Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, or Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville and
News Talk five fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine. But we're
always grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast. This is
(00:23):
the show that belongs to you. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jorner. Well, there's two kinds of today,
right the day that would have happened, the things we
would have talked about, but that all changed. This will
be a shocking wave for you to start your day.
But we get news from the Vatican. Pope Francis has
died at the age of eighty eight. Shocking because after
(00:43):
a thirty a day stay in the hospital and overcoming
double pneumonia without even both lungs, a lot of Catholics
were prepared to say goodbye to this pope and then
seemingly he looked great. Easter Sunday. He looked great. He
met with Jade Evans, he was animated, energetic, he looked terrific.
(01:04):
And then at roughly about one thirty eight pm, Rome time,
the Pope passed away at the age of eighty eight.
Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent, as joining us. I can't
think of a better way to refer to Pope Francis
than the Pope of firsts. I mean the list of
all the first the first Jesuit, the first from the Americas,
(01:25):
the first from the Southern hemisphere, the first.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Outside of Europe since the eighth century.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And it all began after his election at twenty thirteen,
grabbing his own luggage and picking a more humble residence.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He was a Pope of firsts, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, and he won't be laid to rest inside the Vatican,
instead choosing the Saint Mary Major Basilica there in Rome.
Inside that basilica is a painting of the Virgin Mary,
very important to the Pope. Every time he would travel
out of the country. When he returned, that's the first
place he would visit. And even when leaving the hospital
a few weeks his car stopped in front of that
(02:02):
same Basilica. He didn't go inside, but it just reflects
how important that location is. The Pope also requested that
he be entombed or buried in a wooden, simple, wooden coffin,
nothing elaborate, and that just continues how he served as
pope in the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I guess we left out one other first, didn't we,
Francis that was the first, right right?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, it seems to be a long list and a
big soccer fan. I'm not sure I'm any Argentinian soccer fan.
I'm not sure I'm many of those we had.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But that's a big deal to not he won't be
in the Vatican. He'll be at this it's a very
popular church, but he'll be at Saint Mary's.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That will add to the first.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And he goes out simple and.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Poor, the way he wanted it, and then for fascinating.
The great question is how does the church move on
from here?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Do they want more of the same or do they
want to go back to say something something more like
Pope Benedict, much more traditionalists. So it'll be interesting to
see what's next for the church, because I think people
think that that Pope Francis took the church too far
to the left left. Others have been constantly pulling forward
to go further. But let's see how the Vatican and
(03:15):
the College of Cardinals choose to go forward after this.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I would ask you and the listeners simultaneously, have you
seen the movie Conclave. My guess is it will be
streamed a lot in the coming days. I never watch.
I don't go to theaters so much. I just don't
have used for primarily, you know, it's not a political reason.
It's the best writers, the best directing, the best lighting,
the best storytelling has all moved these streaming services. But
(03:43):
I saw Conclave was nominated for several Oscars and it
was on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think it was Netflix, and I hit play. What
a terrific movie. I mean, just.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Again, I don't know politically how accurate it is, but
if you want to look at a great cast, great storytelling,
great ending, I highly recommend content.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Now there, I'm throwing the yellow flag on great ending.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well all right, I mean let me refer to Surprise. Yeah, yeah,
I made a lot of people angry Surprise ending turn off.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
The last five minutes. You'll be better. Yeah. Well, it's
funny because I pick up the phone. I was, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I was, I rate the first time, and then I've
watched it probably six times, and I got less and
less I rate the more I watch it. I wonder
if that would happen to you. But I don't want
to ruin the movie for people. But but it'll give
them a glimpse that there is a dean of the
Cardinal College, and that these cardinals will come from all
over the world. They will be sequestered, and they will
(04:45):
be in a conclave until the white smoke appears and
two thirds get a vote.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I mean, if you want to.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
See all that to say, if you want to see
the process played out in a rather politically dramatic way,
the movie will give you a crash in that. But
you're right, And in that movie, that was a big
part of the storyline that the church under Tedesco was
wanting to go back to traditional and conservative right. And
(05:11):
then Lawrence and boys, Stanley Tucci just looks like a
great pulpe, doesn't he just between you and me, but
he wanted to take it more to the left. And
then of course Hollywood made it really left at the end.
But but they'll see that process. In the movie Conclave,
I was as outraged as you Rory the first time.
Just so you know there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I was.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I was out with an eye roll and yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, And they'll they'll know what we're talking about
after they watch it, all right, And I guess, you know,
there's just this balance.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I know you need to go.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But there's the part that says, wow, this is strange.
Right after Easter Sunday, right after meeting with JD.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Vans.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Then there's a part that says, well, what perfect timing,
good Friday Easter home with a father man. I think,
all right, Roy O'Neil as always great reporting Ruby back
in the third I remember the Pope some more as
well as talk a little bit about is Russia serious
about a ceasefire? I mean, that's gonna be a big
conversation we're gonna have with Chris Walker as well. We
had the big talks in Iran to follow up on
(06:13):
that were Saturday. But we got indications from the administration
that if Russia and Ukraine both don't start being a
little bit more serious about this, the US is ready
to walk away as a middleman.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So where do things stand in Iran? And Russia and
Ukraine will have more on that with Rory in the
third hour.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I didn't want to ruin the movie for anybody in
Rory's defense. The first time I watched it because as
I'm watching this movie, I'm going, oh, my gosh, Hollywood
made something great. It was just spectacular, beautiful cinematography, beautiful writing,
beautiful acting. It was just you know. And I hit
(06:54):
pause at one point to go get something to drink,
and I told my wife, this movie's unbelievable. It's been
about twenty five thirty years since Hollywood's made something this good.
And then Holly would of course through in their ending.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But he's not crazy. He had will outrage you first.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
For some reason, the more I watched it, the more
I don't know. It didn't sit so bad with me.
That's all I'm going to say, because I don't want
to ruin it because a lot of you are going
to watch that movie now that a conclave is in
our immediate future.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Just to recap, the Vatican announce Pope Francis died Easter Monday.
He took part in Saint Peter's Square in the Easter
service he met with our vice president. In fact, if
you want to see what the Pope looked like hours
before his death, you will see it. It's well documented
because of his meeting with Vice President Jade Vance.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And here's how it sounded. Pray for you every day,
your friend. Lay on your joey because you'll a bit
of lead. Happy Easter.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Pray for you every day.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Side, Puss. You so good to see you. How you
find yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think it had not been feeling great, but it's
good to see you in deader health.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Future.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
These are these are for your children, thank you?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Uh, these are the gifts. These also gifts for you.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
With futial Vatican tie. And then the rosaries for your
wife or wife for your children.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And the one red one is thank you very much
for your visit. Of course.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know it's interesting there were obviously translators. I would
think the Pope has speak what Italian for sure, right,
and then he probably speaks Spanish from his origins. Uh,
maybe the English isn't so great, so the Pope had
a translator.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
J D.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Bance was with you know, I'm not certain who that
was with him. I presumed it was the ambassador to Italy,
but I'm not I'm not certain, and so there was
some translating going back and forth. So it's really a
visual more than an audio because you mostly hear jd
Vance speaking in English. But the Pope was very alert,
(09:11):
great energy, a great spirit about him, very animated, I mean,
talking with his hands and everything.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He seemed genuinely happy to see jd. Vance and very
cordial and warm.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you know, after thirty eight days in the hospital,
we were respecting him to die. He's back at the Vatican,
He's in Saint Peter's Square on Easter, he's meeting with
the Vice President, and then hours later would pass away
in his home chamber at the age of eighty eight.
So waking up big story. Pope Francis passing away at
(09:46):
the age of eighty eight, makes it to Easter Sunday,
and then goes home to be with the father. Then
the rest is political fighting. Will compare Raskins to China
and rasking giving the same threats. China's get you know,
if you work with this Donald Trump, when we're in power,
We're going to remember you. I don't know when Raskin
(10:08):
made this dramatic statement, he expected to be side by
side with China in this threat, but he.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Is It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I am not Catholic, but I am respectful of my
brothers and sisters who are mourning the death of their
Pope Francis at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Tammy Trehillo has more.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
Father Gerald Murray, pastor at Saint Joseph in New York City,
spoke about francis legacy.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
He's a pope who embrace in a very visible way,
concerned for the poor and the sick. He was concerned
for people in society who are often overlooked.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
Oh Francis passed away earlier today, about a month after
leaving a hospital in Rome where he was treated for
various respiratory ailments. Pope Francis, whose birth name was Jorge Bergolio,
was born in Argentina. He was the first Jesuit pope
from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere, and
the first pope from outside Europe since the eighth century.
During his papacy, the church faced a number of child
(11:09):
sexual abuse cases involving about three thousand priests, some of
which dated back fifty years. Oh Francis made sweeping changes
that allow for greater transparency. I'm Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well as the news breaks, as everyone's waking up this morning,
tributes are pouring in on Pope Francis.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Michael Cassner reports. Vice President J. D.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Vance met Pope Francis at the Vatican on Easter Sunday,
just hours before the Pope died.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Pray for you every day.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
After the news broke, the Vice President said his heart
goes out to the millions of Christians all over the
world who loved him. French President Emanuel Macron said that
Pope Francis always sighted with the most vulnerable and the
most fragile, and said a great pain would be felt
in France and around the world. Israeli President Isaac Herzog
called Francis a man of deep faith and endless compassion
(12:01):
who fostered ties with the Jewish world.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I'm Michael Kassner, a.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Former top Pentagon spokesperson, says the DoD is in disarray
under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Mark Mayfield has his story.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
John Ulliott, who was the acting assistant to Hegseth for
public affairs before resigning last week, wrote in a Politico
magazine piece that it has been a month of total
chaos at the Pentagon. Olliot said, from leaks to mass firings,
the issues are now a major distraction for the president.
He went on to add that it is hard to
see Hegseth remaining in his role much longer.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
C and M reported Sunday that Hegseth.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Had shared military plans regarding an operation against the Huthis
and Yemen with his brother, lawyer, and wife across the
signal app Hegseth's brother and lawyer both have jobs at
the Department of Defense, although his wife does not.

A fatal, rare brain disorder similar to mad cow disease
has killed two people in Oregon.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Details now from Lisa Carton.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
The guests were confirmed by the hudd River County Health
Department on April fourteenth. Health officials say in the last
eight months, there's been one confirmed case and two possible
cases of the illness kreutz Felt Jakob disease. Out of
the three cases, two have died. The health department said
that there is currently no identifiable link between the three cases,
and the risk of getting the disease is extremely low.

I'm Lisa Carton.

Over one hundred and thirty international students can stay in
the US for now anyway.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
A temporary restraining order was issued Friday by US District
Court Judge Victoria Calvert against ICE and other federal agencies
after the student's vices were suddenly revoked. The judges order
prevents the deportation of one hundred and thirty three students
from at least five countries and demands that the students
be placed back in the Federal Student and Exchange Visitor Program,
(13:45):
which is used to track non immigrant students and exchange visitors.
I'm Scott carr.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
Hey, I'm Mike Arragon and Santel, Arizona and my morning show,
Your Morning Show with Michael Derrijelho.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hi, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Your Morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and Dallas Sport
Worth Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, DC
and five point fifty kp YI and.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's it's always poor timing to find a new great
show and a potential binge the night before you're going
to bed, to get up at three in the morning.
But that's what happened to me watching Apple's Your Friends
and Neighbors with John Hamm terrific show. So I'm a
(14:45):
little sleepy. I gotta admit from binging the show. Apparently
so is the computer. We often joke about how does
the computer do it? How does it know what we're
talking about to play just the right song? Jeffrey, would
you like to explain to everybody I was discussing the
passing of the Pope what the computer was going to
play as the out music.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
The first one was Devil Inside Yeah, not going to
do that, Yeah. And then right after that was rock
and Pneumonia. That would be very poor timing.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
Don't Worry Be Happy, which I almost let it slide,
but I went with Swingtown with Steve Miller Bands.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I think that was a wise choice.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
We're all waking up to the news that Pope Francis,
after thirty eight days in the hospital suffering double pneumonia,
seemingly overcoming that to be a part of good Friday
service and Easter service from Saint Peter's Square. Even met
last with the Vice President. I think Vice President Ja
d Vance was one of his last meetings as Pope
(15:43):
passed away about one thirty eight Rome time on Easter Mondays.
So many in America, some what is it sixty million
Catholics in America waking up this morning to the news
Pope Francis has passed way at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We call him the Pope of firsts.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
First to choose the name Francis would be the first one,
born Jorge Bogorlio. He was a first from Argentina. He
was a first Jesuit post, a first from the Americas,
a first from the Southern hemisphere, and the first pope
from outside Europe since the eighth century. Pope Francis is
gone at the age of eighty eight, and his church
(16:24):
mourns as it prepares for a new pope and a
college of cardinals and a conclave. We're going to have
a little bit more on that. I knew that you
had to be eighty and under. So cardinals will convene
from around the world for a conclave in the Vatican.
(16:45):
You might want to see some of the numbers of
who will be doing the voting. Getting back to that
question from Rory meant in the church want to go
back to the right, back to more conservativism and away
from some of the leftist leanings of Pope Francis, at
least in the numbers, a suggestion that may not happen.
(17:05):
And what does a Maryland eighth District representative have in
common with China? They're both making threats to any countries
that cooperate with Donald Trump. That's an interesting story. Chris
Walker is going to join us in the third hour.
How important is the success of Iranian nuke talks and
quite frankly leading Russia and Ukraine into peace as an
(17:31):
achievement for President Trump. We're now beyond one hundred days exactly,
but right around one hundred days we'll last GOP Republican
Chris Walker about that in just a little bit, all right,
if you're just waking up. President Trump is threatening to
remove the FED Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's a question. Will he? That's a question can he? Legally?
That's a question?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Good as our White House correspondent of eight presidents is
also a Supreme Court Bar attorney John Decker here with
that story.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
First, not pleased with him.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I don't know that he has committed to removing him
yet or suggesting he would like to remove him yet,
has he.
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Well, he's put that out on social media many times, Michael,
including last week, the idea of replacing him, firing him,
and the reason why he's so disappointed or upset with
sed shairman Jerome Pwells because he believes that he has
not lowered interest rates, which he believes is in the
best interests of the country. Of course, that's been an
(18:39):
independent body. The Fedshare serves for four year terms.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And do you know who named.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Him as fedshare originally?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
If that would be him?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So it's like you knowever, you know, it's one thing
when you're a new manager and you fire somebody that
somebody else hired. But when you hire somebody and within
four years you're ready to fire him, well that's kind
of on YouTube he was about hire the timing on
this all right, Well, the big question for the attorney
John Decker would be Kenny Legally.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Well, there's a specific law that allows for the removal
of a fed share It's Section ten of the Federal
Reserve Act, and that law states that each member of
the Board, including the chairman, shall hold office for fourteen
years unless sooner removed for cause by the President. But
the statute doesn't have any language, specifically Michael, that addresses
what exactly constitutes for cause. The term has been interpreted
(19:32):
in legal rulings to mean inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance.
It's hard to pinpoint that on Jerown pal and this
may Indeed, if the President pulls the trigger fires Jerome
pal this would.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Likely end up at the Supreme Court.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Now, keep in mind his term actually.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Ends in twenty twenty six. It ends next year.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And perhaps the President.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Ought to be patient and then he can name.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
The replacement that he would like like to have for
Jerome Powell by just waiting one additional year.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, because the cuts are coming, they're just not coming
as fast as maybe Europe has done it, or Donald
Trump would like it to offset some of the instability
with the tariff negotiations tariffs that he's initiated. I mean,
this one screams, wait till twenty twenty six if anything
by then, But I mean.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah, that's right, he could be negotiating.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
With them too right.
Speaker 11 (20:29):
I mean, there is another factor that you have to
put in there is that the Treasury Secretary, who.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Is an ally of course President Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
He's named them to.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
That position, Scott Desson. He has urged the President not
to replace Jerome Powell.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
One of the primary reasons is.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
Because it would really royal the financial markets in a
very big way.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The financial markets would.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
Just lose confidence in the FED and the US financial system.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
So that's another factor that the.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
President has to weigh if indeed he's considered firing Jerome Powell.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well, don't forget too that there's a political lens, and
from a political lens standpoint, you're just playing right into
their narrative. But yeah, spooking the market would be I
want to get your take on the Supreme Court order
on Saturday. I know we didn't have a chance to
prediscuss this. I hope I'm not catching you off guard,
but the Court did not grant or deny the use
of the Alien Enemies Act in this It's just specifically
a pause to look at something, right.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Yeah, it's a pause, and the reason for the pause
has a lot to do with when the Supreme Court
originally looked upon this particular issue, and what the Supreme
Court ruled unanimously, unanimously.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Nine to zero, is that individuals.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Even those that the.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Administration which wishes to deport.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Using this law, which.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
Hasn't been used much in our nation's history, must have
a habeas corpus hearing, which means they need to have
due process.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Before being booted out of the country. And that is
not something.
Speaker 11 (21:58):
That was afforded to that original planeload of individuals that
was sent to El Salvador. That's what the Supreme Court
said must happen with future plainloads of individuals that the
US wishes to deport out of the country.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
And I'm almost positive I talked about it with you
because it came from you. I trusted.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
The reality is the press can find favorable places to
do this and still achieve the same thing.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Right, Well, that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I said that.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
I said he doesn't need to rely on the alien
enemies that to deport individuals out of the country, And
there was some legal advice that they must have.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Wait relied on.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
To think that that is how we get.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Around the habeas corpus issue, that is how we get
around due process.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Not true.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
You still need to provide due process. That is something
that the Supreme Court strongly felt nine to nothing ruling
on that front.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
And so I think that the President can still.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Get his way in terms of reporting individuals. If these individuals, and.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
It goes for that marilynd Man as well, if he
has violated the law, if he is the person that
the administration is essentially painting him out to be, then
when he has that hearing, he's going to get back
on a plane out of the country. And that's something
to keep in mind as well.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, Supreme Court bar Attorney. As always,
thank you, sir, carefully, we will talk again tomorrow, all right,
if you're just waking up. The big news is the death.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of the Pope.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Pope Francis has passed away at the age of eighty eight.
Rory O'Neil reports.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
The statement from Cardinal Kevin Farrell reads, in part, Dearest
brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow, he must announce the
death of our Holy Father Francis. At seven thirty five
this morning, the Bishop of Rome. Francis returned to the
House of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to
the service of the Lord and of his church. He
taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage,
(23:53):
and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and
most marginalized.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I'm Rory O'Neal.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, for those like me who have watched the movie Conclave,
you know exactly what's in the future. The passing of
Pope Francis means the process will begin to select his successor.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
Well.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Any baptized Roman Catholic mayor can technically be elected as pontiff.
The pope has traditionally been chosen from the College of
Cardinals since the fourteenth century. There are currently seventeen cardinals
in the United States. Italy, by comparison, has fifty one
cardinals under the age of eighty vote by secret ballot
until a candidate gets two thirds of the vote. I'm
(24:32):
Michael Cassner, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
As of April twenty twenty five of this year, there
were two hundred and fifty two cardinals, of whom one
hundred and thirty five are eligible to vote in the
conclave to elect the new Pope. That means they meet
the standard of being under eighty years old. Appointed by Pope,
cardinals serve for life, but becoming ineligible are participants in
(24:59):
the conclave that are over the age of eighty to vote.
Pope Francis specifically has appointed one hundred and ten cardinal
electors as of December of last year, with one hundred
and forty in total and one hundred and ten appointed
by Pope Francis. To that question, we were discussing with
(25:20):
Roory O'Neil or for the one point four billion Catholics
worldwide or sixty million in America. And however, many are
listening to me for those wanting things to lean back
traditionally or back conservatively versus the progressive lean of Pope Francis.
I think you can do the simple math there. There
(25:40):
is a proclivity of one hundred and ten out of
one hundred and forty that are left able to vote
appointed by Pope Francis himself. Might give you some indication
that while we'll get a new Pope, there won't be
a new lean necessarily to the head of the church.
The University of Massachusetts student who's been arrested for legedly
fire bombing a Tesla dealership.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Jim Forbes has the latest on that story.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
The Department of Justice said nineteen year old Owen McIntyre
was arrested on the UMass Boston campus. McIntyre has been
charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and
malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce.
A federal criminal complaint says McIntyre was in his hometown
(26:26):
of Kansas City for spring break when he allegedly set
the dealership on fire.

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Services issued a public
public health alert. This says a lot to get your
arms around first thing in the morning for pork. How
do I say carnaitas carnatas?
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Port carnatas and that's carnaitas whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Pork products from Aldy Lisa Carton has them.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
The detailed pronuck may be contaminated with pieces of metal deler.
It applies to sixteen ounce packages labeled pork carnitas, seasoned
and seer pork with juices, slow cooked with citrus.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Affected products have a.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Used date of June thirtieth or July first printed on
the side. The Food and Safety Inspection Service urges consumers
do not eat the product and discard it.

One hundred and thirty international students can stand in the
US for now anyway.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
A temporary restraining order was issued Friday by US District
Court Judge Victoria Calvert against ICE and other federal agencies
after the student's vices were suddenly revoked. The judges order
prevents the deportation of one hundred and thirty three students
from at least five countries and demands that the students
be placed back in the Federal Student and Exchange Visitor Program,
(27:45):
which is used to track non immigrant students and exchange visitors.
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Got good news for my KTOK Oklahoma City listeners. Got
some bad news from our WRC Memphis listeners. The Thunder
up one game to nothing after beating the Grizz by
fifty one yesterday. Another way of looking at it is
whether you lose a heartbreaker in overtime by one or
blown out by fifty one, you're just down one game
to nothing. There if I consoled, everybody calves up one
(28:11):
nothing after beating the Heat one twenty one to one hundred,
and Golden State up one game to nothing beating the
Warriors ninety five to eighty five.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. Pope
Francis is dead at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
As the Catholic world morn Sinners is now the top
film at the box office in the Midwest. Looking to
get hit with more severe weather today and you're looking
to get hit with your sounds.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Everybody look a load. Look, you just gotta try harder.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
To shock if the opportunity for a brief specifics lesson
sure perhaps seems like to be alone a deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Politics, I don't know. I don't know what it says
about me.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Every time you hear Senator Kennedy from Louisiana cheers me up,
all right, well happy, the world wakes up shocked. I mean,
after thirty eight days in the hospital, with everyone ready
for the Pope to pass, he ends up back at work,
and then after celebrating Easter Sunday in Saint Peter's Square,
even meeting with Vice President jd.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Vance.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He looks you can't see the fit of the footage,
but he looks alert, he looks healthy, he's animated. He's
hand gesturing. I mean, this just doesn't look like somebody
getting ready to pass away within hours. And I don't
know what the exact technical list is. I've been searching,
I can't find it, but I do believe our Vice
(29:33):
president wasn't one of the last to visit with Pope Francis.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And here's how it sounded.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I think you have not been feeling great, but it's
good to see.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You in dead health. Translator having to translate. These are
these are for your children? They thank you, uh, these
are the gifts. He's also gifts for you without you the.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Vatican time, and then the rosaries for your wife wife,
for your children, and the.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Thank you very much for your visit.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Of course, of course, and thank you for seeing me.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Pray for you every day.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Beautiful exchange between the Pope and Vice President J. D. Vance.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And then about one thirty eight a m. Rome time,
Pope Francis passed away. Well, if you're wondering, and they
were at Fox Sunday. Who actually picked up the tab
for the Maryland senator to go grandstand and El Salvador
Senator Van Holland answers for himself.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Who did pay for this trip?
Speaker 7 (30:49):
This was an officially clear you know, congressional trip clear basis, Yes,
like every other trip.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And then you had Michael Strahand I mean, a former
defensive lineman, a sack machine for the Giants. Now, of course,
just your typical morning host talking to the wife of
Kilmar Garcia.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Boy.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
That didn't go well.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
Listen, ministration, they're resisting a quote order to bring your
husband back to the US. They say your husband a
member of the MS thirteen gang? Is Is he a
member of the MS thirteen gang or any other gang?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
No, he's not.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
And I know this is a sensitive question, but I
have to ask it. You did take out a temporary
order of protection against your husband in twenty twenty one?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Were you in fear of your husband husband his life?
That's all I can say.
Speaker 14 (31:51):
Okay, you know I'm not going to push on that.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
That's revealing. So he beats you. You filed in court
to restraining order. You're asked about it on national television.
Your answer is, my husband is a lie. And as
for the trip, you all paid for it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindel Joano
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, or Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville and
News Talk five fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine. But we're
always grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast. This is
(00:23):
the show that belongs to you. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jorner. Well, there's two kinds of today,
right the day that would have happened, the things we
would have talked about, but that all changed. This will
be a shocking wave for you to start your day.
But we get news from the Vatican. Pope Francis has
died at the age of eighty eight. Shocking because after
(00:43):
a thirty a day stay in the hospital and overcoming
double pneumonia without even both lungs, a lot of Catholics
were prepared to say goodbye to this pope and then
seemingly he looked great. Easter Sunday. He looked great. He
met with Jade Evans, he was animated, energetic, he looked terrific.
(01:04):
And then at roughly about one thirty eight pm, Rome time,
the Pope passed away at the age of eighty eight.
Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent, as joining us. I can't
think of a better way to refer to Pope Francis
than the Pope of firsts. I mean the list of
all the first the first Jesuit, the first from the Americas,
(01:25):
the first from the Southern hemisphere, the first.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Outside of Europe since the eighth century.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And it all began after his election at twenty thirteen,
grabbing his own luggage and picking a more humble residence.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He was a Pope of firsts, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, and he won't be laid to rest inside the Vatican,
instead choosing the Saint Mary Major Basilica there in Rome.
Inside that basilica is a painting of the Virgin Mary,
very important to the Pope. Every time he would travel
out of the country. When he returned, that's the first
place he would visit. And even when leaving the hospital
a few weeks his car stopped in front of that
(02:02):
same Basilica. He didn't go inside, but it just reflects
how important that location is. The Pope also requested that
he be entombed or buried in a wooden, simple, wooden coffin,
nothing elaborate, and that just continues how he served as
pope in the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I guess we left out one other first, didn't we,
Francis that was the first, right right?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, it seems to be a long list and a
big soccer fan. I'm not sure I'm any Argentinian soccer fan.
I'm not sure I'm many of those we had.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But that's a big deal to not he won't be
in the Vatican. He'll be at this it's a very
popular church, but he'll be at Saint Mary's.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That will add to the first.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And he goes out simple and.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Poor, the way he wanted it, and then for fascinating.
The great question is how does the church move on
from here?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Do they want more of the same or do they
want to go back to say something something more like
Pope Benedict, much more traditionalists. So it'll be interesting to
see what's next for the church, because I think people
think that that Pope Francis took the church too far
to the left left. Others have been constantly pulling forward
to go further. But let's see how the Vatican and
(03:15):
the College of Cardinals choose to go forward after this.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I would ask you and the listeners simultaneously, have you
seen the movie Conclave. My guess is it will be
streamed a lot in the coming days. I never watch.
I don't go to theaters so much. I just don't
have used for primarily, you know, it's not a political reason.
It's the best writers, the best directing, the best lighting,
the best storytelling has all moved these streaming services. But
(03:43):
I saw Conclave was nominated for several Oscars and it
was on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think it was Netflix, and I hit play. What
a terrific movie. I mean, just.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Again, I don't know politically how accurate it is, but
if you want to look at a great cast, great storytelling,
great ending, I highly recommend content.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Now there, I'm throwing the yellow flag on great ending.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well all right, I mean let me refer to Surprise. Yeah, yeah,
I made a lot of people angry Surprise ending turn off.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
The last five minutes. You'll be better. Yeah. Well, it's
funny because I pick up the phone. I was, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I was, I rate the first time, and then I've
watched it probably six times, and I got less and
less I rate the more I watch it. I wonder
if that would happen to you. But I don't want
to ruin the movie for people. But but it'll give
them a glimpse that there is a dean of the
Cardinal College, and that these cardinals will come from all
over the world. They will be sequestered, and they will
(04:45):
be in a conclave until the white smoke appears and
two thirds get a vote.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I mean, if you want to.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
See all that to say, if you want to see
the process played out in a rather politically dramatic way,
the movie will give you a crash in that. But
you're right, And in that movie, that was a big
part of the storyline that the church under Tedesco was
wanting to go back to traditional and conservative right. And
(05:11):
then Lawrence and boys, Stanley Tucci just looks like a
great pulpe, doesn't he just between you and me, but
he wanted to take it more to the left. And
then of course Hollywood made it really left at the end.
But but they'll see that process. In the movie Conclave,
I was as outraged as you Rory the first time.
Just so you know there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I was.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I was out with an eye roll and yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, And they'll they'll know what we're talking about
after they watch it, all right, And I guess, you know,
there's just this balance.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I know you need to go.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But there's the part that says, wow, this is strange.
Right after Easter Sunday, right after meeting with JD.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Vans.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Then there's a part that says, well, what perfect timing,
good Friday Easter home with a father man. I think,
all right, Roy O'Neil as always great reporting Ruby back
in the third I remember the Pope some more as
well as talk a little bit about is Russia serious
about a ceasefire? I mean, that's gonna be a big
conversation we're gonna have with Chris Walker as well. We
had the big talks in Iran to follow up on
(06:13):
that were Saturday. But we got indications from the administration
that if Russia and Ukraine both don't start being a
little bit more serious about this, the US is ready
to walk away as a middleman.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So where do things stand in Iran? And Russia and
Ukraine will have more on that with Rory in the
third hour.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I didn't want to ruin the movie for anybody in
Rory's defense. The first time I watched it because as
I'm watching this movie, I'm going, oh, my gosh, Hollywood
made something great. It was just spectacular, beautiful cinematography, beautiful writing,
beautiful acting. It was just you know. And I hit
(06:54):
pause at one point to go get something to drink,
and I told my wife, this movie's unbelievable. It's been
about twenty five thirty years since Hollywood's made something this good.
And then Holly would of course through in their ending.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But he's not crazy. He had will outrage you first.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
For some reason, the more I watched it, the more
I don't know. It didn't sit so bad with me.
That's all I'm going to say, because I don't want
to ruin it because a lot of you are going
to watch that movie now that a conclave is in
our immediate future.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Just to recap, the Vatican announce Pope Francis died Easter Monday.
He took part in Saint Peter's Square in the Easter
service he met with our vice president. In fact, if
you want to see what the Pope looked like hours
before his death, you will see it. It's well documented
because of his meeting with Vice President Jade Vance.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And here's how it sounded. Pray for you every day,
your friend. Lay on your joey because you'll a bit
of lead. Happy Easter.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Pray for you every day.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Side, Puss. You so good to see you. How you
find yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think it had not been feeling great, but it's
good to see you in deader health.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Future.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
These are these are for your children, thank you?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Uh, these are the gifts. These also gifts for you.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
With futial Vatican tie. And then the rosaries for your
wife or wife for your children.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And the one red one is thank you very much
for your visit. Of course.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know it's interesting there were obviously translators. I would
think the Pope has speak what Italian for sure, right,
and then he probably speaks Spanish from his origins. Uh,
maybe the English isn't so great, so the Pope had
a translator.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
J D.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Bance was with you know, I'm not certain who that
was with him. I presumed it was the ambassador to Italy,
but I'm not I'm not certain, and so there was
some translating going back and forth. So it's really a
visual more than an audio because you mostly hear jd
Vance speaking in English. But the Pope was very alert,
(09:11):
great energy, a great spirit about him, very animated, I mean,
talking with his hands and everything.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He seemed genuinely happy to see jd. Vance and very
cordial and warm.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you know, after thirty eight days in the hospital,
we were respecting him to die. He's back at the Vatican,
He's in Saint Peter's Square on Easter, he's meeting with
the Vice President, and then hours later would pass away
in his home chamber at the age of eighty eight.
So waking up big story. Pope Francis passing away at
(09:46):
the age of eighty eight, makes it to Easter Sunday,
and then goes home to be with the father. Then
the rest is political fighting. Will compare Raskins to China
and rasking giving the same threats. China's get you know,
if you work with this Donald Trump, when we're in power,
We're going to remember you. I don't know when Raskin
(10:08):
made this dramatic statement, he expected to be side by
side with China in this threat, but he.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Is It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I am not Catholic, but I am respectful of my
brothers and sisters who are mourning the death of their
Pope Francis at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Tammy Trehillo has more.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
Father Gerald Murray, pastor at Saint Joseph in New York City,
spoke about francis legacy.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
He's a pope who embrace in a very visible way,
concerned for the poor and the sick. He was concerned
for people in society who are often overlooked.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
Oh Francis passed away earlier today, about a month after
leaving a hospital in Rome where he was treated for
various respiratory ailments. Pope Francis, whose birth name was Jorge Bergolio,
was born in Argentina. He was the first Jesuit pope
from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere, and
the first pope from outside Europe since the eighth century.
During his papacy, the church faced a number of child
(11:09):
sexual abuse cases involving about three thousand priests, some of
which dated back fifty years. Oh Francis made sweeping changes
that allow for greater transparency. I'm Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well as the news breaks, as everyone's waking up this morning,
tributes are pouring in on Pope Francis.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Michael Cassner reports. Vice President J. D.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Vance met Pope Francis at the Vatican on Easter Sunday,
just hours before the Pope died.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Pray for you every day.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
After the news broke, the Vice President said his heart
goes out to the millions of Christians all over the
world who loved him. French President Emanuel Macron said that
Pope Francis always sighted with the most vulnerable and the
most fragile, and said a great pain would be felt
in France and around the world. Israeli President Isaac Herzog
called Francis a man of deep faith and endless compassion
(12:01):
who fostered ties with the Jewish world.

Former top Pentagon spokesperson, says the DoD is in disarray
under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Mark Mayfield has his story.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
John Ulliott, who was the acting assistant to Hegseth for
public affairs before resigning last week, wrote in a Politico
magazine piece that it has been a month of total
chaos at the Pentagon. Olliot said, from leaks to mass firings,
the issues are now a major distraction for the president.
He went on to add that it is hard to
see Hegseth remaining in his role much longer.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
C and M reported Sunday that Hegseth.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Had shared military plans regarding an operation against the Huthis
and Yemen with his brother, lawyer, and wife across the
signal app Hegseth's brother and lawyer both have jobs at
the Department of Defense, although his wife does not.

The guests were confirmed by the hudd River County Health
Department on April fourteenth. Health officials say in the last
eight months, there's been one confirmed case and two possible

the three cases, two have died. The health department said
that there is currently no identifiable link between the three cases,

Hi, it's me Michael.

Your Morning show can be heard on great stations across

Speaker 1 (14:17):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's it's always poor timing to find a new great
show and a potential binge the night before you're going
to bed, to get up at three in the morning.
But that's what happened to me watching Apple's Your Friends
and Neighbors with John Hamm terrific show. So I'm a
(14:45):
little sleepy. I gotta admit from binging the show. Apparently
so is the computer. We often joke about how does
the computer do it? How does it know what we're
talking about to play just the right song? Jeffrey, would
you like to explain to everybody I was discussing the
passing of the Pope what the computer was going to
play as the out music.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
The first one was Devil Inside Yeah, not going to
do that, Yeah. And then right after that was rock
and Pneumonia. That would be very poor timing.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
Don't Worry Be Happy, which I almost let it slide,
but I went with Swingtown with Steve Miller Bands.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I think that was a wise choice.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
We're all waking up to the news that Pope Francis,
after thirty eight days in the hospital suffering double pneumonia,
seemingly overcoming that to be a part of good Friday
service and Easter service from Saint Peter's Square. Even met
last with the Vice President. I think Vice President Ja
d Vance was one of his last meetings as Pope
(15:43):
passed away about one thirty eight Rome time on Easter Mondays.
So many in America, some what is it sixty million
Catholics in America waking up this morning to the news
Pope Francis has passed way at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We call him the Pope of firsts.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
First to choose the name Francis would be the first one,
born Jorge Bogorlio. He was a first from Argentina. He
was a first Jesuit post, a first from the Americas,
a first from the Southern hemisphere, and the first pope
from outside Europe since the eighth century. Pope Francis is
gone at the age of eighty eight, and his church
(16:24):
mourns as it prepares for a new pope and a
college of cardinals and a conclave. We're going to have
a little bit more on that. I knew that you
had to be eighty and under. So cardinals will convene
from around the world for a conclave in the Vatican.
(16:45):
You might want to see some of the numbers of
who will be doing the voting. Getting back to that
question from Rory meant in the church want to go
back to the right, back to more conservativism and away
from some of the leftist leanings of Pope Francis, at
least in the numbers, a suggestion that may not happen.
(17:05):
And what does a Maryland eighth District representative have in
common with China? They're both making threats to any countries
that cooperate with Donald Trump. That's an interesting story. Chris
Walker is going to join us in the third hour.
How important is the success of Iranian nuke talks and
quite frankly leading Russia and Ukraine into peace as an
(17:31):
achievement for President Trump. We're now beyond one hundred days exactly,
but right around one hundred days we'll last GOP Republican
Chris Walker about that in just a little bit, all right,
if you're just waking up. President Trump is threatening to
remove the FED Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That's a question. Will he? That's a question can he? Legally?
That's a question?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Good as our White House correspondent of eight presidents is
also a Supreme Court Bar attorney John Decker here with
that story.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
First, not pleased with him.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I don't know that he has committed to removing him
yet or suggesting he would like to remove him yet,
has he.
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Well, he's put that out on social media many times, Michael,
including last week, the idea of replacing him, firing him,
and the reason why he's so disappointed or upset with
sed shairman Jerome Pwells because he believes that he has
not lowered interest rates, which he believes is in the
best interests of the country. Of course, that's been an
(18:39):
independent body. The Fedshare serves for four year terms.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And do you know who named.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Him as fedshare originally?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
If that would be him?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So it's like you knowever, you know, it's one thing
when you're a new manager and you fire somebody that
somebody else hired. But when you hire somebody and within
four years you're ready to fire him, well that's kind
of on YouTube he was about hire the timing on
this all right, Well, the big question for the attorney
John Decker would be Kenny Legally.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Well, there's a specific law that allows for the removal
of a fed share It's Section ten of the Federal
Reserve Act, and that law states that each member of
the Board, including the chairman, shall hold office for fourteen
years unless sooner removed for cause by the President. But
the statute doesn't have any language, specifically Michael, that addresses
what exactly constitutes for cause. The term has been interpreted
(19:32):
in legal rulings to mean inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance.
It's hard to pinpoint that on Jerown pal and this
may Indeed, if the President pulls the trigger fires Jerome
pal this would.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Likely end up at the Supreme Court.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Now, keep in mind his term actually.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Ends in twenty twenty six. It ends next year.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And perhaps the President.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Ought to be patient and then he can name.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
The replacement that he would like like to have for
Jerome Powell by just waiting one additional year.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, because the cuts are coming, they're just not coming
as fast as maybe Europe has done it, or Donald
Trump would like it to offset some of the instability
with the tariff negotiations tariffs that he's initiated. I mean,
this one screams, wait till twenty twenty six if anything
by then, But I mean.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah, that's right, he could be negotiating.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
With them too right.
Speaker 11 (20:29):
I mean, there is another factor that you have to
put in there is that the Treasury Secretary, who.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Is an ally of course President Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
He's named them to.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
That position, Scott Desson. He has urged the President not
to replace Jerome Powell.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
One of the primary reasons is.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
Because it would really royal the financial markets in a
very big way.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
The financial markets would.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
Just lose confidence in the FED and the US financial system.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
So that's another factor that the.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
President has to weigh if indeed he's considered firing Jerome Powell.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well, don't forget too that there's a political lens, and
from a political lens standpoint, you're just playing right into
their narrative. But yeah, spooking the market would be I
want to get your take on the Supreme Court order
on Saturday. I know we didn't have a chance to
prediscuss this. I hope I'm not catching you off guard,
but the Court did not grant or deny the use
of the Alien Enemies Act in this It's just specifically
a pause to look at something, right.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Yeah, it's a pause, and the reason for the pause
has a lot to do with when the Supreme Court
originally looked upon this particular issue, and what the Supreme
Court ruled unanimously, unanimously.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Nine to zero, is that individuals.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Even those that the.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Administration which wishes to deport.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Using this law, which.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
Hasn't been used much in our nation's history, must have
a habeas corpus hearing, which means they need to have
due process.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Before being booted out of the country. And that is
not something.
Speaker 11 (21:58):
That was afforded to that original planeload of individuals that
was sent to El Salvador. That's what the Supreme Court
said must happen with future plainloads of individuals that the
US wishes to deport out of the country.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
And I'm almost positive I talked about it with you
because it came from you. I trusted.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
The reality is the press can find favorable places to
do this and still achieve the same thing.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Right, Well, that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I said that.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
I said he doesn't need to rely on the alien
enemies that to deport individuals out of the country, And
there was some legal advice that they must have.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Wait relied on.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
To think that that is how we get.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Around the habeas corpus issue, that is how we get
around due process.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Not true.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
You still need to provide due process. That is something
that the Supreme Court strongly felt nine to nothing ruling
on that front.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
And so I think that the President can still.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Get his way in terms of reporting individuals. If these individuals, and.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
It goes for that marilynd Man as well, if he
has violated the law, if he is the person that
the administration is essentially painting him out to be, then
when he has that hearing, he's going to get back
on a plane out of the country. And that's something
to keep in mind as well.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, Supreme Court bar Attorney. As always,
thank you, sir, carefully, we will talk again tomorrow, all right,
if you're just waking up. The big news is the death.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of the Pope.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Pope Francis has passed away at the age of eighty eight.
Rory O'Neil reports.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
The statement from Cardinal Kevin Farrell reads, in part, Dearest
brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow, he must announce the
death of our Holy Father Francis. At seven thirty five
this morning, the Bishop of Rome. Francis returned to the
House of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to
the service of the Lord and of his church. He
taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage,
(23:53):
and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and
most marginalized.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I'm Rory O'Neal.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, for those like me who have watched the movie Conclave,
you know exactly what's in the future. The passing of
Pope Francis means the process will begin to select his successor.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
Well.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Any baptized Roman Catholic mayor can technically be elected as pontiff.
The pope has traditionally been chosen from the College of
Cardinals since the fourteenth century. There are currently seventeen cardinals
in the United States. Italy, by comparison, has fifty one
cardinals under the age of eighty vote by secret ballot
until a candidate gets two thirds of the vote. I'm
(24:32):
Michael Cassner, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
As of April twenty twenty five of this year, there
were two hundred and fifty two cardinals, of whom one
hundred and thirty five are eligible to vote in the
conclave to elect the new Pope. That means they meet
the standard of being under eighty years old. Appointed by Pope,
cardinals serve for life, but becoming ineligible are participants in
(24:59):
the conclave that are over the age of eighty to vote.
Pope Francis specifically has appointed one hundred and ten cardinal
electors as of December of last year, with one hundred
and forty in total and one hundred and ten appointed
by Pope Francis. To that question, we were discussing with
(25:20):
Roory O'Neil or for the one point four billion Catholics
worldwide or sixty million in America. And however, many are
listening to me for those wanting things to lean back
traditionally or back conservatively versus the progressive lean of Pope Francis.
I think you can do the simple math there. There
(25:40):
is a proclivity of one hundred and ten out of
one hundred and forty that are left able to vote
appointed by Pope Francis himself. Might give you some indication
that while we'll get a new Pope, there won't be
a new lean necessarily to the head of the church.
The University of Massachusetts student who's been arrested for legedly
fire bombing a Tesla dealership.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Jim Forbes has the latest on that story.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
The Department of Justice said nineteen year old Owen McIntyre
was arrested on the UMass Boston campus. McIntyre has been
charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and
malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce.
A federal criminal complaint says McIntyre was in his hometown
(26:26):
of Kansas City for spring break when he allegedly set
the dealership on fire.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I'm Jim Forbes.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Services issued a public
public health alert. This says a lot to get your
arms around first thing in the morning for pork. How
do I say carnaitas carnatas?
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Port carnatas and that's carnaitas whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Pork products from Aldy Lisa Carton has them.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
The detailed pronuck may be contaminated with pieces of metal deler.
It applies to sixteen ounce packages labeled pork carnitas, seasoned
and seer pork with juices, slow cooked with citrus.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Affected products have a.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Used date of June thirtieth or July first printed on
the side. The Food and Safety Inspection Service urges consumers
do not eat the product and discard it.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm Lisa Carton, over.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
One hundred and thirty international students can stand in the
US for now anyway.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
A temporary restraining order was issued Friday by US District
Court Judge Victoria Calvert against ICE and other federal agencies
after the student's vices were suddenly revoked. The judges order
prevents the deportation of one hundred and thirty three students
from at least five countries and demands that the students
be placed back in the Federal Student and Exchange Visitor Program,
(27:45):
which is used to track non immigrant students and exchange visitors.
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Got good news for my KTOK Oklahoma City listeners. Got
some bad news from our WRC Memphis listeners. The Thunder
up one game to nothing after beating the Grizz by
fifty one yesterday. Another way of looking at it is
whether you lose a heartbreaker in overtime by one or
blown out by fifty one, you're just down one game
to nothing. There if I consoled, everybody calves up one
(28:11):
nothing after beating the Heat one twenty one to one hundred,
and Golden State up one game to nothing beating the
Warriors ninety five to eighty five.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. Pope
Francis is dead at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
As the Catholic world morn Sinners is now the top
film at the box office in the Midwest. Looking to
get hit with more severe weather today and you're looking
to get hit with your sounds.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Everybody look a load. Look, you just gotta try harder.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
To shock if the opportunity for a brief specifics lesson
sure perhaps seems like to be alone a deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Politics, I don't know. I don't know what it says
about me.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Every time you hear Senator Kennedy from Louisiana cheers me up,
all right, well happy, the world wakes up shocked. I mean,
after thirty eight days in the hospital, with everyone ready
for the Pope to pass, he ends up back at work,
and then after celebrating Easter Sunday in Saint Peter's Square,
even meeting with Vice President jd.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Vance.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He looks you can't see the fit of the footage,
but he looks alert, he looks healthy, he's animated. He's
hand gesturing. I mean, this just doesn't look like somebody
getting ready to pass away within hours. And I don't
know what the exact technical list is. I've been searching,
I can't find it, but I do believe our Vice
(29:33):
president wasn't one of the last to visit with Pope Francis.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And here's how it sounded.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I think you have not been feeling great, but it's
good to see.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You in dead health. Translator having to translate. These are
these are for your children? They thank you, uh, these
are the gifts. He's also gifts for you without you the.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Vatican time, and then the rosaries for your wife wife,
for your children, and the.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Thank you very much for your visit.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Of course, of course, and thank you for seeing me.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Pray for you every day.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Beautiful exchange between the Pope and Vice President J. D. Vance.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And then about one thirty eight a m. Rome time,
Pope Francis passed away. Well, if you're wondering, and they
were at Fox Sunday. Who actually picked up the tab
for the Maryland senator to go grandstand and El Salvador
Senator Van Holland answers for himself.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Who did pay for this trip?
Speaker 7 (30:49):
This was an officially clear you know, congressional trip clear basis, Yes,
like every other trip.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And then you had Michael Strahand I mean, a former
defensive lineman, a sack machine for the Giants. Now, of course,
just your typical morning host talking to the wife of
Kilmar Garcia.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Boy.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
That didn't go well.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
Listen, ministration, they're resisting a quote order to bring your
husband back to the US. They say your husband a
member of the MS thirteen gang? Is Is he a
member of the MS thirteen gang or any other gang?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
No, he's not.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
And I know this is a sensitive question, but I
have to ask it. You did take out a temporary
order of protection against your husband in twenty twenty one?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Were you in fear of your husband husband his life?
That's all I can say.
Speaker 14 (31:51):
Okay, you know I'm not going to push on that.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
That's revealing. So he beats you. You filed in court
to restraining order. You're asked about it on national television.
Your answer is, my husband is a lie. And as
for the trip, you all paid for it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindel Joano
