A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this togiven. This is your Morning Show
with Michael O'Dell Chorny, and this is what we're in.
We're in Friday, April of twenty fifth year of Our
(00:42):
Lord twenty twenty five. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. Well if youre just waking up. President Trump
First Lady Milanya Trump are headed to Vatican City for
the funeral of the Pope Luigi Mangioni expected to plead
not guilty today when arraigned on federal murder charges for
ugedly fatally shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And the draft, Well,
(01:04):
the first pick overall went as planned caam Ward did
the Tennessee Titans, but no Shador Sanders picked in the
first round. A bit of a shocker in the Browns
trade their second round pick and pass up on arguably
the best athlete in the entire draft. I know Ohio
is probably reeling and second guessing over that. And as
(01:26):
President Trump's first one hundred days in office approaches, negotiations
are still underway for that ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
I guess we would throw in wherever the tariff negotiation stand,
the triumphs and the unfinished business of the first one
hundred days of Donald Trump. With our national correspondent Roy O'Neil.
(01:47):
Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I think the focus today though, is on trying to
get some sort of a ceasefire or some sort of
a deal with Russia and Ukraine. Steve Whitkoff, the President's envoy,
is in Moscow right now. He's got a meeting today
with Vladimir Putin. You know, there's been some criticism that
they're talking too much about a big end deal, a
final settlement when the focus should be on just trying
(02:10):
to get a ceasefire temporary, say thirty days, to stop
the killing. But you know, Ukraine has come to the table.
They're willing to do a ceasefire. Russia, though, dragging their
feet on this. They want a longer lasting sort of agreement,
sort of a one fell swoop kind of a deal
to wrap this whole thing up. So let's see if
Steve Witcoff can have any success today. Yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Bottom line to this is good for President Trump for
trying to get involved and mediate a ceasefire and maybe
an end of this war. Politically, though, he did make
statements like this never would have happened if I was president.
The minute I'm elected, I will stop this. That's where
it becomes a must for his to do list. And
(02:56):
it looks like it's Vladimir Putin standing in the way
of him achieving that. That's how it seems right now.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
The President took some questions on the issue in the
Oval Office yesterday after Russia launched that significant attack on
the capital of Kiev.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What striking apartment complex.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Is killing twelve civilians, wounding dozens more. President Trump on
true socials saying stop with an exclamation point in all
caps was his message to President Putin. So you can
tell that the President is getting a bit frustrated here
because there is going to be all this analysis next week.
But on the thirtieth, I guess when we reach that
one hundred day mark.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
All right, So, Rory, where do we stand with the
mineral deal in Ukraine? If Russia won't cooperate, what happens
to the Ukraine Ukraine end of this? Because if moving
forward means sanctions for Putin, interests of the US in Ukraine,
US feet on the ground in Ukraine, it looks like
things get tougher for Vladimir Putin. Not to mention, Europe
(03:55):
is kind of united to come do to the aid
of Ukraine. I just don't know what Vladimir Putin's holding
out for. Does anybody have any speculation?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's only speculation because I think one of the tripping
issues at this point though, is that Russia is demanding
that Ukraine be demilitarized, that they have no army, no
weapons capabilities. That's one of the demands that Russia is making.
Ukraine is saying that's not going to happen. The issue
about ownership and having the world recognize Crimea as being
(04:25):
Russian territory. That's something that Ukraine isn't happy about. But
again that's going to be part of these talks, and
that may be the focus of those big final truth
deal talks. Whereas we've lost this attempt to just let's
just get a ceasefire to stop the killing for a
couple of weeks while we get to the bargaining table, do.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We have confirmation that the President has pretty much given
them a week. I couldn't tell if the President was
just ingesting, well, let's give this a week, or it's
an ultimatum for Russia in a week. I couldn't quite
discern what he meant that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, and the way it follows the comments that came
from Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio, you know, saying that
you know, they want to see some movement on here,
or the US is just going to walk away from
trying to be a broker, a piece broker in this deal.
It's still a little bit unclear, but I think that look,
not that we.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Made this mess, not at all.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm not saying that, but the way that the US
has been supporting Ukraine so much these past three years.
A lot of this now rests on our role in
whether or not we can continue to support Ukraine, because
if we don't, you know, Russia's going to take the
whole country.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And first up for President Trump is a trip to
Vatican City. Rory will have the preview of Pope Francis's
funeral coming up tomorrow when he comes back in the
third hour. Good reporting, Rory, Thank you all right. If
this shocks you, it doesn't, it doesn't let mean I'm
not doing a very good job of getting you interested.
(05:53):
I would think young people would be less optimistic about
finances than older people, just from the practicality of older people,
like the baby boomers. They probably many of them have
their you know, they're close to getting their Social Security,
(06:15):
they have a four to oh one k or ira portfolio.
Their home is either paid for or close to being
paid for, and they're locked in at a low rate.
All those things that would make you say, well, you know,
I'm not, you know, necessarily an optimistic. But I'm not
pessimistic either, because my life has been lived and my
(06:36):
my ducks are in a row. Whereas young people people,
the anxiety I hear and I know because they're in
my house. Is We're never going to be able to
make money like this, We're never going to be able
to afford a home like this. We're we're never going
to have the opportunities. Uh, that's that age old question.
I'll never forget one of the most impressive speeches I
(06:57):
ever went to. And I don't know that I'm a
pessimistic as much as I am. I do expect the
worst and then I'm delighted when it's not. I'm probably
a realist, not an optimist or a pessimist. But Paul
Harvey was giving a speech and the premise of the
speech is tomorrow is always better than today, and I
(07:18):
wanted to believe that, like there's nothing worse to remember.
In high school, you know, we were all miserable, and
then you know, everybody's thought was, well, life will begin
when we graduate and then you graduate. Well, life will
begin when we graduate college and then you graduate. Well,
then life will begin when I get my job or
I get my dream job, or when I get married,
or when I have kids. And the reality is you
(07:42):
never live. Life never starts. You have to be able
to embrace each moment for what it is as far
as the view is tomorrow always better than today. I mean,
there's nothing worse than the old quarterback from high school
who's still living in that game forty years ago, right,
that that was the peak of his life seventeen years old. Well,
(08:04):
that would be awful, wouldn't it. Or how about when
people get older and we see this often, when they
stay on television or radio too long and they lose
their relevance, they stop living now and forward and start
living looking back. You got I know, you've got to
have a Facebook friend that all their posts are about
(08:24):
the good old days, or they obsess on everyone that's
dying because they've kind of stopped living and moving forward
and they're living in a look back mode. But here's
the shocking truth of this research reported by The Hill.
(08:46):
It has been a while since the youth have been
the most optimistic about anything, and this could be a
big part of Trump's legacy. Eventually, all all these numbers
are going to come around, but much of it continues
to be problems caused by the four years of Joe
(09:06):
Bran Biden and prior. But younger Americans are more likely
than older Americans to say they're doing better financially than
they were a year ago. In a mid April survey
released on Thursday, twenty seven percent of respondents eighteen to
twenty nine say their personal financial situation is better today
than it was a year ago. Don't forget lost in
(09:28):
everything that carried Donald Trump over the top. And there
was a lot the loss of the movement of black
mail votes that were secured by Democrats for decades moving
to Donald Trump. Asian votes, the Hispanic voting block that
had been owned by the Democrats now being lost in totality.
(09:49):
But campuses, This is where the Democrats were able to
register young people, harvest their votes and swing using campuses
swing districts of swing states. And it wasn't there this time.
And a lot of people point to the woke too far,
(10:10):
a lot of people point to COVID, A lot of
people point to the loss of the dream of home ownership,
and of course the answer is all of the above.
So they were a big part of the push for
Donald Trump over the finish line, and they're feeling more optimistic.
(10:31):
Could be as simple as their guy one. And that number,
by the way, twenty seven percent is still small, but
it decreases as the respondents get older. The share of
respondents who say their situation is better today includes twenty
four percent of thirty to forty four year olds, twenty
one percent of forty five to sixty four year olds,
(10:51):
and eighteen percent of sixty five and older, and every
generation respondents are more likely to say their personal financial
situation is worse today than better. It was the most
amazing speech I ever sat through. I mean, Paul Harvey literally,
it was a Salvation Army fundraiser. In an hour and
(11:13):
ten minutes convinced me tomorrow is always better than today.
The current generation always hands off a better life to
the next generation. I didn't enter that speech believing it.
I left that speech wanting to believe it, and here
(11:34):
I am living it. So those who say things are
worse now you're gonna notice these numbers are bigger. So
nobody's being optimistic. But believe it or not, the younger
are more optimistic. Those who say things are worse twenty
nine percent eighteen to twenty nine, thirty five percent thirty
to forty four, thirty six percent forty five to sixty four,
(11:56):
thirty two percent sixty five and older. I mean that's
fixed income retirement. So it is kind of on one
side surprising because everything I hear would be young people
are very concerned about today and even more concerned about tomorrow.
(12:18):
But the numbers show actually not that anybody's optimistic, and
very high numbers that the younger they are. And maybe
that's just because they got more field to play with,
they got more time. You know, that's a big crunch
you feel. I mean, I I don't know the exact
age of everybody listening, but you know, for you younger, for
(12:41):
younger people out there in different segments, you got a
little less anxiety because you have more time. When you
hit fifty and you look down and you realize and
if you haven't saved let's say in a four oh
one k or an ira, I mean you're staring and
your house isn't paid off, things start. Hey, listen. It
(13:02):
gets really bad when you get a new dog and
you question whether or not you're going to outlive the dog.
All right, that's that's the ultimate pressure. But the way
I'm feeling today, I'm betting on the dog. No. But
when you get to you know, you're fifty three years
old and your house is twenty seven more years to go,
(13:22):
and you're in an industry that is going through great chain,
the anxiety goes high and that can affect these numbers. Red,
what was your takeaway that the younger they're coming off
their president that they elected, so they have optimism there
and they got more field to play with, so they
have less anxiety. I mean, I think that would be
None of these numbers are good. That's what I thought
(13:44):
to you. Yeah, especially the thirty six percent. Is that
that retirement age that's where you really start feeling I mean,
forty five to sixty four, that's when you realize you
either did it or you didn't, and you're in hill
Mary mode at that point. So I think, you know,
realism jumps in. I mean, if I could live everything
(14:05):
over again, oh my gosh, the things I would do different.
I try to instill that my kids, but they're on
the same course I was. They're probably going to have
to make those same mistakes. And then there's the things
that happen out of your control. I mean, we had
the Great Stock market Crash, we had the Great Recession,
we had COVID. Certain things that can happen in the
industry that you're in or in your personal career that
(14:26):
forces you. I mean, I can look back at a
four oh one Ki cashed in nineteen ninety or No.
Two thousand and one. I'm thinking that would have been
a million dollars I left to come Amazon Stock were
all of that. But you know, and so nobody's really optimistic.
But the least pessimistic and the most optimistic is the younger,
(14:48):
not the older. I don't know if that surprised you,
but it surprised me, and that you'd pull a plenty
for this Friday, April of twenty five.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I think that's my issue. They say I had the
Benjamin Button effect. I'm thinking, like my young thirty and
twenty five year olds who have watched us as blue
collar workers become debt free on two homes, and they say,
this dream has to be possible. They have both improved
their lives under Trump and they believe in this.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I guess that's why I'm the fanatic that I am. Well, yeah,
I think, I mean, that's what I would take away
from this, not since now I know that there's a
generation that felt this way about Barack Obama, so I'll
probably include him. But I can tell you I was
coming out of high school and beginning my life with
Ronald Reagan as president, and that was high and that's
(15:46):
kind of how these young people feel about Donald Trump. Now.
The problem we made during the Clinton administration was that
was when we became this generation that would look at
what our parents had and say, well, that's what I want,
and I wanted immediately forgetting that they got their over
decades making smart decisions. Then we go off making dumb
decisions trying to get there immediately. That was a big
(16:08):
generational greed mistake. But then I think the last twenty
years people have got more sensible about living within their
means and kind of piecing things back together again. For me,
it's simple, I tithe, I save twenty percent towards retirement,
I save ten percent towards an emergency fund, and the
rest is mine to prioritize on my family and housing
(16:31):
and security. But the younger are a little more optimistic
than the older.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Hey, y'all, it's Mike McCann, the announcer guy done in
New Orleans and my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Juneo.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern great stations like six'
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akron's News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now
(17:15):
enjoy the podcast. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal and
we love your voice. It makes our name come true.
Let's start with Roger real quick, and i want to
show you where I'm going with this.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I'm pretty financially secure, but mostly because I'm pretty modest
my expenditures, and I've come to the point in my
life I'm sixty five waiting that extra one year ten
months that they bait and switched me on the Social
Security But I've come to realization I have enough money
for the rest of my life, but time is much
more important to me than the money.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well that's everything, right. Nobody on their deathbed says I
wish I would have bought that bigger house. I wish
we would have, you know, bought that boat. Time is
the one thing that we a can't control. Be there
can never be enough of you know. I try not.
(18:09):
I try so hard not to connect dots because I
love when you guys connect them on your own, but
because it's a fascinating study. All right. So in the end,
nobody's really optimistic about tomorrow. But ironically, when it comes
to finances, young people are a little bit more optimistic,
and the older you get, the less optimistic. And so
that got us thinking, well, why would that be? Could
(18:33):
be because they just elected their president, so they got
hope in Donald Trump. And we do this every New
Year's and we talk about happy New Year, like it
can just happen. No, if you eat the way you
ate this year next year, drink the way you drink
this year next year, spend your time the same way
you did next year. This year, if you don't change,
(18:57):
I suspect it'll be the same kind of year as
the year before, with a few little circumstances and happenstances
mixed in because the clock and the calendar changes. But
you didn't, I mean, lost in all that research, you're
asking people by age group, how do you feel financially
(19:17):
optimistic or pessimistic? What's lost in all that them? We
start talking about everything but each individual and the choices
they make, because by nature we're never satisfied. The many
get one boat, you want the better boat. Many get
one car, you want the better car. The many you
(19:38):
get one house, you want the better house. I always
told this story I was about and this is not
to brag. In fact, it's just to impress upon you
the point and it ought to unimpress you on me.
I'll show you the lack of character I am. But
I'm like thirty years old, and I'm making a significant
amount of money and I'm just spending and spending. I
(20:00):
did a remote at a car dealership and I made
one hundred dollars an hour at that remote, and I
spent seventy two thousand dollars on a new car. How
dumb is that, you know? And you know fifteen hundred
dollars payment? Oh ok, I got that. What I'd give
to go back and relive all that you know there was.
If I don't like the view of my financial position today,
don't I have to start looking at me and all
(20:21):
the decisions I made. So I'm sitting with my friend
Joe Vig and his restaurant and I get an epiphany
at thirty three years old, Joey, what my key? I
don't have to make more money. I just need to
spend less. And that was like a you know, angels
started but yeah, lost in all of that, isn't it amazing?
(20:46):
How could we possibly know why somebody twenty six years
old said that? And is that twenty six year old
looking at the most I can tell you It's easy
to blame presidents. It's easy to blame market crashes. It's
easy to blame cycles in our industries or a career.
But ultimately, when I look back, there's no one to
blame for where I am more than me, And there's
(21:08):
no one to praise more for where I am than God,
who did it in spite of me. And there's nothing
more important than time. Do not make the scoreboard a salary.
I see young people fretting over what they're going to be.
You know what I tell my kids, I don't care
what you are, and I got news for you. I'm
(21:28):
not sure God does as much as he cares about
who you'll be wherever you are doing it. Wouldn't it
be funny if we all get to the gates and
all we had to do was listen to the song
Don't Worry, Be Happy. It was a choice all along,
(21:49):
but it was a fascinating topic. But yeah, I do
think I would add to it is whoever you're asking
that question, are you satisfied with whether you're at financially
are you optimist? Well, the older you get, the more
you realize clocks running out in your fate is sealed.
You either got a D or an F or a C.
(22:12):
There's not a whole lot of time to catch up.
Or as you're younger, there is time to make change.
This change you probably won't make. But I think that's
the explanation for why the younger we're more optimistic. I
got to get to this story. This is my favorite
story of the day because this is the left providing
a warning to the left, and not just any left axious.
(22:32):
So this is like, you know, the Atlantic axios, These
are the ones that tell the left how to think.
So here's the left warning the left, and the headline
is how democrats headaches are about to get much worse.
Democrats couldn't expose Biden for being too old or even
(22:54):
cognitively impaired, but that blew up in their face. And
now the young progressive so socialists, they're all going after
the over the Hill gang. Progressive groups, emboldened by the
Democrat grassroots extreme dissatisfaction with their party's older establishment, are
preparing to go big in their efforts to unseat Democrat lawmakers.
(23:17):
I've been warning you this is coming. This party is
in a civil war, and it has been for about
twenty two years, but it's coming to a head. And
three times now they would have had one of their
socialists become the nominee for President of the United States.
And three months into the new Congress, more than half
(23:37):
a dozen House Democrats are already facing primary challengers, and
the numbers about the skyrocket. Now we've told you the
story of David Hogg from Parkland, Parkland fame gone activist.
Now he's the DNC vice chair. They put him there
because you know, they're all into social issues while they
(23:57):
created a monster of Fox in the Henhouse. And he's saying, simply,
our party sucks, we have failed, and status quo isn't
going to work. And the biggest problem is we're all
too old. So he's going to do twenty million dollars
to target primary incumbents. By the numbers, at least seven
(24:23):
House Democrats, nearly all north is seventy years old. Some
of them over eighty, are staring down primary challenges from
younger insurgents. In some cases, the age gap is an
eighty five year old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi facing
a thirty nine year old political operative and software engineer.
(24:49):
I mean, think about it. We always joke, what's what
these people? They think they're the only ones that can represent,
the only ones that can serve. I mean, how big
does your ego have to be? Nobody ever goes home
to be a grandparent, enjoy the remainder of their life.
I mean, they had the best job in the world,
They've got the best pension fund you could ever ask for.
(25:10):
I mean, two terms in the Senate and your set,
and they still don't go home. They stay till the
toe tag. But think about it heading into the twenty
twenty six midterm elections, and I think we got to
get into twenty twenty eight for Schumer. But the bottom
line is Nancy Pelosi and Chucky Schumer both look like
(25:31):
odds on favorites to get unseated. They're going to be
thrown out before they can die and get the toe tag.
That was unheard of or unthinkable a year or two ago.
And I'm not even getting into other representatives in California, Indiana, Michigan,
New Jersey. That part would bore you with details. The
bottom line is the socialist Democrats first goal is to
(25:53):
take over the Democrat Party, then get rid of the
electoral College, then dismantle the Republic for their elitist, intellectual
mob rule. And they're not looking at weak Republicans. They're
looking at establishment Democrats. And now they've demonized using the
(26:14):
Joe Biden hoax, they're demonizing anybody old. But here's how
this plays out, or here's an interesting way this could
play out. With twenty millions of Hog's money, they can
get rid of these old people in the Democratic primaries
and then have a vulnerable race against a Republican and
lose further control control. They're already losing through representation because
(26:38):
of population shift from blue states to red states. I mean,
by twenty thirty, things statistically look very difficult for the
Democrats this little stunt plays out, and you get rid
of some because remember what everybody always says, Oh, Congress
is the worst. I mean, they're worse than the lawyers.
I don't know who's always the lowest rated profession sales
(27:06):
used car salesman. I mean, nothing's lower than a member
of Congress. They the lowest approval ratings of anything on earth. Ah,
but it's time to go for election. But not mine.
Oh no, mine's great. Oh, all these senators are worthless.
But not Marshall Blackburn. No, she's wonderful. Well, the Democrats
think the same way, but you take out who they're
(27:27):
comfortable with and put in some strange unknown, and they're
already feeling pushed out of their party and thinking their
party really has majored and all the miners and minored
and all the majors. I'm I'm leaning independent anyway. There's
a very significant story about a member in a state
Senate who just that's it. I'm done, I haven't changed,
(27:52):
this party's gone crazy to the left. I'm out of here.
And he didn't run to the Republican Party. He ran
to non affiliated, just like more and more Americans every
single day. Remember my warning by the end of this decade,
and that's only five years away, one or both parties
may be gone. And I got news for you for
(28:15):
the same reason that State senator would tell you it's dysfunctional.
I don't think our founding fathers, if anything, they warned
against this. This two party system is the problem. All
we do is us versus them, shirts versus skins fighting
and get nothing done. We need all free agents. We
need a government of buy and for the people. But
(28:39):
this is a major thing to keep an eye on.
If the DNC doesn't get rid of Hog and he
pulls this off. Between what they're losing and redistricting by
twenty thirty and what they could lose taking out names
people trust heading into general midterm elections, this could be
(29:02):
the straw that breaks the camel back, because why if
the Justice and I said this ten years ago, because
the Justice Democrats, the Socialists, they'll tell you their whole plan.
You can go look them up and you can watch
the videos. You can even watch them explain why they
handpicked AOC A bartender, and how they took out a
ten term Democrat, how our first plan is to take
(29:24):
over the party, then get rid of the Electoria. They'll
tell you everything. None of this is a surprise, and
the party's known it. They've been blocking it in the DNC.
That's how they blocked Bernie and gave you Hillary. That's
how they blocked Bernie and gave you Biden. That's how
they kept Biden along until they were ready to expose
him so they can handle all of his primary electors
(29:47):
straight to Kamala Harris. They have been avoiding letting their
voters make the choices. But as hog as a vice chair,
is he a problem and equation? But what have I
warned from the very beginning if they even succeeded, because
they only represent about the far left twenty six to
(30:09):
thirty percent of the party, if they succeed in taking
over the party, they're like a parasite that kills the host. Well,
you know what happens to the parasite when the host dies,
it dies too. That's why it was so easy for
me to predict this party will not survive the decade. Now,
the Republican Party is going to go one of two ways.
It's not going to survive the decade because it's going
(30:30):
to morph into trump Ism. And trump Ism is really
Reagan Revolution meets Tea Party meets trump Ism. It's America First.
We don't play this establishment party game anymore and we
focus only on priorities. So in essence it's gone too
(30:52):
Or if Donald Trump fails in the next year or two,
how does it go back to being establishment? Because I
got news for you, Maga voters will never go back
to being just Republican voters. You live in a fascinating
time and if you just do your treadmill eat sensibly
(31:13):
stick around a little while, you're not going to leave
your eyes in the next five years. All Right, that's
our journey of discovery. This is your morning show with
Michael del Chrono. If you're just waking up. The big
story going away is the funeral for Pope Francis and
President Trump and Milania's trip to Roman Vatican City to
(31:34):
attend the funeral. Between that the Correspondence dinner, did we
get a seven day warning for Russia? That tera? I mean,
how would you like to be John Decker and running
back and forth trying to cover all this? But I
know from seeing the pictures you were there. Everything from
the Norway Prime Minister to headed to the Pope's funeral.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
You've had a lot to cover, Yeah, a lot to cover.
The President departs the White House in about it half hour,
making that long trip over to Rome, and he'll be
in Rome overnight the funeral. If you wish to tune
in and watch it, I believe it gets underway four
a m. Eastern time, so it means getting up early.
But it's worth it me These types of events do
(32:15):
not happen that often. That's the reason why President Trump.
Other world leaders traveling to Rome, and the President indicating
yesterday that while he's in Rome, he will have some
bilateral meetings with some other world leaders who will be
in Rome for the funeral.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
All right, so that's the funeral. Then there's this conversation,
some triggered by what Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said,
some what the President said, let's give it a week.
Has Russia been given seven days to get on board?
Or we're getting out of the conversation. Where does all
that stand?
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Well, that's what the President indicated yesterday. He said that
in response to questions that were thrown at him both
in the Cabinet room and also in the Oval Office.
I was there when the President was chatting with the press,
he took a number of my questions and he's essentially said, yeah,
a week's time. At one point he said two weeks time,
but he said a week's time. I think there's just
(33:10):
tremendous frustration because it was two months ago that Ukraine
was presented with this thirty day ceasefire offer by the
United States. Ukraine accepted that deal immediately, and Russia has not.
Russia has continued it strikes on civilian areas in Ukraine,
and that's the reason why I think. You hear the
President expressing his frustration with Putin, even putting that out
(33:33):
on social.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Media yesterday, and the frustration is twofold. One things you're
asking for you know you can't get, and two not
saying what you're really holding out for. There's some vagueness,
So I don't I suspect we're probably going to move
forward with another year of war. But I don't see
how Vladimir Putin thinks this is going well or is
winnable and Ukraine is not going to cave either.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Yeah, I agree, you know, I mean, it's Russia against
you Ukraine. You know, it's the one of the largest
militaries in the world against Ukraine, and Ukraine has held
them essentially to a draw over three years. That doesn't
speak highly about Russia's military capabilities. In fact, they've had
to rely on North Korean soldiers to fight their battle
(34:18):
against Ukraine. You know, there comes a point, and Russia
did this when it was.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
The Civil Union.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
There comes a point where you essentially declare victory and
go home. They did that with Afghanistanistan and perhaps will
have to do that with Ukraine as well.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
We only got ten seconds. But how do you do
a White House correspondence dinner without the president? I don't know.
I mean, you got to do it.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
That's what we did all four years of Trump's first term,
and we're gonna do it once again. Not as much
fun without the president there aftercent no.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I expect pictures. John Decker, have a great weekend. We'll
talk again next week. We're all in this together. This

the podcast. Enjoy two three starting your morning off right,
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this togiven. This is your Morning Show
with Michael O'Dell Chorny, and this is what we're in.
We're in Friday, April of twenty fifth year of Our
(00:42):
Lord twenty twenty five. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. Well if youre just waking up. President Trump
First Lady Milanya Trump are headed to Vatican City for
the funeral of the Pope Luigi Mangioni expected to plead
not guilty today when arraigned on federal murder charges for
ugedly fatally shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And the draft, Well,
(01:04):
the first pick overall went as planned caam Ward did
the Tennessee Titans, but no Shador Sanders picked in the
first round. A bit of a shocker in the Browns
trade their second round pick and pass up on arguably
the best athlete in the entire draft. I know Ohio
is probably reeling and second guessing over that. And as
(01:26):
President Trump's first one hundred days in office approaches, negotiations
are still underway for that ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
I guess we would throw in wherever the tariff negotiation stand,
the triumphs and the unfinished business of the first one
hundred days of Donald Trump. With our national correspondent Roy O'Neil.
(01:47):
Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I think the focus today though, is on trying to
get some sort of a ceasefire or some sort of
a deal with Russia and Ukraine. Steve Whitkoff, the President's envoy,
is in Moscow right now. He's got a meeting today
with Vladimir Putin. You know, there's been some criticism that
they're talking too much about a big end deal, a
final settlement when the focus should be on just trying
(02:10):
to get a ceasefire temporary, say thirty days, to stop
the killing. But you know, Ukraine has come to the table.
They're willing to do a ceasefire. Russia, though, dragging their
feet on this. They want a longer lasting sort of agreement,
sort of a one fell swoop kind of a deal
to wrap this whole thing up. So let's see if
Steve Witcoff can have any success today. Yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Bottom line to this is good for President Trump for
trying to get involved and mediate a ceasefire and maybe
an end of this war. Politically, though, he did make
statements like this never would have happened if I was president.
The minute I'm elected, I will stop this. That's where
it becomes a must for his to do list. And
(02:56):
it looks like it's Vladimir Putin standing in the way
of him achieving that. That's how it seems right now.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
The President took some questions on the issue in the
Oval Office yesterday after Russia launched that significant attack on
the capital of Kiev.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What striking apartment complex.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Is killing twelve civilians, wounding dozens more. President Trump on
true socials saying stop with an exclamation point in all
caps was his message to President Putin. So you can
tell that the President is getting a bit frustrated here
because there is going to be all this analysis next week.
But on the thirtieth, I guess when we reach that
one hundred day mark.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
All right, So, Rory, where do we stand with the
mineral deal in Ukraine? If Russia won't cooperate, what happens
to the Ukraine Ukraine end of this? Because if moving
forward means sanctions for Putin, interests of the US in Ukraine,
US feet on the ground in Ukraine, it looks like
things get tougher for Vladimir Putin. Not to mention, Europe
(03:55):
is kind of united to come do to the aid
of Ukraine. I just don't know what Vladimir Putin's holding
out for. Does anybody have any speculation?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's only speculation because I think one of the tripping
issues at this point though, is that Russia is demanding
that Ukraine be demilitarized, that they have no army, no
weapons capabilities. That's one of the demands that Russia is making.
Ukraine is saying that's not going to happen. The issue
about ownership and having the world recognize Crimea as being
(04:25):
Russian territory. That's something that Ukraine isn't happy about. But
again that's going to be part of these talks, and
that may be the focus of those big final truth
deal talks. Whereas we've lost this attempt to just let's
just get a ceasefire to stop the killing for a
couple of weeks while we get to the bargaining table, do.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We have confirmation that the President has pretty much given
them a week. I couldn't tell if the President was
just ingesting, well, let's give this a week, or it's
an ultimatum for Russia in a week. I couldn't quite
discern what he meant that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, and the way it follows the comments that came
from Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio, you know, saying that
you know, they want to see some movement on here,
or the US is just going to walk away from
trying to be a broker, a piece broker in this deal.
It's still a little bit unclear, but I think that look,
not that we.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Made this mess, not at all.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm not saying that, but the way that the US
has been supporting Ukraine so much these past three years.
A lot of this now rests on our role in
whether or not we can continue to support Ukraine, because
if we don't, you know, Russia's going to take the
whole country.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And first up for President Trump is a trip to
Vatican City. Rory will have the preview of Pope Francis's
funeral coming up tomorrow when he comes back in the
third hour. Good reporting, Rory, Thank you all right. If
this shocks you, it doesn't, it doesn't let mean I'm
not doing a very good job of getting you interested.
(05:53):
I would think young people would be less optimistic about
finances than older people, just from the practicality of older people,
like the baby boomers. They probably many of them have
their you know, they're close to getting their Social Security,
(06:15):
they have a four to oh one k or ira portfolio.
Their home is either paid for or close to being
paid for, and they're locked in at a low rate.
All those things that would make you say, well, you know,
I'm not, you know, necessarily an optimistic. But I'm not
pessimistic either, because my life has been lived and my
(06:36):
my ducks are in a row. Whereas young people people,
the anxiety I hear and I know because they're in
my house. Is We're never going to be able to
make money like this, We're never going to be able
to afford a home like this. We're we're never going
to have the opportunities. Uh, that's that age old question.
I'll never forget one of the most impressive speeches I
(06:57):
ever went to. And I don't know that I'm a
pessimistic as much as I am. I do expect the
worst and then I'm delighted when it's not. I'm probably
a realist, not an optimist or a pessimist. But Paul
Harvey was giving a speech and the premise of the
speech is tomorrow is always better than today, and I
(07:18):
wanted to believe that, like there's nothing worse to remember.
In high school, you know, we were all miserable, and
then you know, everybody's thought was, well, life will begin
when we graduate and then you graduate. Well, life will
begin when we graduate college and then you graduate. Well,
then life will begin when I get my job or
I get my dream job, or when I get married,
or when I have kids. And the reality is you
(07:42):
never live. Life never starts. You have to be able
to embrace each moment for what it is as far
as the view is tomorrow always better than today. I mean,
there's nothing worse than the old quarterback from high school
who's still living in that game forty years ago, right,
that that was the peak of his life seventeen years old. Well,
(08:04):
that would be awful, wouldn't it. Or how about when
people get older and we see this often, when they
stay on television or radio too long and they lose
their relevance, they stop living now and forward and start
living looking back. You got I know, you've got to
have a Facebook friend that all their posts are about
(08:24):
the good old days, or they obsess on everyone that's
dying because they've kind of stopped living and moving forward
and they're living in a look back mode. But here's
the shocking truth of this research reported by The Hill.
(08:46):
It has been a while since the youth have been
the most optimistic about anything, and this could be a
big part of Trump's legacy. Eventually, all all these numbers
are going to come around, but much of it continues
to be problems caused by the four years of Joe
(09:06):
Bran Biden and prior. But younger Americans are more likely
than older Americans to say they're doing better financially than
they were a year ago. In a mid April survey
released on Thursday, twenty seven percent of respondents eighteen to
twenty nine say their personal financial situation is better today
than it was a year ago. Don't forget lost in
(09:28):
everything that carried Donald Trump over the top. And there
was a lot the loss of the movement of black
mail votes that were secured by Democrats for decades moving
to Donald Trump. Asian votes, the Hispanic voting block that
had been owned by the Democrats now being lost in totality.
(09:49):
But campuses, This is where the Democrats were able to
register young people, harvest their votes and swing using campuses
swing districts of swing states. And it wasn't there this time.
And a lot of people point to the woke too far,
(10:10):
a lot of people point to COVID, A lot of
people point to the loss of the dream of home ownership,
and of course the answer is all of the above.
So they were a big part of the push for
Donald Trump over the finish line, and they're feeling more optimistic.
(10:31):
Could be as simple as their guy one. And that number,
by the way, twenty seven percent is still small, but
it decreases as the respondents get older. The share of
respondents who say their situation is better today includes twenty
four percent of thirty to forty four year olds, twenty
one percent of forty five to sixty four year olds,
(10:51):
and eighteen percent of sixty five and older, and every
generation respondents are more likely to say their personal financial
situation is worse today than better. It was the most
amazing speech I ever sat through. I mean, Paul Harvey literally,
it was a Salvation Army fundraiser. In an hour and
(11:13):
ten minutes convinced me tomorrow is always better than today.
The current generation always hands off a better life to
the next generation. I didn't enter that speech believing it.
I left that speech wanting to believe it, and here
(11:34):
I am living it. So those who say things are
worse now you're gonna notice these numbers are bigger. So
nobody's being optimistic. But believe it or not, the younger
are more optimistic. Those who say things are worse twenty
nine percent eighteen to twenty nine, thirty five percent thirty
to forty four, thirty six percent forty five to sixty four,
(11:56):
thirty two percent sixty five and older. I mean that's
fixed income retirement. So it is kind of on one
side surprising because everything I hear would be young people
are very concerned about today and even more concerned about tomorrow.
(12:18):
But the numbers show actually not that anybody's optimistic, and
very high numbers that the younger they are. And maybe
that's just because they got more field to play with,
they got more time. You know, that's a big crunch
you feel. I mean, I I don't know the exact
age of everybody listening, but you know, for you younger, for
(12:41):
younger people out there in different segments, you got a
little less anxiety because you have more time. When you
hit fifty and you look down and you realize and
if you haven't saved let's say in a four oh
one k or an ira, I mean you're staring and
your house isn't paid off, things start. Hey, listen. It
(13:02):
gets really bad when you get a new dog and
you question whether or not you're going to outlive the dog.
All right, that's that's the ultimate pressure. But the way
I'm feeling today, I'm betting on the dog. No. But
when you get to you know, you're fifty three years
old and your house is twenty seven more years to go,
(13:22):
and you're in an industry that is going through great chain,
the anxiety goes high and that can affect these numbers. Red,
what was your takeaway that the younger they're coming off
their president that they elected, so they have optimism there
and they got more field to play with, so they
have less anxiety. I mean, I think that would be
None of these numbers are good. That's what I thought
(13:44):
to you. Yeah, especially the thirty six percent. Is that
that retirement age that's where you really start feeling I mean,
forty five to sixty four, that's when you realize you
either did it or you didn't, and you're in hill
Mary mode at that point. So I think, you know,
realism jumps in. I mean, if I could live everything
(14:05):
over again, oh my gosh, the things I would do different.
I try to instill that my kids, but they're on
the same course I was. They're probably going to have
to make those same mistakes. And then there's the things
that happen out of your control. I mean, we had
the Great Stock market Crash, we had the Great Recession,
we had COVID. Certain things that can happen in the
industry that you're in or in your personal career that
(14:26):
forces you. I mean, I can look back at a
four oh one Ki cashed in nineteen ninety or No.
Two thousand and one. I'm thinking that would have been
a million dollars I left to come Amazon Stock were
all of that. But you know, and so nobody's really optimistic.
But the least pessimistic and the most optimistic is the younger,
(14:48):
not the older. I don't know if that surprised you,
but it surprised me, and that you'd pull a plenty
for this Friday, April of twenty five.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I think that's my issue. They say I had the
Benjamin Button effect. I'm thinking, like my young thirty and
twenty five year olds who have watched us as blue
collar workers become debt free on two homes, and they say,
this dream has to be possible. They have both improved
their lives under Trump and they believe in this.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I guess that's why I'm the fanatic that I am. Well, yeah,
I think, I mean, that's what I would take away
from this, not since now I know that there's a
generation that felt this way about Barack Obama, so I'll
probably include him. But I can tell you I was
coming out of high school and beginning my life with
Ronald Reagan as president, and that was high and that's
(15:46):
kind of how these young people feel about Donald Trump. Now.
The problem we made during the Clinton administration was that
was when we became this generation that would look at
what our parents had and say, well, that's what I want,
and I wanted immediately forgetting that they got their over
decades making smart decisions. Then we go off making dumb
decisions trying to get there immediately. That was a big
(16:08):
generational greed mistake. But then I think the last twenty
years people have got more sensible about living within their
means and kind of piecing things back together again. For me,
it's simple, I tithe, I save twenty percent towards retirement,
I save ten percent towards an emergency fund, and the
rest is mine to prioritize on my family and housing
(16:31):
and security. But the younger are a little more optimistic
than the older.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Hey, y'all, it's Mike McCann, the announcer guy done in
New Orleans and my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Juneo.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern great stations like six'
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akron's News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now
(17:15):
enjoy the podcast. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal and
we love your voice. It makes our name come true.
Let's start with Roger real quick, and i want to
show you where I'm going with this.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I'm pretty financially secure, but mostly because I'm pretty modest
my expenditures, and I've come to the point in my
life I'm sixty five waiting that extra one year ten
months that they bait and switched me on the Social
Security But I've come to realization I have enough money
for the rest of my life, but time is much
more important to me than the money.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well that's everything, right. Nobody on their deathbed says I
wish I would have bought that bigger house. I wish
we would have, you know, bought that boat. Time is
the one thing that we a can't control. Be there
can never be enough of you know. I try not.
(18:09):
I try so hard not to connect dots because I
love when you guys connect them on your own, but
because it's a fascinating study. All right. So in the end,
nobody's really optimistic about tomorrow. But ironically, when it comes
to finances, young people are a little bit more optimistic,
and the older you get, the less optimistic. And so
that got us thinking, well, why would that be? Could
(18:33):
be because they just elected their president, so they got
hope in Donald Trump. And we do this every New
Year's and we talk about happy New Year, like it
can just happen. No, if you eat the way you
ate this year next year, drink the way you drink
this year next year, spend your time the same way
you did next year. This year, if you don't change,
(18:57):
I suspect it'll be the same kind of year as
the year before, with a few little circumstances and happenstances
mixed in because the clock and the calendar changes. But
you didn't, I mean, lost in all that research, you're
asking people by age group, how do you feel financially
(19:17):
optimistic or pessimistic? What's lost in all that them? We
start talking about everything but each individual and the choices
they make, because by nature we're never satisfied. The many
get one boat, you want the better boat. Many get
one car, you want the better car. The many you
(19:38):
get one house, you want the better house. I always
told this story I was about and this is not
to brag. In fact, it's just to impress upon you
the point and it ought to unimpress you on me.
I'll show you the lack of character I am. But
I'm like thirty years old, and I'm making a significant
amount of money and I'm just spending and spending. I
(20:00):
did a remote at a car dealership and I made
one hundred dollars an hour at that remote, and I
spent seventy two thousand dollars on a new car. How
dumb is that, you know? And you know fifteen hundred
dollars payment? Oh ok, I got that. What I'd give
to go back and relive all that you know there was.
If I don't like the view of my financial position today,
don't I have to start looking at me and all
(20:21):
the decisions I made. So I'm sitting with my friend
Joe Vig and his restaurant and I get an epiphany
at thirty three years old, Joey, what my key? I
don't have to make more money. I just need to
spend less. And that was like a you know, angels
started but yeah, lost in all of that, isn't it amazing?
(20:46):
How could we possibly know why somebody twenty six years
old said that? And is that twenty six year old
looking at the most I can tell you It's easy
to blame presidents. It's easy to blame market crashes. It's
easy to blame cycles in our industries or a career.
But ultimately, when I look back, there's no one to
blame for where I am more than me, And there's
(21:08):
no one to praise more for where I am than God,
who did it in spite of me. And there's nothing
more important than time. Do not make the scoreboard a salary.
I see young people fretting over what they're going to be.
You know what I tell my kids, I don't care
what you are, and I got news for you. I'm
(21:28):
not sure God does as much as he cares about
who you'll be wherever you are doing it. Wouldn't it
be funny if we all get to the gates and
all we had to do was listen to the song
Don't Worry, Be Happy. It was a choice all along,
(21:49):
but it was a fascinating topic. But yeah, I do
think I would add to it is whoever you're asking
that question, are you satisfied with whether you're at financially
are you optimist? Well, the older you get, the more
you realize clocks running out in your fate is sealed.
You either got a D or an F or a C.
(22:12):
There's not a whole lot of time to catch up.
Or as you're younger, there is time to make change.
This change you probably won't make. But I think that's
the explanation for why the younger we're more optimistic. I
got to get to this story. This is my favorite
story of the day because this is the left providing
a warning to the left, and not just any left axious.
(22:32):
So this is like, you know, the Atlantic axios, These
are the ones that tell the left how to think.
So here's the left warning the left, and the headline
is how democrats headaches are about to get much worse.
Democrats couldn't expose Biden for being too old or even
(22:54):
cognitively impaired, but that blew up in their face. And
now the young progressive so socialists, they're all going after
the over the Hill gang. Progressive groups, emboldened by the
Democrat grassroots extreme dissatisfaction with their party's older establishment, are
preparing to go big in their efforts to unseat Democrat lawmakers.
(23:17):
I've been warning you this is coming. This party is
in a civil war, and it has been for about
twenty two years, but it's coming to a head. And
three times now they would have had one of their
socialists become the nominee for President of the United States.
And three months into the new Congress, more than half
(23:37):
a dozen House Democrats are already facing primary challengers, and
the numbers about the skyrocket. Now we've told you the
story of David Hogg from Parkland, Parkland fame gone activist.
Now he's the DNC vice chair. They put him there
because you know, they're all into social issues while they
(23:57):
created a monster of Fox in the Henhouse. And he's saying, simply,
our party sucks, we have failed, and status quo isn't
going to work. And the biggest problem is we're all
too old. So he's going to do twenty million dollars
to target primary incumbents. By the numbers, at least seven
(24:23):
House Democrats, nearly all north is seventy years old. Some
of them over eighty, are staring down primary challenges from
younger insurgents. In some cases, the age gap is an
eighty five year old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi facing
a thirty nine year old political operative and software engineer.
(24:49):
I mean, think about it. We always joke, what's what
these people? They think they're the only ones that can represent,
the only ones that can serve. I mean, how big
does your ego have to be? Nobody ever goes home
to be a grandparent, enjoy the remainder of their life.
I mean, they had the best job in the world,
They've got the best pension fund you could ever ask for.
(25:10):
I mean, two terms in the Senate and your set,
and they still don't go home. They stay till the
toe tag. But think about it heading into the twenty
twenty six midterm elections, and I think we got to
get into twenty twenty eight for Schumer. But the bottom
line is Nancy Pelosi and Chucky Schumer both look like
(25:31):
odds on favorites to get unseated. They're going to be
thrown out before they can die and get the toe tag.
That was unheard of or unthinkable a year or two ago.
And I'm not even getting into other representatives in California, Indiana, Michigan,
New Jersey. That part would bore you with details. The
bottom line is the socialist Democrats first goal is to
(25:53):
take over the Democrat Party, then get rid of the
electoral College, then dismantle the Republic for their elitist, intellectual
mob rule. And they're not looking at weak Republicans. They're
looking at establishment Democrats. And now they've demonized using the
(26:14):
Joe Biden hoax, they're demonizing anybody old. But here's how
this plays out, or here's an interesting way this could
play out. With twenty millions of Hog's money, they can
get rid of these old people in the Democratic primaries
and then have a vulnerable race against a Republican and
lose further control control. They're already losing through representation because
(26:38):
of population shift from blue states to red states. I mean,
by twenty thirty, things statistically look very difficult for the
Democrats this little stunt plays out, and you get rid
of some because remember what everybody always says, Oh, Congress
is the worst. I mean, they're worse than the lawyers.
I don't know who's always the lowest rated profession sales
(27:06):
used car salesman. I mean, nothing's lower than a member
of Congress. They the lowest approval ratings of anything on earth. Ah,
but it's time to go for election. But not mine.
Oh no, mine's great. Oh, all these senators are worthless.
But not Marshall Blackburn. No, she's wonderful. Well, the Democrats
think the same way, but you take out who they're
(27:27):
comfortable with and put in some strange unknown, and they're
already feeling pushed out of their party and thinking their
party really has majored and all the miners and minored
and all the majors. I'm I'm leaning independent anyway. There's
a very significant story about a member in a state
Senate who just that's it. I'm done, I haven't changed,
(27:52):
this party's gone crazy to the left. I'm out of here.
And he didn't run to the Republican Party. He ran
to non affiliated, just like more and more Americans every
single day. Remember my warning by the end of this decade,
and that's only five years away, one or both parties
may be gone. And I got news for you for
(28:15):
the same reason that State senator would tell you it's dysfunctional.
I don't think our founding fathers, if anything, they warned
against this. This two party system is the problem. All
we do is us versus them, shirts versus skins fighting
and get nothing done. We need all free agents. We
need a government of buy and for the people. But
(28:39):
this is a major thing to keep an eye on.
If the DNC doesn't get rid of Hog and he
pulls this off. Between what they're losing and redistricting by
twenty thirty and what they could lose taking out names
people trust heading into general midterm elections, this could be
(29:02):
the straw that breaks the camel back, because why if
the Justice and I said this ten years ago, because
the Justice Democrats, the Socialists, they'll tell you their whole plan.
You can go look them up and you can watch
the videos. You can even watch them explain why they
handpicked AOC A bartender, and how they took out a
ten term Democrat, how our first plan is to take
(29:24):
over the party, then get rid of the Electoria. They'll
tell you everything. None of this is a surprise, and
the party's known it. They've been blocking it in the DNC.
That's how they blocked Bernie and gave you Hillary. That's
how they blocked Bernie and gave you Biden. That's how
they kept Biden along until they were ready to expose
him so they can handle all of his primary electors
(29:47):
straight to Kamala Harris. They have been avoiding letting their
voters make the choices. But as hog as a vice chair,
is he a problem and equation? But what have I
warned from the very beginning if they even succeeded, because
they only represent about the far left twenty six to
(30:09):
thirty percent of the party, if they succeed in taking
over the party, they're like a parasite that kills the host. Well,
you know what happens to the parasite when the host dies,
it dies too. That's why it was so easy for
me to predict this party will not survive the decade. Now,
the Republican Party is going to go one of two ways.
It's not going to survive the decade because it's going
(30:30):
to morph into trump Ism. And trump Ism is really
Reagan Revolution meets Tea Party meets trump Ism. It's America First.
We don't play this establishment party game anymore and we
focus only on priorities. So in essence it's gone too
(30:52):
Or if Donald Trump fails in the next year or two,
how does it go back to being establishment? Because I
got news for you, Maga voters will never go back
to being just Republican voters. You live in a fascinating
time and if you just do your treadmill eat sensibly
(31:13):
stick around a little while, you're not going to leave
your eyes in the next five years. All Right, that's
our journey of discovery. This is your morning show with
Michael del Chrono. If you're just waking up. The big
story going away is the funeral for Pope Francis and
President Trump and Milania's trip to Roman Vatican City to
(31:34):
attend the funeral. Between that the Correspondence dinner, did we
get a seven day warning for Russia? That tera? I mean,
how would you like to be John Decker and running
back and forth trying to cover all this? But I
know from seeing the pictures you were there. Everything from
the Norway Prime Minister to headed to the Pope's funeral.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
You've had a lot to cover, Yeah, a lot to cover.
The President departs the White House in about it half hour,
making that long trip over to Rome, and he'll be
in Rome overnight the funeral. If you wish to tune
in and watch it, I believe it gets underway four
a m. Eastern time, so it means getting up early.
But it's worth it me These types of events do
(32:15):
not happen that often. That's the reason why President Trump.
Other world leaders traveling to Rome, and the President indicating
yesterday that while he's in Rome, he will have some
bilateral meetings with some other world leaders who will be
in Rome for the funeral.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
All right, so that's the funeral. Then there's this conversation,
some triggered by what Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said,
some what the President said, let's give it a week.
Has Russia been given seven days to get on board?
Or we're getting out of the conversation. Where does all
that stand?
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Well, that's what the President indicated yesterday. He said that
in response to questions that were thrown at him both
in the Cabinet room and also in the Oval Office.
I was there when the President was chatting with the press,
he took a number of my questions and he's essentially said, yeah,
a week's time. At one point he said two weeks time,
but he said a week's time. I think there's just
(33:10):
tremendous frustration because it was two months ago that Ukraine
was presented with this thirty day ceasefire offer by the
United States. Ukraine accepted that deal immediately, and Russia has not.
Russia has continued it strikes on civilian areas in Ukraine,
and that's the reason why I think. You hear the
President expressing his frustration with Putin, even putting that out
(33:33):
on social.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Media yesterday, and the frustration is twofold. One things you're
asking for you know you can't get, and two not
saying what you're really holding out for. There's some vagueness,
So I don't I suspect we're probably going to move
forward with another year of war. But I don't see
how Vladimir Putin thinks this is going well or is
winnable and Ukraine is not going to cave either.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Yeah, I agree, you know, I mean, it's Russia against
you Ukraine. You know, it's the one of the largest
militaries in the world against Ukraine, and Ukraine has held
them essentially to a draw over three years. That doesn't
speak highly about Russia's military capabilities. In fact, they've had
to rely on North Korean soldiers to fight their battle
(34:18):
against Ukraine. You know, there comes a point, and Russia
did this when it was.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
The Civil Union.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
There comes a point where you essentially declare victory and
go home. They did that with Afghanistanistan and perhaps will
have to do that with Ukraine as well.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
We only got ten seconds. But how do you do
a White House correspondence dinner without the president? I don't know.
I mean, you got to do it.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
That's what we did all four years of Trump's first term,
and we're gonna do it once again. Not as much
fun without the president there aftercent no.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I expect pictures. John Decker, have a great weekend. We'll
talk again next week. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael ndheld Choo
