Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee,
two Below, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Chornan. I
confuse Savage Garden Sound Garden, but the Rock and Roll
(00:39):
Hall of Fame has its inductees, even though it's happening
in Los Angeles, not Cleveland. I still can't figure that out. No,
I didn't make the prank phone call to shootar Sanders,
though I do have a prank phone call story to
share with you next half hour. Christy Brinkley will be
along later this week. Burns taking over tick Tech Dough
(00:59):
on the Game show Network will visit with her tomorrow.
And we went through our polls of plenty and it
clearly identified on the hill of immigration Donald Trump promised,
got elected, kept his promise. He has secured the border,
the American people behind him, and the deportation and the justice.
When it comes to the economy, not so decisive. Forty
(01:23):
five percent trust the Republicans on the economy, forty three
percent trust the Democrats independence, who may be the difference
maker forty seven percent to thirty percent trust Republicans more
on the economy and immigration, but it's far more driven
by immigration than the economy begs. The question is it
time for President Trump to pivot out of this tariff uncertainty? Now?
(01:49):
It's also incumbent upon Congress to get moving on the
tax cut deals. But the president needs to get the
uncertainty off the table and get some paw positive direction
on the economy that is perceived positive direction because he's
staring down the barrel of a midterm election and a
presidential election two years later. Joining us now is Republican
(02:13):
consultant and your Morning show regular Chris Walker. Chris, I mean,
these numbers are very revealing of what I think we
can all sense and no. When it came to the border,
the President accomplished the mission. The American people are very pleased.
The economy not yet. Yeah, Good morning, Michael, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You know, I think this is obviously a response to
the economy. You know, we have a situation where the
stock market has taken for a decline, it because some
of it's bounced back. You know, we're still ahead of
where we were a year ago, but on the whole
we're down over this month. And you know that that's
a direct relation to what people see as a as
a response.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So, you know, securing the border great, you know, tackling
government waste, road abuse great. You know this the idea
of kind of upending the economy on an idea may.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Not necessarily be the best, you know, strategy.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So you know, our goal here.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Is to kind of President Trump's goal is.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
To fix the economy and get the country going in
the right direction.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
We had Angela as a listener. I really respect who
calls in a lot, and she made you know the point, Well,
the president's doing something significant here as a statesman, and
he doesn't face another election. Well, the reality is politically
trump Ism does. And I think the Republican Party is
some kind of a morph between Reagan Revolution Tea Party
and trump Ism and the midterm election will be the
(03:37):
first say. The twenty twenty eight open presidential election will
be the next say. And there is a lot on
the line, and at some point, whatever his long term
goals were, he may have achieved some of them short
term and it's time to pivot out because you got
to have about a year for everything to take effect.
Now that's on the president's side. The other side is Congress.
(03:59):
Why can't they get these text cuts done?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Miss Michael, I mean, Congress is just in my a
right now, and I get the sentence role right now,
it's just trying to prove the president's nominees. And they're
doing a pretty good job at that overall. But you know,
it seems that the House is just stuck in some
you know, kind of mud that they that they can't move.
It's crazy to watch, you know. I hope we can
(04:24):
see some some momentum. I mean, the president can do
a bunch of executive orders, but if it's codified and
law through Congress is really not going to matter. So,
you know, from our perspective, Congress really needs to get
backed together Speaker Johnson and his team in the House,
you know, and good there's a very small majority, But
Democrats have worked with very small majorities have gotten a
lot done on their side, And I think there's there's
(04:44):
excuses here on the level of, well, you know, we
have a small majority. But this is something people are
really up, you know, upset about. We've got to get
movement and action on a lot of these issues because
we're running out of time in terms of what the
political window is possible to get things done.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So what would the market do if Donald Trump pivots
out of these tariffs, ends all that uncertainty and they
get the tax cuts. What do you think the market does?
What do you think simmering again on the stone that
does the economy? Yeah, of course it would.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It would well look, I mean look and the markets
want stability, right, I mean, and that's something that I
think we haven't seen over the last month. Whether it's
you know, kind of the news and you go after
Pete Hegseth or any of these other things. There's there's
a there's a level of discord that seems to be
brewing out.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Of Washington, and I think that's an you know, an.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Outset of a of a strategy that the president is
putting in the Act, which is actually not a bad
one in terms of just continuously focusing on offense and
pushing out.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Executive orders and constantly talking.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
About various issues. There's a there's a smartness to it.
But I think it's also you know, upending the market
in a sense where where people are looking for stability
and calm when that's anything but what President Trump is
known to do. And I think he's a It's why
he was elected. I mean, he ran on a lot
of these things, and I think that's something that the
markets need to adjust in rather than just continue to
respond to you.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And this is specifically a political lens. I mean from
a political lens standpoint, if you've cut some new better deals, great,
take credit for him, pivot out of all this long
term uncertainty and move on dot org and then get
these tax cuts down because it's going to take about
a year for all of this to simmer and produce results,
(06:28):
and that timing would be perfect right before the midterm elections.
Then you have a presidency and a movement in America
that has fixed the border, secured it brought justice and
enforcement and gotten a lot of this criminal element out
of our country, and improved the economy, and then I
think there's a third piece, and it either has to
be the NUK talks with Iran or whatever the future
(06:51):
is for the Middle East, not that I think there's
ever going to be a secure future there until the
Bible plays itself out or a rush out and solution.
I think you got to add one foreign policy victory
to that to set up the twenty twenty eight campaign.
But it looks like a pretty clear trajectory politically anyway.
(07:13):
The only thing that could get in the way of
that is if the President is dead set on and
we know this has been a hot button issue for
him really taking this second term to fix once and
for all this terrorists, especially if his vision is to
set up an elimination of the income tax. But I
can't imagine that's the play or America is ready for
that play politically anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh, I mean I hope they are. I mean, if
the result out of this is an elimination of income tax,
that would be one of the single greatest growth you know,
stimuli in the history. You know, we talked about stimulus
in Washington as just a goodie bill that always gets passing.
Crazy to really stimulate the economy, grow American get GDP where.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It needs to be.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
An elimination of the income tax a great way to
do it. I hope there's an appetite for it. You know,
we'll see. If the Paris are part of a revenue
replacement strategy to get rid of the income tax, that's good.
But I think something you got to kind of move
ahead with that first, and so far we haven't seen
Congress really kind of push in that direction. But I
think with both the House and the Senate and a
complete you know, kind of advocation of leadership from the
(08:17):
Democrats right now, the time is how and you know,
if we can, if we could do that, that would
be great. In terms of foreign policy, the president is
at least engaged. I mean, I think everyone saw the
picture of him, you know, at the Vatican over the
weekend meeting with Zelensky. I mean, this is a president
who is who is interested and engaged in finding peace
in the Ukraine Russian conflict. And I think that's something
(08:39):
that was missing in President Biden over four years. So
irrespective of that, if the presidence hard is in the
right place, his team is in the right place, and
it's a matter of getting these global leaders around, you know,
a peace strategy. We're finding that hard to do, but
that's that's something where the president is at least pushing
in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, if Putin is playing games and he plans to
fight another year, well you just make it a miserable
year for him. And I actually thought that that visual
of Donald Trump sitting in a chair at the Vatican
with Zelensky is right up there with his fist in
the air and blood coming down his face after the
assassination attempt. That's going to be an iconic picture. And
(09:17):
I do think this president has tremendous foreign policy instincts
and credibility, and he'll get one of those three or
two of those three victories. Prior to a twenty twenty
eight presidential campaign. Are visiting with Chris Walker, republican consultant
and your morning show regular. We had an interesting conversation
about AOC and I think probably the best way to
(09:38):
describe it is picture America during a civil war, because
the Democrat Party is in the midst of its own
civil war justice socialist Democrats against the establishment Democrats, which
are really now taken over by progressives. Even though the
socialists will call themselves socialists and they calling themselves progressive.
I don't know what that's at right now. I would
(10:00):
I think twenty six to thirty three percent, depending on
who it is. But Bernie Sanders has passed the torch.
If the Democrats do what they did in twenty sixteen
and twenty twenty and meddle with their voters and then
they lose, I think that goes above fifty percent, So
there's a socialist victory within the party. If AOC should
(10:20):
get the nomination, well that's the parasite defeating the host,
and when the host dies, the parasite dies. It looks
like a lose, lose future for the Democrats. But how
obvious is it that a Bernie Sanders has passed the
torch to AOC. She suddenly raised ten million dollars. That's
either a run for the United States senat or president?
(10:40):
Is it president? And should Republicans fear her?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, you know, we'll see what she ends up doing.
I could see a Senate race before presidential race. I'm
not sure you know that a house to presidential race
makes sense for her. But she's certainly a center bearer
for the Democrats right now, and I think that is
a problem for the Democrats have to solve. When you're
when you're outright out you know, langishly speaking about socialism,
(11:06):
that's more a popular position to be and except with
the minority of voters, but that's you know, the goal
of elections is to win a majority of the vote,
and that's not.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Something AOC is able to do.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So you could, you can represent a very small, you know,
district in New York and be allowed voice in Congress,
and good good for her. But on a national level,
we know that their ideas are not are not sound,
and that's where the policy comes into place. So good
policy is good politics. I still believe in that. I'm
much observative first, and so from perspective of what she's offering,
I don't think it's positive for where the voters are.
(11:38):
I mean, you know, I.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Disagree because I disagree because there's close to half of
that party that wants to go further left and wants
to fight harder and dirtier and to the death, and
she who else represents that on the national well.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The other side to go well, I mean, look, you
and I both know that national elections are one in
the middle and the further left that Democrats go. The
more middle will look at that and go, that's not
where I am. I mean, goodness, look at Silicon Valley,
look at you know, a lot of the business leaders
who are calctrined from President Biden's fort for years, and
(12:15):
he was considered a manorate back then. Imagine the left
leaning business leaders who are kind of socially moderate or
socially left even, but are still trying to run a
business looking at somebody like AOC and saying, hey, we
want to take all your money and you know, apply
it to social norms. That's not something that any left
leaning business leader will do. So I think from a
standpoint of politics and the AOC, you know, kind of
(12:38):
standard bearers catastrophic for the Democrats, and I would welcome
it as a Republican, but you know, I think better.
You know, look, Gavin Newsom and others are seeing riding
on the wall and are moving to the middle because
they have to. Now. Gavin Newson's been a standard bearer
for left leaning governance in a state that's kind of
gone underwater in a lot of ways. But at least
he's trying to write the ship there, at least from
(12:59):
a standpoint, there's a little way to go, but if
they go at the AOC route, I mean that, you know,
we're talking about putting states like you know, Nevada and
New Mexico into more purple territories than the blue they are.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Right now, who was the first to fly across Atlantic
emil She was the second or third, but remembered because
she was the first female the first, right was Now
I'm going blank because you said Amelia Earhart Limburg. All right,
(13:34):
so there's a power, yes, but I botched this analogy.
There's a power in being first, all right. So right now,
if you picture the Democrat Party like the Civil War,
the North has no leader and has no message. They're
kind of playing with Romney Manuel and a senator in
Michigan to get the tones out there. We got to
move to the center. We got to move back towards
the American people. We got to stop with this crazy
(13:56):
left policy that the American people have rejected. But it's
not getting a lot of ground. In twenty sixteen, Bernie
had the ground swell, he had the grassroots, and he
had the big lead. He would have got the nomination
if the DNC didn't meddle twenty twenty, same thing for
Bernie and they meddled with Biden, and then in twenty
twenty four they held on to Biden until they exposed
him for being seen out. But they waited till after
(14:18):
all the primary votes were in so they could hand
his delegates to Kamala Harris and not open things up.
So the North has no leader, has no message. The
South has its early leader. Torch has been passed to
AOC as has ten million dollars and whether you think
an next bartender can win, she's going to have the
early lead because she's going to be first. So the
(14:40):
South has made its decision on message, we fight, we
go further left, and on messenger it's AOC. That's why
the party has and doesn't have a leader, has and
doesn't have a message, but the South has the early message.
I see it playing out very much like twenty six,
twenty twenty and twenty twenty four if they don't get
their back together on the more establishment side, and either
(15:02):
way it creates a civil war and a divided party.
And I think either way it plays out, this party
has a has a really tough hurdle to be alive
at the end of the decade, literally survive by the
end of the decade. Now your party, it becomes in
your party posts Trump. You know, how does Trump is live?
Post Trump?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Up?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
There will there will be a huge fight for twenty eight.
But you know, a party that embraces MS thirteen gang
members more than they do their own citizenry as a
party that doesn't have a long shelf life, and so
Democrats are going to have to figure out. Racing to
the left on that not a good long term political sociality.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
From your Gavin Newsom is their best bearer.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, from your lips to God's ears on that one.
All right, Chris Walker, As always, we'll talk every Monday

You don't have to wait on hold anymore. Press it,

to ask a question, make a comment, and take your
place at this morning's kitchen table. You know, there were
a lot of great draft stories. In all of them,
(16:52):
there is a built in uncertainty. This guy's this big,
this guy's this fast, this guy tested at the combine
in this way, here's this portfolio of work in college.
And there were a lot of great graft draft picks.
And then somebody analyzes and gives grades and I agree.
I think the New England Patriots and Mike Bravill had
a great draft. I think the Cleveland Browns in the
(17:13):
end had a really good draft. But this draft was
all taken over by the story of Shador Sanders. And
again number one, I never ever delight in the misfortune
of others. I have to tell you I have thought
about this every way you could possibly think about it.
If that wasn't And this goes back to the first
(17:34):
time I saw Peyton Manning. The thrill was I grew
up in New Orleans watching Archie Manning. There is something
a mate, and Archie will tell you this. As a father,
you want your son to be better than you, and
he may in two cases have done that, although I
(17:54):
would argue Archie was as ever bit as good as
both of them. He just played for a terrible team.
But it was a thrill for me to watch Peyton
Manning the first time. Tennessee put him in a game
early and I'm like, oh, my gosh, that's Archie's son,
and it was so thrilling. Now I'm going to watch
the grandson arch Manning. I don't know. For me watching
(18:14):
Shador was oh, that's Deon Sanders' son. I don't know.
If he wasn't Deon Sanders soon, if I would have
even noticed him Orf, he would have stood out as
like when I was watching the kid at Ohio State.
I looked at my son watching a game and I said,
now that's an NFL quarterback, the size, the poise, the arm,
the accuracy, the quick release. I was seeing things I
(18:35):
don't know that I ever saw that was Shadoor. So
I don't know if he was overrated and expected to
go hyped early because of his last name. I don't
know if he wasn't selected because of his father. And
if a coach selects, do I really want to back
up quarterback? That's going to bring Deon Sanders in all
this attention and then the second guessing if he's not
(18:56):
getting the start. Now I love Dion. I loved what
he did on the field and the way he's coaching.
And I don't know why the prediction was that Shador
Sanders would go in the first round and early, maybe
even to the Saints and the ninth pick, and he
felt the way he did. But it became a focal point,
(19:16):
and then in the dysfunction we have of social media,
that becomes a story. And as we said in the
Platinum Hour, I don't think racism is a card here
to play, not when the number one overall pick was
cam Ward, a black quarterback. Now the other part of
(19:37):
the story becomes and we do get some answers how
did jeff olbricks son get this phone number? Well, apparently
it was honest. I don't know why a defensive coordinator
had that number, but he did, that's my question. And
the Sun got it. And you know, that's your worst nightmare,
right that your son embarrasses you. And it's not like
it was a little kid. He was a twenty one
year old man who has now since apologized. But it
(19:57):
was just an unfortunate, despicable prank phone call. And I
don't know that the dad should have any consequences for
what his son did. I bet that son got some consequences,
but you know, that's just the way it all plays out.
And there were so many other great stories in the draft.
It's a shame it's come to this. This is all
(20:18):
anybody talked about, but such as the social dilemma in
America today. Although it did remind me, and I promised
to do a little childhood story. So I think I
was in fifth grade and my brother was in sixth
or seventh grade. I was in fifth grade, he was
in seventh grade, and I remember we got home from
(20:38):
school and my dad's car was in the driveway. Dad
was really ever home. Well, what's dad doing here? And
we walk in and my dad goes ah, And my
dad had a voice a Chicago morning radio. He like
had EQ even off the air. He was he had
a compressed eq wet voice off the air with a gig.
(21:00):
I want both of you to go up in your bedroom.
I'll be up there in a minute. And I'm like, WHOA,
what happened? So my brother and I shared a room.
He's sitting on his bed. I'm sitting on my bed.
I'm like, oh, and everything's racing through my head. So
my dad comes in, guess what happened to me at
work today? And actually I always answered what I had?
(21:26):
The police show up? The police, Yeah, police, my radio station.
You guys got anything to say? Now, I have to
tell you that about four days earlier, we had a
PGA pro that lived just around the corner from us,
and they left their garage door open. And when I
tell you, it looked like a golf store before there
(21:47):
were golf stores. One wall was all golf balls, one
wall was all clubs. One the wall was all accessories.
And I'll tell you I stole Elmer's glue when I
was five years old, and then I did leave with
a twelve pack of golf balls that day. So, feeling
guilty and in sin before Christ, I turned to my
(22:09):
earthly father and I say, Dad, I can explain.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
First of all, mister Nelson is a professional golfer. He
gets all this stuff for free. And they left the garage.
I don't know what you're talking about golf balls. Somebody
was making prank phone calls right away. This is why
I tell everyone you confess to nothing until the charges
are made. Apparently my brother, who loved to make prank
(22:38):
phone calls and was actually so good sometimes people appreciated
the call, was making prank phone calls to the president
of my dad's bank. Oh no, kid, Yeah, didn't work
out very well. I don't think about golf balls. But
somebody were making prank phone call and then my brother
proceeded to get a beating and then I got a
shoot at the rear end for confessing my sin. But
(23:00):
I don't know how this all played out at the
Obrick home, but I can tell you that's extraordinarily embarrassing
for a defensive coordinator of the Falcons to have a
twenty one year old son. I still don't know what
Chakur Sanders' phone numbers. But all of this is just
such a shame because this is a you know, only
the best of the best get to start in high school,
(23:21):
one of the best of the best of all high
schools even get to play in D one football alone,
become a star let alone, become a star. I mean, everybody,
get a hold of yourself. He's a good quarterback. Do
I think he's going to be a great starting quarterback
in the NFL? I do not know, And I don't
think anybody knows. He wouldn't have been high on my list.
How did he get so high on the pre draft list?
I don't know. How did he fall so low? I
(23:42):
don't know? And then all this nonsense in between is
just so unfortunate. But you know, when you get what
the NFL has done with the draft like no other sport.
Nobody follows the NHL draft like this. Nobody follows the
Major League Baseball draft, probably because in both cases there's
a long road to get to the bigs. Whereas a
(24:03):
rookie can make an impact in the NFL immediately, and
a couple of really good draft picks can begin to
build a franchise. But I mean just staring at Green
Bay with two hundred and fifty thousand people just gathered
for this draft and then it came to this. What
a shame it all turned out to be. So there
(24:24):
was that drama. Meanwhile, there's the picking of the next pope.
Usually there's a nine. I'm almost I'm not a Catholic,
so I'm just going by research, right, But I believe
there's nine days a morning following the funeral, and I
think nine days following the funeral is roughly May seventh,
So the conclave will begin. There'll be a Dean of
the conclave who will preside over it. Not all cardinals
(24:45):
can vote. You have to be under eighty to vote,
and we think there's some one hundred and twenty three
that will vote eighty I'm going off of memory, but
I have a good memory, eighty percent of which are
appointed cardinals by Francis. It's very very christ Like in spirit,
maybe not so christ like in doctrine, and progressive, so
(25:08):
much like the movie, this is a very interesting conclave.
The historic pendulum is you go from a conservative pope
to a more open pope and then back to a
conservative pope. But looking at this room of cardinals in
this conclave, the proclivity for them to pick a progressive
is pretty high, and like the movie That's the Battle,
there'll be those making the case this church needs to
(25:31):
return doctrinely sound and then there's gonna be a big movement.
We need to continue in the legacy and direction of Francis.
So it's going to be very interesting to see how
this plays out, and you will see it play out
in the selection. The odds on favorite heading into the
conclave is Cardinal Petro Prone. He is from Rome, and
(25:53):
he is considered the front runner and the obvious choice,
which probably makes him obviously not the choice. I'm telling
you the more I study this, Para Battista Pizza ball Look,
who is another Italian. He is the Archbishop of Jerusalem
(26:16):
and with so much conflict in the Gaza, and his
star seems to be really rising, rising in such a way.
Although I think he My pick was Matteo Zuppi, who
is the Archbishop of Bologna, another Italian, and both of them,
I think Zupe is sixty nine. I think Pizza Bala,
(26:37):
I know that name is the youngest. He's only sixty
and I don't know you know, again, there's there's a
discomfort in going with a young pope because depending on
how they turn out. You know, there's a reason why
they pick oh popes, either way good or bad, they're
not around long. So that's what made me kind of
think Zuopi was more of the pick. And then the one.
You know, people we talk about they've never had, I mean,
(26:58):
a pope of a Philippe origin, that would be a
first and he's sixty seven years old. Tagle is considered
a high consideration. A pope of color is a real possibility.
We've got one from Africa that is very highly seen.
But really, get the faces, get the ages, get all
that out of your mind. What really is going to
happen to this conclave is a choice is going to
(27:20):
be made. Do we continue in the spirit and humility
of Francis and in a progressive doctrine, an inclusive doctrine,
or do we continue with his spirit but return more
to a conservative traditional doctrine. And there's two billion, no
is it two billion two billion Catholics worldwide? Or is
(27:43):
it four billion, sixty seventy million in America? A lot,
a lot on the line here for the Catholic Church.
The Conclave has been announced. It will begin May the
seventh and may. I say it's got a twisting, a
twisted ending that Roy O'Neil hates and a lot of
people were discomforted with. Do you want to know how
Conclave works? The movie Conclave, which I don't think is
(28:03):
free because the minute the Pope died, now they're charging.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
No, it was a last night on Amazon Prime. I
could watch it. It's included with my Prime membership. How
about that? Well, I was on Prime and it made
me buy it? Well, that was then? That was Maybe
was that prior to the pope? No, it was free
before the Pope died and then they charged after. Oh okay,
And I still have no answer as to why the
(28:27):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is going to be
in Los Angeles instead of about the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in Cleveland. Nobody's been able to explain that
to me. We're going to come back with your top
five stories of the day, Sounds of the day. Can
I just give one real quick? I don't know if
it'll make us late, but this is Pam Bondy to me.
The notion that two illegals turned out to be the
ones that stole a purse with three thousand dollars from
Christy Nome. How did two illegals get into a Washington
(28:49):
restaurant around so around a secret service to steal this purse?
But boy, how's that for irony? It ends up being
two illegals. The other ironic story is a Wisconsin judge
that gets arrested. I mean just completely following narrative, just
completely picking a partisanside and ignoring justice altogether. Here's how
Pambondi described what happened to Wisconsin and to.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Set the stage for you and Sandra, this was truly horrific.
This guy was in court being prosecuted by a state
prosecutor for domestic violence battery. He had beat up two people,
a guy and a girl. Beat the guy a hit
guy thirty times, knocked him to the ground, choked him,
beat up a woman so badly they both had to
(29:31):
go to the hospital. And John, you know, it's so
rare for victims to want to cooperate, they wanted to cooperate.
They were sitting in the courtroom with the state prosecutor.
The judge learns that ice was outside to get the
guy because he had been deported in twenty thirteen, came
back in our country, commits these crimes. Charged with committing
these crimes. Victims in court. Judge finds out. She goes
(29:53):
out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers. She's furious,
visibly shaken, upset them off to talk to the chief judge.
She comes back in the courtroom. Here can believe this,
takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers,
takes them out of private exit and tells him to leave,
while a state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are
(30:16):
sitting in the courtroom.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Wow, you know, I mean, I always say the only
left shocking in life is the truth. This is your
Morning Show with Michael del Chuno. By the way, Denzel
called in one point four billion baptized Catholics in the
world today, estimated between sixty and seventy million in the
United States. All right. Police in Canada now say eleven
(30:38):
people were killed after a car plowed into crowded streets
at a festival in Vancouver. A recreational ferry crash and
Clearwater Florida responsible for one death in multiple injuries. Cardinals
preparing for the conclave that will begin on made. The
seventh Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has new additions
Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker. It's about time Bad Company. Johnny
made a record, went straight up to number one. City Lauper.
(31:01):
I don't know if that's rock and roll, but she's
on the list. Birthdays today, by the way, a shout
out to the Blues. What a huge win five to
one over the Winnipeg Jets. That series out tied at
two games. Apiece birthdays Jayleno was seventy five and Margaret
is eighty four. Anthony Volpi of the Yankees, and yes,
I'm just shamefully doing this because I'm a Yankee fan
twenty four and the Property Brothers who I once offended,
Drew and Jonathan Scott forty seven years old. If at
(31:24):
your birthday, Happy birthday, all right. The US says progress
is being made in the nuke talks in Iran, so
much so the talks are going to continue. National correspondent
Roory O'Neill is here with their final story. Good morning, Rory, Yeah,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
But the two sides say they're making progress, but remain
very far apart. The US and Iran held their third
round of indirect talks this weekend, mediated by Gulf state Oman. Look,
they're trying to get some deal that stops Iran from
developing its own nuclear weapon. Israel also wants to make
sure that Iran cannot develop a ballistic missile of any kind.
(31:58):
The US is trying to Iran from funding terrorist organizations
across the Middle East and might put sanctions on you know,
might decide to lift sanctions if Iran comply. So a
lot of different arguing points, but a lot more technical
talk I had this week.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So there is nothing more predictable than Iran being a problem,
let alone having a nuclear weapon. That comes down to
having the enriched centrifuges and uranium as well as the
delivery systems. We've played this game with North Korea. They
don't have any credibility or track record to have any
trustworthiness in the past. The biggest mistake is acting like
(32:37):
they have this level of enriched uranium in centrifugeas for
the purposes of electricity. I hope we're not going to
fall for that old chestnut again.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Well, there's been some talk that all right, will supply
you with your uranium for your power generation.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And then you can use it there, but you can't
use it printing en right, Yeah, and again is this
honest dishonest play? But I guess the good news Rory
is they're talking. Right. That's better than what's going on
with Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Right.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
And look at you know, judging by some recent reporting
President Trump, what's the way they said that he waved
off Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. The President disagreed, said, uh,
he didn't wave them off exactly, but said, I'm not
in a rush to do it because I think that
Iran has a chance to have a great country and
(33:27):
to live happily without death.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Is the president. There is one thing that Donald Trump
that the President Trump, not Donald Trump. That's disrespectful. But
President Trump is doing that I do like, and that
is talking to the Iranian people more than to the
Iranian leadership. That's a smart move too. Great reporting is
always Rory will talk again, Manyan, Now we're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael nheld
(33:50):
Choo
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee,
two Below, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Chornan. I
confuse Savage Garden Sound Garden, but the Rock and Roll
(00:39):
Hall of Fame has its inductees, even though it's happening
in Los Angeles, not Cleveland. I still can't figure that out. No,
I didn't make the prank phone call to shootar Sanders,
though I do have a prank phone call story to
share with you next half hour. Christy Brinkley will be
along later this week. Burns taking over tick Tech Dough
(00:59):
on the Game show Network will visit with her tomorrow.
And we went through our polls of plenty and it
clearly identified on the hill of immigration Donald Trump promised,
got elected, kept his promise. He has secured the border,
the American people behind him, and the deportation and the justice.
When it comes to the economy, not so decisive. Forty
(01:23):
five percent trust the Republicans on the economy, forty three
percent trust the Democrats independence, who may be the difference
maker forty seven percent to thirty percent trust Republicans more
on the economy and immigration, but it's far more driven
by immigration than the economy begs. The question is it
time for President Trump to pivot out of this tariff uncertainty? Now?
(01:49):
It's also incumbent upon Congress to get moving on the
tax cut deals. But the president needs to get the
uncertainty off the table and get some paw positive direction
on the economy that is perceived positive direction because he's
staring down the barrel of a midterm election and a
presidential election two years later. Joining us now is Republican
(02:13):
consultant and your Morning show regular Chris Walker. Chris, I mean,
these numbers are very revealing of what I think we
can all sense and no. When it came to the border,
the President accomplished the mission. The American people are very pleased.
The economy not yet. Yeah, Good morning, Michael, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You know, I think this is obviously a response to
the economy. You know, we have a situation where the
stock market has taken for a decline, it because some
of it's bounced back. You know, we're still ahead of
where we were a year ago, but on the whole
we're down over this month. And you know that that's
a direct relation to what people see as a as
a response.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So, you know, securing the border great, you know, tackling
government waste, road abuse great. You know this the idea
of kind of upending the economy on an idea may.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Not necessarily be the best, you know, strategy.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So you know, our goal here.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Is to kind of President Trump's goal is.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
To fix the economy and get the country going in
the right direction.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
We had Angela as a listener. I really respect who
calls in a lot, and she made you know the point, Well,
the president's doing something significant here as a statesman, and
he doesn't face another election. Well, the reality is politically
trump Ism does. And I think the Republican Party is
some kind of a morph between Reagan Revolution Tea Party
and trump Ism and the midterm election will be the
(03:37):
first say. The twenty twenty eight open presidential election will
be the next say. And there is a lot on
the line, and at some point, whatever his long term
goals were, he may have achieved some of them short
term and it's time to pivot out because you got
to have about a year for everything to take effect.
Now that's on the president's side. The other side is Congress.
(03:59):
Why can't they get these text cuts done?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Miss Michael, I mean, Congress is just in my a
right now, and I get the sentence role right now,
it's just trying to prove the president's nominees. And they're
doing a pretty good job at that overall. But you know,
it seems that the House is just stuck in some
you know, kind of mud that they that they can't move.
It's crazy to watch, you know. I hope we can
(04:24):
see some some momentum. I mean, the president can do
a bunch of executive orders, but if it's codified and
law through Congress is really not going to matter. So,
you know, from our perspective, Congress really needs to get
backed together Speaker Johnson and his team in the House,
you know, and good there's a very small majority, But
Democrats have worked with very small majorities have gotten a
lot done on their side, And I think there's there's
(04:44):
excuses here on the level of, well, you know, we
have a small majority. But this is something people are
really up, you know, upset about. We've got to get
movement and action on a lot of these issues because
we're running out of time in terms of what the
political window is possible to get things done.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So what would the market do if Donald Trump pivots
out of these tariffs, ends all that uncertainty and they
get the tax cuts. What do you think the market does?
What do you think simmering again on the stone that
does the economy? Yeah, of course it would.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It would well look, I mean look and the markets
want stability, right, I mean, and that's something that I
think we haven't seen over the last month. Whether it's
you know, kind of the news and you go after
Pete Hegseth or any of these other things. There's there's
a there's a level of discord that seems to be
brewing out.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Of Washington, and I think that's an you know, an.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Outset of a of a strategy that the president is
putting in the Act, which is actually not a bad
one in terms of just continuously focusing on offense and
pushing out.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Executive orders and constantly talking.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
About various issues. There's a there's a smartness to it.
But I think it's also you know, upending the market
in a sense where where people are looking for stability
and calm when that's anything but what President Trump is
known to do. And I think he's a It's why
he was elected. I mean, he ran on a lot
of these things, and I think that's something that the
markets need to adjust in rather than just continue to
respond to you.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And this is specifically a political lens. I mean from
a political lens standpoint, if you've cut some new better deals, great,
take credit for him, pivot out of all this long
term uncertainty and move on dot org and then get
these tax cuts down because it's going to take about
a year for all of this to simmer and produce results,
(06:28):
and that timing would be perfect right before the midterm elections.
Then you have a presidency and a movement in America
that has fixed the border, secured it brought justice and
enforcement and gotten a lot of this criminal element out
of our country, and improved the economy, and then I
think there's a third piece, and it either has to
be the NUK talks with Iran or whatever the future
(06:51):
is for the Middle East, not that I think there's
ever going to be a secure future there until the
Bible plays itself out or a rush out and solution.
I think you got to add one foreign policy victory
to that to set up the twenty twenty eight campaign.
But it looks like a pretty clear trajectory politically anyway.
(07:13):
The only thing that could get in the way of
that is if the President is dead set on and
we know this has been a hot button issue for
him really taking this second term to fix once and
for all this terrorists, especially if his vision is to
set up an elimination of the income tax. But I
can't imagine that's the play or America is ready for
that play politically anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh, I mean I hope they are. I mean, if
the result out of this is an elimination of income tax,
that would be one of the single greatest growth you know,
stimuli in the history. You know, we talked about stimulus
in Washington as just a goodie bill that always gets passing.
Crazy to really stimulate the economy, grow American get GDP where.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It needs to be.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
An elimination of the income tax a great way to
do it. I hope there's an appetite for it. You know,
we'll see. If the Paris are part of a revenue
replacement strategy to get rid of the income tax, that's good.
But I think something you got to kind of move
ahead with that first, and so far we haven't seen
Congress really kind of push in that direction. But I
think with both the House and the Senate and a
complete you know, kind of advocation of leadership from the
(08:17):
Democrats right now, the time is how and you know,
if we can, if we could do that, that would
be great. In terms of foreign policy, the president is
at least engaged. I mean, I think everyone saw the
picture of him, you know, at the Vatican over the
weekend meeting with Zelensky. I mean, this is a president
who is who is interested and engaged in finding peace
in the Ukraine Russian conflict. And I think that's something
(08:39):
that was missing in President Biden over four years. So
irrespective of that, if the presidence hard is in the
right place, his team is in the right place, and
it's a matter of getting these global leaders around, you know,
a peace strategy. We're finding that hard to do, but
that's that's something where the president is at least pushing
in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, if Putin is playing games and he plans to
fight another year, well you just make it a miserable
year for him. And I actually thought that that visual
of Donald Trump sitting in a chair at the Vatican
with Zelensky is right up there with his fist in
the air and blood coming down his face after the
assassination attempt. That's going to be an iconic picture. And
(09:17):
I do think this president has tremendous foreign policy instincts
and credibility, and he'll get one of those three or
two of those three victories. Prior to a twenty twenty
eight presidential campaign. Are visiting with Chris Walker, republican consultant
and your morning show regular. We had an interesting conversation
about AOC and I think probably the best way to
(09:38):
describe it is picture America during a civil war, because
the Democrat Party is in the midst of its own
civil war justice socialist Democrats against the establishment Democrats, which
are really now taken over by progressives. Even though the
socialists will call themselves socialists and they calling themselves progressive.
I don't know what that's at right now. I would
(10:00):
I think twenty six to thirty three percent, depending on
who it is. But Bernie Sanders has passed the torch.
If the Democrats do what they did in twenty sixteen
and twenty twenty and meddle with their voters and then
they lose, I think that goes above fifty percent, So
there's a socialist victory within the party. If AOC should
(10:20):
get the nomination, well that's the parasite defeating the host,
and when the host dies, the parasite dies. It looks
like a lose, lose future for the Democrats. But how
obvious is it that a Bernie Sanders has passed the
torch to AOC. She suddenly raised ten million dollars. That's
either a run for the United States senat or president?
(10:40):
Is it president? And should Republicans fear her?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, you know, we'll see what she ends up doing.
I could see a Senate race before presidential race. I'm
not sure you know that a house to presidential race
makes sense for her. But she's certainly a center bearer
for the Democrats right now, and I think that is
a problem for the Democrats have to solve. When you're
when you're outright out you know, langishly speaking about socialism,
(11:06):
that's more a popular position to be and except with
the minority of voters, but that's you know, the goal
of elections is to win a majority of the vote,
and that's not.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Something AOC is able to do.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So you could, you can represent a very small, you know,
district in New York and be allowed voice in Congress,
and good good for her. But on a national level,
we know that their ideas are not are not sound,
and that's where the policy comes into place. So good
policy is good politics. I still believe in that. I'm
much observative first, and so from perspective of what she's offering,
I don't think it's positive for where the voters are.
(11:38):
I mean, you know, I.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Disagree because I disagree because there's close to half of
that party that wants to go further left and wants
to fight harder and dirtier and to the death, and
she who else represents that on the national well.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The other side to go well, I mean, look, you
and I both know that national elections are one in
the middle and the further left that Democrats go. The
more middle will look at that and go, that's not
where I am. I mean, goodness, look at Silicon Valley,
look at you know, a lot of the business leaders
who are calctrined from President Biden's fort for years, and
(12:15):
he was considered a manorate back then. Imagine the left
leaning business leaders who are kind of socially moderate or
socially left even, but are still trying to run a
business looking at somebody like AOC and saying, hey, we
want to take all your money and you know, apply
it to social norms. That's not something that any left
leaning business leader will do. So I think from a
standpoint of politics and the AOC, you know, kind of
(12:38):
standard bearers catastrophic for the Democrats, and I would welcome
it as a Republican, but you know, I think better.
You know, look, Gavin Newsom and others are seeing riding
on the wall and are moving to the middle because
they have to. Now. Gavin Newson's been a standard bearer
for left leaning governance in a state that's kind of
gone underwater in a lot of ways. But at least
he's trying to write the ship there, at least from
(12:59):
a standpoint, there's a little way to go, but if
they go at the AOC route, I mean that, you know,
we're talking about putting states like you know, Nevada and
New Mexico into more purple territories than the blue they are.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Right now, who was the first to fly across Atlantic
emil She was the second or third, but remembered because
she was the first female the first, right was Now
I'm going blank because you said Amelia Earhart Limburg. All right,
(13:34):
so there's a power, yes, but I botched this analogy.
There's a power in being first, all right. So right now,
if you picture the Democrat Party like the Civil War,
the North has no leader and has no message. They're
kind of playing with Romney Manuel and a senator in
Michigan to get the tones out there. We got to
move to the center. We got to move back towards
the American people. We got to stop with this crazy
(13:56):
left policy that the American people have rejected. But it's
not getting a lot of ground. In twenty sixteen, Bernie
had the ground swell, he had the grassroots, and he
had the big lead. He would have got the nomination
if the DNC didn't meddle twenty twenty, same thing for
Bernie and they meddled with Biden, and then in twenty
twenty four they held on to Biden until they exposed
him for being seen out. But they waited till after
(14:18):
all the primary votes were in so they could hand
his delegates to Kamala Harris and not open things up.
So the North has no leader, has no message. The
South has its early leader. Torch has been passed to
AOC as has ten million dollars and whether you think
an next bartender can win, she's going to have the
early lead because she's going to be first. So the
(14:40):
South has made its decision on message, we fight, we
go further left, and on messenger it's AOC. That's why
the party has and doesn't have a leader, has and
doesn't have a message, but the South has the early message.
I see it playing out very much like twenty six,
twenty twenty and twenty twenty four if they don't get
their back together on the more establishment side, and either
(15:02):
way it creates a civil war and a divided party.
And I think either way it plays out, this party
has a has a really tough hurdle to be alive
at the end of the decade, literally survive by the
end of the decade. Now your party, it becomes in
your party posts Trump. You know, how does Trump is live?
Post Trump?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Up?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
There will there will be a huge fight for twenty eight.
But you know, a party that embraces MS thirteen gang
members more than they do their own citizenry as a
party that doesn't have a long shelf life, and so
Democrats are going to have to figure out. Racing to
the left on that not a good long term political sociality.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
From your Gavin Newsom is their best bearer.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, from your lips to God's ears on that one.
All right, Chris Walker, As always, we'll talk every Monday
or sooner if conditions weren't have a great week, My friend,
This is Josh and Montgomery, Alabama. My morning show is

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Enjoy the podcast. This is your morning show. So many
ways to make your voice her. You can email Michael

the iHeart app, there's a microphone as a talkback button.
You don't have to wait on hold anymore. Press it,
count you down, three, two, one, give you thirty seconds
to ask a question, make a comment, and take your
place at this morning's kitchen table. You know, there were
a lot of great draft stories. In all of them,
(16:52):
there is a built in uncertainty. This guy's this big,
this guy's this fast, this guy tested at the combine
in this way, here's this portfolio of work in college.
And there were a lot of great graft draft picks.
And then somebody analyzes and gives grades and I agree.
I think the New England Patriots and Mike Bravill had
a great draft. I think the Cleveland Browns in the
(17:13):
end had a really good draft. But this draft was
all taken over by the story of Shador Sanders. And
again number one, I never ever delight in the misfortune
of others. I have to tell you I have thought
about this every way you could possibly think about it.
If that wasn't And this goes back to the first
(17:34):
time I saw Peyton Manning. The thrill was I grew
up in New Orleans watching Archie Manning. There is something
a mate, and Archie will tell you this. As a father,
you want your son to be better than you, and
he may in two cases have done that, although I
(17:54):
would argue Archie was as ever bit as good as
both of them. He just played for a terrible team.
But it was a thrill for me to watch Peyton
Manning the first time. Tennessee put him in a game
early and I'm like, oh, my gosh, that's Archie's son,
and it was so thrilling. Now I'm going to watch
the grandson arch Manning. I don't know. For me watching
(18:14):
Shador was oh, that's Deon Sanders' son. I don't know.
If he wasn't Deon Sanders soon, if I would have
even noticed him Orf, he would have stood out as
like when I was watching the kid at Ohio State.
I looked at my son watching a game and I said,
now that's an NFL quarterback, the size, the poise, the arm,
the accuracy, the quick release. I was seeing things I
(18:35):
don't know that I ever saw that was Shadoor. So
I don't know if he was overrated and expected to
go hyped early because of his last name. I don't
know if he wasn't selected because of his father. And
if a coach selects, do I really want to back
up quarterback? That's going to bring Deon Sanders in all
this attention and then the second guessing if he's not
(18:56):
getting the start. Now I love Dion. I loved what
he did on the field and the way he's coaching.
And I don't know why the prediction was that Shador
Sanders would go in the first round and early, maybe
even to the Saints and the ninth pick, and he
felt the way he did. But it became a focal point,
(19:16):
and then in the dysfunction we have of social media,
that becomes a story. And as we said in the
Platinum Hour, I don't think racism is a card here
to play, not when the number one overall pick was
cam Ward, a black quarterback. Now the other part of
(19:37):
the story becomes and we do get some answers how
did jeff olbricks son get this phone number? Well, apparently
it was honest. I don't know why a defensive coordinator
had that number, but he did, that's my question. And
the Sun got it. And you know, that's your worst nightmare,
right that your son embarrasses you. And it's not like
it was a little kid. He was a twenty one
year old man who has now since apologized. But it
(19:57):
was just an unfortunate, despicable prank phone call. And I
don't know that the dad should have any consequences for
what his son did. I bet that son got some consequences,
but you know, that's just the way it all plays out.
And there were so many other great stories in the draft.
It's a shame it's come to this. This is all
(20:18):
anybody talked about, but such as the social dilemma in
America today. Although it did remind me, and I promised
to do a little childhood story. So I think I
was in fifth grade and my brother was in sixth
or seventh grade. I was in fifth grade, he was
in seventh grade, and I remember we got home from
(20:38):
school and my dad's car was in the driveway. Dad
was really ever home. Well, what's dad doing here? And
we walk in and my dad goes ah, And my
dad had a voice a Chicago morning radio. He like
had EQ even off the air. He was he had
a compressed eq wet voice off the air with a gig.
(21:00):
I want both of you to go up in your bedroom.
I'll be up there in a minute. And I'm like, WHOA,
what happened? So my brother and I shared a room.
He's sitting on his bed. I'm sitting on my bed.
I'm like, oh, and everything's racing through my head. So
my dad comes in, guess what happened to me at
work today? And actually I always answered what I had?
(21:26):
The police show up? The police, Yeah, police, my radio station.
You guys got anything to say? Now, I have to
tell you that about four days earlier, we had a
PGA pro that lived just around the corner from us,
and they left their garage door open. And when I
tell you, it looked like a golf store before there
(21:47):
were golf stores. One wall was all golf balls, one
wall was all clubs. One the wall was all accessories.
And I'll tell you I stole Elmer's glue when I
was five years old, and then I did leave with
a twelve pack of golf balls that day. So, feeling
guilty and in sin before Christ, I turned to my
(22:09):
earthly father and I say, Dad, I can explain.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
First of all, mister Nelson is a professional golfer. He
gets all this stuff for free. And they left the garage.
I don't know what you're talking about golf balls. Somebody
was making prank phone calls right away. This is why
I tell everyone you confess to nothing until the charges
are made. Apparently my brother, who loved to make prank
(22:38):
phone calls and was actually so good sometimes people appreciated
the call, was making prank phone calls to the president
of my dad's bank. Oh no, kid, Yeah, didn't work
out very well. I don't think about golf balls. But
somebody were making prank phone call and then my brother
proceeded to get a beating and then I got a
shoot at the rear end for confessing my sin. But
(23:00):
I don't know how this all played out at the
Obrick home, but I can tell you that's extraordinarily embarrassing
for a defensive coordinator of the Falcons to have a
twenty one year old son. I still don't know what
Chakur Sanders' phone numbers. But all of this is just
such a shame because this is a you know, only
the best of the best get to start in high school,
(23:21):
one of the best of the best of all high
schools even get to play in D one football alone,
become a star let alone, become a star. I mean, everybody,
get a hold of yourself. He's a good quarterback. Do
I think he's going to be a great starting quarterback
in the NFL? I do not know, And I don't
think anybody knows. He wouldn't have been high on my list.
How did he get so high on the pre draft list?
I don't know. How did he fall so low? I
(23:42):
don't know? And then all this nonsense in between is
just so unfortunate. But you know, when you get what
the NFL has done with the draft like no other sport.
Nobody follows the NHL draft like this. Nobody follows the
Major League Baseball draft, probably because in both cases there's
a long road to get to the bigs. Whereas a
(24:03):
rookie can make an impact in the NFL immediately, and
a couple of really good draft picks can begin to
build a franchise. But I mean just staring at Green
Bay with two hundred and fifty thousand people just gathered
for this draft and then it came to this. What
a shame it all turned out to be. So there
(24:24):
was that drama. Meanwhile, there's the picking of the next pope.
Usually there's a nine. I'm almost I'm not a Catholic,
so I'm just going by research, right, But I believe
there's nine days a morning following the funeral, and I
think nine days following the funeral is roughly May seventh,
So the conclave will begin. There'll be a Dean of
the conclave who will preside over it. Not all cardinals
(24:45):
can vote. You have to be under eighty to vote,
and we think there's some one hundred and twenty three
that will vote eighty I'm going off of memory, but
I have a good memory, eighty percent of which are
appointed cardinals by Francis. It's very very christ Like in spirit,
maybe not so christ like in doctrine, and progressive, so
(25:08):
much like the movie, this is a very interesting conclave.
The historic pendulum is you go from a conservative pope
to a more open pope and then back to a
conservative pope. But looking at this room of cardinals in
this conclave, the proclivity for them to pick a progressive
is pretty high, and like the movie That's the Battle,
there'll be those making the case this church needs to
(25:31):
return doctrinely sound and then there's gonna be a big movement.
We need to continue in the legacy and direction of Francis.
So it's going to be very interesting to see how
this plays out, and you will see it play out
in the selection. The odds on favorite heading into the
conclave is Cardinal Petro Prone. He is from Rome, and
(25:53):
he is considered the front runner and the obvious choice,
which probably makes him obviously not the choice. I'm telling
you the more I study this, Para Battista Pizza ball Look,
who is another Italian. He is the Archbishop of Jerusalem
(26:16):
and with so much conflict in the Gaza, and his
star seems to be really rising, rising in such a way.
Although I think he My pick was Matteo Zuppi, who
is the Archbishop of Bologna, another Italian, and both of them,
I think Zupe is sixty nine. I think Pizza Bala,
(26:37):
I know that name is the youngest. He's only sixty
and I don't know you know, again, there's there's a
discomfort in going with a young pope because depending on
how they turn out. You know, there's a reason why
they pick oh popes, either way good or bad, they're
not around long. So that's what made me kind of
think Zuopi was more of the pick. And then the one.
You know, people we talk about they've never had, I mean,
(26:58):
a pope of a Philippe origin, that would be a
first and he's sixty seven years old. Tagle is considered
a high consideration. A pope of color is a real possibility.
We've got one from Africa that is very highly seen.
But really, get the faces, get the ages, get all
that out of your mind. What really is going to
happen to this conclave is a choice is going to
(27:20):
be made. Do we continue in the spirit and humility
of Francis and in a progressive doctrine, an inclusive doctrine,
or do we continue with his spirit but return more
to a conservative traditional doctrine. And there's two billion, no
is it two billion two billion Catholics worldwide? Or is
(27:43):
it four billion, sixty seventy million in America? A lot,
a lot on the line here for the Catholic Church.
The Conclave has been announced. It will begin May the
seventh and may. I say it's got a twisting, a
twisted ending that Roy O'Neil hates and a lot of
people were discomforted with. Do you want to know how
Conclave works? The movie Conclave, which I don't think is
(28:03):
free because the minute the Pope died, now they're charging.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
No, it was a last night on Amazon Prime. I
could watch it. It's included with my Prime membership. How
about that? Well, I was on Prime and it made
me buy it? Well, that was then? That was Maybe
was that prior to the pope? No, it was free
before the Pope died and then they charged after. Oh okay,
And I still have no answer as to why the
(28:27):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is going to be
in Los Angeles instead of about the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in Cleveland. Nobody's been able to explain that
to me. We're going to come back with your top
five stories of the day, Sounds of the day. Can
I just give one real quick? I don't know if
it'll make us late, but this is Pam Bondy to me.
The notion that two illegals turned out to be the
ones that stole a purse with three thousand dollars from
Christy Nome. How did two illegals get into a Washington
(28:49):
restaurant around so around a secret service to steal this purse?
But boy, how's that for irony? It ends up being
two illegals. The other ironic story is a Wisconsin judge
that gets arrested. I mean just completely following narrative, just
completely picking a partisanside and ignoring justice altogether. Here's how
Pambondi described what happened to Wisconsin and to.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Set the stage for you and Sandra, this was truly horrific.
This guy was in court being prosecuted by a state
prosecutor for domestic violence battery. He had beat up two people,
a guy and a girl. Beat the guy a hit
guy thirty times, knocked him to the ground, choked him,
beat up a woman so badly they both had to
(29:31):
go to the hospital. And John, you know, it's so
rare for victims to want to cooperate, they wanted to cooperate.
They were sitting in the courtroom with the state prosecutor.
The judge learns that ice was outside to get the
guy because he had been deported in twenty thirteen, came
back in our country, commits these crimes. Charged with committing
these crimes. Victims in court. Judge finds out. She goes
(29:53):
out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers. She's furious,
visibly shaken, upset them off to talk to the chief judge.
She comes back in the courtroom. Here can believe this,
takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers,
takes them out of private exit and tells him to leave,
while a state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are
(30:16):
sitting in the courtroom.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Wow, you know, I mean, I always say the only
left shocking in life is the truth. This is your
Morning Show with Michael del Chuno. By the way, Denzel
called in one point four billion baptized Catholics in the
world today, estimated between sixty and seventy million in the
United States. All right. Police in Canada now say eleven
(30:38):
people were killed after a car plowed into crowded streets
at a festival in Vancouver. A recreational ferry crash and
Clearwater Florida responsible for one death in multiple injuries. Cardinals
preparing for the conclave that will begin on made. The
seventh Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has new additions
Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker. It's about time Bad Company. Johnny
made a record, went straight up to number one. City Lauper.
(31:01):
I don't know if that's rock and roll, but she's
on the list. Birthdays today, by the way, a shout
out to the Blues. What a huge win five to
one over the Winnipeg Jets. That series out tied at
two games. Apiece birthdays Jayleno was seventy five and Margaret
is eighty four. Anthony Volpi of the Yankees, and yes,
I'm just shamefully doing this because I'm a Yankee fan
twenty four and the Property Brothers who I once offended,
Drew and Jonathan Scott forty seven years old. If at
(31:24):
your birthday, Happy birthday, all right. The US says progress
is being made in the nuke talks in Iran, so
much so the talks are going to continue. National correspondent
Roory O'Neill is here with their final story. Good morning, Rory, Yeah,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
But the two sides say they're making progress, but remain
very far apart. The US and Iran held their third
round of indirect talks this weekend, mediated by Gulf state Oman. Look,
they're trying to get some deal that stops Iran from
developing its own nuclear weapon. Israel also wants to make
sure that Iran cannot develop a ballistic missile of any kind.
(31:58):
The US is trying to Iran from funding terrorist organizations
across the Middle East and might put sanctions on you know,
might decide to lift sanctions if Iran comply. So a
lot of different arguing points, but a lot more technical
talk I had this week.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So there is nothing more predictable than Iran being a problem,
let alone having a nuclear weapon. That comes down to
having the enriched centrifuges and uranium as well as the
delivery systems. We've played this game with North Korea. They
don't have any credibility or track record to have any
trustworthiness in the past. The biggest mistake is acting like
(32:37):
they have this level of enriched uranium in centrifugeas for
the purposes of electricity. I hope we're not going to
fall for that old chestnut again.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Well, there's been some talk that all right, will supply
you with your uranium for your power generation.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And then you can use it there, but you can't
use it printing en right, Yeah, and again is this
honest dishonest play? But I guess the good news Rory
is they're talking. Right. That's better than what's going on
with Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Right.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
And look at you know, judging by some recent reporting
President Trump, what's the way they said that he waved
off Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. The President disagreed, said, uh,
he didn't wave them off exactly, but said, I'm not
in a rush to do it because I think that
Iran has a chance to have a great country and
(33:27):
to live happily without death.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Is the president. There is one thing that Donald Trump
that the President Trump, not Donald Trump. That's disrespectful. But
President Trump is doing that I do like, and that
is talking to the Iranian people more than to the
Iranian leadership. That's a smart move too. Great reporting is
always Rory will talk again, Manyan, Now we're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael nheld
