Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Morning Show with Michael O'Dell charm all right, seven minutes
after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your morning
show on the air and streaming on your iHeartRadio app.
That's also where you'll find the talk back button if
you want to take your place at the table with
a question or a comic. Ghet that microphone and start talking.
Go rotting on hold all right. An Arizona man has
been indicted on five counts of arson for a fire
(00:47):
at a Tesla dealership.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
JD.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Vance, the Vice President and the President of the Senate.
We'll cast that tie breaking vote to chilly Senate resolution
that would have undone President Trump's trade policy. And it
looks as though the US and Ukraine have a minerals
deal after all. Rory O'Neil or National correspondent joins us Rory,
is it a done deal? What all does it entail
(01:09):
and why is this important for our future?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:12):
Certainly a framework is a done deal, and it establishes
the US Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, so the two countries
will work together to find investment targets in order to
benefit from the wealth of natural resources that Ukraine has,
whether in rare earth, minerals, oil, natural gas, or whatever
(01:33):
it may be. This is a long term agreement that
does not include a security guarantee, so it doesn't say
explicitly that if somebody attacks Ukraine, the US will send
in the eighty second Airborne to go fight back.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It does not say that I'm going to talk.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm going to talk for ten seconds. You can go ah,
I know you need to know.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
But what I was going to say is, and that's
not an omission as much as a clever strategy. I
think this self whites escalating things with Russia. However, if
the US has interests and feet there, they're going to
defend it well exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
And I've been doing the ten second thing all day.
It's not helping talogy. Yeah, it's a thing. So it's.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
So it's not explicit, as you said, but if the
Michael del journal Mining company is there and it's attacked,
then the US is likely to go in and do something.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, Michael del Jarno is for sure. Okay, So now
we got a lot of liquid gold underneath our feet.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But some of these minerals are things we need for production.
This too, Rory, or I'll ask you, this is more.
I don't think this is opinion. I think this is
still news. This suggest there's more to the president's long
term strategy about building things in America that we buy
in America and become self reliant and sustainable. I mean,
(02:51):
we got to produce things that people buy and use.
It creates jobs, it creates GDP, and it ultimately drives
down inflation or am I reading way too much into this.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
No, But that's also speaks to China has been controlling
many of these markets for these rare earth minerals themselves,
and whether it's China in China or Chinese investments, especially
in Africa and South America that give them access to
these materials. This is really the US saying all right,
we're playing ketchup to China, which has already secured a
lot of this stuff all around the world.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well didn't we learn that lesson? And with the energy
you can't depend on your enemies for energy. That's just
not a good place to find yourself. And the same
is true for mineral Sorry, so this defound out three
years ago. Yeah, Rory and' neil's gonna be back in
the third hour with the yet an even more great
story on the results of a new story of a
survey on how small businesses feel about their financial situation.
(03:47):
We've already had pulling on how the American people feel
heading deeper into the year, how does small business specifically feel?
And they have the same uncertainty and insecurities over how
this tariff negotiation is going to play out, I'm guessing.
But more with Rory and the third our great reporting
and we're all it's this is usually not It hasn't
happened when I first moved here. I don't know if
this happened to you, David Sanadio, senior contributors here to
(04:09):
join us on a very serious topic. But when I
moved here eighteen years ago, I lost my voice completely
and the radio station I was working for, and I
went on to work for for sixteen years. They kept
those promos running with my horse voice. But I used
to get very, very sick every third week of April.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
And it's not happening.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I mean, my eyes are itching, I'm a little stuffy,
but not like I used to be. But allergies. It's
supposed to be a very bad allergy year, and it's
apparently very prevalent in Florida, where Rory's feeling its effects.
Did you get that when you moved to Tennessee? I mean,
every region has different allergies, and you managed to live
at some point in the year in every one of
these regions.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
How could you be immune to all three?
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
My god, I'm just blessed to be a unicorn in
that regard allergies.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Probably because they had a lot of salami litters.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I noticed you. We never really have, and I'm so
far I'm clean.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We've been looking at this what we believe is a
bit of a manifesto. It's not just another editorial from
the managing senior editor of the Atlantic, and it's not
just any leftist publication. It's The Atlantic, the Atlantic is
who informs the intelligency elite at universities. And then when
we talk about the narrative controllers. Though journalism is dead
(05:27):
and has less audience and less advertisers, and certainly after
the last election, less influence. That apparatus of Comcast in
Disney and everything that it touches, from the major networks
to the cable networks, they take their cues from the Atlantic.
So here's a piece kind of comes out at I mean,
I don't want to overread. You can rebuke me if
I need it, but coincidentally comes out at the one
(05:52):
hundred days. So part of me feels like, Okay, Donald
Trump's going to tell you how he did the first
one hundred days, and then we're going to tell you
how we're going to destroy him the next one hundred.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It is kind of the subtleness of this, but I
got to start with this.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
How does Goldberg, the guy behind the whole signal scandal
to try to get Pete Hegseth fired, but more importantly
discredited presidency and the United States on a foreign policy
military exercise and mission.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
How does he end.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Up because he could have if he got on that
call accidentally, he could have not answered it, not signed in,
not listened, certainly not release the transcripts. How does somebody
that betrays an administration this month this much find himself
sitting in the White House?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And how do we not connect these two two words?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Two words? Game on, game on?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Donald Trump has chosen to embrace this conflict with the Atlantic,
and he's doing what Donald Trump the businessman would do.
He's bringing his enemies closer. He's bringing his adversary in
the room.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Is that why the first words in the recorded portion
of it was do you think Joe Biden would have
done this?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Of course he wouldn't have known it was on. It
starts talking.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Well, and so there's many questions about this.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
This is a story that is not being reported, and
so if you want to hear about it, you're going
to have to hear it here and on the public square, right,
because these things matter, these human dynamics behind the scenes
of the giant signal towers of the conglomerated media, of
which the Atlantic is the beacon right in regards to
the intellectual side of it, allegedly and in practice, no,
(07:28):
I think they are still they And if you look
at what's happened when Steve Jobs's would Loreene Powell Jobs
took over the Atlantic, bought the Atlantic with all of
her billions. She now gives these people a full field
of cover and resources to go nuts if you will,
and they're having a great time. So so many questions
(07:50):
that are not being asked, like, for example, did you know?
I know you know, but did we know as the
people that the Atlantic not only somehow magically was in
Michael Wallas's the National Security Director advisor.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
They're in his cell phone.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
How what in the world is mister Goldberg's phone number
doing in mister Wallas's phone And mister Goldberg says they've
been He's been together a number of times with him,
but everyone denies it. But there's a picture. What is
that relationship all about? And why is it being completely
covered up? That's one question Number two. After getting on
(08:30):
that phone text, why did he not simply immediately contact
Michael Walls, the Pentagon, the Secret Service, anybody.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
He could have called nine to one one and said,
I am on a text I don't belong on.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Please somebody get me off and tell me how this happened.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
How we do business?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
What was the old movie with Matthew Broderick war games.
Remember at the very beginning, he's just playing on his counting.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Us on thermal nuclear war.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
All right, So obviously that character would have known, Oh
my gosh, I'm in the Defense Department mainframe.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I got to get off.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm just something the bottom of your emails says, if
you've received this in air exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But we've all been there.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We've been not a national security not on a mission
of the military taking out facilities and enemy territory.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
There's war, there's so much more.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
But yeah, we would all if we all get on
a thread we don't belong on. We just don't go
on it, and we let them know that this accidentally happened.
None of that happens, all right, go to the next point.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But now suddenly they decide they want to talk more
to the president, so they call him on a cell phone.
And the answers, excuse me, how did they have President
Trump's cell phone number? And when you read the articles
that they've come out with, and when you listen to
the interview that came out with, they laugh about this.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
They're like kids that found an easter basket.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It's like, oh, well, you know, they don't take real
good care of his phone number, and so we just
got it. We're not going to tell you how, but
we just got his phone number and we called him
on Saturday morning.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's what's going on everyone's head. And I'll be the
red here. Okay, So how did he get in that
person's phone? How did he get the president's cell phone?
How did he get fat thumbed into the conversation?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, there's the.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Question, what do you what do you what are you suspecting?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Is it somebody within Trump's administration? Is it a former
president like Obama or a former secretary of State like
Hillary Clinton or some kind Did they hack their way in?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
What do we think?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We'll never know, I guess, but these guys are like
kids in a Billy Madison movie.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
They're just getting excited doing pranks.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
They actually, when you listen to them literally on the
on the radio podcast they put out, they sound like
kids who figured out how to steal something and get
away with it. In any case, not suggesting they stole
the phone number. They just got the phone number. We
don't know how they got the phone number. So and
then the first thing that happens Michael, they call, and
(10:56):
you got they actually put this on the ear.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You got to hear this.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
They were going to play the clips and future shows.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, they call and and there's silence when the phone
picks up, and then Goldberg explains or who this is
or the reporter says, this is so and so from
the from that magazine.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
And I'll who's calling. That's the first thing there. Who's calling?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Not sure who said that on the other okay, reporter
introduces himself, and the president says, oh, Michael, I know
exactly who you are. Trump was waiting for him. He
introduces himself. Trump knew exactly who he was, and the
conversation begins.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Game on.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
All right, you say, game on.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But could it be that they just walked that all
of this has been a trap set by.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
The president who knows might.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Be or informed after the fact it's one of the other.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Then you read what Goldberg talks about in the time
that they did. So they start with.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
A phone call and Trump talks to them for quite
some time, and they recorded.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I get this. They're interviewing the president of the United States.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
They're recording his comments for purposes of distribution.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
He has a conversation with them that's completely within his purview.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
He's not out of control, he's not mad and ranting
rating He's very strategic.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Then an interview.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
That they had been pursuing, which had been denied with
the White House for obviously good reasons. Suddenly they get
a phone call saying, come into the Oval Office.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
President wants to sit with you.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
So they bring in two reporters who are writing a
big story on Trump, and Goldberg shows up as well.
This is after Signal Gate blows wide open. So now
they're all sitting there together, and when Goldberg walks out,
he says, Oh, I think I get what this is.
The President has decided to engage, So we're going to engage.
These guys think that they're into the head of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm gonna I'm gonna take a pause right there, because
these are the kinds of things the media has been
doing because they have been They've been an arm of
the left, an arm of the DNC for a long time,
and these are the kind of clever games and mischief
they've been up to for years now. One and they
don't have the credibility they used to, they don't have
(13:02):
the influence they used to do. They don't have the
audience they used to and they don't have the revenue
they used to. But they've got some billionaires propping them up.
So who needs revenue if you've got the money, the
old Apple money, all of Steve Jobs's wife widow. But
they're playing games that used to work against politicians. Donald
Trump is not a politician. They're playing an old game
(13:24):
with the only guy and thank god, the only president.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You can't get away with it.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
With It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Journal.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
What is Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, the
man behind all of signal Gate and It's betrayal doing
in the Oval Office? How does he find his way
in the presence of the president or is the President
playing him? More on that with David Sinati coming up
in minutes first waking up your top stories you created
(13:57):
a US have signed a minerals deal if.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
It comes almost two months after a White House meeting
between Trump and Zelenski derailed talks on the deal. Zelenski
has declined to sign the previous proposals of the deal,
which requires Ukraine to relinquish a major share of its
future oil, gas and mineral revenues. Ukraine has long called
for security guarantees from the US as part of any
peace deal. The deal will provide the US access to
(14:20):
new investment projects meant to develop Ukraine's natural resources, such
as aluminum, graphied oil and natural gas.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Our Mark Mayfield, three.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
House Democrats are seeking removal from a resolution to impeach
President Trump.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Congressman Kwaiesiumfume and Jerry Nadler, as well as Congresswoman Robin Kelly,
initially signed on as co sponsors of Congressman Street Tenadar's resolution,
but the trio went to the House floor on Tuesday
asking for their names to be taken off the legislation.
It's a move that may signal many in the party
currently don't want to go down the path of trying
to remove the president from office. Spokespeople for Kelly and
Imfume say the lawmakers initially signed onto the effort because
(14:55):
they assumed it had been reviewed by leadership, that changed
their plans after learning it was not. Now, Congresswoman Jan
Schakowski remains as the only co sponsor of the resolution.
I'm we siteeler.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Mama Kamala was criticizing the President and in her first major
public remarks since losing her bid for the White House.
Speaker 10 (15:13):
The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better
and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen
quite the opposite over these past few months.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
Harris delivered the keynote address at a gala for Emerge
America in San Francisco Wednesday, Versus that people are describing
the recent months as absolute chaos. The former VP s
of the tariff Trump has imposed or clearly inviting a recession,
referring to what she now calls the greatest man made
economic crisis in modern presidential history. Harris went on to
end her speech by saying, the country doesn't belong to
(15:53):
whoever is in the White House.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I'm Tammage Rho.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That news for my listeners.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
In Los Angeles, the Lakers were eliminated from the NBA
Playoff CAP's Advance after beating the Canadians, and when their
Series in five Lightning eliminated the NHL, losing six to
three to the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
There, I'm Kenny Stevens, and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael beljorn Out.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Hi, it's Michael, your Morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to Work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast. One hour from now, I like the
way I do this, like I'm on television. One hour
from now, on this show, supermodel Christy Brinkley will join us.
(16:44):
She's out with her new memoir, Uptown Girl. You know
her face, you know heere out. We're beauty, But you
have any idea what her life has been like in
the lessons she's learned, You'll go beyond the face and
fame to the real Christy Brinkley and Uptown Girl, and
she'll join us. In less than an hour, we're visiting
with David Sonati. The US and the Ukraine have signed
its mineral deal according to the Treasury Department. Vice President
(17:06):
Vance will be casting the tie breaking vote to kill
the Senate resolution trying to kill the President's trade policy,
and former Vice President Kamala Harris was criticizing the president.
The whole world's in chaos. This country doesn't belong to
Donald Trump. It belongs to the people. Kind of similar
to the message that we're getting from Jeffrey Goldberg and
the editor of the Atlanta. When they win everything so
(17:30):
honky dory. When they lose, chaos in justice, the fall
of democracy, Oh, that old chestnut. So the reason we
have David with us is Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor
of The Atlantic. He's the one that somehow got into
the phone, got fat thumbed into the military operation conversation
(17:53):
signal gate, and then finds himself in the White House
and now playing on the Atlantic all recordings from his
visit with Donald Trump. How'd he trick the president and
get into the Oval Office? Or did he walk into
a trick by the President entering the Oval office. That's
kind of where we left off. It's a big elephant,
(18:16):
and I don't know quite how to do it one
bite at a time, or what the next bite is,
it would suggest, and I'm just going the key findings
from the beginning of this conversation when they call the
President's cell phone and there's no explanation for as to
how they had that number, and you know, when the
present when somebody says who is this? And the guy
starts explaining the President calls him by name and says,
(18:40):
I know who you are. Would suggest whatever they're being
led into or being suckered into, the President is a
step ahead of them. Is that a fair assessment of
what you're seeing, Michael, I've been reading this interview.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Now there's there's three documents, three large articles, and again
I don't think I have much fear of when we
talk about the Atlantic, Suddenly their subscription rates are going
to go up because people out of dire curiosity will
have to enroll because their articles are so long and
so laborious. I mean, you almost have to be ready
for the nursing home to take the time to read them.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It is such a burden. It's like, let me, let
me give you an example, the one you sent me.
It estimates his twenty eight minutes to read.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And so those are that is a long article and
it's amazing. So so okay, we've got all these weird
situations with how did you get this number, how did
you get on this text?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
What is all this all about? What what are you
doing here?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
And I'm telling you it's game on because Trump clearly
does not have to.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Associate with these people. He doesn't have to sit with
these people.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
It doesn't have to talk with him, but he's chosen
to bring you know, keep your friends close and your
enemy's close. So he's chosen to bring his enemies closer. Now,
they of course come in and they think these people
are so funny, Michael. They set up all their questions
that they send to the president and they're revealing all this.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
All you gonna do is read this stuff. It's right
there in plain sight.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
They clearly have set up what they think is a
trap to play the Trump's ego. They're going to interview
the president. They're trying to get into the White House.
We want to talk about your amazing political comeback. You're
the most amazing political character of this century. So it's all, gee,
let's just flatter him enough. Let's give the boy a donuts.
See what he does. So they're playing that game, thinking
(20:34):
that they've got it. They're this simpleton's going to fall
upon his own ego. So they get this back and
forth with no, thank you, you're not getting in. And
then they find the phone number and they call him.
The answers with simply who is this? And then they
introduce themselves and he goes, I know exactly who you are.
(20:55):
Next thing, you know, after having a phone interview, which
is very unusual for the President of the United States
to give a phone interview to The Atlantic or any
other high political opponent, then they get an invitation to
come into the White House. Now, when they get the invitation,
the analytic doesn't send the two reporters that are writing
the article. Jeffrey Goldberg has to come with his reporters.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean, just walking the halls of the White House
after you create a signal gate is an active reason,
just in some people's definition, is bigger than a raft alone.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
He's welcomed in. He's got to come in. And in
all of these articles he always had. Goldberg has the
first word in the interview. Goldberg goes back and forth
with the president. You've got to read this. It's like
two guys sitting at a bar ready getting ready to
get up and go to town. Goldberg shows absolutely no
respect to the President. He's as snarky as you can
(21:50):
possibly be. He interrupts him continually. This is all in print,
so and what basically is going Trump doesn't have to
entertain this guy. He doesn't have to put up with
this guy, but he's willing to do it. And if
you read the article and you read the interview, the
guy who looks pretty bad is Goldberg.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Let me know when you're ready for me to jump in,
because I don't want to interrupt. All right, One, they
create the narrative. This is a narrative you heard throughout
the campaign season. They would do it whenever they discussed putin.
You know, come give those snark. He remarks, he.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Puffed this man's ego.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Say some nice things about him.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He'll do whatever you say and be your puppet. I mean,
so they create a narrative that they think is real.
Now I will interject this.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think Donald Trump one point zero the first term,
did have an ego big, and when you puffed it up,
i'd see him take it. But ever since being shot,
I don't think they get he's a different man. And
I really believe, you know, when you have a conversion,
all things pass away and all things are new.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You become a new creation.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I don't think Donald Trump can sit down and explain
Christianity and sanctification, you know, and exegete scripture is like
a theologian. But I think he's a new creation. He's
convinced me he's a different man. So let me ask
you this question. Are they playing an old game that
doesn't work because he's not a politician? Are they playing
an old game that doesn't work against a guy because
(23:19):
he's not a politician. And oh, by the way, he's
not even the same guy he was prior to that
shot being fired.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Well, that is a deep, sobering, conclusive question. I don't
know the answer to that question. It is the right question.
It's almost rhetorical.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I haven't been able to listen, but I've read the
transcript and I'm telling you that's what That's one of
the things I took away from it. I wonder how
that whole conversation plays out. If that's Donald Trump for
eight years ago. Do they even know who they're talking to?
Let me just make a very quick reading here. I
know we don't do a lot of reading, but they're
in the Oval office.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Picture this, the Goldberg and two reporters sitting next to them,
the President United States behind.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
The desk, weeks after they created Signal Gate.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Right, Goldberg says, The thing I can't get my mind
around is that you're.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
One of the most successful people in history.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Right, You've won the presidency twice Trump and Rupson three times. Goldberg,
Goldberg with exclamation mark. This is exactly the question. At
this point in your career, don't you think you can
let go of this idea that you won? I mean,
I don't believe that you won the twenty twenty election. Trump.
(24:32):
I'm not asking you to Goldberg. Most people don't believe
you won the twenty twenty election. A lot of people
don't believe you won. It goes to this point about
vengeance versus moving forward.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
So here's Goldberg compelled.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I guess Goldberg really wants to be president of the
United States, because.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Why are so obsessed with this? Admit?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
By the way, it's not a simple admit. All right, Listen,
I stared down this barrel in a previous job. If
you say anything that would indicate that Joe Biden did
not legitimately win the presidency, you're fired. And see, they
could never get around to firing me for that, because
every time I did it, I would do the twelve
minute long explanation. David would narrow it down to this.
(25:18):
If you wanted to make it into a war cry,
they cheated fair and square. Now, how do you cheat fair? Well,
you weaponize COVID, You change election laws with legislators, because
we don't look at legislators, whether it's the United States
House of Representatives or your state House of Representatives. We're
obsessed with the presidency. But governors and legislatures failed you
(25:41):
with COVID. Fauci failed Trump with COVID. He played right
into it. They weaponized COVID, changed election laws which were unconstitutional,
harvested ballots and stole the elections in swing states with
fake voters. They tell you it in Time magazine. They
say it was their shadow campaign. We had to do
it to save democracy. Do you want Donald Trump to
(26:03):
give that explanation every time?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Is that stealing? Or is that fair and square? And
why are they still so obsessed with him.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Admitting he lost because they want this practice to continue?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Is that what they're after?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
David?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Are they trying to de legitimize him in some way?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I'm telling you you could do a lecture and rhetoric
right now. Your questions are more enlightening than any answer
I could provide.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
What are they really It's forty three minutes after the hour.
What are they really up to?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Here?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
My takeaway?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And by the way, David, am I this cheap kind
of No, I'm this broke, but he bought me the subscription,
so now I have access to where I you could
only get what David would send me. I'm watching this
whole thing I came away with.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
All right.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
The president's taking a victory lap over his second one
hundred days, which is our greatest scandalous defeat in history,
which is why they're never going back to Kamala Harris
and never going back to Governor Walls. Their people have
moved on to Ao because that's where Bernie told him
to go. The DNC has moved on to Romney Manuel
and Wes Moore, and the two are gonna fight.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Neither way. The party's gonna be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But that aside, they're not gonna go back to Kamala
Harris after their most embarrassing defeat and scandal ever. But
in looking at this, he the president has already won.
He's got his first one hundred days. The American people
are behind him on everything, maybe not so much the tariffs.
(27:28):
Thus the economy is a fifty to fifty things, but
a successful second first one hundred days, I took away
this is the Atlantics way of saying, and here's how
we're gonna begin to destroy you in the next one
hundred That's my takeaway of what they're up to. And
then when I saw the New York Times following with
their hit pieces, you're gonna see Disney and NBC doing
their hit pieces.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I mean, I think that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
But the compelling question is how does a guy that
create Signal Gate end up in the Oval office with
the president unless the president's two steps ahead of them,
Because I believe he's a different man. This is probably
going to blow up in the Atlantic's face.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Again, a most profound analysis. I think you could be right.
I think the point is this is worth watching.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
We are getting an inside pass right now, and it's
being provided to us by the Atlantic. They go to
Trump basically trying to play off of his ego. They
try to set up a trap for the President. He
goes in and he has a full conversation with them.
It proves one thing, Donald Trump is not afraid of
his opponents.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Look what he did with them, Look what he did
with the governor of Michigan. Brought it right on stage
praised her for saving that base.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
He's not afraid to talk to people who are intent
on destroying him, and these people are intent on restrained.
I think that the Atlantic only proves that they think
we're too stupid to be able to figure it out.
Because the Hubris and the Ego in their revelations now
are here for all of us to see. Go buy
a copy as fast as you can, and get every
(29:00):
photo system you can, because all of this stuff, when
it blows wide open up, disappears.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
It will disappear, but it is.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's better than anything that's on Netflix right now. Is
to read these interviews and listen to this interchange and
ask these kinds of substantive questions. This is one of
the most fascinating media interchanges with the president I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, I don't know how to sum it up other
than to say this is awful. Long to go on
attention span and availability to morning radio. It probably would have.
It'll serve better on the public square in a podcast format.
But the editor of The Atlantic, far left funded money
that speaks to all the intelligentsia and all of the media,
(29:43):
is setting something in motion. But how a guy who
created signal Gate ends up in the White House Oval Office,
and what the President's up to, what they're up to,
and why everyone else is ignoring it is beyond me.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
But I'm glad we're not David. Great work.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
We'll do more on this.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Tuono.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
John Decker's joining US White House Correspondent. Boys, he had
a busy week the president with that historic visit to
Michigan to celebrate his one hundred days of accomplishments. But
what are the polls suggest and how does it compare
to other presidents after one hundred days? White House correspondent
and Supreme Court bar attorney John Decker joins US.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
John, would you find.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Hey, good morning to you, Michael.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
You know, you look at the poll numbers and you know, to.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Mix bag, they have declined and that is not atypical,
you know, and the president comes in high water mark
in terms of polling. That was certainly the case with
Joe Biden. You know, hard to believe that at one
point he had fifty five percent approval rating when he
was sworn into office.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Michael.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
But as it relates to President Trump, two poles to
look at.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
One is ABC News Washington Post it has it at
a thirty nine percent approval rating. Another one is a
Fox News poll that has him at a forty four
percent approval rating, and both of those polls have the
President of at a fifty five percent disapproval rating. But
here's the thing. The support the President has which Republicans
hasn't waivered, and that I think is the reason why
(31:12):
the White House honestly doesn't pay that much attention to
the polling, because they're most concerned about their base when
they look about polling, and the base is still right
there with the president.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well, the most unprofessional thing I could do is remind
everybody that nobody trusts Poles, which was laughable yesterday rasus
into that poll how we don't trust Poles, But no,
I actually reading between the lines, and I don't care
that this one was ABC or what the next one is.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I think the president gets very high grades.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It can take a victory lap on securing the border
and restoring law and order and getting some bad people
off the streets, and I think the American people are
overwhelmingly behind him. I think where he has some question
marks is on the economy, which people equally wanted him
to fix and they don't. They wouldn't have started with
a tariff war. So but I can tell I can
(31:57):
ask you this, John, if the president pivots from the
two War, he's already got the mineral deal with Ukraine.
If he can negotiate a Russian peace deal or at
least a ceasefire and get on to some kind of
productive takeaway with Iran and the nuke talks, those numbers
flip immediately.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Well, those are big ifts, you know, the Russian one
is the biggest iff. And Putin shows no desire whatsoever
to come to terms as it relates to a peace
deal with Ukraine, no desire to end this war to
you know, he still continues to blaunch those drone strikes
and those missile strikes into.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Civilian areas of Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
But yeah, you take that off the map in terms
of a problem for the president. Then you know, maybe
as pull numbers go up, you know, take upwards. But
that's a big ift. But to your other point, you know,
as it relates to the tariffs, the trade war of
the president, you know is adamant. He's sticking with that policy.
But at the same time, I think also Michael. What
we'll see those pull numbers go up is when you
(32:57):
start announcing trade deals.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I think that.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Will give a sense to the public that this administration's
working hard and reaching trade deals with so many countries
that have reached out to the United States, which is
I think.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
What the piece of the puzzle was yesterday in bringing
all those business leaders and their investments.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
And that's also very important.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I mean, we're gonna talk to David Bonson about this,
but ultimately, we got to make things, and we got
to buy things that we make or have other people
buy things that we make. That's what's going to bring
What created inflation was just dumping unearned money into the economy,
but earned money that's a whole different story. So I
say the biggest if is how he pivots from the
(33:36):
trade battles that we're in, because I don't know that
the president doesn't still have a much bigger picture thing
in play, and I don't think he's gonna pivot as
much as he's gonna build upon and that that's gonna
take longer, and that's going to hold these numbers back longer.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Does that make sense? Did that make any sense?
Speaker 8 (33:55):
You always make sense? Michael, okay. But I think that
the big question.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Is, you know, the level of patients.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That the public has.
Speaker 8 (34:03):
You know, the President talks about short.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Term pain, as you mentioned, and how long has that
patience in place? And that's the big unknown.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
I have to wait and see in the months ahead.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
We're all in this together.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
This is your Morning Show with Michael ndheld Joo
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Morning Show with Michael O'Dell charm all right, seven minutes
after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your morning
show on the air and streaming on your iHeartRadio app.
That's also where you'll find the talk back button if
you want to take your place at the table with
a question or a comic. Ghet that microphone and start talking.
Go rotting on hold all right. An Arizona man has
been indicted on five counts of arson for a fire
(00:47):
at a Tesla dealership.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
JD.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Vance, the Vice President and the President of the Senate.
We'll cast that tie breaking vote to chilly Senate resolution
that would have undone President Trump's trade policy. And it
looks as though the US and Ukraine have a minerals
deal after all. Rory O'Neil or National correspondent joins us Rory,
is it a done deal? What all does it entail
(01:09):
and why is this important for our future?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:12):
Certainly a framework is a done deal, and it establishes
the US Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, so the two countries
will work together to find investment targets in order to
benefit from the wealth of natural resources that Ukraine has,
whether in rare earth, minerals, oil, natural gas, or whatever
(01:33):
it may be. This is a long term agreement that
does not include a security guarantee, so it doesn't say
explicitly that if somebody attacks Ukraine, the US will send
in the eighty second Airborne to go fight back.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It does not say that I'm going to talk.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm going to talk for ten seconds. You can go ah,
I know you need to know.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
But what I was going to say is, and that's
not an omission as much as a clever strategy. I
think this self whites escalating things with Russia. However, if
the US has interests and feet there, they're going to
defend it well exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
And I've been doing the ten second thing all day.
It's not helping talogy. Yeah, it's a thing. So it's.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
So it's not explicit, as you said, but if the
Michael del journal Mining company is there and it's attacked,
then the US is likely to go in and do something.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, Michael del Jarno is for sure. Okay, So now
we got a lot of liquid gold underneath our feet.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But some of these minerals are things we need for production.
This too, Rory, or I'll ask you, this is more.
I don't think this is opinion. I think this is
still news. This suggest there's more to the president's long
term strategy about building things in America that we buy
in America and become self reliant and sustainable. I mean,
(02:51):
we got to produce things that people buy and use.
It creates jobs, it creates GDP, and it ultimately drives
down inflation or am I reading way too much into this.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
No, But that's also speaks to China has been controlling
many of these markets for these rare earth minerals themselves,
and whether it's China in China or Chinese investments, especially
in Africa and South America that give them access to
these materials. This is really the US saying all right,
we're playing ketchup to China, which has already secured a
lot of this stuff all around the world.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well didn't we learn that lesson? And with the energy
you can't depend on your enemies for energy. That's just
not a good place to find yourself. And the same
is true for mineral Sorry, so this defound out three
years ago. Yeah, Rory and' neil's gonna be back in
the third hour with the yet an even more great
story on the results of a new story of a
survey on how small businesses feel about their financial situation.
(03:47):
We've already had pulling on how the American people feel
heading deeper into the year, how does small business specifically feel?
And they have the same uncertainty and insecurities over how
this tariff negotiation is going to play out, I'm guessing.
But more with Rory and the third our great reporting
and we're all it's this is usually not It hasn't
happened when I first moved here. I don't know if
this happened to you, David Sanadio, senior contributors here to
(04:09):
join us on a very serious topic. But when I
moved here eighteen years ago, I lost my voice completely
and the radio station I was working for, and I
went on to work for for sixteen years. They kept
those promos running with my horse voice. But I used
to get very, very sick every third week of April.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
And it's not happening.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I mean, my eyes are itching, I'm a little stuffy,
but not like I used to be. But allergies. It's
supposed to be a very bad allergy year, and it's
apparently very prevalent in Florida, where Rory's feeling its effects.
Did you get that when you moved to Tennessee? I mean,
every region has different allergies, and you managed to live
at some point in the year in every one of
these regions.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
How could you be immune to all three?
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
My god, I'm just blessed to be a unicorn in
that regard allergies.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Probably because they had a lot of salami litters.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I noticed you. We never really have, and I'm so
far I'm clean.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We've been looking at this what we believe is a
bit of a manifesto. It's not just another editorial from
the managing senior editor of the Atlantic, and it's not
just any leftist publication. It's The Atlantic, the Atlantic is
who informs the intelligency elite at universities. And then when
we talk about the narrative controllers. Though journalism is dead
(05:27):
and has less audience and less advertisers, and certainly after
the last election, less influence. That apparatus of Comcast in
Disney and everything that it touches, from the major networks
to the cable networks, they take their cues from the Atlantic.
So here's a piece kind of comes out at I mean,
I don't want to overread. You can rebuke me if
I need it, but coincidentally comes out at the one
(05:52):
hundred days. So part of me feels like, Okay, Donald
Trump's going to tell you how he did the first
one hundred days, and then we're going to tell you
how we're going to destroy him the next one hundred.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It is kind of the subtleness of this, but I
got to start with this.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
How does Goldberg, the guy behind the whole signal scandal
to try to get Pete Hegseth fired, but more importantly
discredited presidency and the United States on a foreign policy
military exercise and mission.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
How does he end.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Up because he could have if he got on that
call accidentally, he could have not answered it, not signed in,
not listened, certainly not release the transcripts. How does somebody
that betrays an administration this month this much find himself
sitting in the White House?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And how do we not connect these two two words?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Two words? Game on, game on?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Donald Trump has chosen to embrace this conflict with the Atlantic,
and he's doing what Donald Trump the businessman would do.
He's bringing his enemies closer. He's bringing his adversary in
the room.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Is that why the first words in the recorded portion
of it was do you think Joe Biden would have
done this?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Of course he wouldn't have known it was on. It
starts talking.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Well, and so there's many questions about this.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
This is a story that is not being reported, and
so if you want to hear about it, you're going
to have to hear it here and on the public square, right,
because these things matter, these human dynamics behind the scenes
of the giant signal towers of the conglomerated media, of
which the Atlantic is the beacon right in regards to
the intellectual side of it, allegedly and in practice, no,
(07:28):
I think they are still they And if you look
at what's happened when Steve Jobs's would Loreene Powell Jobs
took over the Atlantic, bought the Atlantic with all of
her billions. She now gives these people a full field
of cover and resources to go nuts if you will,
and they're having a great time. So so many questions
(07:50):
that are not being asked, like, for example, did you know?
I know you know, but did we know as the
people that the Atlantic not only somehow magically was in
Michael Wallas's the National Security Director advisor.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
They're in his cell phone.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
How what in the world is mister Goldberg's phone number
doing in mister Wallas's phone And mister Goldberg says they've
been He's been together a number of times with him,
but everyone denies it. But there's a picture. What is
that relationship all about? And why is it being completely
covered up? That's one question Number two. After getting on
(08:30):
that phone text, why did he not simply immediately contact
Michael Walls, the Pentagon, the Secret Service, anybody.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
He could have called nine to one one and said,
I am on a text I don't belong on.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Please somebody get me off and tell me how this happened.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
How we do business?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
What was the old movie with Matthew Broderick war games.
Remember at the very beginning, he's just playing on his counting.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Us on thermal nuclear war.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
All right, So obviously that character would have known, Oh
my gosh, I'm in the Defense Department mainframe.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I got to get off.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm just something the bottom of your emails says, if
you've received this in air exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But we've all been there.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We've been not a national security not on a mission
of the military taking out facilities and enemy territory.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
There's war, there's so much more.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
But yeah, we would all if we all get on
a thread we don't belong on. We just don't go
on it, and we let them know that this accidentally happened.
None of that happens, all right, go to the next point.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But now suddenly they decide they want to talk more
to the president, so they call him on a cell phone.
And the answers, excuse me, how did they have President
Trump's cell phone number? And when you read the articles
that they've come out with, and when you listen to
the interview that came out with, they laugh about this.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
They're like kids that found an easter basket.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It's like, oh, well, you know, they don't take real
good care of his phone number, and so we just
got it. We're not going to tell you how, but
we just got his phone number and we called him
on Saturday morning.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's what's going on everyone's head. And I'll be the
red here. Okay, So how did he get in that
person's phone? How did he get the president's cell phone?
How did he get fat thumbed into the conversation?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, there's the.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Question, what do you what do you what are you suspecting?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Is it somebody within Trump's administration? Is it a former
president like Obama or a former secretary of State like
Hillary Clinton or some kind Did they hack their way in?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
What do we think?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We'll never know, I guess, but these guys are like
kids in a Billy Madison movie.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
They're just getting excited doing pranks.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
They actually, when you listen to them literally on the
on the radio podcast they put out, they sound like
kids who figured out how to steal something and get
away with it. In any case, not suggesting they stole
the phone number. They just got the phone number. We
don't know how they got the phone number. So and
then the first thing that happens Michael, they call, and
(10:56):
you got they actually put this on the ear.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You got to hear this.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
They were going to play the clips and future shows.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, they call and and there's silence when the phone
picks up, and then Goldberg explains or who this is
or the reporter says, this is so and so from
the from that magazine.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
And I'll who's calling. That's the first thing there. Who's calling?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Not sure who said that on the other okay, reporter
introduces himself, and the president says, oh, Michael, I know
exactly who you are. Trump was waiting for him. He
introduces himself. Trump knew exactly who he was, and the
conversation begins.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Game on.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
All right, you say, game on.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But could it be that they just walked that all
of this has been a trap set by.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
The president who knows might.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Be or informed after the fact it's one of the other.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Then you read what Goldberg talks about in the time
that they did. So they start with.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
A phone call and Trump talks to them for quite
some time, and they recorded.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I get this. They're interviewing the president of the United States.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
They're recording his comments for purposes of distribution.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
He has a conversation with them that's completely within his purview.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
He's not out of control, he's not mad and ranting
rating He's very strategic.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Then an interview.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
That they had been pursuing, which had been denied with
the White House for obviously good reasons. Suddenly they get
a phone call saying, come into the Oval Office.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
President wants to sit with you.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
So they bring in two reporters who are writing a
big story on Trump, and Goldberg shows up as well.
This is after Signal Gate blows wide open. So now
they're all sitting there together, and when Goldberg walks out,
he says, Oh, I think I get what this is.
The President has decided to engage, So we're going to engage.
These guys think that they're into the head of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm gonna I'm gonna take a pause right there, because
these are the kinds of things the media has been
doing because they have been They've been an arm of
the left, an arm of the DNC for a long time,
and these are the kind of clever games and mischief
they've been up to for years now. One and they
don't have the credibility they used to, they don't have
(13:02):
the influence they used to do. They don't have the
audience they used to and they don't have the revenue
they used to. But they've got some billionaires propping them up.
So who needs revenue if you've got the money, the
old Apple money, all of Steve Jobs's wife widow. But
they're playing games that used to work against politicians. Donald
Trump is not a politician. They're playing an old game
(13:24):
with the only guy and thank god, the only president.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You can't get away with it.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
With It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Journal.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
What is Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, the
man behind all of signal Gate and It's betrayal doing
in the Oval Office? How does he find his way
in the presence of the president or is the President
playing him? More on that with David Sinati coming up
in minutes first waking up your top stories you created
(13:57):
a US have signed a minerals deal if.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
It comes almost two months after a White House meeting
between Trump and Zelenski derailed talks on the deal. Zelenski
has declined to sign the previous proposals of the deal,
which requires Ukraine to relinquish a major share of its
future oil, gas and mineral revenues. Ukraine has long called
for security guarantees from the US as part of any
peace deal. The deal will provide the US access to
(14:20):
new investment projects meant to develop Ukraine's natural resources, such
as aluminum, graphied oil and natural gas.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Our Mark Mayfield, three.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
House Democrats are seeking removal from a resolution to impeach
President Trump.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Congressman Kwaiesiumfume and Jerry Nadler, as well as Congresswoman Robin Kelly,
initially signed on as co sponsors of Congressman Street Tenadar's resolution,
but the trio went to the House floor on Tuesday
asking for their names to be taken off the legislation.
It's a move that may signal many in the party
currently don't want to go down the path of trying
to remove the president from office. Spokespeople for Kelly and
Imfume say the lawmakers initially signed onto the effort because
(14:55):
they assumed it had been reviewed by leadership, that changed
their plans after learning it was not. Now, Congresswoman Jan
Schakowski remains as the only co sponsor of the resolution.
I'm we siteeler.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Mama Kamala was criticizing the President and in her first major
public remarks since losing her bid for the White House.
Speaker 10 (15:13):
The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better
and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen
quite the opposite over these past few months.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
Harris delivered the keynote address at a gala for Emerge
America in San Francisco Wednesday, Versus that people are describing
the recent months as absolute chaos. The former VP s
of the tariff Trump has imposed or clearly inviting a recession,
referring to what she now calls the greatest man made
economic crisis in modern presidential history. Harris went on to
end her speech by saying, the country doesn't belong to
(15:53):
whoever is in the White House.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I'm Tammage Rho.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That news for my listeners.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
In Los Angeles, the Lakers were eliminated from the NBA
Playoff CAP's Advance after beating the Canadians, and when their
Series in five Lightning eliminated the NHL, losing six to
three to the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
There, I'm Kenny Stevens, and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael beljorn Out.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Hi, it's Michael, your Morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to Work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast. One hour from now, I like the
way I do this, like I'm on television. One hour
from now, on this show, supermodel Christy Brinkley will join us.
(16:44):
She's out with her new memoir, Uptown Girl. You know
her face, you know heere out. We're beauty, But you
have any idea what her life has been like in
the lessons she's learned, You'll go beyond the face and
fame to the real Christy Brinkley and Uptown Girl, and
she'll join us. In less than an hour, we're visiting
with David Sonati. The US and the Ukraine have signed
its mineral deal according to the Treasury Department. Vice President
(17:06):
Vance will be casting the tie breaking vote to kill
the Senate resolution trying to kill the President's trade policy,
and former Vice President Kamala Harris was criticizing the president.
The whole world's in chaos. This country doesn't belong to
Donald Trump. It belongs to the people. Kind of similar
to the message that we're getting from Jeffrey Goldberg and
the editor of the Atlanta. When they win everything so
(17:30):
honky dory. When they lose, chaos in justice, the fall
of democracy, Oh, that old chestnut. So the reason we
have David with us is Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor
of The Atlantic. He's the one that somehow got into
the phone, got fat thumbed into the military operation conversation
(17:53):
signal gate, and then finds himself in the White House
and now playing on the Atlantic all recordings from his
visit with Donald Trump. How'd he trick the president and
get into the Oval Office? Or did he walk into
a trick by the President entering the Oval office. That's
kind of where we left off. It's a big elephant,
(18:16):
and I don't know quite how to do it one
bite at a time, or what the next bite is,
it would suggest, and I'm just going the key findings
from the beginning of this conversation when they call the
President's cell phone and there's no explanation for as to
how they had that number, and you know, when the
present when somebody says who is this? And the guy
starts explaining the President calls him by name and says,
(18:40):
I know who you are. Would suggest whatever they're being
led into or being suckered into, the President is a
step ahead of them. Is that a fair assessment of
what you're seeing, Michael, I've been reading this interview.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Now there's there's three documents, three large articles, and again
I don't think I have much fear of when we
talk about the Atlantic, Suddenly their subscription rates are going
to go up because people out of dire curiosity will
have to enroll because their articles are so long and
so laborious. I mean, you almost have to be ready
for the nursing home to take the time to read them.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It is such a burden. It's like, let me, let
me give you an example, the one you sent me.
It estimates his twenty eight minutes to read.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And so those are that is a long article and
it's amazing. So so okay, we've got all these weird
situations with how did you get this number, how did
you get on this text?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
What is all this all about? What what are you
doing here?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
And I'm telling you it's game on because Trump clearly
does not have to.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Associate with these people. He doesn't have to sit with
these people.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
It doesn't have to talk with him, but he's chosen
to bring you know, keep your friends close and your
enemy's close. So he's chosen to bring his enemies closer. Now,
they of course come in and they think these people
are so funny, Michael. They set up all their questions
that they send to the president and they're revealing all this.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
All you gonna do is read this stuff. It's right
there in plain sight.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
They clearly have set up what they think is a
trap to play the Trump's ego. They're going to interview
the president. They're trying to get into the White House.
We want to talk about your amazing political comeback. You're
the most amazing political character of this century. So it's all, gee,
let's just flatter him enough. Let's give the boy a donuts.
See what he does. So they're playing that game, thinking
(20:34):
that they've got it. They're this simpleton's going to fall
upon his own ego. So they get this back and
forth with no, thank you, you're not getting in. And
then they find the phone number and they call him.
The answers with simply who is this? And then they
introduce themselves and he goes, I know exactly who you are.
(20:55):
Next thing, you know, after having a phone interview, which
is very unusual for the President of the United States
to give a phone interview to The Atlantic or any
other high political opponent, then they get an invitation to
come into the White House. Now, when they get the invitation,
the analytic doesn't send the two reporters that are writing
the article. Jeffrey Goldberg has to come with his reporters.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean, just walking the halls of the White House
after you create a signal gate is an active reason,
just in some people's definition, is bigger than a raft alone.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
He's welcomed in. He's got to come in. And in
all of these articles he always had. Goldberg has the
first word in the interview. Goldberg goes back and forth
with the president. You've got to read this. It's like
two guys sitting at a bar ready getting ready to
get up and go to town. Goldberg shows absolutely no
respect to the President. He's as snarky as you can
(21:50):
possibly be. He interrupts him continually. This is all in print,
so and what basically is going Trump doesn't have to
entertain this guy. He doesn't have to put up with
this guy, but he's willing to do it. And if
you read the article and you read the interview, the
guy who looks pretty bad is Goldberg.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Let me know when you're ready for me to jump in,
because I don't want to interrupt. All right, One, they
create the narrative. This is a narrative you heard throughout
the campaign season. They would do it whenever they discussed putin.
You know, come give those snark. He remarks, he.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Puffed this man's ego.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Say some nice things about him.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He'll do whatever you say and be your puppet. I mean,
so they create a narrative that they think is real.
Now I will interject this.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think Donald Trump one point zero the first term,
did have an ego big, and when you puffed it up,
i'd see him take it. But ever since being shot,
I don't think they get he's a different man. And
I really believe, you know, when you have a conversion,
all things pass away and all things are new.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You become a new creation.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I don't think Donald Trump can sit down and explain
Christianity and sanctification, you know, and exegete scripture is like
a theologian. But I think he's a new creation. He's
convinced me he's a different man. So let me ask
you this question. Are they playing an old game that
doesn't work because he's not a politician? Are they playing
an old game that doesn't work against a guy because
(23:19):
he's not a politician. And oh, by the way, he's
not even the same guy he was prior to that
shot being fired.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Well, that is a deep, sobering, conclusive question. I don't
know the answer to that question. It is the right question.
It's almost rhetorical.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I haven't been able to listen, but I've read the
transcript and I'm telling you that's what That's one of
the things I took away from it. I wonder how
that whole conversation plays out. If that's Donald Trump for
eight years ago. Do they even know who they're talking to?
Let me just make a very quick reading here. I
know we don't do a lot of reading, but they're
in the Oval office.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Picture this, the Goldberg and two reporters sitting next to them,
the President United States behind.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
The desk, weeks after they created Signal Gate.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Right, Goldberg says, The thing I can't get my mind
around is that you're.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
One of the most successful people in history.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Right, You've won the presidency twice Trump and Rupson three times. Goldberg,
Goldberg with exclamation mark. This is exactly the question. At
this point in your career, don't you think you can
let go of this idea that you won? I mean,
I don't believe that you won the twenty twenty election. Trump.
(24:32):
I'm not asking you to Goldberg. Most people don't believe
you won the twenty twenty election. A lot of people
don't believe you won. It goes to this point about
vengeance versus moving forward.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
So here's Goldberg compelled.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I guess Goldberg really wants to be president of the
United States, because.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Why are so obsessed with this? Admit?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
By the way, it's not a simple admit. All right, Listen,
I stared down this barrel in a previous job. If
you say anything that would indicate that Joe Biden did
not legitimately win the presidency, you're fired. And see, they
could never get around to firing me for that, because
every time I did it, I would do the twelve
minute long explanation. David would narrow it down to this.
(25:18):
If you wanted to make it into a war cry,
they cheated fair and square. Now, how do you cheat fair? Well,
you weaponize COVID, You change election laws with legislators, because
we don't look at legislators, whether it's the United States
House of Representatives or your state House of Representatives. We're
obsessed with the presidency. But governors and legislatures failed you
(25:41):
with COVID. Fauci failed Trump with COVID. He played right
into it. They weaponized COVID, changed election laws which were unconstitutional,
harvested ballots and stole the elections in swing states with
fake voters. They tell you it in Time magazine. They
say it was their shadow campaign. We had to do
it to save democracy. Do you want Donald Trump to
(26:03):
give that explanation every time?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Is that stealing? Or is that fair and square? And
why are they still so obsessed with him.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Admitting he lost because they want this practice to continue?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Is that what they're after?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
David?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Are they trying to de legitimize him in some way?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I'm telling you you could do a lecture and rhetoric
right now. Your questions are more enlightening than any answer
I could provide.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
What are they really It's forty three minutes after the hour.
What are they really up to?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Here?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
My takeaway?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And by the way, David, am I this cheap kind
of No, I'm this broke, but he bought me the subscription,
so now I have access to where I you could
only get what David would send me. I'm watching this
whole thing I came away with.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
All right.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
The president's taking a victory lap over his second one
hundred days, which is our greatest scandalous defeat in history,
which is why they're never going back to Kamala Harris
and never going back to Governor Walls. Their people have
moved on to Ao because that's where Bernie told him
to go. The DNC has moved on to Romney Manuel
and Wes Moore, and the two are gonna fight.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Neither way. The party's gonna be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But that aside, they're not gonna go back to Kamala
Harris after their most embarrassing defeat and scandal ever. But
in looking at this, he the president has already won.
He's got his first one hundred days. The American people
are behind him on everything, maybe not so much the tariffs.
(27:28):
Thus the economy is a fifty to fifty things, but
a successful second first one hundred days, I took away
this is the Atlantics way of saying, and here's how
we're gonna begin to destroy you in the next one
hundred That's my takeaway of what they're up to. And
then when I saw the New York Times following with
their hit pieces, you're gonna see Disney and NBC doing
their hit pieces.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I mean, I think that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
But the compelling question is how does a guy that
create Signal Gate end up in the Oval office with
the president unless the president's two steps ahead of them,
Because I believe he's a different man. This is probably
going to blow up in the Atlantic's face.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Again, a most profound analysis. I think you could be right.
I think the point is this is worth watching.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
We are getting an inside pass right now, and it's
being provided to us by the Atlantic. They go to
Trump basically trying to play off of his ego. They
try to set up a trap for the President. He
goes in and he has a full conversation with them.
It proves one thing, Donald Trump is not afraid of
his opponents.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Look what he did with them, Look what he did
with the governor of Michigan. Brought it right on stage
praised her for saving that base.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
He's not afraid to talk to people who are intent
on destroying him, and these people are intent on restrained.
I think that the Atlantic only proves that they think
we're too stupid to be able to figure it out.
Because the Hubris and the Ego in their revelations now
are here for all of us to see. Go buy
a copy as fast as you can, and get every
(29:00):
photo system you can, because all of this stuff, when
it blows wide open up, disappears.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
It will disappear, but it is.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
It's better than anything that's on Netflix right now. Is
to read these interviews and listen to this interchange and
ask these kinds of substantive questions. This is one of
the most fascinating media interchanges with the president I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, I don't know how to sum it up other
than to say this is awful. Long to go on
attention span and availability to morning radio. It probably would have.
It'll serve better on the public square in a podcast format.
But the editor of The Atlantic, far left funded money
that speaks to all the intelligentsia and all of the media,
(29:43):
is setting something in motion. But how a guy who
created signal Gate ends up in the White House Oval Office,
and what the President's up to, what they're up to,
and why everyone else is ignoring it is beyond me.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
But I'm glad we're not David. Great work.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
We'll do more on this.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Tuono.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
John Decker's joining US White House Correspondent. Boys, he had
a busy week the president with that historic visit to
Michigan to celebrate his one hundred days of accomplishments. But
what are the polls suggest and how does it compare
to other presidents after one hundred days? White House correspondent
and Supreme Court bar attorney John Decker joins US.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
John, would you find.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Hey, good morning to you, Michael.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
You know, you look at the poll numbers and you know, to.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Mix bag, they have declined and that is not atypical,
you know, and the president comes in high water mark
in terms of polling. That was certainly the case with
Joe Biden. You know, hard to believe that at one
point he had fifty five percent approval rating when he
was sworn into office.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Michael.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
But as it relates to President Trump, two poles to
look at.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
One is ABC News Washington Post it has it at
a thirty nine percent approval rating. Another one is a
Fox News poll that has him at a forty four
percent approval rating, and both of those polls have the
President of at a fifty five percent disapproval rating. But
here's the thing. The support the President has which Republicans
hasn't waivered, and that I think is the reason why
(31:12):
the White House honestly doesn't pay that much attention to
the polling, because they're most concerned about their base when
they look about polling, and the base is still right
there with the president.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well, the most unprofessional thing I could do is remind
everybody that nobody trusts Poles, which was laughable yesterday rasus
into that poll how we don't trust Poles, But no,
I actually reading between the lines, and I don't care
that this one was ABC or what the next one is.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I think the president gets very high grades.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It can take a victory lap on securing the border
and restoring law and order and getting some bad people
off the streets, and I think the American people are
overwhelmingly behind him. I think where he has some question
marks is on the economy, which people equally wanted him
to fix and they don't. They wouldn't have started with
a tariff war. So but I can tell I can
(31:57):
ask you this, John, if the president pivots from the
two War, he's already got the mineral deal with Ukraine.
If he can negotiate a Russian peace deal or at
least a ceasefire and get on to some kind of
productive takeaway with Iran and the nuke talks, those numbers
flip immediately.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Well, those are big ifts, you know, the Russian one
is the biggest iff. And Putin shows no desire whatsoever
to come to terms as it relates to a peace
deal with Ukraine, no desire to end this war to
you know, he still continues to blaunch those drone strikes
and those missile strikes into.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Civilian areas of Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
But yeah, you take that off the map in terms
of a problem for the president. Then you know, maybe
as pull numbers go up, you know, take upwards. But
that's a big ift. But to your other point, you know,
as it relates to the tariffs, the trade war of
the president, you know is adamant. He's sticking with that policy.
But at the same time, I think also Michael. What
we'll see those pull numbers go up is when you
(32:57):
start announcing trade deals.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I think that.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Will give a sense to the public that this administration's
working hard and reaching trade deals with so many countries
that have reached out to the United States, which is
I think.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
What the piece of the puzzle was yesterday in bringing
all those business leaders and their investments.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
And that's also very important.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I mean, we're gonna talk to David Bonson about this,
but ultimately, we got to make things, and we got
to buy things that we make or have other people
buy things that we make. That's what's going to bring
What created inflation was just dumping unearned money into the economy,
but earned money that's a whole different story. So I
say the biggest if is how he pivots from the
(33:36):
trade battles that we're in, because I don't know that
the president doesn't still have a much bigger picture thing
in play, and I don't think he's gonna pivot as
much as he's gonna build upon and that that's gonna
take longer, and that's going to hold these numbers back longer.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Does that make sense? Did that make any sense?
Speaker 8 (33:55):
You always make sense? Michael, okay. But I think that
the big question.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Is, you know, the level of patients.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That the public has.
Speaker 8 (34:03):
You know, the President talks about short.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Term pain, as you mentioned, and how long has that
patience in place? And that's the big unknown.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
I have to wait and see in the months ahead.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
We're all in this together.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
