Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k f YI
and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland
and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a
part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you
listen live. But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well two three starting your morning off right, a new
way of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Because we're in this to given. This is your morning
show with Michael Dell Jordan starting your weekend off right.
All Right, Friday made the second You have our No.
Twenty twenty five, seven minutes after the hour on the
air and streaming live on your right Heart radio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorn along
with Jeffrey Lyne and read. I want to thank you
real quick if I can, John Perry, who sent me,

(00:48):
I'll tell you what I cherished the most. John, You're
I can appreciate this so far because I haven't read
the book yet. Was your note. Loved your note and
I look forward to reading your book. Thank you so
much for that gift and reminder to all listeners you
can't send to the host. We do accept tips, dah,
I'm just joking. Red said something off the air that

(01:09):
was just brilliant. So President Trump in his first of all,
it was visually breathtaking. This president we talked earlier at length.
Shameless plug for the podcast if you missed it. What
does Donald Trump look like through the eyes of a
twenty two year old? Like when I was twenty two,
Ronald Ringgan was president, he was bigger than life. I

(01:31):
see Donald Trump through my sixty year old eyes, But
what does he look like from a graduating senior at
the University of Alabama through their eyes? And that was
such a spectacle last night. Now you compare that to
the previous president, there's no comparison. President even pointed that
out is a nice time a president that can add
lib and not read the teleprompter. But it was just
Donald Trump at his best. I've looked for words. He's

(01:54):
so different, so comfortable, so charming, so substantive. And when
you're watching this speech, yeah, there's shots of the entire
arena that'll just take your breath away. But I love
watching the faces of these twenty two year olds who
have achieved graduation, and the ones behind him are the

(02:16):
ones with honors, and they're commencing to be our future leaders.
But the looks on their face throughout this one hour speech,
and I described it this way, I don't know where
people stood. My guess is about eight of these ten
kids love this president. But I'm telling you about the
end of the speech. All ten did and I couldn't

(02:36):
do it in the sounds of the day. I did
it earlier on its own, and I want to finish
on its own. Here's a little section towards the end,
and this is what I'm talking about. This president was
just so on. It was a rally, it was a
commencement address. It was memorable. And this is the kind
of thing that Reagan would do, Kennedy would do. Kenny
would go and give a graduation speech to Rice and

(02:59):
make history. There was a lot of history yesterday. But
Red meet the point all ten of his things. His
advice to them, You're not too young to succeed. Love
what you do, think big, work hard, don't lose your
momentum being outside or trust your instincts, believe in the
American dream, think of yourself as a winner and never

(03:19):
give up. Firstly, all those points to what we see
on most campuses don't apply to any of them if
they were eating it up last night. Listen to this
ending real quick.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Some of you will leave here today and travel the world,
but you will always know that this state as this
is really sweet home Alabama, right, It's always going to.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Be your place.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I sort of feel that way.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Myself because from a political standpoint, it's just been we
connected from day one, From the first day I set
my foot on this beautiful soil, I connected with Alabama.
And here in Alabama, we believe that the men and
women who built this country are heroes, and that America's
destiny is to be the single greatest nation on the
face of the earth, and we're bringing it back at

(04:05):
speed that nobody thought was possible. We believe in freedom
and family, God and country. We cherish our Constitution, we
revere our Bible, and we salute our great American flag.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
The fixes of the students achieve He's the one we
all say hail too. He has the power because he
takes a shower. Mister President, good morning, well, good.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Morning, pizza boy. Have to say we've had one heck
of a weekend, one heck of a first underd days,
and we're all having one heck of a time. The
Golden age, it's a golden age. Nobody looks gold.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Like we do.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
We have the greatest age is the most incredible.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
I see you.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I said this behind your back during the week in
an interview with John Decker, or White House correspondent. I mean,
I don't know where you find the energy that rally
in Detroit. And this would be the third time I've
said this may have been your best yet.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, nobody has more fun of the Trump rally than Trump. Right,
we have a great time. And we had a protester
there who made a big scene and I thought it
was a guy, right, and it wasn't the guy, and
the person said it's a am sir. I said, oh
my goodness, I'm so sorry. I had no idea you
could have fooled me, right, and you could, and you

(05:26):
did fool me. I don't get fooled often, so whatever
this person was in a fantastic drump selling it. Rather,
I can tell you that I'm generally very good at
picking out women. Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macrowe those ladies are
you know, those ladies are very easy to distinguish from others.
But then there are some people we really can't prob

(05:47):
and we're going to leave it at that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
All right, how do you sum up the first one
hundred days? I think remarkable on the border, challenging on
the economy, but all in all, mineral deal done.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, I would say this, I would say we sum
up the first hundred days by saying it was the
greatest hundred days in the history of probably time. You know,
we had the greatest hundred days. Nobody's ever seen a
better one hundred days. Some of the American president that
we've seen right now, this is the greatest. And you know,
we've gotten so much jug. We kept the men out

(06:20):
of the women's sports, We got the border. You know,
the band ombres that I'm coming in, and we're sending
the other band ombres who got in out. We're sending
them out like nobody's ever seen before. They're going home,
and some of them are going home, and the Democrats
are following them. Could you believe it?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
You have kill Margharitaville.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right they went down, They were simping Margarita's wasting away
and kill Margharitaville, right, searching for the salt, salt, salt.
We all love it, right, isn't it incredible?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
He's a wonderful husband, a wonderful father. He was just
taken without due process and throwing at prison. He didn't
have Ms thirteen on his hands and fingers. I mean
we learned that from the ABC interview. I mean, I
mean they it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
You're looking at it like that ABC guy was. Can
let me just tell you something, you know, they'll say
his name is Terry Moran. Iquill him, Terry Moron. Right,
he's a stupid guy.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
And you look at what he did.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
He says, sir, he wasn't from MS thirteen. I said, then,
why the hell does he at MS thirteen on his
hand for fun?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
What is he doing?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
And these steep all so stupid? This is why we
do the interview with you.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
You're not a stupid person.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You're an onderful person and a handsome person. And your
ratings are through the roof. I can tell you that
through the roof like nobody's ever seen. Because you do
a tremendous job and because you have a great guest
every Friday that much.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I was just gonna say, it's all driven by the
Friday kume. All right, so let's talk Friday with forty
seven a little bit about what Holman said, and that is,
they didn't just let twenty million pour over the border.
Then they started moving them. They didn't put them in
ice beds. They put them in five hundred dollars hotel
beds and dispersed them. Because they've been in ice beds,

(07:57):
they would have processed. They'd have been processed within thirty
five days. In nine out of ten get deported. So
they did this on purpose, and now they want us
to go back and do each one one at a time.
That would be simply by numbers impossible. So the same
people that created the invasion want to keep it alive.
I mean I hope that's I mean, no matter what

(08:17):
side you're on, I hope that strategy is obvious to everyone.
That's clearly what they're trying to do.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well, that's what they're trying. You know. They brought in
planes and buses and trainloads of illegal alien dead ombres, right,
they brought them in, and they all came in at
the same time. There was no process. There was no law,
there was no order, there was nothing. They came in
and they put them all over the place, the sanctuary cities,
the beautiful hotels. Like you said. Now, they want us

(08:46):
to go one by one and they want us to
do process and it takes years. We're not going to
do that.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
We're not going to do that.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
If you hear illegally, you're getting the hell out right
and you don't have to go home, but you can't
stay here. Some of them say, don't want to go
back to my home country. We'll go to another country,
and no problem getting into our country. You can go
to somebody else's country, but you can't stay in my country.
You can't stay in our country. These are people who
are and we have it coming up the fifth of May, right,

(09:14):
Sinco de Mayo, I call it Sinco di porto. We're
gonna get them all out right on the Sinco di porto.
Everybody out. You know, I speak advantaged very well. Sleeping
on day Friday, Papa swear right, audios, We're gonna take
th day and we're turning them into ThReD day Adios right, goodbye.

(09:35):
We're getting them out, So every one of them is
getting out too. If you're a criminal, you're not a criminal.
If you came into our country, you're a criminal. You
committed a crime. You broke in and you entered, and
you have to get the hell out of our country.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, but you started with rapists, human traffickers, drug traffickers,
gang bangers, murderers. I mean, I thought, what you did
on the long drive of the White House, with all
the signs of those that were deport well, I call it.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Let me just tell you what I call it. Let
me tell you what I call it. I called that
the Great Wall of mugshots. Right, China has a great wall.
I have the Great Wall of mugshots. And I can
tell you this. You know, you look at all these mugshots,
all the vandambres and the mug shots. None of their
mugshots are as nice as my mug shot. Right, I
had the mono lease of mugshots. It's a beautiful mug

(10:22):
Nobody's ever seen it. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
You look at their mug shots.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
They are horrible mugshots. But we put them up and
it's the Great Wall of mugshots and it's a beautiful.
I said we would build a wall. We build a wall.
It's a tremendous wall.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Friday's with forty seven. Now, Kamla made her first big
speech in San Francisco. I don't know if a tree
falls in the forest, if it makes a sound, but
unfortunately I got the sound. I got to listen to it.
She's describing chaos, recession, and of course everyone that voted
for you living in regret that old chestnut. They're just relentless.
And then she she finally launched into a couple of

(10:58):
entertaining word salads and giggles. What do you make of you?
I noticed you said in the town hall you encouraged
Stephen A. Smith. You know he's a smart guy. He's
got a lot of viewers, and you, you know, you
encourage him to run for president. I mean, he's looking
smarter and smarter every day compared to the ones that
have lost already.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, it's unbelievable that there's somebody else that could make
Stephen A. Smith look like a rocket scientist. Right personally
used to be Skip Bayless, remember Skip.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Bayliss I do.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's a stupid guy. And he made Stephen A. Smith
look like Albert Einstein, who I got along very well
with and by the way, pulled an al right, great guy,
you did, I said, al I said, al e equals
mc squared. He said, sir, that's brilliant, right, Albert Einstetin.
What a beautiful guy that theory.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
You gave him the formula.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I gave him the formula. I said, energy equals Matt's
like Chris Christy, I'm the speed of light, Like how
fast I can run square? He said, sir, sery of relativity.
What a tremendous job. And that was the law of relativity.
It's a beautiful thing when you look at Kamala and
she makes Stephen A. Smith look like a rocket scientist.

(12:10):
And this is not a very smart guy, but he's
smarter than all these people, but she makes him look
like a rocket scientist. You know. She went into the
words salad. She talked about elephants at the zoo, She
talked about all sorts of crazy.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Nobody knows what bells he's talking about, and she doesn't
know what bells he's talking about. But we were very close,
you know, not even the election. But if something bad,
if the batteries had run out on President's photoped, she
would have been our president. That's a problem. So we
were very close. We were very close.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Like you, we all dodged the bullet there, We all
dodged the bullet, all right. Closing moments Friday's with forty seven,
you had the business leaders in future investments. You got
the mineral deal done with Ukraine. Still some unfinished business
on the terroriffs, especially China. Got a lot done first
one her days. What are the priorities moving forward?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, the priorities is to put our country first. We're
going to make America wealthy and healthy and strong and
safe and better than anybody's ever seen. It's going to
be so great. We're looking forward to that big beautiful bill.
If Congress and the Senate will maybe get to work, right,
they're thinking enough vacations, we could get to work and
past the big beautiful bill. It's going to be a

(13:23):
beautiful bill. We'll lay the foundation of the Trump Agenda
and make America great again and healthy again and safe again.
It's going to be a tremendous time. So our focus
is to MAGA right. We call it Mega make America
great again, and that is exactly what we're going to do.
It's going to be a fantastic time and the best

(13:43):
is yet to come, believe me.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
All right, So the most iconic picture may be of
this presidency. You sitting in the Vatican with Zelensky and
now the conclave set to begin to pick the next pope.
Do you get a vote in this? And if so,
who do you? If you had to pick the pope,
who would you pick? I'm going pizza baller.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, if I had to choose the next Pope, I
would choose Donald J.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Trump, Right, I.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Would be the next Pope, and uh, you know, I
think it'd be a tremendous pope. I'd be the first
pope and president. It's like being a player manager right
in baseball or one of the other sports. You know,
you look at it. I had that conversation with Zelenski.
A lot of people don't know what it was about.
But we were playing softball before that, and he slid
into first base and I said to him, listen, you

(14:31):
don't do that. Right on the Biden you can slide
into first base. That's very stupid. You don't do that.
And he said, but coach, I'm sorry. I said, you
listen to me. No more sliding into first base. We
have to win, and he said he'll never do that again.
So he got the message. If there was a new Pulpe.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
It should be me.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I should be the new Pope. And if it's not me,
it should be John Fetterman. I believe it should be
interesting looking person, very interesting.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
That's something to end on Good Friday with forty seven.
He is the commander in chief, mister President, Thank you
so much for your time.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
So thank your pitcher boy god bless.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Even picked the pope and he picked himself. Go Figure
Friday with forty seven. All right, we come back Top
five stories of the day as Your Morning Show continues
twenty two after the hour. It's Your Morning Show with
Michael del Choino. It's Friday. Good morning, gentlemen. It's been
a long, sleep deprived week for me, but worth it. It
has been interesting. As I continue my study of the
show next week Phase two and three, I will share

(15:32):
my findings. This is the guy that's giving up sleep
and listening to every second of the show. Really, that
is an experiment I've seen our time spent listening, and
Rick writes, I agree. The greatest athlete of all time.
Secretariat Joe is in Melbourne, Florida.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
I have a question, Trump forty seven on Fridays. Is
that really Donald Trump? Or is that just an impersonator
having fun?

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Thanks so much. We try to make this as clear
as we can. That is Sean Farrash, a very talented, funny,
fun friend of the show. In fact, if you ever
want him to do a message for somebody on a
birthday and anniversary, what have you go to Farache far
ashfarachemedia dot com. It is Sean Farash next up in Nashville,

(16:17):
Pizza Boy.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
I don't know how many fridays I thought that was
really Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Maybe you should clarify that with more people. I just
thought he was. He was in rare form on your show.
Well you know, hell you.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
This is Mike the Baptist in Cottontown, Tennessee. My morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dill's your note.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your Morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis or Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville and
News Talk five FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love to be
a part of your morning routine. But we're always grateful

(17:05):
you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
What a great president?

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Could you imagine?

Speaker 6 (17:09):
Putting those mugshots along that driveway?

Speaker 1 (17:12):
So all the news channels that are discussing smut that.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Print lies have their lies in their face daily. It's
a great troll. Amazing.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
I love Trump.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
I'm so glad you noticed that. I thought it was
one of the most brilliant things because these people are murderers, rapists,
drug lords, human traffickers, and you can't miss the mugshots
going up and down the drive and signed form. He
really is an amazing president. We talked about this earlier
with his address at the University of Alabama and what
he might look like through the eyes of a twenty

(17:48):
two year old. I know what Ronald Reagan looked like
through the eyes of a sixteen year old, twenty year old,
twenty two year old, it's got to be bigger than life.
My Mount Rushmore, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedynald Reagan,
and Donald Trump. It's just that simple. Jim Wrights at
Michael dietiheartmeda dot Com. Great interview with Christy Brinkley. I
am so jealous. She was delightful. Shameless plug for the podcast.

(18:10):
If you missed it, you'll find it on our podcast
and catch up on everything you may have missed this
week over the weekend, or if you're just waking up
thirty six minutes after the hour April jobs report due
out any moment, Vice President Vance says Mike Waltz was
not being fired. He's being promoted to ambassador to the
United Nations. And Florida Governor Desanta says over eleven hundred

(18:31):
arrests were made as part of the massive statewide immigration crackdown.
And we talked to great length yesterday about how big
this deal is. Not just for how it positions the
US interests in Ukraine in order to protect protect Ukraine
in the future. That sends a clear message to this
negotiation for peace with Lamir Putin, But what about the

(18:53):
minerals themselves and what that means for our economic future. Now,
no one's got a crystal ball, except of course, for
Kevin Surreally. Mike Paison from Meet the Future at MTF
dot TV because he's a futurist.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
This is huge.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
These are things we really need, right.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
Kevin, Oh my gosh, it's so important. I mean, if
there's one number I would ask folks to remember this morning,
it's seventy percent. Seventy percent of all of the United
States rare earth imports comes from one.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Country, China, and so the United States has.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
To diversify its reliance on rare earth minerals, and it's
looking to places like Ukraine in order to do that.
I think a lot of times when we hear rare
earth minerals, we think of minds, and we don't really
know what they're used for. But they're not just used
for military and our national security defense systems, which are
incredibly important. I don't want to downplay how important they are,

(19:46):
but they're also used to build every single device that
we're on the phone, that I'm talking to you on
the studio, that you're sitting in, a kid's lapsop when
they're going to school. Think of how much our technology
has increased, just even in the last two decades. It's
not built out of thin air.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
It's built by rare earth minerals. Kevin.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
It's hard to see the future without understanding the past,
which is what I love about you, and I think
you've done that in that opening volley.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
You.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
So the truth of the matter is it was never
a wise move to be dependent upon enemies for our energy.
And we saw that blow up so simple, doesn't it
with the Holy War? And so now if we can't
be dependent on China, a clear economic and I think
military enemy, that's what they've been doing with their money

(20:32):
for the very things of our technology. I mean, this
is really history repeating itself, but revealing the future. And
this is a key part. My question to you is
does this actually no? First my first question, how much
do you look at the past to understand the future.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
I mean, I think you have to. I think you
have to.

Speaker 8 (20:51):
And I think even just the word Silicon Valley, I
mean silicon the first word in it.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
That was why they named it.

Speaker 8 (20:57):
Is because of a rareer mineral that they were able
to find out there order to be able to be
self reliant and to build a new economic engine.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
I mean it.

Speaker 8 (21:07):
And so that's number one. And then even just look
at the gold Rush we remember, I mean, it's no joke.
But now we're mining for digital currency on different platforms.
So all of this is incredibly important. And the domains
that we cover in order to explore the digital domain
are still built on devices and those devices come from

(21:29):
rare earth minerals.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Okay, By the way, Kevin Sirilli is the founder of
Meet the Future. It's a website MTF dot tv. We
found them, we had them on, we fell in love
with him. Somehow Premiere figured them out and now they're present. Great,
I mean, I want I want more people to hear
your boys all right now, the big heady questions. Does
this point too that Donald Trump is playing a much

(21:52):
bigger game, in other words, the tariff game with our friends.
That's going to be resolved quickly. But who's going to
be left standing on the sidelines as China. He's ready
to play this out and these minerals are enabled will
enable him to replace him. This isn't much and whether
that even ends with and then once you get all
the trade figured out, guess what, you don't need income
tax anymore at all? Could that be the play? And

(22:15):
does he have enough time to pull it off?

Speaker 8 (22:17):
Well, whether or not he has enough time to pull
it off really depends on the midterms and the hosts
of other calculations. But yes, that is the play. When
I speak to the Trump advisors, they say specifically and listen,
there's a there's an open debate within the Trump.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
World orbit about whether or not the rollout.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
Of the tariffs was something that was good economically.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
But even whether or not.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
It was, it was not. It was not especially politically,
it was not.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
But the one area where they where there's agreement and
alignment is why didn't he just target China, specifically China,
because that potentially could have even helped him politically, but
instead of going after so many folks. But we are
in such a long, long You used it correctly, but
I would even take it one step further. I would

(23:07):
use the words economic war. And when China is deploying
economic war craft against not just America, but the American worker,
I think that the American worker, and candidly the American
middle class, whether they're working in blue collar jobs or
white collar jobs, needs to be better understood from the

(23:29):
press just about how China is deploying economic war against us.
And you know, of course, I'm going to put a
futuristic spin on this. Look at the humanoid robots that
they're developing. Look at their yesterday this week. The mainstream
media didn't cover this. There was they sent a laser
from China to a satellite and orbiting the Moon to

(23:51):
test their laser capabilities. They're trying to mine the Moon.
We're talking about mining Ukraine. They're trying to mine the
Moon for titanium, ultimately building supply chains from here to
the Moon. I mean, talk about strategic advantage. You can
just dust off the Revolutionary War history lesson where it was,
get to the top of the hill in order to
secure the geography.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Well, and I got a statue behind me of John F.
Kennedy and he would tell you space is going to
be owned by someone, and it is the final definitive
position to own, and it's either owned by the good
guys or it's owned by the bad guys. I'm going
to take it one step further, and I'll do it
from this standpoint. I think had the President targeted China first,

(24:35):
follow me on this, Kevin, Had he targeted them first,
that would have been declaring war economically on China. But
by targeting everyone, it leaves China choosing to be the
last one isolated in other words, instead of isolating China
by taking the month to do this, and it was
our rocky road financially, but by taking the months to
do that, it makes China isolate themselves. I think it's

(24:59):
actually brilliant, and I've sent that out of the deal
from the beginning. How oft am I.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
Well, no, I think it's a great point. I think
specific and yeah, I hear you, I mean definitely there
are folks here in town who would agree with that analysis.
And I hear you a loud and clear I think
even when you look at what the COVID nineteen pandemic
laid there, I remember, you know, interviewing lawmakers at that
time up on the hill. I mean, was the over
reliance on the supply chain to China for pharmaceutical companies

(25:27):
and just medicine, I mean even the chemicals. You think,
I think a lot of people just because it's small
doesn't mean that the ingredients don't come from different parts
of the world. And so if one part of your
pill or one part of your semiconductor chip in your
phone comes from China and the rest comes from Taiwan

(25:48):
or even Australia or other parts or Latin America, for
that matter, if one link in the chain is your adversary,
can you really trust the technology that you use or
the sin that you put in your mouth. I remember
as a kid that used to say, Oh, America is
safe because we've got the.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Great pond between our ocean, you.

Speaker 8 (26:07):
Know, the Atlantic Ocean. I'm sorry, the great pond between us. Well, now,
the battle on the digital frontier is quite literally in
the palm of your hand, in your smartphone, and so
we have to start thinking of geography as the digital
frontier and protecting the digital domain.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I want to conclude with this, is it possible from
a legacy standpoint, from a significance profound significant standpoint, that
Donald Trump won't be able to top this. This may
be one of the most consequential deals a president has
cut in history, this Ukraine mineral deal, and nobody in
the media gets it and knows how to explain it.

Speaker 8 (26:45):
I would agree that the media has not done a
good job explaining.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
This because it.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
Allows for the United States to be intricately intertwined economically
from a capitalism for and that's going to outlast Vladimir.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Putin and no longer dependent upon an enemy for the
natural resources we need for the way we live today.
How about that.

Speaker 8 (27:11):
I don't think you're yeah, and I don't think Europe
too disappointed that Hijing Ping and Vladimir Putin aren't controlling
their gas station in terms of the pipeline that for
their energy. You know, I call them the sotalitarian twins,
Chijing Ping and Vladimir Putin and them coz eating up

(27:31):
to one another in Ukraine with North Korea, by the way,
is alarming. And so this deal says, well, America shows up.
We do business, we don't do war.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Well, you know, it was kind of insanity to depend
on enemies for our energy, obviously, especially when it was
right under our feet. But this is Donald Trump securing
what we did physically lack so that we don't have
to be dependent. I think it's pretty significant stuff. Every
time I talk to you, Kevin, I get this same note.
So here's the deal. I want you to root for

(28:03):
Sandman in the Kentucky Derby this weekend, and I want
you to pray about me being on the show weekly.
That's how good you are. That's how much we need
to hear your face so much.

Speaker 8 (28:11):
Pray, Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I love you, Kevin. I'm so glad to see Premiere
is giving you the rounds. Go knock him dead. This
is your Morning Show with Michael DELTRONA. Well, the job
support came out one hundred and seventy seven thousand jobs.
What was expected. One hundred and thirty three thousand jobs.
Job support out. Everybody expecting it to be down higher

(28:34):
than expected. Meanwhile, President Trump assigned an executive order aimed
at cutting off taxpayer funding to NPR and PBS.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Trump said in the order that government funding of news
media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary,
but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence. The White
House said on its X profile that outlets receive millions
from taxpayers to spread what it called radical, woke propaganda
disguise his news. The broadcaster receive upwards of half a

(29:01):
billion dollars through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm Mark Mayfield. There's a little game going on The
Atlantic and its editor Goldberg. Somehow weaseled his way into
a national foreign policy military strike signal conversation. We call
it signal Gate. The goal destroy Mike Waltz and destroy
our Secretary of Defense. It hasn't happened, and David and

(29:27):
I laid out to you what the Atlantic has been doing. Yesterday.
They pounced on the news of Mike Walls leaving as
Security Advisor and took a victory lap, only to have
the Vice President of the United States go on Fox
News last night and announce he wasn't fired at all,
he was promoted.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
I think the media wants to frame this as a firing.
Donald Trump has fired a lot of people. He doesn't
give them senec confirmed appointments afterwards. What he thinks is
that Mike Waltz is going to better serve the administration
most importantly of the American people in that role, and
I haven't agree with him.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
In a post, Trump said that in the interim Secretary
of statem Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor while
continuing his strong leadership in the State Department. Vance says
Trump simply decided Waltz could better serve the country elsewhere.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
That's the President deciding a guy who's a very good guy,
and Mike Waltz could do a better job at a
different role.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It's the one hundred and fifty first running of the
Kentucky Derby. They're run for the Roses at Churchill Down.
The favorite to win is Journalism won the Santa Anita
Derby at three to one odds. Other favorites sovereignty at
five to one. Mister sand Men, that is my pick
at sixty to one. Post time, Churchill down six fifty

(30:36):
seven Eastern five to fifty seven Central should be an
off track. Coverage begins on NBC at two thirty and
streaming on the Peacock. Finally, it's National Space Day and
Brittennas says, one more reason why.

Speaker 9 (30:49):
We have this day to day recognizes advancements and achievements
in space exploration. It promotes math, science, technology, and engineering,
all things required for people to go to space. Last year,
more than eight thousand people applied for the NASA Astronaut
Program twelve to sixteen were selected.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
And if you go, you might not be alone.

Speaker 9 (31:09):
UFOs have been reported by many astronauts while in space,
but NASA isn't talking. I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Let's bring back in National correspondent Jason Campedonia joining us.
There's a whole other thing that you're not privy to
that we've been kind of rolling out. It's a manifesto
that appeared in the Atlantic, and somehow after creating Signal Gate,
they end up in the Oval Office with Donald Trump,
and while they think they're playing Trump, Trump's really playing them.

(31:35):
And that kind of played out yesterday. I mean, the
word was WHOA, what's up? Waltz? It was his fault.
He's finally getting it for signal Gate. No, he's getting
ambassador to the United Nations. But the delay in which
making it clear, it set the Atlantic up to look
a little stupid. Is there a game going on or
why was it communicated in the way that it was

(31:56):
because he's out as National Security Advisor, but he's not
out at all.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
Right, And you know, you really have to look at
it as Donald Trump is always going to be Donald
Trump businessman before he's anything else, before he's president, before
his father, before his husband, before he's anything, he is
businessman twenty.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Four seven three sixty five.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
So if you fire somebody that looks bad on the organization,
that looks bad on the product they're trying to sell
to the American people, which is Donald Trump. So if
you put him in front of a firing squad of
Democrats and they don't confirm him to be US ambassador
to the UN. Then you they fire him or kind

(32:39):
of wash his hands.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, because that's a tricky part of the whole of
the whole thought process, Jason, is that if you make
him ambassador to the UN, he's going to be involved
in foreign relations. And if the blunder was a military blunder,
well you could say you remove him from the military
hands on apparatus where his mistake was made, and you
put a more you know, of his value in a

(33:03):
negotiation statesman in communicating with other nations. But either way
you make a valid point, you get rid of him.
Either way he's out of that position or members of
Congress don't approve him to move on to you an ambassador.
But I don't. I think the numbers are there for
him to end up you an ambassador. Sure you and
I think you're right there too.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
But again it's it's moving, it's moving parts away so
they're not so much in the limelight. And you point out,
you know that, you know, maybe he doesn't have direct
communication and war plans, like let's let's take that away
from him. You know, Hey, great guy, great on the
golf course. Love to have a beer rhythm.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
But yeah, I mean, the bottom line is, now, how
did Jeffrey Goldberg end up on anyone's phone to be
fat thumbed into that signal conversation? Now there's another side
of the coin too, which is, and this has happened
to me personally, you accidentally get on a thread, you
don't open it, and you notified them that you were
excellently That's what I do personally. But he didn't. He

(34:05):
went on, he listened, and then he posted the transcript
after the fact. Jeffrey Goldberg is a loser in all this,
But why do you create signal Gate, take a victory
lap over Walt's getting fired, and to have it spun
to ambassador instead. I think we're still on that same
there's still something going on, just like I think a
lot of this trade stuff had to do with China

(34:25):
was going to put twelve thousand dollars cheap EV vehicles
flooding our country from Mexico and that that's what started
the president's journey. And then something between the Atlantic is
brewing here. But bottom line is Waltz is out kind
of right.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yeah, most definitely, he's definitely gonna have Some of his
security clients were about, yes, I think so.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Jason Campadonia was fun visitically today. All right, that's it.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
We're all in this together.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
