Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey gang, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning. But glad you're here now for
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Enjoy starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding different because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill Jordan seven
minutes after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, May the sixth.
Yeah about No.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Twenty twenty six on the air, streaming live on your
iHeartRadio EP. This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno,
honored to serve you well. You mess with the bull,
you getting the horns. Just ask five members of the
state Senate incumbents in Indiana, all targeted by Trump and
MAGA donors and room losing in primaries. Last night, we
(01:00):
get to the Ohio setup. Sharrod Brown shared. Brown will
take on John Houston and Vivic Ramaswami will take on
the COVID Gestapo Amy acton in the governor's races. Primaries
were held yesterday in Indiana and Ohio, and we just
got started with Project Freedom, but it's been put on
(01:21):
pause at the direction of President Trump in hopes of
progress for a diplomatic solution with Iran and more attention
being pointed towards China to get that straight. Afore moves open.
And it looks like there's now a direct effect between
how much we're paying at the pump today. That'll change tomorrow. Already,
the futures are headed down, and if things are resolved
(01:43):
in the Middle East, they'll stay down. But for now,
if you're paying more at the pump, that means you're
paying more at the restaurant. Rory o'neils here to explain.
Good morning, Rory.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Hey, they're good morning, Michael. And yeah, just as Mother's
Day weekend approaches, it looks like restaurant prices are up,
but restaurant traffic is also going down.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
For households, there's just.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So much disposable income, and gas costs and fuel costs
are eating into that. So we're seeing a pretty significant
drop off in some restaurant sales as people opt to
eat at home or find something that's more affordable, maybe downsizing,
say let's take mom out for dessert rather than the
full on Sunday brunch treatment because of these higher costs.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, the energy topic, it's often the answer is all
of the above, though you know, we like to politicize
different things. Clearly, if energy is up, everything's going to
be up. That's how things get from point A to
point B. So we could angle this to everything. But yeah,
the latest is restaurants and restaurants is interesting because well,
(02:48):
my diet kind of pointed me away from restaurants along
with prices that are greatly inflated, and then with the
inflated price becomes the inflated tip. So I mean we've
kind of cut restaurants completely out of our life along
with thirty pounds. But how long? You know, we often say, okay, well,
why is it the oil prices are going down but
(03:10):
it's not getting the pump? Does it ever go back
to where it was? Can we say the same about restaurants?
Will people get used to paying more at restaurants and
so even when the fuel prices go down, the prices
might go down with it at the restaurants are just
don't steady if they can get away with it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, restaurants do have some flexibility in that they can
change their menus when things are more affordable, right, you know,
you take off instead of two tomatoes, you get one.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That kind of a thing.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
But they measure it where when gas hits four dollars
twenty cents a gallon, there's about one point five percent
fewer visits to restaurants. They predict that if a get
does go up to five ten or more a gallon,
there could be a three percent dropped in traffic. And
you know, restaurants don't operate on much of a margin,
so those even those small numbers can be significant.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, I mean restaurants only have labor cost and food costs,
and the food costs goes up on the end when
the end, yeah, and the end, and well that's part
of the hard cost. But so you know the reality
is when we look at restaurants in the in the future,
it could have been interesting had because you have to
you brought up something very profound. We talk about shrinkation
(04:19):
and inflation, and that's when they shrink the portion size.
That would have been good for America's health, but not
many did that. Most chose to raise prices, and that's
where like McDonald's, for example, I sit at so many
restaurants where I get a much better meal for the
same price that that quarter pound or with cheese frying
a coke would have cost. I don't know, at some
(04:41):
point they're gonna have to relook at their whole model
when this is all sorted out and set some of them,
some of.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Them are revisiting value menus. We've seen new value met
new rollouts by McDonald's and by Taco Bell in just
the past month or two. And at the same time,
we're seeing people indulge when they can. You know, there
is a really a big national number you can follow,
but you know, people tend to go out for ice
cream more often when times are tight because it's that small,
(05:06):
little affordable treat. We do see that Starbucks sow about
a seven percent quarterly same store sales growth in North America,
which many say is people going, oh, all right, I'll
treat myself to that whipped creamy whatever cup of sugar
for that one or two times, versus you know, something
more elaborate with a sit down dinner.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You know, you bring up assassinations and everybody thinks, well,
three potential attempts on our president in the United States,
they're worried about it. At the Kremlin, they're tightening security
around Vladimir Putin. Bory has that story coming up later
in the third hour, and he was singled out by
Marco Rubio, who was filling in for Caroline Levitt yesterday
as Press Secretary. John Decker will join us next half
(05:48):
hour from the White House. President Trump will be going
to China later this month. The White House correspondent will
be on the trip with him. On Tuesday, Decker asked
the President what he hopes to get out of the trip.
I think seeing a directional shift towards China and being
a solution in bringing this whole Iranian situation and operation
(06:09):
to a conclusion. After all, Iran is their proxy. Get
your proxy in line. I have to believe that's the
goal of the president's trip and why the President himself
is going to be going all right, can't have your
morning show without your voice? Wouldn't dare have your morning
show without your voice? Use that talkback button on the
iHeartRadio app. It's a little microphone. You press it. We
(06:29):
think talk readers should be a conversation again, and like
reading texts or just emails, call, you got thirty seconds
to make your comment, ask a question, take your place
at a kitchen table that belongs to you. So let's
start in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
David talking about your teachers and cell phone bans. Well, yeah,
maybe two years of study and that's what you got
out of that answer. But we've been manipulated and brain
rotted our kids for eight nine years or even.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Their whole lives.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So we got to get rid of their short attips
spam before they can achieve their goals.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, frighteningly, more like five decades. I got this from
a teacher just to set the answer up. An educator
privy to student IQ scores and test scores. She makes
this point the average IQ. By the way, have any
(07:27):
of you have either of you two ever done an
IQ test? No, I don't think two things. I'll warn
you when you do one. They will drive you crazy
with spam afterwards, especially if you test high. But everybody
you know, I like, I don't. I don't know my
blood type. Do you know your blood type? I do
not know my blood type? Seeing that funny how we
(07:48):
don't know our blood type. We don't know our Q.
I still got to figure out what my blood type is.
But I did. I did get an IQ score. The
average IQ in the last twenty five years has dropped.
The average used to be ninety to one hundred and nine.
The average IQ is now eighty five to one fifteen.
Isn't that interesting that the high end actually went up
(08:10):
and the low end went down. They keep moving the
goal post factor in. This is where she gives a
complete look. And I want to add to what David
points out years decades of indoctrination and socialization over education.
We went through off the air red AI and I'm
(08:31):
talking about very prestigious schools just so happens to be
the state that we live in. And we're familiar with
McAuley and Chattanooga. I brought up Ensburg and Ensworth and
Harpethal and Battleground Academy and so on. None of them
(08:52):
were over forty thousand. Most of them were in the thirties. Now,
these are very very high quality preparatory schools. They get it.
It's about learning, it's about achieving. Their goal is to
(09:12):
prepare you as a citizen of the United States. Prepare
you for the workforce or prepare you for the next
level of education. And that's the only focus. And these
graduates graduate and they go to prestigious universities and they
go on to prestigious jobs. All right, So and you
can get that I mean Ensworth, am I not saying
(09:36):
it right? Ensworth? It's Endsworth, isn't it. That's where what's
his name's kid goes the what's his name herb Street, Kirkbstreet.
I've been to that campus. That campus is unbelievable. Reminds
me of what they went to Montgomery Bell No Ensworth.
(09:59):
But anyway, I'm thinking, you know, I mean, if you
saw their pool, if you saw their library, if you
saw their football stadium, if you saw their classrooms, i mean,
it's just amazing, just amazing, Like it's like being on
the Belmont campus. It's just like colleges just don't look
like this. And then I'm looking at New York City
where they're getting They're spending forty thousand dollars a year
per pupil to not get an outstanding education, to get
(10:24):
a failed education. So money is not the solution. But yes,
you have the indoctrination element. You have we keep throwing money,
or socialization or wokeness or indoctrination. Meanwhile, we have the
breakdown of the family continuing, we have mental illness, we
have the social dilemma. Yeah, this one falls under all
(10:46):
of the above. But isn't it interesting that they thought, well,
we got to get these phones out of the classrooms
and the end of the study was, you know what
they were looking for. We banned phones, and scores went
up and they didn't. In fact, for a short period
of time, behavior got worse, suspensions went up. But the
bottom line is test scores didn't rise, and we just
(11:11):
left it with the question, okay, so if it's not
the phone. And by the way, Red brought up something
earlier that we wanted to mention on the earth. The teachers,
no matter how the study results came out, they loved it.
Not because the kids weren't listening anymore or achieving anymore.
They just liked it was better for them. They felt
(11:34):
like there were less distractions. A cynical way of looking
at it is they liked not having anybody able to
film them doing some of these Isn't it funny? I mean,
you got to ask yourself, when did we finally turn
to this phone band after a lot of teachers in
COVID got exposed, after a lot of non textbook related
(11:59):
and boy, they've been changed curriculum. I don't know if
these phones were designed to get test scores up as
much as in class videos down. One was achieved and
they like it. The other was not, and his parents
you shouldn't like it. There was no solution, and we
all know what the problem is. But if the government
(12:23):
can't succeed at educating our children, maybe they shouldn't be
in the business any longer. And I love teachers out
there's some great teachers out there listening right now. But
collectively we're clearly not hitting the mark. We're not preparing
students for higher education in the workforce or citizenry, or
(12:44):
not even prepared to compete globally. And so far, all
we know is money's not the answers C. New York
City cell phone bans are not the answers C. This
Stanford University of Michigan Prestigious Study Youngstown, Ohio is next.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Hey, Michael, I was listening to ABC News last night
and they.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Said that gas prices are five dollars a gallon.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Man I'm glad I listened to ABC News last night,
or I wouldn't have known that.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
When the heck did that happen? Well, don't worry. I
have just a solution for you. The gas prices are
about to go down dramatically and stay down forever, and
they won't hear about the gas prices on ABC anymore.
It's just a narrative tool, you know. I used to
think of a mattress like like a piece of furniture.
And I don't know how often we all, right, time
to get a new couch, Oh, time to get a
new mattress. Well, then mattress, it became like ten thousand dollars,
(13:35):
and there's so many good luck And then I got
to go sped. Wasn't ten thousand, wasn't wasn't even barely
over ten percent of that? And I felt the difference immediately.
This is a family that has made beds mattresses for
(13:56):
over one hundred years, and the one person in the
entire family tree that wasn't a maker, he was an
engineer created ghost bed They're engineered sleep systems. Their beds
are serious pieces of health equipment. Why because beds are
designed for relief and recovery. That's the purpose of sleep. Oh,
you know you got to eat right. You know you
got to exercise, you know you gotta hydrate. Guess what,
(14:19):
you don't sleep well, you're not going to live long.
So if you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning sleeping hot,
and our cooling technology is second to none, or maybe
you're reaching for pills before you even go to bed,
that's not your age, that's your mattress. Try a ghost bed.
(14:41):
We'll let you sleep out at one hundred and one nights.
And if you don't love your ghost bet as much
as I do, you can send it back risk free.
That's how confident we are you're going to love it.
And I already talked about how affordable these luxury beds
mattresses are. Ghost Bed is offering you my audience, their
lowest price of the season, plus an extra ten percent off.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We want to welcome in Vatteville, Arkansas, Freedom FM one
oh one point five Northwest Arkansas first FM news talk
station k XVB. Welcome to the your morning show family,
And like the rest of this country, you have a

If you're just waking up, these are your top five
(15:52):
stories of the day. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in
addition to being Press Secretary yesterday, is headed to the
Vatican visit with Pope Leo.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Well filling in for Press Secretary Caroline Levit while she's
on maternity leave. Rubio insisted his upcoming trip was planned
before the reason back and forth between Leo and President Trump.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
No, look, there's a lot to talk about with a Battican.
I'll give you one example. The Pope just returned from
a trip to Africa, where the church is growing very vibrantly,
and we have shared concerns about religious freedom, religious freedom
in different parts of the world.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
We'd love to talk to them about that.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Rubio says he plans to talk to the Pope about
getting humanitarian aid to Cuba through the church and other topics.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Hope.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Leo has been critical of the US military operations in Iran,
leading Trump to claim that Leo thinks it's just fine
for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
A Mark Meefield, Pope's going to have his hands full.
New research shows that banning cell phones and schools has
improved students' mental well being, but it has an improved
test scores.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
A nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research looked at thousands
of schools and found that grades and attendance haven't improved.
About two thirds of the states have laws limiting the
use of cell phones on campus in some form or another.
I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I'm a Ando Mouths in Smyrna, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your morning show with Michael Dale journal.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hi. It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or thrilled you
here now enjoy the podcast. The developments concerning Iran one
Mark Rubio filling in for Caroline Levitt on Maternity Leap,
(17:43):
basically proclaiming that Operation Epic Theory is over, victory has
been achieved, all the objectives have been achieved. Then we
get the announcement the Project Freedom is being paused at
the direction of President Trump in hopes of making progress
and diplomatic talks with the Ron might have to have
Stephen Buci back on this. But what I love about
this is I think the accountability and responsibility is being
(18:10):
turned to China now early on. This is an international
waterway and it belongs not to Iran, and they shouldn't
be allowed to block it. So it should be the
world's problem to solve, just like Iran as a nuclear
threat is a world problem to solve. Donald Trump seems
to be the only one with the couraged enough to
do it. This holds Russia and China accountable. After all,
(18:31):
Iran is their proxy and they are most dependent on
what comes through that straight So I like that the
attention and accountability is turning to China, where the President
will be heading very very soon to visit with the
Chinese government. Another close call, this time at another New
York airport. Second in two days. We have the top
(18:52):
seven candidates and the governor's race in California debating tonight,
and as I just mentioned, the President announcing that he'll
be going to China later this month. In fact, John Decker,
our White House correspondent, will be on that trip with him.
I suspect the Strait of Hormuz might come up in
the conversations.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
John, Oh, it's going to come up, for sure, you know.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
The Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessett, in an interview
that he did on Fox News on Monday, said it's
now at the top of the agenda.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
That's how important it is.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
And I think what the US realizes is that China
holds the key to this to a certain extent because
they rely on so much oil coming out of the
Persian Gulf, specifically through the Strata Formus, and they have
so much influence with Iran, so they can push Ran
to the negotiating table number one and number two. Most importantly,
they can force Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, we deal with all of Iran's proxies all the time,
and the President has done a great job of diminishing
their threat Hamas has Bela and others. But we often
forget Iran is Russia and China's proxy. So you know,
that's right, get your proxy in. But it's also a
long term vulnerability for China too. I mean, we know
that iron is losing five hundred million dollars a day.
(20:08):
China doesn't want this to last too long either, So
why don't we go straight to the horse's mouth and
negotiate this. I like this turn of events.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Yeah, the timing is really good. The timing is good
in terms of the President's meeting with President she. You know,
this is a meeting that was postponed. I think that
if it happened when it was scheduled to happen, this
would not be at the top of the agenda because
closing the straighter from moves wasn't the issue that it
is right now and the impact that we see on
oil prices around the world, on gas prices right here
(20:39):
in the US that continue to go up. So timing
is good. And the President answered my question yesterday about
how he will discuss this issue with President she.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
I asked him that in an oval office yesterday.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
I don't think he wants to essentially go down the
road of negotiating with President she in public, but he
clearly is going to bring up this issue during his
with President she next week.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
We're not the only ones that love these developments. So
do the futures. Tao's futures up five hundred, Nasdaq two
fifty eight, Brent krude is down seven point seven percent,
Texas Intermediate down nine percent, trading at ninety three dollars
a barrel. Somewhere around eighty to ninety is where you
want oil to be. So these are all very good developments.
I got to tell you, I spent much of the
(21:24):
early first hour, which we call the platinum hour of
the show ye talking about Marco Rubio. That wasn't look
He's had a lot of extraordinary moments. He's been given
a lot of extraordinary tests. But this fun fill in
for Caroline Levitt. I don't know he may end up
being President of the United States because of the way
he behaved as it There was so much John F.
(21:44):
Kennedy and the joking and the demeanor and the intelligence
and the ability to explain very complex things in a
very easy way to understand. What was the like? I
noticed he chose you to be the very first question,
gave you our time, ended up liking both questions so
much he answered both. But before you get to that,
just what was it like in the room, because my
observation was this guy special.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Well, I can tell you what it was like in
the room number one, Michael, and then I can tell
you the feedback that I heard from my White House colleagues.
First of all, in the room, a lot of buzz
because Mark Rubio had not done one.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Of these events before.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
We know that the Vice President has, so there are
going to be some comparisons in that regard. But we
also know that I think that with Secretary of Rubio,
his experience as a senator debating in the Senate really
is helpful to him in terms of this format.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
In the briefing, room. So he did very well Number one.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
Number two feedback that I heard was very positive for
Mark Rubio. Now I think it's a little bit too
early to talk about him as president. There's a process
for that. There's a nomination fight that will take place.
But he certainly did himself a lot of favors. Yes,
with the way that he presented himself yesterday in the brief.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
I agree. I was very pleased he took my question yesterday.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yes too, even but he gave you a hard time.
He said, I'm only gonna give you one answer. I'll
pick the one I like most. That he liked your
Cuba questions so much as I like both questions, I'll
give you to answers. It was a great, great exchange,
and the fact that he chose you first does remind
me of the favor that you have gained, an access
you have gained to your credit, this White House and
(23:21):
administration appreciate you very much. I said it, you didn't,
all right. So I've been making this thing. You know,
president comes from The Apprentice, which really comes from the
way he did business, and so they turned it into
a reality show and these people are given tasks and
then they're judged on those tasks. Maybe they're fired or
they're hired later. They did it with celebrities and it
got a lot more interesting. I have sensed from the
(23:43):
beginning that Marco is the President's guy. That's why he
has so many jobs. But he kind of has apprenticed this.
You know, we're noticing that JD gets tasks, Rubio gets tasked.
I feel like the President's trying to help us with
the choice and if that was a task. I don't
even remember talking to you about when JD. Vans did
(24:04):
the press that held the press room, and yet here
we are talking about Marco. I mean, I think I
know which one did better, or at least in my opinion,
in your colleagues opinion, Do you sense the president's doing
this or am I the only one that feels like
we're playing apprentice with JD and Marco? Oh?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Absolutely? You remember that program.
Speaker 11 (24:23):
You know, it was so highly rated when it was
in its prime, and I think that that's a little
bit of what we're seeing right now. The president likes
these tests. He likes to see how people perform under pressure.
I don't know if the president necessarily is going to
put his thumb on the scale, And don't forget lurking
in the background, Michael, a guy named Donald Trump Junior.
(24:44):
What will happen with him? Will he enter the race
for the Republican nomination? I am being very serious when
I raise that as a possibility.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
We shall see.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
It's going to be an interesting process that takes place
in a few years.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, Marco keeps getting the challenges and he keeps exceeding
the expectations. That's good for him anyway. I think it
could be good ultimately for the country. All Right, So
coming up today on the White House Briefing Room, we're
going to be talking about Marco Rubio and how he performed.
We're going to be talking about the President deciding to
end that process of trying to reopen the straight off moves,
(25:21):
going the diplomatic route essentially, and those two things will
certainly dominate the discussions today on the White House Briefing Room.
And thank you so much for giving that podcast. Only
eleven minutes long. It's easy to digest, and it's, as.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
You know, completely unbiased, and that's the way I think people.
Speaker 10 (25:40):
Like to hear their news.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I do too, all Right. The White House Briefing Room
Search forard on your iHeartRadio app. When you find it,
give it a program position. That way, it's waiting for
you every morning. It'll be up by eight Central, nine Eastern. John,
behind your back. I'm going to play the clip right
now of Marco Rubio calling on you. All right, So
that sounds great. The listeners will enjoy that. We'll talk
again tomorrow, all right. So it was. It was interesting.
(26:02):
The thing about Marco Rubio that if I have to
cut to the chase, I see a lot of JFK
and him and I always have. His ability to joke
and use humor to relax everybody. The way he interacts
in a human experience is a great strength, like it
(26:22):
was for Kennedy. They are both very smart people. Both
were very are very good at explaining very complex things
in a way that is easy to understand. Not all
brilliant people are good at that. There have been a
lot of smart presidents who couldn't articulate and win hearts
(26:46):
and minds, and that is something that is you know,
Donald Trump is great at doing the right thing, he
is not great at saying the right thing, and he's
not always great in explaining complex that. Now the president
can say anything to the MAGA crowd and to those
of us who love him because we get it. But
(27:10):
Marco Rubio speaks to opponents, adversaries, enemies, including those who
support other candidates, in a way that reaches them, that
makes him very uniquely jfk ish. But the moment I
want to choose to highlight here is of all the
(27:30):
people he calls on. First, of course, it's our John Decker.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Listen, all right, can I So there's no way I
can figure out who to call on.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm just going to like.
Speaker 10 (27:37):
Press right in the middle, right there, you right there, Yeah,
in the back road.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'll go to you next.
Speaker 11 (27:44):
We go ahead, Thank you, going right, welcome to the
White House.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah to you, Yes, sir, thank you.
Speaker 11 (27:53):
I have two questions on two separate issues that coming down.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Two questions. For these two questions.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
There's a lot of people in there, the whole lot
of Europe.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, well you ask it. You can ask me
two questions.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I'll give you one answer, right very much, and I'll
pick the one I like better.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Thank you with your secretary the first.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Now, after all that, he gets two really great questions,
and he gets two really brilliant, substantive answers very JFK
like this Marco Rubio, and if the president's playing apprentice,
at least on playing press secretary, big victory for Marco
(28:28):
Ruby over JD. Vans In my humble opinion, listen, I
want every father and grandfather listening right now to hear this. Clearly,
there are websites right now where anyone, and I mean anyone,
can look up your home address, find the names of
your spouse, your children, map out where you live, the
(28:51):
daily routines of yours and your family members. Data brokers
build that database, and they do it without your permission,
without your knowledge, and they profit from it every single day.
That's not just a privacy problem. As a man of
faith who takes responsibility to protect my family, seriously, it's
(29:12):
a threat that simply couldn't be ignored. And I turned
to Incognitate. Now I depend on Incognate to protect me,
my daughters, and my son and my family, and you
should too. They will send legal removal request to hundreds
and hundreds of these companies on your behalf, and they
keep fighting because they keep trying to come back. They
(29:33):
removed my information from five hundred and thirty eight data
broker sites in the first forty eight hours, and every
day I go to my dashboard and they're stand after
him and they're finding new ones. Protect yourself and your family.
It should be outraged and outraged into taking a real simple,
affordable action. Go to incognit dot com, I ncogni in

It's your Morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Good morning and welcome to Wednesday. Made the sixth the
alt Load twenty twenty six, fifty two minutes after the hour.
This is your Morning Show on Michael del Journal. President
Trump says the US is pausing Project Freedom. I thought
it just begun. Well, it's in order to perpetuate a agreement,
a final agreement with Iran. Mark Mayfield reports on our
top story in.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
The operation the Navy was escorting ships through the Strait
of Horn moves. Trump said the request to pause it
came from Pakistan and other countries to see if an
agreement with Iran can be reached. Trump said the US
blocade on Iran would remain in full force and effect.
Iran called Project Freedom a violation of the ceasfire I'm
Mark Neethew.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
FBI Director Cash Pttel is criticizing Arizona authorities for keeping
the FBI out of the early stages of the Nancy
Guthrie investigation.
Speaker 12 (31:09):
Bettel tells Sean Hannity that the Bureau offered help immediately,
but was excluded from things for four days. Pe mc
County cheff Chris Natos rejects that claim, saying an FBI
Task Force member was notified the night Guthrie disappeared and
worked alongside Deputies Antos emphasizing that both his department and
the Guthrie family promptly contacted the FBI that the investigation
remains collaborative and evidence driven. Guthrie, mother of Today co
(31:32):
ancher Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing from her home in
Tucson February first. Investigators believe she was targeted no suspects
have been identified. I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Another close call again in New York Airport, second in
two days.
Speaker 13 (31:46):
It happened Monday at JFK International Airport. As original Delta
flight operated by Endeavor Air was coming in for a landing.
An air traffic controller warned the pilot that a small
Serrus plane was just five hundred feet above of his flight,
flying way too close. Pilots on both planes were ordered
to maintain their positions. They did, avoiding a mid air
(32:07):
collision less than twenty five hundred feet off the ground.
This near miss happened just one day after a United
Airlines jet hit a light pole and tractor trailer on
the New Jersey Turnpike Sunday as it was landing. The
FAA investigating. I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I don't have to remind you. It was a similar
small plane that was flying close to a Columbia seven
forty seven in Airport seventy five when that pilot had
a heart attack, drifted up and hit the cockpit of
the Columbia jet that would later crash land after Chuck
Heston was inserted at the cock We're going to go
there again.
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I can't stop what I can't stop watching it. Nancy,
go to the next door in Nancy. Do what you do, baby,
do what you do.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
New research shows the banning cell phones and schools has
improved students mental overall well being. However, hasn't done a
thing for test scores.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
The nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research looked at thousands
of schools and found that grades and attendance haven't improved.
About two thirds of the states have laws limiting the
use of cell phones on campus in some form or another.
I'm Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Not only are the Rolling Stones still performing? Wait a minute,
let me start over. Not only are the Rolling Stones
still alive? There out with.
Speaker 15 (33:26):
A new album, The World's.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
Greatest Rock and Roll Band and Thuns That Foreign Tongues,
will be released on July and tenth. It features fourteen songs,
including collaborations with Paul McCartney and Robert Smith of The Cure.
The album will also include a special contribution from the
late Charlie Watts, taken from one of his last recording
sessions before his twenty twenty one death.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
The first single in the Stars is out now. I'm
Mark Neefield all right red. Who did the better Mick Jagger,
I thought mine was better. We did do the point better,
but I'll get the face right and the alms back
got the warm Well, h you did do the full wie.
I didn't want to get out of my chair to
do it. Today is a national day. They will have
you running for the nearest French cafe or my case,
(34:16):
I just take the shortcut and run to bre Tennis.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
Any day is a great day for French food, but
today is national crape susette Day, so it's almost criminal
if you don't eat them. They were created by accident
in eighteen ninety five when a cook set a stack
of crapes and the sauce on fire and the result
was fabulous and Susette a real person. It's a simple recipe.
Crapes soaked in a syrup of sugar, orange juice, zest
(34:39):
and gravioner, then light it on fire. Just watch your eyebrows.
I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
We're all in this together. This is your morning Show
with Michael nheld Choano
Hey gang, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning. But glad you're here now for
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Enjoy starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding different because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill Jordan seven
minutes after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, May the sixth.
Yeah about No.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Twenty twenty six on the air, streaming live on your
iHeartRadio EP. This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno,
honored to serve you well. You mess with the bull,
you getting the horns. Just ask five members of the
state Senate incumbents in Indiana, all targeted by Trump and
MAGA donors and room losing in primaries. Last night, we
(01:00):
get to the Ohio setup. Sharrod Brown shared. Brown will
take on John Houston and Vivic Ramaswami will take on
the COVID Gestapo Amy acton in the governor's races. Primaries
were held yesterday in Indiana and Ohio, and we just
got started with Project Freedom, but it's been put on
(01:21):
pause at the direction of President Trump in hopes of
progress for a diplomatic solution with Iran and more attention
being pointed towards China to get that straight. Afore moves open.
And it looks like there's now a direct effect between
how much we're paying at the pump today. That'll change tomorrow. Already,
the futures are headed down, and if things are resolved
(01:43):
in the Middle East, they'll stay down. But for now,
if you're paying more at the pump, that means you're
paying more at the restaurant. Rory o'neils here to explain.
Good morning, Rory.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Hey, they're good morning, Michael. And yeah, just as Mother's
Day weekend approaches, it looks like restaurant prices are up,
but restaurant traffic is also going down.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
For households, there's just.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So much disposable income, and gas costs and fuel costs
are eating into that. So we're seeing a pretty significant
drop off in some restaurant sales as people opt to
eat at home or find something that's more affordable, maybe downsizing,
say let's take mom out for dessert rather than the
full on Sunday brunch treatment because of these higher costs.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, the energy topic, it's often the answer is all
of the above, though you know, we like to politicize
different things. Clearly, if energy is up, everything's going to
be up. That's how things get from point A to
point B. So we could angle this to everything. But yeah,
the latest is restaurants and restaurants is interesting because well,
(02:48):
my diet kind of pointed me away from restaurants along
with prices that are greatly inflated, and then with the
inflated price becomes the inflated tip. So I mean we've
kind of cut restaurants completely out of our life along
with thirty pounds. But how long? You know, we often say, okay, well,
why is it the oil prices are going down but
(03:10):
it's not getting the pump? Does it ever go back
to where it was? Can we say the same about restaurants?
Will people get used to paying more at restaurants and
so even when the fuel prices go down, the prices
might go down with it at the restaurants are just
don't steady if they can get away with it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, restaurants do have some flexibility in that they can
change their menus when things are more affordable, right, you know,
you take off instead of two tomatoes, you get one.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That kind of a thing.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
But they measure it where when gas hits four dollars
twenty cents a gallon, there's about one point five percent
fewer visits to restaurants. They predict that if a get
does go up to five ten or more a gallon,
there could be a three percent dropped in traffic. And
you know, restaurants don't operate on much of a margin,
so those even those small numbers can be significant.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, I mean restaurants only have labor cost and food costs,
and the food costs goes up on the end when
the end, yeah, and the end, and well that's part
of the hard cost. But so you know the reality
is when we look at restaurants in the in the future,
it could have been interesting had because you have to
you brought up something very profound. We talk about shrinkation
(04:19):
and inflation, and that's when they shrink the portion size.
That would have been good for America's health, but not
many did that. Most chose to raise prices, and that's
where like McDonald's, for example, I sit at so many
restaurants where I get a much better meal for the
same price that that quarter pound or with cheese frying
a coke would have cost. I don't know, at some
(04:41):
point they're gonna have to relook at their whole model
when this is all sorted out and set some of them,
some of.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Them are revisiting value menus. We've seen new value met
new rollouts by McDonald's and by Taco Bell in just
the past month or two. And at the same time,
we're seeing people indulge when they can. You know, there
is a really a big national number you can follow,
but you know, people tend to go out for ice
cream more often when times are tight because it's that small,
(05:06):
little affordable treat. We do see that Starbucks sow about
a seven percent quarterly same store sales growth in North America,
which many say is people going, oh, all right, I'll
treat myself to that whipped creamy whatever cup of sugar
for that one or two times, versus you know, something
more elaborate with a sit down dinner.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You know, you bring up assassinations and everybody thinks, well,
three potential attempts on our president in the United States,
they're worried about it. At the Kremlin, they're tightening security
around Vladimir Putin. Bory has that story coming up later
in the third hour, and he was singled out by
Marco Rubio, who was filling in for Caroline Levitt yesterday
as Press Secretary. John Decker will join us next half
(05:48):
hour from the White House. President Trump will be going
to China later this month. The White House correspondent will
be on the trip with him. On Tuesday, Decker asked
the President what he hopes to get out of the trip.
I think seeing a directional shift towards China and being
a solution in bringing this whole Iranian situation and operation
(06:09):
to a conclusion. After all, Iran is their proxy. Get
your proxy in line. I have to believe that's the
goal of the president's trip and why the President himself
is going to be going all right, can't have your
morning show without your voice? Wouldn't dare have your morning
show without your voice? Use that talkback button on the
iHeartRadio app. It's a little microphone. You press it. We
(06:29):
think talk readers should be a conversation again, and like
reading texts or just emails, call, you got thirty seconds
to make your comment, ask a question, take your place
at a kitchen table that belongs to you. So let's
start in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
David talking about your teachers and cell phone bans. Well, yeah,
maybe two years of study and that's what you got
out of that answer. But we've been manipulated and brain
rotted our kids for eight nine years or even.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Their whole lives.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So we got to get rid of their short attips
spam before they can achieve their goals.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, frighteningly, more like five decades. I got this from
a teacher just to set the answer up. An educator
privy to student IQ scores and test scores. She makes
this point the average IQ. By the way, have any
(07:27):
of you have either of you two ever done an
IQ test? No, I don't think two things. I'll warn
you when you do one. They will drive you crazy
with spam afterwards, especially if you test high. But everybody
you know, I like, I don't. I don't know my
blood type. Do you know your blood type? I do
not know my blood type? Seeing that funny how we
(07:48):
don't know our blood type. We don't know our Q.
I still got to figure out what my blood type is.
But I did. I did get an IQ score. The
average IQ in the last twenty five years has dropped.
The average used to be ninety to one hundred and nine.
The average IQ is now eighty five to one fifteen.
Isn't that interesting that the high end actually went up
(08:10):
and the low end went down. They keep moving the
goal post factor in. This is where she gives a
complete look. And I want to add to what David
points out years decades of indoctrination and socialization over education.
We went through off the air red AI and I'm
(08:31):
talking about very prestigious schools just so happens to be
the state that we live in. And we're familiar with
McAuley and Chattanooga. I brought up Ensburg and Ensworth and
Harpethal and Battleground Academy and so on. None of them
(08:52):
were over forty thousand. Most of them were in the thirties. Now,
these are very very high quality preparatory schools. They get it.
It's about learning, it's about achieving. Their goal is to
(09:12):
prepare you as a citizen of the United States. Prepare
you for the workforce or prepare you for the next
level of education. And that's the only focus. And these
graduates graduate and they go to prestigious universities and they
go on to prestigious jobs. All right, So and you
can get that I mean Ensworth, am I not saying
(09:36):
it right? Ensworth? It's Endsworth, isn't it. That's where what's
his name's kid goes the what's his name herb Street, Kirkbstreet.
I've been to that campus. That campus is unbelievable. Reminds
me of what they went to Montgomery Bell No Ensworth.
(09:59):
But anyway, I'm thinking, you know, I mean, if you
saw their pool, if you saw their library, if you
saw their football stadium, if you saw their classrooms, i mean,
it's just amazing, just amazing, Like it's like being on
the Belmont campus. It's just like colleges just don't look
like this. And then I'm looking at New York City
where they're getting They're spending forty thousand dollars a year
per pupil to not get an outstanding education, to get
(10:24):
a failed education. So money is not the solution. But yes,
you have the indoctrination element. You have we keep throwing money,
or socialization or wokeness or indoctrination. Meanwhile, we have the
breakdown of the family continuing, we have mental illness, we
have the social dilemma. Yeah, this one falls under all
(10:46):
of the above. But isn't it interesting that they thought, well,
we got to get these phones out of the classrooms
and the end of the study was, you know what
they were looking for. We banned phones, and scores went
up and they didn't. In fact, for a short period
of time, behavior got worse, suspensions went up. But the
bottom line is test scores didn't rise, and we just
(11:11):
left it with the question, okay, so if it's not
the phone. And by the way, Red brought up something
earlier that we wanted to mention on the earth. The teachers,
no matter how the study results came out, they loved it.
Not because the kids weren't listening anymore or achieving anymore.
They just liked it was better for them. They felt
(11:34):
like there were less distractions. A cynical way of looking
at it is they liked not having anybody able to
film them doing some of these Isn't it funny? I mean,
you got to ask yourself, when did we finally turn
to this phone band after a lot of teachers in
COVID got exposed, after a lot of non textbook related
(11:59):
and boy, they've been changed curriculum. I don't know if
these phones were designed to get test scores up as
much as in class videos down. One was achieved and
they like it. The other was not, and his parents
you shouldn't like it. There was no solution, and we
all know what the problem is. But if the government
(12:23):
can't succeed at educating our children, maybe they shouldn't be
in the business any longer. And I love teachers out
there's some great teachers out there listening right now. But
collectively we're clearly not hitting the mark. We're not preparing
students for higher education in the workforce or citizenry, or
(12:44):
not even prepared to compete globally. And so far, all
we know is money's not the answers C. New York
City cell phone bans are not the answers C. This
Stanford University of Michigan Prestigious Study Youngstown, Ohio is next.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Hey, Michael, I was listening to ABC News last night
and they.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Said that gas prices are five dollars a gallon.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Man I'm glad I listened to ABC News last night,
or I wouldn't have known that.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
When the heck did that happen? Well, don't worry. I
have just a solution for you. The gas prices are
about to go down dramatically and stay down forever, and
they won't hear about the gas prices on ABC anymore.
It's just a narrative tool, you know. I used to
think of a mattress like like a piece of furniture.
And I don't know how often we all, right, time
to get a new couch, Oh, time to get a
new mattress. Well, then mattress, it became like ten thousand dollars,
(13:35):
and there's so many good luck And then I got
to go sped. Wasn't ten thousand, wasn't wasn't even barely
over ten percent of that? And I felt the difference immediately.
This is a family that has made beds mattresses for
(13:56):
over one hundred years, and the one person in the
entire family tree that wasn't a maker, he was an
engineer created ghost bed They're engineered sleep systems. Their beds
are serious pieces of health equipment. Why because beds are
designed for relief and recovery. That's the purpose of sleep. Oh,
you know you got to eat right. You know you
got to exercise, you know you gotta hydrate. Guess what,
(14:19):
you don't sleep well, you're not going to live long.
So if you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning sleeping hot,
and our cooling technology is second to none, or maybe
you're reaching for pills before you even go to bed,
that's not your age, that's your mattress. Try a ghost bed.
(14:41):
We'll let you sleep out at one hundred and one nights.
And if you don't love your ghost bet as much
as I do, you can send it back risk free.
That's how confident we are you're going to love it.
And I already talked about how affordable these luxury beds
mattresses are. Ghost Bed is offering you my audience, their
lowest price of the season, plus an extra ten percent off.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We want to welcome in Vatteville, Arkansas, Freedom FM one
oh one point five Northwest Arkansas first FM news talk

If you're just waking up, these are your top five
(15:52):
stories of the day. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in
addition to being Press Secretary yesterday, is headed to the
Vatican visit with Pope Leo.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Well filling in for Press Secretary Caroline Levit while she's
on maternity leave. Rubio insisted his upcoming trip was planned
before the reason back and forth between Leo and President Trump.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
No, look, there's a lot to talk about with a Battican.
I'll give you one example. The Pope just returned from
a trip to Africa, where the church is growing very vibrantly,
and we have shared concerns about religious freedom, religious freedom
in different parts of the world.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
We'd love to talk to them about that.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Rubio says he plans to talk to the Pope about
getting humanitarian aid to Cuba through the church and other topics.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Hope.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Leo has been critical of the US military operations in Iran,
leading Trump to claim that Leo thinks it's just fine
for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
A Mark Meefield, Pope's going to have his hands full.
New research shows that banning cell phones and schools has
improved students' mental well being, but it has an improved
test scores.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
A nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research looked at thousands
of schools and found that grades and attendance haven't improved.
About two thirds of the states have laws limiting the
use of cell phones on campus in some form or another.
I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I'm a Ando Mouths in Smyrna, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your morning show with Michael Dale journal.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hi. It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or thrilled you
here now enjoy the podcast. The developments concerning Iran one
Mark Rubio filling in for Caroline Levitt on Maternity Leap,
(17:43):
basically proclaiming that Operation Epic Theory is over, victory has
been achieved, all the objectives have been achieved. Then we
get the announcement the Project Freedom is being paused at
the direction of President Trump in hopes of making progress
and diplomatic talks with the Ron might have to have
Stephen Buci back on this. But what I love about
this is I think the accountability and responsibility is being
(18:10):
turned to China now early on. This is an international
waterway and it belongs not to Iran, and they shouldn't
be allowed to block it. So it should be the
world's problem to solve, just like Iran as a nuclear
threat is a world problem to solve. Donald Trump seems
to be the only one with the couraged enough to
do it. This holds Russia and China accountable. After all,
(18:31):
Iran is their proxy and they are most dependent on
what comes through that straight So I like that the
attention and accountability is turning to China, where the President
will be heading very very soon to visit with the
Chinese government. Another close call, this time at another New
York airport. Second in two days. We have the top
(18:52):
seven candidates and the governor's race in California debating tonight,
and as I just mentioned, the President announcing that he'll
be going to China later this month. In fact, John Decker,
our White House correspondent, will be on that trip with him.
I suspect the Strait of Hormuz might come up in
the conversations.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
John, Oh, it's going to come up, for sure, you know.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
The Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessett, in an interview
that he did on Fox News on Monday, said it's
now at the top of the agenda.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
That's how important it is.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
And I think what the US realizes is that China
holds the key to this to a certain extent because
they rely on so much oil coming out of the
Persian Gulf, specifically through the Strata Formus, and they have
so much influence with Iran, so they can push Ran
to the negotiating table number one and number two. Most importantly,
they can force Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, we deal with all of Iran's proxies all the time,
and the President has done a great job of diminishing
their threat Hamas has Bela and others. But we often
forget Iran is Russia and China's proxy. So you know,
that's right, get your proxy in. But it's also a
long term vulnerability for China too. I mean, we know
that iron is losing five hundred million dollars a day.
(20:08):
China doesn't want this to last too long either, So
why don't we go straight to the horse's mouth and
negotiate this. I like this turn of events.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Yeah, the timing is really good. The timing is good
in terms of the President's meeting with President she. You know,
this is a meeting that was postponed. I think that
if it happened when it was scheduled to happen, this
would not be at the top of the agenda because
closing the straighter from moves wasn't the issue that it
is right now and the impact that we see on
oil prices around the world, on gas prices right here
(20:39):
in the US that continue to go up. So timing
is good. And the President answered my question yesterday about
how he will discuss this issue with President she.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
I asked him that in an oval office yesterday.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
I don't think he wants to essentially go down the
road of negotiating with President she in public, but he
clearly is going to bring up this issue during his
with President she next week.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
We're not the only ones that love these developments. So
do the futures. Tao's futures up five hundred, Nasdaq two
fifty eight, Brent krude is down seven point seven percent,
Texas Intermediate down nine percent, trading at ninety three dollars
a barrel. Somewhere around eighty to ninety is where you
want oil to be. So these are all very good developments.
I got to tell you, I spent much of the
(21:24):
early first hour, which we call the platinum hour of
the show ye talking about Marco Rubio. That wasn't look
He's had a lot of extraordinary moments. He's been given
a lot of extraordinary tests. But this fun fill in
for Caroline Levitt. I don't know he may end up
being President of the United States because of the way
he behaved as it There was so much John F.
(21:44):
Kennedy and the joking and the demeanor and the intelligence
and the ability to explain very complex things in a
very easy way to understand. What was the like? I
noticed he chose you to be the very first question,
gave you our time, ended up liking both questions so
much he answered both. But before you get to that,
just what was it like in the room, because my
observation was this guy special.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Well, I can tell you what it was like in
the room number one, Michael, and then I can tell
you the feedback that I heard from my White House colleagues.
First of all, in the room, a lot of buzz
because Mark Rubio had not done one.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Of these events before.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
We know that the Vice President has, so there are
going to be some comparisons in that regard. But we
also know that I think that with Secretary of Rubio,
his experience as a senator debating in the Senate really
is helpful to him in terms of this format.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
In the briefing, room. So he did very well Number one.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
Number two feedback that I heard was very positive for
Mark Rubio. Now I think it's a little bit too
early to talk about him as president. There's a process
for that. There's a nomination fight that will take place.
But he certainly did himself a lot of favors. Yes,
with the way that he presented himself yesterday in the brief.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
I agree. I was very pleased he took my question yesterday.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yes too, even but he gave you a hard time.
He said, I'm only gonna give you one answer. I'll
pick the one I like most. That he liked your
Cuba questions so much as I like both questions, I'll
give you to answers. It was a great, great exchange,
and the fact that he chose you first does remind
me of the favor that you have gained, an access
you have gained to your credit, this White House and
(23:21):
administration appreciate you very much. I said it, you didn't,
all right. So I've been making this thing. You know,
president comes from The Apprentice, which really comes from the
way he did business, and so they turned it into
a reality show and these people are given tasks and
then they're judged on those tasks. Maybe they're fired or
they're hired later. They did it with celebrities and it
got a lot more interesting. I have sensed from the
(23:43):
beginning that Marco is the President's guy. That's why he
has so many jobs. But he kind of has apprenticed this.
You know, we're noticing that JD gets tasks, Rubio gets tasked.
I feel like the President's trying to help us with
the choice and if that was a task. I don't
even remember talking to you about when JD. Vans did
(24:04):
the press that held the press room, and yet here
we are talking about Marco. I mean, I think I
know which one did better, or at least in my opinion,
in your colleagues opinion, Do you sense the president's doing
this or am I the only one that feels like
we're playing apprentice with JD and Marco? Oh?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Absolutely? You remember that program.
Speaker 11 (24:23):
You know, it was so highly rated when it was
in its prime, and I think that that's a little
bit of what we're seeing right now. The president likes
these tests. He likes to see how people perform under pressure.
I don't know if the president necessarily is going to
put his thumb on the scale, And don't forget lurking
in the background, Michael, a guy named Donald Trump Junior.
(24:44):
What will happen with him? Will he enter the race
for the Republican nomination? I am being very serious when
I raise that as a possibility.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
We shall see.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
It's going to be an interesting process that takes place
in a few years.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, Marco keeps getting the challenges and he keeps exceeding
the expectations. That's good for him anyway. I think it
could be good ultimately for the country. All Right, So
coming up today on the White House Briefing Room, we're
going to be talking about Marco Rubio and how he performed.
We're going to be talking about the President deciding to
end that process of trying to reopen the straight off moves,
(25:21):
going the diplomatic route essentially, and those two things will
certainly dominate the discussions today on the White House Briefing Room.
And thank you so much for giving that podcast. Only
eleven minutes long. It's easy to digest, and it's, as.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
You know, completely unbiased, and that's the way I think people.
Speaker 10 (25:40):
Like to hear their news.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I do too, all Right. The White House Briefing Room
Search forard on your iHeartRadio app. When you find it,
give it a program position. That way, it's waiting for
you every morning. It'll be up by eight Central, nine Eastern. John,
behind your back. I'm going to play the clip right
now of Marco Rubio calling on you. All right, So
that sounds great. The listeners will enjoy that. We'll talk
again tomorrow, all right. So it was. It was interesting.
(26:02):
The thing about Marco Rubio that if I have to
cut to the chase, I see a lot of JFK
and him and I always have. His ability to joke
and use humor to relax everybody. The way he interacts
in a human experience is a great strength, like it
(26:22):
was for Kennedy. They are both very smart people. Both
were very are very good at explaining very complex things
in a way that is easy to understand. Not all
brilliant people are good at that. There have been a
lot of smart presidents who couldn't articulate and win hearts
(26:46):
and minds, and that is something that is you know,
Donald Trump is great at doing the right thing, he
is not great at saying the right thing, and he's
not always great in explaining complex that. Now the president
can say anything to the MAGA crowd and to those
of us who love him because we get it. But
(27:10):
Marco Rubio speaks to opponents, adversaries, enemies, including those who
support other candidates, in a way that reaches them, that
makes him very uniquely jfk ish. But the moment I
want to choose to highlight here is of all the
(27:30):
people he calls on. First, of course, it's our John Decker.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Listen, all right, can I So there's no way I
can figure out who to call on.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm just going to like.
Speaker 10 (27:37):
Press right in the middle, right there, you right there, Yeah,
in the back road.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'll go to you next.
Speaker 11 (27:44):
We go ahead, Thank you, going right, welcome to the
White House.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah to you, Yes, sir, thank you.
Speaker 11 (27:53):
I have two questions on two separate issues that coming down.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Two questions. For these two questions.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
There's a lot of people in there, the whole lot
of Europe.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, well you ask it. You can ask me
two questions.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I'll give you one answer, right very much, and I'll
pick the one I like better.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Thank you with your secretary the first.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Now, after all that, he gets two really great questions,
and he gets two really brilliant, substantive answers very JFK
like this Marco Rubio, and if the president's playing apprentice,
at least on playing press secretary, big victory for Marco
(28:28):
Ruby over JD. Vans In my humble opinion, listen, I
want every father and grandfather listening right now to hear this. Clearly,
there are websites right now where anyone, and I mean anyone,
can look up your home address, find the names of
your spouse, your children, map out where you live, the
(28:51):
daily routines of yours and your family members. Data brokers
build that database, and they do it without your permission,
without your knowledge, and they profit from it every single day.
That's not just a privacy problem. As a man of
faith who takes responsibility to protect my family, seriously, it's
(29:12):
a threat that simply couldn't be ignored. And I turned
to Incognitate. Now I depend on Incognate to protect me,
my daughters, and my son and my family, and you
should too. They will send legal removal request to hundreds
and hundreds of these companies on your behalf, and they
keep fighting because they keep trying to come back. They
(29:33):
removed my information from five hundred and thirty eight data
broker sites in the first forty eight hours, and every
day I go to my dashboard and they're stand after
him and they're finding new ones. Protect yourself and your family.
It should be outraged and outraged into taking a real simple,
affordable action. Go to incognit dot com, I ncogni in

Trump says the US is pausing Project Freedom. I thought

a final agreement with Iran. Mark Mayfield reports on our
top story in.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
The operation the Navy was escorting ships through the Strait
of Horn moves. Trump said the request to pause it
came from Pakistan and other countries to see if an
agreement with Iran can be reached. Trump said the US
blocade on Iran would remain in full force and effect.
Iran called Project Freedom a violation of the ceasfire I'm

FBI Director Cash Pttel is criticizing Arizona authorities for keeping
the FBI out of the early stages of the Nancy
Guthrie investigation.
Speaker 12 (31:09):
Bettel tells Sean Hannity that the Bureau offered help immediately,
but was excluded from things for four days. Pe mc
County cheff Chris Natos rejects that claim, saying an FBI
Task Force member was notified the night Guthrie disappeared and
worked alongside Deputies Antos emphasizing that both his department and
the Guthrie family promptly contacted the FBI that the investigation
remains collaborative and evidence driven. Guthrie, mother of Today co
(31:32):
ancher Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing from her home in
Tucson February first. Investigators believe she was targeted no suspects
have been identified. I'm Jim Roop.

Another close call again in New York Airport, second in
two days.
Speaker 13 (31:46):
It happened Monday at JFK International Airport. As original Delta
flight operated by Endeavor Air was coming in for a landing.
An air traffic controller warned the pilot that a small
Serrus plane was just five hundred feet above of his flight,
flying way too close. Pilots on both planes were ordered
to maintain their positions. They did, avoiding a mid air
(32:07):
collision less than twenty five hundred feet off the ground.
This near miss happened just one day after a United
Airlines jet hit a light pole and tractor trailer on
the New Jersey Turnpike Sunday as it was landing. The
FAA investigating. I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I don't have to remind you. It was a similar
small plane that was flying close to a Columbia seven
forty seven in Airport seventy five when that pilot had
a heart attack, drifted up and hit the cockpit of
the Columbia jet that would later crash land after Chuck
Heston was inserted at the cock We're going to go
there again.

improved students mental overall well being. However, hasn't done a
thing for test scores.
Speaker 8 (33:03):

in eighteen ninety five when a cook set a stack

was fabulous and Susette a real person. It's a simple recipe.
