Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning, and of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy one, two three, starting your morning off right, A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding because
we're in this together.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael o'bill Jordan.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Seven minutes after the hour on this Thursday, May the seventh,
you have our Lord twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
I am Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Jeffrey's got the sound reds keeping an eye on the content.
This is your day, This is your morning show. The
things that are going to be buzzing today. Did Jeffrey
Epstein really write a suicide note? Is this suicide note
that has now been released gonna change anyone's mind that
he was an Israeli operative who's alive and well in Israel,
Or he was killed by Hillary Clinton in a pant

(01:03):
suit with seventy two sheets and a candlestick.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Marco Ruby's visiting with Pope Leo today and the Vatican.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
The president says, we're very close to an end of the.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
War, but if they don't take the deal, we're going
to bomb this knot out of them.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
And you know the war must be near an end.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
France has arrived with an aircraft carrier in the Strait
of warror moves.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Roy O'Neil's following a very interesting story.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Artificial intelligence is creating deep fake doctors and they're peddling
very dangerous snake oil.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Roy's gonna tell us about.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Who's doing it, why you should be weary of getting
online medical diagnosis.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Good morning Rory, Hey, Good morning Michael.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
And sometimes they're taking advantage of celebrity doctors like CNN's
Sanjay Gupta and creating video out a whole cloth that
suggests he's sort of peddling some Alzheimer's cure.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
And then there are other concerns.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
We've seen other celebrities with their images being used in
fake videos to try to hawk weight loss drugs. And
now the newer trend and concern is that deep fake
AI imagery is actually being used in trials, fakes that
could be used to defraud insurers or companies for saying, oh,

(02:22):
look it's a soft tissue damage on my MRI, shows
what I got from a slip and fall, and here's
that MRI. And then it takes a while if they
ever find out that the imagery has been faked. So
this is seeping into medical culture and it's a real concern.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
All right, So I'm guessing all because this is every day.
It's feeling like groundhog Day, only with a new example.
But it's the same problem AI, which is I mean
to some degree, what photoshop on steroids where you really
think these are paid celebrity endorsements or real trusted television

(03:00):
doctors supporting a new drug if you will, And then
how do you know if it's real or not real?
I mean, I guess one fail safe would be find
a trusted medical website, right, I mean we got to
we all have to trust, but verify these kinds of things.
You can't just sit and scroll reels and believe everything
you're seeing.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Well, in Pennsylvania, they're pursuing some litigation because when patients
were on some trusted medical websites, their interactions were with
a chatbot and not an actual doctor. So at what
point now are you just talking to the computer versus
getting actual medical advice from a doctor?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Is something else?

Speaker 5 (03:39):
And again we're still in the nascent stage of this technology,
so imagine what this is going to be like, you know,
trying to separate truth from fiction in twenty years from now.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
And by the time we solve this AI problem with
fake doctors and snake oil, they will have moved on
six layers deep in a different area. Anyn't gotten to yet.
I mean, when do you ever catch up? But this
is well, and how do you ever regain trust?

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Right, because that's one of those things that's harder to
win back over time.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
All right, well, let me give you just a really
shallow example. Facebook. You think you're on Facebook, you can
trust it. There is not a single ad that pops
up on Facebook that I would ever click on, let
alone purchase something.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
I don't trust any of them.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
There could be some good ones mixed in, but most
of them are complete scams, so there's a discrediting. The
most troubling thing you said is that in court cases
we're seeing AI being used to fraud. I guess the
legal system and jurors and judges. That's really scary. Yeah,
insurance coming, I mean, that's just scary because I would

(04:49):
think that ultimately lawsuits are going to be the solution.
You find a company using some celebrity through AI, that
celebrity just sues them to death and that will.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Hopefully discourage Right there's in someone's basement in Indonesia, And
then then.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
How do you do that? Oh, it's a mess. It's
a mess. Well, what is the solution?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Does anybody have any I mean, I guess most people
haven't gotten around to describing.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
What A or knowing what AI is, let alone.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Whatever it is, it's after the horse is already out
of the barn, and that's the bigger issue. Right that there,
It seems to be that everything we're trying to do
is playing ketchup and that you know, the trust is
gone by the time the solution arrives.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
You know, it used to be we always felt like
those on a fixed income were the most concerned about
money and issues. Well, retired Americans are actually less concerned
about money than those that are still in the workforce.
Rory has the report for you coming up in the
third hour. I don't even know how to play talk
radio with this this AI. I mean, I am curious

(05:55):
because we're all kind of in this wild wild West
together figuring it out out and what you're doing. I
don't know that if I was honest about myself. Am
I trusting but verifying? Yeah, on some things that come
to the surface, But most I just mistrust everything because

(06:16):
I don't I know what my wife produces. Every day,
I said the other day to her, just for an example,
what is going on with Dumpster Cat? I mean, every
morning in the six o'clock hour, you know, I'm hearing
and she'll run by the door screaming, I don't know
what's going on out there.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
And then all of a.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Sudden, I hear these feet, and I said, then I
can hear you chasing after them with your shoes. What's
going on out there? I'm not a I'm not wearing shoes,
but I haven't been back there. But it could be
Dumpster but it's not me. Next thing, I get a
picture of Dumpster wearing tennis shoes.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Oh wait, I.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Solve the case, and it is it looks just like
my cat and she is wearing four Nikes. But it's
not real, and that's kind of how I view everything online.
I don't know what's real what isn't. We were talking
just the other day about, you know, the old Tucker Carlson.
Why didn't Tucker just say, oh, I never said Donald
Trump was the anti Christ?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
That was AI, And how would we know? He's too
old to think that fast about AI, I guess. But
I mean, I think that's the endgame of this.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Now that you don't know what's real and what's not real,
nothing becomes real. I mean I have played this out
in my head a million times. I mean it's kind
of like the impact of moral relativism on me personally,
zero zilch, because what's happening is not based on my

(07:45):
understanding of it. Listen, whether you believe in God or not,
he's God, and if you won't worship him, rocks will,
all right, So that doesn't threaten me. Same thing with
you know, you may think there's no such thing as gravity.
One step off a cliff, you're going to learn the truth.

(08:05):
So more reletism. Moral relativism had no impact on me whatsoever.
Didn't change my belief in Christ or his inspired word.
I'm looking at this, this story about older people not
caring about I hope by the time you're older you
realize it never was about money. It was always about
relationships with eternal beings and time. Anybody that chases better better, better, better, better, house, better, better, better,

(08:41):
better car, better, better, better, boat, better, better, better trips,
you realize you're chasing a tail you're never going to catch,
and if you do, you're going to feel stupid when
you catch it. Time quantity quality. That's worth focusing on.

(09:04):
That's worth mastering. Relationships. And when I say relationships, I
don't just mean intimate ones or family ones or friendship ones.
I mean even strangers in the grocery store. That's what
life is all about. And moral relativism hasn't changed yet

(09:25):
now you know, it's tainted.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
My view of.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
All the extras in this movie of my life. Really
this kid thinks he's a dog and people go to
the house and pet him, and he sleeps on a
dog bed in the kitchen. I mean, it's just weird,
but doesn't make me question what's a boy and what's
a girl because others are. But what it has done

(09:52):
is it collectively just becomes kind of an equal. That's
its goal to make it all. There is a god,
there isn't a god. All gods are the same. Just
tries to melt everything and the one reel gets melted.

(10:16):
But what about all the fake ones? They almost get
accepted as an equal. So I think that's the endgame
of AI. You're just not gonna know what. You're not
gonna trust anything you see. Oh it's a gorgeous picture
of you, No it's Ai. Oh two months down the road.

(10:39):
Every picture you see, well, is that what they look like?
Or is that AI been somewhere months down that road?
Is I didn't even know what people look like anymore?
Am I making any sense? Because if you really play
this out, I just want you to know that if
you see a picture of me, you can tell it's AI,
because I'm at least six too.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
In all of my pictures from AI, here's the one
that'll blow your mind.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
We'll never know what we really look like because we'll
never see ourselves outside of ourselves. But I mean, AI
is gonna play tricks with all of that. I mean,
think about that report. That report is frightening. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
this this doctor's great. I mean I trust this doctor.
I watched him every morning on Good Morning America. He's

(11:31):
the real deal. It's not even him and what he's
selling is nothing he would want you to take.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
What are you going to prove it?

Speaker 6 (11:36):
Now?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
When you go to court, they just use AI in
the courtroom. There's just so many layers and we don't
even begin to know. We haven't even gotten our arms
around what it is. Nobody can tell you what is
artificial intelligence. Jeffrey will always just ask me, oh, I

(11:57):
love that. That's every day so well, but you're not,
you're playing up the joke. It's not real. Jeffrey's not
an idiot. He'll just find the most outrageous examples of AI.
I don't know, a mouse driving a car, causing a
six car pile up, whatever. Obviously obviously mice, mice don't

(12:19):
drive cars, and the event never really have.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
But it's always red.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Is this real and this is a threat that's going on? Well,
I'm trying to do the real work of this show.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
They're doing this nonsense. So AI is a big, big, big.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Problem in like Groundhog Day. Here we go with another example. Now,
fake doctor's pedaling really dangerous snake oil. I just don't
know where it ends, and I don't know where we
begin to solve it. Sometimes we just don't have any answers,
do we. We're just all collectively trying to feel our
way through the dark. For me, the best way to

(12:51):
feel is not trust anything unless I'm seeing it with
my own eyes. Everyone forgets things now and then we
all do. That's just a part of life. You can
forget a name, a word. Sometimes you'll walk into a
room and you forget why you walked into it. But
if it starts happening more and more often, it might
be time to support your brain health in a more

(13:11):
targeted way. And that's where Sarah Folan brain Wellness comes in.

but we do our best.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Twenty six minutes after the off, you're just waking up.
President Trump is striking an optimistic tone over the end
of the war in Iran.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
In his latest comments following reports of adigal on the table,
Trump told reporters from the White House on Wednesday that
there have been very good talks.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
They want to make a deal badly, and we'll see
if we get there.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
If we get there, they can't have nuclear weapons. It's
very simple.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Iran's Foreign ministry spokesman confirmed his government was reviewing the
US plan. It reported one page memorandum of understanding that
sets a framework to end the war and start negotiations
on Iran's nuclear program by Marknefield.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Last night, the top send seven candidates in the race
for California governor faced off in another debate.

Speaker 8 (14:58):
Tammy Triheel reports was one of the first issues discussed,
with Republican Steve Hilton saying California's regulations are making housing
more expensive.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
The California Dream was built on the idea of owning
your own home, and right now we have the highest
housing costs in the country and the lowest home ownership.

Speaker 8 (15:16):
The debate featured Republicans Hilton and Chad Bianco, as well
as Democrats Javier Besserah, Matt May and Tom Steyer, Katie Porter,
and Antonio Via Ragosa. Less than a month remains before
the primary election, and the first mail ballots are going
out this week. Most of the latest polls show Hilton
and Besserah in the lead, but the race is still
considered wide open with a large number of undecided voters.

(15:37):
I'm Tammy Trihio.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
American entrepreneur and media mogul ted Turner is gone.

Speaker 9 (15:41):
Turner Enterprises as the founder of CNN and TBS, passed
away Wednesday. Turner is known for transforming the cable industry
by starting CNN in nineteen eighty. He also owned the
Atlanta Braves when the team won the World Series in
nineteen ninety five, and gave one billion dollars to create
the United Nations Foundation. In recent year, he dealt with
health issues, including a progressive brain disorder and pneumonia. President

(16:04):
Trump praised Turner on Truth's Social calling him one of
the greats of all time, and on ex Governor Brian
camp posted ted Turner led a life as big as
the American dreamy lived. Turner is survived by five children
and fourteen grandchildren. He was eighty seven. I'm Scott Kimbler.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, it's Thursday, every getting towards the end of the week,
and if you're in a negative slump, it may not
be your fault.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
Psychology today says human brains are wired for a negative bias.
This means our brains naturally prioritize, react to, and remember
negative information better than positive. We complain about bad things
for days, but good for minutes. Science says it's a
survival mechanism, but you can overwrite it. Just find the good,
a great cup of coffee, finding money in your pocket,

(16:48):
a green light, and know that Friday is coming. I'm
Bree Tennis.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
I got some good news.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Sabers took Game one four to two over the Canadians,
Buffalo leading the series one game to nothing. And how
about the Docs one three to one over the Golden Knights.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Evening up that series at one game apiece.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Nixt one O eight one h two over the seventy
six ers inn NBA Playoffs, New York leads that series
two games to nothing. Spurs beat the Tea Wolves by
thirty eight, even the series at one game apiece. Birthdays,
Fox and Friends is Brian kill Meat is sixty two.
Today YouTube Billionaire Mister Beast is twenty eight, PJ Golfer
Cameron Young is twenty nine. And if it's your birthday,
Happy birthday. So glad you were born. Ahi.

Speaker 7 (17:28):
This is Mike from leven In, Ohio in my morning
show as Your Morning Show with Michael Dorjono.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Hi, It's Michael.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Your Morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happierre here now. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 11 (17:53):
It's very impressed with how far you've done with the
pronunciation of hyper homo systemmia hyperhomas. Aware that up pronounced
until you could appreciate it. Man, Thanks for about cabulary.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Listen, Dallas, I know a lot of big words.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
There a similitude, there a similitude and if you can
name that movie, we got an extra prize for you.
Thirty six minutes after the hour. Good morning, and welcome
to Thursday May, the seventh year of our Lord, twenty
twenty seven. I don't know about anybody else, but I
am really in the mood for Friday. With forty seven tomorrow.
I want to end this week with a few laughs
if you're just waking up a very important meeting. First,

(18:31):
the Vice President has met with the Pope. Now Secretary
of State Marco Rubio meets with Pope Leo and the
Vatican today. Oh, there's the narratives of what this meeting
is about. Smooth things over with the president. Let's talk
a little bit deeper about that. A few moments. Shall
we also President says the talks are going very well
with Iran. In fact, he went out, came right out
and said, the end of this war is coming soon.

(18:54):
Market went nuts. Oil just plummeted as low as eighty
eight dollars a barrel, down fifteen percent. Now the President said,
if they don't take the deal they got forty eight hours,
I'm gonna bomb them like they've never been bombed before.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
I crept back up a little bit.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
But this up and down roller coaster of the market,
I mean, how long is the market going to take.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Its cues from these kinds of quotes? I mean, how many.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Times can the president cry peace and get away with it? Or,
as Red joked, maybe the joke's on all of us,
he's day trading. I don't know, but we'll make sense
of it with our economists and money. Was David bonson
next hour. We do have France who has sent an
aircraft carrier strike group moving in south of the Suez

(19:40):
Canal and into the ren c in preparations for potential
French British missions in the Strait of Hormuz. That's a
sign of Europe finally getting involved, not a single leak
on the US side, the Iranian side, or the Pakistani side.
So none of us know what the new points of

(20:01):
this agreement are. All we know is the President says
talks are going good, the end is near, or we're
gonna bomb like never before. It's a lot of mixed messages.
We'll have more on that in a moment with our
White House correspondent John Decker. And big win for the
Buffalo Sabers. I had this actual thought. Forgive me, but

(20:23):
you know how I love Buffalo and you guys are
listening in Buffalo this morning. Is it a good What
if the Sabers win a Stanley Cup championship before the
Bills win a Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (20:37):
How does that play in Buffalo?

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Take a little bit of the says a lot of
what your expectations were. This team's good, they're young, they're fast,
they're good. They won four to two over the Canadians
last night, and the Ducks evened up their series with
the Golden Knights at one game apiece. Um next hour
we are next week We're going to visit with Bob

(21:05):
Farelli of the Ferrelli Brothers.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Something about Mary.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Hall passed so many great movies out with a new
one called Driver's Education.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
We'll visit with him on that, all right.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
John Decker is not with us at the White House,
all right, So John, a lot of mixed messages. We'll
get to that in a minute. But first things first,
not a leak at all on the US side or
from the foreign minister in Iran on their side, or
from Pakistan. Nobody knows what's in this agreement. Is anything
new in it, anything changed in it. We just know

(21:39):
they got forty eight hours to respond. The President feels good,
and if they don't, he's gonna bomb them and the
market of course.

Speaker 9 (21:45):
All that.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
Yeah, that's what the President says. That's what he put
on on social media. We know that the two demands
that have been on the table from the US as
it relates to Iran have not changed. One is that
Iran must open the Strait of Formose. That's number one.
Number two. The other demand has to do with conveying

(22:06):
over to the US nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium.
But with both of those demands, as far as Iran
is concerned, they have been non starters. And that's the
reason why this war is now in.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Its third month. At what point does this game get old?
The tough talk.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
We're near the end because for those that really understand
the issues, we know they're not going anywhere. There's fourteen
hundred years of worship to prove that. As far as
whether or not they'll be allowed to be a nuclear country,
we can always control through bombing straight of Hormuz. We
can physically reopen it, and they can continue to starve

(22:49):
with their ports blockaded. I mean again, I keep coming
back to we don't even need this agreement, So why
keep playing up this agree Is this the art of
the deal?

Speaker 4 (22:58):
He's just got to have the deal to end it.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Well, it's a deal that would provide an off ramp
to end this war. And I think there's some added pressure.
You know, yesterday Michael, the farm minister from Iran, met
with the farm minister from China in Beijing, and that's
ahead of the President's trip to Beijing next week. I
think there's being pressure that's put to bear on the

(23:23):
Iranians from the Chinese to reopen the Strait of Formuz.
This really hurts China in a very real way because
they derive so much of their energy needs from the
Persian Gulf, which of course travels through the Strait of Formuz.
So I think they all the key to a certain
extent in terms of ending this conflict. And I think
the timing couldn't be better for the President to travel

(23:44):
to China next week.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, so the President going to China next week, Iran
meeting with China. Already, the focus is kind of turned
not to Europe coming to the rescue, which isn't it interesting?
Right as the President puts the pressure on China and
it looks like is responding because they can end this quickly.
France moves in a strike group. It's a French British

(24:08):
mission into the Strait of Horne. Moves obviously a little
late for that, but China is the key. That part
is looking very optimistic, and I'm wondering if that's where
the President's optimism is coming from.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Well, perhaps you know, there are conversations that happen prior
to big summits like the one that's happening next week,
to make certain that you know things go well, that
there are deliverables, and this is the major deliverable that
the President wants to come out of the summit. This
is the number one item on the agenda. We heard
that earlier this week from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant. President

(24:40):
Trump told me as much earlier this week in the
Oval Office. And the President realizes this has major impacts
on our economy, certainly on gas prices that we feel
every day.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, joining us real quickly. I'm
going to get more in depth of what I hope
is taking place being achieved in this meeting. But what's
the buzz around the White House with Marco and his
visit with Pope Leo.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Oh, well, that's happening today. It's happening in Rome. And
the buzz is is that this is another diplomatic effort
that the President entrusts the Secretary of State to carry out.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
He is the chief diplomat for the US.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
He's a practicing Catholic, and he is the emissary for
President Trump. They would very much like to see, I
guess you could see, say a reset of relations between
the Trump administration and the Vatican.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
And that's what the Marching orders.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
Essentially that Marco Rubio has been given for this meeting
with Pope Leo.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
If that's true, we've already sent the Vice president also
a devout Catholic jd Vance And now we're sending Marco
and if it's smooth, smooths over a Marco. Was this
another Apprentice challenge for both of them? And Marco wins again?

Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, Yeah, that's funny. That is a good point. Yeah,
they both had the same challenge. We'll see, you know.
But the President does like to have these challenges. We
saw that take place in a prior life that he
had when he was the host of that show that
you referenced, The Apprentice on NBC. That this is real
life and this is trying to smooth over relations. The

(26:19):
President did very well with Catholic voters in the twenty
twenty four campaign and he wants their support, you know,
for those midterms as well.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
And I think Marco is going to talk about some
things that are urgent in Africa too that both could
find agreement on and change the world and make a
difference in people's lives. All right, there'll be more in
very concise, fair balance the whole cabootle. It's called The
White House Briefing Room with John Decker. It's a podcast
you'll find on the iHeart app. John gets into these

(26:48):
and other stories without my boring interruptions, and in about
fifteen minutes you get everything that's happening and you need
to know around the White House. It's the White House
Briefing Room with John Decker. It's coming out eight o'clock
this morning's Central time, nine Eastern. And we'll talk again tomorrow,
I hope. Unless you're going on assignment, we will not
talk tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
I am going on assignment, but we will talk when
I'm in China, so I look forward to that next week.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
You have a lot of assignments lately that fall on
Friday's tennis tennis.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'm wondering. All right, John, we'll talk to you again
from China next week. All right. Forty five minutes after
the hour.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
This Marco Rubio thing is significant, and I don't doubt
it's a part of it. But the narrative is, oh,
now they're sending Rubio to visit with Pope Leo. This
is just smooth things over with Trump. Well, if that's true,
how bad of a person is Donald Trump? Let me
rephrase this, How big of an opportunity might Pope Leo

(27:42):
be missing a by being an American pope b with
a president who gave the Vice presidency and the Secretary
Secretary of State positions both to devout Catholics. Now there

(28:04):
are and I am not suggesting that Marco Rubio or JD.
Vance or even Donald Trump don't have the right to
speak on faith issues.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
They do as people of faith. They certainly do.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
And so I would also say the reverse of that
is a pope who should be focused mainly on the
Kingdom of God and going forth into all nations and
sharing the Gospel, truth and good news. While that's his
main priorty, he certainly has the right to comment on politics.

(28:45):
But I also wasn't born yesterday, and I know who's
had the pope's here, and there's very easy explanations for it.
This pope comes from Chicago, so he's had a lot
of the Obama operatives and Obama himself in his ear.
I don't know that he's gotten a complete worldview policy view.

(29:09):
I had a general manager, Rod Krebs, was the first
that I saw do it, and I was very very young,
and so somebody came into my office and they gave
one side of the story. Man, I was ready to
go kill for them, only to get the other side
of the story and then feel stupid for rushing to
a decision. And Rod was very good at Oh really

(29:32):
that happened. That happened, and then he could get the
other side, and then you get the two of you together.
Then he would make judgments and resolutions management one oh one.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
I know.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
But when you're in your twenties, you need to live
that experience. You need to make that mistake. You need
to somebody who's mastered that in style, and then put
that in your toolbox and use it the rest of
your life in leadership, which leads to my only point
of this segment. Remember what I said yesterday about Marco Rubio. Yes,
remember what I just did with John Decker. That's important too.

(30:06):
I do think the president's playing the apprentice with these two,
and he's hoping he's not the one that's going to
say you're hired. He will have demonstrated by giving them
the challenges your ability to say this is who the
next president should be, This is who should take what
Donald Trump is built and carry it forward, maybe even

(30:28):
in ways Donald Trump couldn't or because of Donald Trump's influence,
in ways they couldn't have before. I do think he's
playing Apprentice, and I think just as nobody remembers what
jd Vance did when he filled in for Caroline Levitt,
and everybody's talking about how Marco Rubio filled in, I

(30:49):
think he's probably gonna win this challenge too. Why because
Marco Rubio has the ability to be approachable, to be trustworthy,
to be fun, funny human and then when you get

(31:10):
to the issues, no one can explain complex issues more
clearly than Marco Rubio. And I find I'm not Catholic,
by the way, but I have a lot of Catholic
brothers and sisters I love, and I love today that
the opportunity for Pope Leo, who's had a lot of
certain ears from Chicago and the Obama apparatus in his ear,

(31:36):
to get a counter to that viewpoint, and I'd much
rather it come from Marco Rubio than Donald Trump. That's
how much better Marco Rubio might be able to frame
these issues. And make no mistake about it, I think
Marco Ruby is going to turn the attention not just
from this but to what we could be doing together
in Africa. And I do believe at the end of

(32:00):
the day, whether it was the number one goal or not,
it will smooth things over. This pope needs to hear
the other sides of these stories. I'm thinking of the
guy who just got released after raping a child. Then Goodness,

(32:22):
Ice was there the minute he walked out of the
courtroom released the illegal immigrant and rapist was apprehended by Ice.
I'm glad Marco Rubio is there today to explain law
and order. And I just end with this. The Pope's

(32:44):
got a tremendous opportunity. He's an American pope. There's a
lot of relationships that need to be healed with the
Catholic Church in America, and fighting with half the country
by way of the president is not the best way
to begin that healing. There are opportunities for the pope
he's missing. I think there's opportunities for Marco Rubio that

(33:04):
Donald Trump missed today. Pray for God's favor on their
meeting today, for the good of the world, but especially
the Kingdom of God.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Listen. I used to think of a mattress kind of
like a piece of furniture.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
And I don't know when you're done with your couch
and get a new one, but that's kind of how
we treat mattresses. And the mattresses is suddenly for like
ten thousand dollars, so you'd save up and then other
expenses would pop up and you never get around to it. Meanwhile,
the most important thing in life's sleep isn't happening the
way it should because sleep is serious business. That's when
your body heals and recovers. So you talk about diet,

(33:37):
you talk about exercise, you talk about hydration, talk to
any medical expert. If you're not sleeping well, you're not
going to live long. It's the number one. Once you're
sleeping well, then exercise, then hydration, then diet, and that's
where ghostbed comes in. Now I felt the difference, submitted,
I laid down, and of course I want you to

(33:58):
buy one because I think it's terrific and it's a
fraction of the cost of these ten thousand dollars mattresses.
But it's also a great story. It's a mattress family
of over one hundred years, and the only guy that
wasn't in the family business an engineer create a ghost bed,
and it is an engineered sleep system, a serious piece
of health equipment. So if you're waking up stiff, tossing
and turning sleeping hot, reaching for pain relievers before you

(34:21):
go to bed. That's not age, that's your mattress. And
it's time to take an action. And you don't have
to save up to do it. And they're so confident
you're gonna love the ghost bet as much as I do.
You can sleep on it one hundred and one nights
at home, and if you don't feel the same way
I do, send it back risk free. Ghost Bed is
offering right now lowest prices of the season during the
Memorial Day sale, plus an extra ten percent off for

Speaker 3 (35:01):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Good morning, Welcome to your morning show on the air,
streaming live on your right heart app. I Michael del
journal can't have your morning show without your voice.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
To the talkback lines, we go. I want to.

Speaker 12 (35:14):
Start with the Blaine the names now here's an aspect
of things. You probably didn't realize. The Catholic Church needs
American money. That's just a fact. Why do you think
they appointed an American as pope. That's the only real
reason besides that to put a stumbling block in the
way of the United States. Now there's an ups search

(35:35):
supposedly in Catholicism. I was a Catholic, but the pope basically,
what's he up to?

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Well, you're saying the same thing I said, which, by
the way, thank you for that. I think there's an
opportunity for Pope Leo. Obviously the church may have made
a choice. They would give you more divine reasons for
how the choice actually takes place during conclave. But that
is wise, and I think the wisest way to take
advantage of that is to focus on the Kingdom of God.

(36:03):
You know, in America, you're not getting very far taking
sides against what over half the country just voted for
and believes very strongly about in terms of law and order.
So I think there's you know, the narrative from the
left is, oh, they got to go smooth this over.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
The Republicans need these Catholic votes.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
I think the needs are more on Poplio site, and
I suspect Marco Rubio maybe the one to explain that
to them.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
And then finally is Joe and Tucson. Hey, Michael, the
movie that you were referencing was American.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Pie where Jim was talking about it. Sat scores Paris similitude,
Paris similitude, and then the girl comes down.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
We'll throw up on her.

Speaker 12 (36:44):
Very good, Joe, you win.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
How immature are we? Contests? This morning? All right?

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Fifty eight minutes after the hour, Your Morning Show continues
with our money. Was an economist David Bonson on the
crazy roller coaster that is the market.
