Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Jordan, and I won't be here on Sunday to say this,
so let me say it right now. To all my
moms out there listening. Blessings. I hope you all have
a breastful.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Though it won't be.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Cherish. Tell those lazy kids they want to a thing.
I have a wonder Mother's Day. We honor all of you.
Thank God bless you on this Mother's Day weekend. All right,
eight minutes after the hour, if you're just waking up,
the smoke finally appeared.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I was a little shocked.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I didn't think it would be till first or second
vote today, but it was day two, fourth vote and
a long shot, not a favorite to boot. And an
hour later, the two hundred and sixty seventh Pope appeared,
and it was Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the South
Side of Chicago by way of Villanova University, the first
(01:35):
pope from America in the two thousand year history of
the Catholic Church. National correspondent Roy O'Neil is joining us.
We're going to talk a lot about Mother's Day, but
I got to get your immediate reaction.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I know, I texted you immediately. It's an a Medica
exclamation point. That was a shocker. I did not expect that.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, right, because it traditionally had been we won't make
an American because America already has enough influence on the
world world was sort of the long held thought. But
to pick this pope who was described as the least
American of the Americans is also pretty interesting. You know,
there are ten American cardinals in the College of Cardinals.
(02:13):
Only Italy has more at seventeen, so we are a
considerable voting block as well. And when you have such
now the most diverse college of cardinals ever, representing seventy
one different nations, and that now Pope Leo's job for
the past couple of years has been outreached to many
of these areas, many of the gardinals.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
They have just picked the guy they knew in the room.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well he's a Francis appointed cardinal. I don't know, And
everybody's trying to find the political lines, and I think
that's a terrible place to start. It does seem like
what I was hoping for my Catholic brothers and sisters,
the humility, the love and the spirit of Francis, but
maybe a little tightening up on the doctrinal front.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And I think that's what you get. A lot.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
There's some unknowns, but he is not He has shares
the views on global warming, but not so fast on
you know, women as deacons.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Not so fast for the LGBTQ agenda.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I think you get the spirit of Francis, but I
do think you get to turn back towards center doctrine,
or at least that's.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
My early take.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Yeah, we heard from his brothers, and don't me the cardinals,
I mean his actual brothers. Who has said, he's sort
of a middle of the road guy. But I think
it's going to be more conservative internally for the church,
but as you said, sort of keeping the line of
Francis outwardly. When it comes to the church's role and
trying to end poverty, you know, the threat of climate
change and those kinds of big picture issues, I think
(03:39):
he will be more liberal, more progressive. But when it
comes to internal matters of the church, like female priests,
like the role of homosexuals in the church, I think
that is going to be more conservative.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, there's also been this sense by the way the brother,
the older brother from Florida, I mean, just telling the story,
it was priceless, you know, right, brothers.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
The pulp you mad. I don't know. I can't even relate.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But he tells the story about he was always holy
and they used to call him holy. They used to
joke with him, we were going to be pope some day,
and then he became cardinal and then can you imagine
when he's announced, he did come out in more formal attire.
I think there's going to be a return to formality.
I think he's very christ focused. I don't think you
go more than one degree and he's to Jesus and
that's all he really wants to talk about, which I like.
(04:21):
He's spoken Italian and in Spanish but not English until
Mass this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't know what we're overreading into that, but we are.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
But it was also fun to hear just you know,
a bit of a Chicago accent there coming from up Hope.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's just sort of a head scratch.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, my first thought to my friend Pete Christiano was
all right, Cubs are socks. That's how we do it
in Chicago right away, And the early indication was he
was a Cubs fan, but then his brother and the
others made it clear he's a Chicago White Sox fan.
So right, they do love everything about the guy. Do
we have a minute or should we do Mother's Day later?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
We could do it now.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay, so Mother's Day one minute? Mother's Day shopping? First
of all, I can tell you what all moms want.
They just want you around, just be there, tell them
how you feel a good card.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But what do we get mom? And what have we
been spending big bucks.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
On thirty four billion dollars to be spent for Mother's Day?
A lot of that is going to be spent on dinner,
out on flowers. Flowers the number one gift greeting cards
about the same around seventy three, seventy four percent. But
dinner or that Mother's Day brunch that's going to be
the celebration for sixty one percent of Americans. Average spend
is two hundred and fifty nine dollars and four cents.
(05:31):
So nothing to sneeze that about seven billion of that
is going to be in jewelry.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
By the way, whatever it is, it won't be enough
for the sacrifices she's made. I look forward to seeing
my mother on Mother's Day and the mother of my
children on Mother's Day both.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And do you still have your mom? Rory?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I do not know, so it's you know, it's a
little bit more. Yeah, Rus, sorry for your loss. Happy
Mother's Day to all the moms listening, and Wi'll be
back to talk more about Cardinal Prevost, who is now
Pope Leo the fourteenth when your morning show continues, all right,
twelve minutes after the hour, Let that you know, sink
into all of you. Don't ever take tomorrow for granted.
(06:11):
For those of you that have moms, do not get
too busy there'll be a day you can't make sure
you spend time with mom, Love on mom, and bring
her something expensive if you can. I've already given my
mother everything, so I don't know what else to bring.
I think we'll just quietly play Spaids and I'll beat
her once again. Maybe I'll let her win on Mother's
(06:32):
Day for a change. That well, we were very competitive
when I was a kid. We used to play spaids
and she would win, and then when she'd do the
next core card, she'd put champ for her name and chump.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
For my name.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So now I return the favor, only I do it
on the eraser board, and I leave it for everybody
in the nursing home to see.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That she's the jump Boo got beat jump.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
A couple of poles of plenty to kick around, and
nothing compares to the announcement of a new pope from
a new stand point. But I thought these were two
very telling. The first because of the matrix, right, And
because of the matrix, you would you would think, well,
the world is just split in half, right, So if
(07:16):
if the question arises, you know who's dividing America, you
would expect the right matrix to say the left and
the left matrix to say the right right, But everybody
looks for someone to blame. Now, I always do this
with the mirror first, because I remember I used to
(07:37):
have to challenge myself. I may have prayed for Barack
Obama once or twice in eight years. What a despicable
thing for a believer to say out loud. And in
the end it became a crisis of prayer, and I
would say to God, I helped me. And at first
I would just sit there silent. I didn't know what
to do. So wasn't I guilty of blaming everything on him?
(08:02):
Or were we all guilty of blaming everything on Biden?
Not the failed worldview, not the field policy view, not
the wrong direction, learn from it, don't return to that again,
and head in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Are we all the good?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's staying one nation under God, not a president, indivisible,
not divided by the matrix deliberty. I mean, in other words,
it's a challenge for all of us. And I say
that because now as I read the poll results to you,
you're about to begin.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You're gonna get like a wild animal.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
As my mother would say, What does this poll ultimately
prove we still live in the matrix. The real telling
poll will be whether we still exist.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Post Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But but all right, let's Resmussen does a television a
telephone poll to find out, you know, is Donald Trump
uniting or dividing? Because we had a fan same conversation yesterday,
was Barack Obama perceived I know what his blood makeup was,
but perceived as the first black president ever? Did that
make racial relations better or worse? Black lives matter? Of course,
all lives matter. If you've got your creator right, his
(09:12):
creation made in his image, They're all mattering. That's why
I've been so pro life. It has predominantly affected one race.
But fair question. As Donald Trump made America never mind
better or great, as he made us more or less divided.
(09:36):
Fifty four percent of likely US voters think America has
become more divided, thirty four percent of the country's become
more united Beauties in the eye of the matrix beholder.
Forty eight percent say Trump is more to blame for
dividing Americans, while twenty five percent think his political opponents
(09:56):
and a Democrat party are to blame. Now, what cuts
to the chase of all of this needs to be
said out loud. This is the card the Democrats played
in the twenty twenty four presidential election. It was all
about law fair, demonization, rapist fell in, boogeyman but botch,
(10:24):
as we say in Italian, and it failed. And it
failed with Kamala Harris getting read. Do you remember what
percentage of the vote she got overall? Because I think
it was forty eight percent. So you know, we always
criticized polls aren't accurate.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Eh, this one seems accurate. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
What really turned the election was failing to deliver for Hispanics,
conflating Hispanics with the legal criminals, what a dumb idea.
Failing to deliver for black Americans and losing those key
and then losing the youth that was really key. But overall,
this is about how it fell. So worldview and policy
(11:11):
views failed in America. I mean, the thing you can't
get around heading in the wrong direction. That's what caused
the election to go the way did. But these numbers
are almost right on forty eight percent. Say Trump is
to blame. I noticed that from everybody. Nobody wants to talk.
I tried to have a sensible conversation with somebody yesterday
about not COVID, but vaccines in general. And you just
can't over and over again, They'll just repeat narratives to you. Well,
(11:34):
Robert Kennedy's anti VAC. Well, no, he's been labeled anti vacs.
He wanted more research and testing for vaxes, especially unknown vacs.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Completely thrust upon us like COVID.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Nah, you suit him, he's anti vact You just you
can't get by the narratives.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
But isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Silly or ironic? Forty eight percent blamed Trump for dividing America.
And I'll end I'll dismount with this as if we
weren't divided before Donald Trump. But somebody has to take
on the face of standing up for what's right, and
they get all the wrath and that comes out in
(12:19):
this number. Seventy five percent think Trump is more to
blame for dividing Americans than any other president. To give
me a break, most voters don't see these divisions leading
the country towards civil war. Thirty nine percent believe the
United States is likely to experience the Second Civil War.
David Den and I did a podcast because we thought
it was coming. I feel less so today, thank god.
(12:40):
Fifty one percent don't think of other civil wars likely.
Fifty three percent of Democrats, thirty four percent of Republicans,
twenty eight percent of voters not affiliated with either major
party consider a second World war or a second civil
war at least somewhat likely.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It is a war that simply cannot be and nor
can this matrix and division.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You can't divide your way to unity any better than
you can spend your way out of debt. But we're
always looking for someone to blame. Now, one thing we
do know, the Democrats do blame Elon Musk. Here's another
Rasmussen seventy one percent of Democrats want Elon Musk in prison.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So loving, so tolerant, so non narrativized.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Right, Hello, it's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I'm not joking. I sweat. I laughed so hard I'm sweating.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'm like, try, I think.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That may have been the funniest thing I've ever done
in my life.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Show just go.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We really got to start airing what happens around here
during the commercial way better than the show I hear.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, the world and one
point four billion Catholics have a new pope and guess what,
For the first time in two thousand years, it's an American.
The two hundred and sixty seventh Pope is the Cardinal
Robert Francis, prevost from the South side of Chicago by
(14:05):
way of Villanova University, and everybody wants to know where
he stands politically, and all you know so far is
where he stands spiritually. He has kept the focus in
his first hours as pope on Christ, on the church.
For those that are curious, and I know you are.
He was appointed by Francis. He seems to be in tone,
(14:30):
in personableness, and in spirit very much like Francis. Not
as far left on the doctrinal issues, especially as it
relates to ordaining women as deacons.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He is not for that.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Nobody believes that he is as progressive when it comes
to the LGBTQ agenda.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You just never know. A pope has to assume.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
His papacy and they can often become something very unique
and to themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
What it appears is a more formal pope.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
We could tell by the way he dressed a lot
anticipate this on being a quiet pope outside of the
issues of the church, and something that hasn't come up yet.
This morning at Villanova University was a math major. This
guy's like a CEO. He's got a very business mind.
I mean, one of the great contributions could be get
the books in Order of the Catholic Church as well.
(15:26):
But you have a new pope and his name is
Pope Leo, the fourteenth President. Trump says it's too late
for the FED to cut interest rates. Now, oh he
wanted him cut and they just didn't happen.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Before his cabinet meeting, Trump noted that England and China
cut rates, but Benn church Room Powell chose not to
on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I call him too late. Too late Powell, that's his
nick name, and it's a shame. It's ridiculous. Powell has
said if Trump wants to.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Talk to him, he needs to call him, to which
Trump responded, it's like talking to a wall.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He went on to say that a.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Rid cut wouldn't make much difference because the US ECONO
is so strong.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'm Mark Meyfield.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, the Warriors fell to the Wolves one seventeen to
ninety three, so that series ties up at one game apiece.
The Thunder even their series at one game apiece. The
two that are in trouble are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who
are down to nothing to the Pacers and the Celtics,
astonishingly beat twice at home by the Knicks. Caps beat
the Hurricanes three to one. In hockey, Oilers won five
(16:23):
to four and overtime Edverinton leads that series now two
games to nothing. I'm Orlando math in Smyrna, Tennessee, and
my morning shows your Morning Show with Michael Dale Journal.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'm Michael and your Morning Show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five, nine
twelve fifty w hn Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy WKBN 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. Enjoy, am I
(17:03):
the only one that time is like really crazy flying lately.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Can you believe it's Friday? No? I cannot.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I don't even remember what we did this week. I
kind of remember talking to an author, but that's about it.
Time flies. I guess when you're having fun, we must
be having a blast. Welcome to my son's birthday. Friday,
made the tenth year of our Lord twenty twenty five.
Tomorrow will be my father, Bob del Jorno, a fifty
year radio veteran, his birthday. I would tell you which birthday,
but if I said he was eighty seven, he'd be mortified.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So don't do that. Are the tariffs working? Tis the
question of the hour.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
But you know, before I get to that, John Decker,
our White House correspondent, is joining us hanging around the
White House yesterday. What was the President's overall response to
white smoke appearing? Second day, fourth vote and it's not
a favorite, it's a long shot and a first in
two thousand years in American pope.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
What was the presidential reaction?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Well, we got his reaction when he walked out of
West Wing yesterday after announcing that trade deal with the UK.
The President seemed very pleased, like so many other Americans,
that the pope is an American. He said he looks
forward to meeting with.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
The new Pope.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
A call has already been placed to arrange that meeting.
So I think that his feeling was the one that's
shared by so many Americans. Right now, a sense of
pride that the new pope is from Chicago as American,
and it's a really remarkable thing.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I don't think i'd ever see that in my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Now, at the White Sox turn around and start winning,
you'll know there's a power in that seat. That was
our first. Couple of my friends and I were texting
back and forth. I presume because he was born in
nineteen fifty five, you know, looking back at White Sox teams,
because if you're born in fifty five, you really first
start following your team at about six seventy maybe eight
(18:53):
years old at the latest. And I was thinking, boy,
the Cubs were a lot better in the mid sixties
and the White Socks.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I bet he's the Cubs.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Then Wrigley Field put a sign up and everybody assumed
he was a Cubs fan. And then it's made clear, No,
he's a Southsider and he's a white size go figure.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Yeah, well, I'm sure he's a Bears fan, right, Yeah
he was.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It's hard to believe.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's what makes it so neat John, that we have
a pope now that probably thought Bob Aveleene he's stunk,
just like I did. Growing up watching you don't even
know Bob Avalleene. That's Proofie stunk all right. In terms
of the tariffs, are they working? Is the President getting
what he wants?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I guess that depends on who you talk to. But
a good next step is the deal with the United Kingdom, right, Well.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
That's right, it's a first step, right. And the President
told me yesterday when he came out of the West
Wing that three other deals are in the works. And
he says that the countries that the US is talking to,
once those deals are completed are consummated, they'd like to
have some sort of an event regarding a trade deal
here at the White House. And so the President seemed
(19:59):
pretty pleased buy that, pretty optimistic by that. You know,
you asked me whether or not this trade deal is working.
You know, like you said, it really depends who you're
talking to. I think it's a little bit early to
you know, declare victory or you say that it's not working.
I think it really does take some time rather than
(20:20):
relying on one month's worth of data to determine whether
or not the President's tariff's policy is a success.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
White House correspondent John Decker I think I about five
or six of those questions from the President. I'm pretty
soon you're gonna have a position in this White House.
I don't think I'm going to lose my White House.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'll tell you definitively, no, thank you.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
That's enough job. I would never want that job. I
love what I do, so no, I know, but it's
wonderful that we're getting access to the President. So we
we kind of, I say we, I shouldn't do that.
I kind of expected Japan to be the first deal
and maybe France the second deal, and it turns out
to be the United Kingdom first. But the United Kingdom
(21:02):
is the bigger of the deals to get done. I
think now attention turns what probably to India, Japan, France,
maybe Canada.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Although yeah, I didn't go.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Very well South Korea. Let's not forget South Korea. South
Korea is a country the President has already struck a
trade deal with. He did that in his first term.
I was with him in Seoul when he struck that
trade deal with South Korea, and so I would be
surprised if that's not one of the next deals that
the President announces a deal with South Korea. But the
(21:31):
other ones that you mentioned, the other countries that you mentioned,
I could see that happening as well.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The President.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
You know, as it relates to European countries, you know,
it's tough to strike a specific trade deal with a
specific European country because of course they're a part of
the European Union. So you're dealing with the EU more
than anything else.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All right, Any more word, the President teased us that
a really big announcement. All he would say is, oh,
it's good. I wouldn't tease it if it wasn't good.
It getting ready to go to the United Arab Emirates,
and he said probably today before he leaves, a big announcement.
Still any word as to what that announcement is or
was it the United Kingdom?
Speaker 7 (22:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No, So he leaves on Monday for Saudi Arabia. That's
the first stop on his midi's trip. And you know,
to me, based upon what the President said the other
day he took when he hinted up that big announcement,
it seems to me it is likely going to be
a trade deal announcement. I don't think you delay talking
about something related to the war in Ukraine or delay
(22:31):
something related to the release of those hostages held by Jamas.
That's what leads me to belief that it's likely economic
or trade related.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, we're all taught in radio teasings everything for time
spent listing.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It has certainly worked because everything I read now, I'm
reading into that, Like, you know, he's talking about, Hey,
look I want to cease fire with Russian Ukraine. Well,
we know you want to cease fire. Why would you
say that. Maybe that's going to be the big announce
I keep reading into it. And so do we know
when this big announcement is most to me before he leaves?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, So based upon what the President said, it was
either going to be yesterday, today, or Monday prior to
his departure. So he's got a few days in which
to make that big announcement as to what it was
that he was referring to when he keeysed that big
announcement just the other day in.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
The Oval Office.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
White House correspondent John Decker, what a week, great coverage.
We'll talk again next week. Thanks for joining us. All right,
forty two minutes after the hour, I've got a bit
of a nobody cares about this, it's internal. Can you
hold up the book that you opened up out of
the mail.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
This one here? Okay, you said it was Christy Brinkley.
Well yeah, because you kept holding that up for us
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
So you were making a joke of I joke around
and you know, because remember the tonight showed whenever Johnny
had an author on, he always had the book, the hardcover,
and so I do that off the air jokingly. But
you made me think he sent me that's his book
that he wrote book. Yeah, oh okay, good, well that's
worth picking up. So anyway, Grant is a author obviously
(24:07):
and a listener. But Grant sent me a copy of
the book Sacred Understanding Divine Creation Science. But I thought
you held up the Christy Brinkley book. So when I
texted him, I said, well, thank you, but I already
have a copy.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Sorry. You know you and read book. Listen. Remember the
Gandolphini interview.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
If I weasel so much as a five thousand dollar
rais you guys aren't getting a penny.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You have done nothing but aggravate me. Today.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
There will be no Gandolphini read yelled at me through
something at the screen completely disrespectful. You made an idiot
out of me with Grant. Grant, I have your book
and I can't wait to read it, but yes I will.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I will admit.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Before God, I was more excited over the Tide seventeen
car I don't have, and I can because I'm friends
with I'll get him to sign that model and then
I'll put it on my Shelf'll be.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
At my house if you want to come get it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Why you're gonna steal it. I'm not gonna steal it.
I'm going to borrow it. I don't like the word steal.
The book or the or the or the car. I
gotta have the car. They'll both be there. But I
got to get the car signed. That's got to be
in the hall of my Hall of Fame. Okay, I
mean I got I signed, Mike Ruzione, Miracle Jersey.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Gotta have the Tide seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
But that's a good listener because we brought that One day.
Somebody asked me, was it any email or a talkback?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah? And I and I said, the Tide seventeen. It's
what I picture, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
That's that's Darryl as He's trapped in my mind now
he gives me uber rides, and we know why he
gives me uber rides. He no longer feels comfortable with
me driving his vehicle to.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
His car waking up this morning. Great, thank you for
the book, and I promise I will read it.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Stories of the day and no moral Oh no, Well,
you got a little bit of the reaction from John
Decker moments ago. But the President Trump had these words
to say on the announcement of the first American born pope.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
He spoke to reporters outside the White House. Already spoken
jo us about see what happens.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
But again, to have the boat from the United States
of America, that's a great honor.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's a great honor. Y ended.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
He looks forward to meeting Popo Leo the fourteenth. Trump
went on to say that it will be a very
meaningful moment. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
When Red is not being insubordinate and not being rude
and mean to me, and we haven't ruled out drinking problem.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
He said this, and I think he's dead on.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I think you're going to get the her tapes revealed
pretty soon, and I think there's going to be more
and not necessarily from Trump, and I think they don't
need to. There's enough Democrats coming like cockroaches out of
the floorboards with these stories. But ask yourself, why, all
of sudden are we seeing Joe and Joe Biden so much?
(27:08):
That alone tells you something's up. And the former First
Lady and you'll hear this and Sounds of the Day,
seems to be running the interviews just like she was
potentially running the White House. Joe Biden says she didn't
create a cocoon around her husband and the former President.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
While appearing on ABC's The View for the couple's first
interview together since leaving the White House, she was asked
about her husband's fitness for office during the twenty twenty
four presidential campaign. The former First Lady responded to the
assertions by noting, I mean you saw him in the
Oval office. You saw him making speeches. He wasn't hiding somewhere.
I didn't have him, you know, sequestered in some place.
(27:44):
The interview comes as the former President has been slowly
stepping back into the spotlight.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I'm Lisa Taylor, one of the new Pope's brothers, says,
the Holy Father, By the way, can you believe for
saying this, we have a pope.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That is a Chicago White Sox. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
This is going to take some getting used to, especially
because he's not a Cubs fan. Chris Caragio has details.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
John Prevost says his younger brother was always.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
A fan of the South Siders.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
After news broke Thursday that Chicago's Robert Prevost had indeed
been elected pope, the Cubs quickly claimed him with a
message on the Wrigley Field marquee that read he's a
Cubs fan. The White Sox responded saying family knows best.
They also say a White Sox jersey with the pope's
name and a cap are already headed to the Vatican.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm Chris Karashi. I know you guys can't relate this.
My dad had a friend named Dad Duty. I think,
well that's still live or maybe he had passed. He
was a White Sox fan, and he hated the Cubs
so much he absolutely refused to ever go to Wrigley Field. Now,
when I was growing up, I gotta be honest with you,
till I was about fourteen years old, I loved him both,
(28:55):
and you know, the Cubs was kind of more of
the heartbreak family thing, and then you know, the White
Sox are more the adult thing. The White Sox were
fal Staff, Harry Carey, drunk by the seventh that aing
have a good time, but we loved them both. And
then as an adult, I can tell you I have
embraced the old adage where I love the Cubs and
(29:16):
I hate the White Sox. But it's funny how much
attention that's getting. With the announcement of America's first Pope,
Pope two sixty seven from the South Side of Chicago,
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, taking the name Louis the fourteenth. Well,
here's some bad news. Three Doors Down lead singer Brad
(29:37):
Arnold says he's been diagnosed with a form of kidney cancer,
and a video posted on his Instagram, Arnold said he
was diagnosed with stage four renal cell carsonoma.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He also added to the cancer and metastasized into his lung.
This is not good.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Because of the diagnosis, Three Doors Down has canceled their
upcoming tour, which was set to kick off on May
fifteenth and Daytona Beach, Florida. He has all of our
thoughts and prayers, Sunday is Mother's Day, and it's not
too late to get something for mom. Uncommon Goods took
a look at what most common Mother's Day gifts are
(30:12):
across the country in thirteen states.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
A floral bouquet. I like a handwritten letter.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I like hours of time, clear communication of gratitude and honoring.
But if you want a company with flowers, yeah, that's
a nice gesture. Others include, by the way, people don't
just do. Remember when we were little, did we all
went to brunch, didn't we? Well, yeah, we'd go down
(30:39):
to either. Brunch is not a big deal anymore. I
think I did to get old school. Can even is
there a church? So normally brunches going on while we're
in church. That's why it's unfamiliar to Well, I go
to church too, mister Pye. That's what I'm saying. That's
what I'm saying. That's why we used to like when
I was growing up, you always went to hotels, really
fancy brunches on Mother's Day, Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh no, Charlie's. You know, Hey, this tastes spoiled, and
you keep eating.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
In others in other places like Massachusetts, at New York
it's food and wine that would be odd to give
mom having Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
He is a bottle of wine, you drunk. I don't
get that one. Beat your mom's brains out in spades.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Well yeah, but that's not like hey, momy bunch, just
any earrings. That's creepy too. I don't just tell her
what she means to you and be grateful she's still
here to tell God bless you all. My mom's out
there listening, and happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
We honor you.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
In sports, Warriors fell to the Wolves, that series now
tied at one game apiece. Caps got beat by the
Hurricanes three to one, evening that series up at one each,
and the Oilers won five to four. It took overtime
over the Golden Knights. Edmonton now leads that series two
games to nothing. In baseball, Tigers win a doubleheader over
the Rockies easy. I might add ten two eleven to one,
(31:59):
raise los seven to six of the Phillies and Dbacks
beat the Dodgers five to three.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I had a pretty.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Uncomfortable encounter with a large needle and a man in
the lab who was very inexperienced with dehydrated veins. I
had to get my a one c checked. Oh this guy,
I told him. When I sat down, I said, now
I have problems because there's one woman there that does it.
(32:33):
I'm telling you, I can stare at the needle and
not feel it go in, and she gets it every time.
What I was really trying to say to the man
was I really don't feel comfortable you doing this. And
then she walked over and I said, I wanted you
right in front of him. So, for the life of me,
I don't know if he didn't take seriously how difficult
my veins are, or if after that comment he was
(32:56):
trying to inflict pain. But he jammed is not out
of me seven times. I ended up with three bandages.
We finally got the blood work done. By the way,
my ANC was down, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Go figure.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I thought for sure I was diabetic. Well, you know,
you don't craft a body like this by chance. That
is a hard, hard work nurtured over decades. So the
ANC was down actually like four whatever it was. But
on the way home, I was so agitated that I
(33:29):
stopped at McDonald's and I got a sausage egg and
cheese mcmuffs was so delicious. It's been a while since
I had one, so much better than you know, the
Jimmy Dean Januk and it was so good I wasn't
even mad that, of course they forgot my hash brows.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And then I got the good news that my A
and C was down.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Hill. Chow Now
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Jordan, and I won't be here on Sunday to say this,
so let me say it right now. To all my
moms out there listening. Blessings. I hope you all have
a breastful.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Though it won't be.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Cherish. Tell those lazy kids they want to a thing.
I have a wonder Mother's Day. We honor all of you.
Thank God bless you on this Mother's Day weekend. All right,
eight minutes after the hour, if you're just waking up,
the smoke finally appeared.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I was a little shocked.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I didn't think it would be till first or second
vote today, but it was day two, fourth vote and
a long shot, not a favorite to boot. And an
hour later, the two hundred and sixty seventh Pope appeared,
and it was Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the South
Side of Chicago by way of Villanova University, the first
(01:35):
pope from America in the two thousand year history of
the Catholic Church. National correspondent Roy O'Neil is joining us.
We're going to talk a lot about Mother's Day, but
I got to get your immediate reaction.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I know, I texted you immediately. It's an a Medica
exclamation point. That was a shocker. I did not expect that.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, right, because it traditionally had been we won't make
an American because America already has enough influence on the
world world was sort of the long held thought. But
to pick this pope who was described as the least
American of the Americans is also pretty interesting. You know,
there are ten American cardinals in the College of Cardinals.
(02:13):
Only Italy has more at seventeen, so we are a
considerable voting block as well. And when you have such
now the most diverse college of cardinals ever, representing seventy
one different nations, and that now Pope Leo's job for
the past couple of years has been outreached to many
of these areas, many of the gardinals.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
They have just picked the guy they knew in the room.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well he's a Francis appointed cardinal. I don't know, And
everybody's trying to find the political lines, and I think
that's a terrible place to start. It does seem like
what I was hoping for my Catholic brothers and sisters,
the humility, the love and the spirit of Francis, but
maybe a little tightening up on the doctrinal front.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And I think that's what you get. A lot.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
There's some unknowns, but he is not He has shares
the views on global warming, but not so fast on
you know, women as deacons.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Not so fast for the LGBTQ agenda.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I think you get the spirit of Francis, but I
do think you get to turn back towards center doctrine,
or at least that's.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
My early take.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Yeah, we heard from his brothers, and don't me the cardinals,
I mean his actual brothers. Who has said, he's sort
of a middle of the road guy. But I think
it's going to be more conservative internally for the church,
but as you said, sort of keeping the line of
Francis outwardly. When it comes to the church's role and
trying to end poverty, you know, the threat of climate
change and those kinds of big picture issues, I think
(03:39):
he will be more liberal, more progressive. But when it
comes to internal matters of the church, like female priests,
like the role of homosexuals in the church, I think
that is going to be more conservative.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, there's also been this sense by the way the brother,
the older brother from Florida, I mean, just telling the story,
it was priceless, you know, right, brothers.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
The pulp you mad. I don't know. I can't even relate.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But he tells the story about he was always holy
and they used to call him holy. They used to
joke with him, we were going to be pope some day,
and then he became cardinal and then can you imagine
when he's announced, he did come out in more formal attire.
I think there's going to be a return to formality.
I think he's very christ focused. I don't think you
go more than one degree and he's to Jesus and
that's all he really wants to talk about, which I like.
(04:21):
He's spoken Italian and in Spanish but not English until
Mass this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't know what we're overreading into that, but we are.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
But it was also fun to hear just you know,
a bit of a Chicago accent there coming from up Hope.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's just sort of a head scratch.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, my first thought to my friend Pete Christiano was
all right, Cubs are socks. That's how we do it
in Chicago right away, And the early indication was he
was a Cubs fan, but then his brother and the
others made it clear he's a Chicago White Sox fan.
So right, they do love everything about the guy. Do
we have a minute or should we do Mother's Day later?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
We could do it now.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay, so Mother's Day one minute? Mother's Day shopping? First
of all, I can tell you what all moms want.
They just want you around, just be there, tell them
how you feel a good card.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But what do we get mom? And what have we
been spending big bucks.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
On thirty four billion dollars to be spent for Mother's Day?
A lot of that is going to be spent on dinner,
out on flowers. Flowers the number one gift greeting cards
about the same around seventy three, seventy four percent. But
dinner or that Mother's Day brunch that's going to be
the celebration for sixty one percent of Americans. Average spend
is two hundred and fifty nine dollars and four cents.
(05:31):
So nothing to sneeze that about seven billion of that
is going to be in jewelry.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
By the way, whatever it is, it won't be enough
for the sacrifices she's made. I look forward to seeing
my mother on Mother's Day and the mother of my
children on Mother's Day both.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And do you still have your mom? Rory?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I do not know, so it's you know, it's a
little bit more. Yeah, Rus, sorry for your loss. Happy
Mother's Day to all the moms listening, and Wi'll be
back to talk more about Cardinal Prevost, who is now
Pope Leo the fourteenth when your morning show continues, all right,
twelve minutes after the hour, Let that you know, sink
into all of you. Don't ever take tomorrow for granted.
(06:11):
For those of you that have moms, do not get
too busy there'll be a day you can't make sure
you spend time with mom, Love on mom, and bring
her something expensive if you can. I've already given my
mother everything, so I don't know what else to bring.
I think we'll just quietly play Spaids and I'll beat
her once again. Maybe I'll let her win on Mother's
(06:32):
Day for a change. That well, we were very competitive
when I was a kid. We used to play spaids
and she would win, and then when she'd do the
next core card, she'd put champ for her name and chump.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
For my name.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So now I return the favor, only I do it
on the eraser board, and I leave it for everybody
in the nursing home to see.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That she's the jump Boo got beat jump.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
A couple of poles of plenty to kick around, and
nothing compares to the announcement of a new pope from
a new stand point. But I thought these were two
very telling. The first because of the matrix, right, And
because of the matrix, you would you would think, well,
the world is just split in half, right, So if
(07:16):
if the question arises, you know who's dividing America, you
would expect the right matrix to say the left and
the left matrix to say the right right, But everybody
looks for someone to blame. Now, I always do this
with the mirror first, because I remember I used to
(07:37):
have to challenge myself. I may have prayed for Barack
Obama once or twice in eight years. What a despicable
thing for a believer to say out loud. And in
the end it became a crisis of prayer, and I
would say to God, I helped me. And at first
I would just sit there silent. I didn't know what
to do. So wasn't I guilty of blaming everything on him?
(08:02):
Or were we all guilty of blaming everything on Biden?
Not the failed worldview, not the field policy view, not
the wrong direction, learn from it, don't return to that again,
and head in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Are we all the good?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's staying one nation under God, not a president, indivisible,
not divided by the matrix deliberty. I mean, in other words,
it's a challenge for all of us. And I say
that because now as I read the poll results to you,
you're about to begin.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You're gonna get like a wild animal.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
As my mother would say, What does this poll ultimately
prove we still live in the matrix. The real telling
poll will be whether we still exist.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Post Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But but all right, let's Resmussen does a television a
telephone poll to find out, you know, is Donald Trump
uniting or dividing? Because we had a fan same conversation yesterday,
was Barack Obama perceived I know what his blood makeup was,
but perceived as the first black president ever? Did that
make racial relations better or worse? Black lives matter? Of course,
all lives matter. If you've got your creator right, his
(09:12):
creation made in his image, They're all mattering. That's why
I've been so pro life. It has predominantly affected one race.
But fair question. As Donald Trump made America never mind
better or great, as he made us more or less divided.
(09:36):
Fifty four percent of likely US voters think America has
become more divided, thirty four percent of the country's become
more united Beauties in the eye of the matrix beholder.
Forty eight percent say Trump is more to blame for
dividing Americans, while twenty five percent think his political opponents
(09:56):
and a Democrat party are to blame. Now, what cuts
to the chase of all of this needs to be
said out loud. This is the card the Democrats played
in the twenty twenty four presidential election. It was all
about law fair, demonization, rapist fell in, boogeyman but botch,
(10:24):
as we say in Italian, and it failed. And it
failed with Kamala Harris getting read. Do you remember what
percentage of the vote she got overall? Because I think
it was forty eight percent. So you know, we always
criticized polls aren't accurate.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Eh, this one seems accurate. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
What really turned the election was failing to deliver for Hispanics,
conflating Hispanics with the legal criminals, what a dumb idea.
Failing to deliver for black Americans and losing those key
and then losing the youth that was really key. But overall,
this is about how it fell. So worldview and policy
(11:11):
views failed in America. I mean, the thing you can't
get around heading in the wrong direction. That's what caused
the election to go the way did. But these numbers
are almost right on forty eight percent. Say Trump is
to blame. I noticed that from everybody. Nobody wants to talk.
I tried to have a sensible conversation with somebody yesterday
about not COVID, but vaccines in general. And you just
can't over and over again, They'll just repeat narratives to you. Well,
(11:34):
Robert Kennedy's anti VAC. Well, no, he's been labeled anti vacs.
He wanted more research and testing for vaxes, especially unknown vacs.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Completely thrust upon us like COVID.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Nah, you suit him, he's anti vact You just you
can't get by the narratives.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
But isn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Silly or ironic? Forty eight percent blamed Trump for dividing America.
And I'll end I'll dismount with this as if we
weren't divided before Donald Trump. But somebody has to take
on the face of standing up for what's right, and
they get all the wrath and that comes out in
(12:19):
this number. Seventy five percent think Trump is more to
blame for dividing Americans than any other president. To give
me a break, most voters don't see these divisions leading
the country towards civil war. Thirty nine percent believe the
United States is likely to experience the Second Civil War.
David Den and I did a podcast because we thought
it was coming. I feel less so today, thank god.
(12:40):
Fifty one percent don't think of other civil wars likely.
Fifty three percent of Democrats, thirty four percent of Republicans,
twenty eight percent of voters not affiliated with either major
party consider a second World war or a second civil
war at least somewhat likely.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It is a war that simply cannot be and nor
can this matrix and division.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You can't divide your way to unity any better than
you can spend your way out of debt. But we're
always looking for someone to blame. Now, one thing we
do know, the Democrats do blame Elon Musk. Here's another
Rasmussen seventy one percent of Democrats want Elon Musk in prison.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So loving, so tolerant, so non narrativized.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Right, Hello, it's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I'm not joking. I sweat. I laughed so hard I'm sweating.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'm like, try, I think.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That may have been the funniest thing I've ever done
in my life.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Show just go.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We really got to start airing what happens around here
during the commercial way better than the show I hear.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, the world and one
point four billion Catholics have a new pope and guess what,
For the first time in two thousand years, it's an American.
The two hundred and sixty seventh Pope is the Cardinal
Robert Francis, prevost from the South side of Chicago by
(14:05):
way of Villanova University, and everybody wants to know where
he stands politically, and all you know so far is
where he stands spiritually. He has kept the focus in
his first hours as pope on Christ, on the church.
For those that are curious, and I know you are.
He was appointed by Francis. He seems to be in tone,
(14:30):
in personableness, and in spirit very much like Francis. Not
as far left on the doctrinal issues, especially as it
relates to ordaining women as deacons.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He is not for that.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Nobody believes that he is as progressive when it comes
to the LGBTQ agenda.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
You just never know. A pope has to assume.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
His papacy and they can often become something very unique
and to themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
What it appears is a more formal pope.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
We could tell by the way he dressed a lot
anticipate this on being a quiet pope outside of the
issues of the church, and something that hasn't come up yet.
This morning at Villanova University was a math major. This
guy's like a CEO. He's got a very business mind.
I mean, one of the great contributions could be get
the books in Order of the Catholic Church as well.
(15:26):
But you have a new pope and his name is
Pope Leo, the fourteenth President. Trump says it's too late
for the FED to cut interest rates. Now, oh he
wanted him cut and they just didn't happen.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Before his cabinet meeting, Trump noted that England and China
cut rates, but Benn church Room Powell chose not to
on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I call him too late. Too late Powell, that's his
nick name, and it's a shame. It's ridiculous. Powell has
said if Trump wants to.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Talk to him, he needs to call him, to which
Trump responded, it's like talking to a wall.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He went on to say that a.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Rid cut wouldn't make much difference because the US ECONO
is so strong.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'm Mark Meyfield.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, the Warriors fell to the Wolves one seventeen to
ninety three, so that series ties up at one game apiece.
The Thunder even their series at one game apiece. The
two that are in trouble are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who
are down to nothing to the Pacers and the Celtics,
astonishingly beat twice at home by the Knicks. Caps beat
the Hurricanes three to one. In hockey, Oilers won five
(16:23):
to four and overtime Edverinton leads that series now two
games to nothing. I'm Orlando math in Smyrna, Tennessee, and
my morning shows your Morning Show with Michael Dale Journal.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'm Michael and your Morning Show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five, nine
twelve fifty w hn Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy WKBN 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. Enjoy, am I
(17:03):
the only one that time is like really crazy flying lately.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Can you believe it's Friday? No? I cannot.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I don't even remember what we did this week. I
kind of remember talking to an author, but that's about it.
Time flies. I guess when you're having fun, we must
be having a blast. Welcome to my son's birthday. Friday,
made the tenth year of our Lord twenty twenty five.
Tomorrow will be my father, Bob del Jorno, a fifty
year radio veteran, his birthday. I would tell you which birthday,
but if I said he was eighty seven, he'd be mortified.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So don't do that. Are the tariffs working? Tis the
question of the hour.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
But you know, before I get to that, John Decker,
our White House correspondent, is joining us hanging around the
White House yesterday. What was the President's overall response to
white smoke appearing? Second day, fourth vote and it's not
a favorite, it's a long shot and a first in
two thousand years in American pope.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
What was the presidential reaction?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Well, we got his reaction when he walked out of
West Wing yesterday after announcing that trade deal with the UK.
The President seemed very pleased, like so many other Americans,
that the pope is an American. He said he looks
forward to meeting with.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
The new Pope.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
A call has already been placed to arrange that meeting.
So I think that his feeling was the one that's
shared by so many Americans. Right now, a sense of
pride that the new pope is from Chicago as American,
and it's a really remarkable thing.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I don't think i'd ever see that in my lifetime.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Now, at the White Sox turn around and start winning,
you'll know there's a power in that seat. That was
our first. Couple of my friends and I were texting
back and forth. I presume because he was born in
nineteen fifty five, you know, looking back at White Sox teams,
because if you're born in fifty five, you really first
start following your team at about six seventy maybe eight
(18:53):
years old at the latest. And I was thinking, boy,
the Cubs were a lot better in the mid sixties
and the White Socks.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I bet he's the Cubs.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Then Wrigley Field put a sign up and everybody assumed
he was a Cubs fan. And then it's made clear, No,
he's a Southsider and he's a white size go figure.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Yeah, well, I'm sure he's a Bears fan, right, Yeah
he was.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It's hard to believe.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's what makes it so neat John, that we have
a pope now that probably thought Bob Aveleene he's stunk,
just like I did. Growing up watching you don't even
know Bob Avalleene. That's Proofie stunk all right. In terms
of the tariffs, are they working? Is the President getting
what he wants?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I guess that depends on who you talk to. But
a good next step is the deal with the United Kingdom, right, Well.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
That's right, it's a first step, right. And the President
told me yesterday when he came out of the West
Wing that three other deals are in the works. And
he says that the countries that the US is talking to,
once those deals are completed are consummated, they'd like to
have some sort of an event regarding a trade deal
here at the White House. And so the President seemed
(19:59):
pretty pleased buy that, pretty optimistic by that. You know,
you asked me whether or not this trade deal is working.
You know, like you said, it really depends who you're
talking to. I think it's a little bit early to
you know, declare victory or you say that it's not working.
I think it really does take some time rather than
(20:20):
relying on one month's worth of data to determine whether
or not the President's tariff's policy is a success.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
White House correspondent John Decker I think I about five
or six of those questions from the President. I'm pretty
soon you're gonna have a position in this White House.
I don't think I'm going to lose my White House.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'll tell you definitively, no, thank you.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
That's enough job. I would never want that job. I
love what I do, so no, I know, but it's
wonderful that we're getting access to the President. So we
we kind of, I say we, I shouldn't do that.
I kind of expected Japan to be the first deal
and maybe France the second deal, and it turns out
to be the United Kingdom first. But the United Kingdom
(21:02):
is the bigger of the deals to get done. I
think now attention turns what probably to India, Japan, France,
maybe Canada.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Although yeah, I didn't go.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Very well South Korea. Let's not forget South Korea. South
Korea is a country the President has already struck a
trade deal with. He did that in his first term.
I was with him in Seoul when he struck that
trade deal with South Korea, and so I would be
surprised if that's not one of the next deals that
the President announces a deal with South Korea. But the
(21:31):
other ones that you mentioned, the other countries that you mentioned,
I could see that happening as well.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The President.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
You know, as it relates to European countries, you know,
it's tough to strike a specific trade deal with a
specific European country because of course they're a part of
the European Union. So you're dealing with the EU more
than anything else.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All right, Any more word, the President teased us that
a really big announcement. All he would say is, oh,
it's good. I wouldn't tease it if it wasn't good.
It getting ready to go to the United Arab Emirates,
and he said probably today before he leaves, a big announcement.
Still any word as to what that announcement is or
was it the United Kingdom?
Speaker 7 (22:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No, So he leaves on Monday for Saudi Arabia. That's
the first stop on his midi's trip. And you know,
to me, based upon what the President said the other
day he took when he hinted up that big announcement,
it seems to me it is likely going to be
a trade deal announcement. I don't think you delay talking
about something related to the war in Ukraine or delay
(22:31):
something related to the release of those hostages held by Jamas.
That's what leads me to belief that it's likely economic
or trade related.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, we're all taught in radio teasings everything for time
spent listing.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It has certainly worked because everything I read now, I'm
reading into that, Like, you know, he's talking about, Hey,
look I want to cease fire with Russian Ukraine. Well,
we know you want to cease fire. Why would you
say that. Maybe that's going to be the big announce
I keep reading into it. And so do we know
when this big announcement is most to me before he leaves?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, So based upon what the President said, it was
either going to be yesterday, today, or Monday prior to
his departure. So he's got a few days in which
to make that big announcement as to what it was
that he was referring to when he keeysed that big
announcement just the other day in.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
The Oval Office.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
White House correspondent John Decker, what a week, great coverage.
We'll talk again next week. Thanks for joining us. All right,
forty two minutes after the hour, I've got a bit
of a nobody cares about this, it's internal. Can you
hold up the book that you opened up out of
the mail.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
This one here? Okay, you said it was Christy Brinkley.
Well yeah, because you kept holding that up for us
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
So you were making a joke of I joke around
and you know, because remember the tonight showed whenever Johnny
had an author on, he always had the book, the hardcover,
and so I do that off the air jokingly. But
you made me think he sent me that's his book
that he wrote book. Yeah, oh okay, good, well that's
worth picking up. So anyway, Grant is a author obviously
(24:07):
and a listener. But Grant sent me a copy of
the book Sacred Understanding Divine Creation Science. But I thought
you held up the Christy Brinkley book. So when I
texted him, I said, well, thank you, but I already
have a copy.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Sorry. You know you and read book. Listen. Remember the
Gandolphini interview.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
If I weasel so much as a five thousand dollar
rais you guys aren't getting a penny.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You have done nothing but aggravate me. Today.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
There will be no Gandolphini read yelled at me through
something at the screen completely disrespectful. You made an idiot
out of me with Grant. Grant, I have your book
and I can't wait to read it, but yes I will.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I will admit.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Before God, I was more excited over the Tide seventeen
car I don't have, and I can because I'm friends
with I'll get him to sign that model and then
I'll put it on my Shelf'll be.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
At my house if you want to come get it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Why you're gonna steal it. I'm not gonna steal it.
I'm going to borrow it. I don't like the word steal.
The book or the or the or the car. I
gotta have the car. They'll both be there. But I
got to get the car signed. That's got to be
in the hall of my Hall of Fame. Okay, I
mean I got I signed, Mike Ruzione, Miracle Jersey.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Gotta have the Tide seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
But that's a good listener because we brought that One day.
Somebody asked me, was it any email or a talkback?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah? And I and I said, the Tide seventeen. It's
what I picture, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
That's that's Darryl as He's trapped in my mind now
he gives me uber rides, and we know why he
gives me uber rides. He no longer feels comfortable with
me driving his vehicle to.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
His car waking up this morning. Great, thank you for
the book, and I promise I will read it.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Stories of the day and no moral Oh no, Well,
you got a little bit of the reaction from John
Decker moments ago. But the President Trump had these words
to say on the announcement of the first American born pope.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
He spoke to reporters outside the White House. Already spoken
jo us about see what happens.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
But again, to have the boat from the United States
of America, that's a great honor.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's a great honor. Y ended.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
He looks forward to meeting Popo Leo the fourteenth. Trump
went on to say that it will be a very
meaningful moment. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
When Red is not being insubordinate and not being rude
and mean to me, and we haven't ruled out drinking problem.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
He said this, and I think he's dead on.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I think you're going to get the her tapes revealed
pretty soon, and I think there's going to be more
and not necessarily from Trump, and I think they don't
need to. There's enough Democrats coming like cockroaches out of
the floorboards with these stories. But ask yourself, why, all
of sudden are we seeing Joe and Joe Biden so much?
(27:08):
That alone tells you something's up. And the former First
Lady and you'll hear this and Sounds of the Day,
seems to be running the interviews just like she was
potentially running the White House. Joe Biden says she didn't
create a cocoon around her husband and the former President.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
While appearing on ABC's The View for the couple's first
interview together since leaving the White House, she was asked
about her husband's fitness for office during the twenty twenty
four presidential campaign. The former First Lady responded to the
assertions by noting, I mean you saw him in the
Oval office. You saw him making speeches. He wasn't hiding somewhere.
I didn't have him, you know, sequestered in some place.
(27:44):
The interview comes as the former President has been slowly
stepping back into the spotlight.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I'm Lisa Taylor, one of the new Pope's brothers, says,
the Holy Father, By the way, can you believe for
saying this, we have a pope.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That is a Chicago White Sox. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
This is going to take some getting used to, especially
because he's not a Cubs fan. Chris Caragio has details.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
John Prevost says his younger brother was always.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
A fan of the South Siders.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
After news broke Thursday that Chicago's Robert Prevost had indeed
been elected pope, the Cubs quickly claimed him with a
message on the Wrigley Field marquee that read he's a
Cubs fan. The White Sox responded saying family knows best.
They also say a White Sox jersey with the pope's
name and a cap are already headed to the Vatican.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm Chris Karashi. I know you guys can't relate this.
My dad had a friend named Dad Duty. I think,
well that's still live or maybe he had passed. He
was a White Sox fan, and he hated the Cubs
so much he absolutely refused to ever go to Wrigley Field. Now,
when I was growing up, I gotta be honest with you,
till I was about fourteen years old, I loved him both,
(28:55):
and you know, the Cubs was kind of more of
the heartbreak family thing, and then you know, the White
Sox are more the adult thing. The White Sox were
fal Staff, Harry Carey, drunk by the seventh that aing
have a good time, but we loved them both. And
then as an adult, I can tell you I have
embraced the old adage where I love the Cubs and
(29:16):
I hate the White Sox. But it's funny how much
attention that's getting. With the announcement of America's first Pope,
Pope two sixty seven from the South Side of Chicago,
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, taking the name Louis the fourteenth. Well,
here's some bad news. Three Doors Down lead singer Brad
(29:37):
Arnold says he's been diagnosed with a form of kidney cancer,
and a video posted on his Instagram, Arnold said he
was diagnosed with stage four renal cell carsonoma.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He also added to the cancer and metastasized into his lung.
This is not good.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Because of the diagnosis, Three Doors Down has canceled their
upcoming tour, which was set to kick off on May
fifteenth and Daytona Beach, Florida. He has all of our
thoughts and prayers, Sunday is Mother's Day, and it's not
too late to get something for mom. Uncommon Goods took
a look at what most common Mother's Day gifts are
(30:12):
across the country in thirteen states.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
A floral bouquet. I like a handwritten letter.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I like hours of time, clear communication of gratitude and honoring.
But if you want a company with flowers, yeah, that's
a nice gesture. Others include, by the way, people don't
just do. Remember when we were little, did we all
went to brunch, didn't we? Well, yeah, we'd go down
(30:39):
to either. Brunch is not a big deal anymore. I
think I did to get old school. Can even is
there a church? So normally brunches going on while we're
in church. That's why it's unfamiliar to Well, I go
to church too, mister Pye. That's what I'm saying. That's
what I'm saying. That's why we used to like when
I was growing up, you always went to hotels, really
fancy brunches on Mother's Day, Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh no, Charlie's. You know, Hey, this tastes spoiled, and
you keep eating.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
In others in other places like Massachusetts, at New York
it's food and wine that would be odd to give
mom having Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
He is a bottle of wine, you drunk. I don't
get that one. Beat your mom's brains out in spades.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Well yeah, but that's not like hey, momy bunch, just
any earrings. That's creepy too. I don't just tell her
what she means to you and be grateful she's still
here to tell God bless you all. My mom's out
there listening, and happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
We honor you.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
In sports, Warriors fell to the Wolves, that series now
tied at one game apiece. Caps got beat by the
Hurricanes three to one, evening that series up at one each,
and the Oilers won five to four. It took overtime
over the Golden Knights. Edmonton now leads that series two
games to nothing. In baseball, Tigers win a doubleheader over
the Rockies easy. I might add ten two eleven to one,
(31:59):
raise los seven to six of the Phillies and Dbacks
beat the Dodgers five to three.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I had a pretty.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Uncomfortable encounter with a large needle and a man in
the lab who was very inexperienced with dehydrated veins. I
had to get my a one c checked. Oh this guy,
I told him. When I sat down, I said, now
I have problems because there's one woman there that does it.
(32:33):
I'm telling you, I can stare at the needle and
not feel it go in, and she gets it every time.
What I was really trying to say to the man
was I really don't feel comfortable you doing this. And
then she walked over and I said, I wanted you
right in front of him. So, for the life of me,
I don't know if he didn't take seriously how difficult
my veins are, or if after that comment he was
(32:56):
trying to inflict pain. But he jammed is not out
of me seven times. I ended up with three bandages.
We finally got the blood work done. By the way,
my ANC was down, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Go figure.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I thought for sure I was diabetic. Well, you know,
you don't craft a body like this by chance. That
is a hard, hard work nurtured over decades. So the
ANC was down actually like four whatever it was. But
on the way home, I was so agitated that I
(33:29):
stopped at McDonald's and I got a sausage egg and
cheese mcmuffs was so delicious. It's been a while since
I had one, so much better than you know, the
Jimmy Dean Januk and it was so good I wasn't
even mad that, of course they forgot my hash brows.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And then I got the good news that my A
and C was down.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
