Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. We're thrilled you're here. Now,
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno seven
minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Good morning, and welcome to Monday, May, the eleventh year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
On the air, streaming live on.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Your iHeartRadio app, and great cities across the country, but
most importantly to your ear directly, this is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Journo, honored to serve you. Jeffreys got
the sound. Red's wearing Red keeping an eye on the content.
The President has rejected Iran's response to our proposal. They're
nowhere near each other on every aspect control of the
(01:00):
straight rebuilding. Admitting you're wrong, I mean they're asking us
to surrender when they're defeated long way to go, but
the diplomatic efforts will continue. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin's Putin has
signaled that Russia Ukraine War could be coming to an
end soon, and the administration is kicking around, even suspending
the gasoline text to help make gas more affordable as
(01:23):
the crisis continues. With a Ron devilware is prot A
two dominated the North American box office. Though I saw
Michael again to kick off the weekend, and I think
Andrew and her friend may go today.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I can go a third time. You gonna check it
out third time. I can't get enough of Michael.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You know, we didn't have a childhood like normal people.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That's why you had a rats Mickey Mouse doing. Michael Jackson,
thanks for.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The criticism, negative spirit, and the New York Knickerbockers have
punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final, sweeping the
seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
His playoff action continued this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I was golfing with somebody, and you know it happens
from time to time, about fifteen twelve, fifteen holes in
somebody will finally go, what do you do for a living?
And when I explained to this person, Well, I have
a talk show that's on the Premiere Radio network.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And then we started talking about and he made a
comment based on how long I've.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Been doing it, which is I don't even know now
forty three years and then thirty thirty eight in talk
radio about all the change. Wow, you've seen a lot
of change, and I have. I got a chance to experience,
you know. One of my first real jobs was in
(02:42):
New Orleans at WTIX, which was the big oldies station,
and I can I can tell you.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We had we had records that we queued up. We
had a reel to.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Reel behind us where in two and a half three
minute songs I'd hit record, answer the phone and mess
with people in New Orleans, then turn around in my
chair at it with a grease pencil, queue it up,
hit the next song as after I queued it up.
But it was just for an ad D person. It
was heaven. I was doing fifty million things at once
and that was perfect for my brain. And the energy
(03:11):
and the interaction with the audience. It was great. And
that was the old days of radio where you were
a big shot if you were on a radio station
kind of thing. All the way to the corporate takeover
to Jeffrey will tell you there are stations in cities
you live in where there's six or seven radio stations
(03:31):
in a building and there's nobody in the building. I mean,
if you want to torture me, put me in a
room where a computer does everything and I just stand there.
Not that anybody's doing that. It's mostly voice tracked. But
if I was sitting there waiting twenty minutes to talk
for eight seconds, I'd go crazy. And I use the
analogy to this guy. I made a movie one time
that I could have never been an actor that's sitting
(03:53):
around eight hours waiting for one to two minutes of go.
It just didn't work for me. But the point is
the discussion of how radio has changed, and I thought
to myself, what could have possibly changed as much as radio,
and not even television as much as politics came to mind.
(04:14):
Any potential presidential candidate coming up in twenty twenty eight,
they will have to operate not as candidates, but as
content creators. And just like radio, it won't be enough
to just be who you are. You'll need social media,
video operations, you'll need podcasting, You'll need substack accounts, you'll
need merchandise. And I thought to myself when I visit
(04:39):
with Chris Walker on Monday. Here is a consultant and
analyst in a field. It used to be about your resume,
your ability ability to win hearts and minds and communicate
to the American people, your leadership capabilities. It took a
lot a lot of money. Now it still takes a
lot of money, but it's a whole different game. Did
(05:01):
you opee, consultant Chris Walker, we say, good morning. How
much has it changed justin you've been doing this.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Good morning, Michael a lot. You know, obviously social media
has changed the game in a lot of ways, but
it also is the same in a lot of ways too.
You've got a candidate, the best candidate wins nine times
out of ten. You know, that includes fundraising and everything.
Now the fundraising changes from solely a TV model to a.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Little bit of social media.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But you know, we're working on government release campaign in Tennessee.
One of the things that I'd like to remind our
because we were outspent a lot, is, you know, social
media can be a very easy thing to see from
those of us who are politically active and engaged, but
I think it's it's good to remember that when you
look at Twitter, you know, one in ten voters are
on Twitter, maybe on a good day, and so you're
(05:52):
losing nine percent of an audience when you think of
a social media only campaign. And I think a lot
of consultants in DC are who are making a lot
of money off of social media, are convincing people that
social media plays the way to go, but you're missing
a vast swath of your potential audience. I think is
a big problem for the GP in general because in
a way, we are, you know, really hemorrhaging under forty
voters because I think we've become perennially online as a
(06:15):
party rather than kind of going and talking to people
in a real kind of you know, grassroos efforts.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So boom, boom, stop right there, boom, that's a boom
shot a lock, and we got to stop right there.
If I'm running for school board, if I'm running for
city council, or even if I'm running for mayor, I ultimately,
if you've already acknowledged, best candidate wins not out of
ten times, so you've got to have the goods. But
assuming everybody's equal and has the goods and has the qualifications.
(06:41):
I go door to door, I meet real human beings.
I speak at events, I go to breakfasts, I have
coffees and homes. You can still win one on one.
Problem is when you run for statewide, whether it's Senate
or governor or certainly president nationwide, and even then, let's
be honest, it's not nationwide. There are X number of
states will be blue nomie matter what, we'll be read,
no matter what, we will identify not just the top
(07:03):
eight to nine swing states, but really swing precincts in
swing districts.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Of those swing states.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And if you can't touch them in person, well then
you're going to have to touch them in other ways.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And that's where this can come in.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
How much of this is the amount of money adjusted
for inflation is about the same. How you spend it,
where you spend it, and how early you spend it.
That's still to me the big key. They're spending too
early and based on perception of where people are, and
they're a lot less there than they think. Doesn't that
nail it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think that's right. I mean, look, the value of
social media isn't the actual tweet it's the attention that
it can get. So you could very chiefly get attention
Spencer Pratt. I don't think it's spending a lot of money,
but yet we're talking about them as an LA Marriors race.
Now I think at the end of the day, Spencer
was going to lose by fifteen in LA just because
it's LA. And I think we need to remind ourselves.
(07:59):
And I think that's thing that social media is kind
of hurting people's, you know, worldview is that you can
the algorithm can feed you whatever you want, and it
continues to kind of feed biases that I think some
people don't realize isn't reality, and so in a way,
people can get very overly excited about something that really
you got to start looking at the actual numbers. And
again you're right, door to door actually works now in
(08:21):
a presidential campaign or state wide campaign. Obviously, you know,
the funding for that matters. But again, social media is
a tool to actually get the wider audience of television
and mass media to pick it up. So you as
a radio host is more important than a twee Twitter
feed because you've got more sooney and more people listening
(08:43):
to you. In Nashville and and all of your markets
than you do just on Twitter feed. I mean, how
many times have we opened up for social media and
seen a tweet come up and then it's just gone
and you don't want how to find it because it
was doom scroll down to the down to oblivion. You know,
the only thing that actually lasts in terms of narrative
creation is media. And so whether it's TV news, radio news,
(09:08):
you know, television advertising, to a certain degree, that's still
the main function of how to get someone's message out.
Chris Walker, a posential candidate or you're a state wide candidate,
you gotta be with TV because that's where people actually
continue to get information over the long haul, not just
on a kind of dope meme drip of a phone.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Chris Walker is an analyst and a consultant for the GOP.
We're talking about twenty twenty eight presidential elections and how
different they are now. It's more content creation than campaigns.
But it's not as different as you think. In fact,
one of the things I wonder if people like you,
or those who do this for a living, everyone talks
about what they perceive is so different. Does anybody discuss
(09:47):
what hasn't changed. You know, my mind always goes to
what hasn't changed. Most people are not as engaged as
listening this morning as we are. Most people don't engage
until about four to six weeks prior to an election.
So I see a lot of money in a lot
of effort early. We say this a lot with debates,
but I think it applies to candidates. You want to
(10:09):
have a really good moment here and there. You want
to avoid a really bad moment here or there. You
brought up Pratt. Listen whether he has in that mayor's
debate televised he gained such ground by having a single
great moment on a single question, and whether that leads
to him becoming the next mayor of Los Angeles. He's
going to be dangling like a participle for years to come,
(10:30):
because people are going to remember that moment, and when
the next mayor fails like the current mayor, or if
it is the current mayor mayor who fails again, he's
always going to be out there. His day may still come.
So have a great moment, avoid a bad moment. Never
forget resume, never forget contact, and never forget connection, and
never forget you know when most are engaged and where
(10:54):
and avoid the early spending.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That seems to be the key.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But if we added it all up, it's more not
changed than has changed. Because it seems like more has
not changed.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I think I think the more that has changed is
the attention span.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Of the voter.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You know, what used to be kind of in depth
policy discussions at a debate has now turned into what
you said is like a sound bite. And so I
think the idea of a long term, you know, swaying
process or a thoughtful process on like what I'm going
to do as a leader for you has changed dramatically
to where it's like it's vibes and a lot of instances.
(11:33):
And you know, vibes didn't work for Kamell Harris, thank god.
But you know, at the same time, you know, there's
a continued kind of growth pattern of kids who've grown
up with television and in social media that just the
attention span is lower. So I think that's that's the
biggest change. Is when you used to have like two
and a half minutes to make your case, you now
have thirty.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Seconds to fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
In the TikTok age, you know, the kids that are
turning eighteen next year, have lived on social media for
you know, at least half their lives, which is a
whole other cultural commentary we should give to another point.
But you know that attention span has changed, and I
think it's very hard to make your case. You got
to condense it quickly, which these are really really important
(12:14):
and thoughtful issues that need to be condensed in the
fifteen seconds. That's very very difficult. So that's some means
the biggest change. You know, it's still fanddess and ideas
and you know, relationships still matter. Somebody needs to know
who you are when they go into the voting booth
and have a good idea of who you are and
think well of you. And that's how you win generally,
depending on the methods to do it. None of that's
(12:34):
really changed, even find of you know, Jefferson, Jefferson versus atoms,
that's still the case.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Uh, final moments with Chris Walker. Fetterman, by the way,
is gaining great ground by talking to people, not other
politicians and for not being focused on primary on partisan
voters only. Do you think in this day and age,
(13:01):
and I think there is a silent I think back
to We're very close to nineteen sixty eight in similarity,
and I remember Richard Nixon talking to the silent center,
as he called it. Somebody would be very wise to
steal it. By the way, make America Great Again was
used before Donald Trump. Somebody ought to talk to the
silent center. Avoiding the partisan narrow focus. I think is
(13:27):
probably the most innovative change somebody could make and really
stand out. And I'm seeing Fetterman do it right now.
Talk to American people, not to the media, Talk to
the American people, not your party, talk to all Americans,
and keep it issue focused and not partisan narrative focused.
And I think you've got a huge advantage.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yep, I agree, I agree wholeheartedly. I mean, you know, again,
what would be interesting is candidates that you know kind
of got rid of. Some Ironically, I'm labeled as a
consult them for you here, so I mean, it's kind
of funny that I'm kind of self flagelating here potentially,
But I think political consulting has done a pretty poor
job at kind of getting candidates to be.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Real and all of it.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's about risk mitigation now rather than actually being yourself.
And you know, in some regards the candidates need to
like take some of the advice, but not all of
it from these consultants, because the consultants don't really have
agendas other than winning. And you know, there's real issues
out there that need actual attention rather than just you know,
winning the next election.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You can't lose.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You know, you mentioned Nixon losers don't legislate, that's right,
But you know, there's also an honesty chasm that we
need to really address, and I think political consulting is
a big part.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Of that problem.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How much have campaigns changed? Not as much as you think,
is the final answer, and some of the same mistakes
are being made. Chris Walker is always it's a pleasure.
We'll talk again next Monday or sooner if conditions warned.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Thanks for joining us, have a good week.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
All right. Everybody's talk about these weight loss injections, and
there's a reason they work. They work by lowering your
blood sugar. That's great for diabet reducing your appetite. But
what if you're interested in losing weight but not interested
in painful weekly injections, or especially some of the intense
side effects you hear about, or the long term question
of what about when you stop. That's exactly why the
(15:13):
doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created the weight loss supplement Lean,
and the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients and Lean
have been showed to Are you ready, It's going to
sound familiar. Lower your blood, sugar, burn fat by converting
it into energy, which feels great. Curb your appetite and
cravings so that you're not as hungry, and you eat
less calorie deficit. Guess what same result without the injection.
(15:37):
But listen, Lean is not for the casual diet or
trying to lose a pound or two before a wedding.
This is for people that are really frustrated dieters and
need to lose ten or more pounds. And I want
to get you started with twenty percent off in free
rush shipping. Today we all take Lean, one of us
just because of the way it makes him feel, the
other two because we need our appetite curved. I want
(15:59):
to get your started with twenty percent off and free
rush to delivery. Go to take Lean dot com. Enter
the promo code YMS for your discount. That's twenty percent
off in free rush shipping. Try Lean. Get an extra bottle.
Your kids will steal it and take it to college.
Take lean dot com promo code yms.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's come to my attention that in some of our
cities across the country, and there are numerous, there may
have been some technical difficulties. May I just say a
it had to be in some way Red's fault. Secondly,
this is why we have the podcast. It was actually
a great segment. Probably was the devil himself that didn't
want you to hear it, but this is why we
have the podcast. So if you missed my conversation about
(16:42):
how different elections are today due to social media and
technology versus the past, the answer is not as different
as you think, and a lot of the same mistakes
are being made. You can hear that in our two
of the podcast podcasts will be up unless he blows
that too. By nine thirty Central ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Though.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I don't think why you get listen. You can't help it.
You probably hit a button. You probably did something to
throw the entire network off.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I probably did.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Wait a minute, I mean, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Whatever I did, don't do it again, will you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We don't like when the Los Angeles line rings sureman oak.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Boomp boom. We don't know why everybody has jeffed on them.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Man, you know what my morning show is, Your Morning
Show with Michael de Grono. Hey, it's Michael. I'm so
glad you found the podcast, and don't forget. You can
listen to your morning show live each weekday morning. Your
Morning show can be heard in great cities like Youngstown, Ohio, Nashville, Tennessee,
Saint Louis, Sacramento, Phoenix, just to name a few. You
(17:48):
can find your morning show city closest to you on
our website, your Morningshow online dot com. And we're glad
you're here for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Enjoy. I want to nama, Mama. Don't we just get
angry sometimes? I have got to stop going and watching
the movie Michael.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Thirty five minutes after the hour, Jeffrey keeping an eye
on the sounds. How much of this show have they
missed because we've done some pretty profound broadcast.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Listen, listen, everything is okay. You're in good hands with
jeff State.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
So we had a long conversation, you know, because one
of the headlines of the day would be is the
HNTA virus? The new COVID. Is this a new coronavirus?
People all over the country talking about it off the air.
Ahwa's gonna be way worse than COVID. COVID is nothing
compared to this. Oh, this is how it started with COVID.
(18:38):
Trust me, this is going to be building and building
next to you. Our life as we know it will
be completely different through Yeah, if you're dumb enough to
allow it. Again, the CDC director is saying, this is
nothing like COVID and we know how to contain it.
I'm the only one asking that question. Wait, is this
the next COVID? What is COVID? Because if you don't
(19:01):
understand virology, one oh one, viruses happen, They've always happened,
and they always will happen, and they're never defeated. They're
absorbed and lived with how you get it and then
you're immune, or you get it and you die and
you didn't really die of it. You died of life
(19:23):
and all your comorbidities. But this creating of an international
hysteria in order to change laws and governments and ways
of life, Well, there'll only be another COVID if you
don't realize what the first COVID was versus what they
(19:43):
made it to be. So we had a great discussion
on what is COVID. Every time you hear somebody in
the media or around you at work or play, is
this the next COVID? Ask them the question, Well, that
depends on what the first COVID was versus what they
made it and if you're dumb enough to fall for
(20:05):
it again. And that's not the only phantom hysteria. There's
also one with AI, although that's been crushed right In
the new jobs report, payrolls increased one hundred and fifteen thousand,
but that's only half the story. In unemployment at four
point three percent. In other words, the economy's healthy. Do
(20:27):
you know what The forecast for April was fifty five thousand,
and it came in at one hundred and fifteen thousand.
And this is when AI is supposed to be taking
all the jobs. I'm the only one asking the question,
how do you get off by two and a half times?
Do you think partisan politics is playing a role in
these projections? I mean, it just seems like every Donald,
(20:51):
every time Donald Trump is president, the projections are low
to feed the neighbor narrative and then the reality is
two times three times higher than what they projected. Somebody
needs to fire the projectors or is it just me?
Third thing we talked about Basbo Pizza in Indianapolis. This
is a pretty special place in scent, flavor, and texture.
(21:19):
AOC wants to play this gospel of envy game. Basbo
Pizza with three locations in Indianapolis site at the downtown one,
which I believe was the second location. I actually know
everything there is to know about Basmo Pizza. If we
can't have Basbo Pizza here in Middle Tennessee or wherever
you're listening, I don't think Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Should be allowed to have Basmo Pizza. Welcome to our
newest franchise. E I mean a lot of pizza.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I passed Giordano's, which is only a few hours from Chicago,
so it's in downtown Indianapolis. I passed Giordano's on my
way to Basbo, and guess what, I'm glad I chose Basbo.
They also have another restaurant right across the street that
we had at the Eagle Mass Avenue. Best cheese krits
(22:09):
I've ever had my life, best sweet potato dish side
I've ever had in my life, best collared greens I've
ever had in my life, best biscuits I've ever had
in my life, and I did the chicken BLT sandwich.
I really think there should have been a ceremony preceding it.
(22:31):
That's how intimate, yea, and memorable the union, didn't you.
I should have a picture of me and my wife
at my wedding and a picture of me eating that
chicken blta and avocado.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
The eagle.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I mean, there was nothing that attempted meet we did.
We had an embarrassing moment at the I took the kids.
We had thirty minutes to kill before we had to
meet the cousin from lunch, and so we went by
the motor speedway and it was all twenty minutes. So
I walked them over so they could see the track.
That was the only area that we could get to,
and then I walked into the museum. They had to
(23:08):
use the bathroom before we left, and so we're over
by where you buy the tickets for the museum, which
if I had more than twenty five minutes, I would
have definitely gone in, right, I mean, can you imagine
the Unser Andretti stuff that was in there.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Hey j Foyd. Oh, oh, it's quite the spectacular. It
is a great museum. Oh, I wanted to go in.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
So they have one car from like nineteen sixty four
that's in the lobby where you're in line to buy
your ticket, and then there's the bathrooms. So we were
waiting for the kids to go to the bathroom, and
Andrew and I are taking pictures in front of this car.
And then we just left because we had to go
meet the cousin from lunch, but we didn't have time
to go to the museum. And as we were walking on,
I thought to myself, I wonder how that looked for
(23:46):
the museum employees. Like I brought my entire family in,
but I couldn't afford the price for the museum. So
we took a picture at the car in the lobby
and left. Oh, Griswold vacation that turned out to be
like we got some squatters. And then there's reds that
I think we need to coin. The place the phrase
(24:09):
for and that is the peace Quagmire, And that is
the one on one time I wanted to spend with you.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I just know what I'm observing, Donald Trump needs to
change the scoreboard from getting a peace agreement to securing
the straight period. You have created a peace quagmire, and
that's a ridiculous notion. Iran is negotiating as if they've won.
(24:37):
You need to lay off our proxies. You need to
rebuild the damage you've done. You need to acknowledge that
we controlled the strait of hormones, all these things like
they won. You won the war. Now secure the straight
and move on. What is this obsession with getting this
(24:58):
fourteen hundred year advis she hottest radical Islamist Republic to
sign something they're never going.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
To sign ever.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Now, I love Marco Ruby, and I love the President,
but if they need to give me a call today,
I'll explain to them a little bit about the Quran,
the Surahs, the Hadith, and fourteen hundred years of history,
not the least of which is their only assurance of
eternal life is conquering the world and killing and exterminating
(25:31):
everyone who rejects.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Islam or dying trying martyrdom. That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Why have you created a peace quagmire? You have destroyed
their military, you have destroyed their research and labs. You
have destroyed their intelligence apparatus, you have destroyed their nuclear materials,
(25:59):
and if they may we can move on. Now you're
obsessed with getting those material just bomb them if they
walk near him. Maintenance bomb those if it's for the
next twenty years, but get the hell out of there. Oh,
send some marines to an island and secure the strait.
Why have we created a peace quagmire? Now? There is
(26:19):
one thing in the midst of this piece quagmire that
we can look forward to, and that is the President's
trip to China, of which our own John Dirky is
on Air Force one right now, living our dream life,
and he'll be reporting from China throughout this week, just
another Your Morning Exclusive if of course, the feet is working.
(26:41):
But the notion is just as hespalat is Iran's proxy.
Iran is China's proxy, and that disruption and the Strait
of Horror moves. While it is a threat to national
energy supplies, it is a direct threat to Chinese energy needs.
Energy can. I mean China can and will stop this
(27:02):
in any moment. That's why the President's going there. And
I don't believe you'd be going there unless China is
ready to do something. So I don't think these negotiations
were nearly as important as this trip to China, But
why reach into the jaws of victory and try to
find defeat and the name of peace. Quagmire is beyond
red and beyond me. And that's our one oh one
(27:22):
time for this May eleventh, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You know what time it is. It is forty five
minutes after the hour, and time for your top five
stories of the day. No moro, oh no, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
President Trump is headed to China to meet with the
President of China, Chi zhin Ping Mark Mayfield as our
top story.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
The Thursday meeting was delayed four weeks after the start
of the US Israeli war with Iran. The two leaders
are expected to discuss the now months old war, as
well as trade, artificial intelligence, and Taiwan.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm Mark mak all I heard.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
All weekend he device, this could be the next COVID.
It can be worse than COVID. You're going to dream
of the days of COVID. Unfortunately, the CDC director says,
the haunt of virus it's not going to become a
pandemic and it's nothing like COVID.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
This is not COVID. This is not going to have
it lead to the kind of outbreak.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
The director tells CNN State of the Union, there's absolutely
no need to panic over the hantavirus since the evidence
doesn't warrant it. Bout A Charia says, the Haunta virus
is not spread by people without symptoms.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
And we don't want to treat it like over you want.
I don't want to cause a public panic over this.
We want to treat it with the pontavirus protocols that
were again were successful in containing outbreaks in the past.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
His comments came as passengers were being evacuated from a
cruise ship in the Canary Islands, where three infected passengers
died of the disease.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I'm Scott Carr on another boat.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
The CDC says, one hundred and fifteen people are sick
with the neurovirus. Never mind the stay home, stay safe.
This is the new normal. But you might want to
skip these Caribbean Princess cruise ships, unless, of course, you
want diarrhea.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
The agency released a statement saying one hundred and two
passengers and thirteen crew members reported being sick on the
ship that left Fort Lauderdale in late April. Over three
thousand passengers are on the boat, which will arrive at
Port Canaveral on Monday. Neuro virus causes diarrhea and vomiting
and has spread through direct contact with others and by
consuming food and liquids contaminated with the virus.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Finally, Steeler, oh.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Could let me take you out on a sea cruise?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
No way? No way.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
One person is dead after being hit by an airplane,
which has started a whole social media debate.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
What could the pilot have done? What should the airline
have done? What should the airport have done? How about
you don't climb a fence and cross the runway.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Frontier flight forty three forty five from Denver bound for
Los Angeles cleared for takeoff when that takeoff became aborted.
This is what air traffic controllers reported.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
By forty three forty five. We have two hundred and
thirty one souls on board. We have twenty one three
and twenty pounds of feel on board. There was an
individual walking across the runway.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
An engine fire was extinguished, smoke throughout the cabin. Passengers
were evacuated and the flight rescheduled for Saturday morning. The
identity of the pedestrian on the runway not immediately disclosed.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm Steve Mark.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Savannah Guthrie is renewing her call for help to find
her missing mother.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Nancy Guthrie went missing from her Tucson, Arizona area home
more than three months ago. Police believe she was taken
against her will, but have no suspects in the case.
The Today host posted a Mother's Day message on social
media yesterday asking for anyone with information to contact police.
Savannah Guthrie said any information can be given anonymously, and
the reward is still available. The family themselves have offered
(30:37):
one million dollars for details that lead to Nancy's discovery.
Guthrie wrote quote, we will never stop looking for you.
We will never be at peace until we find you.
I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
The Pentagon is making declassified UFO files successible to the public.
The Department of War released never before seen files related
to alien and extraterrestrial life on Friday that are now
as it all in one place, no clearance required. Tucked
away in the files as an audio recording of Gemini
seven astronaut Frank Borman and Jim Lovell reporting an unidentified
(31:11):
object during a space mission more than sixty years ago.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
We are apart with black him for Roger seventy seven.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
Is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You'll have to go hear it for yourself to find
out what the answer was.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
In the post on truth social President Trump said, now
the American publican fully decide for themselves when it comes
to opinions on aliens. In baseball, Tigers won sixty three
last night. If you fell asleep over the Royals, raised
four to one over the Red Sox, Guardians lost five
four to the Twins. A's lost two to one to
the O's, Angels beat the Jays six to one. Dodgers
(31:49):
fell seven two to the Braves, Cards lost three two
to the Padres, d Backs five to one over the Mets,
and Pirates lost seven to six to the Giants.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And NHL playoff action.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Oh how I'm rooting hard for those Sabers, but they
were dumbad last night. I mean that was like a
pack of wild wolves attacking Canadians six to two easy.
They take a two to one lead in that series.
Ducks four to three over the Golden Knights. That series
now tied a two games apiece. In NBA playoffs, Timberwolves
one fourteen, one on nine over the Spurs, evening up
the series and the Knicks win one forty four to
(32:19):
one fourteen, making it an easy sweep of the seventy
six ers. The beloved nick Obockers advanced to the Conference finals.
They'll take on either the Cabs or the Pistons. Birthdays today.
Singer Sabrina Carpenter is twenty seven. Cam Newton of Auburn
fame Carolina Panthers NFL quarterback Cam Newton thirty seven years old.
Tulsa born actor Tim Blake Nelson is sixty two and
(32:42):
Avery from the Nashville series. Jonathan Jackson forty four. I
met him once at a Mexican restaurant. Very delightful young man.
They were all very.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Nice when you would run into them around Nashville.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yes, as they perpetuated all of the stereotypes of the
city we call home and love. Fifty minutes after the hour,
that's your top five.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I used to think of a mattress as a piece
of furniture, and I don't know how long you keep
a couch before you get a new one. Same thing
with mattresses, but then mattresses like ten thousand dollars. Then
you start saving up. You'd mean to get a new mattress,
but you know you had a roofing issue or a
back deck issue, something would always pop up. Well, you
don't need thousands and thousands of dollars to sleep well,
(33:24):
I know because I got a ghost bed. It's funny.
This family has made mattresses for one hundred years. The
one person in the family that wasn't a mattress maker,
he was an engineer design ghost bed and it's an
engineer at Sleep System. Their beds are serious pieces of
health equipment. See beds are designed for relief and recovery,
not looks and fluff. Your body should be healing when
(33:46):
you sleep.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Not fighting for comfort. I know it's the difference the
minute I laid down that I've been sleeping I went
for three months.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I would never purchase anything else about twenty percent of
the cost of these ten thousand dollars mattresses. But if
you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even
reaching for pain relievers before you go to bed, that's
not your age, that's your mattress. Here's another thing I
love about ghost bed. You can sleep on at one
hundred and one nights before you decide. If you don't
(34:14):
love your ghost bed the way I love mine, you
send it back risk free. That's how confident we are.
Ghost Bed is currently having their Memorial Dail sale, which
is the lowest prices of the season. Plus you'll get
an extra ten percent off just for being in my audience.
Go to ghostbed dot com forward slash Michael. While you're there,
you can take a quiz to pick the right mattress
(34:35):
for you. They have several different to choose from ghost

season during Memorial Dale More Memorial Day sale, plus an
extra ten percent off for being a your morning show listener.
Ghost bed dot com forward slash Michael. Having trouble sleeping,

Oh you gotta call I Hope It's ghost Bed.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
It's your mo show with Michael bil.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Choano, Monday May the eleventh, twenty twenty six, fifty six
minutes after the hour, Trump protects Iran's response, Putin says
Russia Ukraine war coming to an end.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Violent crime rates have plunged in America.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
The Virginia Supreme Court throws out the redistricting referendum. I
think that's out of the US Supreme Court ultimately, so
much to kick around. Roy and Nieler, National Correspondent is here. Rory.
Let's start with the talks. Where they go from here?
I know where the President goes to China.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Right now, be more specific, which talks are you're talking about,
because you know we are Iran, you know, is purposely
dragging his feet here in all these responses. We were
expecting a response I think Thursday. Then they're saying, oh,
we'll get it Friday. Then oh no, no, wait, it'll
come Saturday, and finally came out Sunday and President Trump
pretty quickly dismissed the response. But also, according to Iranian
(35:53):
state media, includes Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz,
something that had before, and that is one of the
reasons that their response was pretty quickly dismissed. But of
course Iran is going to be front and center when
President Trump is in China talking with President She They've
got to certainly have a full agenda, all.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Right, And again we just we were talking earlier, before
you were with us. There's no quagmire in this war.
It's been one and one definitively, there's a created peace quagmire.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Hopefully China can be the end of that. And then
putin signifying that the Ukraine Russian War may be coming
to an end. That's good news, it is.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
The comments came over the week, and not only did
he say that it might be quote coming to an end,
he also said he was open to discussion about fresh
European security arrangements. Essentially, what would the situation that the
Ukraine Russia border look like after this thing finally does
come to an end.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Great reporting as always, Rory, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
We'll talk again tomorrow as we will visit with John Decker,
who will be in China with the President. He's on
Air Force one as we speak. All right, one chance
to live Monday, May eleventh, twenty twenty six. It'll never
happen again, and go make a difference in someone's life,
Cherish your own.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
See you tomorrow morning at five right here on your
morning show. We're all in this together. This is your
Morning Show with Michael Ndheld, Joano
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. We're thrilled you're here. Now,
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno seven
minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Good morning, and welcome to Monday, May, the eleventh year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
On the air, streaming live on.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Your iHeartRadio app, and great cities across the country, but
most importantly to your ear directly, this is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Journo, honored to serve you. Jeffreys got
the sound. Red's wearing Red keeping an eye on the content.
The President has rejected Iran's response to our proposal. They're
nowhere near each other on every aspect control of the
(01:00):
straight rebuilding. Admitting you're wrong, I mean they're asking us
to surrender when they're defeated long way to go, but
the diplomatic efforts will continue. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin's Putin has
signaled that Russia Ukraine War could be coming to an
end soon, and the administration is kicking around, even suspending
the gasoline text to help make gas more affordable as
(01:23):
the crisis continues. With a Ron devilware is prot A
two dominated the North American box office. Though I saw
Michael again to kick off the weekend, and I think
Andrew and her friend may go today.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I can go a third time. You gonna check it
out third time. I can't get enough of Michael.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You know, we didn't have a childhood like normal people.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That's why you had a rats Mickey Mouse doing. Michael Jackson,
thanks for.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The criticism, negative spirit, and the New York Knickerbockers have
punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final, sweeping the
seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
His playoff action continued this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I was golfing with somebody, and you know it happens
from time to time, about fifteen twelve, fifteen holes in
somebody will finally go, what do you do for a living?
And when I explained to this person, Well, I have
a talk show that's on the Premiere Radio network.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And then we started talking about and he made a
comment based on how long I've.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Been doing it, which is I don't even know now
forty three years and then thirty thirty eight in talk
radio about all the change. Wow, you've seen a lot
of change, and I have. I got a chance to experience,
you know. One of my first real jobs was in
(02:42):
New Orleans at WTIX, which was the big oldies station,
and I can I can tell you.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We had we had records that we queued up. We
had a reel to.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Reel behind us where in two and a half three
minute songs I'd hit record, answer the phone and mess
with people in New Orleans, then turn around in my
chair at it with a grease pencil, queue it up,
hit the next song as after I queued it up.
But it was just for an ad D person. It
was heaven. I was doing fifty million things at once
and that was perfect for my brain. And the energy
(03:11):
and the interaction with the audience. It was great. And
that was the old days of radio where you were
a big shot if you were on a radio station
kind of thing. All the way to the corporate takeover
to Jeffrey will tell you there are stations in cities
you live in where there's six or seven radio stations
(03:31):
in a building and there's nobody in the building. I mean,
if you want to torture me, put me in a
room where a computer does everything and I just stand there.
Not that anybody's doing that. It's mostly voice tracked. But
if I was sitting there waiting twenty minutes to talk
for eight seconds, I'd go crazy. And I use the
analogy to this guy. I made a movie one time
that I could have never been an actor that's sitting
(03:53):
around eight hours waiting for one to two minutes of go.
It just didn't work for me. But the point is
the discussion of how radio has changed, and I thought
to myself, what could have possibly changed as much as radio,
and not even television as much as politics came to mind.
(04:14):
Any potential presidential candidate coming up in twenty twenty eight,
they will have to operate not as candidates, but as
content creators. And just like radio, it won't be enough
to just be who you are. You'll need social media,
video operations, you'll need podcasting, You'll need substack accounts, you'll
need merchandise. And I thought to myself when I visit
(04:39):
with Chris Walker on Monday. Here is a consultant and
analyst in a field. It used to be about your resume,
your ability ability to win hearts and minds and communicate
to the American people, your leadership capabilities. It took a
lot a lot of money. Now it still takes a
lot of money, but it's a whole different game. Did
(05:01):
you opee, consultant Chris Walker, we say, good morning. How
much has it changed justin you've been doing this.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Good morning, Michael a lot. You know, obviously social media
has changed the game in a lot of ways, but
it also is the same in a lot of ways too.
You've got a candidate, the best candidate wins nine times
out of ten. You know, that includes fundraising and everything.
Now the fundraising changes from solely a TV model to a.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Little bit of social media.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But you know, we're working on government release campaign in Tennessee.
One of the things that I'd like to remind our
because we were outspent a lot, is, you know, social
media can be a very easy thing to see from
those of us who are politically active and engaged, but
I think it's it's good to remember that when you
look at Twitter, you know, one in ten voters are
on Twitter, maybe on a good day, and so you're
(05:52):
losing nine percent of an audience when you think of
a social media only campaign. And I think a lot
of consultants in DC are who are making a lot
of money off of social media, are convincing people that
social media plays the way to go, but you're missing
a vast swath of your potential audience. I think is
a big problem for the GP in general because in
a way, we are, you know, really hemorrhaging under forty
voters because I think we've become perennially online as a
(06:15):
party rather than kind of going and talking to people
in a real kind of you know, grassroos efforts.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So boom, boom, stop right there, boom, that's a boom
shot a lock, and we got to stop right there.
If I'm running for school board, if I'm running for
city council, or even if I'm running for mayor, I ultimately,
if you've already acknowledged, best candidate wins not out of
ten times, so you've got to have the goods. But
assuming everybody's equal and has the goods and has the qualifications.
(06:41):
I go door to door, I meet real human beings.
I speak at events, I go to breakfasts, I have
coffees and homes. You can still win one on one.
Problem is when you run for statewide, whether it's Senate
or governor or certainly president nationwide, and even then, let's
be honest, it's not nationwide. There are X number of
states will be blue nomie matter what, we'll be read,
no matter what, we will identify not just the top
(07:03):
eight to nine swing states, but really swing precincts in
swing districts.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Of those swing states.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And if you can't touch them in person, well then
you're going to have to touch them in other ways.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And that's where this can come in.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
How much of this is the amount of money adjusted
for inflation is about the same. How you spend it,
where you spend it, and how early you spend it.
That's still to me the big key. They're spending too
early and based on perception of where people are, and
they're a lot less there than they think. Doesn't that
nail it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think that's right. I mean, look, the value of
social media isn't the actual tweet it's the attention that
it can get. So you could very chiefly get attention
Spencer Pratt. I don't think it's spending a lot of money,
but yet we're talking about them as an LA Marriors race.
Now I think at the end of the day, Spencer
was going to lose by fifteen in LA just because
it's LA. And I think we need to remind ourselves.
(07:59):
And I think that's thing that social media is kind
of hurting people's, you know, worldview is that you can
the algorithm can feed you whatever you want, and it
continues to kind of feed biases that I think some
people don't realize isn't reality, and so in a way,
people can get very overly excited about something that really
you got to start looking at the actual numbers. And
again you're right, door to door actually works now in
(08:21):
a presidential campaign or state wide campaign. Obviously, you know,
the funding for that matters. But again, social media is
a tool to actually get the wider audience of television
and mass media to pick it up. So you as
a radio host is more important than a twee Twitter
feed because you've got more sooney and more people listening
(08:43):
to you. In Nashville and and all of your markets
than you do just on Twitter feed. I mean, how
many times have we opened up for social media and
seen a tweet come up and then it's just gone
and you don't want how to find it because it
was doom scroll down to the down to oblivion. You know,
the only thing that actually lasts in terms of narrative
creation is media. And so whether it's TV news, radio news,
(09:08):
you know, television advertising, to a certain degree, that's still
the main function of how to get someone's message out.
Chris Walker, a posential candidate or you're a state wide candidate,
you gotta be with TV because that's where people actually
continue to get information over the long haul, not just
on a kind of dope meme drip of a phone.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Chris Walker is an analyst and a consultant for the GOP.
We're talking about twenty twenty eight presidential elections and how
different they are now. It's more content creation than campaigns.
But it's not as different as you think. In fact,
one of the things I wonder if people like you,
or those who do this for a living, everyone talks
about what they perceive is so different. Does anybody discuss
(09:47):
what hasn't changed. You know, my mind always goes to
what hasn't changed. Most people are not as engaged as
listening this morning as we are. Most people don't engage
until about four to six weeks prior to an election.
So I see a lot of money in a lot
of effort early. We say this a lot with debates,
but I think it applies to candidates. You want to
(10:09):
have a really good moment here and there. You want
to avoid a really bad moment here or there. You
brought up Pratt. Listen whether he has in that mayor's
debate televised he gained such ground by having a single
great moment on a single question, and whether that leads
to him becoming the next mayor of Los Angeles. He's
going to be dangling like a participle for years to come,
(10:30):
because people are going to remember that moment, and when
the next mayor fails like the current mayor, or if
it is the current mayor mayor who fails again, he's
always going to be out there. His day may still come.
So have a great moment, avoid a bad moment. Never
forget resume, never forget contact, and never forget connection, and
never forget you know when most are engaged and where
(10:54):
and avoid the early spending.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That seems to be the key.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But if we added it all up, it's more not
changed than has changed. Because it seems like more has
not changed.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I think I think the more that has changed is
the attention span.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Of the voter.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You know, what used to be kind of in depth
policy discussions at a debate has now turned into what
you said is like a sound bite. And so I
think the idea of a long term, you know, swaying
process or a thoughtful process on like what I'm going
to do as a leader for you has changed dramatically
to where it's like it's vibes and a lot of instances.
(11:33):
And you know, vibes didn't work for Kamell Harris, thank god.
But you know, at the same time, you know, there's
a continued kind of growth pattern of kids who've grown
up with television and in social media that just the
attention span is lower. So I think that's that's the
biggest change. Is when you used to have like two
and a half minutes to make your case, you now
have thirty.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Seconds to fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
In the TikTok age, you know, the kids that are
turning eighteen next year, have lived on social media for
you know, at least half their lives, which is a
whole other cultural commentary we should give to another point.
But you know that attention span has changed, and I
think it's very hard to make your case. You got
to condense it quickly, which these are really really important
(12:14):
and thoughtful issues that need to be condensed in the
fifteen seconds. That's very very difficult. So that's some means
the biggest change. You know, it's still fanddess and ideas
and you know, relationships still matter. Somebody needs to know
who you are when they go into the voting booth
and have a good idea of who you are and
think well of you. And that's how you win generally,
depending on the methods to do it. None of that's
(12:34):
really changed, even find of you know, Jefferson, Jefferson versus atoms,
that's still the case.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Uh, final moments with Chris Walker. Fetterman, by the way,
is gaining great ground by talking to people, not other
politicians and for not being focused on primary on partisan
voters only. Do you think in this day and age,
(13:01):
and I think there is a silent I think back
to We're very close to nineteen sixty eight in similarity,
and I remember Richard Nixon talking to the silent center,
as he called it. Somebody would be very wise to
steal it. By the way, make America Great Again was
used before Donald Trump. Somebody ought to talk to the
silent center. Avoiding the partisan narrow focus. I think is
(13:27):
probably the most innovative change somebody could make and really
stand out. And I'm seeing Fetterman do it right now.
Talk to American people, not to the media, Talk to
the American people, not your party, talk to all Americans,
and keep it issue focused and not partisan narrative focused.
And I think you've got a huge advantage.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yep, I agree, I agree wholeheartedly. I mean, you know, again,
what would be interesting is candidates that you know kind
of got rid of. Some Ironically, I'm labeled as a
consult them for you here, so I mean, it's kind
of funny that I'm kind of self flagelating here potentially,
But I think political consulting has done a pretty poor
job at kind of getting candidates to be.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Real and all of it.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's about risk mitigation now rather than actually being yourself.
And you know, in some regards the candidates need to
like take some of the advice, but not all of
it from these consultants, because the consultants don't really have
agendas other than winning. And you know, there's real issues
out there that need actual attention rather than just you know,
winning the next election.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You can't lose.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You know, you mentioned Nixon losers don't legislate, that's right,
But you know, there's also an honesty chasm that we
need to really address, and I think political consulting is
a big part.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Of that problem.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How much have campaigns changed? Not as much as you think,
is the final answer, and some of the same mistakes
are being made. Chris Walker is always it's a pleasure.
We'll talk again next Monday or sooner if conditions warned.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Thanks for joining us, have a good week.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
All right. Everybody's talk about these weight loss injections, and
there's a reason they work. They work by lowering your
blood sugar. That's great for diabet reducing your appetite. But
what if you're interested in losing weight but not interested
in painful weekly injections, or especially some of the intense
side effects you hear about, or the long term question
of what about when you stop. That's exactly why the
(15:13):
doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created the weight loss supplement Lean,
and the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients and Lean
have been showed to Are you ready, It's going to
sound familiar. Lower your blood, sugar, burn fat by converting
it into energy, which feels great. Curb your appetite and
cravings so that you're not as hungry, and you eat
less calorie deficit. Guess what same result without the injection.
(15:37):
But listen, Lean is not for the casual diet or
trying to lose a pound or two before a wedding.
This is for people that are really frustrated dieters and
need to lose ten or more pounds. And I want
to get you started with twenty percent off in free
rush shipping. Today we all take Lean, one of us
just because of the way it makes him feel, the
other two because we need our appetite curved. I want
(15:59):
to get your started with twenty percent off and free
rush to delivery. Go to take Lean dot com. Enter
the promo code YMS for your discount. That's twenty percent
off in free rush shipping. Try Lean. Get an extra bottle.
Your kids will steal it and take it to college.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's come to my attention that in some of our
cities across the country, and there are numerous, there may
have been some technical difficulties. May I just say a
it had to be in some way Red's fault. Secondly,
this is why we have the podcast. It was actually
a great segment. Probably was the devil himself that didn't
want you to hear it, but this is why we
have the podcast. So if you missed my conversation about
(16:42):
how different elections are today due to social media and
technology versus the past, the answer is not as different
as you think, and a lot of the same mistakes
are being made. You can hear that in our two
of the podcast podcasts will be up unless he blows
that too. By nine thirty Central ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Though.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I don't think why you get listen. You can't help it.
You probably hit a button. You probably did something to
throw the entire network off.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I probably did.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Wait a minute, I mean, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Whatever I did, don't do it again, will you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We don't like when the Los Angeles line rings sureman oak.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Boomp boom. We don't know why everybody has jeffed on them.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Man, you know what my morning show is, Your Morning
Show with Michael de Grono. Hey, it's Michael. I'm so
glad you found the podcast, and don't forget. You can
listen to your morning show live each weekday morning. Your
Morning show can be heard in great cities like Youngstown, Ohio, Nashville, Tennessee,
Saint Louis, Sacramento, Phoenix, just to name a few. You
(17:48):
can find your morning show city closest to you on
our website, your Morningshow online dot com. And we're glad
you're here for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Enjoy. I want to nama, Mama. Don't we just get
angry sometimes? I have got to stop going and watching
the movie Michael.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Thirty five minutes after the hour, Jeffrey keeping an eye
on the sounds. How much of this show have they
missed because we've done some pretty profound broadcast.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Listen, listen, everything is okay. You're in good hands with
jeff State.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
So we had a long conversation, you know, because one
of the headlines of the day would be is the
HNTA virus? The new COVID. Is this a new coronavirus?
People all over the country talking about it off the air.
Ahwa's gonna be way worse than COVID. COVID is nothing
compared to this. Oh, this is how it started with COVID.
(18:38):
Trust me, this is going to be building and building
next to you. Our life as we know it will
be completely different through Yeah, if you're dumb enough to
allow it. Again, the CDC director is saying, this is
nothing like COVID and we know how to contain it.
I'm the only one asking that question. Wait, is this
the next COVID? What is COVID? Because if you don't
(19:01):
understand virology, one oh one, viruses happen, They've always happened,
and they always will happen, and they're never defeated. They're
absorbed and lived with how you get it and then
you're immune, or you get it and you die and
you didn't really die of it. You died of life
(19:23):
and all your comorbidities. But this creating of an international
hysteria in order to change laws and governments and ways
of life, Well, there'll only be another COVID if you
don't realize what the first COVID was versus what they
(19:43):
made it to be. So we had a great discussion
on what is COVID. Every time you hear somebody in
the media or around you at work or play, is
this the next COVID? Ask them the question, Well, that
depends on what the first COVID was versus what they
made it and if you're dumb enough to fall for
(20:05):
it again. And that's not the only phantom hysteria. There's
also one with AI, although that's been crushed right In
the new jobs report, payrolls increased one hundred and fifteen thousand,
but that's only half the story. In unemployment at four
point three percent. In other words, the economy's healthy. Do
(20:27):
you know what The forecast for April was fifty five thousand,
and it came in at one hundred and fifteen thousand.
And this is when AI is supposed to be taking
all the jobs. I'm the only one asking the question,
how do you get off by two and a half times?
Do you think partisan politics is playing a role in
these projections? I mean, it just seems like every Donald,
(20:51):
every time Donald Trump is president, the projections are low
to feed the neighbor narrative and then the reality is
two times three times higher than what they projected. Somebody
needs to fire the projectors or is it just me?
Third thing we talked about Basbo Pizza in Indianapolis. This
is a pretty special place in scent, flavor, and texture.
(21:19):
AOC wants to play this gospel of envy game. Basbo
Pizza with three locations in Indianapolis site at the downtown one,
which I believe was the second location. I actually know
everything there is to know about Basmo Pizza. If we
can't have Basbo Pizza here in Middle Tennessee or wherever
you're listening, I don't think Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Should be allowed to have Basmo Pizza. Welcome to our
newest franchise. E I mean a lot of pizza.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I passed Giordano's, which is only a few hours from Chicago,
so it's in downtown Indianapolis. I passed Giordano's on my
way to Basbo, and guess what, I'm glad I chose Basbo.
They also have another restaurant right across the street that
we had at the Eagle Mass Avenue. Best cheese krits
(22:09):
I've ever had my life, best sweet potato dish side
I've ever had in my life, best collared greens I've
ever had in my life, best biscuits I've ever had
in my life, and I did the chicken BLT sandwich.
I really think there should have been a ceremony preceding it.
(22:31):
That's how intimate, yea, and memorable the union, didn't you.
I should have a picture of me and my wife
at my wedding and a picture of me eating that
chicken blta and avocado.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
The eagle.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I mean, there was nothing that attempted meet we did.
We had an embarrassing moment at the I took the kids.
We had thirty minutes to kill before we had to
meet the cousin from lunch, and so we went by
the motor speedway and it was all twenty minutes. So
I walked them over so they could see the track.
That was the only area that we could get to,
and then I walked into the museum. They had to
(23:08):
use the bathroom before we left, and so we're over
by where you buy the tickets for the museum, which
if I had more than twenty five minutes, I would
have definitely gone in, right, I mean, can you imagine
the Unser Andretti stuff that was in there.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Hey j Foyd. Oh, oh, it's quite the spectacular. It
is a great museum. Oh, I wanted to go in.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
So they have one car from like nineteen sixty four
that's in the lobby where you're in line to buy
your ticket, and then there's the bathrooms. So we were
waiting for the kids to go to the bathroom, and
Andrew and I are taking pictures in front of this car.
And then we just left because we had to go
meet the cousin from lunch, but we didn't have time
to go to the museum. And as we were walking on,
I thought to myself, I wonder how that looked for
(23:46):
the museum employees. Like I brought my entire family in,
but I couldn't afford the price for the museum. So
we took a picture at the car in the lobby
and left. Oh, Griswold vacation that turned out to be
like we got some squatters. And then there's reds that
I think we need to coin. The place the phrase
(24:09):
for and that is the peace Quagmire, And that is
the one on one time I wanted to spend with you.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I just know what I'm observing, Donald Trump needs to
change the scoreboard from getting a peace agreement to securing
the straight period. You have created a peace quagmire, and
that's a ridiculous notion. Iran is negotiating as if they've won.
(24:37):
You need to lay off our proxies. You need to
rebuild the damage you've done. You need to acknowledge that
we controlled the strait of hormones, all these things like
they won. You won the war. Now secure the straight
and move on. What is this obsession with getting this
(24:58):
fourteen hundred year advis she hottest radical Islamist Republic to
sign something they're never going.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
To sign ever.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Now, I love Marco Ruby, and I love the President,
but if they need to give me a call today,
I'll explain to them a little bit about the Quran,
the Surahs, the Hadith, and fourteen hundred years of history,
not the least of which is their only assurance of
eternal life is conquering the world and killing and exterminating
(25:31):
everyone who rejects.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Islam or dying trying martyrdom. That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Why have you created a peace quagmire? You have destroyed
their military, you have destroyed their research and labs. You
have destroyed their intelligence apparatus, you have destroyed their nuclear materials,
(25:59):
and if they may we can move on. Now you're
obsessed with getting those material just bomb them if they
walk near him. Maintenance bomb those if it's for the
next twenty years, but get the hell out of there. Oh,
send some marines to an island and secure the strait.
Why have we created a peace quagmire? Now? There is
(26:19):
one thing in the midst of this piece quagmire that
we can look forward to, and that is the President's
trip to China, of which our own John Dirky is
on Air Force one right now, living our dream life,
and he'll be reporting from China throughout this week, just
another Your Morning Exclusive if of course, the feet is working.
(26:41):
But the notion is just as hespalat is Iran's proxy.
Iran is China's proxy, and that disruption and the Strait
of Horror moves. While it is a threat to national
energy supplies, it is a direct threat to Chinese energy needs.
Energy can. I mean China can and will stop this
(27:02):
in any moment. That's why the President's going there. And
I don't believe you'd be going there unless China is
ready to do something. So I don't think these negotiations
were nearly as important as this trip to China, But
why reach into the jaws of victory and try to
find defeat and the name of peace. Quagmire is beyond
red and beyond me. And that's our one oh one
(27:22):
time for this May eleventh, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You know what time it is. It is forty five
minutes after the hour, and time for your top five
stories of the day. No moro, oh no, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
President Trump is headed to China to meet with the
President of China, Chi zhin Ping Mark Mayfield as our
top story.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
The Thursday meeting was delayed four weeks after the start
of the US Israeli war with Iran. The two leaders
are expected to discuss the now months old war, as
well as trade, artificial intelligence, and Taiwan.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm Mark mak all I heard.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
All weekend he device, this could be the next COVID.
It can be worse than COVID. You're going to dream
of the days of COVID. Unfortunately, the CDC director says,
the haunt of virus it's not going to become a
pandemic and it's nothing like COVID.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
This is not COVID. This is not going to have
it lead to the kind of outbreak.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
The director tells CNN State of the Union, there's absolutely
no need to panic over the hantavirus since the evidence
doesn't warrant it. Bout A Charia says, the Haunta virus
is not spread by people without symptoms.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
And we don't want to treat it like over you want.
I don't want to cause a public panic over this.
We want to treat it with the pontavirus protocols that
were again were successful in containing outbreaks in the past.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
His comments came as passengers were being evacuated from a
cruise ship in the Canary Islands, where three infected passengers
died of the disease.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I'm Scott Carr on another boat.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
The CDC says, one hundred and fifteen people are sick
with the neurovirus. Never mind the stay home, stay safe.
This is the new normal. But you might want to
skip these Caribbean Princess cruise ships, unless, of course, you
want diarrhea.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
The agency released a statement saying one hundred and two
passengers and thirteen crew members reported being sick on the
ship that left Fort Lauderdale in late April. Over three
thousand passengers are on the boat, which will arrive at
Port Canaveral on Monday. Neuro virus causes diarrhea and vomiting
and has spread through direct contact with others and by
consuming food and liquids contaminated with the virus.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Finally, Steeler, oh.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Could let me take you out on a sea cruise?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
No way? No way.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
One person is dead after being hit by an airplane,
which has started a whole social media debate.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
What could the pilot have done? What should the airline
have done? What should the airport have done? How about
you don't climb a fence and cross the runway.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Frontier flight forty three forty five from Denver bound for
Los Angeles cleared for takeoff when that takeoff became aborted.
This is what air traffic controllers reported.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
By forty three forty five. We have two hundred and
thirty one souls on board. We have twenty one three
and twenty pounds of feel on board. There was an
individual walking across the runway.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
An engine fire was extinguished, smoke throughout the cabin. Passengers
were evacuated and the flight rescheduled for Saturday morning. The
identity of the pedestrian on the runway not immediately disclosed.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm Steve Mark.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Savannah Guthrie is renewing her call for help to find
her missing mother.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Nancy Guthrie went missing from her Tucson, Arizona area home
more than three months ago. Police believe she was taken
against her will, but have no suspects in the case.
The Today host posted a Mother's Day message on social
media yesterday asking for anyone with information to contact police.
Savannah Guthrie said any information can be given anonymously, and
the reward is still available. The family themselves have offered
(30:37):
one million dollars for details that lead to Nancy's discovery.
Guthrie wrote quote, we will never stop looking for you.
We will never be at peace until we find you.
I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
The Pentagon is making declassified UFO files successible to the public.
The Department of War released never before seen files related
to alien and extraterrestrial life on Friday that are now
as it all in one place, no clearance required. Tucked
away in the files as an audio recording of Gemini
seven astronaut Frank Borman and Jim Lovell reporting an unidentified
(31:11):
object during a space mission more than sixty years ago.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
We are apart with black him for Roger seventy seven.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
Is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You'll have to go hear it for yourself to find
out what the answer was.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
In the post on truth social President Trump said, now
the American publican fully decide for themselves when it comes
to opinions on aliens. In baseball, Tigers won sixty three
last night. If you fell asleep over the Royals, raised
four to one over the Red Sox, Guardians lost five
four to the Twins. A's lost two to one to
the O's, Angels beat the Jays six to one. Dodgers
(31:49):
fell seven two to the Braves, Cards lost three two
to the Padres, d Backs five to one over the Mets,
and Pirates lost seven to six to the Giants.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And NHL playoff action.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Oh how I'm rooting hard for those Sabers, but they
were dumbad last night. I mean that was like a
pack of wild wolves attacking Canadians six to two easy.
They take a two to one lead in that series.
Ducks four to three over the Golden Knights. That series
now tied a two games apiece. In NBA playoffs, Timberwolves
one fourteen, one on nine over the Spurs, evening up
the series and the Knicks win one forty four to
(32:19):
one fourteen, making it an easy sweep of the seventy
six ers. The beloved nick Obockers advanced to the Conference finals.
They'll take on either the Cabs or the Pistons. Birthdays today.
Singer Sabrina Carpenter is twenty seven. Cam Newton of Auburn
fame Carolina Panthers NFL quarterback Cam Newton thirty seven years old.
Tulsa born actor Tim Blake Nelson is sixty two and
(32:42):
Avery from the Nashville series. Jonathan Jackson forty four. I
met him once at a Mexican restaurant. Very delightful young man.
They were all very.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Nice when you would run into them around Nashville.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yes, as they perpetuated all of the stereotypes of the
city we call home and love. Fifty minutes after the hour,
that's your top five.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I used to think of a mattress as a piece
of furniture, and I don't know how long you keep
a couch before you get a new one. Same thing
with mattresses, but then mattresses like ten thousand dollars. Then
you start saving up. You'd mean to get a new mattress,
but you know you had a roofing issue or a
back deck issue, something would always pop up. Well, you
don't need thousands and thousands of dollars to sleep well,
(33:24):
I know because I got a ghost bed. It's funny.
This family has made mattresses for one hundred years. The
one person in the family that wasn't a mattress maker,
he was an engineer design ghost bed and it's an
engineer at Sleep System. Their beds are serious pieces of
health equipment. See beds are designed for relief and recovery,
not looks and fluff. Your body should be healing when
(33:46):
you sleep.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Not fighting for comfort. I know it's the difference the
minute I laid down that I've been sleeping I went
for three months.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I would never purchase anything else about twenty percent of
the cost of these ten thousand dollars mattresses. But if
you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even
reaching for pain relievers before you go to bed, that's
not your age, that's your mattress. Here's another thing I
love about ghost bed. You can sleep on at one
hundred and one nights before you decide. If you don't
(34:14):
love your ghost bed the way I love mine, you
send it back risk free. That's how confident we are.
Ghost Bed is currently having their Memorial Dail sale, which
is the lowest prices of the season. Plus you'll get
an extra ten percent off just for being in my audience.
Go to ghostbed dot com forward slash Michael. While you're there,
you can take a quiz to pick the right mattress
(34:35):
for you. They have several different to choose from ghost
bed dot com forward slash Michael. Lowest prices of the
season during Memorial Dale More Memorial Day sale, plus an
extra ten percent off for being a your morning show listener.
Ghost bed dot com forward slash Michael. Having trouble sleeping,

Oh you gotta call I Hope It's ghost Bed.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
It's your mo show with Michael bil.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Choano, Monday May the eleventh, twenty twenty six, fifty six
minutes after the hour, Trump protects Iran's response, Putin says
Russia Ukraine war coming to an end.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Violent crime rates have plunged in America.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
The Virginia Supreme Court throws out the redistricting referendum. I
think that's out of the US Supreme Court ultimately, so
much to kick around. Roy and Nieler, National Correspondent is here. Rory.
Let's start with the talks. Where they go from here?
I know where the President goes to China.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Right now, be more specific, which talks are you're talking about,
because you know we are Iran, you know, is purposely
dragging his feet here in all these responses. We were
expecting a response I think Thursday. Then they're saying, oh,
we'll get it Friday. Then oh no, no, wait, it'll
come Saturday, and finally came out Sunday and President Trump
pretty quickly dismissed the response. But also, according to Iranian
(35:53):
state media, includes Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz,
something that had before, and that is one of the
reasons that their response was pretty quickly dismissed. But of
course Iran is going to be front and center when
President Trump is in China talking with President She They've
got to certainly have a full agenda, all.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Right, And again we just we were talking earlier, before
you were with us. There's no quagmire in this war.
It's been one and one definitively, there's a created peace quagmire.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Hopefully China can be the end of that. And then
putin signifying that the Ukraine Russian War may be coming
to an end. That's good news, it is.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
The comments came over the week, and not only did
he say that it might be quote coming to an end,
he also said he was open to discussion about fresh
European security arrangements. Essentially, what would the situation that the
Ukraine Russia border look like after this thing finally does
come to an end.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Great reporting as always, Rory, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
We'll talk again tomorrow as we will visit with John Decker,
who will be in China with the President. He's on
Air Force one as we speak. All right, one chance
to live Monday, May eleventh, twenty twenty six. It'll never
happen again, and go make a difference in someone's life,
Cherish your own.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
See you tomorrow morning at five right here on your
morning show. We're all in this together. This is your
