Speaker 3 (00:27):
Two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael gill Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Tomorrow, Syndicated columnist and legend Dave Barry will join us
later this hour. Leana Hall from the hit show Your
Friends and Neighbors with John a'm on Apple will be
joining us. We want to welcome all the listeners at
news Radio one oh four nine w b u V
in Biloxi, Mississippi. Welcome to the Your Morning Show Kitchen Table,
(01:03):
and what a table it is. Scott Pcent announcing significant
accomplishments and consensus with the trade deal with China. Stock
market futures are reacting and soaring because of it. President
Trump will sign an executive order today that'll cap prescription
drugs and pharmaceutical prices, maybe slashing them by as much
(01:23):
as eighty percent, and then heading for his Mid East
peace trip. And I can't think of anything Hamas gets
in return, But the President has cut a deal and
the final remaining living American hostage is being released by
Hamas and the Gaza strip every things coming up, roses
and daffodils. Chris Walker's here, Chris, I use this analogy,
(01:45):
and I hate playing the dams the dam's shirts and
skins politics. In fact, you knows I'm not of either
party and wish both would disappear. Ultimately. I think one
will by the end of the decade. But oh, the
Trump administration certainly appears to be the adults at the
table with the kids in the family room having a
food fight at another table. Uh. First it was eggs,
(02:08):
then it was dolls from China, and now what's it
going to be? I mean, the Dems just don't have
anything left, Michael.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
They thought, they thought they had trade and you know,
the stock market, and you know, obviously you know, it
seems to be they just give it time and give
and give cop percent and others a chance to kind
of cut some deals.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You know, none of this is going to be done in.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Fifteen days all of a sudden construck, and you know,
America comes out on the other side more positive. I
think it's a good thing. You know, the Democrats are
goodnat trying to find something. Whether it you know, continues
to revolve around MS thirteen gang members, we'll see, but
you know, rooting actively rooting against you know, a country,
(02:54):
and America seems to be where they have kind of landed.
And that's that's a my good position to be in politically,
and I think it's something that they're going to have
to address very very strongly.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And you can't, you know, you can't ignore the civil
war they're in. They are, yeah, and you can't ignore
the civil war they're in because the establishment Democrats are
wanting to get back towards the American people in common sense.
But there's that leftist socialist judgment movement doing all the talking,
whether it's AOC or apparent to Bernie Sanders to add
things up maybe at a presidential run. And then Jasmine
(03:27):
Crockett taking her role outspoken to Congress and she's attacking
the president for being misogynistic and hating women, when, my goodness,
his chief of staff a powerful woman, head of Homeland
Security a powerful woman, and former governor head of the
(03:47):
Justice Department Pam Bondi a powerful woman. I mean, you
just it's not even playable, and they're trying to play it.
You just wonder how this is going to work out
for them. They need they need a leader, and they
need a message, and they need it fast.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
They're playing the same playbook that they've had for the
past thirty five years, you know, with with it when
they used to have the media on their side, and
when they used to have kind of the establishment kind
of structors backing up their their their their rhetoric.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
That's not happening.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Anymore ever since you want about Twitter, and it's just
kind of a pivot towards social media for ill and
for for good. You know, there isn't that ability for
the NBC Nightly News to just continue to pairt whatever
they're saying without any without any guardrails, and so you know,
they can't rely on their usual boogeymen to try to get.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Get there, get the upper hand politically, and then the.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Narrative, and so this is what comes out of it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They're used.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
They're running the same playbook, but you have a Republican
party and a president in particular who doesn't care what
they say and doesn't listen to their stuff. I mean,
that's part of that was their power as they had
Republicans cut and me being part of that for a
long time like, oh.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Well, you can't say that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You can't do that because you know they'll call you
racist or misogist or whatever.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Well, if you don't care what they say, or you just.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Kind of pulled them out on it, you know, and
it gives you tremendous leverage and power. And that's what
President Trump has done really really well.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So two things you bring up, and you made Red
very happy, by the way, by bringing up the death
of journalism and how that's affecting them. In their own manifesto,
Time Magazine, February fifteenth, twenty twenty one, they tell you
how they stole the election fair and square, and these
are all the operatives Podesta claim, who went on to
be Chief of staff for Joe Biden, and they say
(05:31):
democracy was at stake, So we weaponized COVID, We changed
election laws unconstitutionally without going through the state legislatures, and
we harvested ballots and we stole the election in swing states.
We did it because we had to save democracy. And
the way it worked was we controlled the narratives through
the media we own, and then we silenced all opposition
(05:54):
fought because we controlled technocracy and social media, so we
censored any opposition thought. Well, that doesn't exist anymore. And
you brought up Elon musk purchase of X, We brought
up the death of journalism. Nobody's following these networks. There's
nobody even watching. By the way, there's not that many
watching Fox News, let alone nobody's left at MSNBC and CNM.
(06:15):
So if you can't control the narrative and you can't
silence any opposition thought, and you got a president who's
inny constant home runs that the American people care about, well,
now you're left in this dilemma where you're trying to
be an opposing party, but you've really just become obstructionists.
So the American people are behind the secure border deporting
(06:35):
these dangerous people, and they're attacking ice facilities. I mean it. Yeah,
that's trying to play an old playbook that doesn't exist anymore.
Big mistake Republicans doing it looks like everything right. What's
still the unfinished business for the Republicans to really firm
things up prior to the midterms.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, no, Republicans are not doing it right at all. Frankly,
the House and sentence to get a gear and start
to enact some meaningful reforms. President Trump can do a
lot of executive orders, but you know, you and I
can can discuss whether or not the Democrat Party has
any life left in it. But if a Democrat wins
again and I still think it's xtared as possibly do,
I mean, the pendulum swings. You know, they have a
(07:17):
short amount of time to codify and get a lot
of the wins that President Trump has done on executive
order into law. So the House and the Senate need
to get into gear and start moving. I know, you know,
it's it's a very slim majority in the House. There's
a lot of stuff to do, but there seems to
be almost a reticence to take serious measures and serious
bills into account. They need, they need to be starting
to passing building and obviously the Senate's job right now
(07:38):
is to pass the president's appointees. And the Democrats are
coming out up tremendously by you know, taking all the
time for closure votes and other things. It doesn't make
sense to normal people. But the Senate is a slow
moving it's a cooling saucer.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Definitely called it per reason.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
But you know, Congress and the Republican Party at large
needs to kind of move into action mode rather than
in rhetoric mode into it, you know, being on Fox
using cable.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Because all the accomplishments have been executive orders, very little
of been legislation. If Anny all those speakers, Johnson thinks
he can get the tax deal done by the end
of May. That's looking really ambitious on this May twelfth,
I hope.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
So, you know, again, we're acting like we're not running
the house. I don't understand. You know, look, these are friends.
I don't want to be overly critical, but you know,
ultimately we run the House. And it seems like we've
had a four and a half month kind of vacation
period here. For lack of rete words, it seems like
the House hasn't been serious in terms of tackling things now. Obviously,
votes are you know, hard to come by in the
(08:36):
Republican party.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
You know that there's deaths at hawks versus.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
You know, macro Republicans versus kind of more modern Republicans.
I mean, it is not a uniform system, and that's
how it's supposed to be. And that's fine. But to me,
I would be using all the levers at my disposal
of trying to get the stuff cross finish line as
quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Four time runs out, Chris Walker, all things Republicans, youp
consultant analyst in a your morning show contributor. All right,
So if we have what looks like a meaningful consensus
beginning deal with China, where do we sit with this
long tariff nightmare? Is it just about over?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I think we're in the third fourth inning here, but
we're we're we're seeing some good scoring innings right now.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So it's it's a positive sign.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It's the win percentage on the ESPN.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We're there.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I would say that's tilting very much towards you know,
President Trump on this factor. Scott Descent has a good
head on his shoulder. He is a very successful guy.
He knows what he's doing. President Trump generally has a
very good foreign policy team. This announcement over the weekend
is a tremendously good, you know step but a China
American trade deal, you know, and I have not read
(09:45):
the details completely to be honest, but you know, whatever
it looks like is a positive sign that, you know,
getting through these issues and solving them is something that
President Trump is really good at. He is a deal maker.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And something like this is this he's.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Tailor made for or will yield some good results for
the country too, we hope. And so that's it's a
tremendously good sign. And you know, a president who wants
to shake up the status quo that has not been
in America's favor for a long time is yielding good results.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Over bloody's there well, as long as Vladimir Putin's at
the table, somebody's got a joker up their sleeves. So
I understand the cause for pause. But if Zelenski and
Putin get together, that's got to be a step in
a might have a shot at getting this done without
fighting another year. If so, you got the new talks
with Iran, you got the hostage, releases a new vision
(10:35):
for the Gaza in the future that'll stop this constant
reliving of insanity of every ten years, allowing the enemy
to build back up and create more disruption. I'm telling you,
if Obama got a Nobel peace price for doing nothing,
what are they going to give Donald Trump if he
pulls all this off.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Well, you mentioned the magic word Obama. So much of
this is at the seat of Obama's Iran Deal. And
you know, we continue to to to pay negative dividends
on President Obama's obsession with that, and you know, President
Trump having to unravel that and fix it will be
a tremendously great day for the Middle East, will be
a great day for for you know, global stability. And
(11:16):
it's something that you know, nobody talks about in the
in the legacy media. Again, obviously they're they're they're more
and more irrelevant. But so much of the stems from
the Iran Deal, from from the Obama administration that this
is this is a long time coming and hopefully a
very uh you know, positive outcome that will come out
of it. Again, don't want to sound too Pollyannis.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
A lot that has still have to happen.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
But from this perspective, it looks looks like a good
day for the Trump administration, and Republicans and conservatives were large.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Well, I was just gonna say, I think it's a
really bad day for Democrats. I think it's a I'm
not certain it's a great day for Republicans, but it's
definitely a great day for Trump supporters that mega Americans.
He just I'm almost I'm I think I'm officially getting
sick of winning so much. Well it's not that, well,
appreciate it so much. Yeah, we'll talk. Nice to have
(12:04):
you back on Monday too.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Always good, brother, winning is always good.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I do like winning. Nice to have you back in
your leadoff spot on Monday again, Chris Walker, All Things Republican.
Thanks for joining us. We'll talk again next Monday or
sooner if conditions warrant.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Dell.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Chino Jersey Secretary Scott Passent says the Trump administration very
close to a trade negotiation deal with China.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Percent said Sunday from Switzerland, the details will be coming
on Monday. With the talks productive, Chinese goods have been
hit with tariffs as high as one hundred and forty
five percent under the Trump administration. Percent and US Trade
Representative Jamison Career met with their Chinese counterparts in Switzerland
over this weekend, with Trump saying in a post on
truth social yesterday that an opening up of China to
(12:51):
American business is wanted for the good of both China
and the US.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm Chris Karagio. Now, baseline tariffs of ten percent are
likely to stay in place as the US negotiates trade
deals with other countries around the world. Tammy Trichello has
more on that.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
That's the word from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, who tells
CNN State of the Union that foreign companies and countries,
and not Americans, will bear the burden.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
We do expect to ten percent baseline tariff to be
in place for the foreseeable future. But don't buy the
silly arguments that the US consumer pays businesses their job
is to try to sell to the American consumer.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Plutonick says he's optimistic about US trade talks with China
and Switzerland that happened over the weekend, but didn't provide
any details. In a post on social media, President Trump
described Saturday's meeting is very good, saying there was great
progress made. I'm Tammy Trichello.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Now President Trump says, the last living American hostage held
by Hamas and the Gaza is coming home to New Jersey.
Sarah Lee Kessler has the details.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Hamas issued a statement Sunday saying it was releasing Israeli
American e John Alexander to reaches ceasefire agreement that would
allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza. Alexander graduated from
Tenafly High School in twenty twenty two, joined the IDF
and was captured at his army base when Hamas attacks
(14:15):
Southern Israel. On October seventh, twenty twenty three. US Special
envoid in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff says he's traveling
to Israel to secure the twenty one year old's release.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So if the mirror isn't depressing enough for you, it
is for me. A new AI tool can tell you
how old you look biologically. Mark Mayfield is back with
that story.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Face Age turns a headshot into a number that reflects
a person's biological age. Based on thousands of photos, face
age gave most cancer pations a biological age of five
years older than healthy peers. Research shows humans age at
different rates based on genes, stress, exercise, and habits like
smoking and drinking. Base age promises the same results as
(14:59):
genetic DNA t using only a selfie.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I'm mart Mayfield and sports Thunders certainly gave me a
lot of odgen, as we say in Italian, but they
came back and got the business done. Thunder ninety two
eighty seven over the Nuggets and ten for the series,
now tied to two. Heading to Tulsa or Tulsa, Oklahoma
City Tuesday for Game five, Calves were down forty and
(15:22):
a half you can almost stick a fork, and then
they lost one twenty nine to one oh nine. They
now trail Indiana three games to one with Game five
and Cleveland Tuesday on the ice of the NHL Panthers
beat the least two to nothings series tied to two.
Stars won five to two over the Jets. Dallas now
up two games to one. Hi, I'm Dennis, people of Mississippi,
(15:43):
and my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
del Jorno. Hi, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (15:54):

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Enjoy the podcast All Good News. Hamas to release the
final living US hostage. Dual citizen of Israel and the
US Eden Alexander will be home in New Jersey later today.
Zelensky agrees to talks with Russia after Trump intervenes. The
President assigned an executive order that could slash prescription drug
(16:33):
prices by eighty percent. It ties all the big pharma
companies to not be able to charge a penny more
in the US than the lowest price anywhere else in
the world. And the China talk seem to have gone
very well in Geneva. How well. We'll get more details today,
but it looks like cuts of at least one hundred
and fifteen percent have been agreed upon for at least
(16:55):
ninety days. And you know, continued success at the border,
continued safening of the country through deportation. I mean, everything
Donald Trump is touching is looking good. Right now. Speaking
of looking good. Right now, Apple's got themselves a huge
(17:16):
new hit series. It's called Your Friends and Neighbors, and
it stars John Hamm. One of the bright new stars
in the show is the very talented actress and singer
Lena Hall. Now, she's a Tony Award winning actress, but
this is the first time we're putting all of her
skills into triple threat form. And I got to tell you,
she's absolutely sensational and she's joining us. Now, good morning, Lena,
(17:38):
you do. I gotta tell you a real story. So
we're watching this show. Obviously, John Hamm is terrific, you know,
and we followed him, so we start watching the show.
The show's terrific. Amanda Pete, great to see her again.
And then your character appears. I look at my wife
because I love this that. You know, you can't really
go see a good movie anymore. Nobody tells good stories,
(18:00):
do you know? All the best shows are on Apple
and Netflix. And I'm meeting some very talented people. I
look at my wife and I go, oh, this one,
this one's special, this one's the real deal. And it
was you and then and I, because I'm not a
big Broadway fan, I don't get a chance to get
there very often, so I know I did what your
background was. And then that scene at Amanda Pete's birthday
(18:20):
and you sing that song blown Away and I'm in love.
You're just doing terrific. You're a highlight and a very
hot show.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Must feel great, thank you, Yeah, it does. It's uh,
it's a lot.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
I mean, it was a struggle to get to this
point because I thought my career was over. I wasn't
booking anything. I was doing tons of auditions. I was
being passed over by, you know, for so many things
because I don't you know, there were certain things that
like a lot of it had to do with I
didn't have a big enough following on social media or
(18:55):
oh I know that kind of thing, right, And and
I'd be like frustrated by it because you know, I
as an actor, you really want to work.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
As a performer, you want to perform.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
And and it's it's my livelihood, but also it feeds
my soul. And so when I got this audition, I
just didn't even think I would book it, Like there
was no way then and then I did, and so
and now the rest is, you know, happening, and it
feels like like really good.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
I'm glad I never gave up. There were years and
years where.
Speaker 12 (19:28):
I didn't work and I would have given up, but
I just don't have the I don't have the.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
The ability to give up on something.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Well, why you know, there is this issue of why
I was blown away by you singing and by the way,
just you and a guitar and a flawless vocal and
a song that was done in contemporary times in such
a way. You didn't realize what a poetic masterpiece that
song is and I never really heard the words till
(19:58):
you sang. Of course, you're grant Me nominated, You're a
Tony Award winner. You're very, very talented. I'm not much
for social media either, and they tell me you got
to get a bigger following. Isn't talent enough anymore? But
I really think if you re released that song, it'd
be a hit. It's really the way that song should
have been sung.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Oh well, thank you.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Yeah, the I actually did release it. It's on Spotify
and Apple Music. And I released an album of all
of the songs that Ali does.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
On the show. Oh yeah, I did all my own versions.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So and I thought I had a great idea way
to go well.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Fake plastic Trews is out there.
Speaker 12 (20:37):
And then I did a song called two More Days,
which is actually an original. And then and then that song,
which is gorgeous, and I knew of the song.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
I think everybody knows that song.
Speaker 12 (20:51):
And then when you listen to the lyrics or when
you read the lyrics, you're like, oh wow.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, especially when there are two characters are having the
most dysfunctional birthday that's going on simultaneously as you're singing
this master, It's just a great moment. Lena Hall's joining
us from the hit show Your Friends and Neighbors. I
guess everybody's gonna do this. In interviewing for him, I
talk about it all the time, but describe the show.
I think it proves that we focus on all the
(21:18):
wrong things in life. We make a mess of life.
But in the midst of that mess, guess what the
essence of what makes life great is all around us.
And I see that with your character in John Ham too.
But it's about materialism and shallowness. It's it really is neat.
It's a different pretty good.
Speaker 10 (21:36):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
Yeah, that's what I usually say the show is about
the death of the American dream. So basically it's about
this dream that you know, the more, the bigger the house,
the more money I make, you know, the happier I'll be,
the more successful I'll.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Be, the the way I love your house in the
background right now, but go ahead.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
But you know that idea of the American dream, you know,
own a house and have kids and then have a
fancy car and have all this stuff, and like like
it means anything, but it doesn't. Like what I love
is that John Hamm's character is going through a destruction
of what he thought would make him happy exactly, these
(22:21):
beliefs that were fed from a very early age of
what would make us happy. When it's he had it,
he had it, he lost sight of it. He had
the family and that you know, it's like it's like
this destruction of what he thought was success and what
made him happy and what he needed is making him
realize what actually does matter is is a real family
(22:44):
and real friend.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, and that's where your character comes in, because that's
really they display very quickly through your character and John
Hamm that following Mother's Day, this is a funny time
to bring it up. But the mother character is just awful,
all right, So obviously didn't yet a clueless father that
was being overrun by a terrible mother. But there's a
but in the midst of all of this dysfunction, there's
(23:07):
function with you and him. There's true love, not inappropriate,
but brother and sister love and care. It's like, in
all of that insanity, you two are the only sane ones,
and you're supposed to be mentally ill, and you're the
only one that makes sense. I mean that it's got
to be by design. The writers did a terrific job.
I mean, with the exception when you're at your ex's
house singing in the front yard that I was embarrassed
(23:29):
for you on that one, Dana Ali, whoever you that's
I never even stooped out drive by stock, yes, but
just sit there in the front yard and sing no.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
Yeah. Well that's that's the interesting thing is that they they.
Speaker 13 (23:46):
Wrote her to be the most normal character exactly show.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
And yet she struggles so hard with her with being
bipolar and and just trying to function in a world
that was not built for her.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Do you have any by the way, I know the
whole world's so politically correct and I'm just not into that.
But when you play a role like this, you know
there's people watching. I have a friend who has a
son and he just when he's on his meds, he's
doing great, but he just doesn't feel alive. He doesn't
feel you know, he's connected, so he goes off of
them and then crazy things happen. There's a little responsibility
in portraying this too, isn't there And I think you
(24:23):
do a great job of walking that line. And they
don't shove it down our throat either.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Yeah, that's the point.
Speaker 12 (24:30):
I mean, when you really you know, if you do
know someone who is bipolar, there's a lot of there's
a big it's a big struggle.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
It's a big struggle, and.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
There's a lot of masking that happens, so there's tons
of turmoil and things going on underneath the surface. But
oftentimes you won't get that when you're just hanging with
the person unless you really know them and you're deep,
deep in their circle. So you know, what was so
important to me is to convey a It's to convey
(25:01):
just a human being, someone who goes through regular struggles,
who you know, we all struggle.
Speaker 13 (25:08):
We all struggle in some way. You know, you'd probably
notice my weight problem just looking at too many. I'll
never forget I snuggled up with.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It was a chill night a Yankee stadium with this
obese guy who was sneaking to watch the baseball game
from his wife. He comes back with those you know,
those big buckets where the fries are half of it
and then the chicken's on top. Yeah, and he's like,
you know, I'm diabetic and my wife never lets meet
this stuff. You know, next thing, you know, we're Sharon
Fries Sharon Chicken together. But we all ever know, but
we all ever struggle. It's this beautifully, beautifully portrayed. You
(25:43):
have a real gift, and you are surrounded by a
great cast, and you still stand out. So you don't
need me to say this. You've got a Tony Award,
you're Grammy nominated. The show is just terrific. It is
filled with dysfunction. But I think it's dysfunction that's all
around us, and it's a warning I think all of
us should take very seriously. Nobody cares about your job,
(26:03):
Nobody cares about your house, Nobody cares about your car
or your new landscape. Look around you, at your kids,
at your wife, it's your brothers and sisters. It's the
love and the relationships that we have that if we
keep that the focus, you'll avoid these nightmares. But I
got to tell you, the nightmares are very entertaining to watch.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
They are very entertaining to watch. Yeah, my dad is like,
I hate those people.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
Like he's watching the show and it's just like I
hate those He's ninety three years old and he's like,
I hate those people, like the neighbors.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But the show just make you want to go steal something, though,
doesn't it listens. I don't think there's anything more popular.
The hardest part is we discovered it week two, so
I'm literally having to wait every Friday night for a
new hour show.
Speaker 12 (26:48):
I'm sorry it is painful, but that's great. I like
it because it makes people talk about like their hypotheses.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
They get more like in depth of the character.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
You have time to think about you know the characters,
and you have time to like really like talk with
friends and and bond over like hating someone on the show.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, there's someone to hate every episode, right.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Yeah, So it's like it's like it's great, but I.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Never hate Lena Hall and her character Ali. If you
haven't seen the show, your friends and neighbors, John hamstars
Amanda Pete his sister Ali. That's Lena who you just met.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno special.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Welcome to News Radio one O four nine WBUV and Biloxi, USA,
right there on that Gulf of America, probably having breakfast
right now at the Treasure Bay or at the Beau Ravage.
Welcome to your morning show. We're delighted to be in
your city. We also want to welcome Brickhouse Lean as
a new sponsor. Lean stop the Yo Yo Gang. This
(27:58):
is a supplement, not a shot, and it works and
it's slow, steady losses that stick. And I've been using
it now for I think it's going on five months.
I love it. I also have their greens and fruits
as well. All Right, if you're just waking up, these
are the three biggest things you need to know. The
Treasure Secretary, Scott Descent was the first to come out
(28:19):
in Geneva and make the announcement that very close to
a trade deal with China that give us more details
today but at least a consensus to cut tariffs one
hundred and fifteen percent for the next ninety days. That's
a great story. Meanwhile, the president says the last living
American hostage held by Hamas in the Gaza is headed
(28:39):
home to New Jersey. Sara Lee Kessler has those details.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
Hamas issued a statement Sunday saying it was releasing Israeli
American eedon Alexander to reach a ceasefire agreement that would
allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza. Alexander graduated from
Tenafly High School in twenty twenty two, join the IDF
and was captured at his army base when Hamas attacks
(29:03):
Southern Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three. US Special
Envoy of the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff says he's traveling
to Israel to secure the twenty one year old's release.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Here's another great story, and that is the president. For
all the pandering for votes that have been done with
big pharma and cutting we got to do something about
prescription drugs, kind of like we had some about the border. No,
we just needed a new president and Trump will sign
an executive order today to slash drug prices by thirty
to eighty percent. It will keep big Pharma from charging
(29:39):
a penny more in the United States than the lowest
price of charges in other countries. This is huge. Then
he's offered his Arab tour in the Middle East and
that leaves us one order of business, Jerry selection. There's
somehow I delay irinkle if you will, in the p
Diddy trial because the key witness has disappeared. Rory's out
on the street live right now. Our National Corp spotted
(30:00):
looking for that. No what happened or would this witness?
Speaker 14 (30:04):
I think that that witness is just trying to lay
low avoid a lot of the pressure and the spotlight
that's been on this case because their lawyer is also
not responding. You know, the court session just got underway
a few minutes ago, so we're hoping to get an update.
Did he at though has yet to actually enter the
courtroom from some of the tweets I'm seeing, Remember this
is federal courts and no cameras, no microphones. You have
(30:27):
to do that sort of relay thing. Was the few
reporters that are in the room to watch this unfold.
But did he is facing five federal charges all related
to these allegations of these free golfs that well, he
says they were everyone there was a consenting adults.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Prosecution says otherwise. Well, I mean their main defense is
he has an open swinger lifestyle, right, you know, but
the underage part is a big issue, and the drug
charges of that. There is no charges of underage at all.
Speaker 14 (31:04):
No, no, not of underage and not of drug use.
Now whether or not you could you could argue, perhaps
they may argue that the drug use was used to
coerce people to stay or to take part, but that's
He's facing counts of trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution,
and racketeering.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
All right, and these charges, if they stick, could add
up to what essentially would be the rest of his life, right, yeah,
pretty much.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
I think one of them is a minimum mandatory fifteen years.
So yeah, you start combining these things and it's looking
at serious time. And then you add in all the
civil lawsuits. We're talking like a hundred different civil lawsuits
are being filed. So anytime that Diddy is not in
a jail cell, he's going to be in a courtroom
for the next twenty years.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And probably the most just to recap our most interesting
story of the day. And there's some there's some legal question,
there's protocols, and there's law about gifts to administrations and
where they can ultimately go. So from US Air Force
one and a seven forty seven, your first thought of
security for the president. The second thought is something with
(32:13):
that grade of a worth is it even legal to receive?
And where does it ultimately end up? So Cutter is
apparently going to be donating is it one or two planes?
One one? And it's valued at four hundred million, So
the president is waiting on two new Air Force ones.
The delay has been so great that this is supposed
(32:33):
to be a shortcut to that. But by the time
you take it completely apart, can you get that done
any quicker than the two that you're waiting on?
Speaker 14 (32:42):
Well, and then spend the money on it as well
to upgrade it. And then after all the upgrades, who
essentially gifted to the Trump Library at the end of
Donald Trump's presidency is the other question here, and it
really I think speaks most of all to these library
funds for all the ex presidents they're turning into these
second not a hand that have really gotten out of hand,
(33:03):
and that is something that might really be what's addressed
at the end here.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Have you ever been to a presidential library? I have not? Wait,
sorry jfk sorry jfk Oh you went and that that
one's got to be terrific. Yep. Is it in Boston?
It's there in Boston, yep. One. I got to do.
As much as I've made a life study of John F. Kennedy,
I got to do that. I want to do the Reagan.
Is it Reagan's that has an air Force one in it?
(33:28):
I believe so? Yeah? And then the Valley. But this
would be this would be a three hundred. I mean,
the library shouldn't cost that much. Let alone, haven't propped
and costs that much. That's one of the stranger stories
of the day.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
All R.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael gill Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Tomorrow, Syndicated columnist and legend Dave Barry will join us
later this hour. Leana Hall from the hit show Your
Friends and Neighbors with John a'm on Apple will be
joining us. We want to welcome all the listeners at
news Radio one oh four nine w b u V
in Biloxi, Mississippi. Welcome to the Your Morning Show Kitchen Table,
(01:03):
and what a table it is. Scott Pcent announcing significant
accomplishments and consensus with the trade deal with China. Stock
market futures are reacting and soaring because of it. President
Trump will sign an executive order today that'll cap prescription
drugs and pharmaceutical prices, maybe slashing them by as much
(01:23):
as eighty percent, and then heading for his Mid East
peace trip. And I can't think of anything Hamas gets
in return, But the President has cut a deal and
the final remaining living American hostage is being released by
Hamas and the Gaza strip every things coming up, roses
and daffodils. Chris Walker's here, Chris, I use this analogy,
(01:45):
and I hate playing the dams the dam's shirts and
skins politics. In fact, you knows I'm not of either
party and wish both would disappear. Ultimately. I think one
will by the end of the decade. But oh, the
Trump administration certainly appears to be the adults at the
table with the kids in the family room having a
food fight at another table. Uh. First it was eggs,
(02:08):
then it was dolls from China, and now what's it
going to be? I mean, the Dems just don't have
anything left, Michael.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
They thought, they thought they had trade and you know,
the stock market, and you know, obviously you know, it
seems to be they just give it time and give
and give cop percent and others a chance to kind
of cut some deals.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You know, none of this is going to be done in.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Fifteen days all of a sudden construck, and you know,
America comes out on the other side more positive. I
think it's a good thing. You know, the Democrats are
goodnat trying to find something. Whether it you know, continues
to revolve around MS thirteen gang members, we'll see, but
you know, rooting actively rooting against you know, a country,
(02:54):
and America seems to be where they have kind of landed.
And that's that's a my good position to be in politically,
and I think it's something that they're going to have
to address very very strongly.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And you can't, you know, you can't ignore the civil
war they're in. They are, yeah, and you can't ignore
the civil war they're in because the establishment Democrats are
wanting to get back towards the American people in common sense.
But there's that leftist socialist judgment movement doing all the talking,
whether it's AOC or apparent to Bernie Sanders to add
things up maybe at a presidential run. And then Jasmine
(03:27):
Crockett taking her role outspoken to Congress and she's attacking
the president for being misogynistic and hating women, when, my goodness,
his chief of staff a powerful woman, head of Homeland
Security a powerful woman, and former governor head of the
(03:47):
Justice Department Pam Bondi a powerful woman. I mean, you
just it's not even playable, and they're trying to play it.
You just wonder how this is going to work out
for them. They need they need a leader, and they
need a message, and they need it fast.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
They're playing the same playbook that they've had for the
past thirty five years, you know, with with it when
they used to have the media on their side, and
when they used to have kind of the establishment kind
of structors backing up their their their their rhetoric.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
That's not happening.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Anymore ever since you want about Twitter, and it's just
kind of a pivot towards social media for ill and
for for good. You know, there isn't that ability for
the NBC Nightly News to just continue to pairt whatever
they're saying without any without any guardrails, and so you know,
they can't rely on their usual boogeymen to try to get.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Get there, get the upper hand politically, and then the.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Narrative, and so this is what comes out of it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They're used.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
They're running the same playbook, but you have a Republican
party and a president in particular who doesn't care what
they say and doesn't listen to their stuff. I mean,
that's part of that was their power as they had
Republicans cut and me being part of that for a
long time like, oh.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Well, you can't say that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You can't do that because you know they'll call you
racist or misogist or whatever.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Well, if you don't care what they say, or you just.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Kind of pulled them out on it, you know, and
it gives you tremendous leverage and power. And that's what
President Trump has done really really well.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So two things you bring up, and you made Red
very happy, by the way, by bringing up the death
of journalism and how that's affecting them. In their own manifesto,
Time Magazine, February fifteenth, twenty twenty one, they tell you
how they stole the election fair and square, and these
are all the operatives Podesta claim, who went on to
be Chief of staff for Joe Biden, and they say
(05:31):
democracy was at stake, So we weaponized COVID, We changed
election laws unconstitutionally without going through the state legislatures, and
we harvested ballots and we stole the election in swing states.
We did it because we had to save democracy. And
the way it worked was we controlled the narratives through
the media we own, and then we silenced all opposition
(05:54):
fought because we controlled technocracy and social media, so we
censored any opposition thought. Well, that doesn't exist anymore. And
you brought up Elon musk purchase of X, We brought
up the death of journalism. Nobody's following these networks. There's
nobody even watching. By the way, there's not that many
watching Fox News, let alone nobody's left at MSNBC and CNM.
(06:15):
So if you can't control the narrative and you can't
silence any opposition thought, and you got a president who's
inny constant home runs that the American people care about, well,
now you're left in this dilemma where you're trying to
be an opposing party, but you've really just become obstructionists.
So the American people are behind the secure border deporting
(06:35):
these dangerous people, and they're attacking ice facilities. I mean it. Yeah,
that's trying to play an old playbook that doesn't exist anymore.
Big mistake Republicans doing it looks like everything right. What's
still the unfinished business for the Republicans to really firm
things up prior to the midterms.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, no, Republicans are not doing it right at all. Frankly,
the House and sentence to get a gear and start
to enact some meaningful reforms. President Trump can do a
lot of executive orders, but you know, you and I
can can discuss whether or not the Democrat Party has
any life left in it. But if a Democrat wins
again and I still think it's xtared as possibly do,
I mean, the pendulum swings. You know, they have a
(07:17):
short amount of time to codify and get a lot
of the wins that President Trump has done on executive
order into law. So the House and the Senate need
to get into gear and start moving. I know, you know,
it's it's a very slim majority in the House. There's
a lot of stuff to do, but there seems to
be almost a reticence to take serious measures and serious
bills into account. They need, they need to be starting
to passing building and obviously the Senate's job right now
(07:38):
is to pass the president's appointees. And the Democrats are
coming out up tremendously by you know, taking all the
time for closure votes and other things. It doesn't make
sense to normal people. But the Senate is a slow
moving it's a cooling saucer.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Definitely called it per reason.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
But you know, Congress and the Republican Party at large
needs to kind of move into action mode rather than
in rhetoric mode into it, you know, being on Fox
using cable.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Because all the accomplishments have been executive orders, very little
of been legislation. If Anny all those speakers, Johnson thinks
he can get the tax deal done by the end
of May. That's looking really ambitious on this May twelfth,
I hope.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
So, you know, again, we're acting like we're not running
the house. I don't understand. You know, look, these are friends.
I don't want to be overly critical, but you know,
ultimately we run the House. And it seems like we've
had a four and a half month kind of vacation
period here. For lack of rete words, it seems like
the House hasn't been serious in terms of tackling things now. Obviously,
votes are you know, hard to come by in the
(08:36):
Republican party.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
You know that there's deaths at hawks versus.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
You know, macro Republicans versus kind of more modern Republicans.
I mean, it is not a uniform system, and that's
how it's supposed to be. And that's fine. But to me,
I would be using all the levers at my disposal
of trying to get the stuff cross finish line as
quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Four time runs out, Chris Walker, all things Republicans, youp
consultant analyst in a your morning show contributor. All right,
So if we have what looks like a meaningful consensus
beginning deal with China, where do we sit with this
long tariff nightmare? Is it just about over?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I think we're in the third fourth inning here, but
we're we're we're seeing some good scoring innings right now.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So it's it's a positive sign.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It's the win percentage on the ESPN.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We're there.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I would say that's tilting very much towards you know,
President Trump on this factor. Scott Descent has a good
head on his shoulder. He is a very successful guy.
He knows what he's doing. President Trump generally has a
very good foreign policy team. This announcement over the weekend
is a tremendously good, you know step but a China
American trade deal, you know, and I have not read
(09:45):
the details completely to be honest, but you know, whatever
it looks like is a positive sign that, you know,
getting through these issues and solving them is something that
President Trump is really good at. He is a deal maker.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And something like this is this he's.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Tailor made for or will yield some good results for
the country too, we hope. And so that's it's a
tremendously good sign. And you know, a president who wants
to shake up the status quo that has not been
in America's favor for a long time is yielding good results.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Over bloody's there well, as long as Vladimir Putin's at
the table, somebody's got a joker up their sleeves. So
I understand the cause for pause. But if Zelenski and
Putin get together, that's got to be a step in
a might have a shot at getting this done without
fighting another year. If so, you got the new talks
with Iran, you got the hostage, releases a new vision
(10:35):
for the Gaza in the future that'll stop this constant
reliving of insanity of every ten years, allowing the enemy
to build back up and create more disruption. I'm telling you,
if Obama got a Nobel peace price for doing nothing,
what are they going to give Donald Trump if he
pulls all this off.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Well, you mentioned the magic word Obama. So much of
this is at the seat of Obama's Iran Deal. And
you know, we continue to to to pay negative dividends
on President Obama's obsession with that, and you know, President
Trump having to unravel that and fix it will be
a tremendously great day for the Middle East, will be
a great day for for you know, global stability. And
(11:16):
it's something that you know, nobody talks about in the
in the legacy media. Again, obviously they're they're they're more
and more irrelevant. But so much of the stems from
the Iran Deal, from from the Obama administration that this
is this is a long time coming and hopefully a
very uh you know, positive outcome that will come out
of it. Again, don't want to sound too Pollyannis.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
A lot that has still have to happen.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
But from this perspective, it looks looks like a good
day for the Trump administration, and Republicans and conservatives were large.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Well, I was just gonna say, I think it's a
really bad day for Democrats. I think it's a I'm
not certain it's a great day for Republicans, but it's
definitely a great day for Trump supporters that mega Americans.
He just I'm almost I'm I think I'm officially getting
sick of winning so much. Well it's not that, well,
appreciate it so much. Yeah, we'll talk. Nice to have
(12:04):
you back on Monday too.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Always good, brother, winning is always good.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I do like winning. Nice to have you back in
your leadoff spot on Monday again, Chris Walker, All Things Republican.
Thanks for joining us. We'll talk again next Monday or
sooner if conditions warrant.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Dell.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Chino Jersey Secretary Scott Passent says the Trump administration very
close to a trade negotiation deal with China.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Percent said Sunday from Switzerland, the details will be coming
on Monday. With the talks productive, Chinese goods have been
hit with tariffs as high as one hundred and forty
five percent under the Trump administration. Percent and US Trade
Representative Jamison Career met with their Chinese counterparts in Switzerland
over this weekend, with Trump saying in a post on
truth social yesterday that an opening up of China to
(12:51):
American business is wanted for the good of both China
and the US.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm Chris Karagio. Now, baseline tariffs of ten percent are
likely to stay in place as the US negotiates trade
deals with other countries around the world. Tammy Trichello has
more on that.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
That's the word from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, who tells
CNN State of the Union that foreign companies and countries,
and not Americans, will bear the burden.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
We do expect to ten percent baseline tariff to be
in place for the foreseeable future. But don't buy the
silly arguments that the US consumer pays businesses their job
is to try to sell to the American consumer.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Plutonick says he's optimistic about US trade talks with China
and Switzerland that happened over the weekend, but didn't provide
any details. In a post on social media, President Trump
described Saturday's meeting is very good, saying there was great
progress made. I'm Tammy Trichello.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Now President Trump says, the last living American hostage held
by Hamas and the Gaza is coming home to New Jersey.
Sarah Lee Kessler has the details.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Hamas issued a statement Sunday saying it was releasing Israeli
American e John Alexander to reaches ceasefire agreement that would
allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza. Alexander graduated from
Tenafly High School in twenty twenty two, joined the IDF
and was captured at his army base when Hamas attacks
(14:15):
Southern Israel. On October seventh, twenty twenty three. US Special
envoid in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff says he's traveling
to Israel to secure the twenty one year old's release.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So if the mirror isn't depressing enough for you, it
is for me. A new AI tool can tell you
how old you look biologically. Mark Mayfield is back with
that story.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Face Age turns a headshot into a number that reflects
a person's biological age. Based on thousands of photos, face
age gave most cancer pations a biological age of five
years older than healthy peers. Research shows humans age at
different rates based on genes, stress, exercise, and habits like
smoking and drinking. Base age promises the same results as
(14:59):
genetic DNA t using only a selfie.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I'm mart Mayfield and sports Thunders certainly gave me a
lot of odgen, as we say in Italian, but they
came back and got the business done. Thunder ninety two
eighty seven over the Nuggets and ten for the series,
now tied to two. Heading to Tulsa or Tulsa, Oklahoma
City Tuesday for Game five, Calves were down forty and
(15:22):
a half you can almost stick a fork, and then
they lost one twenty nine to one oh nine. They
now trail Indiana three games to one with Game five
and Cleveland Tuesday on the ice of the NHL Panthers

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Enjoy the podcast All Good News. Hamas to release the
final living US hostage. Dual citizen of Israel and the
US Eden Alexander will be home in New Jersey later today.
Zelensky agrees to talks with Russia after Trump intervenes. The
President assigned an executive order that could slash prescription drug
(16:33):
prices by eighty percent. It ties all the big pharma
companies to not be able to charge a penny more
in the US than the lowest price anywhere else in
the world. And the China talk seem to have gone
very well in Geneva. How well. We'll get more details today,
but it looks like cuts of at least one hundred
and fifteen percent have been agreed upon for at least
(16:55):
ninety days. And you know, continued success at the border,
continued safening of the country through deportation. I mean, everything
Donald Trump is touching is looking good. Right now. Speaking
of looking good. Right now, Apple's got themselves a huge
(17:16):
new hit series. It's called Your Friends and Neighbors, and
it stars John Hamm. One of the bright new stars
in the show is the very talented actress and singer
Lena Hall. Now, she's a Tony Award winning actress, but
this is the first time we're putting all of her
skills into triple threat form. And I got to tell you,
she's absolutely sensational and she's joining us. Now, good morning, Lena,
(17:38):
you do. I gotta tell you a real story. So
we're watching this show. Obviously, John Hamm is terrific, you know,
and we followed him, so we start watching the show.
The show's terrific. Amanda Pete, great to see her again.
And then your character appears. I look at my wife
because I love this that. You know, you can't really
go see a good movie anymore. Nobody tells good stories,
(18:00):
do you know? All the best shows are on Apple
and Netflix. And I'm meeting some very talented people. I
look at my wife and I go, oh, this one,
this one's special, this one's the real deal. And it
was you and then and I, because I'm not a
big Broadway fan, I don't get a chance to get
there very often, so I know I did what your
background was. And then that scene at Amanda Pete's birthday
(18:20):
and you sing that song blown Away and I'm in love.
You're just doing terrific. You're a highlight and a very
hot show.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Must feel great, thank you, Yeah, it does. It's uh,
it's a lot.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
I mean, it was a struggle to get to this
point because I thought my career was over. I wasn't
booking anything. I was doing tons of auditions. I was
being passed over by, you know, for so many things
because I don't you know, there were certain things that
like a lot of it had to do with I
didn't have a big enough following on social media or
(18:55):
oh I know that kind of thing, right, And and
I'd be like frustrated by it because you know, I
as an actor, you really want to work.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
As a performer, you want to perform.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
And and it's it's my livelihood, but also it feeds
my soul. And so when I got this audition, I
just didn't even think I would book it, Like there
was no way then and then I did, and so
and now the rest is, you know, happening, and it
feels like like really good.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
I'm glad I never gave up. There were years and
years where.
Speaker 12 (19:28):
I didn't work and I would have given up, but
I just don't have the I don't have the.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
The ability to give up on something.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Well, why you know, there is this issue of why
I was blown away by you singing and by the way,
just you and a guitar and a flawless vocal and
a song that was done in contemporary times in such
a way. You didn't realize what a poetic masterpiece that
song is and I never really heard the words till
(19:58):
you sang. Of course, you're grant Me nominated, You're a
Tony Award winner. You're very, very talented. I'm not much
for social media either, and they tell me you got
to get a bigger following. Isn't talent enough anymore? But
I really think if you re released that song, it'd
be a hit. It's really the way that song should
have been sung.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Oh well, thank you.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Yeah, the I actually did release it. It's on Spotify
and Apple Music. And I released an album of all
of the songs that Ali does.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
On the show. Oh yeah, I did all my own versions.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So and I thought I had a great idea way
to go well.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Fake plastic Trews is out there.
Speaker 12 (20:37):
And then I did a song called two More Days,
which is actually an original. And then and then that song,
which is gorgeous, and I knew of the song.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
I think everybody knows that song.
Speaker 12 (20:51):
And then when you listen to the lyrics or when
you read the lyrics, you're like, oh wow.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, especially when there are two characters are having the
most dysfunctional birthday that's going on simultaneously as you're singing
this master, It's just a great moment. Lena Hall's joining
us from the hit show Your Friends and Neighbors. I
guess everybody's gonna do this. In interviewing for him, I
talk about it all the time, but describe the show.
I think it proves that we focus on all the
(21:18):
wrong things in life. We make a mess of life.
But in the midst of that mess, guess what the
essence of what makes life great is all around us.
And I see that with your character in John Ham too.
But it's about materialism and shallowness. It's it really is neat.
It's a different pretty good.
Speaker 10 (21:36):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
Yeah, that's what I usually say the show is about
the death of the American dream. So basically it's about
this dream that you know, the more, the bigger the house,
the more money I make, you know, the happier I'll be,
the more successful I'll.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Be, the the way I love your house in the
background right now, but go ahead.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
But you know that idea of the American dream, you know,
own a house and have kids and then have a
fancy car and have all this stuff, and like like
it means anything, but it doesn't. Like what I love
is that John Hamm's character is going through a destruction
of what he thought would make him happy exactly, these
(22:21):
beliefs that were fed from a very early age of
what would make us happy. When it's he had it,
he had it, he lost sight of it. He had
the family and that you know, it's like it's like
this destruction of what he thought was success and what
made him happy and what he needed is making him
realize what actually does matter is is a real family
(22:44):
and real friend.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, and that's where your character comes in, because that's
really they display very quickly through your character and John
Hamm that following Mother's Day, this is a funny time
to bring it up. But the mother character is just awful,
all right, So obviously didn't yet a clueless father that
was being overrun by a terrible mother. But there's a
but in the midst of all of this dysfunction, there's
(23:07):
function with you and him. There's true love, not inappropriate,
but brother and sister love and care. It's like, in
all of that insanity, you two are the only sane ones,
and you're supposed to be mentally ill, and you're the
only one that makes sense. I mean that it's got
to be by design. The writers did a terrific job.
I mean, with the exception when you're at your ex's
house singing in the front yard that I was embarrassed
(23:29):
for you on that one, Dana Ali, whoever you that's
I never even stooped out drive by stock, yes, but
just sit there in the front yard and sing no.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
Yeah. Well that's that's the interesting thing is that they they.
Speaker 13 (23:46):
Wrote her to be the most normal character exactly show.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
And yet she struggles so hard with her with being
bipolar and and just trying to function in a world
that was not built for her.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Do you have any by the way, I know the
whole world's so politically correct and I'm just not into that.
But when you play a role like this, you know
there's people watching. I have a friend who has a
son and he just when he's on his meds, he's
doing great, but he just doesn't feel alive. He doesn't
feel you know, he's connected, so he goes off of
them and then crazy things happen. There's a little responsibility
in portraying this too, isn't there And I think you
(24:23):
do a great job of walking that line. And they
don't shove it down our throat either.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Yeah, that's the point.
Speaker 12 (24:30):
I mean, when you really you know, if you do
know someone who is bipolar, there's a lot of there's
a big it's a big struggle.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
It's a big struggle, and.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
There's a lot of masking that happens, so there's tons
of turmoil and things going on underneath the surface. But
oftentimes you won't get that when you're just hanging with
the person unless you really know them and you're deep,
deep in their circle. So you know, what was so
important to me is to convey a It's to convey
(25:01):
just a human being, someone who goes through regular struggles,
who you know, we all struggle.
Speaker 13 (25:08):
We all struggle in some way. You know, you'd probably
notice my weight problem just looking at too many. I'll
never forget I snuggled up with.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It was a chill night a Yankee stadium with this
obese guy who was sneaking to watch the baseball game
from his wife. He comes back with those you know,
those big buckets where the fries are half of it
and then the chicken's on top. Yeah, and he's like,
you know, I'm diabetic and my wife never lets meet
this stuff. You know, next thing, you know, we're Sharon
Fries Sharon Chicken together. But we all ever know, but
we all ever struggle. It's this beautifully, beautifully portrayed. You
(25:43):
have a real gift, and you are surrounded by a
great cast, and you still stand out. So you don't
need me to say this. You've got a Tony Award,
you're Grammy nominated. The show is just terrific. It is
filled with dysfunction. But I think it's dysfunction that's all
around us, and it's a warning I think all of
us should take very seriously. Nobody cares about your job,
(26:03):
Nobody cares about your house, Nobody cares about your car
or your new landscape. Look around you, at your kids,
at your wife, it's your brothers and sisters. It's the
love and the relationships that we have that if we
keep that the focus, you'll avoid these nightmares. But I
got to tell you, the nightmares are very entertaining to watch.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
They are very entertaining to watch. Yeah, my dad is like,
I hate those people.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
Like he's watching the show and it's just like I
hate those He's ninety three years old and he's like,
I hate those people, like the neighbors.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But the show just make you want to go steal something, though,
doesn't it listens. I don't think there's anything more popular.
The hardest part is we discovered it week two, so
I'm literally having to wait every Friday night for a
new hour show.
Speaker 12 (26:48):
I'm sorry it is painful, but that's great. I like
it because it makes people talk about like their hypotheses.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
They get more like in depth of the character.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
You have time to think about you know the characters,
and you have time to like really like talk with
friends and and bond over like hating someone on the show.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, there's someone to hate every episode, right.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Yeah, So it's like it's like it's great, but I.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Never hate Lena Hall and her character Ali. If you
haven't seen the show, your friends and neighbors, John hamstars
Amanda Pete his sister Ali. That's Lena who you just met.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno special.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Welcome to News Radio one O four nine WBUV and Biloxi, USA,
right there on that Gulf of America, probably having breakfast
right now at the Treasure Bay or at the Beau Ravage.
Welcome to your morning show. We're delighted to be in
your city. We also want to welcome Brickhouse Lean as
a new sponsor. Lean stop the Yo Yo Gang. This
(27:58):
is a supplement, not a shot, and it works and
it's slow, steady losses that stick. And I've been using
it now for I think it's going on five months.
I love it. I also have their greens and fruits
as well. All Right, if you're just waking up, these
are the three biggest things you need to know. The
Treasure Secretary, Scott Descent was the first to come out
(28:19):
in Geneva and make the announcement that very close to
a trade deal with China that give us more details
today but at least a consensus to cut tariffs one
hundred and fifteen percent for the next ninety days. That's
a great story. Meanwhile, the president says the last living
American hostage held by Hamas in the Gaza is headed
(28:39):
home to New Jersey. Sara Lee Kessler has those details.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
Hamas issued a statement Sunday saying it was releasing Israeli
American eedon Alexander to reach a ceasefire agreement that would
allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza. Alexander graduated from
Tenafly High School in twenty twenty two, join the IDF
and was captured at his army base when Hamas attacks
(29:03):
Southern Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three. US Special
Envoy of the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff says he's traveling
to Israel to secure the twenty one year old's release.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Here's another great story, and that is the president. For
all the pandering for votes that have been done with
big pharma and cutting we got to do something about
prescription drugs, kind of like we had some about the border. No,
we just needed a new president and Trump will sign
an executive order today to slash drug prices by thirty
to eighty percent. It will keep big Pharma from charging
(29:39):
a penny more in the United States than the lowest
price of charges in other countries. This is huge. Then
he's offered his Arab tour in the Middle East and
that leaves us one order of business, Jerry selection. There's
somehow I delay irinkle if you will, in the p
Diddy trial because the key witness has disappeared. Rory's out
on the street live right now. Our National Corp spotted
(30:00):
looking for that. No what happened or would this witness?
Speaker 14 (30:04):
I think that that witness is just trying to lay
low avoid a lot of the pressure and the spotlight
that's been on this case because their lawyer is also
not responding. You know, the court session just got underway
a few minutes ago, so we're hoping to get an update.
Did he at though has yet to actually enter the
courtroom from some of the tweets I'm seeing, Remember this
is federal courts and no cameras, no microphones. You have
(30:27):
to do that sort of relay thing. Was the few
reporters that are in the room to watch this unfold.
But did he is facing five federal charges all related
to these allegations of these free golfs that well, he
says they were everyone there was a consenting adults.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Prosecution says otherwise. Well, I mean their main defense is
he has an open swinger lifestyle, right, you know, but
the underage part is a big issue, and the drug
charges of that. There is no charges of underage at all.
Speaker 14 (31:04):
No, no, not of underage and not of drug use.
Now whether or not you could you could argue, perhaps
they may argue that the drug use was used to
coerce people to stay or to take part, but that's
He's facing counts of trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution,
and racketeering.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
All right, and these charges, if they stick, could add
up to what essentially would be the rest of his life, right, yeah,
pretty much.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
I think one of them is a minimum mandatory fifteen years.
So yeah, you start combining these things and it's looking
at serious time. And then you add in all the
civil lawsuits. We're talking like a hundred different civil lawsuits
are being filed. So anytime that Diddy is not in
a jail cell, he's going to be in a courtroom
for the next twenty years.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And probably the most just to recap our most interesting
story of the day. And there's some there's some legal question,
there's protocols, and there's law about gifts to administrations and
where they can ultimately go. So from US Air Force
one and a seven forty seven, your first thought of
security for the president. The second thought is something with
(32:13):
that grade of a worth is it even legal to receive?
And where does it ultimately end up? So Cutter is
apparently going to be donating is it one or two planes?
One one? And it's valued at four hundred million, So
the president is waiting on two new Air Force ones.
The delay has been so great that this is supposed
(32:33):
to be a shortcut to that. But by the time
you take it completely apart, can you get that done
any quicker than the two that you're waiting on?
Speaker 14 (32:42):
Well, and then spend the money on it as well
to upgrade it. And then after all the upgrades, who
essentially gifted to the Trump Library at the end of
Donald Trump's presidency is the other question here, and it
really I think speaks most of all to these library
funds for all the ex presidents they're turning into these
second not a hand that have really gotten out of hand,
(33:03):
and that is something that might really be what's addressed
at the end here.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Have you ever been to a presidential library? I have not? Wait,
sorry jfk sorry jfk Oh you went and that that
one's got to be terrific. Yep. Is it in Boston?
It's there in Boston, yep. One. I got to do.
As much as I've made a life study of John F. Kennedy,
I got to do that. I want to do the Reagan.
Is it Reagan's that has an air Force one in it?
(33:28):
I believe so? Yeah? And then the Valley. But this
would be this would be a three hundred. I mean,
the library shouldn't cost that much. Let alone, haven't propped
and costs that much. That's one of the stranger stories
of the day.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
All R.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Rory great reporting is always. We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
