Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your

routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one to one
point one and ten sixty wk MQ, and how about
Talk six to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to
(00:21):
have you listen live, but are grateful you're here now
for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Enjoy 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 o'deill Chrum.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't think you're going to find too many people
disagree with this.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's been a pretty successful visit between the United States
and China. President Trump is headed back to the United
States after his summit with President g We have a
cryptocurrency regulation build that is clear to Key.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Hurdle, a CIA head.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Who is taking a trip to Havana to talk to CBA.
That is crumbling power grid, collapsing out of oil, on
the verge of economic collapse. The CIA chief had a
clear message from the President who was busy in China.
They believe the president's message was it's time to engage
in serious economic and security talks. And I think they're
(01:19):
in a pretty serious situation. Britness is tomorrow there'll be
no Triple Crown and the Abs and the Golden Knights.
We'll meet the NHL Western Conference Finals ducks got eliminated
last night. All right, World Cup tickets? World Cup ticket
prices are so expensive?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
How are they?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
An airline is telling customers that it might be cheaper
to go to the country.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Than to see the game.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, I can say the same is true for Morgan
wall and concert tickets. But Murray O'Neil, our national correspondent,
is here, just.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
How high are the World Cup prices?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, believe it or not, they're actually starting to come
down because maybe the interest isn't there.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Still.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Air Transa is taking advantage of some of these really
high prices by putting up a billboard that says you
can watch Portugal for three thousand, eight hundred and seventy
dollars a ticket, or you can see Portugal for a
seven ninety nine round trip.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
So pretty smart ad campaign.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
As a lot of people are getting sticker shocked looking
at the prices. For instance, the opening match for the
US June twelfth in Los Angeles. It's not sold out yet,
but the cheapest ticket option is above one thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, you know. Now a family of four doing that?
Holy cow. You can send them to college or you know,
to some other country. I'm afraid to ask what a
coch or a beer cost. Well, and then the parking
is like two hundred bucks. And then a lot of places,
like New York, you have to take mass transits, so
you have to take a bus, or you have to
take the train from New York down to New Jersey.
(02:50):
The train tickets are one hundred and eighty or one
hundred and five dollars just to take the train to
the game.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I had this conversation with my brother when he was
in town. I can't concerts are getting really ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You know why, I know why? I know why. Oh,
I mean I think I hear too, But yeah, go ahead.
My theory.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
My theory is because old people like you and I
are going seriously well, there are concerts were attended by
teenagers who don't have any money.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
But now that every time you go to these concerts.
It's like an AARP convention. You're like, where are all
these old people coming from? So I think, and we
have the money to buy those crazy ticket prices.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, it was a By the time you get an airbnb,
because they've jacked up all the hotel prices and you
would need two or three rooms, it would have been
almost two grand in hotel rooms. And that's in Indianapolis
to go see Morgan Wallen in concert. But by the
time you do the airbnb, gasoline what it is, and
then the tickets and then the two and from uh,
you know, it becomes multiple thousands of dollars. And I
(03:53):
don't know, never forget when the Health Freezes Over tour
began with the Eagles, we had tickets at the American
Airlines Center in Dallas, and what we paid for them,
and then what they were worth leading up to the show.
You know, we sat there knowing we could have sold
these tickets for three grand each. Only the Eagles and
they were all alive then could have lived up to
(04:15):
six grand. But you know, when I think of what
they're charging for soft drinks, parking, and ticket prices for NFL, NHL,
Major League Baseball, you just can't beat the television experience.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's just not worth it to me anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And of course I'm not a huge soccer fan, so
that would definitely not be fair for me to comment on.
But i can tell you I'm a huge NFL fan.
I'm a huge Major League Baseball fan. I'm a huge
NBA fan, a huge NHL fan, and I'm telling you
can't beat.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
The television experience.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I'd rather have MLB network all year long than one
minor league baseball game.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Sorry, just getting got drum lines.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Hey, look, I put two ribbis down that they wanted
sixty dollars for yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I can put down that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So obviously, if you want to have a World Cup experience,
you can expect a World Cup price.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Right well right, Although again it looks like ticket demand
is soft. Maybe they priced them a bit too high,
but by some accounts they're trickling down a little bit. Still,
the cheapest in the gate I think is like two
fifty ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Now, are they having the same issue with third party
sales like we have with our professional sports concerts.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah? Yeah, it depends on the game, but.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
A lot of it is they're trying this release program
like this, So they're doing the ticket release in batches
to try to tackle to try to tackle this, but
you know this is an American phenomena.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
All right, Rory's gonna be back in the third hour.
We'll talk more about the China talks and what was
accomplished for everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
That was just complete letel yes, all right, all eyes.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Of course they're on the Chinese summit. The President sat
down before leaving China with Box News as Sean Hannity
discuss exactly what was accomplished during these meetings.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Disgusted.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I mean when you say support, they're not fighting a
war with us or anything. No, he said, he's not
going to give military equipment. That's a big statement. He
said that today. That's a big statement. Said that strongly.
But at the same time, he said, you know, they
buy a lot of their oil there, and I'd like
to keep doing that. He'd like to see Hormost straight opened.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I said, well, we didn't stop it.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
They did it, and then we stopped them.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Sort of interesting, he joked. He said, you know, it's
sort of they stopped it, then you stopped them, but
they'd like to see it opened, but they actually closed it.
He didn't like the fact that they're charging tolls. I
don't know if they are not, I don't know who
would pay them. I mean, that way do they put
the money to the country's decimented.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
You know that charging tolls is the money going.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So the President kind of going over with Sean Hannity
the uncomfortable conversation of Iran. Iran is a proxy of
Russia and China. So we talked about this in the
first hour. Wars rarely end where they begin, and with
the same players they begin with a It's extraordinary what
(07:13):
the president has done at the border. It's extraordinary what
he did in Venezuela and removing Maduro. It's extraordinary what's
unfolding in Cuba.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But it is.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Extra extraordinary what he has done in reshaping the entire
Middle East without escalating things with Russia and China. But
you can't expect China, you know, as the President just outlined,
you know, we'd like to keep buying oil from them.
We have to have some kind of a relationship with them.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
But that's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
The commitment to not sell any military equipment, the desire
to see Iran never become a nuclear country, and to
get the straight reopened. There is no commitment for China
to get on the water and help reopen the strait
that I can assure you a little bit about the
(08:12):
Chinese leader.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I think he's a.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
Warm person actually, but he's all business. He's said, you know,
there's no games, there's no talking about how nice the
weather is. Oh, let's look at the stars, let's look
at the sun.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
You know.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Now, he's all he's all business.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And that's I like that. I mean, that's a good thing.
No games.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
I say it about him, and I could say it
about some not as complementary, frankly for the most part.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But I say about him that.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
If you went to Hollywood and you looked for a
leader of China to play a role in a movie,
Central Casting's Central casting, you wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You couldn't find a guy like him.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Even his physical features. You know, he's tall, very tall,
and especially for this country because they tend to be
a little bit shorter. You look at the military, I mean,
the military today was incredible. That military marching was incredible.
But no, if you went to Hollywood, you wouldn't find that.
You're not going to find a guy to play the role.
He's good, and he said, you know, I mean, I'll
(09:14):
get criticized. They always criticize me when I say good
things about certain leaders.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And this one.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
But he's a leader for China. He's led almost one
point five billion people for a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So the President's just kind of making, you know, the acknowledgement.
This has been pretty persistent and consistent. The President doesn't
mind somebody prioritizing their interests or fighting for their country
or their people, or being all business for that matter.
He actually respects it because then you can begin to negotiate.
(09:55):
That's what we said about this trip, and we have
a follow up coming in September. Here at a min America,
two people with completely different interests, completely different worldviews, adversarial
in many cases, but both treating each other with respect
and both finding areas of common ground. If it's ten
(10:19):
billion dollars in buying egg purchases or two hundred Boeing planes,
at least agree with us that these these crazy people
can't have nuclear weapons. And we've got to get the
straight open and build from there. President was very respectful,
(10:42):
high remarks about the President also wrapping up.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
The big Boeing deal. A lot of things we talked about.
We talked about a lot of things. Too many things
to discuss, but a lot of things. We had a
very good meeting. But we want things from them. One
thing he agreed to today's going to order two hundred jets.
That's a big thing. Boeing owing two hundred big ones.
(11:10):
It's a lot of jobs. It's a lot Boeing one
at one hundred and fifty you got two hundred.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Uh, he said, sort of. I think it was a commitment.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
I mean, you know, it was sort of like a statement,
but I think it was a commitment.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We'll see if it ends up being an actual purchase. Now,
a lot of you have asked questions about, all right,
well what did they get from us? And until we
get the definitive answers to that, a void is created,
A void that could be answered with, well, I sure
hope it isn't Taiwan, to which Marco Rubio, the Secretary
(11:44):
of State, sat down for an exclusive NBC interview, and
of course Taiwan came up. President She stressed to President
Trump that the Taiwan question is the most important issue
in China US relations talk to me about that moment.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
When that they certainly feel that way, and they always
raise that issue, and we understand they raise that issue.
From our perspective, any forced change in the status quo
and the situation that's there now would be bad for
both countries. One of the things that Chinese emphasize, which
we agree, is strategic stability in our relationship, a constructive relationship,
but also one that establishes strategic stability so that we
(12:20):
don't have misunderstandings that can lead to broader conflict. And
so we always reiterate the point. We hear them when
they say this. We always respond by saying anything that
would compel or force a change and what we have
now would be problematic and that we would certainly our
policies on that have not changed.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So we don't know exactly what China got out of
this whole meeting. We know it's not anything concerning Taiwan.
Just to kind of contrast, you know, we painted this
whole picture of reconstruction of the entire Middle East, securing
of a border, removal of the Venezuela Cuba problem within
our hemisphere. Ara no longer a nuclear threat, good respectful
(13:00):
relations with China. In spite of all the conflicts, these
are serious people doing serious things, fighting for the security
and the economic prosperity of America. Here's what could have been.
Kamala Harris also popped up while the President was in China.
(13:25):
She's not waging war with a run or economic war
with China. They're all about the war at home. Talk
about an unseerious person at a time where serious people
are doing serious work.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
But it's Kamala and it can be entertaining.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
So listen, hey, look, this is a moment where there
are no bad ideas, no bad idea brainstorm.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Is what I'd like to call it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
And in that no.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
Bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to
do and think about doing around the electoral College. We
talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes
expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi
members districts. We talk about, look that if we win
(14:15):
the Senate, which we should and we will, then the
Senate Judiciary Committee should have rules that they put in
place so when these people come before as nominees to
the Supreme Court and lie, that they are held to
account and consequence, not just that somebody goes on cable
news and says they lie, but that there are rules
(14:37):
in place to actually penalize people for lying to a
Senate Judiciary committee.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I think this video is an example of a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That's all they got, waging war for the d's, not
for the p's, the people, not for the a America.
It's whatever they have to do to deconstruct our republic
to preserve their power. God, I hope you're sick of that.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
You did it.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm waiting on the consequesces.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's the best way to get back on your pagers,
to get up.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Off your eye.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I've been living rent free in that guy's head for years,
and that's just a bull.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Do you call that chicken?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
A add They're just blowing off Steve, and that just
sounds the day for Friday made the fifteenth year of
Our Lord twenty twenty six. Everybody forgets things now and

This is your Morning show with Michael del Chrono, No No.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
No Sima. That is Simma that's too hung cut it, Simon,
are you watching Michael Jackson videos a game? I was
twenty eight minutes after the hour. The President is back
in the US, back in the USSA, or at least
on his way.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
The two leaders discuss the ongoing war in Iran, among
many other jop with China considered Iran's largest training partner.
Trump said she wants the Straight of Home moves open
as soon as possible, just like he does. Trump also
noted that he has invited President she to the White
House this September.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'm Mark Meafield.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Well, the head of the CIA has taken a trip
to Havana, Cuba. Cuba is out of gas, it's causing panic.
The power grid is collapsing, the economies on the verge
of collapsing, and the CIA director had a message from
President Trump to Cuba it's time to sit down and
have a serious conversation about security and economics. I suspect
(17:35):
they agree. It's the one hundred and fifty first Preak mistakes. Tomorrow,
that'll be about six fifty Eastern post time. No Golden tempo,
so no triple crown, and the ABS will be taking
on the Golden Knights in the Western Conference final Ducks
eliminated last night.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
That's Top five.
Speaker 1 (17:51):

Michael honored to serve you. Jeffrey's got the sound, Red's
got the content, President's coming home from China, and I
have this awkward, uncomfortable interview to do, like I'm supposed
to formally interview John Ford Coley, like I don't you know,
(18:50):
really know him and we're not friends. So I'm gonna
try the best I John, I want to do this
like a professional network interview, you know what.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
I want to make it like we're having breakfast together.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
No, I want to be I want to do the
cheesy professional style. Why can't I I haven't nerded out
over you in a long time.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I want to.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Now, Hey, you know what real quick?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
We are playing in the Symphony on the on the
twenty third this month. You gotta come, uh Ambrosia me
you got you gotta you gotta come.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know one of my I do. I want to
one of my greatest memories.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
My kids were young, and I can't remember where we
were you were playing, but I remember you were doing
Love is the Answer, and I had Anna. Anna was
probably two and a half three at tops and I'm
on stage with you, and I remember just the notion
of sitting on my shag carpeting in my bedroom listening
to that song alone versus dancing slowly with my daughter
(19:48):
and my arms two feet from you playing and singing,
And what a great moment of life that was. But yeah,
you'll be in Nashville, and by the way, for my
Detroit listeners. You're gonna be at Rooster Tail in July
on the eighteenth as well. John Ford Coley, England Dan
and john Ford Coley.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
The one that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Started at all was I'd really love to see you tonight,
and it's the fiftieth anniversary. You and England Dan have
not Dan Seals have not sung together since nineteen eighty,
but you're going to be reunited by video and when
the August twenty eighth Dan Seals and Friends, the last
two wet is released. This has probably got you going
down memory lane and that that's a lot of hurtful
(20:24):
feelings mixed in with a lot of great memories.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Right, absolutely, absolutely, there's so many great memories though, so
the hurtful was just kind of kind of fade off
into the sunset.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well, we lost Dan way too young boy. The string
of hits, that's the first thing to acknowledge. It all
started with I'd really love to see you tonight, but
gone too far. Love is the answer. We'll never have
to say goodbye again. Nights are forever without you. The
one I used to give you a hard time about
sad to belong to someone else when the right one
comes along. I mean, you guys spit them out in
(20:58):
a hurry, and they were big hits.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I mean more than the water. Yeah, you may have
had more than Dan's brother. I don't know. I had
a lot of hits in a short period of time.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
It was, it really was. We got so lucky. I mean,
the thing is is that I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Why people gravitated to it, but like alleges, it was great.
And then we got to tour everywhere play with everyone.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
It was a great time period.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, what was it like to want?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I mean, because you're you're a classically trained pianist and artist,
and then you know you loved the Grand Ole Opry.
And then tell us about the journey to La how
you ended up with Dan and and how much your
life changed so quickly.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Well, Dan and I started off in high school together.
So we played in a band.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
I played keyboards. Dan was a saxophone singer, and so
we just kind of developed things from there.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
We discovered by traveling in cars going to the gigs.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
That we would sing. We had a Nashville blend. Dan
would take the lead, I'd take the harmony, and so
we just kept developing in that and then about nineteen
sixty nine, we took off to LA for the first
time just to see what was out there, just to kind.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Of test the waters. Two years later we came back
with the deal at A and M. It just took off.
It was something seriously that I had no control over.
It was like it had a will of its own
and you couldn't stop it. And I remember when we
ended up going out with Elton John into Minneapolis and Milwaukee,
(22:38):
and they said, Okay, you're taking Dan Hickson the Hot
Licks place because they've jumped on the Johnny Carson.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Show, so you're going out with this guy named Elton John.
I went, great, Who the hell's Elton John. I didn't
know who these guys were. I just took off and
did it. We all became good friends and they literally
took us around the world.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The success speaks for itself. The first number one song,
I'd really love to see that fifty years ago. It's
the fiftieth anniversary of all the songs. I don't know
if I've even asked you this. You talk about how
your voice is blended. I'm going by memory as a fan,
not a friend, but it seems like love is the
(23:20):
answer might have been the one time you guys went
back and forth. And I would still challenge people to
tell who is who it's lost And it really comes
out when you do these concerts now, because you and
Dan sounded so blended that when you sing them alone,
they still work.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yeah, the thing about Dan, and that was a great
thing about coming back and doing really love to see
you tonight. You know, with Dan for the fiftieth year,
Dan was what I called pedantic. When he would sing,
he would always sing on the beat, so he was
the easiest person in the world to sing to.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
You could just lock right in on him.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
And when I sing a song, I had to sing
the harmony.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Because Dan wasn't a harmony singer, and I'm very syncopated, right,
it was. It was quite a quite a trip getting
those things to work together.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
John fort Coley on the fiftieth anniversary, I I'd really
love to see you tonight, all right, So walk me
through the emotions of doing singing with your old partner
again knowing he's gone.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I mean that that has to be surreal.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Well, when they asked me to do it, I said,
you mean Dan and I you want me to sing
to Dan?
Speaker 11 (24:31):
On this thing.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
They said, yeah, are you kidding? Hit, Yeah, don't do
this thing. So, I mean I had.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
It was like it was emotional, and I'm you know,
I'm mostly Irish, and so we cried card games and
that's exactly what I did.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
I mean, I was I was telling somebody the other night.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I actually got emotional on camera. But I played on
the cruise and so Peter Asher from from.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Peter and Gorgon and asked me to come over and
sing on his set. So I went over and I
did it. And then when I jumped off, they said,
you want to sing words that love too, and I said, yeah,
tell me how. I goes quickly, so he sang the
first person. I went, I don't know what I know it.
So I jumped up on stage with Susan Calcil and Susan.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
And I go back a long way. So we're singing
this song and I all of a sudden drifted off
and I'm thinking about Dan and I traveling, going to
the gigs, singing.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Peter and Gordon's song, singing.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
This song, and I went, oh my god, because people
come up to me all the time and say this
song made me feel this, and it did that and
my boyfriend the prom, and they just go on and on.
I never had any of those experiences until that night.
And when I got it, I mean it was emotional,
It really was.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
You.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
I got to see what other people's memories.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Were like sure, and you just never know when the
grief monster is going to arrive. Well, what do you
remember most about Dan? Or what did we miss that
you got or love most about him?
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Or Dan and I had a very unique relationship. First
of all, we didn't fight. I hate to fight, Dan
hated to fight. We were both very solution oriented, so
it was like, let's not you know, let's just pretend
that we've already argued about this for two hours and
I want, okay, let's go eat.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
That's exactly where Dan and I work. We're not going
to stand here and fit about this. Let's solve this
summer now. And we did, and it was It caused
our relationship to be very very strong.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I don't think i'd be honest if I said, I
really love to see you tonight isn't my favorite. I
think it's everybody's. We heard that intro and we're all
transported in time. I can't imagine, you know, I had
this conversation with Walter Egan, who happened to be my
kid substitute teacher that's growing up in Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Were you and I said, you know, magic play with Walter.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Oh, he's just a wonder for man, just a wonderful
So we're doing an interview and I was joking with
I said, you know, I mean, Magnet and Steel is
like one of the biggest hits of my childhood. How
come you couldn't write another? And he goes, well, if
I had the answer to that, I would have. But
you know, and maybe the answer is Stevie Nicks wrote it.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But when you guys were cutting these, like the minute
you finished, I really love to see it tonight or
nights are forever without you are sad to belong or
never have to say goodbye. Do you know their hits
the minute they're done? I mean you've got to write.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
No, I didn't know it. I know what I like.
I don't know what to hit, but I know what
I like and most of the things are not. Yes,
that's the funny part about it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
And did you ever dream fifty years later they'd still
be loving it. If I didn't tapped you on the show,
I said, job, fifty years from now, this is.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Going to be a head.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
I hope I'm around to see it, you know. I'm
sorry Danny isn't around to see this one. But yeah,
it's something you really can't put a I really can't
describe it. I mean to know that something's going to
be like that and it's going.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
To change your life. I mean, jeez, what do you
do well?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's the power of music right though. It lives, It's
been living. It's been living all while Dan's been gone.
It's going to live long after you and I are gone.
What you two achieve together is really the byproduct of
a really healthy partnership blend of God gifts and talents
and friendship and those things last forever.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
John. You know that you'll be in.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Duluth, Minnesota, Rochester, Minnesota, Downey, California, Louisville, Kentucky, Redlands, California,
Nashville here towards the end of June July, you'll be
coming to one of my great cities or around the
superstation in Detroit, Michigan. You'll be at Rooster Tail and
coming out on August twenty eighth. They're going to take
you now with Dan then and put it together in
(29:02):
a fiftieth anniversary celebration of I'd really love to see
you tonight, you and Dan Seals and Dan Seals and Friends,
the last duet that's going to be very much worth
looking forward to. And I hope I'm at the concert
on the twenty third here with the symphony. That's gonna
be true to John for I wanted to do this
professional now. See I think they get a sense that
(29:22):
we know each other.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Yeah, I think so a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
I love you, my friend. I'm so glad you were born.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I'm so glad that you and Dan were friends, found
each other, wrote these magical songs that were the soundtrack
of all of our lives.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And I can't believe it's been fifty years.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
I am too. I can't tell you how lucky and
blessed for you.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So local radio in Nashville, this is right after I
got here. I remember, I mean another great friend. I
made some comments about Amy Grant forgetting a live in Nashville,
and Amy Grant's manager was on the phone, and then
Chaz and I went on to become very dear friends.
I've become great friends with Gary Chapman, and I've met
(30:02):
Amy on several occasions. But on Facebook, I had done
a post and one of the comments was from a
John Ford Coley. Now, how many john Ford Coley's can
there be? So naturally my response was, is this John
Ford Coley from England?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Dan and John for it?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, listen, every day I love you, like are you
kidding me?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You love me?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I mean I think of I remember where I was
and the moment I first heard Mandy. My mom had
run into the A and p it was cold, it
was wet, it was in Arlington Heights, and that intro
came on WLS. You never really hear Mandy for the
first time, because that's a hit the first time you
(30:43):
hear it. I have a lot of great memories in
my bedroom with England, Dan and John Porcoley, listening to
record after record and song after song. But when it
comes to I'd really love to see it tonight fifty
years ago at Camp Pastings at our little dance, that
was the song that I danced with donal Russo too
and slow dancing and swaying in a couple of others.
(31:06):
These are songs that just signature the minute you hear
the intro. Nothing needs to be said, does it? And
I can't believe it's been fifty years and yet been
a why not much, John fort Coley, he'll reunite with
England Dan even posts at for one more duet. I'd
(31:30):
really love to see it and I'd always great to
visit with John fort Coley. All right, it is forty
eight minutes after the hour when we come back. Not one,
not two, not three, but your top five stories of
the day are coming up. Here's something you should be
very concerned about. Every American listening to the sound of
my voice right now that believes in due process, you
should be concerned. Federal agencies are supposed to get a
(31:53):
subpoena to access any of your personal information.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Now. To get that.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Subpoena, it takes a judge, which also takes probable cause
proven to that judge to meet the standards of a
constitution set by our founders to protect you. But you
know what some agencies are doing instead, they're just buying it,
and they're buying it from data brokers. They buy your
(32:18):
home address, your daily routine, your family members' names, your finances,
all legally purchased, no warrant, no judge, no due process,
no constitution. And that's why I'm more than just a
spokesperson for her Incognate. I depend on Incognate to protect
me and my family. They send legal removal requests to
(32:38):
hundreds and hundreds of data broker companies you would never
find the time to do, and they keep sending them
because they're always trying to relist you. They removed my
information from five hundred and thirty eight data broker sites
in the first forty eight hours. That means a lot
less spam, a lot less scams, but a lot less classification.
(33:02):
You don't know every day how many times you go
get a room and it's not available to you because
they've been tracking your past cancelations or your insurance rates
that are impacted by information they gather, package and sell. Well,
they can't spam you, they can't scam you, they can't
classify you. If they can't find you, it's time to disappear.

It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Go ahead and pass the syrup my way. I'm feeling
a little naughty.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Fifty four minutes after the hour on the airstreaming live
on your iHeart app. This is your morning show. Honor
to serve you on Michael Del Jorno if you're just
waking up. Presidents Trump says Chinese President Chiji Ping told
him China isn't helping Iran with weapons any longer.
Speaker 11 (34:06):
Trump spoke with Fox News Sean Hannity after his Buy
and Lateral summit.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
He said he's not going to give the military equipment.
That's a big savement. He said that today, that's a
big savement. Said that strongly, but at the same time,
he said, you know, they buy a lt of they're
oill there and he'd like to keep doing that. He'd
like to see our most straight.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
Opened president Trump says she wants to see a US
Iran deal and offered his help if needed.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
On the economic front.
Speaker 11 (34:28):
Trump said she agreed to buy two hundred passenger jets
from Boeing. Frump summarize the meeting as very good. I'm
mart Neyfield.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Supreme Court is allowing abortion drugs to be sent to
women directly by mail after all.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Jim Roop reports.
Speaker 12 (34:41):
Thursday, the court extended a stay on an earlier ruling
by an appellate court that required women to get Miffi
pristol through in person visits as opposed to telehealth visits.
The ruling preserves the right to access the drug buy
mail as the case plays out in the lower court.
The case originated when the state of Louisiana sued the
FDA overm that allowed mail orders of the drug.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
The head of the CIA has taken a trip to Havana.
Cuba says it's run out of fuel and soon we'll
run out of money.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Tammy Trio has the very latest.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited alongside a US delegation Thursday,
a day after Cuba's energy minister told state media that
the country has run out of crude oil and diesel
and has no reserves, putting the national grid in a
critical state. Cuba gets most of its oil from Venezuela,
but the US has been blocking it's fuel shipment since
it invaded Venezuela in January. The shortage has reportedly triggered blackouts.
(35:35):
The US State Department says it will provide aid to
Cuba and exchange for it meaningful reforms. I'm Tammy Trieo.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Sould.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Music legend Clarence Carter has died. Carter has a long
string of R and B hits from the late sixties
all the way to the early eighties, one of which
Jeffrey played for me off the air earlier that I
found quite shocking. His biggest hit was the nineteen seventy
gold record Patches, which also tut was a top ten
on the pop charts. Carter, born blind, continued to record
(36:03):
albums all the way into his eighties. Rolling Stone says
Clarence Carter died Thursday, falling a battle of cancer.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
He was ninety years old.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well, today we celebrate a small food invention that pretty
much changed everything that's sweet.
Speaker 13 (36:16):
Today is National Chocolate Chip Day. A tiny morsel that
adds just the right amount of chocolated goodness with minimal
melt in the oven. And it's a relatively new invention.
Ruth Wakefield of the Toll House in Yes, that Toll House,
created them back in nineteen thirty eight for her famous cookies.
They're perfect and versatile, good and pancakes, cookies, cakes, trail mix,
(36:37):
ice cream, muffins or just by the handful. Yeah, they
go with everything. I'm Bree Tennis.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
