Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast starting
(00:24):
your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is your morning show with Michael gil Charnan seven
minutes half of the hour and welcome to Friday, May
the sixteenth. You have our old twenty twenty five on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio AF. This
is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno, Honored to
serve you. Jeffrey's got control of the music and the
sound read keeping an eye on the content. We're going
(00:54):
to get more into the hot water. The former FBI
director James Comy has found himself with a social media
post that seems to be calling for the assassination of
the president. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio says, if we're gonna get
anywhere with Russia, Trump's going to have to sit down
with Putin to get these talks to move forward. There
will be no triple crown, but the second jewel is
on tomorrow. The Preakness minus sovereignty leaves me like in
(01:18):
the class of the rage journalism. But look out for
mister send men sooner or later. I'll be right and
the Nuggets forced to Game seven in Oklahoma City on Sunday. Well,
the official hurricane season. I did not realize. Roy O'Neal,
our national correspondent, is here and he's covered several hurricanes
in his life. I've actually lived them as well growing
(01:40):
up in Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I didn't realize it starts in two weeks June first.
I do first believe June first time. But yeah, it's
a binary state. You're either in a hurricane season and
you're not, because it's six months out of the year
and it starts on June first. So this report, I
think CNN first broken. Others have later confirmed there was
an internal messaging saying that the FEMA may not be
(02:06):
ready for hurricane season because the agency is at a
tough spot right now. The current administration and Secretary Nome
essentially want to dissolve FEMA, but at the same time
they're trying to get ready for hurricane season. So it's
in a weird state right now. Yeah, you want me
to do the tough wording.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The tough wording is that FEMA really dropped the ball
in a previous hurricane season, and then in a political
with the political lightning rod comes the story that maybe
a couple of bad officials may have or may not
have not come to the rescue for some with Trump signs.
But you can't turn this into politics. You know, storms
(02:46):
happen and we have to have response. Now if there's problems,
that FEMA fix it. But there's got to be that
federal assistance. Although worry I can tell you having lived
through them, and then we had, of course the Great
flood here in twenty ten, they're just not that I mean,
they were walking around the halls, but they just really
(03:07):
weren't where the relief was at. So I don't know,
but obviously, like our air traffic control system, you can't
just ignore it. Somebody's got to get in there and
fix it. Well, right.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's also I think people misunderstand what FEMA does. I mean,
I think they'll they have this vision that FEMA's got
that warehouse with thirty thousand bulldozers in it, right and
a crew of one hundred and fifty thousand tree trimmers
on standby.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Like, that's not how FEMA works.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
And really they push money around for the most part,
and they help with planning because you know, one of
the real issues is if you get hit by some
ten billion dollar disaster in your state, God forbid, your
state cannot go into debt to help pay for the
for that recovery. So FEMA could come in write the
check with Uncle Sam and they'll take on the debt essentially,
(03:51):
and then they'll pay Mike's local tree service in order
to clear up the road. So, you know, I think
there's a well I'm not going to say FEMA's gones
gets everything right, No, I think there's also a great
misunderstanding of exactly what they do.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah. No, they're to coordinate the federal funds or you know,
to do the job that states can't do for themselves.
I was just thinking that this is the ad D
in me, Rory, But you're you are my resident, know
it all. Most of you get a hurricane in August,
it's probably going to smack the snot out of you.
If it hits you, they get more and more intense.
Have we ever had a really dangerous hurricane in June?
(04:29):
Late July? August is usually where the bad ones are,
sometimes early September, right.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Right, And it's largely based on the warmer you know,
the warmer the water, right, it tends to build up
the storm more quickly. You know a friend of mine
who does this for a living. He could tell he
can tell you every name, every date, every storm, every letter.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I get them all. They all blend together for me.
But of course Katrina was late August Camille. But I see,
you know.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Hurricane you know, Hurricane Andrew, one of the worst storms
to ever hit just went south of Miami. I mean
that hit in August. That was Hurricane Andrew A. So
that was the first storm of the season. And I
don't realized that, you know, I was flying in there.
I was at us there. I actually heard the plane grunt.
It tried to I was landing in Orlando and it
flew through it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's no matter what. Oh that was off. I was
wedged between two obese guys and I was trying not
to touch them the whole flight. But when it got
really bad, I just released it and let them. I
let them just hold me like a shock exorber. Oh
the great hurricane memories. Well, I was going to end
on the high note, which is they got a little
more than two weeks to get it together.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, and the new act again a FEMA says they can,
they can get.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It done and be ready for it all right. Walmart's
got warnings for us all and Rory has them for
you in our third hour Good Reporting. Ory, I was
talking earlier about sitting at Wrigley Field. I said at
a lot of things. I was at a Cubs game
one time. We'd have to google this red And I
don't even know if it would have been seventy five,
(06:03):
could have been as late as seventy six, I think,
I don't know. But we were up on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It was something like eighteen to three, and I remember
we looked at each other, we said, why don't we just,
you know, get home. And by that time we got
home in Arlington Heights and turned on the TV. Harry
(06:23):
was going crazy and actually that was Brickhouse then, and
I think the Pirates came back and won like twenty
three to twenty two or something crazy like that. I mean,
I've seen some crazy things at Wrigleyfield, but I was
there the day Mike Schmid hit four home runs against
the Cubs, and we used that as an analogy earlier.
If you're the Democrats and the president has such a
(06:45):
successful foreign policy trip as he's had as a sales mission,
as a foreign policy mission, the strategic and tactical stature
of it, it just shut up. And the analogy I
used was, imagine sitting at Wrigley Field. I mean, you know,
and Mike Schmid, who's a Hall of Famer, one of
(07:07):
the greatest hitters ever, is hit four home runs. What
are you gonna do? Hackle them? You stink, Schmidt, you stink.
He hit four home runs, which is exactly what some
Democrats are doing well in our sounds of the day,
you'll hear Eric Swaalwell attempt to do that. And then
you can be like other members who are just you know,
either just shut up and say nothing, or like Jim
(07:30):
Hines of Connecticut, you basically just acknowledge. Listen, well here,
I'll let you hear what the way he says it.
But praising Donald Trump. But I got not in the
habit of praising Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But I gotta tell you, I the last week or
so in the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia is a different story.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The last week in the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I go into the week fearing that the Prime Minister
of Israel is hell bent on going to war with
her on. I go into the week worried that we're
gonna miss the thread of an opportunity in Syria for
the new leadership there.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I think the President has in this last week or
so played the Middle East pretty darn well.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean, that's how I mean. You this line between
being an opposition party and an obstruction party, especially when
you're you're on the side, you're against things that are good,
then you become against the good of the country and
against the majority of the American people. You just shut up,
or you handle it the way Representative Heinz did.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
So.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Anyway, I'm going through all that analogy, and then Red
reminds me of one time we were at Fenway Park
I guess the Royals were in town, and he sat
and watched Freddy Potek at three home runs against the
Red Sox, and you saw that in person, Freddie Pottek.
I remembered him at five six. He turns out he
was five to five and had one of the greatest nicknames,
(08:54):
My dad. I'll never forget. We went to Bachiss, Syracuse,
and we were sitting at Avacoli's, this Italian bar and
pizza joint, and my dad sitting around the table with
all his friends from Little League. But they're all eighty
plus now, and the realization, first and foremost is that
we don't change. You're that same little voice in your
(09:17):
head that you've been all your life, like you're on
some kind of ride that you're either in control or
just drifting through. And I'm watching these eighty year old
men argue about Little League games from nineteen fifty four.
It was hilarious. Oh I struck you out, Bobby. You
(09:39):
didn't strike me out. You had a rag arm And
they're finely, just just like I mean, back in time.
And I remember sitting there thinking, Wow, A, we don't change.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And b.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
They brought up one guy and his name was Mickey.
They just in passing. I was the game. Mickey the
Flea had the winning hit, and I thought, wait, stop,
Mickey the Flee. You see, this is something that's been
lost generationally now. In my generation, we were all nicknames.
I still go around giving people nicknames because I can't
remember names. Tommy Tuesday was my lawn guy. Why was
(10:22):
he Tommy Tuesday? He mote on Tuesday, Tommy Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
But I.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Do remember his name though, Idavaya. But they you know,
we used to have nicknames for everybody. And I thought,
Mickey the Flea. That's the greatest nickname for a small person.
I've ever heard. Mickey the Flea. And I said, Dad,
I want to meet Mickey the Flea. And apparently Mickey
had passed. But I didn't know this till today. And
looking up his height because I thought it was five six,
(10:49):
Freddy Pottek was five foot five. This guy was like
a jockey. He looked like he was in Little League.
He was great, though, what a great golden glover too,
Little Freddie Pottek And guess what his nickname was? The Flea.
Freddy the Flee ruined your day that Fenway Park with
(11:09):
three home run at least Mike was Mike Schmidt. I
mean I was expecting that with the wind blowing up anyway,
Why aren't most of our fun conversations not about the
news today? Is that okay? I mean it's Friday. I
mean it is It's Friday. We acknowledged earlier. I got
to tell you the camels. I thought that was beautiful
when the present limousine is loaded and then a parade.
(11:30):
I mean, how many camels do you think that was?
That's about at least forty on each side, right, so
it had to be about eighty camels. These guys are
all in their white sheet whatever that garb is on
these camels and camels flow really nicely, so he gets
a camel parade. When he arrives, they got the Army
(11:51):
of the Sword people doing all the I mean they're
treating Trump like a king. Then he goes same thing
and cut her same thing. When we get to the
United Arab Emirates, what was that with a hallway? Can
you imagine Bill Clinton would have never made it to
the end of that hallway? Can you imagine Bill Clinton
being greeted by that had to be over three hundred gorgeous,
(12:12):
long haired United Arab Emirates women models, and they were
doing this hair dance thing, just like waving their hair
at the president as they walked by. And only Donald
Trump would be noticing the beautiful architecture of the gold,
the marble, no court see it. He's got millennia and
in the end, five trillion dollars of business for the
(12:33):
United States. It's a major home run for the president.
Where are the Democrats? They're at home wondering, Hey, what
all is he giving up while he's there? Should we
impeach him or not? Or call me and his shells
in the sand spelling eighty six forty seven. People just
don't know when to shut up anymore when you're losing.
(12:54):

This is Philip on Space Coast in Melbourne, Florida, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Giorno.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
He is the one spasm boll Hi. It's me Michael.
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven in Washington, DC, and
five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or take us
(15:01):
along on the drive to work. But as we always say,
better late than never. Enjoy the podcast. If the thunder
loose on Sunday, I'm going to take off Monday and Tuesday,
I'll be in no condition to perform. She's gonna get smoke.
He's got too stopped. I really don't know what he
said at the end of this sentence. I'm watch over here.
We'll watch your workday. Nervous is a money. It's got
(15:21):
to be a big bits understanding.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I'm going in time Forday.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Like I love your garbage truck. No garbage trucks in
the Middle East. Just waving hair camels. Welcome to Friday,
May the sixteenth, twenty twenty five, thirty six minutes after
the hour, These are your sounds of the day, starting
with the FBI director seriously the man has had two
(15:46):
assassination attempts. You're a former FBI director and you think
it's funny to post a picture of shells that spell
out eighty six forty seven. That's number one. Number two.
(16:08):
The President's in the Middle East, safe and secure and celebrated,
and he has a death threat at home and it's
from a former FBI director. I mean, the only thing
(16:28):
let me stress this by saying it twice dramatically, the
only thing left shocking in life is the truth. And
for the left that loves to make the case, no
one's above the law. Let's see if the former FBI
director is above the law. Telsea Gabbard thinks he's not.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
No, whatever his intent, I will tell you that there
is a guy in Georgia who is issuing frets on
my life about a month ago, and he's in jail today.
He has been indicted with a crime as he should
have been, and he is in.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Jail as we speak.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
So whatever James Comy intent, he and people like him
need to be held to account according to the law,
which is something that he claims to have given his
life for and stands by the rule of law. Fantastic,
The rule of law says people like him who issued
direct threats against the President of the United States, essentially
issuing a call to assassinate him, must be held accountable
(17:29):
under the law.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, and his big defense is, welly, I know in
eighty six had that implication and you were the FBI director.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
This is.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I don't know what the Democrats are up to, but
they're up to something. They know they carried out one
of the greatest hoaxes in political history, the Joe Biden presidency,
and they know everybody knows it. They know they're in
a civil war in their party with the socialist far
left element and that AOC like Bernie Sanders three times
(18:04):
before could be the leading vote getter and for the
nomination for President of the United States. And now they
got a vice chairman of the DNC can't who's there
to keep them from stopping it. So they've got that
whole battle going on. Then they can't seem to walk
this line between being an opposing party and obstructionists. So
(18:27):
now here comes this parade all of a sudden of Okay,
we got to clear up this mess that we covered
up a fake presidency, and we need to do it
early before the midterms in three years before the presidential election,
you know, so everybody can move on now. Caught in
the middle as it's happening, are people like Chucky Schumer
(18:49):
and others. Oh, we're going to move on, and that
looks ridiculous. But here is on CNN Pete Buddhagi's former
communication advisor, Liz Smith. Watch this slip of the tongue.
Speaker 10 (19:09):
We resisted so hard between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
We impeached the.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
Guy like if, prosecuted him, convicted him of thirty four
felony accounts, and guess what, he still got elected. So
I don't know how much harder we can resist?
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Right now?
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Are you admitting that the case against Trump and New
York was part of the organized Democratic Party?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Resist?
Speaker 10 (19:28):
It was a Democratic prosecutor and at the time, okay,
at the time I said, I thought it was unwise.
I went on Fox News and said said this at
the time, there were a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Just to be clear, this wasn't.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Just to be clear, everybody who now touts the thirty
four felonies, take it from Liz, This was not a
real case. This was a plot to up end the presidential.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Campaign, which I just think it was a boneheaded moved
by Alvin.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I mean, wow, love Jake Tapper, you know this guy
would railroad anybody who would suggest that the president had
any cognitive issues. Now suddenly that he's wrote the book,
(20:12):
he's willing to come clean out a lot of things.
Should we hear this? And does he have any credibility
moving forward? Does have any credibility forward? How does this
become journalism when it's proof you haven't been journalism all along?
(20:33):
And why should I trust your motives now? All while
it was happening, Jake Tapper would have told you over
and over again, these allegations against Joe Biden and his
son are simply not true.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
Now Trump was right, I mean he did make a
fortune from China, and Joe Biden was wrong. Four million
in income in twenty seventeen and two point two million
in income in twenty eighteen, most of which came from
Chinese or Ukrainian interests. And this directly goes against what
Joe Biden said in the debate in twenty twenty with
(21:09):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Pickolas, I mean just five million dollars, that's all. So
how does you know how do they get away with
You know, now, Jake Tapper, he's a jolly good fellow
for telling you all this stuff. Why can't he tell
us in real time? Oh he's got an excuse for that.
(21:33):
So the big bombshell DuJour today is that the handlers about,
you know, whoever the real president was, whoever the whoever
was behind the auto sign. I believe it was John Podesta.
I don't know that we'll ever be able to prove it.
Probably the people behind the shadow campaign were the people
that were the fake president. Apparently they were keeping even
(21:56):
members of the cabinet isolated from the president in order
to give plausible deniability or to keep them from recognizing
the president is not really running the country. Takes more
than happy to break that story and then tell you
why he didn't tell you the truth all while it
(22:16):
was happening.
Speaker 13 (22:17):
And I'm just curious as to whether or not this
kind of trying to hide what was happening with the
president at the time had an impact on the press corps,
like why didn't we hear some of these details from
what they actually saw? And we're dealing with trying to
get information.
Speaker 14 (22:36):
Well, Alex Thompson and I were on the case, as
were lots of other reporters trying to figure out what
was going on behind the scenes. But bottom line is
the White House was lying not only to the press,
not only to the public, but they were lying to
members of their own cabinet, as you white House staffers.
They were lying to Democratic members of Congress, to donors
(22:58):
about how bad things had gotten. And in fact, Alex
and I started writing this book after the election of
twenty twenty four, and we spoke with more than two
hundred people, most of whom, almost all of whom were Democrats,
and almost all of whom wouldn't be honest with us
or wouldn't be candid with us until after the election.
And then after the election we found out all of
(23:20):
these things that when you looked at what was going
on with President Biden at the time, it probably doesn't
surprise you the extent to which he was deteriorating. But
now we have anecdotes and facts about what was really
going on behind the scenes, with details that Democrats wouldn't
share with us.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So journalism is dead. MSNBCCNNABCNBCCBS, mainstream legacy, whatever you want
to call the media has always been the Democrat Party megaphone.
They've always controlled the narrative. They used to be able
to silence any opposition thought through social media, but then
Elon must took care of that. They're all left holding
(24:01):
the bag. Now where do they go from here?
Speaker 15 (24:08):
In many ways, I think this Biden book is only
going to not just undermine Biden, but I think make
it toxic for anybody that worked for Biden, because then
it becomes where were you? How did you participate in
the cover up? Pete Bootage? This may mean something for you.
You know you were a cabinet secretary. You're going to
now tell us, yeah, I didn't have much interaction with them. Well,
(24:28):
then why didn't you say something? I had a cabinet
secretary tell me that they had no interaction with him
and wondered about that. I had that off the record.
I've after Biden quit, I shared it with people. I'm
still not going to share who the cabinet secretary was,
because that's not my I'm trying. You know, I believe
in keeping your word as a journalist, and it was
an off the record as far as being told to me,
(24:51):
and I think it's up to that person to decide
whether to speak out or not. But I think it's
a question anybody who worked directly for Biden. So Gina Ramondo,
she thinks about running for president, Pete Boudagid, all of
these cabinet secretaries are now going to have to answer
for all of this.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Boy, does this play right into the hands of the
big civil war within the party? I mean advantat JOC
and the Socialist Justice Democrats. But isn't it fun to
watch knowing that legacy media played such a role in
this cover up? Try to throw the politicians under the
bus but come out unscathed, like Michigan's governor. Here's Governor Whitmer.
(25:35):
Let's see, is she going to pull a Chucky Schumer
or Haakim Jeffries. We're moving on, We're not looking back,
like they've ever done that. With January sixth, Well, the
God gives us a little twist. She was just too
busy to notice.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
You were a co chair of the Biden Harris campaign.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
You stuck with Biden until he dropped out of the race.
Speaker 16 (25:55):
Given your position in the campaign, what signs of decline
did you notice?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
You know, I've not read the book. I can tell
you this that if as the book reports. Cabinet members said,
have access that tells you that you know, as a
governor in a state, you know halfway across the country,
who was working her tail off one hundred and sixty
stops on a bus tour that I head line through
(26:21):
swing states.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I didn't, you know. I was busy working.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I was busy doing the connection and the motor registration,
and so I was.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So bad, you know what. I was busy too, And
I could tell you with Senile. I'm of the impression
there were probably several small children whose first words were
s Nile, give me.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
People who majored in online activism with a minor and
puberty book at.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And that's yours of the day for this Friday. It's
your morning show with Michael del Churno. Here's that talkback
button on the iHeartRadio app. Your questions, your comments. I
believe Big John has his preakness pick prepared and ready
for those of you. Will it be journalism? Will it
be mister Sandman? Will it be clever again? Gosger? Who
(27:24):
might he have picked? Here's Big John at the Yms sportsbook.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Right here we go, Big John's preak. This picks for tomorrow.
You got a fast track. I love the one horse.
That's a Backford horse, fast horse. You gotta bet this
journalism the two horse, and look out for your Sandman.
It could show up. Give me a one two seven
exact the box nice.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The Bafford horse he speaks of is goal oriented, a
lot of speed, short breakness race. Gosger is a very
fast horse, but stepping up highly in class. For me,
journalism got such a bad ride. I don't think that
happens at the breakness. I think the class of the
race comes through. I do like journalism, I do like
(28:12):
goal oriented, and I do like Sandman. Let's see how
it all plays out. The breakness is tomorrow, no sovereignty
in the race. Therefore there will be no triple crowd.
If you are just waking up, these are your top
five stories of the day. Supreme Court seems poised to
hand President Trump a partial victory. Mark Mayfield will explain on.
Speaker 17 (28:35):
Thursday, the justices heard arguments in Trump's attempt to end
birthright citizenship. Court insiders say that while most of the
justices seemed opposed to ending it. The conservative majority seemed
inclined to hand the White House what it really wanted,
a legal remedy to reign in judges who've haunted Trump's
policies regarding immigration, DEI initiatives and cutting federal spending. Conservative
(28:56):
Justice Samuel Alito said, the problem is there are six
hundred and eighty district judges who have the disease of
thinking that I am right and I can do whatever
I want.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm Mark Meefield. American debt is shifting from credit cards
and cars to student loans after payments resumed Lisa Cardon reports.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
According to the latest quarterly report from the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, household debt rose by one hundred
and sixty seven billion dollars to eighteen point two trillion
in the first quarter, a jump believed to be driven
by mortgage debt. Data also found credit card balances dropped
by twenty nine billion dollars and auto loan debt fell
by thirteen billion from the previous quarter. However, student loan
(29:36):
balances hit a record one point sixty three trillion, and
now that past two loans are showing on credit reports
for the first time in five years, delinquencies are spiking.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I'm Lisa Cartin Well. The Trump administration reportedly is planning
to stop recommending routine COVID shots for children and pregnant women.
Children I always question, Tammy Trihilo has More.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Wall Street Journal says the Department of Health and Human
Services is expected to remove the CDC recommendations when it
launches new guidelines for approving vaccines. An announcement is expected
in the next few days. The CDC currently recommends that
everyone six months in older received coed vaccines, including pregnant women.
The AHS hasn't common and yet on the report, I'm
(30:21):
Tammi trhio Well.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Diddy isn't the only entertainer potentially in trouble. Singer Smokey
Robinson is under criminal investigation in California after being accused
of sexually assaulting former housekeepers Jason Campadonia has More.
Speaker 18 (30:36):
A lawsuit filed earlier this month by four former employees
of Robinson says that the workers were assaulted for years.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department now says they're in
the early stages of an investigation. Robinson's wife, Francis, is
also named in the lawsuit, she's accused of creating a
hostile work environment. A lawyer for the singer calls the
allegations false and vile. I'm Jason Campadonia. Men, you say
(31:00):
we don't have a heart or twice.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
As likely to die from what is called broken heart
syndrome compared to women.
Speaker 17 (31:07):
New research out of the University of Arizona looked at
what's officially called Takosubo cardiomyopathy, a condition brought on by
extreme stress or emotional distress. It can lead to shortness
of breadth, heart palpitations, and other cardiovascular symptoms. After looking
over four years of data, researchers found the condition was
fatal for men eleven percent of the time, compared with
(31:28):
around five percent for women. The reasons for the discrepancy
art fully understood. Researchers suggested it might be related to
hormonal differences. I'm Mark Neyfield.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Speaking of new studies from psychology today. Social fitness is
just as important as physical fitness. Pre tennis with the
tails on why you need to hang out with your friends.
Speaker 16 (31:47):
The study is among the longest at eighty seven years,
where researchers at Harvard looked at happiness, and it turns
out it comes down to our relationship with others. The
study found if you have a social outlet with friends,
you're not only happier, you're healthier than people who work out.
Study says friends stamp out loneliness, reduce stress and anxiety,
(32:08):
improve mental health, and increase longevity. I'm free tenants not
for me.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I was hanging out with Scott Hamilton yesterday and he
beat me at golf. In sports, Thunder lost one nineteen
one oh seven. They forced a game seven in Oklahoma City.
On Sunday, Canes eliminated the Caps in the NHL in
five games. Jets won four nothing over the Stars. Dang Live,
but Dallas leads a series three games to two Birthdays today,
Janet Jackson is fifty nine, Actress Megan Fox thirty nine,
(32:34):
Tucker Carlson happy birthday, fifty six years old today, and
actor Pierce Brosden is seventy two. If it's your birthday,
Happy birthday, So glad you were born. Thanks for waking
up with your morning show. We're all in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael Ndheld Joano
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast starting
(00:24):
your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is your morning show with Michael gil Charnan seven
minutes half of the hour and welcome to Friday, May
the sixteenth. You have our old twenty twenty five on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio AF. This
is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno, Honored to
serve you. Jeffrey's got control of the music and the
sound read keeping an eye on the content. We're going
(00:54):
to get more into the hot water. The former FBI
director James Comy has found himself with a social media
post that seems to be calling for the assassination of
the president. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio says, if we're gonna get
anywhere with Russia, Trump's going to have to sit down
with Putin to get these talks to move forward. There
will be no triple crown, but the second jewel is
on tomorrow. The Preakness minus sovereignty leaves me like in
(01:18):
the class of the rage journalism. But look out for
mister send men sooner or later. I'll be right and
the Nuggets forced to Game seven in Oklahoma City on Sunday. Well,
the official hurricane season. I did not realize. Roy O'Neal,
our national correspondent, is here and he's covered several hurricanes
in his life. I've actually lived them as well growing
(01:40):
up in Louisiana.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I didn't realize it starts in two weeks June first.
I do first believe June first time. But yeah, it's
a binary state. You're either in a hurricane season and
you're not, because it's six months out of the year
and it starts on June first. So this report, I
think CNN first broken. Others have later confirmed there was
an internal messaging saying that the FEMA may not be
(02:06):
ready for hurricane season because the agency is at a
tough spot right now. The current administration and Secretary Nome
essentially want to dissolve FEMA, but at the same time
they're trying to get ready for hurricane season. So it's
in a weird state right now. Yeah, you want me
to do the tough wording.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The tough wording is that FEMA really dropped the ball
in a previous hurricane season, and then in a political
with the political lightning rod comes the story that maybe
a couple of bad officials may have or may not
have not come to the rescue for some with Trump signs.
But you can't turn this into politics. You know, storms
(02:46):
happen and we have to have response. Now if there's problems,
that FEMA fix it. But there's got to be that
federal assistance. Although worry I can tell you having lived
through them, and then we had, of course the Great
flood here in twenty ten, they're just not that I mean,
they were walking around the halls, but they just really
(03:07):
weren't where the relief was at. So I don't know,
but obviously, like our air traffic control system, you can't
just ignore it. Somebody's got to get in there and
fix it. Well, right.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's also I think people misunderstand what FEMA does. I mean,
I think they'll they have this vision that FEMA's got
that warehouse with thirty thousand bulldozers in it, right and
a crew of one hundred and fifty thousand tree trimmers
on standby.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Like, that's not how FEMA works.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
And really they push money around for the most part,
and they help with planning because you know, one of
the real issues is if you get hit by some
ten billion dollar disaster in your state, God forbid, your
state cannot go into debt to help pay for the
for that recovery. So FEMA could come in write the
check with Uncle Sam and they'll take on the debt essentially,
(03:51):
and then they'll pay Mike's local tree service in order
to clear up the road. So, you know, I think
there's a well I'm not going to say FEMA's gones
gets everything right, No, I think there's also a great
misunderstanding of exactly what they do.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah. No, they're to coordinate the federal funds or you know,
to do the job that states can't do for themselves.
I was just thinking that this is the ad D
in me, Rory, But you're you are my resident, know
it all. Most of you get a hurricane in August,
it's probably going to smack the snot out of you.
If it hits you, they get more and more intense.
Have we ever had a really dangerous hurricane in June?
(04:29):
Late July? August is usually where the bad ones are,
sometimes early September, right.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Right, And it's largely based on the warmer you know,
the warmer the water, right, it tends to build up
the storm more quickly. You know a friend of mine
who does this for a living. He could tell he
can tell you every name, every date, every storm, every letter.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I get them all. They all blend together for me.
But of course Katrina was late August Camille. But I see,
you know.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Hurricane you know, Hurricane Andrew, one of the worst storms
to ever hit just went south of Miami. I mean
that hit in August. That was Hurricane Andrew A. So
that was the first storm of the season. And I
don't realized that, you know, I was flying in there.
I was at us there. I actually heard the plane grunt.
It tried to I was landing in Orlando and it
flew through it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's no matter what. Oh that was off. I was
wedged between two obese guys and I was trying not
to touch them the whole flight. But when it got
really bad, I just released it and let them. I
let them just hold me like a shock exorber. Oh
the great hurricane memories. Well, I was going to end
on the high note, which is they got a little
more than two weeks to get it together.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, and the new act again a FEMA says they can,
they can get.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It done and be ready for it all right. Walmart's
got warnings for us all and Rory has them for
you in our third hour Good Reporting. Ory, I was
talking earlier about sitting at Wrigley Field. I said at
a lot of things. I was at a Cubs game
one time. We'd have to google this red And I
don't even know if it would have been seventy five,
(06:03):
could have been as late as seventy six, I think,
I don't know. But we were up on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It was something like eighteen to three, and I remember
we looked at each other, we said, why don't we just,
you know, get home. And by that time we got
home in Arlington Heights and turned on the TV. Harry
(06:23):
was going crazy and actually that was Brickhouse then, and
I think the Pirates came back and won like twenty
three to twenty two or something crazy like that. I mean,
I've seen some crazy things at Wrigleyfield, but I was
there the day Mike Schmid hit four home runs against
the Cubs, and we used that as an analogy earlier.
If you're the Democrats and the president has such a
(06:45):
successful foreign policy trip as he's had as a sales mission,
as a foreign policy mission, the strategic and tactical stature
of it, it just shut up. And the analogy I
used was, imagine sitting at Wrigley Field. I mean, you know,
and Mike Schmid, who's a Hall of Famer, one of
(07:07):
the greatest hitters ever, is hit four home runs. What
are you gonna do? Hackle them? You stink, Schmidt, you stink.
He hit four home runs, which is exactly what some
Democrats are doing well in our sounds of the day,
you'll hear Eric Swaalwell attempt to do that. And then
you can be like other members who are just you know,
either just shut up and say nothing, or like Jim
(07:30):
Hines of Connecticut, you basically just acknowledge. Listen, well here,
I'll let you hear what the way he says it.
But praising Donald Trump. But I got not in the
habit of praising Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But I gotta tell you, I the last week or
so in the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia is a different story.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The last week in the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I go into the week fearing that the Prime Minister
of Israel is hell bent on going to war with
her on. I go into the week worried that we're
gonna miss the thread of an opportunity in Syria for
the new leadership there.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I think the President has in this last week or
so played the Middle East pretty darn well.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean, that's how I mean. You this line between
being an opposition party and an obstruction party, especially when
you're you're on the side, you're against things that are good,
then you become against the good of the country and
against the majority of the American people. You just shut up,
or you handle it the way Representative Heinz did.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
So.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Anyway, I'm going through all that analogy, and then Red
reminds me of one time we were at Fenway Park
I guess the Royals were in town, and he sat
and watched Freddy Potek at three home runs against the
Red Sox, and you saw that in person, Freddie Pottek.
I remembered him at five six. He turns out he
was five to five and had one of the greatest nicknames,
(08:54):
My dad. I'll never forget. We went to Bachiss, Syracuse,
and we were sitting at Avacoli's, this Italian bar and
pizza joint, and my dad sitting around the table with
all his friends from Little League. But they're all eighty
plus now, and the realization, first and foremost is that
we don't change. You're that same little voice in your
(09:17):
head that you've been all your life, like you're on
some kind of ride that you're either in control or
just drifting through. And I'm watching these eighty year old
men argue about Little League games from nineteen fifty four.
It was hilarious. Oh I struck you out, Bobby. You
(09:39):
didn't strike me out. You had a rag arm And
they're finely, just just like I mean, back in time.
And I remember sitting there thinking, Wow, A, we don't change.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And b.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
They brought up one guy and his name was Mickey.
They just in passing. I was the game. Mickey the
Flea had the winning hit, and I thought, wait, stop,
Mickey the Flee. You see, this is something that's been
lost generationally now. In my generation, we were all nicknames.
I still go around giving people nicknames because I can't
remember names. Tommy Tuesday was my lawn guy. Why was
(10:22):
he Tommy Tuesday? He mote on Tuesday, Tommy Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
But I.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Do remember his name though, Idavaya. But they you know,
we used to have nicknames for everybody. And I thought,
Mickey the Flea. That's the greatest nickname for a small person.
I've ever heard. Mickey the Flea. And I said, Dad,
I want to meet Mickey the Flea. And apparently Mickey
had passed. But I didn't know this till today. And
looking up his height because I thought it was five six,
(10:49):
Freddy Pottek was five foot five. This guy was like
a jockey. He looked like he was in Little League.
He was great, though, what a great golden glover too,
Little Freddie Pottek And guess what his nickname was? The Flea.
Freddy the Flee ruined your day that Fenway Park with
(11:09):
three home run at least Mike was Mike Schmidt. I
mean I was expecting that with the wind blowing up anyway,
Why aren't most of our fun conversations not about the
news today? Is that okay? I mean it's Friday. I
mean it is It's Friday. We acknowledged earlier. I got
to tell you the camels. I thought that was beautiful
when the present limousine is loaded and then a parade.
(11:30):
I mean, how many camels do you think that was?
That's about at least forty on each side, right, so
it had to be about eighty camels. These guys are
all in their white sheet whatever that garb is on
these camels and camels flow really nicely, so he gets
a camel parade. When he arrives, they got the Army
(11:51):
of the Sword people doing all the I mean they're
treating Trump like a king. Then he goes same thing
and cut her same thing. When we get to the
United Arab Emirates, what was that with a hallway? Can
you imagine Bill Clinton would have never made it to
the end of that hallway? Can you imagine Bill Clinton
being greeted by that had to be over three hundred gorgeous,
(12:12):
long haired United Arab Emirates women models, and they were
doing this hair dance thing, just like waving their hair
at the president as they walked by. And only Donald
Trump would be noticing the beautiful architecture of the gold,
the marble, no court see it. He's got millennia and
in the end, five trillion dollars of business for the
(12:33):
United States. It's a major home run for the president.
Where are the Democrats? They're at home wondering, Hey, what
all is he giving up while he's there? Should we
impeach him or not? Or call me and his shells
in the sand spelling eighty six forty seven. People just
don't know when to shut up anymore when you're losing.
(12:54):
Shut up, all right. I've been getting a lot of
emails on this, so I'm going to make this crystal

This is Philip on Space Coast in Melbourne, Florida, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Giorno.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
He is the one spasm boll Hi. It's me Michael.
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven in Washington, DC, and
five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or take us
(15:01):
along on the drive to work. But as we always say,
better late than never. Enjoy the podcast. If the thunder
loose on Sunday, I'm going to take off Monday and Tuesday,
I'll be in no condition to perform. She's gonna get smoke.
He's got too stopped. I really don't know what he
said at the end of this sentence. I'm watch over here.
We'll watch your workday. Nervous is a money. It's got
(15:21):
to be a big bits understanding.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I'm going in time Forday.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Like I love your garbage truck. No garbage trucks in
the Middle East. Just waving hair camels. Welcome to Friday,
May the sixteenth, twenty twenty five, thirty six minutes after
the hour, These are your sounds of the day, starting
with the FBI director seriously the man has had two
(15:46):
assassination attempts. You're a former FBI director and you think
it's funny to post a picture of shells that spell
out eighty six forty seven. That's number one. Number two.
(16:08):
The President's in the Middle East, safe and secure and celebrated,
and he has a death threat at home and it's
from a former FBI director. I mean, the only thing
(16:28):
let me stress this by saying it twice dramatically, the
only thing left shocking in life is the truth. And
for the left that loves to make the case, no
one's above the law. Let's see if the former FBI
director is above the law. Telsea Gabbard thinks he's not.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
No, whatever his intent, I will tell you that there
is a guy in Georgia who is issuing frets on
my life about a month ago, and he's in jail today.
He has been indicted with a crime as he should
have been, and he is in.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Jail as we speak.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
So whatever James Comy intent, he and people like him
need to be held to account according to the law,
which is something that he claims to have given his
life for and stands by the rule of law. Fantastic,
The rule of law says people like him who issued
direct threats against the President of the United States, essentially
issuing a call to assassinate him, must be held accountable
(17:29):
under the law.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, and his big defense is, welly, I know in
eighty six had that implication and you were the FBI director.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
This is.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I don't know what the Democrats are up to, but
they're up to something. They know they carried out one
of the greatest hoaxes in political history, the Joe Biden presidency,
and they know everybody knows it. They know they're in
a civil war in their party with the socialist far
left element and that AOC like Bernie Sanders three times
(18:04):
before could be the leading vote getter and for the
nomination for President of the United States. And now they
got a vice chairman of the DNC can't who's there
to keep them from stopping it. So they've got that
whole battle going on. Then they can't seem to walk
this line between being an opposing party and obstructionists. So
(18:27):
now here comes this parade all of a sudden of Okay,
we got to clear up this mess that we covered
up a fake presidency, and we need to do it
early before the midterms in three years before the presidential election,
you know, so everybody can move on now. Caught in
the middle as it's happening, are people like Chucky Schumer
(18:49):
and others. Oh, we're going to move on, and that
looks ridiculous. But here is on CNN Pete Buddhagi's former
communication advisor, Liz Smith. Watch this slip of the tongue.
Speaker 10 (19:09):
We resisted so hard between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
We impeached the.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
Guy like if, prosecuted him, convicted him of thirty four
felony accounts, and guess what, he still got elected. So
I don't know how much harder we can resist?
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Right now?
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Are you admitting that the case against Trump and New
York was part of the organized Democratic Party?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Resist?
Speaker 10 (19:28):
It was a Democratic prosecutor and at the time, okay,
at the time I said, I thought it was unwise.
I went on Fox News and said said this at
the time, there were a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Just to be clear, this wasn't.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Just to be clear, everybody who now touts the thirty
four felonies, take it from Liz, This was not a
real case. This was a plot to up end the presidential.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Campaign, which I just think it was a boneheaded moved
by Alvin.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I mean, wow, love Jake Tapper, you know this guy
would railroad anybody who would suggest that the president had
any cognitive issues. Now suddenly that he's wrote the book,
(20:12):
he's willing to come clean out a lot of things.
Should we hear this? And does he have any credibility
moving forward? Does have any credibility forward? How does this
become journalism when it's proof you haven't been journalism all along?
(20:33):
And why should I trust your motives now? All while
it was happening, Jake Tapper would have told you over
and over again, these allegations against Joe Biden and his
son are simply not true.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
Now Trump was right, I mean he did make a
fortune from China, and Joe Biden was wrong. Four million
in income in twenty seventeen and two point two million
in income in twenty eighteen, most of which came from
Chinese or Ukrainian interests. And this directly goes against what
Joe Biden said in the debate in twenty twenty with
(21:09):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Pickolas, I mean just five million dollars, that's all. So
how does you know how do they get away with
You know, now, Jake Tapper, he's a jolly good fellow
for telling you all this stuff. Why can't he tell
us in real time? Oh he's got an excuse for that.
(21:33):
So the big bombshell DuJour today is that the handlers about,
you know, whoever the real president was, whoever the whoever
was behind the auto sign. I believe it was John Podesta.
I don't know that we'll ever be able to prove it.
Probably the people behind the shadow campaign were the people
that were the fake president. Apparently they were keeping even
(21:56):
members of the cabinet isolated from the president in order
to give plausible deniability or to keep them from recognizing
the president is not really running the country. Takes more
than happy to break that story and then tell you
why he didn't tell you the truth all while it
(22:16):
was happening.
Speaker 13 (22:17):
And I'm just curious as to whether or not this
kind of trying to hide what was happening with the
president at the time had an impact on the press corps,
like why didn't we hear some of these details from
what they actually saw? And we're dealing with trying to
get information.
Speaker 14 (22:36):
Well, Alex Thompson and I were on the case, as
were lots of other reporters trying to figure out what
was going on behind the scenes. But bottom line is
the White House was lying not only to the press,
not only to the public, but they were lying to
members of their own cabinet, as you white House staffers.
They were lying to Democratic members of Congress, to donors
(22:58):
about how bad things had gotten. And in fact, Alex
and I started writing this book after the election of
twenty twenty four, and we spoke with more than two
hundred people, most of whom, almost all of whom were Democrats,
and almost all of whom wouldn't be honest with us
or wouldn't be candid with us until after the election.
And then after the election we found out all of
(23:20):
these things that when you looked at what was going
on with President Biden at the time, it probably doesn't
surprise you the extent to which he was deteriorating. But
now we have anecdotes and facts about what was really
going on behind the scenes, with details that Democrats wouldn't
share with us.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So journalism is dead. MSNBCCNNABCNBCCBS, mainstream legacy, whatever you want
to call the media has always been the Democrat Party megaphone.
They've always controlled the narrative. They used to be able
to silence any opposition thought through social media, but then
Elon must took care of that. They're all left holding
(24:01):
the bag. Now where do they go from here?
Speaker 15 (24:08):
In many ways, I think this Biden book is only
going to not just undermine Biden, but I think make
it toxic for anybody that worked for Biden, because then
it becomes where were you? How did you participate in
the cover up? Pete Bootage? This may mean something for you.
You know you were a cabinet secretary. You're going to
now tell us, yeah, I didn't have much interaction with them. Well,
(24:28):
then why didn't you say something? I had a cabinet
secretary tell me that they had no interaction with him
and wondered about that. I had that off the record.
I've after Biden quit, I shared it with people. I'm
still not going to share who the cabinet secretary was,
because that's not my I'm trying. You know, I believe
in keeping your word as a journalist, and it was
an off the record as far as being told to me,
(24:51):
and I think it's up to that person to decide
whether to speak out or not. But I think it's
a question anybody who worked directly for Biden. So Gina Ramondo,
she thinks about running for president, Pete Boudagid, all of
these cabinet secretaries are now going to have to answer
for all of this.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Boy, does this play right into the hands of the
big civil war within the party? I mean advantat JOC
and the Socialist Justice Democrats. But isn't it fun to
watch knowing that legacy media played such a role in
this cover up? Try to throw the politicians under the
bus but come out unscathed, like Michigan's governor. Here's Governor Whitmer.
(25:35):
Let's see, is she going to pull a Chucky Schumer
or Haakim Jeffries. We're moving on, We're not looking back,
like they've ever done that. With January sixth, Well, the
God gives us a little twist. She was just too
busy to notice.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
You were a co chair of the Biden Harris campaign.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
You stuck with Biden until he dropped out of the race.
Speaker 16 (25:55):
Given your position in the campaign, what signs of decline
did you notice?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
You know, I've not read the book. I can tell
you this that if as the book reports. Cabinet members said,
have access that tells you that you know, as a
governor in a state, you know halfway across the country,
who was working her tail off one hundred and sixty
stops on a bus tour that I head line through
(26:21):
swing states.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I didn't, you know. I was busy working.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I was busy doing the connection and the motor registration,
and so I was.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So bad, you know what. I was busy too, And
I could tell you with Senile. I'm of the impression
there were probably several small children whose first words were
s Nile, give me.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
People who majored in online activism with a minor and
puberty book at.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And that's yours of the day for this Friday. It's
your morning show with Michael del Churno. Here's that talkback
button on the iHeartRadio app. Your questions, your comments. I
believe Big John has his preakness pick prepared and ready
for those of you. Will it be journalism? Will it
be mister Sandman? Will it be clever again? Gosger? Who
(27:24):
might he have picked? Here's Big John at the Yms sportsbook.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Right here we go, Big John's preak. This picks for tomorrow.
You got a fast track. I love the one horse.
That's a Backford horse, fast horse. You gotta bet this
journalism the two horse, and look out for your Sandman.
It could show up. Give me a one two seven
exact the box nice.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The Bafford horse he speaks of is goal oriented, a
lot of speed, short breakness race. Gosger is a very
fast horse, but stepping up highly in class. For me,
journalism got such a bad ride. I don't think that
happens at the breakness. I think the class of the
race comes through. I do like journalism, I do like
(28:12):
goal oriented, and I do like Sandman. Let's see how
it all plays out. The breakness is tomorrow, no sovereignty
in the race. Therefore there will be no triple crowd.
If you are just waking up, these are your top
five stories of the day. Supreme Court seems poised to
hand President Trump a partial victory. Mark Mayfield will explain on.
Speaker 17 (28:35):
Thursday, the justices heard arguments in Trump's attempt to end
birthright citizenship. Court insiders say that while most of the
justices seemed opposed to ending it. The conservative majority seemed
inclined to hand the White House what it really wanted,
a legal remedy to reign in judges who've haunted Trump's
policies regarding immigration, DEI initiatives and cutting federal spending. Conservative
(28:56):
Justice Samuel Alito said, the problem is there are six
hundred and eighty district judges who have the disease of
thinking that I am right and I can do whatever
I want.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm Mark Meefield. American debt is shifting from credit cards
and cars to student loans after payments resumed Lisa Cardon reports.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
According to the latest quarterly report from the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, household debt rose by one hundred
and sixty seven billion dollars to eighteen point two trillion
in the first quarter, a jump believed to be driven
by mortgage debt. Data also found credit card balances dropped
by twenty nine billion dollars and auto loan debt fell
by thirteen billion from the previous quarter. However, student loan
(29:36):
balances hit a record one point sixty three trillion, and
now that past two loans are showing on credit reports
for the first time in five years, delinquencies are spiking.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I'm Lisa Cartin Well. The Trump administration reportedly is planning
to stop recommending routine COVID shots for children and pregnant women.
Children I always question, Tammy Trihilo has More.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Wall Street Journal says the Department of Health and Human
Services is expected to remove the CDC recommendations when it
launches new guidelines for approving vaccines. An announcement is expected
in the next few days. The CDC currently recommends that
everyone six months in older received coed vaccines, including pregnant women.
The AHS hasn't common and yet on the report, I'm
(30:21):
Tammi trhio Well.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Diddy isn't the only entertainer potentially in trouble. Singer Smokey
Robinson is under criminal investigation in California after being accused
of sexually assaulting former housekeepers Jason Campadonia has More.
Speaker 18 (30:36):
A lawsuit filed earlier this month by four former employees
of Robinson says that the workers were assaulted for years.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department now says they're in
the early stages of an investigation. Robinson's wife, Francis, is
also named in the lawsuit, she's accused of creating a
hostile work environment. A lawyer for the singer calls the
allegations false and vile. I'm Jason Campadonia. Men, you say
(31:00):
we don't have a heart or twice.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
As likely to die from what is called broken heart
syndrome compared to women.
Speaker 17 (31:07):
New research out of the University of Arizona looked at
what's officially called Takosubo cardiomyopathy, a condition brought on by
extreme stress or emotional distress. It can lead to shortness
of breadth, heart palpitations, and other cardiovascular symptoms. After looking
over four years of data, researchers found the condition was
fatal for men eleven percent of the time, compared with
(31:28):
around five percent for women. The reasons for the discrepancy
art fully understood. Researchers suggested it might be related to
hormonal differences. I'm Mark Neyfield.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Speaking of new studies from psychology today. Social fitness is
just as important as physical fitness. Pre tennis with the
tails on why you need to hang out with your friends.
Speaker 16 (31:47):
The study is among the longest at eighty seven years,
where researchers at Harvard looked at happiness, and it turns
out it comes down to our relationship with others. The
study found if you have a social outlet with friends,
you're not only happier, you're healthier than people who work out.
Study says friends stamp out loneliness, reduce stress and anxiety,
(32:08):
improve mental health, and increase longevity. I'm free tenants not
for me.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I was hanging out with Scott Hamilton yesterday and he
beat me at golf. In sports, Thunder lost one nineteen
one oh seven. They forced a game seven in Oklahoma City.
On Sunday, Canes eliminated the Caps in the NHL in
five games. Jets won four nothing over the Stars. Dang Live,
