News Talk, one oh six point three and AM eighteen
eighty WM e Q oh Claire, Wisconsin and one O
four nine The Patriot and Saint Louis, Missouri. Would love
to be a part of your morning routine. But so
glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast, the only consistency
over the course of my lifetime as an incompetent and
(00:24):
absent Congress.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So introduced the other and it.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Is Friday, and is Triumph, the one the entire Middle
East handled too, mister President, good morning, well, good.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Morning to you, pizza. But you know was so respected, right,
The Middle East loves us. We saw the camels. Nobody's
ever seen campbells like that before. You know, the last
time a US president went to the Middle East, crooked
Joe Biden was sniffing the camels. They didn't like that
very much, I can tell you that. But they loved
me out there, right, they loved me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well. He went he went to me a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
He called Saudi Arabia pariah, and he goes there tells
them you got I got tom produce more oil, which.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They didn't listen to you.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I mean, I'm sitting here looking at three trillion dollars
of business plus I mean, what's.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
The commission on that? Do you get a commission for
all the sales?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Well, the commission is success in greatness? Right, We're doing
so well, We're doing incredibly well, and I can tell
you it's it's a tremendous time.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
We did the YMCA in Saudi Arabia and a lot
of people loved it. The Sauny Prince, the Crown Prince.
They called me the Crown King, by the way, but
the Crown Prince they love it. The McDonald's, we love
the McDonald's.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
I did it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm mobile McDonalds. Nobody thought that was going to happen,
but they did it, and it looked amazing, and we
had so many beautiful things that have happened. You know.
I got along very well with Saudi Arabia, and I
got along very well with their ancestors. You know the
story of a Latin. I got along well with him.
I got a well with a Genie. I got along
well with ja'far right. These are people and the Sultan
(02:00):
along well with a lot of these people. These are
great people and they're very happy about it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And you really liked the decor too. I mean, did
you get any decorating ideas. That's a lot of marble,
a lot of mahogany.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Well they had. It's called a perfecto, right, it was
a perfect marble. And I have perfect marble too. But
my marble is you know, it's coded in gold.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
But you know, as a construction guy, I look at it.
I said, it really looks tremendous. It looks absolutely incredible.
So we love our marble. We love the again, we
love the Crown Prince. He's doing a tremendous step and
we really want and maybe they'll send one to us.
I want a camel, and we're going to see what happens.
We'll bring a camel home.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It was no matter how many there were, seventy eighty,
whatever it was. But then you know, leading your limousine
and then arriving to the swords and the crown, the
Crown Prince met you at the steps. That's very rare
but also very very productive. In fact, your week started
out productive before you ever even left. You stopped the
Indian Pakistani war.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Well, you look what happened, right, And this is what happened.
We were all of a sudden they were bombing each other.
I said, what the heck is going on? I called
it World War seven eleven. Right, we look at this.
It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You can't say that, can you?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, I can absolutely say that. Crooked Joe said, if
you go into a seven eleven, you need an Indian accent.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I would never say something like that, but they thought
it was funny.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I got on the phone.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I said, it's time to end this war. Right, here's
what was going on. I got a phone call. Okay,
and they said to me, sure on the phone call,
we want to talk to you about your extended warranty.
I said, we're I'm doing this right now. We have
to do that. Both countries thought they were scamming each other.
It was this Nigerian prince. You know we're talking about it.
(03:50):
He shows up in your emails. And so India and
Pakistan they thought they were scamming each other. They agreed
to stop, right, agreed to stop the bombing and the fighting.
Uh So, World War seven eleven is over.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
And we did it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Remember did you hear what Bruce Springsteen said about you?
That was terrible.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I mean, I mean he said, I don't listen to
that guy. He's a loser.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
He's a loser.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I listened to what he said. I hear what he said.
He said he was born to run or born in
the USA, and he was born at all. I can
tell you that.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But I mean, you know, you are, you are winning
at such a level, shining and by the way you
just you and the troops, that was amazing. You just
look so comfortable. You look like you're having a blast.
You're accomplishing great things. And this guy is saying we
got a tyrant and you know, a corrupt president. I mean,
it's as dumb as the Democrats thinking about impeaching you.
(04:46):
There's a difference between being an opposition party and just
being an obstructionist of the American people and American greatness.
And it's it's just falling flat. The great talks with Iran.
There's a framework there from keep them to stop the
India Pakistani war. The only disappointment the Putin. He still
(05:06):
got a Putin problem.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, you know, and a lot of people cook and
Joe Biden had a Putin problem too, but it wasn't Russia, right,
it was, and it was a different type of Putin. Right,
you look at it, and you're not supposed to do that.
And even we said it. He was putin with put
a few times. Right, you're not supposed to do that either,
as was Remember Eric Swolwell, who I call his flatulence,
that's his that is his title, his flatulent, Eric Swowell.
(05:31):
And he said he has a BS detector. It must
not have been working, right when the right, I think
about it, think about it. Pizza. He had a wonderful
relationship with a Chinese spy, Fang Fang. You know what
I call her Chinese takeoffs. Right, you're not supposed to
do what he did with her. And you know that
(05:53):
I heard he had a little too much roast pork Lomaine.
Not supposed to do it. But you know, you look,
we edit Putin and we would like to see Putin
come to the table. We would like to see Zelenski
come to the table. We would like to see all
these people. You know, we got peace in the India
Pakistan war. Now we need peace in the nesting dolls war. Right,
the Matsuska dolls. We got to do it, and these
(06:15):
people are want to do it, but we're going to
get it done. And cook at Joe had a Putin problem,
but it wasn't Vladimir Putin. It was something else. And
I don't have a Putin problem. He's not a problem.
But we're going to fix it. We're going to make
sure these guys get peace and we're going to take
care of it. These people are going to be taken
care of, and we're going to get the fighting and
the bombing and the death to stop.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Friday with forty seven. All right, So the Democrats and
every day there's new sound bites. But for Chucky Schumer
and for Hakim Jeffries, they just want to move forward.
We're not looking into the past. Of course, they never
applied that to January sixth, as you know. But you know,
the very people who hid Joe Biden's cognitive impairment one
(06:55):
of the great hoaxes in American political history, now either
in denial or having to acknowledge that they lied to
their voters, stole the primary from their voters, and covered
up an incompetent Joe Biden. Let me ask you this
When did you know he was cognitively challenged? How long
did it take you to figure it out?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Well, we knew it back in twenty nineteen when you
look at That's why we called him sleepy Joe. Right,
That's when we called him Sleepy Joe. And then he
turned into Crooked Joe. But we went into Sleepy Joe
in twenty nineteen. You know, he was campaigning, right, and
we said, and he said Cordon Pup was a bad dude. Right,
And it turns out Corton Pup was an illegal alien
who went by Corton Poppy. Think about it. We deported him.
(07:39):
We got a mail out of here called another Maryland man. Right,
I called him, well, I called him Courton Poppy. But
I called Bobby Kennedy, Bobby who had a fancast think
that yesterday. He's a great game, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
We do very well with him.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
But we knew Crooked Joe was cognitively impaired in twenty nineteen.
He couldn't count to three on the the bench. He
campaigned about his hairy legs that turned under the sun
and nobody wants to hear about it. He was waving
in the fields of nobody, right, he was just a mess.
That guy was a completed, total lesson, and nobody wanted
to talk about it. And then we get into his presidency,
(08:17):
which was really the autopen presidency, and you look at
what he was doing, and the people said he's sharp
as attack up until we had the debate, and then
he said, we beat medicare and challenged me to golf.
I'm the greatest golfer the world has ever seen. Right,
I shot a seventeen on an eighteen old course. Nobody
thought it was possible until I did it. But you
(08:38):
look at Crooked Joe and they act like he caught
the mencho overnight. Could you believe these people? These are crazy.
Let me just tell you something. You do a fantastic job.
Your ratings are fantastic. They Friday on Fridays. Yeah, no,
you do good ratings every day, but you do fantastic
gratings on Friday. But you look at Crooked Joe and
these people, these are sick, disgusting people, right, very sick,
(09:02):
very disgusting. Fake Jake Tapper, right, sleepy eyes, Chuck Todd,
all of these people, they want to write a book,
They want to write books about it. Circle Back Girl,
Jen Saki, right, she said, I had no idea. What
the hell how people are sick?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, and then they act like they weren't a part
of the cover up. That's the joke, all right. The
big narrative's been inflation and inflation is going to lead
to recession, and suddenly inflation has gone. In fact, it's
down at the lowest level since February of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I wonder what happened a couple of months prior to
that so that narrative dies of reality. The job's report
was good. I mean, everything's coming up. Trump and roses
and dafodils. You must be extremely happy.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
And could you believe it? And can you believe it?
We've only been president for only about four months. Could
you believe that? And we turned it around so quickly.
You know, It's like if I was the captain of
the Titanic, I would have turned it around so quickly.
I think it away from that iceberg. Unfortunately, you know
it never would have happened. If I will, you.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Wouldn't have been napped by for one, you wouldn't have
been asleep.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Well I would have. I would have been a wat away.
I don't sleep, But you look at it. A lot
of things wouldn't happened if I was president. Achilles wouldn't
have died if I was president. Likewise, Troy wouldn't have
fallen for the children horse If I was president, I
would have said to Priam, don't do it. If you
don't want that horse tail is wrong with you. But
we're doing a fantastic job. We're waiting like nobody's ever seen.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh I'm not. I'm not tired of it yet either.
There you have it, Friday with forty seven.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Thank you so much for your time, mister president.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
What a week.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Thank you, Pitcher boy.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Imagine walking down the hall and all those women are
just waving their hair as you must be good.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's good to be king.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Twenty one minutes after the hour, Top five stories are next.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Down your morning show.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Someone's knocking at the door, somebody ringing a bell. I
hope soon at former FBI director James Comy's home. After all,
he did a social media post wanting to eighty six
forty seven.
Speaker 10 (11:08):
The post included a photo of seashells on a beach
arranged to form the numbers eighty six forty seven. The
post faced criticism from Trump administration officials, with Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Noms saying Comy was calling for the assassination
of President Trump. The number eighty six is occasionally used
as a slang term for getting rid of someone or something,
(11:29):
while forty seven was interpreted as a reference to Donald
Trump's status as the forty seventh president. In a post
on ex Nome said DHS and the Secret Service are
investigating the threat. Comy has since taken the post down.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm Mark Mayfield, saying he didn't know what eighty six
forty seven meant, even though he was.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The FBI director. What a joke.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
A third day of testimony by Dinny Combe's girlfriend in
his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial is wrapped, not
before delving into baby oil rumors.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
The disgraced music moguls lawyer grilledcast Ventura about lovey w
text messages with the rapper. The singer testified for two
days that did he beat her, stomped on her, raped her,
gave her a black eye, and forced her and other
victims to have sex with male prostitutes while he directed
and recorded. Next Anna Estavo challenged allegations that the Bad
(12:18):
Boys Records founder laced baby oil used in freak offs
with the date rape drug. Cassie had said it was
her job to heat up that oil and forced sexual
participants to reapply it every five minutes so they'd listen.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Bad Sports Nuggas looked good one nineteen one oh seven
over the Thunder. They forced a game seven Sunday in
okc Caine's eliminated the Caps in hockey in five games,
winning three to one. Last night they advanced Jets lost
or Jets one four to nothing, pulling of Beg staying
alive against the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Dallas still up three games to two.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So this is Big John and My Morning SHO is
your morning show.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
With Michael B. Jeffrey and red book It.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Hey, Gang, it's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB and Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM, Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock Up Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning, but glad you're here now for
the podcast enjoy.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Waking up this morning, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is
suggesting perhaps a one on one with Trump and Putin
is the only way to move this piece talk forward,
and I would probably agree. Former FBI Director James call
me receiving criticism.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You should be receiving a.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Knock on the door and an arrest for posting an
image calling for the assassination of President Trump. No Triple
Crown winner this year, but we will have the second
jewel of the Triple Crown, the Breakness coming up on Saturday.
The Derby champions Sovereignty will not run in the Nuggets
forts to Game seven in okac on Sunday with a
win last night. All right, Walmart says that you may start,
(14:08):
you may may start seeing price increases from tariffs by
the end of the month. Trying to think if they
had like twenty million dollars a profit or something and
sixty percent of their goods come.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
From the US.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So Rory O'Neil is here, our national correspondent. Everything seems
to be smoothed out on the tariff front. Where would
the rise be coming.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
From well, they've still got thirty percent tariffs on Chinese imports,
which is significant better than.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
One forty five, but a third is a third.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
And they've also got tariffs coming from countries you ten
percent across the board, from Costa Rica, Peru, Columbia. That's
why they say the prices of bananas and avocados and
coffee are likely all to rise. And look, if the
bananas go from seventy nine cents a pound to eighty
six cents a pound, that's not really a big deal.
But when you've got a car seat that was made
(15:03):
in China that costs three hundred and fifty bucks, they're
telling you it's going to be a four hundred and
fifty dollars item in order to make up for that
thirty percent tariff. And it was four point nine billion
in profits in the first quarter of this year. It
was what, I'm sorry, four point nine billion in profits.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Four billion.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh, yes, wow, they got some wiggle room. We also
talked earlier and I thought it was a fascinating conversation.
The hurricane season begins in two weeks. The question is
is FEMA ready And you have obviously living in Florida
and covering hurricanes. I've lived in Louisiana covered many hurricanes.
(15:42):
We talked a great length about how the more severe
ones tend to be in August. But either way, is
FEMA ready? And the answer is probably first and foremost
understanding what famous role really.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Is, right especially as they're trying to wind this agency,
and so here we are entering the hurricane season at
the same time, we don't know if FEMA is going
to be around by the end of hurricane season, so
we're trying to or what's it going to look like.
Is it just going to be fixed, is it going
to be replaced? You know, what's that new structure going
to be Because the Trump administration wants to put more
(16:18):
of the power in the hands of the states, but
you know that creates issues of its own. So there's
got to be some sort of a funding mechanism that
gets money to states as they respond to these multi
billion dollar disasters.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Well, if it was a string, you got the states
on one side and the federal government on the other.
The states don't have those resources, so somebody on the
federal government side has to be allocating these funds. So yeah,
time to clarify that. What a week I can only
imagine what's on the weekend. I've heard on many iHeart
stations across the country on demand any time on the
(16:53):
iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I would think a lot of attention on the Middle East.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Absolutely, we've got a report from the ground and Oha
talking about her experiences with this trip for President Trump
all the billions, trillions of dollars in business that was announced.
Will also go a bit deeper into the problems he's
facing now coming home with the budget issues and trying
to get that big, beautiful bill passed. We'll talk about
(17:17):
the two big criminal trials this week, the p Didy
trial of them Menendez brothers, plus a little conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
With Dave Barry about his memoir. Yeah, I had the
good fortune, you know I do.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Friday, I decided to do this feature where we take
one of the spotlight interviews of the week, and this
week we had Lena Hall from the hit Apple TV
show of Friends and Neighbors. She plays John Hamm's character's sister.
She's just an extraordinary talent. And then my hero Dave Barry,
and I had to you know, kind of you know,
look at it and go I think I got to
(17:50):
give it to Lena, But I had a fascinating visit
with Dave Berry. I mean, you know, for many of
us it all began being class clowns, and he was
certainly one of them. But you know, I don't know
how your interview went, but mine what made it fascinating
is today a Dave Berry can't exist. You know, the
notion that that brilliant mind and that brilliant edge of
observatory humor has done through a syndicated column in newspapers
(18:15):
that don't really exist. Syndicated columns which really don't exist,
couldn't even happen today. It's that was the shocking part.
And then the life lessons along the way, and the
admonition to never grow up, which I have done, but
you kind of have.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You have grown up. You need to work on them.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Yeah, that's my tolerance for those who have not grown up.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
That's that's not you've gooked, but I'm sure you had.
You've got some much different things out of him. But
Dave Berry, Yeah, he's he's a he's a treasure, all right.
That's all coming up on the weekend, died with Rory O'Neil.
Have a great weekend, Rory. We'll talk again on Monday.
If you're just waking up. I think the top five
stories speak for themselves.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The Supreme Court is.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Would seem poised to and the president of partial victory.
We had a long conversation with John Decker about this yesterday.
It's a partial victory because the first is the role
of these judges. The second is the power of the presidency.
That's still to come. But as for the judges themselves,
(19:21):
not a good day. Mark Mayfield explains.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
On 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 haunted Trump's
policies regarding immigration DEI initiatives and cutting federal spending. Conservative
(19:45):
Justice Samuel Alito said the problem is there are six
hundred and eighty district court judges who have the disease
of thinking that I am right.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And I can do whatever I want. I'm Mark Meefield.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's the judge portion of it. Now, does the president
have the power or to change birthright laws. I think
you're going to find that belongs to Congress. Yeah, the
same Congress is dropping the ball everywhere else.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
American debt is shifting from credit cards and cars back
to student loans.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Lisa Carton has more.
Speaker 12 (20:15):
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
(20:39):
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.
I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's a medical first.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Doctors have used gene editing to fix a baby's rare
and life threatening genetic condition for the first time ever.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Tammy Trehillo has more.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
At the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of
Pennsylvania treated the child who was born with the liver
mutation that increased his risk of brain damage and death.
With gene editing, they were able to at least partially
reverse his condition and hopefully give him a new lease
on life. The case was described Thursday in the New
England Journal of Medicine. I'm Tammy Trihio did.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He isn't the only entertainer in trouble. Singer Smokey Robinson
is under criminal investigation in California, being accused of sexually
assaulting former housekeepers.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Jason Campadonia has the details.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
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.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I'm Jason Campadonia.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Corgan Wallin's inaugural music festival kicks off in Alabama this week.
The first annuals Send Them Up Boots Fest gim an
a plus for the name sold out in just two
hours earlier in the last fall post Malone, Brooks and Dunn,
Hardy Wall and himself will perform along with all the
(22:17):
other big name artists. It'll all take place at an
event in Golf Shores on May sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth.
The event will take place at the site of the
Hangout Festival, which will not be held this year. Well,
we all know about physical fitness, right, but what about
mental fitness?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Bring Tennis with details on why you need to hang
out with your friends.
Speaker 14 (22:37):
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.
The studies says friends stamp out loneliness, reduce stress and anxiety,
(22:57):
improve mental health, and increase long jeb I'm Bree Tennis,
and I.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Got news for you.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
A bot won't do it, A projected life and fake
relationship on social media won't do it either.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Del Chrono you're

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I'm Michael del Journal, honored to be able to serve you.
Hope you're having a great Frida you. Hope you have
great plans for the weekend and make some great memories.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, I think, suggesting the obvious,
we got a putent problem, and this is going to
take Donald Trump and Putin meeting one on one before
we can make any progress in moving forward in peace negotiations.
(23:39):
Former FBI Director James Calemy receiving criticism to say the
least me get a knock on the door from Secret
Service after posting a picture of shells lined up to
spell eighty six forty seven suggesting someone should kill the president.
Supreme Court seems poised to hand the President a partial victory,
and there'll be a breakness, but there will be no
(23:59):
triple crown. Sovergty will not run. Will it be journalism?
Will it be goal oriented? The breakness is Saturday.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Other than that, as I mentioned jokingly earlier, if Oklahoma
City should lose on Sunday night, I'll just don't expect
me to be at work on Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'll be in a state of morning. I'm going to
be off Monday and Tuesday no matter what. But I'm
thrilled to tell you that Chris Croc will be filling in.
It'll still be your morning show. And please give my
friend Chris Kroc all the respect, and I know he
looks forward to hearing from you on the talkback button.
All Right, we're waiting on John, right, Yeah, still waiting
(24:37):
on John.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Still waiting. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
The only other programming note of Wood is that visit
with Newt Gingrich is going to be extraordinary. And that's
before the mid East trip even took place. And I
think you know, one of the things we're going to
look at that's kind of pretty generational, is this this trip.
(25:03):
I don't know, you know, Nixon, China, mister Gorbachev tear
down that wall. Those were pretty extraordinary trips. JFK the
first to go to Germany and address Berlin.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
These are all very very historic trips.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This one's going to be right there with it, and
not just for the money the President returns home with,
but really deep in the weeds, the strategic diploma, diplomatic
significance of solidifying these nations, returning relations with certain nations
(25:42):
that have been damaged so that we have the relationship,
not Russia or China. This is really significant stuff. That's
how I That's kind of what I've been saying all
morning long. I want to step aside now because John
Decker has covered eight presidents as a White House correspondent,
and John, I don't know where you put this trip.
(26:04):
I mean, for what it achieved financially and strategically. In
terms of diplomacy, this is up there. It's up there
with tear down that wall. It's up there with Kennedy
and addressing Berlin. It's up there with China and Nixon.
This one's going to be a historic remember trip, don't
you think.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
I don't know. We'll let history play that out, you know,
as to whether or not it's that kind of trip.
You know, the trips that you're mentioning all involved very
well received and repeated beaches made by presidents. You know,
you mentioned mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall, and Dishpennein
and ber Lehner. I mean, those were I think the
(26:50):
types of visits that I put in a different category
than this one. I'm not diminishing this visit. I'm just
saying those are in different categories than the trip that
the President took this week. But having said that, some
major surprises on the foreign policy front, eliminating all US
sanctions on Syria, meeting with Syria's president, the first president
(27:11):
in twenty five years to do so, offering up to
Iran a new nuclear deal proposal. We'll see if that
gets any traction. And then on the economic front, the
announcement that cut O Airways is purchasing I believe the
number is one hundred.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And sixty Boeing jets.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
That's a huge investment in our.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Country and the huge investment, you know, in terms of
employment for Boeing. So those are some great things that
the President delivered during the course of this week long
trip to the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, and I would say.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Respect and celebrated, you know, with the Kennedy aside, and
Kennedy and Reagan both those were huge civilian crowds, so
you're right, they are different. But the way this president
was celebrated each stop, I mean, I don't think anybody's
gonna remember ever, forget the camels, the swords, you know,
or the whatever that was with the hair wave in
(28:06):
the United Arab Emirates. He was certainly celebrated throughout the
Middle East and some great accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Do we have a.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Dollar total, because mine adds up to a little over
four trillion, Trump said, thirteen trillion. I've seen Fox with
much lower numbers. What kind of a sales call does
this amount to?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Oh, I don't know, I don't know what the number is.
That's a very good question. You know, those deals that
he announced, as it relates to military purchases, they still
need to be approved by Congress. I would expect they
would be, but that is something that still needs to
be done. It's called you know, dotting the eyes and
crossing the keys. And then you know, as it relates
to the purchases of those Boeing jets, that's a great
(28:47):
thing for Boeing, which has really gone through and a
lot negatively over the course of the past few years.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
This is a big shot in the arm for that company.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, And that was one of the early narratives that
the president is kind of embarrassing them and bums rushing them,
that's why he's wanting to accept this plane. And then
that narrative dies when the President cuts a great deal
for Boeing, all right, I want to do this last
minute on the Supreme Court. The headline is seems poised
to hand the president of partial victory, partial because you
see where they're at with activist judges. But we still
(29:17):
have to get back to the main question is can
you take birthright citizenship away as a president without Congress
changing the law. I think he gets an early victory
and a later loss, don't you.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah. So the early victory is what you're alluding to,
and that has to do with those nationwide injunctions that
have been imposed by federal district court judges.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Both liberal and conservative justices do not like that.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
So I do see some movement on that front.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
I see no movement, however, as it relates to the
President trying to do away with birthright citizenship by executive order.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
That is not going to pass muster with the US
Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
John Decker is always great reporting, have a great weekend.
We'll talk again next week.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del Jno.
Hey, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live each weekday morning
on great stations like thirteen sixty The Patriot in San Diego,
News Talk, one oh six point three and AM eighteen
eighty WM e Q oh Claire, Wisconsin and one O
four nine The Patriot and Saint Louis, Missouri. Would love
to be a part of your morning routine. But so
glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast, the only consistency
over the course of my lifetime as an incompetent and
(00:24):
absent Congress.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So introduced the other and it.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Is Friday, and is Triumph, the one the entire Middle
East handled too, mister President, good morning, well, good.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Morning to you, pizza. But you know was so respected, right,
The Middle East loves us. We saw the camels. Nobody's
ever seen campbells like that before. You know, the last
time a US president went to the Middle East, crooked
Joe Biden was sniffing the camels. They didn't like that
very much, I can tell you that. But they loved
me out there, right, they loved me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well. He went he went to me a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
He called Saudi Arabia pariah, and he goes there tells
them you got I got tom produce more oil, which.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They didn't listen to you.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I mean, I'm sitting here looking at three trillion dollars
of business plus I mean, what's.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
The commission on that? Do you get a commission for
all the sales?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Well, the commission is success in greatness? Right, We're doing
so well, We're doing incredibly well, and I can tell
you it's it's a tremendous time.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
We did the YMCA in Saudi Arabia and a lot
of people loved it. The Sauny Prince, the Crown Prince.
They called me the Crown King, by the way, but
the Crown Prince they love it. The McDonald's, we love
the McDonald's.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
I did it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm mobile McDonalds. Nobody thought that was going to happen,
but they did it, and it looked amazing, and we
had so many beautiful things that have happened. You know.
I got along very well with Saudi Arabia, and I
got along very well with their ancestors. You know the
story of a Latin. I got along well with him.
I got a well with a Genie. I got along
well with ja'far right. These are people and the Sultan
(02:00):
along well with a lot of these people. These are
great people and they're very happy about it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And you really liked the decor too. I mean, did
you get any decorating ideas. That's a lot of marble,
a lot of mahogany.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Well they had. It's called a perfecto, right, it was
a perfect marble. And I have perfect marble too. But
my marble is you know, it's coded in gold.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
But you know, as a construction guy, I look at it.
I said, it really looks tremendous. It looks absolutely incredible.
So we love our marble. We love the again, we
love the Crown Prince. He's doing a tremendous step and
we really want and maybe they'll send one to us.
I want a camel, and we're going to see what happens.
We'll bring a camel home.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It was no matter how many there were, seventy eighty,
whatever it was. But then you know, leading your limousine
and then arriving to the swords and the crown, the
Crown Prince met you at the steps. That's very rare
but also very very productive. In fact, your week started
out productive before you ever even left. You stopped the
Indian Pakistani war.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Well, you look what happened, right, And this is what happened.
We were all of a sudden they were bombing each other.
I said, what the heck is going on? I called
it World War seven eleven. Right, we look at this.
It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
You can't say that, can you?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, I can absolutely say that. Crooked Joe said, if
you go into a seven eleven, you need an Indian accent.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I would never say something like that, but they thought
it was funny.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I got on the phone.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I said, it's time to end this war. Right, here's
what was going on. I got a phone call. Okay,
and they said to me, sure on the phone call,
we want to talk to you about your extended warranty.
I said, we're I'm doing this right now. We have
to do that. Both countries thought they were scamming each other.
It was this Nigerian prince. You know we're talking about it.
(03:50):
He shows up in your emails. And so India and
Pakistan they thought they were scamming each other. They agreed
to stop, right, agreed to stop the bombing and the fighting.
Uh So, World War seven eleven is over.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
And we did it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Remember did you hear what Bruce Springsteen said about you?
That was terrible.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I mean, I mean he said, I don't listen to
that guy. He's a loser.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
He's a loser.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I listened to what he said. I hear what he said.
He said he was born to run or born in
the USA, and he was born at all. I can
tell you that.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But I mean, you know, you are, you are winning
at such a level, shining and by the way you
just you and the troops, that was amazing. You just
look so comfortable. You look like you're having a blast.
You're accomplishing great things. And this guy is saying we
got a tyrant and you know, a corrupt president. I mean,
it's as dumb as the Democrats thinking about impeaching you.
(04:46):
There's a difference between being an opposition party and just
being an obstructionist of the American people and American greatness.
And it's it's just falling flat. The great talks with Iran.
There's a framework there from keep them to stop the
India Pakistani war. The only disappointment the Putin. He still
(05:06):
got a Putin problem.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, you know, and a lot of people cook and
Joe Biden had a Putin problem too, but it wasn't Russia, right,
it was, and it was a different type of Putin. Right,
you look at it, and you're not supposed to do that.
And even we said it. He was putin with put
a few times. Right, you're not supposed to do that either,
as was Remember Eric Swolwell, who I call his flatulence,
that's his that is his title, his flatulent, Eric Swowell.
(05:31):
And he said he has a BS detector. It must
not have been working, right when the right, I think
about it, think about it. Pizza. He had a wonderful
relationship with a Chinese spy, Fang Fang. You know what
I call her Chinese takeoffs. Right, you're not supposed to
do what he did with her. And you know that
(05:53):
I heard he had a little too much roast pork Lomaine.
Not supposed to do it. But you know, you look,
we edit Putin and we would like to see Putin
come to the table. We would like to see Zelenski
come to the table. We would like to see all
these people. You know, we got peace in the India
Pakistan war. Now we need peace in the nesting dolls war. Right,
the Matsuska dolls. We got to do it, and these
(06:15):
people are want to do it, but we're going to
get it done. And cook at Joe had a Putin problem,
but it wasn't Vladimir Putin. It was something else. And
I don't have a Putin problem. He's not a problem.
But we're going to fix it. We're going to make
sure these guys get peace and we're going to take
care of it. These people are going to be taken
care of, and we're going to get the fighting and
the bombing and the death to stop.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Friday with forty seven. All right, So the Democrats and
every day there's new sound bites. But for Chucky Schumer
and for Hakim Jeffries, they just want to move forward.
We're not looking into the past. Of course, they never
applied that to January sixth, as you know. But you know,
the very people who hid Joe Biden's cognitive impairment one
(06:55):
of the great hoaxes in American political history, now either
in denial or having to acknowledge that they lied to
their voters, stole the primary from their voters, and covered
up an incompetent Joe Biden. Let me ask you this
When did you know he was cognitively challenged? How long
did it take you to figure it out?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Well, we knew it back in twenty nineteen when you
look at That's why we called him sleepy Joe. Right,
That's when we called him Sleepy Joe. And then he
turned into Crooked Joe. But we went into Sleepy Joe
in twenty nineteen. You know, he was campaigning, right, and
we said, and he said Cordon Pup was a bad dude. Right,
And it turns out Corton Pup was an illegal alien
who went by Corton Poppy. Think about it. We deported him.
(07:39):
We got a mail out of here called another Maryland man. Right,
I called him, well, I called him Courton Poppy. But
I called Bobby Kennedy, Bobby who had a fancast think
that yesterday. He's a great game, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
We do very well with him.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
But we knew Crooked Joe was cognitively impaired in twenty nineteen.
He couldn't count to three on the the bench. He
campaigned about his hairy legs that turned under the sun
and nobody wants to hear about it. He was waving
in the fields of nobody, right, he was just a mess.
That guy was a completed, total lesson, and nobody wanted
to talk about it. And then we get into his presidency,
(08:17):
which was really the autopen presidency, and you look at
what he was doing, and the people said he's sharp
as attack up until we had the debate, and then
he said, we beat medicare and challenged me to golf.
I'm the greatest golfer the world has ever seen. Right,
I shot a seventeen on an eighteen old course. Nobody
thought it was possible until I did it. But you
(08:38):
look at Crooked Joe and they act like he caught
the mencho overnight. Could you believe these people? These are crazy.
Let me just tell you something. You do a fantastic job.
Your ratings are fantastic. They Friday on Fridays. Yeah, no,
you do good ratings every day, but you do fantastic
gratings on Friday. But you look at Crooked Joe and
these people, these are sick, disgusting people, right, very sick,
(09:02):
very disgusting. Fake Jake Tapper, right, sleepy eyes, Chuck Todd,
all of these people, they want to write a book,
They want to write books about it. Circle Back Girl,
Jen Saki, right, she said, I had no idea. What
the hell how people are sick?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, and then they act like they weren't a part
of the cover up. That's the joke, all right. The
big narrative's been inflation and inflation is going to lead
to recession, and suddenly inflation has gone. In fact, it's
down at the lowest level since February of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I wonder what happened a couple of months prior to
that so that narrative dies of reality. The job's report
was good. I mean, everything's coming up. Trump and roses
and dafodils. You must be extremely happy.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
And could you believe it? And can you believe it?
We've only been president for only about four months. Could
you believe that? And we turned it around so quickly.
You know, It's like if I was the captain of
the Titanic, I would have turned it around so quickly.
I think it away from that iceberg. Unfortunately, you know
it never would have happened. If I will, you.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Wouldn't have been napped by for one, you wouldn't have
been asleep.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Well I would have. I would have been a wat away.
I don't sleep, But you look at it. A lot
of things wouldn't happened if I was president. Achilles wouldn't
have died if I was president. Likewise, Troy wouldn't have
fallen for the children horse If I was president, I
would have said to Priam, don't do it. If you
don't want that horse tail is wrong with you. But
we're doing a fantastic job. We're waiting like nobody's ever seen.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh I'm not. I'm not tired of it yet either.
There you have it, Friday with forty seven.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Thank you so much for your time, mister president.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
What a week.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Thank you, Pitcher boy.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Imagine walking down the hall and all those women are
just waving their hair as you must be good.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's good to be king.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Twenty one minutes after the hour, Top five stories are next.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Down your morning show.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Someone's knocking at the door, somebody ringing a bell. I
hope soon at former FBI director James Comy's home. After all,
he did a social media post wanting to eighty six
forty seven.
Speaker 10 (11:08):
The post included a photo of seashells on a beach
arranged to form the numbers eighty six forty seven. The
post faced criticism from Trump administration officials, with Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Noms saying Comy was calling for the assassination
of President Trump. The number eighty six is occasionally used
as a slang term for getting rid of someone or something,
(11:29):
while forty seven was interpreted as a reference to Donald
Trump's status as the forty seventh president. In a post
on ex Nome said DHS and the Secret Service are
investigating the threat. Comy has since taken the post down.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm Mark Mayfield, saying he didn't know what eighty six
forty seven meant, even though he was.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The FBI director. What a joke.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
A third day of testimony by Dinny Combe's girlfriend in
his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial is wrapped, not
before delving into baby oil rumors.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
The disgraced music moguls lawyer grilledcast Ventura about lovey w
text messages with the rapper. The singer testified for two
days that did he beat her, stomped on her, raped her,
gave her a black eye, and forced her and other
victims to have sex with male prostitutes while he directed
and recorded. Next Anna Estavo challenged allegations that the Bad
(12:18):
Boys Records founder laced baby oil used in freak offs
with the date rape drug. Cassie had said it was
her job to heat up that oil and forced sexual
participants to reapply it every five minutes so they'd listen.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Bad Sports Nuggas looked good one nineteen one oh seven
over the Thunder. They forced a game seven Sunday in
okc Caine's eliminated the Caps in hockey in five games,
winning three to one. Last night they advanced Jets lost
or Jets one four to nothing, pulling of Beg staying
alive against the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Dallas still up three games to two.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So this is Big John and My Morning SHO is
your morning show.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
With Michael B. Jeffrey and red book It.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Hey, Gang, it's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB and Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM, Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock Up Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning, but glad you're here now for
the podcast enjoy.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Well.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Waking up this morning, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is
suggesting perhaps a one on one with Trump and Putin
is the only way to move this piece talk forward,
and I would probably agree. Former FBI Director James call
me receiving criticism.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You should be receiving a.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Knock on the door and an arrest for posting an
image calling for the assassination of President Trump. No Triple
Crown winner this year, but we will have the second
jewel of the Triple Crown, the Breakness coming up on Saturday.
The Derby champions Sovereignty will not run in the Nuggets
forts to Game seven in okac on Sunday with a
win last night. All right, Walmart says that you may start,
(14:08):
you may may start seeing price increases from tariffs by
the end of the month. Trying to think if they
had like twenty million dollars a profit or something and
sixty percent of their goods come.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
From the US.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So Rory O'Neil is here, our national correspondent. Everything seems
to be smoothed out on the tariff front. Where would
the rise be coming.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
From well, they've still got thirty percent tariffs on Chinese imports,
which is significant better than.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
One forty five, but a third is a third.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
And they've also got tariffs coming from countries you ten
percent across the board, from Costa Rica, Peru, Columbia. That's
why they say the prices of bananas and avocados and
coffee are likely all to rise. And look, if the
bananas go from seventy nine cents a pound to eighty
six cents a pound, that's not really a big deal.
But when you've got a car seat that was made
(15:03):
in China that costs three hundred and fifty bucks, they're
telling you it's going to be a four hundred and
fifty dollars item in order to make up for that
thirty percent tariff. And it was four point nine billion
in profits in the first quarter of this year. It
was what, I'm sorry, four point nine billion in profits.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Four billion.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh, yes, wow, they got some wiggle room. We also
talked earlier and I thought it was a fascinating conversation.
The hurricane season begins in two weeks. The question is
is FEMA ready And you have obviously living in Florida
and covering hurricanes. I've lived in Louisiana covered many hurricanes.
(15:42):
We talked a great length about how the more severe
ones tend to be in August. But either way, is
FEMA ready? And the answer is probably first and foremost
understanding what famous role really.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Is, right especially as they're trying to wind this agency,
and so here we are entering the hurricane season at
the same time, we don't know if FEMA is going
to be around by the end of hurricane season, so
we're trying to or what's it going to look like.
Is it just going to be fixed, is it going
to be replaced? You know, what's that new structure going
to be Because the Trump administration wants to put more
(16:18):
of the power in the hands of the states, but
you know that creates issues of its own. So there's
got to be some sort of a funding mechanism that
gets money to states as they respond to these multi
billion dollar disasters.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Well, if it was a string, you got the states
on one side and the federal government on the other.
The states don't have those resources, so somebody on the
federal government side has to be allocating these funds. So yeah,
time to clarify that. What a week I can only
imagine what's on the weekend. I've heard on many iHeart
stations across the country on demand any time on the
(16:53):
iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I would think a lot of attention on the Middle East.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Absolutely, we've got a report from the ground and Oha
talking about her experiences with this trip for President Trump
all the billions, trillions of dollars in business that was announced.
Will also go a bit deeper into the problems he's
facing now coming home with the budget issues and trying
to get that big, beautiful bill passed. We'll talk about
(17:17):
the two big criminal trials this week, the p Didy
trial of them Menendez brothers, plus a little conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
With Dave Barry about his memoir. Yeah, I had the
good fortune, you know I do.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Friday, I decided to do this feature where we take
one of the spotlight interviews of the week, and this
week we had Lena Hall from the hit Apple TV
show of Friends and Neighbors. She plays John Hamm's character's sister.
She's just an extraordinary talent. And then my hero Dave Barry,
and I had to you know, kind of you know,
look at it and go I think I got to
(17:50):
give it to Lena, But I had a fascinating visit
with Dave Berry. I mean, you know, for many of
us it all began being class clowns, and he was
certainly one of them. But you know, I don't know
how your interview went, but mine what made it fascinating
is today a Dave Berry can't exist. You know, the
notion that that brilliant mind and that brilliant edge of
observatory humor has done through a syndicated column in newspapers
(18:15):
that don't really exist. Syndicated columns which really don't exist,
couldn't even happen today. It's that was the shocking part.
And then the life lessons along the way, and the
admonition to never grow up, which I have done, but
you kind of have.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You have grown up. You need to work on them.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Yeah, that's my tolerance for those who have not grown up.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
That's that's not you've gooked, but I'm sure you had.
You've got some much different things out of him. But
Dave Berry, Yeah, he's he's a he's a treasure, all right.
That's all coming up on the weekend, died with Rory O'Neil.
Have a great weekend, Rory. We'll talk again on Monday.
If you're just waking up. I think the top five
stories speak for themselves.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The Supreme Court is.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Would seem poised to and the president of partial victory.
We had a long conversation with John Decker about this yesterday.
It's a partial victory because the first is the role
of these judges. The second is the power of the presidency.
That's still to come. But as for the judges themselves,
(19:21):
not a good day. Mark Mayfield explains.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
On 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 haunted Trump's
policies regarding immigration DEI initiatives and cutting federal spending. Conservative
(19:45):
Justice Samuel Alito said the problem is there are six
hundred and eighty district court judges who have the disease
of thinking that I am right.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And I can do whatever I want. I'm Mark Meefield.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's the judge portion of it. Now, does the president
have the power or to change birthright laws. I think
you're going to find that belongs to Congress. Yeah, the
same Congress is dropping the ball everywhere else.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
American debt is shifting from credit cards and cars back
to student loans.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Lisa Carton has more.
Speaker 12 (20:15):
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
(20:39):
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.
I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's a medical first.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Doctors have used gene editing to fix a baby's rare
and life threatening genetic condition for the first time ever.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Tammy Trehillo has more.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
At the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of
Pennsylvania treated the child who was born with the liver
mutation that increased his risk of brain damage and death.
With gene editing, they were able to at least partially
reverse his condition and hopefully give him a new lease
on life. The case was described Thursday in the New
England Journal of Medicine. I'm Tammy Trihio did.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He isn't the only entertainer in trouble. Singer Smokey Robinson
is under criminal investigation in California, being accused of sexually
assaulting former housekeepers.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Jason Campadonia has the details.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
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.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I'm Jason Campadonia.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Corgan Wallin's inaugural music festival kicks off in Alabama this week.
The first annuals Send Them Up Boots Fest gim an
a plus for the name sold out in just two
hours earlier in the last fall post Malone, Brooks and Dunn,
Hardy Wall and himself will perform along with all the
(22:17):
other big name artists. It'll all take place at an
event in Golf Shores on May sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth.
The event will take place at the site of the
Hangout Festival, which will not be held this year. Well,
we all know about physical fitness, right, but what about
mental fitness?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Bring Tennis with details on why you need to hang
out with your friends.
Speaker 14 (22:37):
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.
The studies says friends stamp out loneliness, reduce stress and anxiety,
(22:57):
improve mental health, and increase long jeb I'm Bree Tennis,
and I.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Got news for you.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
A bot won't do it, A projected life and fake
relationship on social media won't do it either.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Del Chrono you're
listening to your morning show.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I'm Michael del Journal, honored to be able to serve you.
Hope you're having a great Frida you. Hope you have
great plans for the weekend and make some great memories.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, I think, suggesting the obvious,
we got a putent problem, and this is going to
take Donald Trump and Putin meeting one on one before
we can make any progress in moving forward in peace negotiations.
(23:39):
Former FBI Director James Calemy receiving criticism to say the
least me get a knock on the door from Secret
Service after posting a picture of shells lined up to
spell eighty six forty seven suggesting someone should kill the president.
Supreme Court seems poised to hand the President a partial victory,
and there'll be a breakness, but there will be no
(23:59):
triple crown. Sovergty will not run. Will it be journalism?
Will it be goal oriented? The breakness is Saturday.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Other than that, as I mentioned jokingly earlier, if Oklahoma
City should lose on Sunday night, I'll just don't expect
me to be at work on Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'll be in a state of morning. I'm going to
be off Monday and Tuesday no matter what. But I'm
thrilled to tell you that Chris Croc will be filling in.
It'll still be your morning show. And please give my
friend Chris Kroc all the respect, and I know he
looks forward to hearing from you on the talkback button.
All Right, we're waiting on John, right, Yeah, still waiting
(24:37):
on John.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Still waiting. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
The only other programming note of Wood is that visit
with Newt Gingrich is going to be extraordinary. And that's
before the mid East trip even took place. And I
think you know, one of the things we're going to
look at that's kind of pretty generational, is this this trip.
(25:03):
I don't know, you know, Nixon, China, mister Gorbachev tear
down that wall. Those were pretty extraordinary trips. JFK the
first to go to Germany and address Berlin.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
These are all very very historic trips.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This one's going to be right there with it, and
not just for the money the President returns home with,
but really deep in the weeds, the strategic diploma, diplomatic
significance of solidifying these nations, returning relations with certain nations
(25:42):
that have been damaged so that we have the relationship,
not Russia or China. This is really significant stuff. That's
how I That's kind of what I've been saying all
morning long. I want to step aside now because John
Decker has covered eight presidents as a White House correspondent,
and John, I don't know where you put this trip.
(26:04):
I mean, for what it achieved financially and strategically. In
terms of diplomacy, this is up there. It's up there
with tear down that wall. It's up there with Kennedy
and addressing Berlin. It's up there with China and Nixon.
This one's going to be a historic remember trip, don't
you think.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
I don't know. We'll let history play that out, you know,
as to whether or not it's that kind of trip.
You know, the trips that you're mentioning all involved very
well received and repeated beaches made by presidents. You know,
you mentioned mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall, and Dishpennein
and ber Lehner. I mean, those were I think the
(26:50):
types of visits that I put in a different category
than this one. I'm not diminishing this visit. I'm just
saying those are in different categories than the trip that
the President took this week. But having said that, some
major surprises on the foreign policy front, eliminating all US
sanctions on Syria, meeting with Syria's president, the first president
(27:11):
in twenty five years to do so, offering up to
Iran a new nuclear deal proposal. We'll see if that
gets any traction. And then on the economic front, the
announcement that cut O Airways is purchasing I believe the
number is one hundred.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And sixty Boeing jets.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
That's a huge investment in our.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Country and the huge investment, you know, in terms of
employment for Boeing. So those are some great things that
the President delivered during the course of this week long
trip to the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, and I would say.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Respect and celebrated, you know, with the Kennedy aside, and
Kennedy and Reagan both those were huge civilian crowds, so
you're right, they are different. But the way this president
was celebrated each stop, I mean, I don't think anybody's
gonna remember ever, forget the camels, the swords, you know,
or the whatever that was with the hair wave in
(28:06):
the United Arab Emirates. He was certainly celebrated throughout the
Middle East and some great accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Do we have a.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Dollar total, because mine adds up to a little over
four trillion, Trump said, thirteen trillion. I've seen Fox with
much lower numbers. What kind of a sales call does
this amount to?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Oh, I don't know, I don't know what the number is.
That's a very good question. You know, those deals that
he announced, as it relates to military purchases, they still
need to be approved by Congress. I would expect they
would be, but that is something that still needs to
be done. It's called you know, dotting the eyes and
crossing the keys. And then you know, as it relates
to the purchases of those Boeing jets, that's a great
(28:47):
thing for Boeing, which has really gone through and a
lot negatively over the course of the past few years.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
This is a big shot in the arm for that company.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, And that was one of the early narratives that
the president is kind of embarrassing them and bums rushing them,
that's why he's wanting to accept this plane. And then
that narrative dies when the President cuts a great deal
for Boeing, all right, I want to do this last
minute on the Supreme Court. The headline is seems poised
to hand the president of partial victory, partial because you
see where they're at with activist judges. But we still
(29:17):
have to get back to the main question is can
you take birthright citizenship away as a president without Congress
changing the law. I think he gets an early victory
and a later loss, don't you.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah. So the early victory is what you're alluding to,
and that has to do with those nationwide injunctions that
have been imposed by federal district court judges.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Both liberal and conservative justices do not like that.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
So I do see some movement on that front.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
I see no movement, however, as it relates to the
President trying to do away with birthright citizenship by executive order.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
That is not going to pass muster with the US
Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
John Decker is always great reporting, have a great weekend.
We'll talk again next week.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del Jno.
