Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety
Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every
day and make us a part of your morning routine.
But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Chornan Resident Trump is kicking around the idea of taking
the funding for Harvard and giving it to trade schools.
The FBI is reopening probes into a number of high
profile unsolved cases, including the cocaine found at the White
House and a big win for the Thunder on the
Road last night by two. They now lead the series
three games to one. They're headed home in the Western
Conference finals to close things out tomorrow night, and.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Credit card rewards they're drying.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Up in Southwest Airlines is now charging for luggage.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh my, what's the oldiest.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
These changes have people asking where are all the parts?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
These days?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
National correspondent Roy O'Neil here to help us find them.
Good morning, Rory.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Why happy Tuesday, Michael, Oh kind of well, you know
it is unless, of course, look if today is the
day to book that flight on Southwest Airlines, because today
is the last day you can book and still get
two free bags on the flight. We don't know the
exact fee structures still, but the new policy takes effect
(01:35):
tomorrow as Southwest continues its march to become just like
every other airline.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, they now if you, let's say you've got a
trip that you've booked for September, it's when you book it, right,
not when you go correct.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, right, So.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
They'll honor that right, they'll honor the deal under the
previous terms.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But the terms change tomorrow. And it's funny you say that.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I just you know, as you know, it was in
Tampa and I had a piece of luggage and golf clubs.
I wonder what they're going to charge for golf clubs.
And so now Southwest we'll get into the whole waying.
I mean, you've ever seen anybody that happened to me
one time? The only time I flow flew in airlines
other than Southwest in the last twenty years was to Indianapolis,
and I remember the baggage fee was more than the ticket,
(02:19):
and when I got there, I guess it was overweight.
I had to go buy a piece of luggage and
turn it into another one and then pay for two bag.
One of those nightmare. So we'll start having that nonsense
in Southwest as well. So that starts anything booked after today,
right right.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
And then starting in the fall, they're going to do
assigned seating. They'll have extra leg room seats. All this
because there's an activist investor group that's gotten on the
Southwest board. They're trying to shake and squeeze more profits
out of the airline.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yeah, and that's that'll send us to the other airlines.
That's how that's what made Southwest great all along. All right.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
One of the other ones that are drying up credit
card right.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
We're seeing well right, these credit card rewards. The concern
is that if the economy may dip or at least
in this uncertainty, some of these companies may try to
readjust or realign their benefit programs. So the real word
is devaluation. And the advice essentially is if you've got
miles that are stacking up. Use them because you don't
(03:15):
want them suddenly to be worth half of what they
are now and oh suddenly a reward ticket is one
hundred thousand points not fifty thousand, and you were sitting
on sixty thousand all along, So now you're missing out.
So don't hoart points and make sure that if you're
going to well and the overarching messages, make sure you
pay the bill off every month.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's that would be.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
And you know how, I let me tell you my
most effective strategy for doing that. I don't know if
you ever share your genius with others, but I like
to share mine. I just don't use them that way.
They're paid off everyone, right, Well, yeah, I mean that.
Do you remember the Serenai live bit where they're all
sit at the table and the announcer guy appears, I
know what you could do? Stop buying things you can't afford.
(03:57):
They are they playing the same game with the cash
back too that we're seeing with Miles, and that.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
One's yeah, so far, that one doesn't seem to have
been affected as much. But they're also saying, look some
of these and as these cards change their deals, make
sure you're actually having a points program you use.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, if you travel regularly and.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
You used to stay at the Hilton, but now you
like the Marriott instead. Well, make sure you're doing the
right card for the right thing, or if you want
cash back or you know, so find the appropriate deal.
Make sure they're not you're not saving points for stuff
you'll never use.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Maybe one of those things we have to solve by
moving around. Do you know how that works? That's why
I cancel serious XM all the time so I can
get that five dollars a month off.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's how you just they go right to five dollars.
You never heard a serious excit of them. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I've never I'm a loyal company man. I don't know
who they are. Want an ihard kiss up? I's gonna
be back at the third hour.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
It was a busy weekend that included massive Russian attacks
in Ukraine, including seizing of some territory where we'll be
back with that story in the the third hour. Yeah, that,
you know what else is kind of I'm almost over
the whole. My son is kind of talking me into
the other one, and I can't remember what it is.
(05:16):
It's started out on your phone and now you can
do it without having to do fast forwards or listen
to anything commercials. I can't remember the name of it.
I'm about ready to switch it. You know, what I'm
noticing more irritating than thing with serious XM is people
talking too much. Really, Like the whole reason we got
(05:37):
that was we'd have to hear just jockey shock on
and on and on, and now more and more of
them are talking and talking and starting to really irrigate.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
But to me, that is the intimacy and the great
thing of radio and radio.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, but on satellite, I just want, you know, music
on in the background. You got your playlist, Well you don't,
That's what I'm saying. I should switch to what Nick
has and that develops one for you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, but if that's the scam though, if you just cancel,
you don't have to cancel. Cancel just on the website
or on your email, go to the cancel button and
then it'll start negotiating with you.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Next thing.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know, he just went for twenty four dollars to
five dollars. Yeah, but you know it's like the art
of the deal. You got to be ready to walk.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
But I'm just banged my head or bang my dashboard
with my hand listening to satellite radio the same way
I do terrestrial radio. So I'm like, well, why would
I pay to bang my dashboard? Well, I think your
dashboard's asking the same question. Let's go to James at
Ohio and see what's not his peerl of wisdom. Mind morning, Michael.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Interesting that the left who's constantly complaining that Trump is
Hitler and Meg are the Nazis, when Harvard has odly
tried to legitimize the Third Reich and the SS says
the nineteen thirties, every president at Harvard, why are we
giving even a penny to these fools?
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I think Red would want me to chime in right
now and make the clear distinction. This is money the
government would pay to Harvard, per se, let's say, to
do a study on blank, like they would give money
to the Mayo Institute to do a study on blank
or so on and so forth. But still, if they're
not going to comply, if they're going to have anti
Semitic practices, if they're not going to comply with exchange
(07:24):
students from other countries, well yeah, certainly get.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Somebody else to do the test.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
But what the president is suggesting is and I maybe
I'm the one that confused everybody because I just thought,
I mean, do you realize I didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Even finish with this. I could have dismounted with it.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Only eight percent rate the performance of public schools in
America today is excellent. I mean, I'm a golfer. Try
to get near any goose on the course as kids,
you know, like they'll come marching by and their mama. Yeah,
(08:01):
try to walk towards your ball and watch it. I mean,
sometimes geese have more protective instincts, it seems. Don't we
want an excellent tomorrow for our children? Don't we want
our schools to do what our tax dollars go for
them to do, which is prepare our kids to be citizens. Look,
(08:23):
I don't rely on schools to do everything. I've trained
my children up to be good citizens, but schools should
reinforce it and do it as well.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Don't we want them to be.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Prepared, prepared for the workforce, prepared for higher education. And
only eight percent of us think it's excellent and it's
not a number one topic. But in light of all
those bad scores, yeah, I'd be pretty open to using
some of that money for trade schools.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Karen pretty much echoed the same thing.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
We just make sure everybody understands this is not you know,
they've got endowments, they've got tuition, they've got alumni support.
They get their money from a lot of places. But yeah,
I don't think we need Harvard to do a psychology
study or a workforce study if they're not complying.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But would that be better money used.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I think we need to focus more on trade schools,
and I think we need to obviously focus.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
On fixing common education. That's the takeaway for the day.
All right.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I want to get to these other big stories coming
up throughout the morning. They're all Democrat related, So let
me just do a quick little tease for you. One
is the Atlantic, And as we always distinguish, the Atlantic
is kind of like the Beacon. So they're calling the
shots for the Washington Post, for the New York Times,
for MSNBC, for CNN. So it's significant when they do
(09:46):
something and what's their headline, Democrats, Civil war is coming.
They're just now acknowledging what has been going on for
going on two decades or more, or what America witnessed
in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four with
the DNC.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The civil war is.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Almost over and they're just acknowledging it's coming now. The
Wall Street journals know better. They're acknowledging that Rommy Manuel
is taking the first few steps of teasing us for
a run for the presidency.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Are you kidding me? You don't know?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
AOC is going to be the party's choice, and the
DNC is going to step in to block it like
they did with Kama, like they did with Joe, like
they did with.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Hillary, and they're going to block it with Rommy Manuel.
How dumb? How much would I have to dumb myself down?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
These are the people that told us that Biden was
perfectly fine them.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Speaking of that, Jake Tapper says, yeah, I think I
can maybe possibly, if I can word it in such
a way that you won't understand, I'll admit this is
worse than Watergate. Yeah, and you're one of them. The
Dems also are looking to buy the next Joe Rogan.
Just the statement of goal tells me they'll never achieve it.
(11:02):
You can't buy that. We're gonna talk about the power
being first and the power being organic. Oh and it's
not just about a talent. You have to have the curiosity,
the openness, the willing to listen. In other words, you
(11:23):
can't just go find somebody to peddle your failed policy
and message. But that's how desperate they are, because that's
how in trouble they are.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Good morning, twenty five minutes after the hour, Thanks for
waking up with your morning show on the air and
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. And welcome to Tuesday,
May the twenty seventh of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Did I mention the speaker will be on the show tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Isn't funny? It's all you know, like share Madonna? The speaker?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Well, I gotta say people know it's Nude Gingrich, New
York Time best selling author out with a new book,
Trump's Triumph. Will ask him all about the Trump Triumph
and the book tomorrow. Don't miss Dude Gingrich right here
on your morning show.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I guess it's the time to do top five stories
of the day as it if no more.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
President Trump is thinking about taking funding for Harvard and
giving it to trade schools.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Mark Mayfield has the details.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
In a post on truth So Social Monday morning, Trump
said I am considering taking three billion dollars of grant
money away from a very antisemitic Harvard and giving it
to trade schools all across our land. In another post,
Trump also said the government is waiting for Harvard to
provide them with foreign student lists so they can determine
how many of them should not be let back into
the country. The Trump administration revoked Harvard's ability to enroll
(12:44):
foreign students, a move that was later temporarily blocked by
a federal judge. On Monday, Trump said, have no fear
the government will in the end win.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
The House passed the big Beautiful bill esqueakra by one vote.
Now the Senate is set to take President Trump's spending bill.
Scott Carr has more from Washington.
Speaker 10 (13:04):
Republicans in the Senate have promised to make changes to
the bill, though House Speaker Mike Johnson tells CNN State
of the Union he thinks that would be a bad idea.
Speaker 11 (13:14):
I have a very delicate balance here, a very delicate
equilibrium that we've reached over a long period of time,
and it's best not to meddle with it too much.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Johnson says he takes issue with a Congressional Budget Office
estimate saying almost eight million Americans will eventually lose their
healthcare coverage because it cuts to Medicaid included in the bill.
He claims many of those people are illegal immigrants or
able bodied young men who refuse to work, and that
they're committing fraud by enrolling in Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
President Trump later wreath at the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier at the one hundred and fifty seventh National Memorial
Day observation at Arlington Cemetery. More from Lisa Carton.
Speaker 12 (14:01):
The President visited Arlington National Cemetery to mark Memorial Day.
He took part in a wreath laying ceremony at the
tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Before delivering remarks, Trump said,
we share in the sorrow with the families of fallen
service members and added those soldiers gave everything and asked
for nothing. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
A book coming out this September claims Freddie Mercury fathered
a child.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
In the book Love Freddy, Freddie Mercury's Secret Life and Love.
A forty eight year old medical professional living in Europe,
says she's the late singer's daughter. The book, written by
Leslie and Jones, says a woman was born after Mercury
had an affair with a friend's wife in nineteen seventy six.
Mercury reportedly first learned he was going to be a
father just two days after the single You're My Best
(14:56):
Friend was released. The woman, who has identified only as B,
says she and Mercury had a close relationship up until
Mercury's death in late nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm working made Field so.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Randy Stonehill was a contemporary Christian artist back in the
seventies and eighties, and he had a song that I
think of all the time. It was a better title
than it was even a song, but the song was good.
To stop the World. I want to get off. This
is too weird for me. I mean, if the world
(15:29):
was a ride, at what point are we ready to
get off?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
How about this one?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Humans could soon have the ability to see in the
dark and with their eyes closed, all thanks to nanotechnology.
Speaker 13 (15:41):
Signedists from China and the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical
School have created contact lenses infused with special nanoparticles that
let people see in the dark and in fog. The
nanoparticles absorbed in for red light and converted into images
the human eye can't usually see. The lenses have only
been tested on a small group of people in China
with normal vision. I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 14 (16:06):
Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
We're heard on great stations like News Talk five point
fifty k FYI and Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k
EX in Portland and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle.
Make us a part of your morning routine. We'd love
to have you listen live, but in the meantime, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
It is Tuesday, made the twenty seventh YEV on a
old twenty twenty five. It is thirty six minutes after
the hour in the Eastern time zone. You got about
twenty four minutes to be back to work by eight o'clock.
The FBI is opening probes into a number of high
profile unsolved cases, not the least of which is the
cocaine found at the White House during the Biden administration.
Was it Hunters? Was it the Vice President's Who's was it?
(16:58):
Why was it never investigated? Why don't we know? And
with all the fingers pointing to both Jill's over involvement
behind the auto pen and empty presidency, there's been a
lot of talk about Hunter being around a lot and
that explained the cocaine.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So it'll be interest to see how this plays out.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
US Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff says the ceasefire hostage deal
is on the table and he's urging Hamas to accept it.
President Trump is thinking about taking funding for Harvard and
getting it to trade schools. And the thunder are up
commandingly now three games to one over the Tea Wolves
heading home to Oklahoma City where they can close things out.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Guess what time it is?
Speaker 15 (17:38):
Ah always revealing off, entertaining, we will win, We we list.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Even doesn't make even cho.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Well, I think you will be. It's time for sounds
the day. Well, here's President Trump speaking at the Memorial
Day ceremony at Arlington Cemetery, and I always love the
moments when I can see he goes off teleprompter, because
that's usually we're out of the abundance of the heart.
The president truly speaks, and well, here's a really interesting moment.
(18:20):
I have often said, I don't think Donald Trump could
have had a second term this meaningful, impactful, and revolutionary
had it succeeded his first term.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
He like John F.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Kennedy or the two presidents I think were never supposed
to happen, which make them very significant. One was assassinated
and not given the chance to have a second term.
One was assassinated, but they didn't succeed, and he lived
and he won the character persecution.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Law. Fair to make history, But how would the president?
What would his.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Perspective be about the four year interruption that came up
at Arlington?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Listen, I have a big celebration, as you know, two
hundred and fifty years. In some ways, I'm glad I
missed that second term where it was because.
Speaker 16 (19:16):
I wouldn't be your president for that most important of all.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
In addition, we have the World Cup and we have
the Olympics. Can you imagine I missed that four years
and now look what I have I have everything amazing
the way things work out.
Speaker 16 (19:37):
God did that. I believe that too, God.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
David, God did it. Love it.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Later he talked towards the end of the speech, and
I thought this was a beautiful clip to play.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Listen in any quarner of the cemetery, at any resting
place for our war dead, anywhere on Earth, you'll find
untold stories of equal heroism and heartbreak, unmatched patriotism and devotion,
and acts of selflessness and courage so enormous they defy comprehension.
Speaker 16 (20:16):
Most people can't even imagine it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Great poets have written that it's love which moves the
sun and the stars. But here on the sacred soil,
right where we are, we're reminded that it's love which
moves the course of history, and moves it always forward, freedom, always,
From Bunker Hill to Best Owned, to Cantonye to Coralcy,
(20:40):
from Gettysburg to Guadalcanal and Concord to Cabul. America's best
and America's bravest have fought, bled and died so that
we could pick up the torch of liberty, raise it high,
high high, and carry it onward to places they could
never have dreamed of before. Today, we honor their memory,
(21:04):
we remember their gallantry, just revere in the highest sense.
We just revere their incredible legacy. We salute them in
their eternal and everlasting glory. And we continue our relentless
pursuit of America's destiny as we make our nation stronger.
Speaker 16 (21:25):
Prouder, freer, and greater than ever before.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
May God bless our fallen hero May God bless our
gold star families.
Speaker 16 (21:36):
And may God bless the United States of America. Thank
you very much, everybody.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Donald Trump with the Memorial Days celebration at Arlington Cemetery yesterday,
just Trump being president? All right, what about the presidency?
That didn't really happen. Actually, you know, we constantly hear
from Jake Tapper. He was just one of the authors.
The other author is Alex Thompson from Axios. The book
(22:06):
is called Original Sin. And here he is on a
CNN talk show and I don't know, if I can't,
I'll let you listen. Is this host trying to brush
everything off, and he's saying, you know, I'm not seeing
any specifics as to you know, you never hear anybody's
(22:29):
cite a specific thing that the president failed at if
his cognitive ability was so bad, what was.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The blown deal?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
And so Alex Thompson just starts his list a few things.
Speaker 14 (22:42):
Members of the cabinet believe that because of Biden's age,
that senior people in the administration, people like Ron Klaine,
were able to steer the Biden administration more to the
left of where Biden had been for most of his career.
We have Senator Mark Warner in the book Democratic Virginia
saying that he during a foreign policy national security conversation,
(23:04):
they believed that Biden was not really up to snuff
on all the issues. We also have Senator Michael Bennett
of Colorado, a Democrat, also probably running for governor, believing
that Biden's age made him unable to handle the immigration
portfolio and all the factions of the Democratic Party which
led to such incoherence with the border and immigration policies.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of this country.
Speaker 14 (23:25):
Now that Biden people can disagree, but these are senior
Democrats in the administration and in the Senate, where Joe
Biden served for thirty six years, that just disagree.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Now again, when we were saying all this in real time,
people like Jake Tapperoxhommes, they were all carrying the torch
of hiding. This I said during COVID, COVID revealed more
(23:55):
than it actually did. You want to see how to
do we are as a nation, look at COVID. You
want to see how dependent we become on government? Look
at COVID. It revealed so much more. The level of
compliance and ignorance and blind trust that's all lost. Now
(24:20):
on how you get it back, I don't know. But
who wouldn't look at faking a presidency as worse than
January sixth? I mean, if you care about democracy, it
isn't faking a precedency and covering up a fake presidency?
(24:42):
Isn't that a threat to democracy? I mean, for goodness sakes,
isn't that worse than Watergate? Well, Jake Tapper was on
Peers Morgan, listen, this.
Speaker 17 (24:53):
Brings me to your conclusion which said, Joe Biden is
not Richard Nixon. The hiding and the cover up of
his deterioration is not Watergate. I'm not entirely sure I
agree Jake with that conclusion.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Next, the next line is the next The next line
is it is an.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Entirely separate scandal. It is a scandal. Yes, it is
it is. It is.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
It is without question, and maybe even worse than Watergate
in some way, right because Richard Nixon was in control
of his faculties when he wasn't drinking. And you know,
so the idea that yeah, we don't, we don't mean
to exonerate. We just the only reason that we have
the Watergate thing is there because we quote Archibald Cox,
who was a Watergate investigator, talking about how powerful the
(25:40):
presidency is and how presidents get surrounded by people who
have a vested interest in keeping that president propped up.
So that's the only reason we invoke Watergate is just
to make clear like, it's not Watergate. This is an
entirely separate scandal, maybe even worse.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Maybe.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
An illegitimate election where you weaponize COVID changed election laws
without going through any state legislatures in order to harvest
ballots to steal swing districts of swing precincts of swing
states to steer an election, and then you hide a
cognitively impaired man like the movie Dave for four years.
(26:20):
You want to compare that to the Nixon presidency, a
break in and a runaway landslide election and the stupid
idea of covering it up. You got cover up and
a fake presidency. This one falls under why are the
(26:40):
Democrats in such a bad place? Because the biggest reality,
and I think a lot of Americans, I don't know
what the percentage is, but if it was sixty two
percent of America had the eyes to see, in the
ears to hear, and the willingness to be realistic, they knew.
(27:04):
I mean, just go back and watch the old footage
of Jill leading him around him lost as you know,
how to get off stage. Who didn't know he was
cognitively out of it? We all did, but now we
all do. And so the big story is they faked
a presidency with a cognitively impaired probably memory care nursing
home patient. That's where they're getting power away from Trump
(27:30):
and back to them.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Led them kind.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Of like somebody that's just trying to lie their way
out of lies.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
He ended up in some pretty ridiculous places.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So while everybody's talking about the age incompetence and cognitive
impairment and cover up of Joe Biden, was Jasmine Crockett
talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
The president's cognitive ability.
Speaker 18 (27:57):
We as a country deserve better and Frankly, if you
are going to ever be seen as the world leaders
that we historically have been, the world deserves better. It
is time for Republicans to start calling him out and
start questioning his mental acuity and whether or not he
is equipped to serve. Mentally, we know when it comes
down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve.
(28:20):
But this is just absolutely deplorable.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Well bigger than a giraffe comes to mind. Can I
give the end of the Sounds of the Day to
Megan Kelly? This is just too sweet of a moment,
especially whenever whenever somebody reveals the ridiculousness of sixty minutes, sixty.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Minutes gets rolled around.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
First of all, it doesn't even have the esteem it
used to, but they like to roll it around, and
they did fauci, you know, like a whole foremost authority
sixty minutes. So here's Megan kell covering the wake Forest
University and doctrination and commencement address by Scott Pelly.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Listen, oh, Scott Pelly.
Speaker 19 (29:08):
We can't leave this subject without showing you Scott Pelly
at wake Forest.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I don't know why wake Forest.
Speaker 19 (29:13):
Would invite Scott Pelly and sick him on their graduates
with as you accurately.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
By the way, I got to ask read something real quick.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
You have pre listened to all this right, because Megan
is not the Meghan from Fox. She's got some favorite ords.
Are you sure there's nothing? I'm pretty sure. You're pretty sure?
Speaker 19 (29:31):
Wit Now, I've never heard it said right like you
did Lockjaw. He does beach crackdowns that we suffered during
COVID under Joe Biden right when he took over, and
how we got censored if we said try iromectin or
hydroxychloroquin right, or if you said COVID started in a
lab and it wasn't natural.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Origin, or where are all the you know, vice presidents
of programming and CEOs of all these companies that issued
emails and dictates. You do anything to discourage somebody from
getting it COVID vaccine, you'll be fired. You never hear
anything about that.
Speaker 19 (30:11):
If you said it's causing serious side effects like myrocarditis.
All of the crackdowns right that we've had on free speech,
the disinformation doesn't where they actively work with social media
to censor regular Americans.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Where the sick the FBI on parents.
Speaker 19 (30:25):
Said school board meetings if they were saying the wrong things.
And now now is the time Scott Pelly would like
to throw a word out there for free speech and
listen to him do it.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred
rule of law is underattack. Journalism is underattack, universities are
under attack, freedom of speech is underattack.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
And in city sphere is reaching.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Through our schools, our businesses, our homes and into our
private faults.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I mean, Scott Pelly and Jasmine Crockett, I mean, how
do you get that out of touch with the American people.
They're not under attack. They've lost all credibility. They did
it to themselves. They've made their bed. I wish they'd
just go to sleep in it.
Speaker 15 (31:34):
There sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Chrono. These
are your top five stories.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
President Trump thinking about taking some of that money that
would have gone to Harvard and giving it to trade schools.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
In a post on truth Social Monday morning, Trump said,
I am considering taking three billion dollars of grant money
away from a very anti Semitic Harvard and giving it
to trade schools all across our land.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
In another post.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
Trump also said the government is waiting for Harvard to
provide them with foreign student lists so they can determine
how many of them should not be let back into
the country. The Trump administration revoke Harvard's ability to enroll
foreign students, a move that was later temporarily blocked by
a federal judge on Monday. Trump's that have no fear
the government will in the end win. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Well, we definitely need some nurses. A new study ranks
Utah as the state with the worst nursing shortage in
the country. Tammy Triheo has to tails.
Speaker 13 (32:27):
The study found that Utah has just over thirteen hundred
nurses per one hundred thousand residents. The national average is
twenty fifty seven per one thousand people. To report used
data from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Utah was directly followed on the list by Washington, Georgia,
at Wyoming and Maryland. I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Fifty first American Music Awards there in the books. The
event took place last night Las Vegas, Billie Eilish walking
away with the Knight's biggest honor. She won seven awards,
including Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Nothing for
Taylor Swift. Do not delight in the misfortune of others,
but it's nice they're passing it around to others. And
(33:09):
Janet Jackson got the icon of word along with Rod Stewart,
and a lot of buzz about the performance and hosting
of j Low in Sports, a lot of buzz about
the thunder SGA with a playoff high forty points in
his career, just enough to win on the road six
over the Timberwolves. They head back to Oklahoma City up
(33:31):
three games to one. Game five is tomorrow night and
the Eastern Conference Finals have a hockey. The Canes stay
alive with the three nothing shut out over the Panthers,
but Florida commanding lead three games to one game five
in Carolina, Tigers won Brew Crew one Cards loss, Dodgers
beat the Guardians, raised one over the Twins, d Back
shut out the Pirates, Padrey's beat the Marlins, and the
(33:51):
Angels fell to the Yankees. Birthdays Roz from Frasier. Perry
Gilpin is sixty four years old and what you're talking
about willis Cott Bridges is sixtieth At your birthday, Happy birthday,
So glad.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
You were born. We're all in this together. This is
your Morning Show with Michael del Joano
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety
Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every
day and make us a part of your morning routine.
But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Chornan Resident Trump is kicking around the idea of taking
the funding for Harvard and giving it to trade schools.
The FBI is reopening probes into a number of high
profile unsolved cases, including the cocaine found at the White
House and a big win for the Thunder on the
Road last night by two. They now lead the series
three games to one. They're headed home in the Western
Conference finals to close things out tomorrow night, and.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Credit card rewards they're drying.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Up in Southwest Airlines is now charging for luggage.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh my, what's the oldiest.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
These changes have people asking where are all the parts?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
These days?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
National correspondent Roy O'Neil here to help us find them.
Good morning, Rory.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Why happy Tuesday, Michael, Oh kind of well, you know
it is unless, of course, look if today is the
day to book that flight on Southwest Airlines, because today
is the last day you can book and still get
two free bags on the flight. We don't know the
exact fee structures still, but the new policy takes effect
(01:35):
tomorrow as Southwest continues its march to become just like
every other airline.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, they now if you, let's say you've got a
trip that you've booked for September, it's when you book it, right,
not when you go correct.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, right, So.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
They'll honor that right, they'll honor the deal under the
previous terms.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But the terms change tomorrow. And it's funny you say that.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I just you know, as you know, it was in
Tampa and I had a piece of luggage and golf clubs.
I wonder what they're going to charge for golf clubs.
And so now Southwest we'll get into the whole waying.
I mean, you've ever seen anybody that happened to me
one time? The only time I flow flew in airlines
other than Southwest in the last twenty years was to Indianapolis,
and I remember the baggage fee was more than the ticket,
(02:19):
and when I got there, I guess it was overweight.
I had to go buy a piece of luggage and
turn it into another one and then pay for two bag.
One of those nightmare. So we'll start having that nonsense
in Southwest as well. So that starts anything booked after today,
right right.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
And then starting in the fall, they're going to do
assigned seating. They'll have extra leg room seats. All this
because there's an activist investor group that's gotten on the
Southwest board. They're trying to shake and squeeze more profits
out of the airline.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yeah, and that's that'll send us to the other airlines.
That's how that's what made Southwest great all along. All right.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
One of the other ones that are drying up credit
card right.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
We're seeing well right, these credit card rewards. The concern
is that if the economy may dip or at least
in this uncertainty, some of these companies may try to
readjust or realign their benefit programs. So the real word
is devaluation. And the advice essentially is if you've got
miles that are stacking up. Use them because you don't
(03:15):
want them suddenly to be worth half of what they
are now and oh suddenly a reward ticket is one
hundred thousand points not fifty thousand, and you were sitting
on sixty thousand all along, So now you're missing out.
So don't hoart points and make sure that if you're
going to well and the overarching messages, make sure you
pay the bill off every month.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's that would be.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
And you know how, I let me tell you my
most effective strategy for doing that. I don't know if
you ever share your genius with others, but I like
to share mine. I just don't use them that way.
They're paid off everyone, right, Well, yeah, I mean that.
Do you remember the Serenai live bit where they're all
sit at the table and the announcer guy appears, I
know what you could do? Stop buying things you can't afford.
(03:57):
They are they playing the same game with the cash
back too that we're seeing with Miles, and that.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
One's yeah, so far, that one doesn't seem to have
been affected as much. But they're also saying, look some
of these and as these cards change their deals, make
sure you're actually having a points program you use.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, if you travel regularly and.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
You used to stay at the Hilton, but now you
like the Marriott instead. Well, make sure you're doing the
right card for the right thing, or if you want
cash back or you know, so find the appropriate deal.
Make sure they're not you're not saving points for stuff
you'll never use.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Maybe one of those things we have to solve by
moving around. Do you know how that works? That's why
I cancel serious XM all the time so I can
get that five dollars a month off.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's how you just they go right to five dollars.
You never heard a serious excit of them. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I've never I'm a loyal company man. I don't know
who they are. Want an ihard kiss up? I's gonna
be back at the third hour.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
It was a busy weekend that included massive Russian attacks
in Ukraine, including seizing of some territory where we'll be
back with that story in the the third hour. Yeah, that,
you know what else is kind of I'm almost over
the whole. My son is kind of talking me into
the other one, and I can't remember what it is.
(05:16):
It's started out on your phone and now you can
do it without having to do fast forwards or listen
to anything commercials. I can't remember the name of it.
I'm about ready to switch it. You know, what I'm
noticing more irritating than thing with serious XM is people
talking too much. Really, Like the whole reason we got
(05:37):
that was we'd have to hear just jockey shock on
and on and on, and now more and more of
them are talking and talking and starting to really irrigate.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
But to me, that is the intimacy and the great
thing of radio and radio.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, but on satellite, I just want, you know, music
on in the background. You got your playlist, Well you don't,
That's what I'm saying. I should switch to what Nick
has and that develops one for you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, but if that's the scam though, if you just cancel,
you don't have to cancel. Cancel just on the website
or on your email, go to the cancel button and
then it'll start negotiating with you.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Next thing.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know, he just went for twenty four dollars to
five dollars. Yeah, but you know it's like the art
of the deal. You got to be ready to walk.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
But I'm just banged my head or bang my dashboard
with my hand listening to satellite radio the same way
I do terrestrial radio. So I'm like, well, why would
I pay to bang my dashboard? Well, I think your
dashboard's asking the same question. Let's go to James at
Ohio and see what's not his peerl of wisdom. Mind morning, Michael.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Interesting that the left who's constantly complaining that Trump is
Hitler and Meg are the Nazis, when Harvard has odly
tried to legitimize the Third Reich and the SS says
the nineteen thirties, every president at Harvard, why are we
giving even a penny to these fools?
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I think Red would want me to chime in right
now and make the clear distinction. This is money the
government would pay to Harvard, per se, let's say, to
do a study on blank, like they would give money
to the Mayo Institute to do a study on blank
or so on and so forth. But still, if they're
not going to comply, if they're going to have anti
Semitic practices, if they're not going to comply with exchange
(07:24):
students from other countries, well yeah, certainly get.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Somebody else to do the test.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
But what the president is suggesting is and I maybe
I'm the one that confused everybody because I just thought,
I mean, do you realize I didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Even finish with this. I could have dismounted with it.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Only eight percent rate the performance of public schools in
America today is excellent. I mean, I'm a golfer. Try
to get near any goose on the course as kids,
you know, like they'll come marching by and their mama. Yeah,
(08:01):
try to walk towards your ball and watch it. I mean,
sometimes geese have more protective instincts, it seems. Don't we
want an excellent tomorrow for our children? Don't we want
our schools to do what our tax dollars go for
them to do, which is prepare our kids to be citizens. Look,
(08:23):
I don't rely on schools to do everything. I've trained
my children up to be good citizens, but schools should
reinforce it and do it as well.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Don't we want them to be.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Prepared, prepared for the workforce, prepared for higher education. And
only eight percent of us think it's excellent and it's
not a number one topic. But in light of all
those bad scores, yeah, I'd be pretty open to using
some of that money for trade schools.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Karen pretty much echoed the same thing.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
We just make sure everybody understands this is not you know,
they've got endowments, they've got tuition, they've got alumni support.
They get their money from a lot of places. But yeah,
I don't think we need Harvard to do a psychology
study or a workforce study if they're not complying.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But would that be better money used.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I think we need to focus more on trade schools,
and I think we need to obviously focus.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
On fixing common education. That's the takeaway for the day.
All right.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I want to get to these other big stories coming
up throughout the morning. They're all Democrat related, So let
me just do a quick little tease for you. One
is the Atlantic, And as we always distinguish, the Atlantic
is kind of like the Beacon. So they're calling the
shots for the Washington Post, for the New York Times,
for MSNBC, for CNN. So it's significant when they do
(09:46):
something and what's their headline, Democrats, Civil war is coming.
They're just now acknowledging what has been going on for
going on two decades or more, or what America witnessed
in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four with
the DNC.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The civil war is.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Almost over and they're just acknowledging it's coming now. The
Wall Street journals know better. They're acknowledging that Rommy Manuel
is taking the first few steps of teasing us for
a run for the presidency.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Are you kidding me? You don't know?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
AOC is going to be the party's choice, and the
DNC is going to step in to block it like
they did with Kama, like they did with Joe, like
they did with.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Hillary, and they're going to block it with Rommy Manuel.
How dumb? How much would I have to dumb myself down?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
These are the people that told us that Biden was
perfectly fine them.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Speaking of that, Jake Tapper says, yeah, I think I
can maybe possibly, if I can word it in such
a way that you won't understand, I'll admit this is
worse than Watergate. Yeah, and you're one of them. The
Dems also are looking to buy the next Joe Rogan.
Just the statement of goal tells me they'll never achieve it.
(11:02):
You can't buy that. We're gonna talk about the power
being first and the power being organic. Oh and it's
not just about a talent. You have to have the curiosity,
the openness, the willing to listen. In other words, you
(11:23):
can't just go find somebody to peddle your failed policy
and message. But that's how desperate they are, because that's
how in trouble they are.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Good morning, twenty five minutes after the hour, Thanks for
waking up with your morning show on the air and
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. And welcome to Tuesday,
May the twenty seventh of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Did I mention the speaker will be on the show tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Isn't funny? It's all you know, like share Madonna? The speaker?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Well, I gotta say people know it's Nude Gingrich, New
York Time best selling author out with a new book,
Trump's Triumph. Will ask him all about the Trump Triumph
and the book tomorrow. Don't miss Dude Gingrich right here
on your morning show.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I guess it's the time to do top five stories
of the day as it if no more.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
President Trump is thinking about taking funding for Harvard and
giving it to trade schools.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Mark Mayfield has the details.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
In a post on truth So Social Monday morning, Trump
said I am considering taking three billion dollars of grant
money away from a very antisemitic Harvard and giving it
to trade schools all across our land. In another post,
Trump also said the government is waiting for Harvard to
provide them with foreign student lists so they can determine
how many of them should not be let back into
the country. The Trump administration revoked Harvard's ability to enroll
(12:44):
foreign students, a move that was later temporarily blocked by
a federal judge. On Monday, Trump said, have no fear
the government will in the end win.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
The House passed the big Beautiful bill esqueakra by one vote.
Now the Senate is set to take President Trump's spending bill.
Scott Carr has more from Washington.
Speaker 10 (13:04):
Republicans in the Senate have promised to make changes to
the bill, though House Speaker Mike Johnson tells CNN State
of the Union he thinks that would be a bad idea.
Speaker 11 (13:14):
I have a very delicate balance here, a very delicate
equilibrium that we've reached over a long period of time,
and it's best not to meddle with it too much.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Johnson says he takes issue with a Congressional Budget Office
estimate saying almost eight million Americans will eventually lose their
healthcare coverage because it cuts to Medicaid included in the bill.
He claims many of those people are illegal immigrants or
able bodied young men who refuse to work, and that
they're committing fraud by enrolling in Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
President Trump later wreath at the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier at the one hundred and fifty seventh National Memorial
Day observation at Arlington Cemetery. More from Lisa Carton.
Speaker 12 (14:01):
The President visited Arlington National Cemetery to mark Memorial Day.
He took part in a wreath laying ceremony at the
tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Before delivering remarks, Trump said,
we share in the sorrow with the families of fallen
service members and added those soldiers gave everything and asked
for nothing. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
A book coming out this September claims Freddie Mercury fathered
a child.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
In the book Love Freddy, Freddie Mercury's Secret Life and Love.
A forty eight year old medical professional living in Europe,
says she's the late singer's daughter. The book, written by
Leslie and Jones, says a woman was born after Mercury
had an affair with a friend's wife in nineteen seventy six.
Mercury reportedly first learned he was going to be a
father just two days after the single You're My Best
(14:56):
Friend was released. The woman, who has identified only as B,
says she and Mercury had a close relationship up until
Mercury's death in late nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm working made Field so.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Randy Stonehill was a contemporary Christian artist back in the
seventies and eighties, and he had a song that I
think of all the time. It was a better title
than it was even a song, but the song was good.
To stop the World. I want to get off. This
is too weird for me. I mean, if the world
(15:29):
was a ride, at what point are we ready to
get off?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
How about this one?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Humans could soon have the ability to see in the
dark and with their eyes closed, all thanks to nanotechnology.
Speaker 13 (15:41):
Signedists from China and the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical
School have created contact lenses infused with special nanoparticles that
let people see in the dark and in fog. The
nanoparticles absorbed in for red light and converted into images
the human eye can't usually see. The lenses have only
been tested on a small group of people in China
with normal vision. I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 14 (16:06):
Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.

the podcast.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
It is Tuesday, made the twenty seventh YEV on a
old twenty twenty five. It is thirty six minutes after
the hour in the Eastern time zone. You got about
twenty four minutes to be back to work by eight o'clock.
The FBI is opening probes into a number of high
profile unsolved cases, not the least of which is the
cocaine found at the White House during the Biden administration.
Was it Hunters? Was it the Vice President's Who's was it?
(16:58):
Why was it never investigated? Why don't we know? And
with all the fingers pointing to both Jill's over involvement
behind the auto pen and empty presidency, there's been a
lot of talk about Hunter being around a lot and
that explained the cocaine.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So it'll be interest to see how this plays out.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
US Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff says the ceasefire hostage deal
is on the table and he's urging Hamas to accept it.
President Trump is thinking about taking funding for Harvard and
getting it to trade schools. And the thunder are up
commandingly now three games to one over the Tea Wolves
heading home to Oklahoma City where they can close things out.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Guess what time it is?
Speaker 15 (17:38):
Ah always revealing off, entertaining, we will win, We we list.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Even doesn't make even cho.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Well, I think you will be. It's time for sounds
the day. Well, here's President Trump speaking at the Memorial
Day ceremony at Arlington Cemetery, and I always love the
moments when I can see he goes off teleprompter, because
that's usually we're out of the abundance of the heart.
The president truly speaks, and well, here's a really interesting moment.
(18:20):
I have often said, I don't think Donald Trump could
have had a second term this meaningful, impactful, and revolutionary
had it succeeded his first term.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
He like John F.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Kennedy or the two presidents I think were never supposed
to happen, which make them very significant. One was assassinated
and not given the chance to have a second term.
One was assassinated, but they didn't succeed, and he lived
and he won the character persecution.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Law. Fair to make history, But how would the president?
What would his.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Perspective be about the four year interruption that came up
at Arlington?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Listen, I have a big celebration, as you know, two
hundred and fifty years. In some ways, I'm glad I
missed that second term where it was because.
Speaker 16 (19:16):
I wouldn't be your president for that most important of all.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
In addition, we have the World Cup and we have
the Olympics. Can you imagine I missed that four years
and now look what I have I have everything amazing
the way things work out.
Speaker 16 (19:37):
God did that. I believe that too, God.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
David, God did it. Love it.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Later he talked towards the end of the speech, and
I thought this was a beautiful clip to play.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Listen in any quarner of the cemetery, at any resting
place for our war dead, anywhere on Earth, you'll find
untold stories of equal heroism and heartbreak, unmatched patriotism and devotion,
and acts of selflessness and courage so enormous they defy comprehension.
Speaker 16 (20:16):
Most people can't even imagine it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Great poets have written that it's love which moves the
sun and the stars. But here on the sacred soil,
right where we are, we're reminded that it's love which
moves the course of history, and moves it always forward, freedom, always,
From Bunker Hill to Best Owned, to Cantonye to Coralcy,
(20:40):
from Gettysburg to Guadalcanal and Concord to Cabul. America's best
and America's bravest have fought, bled and died so that
we could pick up the torch of liberty, raise it high,
high high, and carry it onward to places they could
never have dreamed of before. Today, we honor their memory,
(21:04):
we remember their gallantry, just revere in the highest sense.
We just revere their incredible legacy. We salute them in
their eternal and everlasting glory. And we continue our relentless
pursuit of America's destiny as we make our nation stronger.
Speaker 16 (21:25):
Prouder, freer, and greater than ever before.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
May God bless our fallen hero May God bless our
gold star families.
Speaker 16 (21:36):
And may God bless the United States of America. Thank
you very much, everybody.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Donald Trump with the Memorial Days celebration at Arlington Cemetery yesterday,
just Trump being president? All right, what about the presidency?
That didn't really happen. Actually, you know, we constantly hear
from Jake Tapper. He was just one of the authors.
The other author is Alex Thompson from Axios. The book
(22:06):
is called Original Sin. And here he is on a
CNN talk show and I don't know, if I can't,
I'll let you listen. Is this host trying to brush
everything off, and he's saying, you know, I'm not seeing
any specifics as to you know, you never hear anybody's
(22:29):
cite a specific thing that the president failed at if
his cognitive ability was so bad, what was.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The blown deal?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
And so Alex Thompson just starts his list a few things.
Speaker 14 (22:42):
Members of the cabinet believe that because of Biden's age,
that senior people in the administration, people like Ron Klaine,
were able to steer the Biden administration more to the
left of where Biden had been for most of his career.
We have Senator Mark Warner in the book Democratic Virginia
saying that he during a foreign policy national security conversation,
(23:04):
they believed that Biden was not really up to snuff
on all the issues. We also have Senator Michael Bennett
of Colorado, a Democrat, also probably running for governor, believing
that Biden's age made him unable to handle the immigration
portfolio and all the factions of the Democratic Party which
led to such incoherence with the border and immigration policies.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of this country.
Speaker 14 (23:25):
Now that Biden people can disagree, but these are senior
Democrats in the administration and in the Senate, where Joe
Biden served for thirty six years, that just disagree.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Now again, when we were saying all this in real time,
people like Jake Tapperoxhommes, they were all carrying the torch
of hiding. This I said during COVID, COVID revealed more
(23:55):
than it actually did. You want to see how to
do we are as a nation, look at COVID. You
want to see how dependent we become on government? Look
at COVID. It revealed so much more. The level of
compliance and ignorance and blind trust that's all lost. Now
(24:20):
on how you get it back, I don't know. But
who wouldn't look at faking a presidency as worse than
January sixth? I mean, if you care about democracy, it
isn't faking a precedency and covering up a fake presidency?
(24:42):
Isn't that a threat to democracy? I mean, for goodness sakes,
isn't that worse than Watergate? Well, Jake Tapper was on
Peers Morgan, listen, this.
Speaker 17 (24:53):
Brings me to your conclusion which said, Joe Biden is
not Richard Nixon. The hiding and the cover up of
his deterioration is not Watergate. I'm not entirely sure I
agree Jake with that conclusion.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Next, the next line is the next The next line
is it is an.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Entirely separate scandal. It is a scandal. Yes, it is
it is. It is.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
It is without question, and maybe even worse than Watergate
in some way, right because Richard Nixon was in control
of his faculties when he wasn't drinking. And you know,
so the idea that yeah, we don't, we don't mean
to exonerate. We just the only reason that we have
the Watergate thing is there because we quote Archibald Cox,
who was a Watergate investigator, talking about how powerful the
(25:40):
presidency is and how presidents get surrounded by people who
have a vested interest in keeping that president propped up.
So that's the only reason we invoke Watergate is just
to make clear like, it's not Watergate. This is an
entirely separate scandal, maybe even worse.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Maybe.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
An illegitimate election where you weaponize COVID changed election laws
without going through any state legislatures in order to harvest
ballots to steal swing districts of swing precincts of swing
states to steer an election, and then you hide a
cognitively impaired man like the movie Dave for four years.
(26:20):
You want to compare that to the Nixon presidency, a
break in and a runaway landslide election and the stupid
idea of covering it up. You got cover up and
a fake presidency. This one falls under why are the
(26:40):
Democrats in such a bad place? Because the biggest reality,
and I think a lot of Americans, I don't know
what the percentage is, but if it was sixty two
percent of America had the eyes to see, in the
ears to hear, and the willingness to be realistic, they knew.
(27:04):
I mean, just go back and watch the old footage
of Jill leading him around him lost as you know,
how to get off stage. Who didn't know he was
cognitively out of it? We all did, but now we
all do. And so the big story is they faked
a presidency with a cognitively impaired probably memory care nursing
home patient. That's where they're getting power away from Trump
(27:30):
and back to them.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Led them kind.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Of like somebody that's just trying to lie their way
out of lies.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
He ended up in some pretty ridiculous places.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So while everybody's talking about the age incompetence and cognitive
impairment and cover up of Joe Biden, was Jasmine Crockett
talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
The president's cognitive ability.
Speaker 18 (27:57):
We as a country deserve better and Frankly, if you
are going to ever be seen as the world leaders
that we historically have been, the world deserves better. It
is time for Republicans to start calling him out and
start questioning his mental acuity and whether or not he
is equipped to serve. Mentally, we know when it comes
down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve.
(28:20):
But this is just absolutely deplorable.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Well bigger than a giraffe comes to mind. Can I
give the end of the Sounds of the Day to
Megan Kelly? This is just too sweet of a moment,
especially whenever whenever somebody reveals the ridiculousness of sixty minutes, sixty.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Minutes gets rolled around.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
First of all, it doesn't even have the esteem it
used to, but they like to roll it around, and
they did fauci, you know, like a whole foremost authority
sixty minutes. So here's Megan kell covering the wake Forest
University and doctrination and commencement address by Scott Pelly.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Listen, oh, Scott Pelly.
Speaker 19 (29:08):
We can't leave this subject without showing you Scott Pelly
at wake Forest.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I don't know why wake Forest.
Speaker 19 (29:13):
Would invite Scott Pelly and sick him on their graduates
with as you accurately.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
By the way, I got to ask read something real quick.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
You have pre listened to all this right, because Megan
is not the Meghan from Fox. She's got some favorite ords.
Are you sure there's nothing? I'm pretty sure. You're pretty sure?
Speaker 19 (29:31):
Wit Now, I've never heard it said right like you
did Lockjaw. He does beach crackdowns that we suffered during
COVID under Joe Biden right when he took over, and
how we got censored if we said try iromectin or
hydroxychloroquin right, or if you said COVID started in a
lab and it wasn't natural.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Origin, or where are all the you know, vice presidents
of programming and CEOs of all these companies that issued
emails and dictates. You do anything to discourage somebody from
getting it COVID vaccine, you'll be fired. You never hear
anything about that.
Speaker 19 (30:11):
If you said it's causing serious side effects like myrocarditis.
All of the crackdowns right that we've had on free speech,
the disinformation doesn't where they actively work with social media
to censor regular Americans.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Where the sick the FBI on parents.
Speaker 19 (30:25):
Said school board meetings if they were saying the wrong things.
And now now is the time Scott Pelly would like
to throw a word out there for free speech and
listen to him do it.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred
rule of law is underattack. Journalism is underattack, universities are
under attack, freedom of speech is underattack.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
And in city sphere is reaching.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Through our schools, our businesses, our homes and into our
private faults.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I mean, Scott Pelly and Jasmine Crockett, I mean, how
do you get that out of touch with the American people.
They're not under attack. They've lost all credibility. They did
it to themselves. They've made their bed. I wish they'd
just go to sleep in it.
Speaker 15 (31:34):
There sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Chrono. These
are your top five stories.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
President Trump thinking about taking some of that money that
would have gone to Harvard and giving it to trade schools.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
In a post on truth Social Monday morning, Trump said,
I am considering taking three billion dollars of grant money
away from a very anti Semitic Harvard and giving it
to trade schools all across our land.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
In another post.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
Trump also said the government is waiting for Harvard to
provide them with foreign student lists so they can determine
how many of them should not be let back into
the country. The Trump administration revoke Harvard's ability to enroll
foreign students, a move that was later temporarily blocked by
a federal judge on Monday. Trump's that have no fear
the government will in the end win. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Well, we definitely need some nurses. A new study ranks
Utah as the state with the worst nursing shortage in
the country. Tammy Triheo has to tails.
Speaker 13 (32:27):
The study found that Utah has just over thirteen hundred
nurses per one hundred thousand residents. The national average is
twenty fifty seven per one thousand people. To report used
data from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Utah was directly followed on the list by Washington, Georgia,
at Wyoming and Maryland. I'm Tammy Triheo.
