Speaker 2 (00:27):
Your Morning Show with Michael, Bill Trana.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Ready or not? The week is almost over. It's Friday,
already August, the eighth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.
On the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show. I'm Michael del Chorno. The President says,
both Putin an Zelinsky are ready to talk, and it's time.
The deadline has arrived on that ceasefire without punishment. The
(00:51):
FAA says it plans to end eighty nine hundred air
traffic control jobs in the next three years. I don't
think we're aged out of all of them, there is
an age require did you look into that or were
you just joking? What is the agent? Well, eyesight would
probably do me and redd in any way. Uh, And
the northern part of the country is said to deal
(01:11):
with some severe thunderstorms over the next couple of days. Well,
there are mixed results about what's next for the economy.
You have a lot of business leaders who are very
confident about the future, others not so confident and only
slightly negative. I guess it all depends on what we
do in the future with these plans that have been
put in place. But let's ask our national correspondent Roy
(01:32):
O'Neil what the summarization of these mixed reviews was.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
This is the good morning. This is the Conference Board report.
By the way, I think it, fifty nine is the
mandatory retirement age.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I believe. Okay, you notice none of my staff answers me.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, well, you know it's fifty They're all listening to.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The Morning Shot boot camp. He's been extending.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, they've been trying to extend it for a few
years to try to add onto it, and that might
be something to look at longer term. Anyway, Conference Board
so they're out with their quarterly survey. It's interesting because
after the Liberation Day announcements of the tariffs, there was
a lot of uncertainty out there.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We saw the markets go down a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Confidence even among CEOs dropped significantly. But at the same
time as the markets have rebounded, you've seen it a
big surge in that confidence as well. Still they're calling
it cautious optimism. These days, a third of CEOs expect
economic conditions to worsen over the next six months, but
for the second quarter of this year that number was
(02:36):
sixty four percent, So you can see there's quite a
bit more optimism, if not thinking that things are going
to go gangbusters for the rest of the year, at
least thinking that things are going to be a bit
more stable.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And that's about where it should be, don't you think,
I mean knowing that you only have a framework with China,
there's some uncertainty with Brazil quart frankly, there's uncertainty with Canada.
So you don't really have your tariff done deals done yet.
You don't know if people are going to stick to them.
We don't know what the effect's going to be of
how those revenues are going to get passed on in
terms of expense to people, and then it takes time
(03:10):
for the job creation. So that's not a knock against
Donald Trump. Somebody's got to start the direction, but yeah,
it's gonna take a while to arrive.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
But by the way, slow and steady also wins the race, right,
So you know, if we have two and a half
percent growth and humming along, then maybe we should be
acknowledged that that's a pretty good thing too. But again,
we've heard this a thousand times that CEOs in particular,
they just want predictability, and right now around in April,
there was no predictability. But now it seems that as
(03:42):
these frameworks at least are coming together, we're getting a
better handle as to what the economy may look like
for the rest of the year. The one red flag
that should be noted in this report was that for
the first time since twenty twenty, more CEOs say they
plan to downsize their workforce. About a third of them
said that rather than expanded. Only about a quarter of
them said they were expanding. That's the first time we've
(04:02):
seen that upside down like that in about five years.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We both had a good day with the boss. I
can tell because I ended up getting I ended up
getting Poughkeepsie, New York on the Hudson River. And you're
coming back in the third hour to discuss how hard
it is to find the NFL on any given Sunday, Monday.
I went Thursday. Yeah, in fact, I experienced a little
(04:26):
bit of that last night. We're'be back in the third hour.
Great reporting, Rory, all right. David Zanati is our senior contributor.
He is the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host
of The Public Square. We did something in the Platinum
our shameless plug. You can go listen to the first
hour of the podcast. It'll be up by nine Central
ten Eastern. And we just kind of combined the state
(04:47):
legislators from Texas who have nothing to do with the
federal government, nothing to do on the national scene, and
they're hiding in Illinois and Boston and all these states
who are the kings of actual Jerry Manderin. Then we
combine that with the report in the New York Post
from aides who work for Jasmine Crockett that she's nothing
(05:08):
but a diva. She's rarely at work, and when she is,
she's abusive to James Carvel, who basically is saying we
need to add states, we need to expand the Supreme Court.
If we're going to save democracy. That is code word
for saving the Democrat Party, which they were never intended
to do. And that's kind of where we find ourselves.
Although I think the veil has been lifted and the
(05:30):
farce has been outed. But people aren't representing their district.
They're not serving their district. They're plotting their own careers
and their own party's success, and most of them are
cast like by Hollywood agents rather than really public servants.
But I sent something different in the air that they're
(05:52):
not getting away with.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
It like they used to. What a great analysis. Good morning, Michael,
fancial opportunity to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well I didn't have a week off yet. Sorry, I'm David.
Just got back from very important meetings in the Rockies.
Go ahead, Well, it was interesting being in the Rockies. Yeah,
let's go back to Eric Holder and Barack Obama.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
They are the masters of the plot to redistrict America
to shift the power to the Democrat power brokers. And
who are those people? Are they some group of ideologues
sitting up in the Rocky Mountains, contemplating what's best for
the world, what's best for America. No, they're a bunch
of power grubbing multi millionaires in Washington, d C. Or
(06:40):
career politicians. And they're not just Republicans or Democrats. Excuse me,
not just Democrats.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The Republicans do.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
The party powers are dangerous to the Republic. So when
people start talking about saving democracy. Look, I can't believe
they still think that everyone's so stupid that we believe
that line.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But they well, they have a core of idiots that do,
so they're going to keep using it. But yeah, it's
not it's not a game changer, it's not. It's not
a strategy by any means.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I'm like a guy who's backed into a corner and
has no options left. Yeah, that's I mean, he's made
his whole life gaining income and revenue off of pushing
around the powerful bife. But with his ideology and his
his rhetoric and his supposed political genius, now he's backed
into a corner.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Where's he going to go? Yeah? I try not to
bring this up very often because I often feel the
tug to write a book about it. But we were
never intended to be a two party system. Our founding
fathers would have encouraged you greatly to avoid this, because
what we've been living with, this two party stranglehold, has
done nothing but create distraction and division. And then when
(07:49):
you add that to a one party media that, thank god,
is finally outed and dying, you have creating distraction and divide,
and then the media creating confusion and mistrust. And but
that sends the people into because they're busy living lives.
I mean, you know, much of my day is taken
up by sleep and then exercise, and then marriage, and
then fatherhood and then sonship. I mean, you know, we're
(08:12):
all busy living, and so what we do is we
default to focus on the presidency and give it too
much power and too much authority. And that's bad too.
But all the while, these powerful elite that David's describing,
they're really targeting and controlling Congress, and they're casting these
people like Hollywood, you know, good guys and bad guys,
(08:34):
and all we are in the end is his slaves
and picking up the tab for this nonsense. Well, we've
been talking about this four years.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
It's all about Congress, and right now It's interesting because
the veil is being pulled back more and more and more,
and we see the behind the scenes, even the most
powerful people, the president, the presidential advisors. In the Obama era.
Again we go back to Eric Holder. Study Eric Holder.
He is the master of redistricting. He is the master
of gerrymandering. He's been the lawyer and the and and
(09:07):
the ideologue that's been holding the agenda solid and keeping
people on track. Control the houses, control the number of
House seats, control the Senate. So when carvill says we've
got to make Puerto Rico and Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
States what why Well, one would be unconstitutional, But but.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
But why why does it have to happen because they
want four more seats in the sense, Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It's all about them. It's not about America. Nobody's solving problems,
nobody's representing, nobody's serving.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
They're playing a board games of nothing but pure blatant
power and control. And I say, well, okay, what's their agenda. Look,
they've got a lot of agenda points both sides, but
the one thing that makes them identical is they want
control of the money. That's where the power lies. People
have no idea that how many trillions and trillions of
(09:58):
dollars are divided up every single year by the people
who control the parties who control the House of the Senate. Michael,
it's say, another world supporting you. I can't understand why
people get so discouraged and so frustrated this, So let's
just tank the whole thing and start over. Well, no,
let's go back to what was working and throw these
knuckleheads out, which.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think America is awakening to. I mean I actually
see some very much. So you know, I made a
statement five years ago, I said I think by the
end of the decade, one or both parties will be gone.
We're going to do this next half hour. But when
we go over the numbers of Jdvans, it's clearly going
to be a clean handoff. And then there's eight years
of Jdavans, and then after Jdvance there might be eight
years of Marco Rubio or Pete Hagsat or whomever. So
(10:40):
you could be looking at again. I'm anti two party system,
but this is different. This isn't your old establishment Republican party.
And if they botch this handoff, they'll fall too, because
nobody's interested in them either any more than Democrats. But
I do see the next decade, which is the formidable
years for my children beginning their career, that the two
(11:01):
party systems stranglehold and all the division and confusion that
goes with it is coming to an end. You know,
we're going to go through this one by one. I
did it the best I could without you yesterday and
explaining how our founding fathers set this up. And as
population grows, you know, you can't just have it a
(11:23):
district just have one hundred thousand more people in it,
because that wouldn't be fair. You can't serve one hundred
thousand more people. Plus it should be split and redrawn
into districts. So if you have less people living in
a state, you have less representatives in Washington in the House,
because that's where populace is represented. If you have more,
you have more. When you look at this and it
(11:44):
seems so partisan, but it's not. It's the one person
really trying to solve the problem. Stop counting illegals in
census and focusing on these redistricting and jerrymandering. This is
key to a lot of the shadow campaign tools that
allow them to steal elections.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Well, and they'll try to get you every time when
you start talking about the whole concept of the census
and not counting persons, and they'll try instantly to play
the race game. We're not talking about that situation. What
we're talking about is people who are here illegally. They
have broken the law. They are criminals, they are not citizens.
They're being counted in the census and therefore gaining more
(12:26):
funding and political power to a.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
District based on illegal representation. And that's why they've had
open borders and that's why they've been moving them strategically
into swing states. On You're saying that for twenty years,
and no kidding, I'm sick of saying it, But I
mean the laughable part about it. Could I claim in
my taxes the guy who robbed my house as a dependent?
Of course not, but yeah, they don't. They're not citizens.
(12:52):
They shouldn't be counted because when you're counting them.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Riddles you just put up was so profound it went
right past you see that again slowly. Could I claim
that defended the person who robbed my house? I depended, Yeah,
right at my house. He was in my house illegally.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But I'm gonna go ahead and get the right off and claim
him as a dependent.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
You know, come on, now, they'll go back and say, well, now,
wait a minute, that's that's all.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's all you all talked about. Slavery. Those persons a
whole different subject as they're building a class of slaves
and thinking it's noble. Yeah, a whole different subject altogether.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
So that we're on to them, and again, having been
away for a few days, tells me how much I
miss being with you guys.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I missed you. But when we come back, you know,
Donald Trump approaches two hundred days and a lot of
experts are throwing them at around big things. But I
gotta agree with him. This guy's been transformative and what
he's gotten done in the first two hundred days is
of historic nature.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is your morning show with Michael Dale Chuano.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's go
to Florida and Ken Michael.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
I was air traffic drow with for twenty four years.
There was the requirement to be hired before your thirty
first birthday and retired by age fifty six. That's something
pac CO established with the FAA in the nineteen seventies,
have a great day listening to your show.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh, thank you and thank you for your service. Yeah,
so you had to be hired before thirty one and
retired by fifty six. But one of the big announcements
is the FAA is planning to hire eighty nine hundred
air traffic controllers over the next three years to address
that shortage. Show we're visiting with David Sanatti. He is
our senior contributor and always has his own podcast with Red.
(14:32):
During the commercial break, you guys are kicking around some
really interesting things. Reds bring up the frustration and the
dysfunction of the two party system and how we've kind
of evolved from my guests working together, and he used
Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan as the example too divided
to what is now absolutely dysfunctional and a disservice. Quite frankly,
(14:54):
but when we talk about a two party system never intended,
we mean in totality, but out of everything you guys
were talking about when you brought up Lincoln and you
reminded him that you know that this two party system
is a modern history problem. Lincoln, of course came as
a third party candidate and one it begs the question,
(15:17):
does Donald Trump, in this handoff with jd. Vance, would
have behooved them to do it as a new party,
because you would leave the Republicans. I mean, who would
be excited about being establishment Republican party. The Democrats would
be near death, the Republicans would be near death, and
you would launch an American Party. I mean it would.
(15:39):
I don't know if Donald Trump, and we're going to
explore this next half hour in this two hundred days,
if he's some kind of absolute historic figure, begs the
question if like Lincoln, he should start a party and
in doing so put the final nail in the coffin
of both parties, thus making the Great Nose to del
Jorno accurate. One or both parties would be gone by
the end of the decade, after all. That's all I'm
(16:01):
shamelessly for you, guys chew on that don't have another
talk show behind my back, especially one that's better than
the one we're doing. And your morning show will continue momentarily.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
There, I'm Kenny Stevens and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael Ballgown up.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O 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
if you missed, and I'm trying to think, we had
(16:42):
some amazing, amazing journeys of discovery and discussions this week,
and interviews. I think if I had to pull one
out of my hat, and I did get an email
from a listener who really appreciated it. Our weekly visit
with David Bondson this week was one for the record books.
I mean him explaining how job reports are done and
adjusted and what's broken about them. Probably the President was
(17:06):
being a little more apprentice than presidential in that firing.
But you missed anything this week, you can catch up
this weekend. The podcast will be available. You can find
the podcast link at our new website, which, if you
haven't checked it out, is wonderful your morning show online
dot com. But anything you missed this week, you didn't
really miss catch up with the podcast, all right. A
(17:26):
lot of activity at the White House. Hey, the president
was even a bone a roof. But deadline was coming
with Russia and things started to break, and the President
announced from the Oval Office that both Putin and Zelensky
are ready to talk. And I think that's wonderful news.
Our White House correspondent John Decker wasn't far off. I
(17:46):
bet you were eavesdropping with a ear to the wall
when that happened. This is a very good sign. Now
we don't know how the talks are going to go,
but at least they're willing to talk. That was the
first hurdle we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Look, you know, I think we're putting the cart before
the horse. There's still no indication as to when talks
would take place between President Trump and or if talks
will take place between Trump and Putin, or where those
talks will take place. So I think that when that happens,
let's talk about it. But to me right now, it
(18:22):
seems pie in the sky. I hope it happens. I
hope that war comes to an end, and I hope
that you know, Ukraine remains a democratic country.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But as things.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Stand right now, the President, as you know, once this
as a last gasp effort.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
To bring peace to that region of the world. So
if there isn't talks and they can't figure out where,
and they can't figure out when, and they can't figure
out home, and we don't know yet what the demands
are going to be, you're going to get some really
stiff sanctions and continued. Don't forget India is the first
of many. Anyone doing business with Russia will also be penalized.
(19:03):
It's really going to isolate them. I think people's sense
and I hope Putin does too, a level of sanctions
like we haven't seen in the past. We're serious about them,
and they'll be enforced seriously. So there is.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
That Well, look, you know, India is the first country
and the only country by the way, that's been hit
with these secondary tariffs.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
China has not.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
And China is actually the largest purchaser of Russian.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Oil in the world.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
They get eighty percent eighty percent of their energy needs
from Russia. And will the president pull the trigger and
in applying secondary tariffs on China that remains to be seen.
There are other countries as well, including, by the way,
some European countries.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Energy needs are very.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Important to Hungary and they get a substantial part of
their energy needs from Russia as well, so.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
There could be some picking and choosing of winners and losers.
You're right, it's all kind of tied together because at
that point, if you do slap China, there goes your
tiff framework deal with one of the largest providers of imports.
All right, and then of course we've got what's happening
in the Middle East. You know, you'll hear people kick
(20:15):
around the analogy John of well, we can't leave Hamas
in the Palestinian territory any more than we could have
left Nazi Germany and Germany after the war. You're just
asking for another one. But that's not how it's probably
going to be received. I kind of wanted to see
the Arab nations get more involved in this and Israel
and America be less involved with this. It might be
trusted better, policed better. But this is this is the
(20:39):
actual Russian of the Israeli government deciding we're going to
go in. We think we can get the hostages and
we can root out Hamas and they're never welcome to
come back again. That'll be interesting to see how that
plays out.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Well, it will be The President asked about that within
the past forty eight hours, and essentially he said.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
This is up to Israel.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
This up to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who's not
going to intervene in this matter. He's not going to
weigh in and say hold off on that, let's wait. Instead,
he's going to let the Israeli government do what's in
the best security interest for Israel. And this is the
reason why they're.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Going down this route. Whatever happened to the riviera of
the Middle East.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
John Tacker, whatever happened to that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Exactly? See, I did it so they can hate me
and not you. John Degger, white OF's correspondent, You have
a great weekend. We'll talk again, Sue. Thanks a lot.
Michael Bae Bye, You got it. Forty minutes after the hour,
David Sinati's joining us. I want to get right into
this fast and furious. The big picture. We kind of
talked about the two party system and the dysfunction. What
(21:42):
do you make of my comment that not only does
it look like and I'm going to break that down
in sounds of the day, the handoff is clearly going
to be to JD. Bands. He is the heir apparent
for Trump, isn't moving forward? Should it be the name
of a new party.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
It's a very innovative question because it you have to
look at what precedes it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And that's the fact that Donald Trump wasn't just an outsider.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Beginning in twenty sixteen, he brought together a coalition of
voters that have been outside for a long time. What
most people will not look at and the politicians will
never talk about. I don't care whether you're Carvel or
who it is. From the left to the right to
the center. You won't hear it on Fox News. You
won't hear it on CNN. And it's because the political
(22:25):
parties pay a lot of bills to the media.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's like, what it's wake, why we'll never going to
see anthing with the pharmaceutical companies.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Have you watched television lately? Yes, and they hold a
lot of power. Right, It's without a doubt it is
a cabal. Trump was outside the cabal. You look at
the state voting registration. When we started in this organization
forty five years ago, Florida, for example, was a d
R state. You had to declare a voter registration. The
number of non affiliated or independence was minuscule. Today it's
(22:53):
over twenty five percent, tip trending to thirty Ohio Key state.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Sixty percent of the people who.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Vote in presidential election are not registered as Democrats or Republicans.
This has been a growing disenfranchisement with the American people.
But the party power brokers don't want that to happen.
The polling companies don't want that. They happened. Trump did it.
He absolutely, He's been a party unto himself. Can I
speak a language, you'll understand, i'ma speak a language.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You can understand. They absorbed the tea Party movement and
destroyed the tea party movement by absorbing it. They're going
to try establishment Republicans are going to try to absorb Trump,
isn't They're gonna fail miserably doing it. And if I
ask you the reverse question, which is what is the
Republican Party after Donald Trump? What was it before him?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
So?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I mean, so, why not just do Lincoln's playbook? You
don't need a third term. When you hand off to JD.
Vance and Marco Ruvio, you do so in the name
of the new blank Party. Let's talk when let's let's
talk to an old story.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
What was the Republican Party in the days of Bob Dole,
who endlessly spoke a third person. I can remember when
Bob Dole was a war with the conservative part of
the Republican Party, and the conservative part of the Publican
Party got enough seats to control the platform.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Bob Dole the next day.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
After the convention, walked out and said of the morning
news shows, I'm running for president.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't have to do with the platform. So he
said it out loud.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
All right, it's been a farce. It's been a fraud
since at least Bob Dole. So there's no question that
if they wanted to have the courage generationally to say
this is the direction we're going. But Michael, that's a
lot of hard work because if you make a statement
like that, you have to acknowledge the fact that the
political parties really don't do much.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
It's not about it's not about open borders. It's not
they're playing the old game of checkers, open borders, reposition
these illegals in order to steal swing states and steal
general elections. The bottom line is the Democrat Party has
morphed into a so socialist party and an establishment Democrat
Party and now the birthing of an Islamist party, the
Republican Party. Establishment wise is irrelevant and dead. All that
(25:10):
is alive is this merger of Reagan Revolution trump Ism.
If they split off, I don't see a future whether
they're not both demised. It's just a matter why wait
for the slow death? Why not embrace it and break
off now? Well?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
And the question is, will young leaders, and they don't
have to be young in age, be young inspirit. Will
new leaders rise up at the level of state legislative
races and county commissioners and basically say, you know, public
service is cool again, it's hip again. We had to
do something for our country and transport this thing from
the bottom up. That's the big change. Trump has had
(25:46):
a tremendous impact from the time and to.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Keep it pure moving forward, term limits all right. Closing
moments with David Sinadi, our senior correspondent Trump two hundred days.
This has been pretty remarkable. There's a lot that is
way to it. Does it does? It's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah, he gets a lot of work done in today
and the people around him are doing a tremendous job
working to keep up with him, and so I think
that everyone knows the country's in much better shape. Now,
we've got to be honest with ourselves here we're talking
about replacing Weekend with Bernie's With Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
There's a big difference. We were so desperate.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Will history look back and say, this was one of
America's weakest, most frightening moments when we had a cabal
of insiders controlling the White House with a president.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Who was non functional. That's a dangerous Can I close
with the Can I close with the all people? Frank
Lunce in the Daily Mail, They asked him about this
what but no, but I can't stomach him. But watch
this quote. It's brilliant. John Kennedy getting elected in nineteen
sixty was a big deal, but nothing compared to what
Donald Trump has done in the first two hundred days.
He really has remade the governing process. Trump is reset
(26:58):
what is acceptable and American politics. It's not that he
played the game better. He changed the game. He changed
the world. We've never had anyone like him.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I do. And by the way, my gut tells me,
I think that Donald Trump. I do believe he loves Lincoln.
I do believe he loves Washington, but more recently, I
really think he's driven by the influenced by the John F.
Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, and I think he surpassed them
both both. I would be, along with the experts, clearly
(27:35):
the most significant president of the last ninety two years
or more. Well.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
And the grave danger is when he's off the stage,
what will come behind him? And if people don't step
up and take ownership of the changes that have been made,
they'll be swept out and the other guys will because
the other guys do this for a living.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
And what has done with the framework that he's left.
I mean, you know, all this revenue from these tariffs
that could be in control of the left, that could
just use it in a redistribution of I mean you could,
you could go right out the back.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Order that goes on and on. Yeah, there's if you
If what's left in his wake is a vacuum, big trouble. Now,
will it be Vance, will it be Rubio? They've got six, eight, ten,
twelve great people. I would continue to say their best
move is Sarah Hackaby Sanders, because that's the one the
other side doesn't see coming.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All Right, and I will say this, if he can
get the peace deal done with Russia and Ukraine and
solve this Mid East problem without Hamas lingering to take
back control, it would have exceeded any of my first
year expectations. Yours. Well, they'll just say it took him
too long. Well, good to have you back. We missed you.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It's your morning show with Michael del Choano.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
We got the president off the roof. You are just
fifteen minutes away from Friday with forty seven and they
want a busy wee gets back all right. The Israeli
security captain and has approved a full military takeover of
the Gaza strip Mark Mayfield as our top story.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Ntnyaho says a majority
of his security cabinet back to his proposal early Friday
to begin the gradual military takeover of the Palestinian territory,
beginning with Gaza City. A statement from the Prime Minister
says the goal of the takeover is to achieve a
decisive victory over Hamas and the return of all the hostages.
The statement said the takeover plan would allow for the
(29:21):
provision of humanitarian aid to civilians outside the combat zones.
There is no mention of when the takeover would begin.
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Well. The FBI is firing its former acting director, Brian
Schuck has more.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
According to multiple reports, Brian Driscoll, who led the Bureau
at the start of the Trump administration, was asked to
leave by Friday. Driscoll has been viewed as a champion
of the bureau's rank and file staff. After declining to
turn over a list of agents who worked on January sixth, cases,
he penned a final note to staff explaining that he
was not given a reason for his removal.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I'm Brian shuk Well. President Trump says Russian President Vladimir
pol would like to meet with him. Speaking from the
Oval Office, Trump said both Putin and Zelenski want to
meet with him. It's just a matter of when and where.
As the ceasefire deadline approaches, the President said he wants
this war to stop. They would like to meet.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
With me, and I'll do whatever I can to stop
the killing.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
His main motivation, too many people dying.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Last month, they lost fourteen thousand people killed it last month.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Every week is four or five thousand people. Former Governor
Andrew Cuomo who's running for New York City mayor, is
denying having any phone conversations with President Trump about the
mayor's race. I've never spoken to him about the mayor's race.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
At a hastily cult news conference on Thursday afternoon, Cuomo
said he doesn't remember the last time he spoke with Trump.
This after The New York Times reported a phone call
on Wednesday and Zora and Mom Donnie bash Cuomo on
the campaign trail.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
New Yorkers do not want a mayor who is working
in tandem with the president to subvert the will of
the people of this city.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Cuomo didn't react to that, instead slamming Mayor Eric Adams.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You have Mayor Adams who's running who is a wholly
owned subsidiary of President Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler. You know, at some point New
York really doesn't have any choices, do they. President Trump
is ordering colleges across the US to share admissions data,
including information on student diversity.
Speaker 11 (31:25):
Trump signed to presidential memorandum on Thursday requiring colleges and
universities to submit the expanded data to the US Department
of Education. The memo claims the lack of available admissions
data from universities, compaired with the rampant use of diversity statements,
raises concerns about whether race is considered in admissions. After
the memos release, Education Secretary lind At McMahon said they
(31:47):
will now begin collecting admissions data disaggregated by race and sex.
I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Metallica is neither confirming or denying the rumors that they're
going to play them Las Vegas Sphere in the very
near future. As Drummer said, they're big fans of Las
Vegas Sphere and they're considering it at some point when
the twenty twenty six tour is done. Metallica's M seventy
two world tour will wrap up in July of twenty
(32:15):
twenty six. Speaking of wrapping up, you'll always find my
wife or wrapped up with doos our cat. But they're
just celebrating today. It's International Cat Day.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
The day is said to raise awareness about how cool
cats are. They have power jumping abilities, they knock stuff
over and we're okay with it, and nap about sixteen
hours a day. It's a coveted life and they aren't
just cute. The College of Veterinary medicine at Cornell University
says pettying a cat for ten minutes reduces stress and
anxiety in humans. No doubt, there's a cat waiting for
(32:46):
you at a local animal shelter.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Maybe you take a peek. I'm pre Tennis. We got
our dumpster cat from the animal shelter, skyrocketed the number
one cat in the house. Alf looks. It looks a
little half kangaroo to me and likes meat. Lovely.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindel Jorno
Hey, it's me Michael. You can listen to your morning
show live on the air or streaming live on your
iHeart app Monday through Friday from three to six Pacific,
five to eighth Central, and six to nine Eastern on
great radio stations like Talk six fifty KSTE and Sacramento
or one oh four nine The Patriot in Saint Louis
and Impact Radio one oh five nine and twelve fifty
whd Z in Tampa, Florida. Sure, hope you can join
(00:22):
us live and make us a part of your morning routine.
In the meantime, enjoy the podcast, This is.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Your Morning Show with Michael, Bill Trana.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Ready or not? The week is almost over. It's Friday,
already August, the eighth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.
On the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show. I'm Michael del Chorno. The President says,
both Putin an Zelinsky are ready to talk, and it's time.
The deadline has arrived on that ceasefire without punishment. The
(00:51):
FAA says it plans to end eighty nine hundred air
traffic control jobs in the next three years. I don't
think we're aged out of all of them, there is
an age require did you look into that or were
you just joking? What is the agent? Well, eyesight would
probably do me and redd in any way. Uh, And
the northern part of the country is said to deal
(01:11):
with some severe thunderstorms over the next couple of days. Well,
there are mixed results about what's next for the economy.
You have a lot of business leaders who are very
confident about the future, others not so confident and only
slightly negative. I guess it all depends on what we
do in the future with these plans that have been
put in place. But let's ask our national correspondent Roy
(01:32):
O'Neil what the summarization of these mixed reviews was.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
This is the good morning. This is the Conference Board report.
By the way, I think it, fifty nine is the
mandatory retirement age.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I believe. Okay, you notice none of my staff answers me.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, well, you know it's fifty They're all listening to.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The Morning Shot boot camp. He's been extending.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, they've been trying to extend it for a few
years to try to add onto it, and that might
be something to look at longer term. Anyway, Conference Board
so they're out with their quarterly survey. It's interesting because
after the Liberation Day announcements of the tariffs, there was
a lot of uncertainty out there.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We saw the markets go down a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Confidence even among CEOs dropped significantly. But at the same
time as the markets have rebounded, you've seen it a
big surge in that confidence as well. Still they're calling
it cautious optimism. These days, a third of CEOs expect
economic conditions to worsen over the next six months, but
for the second quarter of this year that number was
(02:36):
sixty four percent, So you can see there's quite a
bit more optimism, if not thinking that things are going
to go gangbusters for the rest of the year, at
least thinking that things are going to be a bit
more stable.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And that's about where it should be, don't you think,
I mean knowing that you only have a framework with China,
there's some uncertainty with Brazil quart frankly, there's uncertainty with Canada.
So you don't really have your tariff done deals done yet.
You don't know if people are going to stick to them.
We don't know what the effect's going to be of
how those revenues are going to get passed on in
terms of expense to people, and then it takes time
(03:10):
for the job creation. So that's not a knock against
Donald Trump. Somebody's got to start the direction, but yeah,
it's gonna take a while to arrive.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
But by the way, slow and steady also wins the race, right,
So you know, if we have two and a half
percent growth and humming along, then maybe we should be
acknowledged that that's a pretty good thing too. But again,
we've heard this a thousand times that CEOs in particular,
they just want predictability, and right now around in April,
there was no predictability. But now it seems that as
(03:42):
these frameworks at least are coming together, we're getting a
better handle as to what the economy may look like
for the rest of the year. The one red flag
that should be noted in this report was that for
the first time since twenty twenty, more CEOs say they
plan to downsize their workforce. About a third of them
said that rather than expanded. Only about a quarter of
them said they were expanding. That's the first time we've
(04:02):
seen that upside down like that in about five years.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We both had a good day with the boss. I
can tell because I ended up getting I ended up
getting Poughkeepsie, New York on the Hudson River. And you're
coming back in the third hour to discuss how hard
it is to find the NFL on any given Sunday, Monday.
I went Thursday. Yeah, in fact, I experienced a little
(04:26):
bit of that last night. We're'be back in the third hour.
Great reporting, Rory, all right. David Zanati is our senior contributor.
He is the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host
of The Public Square. We did something in the Platinum
our shameless plug. You can go listen to the first
hour of the podcast. It'll be up by nine Central
ten Eastern. And we just kind of combined the state
(04:47):
legislators from Texas who have nothing to do with the
federal government, nothing to do on the national scene, and
they're hiding in Illinois and Boston and all these states
who are the kings of actual Jerry Manderin. Then we
combine that with the report in the New York Post
from aides who work for Jasmine Crockett that she's nothing
(05:08):
but a diva. She's rarely at work, and when she is,
she's abusive to James Carvel, who basically is saying we
need to add states, we need to expand the Supreme Court.
If we're going to save democracy. That is code word
for saving the Democrat Party, which they were never intended
to do. And that's kind of where we find ourselves.
Although I think the veil has been lifted and the
(05:30):
farce has been outed. But people aren't representing their district.
They're not serving their district. They're plotting their own careers
and their own party's success, and most of them are
cast like by Hollywood agents rather than really public servants.
But I sent something different in the air that they're
(05:52):
not getting away with.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
It like they used to. What a great analysis. Good morning, Michael,
fancial opportunity to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well I didn't have a week off yet. Sorry, I'm David.
Just got back from very important meetings in the Rockies.
Go ahead, Well, it was interesting being in the Rockies. Yeah,
let's go back to Eric Holder and Barack Obama.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
They are the masters of the plot to redistrict America
to shift the power to the Democrat power brokers. And
who are those people? Are they some group of ideologues
sitting up in the Rocky Mountains, contemplating what's best for
the world, what's best for America. No, they're a bunch
of power grubbing multi millionaires in Washington, d C. Or
(06:40):
career politicians. And they're not just Republicans or Democrats. Excuse me,
not just Democrats.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The Republicans do.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
The party powers are dangerous to the Republic. So when
people start talking about saving democracy. Look, I can't believe
they still think that everyone's so stupid that we believe
that line.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But they well, they have a core of idiots that do,
so they're going to keep using it. But yeah, it's
not it's not a game changer, it's not. It's not
a strategy by any means.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I'm like a guy who's backed into a corner and
has no options left. Yeah, that's I mean, he's made
his whole life gaining income and revenue off of pushing
around the powerful bife. But with his ideology and his
his rhetoric and his supposed political genius, now he's backed
into a corner.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Where's he going to go? Yeah? I try not to
bring this up very often because I often feel the
tug to write a book about it. But we were
never intended to be a two party system. Our founding
fathers would have encouraged you greatly to avoid this, because
what we've been living with, this two party stranglehold, has
done nothing but create distraction and division. And then when
(07:49):
you add that to a one party media that, thank god,
is finally outed and dying, you have creating distraction and divide,
and then the media creating confusion and mistrust. And but
that sends the people into because they're busy living lives.
I mean, you know, much of my day is taken
up by sleep and then exercise, and then marriage, and
then fatherhood and then sonship. I mean, you know, we're
(08:12):
all busy living, and so what we do is we
default to focus on the presidency and give it too
much power and too much authority. And that's bad too.
But all the while, these powerful elite that David's describing,
they're really targeting and controlling Congress, and they're casting these
people like Hollywood, you know, good guys and bad guys,
(08:34):
and all we are in the end is his slaves
and picking up the tab for this nonsense. Well, we've
been talking about this four years.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
It's all about Congress, and right now It's interesting because
the veil is being pulled back more and more and more,
and we see the behind the scenes, even the most
powerful people, the president, the presidential advisors. In the Obama era.
Again we go back to Eric Holder. Study Eric Holder.
He is the master of redistricting. He is the master
of gerrymandering. He's been the lawyer and the and and
(09:07):
the ideologue that's been holding the agenda solid and keeping
people on track. Control the houses, control the number of
House seats, control the Senate. So when carvill says we've
got to make Puerto Rico and Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
States what why Well, one would be unconstitutional, But but.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
But why why does it have to happen because they
want four more seats in the sense, Yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It's all about them. It's not about America. Nobody's solving problems,
nobody's representing, nobody's serving.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
They're playing a board games of nothing but pure blatant
power and control. And I say, well, okay, what's their agenda. Look,
they've got a lot of agenda points both sides, but
the one thing that makes them identical is they want
control of the money. That's where the power lies. People
have no idea that how many trillions and trillions of
(09:58):
dollars are divided up every single year by the people
who control the parties who control the House of the Senate. Michael,
it's say, another world supporting you. I can't understand why
people get so discouraged and so frustrated this, So let's
just tank the whole thing and start over. Well, no,
let's go back to what was working and throw these
knuckleheads out, which.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think America is awakening to. I mean I actually
see some very much. So you know, I made a
statement five years ago, I said I think by the
end of the decade, one or both parties will be gone.
We're going to do this next half hour. But when
we go over the numbers of Jdvans, it's clearly going
to be a clean handoff. And then there's eight years
of Jdavans, and then after Jdvance there might be eight
years of Marco Rubio or Pete Hagsat or whomever. So
(10:40):
you could be looking at again. I'm anti two party system,
but this is different. This isn't your old establishment Republican party.
And if they botch this handoff, they'll fall too, because
nobody's interested in them either any more than Democrats. But
I do see the next decade, which is the formidable
years for my children beginning their career, that the two
(11:01):
party systems stranglehold and all the division and confusion that
goes with it is coming to an end. You know,
we're going to go through this one by one. I
did it the best I could without you yesterday and
explaining how our founding fathers set this up. And as
population grows, you know, you can't just have it a
(11:23):
district just have one hundred thousand more people in it,
because that wouldn't be fair. You can't serve one hundred
thousand more people. Plus it should be split and redrawn
into districts. So if you have less people living in
a state, you have less representatives in Washington in the House,
because that's where populace is represented. If you have more,
you have more. When you look at this and it
(11:44):
seems so partisan, but it's not. It's the one person
really trying to solve the problem. Stop counting illegals in
census and focusing on these redistricting and jerrymandering. This is
key to a lot of the shadow campaign tools that
allow them to steal elections.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Well, and they'll try to get you every time when
you start talking about the whole concept of the census
and not counting persons, and they'll try instantly to play
the race game. We're not talking about that situation. What
we're talking about is people who are here illegally. They
have broken the law. They are criminals, they are not citizens.
They're being counted in the census and therefore gaining more
(12:26):
funding and political power to a.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
District based on illegal representation. And that's why they've had
open borders and that's why they've been moving them strategically
into swing states. On You're saying that for twenty years,
and no kidding, I'm sick of saying it, But I
mean the laughable part about it. Could I claim in
my taxes the guy who robbed my house as a dependent?
Of course not, but yeah, they don't. They're not citizens.
(12:52):
They shouldn't be counted because when you're counting them.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Riddles you just put up was so profound it went
right past you see that again slowly. Could I claim
that defended the person who robbed my house? I depended, Yeah,
right at my house. He was in my house illegally.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But I'm gonna go ahead and get the right off and claim
him as a dependent.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
You know, come on, now, they'll go back and say, well, now,
wait a minute, that's that's all.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's all you all talked about. Slavery. Those persons a
whole different subject as they're building a class of slaves
and thinking it's noble. Yeah, a whole different subject altogether.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
So that we're on to them, and again, having been
away for a few days, tells me how much I
miss being with you guys.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I missed you. But when we come back, you know,
Donald Trump approaches two hundred days and a lot of
experts are throwing them at around big things. But I
gotta agree with him. This guy's been transformative and what
he's gotten done in the first two hundred days is
of historic nature.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is your morning show with Michael Dale Chuano.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's go
to Florida and Ken Michael.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
I was air traffic drow with for twenty four years.
There was the requirement to be hired before your thirty
first birthday and retired by age fifty six. That's something
pac CO established with the FAA in the nineteen seventies,
have a great day listening to your show.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh, thank you and thank you for your service. Yeah,
so you had to be hired before thirty one and
retired by fifty six. But one of the big announcements
is the FAA is planning to hire eighty nine hundred
air traffic controllers over the next three years to address
that shortage. Show we're visiting with David Sanatti. He is
our senior contributor and always has his own podcast with Red.
(14:32):
During the commercial break, you guys are kicking around some
really interesting things. Reds bring up the frustration and the
dysfunction of the two party system and how we've kind
of evolved from my guests working together, and he used
Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan as the example too divided
to what is now absolutely dysfunctional and a disservice. Quite frankly,
(14:54):
but when we talk about a two party system never intended,
we mean in totality, but out of everything you guys
were talking about when you brought up Lincoln and you
reminded him that you know that this two party system
is a modern history problem. Lincoln, of course came as
a third party candidate and one it begs the question,
(15:17):
does Donald Trump, in this handoff with jd. Vance, would
have behooved them to do it as a new party,
because you would leave the Republicans. I mean, who would
be excited about being establishment Republican party. The Democrats would
be near death, the Republicans would be near death, and
you would launch an American Party. I mean it would.
(15:39):
I don't know if Donald Trump, and we're going to
explore this next half hour in this two hundred days,
if he's some kind of absolute historic figure, begs the
question if like Lincoln, he should start a party and
in doing so put the final nail in the coffin
of both parties, thus making the Great Nose to del
Jorno accurate. One or both parties would be gone by
the end of the decade, after all. That's all I'm
(16:01):
shamelessly for you, guys chew on that don't have another
talk show behind my back, especially one that's better than
the one we're doing. And your morning show will continue momentarily.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
There, I'm Kenny Stevens and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael Ballgown up.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O 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
if you missed, and I'm trying to think, we had
(16:42):
some amazing, amazing journeys of discovery and discussions this week,
and interviews. I think if I had to pull one
out of my hat, and I did get an email
from a listener who really appreciated it. Our weekly visit
with David Bondson this week was one for the record books.
I mean him explaining how job reports are done and
adjusted and what's broken about them. Probably the President was
(17:06):
being a little more apprentice than presidential in that firing.
But you missed anything this week, you can catch up
this weekend. The podcast will be available. You can find
the podcast link at our new website, which, if you
haven't checked it out, is wonderful your morning show online
dot com. But anything you missed this week, you didn't
really miss catch up with the podcast, all right. A
(17:26):
lot of activity at the White House. Hey, the president
was even a bone a roof. But deadline was coming
with Russia and things started to break, and the President
announced from the Oval Office that both Putin and Zelensky
are ready to talk. And I think that's wonderful news.
Our White House correspondent John Decker wasn't far off. I
(17:46):
bet you were eavesdropping with a ear to the wall
when that happened. This is a very good sign. Now
we don't know how the talks are going to go,
but at least they're willing to talk. That was the
first hurdle we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Look, you know, I think we're putting the cart before
the horse. There's still no indication as to when talks
would take place between President Trump and or if talks
will take place between Trump and Putin, or where those
talks will take place. So I think that when that happens,
let's talk about it. But to me right now, it
(18:22):
seems pie in the sky. I hope it happens. I
hope that war comes to an end, and I hope
that you know, Ukraine remains a democratic country.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But as things.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Stand right now, the President, as you know, once this
as a last gasp effort.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
To bring peace to that region of the world. So
if there isn't talks and they can't figure out where,
and they can't figure out when, and they can't figure
out home, and we don't know yet what the demands
are going to be, you're going to get some really
stiff sanctions and continued. Don't forget India is the first
of many. Anyone doing business with Russia will also be penalized.
(19:03):
It's really going to isolate them. I think people's sense
and I hope Putin does too, a level of sanctions
like we haven't seen in the past. We're serious about them,
and they'll be enforced seriously. So there is.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
That Well, look, you know, India is the first country
and the only country by the way, that's been hit
with these secondary tariffs.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
China has not.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
And China is actually the largest purchaser of Russian.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Oil in the world.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
They get eighty percent eighty percent of their energy needs
from Russia. And will the president pull the trigger and
in applying secondary tariffs on China that remains to be seen.
There are other countries as well, including, by the way,
some European countries.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Energy needs are very.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Important to Hungary and they get a substantial part of
their energy needs from Russia as well, so.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
There could be some picking and choosing of winners and losers.
You're right, it's all kind of tied together because at
that point, if you do slap China, there goes your
tiff framework deal with one of the largest providers of imports.
All right, and then of course we've got what's happening
in the Middle East. You know, you'll hear people kick
(20:15):
around the analogy John of well, we can't leave Hamas
in the Palestinian territory any more than we could have
left Nazi Germany and Germany after the war. You're just
asking for another one. But that's not how it's probably
going to be received. I kind of wanted to see
the Arab nations get more involved in this and Israel
and America be less involved with this. It might be
trusted better, policed better. But this is this is the
(20:39):
actual Russian of the Israeli government deciding we're going to
go in. We think we can get the hostages and
we can root out Hamas and they're never welcome to
come back again. That'll be interesting to see how that
plays out.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Well, it will be The President asked about that within
the past forty eight hours, and essentially he said.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
This is up to Israel.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
This up to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who's not
going to intervene in this matter. He's not going to
weigh in and say hold off on that, let's wait. Instead,
he's going to let the Israeli government do what's in
the best security interest for Israel. And this is the
reason why they're.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Going down this route. Whatever happened to the riviera of
the Middle East.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
John Tacker, whatever happened to that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Exactly? See, I did it so they can hate me
and not you. John Degger, white OF's correspondent, You have
a great weekend. We'll talk again, Sue. Thanks a lot.
Michael Bae Bye, You got it. Forty minutes after the hour,
David Sinati's joining us. I want to get right into
this fast and furious. The big picture. We kind of
talked about the two party system and the dysfunction. What
(21:42):
do you make of my comment that not only does
it look like and I'm going to break that down
in sounds of the day, the handoff is clearly going
to be to JD. Bands. He is the heir apparent
for Trump, isn't moving forward? Should it be the name
of a new party.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
It's a very innovative question because it you have to
look at what precedes it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And that's the fact that Donald Trump wasn't just an outsider.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Beginning in twenty sixteen, he brought together a coalition of
voters that have been outside for a long time. What
most people will not look at and the politicians will
never talk about. I don't care whether you're Carvel or
who it is. From the left to the right to
the center. You won't hear it on Fox News. You
won't hear it on CNN. And it's because the political
(22:25):
parties pay a lot of bills to the media.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's like, what it's wake, why we'll never going to
see anthing with the pharmaceutical companies.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Have you watched television lately? Yes, and they hold a
lot of power. Right, It's without a doubt it is
a cabal. Trump was outside the cabal. You look at
the state voting registration. When we started in this organization
forty five years ago, Florida, for example, was a d
R state. You had to declare a voter registration. The
number of non affiliated or independence was minuscule. Today it's
(22:53):
over twenty five percent, tip trending to thirty Ohio Key state.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Sixty percent of the people who.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Vote in presidential election are not registered as Democrats or Republicans.
This has been a growing disenfranchisement with the American people.
But the party power brokers don't want that to happen.
The polling companies don't want that. They happened. Trump did it.
He absolutely, He's been a party unto himself. Can I
speak a language, you'll understand, i'ma speak a language.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You can understand. They absorbed the tea Party movement and
destroyed the tea party movement by absorbing it. They're going
to try establishment Republicans are going to try to absorb Trump,
isn't They're gonna fail miserably doing it. And if I
ask you the reverse question, which is what is the
Republican Party after Donald Trump? What was it before him?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
So?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I mean, so, why not just do Lincoln's playbook? You
don't need a third term. When you hand off to JD.
Vance and Marco Ruvio, you do so in the name
of the new blank Party. Let's talk when let's let's
talk to an old story.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
What was the Republican Party in the days of Bob Dole,
who endlessly spoke a third person. I can remember when
Bob Dole was a war with the conservative part of
the Republican Party, and the conservative part of the Publican
Party got enough seats to control the platform.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Bob Dole the next day.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
After the convention, walked out and said of the morning
news shows, I'm running for president.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't have to do with the platform. So he
said it out loud.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
All right, it's been a farce. It's been a fraud
since at least Bob Dole. So there's no question that
if they wanted to have the courage generationally to say
this is the direction we're going. But Michael, that's a
lot of hard work because if you make a statement
like that, you have to acknowledge the fact that the
political parties really don't do much.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
It's not about it's not about open borders. It's not
they're playing the old game of checkers, open borders, reposition
these illegals in order to steal swing states and steal
general elections. The bottom line is the Democrat Party has
morphed into a so socialist party and an establishment Democrat
Party and now the birthing of an Islamist party, the
Republican Party. Establishment wise is irrelevant and dead. All that
(25:10):
is alive is this merger of Reagan Revolution trump Ism.
If they split off, I don't see a future whether
they're not both demised. It's just a matter why wait
for the slow death? Why not embrace it and break
off now? Well?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
And the question is, will young leaders, and they don't
have to be young in age, be young inspirit. Will
new leaders rise up at the level of state legislative
races and county commissioners and basically say, you know, public
service is cool again, it's hip again. We had to
do something for our country and transport this thing from
the bottom up. That's the big change. Trump has had
(25:46):
a tremendous impact from the time and to.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Keep it pure moving forward, term limits all right. Closing
moments with David Sinadi, our senior correspondent Trump two hundred days.
This has been pretty remarkable. There's a lot that is
way to it. Does it does? It's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah, he gets a lot of work done in today
and the people around him are doing a tremendous job
working to keep up with him, and so I think
that everyone knows the country's in much better shape. Now,
we've got to be honest with ourselves here we're talking
about replacing Weekend with Bernie's With Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
There's a big difference. We were so desperate.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Will history look back and say, this was one of
America's weakest, most frightening moments when we had a cabal
of insiders controlling the White House with a president.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Who was non functional. That's a dangerous Can I close
with the Can I close with the all people? Frank
Lunce in the Daily Mail, They asked him about this
what but no, but I can't stomach him. But watch
this quote. It's brilliant. John Kennedy getting elected in nineteen
sixty was a big deal, but nothing compared to what
Donald Trump has done in the first two hundred days.
He really has remade the governing process. Trump is reset
(26:58):
what is acceptable and American politics. It's not that he
played the game better. He changed the game. He changed
the world. We've never had anyone like him.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I do. And by the way, my gut tells me,
I think that Donald Trump. I do believe he loves Lincoln.
I do believe he loves Washington, but more recently, I
really think he's driven by the influenced by the John F.
Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, and I think he surpassed them
both both. I would be, along with the experts, clearly
(27:35):
the most significant president of the last ninety two years
or more. Well.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
And the grave danger is when he's off the stage,
what will come behind him? And if people don't step
up and take ownership of the changes that have been made,
they'll be swept out and the other guys will because
the other guys do this for a living.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
And what has done with the framework that he's left.
I mean, you know, all this revenue from these tariffs
that could be in control of the left, that could
just use it in a redistribution of I mean you could,
you could go right out the back.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Order that goes on and on. Yeah, there's if you
If what's left in his wake is a vacuum, big trouble. Now,
will it be Vance, will it be Rubio? They've got six, eight, ten,
twelve great people. I would continue to say their best
move is Sarah Hackaby Sanders, because that's the one the
other side doesn't see coming.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All Right, and I will say this, if he can
get the peace deal done with Russia and Ukraine and
solve this Mid East problem without Hamas lingering to take
back control, it would have exceeded any of my first
year expectations. Yours. Well, they'll just say it took him
too long. Well, good to have you back. We missed you.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It's your morning show with Michael del Choano.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
We got the president off the roof. You are just
fifteen minutes away from Friday with forty seven and they
want a busy wee gets back all right. The Israeli
security captain and has approved a full military takeover of
the Gaza strip Mark Mayfield as our top story.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Ntnyaho says a majority
of his security cabinet back to his proposal early Friday
to begin the gradual military takeover of the Palestinian territory,
beginning with Gaza City. A statement from the Prime Minister
says the goal of the takeover is to achieve a
decisive victory over Hamas and the return of all the hostages.
The statement said the takeover plan would allow for the
(29:21):
provision of humanitarian aid to civilians outside the combat zones.
There is no mention of when the takeover would begin.
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Well. The FBI is firing its former acting director, Brian
Schuck has more.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
According to multiple reports, Brian Driscoll, who led the Bureau
at the start of the Trump administration, was asked to
leave by Friday. Driscoll has been viewed as a champion
of the bureau's rank and file staff. After declining to
turn over a list of agents who worked on January sixth, cases,
he penned a final note to staff explaining that he
was not given a reason for his removal.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I'm Brian shuk Well. President Trump says Russian President Vladimir
pol would like to meet with him. Speaking from the
Oval Office, Trump said both Putin and Zelenski want to
meet with him. It's just a matter of when and where.
As the ceasefire deadline approaches, the President said he wants
this war to stop. They would like to meet.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
With me, and I'll do whatever I can to stop
the killing.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
His main motivation, too many people dying.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Last month, they lost fourteen thousand people killed it last month.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Every week is four or five thousand people. Former Governor
Andrew Cuomo who's running for New York City mayor, is
denying having any phone conversations with President Trump about the
mayor's race. I've never spoken to him about the mayor's race.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
At a hastily cult news conference on Thursday afternoon, Cuomo
said he doesn't remember the last time he spoke with Trump.
This after The New York Times reported a phone call
on Wednesday and Zora and Mom Donnie bash Cuomo on
the campaign trail.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
New Yorkers do not want a mayor who is working
in tandem with the president to subvert the will of
the people of this city.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Cuomo didn't react to that, instead slamming Mayor Eric Adams.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You have Mayor Adams who's running who is a wholly
owned subsidiary of President Trump.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler. You know, at some point New
York really doesn't have any choices, do they. President Trump
is ordering colleges across the US to share admissions data,
including information on student diversity.
Speaker 11 (31:25):
Trump signed to presidential memorandum on Thursday requiring colleges and
universities to submit the expanded data to the US Department
of Education. The memo claims the lack of available admissions
data from universities, compaired with the rampant use of diversity statements,
raises concerns about whether race is considered in admissions. After
the memos release, Education Secretary lind At McMahon said they
(31:47):
will now begin collecting admissions data disaggregated by race and sex.
I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Metallica is neither confirming or denying the rumors that they're
going to play them Las Vegas Sphere in the very
near future. As Drummer said, they're big fans of Las
Vegas Sphere and they're considering it at some point when
the twenty twenty six tour is done. Metallica's M seventy
two world tour will wrap up in July of twenty
(32:15):
twenty six. Speaking of wrapping up, you'll always find my
wife or wrapped up with doos our cat. But they're
just celebrating today. It's International Cat Day.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
The day is said to raise awareness about how cool
cats are. They have power jumping abilities, they knock stuff
over and we're okay with it, and nap about sixteen
hours a day. It's a coveted life and they aren't
just cute. The College of Veterinary medicine at Cornell University
says pettying a cat for ten minutes reduces stress and
anxiety in humans. No doubt, there's a cat waiting for
(32:46):
you at a local animal shelter.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Maybe you take a peek. I'm pre Tennis. We got
our dumpster cat from the animal shelter, skyrocketed the number
one cat in the house. Alf looks. It looks a
little half kangaroo to me and likes meat. Lovely.
