Speaker 3 (00:34):
Did you just stood over.

Just a little bit, make sure there's one forty to

Speaker 1 (00:37):
We'd like to welcome Talk Radio thirteen twenty and ninety

thy audience.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Onto the Woody is.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
In in in Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
In addition to the Jerry Mandarin scam for additional representation,
the other big thing is the census and the inclusion
of illegals in the census to gain representative seats in Congress.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
That needs to end.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
I really think Trump needs to focus on that and
getting that ruled unconstitutional.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, well, I brought that up in our conversation with
David Sonati Fred also joining us this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Good morning, Michael Hey.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Regarding the Damie race, I feel like most rational people
have been trying to warner Yorkers of what they're flirting with.
But at this point, however, I think we just go
ahead and let him touch the stove. I don't think
just any other way to reach him. It's gonna be
a hard lesson learned. I hope it doesn't happen, but
I'm afraid that's where we're headed.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I love the expression let him touch the stove.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Well, I don't think we really have much of a say,
we're watching and the hand is getting very close to
the stove.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Real quickly find it. One is for Big John.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
This question goes out to David Bonson.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
So the White House the last few days have been
touting gas prices, how low they all.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
But oil per barrel is up five dollars in the
last two days.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
So what has happening there? That's a good question. Let's
ask him.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
David Bonson is not only a theologian, he is an economist.
He is also a market expert. I first saw him
on Fox Business and we're delighted to have him every Thursday.
He is from the Bonson Financial Group and he presides
over the Dividendcafe at Dividendcafe dot com. So what do
you make of that oil? That's been a big conversation
this morning. What do you make a Big John's question?
(02:59):
What's going on not with oil?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, oil prices aren't up. They're way down.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
Over the last month and six weeks and so forth,
and that's the reason gas prices are down. So oil
today is up five and a half percent because of
the president's long overdue announcement of sanctions on Russia. But
the reason gas prices are down. Primarily is because oil
(03:26):
prices are down. They're down about fifteen dollars a barrel since.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The beginning of the year.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
And then the other piece that contributes to gasoline prices
besides the price of oil is refiner margins and refiner
prices have come in as well, so that's pushed gas
prices lower. But remember supply is one element. Demand is
another fear of a softening economy, worsening employment. You know,
(03:55):
it's been a very volatile year in the economy, and
that's put a little bit of down with pressure on
demand as well. So there's a couple of reasons gas
prices are lower, but the oil yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No, no, not all of them were good.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
Just remember the lowest gas prices anybody listening right now
has seen since the early nineteen nineties were in two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So if anybody thought that was a great thing, let.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Me know what was two thousand and eight's number.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
By the way, Well, gas prices hit something in the
ones because oil prices it hit down, you know, into the.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Twenties and thirties from.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
All over an but your point was all for bad reasons.
I think right now we just did this last hour.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
My business, My business, Michael.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
You don't have to explain why two thousand and eight
was a bad thing.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
We know, just doing it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The other it's just kind of like intuitively there.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
You know that that two thousand and eight was a
pretty bad year.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yes, it was a pretty bad year for a lot
of us.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
All right, So we did the numbers and the highest
we saw was three eighty, I belie you've read. And
the lowest we saw was two sixty. And we kind
of focus on gas because that's one of the things.
You know, the president really ran on inflation and the economy.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It's the economy, stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And of course gas also affects how the groceries get there,
and so the cost of groceries, and there might be
an opportunity for the president to address these things a
little bit better, but he's been focused on other things
this year. I mean, I've been using this analogy all
week long day. But the president has proven once and
for all no president in the future can ever preside
over a border crisis. If you do, everybody's going to
(05:34):
look right at the White House because Donald Trump has
proven once and for all you can secure the border.
You can get one point one and a half million
people to self deport. You can find and deport the
other half million. You can have a secured border. You
brought up something with oil that has never talked about,
and that is the refinement capacity. Is that still an
(05:55):
opportunity for America to invest in that could have a
lasting effect at keeping these prices down?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Well, remember prices been down. This is so funny.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
The President's supporters in Texas and Oklahoma are not asking
prices to come down because they're going to got a
business in the permium basin if they were to come down.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Another ten dollars a barrel.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
You know, your Chevrons and Exxons can still profitably drill
in the high fifties the low fifties still for Chevron
Exxon it gets a lot tighter margins. For many other
producers to get below fifty, they're losing money.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So prices have been quite.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Low, you know, relative to that brief period in twenty
twenty two after Russia and vad to Ukraine when.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
They went above one hundred. And that didn't last too long.
But Biden kind of.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Cheated a little by depleting the emergency reserves. Now, one
thing I would want to ask, because a lot of
Republicans were very critical of Biden for doing that. I
was one of them, But I would to ask this
administration why they haven't filled any of it back up.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think that we need to be doing that.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
The President is so good about allowing production.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So what we have right now is an energy.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Policy that is allowing LNG export terminals liquefied natural gas
to be built.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We desperately need that. Biden stopped it.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
We have a president right now who has eliminated a
lot of the regulatory burdens for production. We desperately need that.
The question is not refiner margins, which are not something
the federal government's going to have a lot of say in,
but the steel and aluminum tariffs that represent an input
cost to producers, and it's only a matter of time
(07:41):
until they have to turn the spigots down.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
We're not building a lot of new rigs.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Production is not higher right now than it was in
the Biden years, and so the reason is mostly market driven.
Though it was regulatory with the Biden years and the
President has eliminated that, but now it's market driven. So
what we're going to do is end up politicizing this
in a way that is sort of justified, because there
(08:08):
can be really bad political things that influence energy policy
negatively and good things that influence it positively.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
But that's not universal.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
There are other factors outside of politics, like market forces.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Like China demand.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
You know, China's economic health has a lot to do
with global oil supplies.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So there's just a lot of factors that go into this.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
I would really prefer, as someone who supports the president's
energy policies, that we focus on what the president can control,
which is deregulation.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So refilling the reserve and having excess that we can export,
that should probably be the focus.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Now, refilling the reserve.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Refilling the reserves is probably going to have make prices
go up a little bit, and so you know, people
have to question if they're willing for that to happen,
and we're president, they'd be saying, yes.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I know that is a fact.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
David Bonson is joining us. He presides over the dividend Cafe.
More on that in a moment. Now my question, give
me one good reason why, and I could use myself
as an example. I try to stay out of debt. Father,
there's good debt bad debt, but bad debt, stay out
of bad debt. And right now I'm tipped at about
eight thousand, and I'm obsessed with it. It's got me
(09:26):
so anxious and I'm so upset over it. And yet
my country's thirty eight trillion dollars in debt and I'm
not losing a wink of sleep over that. Give me
one good reason why thirty eight trillion dollars in debt
is not something to be scared to death of.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Well, for one thing, why would you be scared to
death as something you have no control over? In what
biblical context would that be appropriate for you to lose
sleep over something that you have go control over?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So there's your get out of jail free card, my friend.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
Theologically, people are not supposed to be worried about things
that they can't control, and as it turns out from scripture,
there's a heck of a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
We can't control.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Now, if you mean, recognize it as a concern and
believe it needs attention and so forth, I'm only responding
specifically to losing sleep.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I really want you to get the rest you need,
my friend.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
But you know, the fact matter is that a revenue
and assets matter as a numerator when thinking about debt
as a denominator. And so you know, a person Apple
has a heck of a lot more debt than you do.
And I think Apple is doing a lot better than
you are. And the reason, and the reason is because
(10:39):
their assets and their revenues are so high relative to
the debt.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The thing we should be.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Worried about when we think about the country's debt is
that our debt two GDP ratio is double what it
is historically been and more than double what I.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Would like it to be, especially in peacetime.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
So make more spend less right, Well, I mean the
GDP is not government revenue. That's one of the reasons
I will never stop arguing when the President talks about
cariiffs making us money, because this is not what GDP
is is tax revenue.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Tax revenue comes out of GDP.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
It is money that comes out of the private sector,
which is where economic growth is born. And so I
don't believe that we're talking about governmental revenue.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We're talking about the economy. And of course income and
capital gain.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Taxes are going higher when the economy is doing better,
there's more wage earners earning more money, so you actually
grow the tax base when you grow the economic well
being and prosperity of the country.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well that's what I would Yeah, well, I was gonna say,
welcome to the mind of JFK in nineteen sixty two,
trying to explain to people that when you lower taxes
or when you raise taxes, that's money out of the economy.
In fact, the best way to fund government and grow
the economy is the same, less taxes, trusting people morally
to keep more of their money as they spend it.
Businesses grow as they grow, they hire. As they grow,
(12:12):
and hire people spend more, and that's actually where taxation
comes in and funds the government better. So we'd like
to raise taxes to say government. What I met was,
as an economy, create more things which create jobs, and
or your government should be spending less, not more.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
But the two go hand in hand.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The main question is what should we be more concerned
with the government shut down twenty three days or that
we're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. Maybe that's the
better way to ask it.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Is the government still shut down. I didn't even know that.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Well, nobody shares, so I mean, nobody shares. It's a
total side show. It's total theatrical nonsense that I think
that if Republicans blame the Democrats and Downcots blame the Republicans,
and this particular case, as a matter of fact, it's
the Republicans who are right, because the Democrats are who
(13:04):
did shut down the government. But I'm not sitting here
being partisan about that because the Republicans have done it
four or five times, and I thought they were wrong
every single time they did it. So this isn't a
blame casting thing. It's just the government shutdown and nobody cares.
So you know, at some point when the different political
parties realize no one cares, I've already told you what
(13:25):
I believe is going to happen is they're finding over
the subsidies out of the Obamacare legislation that were extended
in the COVID moment that are set to go away
at the end of the year, and I believe that
the Publicans are going to give them an extension, but
they just now don't want to look like they're.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Doing it as part of this shutdown.
Speaker 8 (13:44):
So it's really gross, But that's what happens when you
don't want to win an argument.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Every week I love reading the Dividend Cafe piece that
you write What's tomorrow On the Dividendcafe dot com.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
You know, there's a lot of talk about index funds
and how popular indexing has become and whether or not
it's created a new risks for investors, and so I
do a really deep dive into the state of just
simply buying the S and P five hundred.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
What does it look like?
Speaker 8 (14:15):
How is it different than our parents indexing? Or to
use the expression, it's a It's a really interesting diffe.
I'm looking forward to people reading it.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Dividendcafe dot com.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
David Bonsen notice I got slapped by the theologian, but
a little bit roughed up by the economist and Money
with David has always thank you for your time. Every
week I blish you all in love, my friend, all
involve you got it.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
I found your conversation with David's an audi about the
economy interesting. Here in Youngstown, our gas prices can vary
day to day, week to week, anywhere from two dollars
and fifty cents a gallon of three dollars fifty cents
a gallon really crazy, although of course the prices in
the grocery store seemed to be level.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
The products in this country travel on diesel fuel. Nobody
ever talks about that, and that price for diesel has
barely moved.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Love hearing from you can't have your morning show without
your voice. You's had talkback button on your iHeart radio,
have great to get your reaction and feedback. It was
David Bonsen, although we did talk a little bit about
the economy with David Zanati as well.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
The head of NATO met with the President. What's it
all about?
Speaker 12 (15:33):
The meeting with NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutto was announced
after a possible summit between Trump and Vladimir Putin was
canceled by Trump, who called it a waste of time.
Speaker 13 (15:42):
And we've had some very good discussions today and things
are going along pretty well.
Speaker 14 (15:45):
As regarding Ukraine Russia, we thought it would be a
little bit easier.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
That's turned out to be tougher than.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
The Middle East.
Speaker 12 (15:53):
Trump continues to press Putin to end the Russia Ukraine
War and announce sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies.
On Wednesday, Ruda said NATO is ready to help Trump
bring an end to the war.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
I'm Mark Neefield. John Diddy comes had a near death
experience in prison.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
A longtime friend of Ditty's tells The Daily Mail that
an inmate armed with a shive snug into Ditty's cell
with a hip hop mogul, waking up to a knife
to his throat. Diddy's lawyer mentioned at the incident during
the sentencing hearing, saying a guard stopped anything from escalating.
Combs was sentenced to fifteen months in federal prison after
being convicted on two counts of violating the Man Act.
(16:29):
I'm Jim Ruper.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael gill Jorna. Hey, Gang, It's Michael.
Your Morning Show can be heard live each weekday morning
on great radio stations like k EIB in Los Angeles,
WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan, the Superstation, and the
(16:55):
Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Love to have you listen live every morning. But glad
you're here now for the podcast. Enjoy we entered day
twenty three of the government partial shut down after the
Senate fails for a twelfth time to advance a house
built last night. Meanwhile, as a country, collectively, we're at
thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. And Sounds of the day, Oh,
(17:19):
I'm so glad you're listening right now.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
She's gonna get smoked.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
He's got too and stopped.
Speaker 15 (17:26):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's got to be a big bits understanding.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I'm going in, I'm going always away.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Do you like my garbage?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Love your garbage truck?
Speaker 16 (17:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Always revealing, often entertaining. Time for Sounds of the day.
I want to start with you know all, let's talk
about the shutdown and how far they will go and
who's to blame and YadA YadA. This is the Democrat whip,
Representative Catherine Clark discussing the shut down and the constituents
(18:03):
she's hurting and for what purpose their power? I mean,
remember how they went crazy over Doge. Well, this is
dojeon steroids, self inflicted on mainly their constituents. I don't
know how they think they're going to make a political
(18:24):
win out of this, But it's not like they don't
know who they're hurting.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Listen.
Speaker 17 (18:28):
I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be,
you know, families that are going to suffer. We take
that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the
few leverage times we have.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I mean, we take it very seriously. Well, we can't
waste this partisan political power move this moment of leverage.
Are the representing their constituents? Are they statesmen solving problems?
(19:07):
Or are they playing games and they know the games
they're playing and they're choosing the games and they know
who they're hurting.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Now do you think that's a bad moment? I kind
of like Porter.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Because you know, I can I can just picture her
throwing the hot mashed potatoes on her husband's head, and
I like watching her meltdones. But when it comes to nothing,
Burger Abigail spam Berger, I mean, just wow, how is
(19:45):
this woman the nominee representing the Democrat Party in a
state as big as Virginia? This one, I'm in awe.
I mean, this makes Kamala Harris look polished. Abigail Spamberger
(20:07):
complaining that she has to take the time to answer
questions about Jay Jones, a nutbag running for attorney general
who wants to put bullets in the speaker's head and
watch his wife hold her dead children. This guy should
be so gone, and she doesn't want to take the
time to answer any questions, but she still endorses him.
Speaker 15 (20:33):
If I'm being very honest, we are three weeks away
from an election in Virginia. I have worked tirelessly for
two years running for this office I announced in November
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
The fact that I and I say this with.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
All due respect, because you know, I think it's a fair.
Speaker 15 (20:52):
Thing for you to ask about the fact that I
have to spend even a moment's time talking about somebody
else's text message from years ago rather than what I
want to do as governor is something that I am
deeply unhappy about.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
She's deeply unhappy, and yet you indorse him.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
They wouldn't be asking this question if you didn't endorse
him and maintain your endorsement. But she can't waste the
time the seconds it takes to acknowledge that. But watch
six minutes. First of all, Katie Kirk is so sad.
She's sitting in her living room. She just can't handle retirement.
(21:35):
She's still playing the character Katie Kirk doing these interviews.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
And she asks nothing Burger, a simple question.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
About transgenders in youth sports, start the clock on a
real issue that has nothing to do with a text
message and the six minute word salid And you tell
me if you hear an answer, let alone a leader
anywhere in this.
Speaker 17 (22:08):
In this race and in other races, And what are
your thoughts on youth sports allowing trans athletes to participate?
Speaker 15 (22:17):
Well, I think that we see and I mean it's
about thirty million dollars worth of attack ads against me
related to trans youth that have run so far, and
there's there's more advice in the future, some of them
about this, most of them about this. And I think
the reason that we have seen that Republicans continue to
(22:41):
use the issue of trans kids or trans kids and
sports participation as an attack.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Is, you know, there's there's multiple levels of it. One.
Speaker 15 (22:53):
I think that broadly speaking, every pundit after the twenty
twenty four election, you know, at least in part a
tribute the Democratic loss to that one particular ad that
spoke about, you know, the sort of infamous.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
They then add, if you will.
Speaker 15 (23:09):
And so I think the takeaway from the twenty four
election for some folks was that that was, you know,
a really potent ad. And there's certainly my opponent is
trying to, you know, even copy some of the language,
you know.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
The notably the quote unquote you know is.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
For I can't waste anymore of my show with this.
She never answers the question, I mean, I don't know
what's worse that or the eighteen seconds of smiling with
Mom Donnie and the debate, and boy did that get fiery.
The final New York City Mayor's raised debate last night, Como, Mom,
(23:49):
Donnie and Sliewa, let's start with Cuomo just by.
Speaker 18 (23:54):
Their sexual orientation, isn't that a basic violation of human right?
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Thanks?
Speaker 8 (23:59):
You get.
Speaker 19 (24:03):
My politics is consistent, and my politics is built on
a belief in human rights for all people. And that
extends to queer and trans New Yorkers, and it extends
to queer and trans ugandans. And had I known that
the first Deputy Minister was the architect of that legislation,
I would not have taken that photo. And yet I
(24:24):
also know that this constant attempt to smear and slander
me is an attempt to also distract from the fact that,
unlike myself, you do not actually have a platform or
a set of policies to protect those same New Yorkers here.
All you have are the insults that you have loved
at every single opportunity you have.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Okay, no, that's it.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
This is that awkward smile moment. Mom.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Donnie tries to pull a span Burger and not answer
a question, and the other two candidates, including the moderators,
awkwardly tried to force him, but he just kept smiling.
Speaker 20 (25:06):
It was reference to the three housing related Charter Amendment questions.
I know mister Cuomo's on the record as saying he
favors them. We just heard mister slee Wa say that
he's against them. Where do you stand on those Where
are you.
Speaker 19 (25:17):
Appreciative that those measures will be on the ballot and
that New Yorkers will be able to cast their votes
for them. I know that we desperately need to build
more housing in the city, and I also know that
the jobs we create in the building of that housing
should be good jobs as well.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
Man, So what is your opinion.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Come on, yes, Born, what is your opinion?
Speaker 10 (25:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
No? True?
Speaker 16 (25:41):
Be a politician here, I got it, you know, answer smiles.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Question where was the debate at age black?
Speaker 19 (25:49):
See the two people appealing for the Republican Party's thought myself?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
And then he finally after eighteen seconds that's two people
trying to appeal to Republican votes.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Sliva did get involved. This must have made Big John happy.
Speaker 16 (26:01):
Listen, I've heard the both of them again, fighting like
kids in the school yard.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Drawn.
Speaker 16 (26:06):
Your resume could fit on a cocktail napkin, and Andrew
your failures could fill a public school library in New
York City.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
And meanwhile, the question is if Sleeva were to drop out,
what would that do to the race? Does he need
to drop out? Are the polls accurate? Are we about
to have a socialist, communist is longist mayor of our
largest city? And what impact will that have on the
midterm elections in the presidential election in two more years?
(26:39):
Anything else you would like to do on microphone?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Red?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Perhaps vomit? I did that one time. Why is Nancy here?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Shut up?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I know.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
This was another great moment. This is the one.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
They replaced the the sign language grow I guess because
it probably was a different This was spectrum news, and
when they start fighting, she's making the mean faces. But
each way, I was very distracted by that. But this
was another heated exchange.
Speaker 20 (27:13):
Let me ask you a related question, mister Guamo. Many
New Yorkers have serious grievances with Israel in the way
the Israeli government under Benjamin Netibiawu has conducted the war
in Gaza and expanded settlements in the West Bank. What
would you say to and how would you handle New
Yorkers who are in the streets if you were a
mayor protesting the actions of the Yahoo government.
Speaker 18 (27:34):
Fine, that's your right, protests, demonstrate, disagree. God bless America,
God bless New York City. And there is no doubt
that there's two sizes on what's going on, and the
passions are very high.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That doesn't that.
Speaker 18 (27:48):
Doesn't justify antisomitic.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Behavior in New York.
Speaker 18 (27:52):
It doesn't justify having a Jewish population.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That feels unprotected in New York.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It doesn't.
Speaker 18 (27:59):
It doesn't justify leaders who stoked the flames of hatred
against Jewish people, which is what Zoran does in my opinion.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
So this, you know, this is where it all is.
I don't know. I can't.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I can't fathom who's left living in New York City
or or what's driving what issues are driving this.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
It's a pure attempt at pandering.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Free free buses, free convenience stores, you know, free childcare.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
It's a pure pandit.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I don't know that if I was analyzing the debate itself,
how much ground Sleewa gained. He clearly made a run
at increasing his numbers. But the exchanges between Cuomo and
Mom Donnie to reach those Democrats, if there was any discrediting,
(29:03):
maybe some leftist Jewish vote that might not feel as
comfortable with him.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
One final heat in exchange, once again the.
Speaker 16 (29:10):
Architect of raised the age, Governor Cromo the Apprentice to him, Johan,
it's personal for me. My oldest son, Anthony last October
was a victim of a vicious gang assault that could
have killed him. And what happened to these juveniles cut
free because they went to family court, not criminal court.
(29:33):
So how can both of you look at me? I
almost lost my oldest son to gang violence, and the
perpetrators went to family court and got a little pet
on the wrist and was sent home to do it
again and again. No, we need to start charging juveniles
who commit violent crime in criminal court.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And how a point.
Speaker 16 (29:55):
Criminal court judges who follow the law and don't just relap,
he said, because of no cash bail.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean, I thought, you know, by Farsley was best
performance I could break into Johnny mathis too much, too
little to do I have And by the way, just
aggravate one of my listeners. I can't go a show
without a stephen A.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Smith moment.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
This does not mean that Stephen and I, Stephen A.
Smith and I have the same biblical view, worldview, political view,
policy views. It just means his view of someone like
Jasmine Crockett or the dysfunctional and I think it's a
combination of dysfunctional over hyperpartisan politics and the matrix and
(30:42):
the social dilemma that we're all living in. I just
like how he sensibly looks at Representative Crockett's decision to
maybe run for Senate after redistricting a senator and to
do what listen, I thought it was worth being in
Sounds of the Day.
Speaker 14 (31:00):
How Jasmin Crockett chooses to express herself.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I'm like, is that gonna help your district to Texas.
Speaker 14 (31:08):
Aren't you there to find a way to get stuff
done as opposed to just being an impediment to what
to what Trump wants?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
How much work goes into that. I'm just gonna go
off about Trump, cuss them.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Out every chance I get, say the most derogatory and
send you Everything's imagine a pull and that's my day's work.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That ain't work, And now she wants to do it
in the club of one hundred. Well, there's a reason
she's not. She's looking at that center race. They've even
drawn her district lines that she could never win with
a reasonable district line. How she thinks that's gonna translate
at the state level? Good luck? And that's your sounds
of the day.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty bark.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
They're a little bit of any of you in the media.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
You clearly missed the art of the deals. It's going
to work out?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Hey, do a survey.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He says that the majority of Americans are planning to
just live off social Security?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
How's that going to work? Rory's got the final story.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Next doctors call it weight cycling, You may call it
yo yoing. Half of Americans do it, and if you
do it enough, you're at risk of diabetes, liver damage,
heart attack, and stroke.

Weight cycling is like when.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
You lose ten pounds and then you gain it back,
then you lose ten again, then you gain back fifteen
twenty push it. At risk of these diseases. It's very
straining on your organs. Bottom line, we need help with
weight cycling, and I got a great, great way. We

It's your Morning Show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
This comes to Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. Dear Michael,
you had either Zanadi It's with a ze out an
X or Decker.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
It wasn't. It was David Bonson.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Telling your listening audience the gas prices had not gone down,
and then you had the other guy on from Dividendcafe
telling us the gas prices have actually gone down. So
please get your act together so you can be trying
to First off, you listen. First of all, I don't
play that game, so stop with the If you send
nasty emails, I'm usually not going to read them or
I'm not going to respond to them personally. There's plenty
(34:10):
of talk show hosts that have play that game with you.
I don't play that game. They really didn't say anything different.
It's a perception versus reality, and it's addressing technically oil
prices are down, but they are starting to go back up.
Both were actually right, David Sanat he was talking about
giving the Democrats something to run on, some political leverage,
(34:31):
which David Bonson also acknowledged. But by and large, you know,
gas prices need to be understood. You want to fill
the reserve backup or that's going to drive them up.
You want to start exporting and drilling, You need more refineries.
It's a complex conversation. They weren't saying different things, and
it's not about getting acts together.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
And if you don't trust the show, thanks for trying
it and move on dot org. Rory's here.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
New survey says majority of Americans are planning to use
their Social Security to live on in their senior years,
but they're worried that there won't be anything left for them.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Well, we know that's coming, right, Rory.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Well right, More than fifty two percent of Americans, these
are people who have not retired yet.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Fifty two percent.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Expect to rely on Social Security benefits to put a
look over their head and food on the table. And
that's an issue not what it was designed for. But
you know, we have a demographic breakdown as well. You know,
younger people think they won't have to rely on it.
Older people, the boomers, seventy two percent say they rely
on it. I'm pretty remarkable, but yeah, seventy six percent
(35:34):
of worry the benefits won't be there. There's a study
by the Responsible Federal Budget Committee that found that they
expect to see the benefits cut about twenty four percent
by twenty thirty two. So for a duel income household,
that could be a roughly and eighteen thousand dollars annual
cut to your benefits from close security.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We got to visit on that. Mort We're going to
visit on that more tomorrow, out of time. Fifty eight
minutes after our great reporting today, Rory. Oh wait, no,
we're breaking right now.
Speaker 9 (36:04):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show

Just a little bit, make sure there's one forty to

Speaker 1 (00:37):
We'd like to welcome Talk Radio thirteen twenty and ninety
nine point one FM WJAS in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Onto the Woody is.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
In in in Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
In addition to the Jerry Mandarin scam for additional representation,
the other big thing is the census and the inclusion
of illegals in the census to gain representative seats in Congress.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
That needs to end.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
I really think Trump needs to focus on that and
getting that ruled unconstitutional.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, well, I brought that up in our conversation with
David Sonati Fred also joining us this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Good morning, Michael Hey.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Regarding the Damie race, I feel like most rational people
have been trying to warner Yorkers of what they're flirting with.
But at this point, however, I think we just go
ahead and let him touch the stove. I don't think
just any other way to reach him. It's gonna be
a hard lesson learned. I hope it doesn't happen, but
I'm afraid that's where we're headed.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I love the expression let him touch the stove.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Well, I don't think we really have much of a say,
we're watching and the hand is getting very close to
the stove.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Real quickly find it. One is for Big John.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
This question goes out to David Bonson.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
So the White House the last few days have been
touting gas prices, how low they all.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
But oil per barrel is up five dollars in the
last two days.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
So what has happening there? That's a good question. Let's
ask him.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
David Bonson is not only a theologian, he is an economist.
He is also a market expert. I first saw him
on Fox Business and we're delighted to have him every Thursday.
He is from the Bonson Financial Group and he presides
over the Dividendcafe at Dividendcafe dot com. So what do
you make of that oil? That's been a big conversation
this morning. What do you make a Big John's question?
(02:59):
What's going on not with oil?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, oil prices aren't up. They're way down.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
Over the last month and six weeks and so forth,
and that's the reason gas prices are down. So oil
today is up five and a half percent because of
the president's long overdue announcement of sanctions on Russia. But
the reason gas prices are down. Primarily is because oil
(03:26):
prices are down. They're down about fifteen dollars a barrel since.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The beginning of the year.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
And then the other piece that contributes to gasoline prices
besides the price of oil is refiner margins and refiner
prices have come in as well, so that's pushed gas
prices lower. But remember supply is one element. Demand is
another fear of a softening economy, worsening employment. You know,
(03:55):
it's been a very volatile year in the economy, and
that's put a little bit of down with pressure on
demand as well. So there's a couple of reasons gas
prices are lower, but the oil yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No, no, not all of them were good.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
Just remember the lowest gas prices anybody listening right now
has seen since the early nineteen nineties were in two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So if anybody thought that was a great thing, let.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Me know what was two thousand and eight's number.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
By the way, Well, gas prices hit something in the
ones because oil prices it hit down, you know, into the.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Twenties and thirties from.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
All over an but your point was all for bad reasons.
I think right now we just did this last hour.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
My business, My business, Michael.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
You don't have to explain why two thousand and eight
was a bad thing.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
We know, just doing it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The other it's just kind of like intuitively there.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
You know that that two thousand and eight was a
pretty bad year.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yes, it was a pretty bad year for a lot
of us.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
All right, So we did the numbers and the highest
we saw was three eighty, I belie you've read. And
the lowest we saw was two sixty. And we kind
of focus on gas because that's one of the things.
You know, the president really ran on inflation and the economy.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It's the economy, stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And of course gas also affects how the groceries get there,
and so the cost of groceries, and there might be
an opportunity for the president to address these things a
little bit better, but he's been focused on other things
this year. I mean, I've been using this analogy all
week long day. But the president has proven once and
for all no president in the future can ever preside
over a border crisis. If you do, everybody's going to
(05:34):
look right at the White House because Donald Trump has
proven once and for all you can secure the border.
You can get one point one and a half million
people to self deport. You can find and deport the
other half million. You can have a secured border. You
brought up something with oil that has never talked about,
and that is the refinement capacity. Is that still an
(05:55):
opportunity for America to invest in that could have a
lasting effect at keeping these prices down?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Well, remember prices been down. This is so funny.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
The President's supporters in Texas and Oklahoma are not asking
prices to come down because they're going to got a
business in the permium basin if they were to come down.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Another ten dollars a barrel.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
You know, your Chevrons and Exxons can still profitably drill
in the high fifties the low fifties still for Chevron
Exxon it gets a lot tighter margins. For many other
producers to get below fifty, they're losing money.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So prices have been quite.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Low, you know, relative to that brief period in twenty
twenty two after Russia and vad to Ukraine when.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
They went above one hundred. And that didn't last too long.
But Biden kind of.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Cheated a little by depleting the emergency reserves. Now, one
thing I would want to ask, because a lot of
Republicans were very critical of Biden for doing that. I
was one of them, But I would to ask this
administration why they haven't filled any of it back up.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think that we need to be doing that.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
The President is so good about allowing production.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So what we have right now is an energy.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Policy that is allowing LNG export terminals liquefied natural gas
to be built.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We desperately need that. Biden stopped it.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
We have a president right now who has eliminated a
lot of the regulatory burdens for production. We desperately need that.
The question is not refiner margins, which are not something
the federal government's going to have a lot of say in,
but the steel and aluminum tariffs that represent an input
cost to producers, and it's only a matter of time
(07:41):
until they have to turn the spigots down.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
We're not building a lot of new rigs.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Production is not higher right now than it was in
the Biden years, and so the reason is mostly market driven.
Though it was regulatory with the Biden years and the
President has eliminated that, but now it's market driven. So
what we're going to do is end up politicizing this
in a way that is sort of justified, because there
(08:08):
can be really bad political things that influence energy policy
negatively and good things that influence it positively.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
But that's not universal.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
There are other factors outside of politics, like market forces.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Like China demand.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
You know, China's economic health has a lot to do
with global oil supplies.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So there's just a lot of factors that go into this.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
I would really prefer, as someone who supports the president's
energy policies, that we focus on what the president can control,
which is deregulation.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So refilling the reserve and having excess that we can export,
that should probably be the focus.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Now, refilling the reserve.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Refilling the reserves is probably going to have make prices
go up a little bit, and so you know, people
have to question if they're willing for that to happen,
and we're president, they'd be saying, yes.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I know that is a fact.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
David Bonson is joining us. He presides over the dividend Cafe.
More on that in a moment. Now my question, give
me one good reason why, and I could use myself
as an example. I try to stay out of debt. Father,
there's good debt bad debt, but bad debt, stay out
of bad debt. And right now I'm tipped at about
eight thousand, and I'm obsessed with it. It's got me
(09:26):
so anxious and I'm so upset over it. And yet
my country's thirty eight trillion dollars in debt and I'm
not losing a wink of sleep over that. Give me
one good reason why thirty eight trillion dollars in debt
is not something to be scared to death of.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Well, for one thing, why would you be scared to
death as something you have no control over? In what
biblical context would that be appropriate for you to lose
sleep over something that you have go control over?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So there's your get out of jail free card, my friend.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
Theologically, people are not supposed to be worried about things
that they can't control, and as it turns out from scripture,
there's a heck of a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
We can't control.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Now, if you mean, recognize it as a concern and
believe it needs attention and so forth, I'm only responding
specifically to losing sleep.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I really want you to get the rest you need,
my friend.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
But you know, the fact matter is that a revenue
and assets matter as a numerator when thinking about debt
as a denominator. And so you know, a person Apple
has a heck of a lot more debt than you do.
And I think Apple is doing a lot better than
you are. And the reason, and the reason is because
(10:39):
their assets and their revenues are so high relative to
the debt.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The thing we should be.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Worried about when we think about the country's debt is
that our debt two GDP ratio is double what it
is historically been and more than double what I.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Would like it to be, especially in peacetime.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
So make more spend less right, Well, I mean the
GDP is not government revenue. That's one of the reasons
I will never stop arguing when the President talks about
cariiffs making us money, because this is not what GDP
is is tax revenue.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Tax revenue comes out of GDP.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
It is money that comes out of the private sector,
which is where economic growth is born. And so I
don't believe that we're talking about governmental revenue.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
We're talking about the economy. And of course income and
capital gain.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Taxes are going higher when the economy is doing better,
there's more wage earners earning more money, so you actually
grow the tax base when you grow the economic well
being and prosperity of the country.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well that's what I would Yeah, well, I was gonna say,
welcome to the mind of JFK in nineteen sixty two,
trying to explain to people that when you lower taxes
or when you raise taxes, that's money out of the economy.
In fact, the best way to fund government and grow
the economy is the same, less taxes, trusting people morally
to keep more of their money as they spend it.
Businesses grow as they grow, they hire. As they grow,
(12:12):
and hire people spend more, and that's actually where taxation
comes in and funds the government better. So we'd like
to raise taxes to say government. What I met was,
as an economy, create more things which create jobs, and
or your government should be spending less, not more.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
But the two go hand in hand.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The main question is what should we be more concerned
with the government shut down twenty three days or that
we're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. Maybe that's the
better way to ask it.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Is the government still shut down. I didn't even know that.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Well, nobody shares, so I mean, nobody shares. It's a
total side show. It's total theatrical nonsense that I think
that if Republicans blame the Democrats and Downcots blame the Republicans,
and this particular case, as a matter of fact, it's
the Republicans who are right, because the Democrats are who
(13:04):
did shut down the government. But I'm not sitting here
being partisan about that because the Republicans have done it
four or five times, and I thought they were wrong
every single time they did it. So this isn't a
blame casting thing. It's just the government shutdown and nobody cares.
So you know, at some point when the different political
parties realize no one cares, I've already told you what
(13:25):
I believe is going to happen is they're finding over
the subsidies out of the Obamacare legislation that were extended
in the COVID moment that are set to go away
at the end of the year, and I believe that
the Publicans are going to give them an extension, but
they just now don't want to look like they're.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Doing it as part of this shutdown.
Speaker 8 (13:44):
So it's really gross, But that's what happens when you
don't want to win an argument.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Every week I love reading the Dividend Cafe piece that
you write What's tomorrow On the Dividendcafe dot com.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
You know, there's a lot of talk about index funds
and how popular indexing has become and whether or not
it's created a new risks for investors, and so I
do a really deep dive into the state of just
simply buying the S and P five hundred.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
What does it look like?
Speaker 8 (14:15):
How is it different than our parents indexing? Or to
use the expression, it's a It's a really interesting diffe.
I'm looking forward to people reading it.
Speaker 4 (14:24):

Speaker 1 (14:26):
David Bonsen notice I got slapped by the theologian, but
a little bit roughed up by the economist and Money
with David has always thank you for your time. Every
week I blish you all in love, my friend, all
involve you got it.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
I found your conversation with David's an audi about the
economy interesting. Here in Youngstown, our gas prices can vary
day to day, week to week, anywhere from two dollars
and fifty cents a gallon of three dollars fifty cents
a gallon really crazy, although of course the prices in
the grocery store seemed to be level.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
The products in this country travel on diesel fuel. Nobody
ever talks about that, and that price for diesel has
barely moved.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Love hearing from you can't have your morning show without
your voice. You's had talkback button on your iHeart radio,
have great to get your reaction and feedback. It was
David Bonsen, although we did talk a little bit about
the economy with David Zanati as well.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
The head of NATO met with the President. What's it
all about?
Speaker 12 (15:33):
The meeting with NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutto was announced
after a possible summit between Trump and Vladimir Putin was
canceled by Trump, who called it a waste of time.
Speaker 13 (15:42):
And we've had some very good discussions today and things
are going along pretty well.
Speaker 14 (15:45):
As regarding Ukraine Russia, we thought it would be a
little bit easier.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
That's turned out to be tougher than.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
The Middle East.
Speaker 12 (15:53):
Trump continues to press Putin to end the Russia Ukraine
War and announce sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies.
On Wednesday, Ruda said NATO is ready to help Trump
bring an end to the war.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
I'm Mark Neefield. John Diddy comes had a near death
experience in prison.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
A longtime friend of Ditty's tells The Daily Mail that
an inmate armed with a shive snug into Ditty's cell
with a hip hop mogul, waking up to a knife
to his throat. Diddy's lawyer mentioned at the incident during
the sentencing hearing, saying a guard stopped anything from escalating.
Combs was sentenced to fifteen months in federal prison after
being convicted on two counts of violating the Man Act.
(16:29):
I'm Jim Ruper.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is

Love to have you listen live every morning. But glad
you're here now for the podcast. Enjoy we entered day
twenty three of the government partial shut down after the
Senate fails for a twelfth time to advance a house
built last night. Meanwhile, as a country, collectively, we're at
thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. And Sounds of the day, Oh,
(17:19):
I'm so glad you're listening right now.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
She's gonna get smoked.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
He's got too and stopped.
Speaker 15 (17:26):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It's got to be a big bits understanding.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I'm going in, I'm going always away.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Do you like my garbage?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Love your garbage truck?
Speaker 16 (17:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Always revealing, often entertaining. Time for Sounds of the day.
I want to start with you know all, let's talk
about the shutdown and how far they will go and
who's to blame and YadA YadA. This is the Democrat whip,
Representative Catherine Clark discussing the shut down and the constituents
(18:03):
she's hurting and for what purpose their power? I mean,
remember how they went crazy over Doge. Well, this is
dojeon steroids, self inflicted on mainly their constituents. I don't
know how they think they're going to make a political
(18:24):
win out of this, But it's not like they don't
know who they're hurting.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Listen.
Speaker 17 (18:28):
I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be,
you know, families that are going to suffer. We take
that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the
few leverage times we have.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I mean, we take it very seriously. Well, we can't
waste this partisan political power move this moment of leverage.
Are the representing their constituents? Are they statesmen solving problems?
(19:07):
Or are they playing games and they know the games
they're playing and they're choosing the games and they know
who they're hurting.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Now do you think that's a bad moment? I kind
of like Porter.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Because you know, I can I can just picture her
throwing the hot mashed potatoes on her husband's head, and
I like watching her meltdones. But when it comes to nothing,
Burger Abigail spam Berger, I mean, just wow, how is
(19:45):
this woman the nominee representing the Democrat Party in a
state as big as Virginia? This one, I'm in awe.
I mean, this makes Kamala Harris look polished. Abigail Spamberger
(20:07):
complaining that she has to take the time to answer
questions about Jay Jones, a nutbag running for attorney general
who wants to put bullets in the speaker's head and
watch his wife hold her dead children. This guy should
be so gone, and she doesn't want to take the
time to answer any questions, but she still endorses him.
Speaker 15 (20:33):
If I'm being very honest, we are three weeks away
from an election in Virginia. I have worked tirelessly for
two years running for this office I announced in November
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
The fact that I and I say this with.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
All due respect, because you know, I think it's a fair.
Speaker 15 (20:52):
Thing for you to ask about the fact that I
have to spend even a moment's time talking about somebody
else's text message from years ago rather than what I
want to do as governor is something that I am
deeply unhappy about.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
She's deeply unhappy, and yet you indorse him.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
They wouldn't be asking this question if you didn't endorse
him and maintain your endorsement. But she can't waste the
time the seconds it takes to acknowledge that. But watch
six minutes. First of all, Katie Kirk is so sad.
She's sitting in her living room. She just can't handle retirement.
(21:35):
She's still playing the character Katie Kirk doing these interviews.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
And she asks nothing Burger, a simple question.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
About transgenders in youth sports, start the clock on a
real issue that has nothing to do with a text
message and the six minute word salid And you tell
me if you hear an answer, let alone a leader
anywhere in this.
Speaker 17 (22:08):
In this race and in other races, And what are
your thoughts on youth sports allowing trans athletes to participate?
Speaker 15 (22:17):
Well, I think that we see and I mean it's
about thirty million dollars worth of attack ads against me
related to trans youth that have run so far, and
there's there's more advice in the future, some of them
about this, most of them about this. And I think
the reason that we have seen that Republicans continue to
(22:41):
use the issue of trans kids or trans kids and
sports participation as an attack.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Is, you know, there's there's multiple levels of it. One.
Speaker 15 (22:53):
I think that broadly speaking, every pundit after the twenty
twenty four election, you know, at least in part a
tribute the Democratic loss to that one particular ad that
spoke about, you know, the sort of infamous.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
They then add, if you will.
Speaker 15 (23:09):
And so I think the takeaway from the twenty four
election for some folks was that that was, you know,
a really potent ad. And there's certainly my opponent is
trying to, you know, even copy some of the language,
you know.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
The notably the quote unquote you know is.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
For I can't waste anymore of my show with this.
She never answers the question, I mean, I don't know
what's worse that or the eighteen seconds of smiling with
Mom Donnie and the debate, and boy did that get fiery.
The final New York City Mayor's raised debate last night, Como, Mom,
(23:49):
Donnie and Sliewa, let's start with Cuomo just by.
Speaker 18 (23:54):
Their sexual orientation, isn't that a basic violation of human right?
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Thanks?
Speaker 8 (23:59):
You get.
Speaker 19 (24:03):
My politics is consistent, and my politics is built on
a belief in human rights for all people. And that
extends to queer and trans New Yorkers, and it extends
to queer and trans ugandans. And had I known that
the first Deputy Minister was the architect of that legislation,
I would not have taken that photo. And yet I
(24:24):
also know that this constant attempt to smear and slander
me is an attempt to also distract from the fact that,
unlike myself, you do not actually have a platform or
a set of policies to protect those same New Yorkers here.
All you have are the insults that you have loved
at every single opportunity you have.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Okay, no, that's it.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
This is that awkward smile moment. Mom.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Donnie tries to pull a span Burger and not answer
a question, and the other two candidates, including the moderators,
awkwardly tried to force him, but he just kept smiling.
Speaker 20 (25:06):
It was reference to the three housing related Charter Amendment questions.
I know mister Cuomo's on the record as saying he
favors them. We just heard mister slee Wa say that
he's against them. Where do you stand on those Where
are you.
Speaker 19 (25:17):
Appreciative that those measures will be on the ballot and
that New Yorkers will be able to cast their votes
for them. I know that we desperately need to build
more housing in the city, and I also know that
the jobs we create in the building of that housing
should be good jobs as well.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
Man, So what is your opinion.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Come on, yes, Born, what is your opinion?
Speaker 10 (25:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
No? True?
Speaker 16 (25:41):
Be a politician here, I got it, you know, answer smiles.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Question where was the debate at age black?
Speaker 19 (25:49):
See the two people appealing for the Republican Party's thought myself?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
And then he finally after eighteen seconds that's two people
trying to appeal to Republican votes.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Sliva did get involved. This must have made Big John happy.
Speaker 16 (26:01):
Listen, I've heard the both of them again, fighting like
kids in the school yard.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Drawn.
Speaker 16 (26:06):
Your resume could fit on a cocktail napkin, and Andrew
your failures could fill a public school library in New
York City.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
And meanwhile, the question is if Sleeva were to drop out,
what would that do to the race? Does he need
to drop out? Are the polls accurate? Are we about
to have a socialist, communist is longist mayor of our
largest city? And what impact will that have on the
midterm elections in the presidential election in two more years?
(26:39):
Anything else you would like to do on microphone?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Red?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Perhaps vomit? I did that one time. Why is Nancy here?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Shut up?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I know.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
This was another great moment. This is the one.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
They replaced the the sign language grow I guess because
it probably was a different This was spectrum news, and
when they start fighting, she's making the mean faces. But
each way, I was very distracted by that. But this
was another heated exchange.
Speaker 20 (27:13):
Let me ask you a related question, mister Guamo. Many
New Yorkers have serious grievances with Israel in the way
the Israeli government under Benjamin Netibiawu has conducted the war
in Gaza and expanded settlements in the West Bank. What
would you say to and how would you handle New
Yorkers who are in the streets if you were a
mayor protesting the actions of the Yahoo government.
Speaker 18 (27:34):
Fine, that's your right, protests, demonstrate, disagree. God bless America,
God bless New York City. And there is no doubt
that there's two sizes on what's going on, and the
passions are very high.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That doesn't that.
Speaker 18 (27:48):
Doesn't justify antisomitic.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Behavior in New York.
Speaker 18 (27:52):
It doesn't justify having a Jewish population.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That feels unprotected in New York.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It doesn't.
Speaker 18 (27:59):
It doesn't justify leaders who stoked the flames of hatred
against Jewish people, which is what Zoran does in my opinion.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
So this, you know, this is where it all is.
I don't know. I can't.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I can't fathom who's left living in New York City
or or what's driving what issues are driving this.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
It's a pure attempt at pandering.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Free free buses, free convenience stores, you know, free childcare.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
It's a pure pandit.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I don't know that if I was analyzing the debate itself,
how much ground Sleewa gained. He clearly made a run
at increasing his numbers. But the exchanges between Cuomo and
Mom Donnie to reach those Democrats, if there was any discrediting,
(29:03):
maybe some leftist Jewish vote that might not feel as
comfortable with him.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
One final heat in exchange, once again the.
Speaker 16 (29:10):
Architect of raised the age, Governor Cromo the Apprentice to him, Johan,
it's personal for me. My oldest son, Anthony last October
was a victim of a vicious gang assault that could
have killed him. And what happened to these juveniles cut
free because they went to family court, not criminal court.
(29:33):
So how can both of you look at me? I
almost lost my oldest son to gang violence, and the
perpetrators went to family court and got a little pet
on the wrist and was sent home to do it
again and again. No, we need to start charging juveniles
who commit violent crime in criminal court.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And how a point.
Speaker 16 (29:55):
Criminal court judges who follow the law and don't just relap,
he said, because of no cash bail.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean, I thought, you know, by Farsley was best
performance I could break into Johnny mathis too much, too
little to do I have And by the way, just
aggravate one of my listeners. I can't go a show
without a stephen A.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Smith moment.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
This does not mean that Stephen and I, Stephen A.
Smith and I have the same biblical view, worldview, political view,
policy views. It just means his view of someone like
Jasmine Crockett or the dysfunctional and I think it's a
combination of dysfunctional over hyperpartisan politics and the matrix and
(30:42):
the social dilemma that we're all living in. I just
like how he sensibly looks at Representative Crockett's decision to
maybe run for Senate after redistricting a senator and to
do what listen, I thought it was worth being in
Sounds of the Day.
Speaker 14 (31:00):
How Jasmin Crockett chooses to express herself.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I'm like, is that gonna help your district to Texas.
Speaker 14 (31:08):
Aren't you there to find a way to get stuff
done as opposed to just being an impediment to what
to what Trump wants?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
How much work goes into that. I'm just gonna go
off about Trump, cuss them.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Out every chance I get, say the most derogatory and
send you Everything's imagine a pull and that's my day's work.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That ain't work, And now she wants to do it
in the club of one hundred. Well, there's a reason
she's not. She's looking at that center race. They've even
drawn her district lines that she could never win with
a reasonable district line. How she thinks that's gonna translate
at the state level? Good luck? And that's your sounds
of the day.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty bark.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
They're a little bit of any of you in the media.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
You clearly missed the art of the deals. It's going
to work out?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Hey, do a survey.
Speaker 1 (32:04):

just live off social Security?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
How's that going to work? Rory's got the final story.
Speaker 1 (32:10):

Speaker 1 (33:38):
This comes to Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. Dear Michael,
you had either Zanadi It's with a ze out an
X or Decker.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
It wasn't. It was David Bonson.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Telling your listening audience the gas prices had not gone down,
and then you had the other guy on from Dividendcafe
telling us the gas prices have actually gone down. So
please get your act together so you can be trying
to First off, you listen. First of all, I don't
play that game, so stop with the If you send
nasty emails, I'm usually not going to read them or
I'm not going to respond to them personally. There's plenty
(34:10):
of talk show hosts that have play that game with you.
I don't play that game. They really didn't say anything different.
It's a perception versus reality, and it's addressing technically oil
prices are down, but they are starting to go back up.
Both were actually right, David Sanat he was talking about
giving the Democrats something to run on, some political leverage,
(34:31):
which David Bonson also acknowledged. But by and large, you know,
gas prices need to be understood. You want to fill
the reserve backup or that's going to drive them up.
You want to start exporting and drilling, You need more refineries.
It's a complex conversation. They weren't saying different things, and
it's not about getting acts together.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
And if you don't trust the show, thanks for trying
it and move on dot org. Rory's here.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
New survey says majority of Americans are planning to use
their Social Security to live on in their senior years,
but they're worried that there won't be anything left for them.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Well, we know that's coming, right, Rory.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Well right, More than fifty two percent of Americans, these
are people who have not retired yet.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Fifty two percent.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Expect to rely on Social Security benefits to put a
look over their head and food on the table. And
that's an issue not what it was designed for. But
you know, we have a demographic breakdown as well. You know,
younger people think they won't have to rely on it.
Older people, the boomers, seventy two percent say they rely
on it. I'm pretty remarkable, but yeah, seventy six percent
(35:34):
of worry the benefits won't be there. There's a study
by the Responsible Federal Budget Committee that found that they
expect to see the benefits cut about twenty four percent
by twenty thirty two. So for a duel income household,
that could be a roughly and eighteen thousand dollars annual
cut to your benefits from close security.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We got to visit on that. Mort We're going to
visit on that more tomorrow, out of time. Fifty eight
minutes after our great reporting today, Rory. Oh wait, no,
we're breaking right now.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
