In the meantime, enjoy the podcast Shine Ernie Bird Gets
the Worm, Remember the Sleepy Squirrel, Miss is the Nut.
This is your morning show for Tuesday, February the fourth.
You have Our Lord twenty twenty five. Yesterday you just
kept smooching on Red all day. Well, Red does a

(00:43):
lot of great work. Is a Picasso. When I was
like looting to get a prep sheet, I would like
to start the show by doing that myself. Okay, I
was off the air and I just looked at Red
and I said, you think Telsey's going to be okay?
Because I don't want to see her or the Dalmatians.
You know, thrown out of the screen. He goes her

(01:07):
one on one with Collins went really, well, she's safe.
Guess what the news headline is today. Collins comes out
and says, Telsa Camberd went great. She secured my comfity
and in doing so, so much for that old chestnut.
Kudos to Red on that one. We have been saying
for days and days and days. You know, everybody wants

(01:29):
to react to this tariff, and of course, you know,
the way the media works is they give you one side,
they tell you all the pain you might feel in America.
Of course, the big picture is the reality and the
disproportionate effect that would have had in Canada, which I
love when I you know, I used yesterday the analogy

(01:49):
of the Canadian couple to do the car reviews, because
you ought to get a Canadian perspective. They're over there thinking, well,
we got this creep Trudeau, who's messing this up. I mean,
we're going to go bankrupt. I mean, because that was
sixty percent of their economy would have been gone. But
nobody in America reports on that, or the reverse in Mexico.

(02:09):
And of course what everyone misses over and over again
is is what we said daily, which is this is
a negotiation. Why do we say that? Well, Ae authored
a book, The Art of the Deal. B He did
the same thing with tariffs in his first term with Mexico,

(02:29):
So it's not like the first time we've lived in
This is when you follow reality and not narratives. I
saw a meme and it's an absolute instant classic. Now
this meme is an instant classic to a long interview
I listened to well this very I could not play
you clips. The guy is so dry, very you know, academic,

(02:54):
but he's trying to show you how Donald Trump operates.
The very thing that you think is the craziest about
Donald Trump is the most brilliant about Donald Trump. And
never before Now I want to play a clip Jesse Waters.
So it kind of takes into everything that RFK Junior

(03:16):
is trying to teach us. Everything we're kind of witnessing
shooting after shooting, this cycle of mental illness and where
does it come from? And Jesse Waters in about forty
five seconds just brilliantly walks through it, and it took
my breath away. It may be the most significant, especially
on prime time talk TV. The most significant analysis I've

(03:45):
ever heard in my life. And it was begun and
ended in sixty seconds. I'm not even sure how long
it would take me to find it. I meant to
play it for you yesterday. To be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I want to tell you a little story about Jimmy.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Okay, before I get to this story, so think about
we'll get back to my analogy. I did a podcast
yesterday with comedian Jeff Allen, and I feel validated in
my add so I feel fine jumping around. So here's
the five and you know, all the ego, all the
ya and I'm watching and I'm like, and then he
launches into this and think of everything we're seeing around us.

(04:28):
Why is everybody so over medicated all of a sudden?
Why are kids, you know, so socially enact all of
a sudden? Why are they so depressed? I mean, who,
at fifteen years old can't find a reason to live.
You've got everything ahead of you and everything to live for.
What are you doing walking into school and just shooting

(04:49):
people and then killing yourself? It's going And then he
launches into this story about Jimmy. I don't think Jimmy's real.
Jimmy is an entire generation. Watch sixty seconds how powerful
this is.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Jimmy wakes up in the morning and both parents work,
so they don't have time to make them eggs, and
he has frosted flakes and fruit juice.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
So he goes to school and he's.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
All hopped up on sugar and then he crashes. And
then he does the school lunch program and he has
grilled cheese, cheetos and cherry coke, hopped up again, then crashes.
The people at the school tell the parents, man, this
kid must be bipolar or ADHD.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
You got to medicate him. So he's medicated, and.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Then he doesn't really do recess because he's looking on
his phone the whole time. After school program, he's inside,
and then he goes home, and since his parents are
helicopter parents, they don't let him outside to play in
the neighborhood because they're worried about pedophiles. So he goes
inside plops himself in front of the television until his
parents come home and they're too busy because they're back
from work, and so they order takeout more fried food,

(05:46):
and then he sits in front of his iPad before
he goes to sleep, and he doesn't get a good
sleep because he's had screen time all day, no sunlight,
and no exercise. And this cycle repeats itself for years
until he's single, suicide, over medicated, fat, sick, lonely, and depressed.
And then he turns on TV because he wants to

(06:06):
see what A Kennedy has to say about making America
healthy again.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
And what does he see.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
He sees disgusting looking senators who were funded by industry
cutting him off, so we can't even hear what the
guy has to say.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now, it's a it's a it's brilliant in and of
itself in addressing how despicable our senators have been through
this nomination process. That's a bie. That's a partisan thing, uh,
and the Democrats do it well, so therefore it's really disgusting.
And it's a great point about you got a guy

(06:38):
that was once a presidential candidate in your party, whose
family was, you know, the new frontier and camelot of
your party and maybe your most popular president arguably ever.
And and here's the nephew of Robert Kennedy who was
assassinated with some fresh ideas, and nobody wants to hear them.

(07:02):
What I don't think Jesse Waters got was the first
sixty seconds may have been one of the most brilliant
storytelling examples of the cycle we're in. Starting with the
two parents who have to work, which mainly funds government.
You got two salaries to tax, but we make things

(07:25):
so expensive. Both have to work to get by. Get by,
of course, with that house and that car and that dream.
What little Jimmy needed more anything was a mother and
a father. But the diet roll in it, the medication
roll in it, the isolation roll in it, the loneliness
roll in it. I mean, I don't think what he

(07:46):
realized in setting up how important it was that these
senators ought to listen to somebody like RFK rather than
sit there in filibuster. I don't think he realizes how
he cracked the code. What's happening an entire generation. It
was just brilliant, So I was it blew me away,
And it was fitting that it was like Jesse Waters

(08:08):
and Fox and the Fox five something I would normally
just be put off by blowy eating ego and all
that stuff. It was brilliant. The same thing happened when
I looked at this, this meme, this meme says it all,
and it brought me back to that guy I listened
to for thirty five minutes and it was so dry

(08:29):
and painful, I had to drink water, which got plastic
in my brain. Again, I'm add Yeah, so you don't
need that. Picture a circle with Trump's big orange head
in the middle, all right, and the arrows are going clockwise.
At twelve o'clock, Trump wants a foreign leader to do something.

(08:51):
At three o'clock, Trump announced announces a tariff. At six o'clock,
Left claims it won't work, he's crazy. Eight o'clock leader's cave.
Trump gets what he wants. This is what the academic
guy was trying to explain. The very thing that you
think is the most reckless, the very thing that you
think is the craziest thing about Donald Trump is really

(09:14):
his brilliance. Now, the academic guy takes you through what
normally a political leader would do and how it leads
to nowhere. Oh, it's talk. It shows he sees the problem,
it shows he's acting on the problem. But then he
gets into the process that never leads to anywhere and
nothing changes. That's not Donald Trump. He just all of

(09:36):
a sudden out the Blues starts saying something crazy like
maybe Canada should be the fifty first state. Yeah, maybe
that's the solution, And then everybody goes crazy. Are you kidding?
How disrespectful to a sovereign nation to your north that
you're minimizing them, that maybe they should just be your
fifty first state? I mean, what are you crazy? And
then we've got all kinds of parts that come from
there that's gonna jack up prices you're supposed to be

(09:57):
and everybody freaks out. But then he makes the case,
and they still don't listen, and everybody keeps freaking out.
Then he imposes the tariff. Then they listen, then they
get on the phone, and then they cave and ultimately

(10:19):
he gets what he wants. Look, I don't like that
poorest border to the north or the south, and you
all are doing nothing and you're taking advantage of us financially.
Here's what I'm gonna do. Boom. Ten thousand troops from

(10:39):
Mexico are headed to the border. Boom, there's a new
about borders hour in Canada and one point five billion
dollars for border and security. Now he's cut off the fentanyl.
Now he's cut off the drug lords. Now he's gotten
help from the two nations to secure his border promise kept.

(11:01):
But look how it started. By the way, did anybody
noticed that they they pushed the China out of the
Panama Canal? Got anyway? There they go? I mean red
put it this way. No Democrat should be allowed to
even speak out loud until they've done two things. One

(11:24):
go get the book out of the deal Amazon twelve
dollars in paperback, read it cover to cover, write a
book report, and have it graded as to whether they
understand it yet. I had somebody and this stuff does
not bother me, nor do I block them. I really don't,
but I want to use it as an example. This

(11:44):
person just trolls me constantly, and trolling me bother some people.
It doesn't bother me. I am in the truth business,
not the results business. I'm here every morning. If you
like it, you're here. If you don't, you're not. That's
the end of the transaction. But this person feels need
to troll me so at this is on Twitter or

(12:07):
x at del jonno MDG. I love John Decker, who
brings common sense to the show. Well so do we.
That's why he's here every day a goofball number one.
And there was a time I was the only one
that like John Decker. So I'm glad. You know what
I took away from this. I love John Decker too,
and he's going nowhere. Even though John Decker thought Kamala

(12:29):
Harris was gonna win, I had Trump winning with three
hundred and twelve Electoral College votes. If I could brag
for a second. He said yesterday he doesn't know what
Trump's endgame is. I felt pretty strongly. I think his
endgame has helped securing the border. I think his endgame
is help stopping the drug flow into this country. I
think the endgame is enough of you taking all of

(12:51):
our money and one sided trade deals. We're done getting
this silent treatment as you're insulating your walls with our cash.
But okay, then she goes, I love listening to you
bend over backwards to defend Trump on everything he does.

(13:15):
Good luck with that exclamation point. And I'm just wondering
where she is today and what she's thinking today. As
Mexico blinks before it even begins, Canada blinks, even with
Trudeau blinks, as Panama blinks. There's two clips in Sounds

(13:44):
of the Day that there's one with the USAID. I
cannot wait play. I grabbed it from twenty twenty three,
and it just so happens to be my favorite member
of the United States Senate ran Paul drilling Samantha Powers
at USAID about coronavirus virus funding, which, by the way,
the best part of the clip is were at the end,

(14:04):
she goes, well, that ended into twenty nineteen. Oh yeah,
right before the outbreak. Okay, so you were the cause,
but you you were You stopped funding after the outbreak,
Thanks so much. But anyway, we'll get to that. This
is there's Donald Trump in the in the Oval office.
He's talking about how much they've gotten done and how quickly.

(14:30):
And then I found this minute and a half piece
of sound with our new White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt
breaking down in ninety five seconds everything Donald Trump has
gotten done in two weeks, and it's breathtaking. Don't miss
it in our Sounds of the Day. All right, lots
coming up today, miss a little, you miss a lot,
miss a lot, and we'll miss you. But remember art

(14:53):
of the Deal. It struck again. Mexico and Canada blinked
Trump got his way if you wanted to. You're prioritizing
your security, as you should do every year. Don't abandon
that priority. That's one resolution you should keep. I'm a
gun owner, but I've added the Burner Launcher to my
toolkit to protect myself, my wife, my children, my family.

(16:26):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Del Johno. A lot
of you heard Mexico caved and blinked immediately and the
tariffs have been put on pause for thirty days. Then
late in the afternoon and evening you got news Canada
did the same. So the art of the deal strikes
again and Donald Trump gets what he wants for Mexico

(16:47):
and Canada. So much for all the tragedy you were
rehearsing for. You were like Canada and Mexico just out
fox by Trump again. Al Salvador says it'll house violent
US criminals, another Trump victory. State farm, the largest home
insurre in California's asking officials for an emergency rate hike,
blaming the move on the recent wildfires. And Willie Nelson

(17:09):
is on road again, this time with Bob Dylan. Wow,
tell you all about that road trip coming up next
half hour.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I'm Lenny McGill, McGill's world famous glock store, and my
morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna. 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

(17:39):
Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four to seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Of your morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoyed
the podcast. Well, Donald Trump has done it again right
part of the deals strikes again. Tariffs on Mexico and
Canada put on pause for thirty days. Both countries, cave
El Salvador says, will house violent US criminals and take
deportees of any nationality. It brings us to sounds of

(18:07):
the day, and it starts with Donald Trump. Do you
remember the classic army commercial? And I don't even know
if it was the eighties or the nineties, but it
was the US Army We'd get more done before nine am,
the notion that those that are protecting you have gotten
more done before you wake up and get going. It
was a great army commercial. How about if we apply

(18:31):
that to Donald Trump. I knew the minute he got
an opposite We're gonna have a hard time every day
just documenting and keeping up everything. He's getting done so fast,
and it's all the things you elected him to do.
He's not talking about it, he's not trying to do it.

(18:51):
It's done. And here comes Mexico and Canada yesterday, Here
comes Panama yesterday. That's not even on the list yet.
Here's Donald Trump in the Oval Office as he is
every day with the media, signing executive orders, explaining them,
talking about the team he's assembled and how much he's

(19:14):
gotten done.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
We have great, great people coming in. I think, I'd
like to say the best ever recruited for government. I
think we have the finest people ever.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Recruited for government. We'll take it.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
After And you know what, you're starting to see that
because we've done more in two weeks than Biden's done
in five years, six years.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
They could be here between him and Obama. You ended up.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Okay, we've done more in two weeks than they've done
in twelve years.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh, there goes Donald Trump again. We've done more than
Biden Obama did in twelve years in two weeks.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
And then some We are two weeks in and President
Trump is already delivering big wins for the American people.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Let's go through the facts.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
On the border, President Trump declared a national emergency, deployed
the military, ended catch and release, and reinstated remain in Mexico,
and already illegal crossings are down ninety five percent. We
are resuming construction of the border wall, and Columbia's president
is now offering his own plane for deportation of illegal

(20:25):
Columbian immigrants. On the economy and energy, President Trump unleashed
American energy, declared a national energy emergency, and killed Joe
Biden's radical electric vehicle mandate. Wall Street is booming. AI
investments skyrocketed to five hundred billion dollars, and there's twenty
billion flowing into US data centers across our country. President

(20:48):
Trump is restoring law and order. He labeled the drug
cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and he is deporting criminal
illegal aliens. And he signed the Lake and Riley Act
into law.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
The swamp.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
President Trump signed more than forty five executive orders. DEI
has been purged from the government, and our military and
lazy federal workers have been ordered back to the office.
And when it comes to free speech and transparency, President
Trump took twelve times more press questions than Joe Biden

(21:21):
did in a week, reinstated four hundred and forty silenced
journalists to the press room, and ended government censorship. Promise
has made promises kept.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I mean, it's just that's in two weeks, and that
doesn't include yesterday. The media was all wound up and
ready to go. This guy's nuts. They elected him to
lower the cost of living. These tariffts are going to
make everything more expensive. Look at the market, it's plummeting.
And of course, what what did it end up yesterday?
Even in all of their scare tactics. I was down

(21:54):
one twenty two, Nastak down two thirty five. Of course,
you know what the headline is today. Stock futures jump
after Canada and Mexico pause. I mean I was just
watching all of the mainstream media just whipping it up.
This guy's crazy, what's he doing? And Mexico caved immediately.

(22:18):
I mean that was by what nine thirty in the morning,
ten in the morning, something like that, Canada by early afternoon.
Now they'll just move on to usaid today, they'll just
move on to the next because they got egg all
over their face. That's why we opened the show with
anybody who still doesn't get Donald Trump, shut up, don't

(22:44):
speak until you've ordered Art of the Deal Amazon twelve
dollars paperback, read it to a book. Report will grade
you them. We'll let you know if you can speak.
I mean, how many times you have to be made
a fool of the media was all what it's going
to cost America, what's gonna cost America. Of course the
media was ignoring the truth, the reality Mexico and Canada

(23:10):
need America. America doesn't need Mexico in Canada, and they
do nothing but take advantage and disrespect us and endangerous
at the border. Well that all stops. So not on
that laundry list is Donald Trump's twenty five percent tariff
on Mexican goods. It's lady, to go into effect today,
will be delayed for a month. Will we wait and

(23:33):
see if the Mexican President, Claudia Scheinbaum, is true to
her word? And what is her word? Ten thousand Mexican
National Guard members to the border, stop the drug trafficking,
and a commitment from the United States to prevent arms
trafficking into Mexico. Canada then cave next Trump will put

(23:54):
the pause on the thirty day tariff for thirty days
on the tariff as justin Trudeau concessions. They spoke by phone.
Trudeau has promised one point three billion dollar border plan
and appointed of Fentanyl Zar. In addition, Canada will reinforce
its border with new helicopters, technology, personnel, enhanced coordination with

(24:16):
American authorities. He added nearly ten thousand personnel to work
on border protection. Donald Trump wanted to secure the border.
You elected him to secure the border well in his
second week, two weeks in, in the start of his
third week, there you go, there's Mexico and Canada. So

(24:36):
much for the scare of tariffs in the economy. Meanwhile,
you had Marco Ruvio n El Salvador. His comments were this, look,
I mean.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
My frustration with USA goes back to my time in concreens.
It's a completely unresponsive agency. It's supposed to respond to
policy directives with the State Department, and it refuses to
do something. So the functions of the USAID, there are
a lot of functions of USAID that are going to continue.
They're going to be part of American foreign policy, but
it has to be aligned with American foreign policy.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
I said very clearly.

Speaker 7 (25:16):
When we were during my confirmation hearing, that every dollar
we spend in every program we fund that will be
aligned with the national interest of the United States.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now, this was an amazing conversation he had on Fox
News and they get a little bit more specific.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
And now the head of USAID, the head of doje
Elon Musk, called USAID a criminal organization and added that
it is time for it to die.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Do you agree with that?

Speaker 7 (25:48):
They have basically evolved into an agency that believes that
they're not even a US government agency, that they are
out there a global charity that they take the tax
payer money and they spend it as a global charity,
irrespective of whether it is in a national interest or
not in the national interests. One of the most common
complaints you will get if you go to embassies around
the world from State Department officials and ambassadors and the
like is USAID is not only not cooperative, they undermine

(26:12):
the work that we're doing in that country. They are
supporting programs that upset the host government for whom we're
trying to work with on a broader scale, and so forth.
So they're completely unresponsible. They just don't consider that they
work for the US. They just think they're a global
entity and that their master is Let.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Me give you another example of that. This goes back
to I believe twenty twenty three, my favorite senator Ran
Paul and he's drilling the head of the USAID and
he's talking to her about funding for coronavirus. Listen, ms Powers.

Speaker 8 (26:43):
Did USAID fund coronavirus research in Wuhan Chinam.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
We did not fund gain of function? By the way,
does how she went to gain a function? So he
corrects her, that's not.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
Right now, And the question is, did you fund coronavirus
research in Wuhan Chinam.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Before my time?

Speaker 9 (27:01):
There was the predict program with which you're familiar, which
ended in China in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
This is a two hundred million dollar program and that
do you get this? By the way, do you get
the sense she's messing with the wrong senator playing these games? Oh? Absolutely,
so the minute she says, gatified, I didn't ask you
that as coronavirus, Oh yes, but it ended before my
tenure in twenty nineteen. Of course, in terms of coronavirus
damage done by twenty nineteen The.

Speaker 8 (27:25):
GAO has also identified that some of these grants went
directly to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where there is
a suspicion that the lab league began that began the pandemic.
Has USAID awarded funds to the Academy of Military Medical
Sciences in China, not to my knowledge, but I have
to get I think the answer is once again yes.

(27:47):
JO has found that there have been sub awards of
NIH money is probably as well as USAID money that
went to the Academy of not just medical research, military
medical research in China. Now part of the the unknowns
here is we can't get the records to look at this.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
This speaks to what Marco Ruby was talking about. They
just think they can do whatever they want and be
accountable to no one. Here's one example that led to
millions of Americans' deaths and millions and millions of deaths
around the world in the coronavirus. Watch what happens when
the very Congress that funds USAID just ask for some

(28:24):
simple records weren't even confidential.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
Listen, So I've been asking for months and months for records.
In September of last year, I wrote mispowers the USAID
a request asking for records from the predictive program.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
These are not classified.

Speaker 8 (28:39):
These are simply records of scientific research, and we want
to read the grants to find out what they were
doing and whether the research was dangerous or not. The
response I got from your agency was USAID will not
be providing any documents.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
At this time.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
They're just unwilling to give documents on scientific grant reposal.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
We're paying for it.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
They're asking for some one hundred and forty five million
dollars more in money.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
We get no response.

Speaker 8 (29:03):
So two weeks ago the ranking Member Rish, myself and
twenty five other Republican senators unfortunately so far signed a letter.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Once again, it's still no response, and they don't bother.
They just tell you we will not be responding to
you at this time. This is what Marco Ruby was
talking about, where they seem accountable to no one. Back
to Marco.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
Recording programs that upset the host government for whom we're
trying to work with on a broader scale and so forth.
So they're completely unresponsible. They just don't consider that they
work for the US. They just think they're a global
entity and that their master is the globe and not
the United States, and that's not what the statute says, and.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
That's not sustainable. Can it be reformed or does it
need to die?

Speaker 7 (29:44):
Well, that was always the goal was to reform it.
But now we have rank and subordination. Now we have
basically an active effort where their basic attitude is we
don't work for anyone, We work for ourselves. No agency
of government can tell us what to do. So the
President made me the acting iministrator. I've delegated that power
to someone who's there full time, and we're going to
go through the same process at USAID as we're going

(30:06):
through now at the State Department. I think there are
some this is not about getting rid of foreign eight.
There are things that we do through USAID that we
should continue to do that makes sense, and we'll have
to decide is that better through the State Department or
is that better through something you know, reformed USAID.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's the process we're working through.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
There are things that are happening at USAID that we
should not be involved in funding and or that we
have a lot of questions about.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
You know what, this whole clip reminds me of back
during year and a half ago when the primaries were
all beginning and we were comparing the Democrats bench. You know,
if they punt on Biden, what they got Kamala mayor Pete,
they wouldn't dare want to do the governor of California

(30:52):
and get America to compare California to Florida. Gavin nwso
would be a Nimer where there been. And of course
I kept arriving at the Governor of Maryland is their future,
but it's not time yet. We talked and talked about
how deep the Republican benches. Oh, you're seeing that bench
along with some Democrats converts like Elon Muskin, RFK Junior

(31:13):
and Chelsea Gabbard. And I go back to the very
first clip and what Donald Trump was saying, and I
think he's right. He has really put together maybe one
of the greatest teams ever.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
We have great people like people like this, We have great,
great people coming in. I think, I'd like to say,
the best ever recruited for government.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
I think. And if you got this much done in
two weeks, remember we all said, you know, what can
he reasonably get done in the first one hundred days.
I think he's going to be done in one hundred days,
and that leaves the next hundred days to prepare for
the midterm election. And there seems to be nothing that

(32:00):
they've been getting away with or been hiding under the
radar that seems out of its reach. Now, what will
the left scream about with the USAID today like they
screamed about tariffs yesterday and feel foolish about by Thursday?
The time will tell. This is your morning show with

(32:25):
Michael del Trono. Well, you knew Mexico caved, but in
case you weren't paying attention, late in the afternoon and
early evening, Canada blinked as well, Minister Justin Trudeau, since
President Trump has agreed to pause the proposed tariff on
Canada for thirty days.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
Here's why Trudeau announced the news and to post on
X hours after Trump pause planned tariffs on Mexico for
one month. Trump announced Saturday he would impose twenty five
percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada and ten
percent tariffs on goods imported from China. Trudeau and Trump
smoke by phone Monday, and afterwards the Prime Minister said
that Canada will implement a one point three billion dollar

(33:00):
planned who reinforced the border aimed at stopping the flow
of fentidel.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I'm Mark Mayfield. It's confirmation day for Telsea Gabbard and
our FKA junior. Or vote for confirmation day and thanks
for Telsea Gabbart, are looking good.

Speaker 10 (33:12):
Senator Susan Collins from Maine announced Monday she'll vote for Gabbard,
which means the former congresswoman from Hawaii will likely be confirmed.
Colins said that during the confirmation hearing and closed door meetings,
Gabard addressed her concerns regarding her views on Edward Snowden.
Snowden leaked classified information during his time as a National

(33:32):
Security Agency contractor. If confirmed, Gabard would oversee eighteen agencies
and organizations under the Intelligence Umbrella. I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Venezuelans living in South Florida could be forced to head
back to their homeland as President Trump end's temporary protection
status for three hundred thousand Venezuelans at LISTA.

Speaker 9 (33:52):
Taylor reports atalize Pharaoh with a Venezuelan American caucus. As
they only have sixty days to leave the US before
facing deportation, it.

Speaker 11 (34:00):
Is not surprising it was suspected, but is that that
doesn't make it easier or less impactful in our community.

Speaker 9 (34:10):
She says, these people are being treated like criminals, and
they're worried they'll be detained or kidnapped upon arrival. The
Trump administration says the action is needed because TPS has
been abused. I'mly Sid Taylor.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Feeling is brain fog lately? Could be all the plastic
The average human brain could contain a spoonful of microplastics.
Tammy Trilo has the details.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
A new study published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine
found that there was about seven grams in the average brain,
not as much as you'd find in a plastic disposable spoon.
The amount of plastic and brains increased dramatically between twenty
sixteen and twenty twenty four. Livers and kidneys also showed increases,
but the concentrations in brains was thirty times greater. People
with dementia had the highest levels. Health implications of microplastics

(34:56):
in the brain are as of yet unclear. I'm Tammy
TRICHEO the road.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan are going to hit the
road together once again this summer to music icons. We'll
headline the tenth anniversary edition of the Outlaw Music Festival.
The thirty five day tour will kick off May the
thirteenth and Phoenix wrap up on the nineteenth of September
in East Troy, Wisconsin. Nelson and Dylan will be joined

(35:22):
among others. Tickets go on sale Friday. And that's your
