Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael Deltruno.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have polls of plenty today. The first involves employment.
I'll tell you Read has gone from intellect blogger, policy analyst,
cultural commentator to now old fashioned cheesy talk show host.

(00:25):
What do this is what he puts in the prep?
What do our listeners think is most important in finding
a job. I'm gonna make it personal, making it about them.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
That's how you've trained him to be.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
That's good, stop, But no, I would do it a
little bit more naturally. I would say, you know, just
think about yourself. When I think about getting a job.
What would be the number one priority? Well, I want
to go somewhere that's going to allow me to do
what I love and what I'm gifted at and what

(00:54):
I'm purposed for. You do that, you'll never work a
day in your life. I'm living that right now. I
didn't until now. I always stress this. If you knew
me at my other job, you would have heard me
frequently talk on the air about how I can't stand
anybody I work for.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
All Right, I love my job.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I love who I work for, who I do it with,
what we're doing, who we're serving you, I love everything
about it, and so at that point, just take a
moment and let it breathe, because there's two ways to
look at life. Right, I need more money, Well, maybe
you need to spend less like your government.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I don't know, but.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
You could make I have made a lot of money
and been miserable, so I know it's not that.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
You can make adjustments. You can get You could.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Sell your house, get a smaller house or a condo.
I mean, we were doing this earlier in the five
o'clock hour shameless plug for the podcast, and if you
miss it, we're we're not nearly as professional in the
Platinum Horar if you want to hear what we're really like.
But we were talking about like like Jeffrey right now
is being just stupidly cheap over a TV. He's got
a TV that I'll bet weighs over one hundred pounds.

(02:01):
That's your first clue. You got to get rid of it.
The new ones you can lift with one hand. And
then TVs are so cheap, I mean fifteen hundred dollars
or even really eight hundred dollars, you can blow your
eyes away a lot of money to me, seven hundred
dollars six hundred. I'm telling you can go to Target
today and for four hundred dollars get a TV that

(02:22):
blows your money.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, So I mean there's is no reason. Now why
do I say that? Same reason I talk about mattresses.
I don't know anything about your life, but I know
you're gonna spend eight hours in that mattress a day.
There's nothing you're going to spend more time with than
your mattress.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Why would you be cheap with your mattress? Oh, I
spend a lot of money on a matters.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Get the best mattress and drive a cheaper car for
crying out loud, it lifts up and you're probably from
that mattress watching that televisions The second thing you're gonna
spend most time with. But where are you going to
spend the second or third most time of your life
at work? No amount of money's worth being miserable and
doing something you don't like doing. So, I mean, I
just cannot relate to this. Polls of plenty, we got

(03:02):
more Americans looking for jobs than ever before. Here's their priorities,
and I think they're absolutely backwards. The number one priority
is work life balance and personal well being. Number two
is pay and benefits, Number three is stability and job security,
and number four is a job that allows me to
do what I do best. I would have thought that

(03:23):
would be well. I can tell you that may be
the reality, but it should be the opposite. You should
know what your gifting is, you should know what your
passion is. You should know what your purpose is, and
if you can inlign that with your job, you will
never work a day in your life and no amount
of money won't be enough. WHOA thank you, my one listener.

(03:45):
I appreciate that, Rick Flair. Stability and job security is
next right. I've seen people leave good jobs where they
were appreciated that they enjoyed what they were doing for
more money. In one case I can think of, off
the top of my head, for twice as much money,

(04:05):
but the job ended eight months later. Would they have
been better off making seventy grand for another fifteen years
or was it great to get that one hundred and
fifty for six months and then be unemployed. I would
think it'd be a job that allows me to do
what I do best, then stability and security, then pay
in benefits, and finally work life balance personal but it's

(04:30):
just the opposite. And by the way, when you break
it down by generations, it is opposite.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
For baby boomers.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Fifty three percent said a job that allows me to
do what I do best. Forty three percent is it
provides greater stability at job security. Forty percent is it
significantly increases my income or improves my wealth my benefits package. Interestingly, though,
the it jumps ahead of the other two and comes

(05:03):
in second is greater work life balance a better personal
well being. Now, but these numbers, by and large, you
go to gen X and it starts taking the shape
of a little bit of both. You get to millennials
and it goes directly net order. Sixty five percent said
work life balance. Then fifty nine percent said significantly increases
my income and improves my benefit packages, followed closely by

(05:28):
at fifty eight percent, provides greater stability and job security
last allows me to do what I to best. And
I just think you're playing with fire there. You arrive
and it's even worse with gen Z. You arrive at
that you're gonna make money, You're gonna have stuff. But
you know what, we all have capacity issues. No matter what.

(05:51):
There's only twenty four hours in a day, and if
you spend eight of them sleeping, now you're down to
sixteen and half of that will be spent at work
or more. And if you're not doing something that allows
you to do what you do best, something that you're passionate,
I see a future of maybe money and things, but
not happiness. Pretty revealing poll. All right, so we can't

(06:17):
think of a single cabinet member who doesn't have at
least fifty percent favorability. You finally found it, Cash Patel,
after the Democrats and the liberal mainstream media legacy media
through the kitchen sink at Cash Patel all during his
Senate confirmation process. He starts with a forty seven percent

(06:42):
favorability rating, and there's a seventeen percent of individuals that
he could move to favorable.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
The Epstein file.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Releasing this clog today could push him over fifty percent.
I remember, like it was yesterday, contributors on this show saying, well,
they're gonna have a hard time with Cash, matel.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Oh, they're gonna don't.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't see how they're gonna get Heck sat through.
No way you get Tulsea Gabbard or our FK jun
you're let alone both and of course every cabin member
is at the table, and everyone is roughly at fifty
percent or higher approval rating. We've said from the very
beginning the difference between Donald Trump's second presidency and his

(07:34):
first is he's different, forged by assassination attacks and forged
by lessons learned. He surrounded himself with perfect, great people,
and the American people are behind him, and that leaves
just the Democrats to play the obstruction game. And we
went through that last hour, the crazy obstruction game. They're playing,

(07:55):
we want debt, we want waste. Now they're like, we
want fedinl they're opposing a bipartisan bill to target drug
lords and halt the flow of fedanol. I mean, they

(08:16):
don't have a message, they don't have a leader, and
they don't have any affirmation or feedback coming from anyone
because they can't get it from media, they can't get
it from newspapers.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
They can't even talk about themselves.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think the real strategists are plotting, but for those
that are speaking, it's crazy talk. And here's the most
negative revealing thing about the left I can reveal today.
A shocking Gallup poll wraps up our polls up plenty
sixty percent of Democrats are anti Israel, first time ever
for a major US political party. I followed this. I

(08:53):
follow two things. The Islamist world uniting right now. Fortunately
they don't know get along. But when they all get
on the same page and they, along with Arab nations
and enemy nations, unite against Israel, I know we're living
in a different time, and I know that a big
piece of that is American support. When America turns its

(09:16):
back on Israel, it will pave the way for the
world to unite against Israel, which will pave the way
for very grim days, very latter days, if you will. Well,
one of the two parties, and we're not supposed to be,
but we are a two party system, one of the
parties is anti Israel. Only thirty three percent of Democrats

(09:37):
said they have a favorable view of Israel, while a
whopping sixty percent said they viewed the Jewish state unfavorably.
By comparison, eighty three percent of Republicans had a favorable
view of Israel, only thirteen percent unfavorable. Overall, fifty four

(09:58):
percent of the Americans surveyed had a favorable view of
Israel forty one percent unfavorable. There's a lot of things,
there's a lot of cultural change going on. This one
has yet to shift. I will bless those who bless her.
I will curse those who curse her. This nation, if

(10:19):
it is under God. That was yesterday. One of the
two parties is completely against Israel, and the country as
a whole is fifty to fifty. Watch that scale unless
you lose track of the hour in which you live.
That's our poles a plenty.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your morning show with Michael del Churno.
