Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happierre here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this togiven.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill. Join off
seven minutes after the hour. Welcome, one and all.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
It is Tuesday, March the eleventh, twenty twenty five on
the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
the show that belongs to you, not just a name.
We're here to serve you and feature you. More of
your talkbacks coming up in just a little bit. House
Minority Leader HACKEM. Jeffreys expects Democrats to vote against this
first proposal by the Republicans. Rough day on Wall Street yesterday,
(00:54):
as everybody is tense waiting for the bell to ring
today and well I can tell you down Musk is
calling it an act of being a trader. After Arizona
Senator Mark Kelly went to Ukraine, I think it's intrusive.
I don't know that it's treason, but we got a
lot to talk about that, the peace talks, the growing
(01:17):
trade war with Canada, Canada's new prime minister, and Stephen Buci,
who is a Heritage senior foreign policy fellow, joins us
on the liveline. Steve, let's start with Senator Mark Kelly.
I do think this is a political move for him.
He's trying to capture an open lane, which is the
(01:38):
old Cold War sentiment to anti Soviet so on and
so forth. It does kind of beg the question is
the Trump administration creating this open door? I mean, why
hasn't Rubio or even Vance been to Ukraine. After all,
you're negotiating an end of this war. The visit shouldn't
(02:01):
be completely off the table, I wouldn't think, But what
say you.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Look, how countries do this kind of diplomacy is kind
of a wide open field. The Trump administration has had
General Kellogg, who is designated as the guy for Ukraine,
and had the other guy, Steve Something, the one who
went and got the guy out of Russia. I can't
(02:29):
remember his last name, but he's another special envoy. He's
been to Ukraine. So the Secretary and the Vice President
don't need to go. But senators should not be doing this.
Senators from any party should not be doing this.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's wrong. It screws up the program that.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
May be going on, and it's all political theater. They
do it because they want to have the show. Frankly,
Senator Kelly didn't exactly cover himself in glory when he
was doing the questioning of Tulsa gabbered, and she made
him look kind of foolish. His national security chops are
(03:10):
not very.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Good, so nobody but he's probably by him to gain
some Yeah, well he's he's staring at the polls for
twenty twenty eight. He sees nobody above thirteen percent. He
sees Kamala in last place. There's no place for Tim Walls.
The rest is Newsome and others, and then the one
I think it's going to be Wes Moore. I think
(03:31):
him going to Ukraine is about him running for president.
Quite frankly, that whether it's treason or just interference, that's
for the.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
American people decide.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, it's not treason, you know, unless he's cutting a
deal separately and deliberately undermining what President Trump is trying
to do.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Then it you know, then it has to.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Be evaluated by lawyers to see if it makes that standard.
But in general, it's bad policy, it's bad form, and
for him, it's completely self serving. He's not there to
help the Ukrainian people. He's there to help his poll numbers.
And and come on, get a life. You're not the
only thing he's got going for him is he was
(04:13):
an astronaut and his wife got shot. Uh, those are
not exactly, you know, strong credentials to make you a
presidential candidate.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That speak, that was harsh, But I can't disagree.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Steved Butchi is joining us. All right, we got a
new prime minister in Canada. What do we know about
this guy other than just here comes another.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Liberal rights You know, look, first of all, we should
probably stop poking the Canadians about being the fifty first state.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
They're they're getting a little sensitive about it. Now.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I live in Michigan, right near Canada, and they're they're
very nice people generally, but this one seems to have
rubbed them the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And to be honest with you, I.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Don't think President Trump wants Canada to be the fifty
first state. He just realized he was really going to
annoy Trudeau, who really doesn't like But look, the Canadian
people are one of our best allies. But there's been
some inequities that President Trump is trying to remedy, and
they don't like it because it's going to cost them
(05:12):
some money, but we do. They live right north of us,
so we got to work with these guys. And hopefully
this new Prime Minister, regardless of his personal political ideology,
will realize for the good of the Canadian people, he
needs to walk with President Trump so that we can
(05:33):
benefit both countries. And I hope we'll get to that point.
I'm not sure President Trump just enjoys the ticking somebody
your ribs too much. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
His style is not my style, but his style has
been very effective. And I'm just a show on the radio,
so I try not to armchair quarterback. I probably wouldn't
have framed things the way he did. This is from Ontario,
speaking of Michigan. Listen to this news story. The electricity
exports from Ontario, Canada the US are being hit with
(06:04):
a surch charge.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Listen.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a twenty five percent increase Monday.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Believe me when I say I do not want to
do this.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I feel terrible for the American people because it's not
the American people who started this trade war.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
All right, Are we in a trade war? I don't
think so.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
We could be if we keep this going, and if
we get stupid and they get stupid. But I think
President Trump is just trying to fix some systemic unbalanced
that's been there for a long time and bring it
a little He didn't even say we're going to make
everything exactly equal. He just wants to balance the books
(06:47):
a little bit. I don't think that's unfair. I realize
why the Canadians don't want it, but it's not like
he's sitting there trying to destroy the Canadian government or
anything else. So no, I don't think we're going to
trade war. We're having some difficulties between two allied nations,
some disagreements, and we need to get those six, but
(07:10):
probably take it out of the public space and the
political posturing and do some negotiations behind closed doors that
make sense.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We need to do a lot more of that.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
There's too much stuff being you know, adjudicated in the
press and the press doesn't want to help. They don't
want to stir up more controversy. Yeah, that's no offense
to radio hosts or anything.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
But no, no, no, no, I absolutely believe there's one
of the good guys. No, but there's a drip, drip, drip.
That's the narrative that the left has.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Certainly.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Look, I don't think the media has any influence anymore,
and the election is proof of that. I think journalism
is dead. I think the audience is gone, the revenue
is not there. They're dead, and they just don't know it,
all right, But they still give us a good read
of their hand because they're still at the cabal table.
(08:02):
So clearly the left sees the vulnerability for Donald Trump
is the economy, and they've got to pounce on the
short term of this process. What do I mean by that, Well,
what Donald Trump's doing is brilliant and he will win,
and he'll win against Canada in the long run if
they really want that fight. But he can lose in
the short term. And so look how they're selling the
market being down yesterday, and how this is the lowest
(08:25):
the market has been and the biggest losses since a
president has experienced since two thousand and nine, recession is
on the table. The American people are riddled in debt.
Why they're even blaming egg costs on him. So this
is a drip drip drip of a narrative. But you're
right that aside that's an ally country attached to us,
(08:45):
we should go get this all resolved. I mean, I
understand having these longer fights with China, maybe even to
some degree with Mexico, but they should not exist with Canada.
But I will say this, in the long run, Donald
Trump holds the cards because they need us a lot
more than we need them, with the exception of what
Michigan may be paying now for electricity.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, and that's you know, it affects everybody.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
And look the guy in Ontario there, he's actually a
good friend of America.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You listen to him.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
He appears more American than you know, some of the
people we have on our side.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Of the border.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
But we've got to work this out and and that's
what friends do over time.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
And you're right.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
The press wants to stir up the controversy now to
try and damage Trump, and because they're just a gas
at the level of his popularity, they thought for sure
everybody'd go crazy with doze in all these cuts, you know,
and eighty percent of Americans are going, no, why didn't
we do this sooner?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Now, some of my former colleagues in the federal government
are not very happy.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But I have to tell you, a reduction.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
In force is some then I went through five different
times in my career in the military. It happens, and
it happens in the federal government. It's just we've we
don't normally do it across the entire government simultaneously, so
there is some pain.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The press, who.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Normally would would not be that worried about federal workers
are suddenly, you know, they're best friends just because they
know it. Will you know, splash mud on President Trump
and Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But we've got to get past this.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
These are good measures to save money and put things
back in balance and hopefully stop the liberals from using
the federal workforce for.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Their own uh plans. Uh. And that's that's what we've
got to do.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Williams, get on with it, as Vanessa Williams would, saying,
I saved the best for last. Even Boucci, Heritage Senior
fellow Foreign Policy joining US all right, I don't I
don't think Mark Kelly going to I mean, if Zielinski
hasn't learned his lesson from that Friday in the Oval office,
who to listen to and take excuse from, Well, then
(11:09):
we've got bigger problems. But let's go to Marco Rubio
this trip to negotiate. Uh, what's what's the keys to
negotiating an end of this Russian Ukraine war? And how
big of a task is it?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Uh, It's a big one because you're trying.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
You know, upfront, there's almost no possibility of everybody being
happy at the end of it. There's no way that
both sides can get what they want. The Ukrainians want
Russia all out. The Russians want to keep everything they've gotten,
maybe get a little more. They want total control over
Ukraine's future. Uh, and who they can talk to, what
(11:44):
they can do. Both of those are just non reachable positions.
So he's got to negotiate something that both sides can
live with, number one, and to at least lie and say, yeah,
we really won, this was a good deal, because that's
the way leaders in that part of the world require
(12:06):
themselves to stand. And that's going to be tough to reach,
and he's a good man. I think he's got the
right instincts and hopefully he can pull it off.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But boy, it's not an easy list for sure, and
if he does.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Speaking of politics, he could be the front runner come
twenty twenty eight if he can pull this off all right.
For Ukraine, clearly they just want assurances whatever they agree
to doesn't lead to another invasion.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's clearly what they want putin.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
How much is this saving face and keeping the door
open for reassembling that Russian map that I think he's
really after.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
He needs to keep the crimea, keep all the don
boss and whatever else he can hold on to. He
wants to continue to control the coastline so that he
could control commerce through there. He really really wanted all
all of the week because that would give him another club,
(13:03):
not just energy, but then food to use against the
West and other countries.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
And I think that's a that's a step too far.
He's gonna get all that, uh, And that's gonna really
upset him because he just he doesn't like to lose,
and he's been upset since Jelson let the.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Country break up. Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
And that's sorry, that's history, buddy, Uh, and you lost.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So even Stephen, remember, go ahead, finish.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
He's not He's not really a superpower anymore. He's an
organized crime organization that sadly has nuclear weapons and that's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And if he can kick the can, you may kick
it beyond his reign. Stephen Butcher is never a pinch hitter.
He is one of our biggest power hitters. Thanks for
filling in for Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, Steven, always my
honor and pleasure.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Thank you, sir, my pleasure. Might take care. It's your
morning show with Michael Delchano. You heard Stephen Bouchie.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
The heavy lifting for Marco Rubio is ending this war
with Russian Uklearine.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
The easy was cutting the USAID program budget.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
In a post on x, Rubio said fifty two hundred
contracts were canceled that would have cost tens of billions
of dollars. The Secretary of State said the contracts didn't
serve the US and harmed the nation's national interests in
some cases. Rubio said the remaining programs will now be
administered under the State Department. It comes as Elon Musk's
Department of Government Efficiency. Continues to make cuts across the
(14:35):
federal government. I'm Mark Neyfield. Well, I think it's intrusive.
I think it's political grandstanding. I'm not sure it's treason.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But Elon Musk says, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is a
trader for visiting the Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
The Democrat posted photos of his visit on X on Sunday. Mosk,
the tech billionaire who owns X, replied to the thread. Kelly,
who's a former Navy pilot and astronaut, responded to Musk, saying,
if you don't understand and that defending freedom is a
basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe,
maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.
(15:08):
I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Cos Minority leader Hahim Jeffries expects Democrats to vote against
the spending bill proposed by the Republicans. That's the drama
of the week, a continuing resolution or a government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Tammy Trichio has more.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Jeffries said during a Monday news conference, the bill is
something they could never support.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
House Democrats will not be complicit in the Republican effort
to hurt the American people.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Yeah, that the bill does nothing to protect Social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid. Republics are expected to bring the bill to
the House floor on Tuesday. Down a new spending bill,
the federal government would shut down on Friday. I'm Tammy Tricho.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Chrispy Kreme is rolling out a new collection of donuts
just in time for Saint Patti's Day.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
The North Carolina based donut chain unveiled four new times
on Monday, including the Pot of Gold donut It's an
original glazed donut, Dipton Care your Old Butter Cream, and
gold glitter sprinkles. Krispy Kreme is also giving away a
Point of Gold pass to random customers on March seventeenth,
offering free donuts for a year.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Made the luck of the Irish be with you. I'm
Mark Mayfew, I say I'm feeling a weed, beat Tyrish.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I'm Orando Maths in Smyrna, Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
And My Morning show, It's Your Morning Show with Michael
Dale Journal.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's Michael Your Morning Show could be heard live weekday
mornings five to eight am, six to nine am Eastern
in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
We'd love to join you on the drive to work live,
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
The Vatican says doctors have lifted their guarded prognosis of
Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
He continues to approve.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Elon Musk, says Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Is a traitor after visiting Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
And we're all a little on edge waiting for the
opening bello of the market after being down on the
dow side a thousand almost yesterday.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
What will today hold that? What hold them?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
The angry grumpy redline is ringing, Oh boy, can have
your morning show without your voice, even if it's grumpy.
To Saint Louis, I don't know what's going on, but
say wes Moore's name one more time.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't know you're in love with him or what
I love him?
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Why?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Why are you such a shrill and mention his name
every day?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Shrill?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Give it a break, Stop it. He's a loser. It's schill.
First of all democrats.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
That I'm a democratic disguise first and foremost. If I
brought up wes Moore every day for no reason, that
would be troubling, but I don't. Secondly, we were talking
to a military expert about Arizona Senator Mark Kelly going
to Ukraine. Is he a trader or is he just
(17:53):
interrupting and disrupting or is he taking political grandstanding advantage?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I think, and.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That would be part of my job to tell you
what I think and then you can respond in two ways.
I think he's looking at the polling for twenty twenty
eight candidates and he sees there's not a single Democrat
above thirteen percent. In other words, there is a wide
open lane for somebody to run for president in four
years now. Of the people, Kamala isn't last. Tim Walls
(18:25):
doesn't even show up, and that was just their ticket.
So that leaves Gavin Newsom really and Ben Shapiro Pennsylvania
and Wes Moore. That was the context in which I
brought up Wes Moore. Although I gotta tell you when
the light hits him just right, he is my type.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
What are you nuts, hey? If you're just waking up?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
We often say always revealing, but many times entertaining.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It's time for the sounds of the diaryd outright our raight.
This is CNN this is the news, and that's a
lot more people are watching the cartoon Networks. Lunch Robbery runs.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Right now, Big a Democrat, this is like a goldstone
in a past.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
We should have a government that just minds its own
damn business.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Ever accuses me of being in love with Kamala Harris
when I bring her up. All right, So yesterday Tim
Walls has a news conference with Politico with a hundred
Democrats there, and he starts analyzing why they lost, never
brings himself up and basically pins.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It all on.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
We had a short runway and we took a very
very conservative path. We played prevent defense. We should have
done more town hall meetings. We should have done all
those podcasts. That's why we lost. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is
having a town hall and trying to explain innovation. Tell
(19:52):
me if she does also, I think you figure out
quickly why Our question of the day was is she
drunk or is she insane?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So I was willing to give up whatever might.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Be the trackings of Kamala Harris's.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Particular I fondness for Nacho chies Dorito's for the sake
of getting it behavior, And that's right. But here's the thing.
At what point do we also.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Uplift and highlight the consumer's right to also expect And.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You can debate with me if it should be right.
I think it should to expect that.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
The innovation would also be weighted in terms of solving.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Their everyday problems, which are beyond my craving for Dorrito's
but about whatever. And I know the work is happening around,
you know, the scientific discoveries, for example, to cure law
standing diseases.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
But I'm gonna throw out another one and you all again,
please get back to me and.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Information you have. I would love it if there would
be an investment of resources.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
In solving the affordable housing issue in America. Can you imagine.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
If you were in her class and she was your professor,
what notes would you have just taken?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Drunk? Are insane?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
And then again, speaking of school as an analogy, there's
always all of the above, isn't there?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right? Here's a great exchange.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
This is CBS reporting, and all while they're doing this report,
by the way, remarkably fair and accurate for CBS watch
as they described the border today compared to when it
was Biden Harris away from Mexico or camera captured by
heavily fortified a US border.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
This has been known for so many years for the
high level of zmuggling activity.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
That has been true historically, but not anymore. The activity
is very slow.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
There's multiple factors attached to why we have seen a
significant drop in apprehensions recently. One of them, of course,
has consequences.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And you believe that is due to new policies from Washington, DC.
It has a lot to do with that.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It is quite here at the US Mexico border where
illegal cross. By the way, I just have to interrupt
and tell you, do you remember all during the Biden administration,
whenever they would be shot to the border, it was
just like, as far as the eye can see, bodies
just walking towards the border, walking through completely, not even
being stopped. I'm telling you, there's not a human being
(22:54):
within three miles eyeshot of this reporter. All I could
think of is I was watching this report. The media
and the Democrats all said we needed legislation. Turns out
we just needed a president.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well. Stephen A.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Smith is the number one voice of the Democrat Party,
usually critical, and yesterday he did have some words for
Elon Moss amplifying Ben Shapiro's call for Derek Chauvan pardon,
and then he launched in again to the dilemma the
Democrats find themselves in.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Kevin Newsom's running throwing podcasts now talking to Republicans. Okay,
if you can believe that, Yeah, you got the Democrats
showing up for Trump's address to both Houses of Congress
looking like damn fool having videos with a dancing You.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Got to be kidding me, Simon down.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Two people on the screen at the same time, same
man is saying the same damn thing as if that
resident that message is gonna resonate. He got a representative
like Al Green out of Texas, seventy seven years old,
obviously has fought the good fight, but now incredibly immature
and undisciplined, wouldn't even give Trump a chance to speak,
(24:22):
and he had to get removed.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
From the House.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And then yesterday ten Democrats joined with House Republicans to
censure Al Green from Texas for his protest during President
Trump's addressed the Congress Tuesday night. Trump didn't even have
an opportunity to pass gas and this man.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Standing a protest.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
What nobody begs the question, how many Democrats feel the
same way he does as they struggle and search for
a messenger and a message. Obviously a lot or Stephen A.
Smith wouldn't be turning so political now the thing we're watching.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
There, Wes More, Wes Moore. I gotta do that. Just
aggorate that guy.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
He's gonna in all of that and all of Steven A.
Smith's attempts to be John the Baptist for Wes Moore?
Is he gonna end up being the Christ for the
Democrats if he keeps this up? I love this. This
is the government employees doge protest on the steps of
the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I I could talk.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
About fear because I know many many federal workers.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
When you wake up ory, when you're on your.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
Weekend and you get the fork in the Road message
or you get the subsequent five bullets, Hey, what the
hell did you do?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You lazy federal worker?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I don't think that's how the the email was worded.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Number one. Number two.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Most employees are used to having bosses, supervisors, expectations, job descriptions.
I mean, do you realize how revealing this is about
federal employees? How dare anybody ask us what we did today.
(26:06):
That's breathtaking to me in and of itself. But she
continued this, how frightening.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Is it that someone on X, the owner of X,
speaks to you directly to say, what did you do
last week at work? And if you don't answer, I
am going to fire you. But even more egregious, the
(26:37):
president comes out, the most powerful person in the land
and endorses that message. How do you think that makes
federal workers feel?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I can tell you during the greatest recession, of the
great depression of the Obama administration, when we were all
getting furloughed and losing our jobs and your jobs were secure,
I a noticed you didn't have anything to say on
our behalf Number two, why are you wearing a mask outside?
As rie elon Musk, He was asked point blank, what
(27:11):
is it he's doing?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Does it work? Let the public know? Please?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Right, Well, we just basically follow the money, you know,
we look at the presidents executive vorders and we.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Also just follow the money.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
So we started looking closely at usci D because they
were completely violating the presence executive voters to suspend foreign
foreign aid. You know's what's called foreign aid. But in
our view is a lot of corruption. So what we
saw there is just a trans amount of money being
sent to non governmental organizations. But actually it's this, by
(27:48):
the way, is I think one of the biggest sources
of fraud in the world is government funded non governmental organizations.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
This is a.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Gigantic fraud loopole where the government can give money to
an NGO and then that there were no controls o
that NGO, so they've given emulate.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The blank check.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Do Stacy Abrams who bought appliances for almost a third
of Georgia in exchange for their votes? You mean like that,
Rick Scott, I only have time for one of the two.
You know what, I'm gonna pick this one only because
I just love In the Death of Journalism, how CNN
(28:29):
and Jake Tapper don't realize why they're dead. You know,
it's kind of like a guy who already died of
lung cancer and the corpse is still trying to smoke cigarettes.
So listen to how the question is asked of Rick
Scott and then the very simple answer Rick Scott gives
that resonates with about eighty percent of the American people happening.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
We've seen people at the veterans crisis line, fired, then rehired.
We've seen people investigating pandemics, infectious diseases, fired, then rehired.
Beyond that, as Musk takes his chainsaw to the government, as.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You make this chain saw to the government, Oh god.
Speaker 12 (29:08):
Now, about thirty percent of our federal workforce in the
United States, about thirty percent are veterans, and a majority
of that thirty percent are disabled veterans.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
So if you address any kind of government waste, mismanagement
or overspending, you're throwing disadvantaged veterans to the curb.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Oh that's a mouthful.
Speaker 12 (29:35):
Meanwhile, the VA is also preparing to slash up to
seventy thousand VA jobs providing critical services to veterans. You're
a veteran, you served honorably in the Navy. Are you
concerned about that.
Speaker 13 (29:47):
We have to rein in the size of government, right, right,
and then we have to make sure everybody can get
a job. Now, you do that by reducing regulation. You
do that by streamlining the per main process. You do
that by growing the private sector, not growing the size the.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Government in Washington.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
Government in Washington is way too big. It's causing our inflation.
Is causing interest rates to be high, and there's no
When Donald Trump took office, I can just tell you
my experience is there was no accountability in government and
there's no transparency. That's what Elon Musk, that's where agency is.
That's what Donald Trump is trying to bring to the table.
And they're gonna do it. They're going to figure this out.
I'm very optimistic that we can get this done and
(30:23):
balance a budget. Donald Trump has promised to balance a budget.
I'm very I did as government Florida. This is all doable.
Speaker 12 (30:30):
Are you confident balance the way that these cuts have
been taking place.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Balancing the budget and getting by this continuing resolution crisis?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Two different things? Have been strategic, have been wise? Have
been careful?
Speaker 12 (30:44):
How can you look at experts in nuclear weapons being
fired then rehired and think, oh, this process is working
exactly as.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It should be.
Speaker 13 (30:53):
I'm a business guy, Jake, You do you best you
can every day. What they're trying to do is reign
and government are every day. Are they going to be perfect? No,
no one's perfect. Are they when they make a mistake?
Are they going to fix it?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Now here's the good news. This all seems like chaos, right,
only because the media is still at the cabal table.
The American people see through all this and they're completely
behind the president and what he's doing, and they know
why he's doing it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
I often get messages from people like got a couple
today listening to that word salad from Kamala Harris, whether
it was drunk or insane. Thank god she's not president. Yeah,
and thank god the media is dead and has no
influence that your Sounds of the Day.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of their sentence. I don't think he knows what he said.
He does, it's got to be a bigness of it.
I'm how do you like by you? This is your
morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Of all the stories, I want you to hear this one.
You see, after Donald Trump's victory, the Democrats were about
to appoint their star communicator, and yes they believe it's
their star representative, Alexandria Ocazio Cortes AOC and they were
going to appoint her as the chair of the powerful
(32:34):
Oversight Committee to hold Trump and all his cronies accountable.
What you can tell is their number one battle, right wrong.
There's someone who blocked it. Who blocked the appointment? Was
it a king Jefferys? I mean, who else would have
the Nancy Pelosi personally intervened to block it? Now, Nancy
(33:00):
Pelosi has yet to publicly announced her twenty twenty six candidacy,
but we kind of all could tell watching her at
the President's speech, chewing on her dentures.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
She looks like she's.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Got a lot of fight left in her. But will
she run? Time will tell. She has filed the required
paperwork to run. So the assumption is, and they all
stay till the toad tag arrives, she will, and she'll
be eighty six in March. It's insane right to think
(33:31):
somebody this age could still be running for Congress. But
she's going to have an opponent in the primary. And
guess who it is. AOC's chief of staff, thirty nine
year old Sakat Chuck Erbardi. Remember what I always tell you,
(33:56):
The Democrats have a two front war. Yeah, they're playing
the obstructionists, not just opposing party to Donald Trump and
fighting against him, and Republicans an all boogeymen, but they're
also fighting themselves. I don't think an establishment Democrat Party
even exists anymore. You've got progressives at war with the
Justice Democrats, and the Justice Democrats just sent their chief
(34:22):
of staff from AOC's office to defeat Nancy Pelosi for
not allowing AOC to be appointed. Ah the web they weave,
and that's our final savor today.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael nhild Joano
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happierre here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this togiven.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill. Join off
seven minutes after the hour. Welcome, one and all.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
It is Tuesday, March the eleventh, twenty twenty five on
the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
the show that belongs to you, not just a name.
We're here to serve you and feature you. More of
your talkbacks coming up in just a little bit. House
Minority Leader HACKEM. Jeffreys expects Democrats to vote against this
first proposal by the Republicans. Rough day on Wall Street yesterday,
(00:54):
as everybody is tense waiting for the bell to ring
today and well I can tell you down Musk is
calling it an act of being a trader. After Arizona
Senator Mark Kelly went to Ukraine, I think it's intrusive.
I don't know that it's treason, but we got a
lot to talk about that, the peace talks, the growing
(01:17):
trade war with Canada, Canada's new prime minister, and Stephen Buci,
who is a Heritage senior foreign policy fellow, joins us
on the liveline. Steve, let's start with Senator Mark Kelly.
I do think this is a political move for him.
He's trying to capture an open lane, which is the
(01:38):
old Cold War sentiment to anti Soviet so on and
so forth. It does kind of beg the question is
the Trump administration creating this open door? I mean, why
hasn't Rubio or even Vance been to Ukraine. After all,
you're negotiating an end of this war. The visit shouldn't
(02:01):
be completely off the table, I wouldn't think, But what
say you.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Look, how countries do this kind of diplomacy is kind
of a wide open field. The Trump administration has had
General Kellogg, who is designated as the guy for Ukraine,
and had the other guy, Steve Something, the one who
went and got the guy out of Russia. I can't
(02:29):
remember his last name, but he's another special envoy. He's
been to Ukraine. So the Secretary and the Vice President
don't need to go. But senators should not be doing this.
Senators from any party should not be doing this.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's wrong. It screws up the program that.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
May be going on, and it's all political theater. They
do it because they want to have the show. Frankly,
Senator Kelly didn't exactly cover himself in glory when he
was doing the questioning of Tulsa gabbered, and she made
him look kind of foolish. His national security chops are
(03:10):
not very.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Good, so nobody but he's probably by him to gain
some Yeah, well he's he's staring at the polls for
twenty twenty eight. He sees nobody above thirteen percent. He
sees Kamala in last place. There's no place for Tim Walls.
The rest is Newsome and others, and then the one
I think it's going to be Wes Moore. I think
(03:31):
him going to Ukraine is about him running for president.
Quite frankly, that whether it's treason or just interference, that's
for the.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
American people decide.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, it's not treason, you know, unless he's cutting a
deal separately and deliberately undermining what President Trump is trying
to do.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Then it you know, then it has to.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Be evaluated by lawyers to see if it makes that standard.
But in general, it's bad policy, it's bad form, and
for him, it's completely self serving. He's not there to
help the Ukrainian people. He's there to help his poll numbers.
And and come on, get a life. You're not the
only thing he's got going for him is he was
(04:13):
an astronaut and his wife got shot. Uh, those are
not exactly, you know, strong credentials to make you a
presidential candidate.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That speak, that was harsh, But I can't disagree.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Steved Butchi is joining us. All right, we got a
new prime minister in Canada. What do we know about
this guy other than just here comes another.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Liberal rights You know, look, first of all, we should
probably stop poking the Canadians about being the fifty first state.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
They're they're getting a little sensitive about it. Now.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I live in Michigan, right near Canada, and they're they're
very nice people generally, but this one seems to have
rubbed them the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And to be honest with you, I.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Don't think President Trump wants Canada to be the fifty
first state. He just realized he was really going to
annoy Trudeau, who really doesn't like But look, the Canadian
people are one of our best allies. But there's been
some inequities that President Trump is trying to remedy, and
they don't like it because it's going to cost them
(05:12):
some money, but we do. They live right north of us,
so we got to work with these guys. And hopefully
this new Prime Minister, regardless of his personal political ideology,
will realize for the good of the Canadian people, he
needs to walk with President Trump so that we can
(05:33):
benefit both countries. And I hope we'll get to that point.
I'm not sure President Trump just enjoys the ticking somebody
your ribs too much. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
His style is not my style, but his style has
been very effective. And I'm just a show on the radio,
so I try not to armchair quarterback. I probably wouldn't
have framed things the way he did. This is from Ontario,
speaking of Michigan. Listen to this news story. The electricity
exports from Ontario, Canada the US are being hit with
(06:04):
a surch charge.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Listen.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a twenty five percent increase Monday.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Believe me when I say I do not want to
do this.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I feel terrible for the American people because it's not
the American people who started this trade war.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
All right, Are we in a trade war? I don't
think so.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
We could be if we keep this going, and if
we get stupid and they get stupid. But I think
President Trump is just trying to fix some systemic unbalanced
that's been there for a long time and bring it
a little He didn't even say we're going to make
everything exactly equal. He just wants to balance the books
(06:47):
a little bit. I don't think that's unfair. I realize
why the Canadians don't want it, but it's not like
he's sitting there trying to destroy the Canadian government or
anything else. So no, I don't think we're going to
trade war. We're having some difficulties between two allied nations,
some disagreements, and we need to get those six, but
(07:10):
probably take it out of the public space and the
political posturing and do some negotiations behind closed doors that
make sense.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We need to do a lot more of that.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
There's too much stuff being you know, adjudicated in the
press and the press doesn't want to help. They don't
want to stir up more controversy. Yeah, that's no offense
to radio hosts or anything.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
But no, no, no, no, I absolutely believe there's one
of the good guys. No, but there's a drip, drip, drip.
That's the narrative that the left has.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Certainly.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Look, I don't think the media has any influence anymore,
and the election is proof of that. I think journalism
is dead. I think the audience is gone, the revenue
is not there. They're dead, and they just don't know it,
all right, But they still give us a good read
of their hand because they're still at the cabal table.
(08:02):
So clearly the left sees the vulnerability for Donald Trump
is the economy, and they've got to pounce on the
short term of this process. What do I mean by that, Well,
what Donald Trump's doing is brilliant and he will win,
and he'll win against Canada in the long run if
they really want that fight. But he can lose in
the short term. And so look how they're selling the
market being down yesterday, and how this is the lowest
(08:25):
the market has been and the biggest losses since a
president has experienced since two thousand and nine, recession is
on the table. The American people are riddled in debt.
Why they're even blaming egg costs on him. So this
is a drip drip drip of a narrative. But you're
right that aside that's an ally country attached to us,
(08:45):
we should go get this all resolved. I mean, I
understand having these longer fights with China, maybe even to
some degree with Mexico, but they should not exist with Canada.
But I will say this, in the long run, Donald
Trump holds the cards because they need us a lot
more than we need them, with the exception of what
Michigan may be paying now for electricity.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, and that's you know, it affects everybody.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
And look the guy in Ontario there, he's actually a
good friend of America.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You listen to him.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
He appears more American than you know, some of the
people we have on our side.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Of the border.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
But we've got to work this out and and that's
what friends do over time.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
And you're right.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
The press wants to stir up the controversy now to
try and damage Trump, and because they're just a gas
at the level of his popularity, they thought for sure
everybody'd go crazy with doze in all these cuts, you know,
and eighty percent of Americans are going, no, why didn't
we do this sooner?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Now, some of my former colleagues in the federal government
are not very happy.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But I have to tell you, a reduction.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
In force is some then I went through five different
times in my career in the military. It happens, and
it happens in the federal government. It's just we've we
don't normally do it across the entire government simultaneously, so
there is some pain.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The press, who.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Normally would would not be that worried about federal workers
are suddenly, you know, they're best friends just because they
know it. Will you know, splash mud on President Trump
and Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But we've got to get past this.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
These are good measures to save money and put things
back in balance and hopefully stop the liberals from using
the federal workforce for.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Their own uh plans. Uh. And that's that's what we've
got to do.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Williams, get on with it, as Vanessa Williams would, saying,
I saved the best for last. Even Boucci, Heritage Senior
fellow Foreign Policy joining US all right, I don't I
don't think Mark Kelly going to I mean, if Zielinski
hasn't learned his lesson from that Friday in the Oval office,
who to listen to and take excuse from, Well, then
(11:09):
we've got bigger problems. But let's go to Marco Rubio
this trip to negotiate. Uh, what's what's the keys to
negotiating an end of this Russian Ukraine war? And how
big of a task is it?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Uh, It's a big one because you're trying.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
You know, upfront, there's almost no possibility of everybody being
happy at the end of it. There's no way that
both sides can get what they want. The Ukrainians want
Russia all out. The Russians want to keep everything they've gotten,
maybe get a little more. They want total control over
Ukraine's future. Uh, and who they can talk to, what
(11:44):
they can do. Both of those are just non reachable positions.
So he's got to negotiate something that both sides can
live with, number one, and to at least lie and say, yeah,
we really won, this was a good deal, because that's
the way leaders in that part of the world require
(12:06):
themselves to stand. And that's going to be tough to reach,
and he's a good man. I think he's got the
right instincts and hopefully he can pull it off.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But boy, it's not an easy list for sure, and
if he does.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Speaking of politics, he could be the front runner come
twenty twenty eight if he can pull this off all right.
For Ukraine, clearly they just want assurances whatever they agree
to doesn't lead to another invasion.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's clearly what they want putin.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
How much is this saving face and keeping the door
open for reassembling that Russian map that I think he's
really after.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
He needs to keep the crimea, keep all the don
boss and whatever else he can hold on to. He
wants to continue to control the coastline so that he
could control commerce through there. He really really wanted all
all of the week because that would give him another club,
(13:03):
not just energy, but then food to use against the
West and other countries.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
And I think that's a that's a step too far.
He's gonna get all that, uh, And that's gonna really
upset him because he just he doesn't like to lose,
and he's been upset since Jelson let the.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Country break up. Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
And that's sorry, that's history, buddy, Uh, and you lost.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So even Stephen, remember, go ahead, finish.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
He's not He's not really a superpower anymore. He's an
organized crime organization that sadly has nuclear weapons and that's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And if he can kick the can, you may kick
it beyond his reign. Stephen Butcher is never a pinch hitter.
He is one of our biggest power hitters. Thanks for
filling in for Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, Steven, always my
honor and pleasure.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Thank you, sir, my pleasure. Might take care. It's your
morning show with Michael Delchano. You heard Stephen Bouchie.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
The heavy lifting for Marco Rubio is ending this war
with Russian Uklearine.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
The easy was cutting the USAID program budget.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
In a post on x, Rubio said fifty two hundred
contracts were canceled that would have cost tens of billions
of dollars. The Secretary of State said the contracts didn't
serve the US and harmed the nation's national interests in
some cases. Rubio said the remaining programs will now be
administered under the State Department. It comes as Elon Musk's
Department of Government Efficiency. Continues to make cuts across the
(14:35):
federal government. I'm Mark Neyfield. Well, I think it's intrusive.
I think it's political grandstanding. I'm not sure it's treason.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But Elon Musk says, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is a
trader for visiting the Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
The Democrat posted photos of his visit on X on Sunday. Mosk,
the tech billionaire who owns X, replied to the thread. Kelly,
who's a former Navy pilot and astronaut, responded to Musk, saying,
if you don't understand and that defending freedom is a
basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe,
maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.
(15:08):
I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Cos Minority leader Hahim Jeffries expects Democrats to vote against
the spending bill proposed by the Republicans. That's the drama
of the week, a continuing resolution or a government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Tammy Trichio has more.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Jeffries said during a Monday news conference, the bill is
something they could never support.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
House Democrats will not be complicit in the Republican effort
to hurt the American people.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Yeah, that the bill does nothing to protect Social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid. Republics are expected to bring the bill to
the House floor on Tuesday. Down a new spending bill,
the federal government would shut down on Friday. I'm Tammy Tricho.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
What will today hold that? What hold them?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
The angry grumpy redline is ringing, Oh boy, can have
your morning show without your voice, even if it's grumpy.
To Saint Louis, I don't know what's going on, but
say wes Moore's name one more time.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't know you're in love with him or what
I love him?
Speaker 9 (17:20):
Why?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Why are you such a shrill and mention his name
every day?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Shrill?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Give it a break, Stop it. He's a loser. It's schill.
First of all democrats.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
That I'm a democratic disguise first and foremost. If I
brought up wes Moore every day for no reason, that
would be troubling, but I don't. Secondly, we were talking
to a military expert about Arizona Senator Mark Kelly going
to Ukraine. Is he a trader or is he just
(17:53):
interrupting and disrupting or is he taking political grandstanding advantage?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I think, and.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That would be part of my job to tell you
what I think and then you can respond in two ways.
I think he's looking at the polling for twenty twenty
eight candidates and he sees there's not a single Democrat
above thirteen percent. In other words, there is a wide
open lane for somebody to run for president in four
years now. Of the people, Kamala isn't last. Tim Walls
(18:25):
doesn't even show up, and that was just their ticket.
So that leaves Gavin Newsom really and Ben Shapiro Pennsylvania
and Wes Moore. That was the context in which I
brought up Wes Moore. Although I gotta tell you when
the light hits him just right, he is my type.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
What are you nuts, hey? If you're just waking up?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
We often say always revealing, but many times entertaining.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It's time for the sounds of the diaryd outright our raight.
This is CNN this is the news, and that's a
lot more people are watching the cartoon Networks. Lunch Robbery runs.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Right now, Big a Democrat, this is like a goldstone
in a past.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
We should have a government that just minds its own
damn business.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Ever accuses me of being in love with Kamala Harris
when I bring her up. All right, So yesterday Tim
Walls has a news conference with Politico with a hundred
Democrats there, and he starts analyzing why they lost, never
brings himself up and basically pins.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It all on.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
We had a short runway and we took a very
very conservative path. We played prevent defense. We should have
done more town hall meetings. We should have done all
those podcasts. That's why we lost. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is
having a town hall and trying to explain innovation. Tell
(19:52):
me if she does also, I think you figure out
quickly why Our question of the day was is she
drunk or is she insane?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So I was willing to give up whatever might.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Be the trackings of Kamala Harris's.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Particular I fondness for Nacho chies Dorito's for the sake
of getting it behavior, And that's right. But here's the thing.
At what point do we also.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Uplift and highlight the consumer's right to also expect And.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You can debate with me if it should be right.
I think it should to expect that.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
The innovation would also be weighted in terms of solving.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Their everyday problems, which are beyond my craving for Dorrito's
but about whatever. And I know the work is happening around,
you know, the scientific discoveries, for example, to cure law
standing diseases.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
But I'm gonna throw out another one and you all again,
please get back to me and.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Information you have. I would love it if there would
be an investment of resources.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
In solving the affordable housing issue in America. Can you imagine.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
If you were in her class and she was your professor,
what notes would you have just taken?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Drunk? Are insane?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
And then again, speaking of school as an analogy, there's
always all of the above, isn't there?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right? Here's a great exchange.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
This is CBS reporting, and all while they're doing this report,
by the way, remarkably fair and accurate for CBS watch
as they described the border today compared to when it
was Biden Harris away from Mexico or camera captured by
heavily fortified a US border.
Speaker 10 (22:03):
This has been known for so many years for the
high level of zmuggling activity.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
That has been true historically, but not anymore. The activity
is very slow.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
There's multiple factors attached to why we have seen a
significant drop in apprehensions recently. One of them, of course,
has consequences.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And you believe that is due to new policies from Washington, DC.
It has a lot to do with that.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It is quite here at the US Mexico border where
illegal cross. By the way, I just have to interrupt
and tell you, do you remember all during the Biden administration,
whenever they would be shot to the border, it was
just like, as far as the eye can see, bodies
just walking towards the border, walking through completely, not even
being stopped. I'm telling you, there's not a human being
(22:54):
within three miles eyeshot of this reporter. All I could
think of is I was watching this report. The media
and the Democrats all said we needed legislation. Turns out
we just needed a president.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well. Stephen A.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Smith is the number one voice of the Democrat Party,
usually critical, and yesterday he did have some words for
Elon Moss amplifying Ben Shapiro's call for Derek Chauvan pardon,
and then he launched in again to the dilemma the
Democrats find themselves in.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Kevin Newsom's running throwing podcasts now talking to Republicans. Okay,
if you can believe that, Yeah, you got the Democrats
showing up for Trump's address to both Houses of Congress
looking like damn fool having videos with a dancing You.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Got to be kidding me, Simon down.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Two people on the screen at the same time, same
man is saying the same damn thing as if that
resident that message is gonna resonate. He got a representative
like Al Green out of Texas, seventy seven years old,
obviously has fought the good fight, but now incredibly immature
and undisciplined, wouldn't even give Trump a chance to speak,
(24:22):
and he had to get removed.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
From the House.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And then yesterday ten Democrats joined with House Republicans to
censure Al Green from Texas for his protest during President
Trump's addressed the Congress Tuesday night. Trump didn't even have
an opportunity to pass gas and this man.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Standing a protest.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
What nobody begs the question, how many Democrats feel the
same way he does as they struggle and search for
a messenger and a message. Obviously a lot or Stephen A.
Smith wouldn't be turning so political now the thing we're watching.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
There, Wes More, Wes Moore. I gotta do that. Just
aggorate that guy.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
He's gonna in all of that and all of Steven A.
Smith's attempts to be John the Baptist for Wes Moore?
Is he gonna end up being the Christ for the
Democrats if he keeps this up? I love this. This
is the government employees doge protest on the steps of
the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I I could talk.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
About fear because I know many many federal workers.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
When you wake up ory, when you're on your.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
Weekend and you get the fork in the Road message
or you get the subsequent five bullets, Hey, what the
hell did you do?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You lazy federal worker?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I don't think that's how the the email was worded.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Number one. Number two.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Most employees are used to having bosses, supervisors, expectations, job descriptions.
I mean, do you realize how revealing this is about
federal employees? How dare anybody ask us what we did today.
(26:06):
That's breathtaking to me in and of itself. But she
continued this, how frightening.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Is it that someone on X, the owner of X,
speaks to you directly to say, what did you do
last week at work? And if you don't answer, I
am going to fire you. But even more egregious, the
(26:37):
president comes out, the most powerful person in the land
and endorses that message. How do you think that makes
federal workers feel?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I can tell you during the greatest recession, of the
great depression of the Obama administration, when we were all
getting furloughed and losing our jobs and your jobs were secure,
I a noticed you didn't have anything to say on
our behalf Number two, why are you wearing a mask outside?
As rie elon Musk, He was asked point blank, what
(27:11):
is it he's doing?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Does it work? Let the public know? Please?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Right, Well, we just basically follow the money, you know,
we look at the presidents executive vorders and we.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Also just follow the money.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
So we started looking closely at usci D because they
were completely violating the presence executive voters to suspend foreign
foreign aid. You know's what's called foreign aid. But in
our view is a lot of corruption. So what we
saw there is just a trans amount of money being
sent to non governmental organizations. But actually it's this, by
(27:48):
the way, is I think one of the biggest sources
of fraud in the world is government funded non governmental organizations.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
This is a.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Gigantic fraud loopole where the government can give money to
an NGO and then that there were no controls o
that NGO, so they've given emulate.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The blank check.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Do Stacy Abrams who bought appliances for almost a third
of Georgia in exchange for their votes? You mean like that,
Rick Scott, I only have time for one of the two.
You know what, I'm gonna pick this one only because
I just love In the Death of Journalism, how CNN
(28:29):
and Jake Tapper don't realize why they're dead. You know,
it's kind of like a guy who already died of
lung cancer and the corpse is still trying to smoke cigarettes.
So listen to how the question is asked of Rick
Scott and then the very simple answer Rick Scott gives
that resonates with about eighty percent of the American people happening.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
We've seen people at the veterans crisis line, fired, then rehired.
We've seen people investigating pandemics, infectious diseases, fired, then rehired.
Beyond that, as Musk takes his chainsaw to the government, as.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You make this chain saw to the government, Oh god.
Speaker 12 (29:08):
Now, about thirty percent of our federal workforce in the
United States, about thirty percent are veterans, and a majority
of that thirty percent are disabled veterans.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
So if you address any kind of government waste, mismanagement
or overspending, you're throwing disadvantaged veterans to the curb.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Oh that's a mouthful.
Speaker 12 (29:35):
Meanwhile, the VA is also preparing to slash up to
seventy thousand VA jobs providing critical services to veterans. You're
a veteran, you served honorably in the Navy. Are you
concerned about that.
Speaker 13 (29:47):
We have to rein in the size of government, right, right,
and then we have to make sure everybody can get
a job. Now, you do that by reducing regulation. You
do that by streamlining the per main process. You do
that by growing the private sector, not growing the size the.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Government in Washington.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
Government in Washington is way too big. It's causing our inflation.
Is causing interest rates to be high, and there's no
When Donald Trump took office, I can just tell you
my experience is there was no accountability in government and
there's no transparency. That's what Elon Musk, that's where agency is.
That's what Donald Trump is trying to bring to the table.
And they're gonna do it. They're going to figure this out.
I'm very optimistic that we can get this done and
(30:23):
balance a budget. Donald Trump has promised to balance a budget.
I'm very I did as government Florida. This is all doable.
Speaker 12 (30:30):
Are you confident balance the way that these cuts have
been taking place.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Balancing the budget and getting by this continuing resolution crisis?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Two different things? Have been strategic, have been wise? Have
been careful?
Speaker 12 (30:44):
How can you look at experts in nuclear weapons being
fired then rehired and think, oh, this process is working
exactly as.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It should be.
Speaker 13 (30:53):
I'm a business guy, Jake, You do you best you
can every day. What they're trying to do is reign
and government are every day. Are they going to be perfect? No,
no one's perfect. Are they when they make a mistake?
Are they going to fix it?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Now here's the good news. This all seems like chaos, right,
only because the media is still at the cabal table.
The American people see through all this and they're completely
behind the president and what he's doing, and they know
why he's doing it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
I often get messages from people like got a couple
today listening to that word salad from Kamala Harris, whether
it was drunk or insane. Thank god she's not president. Yeah,
and thank god the media is dead and has no
influence that your Sounds of the Day.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of their sentence. I don't think he knows what he said.
He does, it's got to be a bigness of it.
I'm how do you like by you? This is your
morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Of all the stories, I want you to hear this one.
You see, after Donald Trump's victory, the Democrats were about
to appoint their star communicator, and yes they believe it's
their star representative, Alexandria Ocazio Cortes AOC and they were
going to appoint her as the chair of the powerful
(32:34):
Oversight Committee to hold Trump and all his cronies accountable.
What you can tell is their number one battle, right wrong.
There's someone who blocked it. Who blocked the appointment? Was
it a king Jefferys? I mean, who else would have
the Nancy Pelosi personally intervened to block it? Now, Nancy
(33:00):
Pelosi has yet to publicly announced her twenty twenty six candidacy,
but we kind of all could tell watching her at
the President's speech, chewing on her dentures.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
She looks like she's.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Got a lot of fight left in her. But will
she run? Time will tell. She has filed the required
paperwork to run. So the assumption is, and they all
stay till the toad tag arrives, she will, and she'll
be eighty six in March. It's insane right to think
(33:31):
somebody this age could still be running for Congress. But
she's going to have an opponent in the primary. And
guess who it is. AOC's chief of staff, thirty nine
year old Sakat Chuck Erbardi. Remember what I always tell you,
(33:56):
The Democrats have a two front war. Yeah, they're playing
the obstructionists, not just opposing party to Donald Trump and
fighting against him, and Republicans an all boogeymen, but they're
also fighting themselves. I don't think an establishment Democrat Party
even exists anymore. You've got progressives at war with the
Justice Democrats, and the Justice Democrats just sent their chief
(34:22):
of staff from AOC's office to defeat Nancy Pelosi for
not allowing AOC to be appointed. Ah the web they weave,
and that's our final savor today.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
