Speaker 2 (00:26):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding bec because we're
in this together.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Chorton, and
today it looks like we're into something good together. All right.
Welcome to Wednesday, March to twelfth. You have a twenty
twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. It belongs to you. We're
here to serve you. I'm Michael del Journal. Jeffrey's keeping
a hand on the sound read keeping an eye on

(00:59):
the content. As always we've got national reporters and contributors
that add to our understanding. If you're just waking up
the houses passing a six month funding bill, it passed
two seventeen, two thirteen to prevent a government shutdown. But
now the real heavy lifting on the Senate side, where
it'll take sixty and over a handful of Democrats to
make it happen. Ukraine is agreeing to a thirty day

(01:20):
ceasefire with Russia. Now it's Moscow's turn to come to
the table, and the premiere of Ontario Canada, this will
be good news for my listeners in Detroit has put
on hold his decision to impose tariffs on electricity exports
as well as apologized, which is good news. And then
the mass the big story today, and by the way,
let me just blurtly, bluntly blurt this out. If Donald

(01:44):
Trump Trump completes the process and ends the war and
leads a peace process with Ukraine and Russia, once we
get by this continuing resolution and get on to a
funding bill and thenally tax cuts, the left is going
to be out of things to aim at. They're probably

(02:05):
going to hone in on this. So keep an eye
on this story. It's at its infant stage, but mass
layoffs at the Department of Education. The president, you know
this would fall under promise made, promise kept, has talked
about getting rid of the bureaucracy of the Department of Education.
The left is going to go crazy over this. There's
going to be a lot of conflating and exaggeration and

(02:27):
distortion that the President is ending education. All evidence to
the contrary, just getting rid of the agenda and bureaucracy
that doesn't float to a classroom in the way of
preparing our kids for higher education in the workforce. So
we'll keep an eye on that story. David and Aught.
He's joining us. You know, I've been having a conversation.

(02:48):
Might as well continue it with you and John Decker Greed.
I presume you will. John Decker has covered eight presidents
as a White House spokesperson and slash correspondent. I don't
know how many you've covered. Well over eleven eleven, Okay,
I think I'm at thirty five years. I'm somewhere around

(03:11):
eight or nine, no more than that. Probably this is
like no presidency we've ever covered. I mean, you think
about yesterday, if we were having a conversation and this
is me, Shame on me. I would go, gee, I
don't know. This tariff thing is playing with fire. And
while I can see the long term solution, the temporary

(03:31):
pain could open a window for the left to blame
him for not fixing the economy and maybe tip the
scales in a midterm election. Why even create that vulnerability.
Get on a plane, go to Canada and end this.
Or I might have said, you know enough of this,
you know, get with Ukraine, Russia, you know, get this
thing done. Don't leave this vulnerability. And now in the

(03:54):
midst of that, you've got the Department of Education battles starting.
And yet today look how different it looks from even yesterday.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, And a big part of the challenge, Michael is
the media has come back off of vacation. Whatever they
went through for forty days, whether it was grief, lamenting,
catching up on sick days or whatever. They're back. And
for example, the story on Ukraine. If I had just
turned into your program this morning and it was the

(04:23):
only thing I had heard in the last thirty six hours,
I would think that I would turn to every news
source right now online at ap UPI, everyone, Washington Times,
New York Posts, New York Times, Washington Press Posts, sorry,
all of them, and Ukraine would be the number one headline,
not even close, not even close. It's six, eight, ten,

(04:47):
twelve stories deep, and it's not even what you reported.
So they're back and they are not going to let
Trump succeed.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
That goes without But their problem is they have no
influence anymore. So on a second, I don't agree with that.
I don't. I don't agree with that.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
When they're all together, who counterbalances them? Because what they're
saying controls everything on the on the press. Who could
have all this leftist fox and talk radio?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't. I don't know. I would make I have
a different view. I don't think there's anybody under fifty
using traditional media anymore.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, here's the thing we can say, Yes I would,
I would say you're correct if you look at the
numbers in one.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I mean, the matrix has changed, but.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Deliver Matrianism is different. But the content on the delivery
system is still being created by these same people. Just
because they're getting it off of social media or off
of X or they're hearing it discussed in a podcast,
it's still the content creation, the stories are still being created. Uh,
and and the stories that you look at today are

(05:58):
night and day in regards to what just happened and
in regards to moving far.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Those I don't mind, you know, having a disagreement. But
you got Elon Muskin with Joe Rogan and he's explaining
NP these NPOs And.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
How by the way, was he was exaggerating quite a
bit about millions of NGOs, but in the nonprofit sector
for forty five years, there aren't millions and million, tens
of thousands.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
He is what he Well, then he brought it back
down to tens of thousands. Yeah, But I mean, I
could I can take we could do the whole story
on the reverend, the episcopal bishop who gave the chastising
speech of the president on inauguration Day. And now you
find out she received fifty three million dollars in twenty
twenty three, and they doubled the amount they were serving
in twenty twenty four, potentially doubled the amount of money

(06:42):
she received. But I think more people probably heard that podcast.
I could add up ABCNBCCBS, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN
and it would be one fifth of who heard that podcast.
So how much do we want to focus on a
mainstream media that is clearly in a opposition. They've taken
it upon themselves. They're in opposition or obstruction.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well, yeah, to make your point, we've left about this
line before, and probably with the twentieth person who said it.
But if Donald Trump, if today Donald Trump walked on water,
all of those places with the headline would be Trump
can't swim, right, right, I mean, that's basically what we're
dealing with here is and he's exactly right, just like

(07:24):
you looked at the Democrats with their little paddle signs.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
There's no way he's going to catch a break.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
But the reality is that content still being created, is
still being being disseminated, and he has to overcome that content.
He's doing a brilliant job by doing it with action.
In other words, he's forcing them to cover the stories
that he's creating the agenda.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
They get that, and in his case it's but in
his case it's all promises made, promise kept, not just
for his supporters, but independence and a majority of the
American people. Uh and surprisingly more young people and Democrats
than they've realized. And I'm going to get to that
in a second. But let's just put all that aside.

(08:06):
How different is this president to cover because what we're
dealing with in some cases is method and process, not destination,
But we respond to react like it's destination. Oh my god,
he's starting a tariff war. No, he's using tariffs as
a tool to level a playing field and grow an economy.
But he's doing it for everyone to see, and so

(08:28):
that's what creates the panic. And it's almost by design. No,
sooner you go, boy, did he blow with Ukraine. They've
reached the thirty day cease fire. Now they're heading to
Russia to get Russia to the table. And by the way,
re release this is also lost in the conversation. I'm
sure you're not seeing this on any of your websites
that you're looking at. We've released money and weapons again.

(08:49):
So there's reasons for Putin to come to the table,
because if Putin decides not to come to the table,
he's going to continue to be fighting a war he
can't win. That's elongated. So I think you'll see Putin
come to the table. But just as you've said, oh,
they've blown it with this war, now the war is
headed towards the ceasefire. Oh, he's going crazy with tariffs.
Now they're all coming to the table, and I guess

(09:12):
the next fight will be Department of Education or the budget,
one of the two. But he continues to win in
the long run. But in the short run, I'm not
worried about what the media is saying. I'm worried about,
like our listeners, you got to give this time. He's
a tough president to cover. I wouldn't have said it
that way. I may not have done it that way.
I might have done it behind closed doors. He doesn't,
but it still works. No, you couldn't be more right.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
He is a tough president to comprehend because we've not
seen one like this president in our lifetime. First Off,
he's only got one urn. Secondly, he's coming back into office,
which has only happened one time before in the history
of our country. And third he has got an agenda
that is not going to be stopped. He's here to
accomplish things and he will exhaust every effort, win or lose.

(09:55):
He's going to try everything that he possibly can to
show the American peace people that this country is in
a death spiral and that unless we dramatically change. We're
not going to make it. That's not the agenda of
someone looking to get re elected. So that's what we
usually face.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
So the question is how do you make a great
president even greater? Would we change anything about the way trust? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I would change the way they're working on DOGE. They
need to have a longer plan on DOGE. I don't
mean that they should not do the actions that they're doing.
I think that they keep sending signals that they're just
kind of not that they're just getting started. That we understand.
But like yesterday, the conversation is, well, how long do
you think you'll be doing this? Well, he'll know when
it's over. When Dots first came out, it was this

(10:39):
is going to be a full report released on July fourth,
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Why not conect to the anniversary.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, why not submit a thousand page report that shows
all of it?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Because real quickly before the break, David explained to them
what the left is going to do with courts and that,
and you've opened the door for them to use courts
to really start obstructing this right.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Every time Elon starts acting like he actually is a
government agency, he gets sued and it's going to stay
that way the whole way along. You either have to
be an advisor doing investigation or you've got to get
inside the laws on transparency that are quite ir they're
not retractable, they're real. So they've got to be careful
that they don't go too deep in trying to put

(11:26):
Doge and Musk in the front as a causal agent
and keep him as a researcher in tech support.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Now, I want the swamp drained, and I want the
corruption and overspending and misspending to stop. But this is
a legitimate path for the Democrats to be an opposing party,
not obstructionist opposing party and take this to courts and
create a lot of trouble or a lot of distraction
at the very least right right, and they can time up.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Now, they'll win the cases eventually, but it may take
three years.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
And again they they don't have time for that. And
you could have avoided it by just sticking to the
parameters and the dates that you stated. That's one of
those cases where it's an open door, and that's one that,
unlike Ukraine and the Russian War, and unlike tariffs, could
end up in a bad place for you if you
don't play it smarter and more careful.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
It's your morning show With Michael del Chano.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
We were talking off the year. You know the thing
about these NGOs. My big takeaway, and I think it
was Red's big takeaway. Well Red had two big takeaways,
but one of them is Elon Musk was telling Joe
Rogan with these NGOs, this is the real issue. Five
or maybe even ten percent of it is good stuff

(12:41):
going to good people. All right, So like five percent
of the money is feeding these people that are poor,
or is providing this service to these in need, or
is making this good contribution, then percent of it is
just pure money laundering and corruption and agenda. And that's

(13:01):
what makes it tough because as you expose them, well,
then the obstructionist or the opposition just says, well, now
you're gonna let these people starve. Well, only five percent
of it, but if you could go in and clean
up the ninety five percent that is corruption and waste,
then you'd be onto something. And if you did that
with one or two or three, you'd have enough money
to do a lot more for people to need. So
that's a tricky part of this. The other takeaway is

(13:22):
you start exposing George Soros. You start and he's getting
close now to revealing what we're at. We're there, I
think with the auto pen, you start revealing what John
Podesta has been doing. Because remember, the big question is
how long. We're not talking the last four years. We're
not talking about a minister in what she got in
twenty thirteen and then chastise the president on inaugury inauguration day.

(13:45):
We're talking about decades and decades with Podesta. You're talking
about eight years of Clinton, eight years of Obama, four
years of Biden. This is the kind of stuff to
get you killed, David. This is very serious business.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
And what we're talking about here, First off, been talking
about this problem for over twenty years, right, Thank god
Elon Musk came around and is now willing to document it.
What's critically important is that it's documented, because if not,
it's just hearsay.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
And that's the most important thing that DOGE can do.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
And yes, I do know there is a Doge website,
and yes, we're very familiar with that. What we're talking
about is it's going to take at least a year
more to get to the bottom of it. And before
that happens, the other side is going to try to
take Doge out in court. And what they're going to
try to do is to say that they're functioning as
an agency. They've already won a case against Doge in

(14:36):
the district court in Washington, d C. That now it's
going to have to be defended in the whole way
of the Supreme Court. We know that's part of it.
The Trump people are prepared for it, but we just
want to make sure that Doge.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Is protected to this job gets done. But what is
the threat to Elon Musk? Not just test Level're already
seeing some of that crazies. I mean, first of all,
how you framed it he should in Look, it's on
Elon Musk that he goes on places like Joe Rogan
where sixty million people or fifty million people can see it.

(15:07):
And then you know it's another thing, well, you know
when he gets on X and reveals things, there's things
he's doing that has created this target. But now I'm
actually to the point where I think the guy needs
secret service because his life could be in dangerous. He's
really in And then so yeah, it.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Would probably also smart if he doesn't do things like
call Senator Kelly from Arizona a trader.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, on X. I mean that was definitely political grandstanding.
I mean I think I think the Senator is looking
at the twenty twenty eight polling information and sees nobody
above thirteen percent, and if he wants to take that,
you know, cold war strong anti Soviet foreign policy angle
that fits with his military and space career. Yeah, that's

(15:50):
a good presidential optimist, opportunistic thing to do. But it's
not treason, you know. I mean, you could play it differently.
All this could be played differently and more wise, but
we'll see. And the key, the key is to keep going.
That's the key. Hi.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
I'm Dennis from People of Mississippi and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I, Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O four seven
in Washington, DC. We'd love to have you listen live
every day. Make us a part of your morning routine,
but better late than never. Enjoy the podcast. Hey, Michael.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
I agree with Zanani about the media not being totally dead,
because it seems like every time they put out a
talking point, everyone just glombs onto it. And an example
I can I can think right off the bat is
a recession. This talk about recession and the possibility of
her session that was not an issue.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
They had redefined that word. Well, that's the game because
the media has become an opposition party, but it doesn't
have the audience it had, and it doesn't have the
influence it had, and even though it may be triggering
the conversations, it's not changing American's minds. That's why these
polls have been consistently behind what the president is doing,
despite what the media has been saying, and I suspect

(17:25):
despite what the media says in the future. But this
all comes up because the narratives were all well, after
what happened in the Oval Office, what if fiasco? Ukraine
US relations will never be the same Now he's turned
his back on Ukraine. Ukraine's gonna have to go it alone.
This is despicable. There goes his nobel peace pride and
what do we have Marco Rubio announcing Ukraine has agreed

(17:45):
to a thirty day cease fire with Russia and all
funding and all military armament is being reinstated. Now it's
time for Putin to sit down and be sensible and
make some compromises. Meanwhile, all the talk of the tariff
wars and they're growing, and why are we fighting with Canada,
our neighbor, our friends. Well, the Premier of Ontario, Canada
has put a hold on his decision to impose tariffs

(18:08):
on electricity and has apologized for what he said. And
now there are negotiations taking place for a more level
trade agreement between the countries, and once Canada signs, and
it'll be on to Mexico. And the House passed the
six month funding bill to prevent the government shutdown. Now
it's the Senate turn. We're visiting with David Sanadi, our
senior contributor. I want to go through this poll with

(18:28):
you and all the listeners. Now, this is internal polling,
so this isn't like somebody playing the polling game. They're
going to take a look at what's happening among Democrats
and here's what it shows, and a glimpse by the
way the twenty six midterms to come and problems they
may have the Democrat Party, It's brand with its constituents

(18:58):
is in really rough shake. The Navigator poll showed, nearly
two months into the Donald Trump administration, a majority of
voters in battle ground house districts still believe Democrats in
Congress are more focused on helping other people than them.
This is the generic other people than them. Among independents,

(19:22):
just twenty because you know, we always got to keep
track of the independence that lean democrat, just twenty seven
percent believe Democrats are focused on helping them, compared to
fifty five percent who said they're more focused on others
who this proverbial other is could be trans could be illegals,
could be what have you. The polling, shared first with Politico,
is one of the first comprehensive studies of voters in

(19:44):
swing congressional districts since November of twenty twenty four, and
ahead of their caucus meetings in Leesburg, Virginia. I'll let
you guys crack jokes. Based on that, the survey suggests
the party has an enormous amount of work to do.
If it's going to unite, if going to pivot, if
it's going to repair its messaging. It's like today, we've
got the polling information. Less than twenty percent think the

(20:08):
mayor of Los Angeles has done a good job okay,
and that's earned. But are they going to just replace
her with a different name and a different face, with
the same worldview and policy views that keep failing them.
That's the definition of insanity. Let me get to two
quick highlights, and then I'll let David chime in. Just
forty four percent of those polled said they think Democrats

(20:28):
respect work, while even fewer thirty nine percent said the
party values work. Only forty two percent said Democrats share
their values. Think of that wokeness dying and they're the
party of wokeness a majority. Meanwhile, fifty six percent said
the Democrats are not looking out for the working people.
Remember they hung at all on the soul of America

(20:50):
and the working class. Only thirty nine percent believe Democrats
have the right priorities. Let me connect the dots for you.
We know in the past election, what really allowed Donald
Trump to win was the mandate majority of America that
thought we were heading in the wrong direction. Well guess

(21:11):
what now they think it's the Democrats fault and they
have the wrong priorities. This will be interesting, David. I mean,
I'm sure they're going to fix a lot of this,
but are they going to fix it in words, in
new faces, in new names, and is anybody going to
believe them this is some pretty tough or rip it
apart and tell me how it none of this really matters.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Well, I wish we had Elon Muskin on this one
because what he talked about earlier, and you played on
earlier e clip about the fact that George Soros has
hacked the system. It may be finally that the reput
that the Democrats that they're polling are finally realizing that
their party has been completely hacked, completely co opted, completely

(21:53):
replaced by Soros and Podesta, and it's basically a mob
game now, and the people who are regular Democrats who
actually have ideas and have grown up in a tradition
are completely left on the outside the unions that they're
working people, they're standing out there with nowhere to go
because it's all been hacked by people who are using

(22:14):
government to reward their friends, to control more power and
to get bigger pieces of the federal budget. And everything
that Doge is doing is proving that to be absolutely true.
Now Suddenly they're realizing they've been handled, they've been had.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
How is it they didn't notice? They wanted Bernie and
their party gave him Hillary. They wanted Bernie and their
party gave him Biden. Then nobody wanted Biden, and they
took Biden's votes and gave them to Kama. It took
the Kamala, I think to awaken them. Wait a minute,
this party isn't about us. The dawn of the entire

(22:51):
mob enterprise. John Podesta is still not being discussed in public.
Nobody knows where he is.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Go back and find out how much any of these
checks the doges is now uncovering. We're basically steered across desk,
and I.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Think you're gonna find he's the Auto Sign Department of Education,
the Auto Mind by the way, Yeah, the Auto Mind
and the Auto Sign Department of Education. I think if
I can tell you this, if Donald Trump solves this war,
he's gonna get a Nobel Peace Prize. We're gonna avoid
World War three for a while anyway at least, and
you know, we're gonna have peace and kids will stop dying.
That's a great thing. If he solves this tariff war,

(23:29):
we get an even playing field, and the economy starts growing.
That's a great thing. They're not going to have much
to move on to other than this gutting of the
Department of Education. So is this promise made, promise kept?
Or is this, oh my gosh, this tyrant is now
destroying education. How did we educate our children, prepare them

(23:50):
for the workforce, prepare them for citizenry, prepare them for
higher education prior to nineteen seventy nine, and now suddenly
we can't do it. Yeah, gee whiz.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
For all those years as a republic, we managed to
do it without the federal government dictating, controlling and setting
all the terms. And that's now. Of course, you listen
to the unions, they'll say, oh, no, education is all
local control. Well, if it's all local control, what are
you worried about If the Department of Education ceases to exist,
we don't need a Washington Library on education. Federal funding
that comes down back. And first off, it's all of

(24:20):
our tax dollars. It's the parents' tax dollars too. Of
the kids that are in school, those dollars all go
to Washington, d c. By the time they get back
to the classroom. What's left to.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Pay for houses and condominiums of people living in Washington,
d c. Benefiting their life and their agenda, but none
of us getting to our kids in the classroom. Average, Well,
how many computers we can buy with this money? Average
school district across the country.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
As far as the percentage of federal funding that comes
in for public education is seven percent, and that is
largely involved in programs like free launches and stuff like that.
It's not an impactful reality, but it is a regulatory reality,
and it is it is problematic in that regard, and
it's just a tremendous waste of money.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's a tremendous waste of mind. Can America connect the
dots that this isn't about destroying education, it's about destroying
bureaucracy and meddling from Washington that's too far away from
the kids and too inefficient. Can they connect those dots?
I hope. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
We didn't even have government involvement in schools at all
until the twentieth century.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
What do you make of this bishop and the NGO money?
So she's she's lectured. It's our story of the day.
So you guys, remember Bishop Booty, Is it Booty or Buddy.
I don't know. I don't know either. That's in that one,
but it's inauguration day. It's Buddy, and she starts, you know,
chastising the president on his immigration views and how he

(25:40):
plans to enforce immigration laws. Was very uncomfortable. I said,
he's a better man than me. I would have got
up and walked out, but I mean the way Vance
was talking to his wife, the family members are looking
at it. This is a very uncomfortable moment. And that's
where the narrative of kids are going to go to
school and they're going to come home from school and
their parents are going to be gone, you know, not
human traffickers, drug traffickers, fentanyl peddlers, not rapist murderers. That's

(26:03):
what we're deporting. No innocent parents, and then their kids
are going to be stranded. I mean, just a ridiculous notion.
Then you find out her NGO got fifty three million
dollars in twenty twenty three, and I don't want to
be you know, upsetting of my Catholic listeners, but you know,
Catholic Charities is great at bringing immigration immigrants in and
then losing track of them. But this is fifty three

(26:27):
million dollars, and then they did twice as many in
twenty twenty four. We don't have the numbers in twenty
twenty four, but if she got fifty three, it's presumable
she may have gotten a hundred million in twenty twenty four.
Now you got one hundred and fifty million dollars of
hypocrisy chastising the president as her robe is lined with cash.
I mean, that's conflict of interest for sure, that's hypocrisy

(26:48):
for sure. But I mean, you just can't make this
stuff up. Well.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
The sad thing about that story is it's true in
another area. Most of those kids that are coming home
from school that their parents aren't there aren't because they
have been taken away and sent out of the country.
Most of the kids that come home in America day
and their parents aren't there are the parents aren't there
because they're working two jobs to pay.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
For the taxes to cover the fraud and corruption the DOE.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Is trying to uncover. This is your Morning Show with
Michael Del Chrono.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
What do narratives always die of reality? Narrative number one,
you Shaw, what happened in the Oval Office? You craate
in US relations will never be the same. They'll never
be a ceasefire, and he's turned his back on freedom.
Another one, but the Ukraine is agreeing to a thirty
day seas fire with Russia. Now it's Moscow's turn. Wow,
look at this trade war. Even our friend Canada is

(27:39):
taking it to the great legs and electricity. Another one.
The Premier of Ontario, Canada, has put a hold on
his decision to impose tariffs and electricity and sincerely apologizes. Oh,
we have another one. Inflation. You know, yesterday we were
headed to recession. The inflation rate came in two point

(28:00):
eight percent less than expected. Another one, Oh, how the narratives.
They're never going to get this continuing resolution past Congress,
and even if they do, they'll never get past the Senate.
We're way there. Another one. The House is passing a
six month funding bill. It passed the House two seventeen

(28:21):
to two thirteen. Oh, I will agree, you'll be heavier
lifting in the US Senate. Two American astronauts. We have
been on an extended mission that they signed up for
and new could happen. But I still think they deep
down want to come home a little bit. Roy O'Neal
is here on when they'll come home and why this
mission turned into nine months. Good morning, Rory, hey there,
good morning.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Right, So, these astronauts launched last spring to test fly
the Boeing star Liner capsule and it didn't go well.
So after months of being docked at the space station
with NASA trying to figure out geeken is it safe
to land this thing, they ultimately decided to bring star
Liner home empty and leave these two as instronauts on
the space station to come home with the regular crew rotation. Well,

(29:05):
a new crew is about to launch tonight, and that
means that Butch and Sunny could be home in a
matter of days.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, now you follow this, What are the odds
that thing takes off tonight?

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Pretty good? Pretty good? You know, they're pretty good at
these Falcon nine rocket launches. Actually, we're perhaps launching three
week SpaceX launching three rockets within a twelve hour period.
We had one last night, I guess it'd be twenty
four hours one last night in California, and we've got
two on different launch pads here in Cape Canaveral.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Right now, all right, two questions, and they're really simple ones.
Who are just going to be on that rock. Who's
who's going to be on that rocket and make the
risk of having to be there nine months, or they
just take Butcher and Sonny and go right back home.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
So the rocket launching tonight has four people on it
who will start a six month tour on the Space station,
just like the crews that went up in September. They
launched for a six month mission with two empty seats
on their on their crew, so that way they could
bring home Butch in Sunny. Essentially, Butch and Sunny are
hitching a ride on the capsule that was set up
in September that is coming home with the crew that

(30:13):
is wrapping up their six month tour. So they're just
they're just catching a ride on this one. That's what
they Yeah, ten is launching. They're coming home on nine.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
They're coming home my nine, all right. And then we
had a fascinating conversation in the first hour about the
happiest places to live and I I just mentioned my
skepticism because I live in the Nashville metro area, where,
like you in Florida and those listening in Texas, most
of America is moving to to the point where we
can't get around on the roads. And yet according to

(30:44):
wallet Hub, I mean, how many of the happy the
top ten happiest cities where the San Francisco let alone
California Almost seven of them, wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Uh yeah, Fremont, San Jose or Irvine? Yeah, yeah, Huntington
Beach in San Francisco, yep.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
And Nashville apparently was one hundred and eighteen behind Chicago.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
That was.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
And then who is dead? Maass? Cleveland?

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Right?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Better food and better food, yes, Cleveland. Not sure I'm
buying any of that. But the happiest place on earth
is or in America anyway, Fremont, California. And then I
looked up the pictures and it looked just like that.
Of all the places in a motion picture, there's two movies,

(31:30):
and they're both disaster movies that I would live in.
One is that wherever they filmed Dante's Peak. Now I
think they put them they animated in the mountain, so
that little town there really isn't a volcano right there, obviously,
but it still is like a quaint town. And then
the town that they almost blow up in outbreak to

(31:50):
kill the virus, and that's what Freemont looks like Freemont
looks nice. I have no reference to any of the
things you just Internet. You've never seen those movies. No,
And it's like a quaint town where you could film
a disaster. But you know the question of the hour is,
if it's so great, why is everybody fleeing that state?

(32:14):
But it's the criteria that.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
They Maybe that's why it's great, because now they've got
a lot more elbow room.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I know, maybe we should just turn abouts fair play.
We'll go there now and then invade their quaint town.
Roy O'Neil has always great reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow,
all right, final say time my dad had an expression,
we had a couple no you know what Sherlock blank

(32:39):
from shy Nola. This would fall under those kinds of things.
The NTSB has come out with a preliminary recommendation. You know,
I think we all got.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
A a crash course and the chaos that has been
the the glide slope of Reagan Internet in Washington, DCA.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I mean, this is a this is one of the
busier airports. B it's a very tricky airport to land
at already because of protected airspace, because of the Capitol
and the White House and others. So you have to
follow the Potomac. You got to make some really tough
turns and come in you change runways and that makes

(33:24):
it even more complicated. And oh, as a general rule,
in practice, there's military helicopter exercises going on within one
hundred feet of this landing slope, and seventy one people
had to die to figure out that's a bad idea.
Go find a field, Go find a desert, go find
some water to your little military exercises there not right

(33:47):
over the final five hundred feet of a very difficult
landing at a busy airport. But the NTSB recommends helicopters
be banned near Reagan Airport. And that took seventy one lives.
And that's our final say for this Wednesday, March the seventeenth, Hey,
go live this day, don't drift. Live it, make a
difference in someone's life, Cherish your own, and we'll see

(34:09):
you back here tomorrow morning, five Central, sixth Eastern for
the next your morning show.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
