Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Your morning show has heard live from five to eight

am Pacific on great radio stations like News Radio eleven
ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty
k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one oh four seven

the drive to work, but better late than never. Enjoyed
(00:22):
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understand different because we're in this toge.
This is your.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Morning show with Michael o'deil Charnan.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Russian President Vadimir Putin and US President Donald Trump had
good talks yesterday and agreed to keep talking. Didn't go
a whole lot further than more further than that, we
also got the documents dump in the JFCA assassination.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Just starting to kind.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Of ruffle through some of the early documents so far,
nothing really earth shattering. And our two NASA astronauts splash
down yesterday afternoon. Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent, follows all
things base and all things basketball today.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
First things.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
First, we finally get Butch and Sonny back on the ground.
Butch the pride of Murphysboro, Tennessee in Texas, Tech and
Sonny and then the last ones off the capsule.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Whose idea was that sunny from Needham, Massachusetts. Let's give
the credit where credits due all around. Yeah, And I
would also think, well, I think that Butch was just
being a gentleman, essentially saying that the lady goes ahead
of him, that that was the idea.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
The other boy is they took the other two off first, though,
you thankfully Gotch of Sonny off first.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
No, it's just a logistically for where their seats are
located that the commander and the two members of that
Crew nine crew Nick Haig and the Russian their seats
are a bit more forward in the capsule, so they're
just easier to get to.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It was just beautiful to watch. It was a beautiful day.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
The dolphins were a bit too much, and the TV
producers really first, well.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Did I didn't know there were dolphins off the Tallahassee
coast in the Gulf of America? Full Yeah, really, I
didn't know. Yet everywhere I saw a lot of you
can stand on any beach that I know of anyway
in Florida and see dolphins, especially on the West coast.
But it was really like a Disney movie, everything without
a hitch. The first two parachutes slowing it down to
(02:22):
one hundred and something miles an hour. Then the last
ones come out a gentle splash down surrounded by dolphins.
Things couldn't have gone better. It's good to have them home.
There's no way either of them could have walked down
their own Well, what do they We did a little
bit of this yesterday, and that's the policy. If you
do the long duration missions, these are typically six month missions.
So two of the astronauts that we saw, or the
(02:43):
astronaut and cosmonaut, they did six months, Butch and Sunny
did nine. And the policy for SpaceX is everybody gets
a wheelchair.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It's like when you leave the hospital, because don't forget,
you're also on a boat that's rocking. So if you've
just come out of your SpaceX capsule that's been bobbing
in the ocean for half an hour, you've got the
fluids in your ears, are still trying to settle down
after getting back into gravity after long term your muscles
of atrophied.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, you're not walking anywhere.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
But it was great to see them walk off the
plane in Houston when they got back to family.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and you mentioned that full recovery could take as
long as they were in space.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's the rule of thumb.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
You know, these two are also veterans, they of previous
six month missions, so you know, maybe they're a bit
more or less, but they know how to exercise, they
know what to expect in recovery. But they're also not
kids anymore, so you know it's going to be It's
going to flare up from time to time, is what's
going to happen. But they'll be in the pool a lot,
doing a lot more therapy as they try to especially
(03:40):
their leg muscles that I think is what they struggle
to keep strong.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I I'm looking down at this March madness has become
a huge event for gamblers. Well what isn't a huge
event for gamblers anymore? But how does this compare to
Super Bowl in others? I mean a lot of people
skipping work and a lot of people losing money. Well, right, yeah,
I think the product loss is now estimated at twenty
billion dollars in lost productivity over the March Madness period
(04:07):
because we're all stinking at our phones during the during office.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Going to a bar and watching what do you mean
thinking of that? Just here's a comparison for you.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
The folks over at the American Gaming Association say, we
bet one point four billion dollars on the Super Bowl.
I'm talking through legal sports betting in thirty eight states,
in DC one point four billion.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
March Madness is over three billion dollars dots.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So yeah, and I don't I don't know either, to
be honest with you, But do we assume that old
fashioned bookies are getting half the business twenty five percent
of the business? I mean, is three billion really covering it?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Well?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Right?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
And I'm just talking about the legal numbers out there, right, Yeah,
there's so much more. And I think the other it's
interesting the note from the Gaming Association, you know, play
responsibly and all that stuff. But one of the things
I thought was interesting was placed so the idea being
that these days there are too many people, often young men,
who find themselves betting on their phones in bed, on
(05:10):
the john, you know, constantly, maybe in their cubicle, but not.
But if you do it socially, you're more likely to
bet more responsibility.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Roy, and you'll be back in the third hour as well.
Good reporting, Rory.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I will tell you this, in all my studies of gaming,
you know, the proclivity for X number to become problem gamblers,
the proclivity for X number to become pathological.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I don't care how many times you plug your eight
hundred number.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Gambling is always going to destroy a good percentage of
people's lives who gamble. Then there's a lot of people
who just lose everything and never gamble again. Either way,
the more you play, inevitably, the more you will lose.
And this is so this is a big we as
a family, we do a bracket.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
There's enough of you know, universities that we care about
to keep our end. It really is a magical I
think if every sport could figure out how to do this,
and you've seen college football try, they can't match the
magic of March madness. And you know, I was telling
the guys, I just went game by game, match up
(06:21):
by matchup, trend by trend of who's playing well now
versus earlier in the season, and I ended up with
all four number ones like a moron who just would
have you know, just taken the ones and brought them
all there. That's never happened to me. And I think
there's a I mean, just as I said, there's about
a thirty percent chance we could get an all SEC
final four Auburn, Florida, Bama, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, we know four teams that won't make the final.
Oh stop it?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Why I am so sick of that. I don't jinx anybody.
I love the Cubs today, I love them over the Dodgers. No,
But I mean I think there's a pretty good high
percentage that we looked at that the last time that
happens when two thousand and eight or four something like that,
where we got all four number ones. I think it
(07:07):
could happen again. But you know, always got to be
something to sour it. So here's this great thing I
love as a sports fan. I mean I you know,
shamelessly as sports fan. So I you know, I go
from Super Bowl and then I got to you know,
fill my time until March Madness. Then I go to
the Masters, then I get into baseball, then before you
know it, it's football. Well then you have in between
(07:28):
there the hockey playoffs and the NBA Playoffs, and then
you get into the heart of baseball season, then football
season starts, and it just kind of a cycle that goes.
And I mean, this is one of the crown jewels,
and the notion that we're going to lose twenty billion
dollars while people are watching these games instead of working,
that's a bit and you could do it as an experiment.
I one day during March Madness, I had a business
(07:50):
lunch and we walked in and the place was packed
and I was like, this is odd and they were
all in the bar watching March Madness. So it's insane
amount of people that just don't go to work, and
post COVID, I imagine that number has grown, but another
three billion that we can track in lost wages because
(08:10):
people can't watch these games without betting them. And it's really,
quite frankly, in the world that's got so expanded and gambling,
it's aggravating to be around them because you can't really
enjoy a game when they're all constantly on their phone
and hedging bets and you know, doing halftime and live bets,
and most of them don't even do research to know
(08:30):
what they're betting on. I found that with my son
when he briefly went through this, and my nephews as well.
I'm like, what are you betting?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
You?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Do you follow these teams? Well? No, but it's just
an app you can bet it's scary.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, and there are those that, you know, it depends
on what you're trying to do. Some people think that
it's actually a second job, like they're going to make
a living doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's short lived.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There are some that are former athletes that you're once
you psychologically realize it's just your way of trying to
stay in the game and you're not in it and
you're not in control of it, and the more you play, inevitably,
the more you're gonna lose. But there these are significant numbers.
Now we're looking at twenty billion dollars and economic losses
because people aren't going to be really working. That's like,
(09:15):
it's like the private sector acts like the government employees.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
This would not I'm kidding, I'm joking now.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That has to do with something Red said earlier and
our journey of discovery. But yeah, twenty billion in lost economy,
three billion and lost wages.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's madness, all right, March madness.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And as I mentioned, my son is obsessed with why
North Carolina, And the answer is simple.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
North Carolina got in for ratings.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
People will root for that uniform, and in some of
these early games they'll be watching, but very convincingly. In
the first four game they won ninety five sixty eight.
And remember I was watching bracketology on the night of
the announcements, and you know, North Carolina has been kind
of common together and playing. But it's a whole different
college basketball now because you don't have a program anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You don't have your recruits.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You don't have your freshmen to turn into sophomores, turn
into juniors, mature as seniors. People are coming and going,
switching universities, going pro early. You basically get a group
of guys every year and you got to make a
team out of that. And for some of them, they
don't gel till the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Wouldn't it be.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Something I would have to remember where North Carolina pops up,
where their run would have to go from. So they
would have to beat Ole Miss next, which I think
they could I really do. After Ole Miss, they probably
have to beat Michigan State. I would think that's where
it ends. But wouldn't it be something if they got
(10:42):
on some kind of a role and I got to
you know, hear my son all the way to the
sweet sixties. You should be in the tournament North Carolina
one ninety five sixty eight. I wonder if you won
your bet Alabama State beat Saint Francis, PA seventy sixty eight.
I wonder if you won your bet tonight Mount Saint
Mary's versus American University and Xavier versus Texas.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I do like them Longhorns tonight, but I don't bet.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chano.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Doctor Bloman Georgia.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Here, Good morning, Michael, Jack and Rad. Hey, you can
bet the farm Alabama.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
Crimson Tide to win the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Rollside Hip pitch Boy is a rare.
Speaker 10 (11:19):
Reason he didn't have James Carafano one yesterday was because
he was in India and you were confused as to
the time, not knowing that their time zone is on
the half hour.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Michael, did I just hear you say the Cubs are
gonna win today? Sit down five one already? What's there? Listen?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Get by the way, don't bash the Cubs my son
said that we lost the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I said, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The Dodgers, who can probably have another one hundred and
eleven of those before the end of the season. It's
a rigged, bought all star team. Alabama, Well, Alabama certainly
like Michigan State, got a really good placement so.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Early games. Even if they win.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
After they win the first round, they'll probably get Vanderbilt,
and I don't think that's going to be a problem.
So they almost get a starting ticket in the Sweet sixteen. Now,
once they get to the Sweet sixteen, I think it'll
be either BYU or VCU, and BYU could really rain
down the threes. They'll have their hands full. But I
wrote on my original bracket they almost got a cakewalk
(12:26):
all the way to the Elite eight. That's the good
news for Bama fans. The bad news for Bama fans
are most certainly you'll probably be playing Duke at that point,
and that might make it hard to get to the
final four, let alone win it all. I had the
Florida Gators winning at all, but at least they stayed
in the SEC.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. I just think they they're hot right now.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I think they got the best guard point guard I've
seen in college basketball, and I cannot tell you how long.
I'd almost say a lifetime. And here's hoping he becomes
in Oklahoma City thunder someday. Art if you're just waking
up things for those comments, by the way, and I
am so sick of being a kues to being a jinx.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'm not a jinx. I have nothing to do with
the cup.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Five hundred million dollars is why the Cubs are losing today,
if you're just waking up twenty six minutes after the hour.
The Pentagon is preparing to eliminate fifty to sixty thousand
civilian jobs over the next few months.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
On Tuesday, our senior defense officials said the.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Job cuts will hopefully happen via voluntary resignations and by
not replacing workers who leave. The Pentagon will also begin
firing probationary employees. The plan is part of the Trump
administration's efforts to cut the federal workforce.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm Mark nephew. President Trump had a good conversation with
Vladimir Putin. No, it's not done, it's not solved, but
it's off to a great start. And the start is
they will continue to talk with a limited ceasefire with Ukraine.
Brian Shook as the full report.
Speaker 9 (13:48):
The two leaders had a lengthy phone call Tuesday to
discuss an end to the war. In a post on
truth Social Trump described the call as very good and productive.
He added that many elements of a contract for peace
we're discussed. The Kremlin said Russia has agreed to a
thirty day ceasefire on strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and
(14:09):
a prisoner swap with Ukraine will take place Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm Brian Schuk just.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
The opposite in the Gaza has really Prime Minister bb
Netanyah who says negotiations negotiations with Hamas will now only
take place under fire.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
This comes after Israel broke a sea spire with the
Palestinian militant group by launching strike's early Tuesday. Matt Bradley
reports from Tel Aviv.
Speaker 12 (14:30):
Israel's Defense minister said quote, we resumed fighting in Gaza
due to Hamas's refusal to release the hostages and threats
to Israelis, adding if Hamasa does not release all the hostages,
the gates of hell will open in Gaza and Hamas
murderers and rapists will face the IDF with unprecedented force.
Speaker 11 (14:45):
This easpire had lasted for nearly two months. Gaza's health
ministry says the latest attacks have killed more than four
hundred people and injured hundreds more.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm li said.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Taylor Sentimnority Leader Chucky Schumer on the defensive for his
support of a geopil geop that prevented the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Sarah Le Kessler has more.
Speaker 13 (15:03):
Schumer appeared on ABC's The View Tuesday to defend himself
against backlash for his vote and security threats that cost
him to cancel his upcoming book tour. New York senior
senator said if he'd allow a government shutdown, constituents would
be complaining three weeks from now, demanding he'd do something
about the cutoff of their Medicaid veterans benefice, and he'd
(15:25):
have to say, I can't.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're in a shutdown.
Speaker 13 (15:28):
Fellow New Yorker House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries is saying
he should keep his job as the Senate's top Democrat,
and President Trump is calling Schumer's move gutsy and bold.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The Dems and they're fight among themselves. We'll talk more.
About that next hour with David Zanatti.
Speaker 12 (15:46):
Listen, Cory the yard Boy and my morning show is

News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast. Paul and Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you want
a good pizza, dit Dejorna, if you want a great
radio station, did my morning show Michael del Jorna? Oh
come on, now, come on, you know he was that
(16:31):
close close to wh He's not a professional. He's not
an ad agency.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
For crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's it, all of you who just said your morning show, oh,
because he didn't do the right one first, never mind
the creativity tying in a pizza.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
By the way, I give him an a for effort.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, I'm grateful to the pizza for allowing people to
say my name closer to Wright. Gotta go with Home Run,
Frozen Pizza, Go Deep, Go home Run, and Bye No.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I appreciate differ. I want you to put that in
the in the rotation. You think, all right, I'll put
it in a rotation. Yeah, I'm a policy represented.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I lived there twenty years for krand if I'm my
wife there, all three of my children were born there.
Oh so Saint John's Hospital. He's in your heart and
you're gonna make exceptions. Absolutely. A couple of quick announcements.
I mentioned Jonathan Rumy tomorrow on the show. Later in
the third hour, Sean farag naghmering a Belle aka Friday
was forty seven. Like Joe Pegs yesterday, he got swatted.
(17:30):
What swatted? You'll find out it's terrorism, pure and simple.
But Voyce thinks, first, let's go with you know, you've
given me so many of these, I don't know which
ones to hit on a while the wind, Mu's go
with the old classic.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
She's gonna get smoked. He's got two and they stopped.
Speaker 14 (17:46):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
It's got to be a big miss of theay, how
do you like my garbage?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Love your garbage truck? What a riote.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's been always revealing off and entertaining at your sounds
of the day, and this was a sweet sound to
all of our ears, especially to Butcher and Sonny's.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
And splash down Crew nine back on Earth.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Now that goes back to an old tradition, remember the
splashdowns of Apollo and Mercury. And now Elon Musk comes
to the rescue and gets Butcher and Sonny finally home.
Dolphins swimming around the capsule as it's floating, and then
eventually America got to see the two finally leave the
dragon capsule and actually walk off the plane when they
(18:44):
got to Houston where they'll be getting medical treatment. Speaking
of that, John Hannity with a very long conversation.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Time how long it takes.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
To get to the answer, But I cued it up.
Normally I would que past it, but I want you
to hear Sean doing a one on one interview with
Elon Musk with the White House in the background, wearing
a SpaceX jacket as his company brought Butch and Sunny
home and listen to all the good things that Elon's
companies are achieving and doing, and how on earth that
(19:18):
qualified him to be probably even over Trump, now the
most hated person in America.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Listen, it's faster today Ferrari for example. Yeah, no, I
watched it beat my Z six.
Speaker 15 (19:30):
I'm like, I thought that was the greatest muscle car.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, it's not.
Speaker 15 (19:33):
I watched the I watched the s Plat beat it.
You're into robotics AI. You are working with neurolinks so
the blind can see and people with spinal cord injuries
may one day walk.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You help people in North Carolina.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
You help people in California when they have no communications.
And I watch all of this and I have to ask,
why why do I.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
See people like I?
Speaker 15 (20:00):
I woke up this morning and saw that Tesla's will
put a blaze in one of your dealerships in Vegas.
I've seen this happen all over the country. Bullets are
being fired, charging stations have put a blaze, Tesla's are
being put a blaze. You have experienced assassination, threats of
assassination for you and your family. What have you done
(20:23):
that warrants this? Because I see nothing that you have
done except help our.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Country Okay, So before we get to his answer, and
it was a long question, think about we have our
thoughts on why the left hates Elon Musk suddenly, but
what does Elon Musk make of the level of hatred
(20:48):
towards him? Because it's one thing to watch it happening
to somebody, and it's another thing to have it happen.
By the way, just in case you think I have
the same disease, I justed this often happens with this
particular sound source.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It likes to reaqueue. So I'm having to stall right now.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But I'll take the moment of stall to basically say
to you, when you see things like this happening, it
isn't enough to just have outrage or an opinion. You
got to realize it's happening to that person, and it
could happen to you. It's happening to Elon now, but
(21:28):
you could be next. So let's listen to Sean as
he asks him, what's it like to be Elon Musk
and see all this hatred pointed at you?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And why it's happening to you?
Speaker 15 (21:38):
Vegus, I've seen this happen all over the country. Bullets
are being fired charging stations have put a blaze. Tesla's
are being put a blaze. You have experienced assassination, threats
of assassination for you and your family. What have you
done that warrants this because I see nothing that you
have done except help our country.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yeah, I mean, it's really come as quite a shock
to me that there's this level of really hatred and
violence from the left. I thought the left of the
Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy, the
party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're
fire a bombing dealerships, They're firing bullets into dealerships, They're
(22:26):
just you know, smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company.
We've never done anything hopeful. I've never done anything howful.
I've only done productive things. So I think we just
have a deranged It's there's some kind of mental illness
thing going on here. Because this doesn't make any sense,
you know, it's worthy of note.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I watched the grooming of America for insurrection with Antifa,
Black Lives Matter, and its irrational extreme left is not new,
and there's been irrational extreme right too. You have a
vested interest in how this is playing out what's interesting
(23:12):
about today versus yesterday is and this goes back to
my Nashville audience. Well, no, we talked about this for
the better part of ten years now. The Democrat Party
has an internal war. They're in a civil war within
their party. Republican Party had a couple of bumps. Watergate
(23:34):
was a bump, The Reagan Revolution was a good bump.
The way things turn south on George W. Bush a
bad bump. Barack obama charismatic transformative character was a bad bump.
But for the Democrat Party, they have a socialist far
(23:55):
left element whose goal is to first take over the party.
They're at war with the party. That's their first and
foremost enemy. That's why they recruited a bartender like AOC
to take out a ten term Democrat, not Republican. They
want to first take over the party, then they want
to dismantle the electoral College. Then they want to dismantle
(24:15):
the republic But the first hill to conquer is the party.
And that's why from the grassroots they created the Bernie
Sanders movement, and the Democrat voters would have made Bernie
the presidential nominee in twenty sixteen if the leadership of
the Democratic Party didn't block it, they would have again
(24:37):
made him the leader if they hadn't blocked it with
Joe Biden. And if AOC rises the top from the
primary voters, they'll have to block it again. And so
you've got half the party that says we're not obstructing enough,
we're not burning enough, recharging stations, enough teslas. And then
(25:03):
you have the other half that says it's time to
get a little reasonable. All presidents have been against government
waste and overspending, so that party, this is the first
time we've seen them in open warfare, warfare against each other.
Here's how it sounded with Chuckie Schumer on the view.
Speaker 16 (25:21):
Listen, the fight going on in the Democratic Party right
now is not between hard left, right and moderate. It's
between those who want to fight and those who want
to cave. And it gives me no pleasure to say
this to you because we are friends. But I think
you caved. I think you and nine other Democrats cave.
I don't think you showed the fight that this party
needs right now because you're playing with by a rule
(25:41):
book where the other party has thrown that rule book away.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
True now, first and foremost, if Chucky hadn't been reasonable,
because the view's narrative would be Elon Musk is the
devil himself or the devil's twin with Donald Trump, and
Doge is the false prophet itself.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I mean, this all has to be stopped.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
If he had, if we'd had a government shutdown, you'd
have had about twenty times the number of loss of
government jobs. And for a lot of these really jobs
that need to go permanently, ito have been hard to
get them back. So anybody can sit with a cup
of coffee on the View and talk to ignorant primarily
women in daytime.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Let's see how Chucky answers it.
Speaker 16 (26:29):
So, in my view, what you did really was in
supporting that gop partisan bill that Democrats had no input in.
He cleared the way for Donald Trump and Elon Musk
to gut Social Security, to gut Medicare, to gut Medicaid.
Why did you lead Democratic senators to play by that
book that the Republicans are not playing by.
Speaker 17 (26:49):
Okay, first, I'd say, Sonny, no one wants to fight
more than me, and no one fights more than me.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You gotta fight smart. It is not true.
Speaker 17 (26:56):
That bill had far less than it was bad. I
hated it, but it does far less damage to Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid are far more susceptible to being eliminated, which is
what that horrible Musk. Can you imagine this guy Musk,
a billionaire saying eleven thousand dollars eleven hundred dollars for
(27:16):
a senior citizen is not necessary for the Ponzi stem
in that there are many fewer cuts in that building
that would be in a shutdown. It was a bad test,
so we got to yes, they exist, but if you
have two, if you have two choices, one bad, the
other devastating. One chops off one of your fingers, the
other chops off your arm.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yes, there he is with DOSEE. I mean, and we
did the numbers in our journey of discovery. Today seventy
five percent of the American people, I think there's at
least twenty five percent of waste with your tax dollars
or twenty five to fifty percent. It's a losing battle
(27:56):
to continue to demonize Musk and demonize Toje and these
narrative exaggerations have cuts to Social Security and Medicare, They're
just not a reality. If there's fraud and abuse, but
you're cutting waste, not real money going to real senior citizens.
It's a despicable game the left is playing and they
(28:20):
can't even play it well with each other.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Here's John Stewart's right as a gentleman. I got to
tell you something.
Speaker 18 (28:27):
It is Trump's world and we're just cowering in it.
Over just the past few days, Donald Trump deported hundreds
of Venezuela and sal Salvador despite a judge's order, extraordinarily
renditioned a pro Palestinian Columbia student with a green card,
declared that CNN and MSNBC should be illegal. By the way,
(28:48):
I'm not against everything he does.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Now, you know the difference between Bill Maher and him.
He's funny, that's the difference. And Bill Maher has moved on.
The Democrats have gone so far left. He's down drinking tequila,
smoking weed and thinking they're nuts. Red and I had
(29:14):
a fun conversation off the air that needs to happen
on the air, and that is and we were talking
about Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz has a podcast now and
Ted Cruz is doing interviews about Doge with Elon Musk,
like he's not a member of Congress, like, he's.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Not a part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So you probably don't have a problem with Ted Cruz
doing it, but I'll bet you lamb based Gavin Newsom
for doing it. This is another example of how both
sides are a part of the problem if it's wrong
for Gavin Newsom to do. Look, they didn't anticipate. They
thought that the media was still influential, that it had
(29:50):
an audience and it had an influence, and that's why
they lost the election. So now they're all scrambling to
see what they should have clearly seen five months ago.
Get your rear end and on Joe Rogan's show, don't
worry about what's CNN and MSNBC are saying now they
all want to start podcasts. So now you got coach
Timmy on Newsom's podcast. Notice on Newsom, no matter who's
(30:12):
on the show, whether it's Michael Savage last week or
Governor Goofy, he just takes on what everybody saying. I mean,
I'm telling Gavin Newsom is one of the all time chameleons.
We should play boy, George.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Common, Commack, comic come.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Elian, But all right, who couldn't have a podcast. This
is Gavin Newsom, this is the hypocrite with coach crazy
Tim that's got.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
To make sounds of the day.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Have they figured it out that the identity piece of
this is more important than the actual substance behind.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Well, they've been doing it for decades.
Speaker 14 (30:46):
I mean we we've saw the welfare of queens, They've
seen the Southern strategy.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
We've seen it over and over. It's an old playbook.
Speaker 14 (30:52):
And we're as dumb as we want to be that
we allow them to do this with CRT and ESG
and DEI and every three letter word, yeah, demon eiesen.
They weaponize grievance, They other people, They talk down to people,
past people, they humiliate people, They weaponize difficult issues. But
the problem line is, and I think it goes back
to what we began with is and I applaud you
for this, is we cannot continue to be on the
(31:15):
defense reacting to this.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
We've got to go on the offense.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
As difficult it is as it is for me to
see how Donald Trump is going to bridge this gap
with Vladimir putin.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Between what he wants and what he deserves.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Is how difficult I see the Democrats ever solving their
first frontal war with each other.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
There's just too many idiots.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
By the way, classic Sololensky is, whenever you hear Democrats
talking about what the others doing, they're confessing what they're doing.
Doesn't what Gavin Newsom saying sound more like describing Democrats
today than Republican.
Speaker 14 (31:49):
Every Yeah, demonize and they weaponize grievance, They other people,
They talk down to people past.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
The whole systems just nauseating.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
The only sound of the day worth playing today back
on Earth, splashdown, that's your sounds of the day.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Spire stop it. Don't you ever let anybody take your
power from you. God No, No, it is by the
the motto cheap.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Come come on, this is your morning show with Michael
Del Trono.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Jimmy Suits. Let's stop with Jimmy Suits. Hey bs aboyant
Jimmy Suitz.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Aren't the Democrats being a little uh hyper critical?
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Then why don't do all this energy and green deal
and and I want.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You to fee it cosan hybrid.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But they're going out there and I'm burning up all
these testlows.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Come out, have a great day. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
This is Angela from Chandler, and your words have come
to pass with Chuck Schumer's seeing his party turning on him.
Life at They'll do it to Elon Musk. They do
it to anyone who they think won't oppose Trump. Look
at our own Arizona Senator Mark Kelly making a show
(33:16):
of getting rid of his tesla.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I mean, come on, now, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, they got a lot to get together before the
midterm elections, and they look irrelevant and ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
By the way, his brother.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Don't even bring up the Kelly name his brother in
the splashdown coverage. That was a new low yesterday as well.
This one comes by email to Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. For those of you that don't want to
use your voice, you can always email. I don't say
that enough Michael di at Ihartmedia dot com. Dallas writes, Well,
now there is a term that makes me wonder how
many of your younger listeners know what you mean when
(33:49):
you say a cakewalk. By the way, you're not a
Jinxknotgun would love the show, Dallas. Yeah, cakewalk was an
old dance contest and the winner won a cake. Oh really,
it's a Southern tradition. All right, Russia is at the
table and they're ready to talk and move forward. It's
just a start, and there's a lot of heavy lifting
to do, but a good start. Not much coming out
of the JFK dump, but it's early and our two
(34:09):
astronauts are finally home, Butch and Sunny thanks to Elon
Musk with that on the far left.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld Jo Noo
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Your morning show has heard live from five to eight
am Central, six to nine am Eastern, three to six
am Pacific on great radio stations like News Radio eleven
ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty
k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you join
us live in the morning, even take us along on
the drive to work, but better late than never. Enjoyed
(00:22):
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understand different because we're in this toge.
This is your.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Morning show with Michael o'deil Charnan.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Russian President Vadimir Putin and US President Donald Trump had
good talks yesterday and agreed to keep talking. Didn't go
a whole lot further than more further than that, we
also got the documents dump in the JFCA assassination.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Just starting to kind.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Of ruffle through some of the early documents so far,
nothing really earth shattering. And our two NASA astronauts splash
down yesterday afternoon. Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent, follows all
things base and all things basketball today.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
First things.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
First, we finally get Butch and Sonny back on the ground.
Butch the pride of Murphysboro, Tennessee in Texas, Tech and
Sonny and then the last ones off the capsule.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Whose idea was that sunny from Needham, Massachusetts. Let's give
the credit where credits due all around. Yeah, And I
would also think, well, I think that Butch was just
being a gentleman, essentially saying that the lady goes ahead
of him, that that was the idea.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
The other boy is they took the other two off first, though,
you thankfully Gotch of Sonny off first.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
No, it's just a logistically for where their seats are
located that the commander and the two members of that
Crew nine crew Nick Haig and the Russian their seats
are a bit more forward in the capsule, so they're
just easier to get to.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It was just beautiful to watch. It was a beautiful day.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
The dolphins were a bit too much, and the TV
producers really first, well.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Did I didn't know there were dolphins off the Tallahassee
coast in the Gulf of America? Full Yeah, really, I
didn't know. Yet everywhere I saw a lot of you
can stand on any beach that I know of anyway
in Florida and see dolphins, especially on the West coast.
But it was really like a Disney movie, everything without
a hitch. The first two parachutes slowing it down to
(02:22):
one hundred and something miles an hour. Then the last
ones come out a gentle splash down surrounded by dolphins.
Things couldn't have gone better. It's good to have them home.
There's no way either of them could have walked down
their own Well, what do they We did a little
bit of this yesterday, and that's the policy. If you
do the long duration missions, these are typically six month missions.
So two of the astronauts that we saw, or the
(02:43):
astronaut and cosmonaut, they did six months, Butch and Sunny
did nine. And the policy for SpaceX is everybody gets
a wheelchair.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It's like when you leave the hospital, because don't forget,
you're also on a boat that's rocking. So if you've
just come out of your SpaceX capsule that's been bobbing
in the ocean for half an hour, you've got the
fluids in your ears, are still trying to settle down
after getting back into gravity after long term your muscles
of atrophied.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, you're not walking anywhere.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
But it was great to see them walk off the
plane in Houston when they got back to family.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and you mentioned that full recovery could take as
long as they were in space.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's the rule of thumb.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
You know, these two are also veterans, they of previous
six month missions, so you know, maybe they're a bit
more or less, but they know how to exercise, they
know what to expect in recovery. But they're also not
kids anymore, so you know it's going to be It's
going to flare up from time to time, is what's
going to happen. But they'll be in the pool a lot,
doing a lot more therapy as they try to especially
(03:40):
their leg muscles that I think is what they struggle
to keep strong.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I I'm looking down at this March madness has become
a huge event for gamblers. Well what isn't a huge
event for gamblers anymore? But how does this compare to
Super Bowl in others? I mean a lot of people
skipping work and a lot of people losing money. Well, right, yeah,
I think the product loss is now estimated at twenty
billion dollars in lost productivity over the March Madness period
(04:07):
because we're all stinking at our phones during the during office.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Going to a bar and watching what do you mean
thinking of that? Just here's a comparison for you.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
The folks over at the American Gaming Association say, we
bet one point four billion dollars on the Super Bowl.
I'm talking through legal sports betting in thirty eight states,
in DC one point four billion.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
March Madness is over three billion dollars dots.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So yeah, and I don't I don't know either, to
be honest with you, But do we assume that old
fashioned bookies are getting half the business twenty five percent
of the business? I mean, is three billion really covering it?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Well?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Right?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
And I'm just talking about the legal numbers out there, right, Yeah,
there's so much more. And I think the other it's
interesting the note from the Gaming Association, you know, play
responsibly and all that stuff. But one of the things
I thought was interesting was placed so the idea being
that these days there are too many people, often young men,
who find themselves betting on their phones in bed, on
(05:10):
the john, you know, constantly, maybe in their cubicle, but not.
But if you do it socially, you're more likely to
bet more responsibility.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Roy, and you'll be back in the third hour as well.
Good reporting, Rory.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I will tell you this, in all my studies of gaming,
you know, the proclivity for X number to become problem gamblers,
the proclivity for X number to become pathological.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I don't care how many times you plug your eight
hundred number.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Gambling is always going to destroy a good percentage of
people's lives who gamble. Then there's a lot of people
who just lose everything and never gamble again. Either way,
the more you play, inevitably, the more you will lose.
And this is so this is a big we as
a family, we do a bracket.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
There's enough of you know, universities that we care about
to keep our end. It really is a magical I
think if every sport could figure out how to do this,
and you've seen college football try, they can't match the
magic of March madness. And you know, I was telling
the guys, I just went game by game, match up
(06:21):
by matchup, trend by trend of who's playing well now
versus earlier in the season, and I ended up with
all four number ones like a moron who just would
have you know, just taken the ones and brought them
all there. That's never happened to me. And I think
there's a I mean, just as I said, there's about
a thirty percent chance we could get an all SEC
final four Auburn, Florida, Bama, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, we know four teams that won't make the final.
Oh stop it?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Why I am so sick of that. I don't jinx anybody.
I love the Cubs today, I love them over the Dodgers. No,
But I mean I think there's a pretty good high
percentage that we looked at that the last time that
happens when two thousand and eight or four something like that,
where we got all four number ones. I think it
(07:07):
could happen again. But you know, always got to be
something to sour it. So here's this great thing I
love as a sports fan. I mean I you know,
shamelessly as sports fan. So I you know, I go
from Super Bowl and then I got to you know,
fill my time until March Madness. Then I go to
the Masters, then I get into baseball, then before you
know it, it's football. Well then you have in between
(07:28):
there the hockey playoffs and the NBA Playoffs, and then
you get into the heart of baseball season, then football
season starts, and it just kind of a cycle that goes.
And I mean, this is one of the crown jewels,
and the notion that we're going to lose twenty billion
dollars while people are watching these games instead of working,
that's a bit and you could do it as an experiment.
I one day during March Madness, I had a business
(07:50):
lunch and we walked in and the place was packed
and I was like, this is odd and they were
all in the bar watching March Madness. So it's insane
amount of people that just don't go to work, and
post COVID, I imagine that number has grown, but another
three billion that we can track in lost wages because
(08:10):
people can't watch these games without betting them. And it's really,
quite frankly, in the world that's got so expanded and gambling,
it's aggravating to be around them because you can't really
enjoy a game when they're all constantly on their phone
and hedging bets and you know, doing halftime and live bets,
and most of them don't even do research to know
(08:30):
what they're betting on. I found that with my son
when he briefly went through this, and my nephews as well.
I'm like, what are you betting?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
You?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Do you follow these teams? Well? No, but it's just
an app you can bet it's scary.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, and there are those that, you know, it depends
on what you're trying to do. Some people think that
it's actually a second job, like they're going to make
a living doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's short lived.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There are some that are former athletes that you're once
you psychologically realize it's just your way of trying to
stay in the game and you're not in it and
you're not in control of it, and the more you play, inevitably,
the more you're gonna lose. But there these are significant numbers.
Now we're looking at twenty billion dollars and economic losses
because people aren't going to be really working. That's like,
(09:15):
it's like the private sector acts like the government employees.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
This would not I'm kidding, I'm joking now.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That has to do with something Red said earlier and
our journey of discovery. But yeah, twenty billion in lost economy,
three billion and lost wages.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's madness, all right, March madness.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And as I mentioned, my son is obsessed with why
North Carolina, And the answer is simple.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
North Carolina got in for ratings.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
People will root for that uniform, and in some of
these early games they'll be watching, but very convincingly. In
the first four game they won ninety five sixty eight.
And remember I was watching bracketology on the night of
the announcements, and you know, North Carolina has been kind
of common together and playing. But it's a whole different
college basketball now because you don't have a program anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You don't have your recruits.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You don't have your freshmen to turn into sophomores, turn
into juniors, mature as seniors. People are coming and going,
switching universities, going pro early. You basically get a group
of guys every year and you got to make a
team out of that. And for some of them, they
don't gel till the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Wouldn't it be.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Something I would have to remember where North Carolina pops up,
where their run would have to go from. So they
would have to beat Ole Miss next, which I think
they could I really do. After Ole Miss, they probably
have to beat Michigan State. I would think that's where
it ends. But wouldn't it be something if they got
(10:42):
on some kind of a role and I got to
you know, hear my son all the way to the
sweet sixties. You should be in the tournament North Carolina
one ninety five sixty eight. I wonder if you won
your bet Alabama State beat Saint Francis, PA seventy sixty eight.
I wonder if you won your bet tonight Mount Saint
Mary's versus American University and Xavier versus Texas.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I do like them Longhorns tonight, but I don't bet.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chano.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Doctor Bloman Georgia.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Here, Good morning, Michael, Jack and Rad. Hey, you can
bet the farm Alabama.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
Crimson Tide to win the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Rollside Hip pitch Boy is a rare.
Speaker 10 (11:19):
Reason he didn't have James Carafano one yesterday was because
he was in India and you were confused as to
the time, not knowing that their time zone is on
the half hour.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Michael, did I just hear you say the Cubs are
gonna win today? Sit down five one already? What's there? Listen?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Get by the way, don't bash the Cubs my son
said that we lost the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I said, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The Dodgers, who can probably have another one hundred and
eleven of those before the end of the season. It's
a rigged, bought all star team. Alabama, Well, Alabama certainly
like Michigan State, got a really good placement so.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Early games. Even if they win.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
After they win the first round, they'll probably get Vanderbilt,
and I don't think that's going to be a problem.
So they almost get a starting ticket in the Sweet sixteen. Now,
once they get to the Sweet sixteen, I think it'll
be either BYU or VCU, and BYU could really rain
down the threes. They'll have their hands full. But I
wrote on my original bracket they almost got a cakewalk
(12:26):
all the way to the Elite eight. That's the good
news for Bama fans. The bad news for Bama fans
are most certainly you'll probably be playing Duke at that point,
and that might make it hard to get to the
final four, let alone win it all. I had the
Florida Gators winning at all, but at least they stayed
in the SEC.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. I just think they they're hot right now.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I think they got the best guard point guard I've
seen in college basketball, and I cannot tell you how long.
I'd almost say a lifetime. And here's hoping he becomes
in Oklahoma City thunder someday. Art if you're just waking
up things for those comments, by the way, and I
am so sick of being a kues to being a jinx.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'm not a jinx. I have nothing to do with
the cup.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Five hundred million dollars is why the Cubs are losing today,
if you're just waking up twenty six minutes after the hour.
The Pentagon is preparing to eliminate fifty to sixty thousand
civilian jobs over the next few months.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
On Tuesday, our senior defense officials said the.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Job cuts will hopefully happen via voluntary resignations and by
not replacing workers who leave. The Pentagon will also begin
firing probationary employees. The plan is part of the Trump
administration's efforts to cut the federal workforce.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm Mark nephew. President Trump had a good conversation with
Vladimir Putin. No, it's not done, it's not solved, but
it's off to a great start. And the start is
they will continue to talk with a limited ceasefire with Ukraine.
Brian Shook as the full report.
Speaker 9 (13:48):
The two leaders had a lengthy phone call Tuesday to
discuss an end to the war. In a post on
truth Social Trump described the call as very good and productive.
He added that many elements of a contract for peace
we're discussed. The Kremlin said Russia has agreed to a
thirty day ceasefire on strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and
(14:09):
a prisoner swap with Ukraine will take place Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm Brian Schuk just.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
The opposite in the Gaza has really Prime Minister bb
Netanyah who says negotiations negotiations with Hamas will now only
take place under fire.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
This comes after Israel broke a sea spire with the
Palestinian militant group by launching strike's early Tuesday. Matt Bradley
reports from Tel Aviv.
Speaker 12 (14:30):
Israel's Defense minister said quote, we resumed fighting in Gaza
due to Hamas's refusal to release the hostages and threats
to Israelis, adding if Hamasa does not release all the hostages,
the gates of hell will open in Gaza and Hamas
murderers and rapists will face the IDF with unprecedented force.
Speaker 11 (14:45):
This easpire had lasted for nearly two months. Gaza's health
ministry says the latest attacks have killed more than four
hundred people and injured hundreds more.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm li said.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Taylor Sentimnority Leader Chucky Schumer on the defensive for his
support of a geopil geop that prevented the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Sarah Le Kessler has more.
Speaker 13 (15:03):
Schumer appeared on ABC's The View Tuesday to defend himself
against backlash for his vote and security threats that cost
him to cancel his upcoming book tour. New York senior
senator said if he'd allow a government shutdown, constituents would
be complaining three weeks from now, demanding he'd do something
about the cutoff of their Medicaid veterans benefice, and he'd
(15:25):
have to say, I can't.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're in a shutdown.
Speaker 13 (15:28):
Fellow New Yorker House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries is saying
he should keep his job as the Senate's top Democrat,
and President Trump is calling Schumer's move gutsy and bold.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The Dems and they're fight among themselves. We'll talk more.
About that next hour with David Zanatti.
Speaker 12 (15:46):

enjoy the podcast. Paul and Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you want
a good pizza, dit Dejorna, if you want a great
radio station, did my morning show Michael del Jorna? Oh
come on, now, come on, you know he was that
(16:31):
close close to wh He's not a professional. He's not
an ad agency.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
For crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's it, all of you who just said your morning show, oh,
because he didn't do the right one first, never mind
the creativity tying in a pizza.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
By the way, I give him an a for effort.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, I'm grateful to the pizza for allowing people to
say my name closer to Wright. Gotta go with Home Run,
Frozen Pizza, Go Deep, Go home Run, and Bye No.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I appreciate differ. I want you to put that in
the in the rotation. You think, all right, I'll put
it in a rotation. Yeah, I'm a policy represented.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I lived there twenty years for krand if I'm my
wife there, all three of my children were born there.
Oh so Saint John's Hospital. He's in your heart and
you're gonna make exceptions. Absolutely. A couple of quick announcements.
I mentioned Jonathan Rumy tomorrow on the show. Later in
the third hour, Sean farag naghmering a Belle aka Friday
was forty seven. Like Joe Pegs yesterday, he got swatted.
(17:30):
What swatted? You'll find out it's terrorism, pure and simple.
But Voyce thinks, first, let's go with you know, you've
given me so many of these, I don't know which
ones to hit on a while the wind, Mu's go
with the old classic.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
She's gonna get smoked. He's got two and they stopped.
Speaker 14 (17:46):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
It's got to be a big miss of theay, how
do you like my garbage?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Love your garbage truck? What a riote.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's been always revealing off and entertaining at your sounds
of the day, and this was a sweet sound to
all of our ears, especially to Butcher and Sonny's.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
And splash down Crew nine back on Earth.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Now that goes back to an old tradition, remember the
splashdowns of Apollo and Mercury. And now Elon Musk comes
to the rescue and gets Butcher and Sonny finally home.
Dolphins swimming around the capsule as it's floating, and then
eventually America got to see the two finally leave the
dragon capsule and actually walk off the plane when they
(18:44):
got to Houston where they'll be getting medical treatment. Speaking
of that, John Hannity with a very long conversation.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Time how long it takes.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
To get to the answer, But I cued it up.
Normally I would que past it, but I want you
to hear Sean doing a one on one interview with
Elon Musk with the White House in the background, wearing
a SpaceX jacket as his company brought Butch and Sunny
home and listen to all the good things that Elon's
companies are achieving and doing, and how on earth that
(19:18):
qualified him to be probably even over Trump, now the
most hated person in America.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Listen, it's faster today Ferrari for example. Yeah, no, I
watched it beat my Z six.
Speaker 15 (19:30):
I'm like, I thought that was the greatest muscle car.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, it's not.
Speaker 15 (19:33):
I watched the I watched the s Plat beat it.
You're into robotics AI. You are working with neurolinks so
the blind can see and people with spinal cord injuries
may one day walk.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You help people in North Carolina.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
You help people in California when they have no communications.
And I watch all of this and I have to ask,
why why do I.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
See people like I?
Speaker 15 (20:00):
I woke up this morning and saw that Tesla's will
put a blaze in one of your dealerships in Vegas.
I've seen this happen all over the country. Bullets are
being fired, charging stations have put a blaze, Tesla's are
being put a blaze. You have experienced assassination, threats of
assassination for you and your family. What have you done
(20:23):
that warrants this? Because I see nothing that you have
done except help our.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Country Okay, So before we get to his answer, and
it was a long question, think about we have our
thoughts on why the left hates Elon Musk suddenly, but
what does Elon Musk make of the level of hatred
(20:48):
towards him? Because it's one thing to watch it happening
to somebody, and it's another thing to have it happen.
By the way, just in case you think I have
the same disease, I justed this often happens with this
particular sound source.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It likes to reaqueue. So I'm having to stall right now.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But I'll take the moment of stall to basically say
to you, when you see things like this happening, it
isn't enough to just have outrage or an opinion. You
got to realize it's happening to that person, and it
could happen to you. It's happening to Elon now, but
(21:28):
you could be next. So let's listen to Sean as
he asks him, what's it like to be Elon Musk
and see all this hatred pointed at you?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And why it's happening to you?
Speaker 15 (21:38):
Vegus, I've seen this happen all over the country. Bullets
are being fired charging stations have put a blaze. Tesla's
are being put a blaze. You have experienced assassination, threats
of assassination for you and your family. What have you
done that warrants this because I see nothing that you
have done except help our country.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yeah, I mean, it's really come as quite a shock
to me that there's this level of really hatred and
violence from the left. I thought the left of the
Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy, the
party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're
fire a bombing dealerships, They're firing bullets into dealerships, They're
(22:26):
just you know, smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company.
We've never done anything hopeful. I've never done anything howful.
I've only done productive things. So I think we just
have a deranged It's there's some kind of mental illness
thing going on here. Because this doesn't make any sense,
you know, it's worthy of note.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I watched the grooming of America for insurrection with Antifa,
Black Lives Matter, and its irrational extreme left is not new,
and there's been irrational extreme right too. You have a
vested interest in how this is playing out what's interesting
(23:12):
about today versus yesterday is and this goes back to
my Nashville audience. Well, no, we talked about this for
the better part of ten years now. The Democrat Party
has an internal war. They're in a civil war within
their party. Republican Party had a couple of bumps. Watergate
(23:34):
was a bump, The Reagan Revolution was a good bump.
The way things turn south on George W. Bush a
bad bump. Barack obama charismatic transformative character was a bad bump.
But for the Democrat Party, they have a socialist far
(23:55):
left element whose goal is to first take over the party.
They're at war with the party. That's their first and
foremost enemy. That's why they recruited a bartender like AOC
to take out a ten term Democrat, not Republican. They
want to first take over the party, then they want
to dismantle the electoral College. Then they want to dismantle
(24:15):
the republic But the first hill to conquer is the party.
And that's why from the grassroots they created the Bernie
Sanders movement, and the Democrat voters would have made Bernie
the presidential nominee in twenty sixteen if the leadership of
the Democratic Party didn't block it, they would have again
(24:37):
made him the leader if they hadn't blocked it with
Joe Biden. And if AOC rises the top from the
primary voters, they'll have to block it again. And so
you've got half the party that says we're not obstructing enough,
we're not burning enough, recharging stations, enough teslas. And then
(25:03):
you have the other half that says it's time to
get a little reasonable. All presidents have been against government
waste and overspending, so that party, this is the first
time we've seen them in open warfare, warfare against each other.
Here's how it sounded with Chuckie Schumer on the view.
Speaker 16 (25:21):
Listen, the fight going on in the Democratic Party right
now is not between hard left, right and moderate. It's
between those who want to fight and those who want
to cave. And it gives me no pleasure to say
this to you because we are friends. But I think
you caved. I think you and nine other Democrats cave.
I don't think you showed the fight that this party
needs right now because you're playing with by a rule
(25:41):
book where the other party has thrown that rule book away.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
True now, first and foremost, if Chucky hadn't been reasonable,
because the view's narrative would be Elon Musk is the
devil himself or the devil's twin with Donald Trump, and
Doge is the false prophet itself.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I mean, this all has to be stopped.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
If he had, if we'd had a government shutdown, you'd
have had about twenty times the number of loss of
government jobs. And for a lot of these really jobs
that need to go permanently, ito have been hard to
get them back. So anybody can sit with a cup
of coffee on the View and talk to ignorant primarily
women in daytime.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Let's see how Chucky answers it.
Speaker 16 (26:29):
So, in my view, what you did really was in
supporting that gop partisan bill that Democrats had no input in.
He cleared the way for Donald Trump and Elon Musk
to gut Social Security, to gut Medicare, to gut Medicaid.
Why did you lead Democratic senators to play by that
book that the Republicans are not playing by.
Speaker 17 (26:49):
Okay, first, I'd say, Sonny, no one wants to fight
more than me, and no one fights more than me.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You gotta fight smart. It is not true.
Speaker 17 (26:56):
That bill had far less than it was bad. I
hated it, but it does far less damage to Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid are far more susceptible to being eliminated, which is
what that horrible Musk. Can you imagine this guy Musk,
a billionaire saying eleven thousand dollars eleven hundred dollars for
(27:16):
a senior citizen is not necessary for the Ponzi stem
in that there are many fewer cuts in that building
that would be in a shutdown. It was a bad test,
so we got to yes, they exist, but if you
have two, if you have two choices, one bad, the
other devastating. One chops off one of your fingers, the
other chops off your arm.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yes, there he is with DOSEE. I mean, and we
did the numbers in our journey of discovery. Today seventy
five percent of the American people, I think there's at
least twenty five percent of waste with your tax dollars
or twenty five to fifty percent. It's a losing battle
(27:56):
to continue to demonize Musk and demonize Toje and these
narrative exaggerations have cuts to Social Security and Medicare, They're
just not a reality. If there's fraud and abuse, but
you're cutting waste, not real money going to real senior citizens.
It's a despicable game the left is playing and they
(28:20):
can't even play it well with each other.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Here's John Stewart's right as a gentleman. I got to
tell you something.
Speaker 18 (28:27):
It is Trump's world and we're just cowering in it.
Over just the past few days, Donald Trump deported hundreds
of Venezuela and sal Salvador despite a judge's order, extraordinarily
renditioned a pro Palestinian Columbia student with a green card,
declared that CNN and MSNBC should be illegal. By the way,
(28:48):
I'm not against everything he does.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Now, you know the difference between Bill Maher and him.
He's funny, that's the difference. And Bill Maher has moved on.
The Democrats have gone so far left. He's down drinking tequila,
smoking weed and thinking they're nuts. Red and I had
(29:14):
a fun conversation off the air that needs to happen
on the air, and that is and we were talking
about Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz has a podcast now and
Ted Cruz is doing interviews about Doge with Elon Musk,
like he's not a member of Congress, like, he's.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Not a part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So you probably don't have a problem with Ted Cruz
doing it, but I'll bet you lamb based Gavin Newsom
for doing it. This is another example of how both
sides are a part of the problem if it's wrong
for Gavin Newsom to do. Look, they didn't anticipate. They
thought that the media was still influential, that it had
(29:50):
an audience and it had an influence, and that's why
they lost the election. So now they're all scrambling to
see what they should have clearly seen five months ago.
Get your rear end and on Joe Rogan's show, don't
worry about what's CNN and MSNBC are saying now they
all want to start podcasts. So now you got coach
Timmy on Newsom's podcast. Notice on Newsom, no matter who's
(30:12):
on the show, whether it's Michael Savage last week or
Governor Goofy, he just takes on what everybody saying. I mean,
I'm telling Gavin Newsom is one of the all time chameleons.
We should play boy, George.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Common, Commack, comic come.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Elian, But all right, who couldn't have a podcast. This
is Gavin Newsom, this is the hypocrite with coach crazy
Tim that's got.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
To make sounds of the day.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Have they figured it out that the identity piece of
this is more important than the actual substance behind.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Well, they've been doing it for decades.
Speaker 14 (30:46):
I mean we we've saw the welfare of queens, They've
seen the Southern strategy.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
We've seen it over and over. It's an old playbook.
Speaker 14 (30:52):
And we're as dumb as we want to be that
we allow them to do this with CRT and ESG
and DEI and every three letter word, yeah, demon eiesen.
They weaponize grievance, They other people, They talk down to people,
past people, they humiliate people, They weaponize difficult issues. But
the problem line is, and I think it goes back
to what we began with is and I applaud you
for this, is we cannot continue to be on the
(31:15):
defense reacting to this.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
We've got to go on the offense.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
As difficult it is as it is for me to
see how Donald Trump is going to bridge this gap
with Vladimir putin.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Between what he wants and what he deserves.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Is how difficult I see the Democrats ever solving their
first frontal war with each other.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
There's just too many idiots.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
By the way, classic Sololensky is, whenever you hear Democrats
talking about what the others doing, they're confessing what they're doing.
Doesn't what Gavin Newsom saying sound more like describing Democrats
today than Republican.
Speaker 14 (31:49):
Every Yeah, demonize and they weaponize grievance, They other people,
They talk down to people past.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
The whole systems just nauseating.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
The only sound of the day worth playing today back
on Earth, splashdown, that's your sounds of the day.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Spire stop it. Don't you ever let anybody take your
power from you. God No, No, it is by the
the motto cheap.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Come come on, this is your morning show with Michael
Del Trono.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Jimmy Suits. Let's stop with Jimmy Suits. Hey bs aboyant
Jimmy Suitz.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Aren't the Democrats being a little uh hyper critical?
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Then why don't do all this energy and green deal
and and I want.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You to fee it cosan hybrid.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But they're going out there and I'm burning up all
these testlows.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Come out, have a great day. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
This is Angela from Chandler, and your words have come
to pass with Chuck Schumer's seeing his party turning on him.
Life at They'll do it to Elon Musk. They do
it to anyone who they think won't oppose Trump. Look
at our own Arizona Senator Mark Kelly making a show
(33:16):
of getting rid of his tesla.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I mean, come on, now, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, they got a lot to get together before the
midterm elections, and they look irrelevant and ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
By the way, his brother.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Don't even bring up the Kelly name his brother in
the splashdown coverage. That was a new low yesterday as well.
This one comes by email to Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. For those of you that don't want to
use your voice, you can always email. I don't say
that enough Michael di at Ihartmedia dot com. Dallas writes, Well,
now there is a term that makes me wonder how
many of your younger listeners know what you mean when
(33:49):
you say a cakewalk. By the way, you're not a
Jinxknotgun would love the show, Dallas. Yeah, cakewalk was an
old dance contest and the winner won a cake. Oh really,
it's a Southern tradition. All right, Russia is at the
table and they're ready to talk and move forward. It's
just a start, and there's a lot of heavy lifting
to do, but a good start. Not much coming out
of the JFK dump, but it's early and our two
(34:09):
astronauts are finally home, Butch and Sunny thanks to Elon
Musk with that on the far left.
