Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is awful two three starting your morning off right,
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Because we're in the skidibit and this is.
Speaker 3 (00:38):

Michael D at iHeartMedia dot com. I got this one

(01:07):
I'm not dead or off the era. I'm on seventy
seven markets, including yours in Nashville. Really, what time? What station?
I gotta stay in the lake? What don't we got
a stealth operation here if you're just waking up eight
minutes after the hour, President Trump special envoy says things
are going great with the Middle East negotiations, making progress
towards the ceasefire with Russia and Ukraine. It's a miracle.
(01:31):
The Pulpe is out of the hospital double pneumonia, five
weeks in the hospital, only has one lunon and he's
recovering at the Vatican now after being released from the
hospital yesterday. And police in New Mexico say there have
been four rests in connection now with that deadly mass
shooting at the park in Las Cruces that left three
dead and fifteen wounded. And Senate Minority Leader CHUCKI. Schumer says,
(01:53):
I'm not stepping down. I'm not going anywhere. Meanwhile, is
AOC the Ara pairrant to the Bernie Sanders coalition. Sure
looked like it at a campaign stop. Sure looked like
it when he walked off the set in an interview
and refused to discuss it. Remember the Socialist Democrats AOC,
(02:14):
for example, they don't target Republicans, they target Democrats. AOC
defeated a ten term Democrat in New York. Why because
their goal is to first take over the Democrat Party,
then get rid of the electoral College, then dismantle the
republic mission one take over the party. They see the
(02:36):
party in disarray and they're ready to seize the moment.
So the Dems want schumeraut is a AOC they want
in We turned to GOP analyst and consultant Chris Walker,
who joins us every morning as a contributor on your
morning show. Sure looks like AOC, is it? Good morning, Michael? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I mean what a what a scene. You know, there's
a picture going around Twitter or access is called now
is you know, thirty thousand people in Denver And your
first question is are there thirty thousand people in Denver who.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Are this dumb? But here they are, here, they are.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
You know, this is this is this is the moment
that seems to have some energy enthusiasm behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
All right, So Chucky caved because there's a portion and
it includes this extreme left of the Democrat Party that
wants obstruction at any cost. They're not pro American. They're
not about finding common ground, they're not about putting America first.
They're about gaining power. So clearly they're going to get
back at Chucky by running AOC. Let's say they get
(03:37):
their weight and they play out the strategy. Can they
see beat Chucky in a state wide Senate race?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I I want to say no, in part because the
Republicans have experienced this for a long time in a
lot of ways. I mean, there's been a kind of
a more conservative version of Republicans that have tried to
challenge up people in the past and haven't succeeded. Trump
is the first one to kind of come through that
with kind of bringing both sides of the factions in tact,
(04:07):
and so I think that's something that's going to have
to happen for the Democrats. I don't think there's enough
Democrats from an AOC side of the of the coin
to matter. Ultimately, a lot of the Democrats want to
win and they got to figure out how to do it.
Is that Gavin Newsom or is that AOC. I think
anyone will tell you it's more to happen than it
is AOC, but from a standpoint of where the where
the kind of the grassroots of the party is, it's
(04:30):
it's definitely AOC that could be enough in a primary,
but my gut is just not enough.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
We're looking over this polling information, and again there's some
consistency with this. First we had the CNN polling, followed
by the NBC polling, and now the Fox polling, and
it all shows consistently an approval rating problem for the
Democrat Party and a higher approval rating by anywhere from
six points to double digits for Republicans. And I can
(04:56):
go through all the numbers I can. I can give
you the Republican view in the mirror of them sells
eighty three percent approval. The Democrats' biggest problem is when
they're looking in the mirror only a seventy two percent
favorability rating on themselves. Twenty six percent of Democrats have
an unfavorable view of their own party. I believe it's
that extreme left obstruction at any cost. And then when
(05:17):
you get into this this this to me was by
far and away the most staggering number. Fifty percent of whites,
forty two percent of blacks, fifty six percent of Hispanics
and sixty six percent of all other minorities have a
favorable view of the GOP. Imagine forty two percent Blacks
with a favorable view of the GOP for the Democrats
only forty three percent of whites. The black vote that
(05:40):
Barack Obama once took with ninety seven percent is down
to a sixty percent approval rating. Hispanics have been lost
now in majority is down to forty seven percent and
twenty two percent of other minorities via the Democrat Party favorably.
This is a party in real trouble.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
It is well, this is what happens when you're you
know number one idall as trans and you know, and
and an absurdity, you know, the Democrats aren't.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Offering anything you know, relative to people's checkbooks or people's
talking books or fixing an economy that you know, continues
to kind of be stagnant, that they're only offering the
craziest and crazy in terms of social engineering. And so yeah,
the numbers at surprise, but again it's you've seen someone
like Gavin Newson come out and say, hey, like, we're
(06:28):
not you know, the trans issue is is not something you.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Know I do now granted, he's he's crazy because he's
he was the one that led it for a long
time and now coming out and saying he's against it.
I mean, obviously he's like a politician and politician's clothing.
But you know, at the same time, he knows where
actual winning has to go, because Democrats offering that right
now is an abject failure, and he sees it and
(06:52):
knows it. If he wants to win, he's going They're
going to have to transition.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Chris Walker is a GOP consultant and analyst joins us every
Monday as contributor for your morning show. I said on
local radio before we went iHeart and then Premiere that
I felt one or both parties will be gone by
the end of the decade. Everybody thought I was crazy.
It sure looks like it could be the Democrats. And
here's the problem. Axios takes on the ten reasons the
(07:17):
Democrats lost with this premise, we have to understand why
we lost. If we're going to avoid losing again, then
it's like an issue of it was all Joe's fault,
it was all Kamala's fault. Podcasting and social media, we
thought things were still about CNNMSNBC, and it was a
lot more about Joe Rogan, Megan, Kelly Tucker, Carlston and
(07:37):
podcasts and where the American people listen. Now, we were
two woke elitist words, elitist policies, inflation, inflation, inflation, it's
the economy, stupid, the border. Trump is one of a kind,
and we just don't know how to solve this mass disruptor.
Of course, what they'll never explore is it's all of
the above, because it's really a world view problem, a
(08:01):
party platform problem, and a policy view problem. And if
they shift, what are they I mean, that's the question.
I mean, what is their next move?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Well, far me for me to let my enemies not enemies,
that's not the right word, our opposition, you know, try
to help them get in their own way.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But at the same time, you know, Democrats are going
to have to get back to the.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Roots of what made them popular. It's trying to think
first about the middle class. This is the elitist party
right now that is most successful and incredibly wealthy suburbs
and in you.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Know, the most extreme versions of the left, and that's
not where the.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Majority of people are. If Democrats really want to get
back to the grassroots. You know, they need to decide
we need we care about people's pocketbooks, care about people's jobs.
That's something that the President Trump and Provide President Advance
has done a really good job of trying to trying.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
To, you know, articulate bringing American.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Jobs back, looking at the middle class and figure out
how to jobs back that have gone to China, you know,
fixing illegal immigration, things that normal people care about day
in and day out. Democrats have to figure out how
to do that, and we saw them with Bernie Sanders
in his interview with Johan Carl talking about immigration.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Granted, going against everything he's said for the past ten years,
but you know that's one thing that he's like seeing
as an issue.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
That no class people really care about. They don't want
to see illegal immigration anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So he pivots. But by and large, what we're seeing
is the party kind of splitting the Democrats into we're
not obstructing enough, or we need to pivot and we
need to unite, and we need to get behind the
things that make sense, that are working, that the American
people are behind, and begin to exploit our slight difference
(09:46):
and we're a year and a half from the midterms,
and then I'm looking at those favorability numbers and it
doesn't look good for them from inner cities, let alone
district by district. I mean, not only they quite figured
it out yet, is the understatement of the year.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Oh, I think that's right.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I think they're so determined with their belief structure from
the far left that they they don't know how to
fix it right now. And you know, if they want
to win, and they very much do, they're going to
have to try to figure out how to.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Pivot a little bit. I think they will.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
That means you're coming along with some of the issues. Crime,
you know, the economy, and immigration are all.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Three things the Democrats are going to have to review
with Trump on and right now the only thing they
can see is you know, anti Trump, and it's putting
them in a position of absolute, you know, disconnect from
the voters.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Who care about the takes.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I mean, Trump's a genius in being able to have
triangulated that used to be democratic.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
She's a turn into the the Republicans. It's an amazing thing
to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Closing moments of Chris Walker, if passed his prologue don't
forget Bernie Sanders would have won the nomination in twenty sixteen.
The party had to get involved to riggot for Hillary
with super delegate and other actions. He don't want to
get in plenty, but they got the deal. Joe Biden
fourth in Iowa sixth coming out of New Hampshire, so
(11:09):
that far left. Because of how active they are in primaries,
they're going to be there and it's not going to
be Bernie this time. And if he's passing the torch
and it appears he is to AOC, she could very
well be a leading candidate, if not the nominee unless
the party gets involved again. And I believe they will
and rig it for Romney Manuel or probably Wes Moore.
(11:32):
But but people that aren't taking AOC serious, I think
their plan is get her in the Senate and just
like Barack Obama sixty days later running for president. I'm
convinced of that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I think that's certainly possible. I think that would be
a foolish errand for them, I mean, goodness, graciously again, well.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
They would never do a foolish it, would they?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Well they did last year, so I mean, you know,
hisory may repeat itself again. But you know, the Democrats
have got to figure out how to moderate their position.
I know that sounds crazy coming, you know, as a
as a political tactic, but you know they're so far left,
it's so up on mainstream when you've lost Elon Musk.
Let's not forget Musk is a Democrat. Like he's cutting
(12:15):
government in a way that I've wanted to see Garment
cup for a long time. But there are a lot
of the Democrats who have come to President Trump because
of this various different things, and so again, you know,
how do you win over the people who have come
to Trump. It's by you've got to like start talking
their language again. So that's where I see the Democrats
having to kind of figure out how to pivot to
eventually or else they're going to. You may be right
(12:36):
that one of the parties may.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Not exist within within five to ten years.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I got to tell you, if you'd have asked me
a week ago, should the President go to a National
Championship wrestling and Philadelphia, I said, why? Just another historic,
magical American moment waiting to and eventually unfolded. I mean,
pretty soon the Democrats are going to be running against
not a Republican party, but an American party. I mean,
(13:00):
it's everything that he does just turns out so right.
And it looks like peace talks are moving forward for
a ceasefire with Russia and Ukraine. I mean, it's just
it's just good. Good to be Donald Trump right now.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
That's for certain, incredible accomplishment. And again, let's look at
the space program. Last week we saw you know, SpaceX
rescue the astronauts, something that Joe Biden refused to do.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
When he was in the White House. I mean, that's that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Should make people angry. This isn't a country that leaves
patriots and and you know, trail letters behind, and yet
that's what the Democrat Party offered because of petty politics,
you know. And here you have somebody hit someone in
Elon who has creative rockets that save people and are
going to kind of expand humanity. That's a tremendous thing
that you know, can bring people together and our kids.
(13:44):
You know, I grew up with the Space Shuttle and
the and the inspiration of the Space Show provider. Now
we have new inspiration with new rockets, and that's a
great thing. And that's something and look at what the
left is doing. They're deriding it because they hate Elon.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It was a splashdown in more ways than one. Chris
Walker has always our Gobton analyst and weekly contributor. Thanks
for your time. We'll talk to you again next Monday
or sooner if conditions warned. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It's your morning show with Michael Delchurno.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Just to send a note above the judge's obstruction with
the illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Where is Pam Bondi in all of this earth? Is
this not her lane to be in? Where's Bondi? Pam Bondy?
You ask? US Attorney General. Pam Bondi says, it's the
Supreme Court that we'll have to get involved with this
ongoing battle over the Trump administration's deportation flights. Mark Mayfield
(14:44):
has the details.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Bondi told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures the federal judge
who ordered deportation flights stopped is overstepping his authority.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The Supreme Court will get involved. This is an out
of control judge.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Bondie, you accuse the judge of trying to say you
foreign policy and found that the Trump administration would continue
to fight the judges order in court. The battle stems
from the Trump administration's decision to toor illegal immigrants, it
claims our gang members, even after a ruling by US
District Judge James Bosberg blocking the deportations.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm Mark Neefield to our listen at whlo you may
now proceed to the second window. Who's Jorno is in delivery?
You know I love the people. I don't call me
a simple guy, but that still cracks me up. Hey,
the you wonder U was socialized medicine if the Pope
would have gotten five weeks to recover if he was
(15:37):
anybody else. But he did and he's headed back to
the Vatican.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
The eighty eight year old Pope made a brief appearance
for the first time in more than five weeks, waving
from the hospital balcony in Rome. The Pope smiled and
greeted the cheering crowds and said thank you all before
being taken back inside. Minutes later, he could be seen
waving from the backseat of a car as a convoy
left the hospital for a short trip back to the Vatican.
The Pope had been hupell licensed February fourteenth with double
(16:02):
pneumonia I'm chammanged.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
For he let's it not all you pot smokers. I
see your future and it evolves a heart attack.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
A new study phone that people under the age of
fifty who consume marijuana are about six point two times
more likely to experience a heart attack than non marijuana users.
These study also shows young marijuana users are more likely
to experience heart failure and an eschemic a stroke. The
lead researchers says, until there is more solid data, he
advises people to try and regulate their cannabis use.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I'm Mark Mayfield and in basketball NBA Pistons won at
home one thirty six, one thirty over the Pels, Caps
beat the Jazz, Blazers, fell to the Celtics, and the
Thunder up the Clippers by two. On the ice, Blues
beat the Predators four to one. There's a shocker. Lightning
lost in Vegas forty two to the Knights, and Ducks
lost five two to the Canes. Kings beat the Bruins
(16:51):
seven to two. That's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning show Show with Michael Jill Jorner.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
It's me, Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety
at Dallas Sport Worth, Freedom one oh four point seven
in Washington, DC and five fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Take us along on the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
News and that's why more Manuller watching the cartoon Networks
Lungebobbery runs right now.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I'm a big ad Democrat. This is like a goldstong.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
As you should have a government that just minds its
own damn business.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And these people alone, that'd be good advice if they'd listen.
All right, So what do you make of the Democrat
Party and what's the way forward? Do they begin to
admit things that the American people support the president for
doing or do they keep obstructing at any cost. Well,
even Bernie Sanders gives the president old credit because you know,
(18:01):
the left has always been about law and order in
securing the border.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Is there anything that you think Trump has done?
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, I mean I think cracking down on fentanyl, making
sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration
is appropriate. Now I have to think we need comprehensive
immigration reform.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
This just didn't. This just did hell froze over. There's
Bernie admitting nobody thinks it's okay to break into the country.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh I thought that that would no.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, But this is this is what's going to be
interesting because we always say, you know, how long can
the Democrats play this ridiculous game?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
You got you gotta admit reality, you're so out of
touch with the American people. But then when they do,
is it really believable?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
But I don't think that it's appropriate for people to
be coming across the border illegally. So we've got to
work now on comprehensive immigration reform. The idea that Trump has,
I don't know what his latest umps us he wants
to depoint twenty million people who are in this country
who are undocumented. Well, you do that, you destroy the
entire company country. Because I got news for your Trump's
(19:09):
billion half friends. I'm not going to pick the cps
in California that feed us. They're not gonna wink.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's kind of half and half out, isn't he this
was a great moment because the great Noster del Jona
spoke last week. Notice I take no credit for it,
but unconscious with the music playing, he said, AOC is
the heir apparent to Bernie Sanders. Now, to believe it
or not, that goof you're listening to. He would have
(19:34):
gotten the nomination in twenty sixteen, he'd have got it
again in twenty twenty, but the party got involved to
rig it for Hillary and Joe. This time around. He's
too old. So who's his their apparent? I say it's AOC.
He appears with her. They're targeting Schumer with AOC in
New York for the Senate. I presume to pull a
(19:57):
Barack Obama in sixty days later running for president. God
forbid that. John Carl ask him that question on ABC
this week, because here was the response.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
Cassio Cortez's criticism of Schumer has been harsher, fueling speculation
she'll challenge him in the Democratic primary when he is
up for reelection in three years. For his part, Sanders
doesn't want to talk about whether or not Schumer should
remain the Democratic leader in the Senate, and he got
irritated when I asked him about the possibility of AOC
running abruptly getting up to end the interview. Okay, you're
(20:30):
out there with AOC today, do you see her as
a future of the progression?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I have one of the untold stories of what's going
on in cartin American politics is that in the House
of Representatives, you have dozens and dozens of strong, smart, discipline,
hard working young people in the Progressive Caucus. And you know,
way back when.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
By the way, when he says progressive caucus, not to interrupt,
but he means the socialist democrat, the squad stream left.
He doesn't mean progressives as in the Obama's pretty stream
for me too. But you know, your typical establishment Democrats
they're gone. They don't even exist. Progressive Democrats they do exist,
(21:15):
but they're losing the tug of war with the extreme
far left. So he's only bragging about his what he
calls progressive justice democrats.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Listen, when I first came to the Congress. In the House,
I helped fulm the Progressive Court because we had five
people in downtown. Now they got close to Quandred, so
you got a whole lot of good people. Alexandra, who
is extraordinary. I am so impressed by her work in
Congress and her justice. She inspires young people of over
the country. You're joining the Senate right now. We have,
(21:44):
as I said, just a whole lot of people in
the Congress. Okay, Jonathan, thanks, way, I got one that's important. Well,
I asked you, Okay, you know you want to do
nonsense to nonsense.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, I don't want to talk about inside about myself.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I got thirty two thousand people. I was just asking
me about AOC because he was fine. But I don't
want to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What was the last question?
Speaker 11 (22:02):
I was gonna ask you one more question about you?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, that's all. I was literally lost.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Why what is your question? Well, I'm going to see that.
I mean, I want to ask you about your future.
This is the biggest crowd. You said you usually ran
for president twice. This is the biggest crowd you've ever seen.
Are we going to see you run again? Or what's
your what's your family?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Right now? I am very proud that the people in
the state of Romont sent me back to the Senate
with sixty three percent of.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
The right now Vermont's Center.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's what I do, and I'm very happy.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Okay, so bottom line of this Sound of the Day,
it was a very irrational in other words, he's with
his friends, he's with his family. I mean, this is
John Carl, this is ABC this week. You just had
a massive crowd. You choose to bring AOC up stand
there holding our arms up like you just want a
boxing match together. I don't know if that was a
(22:58):
glimpse at a future ticket. I don't know what John
Carl said that upset him so much that he gets
up and then just when you're thinking, well, maybe he
didn't have any more time than he makes go, I'm
not going to do nonsense. I'm not going to do
inside the Beltway stuff with John Carl revealing too soon
what was obvious for all of us to see. Anyway,
I just thought it was a very bizarre but very
(23:19):
telling exchange. The rooster could grow three times, Noster Dell
Jornal's quatrain could come true. I'm telling you the plan
is for them maybe even to push him and AOC
together because they're battling against their party. And just as
(23:39):
the Democrat Party blocked him in twenty sixteen, again in
twenty twenty he got short with John Carl because he
doesn't want the Democrat Party having any leeway, any early
timing to block him in AOC, which is the plan,
and block him they will or try again for a
third time with probably Romney Manuel. And you know, ever
(24:06):
since that one caller said, don't bring up his name?
What are you in love with him? I can't remember
the name of the Maryland governor Michem bro No Ben
Sipear is Wesmore. Thank you. I would have never even
been able to imagine why the President of the United
States would be in Philadelphia for a wrestling national championship.
(24:27):
But that's why he's president and I'm a nobody on
the radio, because not only was he there for a
magical moment, he was the spotlight of the magical moment.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
This god, this biggest outside.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Okay, so that that's a miracle on the matt in
and of itself. Oklahoma State University's Wyatt Hendrickson defeats the
Olympic champion Gable Steveson, and it was so reminiscent of
when the Miracle on Ice took place. I mean, he's
(25:16):
just sitting there, stunned, he can't believe he lost, and
then everything's going crazy, and it's almost as if he's
taking in the moment, because you don't have that moment
unless you're great. But then the second lieutenant walks to
the middle of the mat, points at the President of
the United States, salutes the President. The President gives him
fist pump. I mean, that was just censory over little time.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Captain America, Captain America block.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
The fool he did it.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Hey shut up, everybody shut up.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Everybody shut up. What a miracle on the map. Now
we were all in March madness mode, and I found
it very interesting. I have time for one more, right, Yeah,
So Fox put together it's Sweet sixteen bracket of its own,
the Doge Bracket. Listen while it's going on.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
Okay, speaking of Doge, Senate DOGE Caucus Chair Joni Ernst
has launched the twenty twenty five Doge Madness Tournament of
Waste bracket.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
So what we did.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
We had every DOGE Caucus members submit their entry for
the Sweet sixteen. And believe me, we could have gone
on forever. Thousands and thousands of examples of waste.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
The Sweet sixteen has been whittled down to the elite
eight with the winners being picked on X By the way,
there is just no way I cannot There are some
real dooziest waste, including a forty five million spent on
de I scholarships in Burma, one point three million wasted
(27:02):
on health equity for trans youth of color, two billion
sent to the Taliban after the US withdrawal, and one
hundred and sixty eight thousand spent on an Anthony Founci exhibit.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Twenty two billion on housing and cars for illegals, and
then the billion sent to the Taliban. That's got to
be your national championship. But what a sweet sixteen bracket
of doge the inconvenient truth for the far left. Our
final sound of the day we didn't have time for.
(27:32):
It was just a Utah senator kind of defending the president.
I thought maybe our best story of the day had
to do with the favorability ratings of the Democrats, the
fact that they have lost that they are are forty
percent of black voters that have a positive favorable view
of the Republican Party. It's down to sixty percent for
(27:52):
a favorable view of the Democrat Party. They have lost
sixty percent of Hispanics and non Hispanics, even higher of
other minority groups with a positive view of the Republican Party,
not a below fifty percent for the Democrats. This is
going to be a real problem come midterm election. Tim
Walls's walk back of his Tesla joke basically, he's just
(28:14):
as smart Alec. He didn't say Alec and that we
can't take a joke. He probably realized that much of
his state employees are heavily invested in their pension fund
in Tesla, and it ended up being a pretty big blooper.
And then we had the Senator from Michigan Slotkin, who
(28:35):
she's really one of the few that's trying to take
this less activist against Trump role and more reasonable Democrat role.
But there just doesn't seem to be on the left
much traction for that, and there seems to be a
lot of traction for Bernie and AOC. Those are the
things we didn't quite get to. But that's your Sounds
of the Day for this Monday, March to twenty fourth,
(28:56):
Always revealing, often entertaining.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
This Your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
President Trump's Special envoy to the Middle East says negotiations
are making great progress towards the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Steve Winkoff told Fox News Sunday that a seasfire on
the Black Sea could be coming soon.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
I think that you're going to see in Saudi Arabia
on Monday some real progress, particularly as it affects a
Black Sea ceasefire on ships.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
He went on to say that from there a full
seasfire should be coming soon. Wingkoff insisted his main goal
is to end the conflict and stop the killing, going
on to criticize the Biden administration for its refusal to
negotiate with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I'm mark Neefield. Executive order states it, though the media
doesn't like to report it, but Education Secretary of Linda
McMahon reiterated the federal funding will continue for essential education programs.
Amid the push for the administration to shut down the
Department of Education, Tammy Trihillo has more.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Nick Man was questioned on the future of the department
to bring an interview with CNN State of Union, where
she defended President Trump's executive order to initiate the closure
of the department. The outward facing programs that are going
to be affecting students are there's not going to be
any defunding for those programs. McMahon said many of the
programs the Department funds will be transferred to other agencies
(30:16):
in an effort to make education funding more efficient. She
said this is part of the Trump administration's larger goal
of strengthening state control over education. I'm Tammy, Trheo.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Said, who's on two fronts. Former Utah Congresswoman Mia Love
is dead. Love was the first Black Republican woman elected
to Congress, died at her home Sunday after a battle
with brain cancer. Mia Love was just forty nine years old,
and legendary boxer George Foreman has passed. Jim Forbes takes
a look back at his life.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
His family announced he passed away peacefully on Friday at
the age of seventy six, surrounded by loved ones. Foreman
was a two time heavyweight champion and gold medal Olympian
who participated in two of the most infamous boxing matches
of all time, the Fight of the Century against Joe
Frasier in nineteen seventy one and the Rumble in the
(31:05):
Jungle against Muhammad Ali in nineteen seventy four. In their statement,
his family said, Foreman, quote lived a life marked by
unwavering faith, humidity, and purpose. No cause of death was provided,
and the family has asked for privacy at this time.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'm Jim Forbes, said my son Nicholas, Dad. Did you
know he named all his sons George? Yes? I did.
As a matter of fact, roy o'neils, here, are you
among the millions of Americans chasing credit card rewards because
Rory's got a little bit of advice for you. That's
not such a great idea, No, it's not.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
And bankreade out with a report this morning that says
about seventy two percent of Americans who have credit card
debt are still making more purchases to get those rewards. Duh,
I mean that's upside down. You know, these rewards are
worth one or two percent. The interest rate you're paying
is about twenty five percent. So when you figure that
(31:59):
the average household in America has sixty three hundred dollars
in credit card debt, that's about fifteen hundred bucks a
year just on interest.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So yeah, they're gonna.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
Give you a free night at the holiday inn, which
which maybe your only night of room and board for
the year if you keep that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
But you know, I mean, I guess if you listen,
if you've got a high credit rating and you can
qualify for you know, a really good cash back or
miles with an airline and you fly a lot, and
you fly for business a lot, some of these things
can make sense to charge it knowing you're going to
pay it off in full and get the miles. But
to make the mode of chasing one or two percent
(32:40):
when ninety eight percent of it is debt and you know,
and I think you're being kind on the twenty four
percent interest, it's probably higher no matter depending on whose
credit card it is. I mean, it just doesn't make it.
I mean, you don't need to be Dave Ramsey on this.
Speaker 13 (32:52):
One, right, But seventy two percent of Americans are doing it,
so clearly the message isn't getting out there, or people
are stuck, and you know, they're forced to put more
and more things on credit cards, which is a problem
in and of itself. So try to get those zero
percent balance transfers. Try to get out of this monthly
debt as best you can, because it is almost impossible
(33:14):
to dig yourself out of that hole.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
It doesn't matter. You know. There was an old I
learned this early on, believe it. I'm going to quote
personal power with I'm blank on his name now, Anthony Robbins.
He had a simple formula that was powerful made sense.
Passion equals focus equals action. Action sets in motion or direction,
arrives at a destination. If you get your focus on
(33:39):
these rewards, believe it or not, you'll start pursuing them.
And it takes a lot of debt to build them up.
So I mean it is the power of focus though, right,
I mean for those that go right to their Hey
we got sixty cash back?
Speaker 13 (33:51):
Yeah, but right, well, because that's what they want to
focus on, not the fact that it's sixty three hundred
in the red. So yeah, to your earlier point. If
you pay it off, these things can be great. There
are a hassle to track between your airline and your
hotel and your Amazon and your whatever costco.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
It's a hassle to track.
Speaker 13 (34:08):
But if you can, and if you pay it off
every month, it can be lucrative if you pay it
off every month.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
But most don't. All right, So, as you know, Rory,
I've been doing miles with Southwest Airlines, and I've got
a lot of miles, and I focused on that. I
built those miles up on purpose so I could come
fly and spend the weekend with you. And you've since
moved and you won't send me your new address, so exactly.
Speaker 13 (34:29):
Because I've been buying miles on Delta to get the
heck out of town.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
And just another example, Ay, you don't chase miles are
cash back.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Great reporting, Roy, We're all in this together. This is

(01:07):
I'm not dead or off the era. I'm on seventy
seven markets, including yours in Nashville. Really, what time? What station?
I gotta stay in the lake? What don't we got
a stealth operation here if you're just waking up eight
minutes after the hour, President Trump special envoy says things
are going great with the Middle East negotiations, making progress
towards the ceasefire with Russia and Ukraine. It's a miracle.
(01:31):
The Pulpe is out of the hospital double pneumonia, five
weeks in the hospital, only has one lunon and he's
recovering at the Vatican now after being released from the
hospital yesterday. And police in New Mexico say there have
been four rests in connection now with that deadly mass
shooting at the park in Las Cruces that left three
dead and fifteen wounded. And Senate Minority Leader CHUCKI. Schumer says,
(01:53):
I'm not stepping down. I'm not going anywhere. Meanwhile, is
AOC the Ara pairrant to the Bernie Sanders coalition. Sure
looked like it at a campaign stop. Sure looked like
it when he walked off the set in an interview
and refused to discuss it. Remember the Socialist Democrats AOC,
(02:14):
for example, they don't target Republicans, they target Democrats. AOC
defeated a ten term Democrat in New York. Why because
their goal is to first take over the Democrat Party,
then get rid of the electoral College, then dismantle the
republic mission one take over the party. They see the
(02:36):
party in disarray and they're ready to seize the moment.
So the Dems want schumeraut is a AOC they want
in We turned to GOP analyst and consultant Chris Walker,
who joins us every morning as a contributor on your
morning show. Sure looks like AOC, is it? Good morning, Michael? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I mean what a what a scene. You know, there's
a picture going around Twitter or access is called now
is you know, thirty thousand people in Denver And your
first question is are there thirty thousand people in Denver who.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Are this dumb? But here they are, here, they are.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
You know, this is this is this is the moment
that seems to have some energy enthusiasm behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
All right, So Chucky caved because there's a portion and
it includes this extreme left of the Democrat Party that
wants obstruction at any cost. They're not pro American. They're
not about finding common ground, they're not about putting America first.
They're about gaining power. So clearly they're going to get
back at Chucky by running AOC. Let's say they get
(03:37):
their weight and they play out the strategy. Can they
see beat Chucky in a state wide Senate race?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I I want to say no, in part because the
Republicans have experienced this for a long time in a
lot of ways. I mean, there's been a kind of
a more conservative version of Republicans that have tried to
challenge up people in the past and haven't succeeded. Trump
is the first one to kind of come through that
with kind of bringing both sides of the factions in tact,
(04:07):
and so I think that's something that's going to have
to happen for the Democrats. I don't think there's enough
Democrats from an AOC side of the of the coin
to matter. Ultimately, a lot of the Democrats want to
win and they got to figure out how to do it.
Is that Gavin Newsom or is that AOC. I think
anyone will tell you it's more to happen than it
is AOC, but from a standpoint of where the where
the kind of the grassroots of the party is, it's
(04:30):
it's definitely AOC that could be enough in a primary,
but my gut is just not enough.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
We're looking over this polling information, and again there's some
consistency with this. First we had the CNN polling, followed
by the NBC polling, and now the Fox polling, and
it all shows consistently an approval rating problem for the
Democrat Party and a higher approval rating by anywhere from
six points to double digits for Republicans. And I can
(04:56):
go through all the numbers I can. I can give
you the Republican view in the mirror of them sells
eighty three percent approval. The Democrats' biggest problem is when
they're looking in the mirror only a seventy two percent
favorability rating on themselves. Twenty six percent of Democrats have
an unfavorable view of their own party. I believe it's
that extreme left obstruction at any cost. And then when
(05:17):
you get into this this this to me was by
far and away the most staggering number. Fifty percent of whites,
forty two percent of blacks, fifty six percent of Hispanics
and sixty six percent of all other minorities have a
favorable view of the GOP. Imagine forty two percent Blacks
with a favorable view of the GOP for the Democrats
only forty three percent of whites. The black vote that
(05:40):
Barack Obama once took with ninety seven percent is down
to a sixty percent approval rating. Hispanics have been lost
now in majority is down to forty seven percent and
twenty two percent of other minorities via the Democrat Party favorably.
This is a party in real trouble.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
It is well, this is what happens when you're you
know number one idall as trans and you know, and
and an absurdity, you know, the Democrats aren't.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Offering anything you know, relative to people's checkbooks or people's
talking books or fixing an economy that you know, continues
to kind of be stagnant, that they're only offering the
craziest and crazy in terms of social engineering. And so yeah,
the numbers at surprise, but again it's you've seen someone
like Gavin Newson come out and say, hey, like, we're
(06:28):
not you know, the trans issue is is not something you.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Know I do now granted, he's he's crazy because he's
he was the one that led it for a long
time and now coming out and saying he's against it.
I mean, obviously he's like a politician and politician's clothing.
But you know, at the same time, he knows where
actual winning has to go, because Democrats offering that right
now is an abject failure, and he sees it and
(06:52):
knows it. If he wants to win, he's going They're
going to have to transition.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Chris Walker is a GOP consultant and analyst joins us every
Monday as contributor for your morning show. I said on
local radio before we went iHeart and then Premiere that
I felt one or both parties will be gone by
the end of the decade. Everybody thought I was crazy.
It sure looks like it could be the Democrats. And
here's the problem. Axios takes on the ten reasons the
(07:17):
Democrats lost with this premise, we have to understand why
we lost. If we're going to avoid losing again, then
it's like an issue of it was all Joe's fault,
it was all Kamala's fault. Podcasting and social media, we
thought things were still about CNNMSNBC, and it was a
lot more about Joe Rogan, Megan, Kelly Tucker, Carlston and
(07:37):
podcasts and where the American people listen. Now, we were
two woke elitist words, elitist policies, inflation, inflation, inflation, it's
the economy, stupid, the border. Trump is one of a kind,
and we just don't know how to solve this mass disruptor.
Of course, what they'll never explore is it's all of
the above, because it's really a world view problem, a
(08:01):
party platform problem, and a policy view problem. And if
they shift, what are they I mean, that's the question.
I mean, what is their next move?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Well, far me for me to let my enemies not enemies,
that's not the right word, our opposition, you know, try
to help them get in their own way.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But at the same time, you know, Democrats are going
to have to get back to the.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Roots of what made them popular. It's trying to think
first about the middle class. This is the elitist party
right now that is most successful and incredibly wealthy suburbs
and in you.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Know, the most extreme versions of the left, and that's
not where the.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Majority of people are. If Democrats really want to get
back to the grassroots. You know, they need to decide
we need we care about people's pocketbooks, care about people's jobs.
That's something that the President Trump and Provide President Advance
has done a really good job of trying to trying.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
To, you know, articulate bringing American.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Jobs back, looking at the middle class and figure out
how to jobs back that have gone to China, you know,
fixing illegal immigration, things that normal people care about day
in and day out. Democrats have to figure out how
to do that, and we saw them with Bernie Sanders
in his interview with Johan Carl talking about immigration.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Granted, going against everything he's said for the past ten years,
but you know that's one thing that he's like seeing
as an issue.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
That no class people really care about. They don't want
to see illegal immigration anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So he pivots. But by and large, what we're seeing
is the party kind of splitting the Democrats into we're
not obstructing enough, or we need to pivot and we
need to unite, and we need to get behind the
things that make sense, that are working, that the American
people are behind, and begin to exploit our slight difference
(09:46):
and we're a year and a half from the midterms,
and then I'm looking at those favorability numbers and it
doesn't look good for them from inner cities, let alone
district by district. I mean, not only they quite figured
it out yet, is the understatement of the year.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Oh, I think that's right.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I think they're so determined with their belief structure from
the far left that they they don't know how to
fix it right now. And you know, if they want
to win, and they very much do, they're going to
have to try to figure out how to.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Pivot a little bit. I think they will.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
That means you're coming along with some of the issues. Crime,
you know, the economy, and immigration are all.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Three things the Democrats are going to have to review
with Trump on and right now the only thing they
can see is you know, anti Trump, and it's putting
them in a position of absolute, you know, disconnect from
the voters.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Who care about the takes.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I mean, Trump's a genius in being able to have
triangulated that used to be democratic.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
She's a turn into the the Republicans. It's an amazing thing
to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Closing moments of Chris Walker, if passed his prologue don't
forget Bernie Sanders would have won the nomination in twenty sixteen.
The party had to get involved to riggot for Hillary
with super delegate and other actions. He don't want to
get in plenty, but they got the deal. Joe Biden
fourth in Iowa sixth coming out of New Hampshire, so
(11:09):
that far left. Because of how active they are in primaries,
they're going to be there and it's not going to
be Bernie this time. And if he's passing the torch
and it appears he is to AOC, she could very
well be a leading candidate, if not the nominee unless
the party gets involved again. And I believe they will
and rig it for Romney Manuel or probably Wes Moore.
(11:32):
But but people that aren't taking AOC serious, I think
their plan is get her in the Senate and just
like Barack Obama sixty days later running for president. I'm
convinced of that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I think that's certainly possible. I think that would be
a foolish errand for them, I mean, goodness, graciously again, well.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
They would never do a foolish it, would they?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Well they did last year, so I mean, you know,
hisory may repeat itself again. But you know, the Democrats
have got to figure out how to moderate their position.
I know that sounds crazy coming, you know, as a
as a political tactic, but you know they're so far left,
it's so up on mainstream when you've lost Elon Musk.
Let's not forget Musk is a Democrat. Like he's cutting
(12:15):
government in a way that I've wanted to see Garment
cup for a long time. But there are a lot
of the Democrats who have come to President Trump because
of this various different things, and so again, you know,
how do you win over the people who have come
to Trump. It's by you've got to like start talking
their language again. So that's where I see the Democrats
having to kind of figure out how to pivot to
eventually or else they're going to. You may be right
(12:36):
that one of the parties may.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Not exist within within five to ten years.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I got to tell you, if you'd have asked me
a week ago, should the President go to a National
Championship wrestling and Philadelphia, I said, why? Just another historic,
magical American moment waiting to and eventually unfolded. I mean,
pretty soon the Democrats are going to be running against
not a Republican party, but an American party. I mean,
(13:00):
it's everything that he does just turns out so right.
And it looks like peace talks are moving forward for
a ceasefire with Russia and Ukraine. I mean, it's just
it's just good. Good to be Donald Trump right now.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
That's for certain, incredible accomplishment. And again, let's look at
the space program. Last week we saw you know, SpaceX
rescue the astronauts, something that Joe Biden refused to do.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
When he was in the White House. I mean, that's that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Should make people angry. This isn't a country that leaves
patriots and and you know, trail letters behind, and yet
that's what the Democrat Party offered because of petty politics,
you know. And here you have somebody hit someone in
Elon who has creative rockets that save people and are
going to kind of expand humanity. That's a tremendous thing
that you know, can bring people together and our kids.
(13:44):
You know, I grew up with the Space Shuttle and
the and the inspiration of the Space Show provider. Now
we have new inspiration with new rockets, and that's a
great thing. And that's something and look at what the
left is doing. They're deriding it because they hate Elon.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It was a splashdown in more ways than one. Chris
Walker has always our Gobton analyst and weekly contributor. Thanks
for your time. We'll talk to you again next Monday
or sooner if conditions warned. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It's your morning show with Michael Delchurno.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Just to send a note above the judge's obstruction with
the illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Where is Pam Bondi in all of this earth? Is
this not her lane to be in? Where's Bondi? Pam Bondy?
You ask? US Attorney General. Pam Bondi says, it's the
Supreme Court that we'll have to get involved with this
ongoing battle over the Trump administration's deportation flights. Mark Mayfield
(14:44):
has the details.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Bondi told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures the federal judge
who ordered deportation flights stopped is overstepping his authority.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The Supreme Court will get involved. This is an out
of control judge.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Bondie, you accuse the judge of trying to say you
foreign policy and found that the Trump administration would continue
to fight the judges order in court. The battle stems
from the Trump administration's decision to toor illegal immigrants, it
claims our gang members, even after a ruling by US
District Judge James Bosberg blocking the deportations.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm Mark Neefield to our listen at whlo you may
now proceed to the second window. Who's Jorno is in delivery?
You know I love the people. I don't call me
a simple guy, but that still cracks me up. Hey,
the you wonder U was socialized medicine if the Pope
would have gotten five weeks to recover if he was
(15:37):
anybody else. But he did and he's headed back to
the Vatican.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
The eighty eight year old Pope made a brief appearance
for the first time in more than five weeks, waving
from the hospital balcony in Rome. The Pope smiled and
greeted the cheering crowds and said thank you all before
being taken back inside. Minutes later, he could be seen
waving from the backseat of a car as a convoy
left the hospital for a short trip back to the Vatican.
The Pope had been hupell licensed February fourteenth with double
(16:02):
pneumonia I'm chammanged.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
For he let's it not all you pot smokers. I
see your future and it evolves a heart attack.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
A new study phone that people under the age of
fifty who consume marijuana are about six point two times
more likely to experience a heart attack than non marijuana users.
These study also shows young marijuana users are more likely
to experience heart failure and an eschemic a stroke. The
lead researchers says, until there is more solid data, he
advises people to try and regulate their cannabis use.

home one thirty six, one thirty over the Pels, Caps
beat the Jazz, Blazers, fell to the Celtics, and the
Thunder up the Clippers by two. On the ice, Blues
beat the Predators four to one. There's a shocker. Lightning
lost in Vegas forty two to the Knights, and Ducks
lost five two to the Canes. Kings beat the Bruins
(16:51):
seven to two. That's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning show Show with Michael Jill Jorner.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
It's me, Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety
at Dallas Sport Worth, Freedom one oh four point seven
in Washington, DC and five fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Take us along on the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
News and that's why more Manuller watching the cartoon Networks
Lungebobbery runs right now.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I'm a big ad Democrat. This is like a goldstong.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
As you should have a government that just minds its
own damn business.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And these people alone, that'd be good advice if they'd listen.
All right, So what do you make of the Democrat
Party and what's the way forward? Do they begin to
admit things that the American people support the president for
doing or do they keep obstructing at any cost. Well,
even Bernie Sanders gives the president old credit because you know,
(18:01):
the left has always been about law and order in
securing the border.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Is there anything that you think Trump has done?
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, I mean I think cracking down on fentanyl, making
sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration
is appropriate. Now I have to think we need comprehensive
immigration reform.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
This just didn't. This just did hell froze over. There's
Bernie admitting nobody thinks it's okay to break into the country.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh I thought that that would no.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, But this is this is what's going to be
interesting because we always say, you know, how long can
the Democrats play this ridiculous game?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
You got you gotta admit reality, you're so out of
touch with the American people. But then when they do,
is it really believable?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
But I don't think that it's appropriate for people to
be coming across the border illegally. So we've got to
work now on comprehensive immigration reform. The idea that Trump has,
I don't know what his latest umps us he wants
to depoint twenty million people who are in this country
who are undocumented. Well, you do that, you destroy the
entire company country. Because I got news for your Trump's
(19:09):
billion half friends. I'm not going to pick the cps
in California that feed us. They're not gonna wink.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's kind of half and half out, isn't he this
was a great moment because the great Noster del Jona
spoke last week. Notice I take no credit for it,
but unconscious with the music playing, he said, AOC is
the heir apparent to Bernie Sanders. Now, to believe it
or not, that goof you're listening to. He would have
(19:34):
gotten the nomination in twenty sixteen, he'd have got it
again in twenty twenty, but the party got involved to
rig it for Hillary and Joe. This time around. He's
too old. So who's his their apparent? I say it's AOC.
He appears with her. They're targeting Schumer with AOC in
New York for the Senate. I presume to pull a
(19:57):
Barack Obama in sixty days later running for president. God
forbid that. John Carl ask him that question on ABC
this week, because here was the response.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
Cassio Cortez's criticism of Schumer has been harsher, fueling speculation
she'll challenge him in the Democratic primary when he is
up for reelection in three years. For his part, Sanders
doesn't want to talk about whether or not Schumer should
remain the Democratic leader in the Senate, and he got
irritated when I asked him about the possibility of AOC
running abruptly getting up to end the interview. Okay, you're
(20:30):
out there with AOC today, do you see her as
a future of the progression?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I have one of the untold stories of what's going
on in cartin American politics is that in the House
of Representatives, you have dozens and dozens of strong, smart, discipline,
hard working young people in the Progressive Caucus. And you know,
way back when.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
By the way, when he says progressive caucus, not to interrupt,
but he means the socialist democrat, the squad stream left.
He doesn't mean progressives as in the Obama's pretty stream
for me too. But you know, your typical establishment Democrats
they're gone. They don't even exist. Progressive Democrats they do exist,
(21:15):
but they're losing the tug of war with the extreme
far left. So he's only bragging about his what he
calls progressive justice democrats.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Listen, when I first came to the Congress. In the House,
I helped fulm the Progressive Court because we had five
people in downtown. Now they got close to Quandred, so
you got a whole lot of good people. Alexandra, who
is extraordinary. I am so impressed by her work in
Congress and her justice. She inspires young people of over
the country. You're joining the Senate right now. We have,
(21:44):
as I said, just a whole lot of people in
the Congress. Okay, Jonathan, thanks, way, I got one that's important. Well,
I asked you, Okay, you know you want to do
nonsense to nonsense.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, I don't want to talk about inside about myself.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I got thirty two thousand people. I was just asking
me about AOC because he was fine. But I don't
want to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What was the last question?
Speaker 11 (22:02):
I was gonna ask you one more question about you?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, that's all. I was literally lost.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Why what is your question? Well, I'm going to see that.
I mean, I want to ask you about your future.
This is the biggest crowd. You said you usually ran
for president twice. This is the biggest crowd you've ever seen.
Are we going to see you run again? Or what's
your what's your family?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Right now? I am very proud that the people in
the state of Romont sent me back to the Senate
with sixty three percent of.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
The right now Vermont's Center.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's what I do, and I'm very happy.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Okay, so bottom line of this Sound of the Day,
it was a very irrational in other words, he's with
his friends, he's with his family. I mean, this is
John Carl, this is ABC this week. You just had
a massive crowd. You choose to bring AOC up stand
there holding our arms up like you just want a
boxing match together. I don't know if that was a
(22:58):
glimpse at a future ticket. I don't know what John
Carl said that upset him so much that he gets
up and then just when you're thinking, well, maybe he
didn't have any more time than he makes go, I'm
not going to do nonsense. I'm not going to do
inside the Beltway stuff with John Carl revealing too soon
what was obvious for all of us to see. Anyway,
I just thought it was a very bizarre but very
(23:19):
telling exchange. The rooster could grow three times, Noster Dell
Jornal's quatrain could come true. I'm telling you the plan
is for them maybe even to push him and AOC
together because they're battling against their party. And just as
(23:39):
the Democrat Party blocked him in twenty sixteen, again in
twenty twenty he got short with John Carl because he
doesn't want the Democrat Party having any leeway, any early
timing to block him in AOC, which is the plan,
and block him they will or try again for a
third time with probably Romney Manuel. And you know, ever
(24:06):
since that one caller said, don't bring up his name?
What are you in love with him? I can't remember
the name of the Maryland governor Michem bro No Ben
Sipear is Wesmore. Thank you. I would have never even
been able to imagine why the President of the United
States would be in Philadelphia for a wrestling national championship.
(24:27):
But that's why he's president and I'm a nobody on
the radio, because not only was he there for a
magical moment, he was the spotlight of the magical moment.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
This god, this biggest outside.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Okay, so that that's a miracle on the matt in
and of itself. Oklahoma State University's Wyatt Hendrickson defeats the
Olympic champion Gable Steveson, and it was so reminiscent of
when the Miracle on Ice took place. I mean, he's
(25:16):
just sitting there, stunned, he can't believe he lost, and
then everything's going crazy, and it's almost as if he's
taking in the moment, because you don't have that moment
unless you're great. But then the second lieutenant walks to
the middle of the mat, points at the President of
the United States, salutes the President. The President gives him
fist pump. I mean, that was just censory over little time.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Captain America, Captain America block.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
The fool he did it.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Hey shut up, everybody shut up.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Everybody shut up. What a miracle on the map. Now
we were all in March madness mode, and I found
it very interesting. I have time for one more, right, Yeah,
So Fox put together it's Sweet sixteen bracket of its own,
the Doge Bracket. Listen while it's going on.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
Okay, speaking of Doge, Senate DOGE Caucus Chair Joni Ernst
has launched the twenty twenty five Doge Madness Tournament of
Waste bracket.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
So what we did.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
We had every DOGE Caucus members submit their entry for
the Sweet sixteen. And believe me, we could have gone
on forever. Thousands and thousands of examples of waste.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
The Sweet sixteen has been whittled down to the elite
eight with the winners being picked on X By the way,
there is just no way I cannot There are some
real dooziest waste, including a forty five million spent on
de I scholarships in Burma, one point three million wasted
(27:02):
on health equity for trans youth of color, two billion
sent to the Taliban after the US withdrawal, and one
hundred and sixty eight thousand spent on an Anthony Founci exhibit.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Twenty two billion on housing and cars for illegals, and
then the billion sent to the Taliban. That's got to
be your national championship. But what a sweet sixteen bracket
of doge the inconvenient truth for the far left. Our
final sound of the day we didn't have time for.
(27:32):
It was just a Utah senator kind of defending the president.
I thought maybe our best story of the day had
to do with the favorability ratings of the Democrats, the
fact that they have lost that they are are forty
percent of black voters that have a positive favorable view
of the Republican Party. It's down to sixty percent for
(27:52):
a favorable view of the Democrat Party. They have lost
sixty percent of Hispanics and non Hispanics, even higher of
other minority groups with a positive view of the Republican Party,
not a below fifty percent for the Democrats. This is
going to be a real problem come midterm election. Tim
Walls's walk back of his Tesla joke basically, he's just
(28:14):
as smart Alec. He didn't say Alec and that we
can't take a joke. He probably realized that much of
his state employees are heavily invested in their pension fund
in Tesla, and it ended up being a pretty big blooper.
And then we had the Senator from Michigan Slotkin, who
(28:35):
she's really one of the few that's trying to take
this less activist against Trump role and more reasonable Democrat role.
But there just doesn't seem to be on the left
much traction for that, and there seems to be a
lot of traction for Bernie and AOC. Those are the
things we didn't quite get to. But that's your Sounds
of the Day for this Monday, March to twenty fourth,
(28:56):
Always revealing, often entertaining.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
This Your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
President Trump's Special envoy to the Middle East says negotiations
are making great progress towards the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Steve Winkoff told Fox News Sunday that a seasfire on
the Black Sea could be coming soon.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
I think that you're going to see in Saudi Arabia
on Monday some real progress, particularly as it affects a
Black Sea ceasefire on ships.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
He went on to say that from there a full
seasfire should be coming soon. Wingkoff insisted his main goal
is to end the conflict and stop the killing, going
on to criticize the Biden administration for its refusal to
negotiate with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I'm mark Neefield. Executive order states it, though the media
doesn't like to report it, but Education Secretary of Linda
McMahon reiterated the federal funding will continue for essential education programs.
Amid the push for the administration to shut down the
Department of Education, Tammy Trihillo has more.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Nick Man was questioned on the future of the department
to bring an interview with CNN State of Union, where
she defended President Trump's executive order to initiate the closure
of the department. The outward facing programs that are going
to be affecting students are there's not going to be
any defunding for those programs. McMahon said many of the
programs the Department funds will be transferred to other agencies
(30:16):
in an effort to make education funding more efficient. She
said this is part of the Trump administration's larger goal
of strengthening state control over education. I'm Tammy, Trheo.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Said, who's on two fronts. Former Utah Congresswoman Mia Love
is dead. Love was the first Black Republican woman elected
to Congress, died at her home Sunday after a battle
with brain cancer. Mia Love was just forty nine years old,
and legendary boxer George Foreman has passed. Jim Forbes takes
a look back at his life.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
His family announced he passed away peacefully on Friday at
the age of seventy six, surrounded by loved ones. Foreman
was a two time heavyweight champion and gold medal Olympian
who participated in two of the most infamous boxing matches
of all time, the Fight of the Century against Joe
Frasier in nineteen seventy one and the Rumble in the
(31:05):
Jungle against Muhammad Ali in nineteen seventy four. In their statement,
his family said, Foreman, quote lived a life marked by
unwavering faith, humidity, and purpose. No cause of death was provided,
and the family has asked for privacy at this time.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'm Jim Forbes, said my son Nicholas, Dad. Did you
know he named all his sons George? Yes? I did.
As a matter of fact, roy o'neils, here, are you
among the millions of Americans chasing credit card rewards because
Rory's got a little bit of advice for you. That's
not such a great idea, No, it's not.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
And bankreade out with a report this morning that says
about seventy two percent of Americans who have credit card
debt are still making more purchases to get those rewards. Duh,
I mean that's upside down. You know, these rewards are
worth one or two percent. The interest rate you're paying
is about twenty five percent. So when you figure that
(31:59):
the average household in America has sixty three hundred dollars
in credit card debt, that's about fifteen hundred bucks a
year just on interest.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So yeah, they're gonna.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
Give you a free night at the holiday inn, which
which maybe your only night of room and board for
the year if you keep that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
But you know, I mean, I guess if you listen,
if you've got a high credit rating and you can
qualify for you know, a really good cash back or
miles with an airline and you fly a lot, and
you fly for business a lot, some of these things
can make sense to charge it knowing you're going to
pay it off in full and get the miles. But
to make the mode of chasing one or two percent
(32:40):
when ninety eight percent of it is debt and you know,
and I think you're being kind on the twenty four
percent interest, it's probably higher no matter depending on whose
credit card it is. I mean, it just doesn't make it.
I mean, you don't need to be Dave Ramsey on this.
Speaker 13 (32:52):
One, right, But seventy two percent of Americans are doing it,
so clearly the message isn't getting out there, or people
are stuck, and you know, they're forced to put more
and more things on credit cards, which is a problem
in and of itself. So try to get those zero
percent balance transfers. Try to get out of this monthly
debt as best you can, because it is almost impossible
(33:14):
to dig yourself out of that hole.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
It doesn't matter. You know. There was an old I
learned this early on, believe it. I'm going to quote
personal power with I'm blank on his name now, Anthony Robbins.
He had a simple formula that was powerful made sense.
Passion equals focus equals action. Action sets in motion or direction,
arrives at a destination. If you get your focus on
(33:39):
these rewards, believe it or not, you'll start pursuing them.
And it takes a lot of debt to build them up.
So I mean it is the power of focus though, right,
I mean for those that go right to their Hey
we got sixty cash back?
Speaker 13 (33:51):
Yeah, but right, well, because that's what they want to
focus on, not the fact that it's sixty three hundred
in the red. So yeah, to your earlier point. If
you pay it off, these things can be great. There
are a hassle to track between your airline and your
hotel and your Amazon and your whatever costco.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
It's a hassle to track.
Speaker 13 (34:08):
But if you can, and if you pay it off
every month, it can be lucrative if you pay it
off every month.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
But most don't. All right, So, as you know, Rory,
I've been doing miles with Southwest Airlines, and I've got
a lot of miles, and I focused on that. I
built those miles up on purpose so I could come
fly and spend the weekend with you. And you've since
moved and you won't send me your new address, so exactly.
Speaker 13 (34:29):
Because I've been buying miles on Delta to get the
heck out of town.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
And just another example, Ay, you don't chase miles are
cash back.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Great reporting, Roy, We're all in this together. This is
