Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoyed the podcast and on
the klans for three days.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm awake as water. I can't even make up things.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Because we're in this together. This is your Morning show
with Michael o'deill charm.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
That, of course, is the great Leanne Morgan, a comedian,
a mom you know, raised her kids, didn't start her
comedic career until I will give her age. She's hilarious,
but she is absolutely hilarious. And if you haven't seen
the movie, you're cordially invited yet you need to. It's
I think, one of the best comedy's done in the
(00:56):
last twenty years. All right, thanks for starting us, Thanks
for starting me off with a laugh.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I just can't grind on you for a while. There's
so many lines in that.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Movie, don't you know, Like yesterday I was gonna take a.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You know, I was gonna put on the conclave.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Is that I just there's something about, you know, being
at the Vatican and voting on a new pope just puts.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Me to sleep.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And instead I was like, oh, hey, ill check out Reacher.
Oh what a great storyline. And Reacher and that's what's
his name, Michael Hall, Michael Patrick Hall, whatever, the one
that used to be on Saturday Night Live. He was
the little kid in the original Vacation Anthony Michael.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, he plays the father in Reacher. Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
He can really act and now that he's older, he's
got a really distinct look about it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I think he's a future leading.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Manage buff if you remember back in the day.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, he's just And then we were doing the because
Rory brought it up. How bad the accent is of
the lead de e. A girl her name is Sonia Cassidy. Uh,
she's terrific, but she does she drifts between a Boston
accent and a Brooklyn accent. Is kind of and then
we looked her up and she's from from England. I mean,
(02:10):
it's a struggle just you know, not have an English accent.
So she's but it really is a terrific story life.
You haven't seen Reacher, warning you'll binge. I think I
did nine episodes at an hour each. That's an embarrassing day.
I'm not gonna stand before God and answer for that.
You know here, I am the guy that ends everything.
I answer and every show with you know, seize the day,
(02:31):
Go make a difference in someone's life, Cherishers, And.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What do I do? I go on to reach your binge?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
And there's something about that big dumb lug being a
bad actor that makes it even better.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
But in the corniness of how they write that and
and film is beautiful, it's what makes it so great.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It's a Schortzeninger effect.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
You like when the when the one guy that's you know,
really a bad guy, it starts talking bad about his
son and then Reacher just looks at him and goes,
you're right.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
No one asked you and of reaching. When you saw
Tom Cruise's Reacher, you were.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Like, what I like? I like this Reacher better than
Tom Cruise. I do too.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I agree, all right, Sorry, I want to reach your
binge and I'm half asleep.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right, that's the honest truth.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But if you want to start a new binge, you know,
avoid a binge and give yourself a great comedy. Cordially invited.
Is it is terrific? Greese, Witherspoon, who else?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Isn't that? The Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell is spectacular. It's
a great cast, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Trump asking the Supreme Court to block any order forcing
the government to rehire. So there's this great resistance out there,
and the president's looking for the Supreme Court to defend him.
The editor in chief of the Atlantic is doubling down
on claims that he accidentally was texted the plans of
an airstrike on Houthy targets. For the Atlantic to be
getting this and trying to embarrass the president is very revealing.
(03:52):
If they did get this and inform the president to
reveal that there's some kind of a breach, that would
be another and he's obviously doing the first. It's one
of those stories where you know, it's part of my job,
of course, to a inform you and be give you
my insights. It's still too early, but I can tell
(04:12):
you is redd and I dig into this. I think
he really did get the texts. And it turns out
they're using a very unsecured app to communicate. So we
got all these billions and trillions of dollars being misspent
for transgendered in Zimbabwe, and we can't get a secured
app for military communicate. I think there's a teachable moment
(04:36):
and a correctable moment here too, but it's way too
early for me to do any kind of real analysis
till I know more. My gut tells me somebody using
an unsecured app typed in a name, maybe misspelled it.
It went to a guy at the Atlantic. I'm beginning
to think it's probably real. I know some of the
emails are suggesting other antics maybe at play here. And
(04:56):
the FBI has a new task force to invest investigate
the re attacks on Tesla, and of course Pambondi promting promising,
this is a different administration and you will be prosecuted
to the full letter of the law.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Our teachable moment today our founding fathers. You know, I
always say this, and it's a really kind of a lame,
elementary thing, but there is a hubris about Americans today
that would suggest they think they're smarter than our founding fathers,
especially on the left. And my observation and in a
(05:33):
mist and in a blink of an eye, I too
will shuffle off this earth, and I will tell you
I will leave and with more information than ever. We
have less reason and wisdom than ever. And I don't
think we're even as smart as our founding fathers. I mean,
the brilliance of this republic versus a mob rule democracy
(05:56):
has been one of the great awe journeys of my life. Now,
they would tell you if they were alive, they didn't
get there on their own. Sure, they studied every civilization
that succeeded for a while and ultimately failed and made
their decision. Their comments about what we've been living would
be laughable. They were not interested in democracy. They know
(06:19):
how democracy always ends, because it is in our human nature. Remember,
John Quincy Adams had one of the greatest lines I've
ever heard, Son of John Adams. He said, this republic
that our founding fathers gave us all together wrong for
an immorable, immoral people. It simply cannot be driven as
a vehicle. It cannot be driven by immoral people. You'll
(06:42):
drive it right off a cliff, or what your founding
fathers would have explained, You'll drive it right into dictatorship.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Or right into anarchy and chaos and mobreol.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Because the key to it is self governance, and the
key to self governance is right relation with God, your creator.
So I always find the Finding Fathers far smarter than
anyody thinks they're smarter than them. Today you have the House,
(07:15):
which is the people's House. That's where our populace is represented.
So all states are not equal. If one state has
twenty million people in another state has a million and
a half, and that's represented it in the number of
House of Representative members, a more popular state would have
than a less popular state. But all states are equal
(07:36):
because we're the United States of America, not the United
People of America. And that's why every state, no matter
it's population, has two senators. Then you have the administrative branch,
then you have the judicial branch. It's really brilliant what
they set up. And to cut to the chase, the
ultimate and again I think states should experiment and they
(08:00):
want to do something completely stupid, go for it and fail,
and let that be a lesson for the other states.
If you continue to do that kind of stupid thing
like California. We played earlier eclip in our Sounds of
the day, and it's Jane Fonda on with Bill Maher,
Bill Maher who we have to see how that dinner
went with Donald Trump Bill Maher before this is over.
(08:24):
I don't know if he's going to hang on to
his atheism. I certainly don't know if he's going to
hang on to his progressivism. He finds the Democrat Party
so crazy. He could even have a conversation with Jane
Fonda and how revealing it was that she had nothing
but talking points and narratives that didn't make any sense.
He's finding the left illogical, irrational and stupid and now
dangerous and crazy. So if Bill Maherr can shift to
(08:47):
the center and have more in common with like Elon Musk,
like Jfkjuni're like Dulsea Gabbard with Donald Trump than the
Democrat Party, I think the state of California can go
there too. But he was talk about the regularations, cost
of living, out of control environmentalism that is nothing but
boutique taxes and redistribution of wealth.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's become unlivable.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Now if a state wants to be that stupid and
New York does it, Illinois does it, California does it?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Really?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Well, you have an ultimate voting power, and that's your feet,
and that has been exercised now going on a decade
in California, Illinois, and New York. But people don't connect
the dots of what that is. It's not just an
(09:39):
embarrassment to a failed worldview, failed platform, failed policy views
in those states. It's reshaping future electoral college maps. People
not only vote at the ballot, they not only vote
with their wallets, they vote with their feet. And the
exodus from failed blue states to red ones has gone unnoticed,
(10:02):
but it's significant. Bad Democrat and leftist policies have affected
the voters so much they have moved. In twenty twenty one,
California's population declined for the first time since early earning statehood.
In eighteen fifty and twenty twenty two, it declined again,
and then in twenty twenty three, and while we're not
(10:24):
quite seeing the numbers completely for twenty four and twenty five,
you can only imagine this trend has continued. California is
not alone. Since COVID, the biggest blue states have dramatically
lagged behind the biggest Republican states and population growth between
twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, California, New York, and
Illinois each lost more than one hundred thousand residents, and
(10:44):
that's been going on for quite a while. The other
part of the story is where they're going. They're fleeing
blue and they're going to red. They're going to the
ultimate government control of Illinois, New York and California, to
the least government control of Florida and Texas. Florida and
Texas alone. And may I add I came to Nashville
(11:05):
now eighteen years ago. It is physically unrecognizable from where
I moved eighteen years ago. I don't think when I
got here we were right at a million and now we're.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Pushing to wasn't that far from it yet?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, and same roads I got here. It was a
cozy little town that don't tell anybody we got it,
made no state tax, great roads, great schools, low crime,
great livable neighborhoods, neighborhoods, affordable housing.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Sh and then we became Atlanta. The word got out.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
So the story is not just where they're leaving California,
New York and Illinois, but where they're going. And Florida
and Texas had both gained around two million residents. The
disparity of where they're leaving and where they're going. It's shocking.
And then, as we always say, COVID revealed more than
it did, but this it did, it sent even more packing.
(12:06):
Between July twenty twenty three and July twenty twenty four,
Florida and Texas gained more than a million residents combined. Illinois,
New York California barely broke four hundred thousand cumulutly. Now
the virus, of course, certainly propelled it. The policy failures
are the ultimate fault and the problem for the Democrats,
(12:31):
the electoral cost. This is why. And we've been trying
to feature this story now for going on a week,
and I'm almost out of time. This is the Liberal
Patriot site, and the story is the Blue state exodus
should scare Democrats because if you think things are bad
right now, standing against everything the American people are standing for,
(12:54):
no leader, no message, nothing but failed policy, the futures
even dimmer. Here's the estimates on American redistricting. California is
on track to lose three House seats and with it
three electoral votes in the twenty thirty electoral College map.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
New York could drop two seats.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Illinois all might lose a seat. Meanwhile,
Texas and Florida are projected to gain four seats, Idaho.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And Utah two.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
The electoral college map New York down to Illinois down one,
Michigan down one, Wisconsin down one, Oregon down one, California
down three. Meanwhile Arizona, New Mexico gained one, Florida gains four,
(13:57):
Texas gains four. There are something that even project Tennessee
to pick up a seat, it's going to transform the
electoral college map. We used to always say, if turnout
is the same, if energy is the same, and partisan
turnout is the same, and you can't because of the
growing independent portion of the electric But if all things
(14:18):
are the same, the Democrats will win every time because
there's more Democrats. Not so because there are more Democrats
leaving the Democrat Party and becoming independent. And because of this,
the exodus of these blue states to red states that
are going to change the makeup of the House of
Representatives and the electoral College map as we know it.
And by the end of the decade, And what if
(14:39):
I warned you a million times. By the end of
the decade, one or both parties will be gone. Maybe
the Republican Republican Party will be gone because it'll mostly
be the Maga trump Ism common sense American Party that
it's morphing into. But the Democrat Party gone because of
the war with themselves, and of course would all narrative
(15:00):
die of reality. Look at the electoral college map, and
that's our journey of discovery for Tuesday, March twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
You don't have a detached retina, and so the way
it manifests is is he just looks like there's a
hair in your eye kind of thing, and so I
just get used to it. And then that one really
was a hair, that one that's wiping away because sometimes
I reach for things that they're not there. All right,
twenty eight minutes after the hour to kste in the
capital of California, let's go to Roger.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Having been born and raised in California and having lived
here sixty five years, it's been always my opinion that
the federal government has to give power back to the
states so that states like California have to stand on
their own two feet. It seems like our one party
legislation here always puts us in a hole, but somehow
(15:55):
the federal government comes in and bails us out. And
that needs to stop in these states and then things
will get better.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
And I think it's going to And by the way,
the sneaky way they do it too is they wait
for a tragedy and that's where they get all their
money to recoup not just the tragedy that took place,
but the mistakes that they the.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Tragedy of their leadership.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I did get this from Bobby who wrote, I love
Reacher and yes we just binged the first season. Well
if you love the first season, wait do you get
the season three.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
This is David Peterson in Columbia, Tennessee, and.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
My morning show is your Morning Show with the Michael
del Jarna.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard live weekday
mornings five to eight am, six to nine am Eastern
and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We'd love to join you on the drive to work live,
but we're glad you're here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Let's start if we can we.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Are the Kings of Ohio Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Hey Michael, we had a great host here on five
seventy WKBN, Youngstown, Ohio. He was on the radio here since.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Like the eighties.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
He retired a couple months ago. Can you give him
a shout out? Wish him a happy retirement?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Happy retirement.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
He never said the name though, and I don't know
what his name was, whatever it is, obviously he served
that community very well for decades. Yes, happy retirement and
I'll see you in about eight years. I did get
this from Tulsa and Jerry. Apparently the Great raft Race
is back. They built a new dam, although a bridge
over very little water, not troubled water, still fits enough
(17:47):
water in the river in also Oklahoma, the Arkansas River
to have the Great raft Race for many years. Kareng
hosted that it was a cultural iconic event. Appreciate that
update emails to Michael d atiheartmedia dot com and then
that talkback button on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Is the postal service the.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Next agency to feel the cuts? And should it be
privatized or a public private boy?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That is really the bud buzzword, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
National Correspondent roy O'Neil is joining us the future of
the post office, something I have no use for and
haven't for decades. It's right up there with the landline
in my home that's now gone. What do you make
of all this rory? Obviously some cuts are on the horizon, right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, some shake up is underway.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
The US Postmaster General Lewis de Joy, who was appointed
by President Trump during his first term, resigned yesterday.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
By the way, how much is this stamp these days?
No clue.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I haven't used one, and I'm dead. I'm not being mean.
My grandfather on my mother's side was a postal delivery man,
and he is the hero of my life. He died
when I was very young. I never have anything negative
to say about the postal service. I just I don't
go to my mailbox because there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I do.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Everything paid for free auto pay. I just if something's
in my mailbox, I know it's of no use. If
something's being delivered, it's at my door. And I don't
ever go to the post office to mail anything. So
I really don't know. I couldn't tell you, all right.
I meanwhile, adventure a guess. I'm guessing it to it
by now, what it's gotta be like seventy cents, eighty cents,
(19:20):
seventy three cents for oh, that's the same it was
fifty five cents five years ago.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
But this push to privatize things, what do you think
you're going to get for seventy three cents? I think
it's one question if you walk into the front door
at UPS or FedEx. But look, the Postal Service and
those mail carriers also go to all the addresses, you know.
That's the nice thing about these private carriers is that
they get to pick and choose the neighborhoods they serve,
(19:48):
whereas the post Office goes to all of them. So
that's one of the reasons that this is a much
harder problem to solve. Also, the fact that the post
Office isn't allowed to sort of stand up on its own.
They Congress said, oh no, you got to be open
on Saturdays, or oh no, I need a post office
in my district, so that one's got to stay open.
You know, the post Office can't just run itself the
way it would like to. It's got a lot of
(20:11):
these rules to abide by, and that's a big part
of the reason it lost nine point five billion.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Guy, another dreaded B word. Okay, sorry, when you dig
into these numbers, I mean there's been some adjustment to
hours and days in certain areas that hasn't really made
a meaningful impact. I mean, at what point does the
model change? I mean, Andrew and I were sitting the
other day and we were talking about, you know, life
was so simple. She'd get off at the law firm,
I'd get off the air. We meet a blockbuster. I
(20:40):
knew how to work the return rack. You know, you
got a great video. You went stopped by relays and
had some Vietnamese dinner and then went home and watched
a Blockbuster movie. But there's no business model for a
blockbuster today. I mean, you know, at some point you
got to address the business model.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
Right Well, yeah, you know, Blockbuster though, isn't in the constitution.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
The post office is.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
So yeah, but you do have to to your point,
you do have to recreate it or imagine what it's
going to look like ten twenty thirty years from now,
and what gen Zer knows about the post office, and
those are some of the bigger issues out there. Of course,
the post office comes up a lot at election time,
but We're also not using it to send Christmas cards
like we used to. We don't file our taxes by
(21:26):
rushing to the post office on April fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Like we used to.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
So a lot of how we use the post office
has certainly changed.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, you're such a smart guy. I mean, we could
do a quick brainstorm right now. What are all the
things that led to the postal services demise? Well, emails,
text messaging, competition in the private sector, mail we don't have. Yeah, Amazon,
everything comes to our door now stre directly from them.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I mean that's more of a brick and mortar effect.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
But I mean just kind of everything, right, I mean,
sometimes it's just all of the above. It needs to
stop being such a political thing all or nothing, and
needs to kind of be It needs to definitely be reinvented,
I think in some way, or maybe it goes the
way of some of these other things that simply don't
exist anymore.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
It's got six hundred and thirty five thousand employees, don't
think about that, and the most office in all those
congressional districts.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
It's not gonna see its being political anytime soon. You
hit the nail right on the head though, and look,
we're in an industry radio. I know you need to run,
but we're in an industry radio that right now has
some real challenges to overcome.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Because I got news for you.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I don't know there's anybody under thirty years old that are,
you know, on track to be future radio users the
way the past was younger people.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Or really hey by the way, or TV by the way,
or TV no musty TV Thursday nights anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
So, yeah, the whole media landscape is changing. But I
mean in the post office. I mean my kids, I
don't think the post office is any more on their
radar than when they get in the car radio is.
And that that's an even so. If you think today's bad,
the futures eat less, bright broy O'Neil. Great re story
on the post office. All right, we'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Time I for your top five stories the day. No more,
oh no.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
President Trump is announcing a major US investment by a Hyundai.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
The South Korean automaker is going to invest twenty billion dollars,
which includes a five billion dollars steel plant in Louisiana.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
In particular, Hyundai We'll be building a brand new steel
plant in Louisiana which will produce more than two point
seven million metric tons of steal a year, creating more
than fourteen hundred jobs for American steel workers.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Trump said this is proof that his tariffs are working.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
The President said the company will also increase auto manufacturing
in Georgia as part of the deal. The chairman of
Hyundai and Louisiana Governor Jeff land rejoined Trump for the announcement.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Meanwhile, on the Tesla flunt, the FBI is warning Tesla
owners about this week's Global Day of Action protests because
they'll be targeting Elon and the car company.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
Activists have been vandalizing vehicles and showrooms, which has Republicans
demanding accountability.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Maybe that will stop this once they see the full
weight of prosecution come down on them.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Senator John cornyin of Texas says this is just the
latest sign of what he called Trump derangement syndrome. The
President task Mosque with leading an effort to root out
waste and inefficiency in the federal government that's led to
cutbacks at several agencies, sparking a backlash I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
This is more than derangement syndrome, as I described the
death of journalism for the past nine years for my
local listeners. But we're really describing here as the death
of the Democrat Party unless they awaken very soon. Police
in New Mexico say they have now got four people
in custody and arrested, three of which are teenagers, in
connection with Friday's deadly mass shooting at a park in
(25:01):
Las Crusis.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Lisa Carton has details.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
Three people were killed and fifteen others wounded when gunfire
erupted at what authorities called an unsanctioned car show.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
That altercation escalated to gun firements being both groups. Several
other people were also andrew in the crossfire.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
Police Chief Jeremy Story said two nineteen year old men
and a sixteen year old boy were killed. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Attention men who avoid prostate cancer screening.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's a blood test, now, there's nothing to avoid.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Especially those of you over fifty or with the family
history of prostate cancer. You face a forty five percent
higher risk of dying from this disease. Tammy Trihea has more.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
That's what an analysis of data from seven European countries
is showing PSA screening and digital rectal exams can identify
prostate cancer in the earliest stages, when it's most treatable.
Researchers say getting tested in lower man's risk of death
by twenty percent. The American Cancer Society says prostate cancer
killed thirty five thousand men in the US last year,
(25:58):
making it the second leading cause of cancer deaths and
men after lung cancer.

Birthdays Today. Favorite Elton John song anybody care to throw
one out?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Your song is a lot of people's elderberry wine. I
have a strange one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
I love harmony, which is one that people never say.
The old Elton John and I love the one. I
think that's his masterpiece. From the nineties. But the guy
I did it in the seventies, the eighties, the nineties,
some think he's still doing it today. Sir Elton John
seventy eight years old. Today, Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica.

made us all very proud. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born. And thanks for waking
(28:30):
up with your morning show.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
All right.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
We had a bunch of emails, and I'm trying to
just kind of narrow it down to a couple of
really good ones if we can get them in. One
comes from R. Johnson, Michael. These text messages have to
be scammers. There are certain ways that texts get sent
to those in charge concerning the DoD in Ohio. We
(28:56):
have been getting scamming texts about owing money to the
Turnpike Commission. Kathy, I get it, and I know about
the scams, but I'm telling you there is something to
this story, and I think when it's all said now,
first of all, doesn't change what the Atlantic did with it.
They're trying to embarrass the administration. If it got an
(29:17):
inadvertent text about targets of who the airstrikes, they could
have just gone to the administration is that you got
a problem and let them fix it. They're choosing to
try to publicly embarrass them. But the more we learn
about this and the site they're using to disseminate these
text messages, it could have been a typo accidentally went
to somebody. It could be somebody getting it and sending it.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
It's just too early to analyze. James writes, I love
the work of Doge. My only issue is the numbers
kind of become funny money. Five hundred million, this five
billion that to make an impact for normal Americans, I
think they need to start equating the dollars to federal
income tax paid by cities and states across the US.
(30:04):
Doose canceled two frivolous contracts worth three hundred and fifty
million dollars. That's equal to all the federal tax paid
by all workers in Cleveland, Akron, for example, And I think,
you know, I do think it could be effective.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I mean, it just is what it is.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
The biggest part of the story is that the American
people are horrified by what they're finding and how long
these actions of fraud have been gotten away with or
this kind of misspending, overspending or money laundering has taken place.
As the Democrats of course rail on musk, rail on
charging stations and attack teslas. I mean, that's the part
(30:45):
that is really backfiring. But the American people are behind this.
We're finally getting transparency, We're finally getting waste, fraud and
abuse being addressed. Could they maybe put it in ways
that are more meaningful for people? Well, that's that's massaging
the actual way the information is presented. But the key
(31:05):
thing is finding it and getting rid of it forever
and moving.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
On, all right.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
The Prime Minister of Greenland is criticizing this week's trip
to the country by the Trump administration officials. White House
correspondent John Decker, who spent the day with the President
in the Oval Office the cabinet meeting.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean, I get it. You live a better life
than me. Even got a shout out from the president.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Hey, great question, but let's start with this Greenland issue.
Obviously they don't like this messaging. Is this process or
does this administration really have its eyes on Greenland?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't hear John.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
I think we're having some issues with John's connection this morning.
So not sure what's going on. He's there to be
in Trump's bunker. Well, he could be, he's there, he
just we cannot hear John Decker.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Well, I think John would tell you that. We don't
know right now if this is more art of the
deal with the president. But clearly the Prime Minister of
Greenland did not appreciate the tone of the Trump administration
officials on that trip. But it could be processed, could
be destination. It's too early to tell. But one thing
(32:15):
the President makes crystal clear is he's always got a
method to his madness.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, we had to move on dot Org.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Sorry, and that's why we always give Rory the final story.
He never has such no. But I mean, I got
I said a text. I thought i'd get a response.
I said, you know you, it's really nice to have
a president that actually is at work and that you
can cover. He didn't respond to that, but he did
get several questions, including one on stagnation.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
You got Decker out.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Now that we're down to a minute, where are you
and the President's bunker?
Speaker 9 (32:46):
Now?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Is that why your phone isn't working? You only thought
you had him there? He is, I can hear now,
Good morning, John?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Where are you? And why is your phone not working?
I don't know, it's been working the whole morning.
Speaker 15 (33:03):
So for some reason, go on with you, Michael.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
No, I had you in the President's bunker underground, I
mean you were everywhere else with them yesterday. We're down
to a minute and a half. I kind of answered
in the way I think you would have answered, But
I'll let you answer. The Prime Prime Minister of Greenland
obviously didn't take well to the Trump administration officials messaging
is this mora art of the deal or is there
something up? And of course if they've got eyes on Greenland,
(33:29):
Greenland's not.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Gonna like that.
Speaker 15 (33:32):
Yeah, you know, this is just one of those things
where the president has territorial ambitions.
Speaker 16 (33:37):
He'd love to have Greenland as a part.
Speaker 15 (33:39):
Of United States territory, but Greenland's not interested. Greenland's prime
minister has said it will not happen. The citizens of Greenland,
and a recent election have indicated they don't want to
be a part of the United States. Denmark's Prime minister,
Greenland's a territory of Denmark, has said Greenland is not
for sale. And I just don't see this happening in
(34:01):
the sense.
Speaker 16 (34:02):
That Denmark is a member of NATO, and I can't
think of one instance in which one NATO country acquired
through military means or otherwise the territory of another NATO country. So,
as you know, later this week there will be a
US delegation heading to Greenland led by Usha Vance jd
Vance's wife. Mike Waltz, the President's National Security advisor, will
(34:25):
be in that delegation. The presidents that they were invited
to Greenland by the government, and then the Prime Minister
of Greenland said yesterday not true.
Speaker 15 (34:35):
We did not invite them formally.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Where this headed, Where this is headed in the.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Next move might be more informing. All right, we'll talk
again tomorrow. John.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael hild Joano
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoyed the podcast and on
the klans for three days.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm awake as water. I can't even make up things.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Because we're in this together. This is your Morning show
with Michael o'deill charm.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
That, of course, is the great Leanne Morgan, a comedian,
a mom you know, raised her kids, didn't start her
comedic career until I will give her age. She's hilarious,
but she is absolutely hilarious. And if you haven't seen
the movie, you're cordially invited yet you need to. It's
I think, one of the best comedy's done in the
(00:56):
last twenty years. All right, thanks for starting us, Thanks
for starting me off with a laugh.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I just can't grind on you for a while. There's
so many lines in that.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Movie, don't you know, Like yesterday I was gonna take a.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You know, I was gonna put on the conclave.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Is that I just there's something about, you know, being
at the Vatican and voting on a new pope just puts.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Me to sleep.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And instead I was like, oh, hey, ill check out Reacher.
Oh what a great storyline. And Reacher and that's what's
his name, Michael Hall, Michael Patrick Hall, whatever, the one
that used to be on Saturday Night Live. He was
the little kid in the original Vacation Anthony Michael.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, he plays the father in Reacher. Let me tell
you something.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
He can really act and now that he's older, he's
got a really distinct look about it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I think he's a future leading.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Manage buff if you remember back in the day.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, he's just And then we were doing the because
Rory brought it up. How bad the accent is of
the lead de e. A girl her name is Sonia Cassidy. Uh,
she's terrific, but she does she drifts between a Boston
accent and a Brooklyn accent. Is kind of and then
we looked her up and she's from from England. I mean,
(02:10):
it's a struggle just you know, not have an English accent.
So she's but it really is a terrific story life.
You haven't seen Reacher, warning you'll binge. I think I
did nine episodes at an hour each. That's an embarrassing day.
I'm not gonna stand before God and answer for that.
You know here, I am the guy that ends everything.
I answer and every show with you know, seize the day,
(02:31):
Go make a difference in someone's life, Cherishers, And.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What do I do? I go on to reach your binge?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
And there's something about that big dumb lug being a
bad actor that makes it even better.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
But in the corniness of how they write that and
and film is beautiful, it's what makes it so great.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It's a Schortzeninger effect.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
You like when the when the one guy that's you know,
really a bad guy, it starts talking bad about his
son and then Reacher just looks at him and goes,
you're right.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
No one asked you and of reaching. When you saw
Tom Cruise's Reacher, you were.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Like, what I like? I like this Reacher better than
Tom Cruise. I do too.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I agree, all right, Sorry, I want to reach your
binge and I'm half asleep.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right, that's the honest truth.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But if you want to start a new binge, you know,
avoid a binge and give yourself a great comedy. Cordially invited.
Is it is terrific? Greese, Witherspoon, who else?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Isn't that? The Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell is spectacular. It's
a great cast, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Trump asking the Supreme Court to block any order forcing
the government to rehire. So there's this great resistance out there,
and the president's looking for the Supreme Court to defend him.
The editor in chief of the Atlantic is doubling down
on claims that he accidentally was texted the plans of
an airstrike on Houthy targets. For the Atlantic to be
getting this and trying to embarrass the president is very revealing.
(03:52):
If they did get this and inform the president to
reveal that there's some kind of a breach, that would
be another and he's obviously doing the first. It's one
of those stories where you know, it's part of my job,
of course, to a inform you and be give you
my insights. It's still too early, but I can tell
(04:12):
you is redd and I dig into this. I think
he really did get the texts. And it turns out
they're using a very unsecured app to communicate. So we
got all these billions and trillions of dollars being misspent
for transgendered in Zimbabwe, and we can't get a secured
app for military communicate. I think there's a teachable moment
(04:36):
and a correctable moment here too, but it's way too
early for me to do any kind of real analysis
till I know more. My gut tells me somebody using
an unsecured app typed in a name, maybe misspelled it.
It went to a guy at the Atlantic. I'm beginning
to think it's probably real. I know some of the
emails are suggesting other antics maybe at play here. And
(04:56):
the FBI has a new task force to invest investigate
the re attacks on Tesla, and of course Pambondi promting promising,
this is a different administration and you will be prosecuted
to the full letter of the law.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Our teachable moment today our founding fathers. You know, I
always say this, and it's a really kind of a lame,
elementary thing, but there is a hubris about Americans today
that would suggest they think they're smarter than our founding fathers,
especially on the left. And my observation and in a
(05:33):
mist and in a blink of an eye, I too
will shuffle off this earth, and I will tell you
I will leave and with more information than ever. We
have less reason and wisdom than ever. And I don't
think we're even as smart as our founding fathers. I mean,
the brilliance of this republic versus a mob rule democracy
(05:56):
has been one of the great awe journeys of my life. Now,
they would tell you if they were alive, they didn't
get there on their own. Sure, they studied every civilization
that succeeded for a while and ultimately failed and made
their decision. Their comments about what we've been living would
be laughable. They were not interested in democracy. They know
(06:19):
how democracy always ends, because it is in our human nature. Remember,
John Quincy Adams had one of the greatest lines I've
ever heard, Son of John Adams. He said, this republic
that our founding fathers gave us all together wrong for
an immorable, immoral people. It simply cannot be driven as
a vehicle. It cannot be driven by immoral people. You'll
(06:42):
drive it right off a cliff, or what your founding
fathers would have explained, You'll drive it right into dictatorship.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Or right into anarchy and chaos and mobreol.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Because the key to it is self governance, and the
key to self governance is right relation with God, your creator.
So I always find the Finding Fathers far smarter than
anyody thinks they're smarter than them. Today you have the House,
(07:15):
which is the people's House. That's where our populace is represented.
So all states are not equal. If one state has
twenty million people in another state has a million and
a half, and that's represented it in the number of
House of Representative members, a more popular state would have
than a less popular state. But all states are equal
(07:36):
because we're the United States of America, not the United
People of America. And that's why every state, no matter
it's population, has two senators. Then you have the administrative branch,
then you have the judicial branch. It's really brilliant what
they set up. And to cut to the chase, the
ultimate and again I think states should experiment and they
(08:00):
want to do something completely stupid, go for it and fail,
and let that be a lesson for the other states.
If you continue to do that kind of stupid thing
like California. We played earlier eclip in our Sounds of
the day, and it's Jane Fonda on with Bill Maher,
Bill Maher who we have to see how that dinner
went with Donald Trump Bill Maher before this is over.
(08:24):
I don't know if he's going to hang on to
his atheism. I certainly don't know if he's going to
hang on to his progressivism. He finds the Democrat Party
so crazy. He could even have a conversation with Jane
Fonda and how revealing it was that she had nothing
but talking points and narratives that didn't make any sense.
He's finding the left illogical, irrational and stupid and now
dangerous and crazy. So if Bill Maherr can shift to
(08:47):
the center and have more in common with like Elon Musk,
like Jfkjuni're like Dulsea Gabbard with Donald Trump than the
Democrat Party, I think the state of California can go
there too. But he was talk about the regularations, cost
of living, out of control environmentalism that is nothing but
boutique taxes and redistribution of wealth.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's become unlivable.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Now if a state wants to be that stupid and
New York does it, Illinois does it, California does it?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Really?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Well, you have an ultimate voting power, and that's your feet,
and that has been exercised now going on a decade
in California, Illinois, and New York. But people don't connect
the dots of what that is. It's not just an
(09:39):
embarrassment to a failed worldview, failed platform, failed policy views
in those states. It's reshaping future electoral college maps. People
not only vote at the ballot, they not only vote
with their wallets, they vote with their feet. And the
exodus from failed blue states to red ones has gone unnoticed,
(10:02):
but it's significant. Bad Democrat and leftist policies have affected
the voters so much they have moved. In twenty twenty one,
California's population declined for the first time since early earning statehood.
In eighteen fifty and twenty twenty two, it declined again,
and then in twenty twenty three, and while we're not
(10:24):
quite seeing the numbers completely for twenty four and twenty five,
you can only imagine this trend has continued. California is
not alone. Since COVID, the biggest blue states have dramatically
lagged behind the biggest Republican states and population growth between
twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, California, New York, and
Illinois each lost more than one hundred thousand residents, and
(10:44):
that's been going on for quite a while. The other
part of the story is where they're going. They're fleeing
blue and they're going to red. They're going to the
ultimate government control of Illinois, New York and California, to
the least government control of Florida and Texas. Florida and
Texas alone. And may I add I came to Nashville
(11:05):
now eighteen years ago. It is physically unrecognizable from where
I moved eighteen years ago. I don't think when I
got here we were right at a million and now we're.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Pushing to wasn't that far from it yet?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, and same roads I got here. It was a
cozy little town that don't tell anybody we got it,
made no state tax, great roads, great schools, low crime,
great livable neighborhoods, neighborhoods, affordable housing.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Sh and then we became Atlanta. The word got out.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
So the story is not just where they're leaving California,
New York and Illinois, but where they're going. And Florida
and Texas had both gained around two million residents. The
disparity of where they're leaving and where they're going. It's shocking.
And then, as we always say, COVID revealed more than
it did, but this it did, it sent even more packing.
(12:06):
Between July twenty twenty three and July twenty twenty four,
Florida and Texas gained more than a million residents combined. Illinois,
New York California barely broke four hundred thousand cumulutly. Now
the virus, of course, certainly propelled it. The policy failures
are the ultimate fault and the problem for the Democrats,
(12:31):
the electoral cost. This is why. And we've been trying
to feature this story now for going on a week,
and I'm almost out of time. This is the Liberal
Patriot site, and the story is the Blue state exodus
should scare Democrats because if you think things are bad
right now, standing against everything the American people are standing for,
(12:54):
no leader, no message, nothing but failed policy, the futures
even dimmer. Here's the estimates on American redistricting. California is
on track to lose three House seats and with it
three electoral votes in the twenty thirty electoral College map.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
New York could drop two seats.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Illinois all might lose a seat. Meanwhile,
Texas and Florida are projected to gain four seats, Idaho.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And Utah two.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
The electoral college map New York down to Illinois down one,
Michigan down one, Wisconsin down one, Oregon down one, California
down three. Meanwhile Arizona, New Mexico gained one, Florida gains four,
(13:57):
Texas gains four. There are something that even project Tennessee
to pick up a seat, it's going to transform the
electoral college map. We used to always say, if turnout
is the same, if energy is the same, and partisan
turnout is the same, and you can't because of the
growing independent portion of the electric But if all things
(14:18):
are the same, the Democrats will win every time because
there's more Democrats. Not so because there are more Democrats
leaving the Democrat Party and becoming independent. And because of this,
the exodus of these blue states to red states that
are going to change the makeup of the House of
Representatives and the electoral College map as we know it.
And by the end of the decade, And what if
(14:39):
I warned you a million times. By the end of
the decade, one or both parties will be gone. Maybe
the Republican Republican Party will be gone because it'll mostly
be the Maga trump Ism common sense American Party that
it's morphing into. But the Democrat Party gone because of
the war with themselves, and of course would all narrative
(15:00):
die of reality. Look at the electoral college map, and
that's our journey of discovery for Tuesday, March twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
You don't have a detached retina, and so the way
it manifests is is he just looks like there's a
hair in your eye kind of thing, and so I
just get used to it. And then that one really
was a hair, that one that's wiping away because sometimes
I reach for things that they're not there. All right,
twenty eight minutes after the hour to kste in the
capital of California, let's go to Roger.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Having been born and raised in California and having lived
here sixty five years, it's been always my opinion that
the federal government has to give power back to the
states so that states like California have to stand on
their own two feet. It seems like our one party
legislation here always puts us in a hole, but somehow
(15:55):
the federal government comes in and bails us out. And
that needs to stop in these states and then things
will get better.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
And I think it's going to And by the way,
the sneaky way they do it too is they wait
for a tragedy and that's where they get all their
money to recoup not just the tragedy that took place,
but the mistakes that they the.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Tragedy of their leadership.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I did get this from Bobby who wrote, I love
Reacher and yes we just binged the first season. Well
if you love the first season, wait do you get
the season three.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
This is David Peterson in Columbia, Tennessee, and.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
My morning show is your Morning Show with the Michael

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard live weekday
mornings five to eight am, six to nine am Eastern

We'd love to join you on the drive to work live,
but we're glad you're here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Let's start if we can we.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Are the Kings of Ohio Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Hey Michael, we had a great host here on five
seventy WKBN, Youngstown, Ohio. He was on the radio here since.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Like the eighties.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
He retired a couple months ago. Can you give him
a shout out? Wish him a happy retirement?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Happy retirement.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
He never said the name though, and I don't know
what his name was, whatever it is, obviously he served
that community very well for decades. Yes, happy retirement and
I'll see you in about eight years. I did get
this from Tulsa and Jerry. Apparently the Great raft Race
is back. They built a new dam, although a bridge
over very little water, not troubled water, still fits enough
(17:47):
water in the river in also Oklahoma, the Arkansas River
to have the Great raft Race for many years. Kareng
hosted that it was a cultural iconic event. Appreciate that
update emails to Michael d atiheartmedia dot com and then
that talkback button on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Is the postal service the.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Next agency to feel the cuts? And should it be
privatized or a public private boy?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That is really the bud buzzword, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
National Correspondent roy O'Neil is joining us the future of
the post office, something I have no use for and
haven't for decades. It's right up there with the landline
in my home that's now gone. What do you make
of all this rory? Obviously some cuts are on the horizon, right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, some shake up is underway.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
The US Postmaster General Lewis de Joy, who was appointed
by President Trump during his first term, resigned yesterday.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
By the way, how much is this stamp these days?
No clue.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I haven't used one, and I'm dead. I'm not being mean.
My grandfather on my mother's side was a postal delivery man,
and he is the hero of my life. He died
when I was very young. I never have anything negative
to say about the postal service. I just I don't
go to my mailbox because there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I do.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Everything paid for free auto pay. I just if something's
in my mailbox, I know it's of no use. If
something's being delivered, it's at my door. And I don't
ever go to the post office to mail anything. So
I really don't know. I couldn't tell you, all right.
I meanwhile, adventure a guess. I'm guessing it to it
by now, what it's gotta be like seventy cents, eighty cents,
(19:20):
seventy three cents for oh, that's the same it was
fifty five cents five years ago.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
But this push to privatize things, what do you think
you're going to get for seventy three cents? I think
it's one question if you walk into the front door
at UPS or FedEx. But look, the Postal Service and
those mail carriers also go to all the addresses, you know.
That's the nice thing about these private carriers is that
they get to pick and choose the neighborhoods they serve,
(19:48):
whereas the post Office goes to all of them. So
that's one of the reasons that this is a much
harder problem to solve. Also, the fact that the post
Office isn't allowed to sort of stand up on its own.
They Congress said, oh no, you got to be open
on Saturdays, or oh no, I need a post office
in my district, so that one's got to stay open.
You know, the post Office can't just run itself the
way it would like to. It's got a lot of
(20:11):
these rules to abide by, and that's a big part
of the reason it lost nine point five billion.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Guy, another dreaded B word. Okay, sorry, when you dig
into these numbers, I mean there's been some adjustment to
hours and days in certain areas that hasn't really made
a meaningful impact. I mean, at what point does the
model change? I mean, Andrew and I were sitting the
other day and we were talking about, you know, life
was so simple. She'd get off at the law firm,
I'd get off the air. We meet a blockbuster. I
(20:40):
knew how to work the return rack. You know, you
got a great video. You went stopped by relays and
had some Vietnamese dinner and then went home and watched
a Blockbuster movie. But there's no business model for a
blockbuster today. I mean, you know, at some point you
got to address the business model.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
Right Well, yeah, you know, Blockbuster though, isn't in the constitution.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
The post office is.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
So yeah, but you do have to to your point,
you do have to recreate it or imagine what it's
going to look like ten twenty thirty years from now,
and what gen Zer knows about the post office, and
those are some of the bigger issues out there. Of course,
the post office comes up a lot at election time,
but We're also not using it to send Christmas cards
like we used to. We don't file our taxes by
(21:26):
rushing to the post office on April fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Like we used to.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
So a lot of how we use the post office
has certainly changed.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, you're such a smart guy. I mean, we could
do a quick brainstorm right now. What are all the
things that led to the postal services demise? Well, emails,
text messaging, competition in the private sector, mail we don't have. Yeah, Amazon,
everything comes to our door now stre directly from them.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I mean that's more of a brick and mortar effect.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
But I mean just kind of everything, right, I mean,
sometimes it's just all of the above. It needs to
stop being such a political thing all or nothing, and
needs to kind of be It needs to definitely be reinvented,
I think in some way, or maybe it goes the
way of some of these other things that simply don't
exist anymore.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
It's got six hundred and thirty five thousand employees, don't
think about that, and the most office in all those
congressional districts.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
It's not gonna see its being political anytime soon. You
hit the nail right on the head though, and look,
we're in an industry radio. I know you need to run,
but we're in an industry radio that right now has
some real challenges to overcome.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Because I got news for you.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I don't know there's anybody under thirty years old that are,
you know, on track to be future radio users the
way the past was younger people.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Or really hey by the way, or TV by the way,
or TV no musty TV Thursday nights anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
So, yeah, the whole media landscape is changing. But I
mean in the post office. I mean my kids, I
don't think the post office is any more on their
radar than when they get in the car radio is.
And that that's an even so. If you think today's bad,
the futures eat less, bright broy O'Neil. Great re story
on the post office. All right, we'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Time I for your top five stories the day. No more,
oh no.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
President Trump is announcing a major US investment by a Hyundai.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
The South Korean automaker is going to invest twenty billion dollars,
which includes a five billion dollars steel plant in Louisiana.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
In particular, Hyundai We'll be building a brand new steel
plant in Louisiana which will produce more than two point
seven million metric tons of steal a year, creating more
than fourteen hundred jobs for American steel workers.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Trump said this is proof that his tariffs are working.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
The President said the company will also increase auto manufacturing
in Georgia as part of the deal. The chairman of
Hyundai and Louisiana Governor Jeff land rejoined Trump for the announcement.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Meanwhile, on the Tesla flunt, the FBI is warning Tesla
owners about this week's Global Day of Action protests because
they'll be targeting Elon and the car company.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
Activists have been vandalizing vehicles and showrooms, which has Republicans
demanding accountability.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Maybe that will stop this once they see the full
weight of prosecution come down on them.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Senator John cornyin of Texas says this is just the
latest sign of what he called Trump derangement syndrome. The
President task Mosque with leading an effort to root out
waste and inefficiency in the federal government that's led to
cutbacks at several agencies, sparking a backlash I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
This is more than derangement syndrome, as I described the
death of journalism for the past nine years for my
local listeners. But we're really describing here as the death
of the Democrat Party unless they awaken very soon. Police
in New Mexico say they have now got four people
in custody and arrested, three of which are teenagers, in
connection with Friday's deadly mass shooting at a park in
(25:01):
Las Crusis.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Lisa Carton has details.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
Three people were killed and fifteen others wounded when gunfire
erupted at what authorities called an unsanctioned car show.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
That altercation escalated to gun firements being both groups. Several
other people were also andrew in the crossfire.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
Police Chief Jeremy Story said two nineteen year old men
and a sixteen year old boy were killed. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Attention men who avoid prostate cancer screening.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's a blood test, now, there's nothing to avoid.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Especially those of you over fifty or with the family
history of prostate cancer. You face a forty five percent
higher risk of dying from this disease. Tammy Trihea has more.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
That's what an analysis of data from seven European countries
is showing PSA screening and digital rectal exams can identify
prostate cancer in the earliest stages, when it's most treatable.
Researchers say getting tested in lower man's risk of death
by twenty percent. The American Cancer Society says prostate cancer
killed thirty five thousand men in the US last year,
(25:58):
making it the second leading cause of cancer deaths and
men after lung cancer.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I'm Tammy Trho Kiss.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We'll return to the stage later this year and without
their makeup and they're all.

Birthdays Today. Favorite Elton John song anybody care to throw
one out?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Your song is a lot of people's elderberry wine. I
have a strange one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
I love harmony, which is one that people never say.
The old Elton John and I love the one. I
think that's his masterpiece. From the nineties. But the guy
I did it in the seventies, the eighties, the nineties,
some think he's still doing it today. Sir Elton John
seventy eight years old. Today, Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica.

on behalf of his father Stephen. We say, you have
made us all very proud. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born. And thanks for waking
(28:30):
up with your morning show.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
All right.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
We had a bunch of emails, and I'm trying to
just kind of narrow it down to a couple of
really good ones if we can get them in. One
comes from R. Johnson, Michael. These text messages have to
be scammers. There are certain ways that texts get sent
to those in charge concerning the DoD in Ohio. We
(28:56):
have been getting scamming texts about owing money to the
Turnpike Commission. Kathy, I get it, and I know about
the scams, but I'm telling you there is something to
this story, and I think when it's all said now,
first of all, doesn't change what the Atlantic did with it.
They're trying to embarrass the administration. If it got an
(29:17):
inadvertent text about targets of who the airstrikes, they could
have just gone to the administration is that you got
a problem and let them fix it. They're choosing to
try to publicly embarrass them. But the more we learn
about this and the site they're using to disseminate these
text messages, it could have been a typo accidentally went
to somebody. It could be somebody getting it and sending it.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
It's just too early to analyze. James writes, I love
the work of Doge. My only issue is the numbers
kind of become funny money. Five hundred million, this five
billion that to make an impact for normal Americans, I
think they need to start equating the dollars to federal
income tax paid by cities and states across the US.
(30:04):
Doose canceled two frivolous contracts worth three hundred and fifty
million dollars. That's equal to all the federal tax paid
by all workers in Cleveland, Akron, for example, And I think,
you know, I do think it could be effective.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I mean, it just is what it is.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
The biggest part of the story is that the American
people are horrified by what they're finding and how long
these actions of fraud have been gotten away with or
this kind of misspending, overspending or money laundering has taken place.
As the Democrats of course rail on musk, rail on
charging stations and attack teslas. I mean, that's the part
(30:45):
that is really backfiring. But the American people are behind this.
We're finally getting transparency, We're finally getting waste, fraud and
abuse being addressed. Could they maybe put it in ways
that are more meaningful for people? Well, that's that's massaging
the actual way the information is presented. But the key
(31:05):
thing is finding it and getting rid of it forever
and moving.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
On, all right.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
The Prime Minister of Greenland is criticizing this week's trip
to the country by the Trump administration officials. White House
correspondent John Decker, who spent the day with the President
in the Oval Office the cabinet meeting.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean, I get it. You live a better life
than me. Even got a shout out from the president.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Hey, great question, but let's start with this Greenland issue.
Obviously they don't like this messaging. Is this process or
does this administration really have its eyes on Greenland?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't hear John.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
I think we're having some issues with John's connection this morning.
So not sure what's going on. He's there to be
in Trump's bunker. Well, he could be, he's there, he
just we cannot hear John Decker.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Well, I think John would tell you that. We don't
know right now if this is more art of the
deal with the president. But clearly the Prime Minister of
Greenland did not appreciate the tone of the Trump administration
officials on that trip. But it could be processed, could
be destination. It's too early to tell. But one thing
(32:15):
the President makes crystal clear is he's always got a
method to his madness.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, we had to move on dot Org.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Sorry, and that's why we always give Rory the final story.
He never has such no. But I mean, I got
I said a text. I thought i'd get a response.
I said, you know you, it's really nice to have
a president that actually is at work and that you
can cover. He didn't respond to that, but he did
get several questions, including one on stagnation.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
You got Decker out.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Now that we're down to a minute, where are you
and the President's bunker?
Speaker 9 (32:46):
Now?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Is that why your phone isn't working? You only thought
you had him there? He is, I can hear now,
Good morning, John?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Where are you? And why is your phone not working?
I don't know, it's been working the whole morning.
Speaker 15 (33:03):
So for some reason, go on with you, Michael.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
No, I had you in the President's bunker underground, I
mean you were everywhere else with them yesterday. We're down
to a minute and a half. I kind of answered
in the way I think you would have answered, But
I'll let you answer. The Prime Prime Minister of Greenland
obviously didn't take well to the Trump administration officials messaging
is this mora art of the deal or is there
something up? And of course if they've got eyes on Greenland,
(33:29):
Greenland's not.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Gonna like that.
Speaker 15 (33:32):
Yeah, you know, this is just one of those things
where the president has territorial ambitions.
Speaker 16 (33:37):
He'd love to have Greenland as a part.
Speaker 15 (33:39):
Of United States territory, but Greenland's not interested. Greenland's prime
minister has said it will not happen. The citizens of Greenland,
and a recent election have indicated they don't want to
be a part of the United States. Denmark's Prime minister,
Greenland's a territory of Denmark, has said Greenland is not
for sale. And I just don't see this happening in
(34:01):
the sense.
Speaker 16 (34:02):
That Denmark is a member of NATO, and I can't
think of one instance in which one NATO country acquired
through military means or otherwise the territory of another NATO country. So,
as you know, later this week there will be a
US delegation heading to Greenland led by Usha Vance jd
Vance's wife. Mike Waltz, the President's National Security advisor, will
(34:25):
be in that delegation. The presidents that they were invited
to Greenland by the government, and then the Prime Minister
of Greenland said yesterday not true.
Speaker 15 (34:35):
We did not invite them formally.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Where this headed, Where this is headed in the.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Next move might be more informing. All right, we'll talk
again tomorrow. John.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
