Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, DC and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the podcast,
mister Gildon, this is your morning show with Michael o'dill chorman,
(00:25):
executives at NPR and PBS. I'll face some pretty tough
questions and allegations and political bias before Congress. Yesterday. President
Trump is imposing new tariffs on automobiles European to be exact.
And it's a twenty twenty five MLB season opening day. Somewhere,
a little Rory O'Neil is oiling his glove as he
(00:46):
prepares for another Red Sox season. Good morning, Rory, Michael,
Good morning. All right. We got two stories that you're covering. First,
the Dvance trip. I have in my headlines Vice President
Vance and his wife for changing their plans for this
week's trip to Greenland. What's the latest? Right? They were
supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, initially it was just going to be the Vice
President's wife making the trip with the kids. They do
some cultural exchanges, they would either attend a dog sledding event.
But then the Vice President said he wants to come
along too. I think Michael Walls is also joining them,
the National Security Advisor, And now the trip to Greenland
will only be to the US Space Force base that
(01:27):
is there in Greenland. The visit has not really been
welcomed by a lot of the officials, either from Greenland
or from Denmark, who are opposed to President Trump's goal
objective of having Greenland become part of the United States
of America.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Okay, so it's obviously strategic land for many reasons. It's
obvious that they're not interested in being a part of
the United States. And what's really obvious is this would
be the worst time for a little social tour. I mean,
the timing of this, I mean, you know, I don't
even know what they're gonna try to make of this.
The last visit with the US envoys went terrible, and
(02:06):
now you're following this up and it's gone from a
second lady visit to the Vice President's coming along to
and nobody wants them there. This is awkward, to say
the least. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And I'm trying to find the logic here, and that
we tend to give President Trump the doubt to say, oh,
what's that mind of the art of the deal? He's
got something that he's got in mind, and I don't
see the path.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But maybe there is something out there. Well, you're not alone.
Obviously I don't see it either. Let's talk about you know,
it's hard to not make this a political football. I
know nothing about signal. My presumption is it's similar to
how we use teams in our company. I think at
(02:49):
the end of the day, the President was right to say,
I don't anything about signal. You know, maybe it was
the products fault, maybe with somebody on our ends. It's
not gonna happen again. But you know, the strikes went off. Great,
that that's the end of the game. But someone is
trying to obviously make this a distraction or an embarrassment
for the administration. Do we know anything more today about
(03:09):
how an editor in chief of The Atlantic ended up
on this call? Yeah, but it's also I agree.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I think the president's position has probably been something that's
a much more effective strategy.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
But then you see that they keep on calling.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The editor a loser. That was one word that Mike
Wallace used to describe him. They try to undermine the
veracity of the story. Oh, it's not a it's not
a war plan. It was an attack plan, and that's
all the nuances. Stupid, right, right, let it go, move
on to stop taking de bait. I think the President
said it's kind of a witch hunt that going after him.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But I think Pete's doing a great job.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'm so glad our military men and women are saved
after their successful operation taking out the hoody rebels.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, but this is but you're you well, we're both
right to bring this up. This is a trend that
the because the President first handled it flawlessly in the
cabinet room after hag set maybe not so much. Waltz
really handled it badly, and then went on to handle
it bad at night with Laura Ingram, and we continue
to see the president handle it right and those under
them not. I mean, somebody pulled these people aside and
(04:14):
get them on the same page, you know. I mean,
it's a big nothing burger that they keep you know,
serving up, I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well plus, but it also feeds that whole It's all
it's a very inside the beltweigh story, right, And that's
the other part of this that's cheap and easy to
cover because the network's just have to have their usual
talking heads around the table. So yeah, it's so it's easy,
easy for the media to keep this one alive. But look,
this has been the Trump administration, not I don't know
(04:43):
if it's a policy, but they're planned their operation modus
operandi of flooding the zone with a lot of headlines.
We got the tariff news last night. I'm sure there's
you know, Greenland tomorrow. Who knows what is going to
be around today To push this story to the back burner.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I know you need to go, but the terroriffs is
another fascinating conver station we have to have because it's
starting to look like that was all designed just to
get the TikTok deal he wanted ultimately, or you could
make that that speculation anyway. So it's just there's this,
you're right, every day, a weave of news stories. All right,
we'll be back in the third hour, I believe, isn't
it today?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Third hour?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, third hour, and that'll be right after our baseball address.
He's going to take a look at YouTube is replacing
traditional media for older Americans. We'll talk more about that
with Rory next hour. I did mention this, but I'll
do it again. This is our well last year at
this time, were we in twelve twelve, fourteen markets? Yeah,
(05:39):
it's hard to believe this has all grown so fast.
The salt launch so well. Yeah, we started in Nashville,
then we added Oklahoma City and Tulsa, then I think Jackson, Mississippi, Tampa.
I don't know where we would have been opening day
last year, probably about thirteen markets. Prior to that, for
eighteen years or sixteen years, I was local just in Nashville.
(06:03):
And then prior to that, for eighteen years, I was
local in Tulsa. And it was about nineteen ninety five
when I met my wife, So this may have happened
about nineteen ninety six. And my wife is not you know,
she's she's a girly girl, but she's relatable, like you know,
she goes to Our first date was a baseball game,
(06:25):
so she liked football, followed football, that kind of thing.
Went to a boxing match with me and gets everything.
Baseball she didn't get, and so she kept you know,
she was appalled that, you know, she felt like they're athletes,
the professional athletes, and a lot of them are fat.
You couldn't figure that out. She thought the game was
just too slow, too boring, and she would just you know, look,
(06:50):
I can get this, I can get this, I can
get this. I don't get baseball. So one day I
decided to just put on paper and answer her question.
In a world of football, in a world of action
and immediate gratification, and you know, in fast paced, constant
motion stimulus, why would a guy still love baseball so much? So,
(07:15):
out of just trying to explain, even though I knew
then she was going to be my wife, she wasn't
yet why I love baseball so much? Birthed my baseball
is so much more than just a game address and
going on, I have to do the numbers on this,
but I think, going on twenty six years now, every
opening day of baseball, I do this address, and I
(07:37):
answer the question to everybody who thinks baseball is no
longer America's pastime and why would anybody follow it or care?
I answer all those questions. We're going to do that
coming up in the third hour at thirty four minutes
after the hour, so make sure you're listening for that. Also,
I don't know how to get it in because I
was going to do it right here. Our journey of
(07:58):
discovery is on swings read. We may have to hold
this till tomorrow because I do not want to rush it.
I know this is in presidential politics season, but remember
when it was and we all talked about swing states.
Do you know there was a time, not long ago
and not in a land that far far away where
the swing states were Ohio, Florida, and Texas. When George W.
(08:21):
Bush became president over Al Gore, those were the three
states we were all watching. Well, Texas, Florida, and Ohio
are red now and so did we just live well
the consistency of Pennsylvania, the additions of Wisconsin and Michigan
being in play, North Carolina, Virginia. This story takes a
(08:45):
look at what are the future swing states, and nowhere
in the story does it say this. But lost in
all of this is the former swing states used to
be solid blue and they're solid red. And these news
swing states were unthinkable blue states that are now swing
(09:06):
like New Jersey. It really is, you know, when I
described to you at some point in all of our discussions,
and look, I believe in bias. I'm biased. The Bible
makes me biased to a lot of issues. My biblical
worldview supersedes any of my thoughts or feelings. My feelings
(09:29):
are put in line with truth. But sometimes in describing
the Democrat Party, even when I'm just being objective, this
is a party in real trouble, the kind of trouble
that is in a cycle. It's for all time. In fact,
at some point you got to come to the conclusion.
Am I describing the death of the Democrat Party? Kind
(09:50):
of like I was describing the death of journalism? And
then it was real and burial and des composition had begun.
And when we look at these swing states, it's going
to give you an alarming picture of Wow. I could
(10:10):
see how they could hang on to some congressional districts.
But with everybody leaving blue states for failed policy to
go to red states for successful policies, you've now shifted
the population. So the red states are gaining electoral votes
because they're gaining districts and the Blues are losing and
(10:32):
the old swing states are now solid red. The new
swing states are kind of consistently at the presidential level
falling red. And will you hear the list of new
swing states. Yeah, I'll have you scratching your head saying,
I think when this is all said and done, we're
only going to have about three or four blue states.
And at that point is that not the death of
(10:55):
the Democrat Party, certainly for presidential races. It is so
kind of a review of a journey of discovery that
will try to do tomorrow. It's your Morning show with
Michael Del Johno. By the way, the podcast is anywhere
great podcasts are. We recommend the iHeart Radio app. You
can search in the podcast section Michael del Journo. Or
You're a morning show and it's kinna It's gonna, It's
(11:18):
gonna hey hey, hey, hey, oh my gosh, well it's nose.
You're still drawing up? Hey, wake up, look for it
shall be in the year of the twenty five. Not
even a judge would be able to stay the execution on. Hey,
you're proud of you. How about all go to Detroit?
(11:39):
It okay, Oh my gosh, what did I say? I
lost consciousness something about Judges. I'm just trying to pay
attention scarce me. You're just not very good at this.
You scare me when you do that. I didn't even
know because I was unconscious, but I think it had
something to do with in the year twenty five, not
even the judge can stay at the execution, meaning Aaron
(12:05):
Judge and the Yankees will stink this year. I just
texted my dad. I said, well, Dad, it's always special
Opening Day baseball. You'll see Dad's in the address, but
I said opening day of baseball, and for US Yankee fans,
the beginning of a long, mediocre season. I love you.
He responded, Oh, I love you too. They're predicting the
(12:28):
Red Sox to win the East. I still think that's
a little bit of a lack of respect for the O's.
I actually from my friends listening in Youngstown and Akron Cleveland.
I still call them the tribe. But I like the Guardians,
I really do. And I don't think there's any question
the Dodgers are going to win the National League. And
it's really all these games are just a stall to
(12:51):
get to when the Dodgers bought and paid for hoist
the trophy. But Opening day of baseball today. To have
our Opening Day Baseball address coming up next hour time
my stories of the day. Why do I keep running thousands?
While President Trump is putting into action new tariffs on automobiles.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order putting twenty five
percent tariffs on foreign made cars and trucks. He sent
the order aims to increase domestic manufacturing of cars and alloparts.
He added that buyers won't be able to deduct the
interest on their car loans if their vehicle was made
in America. Trump claimed the tariffs will bring between six
hundred billion and a trillion dollars into the US within
the first year.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
On Mark Netfield, more than nine million Americans could see
significant declines in their credit scores. Why you don't prioritize
your student loans, but you may think about that again.
Tammy Trehila reports why.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Elinquent student loans are soon going to start showing up
on credit reports for the first time since the COVID
nineteen pandemic, when borrowers were allowed to pause their payments.
A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York finds fifteen percent of loan holders are now behind
on payment. I'm dammaged for heo.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Chus checkses are you only have about four chances to
see Johnny Mathis, which, by the way, there's a lot
of the old singers. Frankie Valley comes to mind. They're
on stage in their nineties, but they're not really performing.
Johnny Mathis can still sing, and I'm telling you his
voice is as good as it was in his prime,
even at eighty nine years old. The problem, apparently, is
(14:27):
a combination of his age and memory issues have accelerated.
So he's going to wrap up his final four shows
and officially retire on May eighteenth in Inglewood, New Jersey.
All Right, Sweet sixteen starts tonight at six o'clock CBS.
BYU Bama. I like Bama, but watch out for BYU.
They could be the real Cinderella. Cinderella may only go
sixty and they can bomb the threes. Maryland and Florida
(14:50):
at six thirty nine on True TVTBS eight thirty nine,
CBS's second half with Arizona and Duke. Arizona is a
really good basketball team, Duke is scary good and the
last game of the night TBS, True TV. The Real
Cinderella at this moment, Arkansas and Texas Tech.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Hi, this is so and so from such and such,
and my morning show is your morning show with Michael
del journal.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Hi. I'm Michael del Jerno, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern. Non great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News
Talk six forty w HLO and Akron, Ohio and News
Radio five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. But we're glad
(15:44):
you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast. Let's go to Oklahoma City,
Kate t Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Hey, Michael, it's great to listen to you in the morning.
I know you're not the only one to mention Christi
Melman the dog story. But the thing of it is,
as a rancher, if one of those animals attacks another one,
you put it down. I had a German shepherd that
attacked one of my prize winning lamas, and.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You put them down.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Once it gets the taste of blood, it doesn't go away.
Just for all your listeners. That's why.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That ought to be. Like on the sight seeing tour
of Oklahoma City, you know when you're just driving and
you know there's empty fields and water towers, you know, right,
because you'd be driving, how they see all these lamas.
You'd be like, what's going on? There is a prize
winning lamas wearing ribbons. Okay, everybody knows uh that that's
(16:36):
a that's a tough part of owning a ranch. Everybody
gets the legitimacy of that. Most people can't relate to that.
So Christy Noman, her book is trying to make the
point I can make tough decisions. And if I can
kill my puppy in order to save my livestock, trust me,
I can make tough decisions as a president. Now, whether
or not that was a smart thing to put in
a book, I don't even think that's what did. Christi Noman,
(16:59):
by any stretch, just kind of become like a punchline
that sticks, but nobody loses sight of the fact that, yeah,
that I was telling Jeffrey off the air, I should
tell my story about when I wanted to be a rancher.
So I was friends with Steve Largent and Steve had
a big ranch, and Andrew and I would go with
him and his wife to the ranch, and of course
(17:20):
he had a family that lived there and did all
the hard work, and then he would just come in
his boots and play cowboy on the weekend. Well, I
didn't have Steve large at money to do that, but
I had such a good time. I thought, well, maybe
I'll have a ranch. So I had my realtor eyeing
property outside of Tulsa or you know, I could have
a home, some horses. I always loved, goats and pigs,
you know, have some things. So I did afternoons then,
(17:42):
and so I didn't get off the air till six o'clock.
And whatever time of the year it was, by six
point thirty when I got to this property was completely dark.
So here I am. I've always been raised in suburbs.
You know, I'm a city slicker, and now I'm going
to try to be a rancher. So I pull up.
You really gotta get the picture. So I'm driving in
(18:02):
my two seater red Mercedes out into the country because
I'm gonna be a rancher. I got my birkenstocks on.
I get out. It's pitch dark, I can't see anything,
and I'm thinking to myself, Oh, no sidewalks, no street lights. Wow,
this is different, right. So then then I'm walking, I
(18:23):
can't see anything. This is before phones. I mean, it's
not like, can't you caught your cell phone you had
a flashlight. So I'm in the dark, and as I'm
getting close to the porch, I'm feeling something on me
and i take a step back, and I'm telling you,
I saw a spider. Probably was like a large wolf spider.
(18:44):
I don't know what it was, but it was the
size in my hand. And I'm an old baseball player,
trust me, I got big mits and this spider was
as big as my face. I screamed like a little girl.
This rancher in Olmos State is probably cracking up. I mean,
I so respect what you do. I just don't have
the heart for I joke, and I am joking, by
the way. I could kill people, but I could never
(19:06):
kill an animal. I love animals. I love animals more
than people. So I mean, I know what Christy Nome
did was a tough, necessary decision. I could never do it.
Most Americans can't relate to it, and so it backfired
on her, But compare my life to you. I wanted
to play rancher and one spider. I screamed like a
little girl. I ran to my two seater Mercedes and
(19:26):
I peeled out, and I have never been to a
ranch Saities and said, gidea, you know, shoot my No,
I would have sold my lamas before I shot my
German shepherd. But you know, but yes, we all get that.
I didn't mean to go so long. I just I
don't think I've ever told my rancher story on the
air before. He'll just say I bought in South Tulsa.
(19:49):
It's always revealing its soundains of the day.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Girly men, don't they just make even tells?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right. So, while we're on the top of Christie Notman,
obviously probably one a good thing to put in her book.
Obviously became like a punchline. And I don't think that's
what kept her from being president. I don't think she
was ever on a trajectory to be president. She was
probably shooting for running mate but shot her dog instead.
There I did it again. THEI Oklahoma City Rancher's gonna
hate me, So she's kind of I can't believe Saturday
(20:31):
Night Live hasn't picked up on this and turned it
into a Barbie character, because if she goes on a
swat mission, she's in full swat apparel. If she's out
in the country, she's got her boots and jeans on.
You know, she's like, she's like a dress up Barbie
kind of thing. So she's going to l Salvador where
all the deported gang members and prisoners are. And I
(20:53):
thought to myself, is she going to be in prison?
Guarb No, No, she just wore a pair of casual pants,
a nice long sleep and her Homeland Security hat. And
she meant business when I tell you, I'm not even
gonna play the sound yet, just giving you the visual. So,
(21:13):
because every day we get visuals on TV, right, how
different are they from the previous administration? The previous administration
would be bus loads of illegals flown into a city
and getting off a bus or getting off a plane
and just infiltrating communities. That's what it used to look like,
and most would ignore, and some of us would be outraged.
Now you see them shackled. They never even let them
stand up straight. There's somebody on every neck holding them down.
(21:36):
It's bad. Enough, they're shackled, they got to try to
scoop in a catcher's position. It's like, you know, it's
an amazing deterrent message every time you show it on
the news. And I thought, well, that's as visually as
strict as it's going to get until yesterday. So Christy
Noolm is talking to reporters behind her in a giant
(21:59):
cuth and can't you imagine how that's smelling. Just a
sea of prisoners and tattoos, with shaved heads, white long
linen pants and no shirts. There's two guys in the
entire picture wearing a T shirt, these gang members, they
and they're all just standing like it's a photo op.
(22:24):
Watching her talk. I do like the fact that two
of them are wearing masks. I mean, I'm seeing about
thirty people, you know, the two of them are. Don't
get me. I sense the measles. So h it's a
pretty deterrence kind of message. And with them behind her,
she begins to speak her.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Sycat today and visiting this facility, And first of all,
I want to thank El Salvador and their president for
their partnership with the United States of America to bring
our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and have consequences
for the violence that they've perpetuated in our communities. I
also want to everybody to know if you come to
our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you
could face. First of all, do not.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Come to our country illegally. You will be removed and
you will be prosecuted.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
But know that this facility is one of the tools
in our toolkit that we will use if you commit
crimes against the American people.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Wow, now you know what that puppy was up against.
You eat my chickens. I go back to we waited
sixty four days for Joe Biden to ever have a
news conference, sixty four days. Donald Trump has had at
least two or three every day, complete transparency, non stop action.
(23:45):
But if we go back to Joe Biden, sixty four days,
he finally speaks, and when he does, I think he
was really talking to John Podesta and George Soros. I
may have been your puppet to steal the presidency in
a shadow campaign to save the democracy. But if you
haven't seen the movie Dave, I'm here now and I
refuse to leave. And the message was clearly sent when
(24:09):
he made Kamala Harris bordersar because he knew it was
a career ending position and any plans they had to
use him to shuffle into office, then shuffle him off
and hand it to the Hillary Clinton candidate. Kamala Harris,
he was sending the clear message I'm not going away.
(24:29):
In fact, here's a poison apple to your plan. And
then poor Kamala Harris tried to word salad her way
out by trying to explain to you that our immigration
problem is really their country of origins problem, and we
need to redistribute our wealth to them so that they
don't want to leave there and come here. And that
blew up in about forty eight hours, and finally she
(24:51):
had to go to Mexico and apologize to Mexico in
the world for what she said, and then told people
to stop coming. Of course, the words were meaningless when
the actions were. No one was stopping them at the border,
so they kept flooding. Donald Trump wins. They stop pouring
(25:12):
in because they know they'll pick consequences. And now in
a visual you see the consequences, a mass sell full
of gang members with Christy Noom not playing dress up
Barbie showing you the consequences behind her and telling her
(25:33):
don't come or you'll end up here or worse. That's
the difference between Kamala Harris and Christinome. That's the difference
between the sorrows Podesta administrative state or Joe Biden fake
presidency and Donald Trump's. One of the driving forces of
the election was right direction, wrong direction. Well, America clearly
(25:57):
felt we were heading in the wrong direction, and that
do well Joe Biden before her, and then Kamala Harris after.
But how's America feeling about our direction now? We always
love to feature Harry Enton. He's one of the lone
voices of reason throughout the campaign and since the election
of Donald Trump. From CNN listen.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I think sometimes it's important to do a little bit
of reality check and take a little.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Different spin at the numbers.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
I'm going to do that right here, because all we
talk about is how unpopular Donald Trump is, But in reality,
he's basically more popular than he was at any point
in term number one, and more popular than he was
when he won election back in November of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
What do we by the way, Before he gives you
these numbers, remember what I'm often reminding you remember all
those and we identified about sixteen Democrat members of Congress
who will face a midterm election in about a year
and a half. They won in twenty twenty four by
less than a tenth of a percent, three tenths at
the most in districts where Donald Trump carried the district
(26:55):
by anywhere from two to five percent. And I keep
saying to you, and by twenty twenty six, what do
you think Donald Trump's popularity is in those same districts?
And can somebody that won with a tenth of one
percent hang on to those seats? And the answer is
probably not if I'm right, and Donald Trump is far
(27:15):
more popular today than he was when he was elected
in twenty sixteen, let alone when he was elected four
months ago. And that's what Harry's going to point out,
and smart to point it out.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Listen, talk about that fabriull rating right now comes in
at minus four points. Compare that to where he was
when he won in November twenty twenty four, when he
was at minus seven points, or March of twenty seventeen,
when he was at minus ten points. So when you
compare Trump against himself, he's actually closer to the apex
than he is to the bottom of the trough. And
of course that's so important because Donald Trump, historically speaking
(27:51):
is how to his numbers underestimated. So I think it's
very important to compare him to himself to understand he's
actually more popular now than he.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Was when he won. He can't prove to you what
we talked about throughout the campaign, and these numbers aren't
even accurate. He's always underestimated and why for obvious reasons.
Donald Trump is the devil, He's the boogeyman, law fair,
crucify everything. And then somebody's going to call your phone
(28:21):
and you're going to say you're supporting Donald Trump. You're
hardly welcome to have such an opinion. So nobody really
knows if it's five points or ten points. But if
you go from minus ten to minus seven, and then
a couple of months later you're only at minus four,
you're probably really at plus four or.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Certainly where he was at this point back in his
first term. The bottom line is Trump is more towards
the ceiling than he is towards the floor.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
So when you do that, it makes my knees hurt.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
So when you look at this.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Compared to sort of historically, what does it tell you
about the percentage of folks that think the country itself,
with him at the helm, is on the right.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
This I think is rather important because again, if the
pulse have historically underestimated Donald Trump, what is a metric
that might get it understanding of how.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Popular he may actually be.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
So let's take a look at the percentage of the
country who say that we're on the right track. It's
actually a very high percentage when you compare it to
some historical numbers.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
According to Maris, forty five percent say that we're on
the right track. That's the second highest that Maris has
measured since.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Two thousand and nine. By the way, he's going to
get to this, but that's nearly double what the American
people felt when Joe Biden was president. So you see
forty five, you think it's low. It's actually very high.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
How about NBC News forty four percent, that's the highest
since two thousand and four. The bottom line is, the
percentage of Americans who say we're on the right track
is through the roof.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And if you were to compare it to.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
When presidents have historically been re elected. Of course, Trump
is not constitutionally eligible to run for re election, but
I think it sort of puts into perspective.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Forty two percent of the country says the country is
on the.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Right truck when the incumbent party is reelected. And also
keep in mind, back when Kamala Harris lost on the
Democrats or turned out of power, only about twenty seven
to twenty eight percent of the country said the country
is on the right Now.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Everybody thought the country was heading in the wrong direction.
That's why Joe couldn't win. That's why Kamala couldn't step
in and win. Now Donald Trump was elected for that reason,
and the things he's done as America feeling like they're
in the right direction. All right, let's do this final
quick sound. This is Donald Trump addressing this signal gait,
and I think he is an example of how this
(30:21):
should be handled. Unfortunately, Hegseeth and Waltz aren't handling it
as well as the President. But here's how the President
put it into perspective. Listen, maybe it's not very good.
I think we'd rather know about it now. There was
no harm done because the attack was unbelievably successful that night,
and it has been unbelievably successful every single night for
the last four or five nights. So how this guy
(30:45):
get on the call, We don't know. Maybe we'll never
find out, Maybe we will. Bottom line is the President
keeps downplaying it. It's a nothing burger. The targets were hit,
the attack was successful, and it is not going to
happen again. And I doubt they're ever going to use
six again. And that is your.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
This is CNN, this is the news, and that's why
more mate Miller watching the cartoon network Stunge Robbery runs
right now.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I'm big good Democrats. This is like a gold song.
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. President
Trump is suggesting that some judges who have ruled against
him be impeached. This is not sitting well with many,
including Republican members of Congress. John Decker is our White
House correspondent. He joins us with more Good morning, John.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Hey, good morning to you. Yeah, we've heard this before.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
We heard it just in the elast administration.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You remember when President Biden wanted to expand the size
of the Supreme Court. Presidents often do not like decisions
made by the third branch of government, the judiciary. And
that's the case with President Trump. And as you point out,
the idea of impeaching a federal judge, Michael.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Is so difficult. It's like impeaching a president. You need
a simple majority in the House. Then you need two
thirds of the Senate to vote to convict after that
impeachment trial, and with a fifty three forty seven advantage
that Republicans have, you're not going to get anywhere near
the sixty seven votes if indeed an impeachment happened for
(32:13):
a federal judge.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
But John, I don't think the goal is to actually
literally get them impeached, but play the US versus them game, right,
because it's usually over signature issues that are political footballs.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Well, I think that the president actually wants these federal
judges that have ruled against him removed.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Actually, you're with every day, I'm not. Yeah, I don't
think you're thinking about, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Playing games. He would love, in a perfect world for
these judges to be removed.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
But you know the answer if you do not like
the decision by.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
A federal district court judge is to.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
Appeal appeal to a circuit court appeal to an appellate
circuit court and hopefully.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
They'll they'll rule your way, and if not, then.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
You appeal all the way up to the US Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Well, there is an art of the deal that everybody
doesn't quite know what to do with, because you know,
they don't want to have egg on their face when
Donald trumps up getting his way. But you're right the
processes you appeal. There's a difference between a Supreme Court
ruling and then these federal judge rulings that can be appealed.
There's a legal process. I think everybody's senses started teaching
people that don't rule the way you want, that's a
(33:14):
step too far. The polls even bear that out, to
the tune of eighty percent. John Decker, a Supreme Court
bar attorney and White House correspondent, joins US Daily We
look forward tomorrow, John, We're all in this together. This
is your morning show with Michael nhild Joano
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, DC and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the podcast,
mister Gildon, this is your morning show with Michael o'dill chorman,
(00:25):
executives at NPR and PBS. I'll face some pretty tough
questions and allegations and political bias before Congress. Yesterday. President
Trump is imposing new tariffs on automobiles European to be exact.
And it's a twenty twenty five MLB season opening day. Somewhere,
a little Rory O'Neil is oiling his glove as he
(00:46):
prepares for another Red Sox season. Good morning, Rory, Michael,
Good morning. All right. We got two stories that you're covering. First,
the Dvance trip. I have in my headlines Vice President
Vance and his wife for changing their plans for this
week's trip to Greenland. What's the latest? Right? They were
supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, initially it was just going to be the Vice
President's wife making the trip with the kids. They do
some cultural exchanges, they would either attend a dog sledding event.
But then the Vice President said he wants to come
along too. I think Michael Walls is also joining them,
the National Security Advisor, And now the trip to Greenland
will only be to the US Space Force base that
(01:27):
is there in Greenland. The visit has not really been
welcomed by a lot of the officials, either from Greenland
or from Denmark, who are opposed to President Trump's goal
objective of having Greenland become part of the United States
of America.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Okay, so it's obviously strategic land for many reasons. It's
obvious that they're not interested in being a part of
the United States. And what's really obvious is this would
be the worst time for a little social tour. I mean,
the timing of this, I mean, you know, I don't
even know what they're gonna try to make of this.
The last visit with the US envoys went terrible, and
(02:06):
now you're following this up and it's gone from a
second lady visit to the Vice President's coming along to
and nobody wants them there. This is awkward, to say
the least. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And I'm trying to find the logic here, and that
we tend to give President Trump the doubt to say, oh,
what's that mind of the art of the deal? He's
got something that he's got in mind, and I don't
see the path.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But maybe there is something out there. Well, you're not alone.
Obviously I don't see it either. Let's talk about you know,
it's hard to not make this a political football. I
know nothing about signal. My presumption is it's similar to
how we use teams in our company. I think at
(02:49):
the end of the day, the President was right to say,
I don't anything about signal. You know, maybe it was
the products fault, maybe with somebody on our ends. It's
not gonna happen again. But you know, the strikes went off. Great,
that that's the end of the game. But someone is
trying to obviously make this a distraction or an embarrassment
for the administration. Do we know anything more today about
(03:09):
how an editor in chief of The Atlantic ended up
on this call? Yeah, but it's also I agree.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I think the president's position has probably been something that's
a much more effective strategy.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
But then you see that they keep on calling.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The editor a loser. That was one word that Mike
Wallace used to describe him. They try to undermine the
veracity of the story. Oh, it's not a it's not
a war plan. It was an attack plan, and that's
all the nuances. Stupid, right, right, let it go, move
on to stop taking de bait. I think the President
said it's kind of a witch hunt that going after him.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But I think Pete's doing a great job.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'm so glad our military men and women are saved
after their successful operation taking out the hoody rebels.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, but this is but you're you well, we're both
right to bring this up. This is a trend that
the because the President first handled it flawlessly in the
cabinet room after hag set maybe not so much. Waltz
really handled it badly, and then went on to handle
it bad at night with Laura Ingram, and we continue
to see the president handle it right and those under
them not. I mean, somebody pulled these people aside and
(04:14):
get them on the same page, you know. I mean,
it's a big nothing burger that they keep you know,
serving up, I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well plus, but it also feeds that whole It's all
it's a very inside the beltweigh story, right, And that's
the other part of this that's cheap and easy to
cover because the network's just have to have their usual
talking heads around the table. So yeah, it's so it's easy,
easy for the media to keep this one alive. But look,
this has been the Trump administration, not I don't know
(04:43):
if it's a policy, but they're planned their operation modus
operandi of flooding the zone with a lot of headlines.
We got the tariff news last night. I'm sure there's
you know, Greenland tomorrow. Who knows what is going to
be around today To push this story to the back burner.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I know you need to go, but the terroriffs is
another fascinating conver station we have to have because it's
starting to look like that was all designed just to
get the TikTok deal he wanted ultimately, or you could
make that that speculation anyway. So it's just there's this,
you're right, every day, a weave of news stories. All right,
we'll be back in the third hour, I believe, isn't
it today?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Third hour?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, third hour, and that'll be right after our baseball address.
He's going to take a look at YouTube is replacing
traditional media for older Americans. We'll talk more about that
with Rory next hour. I did mention this, but I'll
do it again. This is our well last year at
this time, were we in twelve twelve, fourteen markets? Yeah,
(05:39):
it's hard to believe this has all grown so fast.
The salt launch so well. Yeah, we started in Nashville,
then we added Oklahoma City and Tulsa, then I think Jackson, Mississippi, Tampa.
I don't know where we would have been opening day
last year, probably about thirteen markets. Prior to that, for
eighteen years or sixteen years, I was local just in Nashville.
(06:03):
And then prior to that, for eighteen years, I was
local in Tulsa. And it was about nineteen ninety five
when I met my wife, So this may have happened
about nineteen ninety six. And my wife is not you know,
she's she's a girly girl, but she's relatable, like you know,
she goes to Our first date was a baseball game,
(06:25):
so she liked football, followed football, that kind of thing.
Went to a boxing match with me and gets everything.
Baseball she didn't get, and so she kept you know,
she was appalled that, you know, she felt like they're athletes,
the professional athletes, and a lot of them are fat.
You couldn't figure that out. She thought the game was
just too slow, too boring, and she would just you know, look,
(06:50):
I can get this, I can get this, I can
get this. I don't get baseball. So one day I
decided to just put on paper and answer her question.
In a world of football, in a world of action
and immediate gratification, and you know, in fast paced, constant
motion stimulus, why would a guy still love baseball so much? So,
(07:15):
out of just trying to explain, even though I knew
then she was going to be my wife, she wasn't
yet why I love baseball so much? Birthed my baseball
is so much more than just a game address and
going on, I have to do the numbers on this,
but I think, going on twenty six years now, every
opening day of baseball, I do this address, and I
(07:37):
answer the question to everybody who thinks baseball is no
longer America's pastime and why would anybody follow it or care?
I answer all those questions. We're going to do that
coming up in the third hour at thirty four minutes
after the hour, so make sure you're listening for that. Also,
I don't know how to get it in because I
was going to do it right here. Our journey of
(07:58):
discovery is on swings read. We may have to hold
this till tomorrow because I do not want to rush it.
I know this is in presidential politics season, but remember
when it was and we all talked about swing states.
Do you know there was a time, not long ago
and not in a land that far far away where
the swing states were Ohio, Florida, and Texas. When George W.
(08:21):
Bush became president over Al Gore, those were the three
states we were all watching. Well, Texas, Florida, and Ohio
are red now and so did we just live well
the consistency of Pennsylvania, the additions of Wisconsin and Michigan
being in play, North Carolina, Virginia. This story takes a
(08:45):
look at what are the future swing states, and nowhere
in the story does it say this. But lost in
all of this is the former swing states used to
be solid blue and they're solid red. And these news
swing states were unthinkable blue states that are now swing
(09:06):
like New Jersey. It really is, you know, when I
described to you at some point in all of our discussions,
and look, I believe in bias. I'm biased. The Bible
makes me biased to a lot of issues. My biblical
worldview supersedes any of my thoughts or feelings. My feelings
(09:29):
are put in line with truth. But sometimes in describing
the Democrat Party, even when I'm just being objective, this
is a party in real trouble, the kind of trouble
that is in a cycle. It's for all time. In fact,
at some point you got to come to the conclusion.
Am I describing the death of the Democrat Party? Kind
(09:50):
of like I was describing the death of journalism? And
then it was real and burial and des composition had begun.
And when we look at these swing states, it's going
to give you an alarming picture of Wow. I could
(10:10):
see how they could hang on to some congressional districts.
But with everybody leaving blue states for failed policy to
go to red states for successful policies, you've now shifted
the population. So the red states are gaining electoral votes
because they're gaining districts and the Blues are losing and
(10:32):
the old swing states are now solid red. The new
swing states are kind of consistently at the presidential level
falling red. And will you hear the list of new
swing states. Yeah, I'll have you scratching your head saying,
I think when this is all said and done, we're
only going to have about three or four blue states.
And at that point is that not the death of
(10:55):
the Democrat Party, certainly for presidential races. It is so
kind of a review of a journey of discovery that
will try to do tomorrow. It's your Morning show with
Michael Del Johno. By the way, the podcast is anywhere
great podcasts are. We recommend the iHeart Radio app. You
can search in the podcast section Michael del Journo. Or
You're a morning show and it's kinna It's gonna, It's
(11:18):
gonna hey hey, hey, hey, oh my gosh, well it's nose.
You're still drawing up? Hey, wake up, look for it
shall be in the year of the twenty five. Not
even a judge would be able to stay the execution on. Hey,
you're proud of you. How about all go to Detroit?
(11:39):
It okay, Oh my gosh, what did I say? I
lost consciousness something about Judges. I'm just trying to pay
attention scarce me. You're just not very good at this.
You scare me when you do that. I didn't even
know because I was unconscious, but I think it had
something to do with in the year twenty five, not
even the judge can stay at the execution, meaning Aaron
(12:05):
Judge and the Yankees will stink this year. I just
texted my dad. I said, well, Dad, it's always special
Opening Day baseball. You'll see Dad's in the address, but
I said opening day of baseball, and for US Yankee fans,
the beginning of a long, mediocre season. I love you.
He responded, Oh, I love you too. They're predicting the
(12:28):
Red Sox to win the East. I still think that's
a little bit of a lack of respect for the O's.
I actually from my friends listening in Youngstown and Akron Cleveland.
I still call them the tribe. But I like the Guardians,
I really do. And I don't think there's any question
the Dodgers are going to win the National League. And
it's really all these games are just a stall to
(12:51):
get to when the Dodgers bought and paid for hoist
the trophy. But Opening day of baseball today. To have
our Opening Day Baseball address coming up next hour time
my stories of the day. Why do I keep running thousands?
While President Trump is putting into action new tariffs on automobiles.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order putting twenty five
percent tariffs on foreign made cars and trucks. He sent
the order aims to increase domestic manufacturing of cars and alloparts.
He added that buyers won't be able to deduct the
interest on their car loans if their vehicle was made
in America. Trump claimed the tariffs will bring between six
hundred billion and a trillion dollars into the US within
the first year.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
On Mark Netfield, more than nine million Americans could see
significant declines in their credit scores. Why you don't prioritize
your student loans, but you may think about that again.
Tammy Trehila reports why.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Elinquent student loans are soon going to start showing up
on credit reports for the first time since the COVID
nineteen pandemic, when borrowers were allowed to pause their payments.
A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York finds fifteen percent of loan holders are now behind
on payment. I'm dammaged for heo.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Chus checkses are you only have about four chances to
see Johnny Mathis, which, by the way, there's a lot
of the old singers. Frankie Valley comes to mind. They're
on stage in their nineties, but they're not really performing.
Johnny Mathis can still sing, and I'm telling you his
voice is as good as it was in his prime,
even at eighty nine years old. The problem, apparently, is
(14:27):
a combination of his age and memory issues have accelerated.
So he's going to wrap up his final four shows
and officially retire on May eighteenth in Inglewood, New Jersey.
All Right, Sweet sixteen starts tonight at six o'clock CBS.
BYU Bama. I like Bama, but watch out for BYU.
They could be the real Cinderella. Cinderella may only go
sixty and they can bomb the threes. Maryland and Florida
(14:50):
at six thirty nine on True TVTBS eight thirty nine,
CBS's second half with Arizona and Duke. Arizona is a
really good basketball team, Duke is scary good and the
last game of the night TBS, True TV. The Real
Cinderella at this moment, Arkansas and Texas Tech.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Hi, this is so and so from such and such,
and my morning show is your morning show with Michael
del journal.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Hi. I'm Michael del Jerno, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern. Non great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News
Talk six forty w HLO and Akron, Ohio and News
Radio five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. But we're glad
(15:44):
you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast. Let's go to Oklahoma City,
Kate t Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Hey, Michael, it's great to listen to you in the morning.
I know you're not the only one to mention Christi
Melman the dog story. But the thing of it is,
as a rancher, if one of those animals attacks another one,
you put it down. I had a German shepherd that
attacked one of my prize winning lamas, and.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You put them down.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Once it gets the taste of blood, it doesn't go away.
Just for all your listeners. That's why.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That ought to be. Like on the sight seeing tour
of Oklahoma City, you know when you're just driving and
you know there's empty fields and water towers, you know, right,
because you'd be driving, how they see all these lamas.
You'd be like, what's going on? There is a prize
winning lamas wearing ribbons. Okay, everybody knows uh that that's
(16:36):
a that's a tough part of owning a ranch. Everybody
gets the legitimacy of that. Most people can't relate to that.
So Christy Noman, her book is trying to make the
point I can make tough decisions. And if I can
kill my puppy in order to save my livestock, trust me,
I can make tough decisions as a president. Now, whether
or not that was a smart thing to put in
a book, I don't even think that's what did. Christi Noman,
(16:59):
by any stretch, just kind of become like a punchline
that sticks, but nobody loses sight of the fact that, yeah,
that I was telling Jeffrey off the air, I should
tell my story about when I wanted to be a rancher.
So I was friends with Steve Largent and Steve had
a big ranch, and Andrew and I would go with
him and his wife to the ranch, and of course
(17:20):
he had a family that lived there and did all
the hard work, and then he would just come in
his boots and play cowboy on the weekend. Well, I
didn't have Steve large at money to do that, but
I had such a good time. I thought, well, maybe
I'll have a ranch. So I had my realtor eyeing
property outside of Tulsa or you know, I could have
a home, some horses. I always loved, goats and pigs,
you know, have some things. So I did afternoons then,
(17:42):
and so I didn't get off the air till six o'clock.
And whatever time of the year it was, by six
point thirty when I got to this property was completely dark.
So here I am. I've always been raised in suburbs.
You know, I'm a city slicker, and now I'm going
to try to be a rancher. So I pull up.
You really gotta get the picture. So I'm driving in
(18:02):
my two seater red Mercedes out into the country because
I'm gonna be a rancher. I got my birkenstocks on.
I get out. It's pitch dark, I can't see anything,
and I'm thinking to myself, Oh, no sidewalks, no street lights. Wow,
this is different, right. So then then I'm walking, I
(18:23):
can't see anything. This is before phones. I mean, it's
not like, can't you caught your cell phone you had
a flashlight. So I'm in the dark, and as I'm
getting close to the porch, I'm feeling something on me
and i take a step back, and I'm telling you,
I saw a spider. Probably was like a large wolf spider.
(18:44):
I don't know what it was, but it was the
size in my hand. And I'm an old baseball player,
trust me, I got big mits and this spider was
as big as my face. I screamed like a little girl.
This rancher in Olmos State is probably cracking up. I mean,
I so respect what you do. I just don't have
the heart for I joke, and I am joking, by
the way. I could kill people, but I could never
(19:06):
kill an animal. I love animals. I love animals more
than people. So I mean, I know what Christy Nome
did was a tough, necessary decision. I could never do it.
Most Americans can't relate to it, and so it backfired
on her, But compare my life to you. I wanted
to play rancher and one spider. I screamed like a
little girl. I ran to my two seater Mercedes and
(19:26):
I peeled out, and I have never been to a
ranch Saities and said, gidea, you know, shoot my No,
I would have sold my lamas before I shot my
German shepherd. But you know, but yes, we all get that.
I didn't mean to go so long. I just I
don't think I've ever told my rancher story on the
air before. He'll just say I bought in South Tulsa.
(19:49):
It's always revealing its soundains of the day.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Girly men, don't they just make even tells?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right. So, while we're on the top of Christie Notman,
obviously probably one a good thing to put in her book.
Obviously became like a punchline. And I don't think that's
what kept her from being president. I don't think she
was ever on a trajectory to be president. She was
probably shooting for running mate but shot her dog instead.
There I did it again. THEI Oklahoma City Rancher's gonna
hate me, So she's kind of I can't believe Saturday
(20:31):
Night Live hasn't picked up on this and turned it
into a Barbie character, because if she goes on a
swat mission, she's in full swat apparel. If she's out
in the country, she's got her boots and jeans on.
You know, she's like, she's like a dress up Barbie
kind of thing. So she's going to l Salvador where
all the deported gang members and prisoners are. And I
(20:53):
thought to myself, is she going to be in prison?
Guarb No, No, she just wore a pair of casual pants,
a nice long sleep and her Homeland Security hat. And
she meant business when I tell you, I'm not even
gonna play the sound yet, just giving you the visual. So,
(21:13):
because every day we get visuals on TV, right, how
different are they from the previous administration? The previous administration
would be bus loads of illegals flown into a city
and getting off a bus or getting off a plane
and just infiltrating communities. That's what it used to look like,
and most would ignore, and some of us would be outraged.
Now you see them shackled. They never even let them
stand up straight. There's somebody on every neck holding them down.
(21:36):
It's bad. Enough, they're shackled, they got to try to
scoop in a catcher's position. It's like, you know, it's
an amazing deterrent message every time you show it on
the news. And I thought, well, that's as visually as
strict as it's going to get until yesterday. So Christy
Noolm is talking to reporters behind her in a giant
(21:59):
cuth and can't you imagine how that's smelling. Just a
sea of prisoners and tattoos, with shaved heads, white long
linen pants and no shirts. There's two guys in the
entire picture wearing a T shirt, these gang members, they
and they're all just standing like it's a photo op.
(22:24):
Watching her talk. I do like the fact that two
of them are wearing masks. I mean, I'm seeing about
thirty people, you know, the two of them are. Don't
get me. I sense the measles. So h it's a
pretty deterrence kind of message. And with them behind her,
she begins to speak her.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Sycat today and visiting this facility, And first of all,
I want to thank El Salvador and their president for
their partnership with the United States of America to bring
our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and have consequences
for the violence that they've perpetuated in our communities. I
also want to everybody to know if you come to
our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you
could face. First of all, do not.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Come to our country illegally. You will be removed and
you will be prosecuted.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
But know that this facility is one of the tools
in our toolkit that we will use if you commit
crimes against the American people.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Wow, now you know what that puppy was up against.
You eat my chickens. I go back to we waited
sixty four days for Joe Biden to ever have a
news conference, sixty four days. Donald Trump has had at
least two or three every day, complete transparency, non stop action.
(23:45):
But if we go back to Joe Biden, sixty four days,
he finally speaks, and when he does, I think he
was really talking to John Podesta and George Soros. I
may have been your puppet to steal the presidency in
a shadow campaign to save the democracy. But if you
haven't seen the movie Dave, I'm here now and I
refuse to leave. And the message was clearly sent when
(24:09):
he made Kamala Harris bordersar because he knew it was
a career ending position and any plans they had to
use him to shuffle into office, then shuffle him off
and hand it to the Hillary Clinton candidate. Kamala Harris,
he was sending the clear message I'm not going away.
(24:29):
In fact, here's a poison apple to your plan. And
then poor Kamala Harris tried to word salad her way
out by trying to explain to you that our immigration
problem is really their country of origins problem, and we
need to redistribute our wealth to them so that they
don't want to leave there and come here. And that
blew up in about forty eight hours, and finally she
(24:51):
had to go to Mexico and apologize to Mexico in
the world for what she said, and then told people
to stop coming. Of course, the words were meaningless when
the actions were. No one was stopping them at the border,
so they kept flooding. Donald Trump wins. They stop pouring
(25:12):
in because they know they'll pick consequences. And now in
a visual you see the consequences, a mass sell full
of gang members with Christy Noom not playing dress up
Barbie showing you the consequences behind her and telling her
(25:33):
don't come or you'll end up here or worse. That's
the difference between Kamala Harris and Christinome. That's the difference
between the sorrows Podesta administrative state or Joe Biden fake
presidency and Donald Trump's. One of the driving forces of
the election was right direction, wrong direction. Well, America clearly
(25:57):
felt we were heading in the wrong direction, and that
do well Joe Biden before her, and then Kamala Harris after.
But how's America feeling about our direction now? We always
love to feature Harry Enton. He's one of the lone
voices of reason throughout the campaign and since the election
of Donald Trump. From CNN listen.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I think sometimes it's important to do a little bit
of reality check and take a little.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Different spin at the numbers.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
I'm going to do that right here, because all we
talk about is how unpopular Donald Trump is, But in reality,
he's basically more popular than he was at any point
in term number one, and more popular than he was
when he won election back in November of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
What do we by the way, Before he gives you
these numbers, remember what I'm often reminding you remember all
those and we identified about sixteen Democrat members of Congress
who will face a midterm election in about a year
and a half. They won in twenty twenty four by
less than a tenth of a percent, three tenths at
the most in districts where Donald Trump carried the district
(26:55):
by anywhere from two to five percent. And I keep
saying to you, and by twenty twenty six, what do
you think Donald Trump's popularity is in those same districts?
And can somebody that won with a tenth of one
percent hang on to those seats? And the answer is
probably not if I'm right, and Donald Trump is far
(27:15):
more popular today than he was when he was elected
in twenty sixteen, let alone when he was elected four
months ago. And that's what Harry's going to point out,
and smart to point it out.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Listen, talk about that fabriull rating right now comes in
at minus four points. Compare that to where he was
when he won in November twenty twenty four, when he
was at minus seven points, or March of twenty seventeen,
when he was at minus ten points. So when you
compare Trump against himself, he's actually closer to the apex
than he is to the bottom of the trough. And
of course that's so important because Donald Trump, historically speaking
(27:51):
is how to his numbers underestimated. So I think it's
very important to compare him to himself to understand he's
actually more popular now than he.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Was when he won. He can't prove to you what
we talked about throughout the campaign, and these numbers aren't
even accurate. He's always underestimated and why for obvious reasons.
Donald Trump is the devil, He's the boogeyman, law fair,
crucify everything. And then somebody's going to call your phone
(28:21):
and you're going to say you're supporting Donald Trump. You're
hardly welcome to have such an opinion. So nobody really
knows if it's five points or ten points. But if
you go from minus ten to minus seven, and then
a couple of months later you're only at minus four,
you're probably really at plus four or.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Certainly where he was at this point back in his
first term. The bottom line is Trump is more towards
the ceiling than he is towards the floor.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
So when you do that, it makes my knees hurt.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
So when you look at this.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Compared to sort of historically, what does it tell you
about the percentage of folks that think the country itself,
with him at the helm, is on the right.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
This I think is rather important because again, if the
pulse have historically underestimated Donald Trump, what is a metric
that might get it understanding of how.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Popular he may actually be.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
So let's take a look at the percentage of the
country who say that we're on the right track. It's
actually a very high percentage when you compare it to
some historical numbers.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
According to Maris, forty five percent say that we're on
the right track. That's the second highest that Maris has
measured since.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Two thousand and nine. By the way, he's going to
get to this, but that's nearly double what the American
people felt when Joe Biden was president. So you see
forty five, you think it's low. It's actually very high.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
How about NBC News forty four percent, that's the highest
since two thousand and four. The bottom line is, the
percentage of Americans who say we're on the right track
is through the roof.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And if you were to compare it to.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
When presidents have historically been re elected. Of course, Trump
is not constitutionally eligible to run for re election, but
I think it sort of puts into perspective.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Forty two percent of the country says the country is
on the.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Right truck when the incumbent party is reelected. And also
keep in mind, back when Kamala Harris lost on the
Democrats or turned out of power, only about twenty seven
to twenty eight percent of the country said the country
is on the right Now.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Everybody thought the country was heading in the wrong direction.
That's why Joe couldn't win. That's why Kamala couldn't step
in and win. Now Donald Trump was elected for that reason,
and the things he's done as America feeling like they're
in the right direction. All right, let's do this final
quick sound. This is Donald Trump addressing this signal gait,
and I think he is an example of how this
(30:21):
should be handled. Unfortunately, Hegseeth and Waltz aren't handling it
as well as the President. But here's how the President
put it into perspective. Listen, maybe it's not very good.
I think we'd rather know about it now. There was
no harm done because the attack was unbelievably successful that night,
and it has been unbelievably successful every single night for
the last four or five nights. So how this guy
(30:45):
get on the call, We don't know. Maybe we'll never
find out, Maybe we will. Bottom line is the President
keeps downplaying it. It's a nothing burger. The targets were hit,
the attack was successful, and it is not going to
happen again. And I doubt they're ever going to use
six again. And that is your.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
This is CNN, this is the news, and that's why
more mate Miller watching the cartoon network Stunge Robbery runs
right now.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I'm big good Democrats. This is like a gold song.
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. President
Trump is suggesting that some judges who have ruled against
him be impeached. This is not sitting well with many,
including Republican members of Congress. John Decker is our White
House correspondent. He joins us with more Good morning, John.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Hey, good morning to you. Yeah, we've heard this before.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
We heard it just in the elast administration.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You remember when President Biden wanted to expand the size
of the Supreme Court. Presidents often do not like decisions
made by the third branch of government, the judiciary. And
that's the case with President Trump. And as you point out,
the idea of impeaching a federal judge, Michael.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Is so difficult. It's like impeaching a president. You need
a simple majority in the House. Then you need two
thirds of the Senate to vote to convict after that
impeachment trial, and with a fifty three forty seven advantage
that Republicans have, you're not going to get anywhere near
the sixty seven votes if indeed an impeachment happened for
(32:13):
a federal judge.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
But John, I don't think the goal is to actually
literally get them impeached, but play the US versus them game, right,
because it's usually over signature issues that are political footballs.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Well, I think that the president actually wants these federal
judges that have ruled against him removed.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Actually, you're with every day, I'm not. Yeah, I don't
think you're thinking about, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Playing games. He would love, in a perfect world for
these judges to be removed.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
But you know the answer if you do not like
the decision by.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
A federal district court judge is to.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
Appeal appeal to a circuit court appeal to an appellate
circuit court and hopefully.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
They'll they'll rule your way, and if not, then.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
You appeal all the way up to the US Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Well, there is an art of the deal that everybody
doesn't quite know what to do with, because you know,
they don't want to have egg on their face when
Donald trumps up getting his way. But you're right the
processes you appeal. There's a difference between a Supreme Court
ruling and then these federal judge rulings that can be appealed.
There's a legal process. I think everybody's senses started teaching
people that don't rule the way you want, that's a
(33:14):
step too far. The polls even bear that out, to
the tune of eighty percent. John Decker, a Supreme Court
bar attorney and White House correspondent, joins US Daily We
look forward tomorrow, John, We're all in this together. This
is your morning show with Michael nhild Joano
