Speaker 3 (00:15):
Stop Whining Pizza Boy two three.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Charman, excuse me,
and Whiny.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Bucks and the Brewers lost yesterday. I bet you're doing
some wine and Brian seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Good morning, and welcome to Friday, March the twenty eighth
ye of out Old twenty twenty five on the Aaron
streaming on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show
and can't have it without your voice. Let's start with
Blaine and Ames Iowa. You know you noticed during the
Doze explanation on Fox. Uh, there are not Those are
pretty sharp people doing this snoop and finding things out
(01:01):
that are really awesomely scary. Every time they look into
something that's at least a billion dollars of stolen money.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Now, we don't know where the money's going.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
We don't know how long it's been going out, but
I think it's been going on since these things have
been started.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They need to find more.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, the American people are behind it too, and in
our Sound of the Day, you heard Ela must say.
And the people that are against it, they're usually the
people that are committing these these frauds or benefiting from
all of this administrative bloat. It was a visual right.
These aren't computer nerds. These are real scientists, real top
notch executives, engineers. I think it was the smartest thing
(01:39):
Dose has done is put that entire panel on Fox
last night. Good comments, Youngstown.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
I would register as an independent, but I live in
Pennsylvania and if you're not registered with a party, you
can't vote in the primary. So I'm more aligned with
the Republican Party. So I read mister as a Republican.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Got a lot of people in that situation only do
the opposite so they can have to say in the
Democrat primary. Dustin Kate f Yi in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Hey, good morning, So I figured out a new way
to deflate their little concept of discrimination. Basically, I identify
as a ninety five year old man. I want my
retirement funds tomorrow and without any penalties. And I'm moving
to a fifty five plus community, buying a house out
one hundred and twenty. And if you refuse, it's called discrimination, right,
And if we get enough competitors on the playing field,
(02:32):
they'll have no choice but to change the rules to
the game. You kind of see where I'm going with that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh, I see where you went with that. And Dustin,
of course there's a double standard. They wouldn't buy your argument.
But yes, that is exactly what they're trying to do.
Ridiculous achieve.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
He's the one we all say now too.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
He has the power because he takes a shower. Mister president,
good morning, Well.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Good morning you pizza. I had to tell you something, right,
we're having a hell of a week. You look at it.
The next time we have a signal problem, we're going
to put you in the chat, We're going to put
you in there. I think you would have loved it.
I think you'd love it. I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I just you know, I wish everybody would handle it
the way you did. You make a crystal clear that
it was a mistake, and a mistake that's not going
to happen again. It didn't affect the air strikes, but
everybody else just kind of keeps egging it on.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And where is this all headed?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, I think there's a lot of people in the
fake news. You look at the fake news. These are
bad people, These are stupid people, and they had no
problem right with I called him Darth Vader, right, Lloyd
Austin with his mask, he was walking around. He looked
like Darth Vader, right, the lord him desists walking around.
And I knew Darth Vader very well. By the way,
when he was Anacan skywalker.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I did part of his.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Turn to the dark side. I love that he was
called him the chosen One. He did a great job.
And Quiet Gin was a great guy too.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I hear he was much shorter in real life.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Well he was a little guy, but he turned into
a monster, I could tell you. And then Luke, who
also got along very well with you know, turned him back.
Very nice thing that happened to him. But what happened
to Anakain would compete who I also got along well with.
I Gotling White get along well with everybody but you
look at it. The military was in deadhands, who was
in bed shape? You had Darth Vader, right, Lloyd Austin,
(04:20):
You had the people putting dogged masks on and all
sorts of crazy. That was fine, But you have signal
and you have Jeffrey Goldberg, who's a stupid person. You
look at him, he's a stupid guy, an ugly guy,
stupid guy, very low he is like he was very low.
But we have all of these people. He got on
there because somebody they call it fat finger right, maybe
it was Chris Christy who put it on sausage fingers.
(04:42):
Who knows it won't happen again. It should never have happened,
and we know that it was a bad thing. But
the mission, by the way, was a success. We took
out the terrorist. We were very successful. Everybody was safe
and of no consequence. But we're not going to let
it happen again.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Christy Nolan and El Salvador with all the prisoners behind her, Wow,
what a powerful visual and message.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well you look at her in the prison right with
the people those and we look at those people. That
was a cage full of bad ombres. These were bad ombres.
Very bad people. And we just caught a major leader
of MS thirteen this morning. It was a tremendous thing
that happened.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So we're doing very well. We're waiting to.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
See which activist judge, maybe it will be judge Philip McCracken.
We'll see what happens who says you got to leave
them in our country, which we're not going to do.
We're going to send them out. We're going to send
them someplace else. But we got MS thirteen as leader,
one of their leaders, and Christinome did a tremendous job.
She's doing a great job. You know, she's doing wonderful.
(05:48):
She's securing the homeland. She's doing a fantastic and I
got to tell you something, these people who are on
her bedside better not be on her bedside. As much
as her dog was right, I did very badly and
so you have to watch out. So these people are scared,
and they should be scared. She's doing a wonderful job.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Friday with forty seven good progress steps towards a ceasefire
with Russia and Ukraine and ultimately hopes of steps towards peace.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
How's that going well?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I along very well with Putin. You know of all
about it. I get along very well with Putin. And
when I was president the first time around, Vladimir Putin
called me. He said, Sarah, I'm going into Ukraine. I said,
you're not going to do that. You're going to go
back to Russia. Russia, Russia. I sent them a beautiful
nesting You know nesting does Nikolai Matroshka in Russia. I
sent them a nesting dell. The first one you open up,
(06:41):
it was Stacy Abrams, the Beast of the Southeast.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You open it up, you open it up.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
After that, you get JB right, JB pritz here, and
you know what JB stands for. Jiggilee belly right, jiggily
belly pritzcare. And then you open it up and you
get Christy, and you get roasty, and you go all
the way down the line until you get a little guy.
And I said, you play with those nesting dolls, right,
you play with those nesting dolls? And he did. He
(07:06):
wouldn't go into Ukraine. He said, sorry, I'm not going
to do it. I'm too busy playing. And he didn't
go in. I get along very well with Putin. He's
a smart person. But I can look very well with him,
and we're going to do a ceasefire. We're going to
end the war and everybody's going to be very happy
about it. But I get along very well with Putin,
as opposed to our former president who did not get
(07:27):
along well with Putin. That he did it's called Tutin
with Putin, it was that every time he heard Putin's name,
he had a problem. He made boom boobs every time.
So you don't want to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, that role.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Now we have a great relationship.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
We have a relationship. I have a theory on the terroriffs.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know he called with the new tariffs on European
vehicles and there was some concessions potentially for Mexico and Canada.
And also we're negotiating the TikTok sale. And these two
aren't related, are they?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That we would use the terraf the tariffs.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Now you look at the tariffs and the tariffs are
going to be great. You know, we want to bring
American jobs. We want to start and bring these companies in.
You have Rolls Royce, they came in. They're going to
be producing. We're going to have we have a Canadian company.
They're called pre Pack. They're a furniture company from Canada
and they and they abandoned their production facility in British
(08:20):
Columbia and they're in North Carolina. We have Hyundai, we
have Honda. So many companies are coming into the United States.
They said, Sara, I want to avoid the tariffs, and
said you have to come in. So they came in.
That's what it's all about. They came in and now
they're in and everything is great. Europe has a problem,
and they have more than that as a problem. They
(08:40):
have an immigrant problem too. A lot of bad things
are happening, worse things than my tariffs, so they don't
want to deal with them. You could put your plants
in the United States twenty five percent and maybe more
right you look at it. Ireland is the only country
in Europe that gets the exception because they took Rosie
o'donnald and if they send them back, they're getting tariffs
at fourth We're not going to let that happen.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So he's not coming back.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I said to the I said to Connor McGregor, I said,
listen to me. I will fight you, and I call
him Connor, right, I said I will fight you and
beat the hell out of you if you send it back.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He said, sir, I want no part of that closing moments.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, by the way, I haven't talked to you since
that magical moment at the wrestling match.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That was just incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I would have said, you know, I think I did
say to you last week, why are you going to
a college wrestling?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It was magic. It was the miracle on the mat
and then he saluted you. Oh, what an American moment.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That was great.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
People, wonderful, competitive on the way anything. It's tremendous. I
told him everything he knows.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
People knows you.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Were a wonderful wrestler. I'm in the w WE Hall
of Fame. Everybody knows that. And now Linda McMahon, Secretary
of Education. And you also have Tennessee's on Glenn Jacobs right,
you look at him. He wants to challenge Tim Walls
to a wrestling match. I want him to put him
to a table. He'll be trendous. Joe slam right through
a table.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
By the way, you heard Joe, Joe Biden offered his
help to come back and help in the midterms.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
We can only hope we would love to see it, right,
we would love to see it. We don't want to
smell it, but we definitely want to see it. Come
on back, Joe, the water sun, the water Sun.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I have to end with this so I get virtually
everything you do. And of course I support it. Most
of America supports it. This one I don't get. You
endorse Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Well, you look at what they say about me, and
you look at what they say about women. Right. I
had to do this to be kind to a fellow,
well not a fellow, but a female in the Senate.
Lindsey Graham is a wonderful woman. She does a great job.
She sits when she pes right. She says, I did
this to when Nana. I did this. I heard it.
(10:55):
I've seen the feet. You walk into the bathroom, the
feet appointing to warders the door, and you hear it
can go. That means he's sitting down and he is
doing a number one, not a number O. Does a
number one, and you're not supposed to do that. If
you're a man, you're not supposed to do that. So
he's not right. So you look at it. And we
usually don't get along with people to sit when they pay.
(11:15):
You look at Justin said, there, you look at a
lot of these people. But Lindsey Graham, she is a
wonderful woman and I wish her the best of luck.
She's running in a very tough race in South Carolina
and she has my complete and total endorsement. So we
did that to win the woman vote because Lindsey is
a wonderful woman. She has treated me very well and
we're very happy to support her.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And there you have it Friday with forty seven and
why indors Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It was it all in their signal. He's the chief.
We all hail to mister President. Thank you again so
much for your time.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Did the President just say Lindsey Graham said, somebody's probably
looking at the Rido Gregor, He.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Really just said that. It's your morning show with Michael
del Chno.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Love to get emails and Michael didiheartmedia dot com. This
one comes from the Hope Awfish, my son Nicholas. You
know what an old soul anyway, but he is going
to be such a polished old soul his wife has
to look forward to. So we're always together, always in
the car, and you know Elo comes on. I'm just
a huge Ello fan. And if you can't hear the
(12:25):
influence of the Beatles when you listen to Elo, and
so I make the comment, you know, so clearly influenced
or rip off of the Beatles in particular Sergeant Pepper.
But yet I thought they in some ways were better.
I know that's going to create a bunch of emails,
and I don't mean to, but I just I think
the world of Elo. And so my son starts arguing me,
I don't hear the Beatles, because my son's a huge
(12:47):
Beatles fan, so he must have googled this morning. Yes,
Electric Light Orchestra, particularly in their early years, drew heavily
from the Beatles.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, I think once again, Daddy's right. What can I say?
Tell you, I get no respect even at home.
Speaker 1 (13:05):

reach their goal amount of government waste and fraud removed
within his one hundred and thirty day mandate.

We are cutting the waste import in real time, so
every day that passes, our goal is to produce the
waste prode by four billion dollars a day, every day,
seven days a week.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
One hundred thirty days is the legal time frame given
to a special government employee to stay on the job.
He believes he can cut the deficit by one trillion
dollars within that time. That started in November. I'm Mark Mayfield.

We had four.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Advanced Bama Florida, Duke in Texas, Tech and the Elite eight.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Eight more played tonight and four more will advance.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
An all SEC final four is still quite possible. Big
ten has it's stay tonight with Michigan and Michigan State.
All right, little one on one time we talk about
the partisan political seismic shift that has taken place. Nothing
(17:25):
gives you a better glimpse of that than looking at
swing states that would have swing states been. I mean,
you go back to two thousand, the hanging chads in Florida,
because at that time Ohio, Florida, and Texas would decide
the presidency. Sure, all the states are voting, but come on,
summer solid blue, summer solid red. It's the swing states.
(17:46):
And what we've gotten to like in Pennsylvania now is
a swing district in the Philadelphia area or in Georgia,
a swing district in the Atlanta area. These are Milwaukee
and what's johnsin swing districts let alone swing states, But
not long ago the swing states were Ohio, Florida, and Texas.
(18:09):
Now I think we would all agree it's probably Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin.
But what's the very near future look like. What's causing it? Well,
there's been a growing independent consensus of America. It may
be as large as the or larger in some ways
(18:33):
in influence than the party itself. Now, we have often
seen independence make the final the final say in elections,
and the independents have finally swung right from left. So
there's a lot more Republican leaning independence than Democrat leaning independence.
But the Democrat party has moved so far. I mean,
(18:54):
I always talk about the pendulum between John F. Kennedy
and Ted Kennedy. That was just breathtaking, right, and that
was from the same womb. But think of the party
of John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman and FDR compared
to really you could go back to LBJ let alone,
Jimmy Carter let alone, Barack Obama and whoever was running
(19:17):
the country for four years, this party has gone so
far left it has left the party itself, which led
to the growth of independent. I mean, it's gone so
far left. Bill Maher finds himself a centrist. So what
does this shift do by state? And then what we
did at the beginning in our journey of discovery of
(19:39):
the week was look at how all these mass exoduses
from California, Illinois, and New York primarily, but where they're
going Florida, Tennessee, Texas. It's created what is coming by
twenty thirty and redistricting. So our founding fathers are brilliant. Right.
(20:02):
The House of Representatives, the People's Houses we call it,
represents the populace. So the more people you have in
a state, the more congressmen you have. Now every state,
because we're the United States, has two senators that's equal.
But how many congressmen you have and women depends on
how what your population is. So as the population dwindles
in these blue states and move to red states, guess what,
(20:24):
you get more electoral votes because you have more congressional districts. So,
just so you know, if you weren't listening, money there's
obviously the podcast. You can go back and listen. But
what it breaks down to is Minnesota is going to
lose a Democrat seat and district. California is going to
lose four, Wisconsin's going to lose one, Illinois is going
(20:46):
to lose one, New York's going to lose two, Pennsylvania's
going to lose one. Meanwhile, Texas is going to gain four,
Florida's going to gain four, Arizona's going to gain one.
It creates a shift in the electoral college map, and
so the old swing states are now solid red. The
new swing states with Trumpism anyway, leaned red. Remember he
(21:08):
took every single swing state. Now how my mind derived
at predicting that was, well, if you're going to pull
off Pennsylvania, you're going to pull off Michigan for the
same reason. And if you pull off Michigan and Pennsylvania
will of course you're going.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
To take Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And if you can take Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania as
you did in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty four, I
don't have to tell you I know how Nevada and
Arizona falls.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So Donald Trump swept it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Now is that something that Republicans now own or is
that a Trump phenomenon, and that's even tough to dissect
because it really is Reagan Revolution on the older end
meets tea Party movement in the middle meets the young
and trump Ism and it's kind of all morphed into
an American Party that has taken over the Republican Party. Meanwhile,
the Democrats are worked with themselves and all educations are
(21:59):
they planned a double down on far left extremism, which
means the party will do what it did in twenty
sixteen and twenty twenty and fix it and ignore them,
which is going to create even a greater split, maybe
a defining, devastating death blow to the Democrat Party. But
how does it affect swing states? So what w faced
(22:24):
was key districts in Ohio, key districts and hanging Chad's
in Florida, and he secures an election those have long
turn read. In this previous election, we were looking at Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia.
What's the future show? This is fascinating. First Minnesota. In
(22:49):
recent cycles, the anchor of the Democrats blue Wall has
slowly become more competitive. Trump won forty four point nine
percent of the vote in Minnesota. In twenty sixteen prety
five point three, more so in twenty twenty and forty
six point seven last year, what might be coming? I
(23:11):
mean Donald Trump spent the entire year imprisoned in lawfare
with a gag order, got the nomination, went on to
sweep all the swing states. But he is a completely
different political entity today and his influence in the next election.
Does that get all the way to fifty neighboring Michigan
(23:34):
in Wisconsin Already, key swing states have shown signs of
itching right word. Is it a red wave or a
Trump orange wave? That has to be determined. Along with
the rest of the rust belt, Minnesota has been hit
particularly hard by the offshoring of manufacturing jobs and increasing
government regulations, especially involved in the state's mining industry. Minnesota
(24:01):
about to become a key swing state? Is that a
death blow to the Democrats? In twenty twenty one, incumbent
Governor Glenn Yankin in Virginia became the first Republican to
win statewide in Virginia since two thousand and nine. Then,
last November, the Old Dominion produced one of the biggest
surprises of the election when Trump led there well into
(24:21):
the evening cutting his margin of defeat in half compared
to twenty twenty. And look at what he is today.
Is Virginia the new swing state? And if it is,
that means the wave red is now into deep blue.
(24:43):
Not a good sign for the Democrats. There was a
time in the election cycle where Donald Trump looked very
seriously like he could take New York. Now that's playing
out now, even in the mayor's race, and we'll see
that's gonna be the showdown. I'm wondering if by the
time that race and were weeks away, if Donald Trump
(25:04):
even begins to campaign for a Democrat mayor in New York.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
But what about New Jersey?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
The Garden State was another uncomfortable close win for the Democrats,
too close for comfort, with Vice President Kamala Harris carrying
the state by just five points over Donald Trump. Four
years ago, Joe Biden won the state by sixteen and
four years a sixteen margin.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Down to five points.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
In twenty twenty, New Jersey Democrats had a registered voter
advantage of more than one million. By this past January,
that edge dwindled down to eight hundred and ninety six thousand.
And don't forget the voting with your feet. As these
exoduses continue, so do the electoral values for.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
These states, and so do some of the votes. So
we have to wait and see how that impacts it.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But a combination of failed liberal policies and broader demographics
shifts have some pundits suggesting New Jersey is about to
be the swing state of the future. Twenty two percent
of the state is Hispanic and the Democrats have lost
the Hispanic voting bloc. They have an inflation cost of
(26:18):
living crisis, and that's thanks to Democratic leadership in Trenton,
as well as a disastrous four years for whoever was
really running the presidency of the body and mind that
once housed Joe Biden. The state has the highest poverty
rates in the country and the third highest overall tax
burden nationwide. You can't tax your way to prosperity. You
(26:44):
can't major in minors and minor in majors, putting social
wokeness above things like schools, public safety, roads, jobs. But
in these blue states they continue to gotten away with it,
but the numbers are dwindling of their voting block. Some
(27:07):
have left with their feet, and there has been a
partisan political shift in America. So just as Ohio, Florida,
and Texas are now solid red, but once we're a
swing state twenty five years ago, Just as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Georgia look as though they're now going to be
consistently leaning red. Is New Jersey and play forget Michigan, Wisconsin,
(27:32):
is Minnesota and play he could New York be far behind?
And if all that's true, what does it say of
the Democrat's future? Never mind worldview, never mind platform, never
mind policy views, dying of failure in consequence, just in
(27:55):
reality of the makeup and the total value of electoral
votes per state. What once looked like it was headed
towards a monopoly for the Democrats? Now is there a
way for them to move forward? Even if they could
find a message and a messenger, it doesn't look good
(28:18):
from the lens of swing states. And that's our journey
of discovery for today, Friday, March the twenty eighth, and
I won on One Time Together.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. You're
just waking up.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Get those prayers flying for the rescue workers and for
all those after a powerful earthquake had been affected in Thailand.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Michael Kastner reports.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
The US Geological Survey says the magnitude seven point seven
quake hit around midday local time near Mandalay in central
me and mar It was followed by a powerful aftershock.
There's been no word yet of damage in Mandalay, but
some six hundred miles to the south, the earthquake had
building swaying in the city of Bangkok. Residents we're rushing
(29:01):
out into the streets. Videos on social media show a
high rise under construction north of Bangkok collapsing into a
pile of rubble, sending people running to escape the billowing
cloud of dust. I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I think the most breathtaking visual was a high rise
residential and the pool is literally emptying as the building
is shaking.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Just lots of prayers needed in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The FAA is telling Congress it must do more to
ensure flying remains safe after that mid air collision in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
The agency's Actor administrator, Chris Rushlo, told a Senate hearing
on Thursday, we have to get smarter about how we
use data.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Something was missed at the DCA crash. I take that seriously.
I take that upon myself.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Investigators have highlighted eighty five close calls around Reagan Airport
over three years before the crash, but Russlo admits the
alarming trend was missed.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I'm Mark meehew.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
A partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of
the US this weekend.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
NASA says the eclipse will be visible from the Washington,
DC area to eastern Canada, with main getting the best view.
The eclipse will begin before sunrise on the East coast
and end around seven am. Viewers are worn to wear
protective glasses when viewing the eclipse. If you miss this one,
the next partial eclipse in North America happens in August
of twenty twenty six. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Well, the headline for this one could be no, you
know what sherlock.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
But a new report says people are paying more for
housing than ever before, in interest rates and in home cost.
National correspondent Roory O'Neil has the story. Good morning, Rory,
Hey there, Michael right.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
This report from Redfinn tells us that for people that
bought a house in the past year, they have the
highest housing payment each month than ever before two thousand,
eight hundred and seven dollars a month on average, in
large part because, as you laid out, the price of
the house is up and the price of the mortgage
is up. You know, we did see mortgages top seven
(30:52):
percent back in January. Those numbers have been coming down
a little bit, but you know, long term historical prospect
these mortgage rates are about average, but we got so
spoiled of the past oh fifteen twenty years or so,
we think these rates are crazy high.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And I'm not bragging, but you know, I locked in
at two point I think seven percent, So I'm going
to hang on to that like a vowel on the
wheel of fortune. But you know it's worthy of note
that new number is twenty seven hundred whatever a month
for less house than ever before. It's not just the
most we've ever paid, but for the least potentially. And
(31:30):
we all know what the solution is. The interest rates
have to come down. That's going to take a while
for the economy to recover. But we also need to build.
I mean, you know, supply demand. We need more supply,
and we need more entry level supply.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
In particular, you know that by some estimates, we're about
five million housing units short This really dates back to
the Great Recession, and we're still haven't worked our way
out of that because home building really stopped after that.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It was getting back on its speed boom.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Here comes along COVID, So it's been a one two
punch and then builders have been focusing on I'm building
those high end.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Eight bedroom homes because there's.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
A lot of profit to be made, but we need
more of those fifteen hundred square foot three bedroom simple
houses that are the starter houses for so many.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You know, Roy works all week long and that's just
not enough for him, so he has to do a
weekend show.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
What's coming up this weekend? Oh, nothing going on this week? Yeah,
just ho hum.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
But also taking a look at that Medal of Honor
museum that opened up this week in Arlington, Texas. I
talked to one Medal of Honor recipient, only sixty one
of them still are alive.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
And also the guy who's behind the museum that just
opened up.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
So it's a new attraction there in Arlington, Texas that
I'm anxious to see.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's the Weekend Dive.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You can hear it on many iHeartRadio stations, or you
can hear it on demand on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Great work all week Ory, we'll talk next week. Have
a great weekend. We're all in this together. This is

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Stop Whining Pizza Boy two three.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Charman, excuse me,
and Whiny.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Bucks and the Brewers lost yesterday. I bet you're doing
some wine and Brian seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Good morning, and welcome to Friday, March the twenty eighth
ye of out Old twenty twenty five on the Aaron
streaming on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show
and can't have it without your voice. Let's start with
Blaine and Ames Iowa. You know you noticed during the
Doze explanation on Fox. Uh, there are not Those are
pretty sharp people doing this snoop and finding things out
(01:01):
that are really awesomely scary. Every time they look into
something that's at least a billion dollars of stolen money.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Now, we don't know where the money's going.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
We don't know how long it's been going out, but
I think it's been going on since these things have
been started.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They need to find more.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, the American people are behind it too, and in
our Sound of the Day, you heard Ela must say.
And the people that are against it, they're usually the
people that are committing these these frauds or benefiting from
all of this administrative bloat. It was a visual right.
These aren't computer nerds. These are real scientists, real top
notch executives, engineers. I think it was the smartest thing
(01:39):
Dose has done is put that entire panel on Fox
last night. Good comments, Youngstown.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
I would register as an independent, but I live in
Pennsylvania and if you're not registered with a party, you
can't vote in the primary. So I'm more aligned with
the Republican Party. So I read mister as a Republican.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Got a lot of people in that situation only do
the opposite so they can have to say in the
Democrat primary. Dustin Kate f Yi in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Hey, good morning, So I figured out a new way
to deflate their little concept of discrimination. Basically, I identify
as a ninety five year old man. I want my
retirement funds tomorrow and without any penalties. And I'm moving
to a fifty five plus community, buying a house out
one hundred and twenty. And if you refuse, it's called discrimination, right,
And if we get enough competitors on the playing field,
(02:32):
they'll have no choice but to change the rules to
the game. You kind of see where I'm going with that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh, I see where you went with that. And Dustin,
of course there's a double standard. They wouldn't buy your argument.
But yes, that is exactly what they're trying to do.
Ridiculous achieve.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
He's the one we all say now too.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
He has the power because he takes a shower. Mister president,
good morning, Well.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Good morning you pizza. I had to tell you something, right,
we're having a hell of a week. You look at it.
The next time we have a signal problem, we're going
to put you in the chat, We're going to put
you in there. I think you would have loved it.
I think you'd love it. I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I just you know, I wish everybody would handle it
the way you did. You make a crystal clear that
it was a mistake, and a mistake that's not going
to happen again. It didn't affect the air strikes, but
everybody else just kind of keeps egging it on.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And where is this all headed?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, I think there's a lot of people in the
fake news. You look at the fake news. These are
bad people, These are stupid people, and they had no
problem right with I called him Darth Vader, right, Lloyd
Austin with his mask, he was walking around. He looked
like Darth Vader, right, the lord him desists walking around.
And I knew Darth Vader very well. By the way,
when he was Anacan skywalker.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I did part of his.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Turn to the dark side. I love that he was
called him the chosen One. He did a great job.
And Quiet Gin was a great guy too.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I hear he was much shorter in real life.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Well he was a little guy, but he turned into
a monster, I could tell you. And then Luke, who
also got along very well with you know, turned him back.
Very nice thing that happened to him. But what happened
to Anakain would compete who I also got along well with.
I Gotling White get along well with everybody but you
look at it. The military was in deadhands, who was
in bed shape? You had Darth Vader, right, Lloyd Austin,
(04:20):
You had the people putting dogged masks on and all
sorts of crazy. That was fine, But you have signal
and you have Jeffrey Goldberg, who's a stupid person. You
look at him, he's a stupid guy, an ugly guy,
stupid guy, very low he is like he was very low.
But we have all of these people. He got on
there because somebody they call it fat finger right, maybe
it was Chris Christy who put it on sausage fingers.
(04:42):
Who knows it won't happen again. It should never have happened,
and we know that it was a bad thing. But
the mission, by the way, was a success. We took
out the terrorist. We were very successful. Everybody was safe
and of no consequence. But we're not going to let
it happen again.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Christy Nolan and El Salvador with all the prisoners behind her, Wow,
what a powerful visual and message.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well you look at her in the prison right with
the people those and we look at those people. That
was a cage full of bad ombres. These were bad ombres.
Very bad people. And we just caught a major leader
of MS thirteen this morning. It was a tremendous thing
that happened.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So we're doing very well. We're waiting to.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
See which activist judge, maybe it will be judge Philip McCracken.
We'll see what happens who says you got to leave
them in our country, which we're not going to do.
We're going to send them out. We're going to send
them someplace else. But we got MS thirteen as leader,
one of their leaders, and Christinome did a tremendous job.
She's doing a great job. You know, she's doing wonderful.
(05:48):
She's securing the homeland. She's doing a fantastic and I
got to tell you something, these people who are on
her bedside better not be on her bedside. As much
as her dog was right, I did very badly and
so you have to watch out. So these people are scared,
and they should be scared. She's doing a wonderful job.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Friday with forty seven good progress steps towards a ceasefire
with Russia and Ukraine and ultimately hopes of steps towards peace.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
How's that going well?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I along very well with Putin. You know of all
about it. I get along very well with Putin. And
when I was president the first time around, Vladimir Putin
called me. He said, Sarah, I'm going into Ukraine. I said,
you're not going to do that. You're going to go
back to Russia. Russia, Russia. I sent them a beautiful
nesting You know nesting does Nikolai Matroshka in Russia. I
sent them a nesting dell. The first one you open up,
(06:41):
it was Stacy Abrams, the Beast of the Southeast.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You open it up, you open it up.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
After that, you get JB right, JB pritz here, and
you know what JB stands for. Jiggilee belly right, jiggily
belly pritzcare. And then you open it up and you
get Christy, and you get roasty, and you go all
the way down the line until you get a little guy.
And I said, you play with those nesting dolls, right,
you play with those nesting dolls? And he did. He
(07:06):
wouldn't go into Ukraine. He said, sorry, I'm not going
to do it. I'm too busy playing. And he didn't
go in. I get along very well with Putin. He's
a smart person. But I can look very well with him,
and we're going to do a ceasefire. We're going to
end the war and everybody's going to be very happy
about it. But I get along very well with Putin,
as opposed to our former president who did not get
(07:27):
along well with Putin. That he did it's called Tutin
with Putin, it was that every time he heard Putin's name,
he had a problem. He made boom boobs every time.
So you don't want to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, that role.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Now we have a great relationship.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
We have a relationship. I have a theory on the terroriffs.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know he called with the new tariffs on European
vehicles and there was some concessions potentially for Mexico and Canada.
And also we're negotiating the TikTok sale. And these two
aren't related, are they?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That we would use the terraf the tariffs.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Now you look at the tariffs and the tariffs are
going to be great. You know, we want to bring
American jobs. We want to start and bring these companies in.
You have Rolls Royce, they came in. They're going to
be producing. We're going to have we have a Canadian company.
They're called pre Pack. They're a furniture company from Canada
and they and they abandoned their production facility in British
(08:20):
Columbia and they're in North Carolina. We have Hyundai, we
have Honda. So many companies are coming into the United States.
They said, Sara, I want to avoid the tariffs, and
said you have to come in. So they came in.
That's what it's all about. They came in and now
they're in and everything is great. Europe has a problem,
and they have more than that as a problem. They
(08:40):
have an immigrant problem too. A lot of bad things
are happening, worse things than my tariffs, so they don't
want to deal with them. You could put your plants
in the United States twenty five percent and maybe more
right you look at it. Ireland is the only country
in Europe that gets the exception because they took Rosie
o'donnald and if they send them back, they're getting tariffs
at fourth We're not going to let that happen.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So he's not coming back.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I said to the I said to Connor McGregor, I said,
listen to me. I will fight you, and I call
him Connor, right, I said I will fight you and
beat the hell out of you if you send it back.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He said, sir, I want no part of that closing moments.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, by the way, I haven't talked to you since
that magical moment at the wrestling match.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
That was just incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I would have said, you know, I think I did
say to you last week, why are you going to
a college wrestling?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It was magic. It was the miracle on the mat
and then he saluted you. Oh, what an American moment.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That was great.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
People, wonderful, competitive on the way anything. It's tremendous. I
told him everything he knows.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
People knows you.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Were a wonderful wrestler. I'm in the w WE Hall
of Fame. Everybody knows that. And now Linda McMahon, Secretary
of Education. And you also have Tennessee's on Glenn Jacobs right,
you look at him. He wants to challenge Tim Walls
to a wrestling match. I want him to put him
to a table. He'll be trendous. Joe slam right through
a table.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
By the way, you heard Joe, Joe Biden offered his
help to come back and help in the midterms.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
We can only hope we would love to see it, right,
we would love to see it. We don't want to
smell it, but we definitely want to see it. Come
on back, Joe, the water sun, the water Sun.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I have to end with this so I get virtually
everything you do. And of course I support it. Most
of America supports it. This one I don't get. You
endorse Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Well, you look at what they say about me, and
you look at what they say about women. Right. I
had to do this to be kind to a fellow,
well not a fellow, but a female in the Senate.
Lindsey Graham is a wonderful woman. She does a great job.
She sits when she pes right. She says, I did
this to when Nana. I did this. I heard it.
(10:55):
I've seen the feet. You walk into the bathroom, the
feet appointing to warders the door, and you hear it
can go. That means he's sitting down and he is
doing a number one, not a number O. Does a
number one, and you're not supposed to do that. If
you're a man, you're not supposed to do that. So
he's not right. So you look at it. And we
usually don't get along with people to sit when they pay.
(11:15):
You look at Justin said, there, you look at a
lot of these people. But Lindsey Graham, she is a
wonderful woman and I wish her the best of luck.
She's running in a very tough race in South Carolina
and she has my complete and total endorsement. So we
did that to win the woman vote because Lindsey is
a wonderful woman. She has treated me very well and
we're very happy to support her.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And there you have it Friday with forty seven and
why indors Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It was it all in their signal. He's the chief.
We all hail to mister President. Thank you again so
much for your time.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Did the President just say Lindsey Graham said, somebody's probably
looking at the Rido Gregor, He.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Really just said that. It's your morning show with Michael
del Chno.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Love to get emails and Michael didiheartmedia dot com. This
one comes from the Hope Awfish, my son Nicholas. You
know what an old soul anyway, but he is going
to be such a polished old soul his wife has
to look forward to. So we're always together, always in
the car, and you know Elo comes on. I'm just
a huge Ello fan. And if you can't hear the
(12:25):
influence of the Beatles when you listen to Elo, and
so I make the comment, you know, so clearly influenced
or rip off of the Beatles in particular Sergeant Pepper.
But yet I thought they in some ways were better.
I know that's going to create a bunch of emails,
and I don't mean to, but I just I think
the world of Elo. And so my son starts arguing me,
I don't hear the Beatles, because my son's a huge
(12:47):
Beatles fan, so he must have googled this morning. Yes,
Electric Light Orchestra, particularly in their early years, drew heavily
from the Beatles.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, I think once again, Daddy's right. What can I say?
Tell you, I get no respect even at home.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Top five stories of the day if you're just waking up.

the Department of Government Efficiency for very much longer. Why
mission accomplished in a short amount of time? Mark Mayfield

waste prode by four billion dollars a day, every day,
seven days a week.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
One hundred thirty days is the legal time frame given
to a special government employee to stay on the job.
He believes he can cut the deficit by one trillion
dollars within that time. That started in November. I'm Mark Mayfield.

All prayers are flying for those doing a search and
rescue after a seven point seven magnitude earthquake hits Thailand.
A partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of
the US this weekend ball allbeit side watching basketball.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
We had four.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Advanced Bama Florida, Duke in Texas, Tech and the Elite eight.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Eight more played tonight and four more will advance.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
An all SEC final four is still quite possible. Big
ten has it's stay tonight with Michigan and Michigan State.
All right, little one on one time we talk about
the partisan political seismic shift that has taken place. Nothing
(17:25):
gives you a better glimpse of that than looking at
swing states that would have swing states been. I mean,
you go back to two thousand, the hanging chads in Florida,
because at that time Ohio, Florida, and Texas would decide
the presidency. Sure, all the states are voting, but come on,
summer solid blue, summer solid red. It's the swing states.
(17:46):
And what we've gotten to like in Pennsylvania now is
a swing district in the Philadelphia area or in Georgia,
a swing district in the Atlanta area. These are Milwaukee
and what's johnsin swing districts let alone swing states, But
not long ago the swing states were Ohio, Florida, and Texas.
(18:09):
Now I think we would all agree it's probably Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin.
But what's the very near future look like. What's causing it? Well,
there's been a growing independent consensus of America. It may
be as large as the or larger in some ways
(18:33):
in influence than the party itself. Now, we have often
seen independence make the final the final say in elections,
and the independents have finally swung right from left. So
there's a lot more Republican leaning independence than Democrat leaning independence.
But the Democrat party has moved so far. I mean,
(18:54):
I always talk about the pendulum between John F. Kennedy
and Ted Kennedy. That was just breathtaking, right, and that
was from the same womb. But think of the party
of John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman and FDR compared
to really you could go back to LBJ let alone,
Jimmy Carter let alone, Barack Obama and whoever was running
(19:17):
the country for four years, this party has gone so
far left it has left the party itself, which led
to the growth of independent. I mean, it's gone so
far left. Bill Maher finds himself a centrist. So what
does this shift do by state? And then what we
did at the beginning in our journey of discovery of
(19:39):
the week was look at how all these mass exoduses
from California, Illinois, and New York primarily, but where they're
going Florida, Tennessee, Texas. It's created what is coming by
twenty thirty and redistricting. So our founding fathers are brilliant. Right.
(20:02):
The House of Representatives, the People's Houses we call it,
represents the populace. So the more people you have in
a state, the more congressmen you have. Now every state,
because we're the United States, has two senators that's equal.
But how many congressmen you have and women depends on
how what your population is. So as the population dwindles
in these blue states and move to red states, guess what,
(20:24):
you get more electoral votes because you have more congressional districts. So,
just so you know, if you weren't listening, money there's
obviously the podcast. You can go back and listen. But
what it breaks down to is Minnesota is going to
lose a Democrat seat and district. California is going to
lose four, Wisconsin's going to lose one, Illinois is going
(20:46):
to lose one, New York's going to lose two, Pennsylvania's
going to lose one. Meanwhile, Texas is going to gain four,
Florida's going to gain four, Arizona's going to gain one.
It creates a shift in the electoral college map, and
so the old swing states are now solid red. The
new swing states with Trumpism anyway, leaned red. Remember he
(21:08):
took every single swing state. Now how my mind derived
at predicting that was, well, if you're going to pull
off Pennsylvania, you're going to pull off Michigan for the
same reason. And if you pull off Michigan and Pennsylvania
will of course you're going.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
To take Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And if you can take Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania as
you did in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty four, I
don't have to tell you I know how Nevada and
Arizona falls.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So Donald Trump swept it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Now is that something that Republicans now own or is
that a Trump phenomenon, and that's even tough to dissect
because it really is Reagan Revolution on the older end
meets tea Party movement in the middle meets the young
and trump Ism and it's kind of all morphed into
an American Party that has taken over the Republican Party. Meanwhile,
the Democrats are worked with themselves and all educations are
(21:59):
they planned a double down on far left extremism, which
means the party will do what it did in twenty
sixteen and twenty twenty and fix it and ignore them,
which is going to create even a greater split, maybe
a defining, devastating death blow to the Democrat Party. But
how does it affect swing states? So what w faced
(22:24):
was key districts in Ohio, key districts and hanging Chad's
in Florida, and he secures an election those have long
turn read. In this previous election, we were looking at Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia.
What's the future show? This is fascinating. First Minnesota. In
(22:49):
recent cycles, the anchor of the Democrats blue Wall has
slowly become more competitive. Trump won forty four point nine
percent of the vote in Minnesota. In twenty sixteen prety
five point three, more so in twenty twenty and forty
six point seven last year, what might be coming? I
(23:11):
mean Donald Trump spent the entire year imprisoned in lawfare
with a gag order, got the nomination, went on to
sweep all the swing states. But he is a completely
different political entity today and his influence in the next election.
Does that get all the way to fifty neighboring Michigan
(23:34):
in Wisconsin Already, key swing states have shown signs of
itching right word. Is it a red wave or a
Trump orange wave? That has to be determined. Along with
the rest of the rust belt, Minnesota has been hit
particularly hard by the offshoring of manufacturing jobs and increasing
government regulations, especially involved in the state's mining industry. Minnesota
(24:01):
about to become a key swing state? Is that a
death blow to the Democrats? In twenty twenty one, incumbent
Governor Glenn Yankin in Virginia became the first Republican to
win statewide in Virginia since two thousand and nine. Then,
last November, the Old Dominion produced one of the biggest
surprises of the election when Trump led there well into
(24:21):
the evening cutting his margin of defeat in half compared
to twenty twenty. And look at what he is today.
Is Virginia the new swing state? And if it is,
that means the wave red is now into deep blue.
(24:43):
Not a good sign for the Democrats. There was a
time in the election cycle where Donald Trump looked very
seriously like he could take New York. Now that's playing
out now, even in the mayor's race, and we'll see
that's gonna be the showdown. I'm wondering if by the
time that race and were weeks away, if Donald Trump
(25:04):
even begins to campaign for a Democrat mayor in New York.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
But what about New Jersey?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
The Garden State was another uncomfortable close win for the Democrats,
too close for comfort, with Vice President Kamala Harris carrying
the state by just five points over Donald Trump. Four
years ago, Joe Biden won the state by sixteen and
four years a sixteen margin.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Down to five points.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
In twenty twenty, New Jersey Democrats had a registered voter
advantage of more than one million. By this past January,
that edge dwindled down to eight hundred and ninety six thousand.
And don't forget the voting with your feet. As these
exoduses continue, so do the electoral values for.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
These states, and so do some of the votes. So
we have to wait and see how that impacts it.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But a combination of failed liberal policies and broader demographics
shifts have some pundits suggesting New Jersey is about to
be the swing state of the future. Twenty two percent
of the state is Hispanic and the Democrats have lost
the Hispanic voting bloc. They have an inflation cost of
(26:18):
living crisis, and that's thanks to Democratic leadership in Trenton,
as well as a disastrous four years for whoever was
really running the presidency of the body and mind that
once housed Joe Biden. The state has the highest poverty
rates in the country and the third highest overall tax
burden nationwide. You can't tax your way to prosperity. You
(26:44):
can't major in minors and minor in majors, putting social
wokeness above things like schools, public safety, roads, jobs. But
in these blue states they continue to gotten away with it,
but the numbers are dwindling of their voting block. Some
(27:07):
have left with their feet, and there has been a
partisan political shift in America. So just as Ohio, Florida,
and Texas are now solid red, but once we're a
swing state twenty five years ago, Just as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Georgia look as though they're now going to be
consistently leaning red. Is New Jersey and play forget Michigan, Wisconsin,
(27:32):
is Minnesota and play he could New York be far behind?
And if all that's true, what does it say of
the Democrat's future? Never mind worldview, never mind platform, never
mind policy views, dying of failure in consequence, just in
(27:55):
reality of the makeup and the total value of electoral
votes per state. What once looked like it was headed
towards a monopoly for the Democrats? Now is there a
way for them to move forward? Even if they could
find a message and a messenger, it doesn't look good
(28:18):
from the lens of swing states. And that's our journey
of discovery for today, Friday, March the twenty eighth, and
I won on One Time Together.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. You're
just waking up.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Get those prayers flying for the rescue workers and for
all those after a powerful earthquake had been affected in Thailand.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Michael Kastner reports.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
The US Geological Survey says the magnitude seven point seven
quake hit around midday local time near Mandalay in central
me and mar It was followed by a powerful aftershock.
There's been no word yet of damage in Mandalay, but
some six hundred miles to the south, the earthquake had
building swaying in the city of Bangkok. Residents we're rushing
(29:01):
out into the streets. Videos on social media show a
high rise under construction north of Bangkok collapsing into a
pile of rubble, sending people running to escape the billowing
cloud of dust. I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I think the most breathtaking visual was a high rise
residential and the pool is literally emptying as the building
is shaking.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Just lots of prayers needed in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The FAA is telling Congress it must do more to
ensure flying remains safe after that mid air collision in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
The agency's Actor administrator, Chris Rushlo, told a Senate hearing
on Thursday, we have to get smarter about how we
use data.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Something was missed at the DCA crash. I take that seriously.
I take that upon myself.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Investigators have highlighted eighty five close calls around Reagan Airport
over three years before the crash, but Russlo admits the
alarming trend was missed.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I'm Mark meehew.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
A partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of
the US this weekend.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
NASA says the eclipse will be visible from the Washington,
DC area to eastern Canada, with main getting the best view.
The eclipse will begin before sunrise on the East coast
and end around seven am. Viewers are worn to wear
protective glasses when viewing the eclipse. If you miss this one,
the next partial eclipse in North America happens in August
of twenty twenty six. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Well, the headline for this one could be no, you
know what sherlock.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
But a new report says people are paying more for
housing than ever before, in interest rates and in home cost.
National correspondent Roory O'Neil has the story. Good morning, Rory,
Hey there, Michael right.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
This report from Redfinn tells us that for people that
bought a house in the past year, they have the
highest housing payment each month than ever before two thousand,
eight hundred and seven dollars a month on average, in
large part because, as you laid out, the price of
the house is up and the price of the mortgage
is up. You know, we did see mortgages top seven
(30:52):
percent back in January. Those numbers have been coming down
a little bit, but you know, long term historical prospect
these mortgage rates are about average, but we got so
spoiled of the past oh fifteen twenty years or so,
we think these rates are crazy high.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And I'm not bragging, but you know, I locked in
at two point I think seven percent, So I'm going
to hang on to that like a vowel on the
wheel of fortune. But you know it's worthy of note
that new number is twenty seven hundred whatever a month
for less house than ever before. It's not just the
most we've ever paid, but for the least potentially. And
(31:30):
we all know what the solution is. The interest rates
have to come down. That's going to take a while
for the economy to recover. But we also need to build.
I mean, you know, supply demand. We need more supply,
and we need more entry level supply.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
In particular, you know that by some estimates, we're about
five million housing units short This really dates back to
the Great Recession, and we're still haven't worked our way
out of that because home building really stopped after that.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It was getting back on its speed boom.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Here comes along COVID, So it's been a one two
punch and then builders have been focusing on I'm building
those high end.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Eight bedroom homes because there's.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
A lot of profit to be made, but we need
more of those fifteen hundred square foot three bedroom simple
houses that are the starter houses for so many.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You know, Roy works all week long and that's just
not enough for him, so he has to do a
weekend show.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
What's coming up this weekend? Oh, nothing going on this week? Yeah,
just ho hum.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
But also taking a look at that Medal of Honor
museum that opened up this week in Arlington, Texas. I
talked to one Medal of Honor recipient, only sixty one
of them still are alive.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
And also the guy who's behind the museum that just
opened up.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
So it's a new attraction there in Arlington, Texas that
I'm anxious to see.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's the Weekend Dive.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You can hear it on many iHeartRadio stations, or you
can hear it on demand on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Great work all week Ory, we'll talk next week. Have
a great weekend. We're all in this together. This is
