Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is your Morning Show with Michael o'dill.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Chorna seven minutes after the hour, on this Tuesday, the
first of April, year of our Lord, twenty twenty five,
April Pool's Day. Though we don't play those games, credibility
is too important, we do have big elections Wisconsin on
the Supreme Court side Florida two vacant seats by Gates
and Waltz, with the part of the country waiting in
the wings. And as I mentioned earlier, I am a
(00:50):
little sleepy. I've been binging House of David on Prime.
Turns out I have a House of David of my own.
Let's start with David and Tulsa. Can you give the
email address again? I've tried sending a couple of emails
and they come back is undelivered. I think I'm sending
them wrong. Well, I can't figure out exactly how. It's
pretty easy, Michael D. My name is Michael del Jorno.
(01:11):
So we just do the D d as and dog.
So m I C H A E L D Michael
D at iHeartMedia dot com. Maybe you're not doing the media.
iHeart is I H E A R T media. That's
correct dot Com. Next up is David and Phoenix. Hey.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
More important than the total number of border crossings dropping
is just the simple policy change of catch and release.
The Trump administration is not releasing those individuals into the
country but returning them.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah. Great, point one hundred and thirteen thousand arrests in
just a little over two months, one hundred thousand deportations
just over two months, and border crossings down from fifty
six thousand to seven thousand, and no catch and release.
That's a promise made, promise, promise made and being kept
by Donald Trump. The other big promise, of course, was
the economy, and some of that was lowering inflation, lowering
(02:06):
cost of living, and the tariffs in the long run
would work, but it would create some temporary pain. So
that's problematic. And the other big promise is if I
were president, Potin would have never invaded Ukraine and I
will end this war. Well, you've got the Zelensky side
of things, where the earth minerals is being a little
(02:27):
bit renigged on. On the Russian side, you've got Vladimir
Putin not trusting Zelensky and viewing him with credibility, kind
of something Donald Trump did a week and a half ago,
but continuing to bomb. So the question becomes, this is
one of the three big eaes for Donald Trump. Is
he hitting a few bumps in the road in the
Ukrainian peace process? Or is this deal starting to fall apart.
(02:53):
James Karafondo, our lieutenant colonel, is still out of the country.
But doctor Jim Robbins were thrilled to have with us.
He's the dean of academics at the Institute of World
Politics IWP, and we want to talk a little bit
about this. So, Jim, from your perspective, I mean, obviously
these negotiations were going to be tough, and we knew
there'd be bumps in the road. Are we looking at
a bump in a road or are we looking at
a deal that's blowing up.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, good morning, Michael. I think that it's more.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Of a bump in the road because they're just really
getting down to brass tacks on these negotiations, trying to
get things settled with the mineral deal.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
We have a new proposal about how that will be managed.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
I mean a highly detailed me Unikay went to Ukraine
about how that's supposed to work. So, yes, they're pushing
back a little bit on that, and they want more
security guarantees that their long term objective is to get
into NATO's so they're kind of sticking to what they
see as their long term goal. And now Trump is
pushing back on that, saying that's not part of the picture.
(03:51):
We didn't agree to that. So you know, they're just
going back and forth right now.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So Jim, I assume you're probably coming from the same perspective.
Eye in the NATO is off the table. He's not
going to get it. The mineral rights deal is as
much about getting some money back from all we've invested
in Ukraine because we need those minerals, but primarily to
get our interest there and to get us there because
that's where your security assurance comes from so they go
(04:18):
hand in hand. If you really want, you know, the
assurance that we're going to you know, hold foot into
this and be there to protect you, well, then you
might want to embrace this minerals idea quickly.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Oh right, it's a building process.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
So, I mean the idea is that we get in there,
we start developing these minerals, mining, what have you. We
have economic ties to Ukraine, we have people there right
doing this, and that that develops into security guarantees. It
develops into deterrence for Russia because they don't want to
attack if Americans are there, and so the Ukrainian should
(04:55):
take more of a long term view of that.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Their thinking is, no, it's more of a.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Me idi term thing because the Russians are already occupying
part of our country and I mean they just they
obviously don't trust Putin or should they, and they would
like to see something a little more substantial. Remember when
Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons back in the nineties,
we signed a deal with them saying yes, we'll help you,
you know, we'll have deterrence, we'll secure you. But that
(05:20):
never came to pass. So they're a little wary of
all this.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
All right, there's no question bumps in the road on
the Ukrainian side. What about the Russian side? I mean,
this is the heaviest of the lifting. It appears as
though Vladimir Putin can't be under the belief that he's
won or can win. It's not going well, it's not
on a trajectory to go well. At first, I thought, well,
he just needs something to help him show him the
(05:44):
exit and give him something to save face with at home.
But is it more complicated than even that.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Well, I think it's a little more complicated because from
Putin's point of view, he's winning. I mean, he's occupying
vast parts of Ukraine much more than they did before
this war started. Russian troops are gaining ground, you know,
little by little, but things are working in their favor
right now. Putin doesn't really care how many people he kills.
(06:14):
You know, he's just throwing people in this meat grinder.
You know, he's getting troops in North Korea throwing them
in there too. I mean, you know, they're just the
casualty rates are horrendous, but he doesn't care because he's
a traditional, you know, leader in the mold of Stalin,
right They do the human way of attacks that empty
their prisons out and just throw people at the front.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
So he would rather just see Russians die to.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Kill Ukrainians, because Ukrainians really do care how many people
they're losing, and you know, they have a lot fewer
people to.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
He seems to genuinely care.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, yeah, he does too. He would like to see
the killing stops. So from Putin's point of view, he
can kind of keep this thing going and to see
what happens. So he's not really in a hurry to
get a deal. If the war ended today, with the
lines where they are today, I think Putin would say
that they did a good job and we'll see you
(07:08):
again in ten years or whenever. You know, Russia's pursuing
a long term strategy with Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
So from Putin's point of view, he actually.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Holds a number of important cards right now, and I
think he's willing to kind of hold Trump at arm's
length a little bit and say, well, let's not rush
into this.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well. Doctor Jim Robbins, by the way, dean of academics
at the Institute of World Politics the IWP, joining us
on bumps in the road versus deal blowing up. We
believe it's bumps in the road, all right for Putin,
he doesn't get status quo. That's not an option. I mean,
presuming things work out with Zelenski and Ukraine, we're going
to have a presence there. You don't get to go
(07:47):
back to that. You don't get to seek more land.
But the other thing is this trajectory towards a world
war and the sanctions that are going to come from
Putin not complying. I mean, are they really willing to
take all these hits to keep this going forward? I
guess well, that's the art of the deal, right, That.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Is the art of the deal. And the question is
how many hits of a taken so far? I mean,
from Putin's point of view, the Western sanctions haven't been
as devastating as we would like. He's got China as
a backdoor to export oil, and this is one of
the reasons why the new sanctions regime that President Trump
is talking about would target those who purchased Russian oil,
(08:28):
so that even if they were kind of getting it
out through China, we're selling it to the Chinese, that
then sanctions would redound to whoever's cooperating with Russia and
that might make more of a difference, that might hurt
the Russian economy because so far they're not really feeling
the kind of pain that we would like to see
enough to compel them to do what we want to do.
So that's why they're talking about a new round of
(08:49):
sanctions and perhaps a deadline on the initial round of negotiations.
They're saying April twentieth, perhaps to try to get something
concrete going and not just keep dragging this out.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So we see this with the Hutis and Hamas that's
a proxy war with Iran. We see this with the
alliance with Russia and China and Iran and North Korea.
I mean, beyond even the war itself, in what's at
stake in Ukraine and where Russia might go next. And
I think ultimately, if he had his dream, he'd reassemble
the old Russian Empire map more so than even the
(09:23):
Soviet Union. But well, those alliances, they're getting uglier and
uglier in it as they play out in this too, right,
Oh sure.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I mean when we see China holding these major drills
around Taiwan which are going on right now, I mean
that's a signal saying there are only so many degrees
of freedom in this thing. The US can't commit everywhere
to everything. So while we're building up forces in the
Middle East and we're starting to threaten Iran, so then
we see movement in China.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You know, Russia can.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Putin just said he's going to draft one hundred and
sixty thousand more groups. The Iranians are threatening. I mean,
this is crazy, but they're threatening a preemptive strike on
our on our b two bombers that are at the
British base of Diego, Garcia and the Indian Ocean. I mean,
that would be suicide. But the fact is they're threatening it, right,
So you know this, this access of aggressors is pushing
(10:18):
back against us in various ways.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
And if they if they all do it at once,
it makes things very complicated for us.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Are we at a crossroads where this Cold World War,
the alliance I just laid out Russia, Iran, North Korea,
China versus the world. Are we at a point where
this could go cold and stay cold? In other words,
we get this peace deal or start getting hotter and
hotter if we don't.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Well, good question.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
President Trump's trying to cool it down. It's going to
heat up before it cools down. I mean we're seeing
that right now. So you know, it's hard to say.
You know, World War One nobody expected, but it was
a questioning of you know, two alliance structures kept hardening
against each other until price is set, it all off.
(11:04):
So we hope we wouldn't see something like that. And
I don't think that's what President Trump would like, obviously.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's an interesting question.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I would hope that the cooler heads would prevail. But
there is a limit to what we can do just
with force and with bluster. You know, we can't bomb
away into peace. So we need some clever negotiation going
on right now, and I.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Think we're seeing that. I think it's definitely a possibility.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So to answer the big question of the day, are
these bumps in the road or is the deal blowing up?
You see it as bumps in the road.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Oh, definitely bumps in the road.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I mean, this is just all part of the part
of the deal, just the negotiating strategies starting to play out.
I mean, we're really at the start of the process.
Whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's in the Middle East,
We will just have to wait and see, but definitely
I wouldn't see that there's.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
A war coming, Doctor Jim Robins, so great to meet
you by phone. Dan of Academics at the Institute of
World Politics the IWP, Thank you so much for your
insights in your time today.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Doctor.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Thanks Michael, my pleasure.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's your morning show with Michael Delchano.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He's are your top five stories of the day. President
Trump expecting five trillion dollars in US investments after the
tariffs take effect on what he's calling Liberation Day tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
On Wednesday, new reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect
against Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Because that word reciprocal is very important. What they do
to us we do to them.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
The Whitehouse says that will undo decades of those powers
taking advantage of the US. The tariffs are mainly targeted
at cars and car parts manufactured outside of the US.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Our Mark Matfield. Now they either cave and lower their
tariffs victory Trump, or we hold ours into place and
the manufacturing jobs move here. Win in the long run.
Does America you have the stomach to suffer a little
bit to win? In the long run, although the art
of the deal is they're not likely to have to
suffer very long because these countries would have to ultimately cave.
(13:09):
We'll see that's playing out in real time. The two
NASA astronauts who spent nine months aboard the International Space
Station unexpectedly are thankful to be home, and they're not
pointing fingers.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
NASA SpaceX crew nine, Sonny Williams and which Wilmore, had
to stay on the ISS a lot longer than expected
after the Boeing Starliner spacecraft was deemed unsafe to return in.
Speaking from the Johnson Space Center at the first news
conference with crew nine, Wilmore was asked if he had
any weird sensations when splashing down after being in space.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
I can tell you that returning from space to or
through the atmosphere inside of a three thousand degree fireball
of plasma is weird.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's how you look at it.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Both Williams and Wilmore thanked the Nation for carrying ALESA.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Taylor. Gruesome details of Gene Hackman's death will not be
made public thanks to a judge. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 11 (13:56):
A judge in New Mexico has denied the release of
certain court records that show the bodies of Gene Hackman
and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, at the request of the
couple's estate. The records also included an autopsy report. Officials
say Arakawa and Hackman died inside their home in February.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm Brian Shook. A recent study finds that a lack
of sleep can lead to an increased risk of developing
Alzheimer's disease. Michael Castner has more.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
The neurodegenerative disease is responsible for about seventy percent of
dementia cases. The lead author of the study from Yale's
School of Medicine says if the brain doesn't spend sufficient
time in deep sleep and rapid eye movement phases, it
can lead to shrinkages in certain parts of the brain,
affecting specific functions over time. Adults typically need up to
(14:46):
eight hours of sleep a night. I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Well, someone who bought a powerball ticket in Anaheim, California,
not me, just got a whole lot richer.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
The jackpot winning ticket, sold at a seven eleven is
worth an estimated five hundred and twent twenty six point
five million dollars the story. That's a bonus of one
million dollars. We're selling the winning ticket. Saturday, mark the
first time someone has won the Powerball jackpot since January.
The winning numbers were twenty one, seven, eleven, sixty one,
and fifty three.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The power ball number was two. I'm Mark Mayfield. That's
a lot of slurpiece birthdays today. Lady A's Hillary Scott
is thirty nine from the movie Love Story. Actress Ali
McGraw's eighty six, and my wife and I like this.
It's just mindless, feel good. Virgin Rivers actress Annett o'tooles
(15:36):
seventy three years old today. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We are so glad you were born. Thanks for making
us a part of your big day. At your morning show.
This is Richard from Clovilla, Georgia, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Torna. Hey, it's
(15:57):
me Michael. Your morning show can be heard live five
to eight a eight. I'm Central six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and We're grateful you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. This
is your morning show. Jeffrey's got control of the sound.
Red not wearing red, but keeping an eye on the content,
(16:19):
and I'm happy to serve you. We were just talking
about birthdays and Ali McGraw and I did not know
this till Red said this. But Ali McGraw was in convoy.
This this kind of brings up potentially America's most embarrassing time.
It was one thing when a lot of us that
(16:40):
weren't real cowboys during urban Cowboys started buying boots. Remember
I got a cowboy boot to put my lighter in
you and let me say her cowboy boots. But how
about when we all went and got on CBS to
try to sound like this breaker. I remember sitting in
the front doing it. Baker, you got your ears on.
(17:04):
I mean, can you imagine if we could go back
and listen to that. How stupid we sounded, all trying
to sound like truckers. I had the forty five For
those that are old enough to realize what that is,
the Convoy song. Oh he came from the movie. Yeah,
c W McCoy, what was his name? C W mc
call McCaw that was it. Yeah, convoy, I don't know
a lot. And Bert Young from the Rocky Movies was
(17:27):
also in that. I had four cousins who were truckers.
I lived it. Yeah, well, I'll never forget. We went
and saw that movie at the theater for one two.
Dad bought a CB and put it in the car,
and I remember we would go out in the driveway
and just you know, it was basically the same way
we did prank phone calls, only we were doing it
(17:47):
on a CB radio. And then every now and then
we would but you know, we all tried to talk
like I mean, that's what I think made it embarrassing.
If we just got on there and go Hi, I'm
just a kid from Arrington Height. No, but we were
all like trying to use that voice.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
I guess that's the sound of the day when this
is the news, and that's why more people are watching
the cartoon Networks lunch Robbery runs right now.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I'm a big ad democratic.
Speaker 13 (18:11):
This is like a goldstorm, always revealing government, damn often entertaining.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
It's your sounds of the day. Well, if you think
people are irrationally hating Elon Musk, now imagine After this,
this came up in like a town hall meeting in
Elon Musk basically asking the same questions we've been asking,
how do these people get to Congress? They have no money,
(18:38):
they're earning around two hundred thousand dollars a year, but
they have to keep two homes, one in their home
district and then one in the most expensive area, the Washington,
DC area, and they all leave twenty plus millionaires.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
How does this happen?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress.
Speaker 14 (18:58):
Where I just can't I'm trying to connect the dots
of how do they become rich well earning? How they
get twenty million if they're earning two hundred thousand a
year sounds that's not how Nobody can explain that. So
something's yeah, we're going to try to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
If they're finding NGO abuse, waste overspending, fraud, and that's
got everybody attacking Tesla's he starts going after these corrupt
members of Congress and how they're getting rich. As Red said,
I sure hope he doesn't get himself killed. This was
(19:42):
an interesting conversation between Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA
and Lower Ingram like this is something new, the left
getting violent. Hopefully you know better listening to the show.
But Ifloor is going to ask Charlie the question, why
(20:02):
all of a sudden are they getting so violent and
obsessed with Musk and taking it out on innocent car owners.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
But now that Elon Musk has decided to use his
fame and most importantly, his fortune to uncover the hundreds
of billions of dollars of waste and to support President Trump,
they have now unleashed the hordes of left wing activists
after Tesla owners, dealerships, workers, even cheering on the decline
of the Tesla stock So President Trump and Elon Musk
(20:30):
being class traders and formally friendly with the left, boy,
that animates them because they're trying to say, to the example,
you are not allowed to leave the ranks of high
society left wing FLA.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, this is new tolerance. It's not about that they
were once and it's relevant. I mean, Elon Musk was
their poster child. You take their environmental agenda of redistribution
of wealth and control and you may make it technologically possible.
(21:02):
Oh you're the jolly good fellow. But now you're going
after our money laundering, the way we've really been running
and funding our administrative stay.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
But this violent side and intolerance of the left is
not new. They don't want tolerance, they don't even want acceptance.
They want validation, and they want compliance and conformity and control.
And you're threatening that now. If they planned an insurrection,
(21:41):
if they couldn't get the shadow campaign to work and
throw Trump out of office, you don't think they would
plan an insurrection again translation, They've always been violent, they
always will be violent. They're the insurrectionist as Slolensky. What
(22:02):
they're accusing you of doing is a confession of what
they're doing. Now. It is fun to catch him in
the act. A tesla owner found out the person that
scratched with a key a swastika in his tesla, identified
him through Facebook, and then confronted him. What you get
to hear is a man that is about to realize
(22:23):
he is now a domestic terrorist and his business and
his life for being a pawn in this game has
just been ruined. Listen, a free service.
Speaker 15 (22:33):
Free service. How about you pay for the repairs? You
just want a test? I can wipe it off now.
No it's not it is a heat crime. Did you
write a swastika on I'm sorry you're upset? Did you
write it didn't even work?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Apparently?
Speaker 15 (22:50):
Did you write a swastika on the it's a key, sir,
we see it on the video?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Y did is it?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Have you looked at.
Speaker 12 (23:01):
Is it?
Speaker 15 (23:03):
It's at the police right now, it's being fingerprinted?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
What do you mean it's being fingerprinted?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Did you notice first it went from being a crayon,
it's not a key. I was just putting my keys
in the pocket. And then he goes, it's a key
the police. It's at the police department, their fingerprinting. Watch
the difference in his tone.
Speaker 15 (23:25):
Is it asta?
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Is it?
Speaker 15 (23:32):
It's at the police right now, it's being fingerprinted.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
What do you mean it's being fingerprinted?
Speaker 15 (23:37):
Because they're trying to track you down.
Speaker 16 (23:39):
Thankfully Facebook tracked you down, so your business, your freaking livelihood,
everything down because you chose to write a so tough
Facebook that you're sorry for writing a swastika on a
test Listen.
Speaker 17 (23:53):
I said, I'm sorry for what I have nothing against
you are and I have nothing against.
Speaker 15 (23:59):
You, so why would you write a swastika?
Speaker 17 (24:03):
Obviously I have something against Elon and Musk.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
But that's not just.
Speaker 15 (24:08):
Because it was so, it was bought and paid for
a long time.
Speaker 17 (24:12):
That's why it's misguided. And obviously I did not intend
to do this.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, well, obviously you're going to get prosecuted. I love
this moment and I'm not going to talk at all,
So it's a little awkward on a show like this,
but I'm going to let all two minutes roll. This
is Bill Maher talking with Gavin Newsom. I don't believe
the Democrats have a deep bench, but if they do,
some people would think he's the deep end of the bench.
(24:36):
Something Red said a long time ago that they're not
going to be able to get around even if they pivot.
And Gavin Newsom's trying to pivot. Is anyone going to
believe him because they simply have no credibility, not even
amongst themselves. Watch what Gavin's trying to sell and how
he can't even get it by Bill Maher.
Speaker 15 (24:57):
I mean this idea that we can't even have a
conversation the other side.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You have to they want thank you, and then I
say a bottom line and by the way, or the notion,
we just have to continue to talk to ourselves or
win the same damn echo chamber. These guys are crushing us.
The Democratic brand is toxic right now. We had a
high water mark two weeks ago, and that was a
CNN pull at twenty nine percent favorability. It's dropped in
(25:20):
the NBC pulled down at twenty seven percent. It's one
thing to make noise, but you also have to make sense.
And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity
to dialogue with people I disagree with, it's an opportunity
to try.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
To find common ground and not take cheap shots.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I'm not looking to put a spoke in the wheel
of their or at least the crowbar and the spokes
of their wheel to trip them. To your point, and
I think it's important Democrats will tend to be a
little more judgmental than we should be. This notion of
cancel culture, you've been living it, You've been on the
receiving end of it for years and years and years.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
That's where you Democrats need to own up to that.
They've got to mature.
Speaker 13 (25:53):
So about this, So what do you say to people
who say, well, this sounds all very good, but Governor,
and you were the poster boy for a lot of
this stuff I see today the Trump administration is they
talked about I know if this is true, but they
talked about the fact that California had a rule that
schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids
(26:16):
in school have changed their gender, their pronouns. That's the
kind of thing, even though it doesn't affect a lot
of people, that makes a lot of people go, well,
you know what, that's the Party without common sense.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Now, if that's your state, how are you are you?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was
you would be fired. A teacher would be fired if
a teacher did not report a snitch on a kid
talking about their gender identity. I just think that was wrong.
I think teachers should teach. I don't think they should
be required to turn in kids. And by the way,
turning that we're talking about their parents canitch.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
The idea of a snitch and a parent to me,
doesn't compe I just I don't.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
But what is the job of a teacher.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's to teach.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
If Johnny's talking about some identity issue or some issue
about liking someone of the same sex, is that the
teacher's job to then rule or that, by the way,
in this law, the teacher can still do they don't.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
They don't mind the teacher's indoctrinating your children. Teachers should teach, teach.
What are they socializing our children? Are they indoctrinating our children?
Are they teaching reading, writing, arithmetic?
Speaker 7 (27:25):
What a joke?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
But the reason I play that if you can't get
it by Bell Maher, how are you going to get
it by the independence, the establishment Democrats or any crossover Republicans.
You won't. We just played this because this is Leslie
stall in sixty minutes, and they just they can't. They
don't have control of the narrative any more. Journalism is dead,
(27:50):
but doesn't stop them from trying. And she just can't
get this freed Israeli hostage to do anything that she wants.
And he won't stop giving the credit to Donald Trump.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
What's it Phoebus's first interview, He chose an American outlet.
Speaker 15 (28:10):
He said, so the White House would hear his message.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
If you could say something to President Trump, what would
you say.
Speaker 15 (28:19):
Please stop stop this wall and help help bring all
those back.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
And you think he can help.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
I know he can help.
Speaker 15 (28:28):
I'm here because of Trump I'm here only because of him.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think he's the only one who can.
Speaker 15 (28:34):
Stop this wall again.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
So you think he can bring about another cease fire.
Speaker 15 (28:39):
He has to pleaniel this Hamas.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I think you can do it.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, okay, Joe Biden's president, nothing Bbnetna, who was
there before and during? How do you rivee at any
other conclusion than the difference is Donald Trump and that's
a to CBS and Leslie Stall and that is yours.
(29:03):
Sounds sound.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
Joking.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
That was just complete, not a local colocal.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Alright, this is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Hooters files for bankruptcy. President Trump expects five trillion dollars
in US investments once his tariffs take effect tomorrow on
Liberation Day. Two big votes Wisconsin, a Supreme Court vote
and Florida with two vacant seats in the House. One
Waltz's one gates his power of the nation. Maybe it's
take and it's April Fool's Day. Believe not anything you
(29:50):
read or hear at face value. You could be getting pranked.
With the history of April Fool's Day and uh maybe
some of the best pranks ever. Here's Rory O'Neil. Good morning, Yeah,
good morning.
Speaker 18 (30:01):
I love the meme going around saying don't believe anything
you read on the internet today or any other Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
So that's the message going out.
Speaker 18 (30:11):
We think that this whole April Fool's Day thing started
back in the fifteen hundreds in France when they switched
from the Julian calendar. That meant you would have started
the new year after the equinox, the vernal equinox, to
the Gregorian calendar when we start now in January, and
that people who were celebrating New Year's in April they
were the April fools because they didn't get word of
(30:33):
the calendar shifted.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That I got on a rabbit hole yesterday. Of old expressions.
I find this one of the most interesting things you
can do, these old expressions that we use every day.
The date back you know, baby with the bath water,
I mean back in the old days with poor people.
So the dad went first, then the mom, and then
(30:57):
the oldest child and the last. The youngest child was
last to bathe in the water'd be so dirty. You
couldn't even see the kid, and you could throw the
baby out with the bathwater. But I did the one
on pe poor. You know, we use that expression, and
that's because poor people at one time used to sell
their urine and then if they didn't have a bucket to, yeah,
(31:19):
a pot to, you know what. But these are fascinating,
But so that's how. And then you were in April
fool if you were a moron and thinking it was
New Year's So I didn't know that, But that's not
what it's become.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Right.
Speaker 18 (31:30):
Some of the pranking stuff then relates more to spring
festivals in ancient times, and this historians think the hilaria
in ancient Rome sort of may have grown into this
thing of doing stupid stuff with whoope cushions. Of course,
now it's much more of a corporate thing where companies
try to make this a publicity stunt. We had the
Taco Bell, bought the Liberty Bell back in nineteen ninety
(31:52):
six for the Taco Liberty Bell. Nineteen ninety eight, Burger
King had the left handed whopper, and of course twenty
eighteen International House of Pancakes I hop changed I hob
when they were trying to sell Burgers is the International
House of Burgers.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, most people see them coming a mile away. I
mean it's hard to pull one off on April first.
Speaker 18 (32:14):
My favorite nineteen fifty seven BBC black and white footage
is out there.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Go google BBC.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
On this one.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
In April fools.
Speaker 18 (32:23):
They reported in nineteen fifty seven that Swiss farmers were
having a record crop of spaghetti. It's a two and
a half minute video, black and white. The women in
handkerchiefs pulling the noodles off of trees, laying them out
to dry in the sun.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
How they're packaged and grown. Have you ever gotten personally
fool Dead series?
Speaker 18 (32:43):
Probably a little, but then like you sort of go, oh,
wait a minute, sort of like one half to step in.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I don't have any you know, I was thinking, because
we knew we would talk about this, I couldn't think
of any All I could think of was that one
talk show host who thought it was a good idea
to fake a Suicide's that's a dumb thing to do. Job,
and that's why I don't play around with it. But
I can't even think of anybody that really got me
good on an April Fool's Day.
Speaker 18 (33:06):
And I had one, well, we had two in Providence
on two different hosts different times. One said the city
was closed for the day, so all the city workers
didn't have to go in, so that got them a
lot of trouble. Another one an old guy and old established, old, old, old,
like he's the salt of the earth. Guy said that
there were zebra muscles in the water system they had
to couldn't use any water that morning.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
And the famous War of the World's was not released
on April Fool's Day. All right, roy O Neil, great
reporting as always, We're talking again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michaelden Hill Show and no
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is your Morning Show with Michael o'dill.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Chorna seven minutes after the hour, on this Tuesday, the
first of April, year of our Lord, twenty twenty five,
April Pool's Day. Though we don't play those games, credibility
is too important, we do have big elections Wisconsin on
the Supreme Court side Florida two vacant seats by Gates
and Waltz, with the part of the country waiting in
the wings. And as I mentioned earlier, I am a
(00:50):
little sleepy. I've been binging House of David on Prime.
Turns out I have a House of David of my own.
Let's start with David and Tulsa. Can you give the
email address again? I've tried sending a couple of emails
and they come back is undelivered. I think I'm sending
them wrong. Well, I can't figure out exactly how. It's
pretty easy, Michael D. My name is Michael del Jorno.
(01:11):
So we just do the D d as and dog.
So m I C H A E L D Michael
D at iHeartMedia dot com. Maybe you're not doing the media.
iHeart is I H E A R T media. That's
correct dot Com. Next up is David and Phoenix. Hey.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
More important than the total number of border crossings dropping
is just the simple policy change of catch and release.
The Trump administration is not releasing those individuals into the
country but returning them.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah. Great, point one hundred and thirteen thousand arrests in
just a little over two months, one hundred thousand deportations
just over two months, and border crossings down from fifty
six thousand to seven thousand, and no catch and release.
That's a promise made, promise, promise made and being kept
by Donald Trump. The other big promise, of course, was
the economy, and some of that was lowering inflation, lowering
(02:06):
cost of living, and the tariffs in the long run
would work, but it would create some temporary pain. So
that's problematic. And the other big promise is if I
were president, Potin would have never invaded Ukraine and I
will end this war. Well, you've got the Zelensky side
of things, where the earth minerals is being a little
(02:27):
bit renigged on. On the Russian side, you've got Vladimir
Putin not trusting Zelensky and viewing him with credibility, kind
of something Donald Trump did a week and a half ago,
but continuing to bomb. So the question becomes, this is
one of the three big eaes for Donald Trump. Is
he hitting a few bumps in the road in the
Ukrainian peace process? Or is this deal starting to fall apart.
(02:53):
James Karafondo, our lieutenant colonel, is still out of the country.
But doctor Jim Robbins were thrilled to have with us.
He's the dean of academics at the Institute of World
Politics IWP, and we want to talk a little bit
about this. So, Jim, from your perspective, I mean, obviously
these negotiations were going to be tough, and we knew
there'd be bumps in the road. Are we looking at
a bump in a road or are we looking at
a deal that's blowing up.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, good morning, Michael. I think that it's more.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Of a bump in the road because they're just really
getting down to brass tacks on these negotiations, trying to
get things settled with the mineral deal.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
We have a new proposal about how that will be managed.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
I mean a highly detailed me Unikay went to Ukraine
about how that's supposed to work. So, yes, they're pushing
back a little bit on that, and they want more
security guarantees that their long term objective is to get
into NATO's so they're kind of sticking to what they
see as their long term goal. And now Trump is
pushing back on that, saying that's not part of the picture.
(03:51):
We didn't agree to that. So you know, they're just
going back and forth right now.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So Jim, I assume you're probably coming from the same perspective.
Eye in the NATO is off the table. He's not
going to get it. The mineral rights deal is as
much about getting some money back from all we've invested
in Ukraine because we need those minerals, but primarily to
get our interest there and to get us there because
that's where your security assurance comes from so they go
(04:18):
hand in hand. If you really want, you know, the
assurance that we're going to you know, hold foot into
this and be there to protect you, well, then you
might want to embrace this minerals idea quickly.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Oh right, it's a building process.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
So, I mean the idea is that we get in there,
we start developing these minerals, mining, what have you. We
have economic ties to Ukraine, we have people there right
doing this, and that that develops into security guarantees. It
develops into deterrence for Russia because they don't want to
attack if Americans are there, and so the Ukrainian should
(04:55):
take more of a long term view of that.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Their thinking is, no, it's more of a.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Me idi term thing because the Russians are already occupying
part of our country and I mean they just they
obviously don't trust Putin or should they, and they would
like to see something a little more substantial. Remember when
Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons back in the nineties,
we signed a deal with them saying yes, we'll help you,
you know, we'll have deterrence, we'll secure you. But that
(05:20):
never came to pass. So they're a little wary of
all this.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
All right, there's no question bumps in the road on
the Ukrainian side. What about the Russian side? I mean,
this is the heaviest of the lifting. It appears as
though Vladimir Putin can't be under the belief that he's
won or can win. It's not going well, it's not
on a trajectory to go well. At first, I thought, well,
he just needs something to help him show him the
(05:44):
exit and give him something to save face with at home.
But is it more complicated than even that.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Well, I think it's a little more complicated because from
Putin's point of view, he's winning. I mean, he's occupying
vast parts of Ukraine much more than they did before
this war started. Russian troops are gaining ground, you know,
little by little, but things are working in their favor
right now. Putin doesn't really care how many people he kills.
(06:14):
You know, he's just throwing people in this meat grinder.
You know, he's getting troops in North Korea throwing them
in there too. I mean, you know, they're just the
casualty rates are horrendous, but he doesn't care because he's
a traditional, you know, leader in the mold of Stalin,
right They do the human way of attacks that empty
their prisons out and just throw people at the front.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
So he would rather just see Russians die to.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Kill Ukrainians, because Ukrainians really do care how many people
they're losing, and you know, they have a lot fewer
people to.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
He seems to genuinely care.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, yeah, he does too. He would like to see
the killing stops. So from Putin's point of view, he
can kind of keep this thing going and to see
what happens. So he's not really in a hurry to
get a deal. If the war ended today, with the
lines where they are today, I think Putin would say
that they did a good job and we'll see you
(07:08):
again in ten years or whenever. You know, Russia's pursuing
a long term strategy with Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
So from Putin's point of view, he actually.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Holds a number of important cards right now, and I
think he's willing to kind of hold Trump at arm's
length a little bit and say, well, let's not rush
into this.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well. Doctor Jim Robbins, by the way, dean of academics
at the Institute of World Politics the IWP, joining us
on bumps in the road versus deal blowing up. We
believe it's bumps in the road, all right for Putin,
he doesn't get status quo. That's not an option. I mean,
presuming things work out with Zelenski and Ukraine, we're going
to have a presence there. You don't get to go
(07:47):
back to that. You don't get to seek more land.
But the other thing is this trajectory towards a world
war and the sanctions that are going to come from
Putin not complying. I mean, are they really willing to
take all these hits to keep this going forward? I
guess well, that's the art of the deal, right, That.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Is the art of the deal. And the question is
how many hits of a taken so far? I mean,
from Putin's point of view, the Western sanctions haven't been
as devastating as we would like. He's got China as
a backdoor to export oil, and this is one of
the reasons why the new sanctions regime that President Trump
is talking about would target those who purchased Russian oil,
(08:28):
so that even if they were kind of getting it
out through China, we're selling it to the Chinese, that
then sanctions would redound to whoever's cooperating with Russia and
that might make more of a difference, that might hurt
the Russian economy because so far they're not really feeling
the kind of pain that we would like to see
enough to compel them to do what we want to do.
So that's why they're talking about a new round of
(08:49):
sanctions and perhaps a deadline on the initial round of negotiations.
They're saying April twentieth, perhaps to try to get something
concrete going and not just keep dragging this out.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So we see this with the Hutis and Hamas that's
a proxy war with Iran. We see this with the
alliance with Russia and China and Iran and North Korea.
I mean, beyond even the war itself, in what's at
stake in Ukraine and where Russia might go next. And
I think ultimately, if he had his dream, he'd reassemble
the old Russian Empire map more so than even the
(09:23):
Soviet Union. But well, those alliances, they're getting uglier and
uglier in it as they play out in this too, right,
Oh sure.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I mean when we see China holding these major drills
around Taiwan which are going on right now, I mean
that's a signal saying there are only so many degrees
of freedom in this thing. The US can't commit everywhere
to everything. So while we're building up forces in the
Middle East and we're starting to threaten Iran, so then
we see movement in China.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You know, Russia can.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Putin just said he's going to draft one hundred and
sixty thousand more groups. The Iranians are threatening. I mean,
this is crazy, but they're threatening a preemptive strike on
our on our b two bombers that are at the
British base of Diego, Garcia and the Indian Ocean. I mean,
that would be suicide. But the fact is they're threatening it, right,
So you know this, this access of aggressors is pushing
(10:18):
back against us in various ways.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
And if they if they all do it at once,
it makes things very complicated for us.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Are we at a crossroads where this Cold World War,
the alliance I just laid out Russia, Iran, North Korea,
China versus the world. Are we at a point where
this could go cold and stay cold? In other words,
we get this peace deal or start getting hotter and
hotter if we don't.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Well, good question.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
President Trump's trying to cool it down. It's going to
heat up before it cools down. I mean we're seeing
that right now. So you know, it's hard to say.
You know, World War One nobody expected, but it was
a questioning of you know, two alliance structures kept hardening
against each other until price is set, it all off.
(11:04):
So we hope we wouldn't see something like that. And
I don't think that's what President Trump would like, obviously.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's an interesting question.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I would hope that the cooler heads would prevail. But
there is a limit to what we can do just
with force and with bluster. You know, we can't bomb
away into peace. So we need some clever negotiation going
on right now, and I.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Think we're seeing that. I think it's definitely a possibility.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So to answer the big question of the day, are
these bumps in the road or is the deal blowing up?
You see it as bumps in the road.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Oh, definitely bumps in the road.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I mean, this is just all part of the part
of the deal, just the negotiating strategies starting to play out.
I mean, we're really at the start of the process.
Whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's in the Middle East,
We will just have to wait and see, but definitely
I wouldn't see that there's.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
A war coming, Doctor Jim Robins, so great to meet
you by phone. Dan of Academics at the Institute of
World Politics the IWP, Thank you so much for your
insights in your time today.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Doctor.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Thanks Michael, my pleasure.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's your morning show with Michael Delchano.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He's are your top five stories of the day. President
Trump expecting five trillion dollars in US investments after the
tariffs take effect on what he's calling Liberation Day tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
On Wednesday, new reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect
against Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Because that word reciprocal is very important. What they do
to us we do to them.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
The Whitehouse says that will undo decades of those powers
taking advantage of the US. The tariffs are mainly targeted
at cars and car parts manufactured outside of the US.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Our Mark Matfield. Now they either cave and lower their
tariffs victory Trump, or we hold ours into place and
the manufacturing jobs move here. Win in the long run.
Does America you have the stomach to suffer a little
bit to win? In the long run, although the art
of the deal is they're not likely to have to
suffer very long because these countries would have to ultimately cave.
(13:09):
We'll see that's playing out in real time. The two
NASA astronauts who spent nine months aboard the International Space
Station unexpectedly are thankful to be home, and they're not
pointing fingers.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
NASA SpaceX crew nine, Sonny Williams and which Wilmore, had
to stay on the ISS a lot longer than expected
after the Boeing Starliner spacecraft was deemed unsafe to return in.
Speaking from the Johnson Space Center at the first news
conference with crew nine, Wilmore was asked if he had
any weird sensations when splashing down after being in space.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
I can tell you that returning from space to or
through the atmosphere inside of a three thousand degree fireball
of plasma is weird.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's how you look at it.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Both Williams and Wilmore thanked the Nation for carrying ALESA.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Taylor. Gruesome details of Gene Hackman's death will not be
made public thanks to a judge. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 11 (13:56):
A judge in New Mexico has denied the release of
certain court records that show the bodies of Gene Hackman
and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, at the request of the
couple's estate. The records also included an autopsy report. Officials
say Arakawa and Hackman died inside their home in February.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm Brian Shook. A recent study finds that a lack
of sleep can lead to an increased risk of developing
Alzheimer's disease. Michael Castner has more.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
The neurodegenerative disease is responsible for about seventy percent of
dementia cases. The lead author of the study from Yale's
School of Medicine says if the brain doesn't spend sufficient
time in deep sleep and rapid eye movement phases, it
can lead to shrinkages in certain parts of the brain,
affecting specific functions over time. Adults typically need up to
(14:46):
eight hours of sleep a night. I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Well, someone who bought a powerball ticket in Anaheim, California,
not me, just got a whole lot richer.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
The jackpot winning ticket, sold at a seven eleven is
worth an estimated five hundred and twent twenty six point
five million dollars the story. That's a bonus of one
million dollars. We're selling the winning ticket. Saturday, mark the
first time someone has won the Powerball jackpot since January.
The winning numbers were twenty one, seven, eleven, sixty one,
and fifty three.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The power ball number was two. I'm Mark Mayfield. That's
a lot of slurpiece birthdays today. Lady A's Hillary Scott
is thirty nine from the movie Love Story. Actress Ali
McGraw's eighty six, and my wife and I like this.
It's just mindless, feel good. Virgin Rivers actress Annett o'tooles
(15:36):
seventy three years old today. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We are so glad you were born. Thanks for making
us a part of your big day. At your morning show.
This is Richard from Clovilla, Georgia, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Torna. Hey, it's
(15:57):
me Michael. Your morning show can be heard live five
to eight a eight. I'm Central six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and We're grateful you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. This
is your morning show. Jeffrey's got control of the sound.
Red not wearing red, but keeping an eye on the content,
(16:19):
and I'm happy to serve you. We were just talking
about birthdays and Ali McGraw and I did not know
this till Red said this. But Ali McGraw was in convoy.
This this kind of brings up potentially America's most embarrassing time.
It was one thing when a lot of us that
(16:40):
weren't real cowboys during urban Cowboys started buying boots. Remember
I got a cowboy boot to put my lighter in
you and let me say her cowboy boots. But how
about when we all went and got on CBS to
try to sound like this breaker. I remember sitting in
the front doing it. Baker, you got your ears on.
(17:04):
I mean, can you imagine if we could go back
and listen to that. How stupid we sounded, all trying
to sound like truckers. I had the forty five For
those that are old enough to realize what that is,
the Convoy song. Oh he came from the movie. Yeah,
c W McCoy, what was his name? C W mc
call McCaw that was it. Yeah, convoy, I don't know
a lot. And Bert Young from the Rocky Movies was
(17:27):
also in that. I had four cousins who were truckers.
I lived it. Yeah, well, I'll never forget. We went
and saw that movie at the theater for one two.
Dad bought a CB and put it in the car,
and I remember we would go out in the driveway
and just you know, it was basically the same way
we did prank phone calls, only we were doing it
(17:47):
on a CB radio. And then every now and then
we would but you know, we all tried to talk
like I mean, that's what I think made it embarrassing.
If we just got on there and go Hi, I'm
just a kid from Arrington Height. No, but we were
all like trying to use that voice.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
I guess that's the sound of the day when this
is the news, and that's why more people are watching
the cartoon Networks lunch Robbery runs right now.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I'm a big ad democratic.
Speaker 13 (18:11):
This is like a goldstorm, always revealing government, damn often entertaining.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
It's your sounds of the day. Well, if you think
people are irrationally hating Elon Musk, now imagine After this,
this came up in like a town hall meeting in
Elon Musk basically asking the same questions we've been asking,
how do these people get to Congress? They have no money,
(18:38):
they're earning around two hundred thousand dollars a year, but
they have to keep two homes, one in their home
district and then one in the most expensive area, the Washington,
DC area, and they all leave twenty plus millionaires.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
How does this happen?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress.
Speaker 14 (18:58):
Where I just can't I'm trying to connect the dots
of how do they become rich well earning? How they
get twenty million if they're earning two hundred thousand a
year sounds that's not how Nobody can explain that. So
something's yeah, we're going to try to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
If they're finding NGO abuse, waste overspending, fraud, and that's
got everybody attacking Tesla's he starts going after these corrupt
members of Congress and how they're getting rich. As Red said,
I sure hope he doesn't get himself killed. This was
(19:42):
an interesting conversation between Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA
and Lower Ingram like this is something new, the left
getting violent. Hopefully you know better listening to the show.
But Ifloor is going to ask Charlie the question, why
(20:02):
all of a sudden are they getting so violent and
obsessed with Musk and taking it out on innocent car owners.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
But now that Elon Musk has decided to use his
fame and most importantly, his fortune to uncover the hundreds
of billions of dollars of waste and to support President Trump,
they have now unleashed the hordes of left wing activists
after Tesla owners, dealerships, workers, even cheering on the decline
of the Tesla stock So President Trump and Elon Musk
(20:30):
being class traders and formally friendly with the left, boy,
that animates them because they're trying to say, to the example,
you are not allowed to leave the ranks of high
society left wing FLA.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, this is new tolerance. It's not about that they
were once and it's relevant. I mean, Elon Musk was
their poster child. You take their environmental agenda of redistribution
of wealth and control and you may make it technologically possible.
(21:02):
Oh you're the jolly good fellow. But now you're going
after our money laundering, the way we've really been running
and funding our administrative stay.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
But this violent side and intolerance of the left is
not new. They don't want tolerance, they don't even want acceptance.
They want validation, and they want compliance and conformity and control.
And you're threatening that now. If they planned an insurrection,
(21:41):
if they couldn't get the shadow campaign to work and
throw Trump out of office, you don't think they would
plan an insurrection again translation, They've always been violent, they
always will be violent. They're the insurrectionist as Slolensky. What
(22:02):
they're accusing you of doing is a confession of what
they're doing. Now. It is fun to catch him in
the act. A tesla owner found out the person that
scratched with a key a swastika in his tesla, identified
him through Facebook, and then confronted him. What you get
to hear is a man that is about to realize
(22:23):
he is now a domestic terrorist and his business and
his life for being a pawn in this game has
just been ruined. Listen, a free service.
Speaker 15 (22:33):
Free service. How about you pay for the repairs? You
just want a test? I can wipe it off now.
No it's not it is a heat crime. Did you
write a swastika on I'm sorry you're upset? Did you
write it didn't even work?
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Apparently?
Speaker 15 (22:50):
Did you write a swastika on the it's a key, sir,
we see it on the video?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Y did is it?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Have you looked at.
Speaker 12 (23:01):
Is it?
Speaker 15 (23:03):
It's at the police right now, it's being fingerprinted?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
What do you mean it's being fingerprinted?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Did you notice first it went from being a crayon,
it's not a key. I was just putting my keys
in the pocket. And then he goes, it's a key
the police. It's at the police department, their fingerprinting. Watch
the difference in his tone.
Speaker 15 (23:25):
Is it asta?
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Is it?
Speaker 15 (23:32):
It's at the police right now, it's being fingerprinted.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
What do you mean it's being fingerprinted?
Speaker 15 (23:37):
Because they're trying to track you down.
Speaker 16 (23:39):
Thankfully Facebook tracked you down, so your business, your freaking livelihood,
everything down because you chose to write a so tough
Facebook that you're sorry for writing a swastika on a
test Listen.
Speaker 17 (23:53):
I said, I'm sorry for what I have nothing against
you are and I have nothing against.
Speaker 15 (23:59):
You, so why would you write a swastika?
Speaker 17 (24:03):
Obviously I have something against Elon and Musk.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
But that's not just.
Speaker 15 (24:08):
Because it was so, it was bought and paid for
a long time.
Speaker 17 (24:12):
That's why it's misguided. And obviously I did not intend
to do this.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, well, obviously you're going to get prosecuted. I love
this moment and I'm not going to talk at all,
So it's a little awkward on a show like this,
but I'm going to let all two minutes roll. This
is Bill Maher talking with Gavin Newsom. I don't believe
the Democrats have a deep bench, but if they do,
some people would think he's the deep end of the bench.
(24:36):
Something Red said a long time ago that they're not
going to be able to get around even if they pivot.
And Gavin Newsom's trying to pivot. Is anyone going to
believe him because they simply have no credibility, not even
amongst themselves. Watch what Gavin's trying to sell and how
he can't even get it by Bill Maher.
Speaker 15 (24:57):
I mean this idea that we can't even have a
conversation the other side.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You have to they want thank you, and then I
say a bottom line and by the way, or the notion,
we just have to continue to talk to ourselves or
win the same damn echo chamber. These guys are crushing us.
The Democratic brand is toxic right now. We had a
high water mark two weeks ago, and that was a
CNN pull at twenty nine percent favorability. It's dropped in
(25:20):
the NBC pulled down at twenty seven percent. It's one
thing to make noise, but you also have to make sense.
And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity
to dialogue with people I disagree with, it's an opportunity
to try.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
To find common ground and not take cheap shots.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I'm not looking to put a spoke in the wheel
of their or at least the crowbar and the spokes
of their wheel to trip them. To your point, and
I think it's important Democrats will tend to be a
little more judgmental than we should be. This notion of
cancel culture, you've been living it, You've been on the
receiving end of it for years and years and years.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
That's where you Democrats need to own up to that.
They've got to mature.
Speaker 13 (25:53):
So about this, So what do you say to people
who say, well, this sounds all very good, but Governor,
and you were the poster boy for a lot of
this stuff I see today the Trump administration is they
talked about I know if this is true, but they
talked about the fact that California had a rule that
schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids
(26:16):
in school have changed their gender, their pronouns. That's the
kind of thing, even though it doesn't affect a lot
of people, that makes a lot of people go, well,
you know what, that's the Party without common sense.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Now, if that's your state, how are you are you?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was
you would be fired. A teacher would be fired if
a teacher did not report a snitch on a kid
talking about their gender identity. I just think that was wrong.
I think teachers should teach. I don't think they should
be required to turn in kids. And by the way,
turning that we're talking about their parents canitch.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
The idea of a snitch and a parent to me,
doesn't compe I just I don't.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
But what is the job of a teacher.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's to teach.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
If Johnny's talking about some identity issue or some issue
about liking someone of the same sex, is that the
teacher's job to then rule or that, by the way,
in this law, the teacher can still do they don't.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
They don't mind the teacher's indoctrinating your children. Teachers should teach, teach.
What are they socializing our children? Are they indoctrinating our children?
Are they teaching reading, writing, arithmetic?
Speaker 7 (27:25):
What a joke?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
But the reason I play that if you can't get
it by Bell Maher, how are you going to get
it by the independence, the establishment Democrats or any crossover Republicans.
You won't. We just played this because this is Leslie
stall in sixty minutes, and they just they can't. They
don't have control of the narrative any more. Journalism is dead,
(27:50):
but doesn't stop them from trying. And she just can't
get this freed Israeli hostage to do anything that she wants.
And he won't stop giving the credit to Donald Trump.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
What's it Phoebus's first interview, He chose an American outlet.
Speaker 15 (28:10):
He said, so the White House would hear his message.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
If you could say something to President Trump, what would
you say.
Speaker 15 (28:19):
Please stop stop this wall and help help bring all
those back.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
And you think he can help.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
I know he can help.
Speaker 15 (28:28):
I'm here because of Trump I'm here only because of him.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think he's the only one who can.
Speaker 15 (28:34):
Stop this wall again.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
So you think he can bring about another cease fire.
Speaker 15 (28:39):
He has to pleaniel this Hamas.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I think you can do it.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, okay, Joe Biden's president, nothing Bbnetna, who was
there before and during? How do you rivee at any
other conclusion than the difference is Donald Trump and that's
a to CBS and Leslie Stall and that is yours.
(29:03):
Sounds sound.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
Joking.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
That was just complete, not a local colocal.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Alright, this is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Hooters files for bankruptcy. President Trump expects five trillion dollars
in US investments once his tariffs take effect tomorrow on
Liberation Day. Two big votes Wisconsin, a Supreme Court vote
and Florida with two vacant seats in the House. One
Waltz's one gates his power of the nation. Maybe it's
take and it's April Fool's Day. Believe not anything you
(29:50):
read or hear at face value. You could be getting pranked.
With the history of April Fool's Day and uh maybe
some of the best pranks ever. Here's Rory O'Neil. Good morning, Yeah,
good morning.
Speaker 18 (30:01):
I love the meme going around saying don't believe anything
you read on the internet today or any other Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
So that's the message going out.
Speaker 18 (30:11):
We think that this whole April Fool's Day thing started
back in the fifteen hundreds in France when they switched
from the Julian calendar. That meant you would have started
the new year after the equinox, the vernal equinox, to
the Gregorian calendar when we start now in January, and
that people who were celebrating New Year's in April they
were the April fools because they didn't get word of
(30:33):
the calendar shifted.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That I got on a rabbit hole yesterday. Of old expressions.
I find this one of the most interesting things you
can do, these old expressions that we use every day.
The date back you know, baby with the bath water,
I mean back in the old days with poor people.
So the dad went first, then the mom, and then
(30:57):
the oldest child and the last. The youngest child was
last to bathe in the water'd be so dirty. You
couldn't even see the kid, and you could throw the
baby out with the bathwater. But I did the one
on pe poor. You know, we use that expression, and
that's because poor people at one time used to sell
their urine and then if they didn't have a bucket to, yeah,
(31:19):
a pot to, you know what. But these are fascinating,
But so that's how. And then you were in April
fool if you were a moron and thinking it was
New Year's So I didn't know that, But that's not
what it's become.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Right.
Speaker 18 (31:30):
Some of the pranking stuff then relates more to spring
festivals in ancient times, and this historians think the hilaria
in ancient Rome sort of may have grown into this
thing of doing stupid stuff with whoope cushions. Of course,
now it's much more of a corporate thing where companies
try to make this a publicity stunt. We had the
Taco Bell, bought the Liberty Bell back in nineteen ninety
(31:52):
six for the Taco Liberty Bell. Nineteen ninety eight, Burger
King had the left handed whopper, and of course twenty
eighteen International House of Pancakes I hop changed I hob
when they were trying to sell Burgers is the International
House of Burgers.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, most people see them coming a mile away. I
mean it's hard to pull one off on April first.
Speaker 18 (32:14):
My favorite nineteen fifty seven BBC black and white footage
is out there.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Go google BBC.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
On this one.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
In April fools.
Speaker 18 (32:23):
They reported in nineteen fifty seven that Swiss farmers were
having a record crop of spaghetti. It's a two and
a half minute video, black and white. The women in
handkerchiefs pulling the noodles off of trees, laying them out
to dry in the sun.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
How they're packaged and grown. Have you ever gotten personally
fool Dead series?
Speaker 18 (32:43):
Probably a little, but then like you sort of go, oh,
wait a minute, sort of like one half to step in.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I don't have any you know, I was thinking, because
we knew we would talk about this, I couldn't think
of any All I could think of was that one
talk show host who thought it was a good idea
to fake a Suicide's that's a dumb thing to do. Job,
and that's why I don't play around with it. But
I can't even think of anybody that really got me
good on an April Fool's Day.
Speaker 18 (33:06):
And I had one, well, we had two in Providence
on two different hosts different times. One said the city
was closed for the day, so all the city workers
didn't have to go in, so that got them a
lot of trouble. Another one an old guy and old established, old, old, old,
like he's the salt of the earth. Guy said that
there were zebra muscles in the water system they had
to couldn't use any water that morning.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
And the famous War of the World's was not released
on April Fool's Day. All right, roy O Neil, great
reporting as always, We're talking again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (33:35):

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
