podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
One, two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Bell John.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Allow me to be the first to say good morning
and welcome to Thursday, the seventeenth of April twenty twenty
five on the air and streaming live on your radio app.
This is the show that belongs to you. This is
your morning show. I'm Michael del Jornad, the Chairman of
the Federal Reserve, says he expects inflation to rise and
economic growth to slow down the tariffs. Speaking of the tariffs,
(01:03):
how are they affecting small business? Gwen Young is the
chief executive officer of the Women Business Collaboratives. She's going
to join us at about thirty minutes to discuss just that.
Average gas prices across the US are three dollars and
seventeen cents.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's down six cents from last week.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The Trump administration is asking the IRS to revoke Harvard
University's tax exempt status and the retail.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Sites she and and.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Timu are expecting prices to rise. And we have a
meteor shower that is ready to put on a show.
Oh wow, nothing too close. I assure you that that
wouldn't be a show. And we often talk about how
the left clearly does not have a leader, clearly does
not have a message or messenger, and needs to pivot. Well,
(01:51):
there's a lot of reasons why they need to pivot.
Take today only we wake up. The UK Supreme Court
has ruled the legal definition of a woman and it
does not include a trans Does that mean they hate
trans or does that mean common sense has hit across
the pond? Meanwhile, Donald Trump has now been forced to
(02:16):
sue Maine over trans in women's sports. Governor Mills, whose
approval rating is crashing the hill that she's choosing to
die on ignoring ninety nine percent of all women for
the one tenth of one percent and the political agenda.
(02:41):
Or look what they do with the Maryland man, not
a legal immigrant, Maryland man, not MS thirteen gang member.
I mean they make It's not like a guy in
Maryland's looking for a crab cake and he gets caught
in a net and he ends up in El Salvador.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Big mistake.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So we got an illegal immigrant, an MS thirteen gang member.
Now you find out from the court filings that have
been revealed a wife beater, and they're willing to stand
on a hill. I loved what the White House did,
although I hated sitting through it. I don't know about
anybody else, but listening to Patty Morin, I'm a very
empathetic person. I get that, and if this does it
(03:23):
doesn't strike you. You have zero empathy. So when she's
telling the story of her daughter, I'm thinking of mine.
What if my Anna was out on a walk and
somebody who broke into this country a vicious, evil criminal.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It took her.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't know if you timed it red, but it
took her about four and a half minutes just to
describe what this animal did to her daughter. Never mind,
a creator is creation sacredness of life. If I were
(04:05):
describing somebody doing this to a cat, it would be
unthinkable what he did to this human being and the
evidence left behind. Crushed her skull to the point where
she had a six square inch void in the back
of her head. Three quarter of her brains swelled out
(04:27):
of her skull. There was literally no limb that wasn't
broken or lacerated. Drugger threw, in essence a drain for
one hundred and fifty feet. There's a trail of blood
stands her up against a wall inside a tunnel, to
(04:47):
the point where the blood makes a perfect outline of
her body. I might could go on and on and
then rapes her multiple times and then strangles and kills her.
I can't say it better than this. I hate to
start the show off with the sound of the day,
(05:11):
but listen to Greg Gutfield describe the ultimate I mean,
I could go through all of these one by one.
They desperately need to pivot. Look at the hills they're
willing to die on, Look at the choices they're making,
(05:34):
what they're willing to defend, and whom they're willing to ignore.
It's breathtaking. But I can't say it better than Greg Gutfield.
Whether you're talking about more and whether you're talking about
an MS thirteen gang member who beat it like to
beat his wife. You got a member of Congress not
(05:55):
wanting to head to El salvad Or to free him.
I mean, this is nuts. Listen to Greg.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a basically you look at you look at the mother,
and then you can hear Van Hollins's words about who
the most vulnerable is. He's talking about the gang banger.
The FN Democrats. You can offer them two sides and
they can't help but pick.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The wrong one.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You know, for years we've we've dealt with unfettered illegal
immigration with consequences felt in our cities and in our morgues.
And now we stop it. And who do they side with?
And illegal with the history of violence, who beats women.
Good job, Dems, you never fail us, whether it's Antifa,
BLM Hamas, Is there any any dirt bag that you
(06:40):
won'te embrace for political reasons? And I got it. How
many traps do the Democrats and the media lead people into?
It always ends the same way the border agent whip
the migrant. Oh my god, I can't. Oh that didn't happen. Oh,
I'm sorry. Musk is a note. I'm gonna go out
(07:00):
and keep cars. Oh you're being filmed. Now you're going
to jail for twenty years. Why did you listen to them?
Transcans are real? Oh, now you find out it's just
some kind of bizarre experimentation on children.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hey there's white supremacy in the military. No, just CRT
and D. Trump is Hitler. No he's not, but he
gets shot. The p tape is real tape, the laptop
is fake. Joe Biden is as sharp as attack.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Do you notice this? How long are.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You going to put up with this crap where they
lead you down a path for a political reason and
you find out you're in quicksands?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well is beautiful rant, by the way, perfectly stated. I
just can't give him enough credit.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And I could see the anger, you know, the issues
that he's talking about, because you know, if you have
a wife, or if you have a daughter, the notion
of a gang member beating her repeatedly, it will make
you angry as they're defending them, or what Patty Mooren
lives with every day, knowing how the most precious thing
(08:05):
in her life was treated before being taken from her,
tortured frankly, but I want to go back to two
quick points, their little minor points. This is why this
party must pivot because to the end of that where
(08:29):
Greg goes, how many times are they going to take
this bait to their own demise? Not many more, is
the answer. I've got a ton of stories today, and
each one are worthy of an entire show. But the
one that cuts to the chase, the one that answers
(08:50):
Greg Guttfeld, the one that should be scaring the death
out of anybody within the Democrat Party, and as for me,
points directly to my prediction that this party will not
exist by the end of the decade. Newsweek headline, young
(09:13):
people are now overwhelmingly Republican with a very large sample
in this poll. The Yale Youth Poll shows a definite
trend of young voters gen z moving to the Republican
Party and a massive conservative shift among the youth. As
the Democrats have already lost blackmail voters, Hispanic voters, Asian voters,
(09:40):
some would suggest they're losing the working class voters. There's
losing and lost, and this loss it's like a gift
that keeps giving. They're just I can't say they're just
(10:06):
all right, come on, starting to vote. There's a lifetime
of votes coming. We talked yesterday about the generational wars
that are going on. And by the way, think of
this notion.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The youth are hearing Greg Guttfield probably better than the
forty to fifty year old that's caught in the matrix,
because they've seen this all play out in school and
it doesn't make sense. I will tell you, young people have
no problem with gays. You went too far with trance
(10:43):
and they think you're crazy. You're ignoring them. And I'm
not going to say defending the ill. I'll just say
defending the one tenth of one percent at the expense
of ninety nine point nine percent.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And kids don't get it.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't remember, for the life of me as a child,
I remember wanting to be a major league baseball player.
I remember seeing my dad on the radio and a
major market and it looked really cool. I don't remember thinking.
I remember thinking a little bit about being older someday.
You know, as boys are different than girls, we don't
(11:25):
do that I think is the answer. But do you
remember as a kid thinking about owning a home someday?
I mean, maybe a fleeting thought like, well, my house
be this nice.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I don't know. I don't even know if I had that.
I don't think boys think that way.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think I was obsessed with my sports heroes and
becoming a major league baseball player.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I really did.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I mean, I remember being ten years old in Little
league and thinking, oh, I'm ten years old.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
What do I have to be right now? At ten?
You know what I mean? Just kind of.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I mean, I was really sought to be a major
league baseball player.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I got to get in that uniform, I gotta get
in that stadium.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I got to sit in that dick. I don't think
I've ever thought of them.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But in this generation, I'm telling you what we did
yesterday with Rory. This notion that I'm never going to
make enough money to own a home, it's real, and
it's in the mind of twelve to eighteen year olds
to twenty year olds right now, and they're losing their
party over it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
So I can't point to.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Like, you know, a really like transgenderism, a real dumb
economic hill to die on. But they died on the
hill of the Border. They've died on the hill of wokeness,
and they're not letting go. And to Gutfield's point, young
Republicans are supporting young Americans rather are supporting the Republican
(12:43):
Party in greater numbers. A new poll has found and
highlighted a large divide among those thirty years and younger.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Voters.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
This is my daughters and my son, all right, so
I'm this and they narrowed it down to three years.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This is exactly. I have a s.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Eighteen getting ready to turn nineteen, and I have twin
daughters twenty getting ready to turn twenty one. Listen to
this headline voters age eighteen to twenty one. I live
with them, and we're the funhouse. So all their friends,
their entire youth have been in my home. We're the
house that the door just opens and shuts, opens and shuts.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
People are coming and going.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It's like a sitcom cast members coming on stage, going
on to day. I've been around them for all of
their eighteen to twenty one years, and by eleven point
seven points when asked who they would support in twenty
twenty six, congressional elections on almost a double digit twelve point.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Lean to Republican. This is problematic and to their future.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Voters twenty two to twenty nine favorite Democrats by six
point four percent.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
See what you see the cutoff? Now put it in reverse.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
What is an eighteen to twenty one year old scene
the twenty two to twenty nine year olds didn't see
as much of. Certainly not the Internet, but a lot
of this crazy, out of control, lack of common sense wokeness.
It's infuriating to watch. I get it, but people are
(14:25):
seeing through it and there's going to be ramifications. I
see dead people but they don't know they're dead, whether
it's the out of touch media, legacy media, or a
(14:45):
party in a two party system that was never meant
to be.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Because though I'm a pretty tough guy, but when I
heard that lady displaying what happens to her daughter, everyone
to cry.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I feel so bad for her, said Brian, and no, Claire,
thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I watched all of it and I listened. I
don't know how she stayed as composed that she did.
I I don't think there's any worse card, and I've
seen it, and I'm seeing it right now in one
friend's life. To lose a child, but to lose a
child this way, something you love so perfectly cherish, so
(15:30):
perfectly treated in a way a squirrel should never be treated.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It was. It was brilliant of the White House to do.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I mean, you know to Greg Guttfelt's statement that you
you never failed to pick the wrong side to root for.
So bring a right in front of the White House
Press corps. Let the mother tell every detail. Maybe they'll
think twice about how they report that story. It's like
(16:06):
the cheap comparison we made. It's not a Maryland man,
it's a legal immigrant from El Salvador. It wasn't accidentally
deport he was an MS thirteen gang member. Now we
find out he's a white beater to boot. That's who
they're defending.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This is Andy Hickson, formerly of Nashville, now living in Detroit, Michigan.
Thanks to iHeartRadio, my morning show is your morning show.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred wrec in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six
fifty kste in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(16:58):
us for the podcast. The Chairman of the FED says
he expects inflation to rise and economic growth to slow
down due to tariffs.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
More on that just a moment.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Average gas prices are down about six cents this month,
and the Trump administration is asking the IRS to revoke
Harvard University's tax exempt status. You know, we're talking a
lot about tariffs, and I had so many interesting questions
and I've got just the lady to answer them. She
is the CEO of the Women's Business Collaborative. Her name
(17:27):
is Gwen Young, and she joins us on the liveline.
You know, Gwen, one of the things that's hard for
businesses and small businesses are the majority of our business
is uncertainty. I mean, you can plan for certainties, you
can adjust to certainties, but uncertainties, oh, they wreak havoc.
They what they do is they paralyze and freeze. Is
that what you're sensing? Because even if Donald Trump's up
(17:47):
to something really good or as others would tell you,
something really reckless. Either way, it's uncertain for a while
and everybody's kind of frozen, right.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I totally agree with you, and good morning yah. I
mean I think people don't do well with then, certainly.
And if you're a small business and you're trying to
figure out whether it's just you know, your supply chain
and your packaging whatever you need to import, it the
fold that you just don't know what to do as
it changes on a day. You can't plan, you cannot
plan out, and you have smaller profit margins, so you're
not exactly sure how you're going to produce, what you're
(18:18):
going to produce, and what you're going to pass along
to the consumer.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So if you're you know, in the supply business, let's say,
and you were thinking about opening a new location which
would have hired X number of employee employees would have
done that, you're on hold right to see how this
plays out. I mean, that's just kind of how it
plays out down the road. So it shouldn't be surprising
to anyone that this is a challenge for small businesses.
Now do we do all the possible certainties? So what
(18:45):
are you watching on? Behalf of the collaborative and all
of the people you know that you support. What are
you looking out for in this? How do you want
to see this play out and whatever it is quickly?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Yeah, very quickly? No, I mean whatever we want is
to play out quickly. We also want the large companies
that work with smaller owned businesses in supply chains and
diversity programs to be able to to help these smaller
owned businesses. Right, we really want some exemptions for certain
businesses that below a revenue threshold. And you know it's
really hard because you might have to put some things
(19:20):
on home. Look, it's it's mass markets, it's clothing, it's apparel,
it's food, it's wine, it's your beauty supplies. So right
now people are just on hold waiting to make business decisions.
So you're going to see prices go up, maybe that
that restaurant's not going to open, and maybe you're not
going to have some of the did you wants? So
the sooner we can figure that out, than easier it
is for the business owners to plan.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
How soon is soon enough, how soon.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
And soon enough making decisions on a bi weekly basis.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Right, So yeah, yeah, I mean when the president talks
about ninety days to a year, it would be wise
to make it ninety days and then yeah and reading
the tea leaves all right, So, and you know the
president of the originally the White House announcer is some
seventy five countries willing to come to the table and negotiate.
Then the message changed, do we have more than ten? Well,
(20:09):
if it's sixty, more than ten, that would be encouraging.
So we don't know how many more than ten and
how quickly these deals can be made? Is there skepticism
that if you have to renegotiate with the world and
you have probably eight or nine real priorities that could
keep a lot of the havoc from happening, and if
you could get those done in a month or two,
can you see a silver lining?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Then you know the optimates in silver lining in all
of this, right, is that you know the world needed
a new trade regime, right, not in nineteen forties or
in nineteen twenties trade regime with the way we've changed
with tech and type of services and lbalization, the second thing,
there is an opportunity. You know, there's a difference a
(20:50):
sixteen you know, three percent difference in clothing chairs for
men and women. It could be an opportunity to.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Get this right.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
But to your point, if we can get it right
with several countries, and you know the big one, you
see China and lines all the time, right, if you
could get it right and question what right is, then
you could see small businesses, you know, being able to operate.
But many of them are saying, you know, we just
might have to put this on hold, and you're going
to see a ten to twenty five percent increase right
away in basic supplies including food, apparel, consumer goods.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And let's make it crystal clear because this is what
I was the most excited about having you on the
uniqueness of this tariff issue too small businesses, because you
don't hear men, it's what is small business now? About
eighty percent of the businesses in this country, and there's
very little talk about tariffs and its impact on small businesses.
Make sure our audience understands the unique position small businesses
(21:40):
are in.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Absolutely and to your point, the facts that they're eighty
percent and we're not talking about it. It shows you their
sort of lack of you know, the network, the ability
to talk about this disrupt supply chain. They have a
smaller profit margin, right, so they're not going to be
able to negotiate as strongly as the big guys, the
big box or as the luxury goods, the brand names
(22:02):
that we know. So they're in a very difficult position
where they're not able to absorb these shocks and timing,
and so they're really looking for access to some exemptions
and some support both from the government but also from
the business sector. And so you'll see a little bit
that they're up on the hill. They're writing letters and
they're trying to have conversations saying, support us because we
(22:23):
are eighty percent of your economic activity.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And when it comes to the political side and politicians,
I'll be the negative one here or the honest one
that has to be negative. Politicians are great about praising
and honoring small business owners and small businesses and their
contribution to the overall economy. They're great doing it in speeches.
But then if they become too successful, well then all
(22:46):
of a sudden they're the enemy. Now they're big business
and they're the devil, so it really has become a
worthless political representation. I hope that's different, and I hope
it's different in this tariff negotiation as well, and not
just does that concern you, it does concern me.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
But like I said, there is an opportunity here, right,
maybe in these conversations as we're creating a new tariff region,
there is opportunity and there are some people that are
asking for that to either, you know, help the small
businesses reduce the bias for when owned businesses. Of course,
the big question is groups like the Small Business Administration,
but also many of these small businesses work with large companies,
So I think the private corporate sector has a role
(23:27):
that they can play and to your original point, can
have that conversation with the government to figure out how
we're going to support all businesses along the way.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
How problematic is it too that the average person does
understand the tariff issues, you know, the difference between you know,
a barrier and a deficit and or a tariff, and
they just kind of like conflate or combine them all
into one big giant snowball that nobody really understands. That
(23:53):
makes this difficult too, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
It does, but I think when you think about it
in the small business terms, it's pretty easy to understand.
Whether it's a tariff with their attacks, whether it's a barrier,
whether it's the final goitter's applies. What we know is
that prices will be passed along to the consumer.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
The range is.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Ten to twenty five percent. You know, we touched earlier
in this week. I saw something in the news to
say consumers will pay twenty three percent more for toys, right,
so you know the price will get passed along and
we're starting to see that. Whether you shop at Costco
or Sam's Club or your local grocery store, you're seeing
that the.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Prices go up.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
And I think that's that is the best way to
understand it because and that stability will help. But the
reality is the prices will change with the teriffs, and
whether that's for the longer short term, we will see
that they will change.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Gwenjung is the CEO of the Women's Business Collaborative. Thank
you so much for your time today. I appreciate you
explaining this.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Thank you, Michael, have a great day you too.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Forty three minutes after the hour, By the way, I
was slightly distracted by something I heard about on the
golf course and I shouldn't have done it, but I
took a peek at it.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Have you seen.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The White House yoga to white House dot dot gov
the presidential message on Holy Week twenty twenty five. It
was released on Sunday, and I heard a couple of
people on the golf course talking about I thought, well,
this means something to me because when Barack Obama was president,
(25:29):
every Easter I used to I would compare. And I
can't go back and do all of that now, but
if you trust me, trust me the way he would
handle Ramadan and Islamic holidays versus Easter, it was breathtaking.
(25:50):
Easter was about family, eggs, bunnies, Ramadan got into the particulars.
There was a difference in reference, a difference in accuracy,
a difference in everything. And I'm like, I live in
one nation under God, in divisible with liberty and justice
(26:13):
for all. This is the message from the White House.
And if I and I could probably I mean, I
know they're they're still they're archive, so I could go
back and read you some of Barack Obama's Eastern messages.
So as these guys are talking. I'm not even chiming in.
I'm just listening. I had enough with pain and how
bad I was playing. But the takeaway was one very
(26:34):
mature believer I said, I could believe my eyes almost
in a sense made me uncomfortable, and so me, being
the person who for years used to do this with Obama,
I got to see that, and then I don't know
why I chose this break to do it right before
Gwen comes on.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
That was unfair. Listen to the wording. I listen.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Let me be the first to tell you I it's
the president of the United States. Somebody may helped him
craft this, but I am also not going to ignore
that this man almost died. He used to be an egomaniac, narcissist,
and he is clearly a different person now. Now he
can't explain faith like a senior pastor, but he sounds
like a guy that was once blind and now sees
(27:18):
I can see him treating people different. I could even
see him struggling with the old, the old nature of
him coming out every now and then against reporters. Oh,
these people are sick, these people are really stupid. You know,
it comes out he fails but he clearly looks like
somebody who is different. And I've been doing this fifty
years with believers, so I actually believe that Donald Trump
(27:42):
is not a mature Christian, but I believe he's a
new believer. And then I read this, So think of
all the presidents past, no one has ever addressed Holy
Week like this. This is from White House dot Gov.
This Holy Week, Milania, and I join in prayer with
Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior,
(28:04):
Jesus Christ, the living son of God, who conquered death,
freed us from sin and unlocked the gates of heaven
for all humanity. He nobody worried about. You know what
I'll say it, I wish some pastors would refer to
Easter this way.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
If? All that was going through my head as I
was reading this during the last break is if my
people will humble themselves confess their sins, I will pray
second Chronicle seven fourteen, meaning God had stopped listening to you,
then I will hear your prayers. Then I will hear
your land. This is the CEO of our government. This
is the president of the United States in a time
(28:52):
where we were so politically correct, you couldn't say these things.
You'd be accused of being insensitive to all other faiths.
What a mouthful that was? You ready for the second paragraph,
because I don't think you are beginning with Christ's triumphant
entry and enter Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, culminating.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And the Paschal Tredendum, which begins.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord's Supper,
followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle on Easter.
This week is a time of reflection for Christians to
memorialize Christ's crucifixion and to prepare their hearts, minds, and
souls for his miraculous resurrection from the dead. During this
(29:45):
sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday
cannot come without the sacrifice Christ made on the cross
in his final hours on Earth. Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture,
execution on the cross out of deep and abiding love
(30:07):
for all of his creation. I would add to that,
and perfect obedience to his Father. Through his suffering, we
have redemption through his death. We are forgiven of our
sins through his resurrection. We have the hope of eternal life. Listen,
(30:28):
I know he's been sick, but the Pope's got his
work cut out for him.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
That's on the government website.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
This is from the President of the United States, from
a talk show host who used to every year compare
the Ramadan White House Statement to the Easter.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I haven't found a bundy or an egg yet, have
you earned that?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I mean when I read this, I chills going out
my spine. I mean, I am not I am not
being mean when I say, man, I hope you pastors
are ready to deliver Sunday the way the President did
last Sunday. Through oh, through my fat thumb, I gotta
(31:09):
go back, accidentally hit something, No, that was me, Okay,
through his resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On
Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty,
and light prevails over darkness, signaling that death does not
(31:32):
have the final word. This Holy Week, my administration renews
its promise to defend the by this is all you're
gonna hear the news today is is this statement. This
Holy Week, my administration renews its promised to defend the
Christian faith in our schools in our military, workplaces, hospitals,
and halls of government. We will never waver in safeguarding
the right of religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life,
(31:55):
and protecting God in our public square. Listen, We've protected
every other god ours. We have ensured a place for
every other God but ours. Like everything I talk about
every single morning, but you and I have doubted for decades.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Prayed but didn't believe for.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Decades, is all being answered right before our eyes. I
can't be the only one seeing it, can I? As
we focus on it doesn't end. And I got news
for you. I'm leaving the pew until he's done. As
(32:38):
anybody else blown away by this? Or am I overreacting
because I'm blown away? This is like forty years of
answered prayer. It's Jockey, This is top and Lincoln. As
we focus on Christ's redeeming sacrifice, we look to his love, humility,
and obedience even in life's most difficult and uncertain moments.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Now he's applying the power of the resurrection.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
This week, we pray for an outpouring of the he
just he's now calling on the Holy Spirit. I mean,
I'll tell you one thing, whoever wrote it, I want
to know now right, but he authorized it, so it's
still coming from the President.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I know I'll get you to break.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Oh you want me to stop this, I'd rather make
all the networks scratch. We pray that America will remain
a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom to the entire world,
and that we will pray to achieve a future that
reflects the truth, beauty, and the goodness of Christs eternal
kingdom in heaven. May God bless you and your family
as he continues to bless.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
The United States of America.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Wow, thank you for the happy answered Easter from my president.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Choono.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I think our Platinum card content is going to bleed
over into the you know, regular citizen hour, but we
thought it would be fun.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I don't want to make this about me.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I am as you can imagine, I'm getting ready to
talk to Gwen about tariffs.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
In the six minute break, I decide to read that finally.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, I was just blown away and then it's like,
next thing I hear is Jeffrey twenty seconds and you
know I'm talking about tariffs. So I probably did a
terrible job in my interview with Gwen. But aren't you
blown away by the President's Eastern message? Yeah, you're just
I haven't gotten a message like that, and I mean,
I'd love to hear your response to it. Use the
talk back line, but I made it. I mention that
I used to follow Barack Obamas every year Red couldn't resist.
(34:40):
So we'll share a couple of Barack Obama's Eastern messages
so you can compare it to President Trump's. And I
hope what you see is God has heard our prayers.
He's healing our land.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
with Michaeldenhild Joe Now
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
One, two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Bell John.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Allow me to be the first to say good morning
and welcome to Thursday, the seventeenth of April twenty twenty
five on the air and streaming live on your radio app.
This is the show that belongs to you. This is
your morning show. I'm Michael del Jornad, the Chairman of
the Federal Reserve, says he expects inflation to rise and
economic growth to slow down the tariffs. Speaking of the tariffs,
(01:03):
how are they affecting small business? Gwen Young is the
chief executive officer of the Women Business Collaboratives. She's going
to join us at about thirty minutes to discuss just that.
Average gas prices across the US are three dollars and
seventeen cents.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's down six cents from last week.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The Trump administration is asking the IRS to revoke Harvard
University's tax exempt status and the retail.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Sites she and and.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Timu are expecting prices to rise. And we have a
meteor shower that is ready to put on a show.
Oh wow, nothing too close. I assure you that that
wouldn't be a show. And we often talk about how
the left clearly does not have a leader, clearly does
not have a message or messenger, and needs to pivot. Well,
(01:51):
there's a lot of reasons why they need to pivot.
Take today only we wake up. The UK Supreme Court
has ruled the legal definition of a woman and it
does not include a trans Does that mean they hate
trans or does that mean common sense has hit across
the pond? Meanwhile, Donald Trump has now been forced to
(02:16):
sue Maine over trans in women's sports. Governor Mills, whose
approval rating is crashing the hill that she's choosing to
die on ignoring ninety nine percent of all women for
the one tenth of one percent and the political agenda.
(02:41):
Or look what they do with the Maryland man, not
a legal immigrant, Maryland man, not MS thirteen gang member.
I mean they make It's not like a guy in
Maryland's looking for a crab cake and he gets caught
in a net and he ends up in El Salvador.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Big mistake.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So we got an illegal immigrant, an MS thirteen gang member.
Now you find out from the court filings that have
been revealed a wife beater, and they're willing to stand
on a hill. I loved what the White House did,
although I hated sitting through it. I don't know about
anybody else, but listening to Patty Morin, I'm a very
empathetic person. I get that, and if this does it
(03:23):
doesn't strike you. You have zero empathy. So when she's
telling the story of her daughter, I'm thinking of mine.
What if my Anna was out on a walk and
somebody who broke into this country a vicious, evil criminal.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It took her.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't know if you timed it red, but it
took her about four and a half minutes just to
describe what this animal did to her daughter. Never mind,
a creator is creation sacredness of life. If I were
(04:05):
describing somebody doing this to a cat, it would be
unthinkable what he did to this human being and the
evidence left behind. Crushed her skull to the point where
she had a six square inch void in the back
of her head. Three quarter of her brains swelled out
(04:27):
of her skull. There was literally no limb that wasn't
broken or lacerated. Drugger threw, in essence a drain for
one hundred and fifty feet. There's a trail of blood
stands her up against a wall inside a tunnel, to
(04:47):
the point where the blood makes a perfect outline of
her body. I might could go on and on and
then rapes her multiple times and then strangles and kills her.
I can't say it better than this. I hate to
start the show off with the sound of the day,
(05:11):
but listen to Greg Gutfield describe the ultimate I mean,
I could go through all of these one by one.
They desperately need to pivot. Look at the hills they're
willing to die on, Look at the choices they're making,
(05:34):
what they're willing to defend, and whom they're willing to ignore.
It's breathtaking. But I can't say it better than Greg Gutfield.
Whether you're talking about more and whether you're talking about
an MS thirteen gang member who beat it like to
beat his wife. You got a member of Congress not
(05:55):
wanting to head to El salvad Or to free him.
I mean, this is nuts. Listen to Greg.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a basically you look at you look at the mother,
and then you can hear Van Hollins's words about who
the most vulnerable is. He's talking about the gang banger.
The FN Democrats. You can offer them two sides and
they can't help but pick.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The wrong one.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You know, for years we've we've dealt with unfettered illegal
immigration with consequences felt in our cities and in our morgues.
And now we stop it. And who do they side with?
And illegal with the history of violence, who beats women.
Good job, Dems, you never fail us, whether it's Antifa,
BLM Hamas, Is there any any dirt bag that you
(06:40):
won'te embrace for political reasons? And I got it. How
many traps do the Democrats and the media lead people into?
It always ends the same way the border agent whip
the migrant. Oh my god, I can't. Oh that didn't happen. Oh,
I'm sorry. Musk is a note. I'm gonna go out
(07:00):
and keep cars. Oh you're being filmed. Now you're going
to jail for twenty years. Why did you listen to them?
Transcans are real? Oh, now you find out it's just
some kind of bizarre experimentation on children.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hey there's white supremacy in the military. No, just CRT
and D. Trump is Hitler. No he's not, but he
gets shot. The p tape is real tape, the laptop
is fake. Joe Biden is as sharp as attack.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Do you notice this? How long are.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You going to put up with this crap where they
lead you down a path for a political reason and
you find out you're in quicksands?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well is beautiful rant, by the way, perfectly stated. I
just can't give him enough credit.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And I could see the anger, you know, the issues
that he's talking about, because you know, if you have
a wife, or if you have a daughter, the notion
of a gang member beating her repeatedly, it will make
you angry as they're defending them, or what Patty Mooren
lives with every day, knowing how the most precious thing
(08:05):
in her life was treated before being taken from her,
tortured frankly, but I want to go back to two
quick points, their little minor points. This is why this
party must pivot because to the end of that where
(08:29):
Greg goes, how many times are they going to take
this bait to their own demise? Not many more, is
the answer. I've got a ton of stories today, and
each one are worthy of an entire show. But the
one that cuts to the chase, the one that answers
(08:50):
Greg Guttfeld, the one that should be scaring the death
out of anybody within the Democrat Party, and as for me,
points directly to my prediction that this party will not
exist by the end of the decade. Newsweek headline, young
(09:13):
people are now overwhelmingly Republican with a very large sample
in this poll. The Yale Youth Poll shows a definite
trend of young voters gen z moving to the Republican
Party and a massive conservative shift among the youth. As
the Democrats have already lost blackmail voters, Hispanic voters, Asian voters,
(09:40):
some would suggest they're losing the working class voters. There's
losing and lost, and this loss it's like a gift
that keeps giving. They're just I can't say they're just
(10:06):
all right, come on, starting to vote. There's a lifetime
of votes coming. We talked yesterday about the generational wars
that are going on. And by the way, think of
this notion.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The youth are hearing Greg Guttfield probably better than the
forty to fifty year old that's caught in the matrix,
because they've seen this all play out in school and
it doesn't make sense. I will tell you, young people have
no problem with gays. You went too far with trance
(10:43):
and they think you're crazy. You're ignoring them. And I'm
not going to say defending the ill. I'll just say
defending the one tenth of one percent at the expense
of ninety nine point nine percent.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And kids don't get it.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't remember, for the life of me as a child,
I remember wanting to be a major league baseball player.
I remember seeing my dad on the radio and a
major market and it looked really cool. I don't remember thinking.
I remember thinking a little bit about being older someday.
You know, as boys are different than girls, we don't
(11:25):
do that I think is the answer. But do you
remember as a kid thinking about owning a home someday?
I mean, maybe a fleeting thought like, well, my house
be this nice.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I don't know. I don't even know if I had that.
I don't think boys think that way.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think I was obsessed with my sports heroes and
becoming a major league baseball player.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I really did.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I mean, I remember being ten years old in Little
league and thinking, oh, I'm ten years old.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
What do I have to be right now? At ten?
You know what I mean? Just kind of.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I mean, I was really sought to be a major
league baseball player.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I got to get in that uniform, I gotta get
in that stadium.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I got to sit in that dick. I don't think
I've ever thought of them.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But in this generation, I'm telling you what we did
yesterday with Rory. This notion that I'm never going to
make enough money to own a home, it's real, and
it's in the mind of twelve to eighteen year olds
to twenty year olds right now, and they're losing their
party over it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
So I can't point to.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Like, you know, a really like transgenderism, a real dumb
economic hill to die on. But they died on the
hill of the Border. They've died on the hill of wokeness,
and they're not letting go. And to Gutfield's point, young
Republicans are supporting young Americans rather are supporting the Republican
(12:43):
Party in greater numbers. A new poll has found and
highlighted a large divide among those thirty years and younger.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Voters.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
This is my daughters and my son, all right, so
I'm this and they narrowed it down to three years.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This is exactly. I have a s.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Eighteen getting ready to turn nineteen, and I have twin
daughters twenty getting ready to turn twenty one. Listen to
this headline voters age eighteen to twenty one. I live
with them, and we're the funhouse. So all their friends,
their entire youth have been in my home. We're the
house that the door just opens and shuts, opens and shuts.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
People are coming and going.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It's like a sitcom cast members coming on stage, going
on to day. I've been around them for all of
their eighteen to twenty one years, and by eleven point
seven points when asked who they would support in twenty
twenty six, congressional elections on almost a double digit twelve point.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Lean to Republican. This is problematic and to their future.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Voters twenty two to twenty nine favorite Democrats by six
point four percent.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
See what you see the cutoff? Now put it in reverse.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
What is an eighteen to twenty one year old scene
the twenty two to twenty nine year olds didn't see
as much of. Certainly not the Internet, but a lot
of this crazy, out of control, lack of common sense wokeness.
It's infuriating to watch. I get it, but people are
(14:25):
seeing through it and there's going to be ramifications. I
see dead people but they don't know they're dead, whether
it's the out of touch media, legacy media, or a
(14:45):
party in a two party system that was never meant
to be.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Because though I'm a pretty tough guy, but when I
heard that lady displaying what happens to her daughter, everyone
to cry.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I feel so bad for her, said Brian, and no, Claire,
thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I watched all of it and I listened. I
don't know how she stayed as composed that she did.
I I don't think there's any worse card, and I've
seen it, and I'm seeing it right now in one
friend's life. To lose a child, but to lose a
child this way, something you love so perfectly cherish, so
(15:30):
perfectly treated in a way a squirrel should never be treated.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It was. It was brilliant of the White House to do.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I mean, you know to Greg Guttfelt's statement that you
you never failed to pick the wrong side to root for.
So bring a right in front of the White House
Press corps. Let the mother tell every detail. Maybe they'll
think twice about how they report that story. It's like
(16:06):
the cheap comparison we made. It's not a Maryland man,
it's a legal immigrant from El Salvador. It wasn't accidentally
deport he was an MS thirteen gang member. Now we
find out he's a white beater to boot. That's who
they're defending.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This is Andy Hickson, formerly of Nashville, now living in Detroit, Michigan.
Thanks to iHeartRadio, my morning show is your morning show.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred wrec in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six
fifty kste in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(16:58):
us for the podcast. The Chairman of the FED says
he expects inflation to rise and economic growth to slow
down due to tariffs.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
More on that just a moment.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Average gas prices are down about six cents this month,
and the Trump administration is asking the IRS to revoke
Harvard University's tax exempt status. You know, we're talking a
lot about tariffs, and I had so many interesting questions
and I've got just the lady to answer them. She
is the CEO of the Women's Business Collaborative. Her name
(17:27):
is Gwen Young, and she joins us on the liveline.
You know, Gwen, one of the things that's hard for
businesses and small businesses are the majority of our business
is uncertainty. I mean, you can plan for certainties, you
can adjust to certainties, but uncertainties, oh, they wreak havoc.
They what they do is they paralyze and freeze. Is
that what you're sensing? Because even if Donald Trump's up
(17:47):
to something really good or as others would tell you,
something really reckless. Either way, it's uncertain for a while
and everybody's kind of frozen, right.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I totally agree with you, and good morning yah. I
mean I think people don't do well with then, certainly.
And if you're a small business and you're trying to
figure out whether it's just you know, your supply chain
and your packaging whatever you need to import, it the
fold that you just don't know what to do as
it changes on a day. You can't plan, you cannot
plan out, and you have smaller profit margins, so you're
not exactly sure how you're going to produce, what you're
(18:18):
going to produce, and what you're going to pass along
to the consumer.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So if you're you know, in the supply business, let's say,
and you were thinking about opening a new location which
would have hired X number of employee employees would have
done that, you're on hold right to see how this
plays out. I mean, that's just kind of how it
plays out down the road. So it shouldn't be surprising
to anyone that this is a challenge for small businesses.
Now do we do all the possible certainties? So what
(18:45):
are you watching on? Behalf of the collaborative and all
of the people you know that you support. What are
you looking out for in this? How do you want
to see this play out and whatever it is quickly?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Yeah, very quickly? No, I mean whatever we want is
to play out quickly. We also want the large companies
that work with smaller owned businesses in supply chains and
diversity programs to be able to to help these smaller
owned businesses. Right, we really want some exemptions for certain
businesses that below a revenue threshold. And you know it's
really hard because you might have to put some things
(19:20):
on home. Look, it's it's mass markets, it's clothing, it's apparel,
it's food, it's wine, it's your beauty supplies. So right
now people are just on hold waiting to make business decisions.
So you're going to see prices go up, maybe that
that restaurant's not going to open, and maybe you're not
going to have some of the did you wants? So
the sooner we can figure that out, than easier it
is for the business owners to plan.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
How soon is soon enough, how soon.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
And soon enough making decisions on a bi weekly basis.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Right, So yeah, yeah, I mean when the president talks
about ninety days to a year, it would be wise
to make it ninety days and then yeah and reading
the tea leaves all right, So, and you know the
president of the originally the White House announcer is some
seventy five countries willing to come to the table and negotiate.
Then the message changed, do we have more than ten? Well,
(20:09):
if it's sixty, more than ten, that would be encouraging.
So we don't know how many more than ten and
how quickly these deals can be made? Is there skepticism
that if you have to renegotiate with the world and
you have probably eight or nine real priorities that could
keep a lot of the havoc from happening, and if
you could get those done in a month or two,
can you see a silver lining?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Then you know the optimates in silver lining in all
of this, right, is that you know the world needed
a new trade regime, right, not in nineteen forties or
in nineteen twenties trade regime with the way we've changed
with tech and type of services and lbalization, the second thing,
there is an opportunity. You know, there's a difference a
(20:50):
sixteen you know, three percent difference in clothing chairs for
men and women. It could be an opportunity to.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Get this right.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
But to your point, if we can get it right
with several countries, and you know the big one, you
see China and lines all the time, right, if you
could get it right and question what right is, then
you could see small businesses, you know, being able to operate.
But many of them are saying, you know, we just
might have to put this on hold, and you're going
to see a ten to twenty five percent increase right
away in basic supplies including food, apparel, consumer goods.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And let's make it crystal clear because this is what
I was the most excited about having you on the
uniqueness of this tariff issue too small businesses, because you
don't hear men, it's what is small business now? About
eighty percent of the businesses in this country, and there's
very little talk about tariffs and its impact on small businesses.
Make sure our audience understands the unique position small businesses
(21:40):
are in.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Absolutely and to your point, the facts that they're eighty
percent and we're not talking about it. It shows you their
sort of lack of you know, the network, the ability
to talk about this disrupt supply chain. They have a
smaller profit margin, right, so they're not going to be
able to negotiate as strongly as the big guys, the
big box or as the luxury goods, the brand names
(22:02):
that we know. So they're in a very difficult position
where they're not able to absorb these shocks and timing,
and so they're really looking for access to some exemptions
and some support both from the government but also from
the business sector. And so you'll see a little bit
that they're up on the hill. They're writing letters and
they're trying to have conversations saying, support us because we
(22:23):
are eighty percent of your economic activity.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And when it comes to the political side and politicians,
I'll be the negative one here or the honest one
that has to be negative. Politicians are great about praising
and honoring small business owners and small businesses and their
contribution to the overall economy. They're great doing it in speeches.
But then if they become too successful, well then all
(22:46):
of a sudden they're the enemy. Now they're big business
and they're the devil, so it really has become a
worthless political representation. I hope that's different, and I hope
it's different in this tariff negotiation as well, and not
just does that concern you, it does concern me.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
But like I said, there is an opportunity here, right,
maybe in these conversations as we're creating a new tariff region,
there is opportunity and there are some people that are
asking for that to either, you know, help the small
businesses reduce the bias for when owned businesses. Of course,
the big question is groups like the Small Business Administration,
but also many of these small businesses work with large companies,
So I think the private corporate sector has a role
(23:27):
that they can play and to your original point, can
have that conversation with the government to figure out how
we're going to support all businesses along the way.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
How problematic is it too that the average person does
understand the tariff issues, you know, the difference between you know,
a barrier and a deficit and or a tariff, and
they just kind of like conflate or combine them all
into one big giant snowball that nobody really understands. That
(23:53):
makes this difficult too, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
It does, but I think when you think about it
in the small business terms, it's pretty easy to understand.
Whether it's a tariff with their attacks, whether it's a barrier,
whether it's the final goitter's applies. What we know is
that prices will be passed along to the consumer.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
The range is.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Ten to twenty five percent. You know, we touched earlier
in this week. I saw something in the news to
say consumers will pay twenty three percent more for toys, right,
so you know the price will get passed along and
we're starting to see that. Whether you shop at Costco
or Sam's Club or your local grocery store, you're seeing
that the.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Prices go up.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
And I think that's that is the best way to
understand it because and that stability will help. But the
reality is the prices will change with the teriffs, and
whether that's for the longer short term, we will see
that they will change.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Gwenjung is the CEO of the Women's Business Collaborative. Thank
you so much for your time today. I appreciate you
explaining this.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Thank you, Michael, have a great day you too.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Forty three minutes after the hour, By the way, I
was slightly distracted by something I heard about on the
golf course and I shouldn't have done it, but I
took a peek at it.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Have you seen.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The White House yoga to white House dot dot gov
the presidential message on Holy Week twenty twenty five. It
was released on Sunday, and I heard a couple of
people on the golf course talking about I thought, well,
this means something to me because when Barack Obama was president,
(25:29):
every Easter I used to I would compare. And I
can't go back and do all of that now, but
if you trust me, trust me the way he would
handle Ramadan and Islamic holidays versus Easter, it was breathtaking.
(25:50):
Easter was about family, eggs, bunnies, Ramadan got into the particulars.
There was a difference in reference, a difference in accuracy,
a difference in everything. And I'm like, I live in
one nation under God, in divisible with liberty and justice
(26:13):
for all. This is the message from the White House.
And if I and I could probably I mean, I
know they're they're still they're archive, so I could go
back and read you some of Barack Obama's Eastern messages.
So as these guys are talking. I'm not even chiming in.
I'm just listening. I had enough with pain and how
bad I was playing. But the takeaway was one very
(26:34):
mature believer I said, I could believe my eyes almost
in a sense made me uncomfortable, and so me, being
the person who for years used to do this with Obama,
I got to see that, and then I don't know
why I chose this break to do it right before
Gwen comes on.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
That was unfair. Listen to the wording. I listen.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Let me be the first to tell you I it's
the president of the United States. Somebody may helped him
craft this, but I am also not going to ignore
that this man almost died. He used to be an egomaniac, narcissist,
and he is clearly a different person now. Now he
can't explain faith like a senior pastor, but he sounds
like a guy that was once blind and now sees
(27:18):
I can see him treating people different. I could even
see him struggling with the old, the old nature of
him coming out every now and then against reporters. Oh,
these people are sick, these people are really stupid. You know,
it comes out he fails but he clearly looks like
somebody who is different. And I've been doing this fifty
years with believers, so I actually believe that Donald Trump
(27:42):
is not a mature Christian, but I believe he's a
new believer. And then I read this, So think of
all the presidents past, no one has ever addressed Holy
Week like this. This is from White House dot Gov.
This Holy Week, Milania, and I join in prayer with
Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior,
(28:04):
Jesus Christ, the living son of God, who conquered death,
freed us from sin and unlocked the gates of heaven
for all humanity. He nobody worried about. You know what
I'll say it, I wish some pastors would refer to
Easter this way.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
If? All that was going through my head as I
was reading this during the last break is if my
people will humble themselves confess their sins, I will pray
second Chronicle seven fourteen, meaning God had stopped listening to you,
then I will hear your prayers. Then I will hear
your land. This is the CEO of our government. This
is the president of the United States in a time
(28:52):
where we were so politically correct, you couldn't say these things.
You'd be accused of being insensitive to all other faiths.
What a mouthful that was? You ready for the second paragraph,
because I don't think you are beginning with Christ's triumphant
entry and enter Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, culminating.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And the Paschal Tredendum, which begins.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord's Supper,
followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle on Easter.
This week is a time of reflection for Christians to
memorialize Christ's crucifixion and to prepare their hearts, minds, and
souls for his miraculous resurrection from the dead. During this
(29:45):
sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday
cannot come without the sacrifice Christ made on the cross
in his final hours on Earth. Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture,
execution on the cross out of deep and abiding love
(30:07):
for all of his creation. I would add to that,
and perfect obedience to his Father. Through his suffering, we
have redemption through his death. We are forgiven of our
sins through his resurrection. We have the hope of eternal life. Listen,
(30:28):
I know he's been sick, but the Pope's got his
work cut out for him.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
That's on the government website.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
This is from the President of the United States, from
a talk show host who used to every year compare
the Ramadan White House Statement to the Easter.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I haven't found a bundy or an egg yet, have
you earned that?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I mean when I read this, I chills going out
my spine. I mean, I am not I am not
being mean when I say, man, I hope you pastors
are ready to deliver Sunday the way the President did
last Sunday. Through oh, through my fat thumb, I gotta
(31:09):
go back, accidentally hit something, No, that was me, Okay,
through his resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On
Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty,
and light prevails over darkness, signaling that death does not
(31:32):
have the final word. This Holy Week, my administration renews
its promise to defend the by this is all you're
gonna hear the news today is is this statement. This
Holy Week, my administration renews its promised to defend the
Christian faith in our schools in our military, workplaces, hospitals,
and halls of government. We will never waver in safeguarding
the right of religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life,
(31:55):
and protecting God in our public square. Listen, We've protected
every other god ours. We have ensured a place for
every other God but ours. Like everything I talk about
every single morning, but you and I have doubted for decades.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Prayed but didn't believe for.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Decades, is all being answered right before our eyes. I
can't be the only one seeing it, can I? As
we focus on it doesn't end. And I got news
for you. I'm leaving the pew until he's done. As
(32:38):
anybody else blown away by this? Or am I overreacting
because I'm blown away? This is like forty years of
answered prayer. It's Jockey, This is top and Lincoln. As
we focus on Christ's redeeming sacrifice, we look to his love, humility,
and obedience even in life's most difficult and uncertain moments.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Now he's applying the power of the resurrection.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
This week, we pray for an outpouring of the he
just he's now calling on the Holy Spirit. I mean,
I'll tell you one thing, whoever wrote it, I want
to know now right, but he authorized it, so it's
still coming from the President.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I know I'll get you to break.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Oh you want me to stop this, I'd rather make
all the networks scratch. We pray that America will remain
a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom to the entire world,
and that we will pray to achieve a future that
reflects the truth, beauty, and the goodness of Christs eternal
kingdom in heaven. May God bless you and your family
as he continues to bless.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
The United States of America.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Wow, thank you for the happy answered Easter from my president.

This is your Morning show with Michael del Choono.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I think our Platinum card content is going to bleed
over into the you know, regular citizen hour, but we
thought it would be fun.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I don't want to make this about me.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I am as you can imagine, I'm getting ready to
talk to Gwen about tariffs.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
In the six minute break, I decide to read that finally.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, I was just blown away and then it's like,
next thing I hear is Jeffrey twenty seconds and you
know I'm talking about tariffs. So I probably did a
terrible job in my interview with Gwen. But aren't you
blown away by the President's Eastern message? Yeah, you're just
I haven't gotten a message like that, and I mean,
I'd love to hear your response to it. Use the
talk back line, but I made it. I mention that
I used to follow Barack Obamas every year Red couldn't resist.
(34:40):
So we'll share a couple of Barack Obama's Eastern messages
so you can compare it to President Trump's. And I
hope what you see is God has heard our prayers.
He's healing our land.

We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
