Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning show with Michael Del Juno.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Davidson Audius are yes, our senior contributor, but he's also
the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He's host to
the Public Square, heard on two hundred stations, and presides
over Eye voters as well. And David, the purpose of
our visit today is Donald Trump will reach one hundred
days this weekend, and so a look at his first
one hundred days and the accomplishments and the still unfinished business.
(00:27):
But before we get to that, I blew up forty
minutes of the show because of what you all were
talking about on the golf course. And then I chose
right before an interview with a small business ceo, and
I read the President's White House address on Easter, and
then the break ended and it was time to do
the interview. I don't even know what I said to
that or woman that was my guest at five point
(00:51):
thirty this morning. I was so blown away. You said
something on a tea box, and I understand what you're saying.
I mean, I used to cover Barack Obama as Easter messages,
and then I read this Easter message and three things
went through my head number one. Things that we didn't
even believe when we were praying them for decades seemingly
(01:11):
have been answered. Something changed in this man when he
was shot, and I continue to see evidence of that.
Political correctness and wokeness is certainly dead. When we had
fun with the Barack Obama, I read two thousand and
nine's Easter address and it quickly became about Islam, Buddhism, Judaism,
(01:33):
and then it became about man and the brotherhood of man,
and then it became about work and his job numbers.
I mean, it was just extraordinary. And then I read
Donald Trump's this year. I don't know that I've ever
had a pastor or heard a priest succinctly explain and
exegut the Easter story the way the administration has in
(01:54):
its defense of Christianity. I mean, what is remarkable. And
you actually said it almost made you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Was so remarkable.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, thank you, Michael for being willing to talk about this,
because it's something that nobody else is talking about, and
so I really appreciate this.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I've had the.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Privilege of studying presidents, writing about presidents Washington, yes, but
mostly hanging around with people who are a lot smarter
and a lot more prolific than I am on the
study of presidents and in fact, even on presidential speeches,
and this one is exceptional. Now, this is a statement
that was written. We don't know who wrote it. It's
(02:31):
clearly not written in the presidency, and it's not the
way that he writes or communicates. Now that doesn't mean
it's disingenuine. It means that it's a joint sta I
mean they put this together because it was very important.
They wanted he wanted to speak these words, and he
took great care that they should be crafted in this fashion.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
So this is not policy.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
By the way, it's very important to understand, this is
not an executive order. This is not a statement of
public policy. This is a confession of how Donald Trump
and his wife see the reality of faith in common
culture and in American history. And he makes a very
sincere and forthright confession of the biblical reality of the
(03:17):
person of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Had a depth and doctrinal understanding and exegy that is
absent in the body of Christ itself.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Well, it's a statement that I would think that any
denomination of the Christian faith would embrace because it's the
core truth that Christ has come, Christ has died, Christ
has risen. It's the fundamental core truths of the New Testament,
and he personalizes it to himself. But nowhere in that
(03:47):
speech is there any compulsion requiring that anyone should do
what he says, or that the government should somehow implement this,
other than to protect the freedom of the expression of
these truths.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Which is another way of saying it was in addition
to being detailed and doctrinely and biblically sound, it was constitutionally.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Constitutionally sound, exactly, So it's worth nothing.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And again, in the college realm, where we enjoy master's
classes and master's teaching with scholars around the country, this
particular speech should be added to the context for that
very reason.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean, you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Just I know what you're talking about yourself, so it
would be pride to go any further. But you've written
excellent books on excellent presidents with very amazing people, and
you're working on one now with somebody that we respect
as much as anyone on earth, doctor Allen, on a
different president. But I mean this is listen, I do
(04:50):
a good Friday address, every good Friday. I'm almost embarrassed
to deliver it tomorrow after this one. This is an
extraordinary document period historical docum.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, it's a bell ringer. Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So when you guys were talking about that, I was
more worried about my physical aches and how poorly I
was playing after two pars to really get involved. And
today I reminded myself. And so I'm in a news
break and I read this. For those of you just
tuning in, I'm just going to give you a paragraph.
This Holy Week, Milania and I join in prayer with
Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior,
(05:23):
Jesus Christ, the living Son of God, who conquered death,
freed us from sin and unlocked the gates of heaven
for all humanity. During this sacred week, we acknowledge 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 and execution on the
(05:46):
cross out of a deep and abiding love for all creation.
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. On Easter morning, the stone
is rolled to way way, the tomb is empty, the
light prevails over darkness, signaling that that death does not
(06:07):
have the final word. I mean, wow, how much of
this is answered prayer of faithful saints who didn't even
pray with with with power and faith but probably doubt
I mean. And then no acknowledgment or any apologies or
nods to other religions. This is an Easter address, will
(06:28):
address Easter and Christianity. It was, it was pretty powerful stuff.
It's one, as Jim Nansman say, it's one for the ages.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well, and and by comparison to the Easter Sunday, which
Joe Biden celebrated lgbt Q Transparency Day, it certainly is
a very different approach and certainly a more historic one.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I want to there's a well, no, go ahead and finish
because I'm gonna move on to another topic.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Well, there's a great deficiency in our educational systems that
have not given people an opportunity to honestly embrace the
role that the creator of the universe and the God
of the Bible plays in the Declaration of the Constitution
of the founding era. We've dedicated our lives for forty
five years to basically bringing that story back to the public.
(07:19):
Now the founders of our country would be very comfortable
with this address.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, and I might add too, because I took so
much time to do all. By the way, in my book,
I gave a whole chapter to the preambles of each state.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You ought to go very smart on your partner.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You ought to go look up wherever you live, and
we're I don't know how many states were in twenty
twenty different states.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Go reach your preamble. You'll see how important God is.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All right, So, because I took so much time to
do that, and it was extraordinary and worth the time,
I started the show by saying I got five stories,
I could do an entire show on, let alone a segment.
And then I didn't get those segments in. So let's
try to these really quick. The UK, obviously common sense
prevailed across the pond. The Supreme Court of the United
(08:10):
Kingdom finally defined a woman. It does not include trans
and they ruled unanimously the definition of a woman is equality.
Legislation refers to a biological woman and a biological sex.
Why is our mother country so much smarter than us
on this or is this coming to America soon too?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I think it's coming across the entire Western world. The
LGBTQ agenda has simply gone too far. It's the end.
We are now living in the post era of the
sexual revolution because we're simply abolished man.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
In the process. We've gotten rid of the very question
of humanity.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We've gone so far over the edge, and it's unsustainable
because every morning people wake up, look in the mirror.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
In reality mugs their world.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, that'll lead us to this story, which I again
I may save this for overtime. I'm going to do
it last, and that is the Yale University research that
was revealed by Newsweek and what it shows about our
young people and how they have broke Republican and conservative
and they're just starting to vote. But I'm gonna do
(09:17):
that in an overtime segment. Let's cut to the chase
on the Trump administration suing Maine. First of all, there's
two sides of this coin. On one side of the coin,
why does the Democrats continue to refuse to pivot and
continue to die on hills that aren't worth dying them.
So you've got Governor Mills and Maine standing up for
one percent and political agenda and ignoring ninety nine point
(09:40):
nine percent of women and how they feel about this.
But trans in women's sports, this is clearly a hill
Maine wants to die on. You made a comment yesterday.
I want you to elaborate on good. The sooner this
gets to the court, the better.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, it is a good point because the Court is
hung on the Kennedy doctrine Justice Kennedy, going all the
way back to two tho thousand and eight through twenty eighteen,
in which Justice Kennedy began to add to the dicta
or the additional writings of the Court and decisions regarding
the defensive marriage. This concept of personhood being equated equal
(10:13):
to sexual activity or proclivity. That's never happened before. Humans
have never been defined that way in the history of
Western jurisprudence of law. And so we've got to get
back to the Court enabling themselves to pull that doctrine
off the record. So it may come in the most
(10:34):
unusual case where a position like Maine looks like they're
attacking the Trump administration and their policy may very well
give it to the court a chance to say time out.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
We agree with Great Britain. A woman is a biological woman.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
At least dephonic. She was originally going to be a
cabinet member. Then she was pulled, we thought, because the
votes were needed in the House, so all that could be.
But now there's talk about her running for governor in
New York. The question is can you win well. The
Merris University poll finds forty six percent of New Yorker's
disapprove of Hochel, thirty nine percent approved.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
She is beatable.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
There's something shifting in New York and a good candidate
came close to her in the last race. Can Stephanic
become even closer?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well? New York is the media state.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I mean you fly into New York City and you
feel like you're flumed the inside of a television set.
Everywhere you turn, it's all about television. So it's going
to become a personality contest. It's going to depend which
way Lauren Michaels breaks which way, Saturday Night Live breaks
which way, the city breaks which way, the boroughs break.
Because the majority of New York outside of New York
City will definitely vote for someone other than Hockel.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Upstate versus Manhattan. Can somebody say it out loud, upstate
versus Manhattan. And by the way, we talked about this,
this movement within a Democrat Party from the Justice Socialist Democrats,
and they're going to play the youth versus old game.
And we talked yesterday about how the GOP's already beat
them to that. Look at jd Van, look at Marco Rubio,
look at a governor DeSantis, well Christ well yeah, but
(12:07):
look at Stevanic forty years old running for governor in
New York. The Republicans have beat him to the punch
on that one. And then finally Gail and the ladies
get back from their ride, and you know, I actually
fought America acknowledged it. I mean we did on this show.
(12:27):
I don't know why, but she was trying to compare it.
I mean, I think Red nailed it. This was more
space tourism than spaceflight and exploration. So you know the
fact that she's trying to compare herself to other astronauts.
I'll tell you who really nailed this was Jim our listener.
He said, Michael lefter returning back to Earth along with
(12:48):
five other women on Jeff Bezos Blues Origin spacecraft. Miss
King derided all who called their spaceflight just that a ride.
Gail said it would never have been called a ride
if it had been men astronauts like now Shepherd, the
first US astronaut to go into space. Gale should have
done a research. What did the first astronaut, Alan Shepherd? Who,
(13:08):
by the way, I think it's Alan Shepard that fell
asleep during it. They could hear him snoring those early
mercury and you know they were unbelievable. But when he
landed he said, boy, what a ride? I mean the
great Iron But of course it's sexist, and we course
didn't make a big enough deal of their flight. I
mean that old chestnut. This is the very stuff that
(13:30):
isn't playing. Why is the left finding such a hard
time to realize wokeness has died and these narratives that
used to work even three years ago, six years ago,
to you, they're just not working anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Nobody's looking for a flight on every corner, are they?
And I know we got a break. Let's just say this,
they're in too deep. I'll add on that note.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Too, miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot,
and will miss you. It's your Morning Show with Michael
del Churno
