Alcatraz and Sounds of the day!
Food prices are rising and people are skeptical about the economy. Those two factors are slamming the fast-food industry. National Correspondent RORY O’NEILL has been looking at the “McRecession” and what the big chains are doing in response.
Always revealing and often entertaining, it’s The Sounds of The Day!
President Trump had a busy weekend. After lashing out at judges about a deportation ruling, he appeared in a national broadcast interview on NBC. White House Correspondent JON DECKER ran the President’s weekend, and what we can expect in the coming days.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning, but glad you're here now for
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Enjoy starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding it, because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill Charman. Seven
minutes after the hour, Classic rock Music has Peter, Paul
and Mary. We have Gabe Gray and Mary coming up
in minutes from now. Real i D deadline is Wednesday.
Trump says he's directing the Bureau of Prisons to reopen
and expand the historic Alcatraz Federal Penitentiarer and the Jets
(00:55):
rallied from behind to force overtime and then one in
double overtime to advance and eliminate the Saint Louis Blues
last night. Good morning, Welcome to your morning show on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app on
this single DeMaio Monday, the fifth of May You have
our Lord twenty twenty five. Well, they call it MC recession,
(01:15):
but there might be more to this story than just
the story itself. But that's how we go beyond the
headlines to the true meeting. National correspondent Roy o'neilis here.
Food prices a rising and people are skeptical, skeptical about
the economy, easy for me to say, and that has
led to a MC recession, Yeah, Michael.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
The specifically, finally, the low and middle income consumers are
increasingly shying away from fast food restaurants. We believe it's
in an attempt to save money, and we're seeing it,
you know, chains like McDonald's. They said their first quarter
revenues were down three point six percent, largely in the
breakfast area, which suggests more people are saying, you know
(01:56):
a lot autos, have a bowl of cereal at home
and make my coffee there. You go, that that adds
up day after day after day. But we're also seeing
it at the other end.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I love this one.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Domino's reports that more people are ordering carry out so
they don't want to pay the three bucks for delivery,
and they don't want to tip the person so instead
they're going to pick up the pie rather than have
it delivered to them as a way to say a
few bucks.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Here and there. You know it is. We were sitting
at gymnastics, the girls were like five or six, and
we hadn't lived here very long, and now on the
Mexican restaurant topic came up, and this one brings up.
I like Garcia's and really delicious food. They have indoor
outdoor seating, and it's got a really nice price point.
(02:40):
And I remember when I made fun of that. But
you know, you don't think about price point until moments
like this. I wonder, I'm thinking of that lady at gymnastics,
how much this is a price point issue. You hit
the nail on the head the notion of okay, priorities. Well,
I know I got to go to lunch today with Rory,
but I don't have to go and spend fifteen dollars
at McDonald It's on breakfast, and I don't have time
(03:02):
to go sit down for twelve dollars and have a
better breakfast let's say a waffle house, So I'm just
gonna eat my cereal. This it becomes a price point thing,
doesn't it. And I think McDonald's loses in that. You know,
I used to have a great experience going to McDonald's.
They get my corn, primer, cheese, fry coke, and a
caramel Sunday with nuts. Now the ice cream machine rarely works.
(03:23):
They won't give you nuts, and it's thirteen dollars. Thirteen
dollars McDonald's. It no longer makes sense. It's a price
point thing more than anything.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think, yeah, absolutely, And you know, there is an
economic philosophy that when times are tougher, actually we splurge
more on these cheaper indulgences like ice cream like McDonald's
or a fast food place because we can't afford the
big family vacations. They say, all right, Sunday afternoon, let's
all go out for ice cream instead. So or there's
(03:52):
some will say let's all go up for a drink instead, whatever,
but we tend to have Well, what the point being
that you tend to have these smaller price point, lower
price point indulgences that you have in these tougher times
because you can't afford the big expensive thing like let's
got a new TV or we're all going to Disney Wold.
(04:12):
So I agree it is an interesting phenomenon that tends
to happen. So when you see lower and middle income
households say, you know what, we're going to shy away
from the fast food, that's that could be a more
permanent change.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, because there's other other ways of looking at it too,
which is, hey, I don't have Disney kind of money.
By the way, I'm not a fan of Disney, and
we had a terrible family experience there. I have no
desire to go back. But let's do Dollywood. A. We
can drive there and avoid the high air fare and
b have just as good a time or better time.
So we're seeing choices that are made, and some of
(04:45):
them are more than others, I'll ask. I want to
end with the typical question everybody's going to ask you today.
Is this a recession problem or a McDonald's problem? The
answer is both, right, Well.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I'd say I'd also point to the recession side because
Taco Bell, meanwhile, which I as a lower price point,
is seeing a surgeon business. It's up what nine percent
increase in sales in their most recent quarter. So yeah,
people are still looking for that convenience. But maybe they're
making choices either based on budget or you know you
can get some lettuce at Taco Bella.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Anyway, Well, I said some perisery over the weekend. Voice
sounds a little bit better. Still getting beat up by allergies.
Watch how much? Watch how much he'll deteriorate when he
comes back. At the third hour after about ten reports,
but Jerry's selection begins the p Did he trial Rory
back with that in the third hour? All right? I
was joking. Classic Rock This morning has Peter, Paul and Mary.
(05:37):
We have Gabray and Mary. Let's start with Mary's Good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Michael Trump was asked yet again in his interview with
NBC yesterday about bringing the MS thirteen gang member back
to the United States from l Salvador. And I think
the Alcatraz idea is a way for him to put
a thumb in the eye of those people who are
in favor of that. If you don't want me to
send it to El Salvador, I'll put him in the
(06:02):
midst of your view of the most lefty city in
the United States. Have a great ding, I always do
when you call.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Thank you, Mary. We talked about this in the opening
Platinum Card Hour. The funny part about Donald Trump is
you never know. Did he just think of this, Does
this just fly out of his mouth for the first
time and then he goes with it? Or to Mary's suggestion,
it's a brilliant chess play with the core harassment he's
(06:32):
getting and you never know because his delivery is so perfect.
That's why we love Mary. Mary gets it. He wasn't
even listening and came to the same conclusion. I actually
think this is okay you want to interrupt. I mean,
I'm in the process of doing what the American people
(06:52):
elected me to do. Secure the border. The border crossings
are almost non existent. Now get these dangerous people off
our streets and out of our culture and return them
to where they belong. Oh, you want to interfere with that.
You want to force us to do these wanted to time.
They didn't enter one at a time. In a court case,
(07:13):
it was an invasion and overload of like twenty thousand
and then dispersed on purpose throughout the country, knowing that
had they been in ice beads, they'd have been processed
and nine out of ten of them would have been
returned home. But once you move them inside the country,
it can take three years, nine years. It can never happen.
So you want to let them all in in mass
(07:35):
but now you want to try them one by one
on the way out. Well, I got just the place.
You don't want me to send them home, I'll send
them to the rock Alcatraz. It's pretty brilliant stuff. Although
it is my favorite. We did this too in the
five o'clock car, and I will I will spare everybody
reliving me going through every place I have ever been
(07:56):
and trying to think if anything had an impact on me,
like Alcatraz. It was one of my most fun tourists.
But stops ever, Nothing even comes close. The boat ride
to the rock, getting off the way the prisoners did,
wondering is this howl? Is this right where al Capone walked?
You know? Then that you go through the processing center,
(08:18):
it's I remember being on the island thinking, you know,
if somebody just gutted this thing and made it really
high end condos, who the heck wouldn't pay big bucks
to live out on the rock. So my first thought was, no,
don't do it. Trump. It's my favorite place to go,
and I haven't gotten a chance to take my son
(08:38):
Nick yet because you put the headphones on, you really
relived the experience. Look, you ain't lived to you walk
in one of those cells. I don't know how to
describe you. You think you know how small they are,
but you don't. It basically fits a twin size bed.
And maybe I don't think the average Americans wait today,
would even allow you to stand sideways and you're up
(08:59):
against the wall and your feet are on the wall
next to the you know, it's just basically a sink,
a toilet, and a twin bet that's it. And then
you go into solitary. Oh, but the best is to
have the headphones on and going to the mess all
or go out into the yard and you have all
the ambient sound when the prison was intact. But I
(09:19):
think it's a brilliant move from Donald Trump. All right,
I can see the clock. Let's get to Peter, Paul
and Mary. Oh we had Gabe Ray and Mary, so
that must mean Ray is next.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Let's go to retire whorking as a sub in our
local school system. And I'm shocked beyond belief. Fifth graders
who can't even print their name. Parents are totally disengaged,
The teachers are just frustrated. It's sad, but that's where
we're at now. And my morning show is still your
morning show is Michael de Giordo.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It really is.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
One of the things I always and I think Ray
would agree with this, Remind people people my age, I
haven't been in I haven't in school since nineteen eighty two.
If you're like me, you haven't been in school since
nineteen eighty two. Schools are unrecognizable from nineteen eighty two.
And I'm talking the textbook material, the curriculum, the teachers,
(10:18):
the behavior, the standards. When I was younger. I don't
want to sound like that person, but when I was younger,
if you didn't pass, you failed. I have just witnessed
three kids go through high school, and I'm telling you,
you don't pass, you still pass. It's the most insane
(10:38):
thing I ever saw. And they do it with catch up.
They do it with just turning a blind eye. They
do it with dumbing down the standard, but you just
keep passing. We've lowered the standard to accommodate our failures.
And the biggest failure of all, as you'll see in
our Journey of Discovery, is the breakdown of the family,
(11:00):
is the breakdown of education, which is the breakdown and
why we can't get people and a caste system to
pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get out. Now
some do, but by and large they don't. And the
key is a married mom and dad and an intact family.
By the way, if you missed our Journey of Discovery,
use the podcast hour one. It's worth it. Gabe is next.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
So you're a few years older than a figure.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I'm forty three, just too, probably forty.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Four webs day. But I think our carrier.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Generation you can't hear your sow is probably all left
to our own devices.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
That's just how it was. I don't know, that's how
it works for me.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, the Dell Journal boys were left in their own devices.
We were the last key kids, right uh yeah, other,
you know, of all the things. When he was talking,
that came to my mind. We had moved from Chicago
to New Orleans, which was too much culture shock. And
when we first moved there, waiting for our house to
be ready to be moved in, we stayed at the
(12:06):
Hilton in Kenner and so we had that reference point.
So then they drop us off. We go from Arlington Heights,
Illinois Public schools, which at the time feels so futuristic
and so posh and so nice. To this little private school,
Keyho Academy across the street from the Levee and the
Mississippi River in New Orleans. And I couldn't understand people.
(12:30):
We're going to get Jayjay, Get to Dirty Rack. What's
dirty rice? They don't watch the rice. No, Dirty Rag's
got a living. I don't need to living with my
right Get to Popeye. Then get the dool bees all
want meat, or get a pole boy, drep pole boy.
Who's some guy's gonna come dressed? All right? So it
was just a nightmare. So I'll never forget my brother Victims.
You know, it's like between classes. Hey, Moe, I got Bobby.
(12:52):
We're getting out of here. It was like Alcatraz and
we just start walking down Jefferson Highway, make our way
to Airline Highway, make our way to the hotel. We
spent the entire day by the pool where we lived
in our full school uniform. Yeah, we were kind of
raising ourselves. I want to finish with this, Jim Wrights,
I love these kinds of stories. Michael in nineteen seventy
eight is a fourteen year old kid from Queen's myself,
(13:13):
my brother and our friends. One of my friends who
was the cousin of Ben Stiller. We snuck into Belmont Racetrack,
climbed into the trees on the straightaway before the final turn,
and watched the jockey right affirmed passed us to win
the triple Crown at that closeness the horses hooves. I
think this is why I cried when I watched the
(13:34):
movie Secretariat and they cut they cut all the sound
and you just hear the If you've never stood at
the rail and watch these magnificent athletes come by you
at full speed, it is it is breathtaking. So I
know exactly what he's describing, and in this case is
triple crown winner affirmed going at the closeness the horses
(13:57):
hooves shook the tree we were in. It is one
of the most precious memories of my childhood. Jim and
Franklin Tennessee, Well, my brothers and I I do recall
walked from our neighborhood in Arlington Heights all the way
to Arlington Racetrack to see Secretariat as a four year
old run in a race. I have memories very similar
(14:17):
to that. By the way, speaking of Secretariat, everyone forgets
Sham Sham may have been one of the greatest horses
ever to lose barely at the Kentucky Derby, barely at
the Breakness and significantly at the Belmont. Just picked a
bad time to be one of the greatest horses of
all times against Secretariat. Same thing is true for Affirmed
(14:40):
with Ali Dahr. I mean that matchup between Affirmed and
Ali Dar, and it's so easy to forget Ali Dar.
But that horse was there in every one of those races,
but all Affirmed Seattle slew Secretariat, American Pharaoh. We've seen
some great ones in our lifetime. Appreciate the calls, Appreciate
the emails. You can always see a late edition. By
the way, you need to hear this a late edition
to talkbacks. This is Tim. Good morning, Michael. Thanks for
(15:03):
had a great tip on Sandman over the weekend. Okay,
now I gotta go back to work on a great day.
Hey should have stied with John's picks. No, I stand
by my jockey road a terrible rate. It's your Morning
show with Michael del Chino. Roger emailed me earlier. Trump
(15:24):
is an expert at keeping leftist tear on fire. In
the latest reopening Alcatraz, Trump said in a post on
truth Social that America has been plagued by vicious, violent,
and repeat criminal offenders, and that the country in the
past did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous
criminals and keep them far away from anyone they could harm.
He went on to say Alcatraz will house America's most
(15:47):
ruthless and violent offenders, adding that it'll serve as a
symbol of law, order and justice. Alcatraz sits on a
small island about a mile off the shore of San Francisco.
It served as a prison from nineteen thirty four to
nineteen sixty three and is now a museum. I'm Chris Karanjia.
Do you want me to just do the news or
do you want me to shoot straight with you? The
news is the real ID deadline is still Wednesday. Shooting
(16:08):
straight with you. Good luck. You've missed the deadline. If
you don't have a real ID, you can't get one
by Wednesday. You can't even get I don't think you
can get a passport by Wednesday. I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa,
and my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
Jill's Una. Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be
(16:31):
heard weekday mornings in great cities like Tulsa, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or thrilled you're
here now enjoy the podcast. This is the fledgling new
Your Morning Show. Mediocre show at best, But if we
(16:52):
ever released what I do during the commercial breaks, I
think it'd be a runaway number one show in the country.
We'd all get fun.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
In fact, I just broke into who can make a sunrise? Yeah,
sprinkle it with de Sami man, cover it with chocolate
and a soft shoot too.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh that can't could perform the Sami men, always revealing,
often entertaining. You tuned in just in time for the
sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and puberty.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal. It's going to work out, all right.
We start with the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Uh the president on Air Force One was asked a
very ridiculous military question that of course he wouldn't answer
(17:56):
right saying that I offer.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
You said you and into Mexico to take care of
the cartels. She wants to know is that true? Do
you think I'm going to answer that question. I will
answer it. It's true, absolutely, because they should be. They
are horrible people that have been killing.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
People left and right, that have been They've made.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
A fortunate selling drugs and destroying our people. We lost
three hundred thousand people last year too, fitted all the
drugs their bad news. Yeah, that's true. If Mexico wanted
help with the cartels, we would be honored to go
in to do it. I told her that I would
be honored to go in and do it. The cartels
had tried to destroy our country. They're evil, and you know,
(18:42):
we had three hundred thousand people died last year from
fens and all and all that, we had hundreds, we
had millions of people brought into this.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So the question is why doesn't the Mexican president ask
him to do it? Well, this is definitely a sound
of the weekend right as they bread for home and sovereignty.
The good sand Man, poor guy didn't have a chance up.
Two of them go right by with un any wider
they'd have been in the pa Separente knows to those
(19:11):
down to the last sixteenth of a mile, sovereignty has
taken the lead. Journalism is second four they had signed
by Kles third. But it will be sovereignty to rule.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I know a lot of people had a lot of
fun virally online with the irony of sovereignty reigning over journalism.
How apropos in the political year twenty twenty five. But
two magnificent horses coming down the stretch, and one gets
a sense that those two will go at it again.
(19:47):
You know, I brought up earlier the everybody remembers affirmed
a triple crown winner. But AlIdar was right there at
every race. I really think sovereignty and journalism are going
to be connect at the practice in Belmont as well.
Sloppy track. Sandman, which was my pick, really ran the
right race, had the right moment, should have gone inside,
(20:09):
went outside, then got further forced outside and ended up
coming and forth. And I think a lot of my
listeners hate me for it.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
All.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Right back to President Trump.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Shall we if I own stock and something, and I
do a good job and the stock market goes up,
I guess I'm profiting. But who really profits to somebody
like Nancy Pelosi who uses inside information. She worked for
one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year, and
that's at the high end, and she's worth one hundred
(20:41):
and fifty two hundred million dollars. Okay, you had to
look at Nancy Pelosi, and you had to look at
some of these politicians at a stone called crooks. I
was very wealthy when I came in being president. I
probably cost me money if you really look if.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I probably The president's visit with Meet the Press was
spectacular if you think he's found a new form. The
one hundred day rally outside of Detroit was pretty magnificent,
only to be topped by the commencement address at the
(21:19):
University of Alabama, and then in a little bit of
a different way, maybe even topped in his one on
one with Meet the Press where he just absolutely eight
NBC's lunch. But yeah, the notion is, oh, well, let's
(21:42):
focus on eggs, as if President Trump had anything to
do with it, and then they recover, well, let's focus
on oil, and then it recovers, then the mineral deal
gets done. I mean, we're gonna visit with David Sanaudi
about this. How many things got to happen before. Well,
maybe this guy's so stupid, huh, But to try to
attack the president because you were Your narrative was, we
(22:02):
have regrets, he's tanked the economy, and then when everything
starts turning around, well you're benefiting from the stock It's ludicrous.
But then it's not Christin Walker. Here's round two of
their matchup.
Speaker 10 (22:19):
Prices are already going up on some popular and strollers.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
This is such a dishonest interview. Already prices are down
on grocers, Prices are down for oil, prices are down
for oil energy. Prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And let me tell you, when you have the big thing,
what he did.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
He spent like a stupid person, which he was, but
he spent like a very stupid person.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And I mean, listen, I don't know if this is
the golden age of America, but this is the golden
age of presidency. Do you think we're ever going to
have a president be dishonest again? I praise, so I hope.
So let me tell you something. This is Mount Rushmore stuff.
She's playing her silly little games, thinking this is media
(23:09):
nineteen ninety six and it's not. He just slaps her
silly with facts references, Biden calling him stupid. But watch Wregos.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That was bad for inflation. But what really killed us
with inflation was the price of energy. It went up
to three dollars and ninety even four dollars and in
California five and six dollars. Right, okay, I have it
down to a dollar ninety eight in many states right now,
when you go that much lower on energy, which is
ahead of my prediction, because I really thought I could
(23:45):
get it down into the two fifties. We have it
down at a dollar ninety eight in numerous places. But
when you say course of going up, even mortgage rates
are going down.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well, let me give you some examples these, I mean handpits,
some examples that make my narrative point, not your look,
housing vehicles. The President's biggest point in that was COVID.
Now he sits a little bit on the you know,
in that storyline of COVID, he got duped by Fauci
(24:19):
Fauci walked in and told him two millions are going
to be dead by easter. He shut down the country.
He thought Fauci was an expert. Turns out he's a
fraud as we know him now belongs in jail. But
the amount of money that we released into the economy
so that people would stay home, as we picked and
(24:43):
choosed who could stay home and who was necessary, that's
the cause of the great inflation hike. Unearned money is inflationary,
and it went on for years. She's going to try
to redirect and come back to one or two samples.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
I mean, these are actual examples. They're going So you're
saying the prices that are going down, some prices are
going up, tires, strollers, some clothing in the wake of
your territory.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's peanuts compared to energy. Energy is sixty percent.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Of the cost. You can't paign on a promise to
bring prices down on day.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, I don't know why they strollers are going up?
What kind of a thing I'm saying that gasoline is
going down? Gasoline is thousand to the strollers. Get to
the darts of times.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
More important than as a strollers.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Somebody, what do you say to Americans who say they
voted for you because they want and they need relief
right now, and they're getting it right now.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
What about those even mortgage rations different nights, I just mortgage.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Rations, the fact ConTroll You said dolls, even dolls could
cost a couple bucks more.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Maybe they might, But you don't need to have us,
I said thirty five dollars. You can have two, three,
four and save a lot of money. We don't need
to feed these I guess.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I mean, if you haven't watched it in its entirety,
I mean, it really is. You get sick of me
saying this, But that's the death of journalism, any pretense
of fairness. And the way they play these narratives, narratives
(26:26):
that have one week two week shelf lives, and then
they just move on. How they could all tell the
world Donald Trump can't get elected, Donald Trump can't got that. Well,
Donald Trump get elected, and then they have the nerve
to come back like they have full credibility. People elected
you to fix the economy and it's broken because strollers
(26:47):
and dolls are going up. What happened to eggs two
weeks ago? What about mortgage rates? What about energy? Gasoline.
There is this whole phenomenon that is unexplored of the youth.
I want to end with this because it turns out
(27:10):
and this is the future of America, and depending on
how the Republican Party behaves, the future of its party.
Young people the most loyal base in the Trump coalition.
Someone who's worked hard to build that is Charlie Kirk.
And on Fox he was asked the question why to
(27:31):
young people trust, believe in and support the president so
strongly against them?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Tell us why you believe young people are skating with
President Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, that's absolutely true.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
And listening to that clip of former Vice President Kamala Harris,
I can say, we're finally unburdened by what has been
It feels good that we have new leadership in this country.
But when I look at President Trump's phenomenal commencement address
at the University of Alabama, I feel that it's necessary
to contrast that with a completely different one that Joe
Biden gave at Morehouse University when he was president. When
(28:05):
President Trump gave the speech, it was about optimism and
positivity and you could do anything when you put.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Your mind to it.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
When Joe Biden gave.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
A commencement address.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
It was all about systemic racism and police brutality and
how America has a terrible past. It was about oppression,
and it was a very heavy and sad and negative speech.
And you contrast those two together. And this is one
of the main reasons why we are seeing the greatest
generational realignment since Woodstock, where younger people are not going
(28:33):
to the left like they did in the summer in
nineteen sixty nine. No, they're defying all.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The experts and they're going to the right.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
We are seeing the base of the Democrat Party evaporate.
Democrats are bleeding the core constituency. Young people for so
long have been the cornerstone of the American left.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
They've always It's something we've been fascinated with for a
long time. I don't know, I said when had happened
that University of Alabama speech. It's up there with Kennedy
at Rice and it may go down that historical, just
as I said that picture of Donald Trump sitting on
a chair with Zelenski at the Vatican, that's going to
(29:13):
iconically go down like blood coming down his face with
his fist in the air Fight Fight Fight there's just
no comparing these presidencies. But it goes well beyond that.
There is something generationally afoot, and I think it does
potentially lead to one party's non existence by the end
(29:33):
of the decade, probably a little bit about what Steven A.
Smith is trying to say.
Speaker 12 (29:38):
So, I'm a moderate, and I would say if I
had to run, it would be as a Democrat. But
I'm not happy with the Democratic Party. So the Democratic
Party is presently constructed, it pretty much need to be
purged in order for me to assume that I would
want to be associated with them and I would go
on to their support because I don't like the way
they've gone about doing a lot of things for a
(29:59):
very very long, long period of time. And I think
that I don't view Donald Trump as winning the election.
I view the Democrats as losing the election, as absolutely
positively blowing it with some of their actions. And that's
why I think that, you know, again, if somebody was
to associate me with that the party has presently constructed,
where leads so extremely left or at least have spent
(30:20):
a vast majority of time doing that, oh, that is
not something that I would vibe with at all. I
would definitely be looking to be a game changer in
that regard.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So well, Stephen A. Smith run for president depends if
the Democrat Party exists or not, and whatever left of
the Democrat Party. We'll get to this later in the show.
They're actually cautiously opening the door to another Kamala Harris
run and that, ladies and gentlemen, are your sounds.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Everybody, Look, you just got to try harder, not for
that's the opportunity for free specifics lesson.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Perhaps you'd like to be alone with you.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I think a continuating mental conditions, the politics you don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Us in a pile. This is your Morning Show with
Michael Del Trono. President Trump is directing the Bureau of
Prisons to reopen and expand the historic Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.
And the Cardinals, the College of Cardinals, will have their conclave.
I believe that begins tomorrow or Wednesday. I think it's when. Well,
(31:25):
I got John Decker here, he knows everything. He's a
Supreme Court bar attorney of White House correspondent. I think
the conclave begins Wednesday, right the seventh.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You're asking me.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
The White House correspondent to weigh in on.
Speaker 13 (31:38):
When the conclave begins. Well, but could know, I'm not
that expert. Do you seem to know everything we were
joking off the year behind your back? Because John is
very very good about, you know, texting and sending pictures
where he's at a lot of times it's very useful
information for the show, and then sometimes it's just to
allow me to vicariously live his much more exciting life.
But pretty Sue, we'll get some shots of view from Alcatraz.
(32:00):
If you're following the president out of everything this weekend,
I think that's the biggest Do you want to play
games with me sending people back to where they came
in order to restore law and order? Well, okay, I'll
play that game out reopen Alcatraz. Is the President serious
is the first question.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I think he is.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Well, he is serious right now. You know, it's a
tourist attraction. If you've ever been out to San Francisco,
you can visit Alcatraz. Anybody who wishes to pay that
fee to visit Alcatraz, to take that ferry out to Alcatraz.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Can do that.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
But the President views it as a great penal colony.
And perhaps that's what it's going to be in the future.
That is within the purview of the president. Obviously you
need funding from Congress to.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Do that, but you know, when you have a Republican.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Led house in the Senate, perhaps you would get buy
in for.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
That kind of thing. It's certainly a chess play as
far as sending a message to those who would want
to obstruct the president's ability to deport it's I don't
know that it would how I mean, it's big, but
it's not that big, so we need to be expanded.
I'm not sure what electric and plumbing and revitalization would
be necessary. Probably be a pretty expensive price tag, and
(33:09):
it is a must see as a tourist attraction. Are
you filed the president for the weekend? What else? I
think the week kind of ended with the commencement addressed
at Alabama. That may have been Donald Trump at his
absolute best. It was a masterpiece. What else happened this weekend?
Real quickly?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Well, he did an interview with NBC News.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
It was a wide ranging interview covered so many subjects.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
And by the way, he's going.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
To make some news today.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
The news I would not be surprised if we see
in the Oval Office today Roger Goodell, who is.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Of course the person who runs the NFL.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
The President will announce it in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Seven, the NFL Draft will happen on the National mall
right here in Washington, d C. So a little bit
of sports news coming out of the White House a
little bit later this afternoon. Absolutely huge, right, John Decker follows.
This is his eighth presidency. He'll be following the president.
What can we look forward to this week? Fifteen seconds
that announce all. I'll be in the Oval Office, Michael.
(34:05):
And the reason thing is because the President's going to be.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Meet with the newly.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Elected Prime Minister of Canada and will be interesting to
see what he says about Canada being the fifty first state.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
That'll be tomorrow. Glad to be a fly on the wall.
Will be an interesting meeting. John Decker is always great reporting.
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael vindheld Chow Now
Hey, gang, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning, but glad you're here now for
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Enjoy starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding it, because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill Charman. Seven
minutes after the hour, Classic rock Music has Peter, Paul
and Mary. We have Gabe Gray and Mary coming up
in minutes from now. Real i D deadline is Wednesday.
Trump says he's directing the Bureau of Prisons to reopen
and expand the historic Alcatraz Federal Penitentiarer and the Jets
(00:55):
rallied from behind to force overtime and then one in
double overtime to advance and eliminate the Saint Louis Blues
last night. Good morning, Welcome to your morning show on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app on
this single DeMaio Monday, the fifth of May You have
our Lord twenty twenty five. Well, they call it MC recession,
(01:15):
but there might be more to this story than just
the story itself. But that's how we go beyond the
headlines to the true meeting. National correspondent Roy o'neilis here.
Food prices a rising and people are skeptical, skeptical about
the economy, easy for me to say, and that has
led to a MC recession, Yeah, Michael.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
The specifically, finally, the low and middle income consumers are
increasingly shying away from fast food restaurants. We believe it's
in an attempt to save money, and we're seeing it,
you know, chains like McDonald's. They said their first quarter
revenues were down three point six percent, largely in the
breakfast area, which suggests more people are saying, you know
(01:56):
a lot autos, have a bowl of cereal at home
and make my coffee there. You go, that that adds
up day after day after day. But we're also seeing
it at the other end.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I love this one.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Domino's reports that more people are ordering carry out so
they don't want to pay the three bucks for delivery,
and they don't want to tip the person so instead
they're going to pick up the pie rather than have
it delivered to them as a way to say a
few bucks.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Here and there. You know it is. We were sitting
at gymnastics, the girls were like five or six, and
we hadn't lived here very long, and now on the
Mexican restaurant topic came up, and this one brings up.
I like Garcia's and really delicious food. They have indoor
outdoor seating, and it's got a really nice price point.
(02:40):
And I remember when I made fun of that. But
you know, you don't think about price point until moments
like this. I wonder, I'm thinking of that lady at gymnastics,
how much this is a price point issue. You hit
the nail on the head the notion of okay, priorities. Well,
I know I got to go to lunch today with Rory,
but I don't have to go and spend fifteen dollars
at McDonald It's on breakfast, and I don't have time
(03:02):
to go sit down for twelve dollars and have a
better breakfast let's say a waffle house, So I'm just
gonna eat my cereal. This it becomes a price point thing,
doesn't it. And I think McDonald's loses in that. You know,
I used to have a great experience going to McDonald's.
They get my corn, primer, cheese, fry coke, and a
caramel Sunday with nuts. Now the ice cream machine rarely works.
(03:23):
They won't give you nuts, and it's thirteen dollars. Thirteen
dollars McDonald's. It no longer makes sense. It's a price
point thing more than anything.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think, yeah, absolutely, And you know, there is an
economic philosophy that when times are tougher, actually we splurge
more on these cheaper indulgences like ice cream like McDonald's
or a fast food place because we can't afford the
big family vacations. They say, all right, Sunday afternoon, let's
all go out for ice cream instead. So or there's
(03:52):
some will say let's all go up for a drink instead, whatever,
but we tend to have Well, what the point being
that you tend to have these smaller price point, lower
price point indulgences that you have in these tougher times
because you can't afford the big expensive thing like let's
got a new TV or we're all going to Disney Wold.
(04:12):
So I agree it is an interesting phenomenon that tends
to happen. So when you see lower and middle income
households say, you know what, we're going to shy away
from the fast food, that's that could be a more
permanent change.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, because there's other other ways of looking at it too,
which is, hey, I don't have Disney kind of money.
By the way, I'm not a fan of Disney, and
we had a terrible family experience there. I have no
desire to go back. But let's do Dollywood. A. We
can drive there and avoid the high air fare and
b have just as good a time or better time.
So we're seeing choices that are made, and some of
(04:45):
them are more than others, I'll ask. I want to
end with the typical question everybody's going to ask you today.
Is this a recession problem or a McDonald's problem? The
answer is both, right, Well.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I'd say I'd also point to the recession side because
Taco Bell, meanwhile, which I as a lower price point,
is seeing a surgeon business. It's up what nine percent
increase in sales in their most recent quarter. So yeah,
people are still looking for that convenience. But maybe they're
making choices either based on budget or you know you
can get some lettuce at Taco Bella.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Anyway, Well, I said some perisery over the weekend. Voice
sounds a little bit better. Still getting beat up by allergies.
Watch how much? Watch how much he'll deteriorate when he
comes back. At the third hour after about ten reports,
but Jerry's selection begins the p Did he trial Rory
back with that in the third hour? All right? I
was joking. Classic Rock This morning has Peter, Paul and Mary.
(05:37):
We have Gabray and Mary. Let's start with Mary's Good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Michael Trump was asked yet again in his interview with
NBC yesterday about bringing the MS thirteen gang member back
to the United States from l Salvador. And I think
the Alcatraz idea is a way for him to put
a thumb in the eye of those people who are
in favor of that. If you don't want me to
send it to El Salvador, I'll put him in the
(06:02):
midst of your view of the most lefty city in
the United States. Have a great ding, I always do
when you call.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Thank you, Mary. We talked about this in the opening
Platinum Card Hour. The funny part about Donald Trump is
you never know. Did he just think of this, Does
this just fly out of his mouth for the first
time and then he goes with it? Or to Mary's suggestion,
it's a brilliant chess play with the core harassment he's
(06:32):
getting and you never know because his delivery is so perfect.
That's why we love Mary. Mary gets it. He wasn't
even listening and came to the same conclusion. I actually
think this is okay you want to interrupt. I mean,
I'm in the process of doing what the American people
(06:52):
elected me to do. Secure the border. The border crossings
are almost non existent. Now get these dangerous people off
our streets and out of our culture and return them
to where they belong. Oh, you want to interfere with that.
You want to force us to do these wanted to time.
They didn't enter one at a time. In a court case,
(07:13):
it was an invasion and overload of like twenty thousand
and then dispersed on purpose throughout the country, knowing that
had they been in ice beads, they'd have been processed
and nine out of ten of them would have been
returned home. But once you move them inside the country,
it can take three years, nine years. It can never happen.
So you want to let them all in in mass
(07:35):
but now you want to try them one by one
on the way out. Well, I got just the place.
You don't want me to send them home, I'll send
them to the rock Alcatraz. It's pretty brilliant stuff. Although
it is my favorite. We did this too in the
five o'clock car, and I will I will spare everybody
reliving me going through every place I have ever been
(07:56):
and trying to think if anything had an impact on me,
like Alcatraz. It was one of my most fun tourists.
But stops ever, Nothing even comes close. The boat ride
to the rock, getting off the way the prisoners did,
wondering is this howl? Is this right where al Capone walked?
You know? Then that you go through the processing center,
(08:18):
it's I remember being on the island thinking, you know,
if somebody just gutted this thing and made it really
high end condos, who the heck wouldn't pay big bucks
to live out on the rock. So my first thought was, no,
don't do it. Trump. It's my favorite place to go,
and I haven't gotten a chance to take my son
(08:38):
Nick yet because you put the headphones on, you really
relived the experience. Look, you ain't lived to you walk
in one of those cells. I don't know how to
describe you. You think you know how small they are,
but you don't. It basically fits a twin size bed.
And maybe I don't think the average Americans wait today,
would even allow you to stand sideways and you're up
(08:59):
against the wall and your feet are on the wall
next to the you know, it's just basically a sink,
a toilet, and a twin bet that's it. And then
you go into solitary. Oh, but the best is to
have the headphones on and going to the mess all
or go out into the yard and you have all
the ambient sound when the prison was intact. But I
(09:19):
think it's a brilliant move from Donald Trump. All right,
I can see the clock. Let's get to Peter, Paul
and Mary. Oh we had Gabe Ray and Mary, so
that must mean Ray is next.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Let's go to retire whorking as a sub in our
local school system. And I'm shocked beyond belief. Fifth graders
who can't even print their name. Parents are totally disengaged,
The teachers are just frustrated. It's sad, but that's where
we're at now. And my morning show is still your
morning show is Michael de Giordo.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It really is.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
One of the things I always and I think Ray
would agree with this, Remind people people my age, I
haven't been in I haven't in school since nineteen eighty two.
If you're like me, you haven't been in school since
nineteen eighty two. Schools are unrecognizable from nineteen eighty two.
And I'm talking the textbook material, the curriculum, the teachers,
(10:18):
the behavior, the standards. When I was younger. I don't
want to sound like that person, but when I was younger,
if you didn't pass, you failed. I have just witnessed
three kids go through high school, and I'm telling you,
you don't pass, you still pass. It's the most insane
(10:38):
thing I ever saw. And they do it with catch up.
They do it with just turning a blind eye. They
do it with dumbing down the standard, but you just
keep passing. We've lowered the standard to accommodate our failures.
And the biggest failure of all, as you'll see in
our Journey of Discovery, is the breakdown of the family,
(11:00):
is the breakdown of education, which is the breakdown and
why we can't get people and a caste system to
pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get out. Now
some do, but by and large they don't. And the
key is a married mom and dad and an intact family.
By the way, if you missed our Journey of Discovery,
use the podcast hour one. It's worth it. Gabe is next.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
So you're a few years older than a figure.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I'm forty three, just too, probably forty.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Four webs day. But I think our carrier.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Generation you can't hear your sow is probably all left
to our own devices.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
That's just how it was. I don't know, that's how
it works for me.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, the Dell Journal boys were left in their own devices.
We were the last key kids, right uh yeah, other,
you know, of all the things. When he was talking,
that came to my mind. We had moved from Chicago
to New Orleans, which was too much culture shock. And
when we first moved there, waiting for our house to
be ready to be moved in, we stayed at the
(12:06):
Hilton in Kenner and so we had that reference point.
So then they drop us off. We go from Arlington Heights,
Illinois Public schools, which at the time feels so futuristic
and so posh and so nice. To this little private school,
Keyho Academy across the street from the Levee and the
Mississippi River in New Orleans. And I couldn't understand people.
(12:30):
We're going to get Jayjay, Get to Dirty Rack. What's
dirty rice? They don't watch the rice. No, Dirty Rag's
got a living. I don't need to living with my
right Get to Popeye. Then get the dool bees all
want meat, or get a pole boy, drep pole boy.
Who's some guy's gonna come dressed? All right? So it
was just a nightmare. So I'll never forget my brother Victims.
You know, it's like between classes. Hey, Moe, I got Bobby.
(12:52):
We're getting out of here. It was like Alcatraz and
we just start walking down Jefferson Highway, make our way
to Airline Highway, make our way to the hotel. We
spent the entire day by the pool where we lived
in our full school uniform. Yeah, we were kind of
raising ourselves. I want to finish with this, Jim Wrights,
I love these kinds of stories. Michael in nineteen seventy
eight is a fourteen year old kid from Queen's myself,
(13:13):
my brother and our friends. One of my friends who
was the cousin of Ben Stiller. We snuck into Belmont Racetrack,
climbed into the trees on the straightaway before the final turn,
and watched the jockey right affirmed passed us to win
the triple Crown at that closeness the horses hooves. I
think this is why I cried when I watched the
(13:34):
movie Secretariat and they cut they cut all the sound
and you just hear the If you've never stood at
the rail and watch these magnificent athletes come by you
at full speed, it is it is breathtaking. So I
know exactly what he's describing, and in this case is
triple crown winner affirmed going at the closeness the horses
(13:57):
hooves shook the tree we were in. It is one
of the most precious memories of my childhood. Jim and
Franklin Tennessee, Well, my brothers and I I do recall
walked from our neighborhood in Arlington Heights all the way
to Arlington Racetrack to see Secretariat as a four year
old run in a race. I have memories very similar
(14:17):
to that. By the way, speaking of Secretariat, everyone forgets
Sham Sham may have been one of the greatest horses
ever to lose barely at the Kentucky Derby, barely at
the Breakness and significantly at the Belmont. Just picked a
bad time to be one of the greatest horses of
all times against Secretariat. Same thing is true for Affirmed
(14:40):
with Ali Dahr. I mean that matchup between Affirmed and
Ali Dar, and it's so easy to forget Ali Dar.
But that horse was there in every one of those races,
but all Affirmed Seattle slew Secretariat, American Pharaoh. We've seen
some great ones in our lifetime. Appreciate the calls, Appreciate
the emails. You can always see a late edition. By
the way, you need to hear this a late edition
to talkbacks. This is Tim. Good morning, Michael. Thanks for
(15:03):
had a great tip on Sandman over the weekend. Okay,
now I gotta go back to work on a great day.
Hey should have stied with John's picks. No, I stand
by my jockey road a terrible rate. It's your Morning
show with Michael del Chino. Roger emailed me earlier. Trump
(15:24):
is an expert at keeping leftist tear on fire. In
the latest reopening Alcatraz, Trump said in a post on
truth Social that America has been plagued by vicious, violent,
and repeat criminal offenders, and that the country in the
past did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous
criminals and keep them far away from anyone they could harm.
He went on to say Alcatraz will house America's most
(15:47):
ruthless and violent offenders, adding that it'll serve as a
symbol of law, order and justice. Alcatraz sits on a
small island about a mile off the shore of San Francisco.
It served as a prison from nineteen thirty four to
nineteen sixty three and is now a museum. I'm Chris Karanjia.
Do you want me to just do the news or
do you want me to shoot straight with you? The
news is the real ID deadline is still Wednesday. Shooting
(16:08):
straight with you. Good luck. You've missed the deadline. If
you don't have a real ID, you can't get one
by Wednesday. You can't even get I don't think you
can get a passport by Wednesday. I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa,
and my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
Jill's Una. Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be
(16:31):
heard weekday mornings in great cities like Tulsa, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or thrilled you're
here now enjoy the podcast. This is the fledgling new
Your Morning Show. Mediocre show at best, But if we
(16:52):
ever released what I do during the commercial breaks, I
think it'd be a runaway number one show in the country.
We'd all get fun.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
In fact, I just broke into who can make a sunrise? Yeah,
sprinkle it with de Sami man, cover it with chocolate
and a soft shoot too.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh that can't could perform the Sami men, always revealing,
often entertaining. You tuned in just in time for the
sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and puberty.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal. It's going to work out, all right.
We start with the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Uh the president on Air Force One was asked a
very ridiculous military question that of course he wouldn't answer
(17:56):
right saying that I offer.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
You said you and into Mexico to take care of
the cartels. She wants to know is that true? Do
you think I'm going to answer that question. I will
answer it. It's true, absolutely, because they should be. They
are horrible people that have been killing.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
People left and right, that have been They've made.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
A fortunate selling drugs and destroying our people. We lost
three hundred thousand people last year too, fitted all the
drugs their bad news. Yeah, that's true. If Mexico wanted
help with the cartels, we would be honored to go
in to do it. I told her that I would
be honored to go in and do it. The cartels
had tried to destroy our country. They're evil, and you know,
(18:42):
we had three hundred thousand people died last year from
fens and all and all that, we had hundreds, we
had millions of people brought into this.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So the question is why doesn't the Mexican president ask
him to do it? Well, this is definitely a sound
of the weekend right as they bread for home and sovereignty.
The good sand Man, poor guy didn't have a chance up.
Two of them go right by with un any wider
they'd have been in the pa Separente knows to those
(19:11):
down to the last sixteenth of a mile, sovereignty has
taken the lead. Journalism is second four they had signed
by Kles third. But it will be sovereignty to rule.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I know a lot of people had a lot of
fun virally online with the irony of sovereignty reigning over journalism.
How apropos in the political year twenty twenty five. But
two magnificent horses coming down the stretch, and one gets
a sense that those two will go at it again.
(19:47):
You know, I brought up earlier the everybody remembers affirmed
a triple crown winner. But AlIdar was right there at
every race. I really think sovereignty and journalism are going
to be connect at the practice in Belmont as well.
Sloppy track. Sandman, which was my pick, really ran the
right race, had the right moment, should have gone inside,
(20:09):
went outside, then got further forced outside and ended up
coming and forth. And I think a lot of my
listeners hate me for it.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
All.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Right back to President Trump.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Shall we if I own stock and something, and I
do a good job and the stock market goes up,
I guess I'm profiting. But who really profits to somebody
like Nancy Pelosi who uses inside information. She worked for
one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year, and
that's at the high end, and she's worth one hundred
(20:41):
and fifty two hundred million dollars. Okay, you had to
look at Nancy Pelosi, and you had to look at
some of these politicians at a stone called crooks. I
was very wealthy when I came in being president. I
probably cost me money if you really look if.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I probably The president's visit with Meet the Press was
spectacular if you think he's found a new form. The
one hundred day rally outside of Detroit was pretty magnificent,
only to be topped by the commencement address at the
(21:19):
University of Alabama, and then in a little bit of
a different way, maybe even topped in his one on
one with Meet the Press where he just absolutely eight
NBC's lunch. But yeah, the notion is, oh, well, let's
(21:42):
focus on eggs, as if President Trump had anything to
do with it, and then they recover, well, let's focus
on oil, and then it recovers, then the mineral deal
gets done. I mean, we're gonna visit with David Sanaudi
about this. How many things got to happen before. Well,
maybe this guy's so stupid, huh, But to try to
attack the president because you were Your narrative was, we
(22:02):
have regrets, he's tanked the economy, and then when everything
starts turning around, well you're benefiting from the stock It's ludicrous.
But then it's not Christin Walker. Here's round two of
their matchup.
Speaker 10 (22:19):
Prices are already going up on some popular and strollers.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
This is such a dishonest interview. Already prices are down
on grocers, Prices are down for oil, prices are down
for oil energy. Prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And let me tell you, when you have the big thing,
what he did.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
He spent like a stupid person, which he was, but
he spent like a very stupid person.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And I mean, listen, I don't know if this is
the golden age of America, but this is the golden
age of presidency. Do you think we're ever going to
have a president be dishonest again? I praise, so I hope.
So let me tell you something. This is Mount Rushmore stuff.
She's playing her silly little games, thinking this is media
(23:09):
nineteen ninety six and it's not. He just slaps her
silly with facts references, Biden calling him stupid. But watch Wregos.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That was bad for inflation. But what really killed us
with inflation was the price of energy. It went up
to three dollars and ninety even four dollars and in
California five and six dollars. Right, okay, I have it
down to a dollar ninety eight in many states right now,
when you go that much lower on energy, which is
ahead of my prediction, because I really thought I could
(23:45):
get it down into the two fifties. We have it
down at a dollar ninety eight in numerous places. But
when you say course of going up, even mortgage rates
are going down.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well, let me give you some examples these, I mean handpits,
some examples that make my narrative point, not your look,
housing vehicles. The President's biggest point in that was COVID.
Now he sits a little bit on the you know,
in that storyline of COVID, he got duped by Fauci
(24:19):
Fauci walked in and told him two millions are going
to be dead by easter. He shut down the country.
He thought Fauci was an expert. Turns out he's a
fraud as we know him now belongs in jail. But
the amount of money that we released into the economy
so that people would stay home, as we picked and
(24:43):
choosed who could stay home and who was necessary, that's
the cause of the great inflation hike. Unearned money is inflationary,
and it went on for years. She's going to try
to redirect and come back to one or two samples.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
I mean, these are actual examples. They're going So you're
saying the prices that are going down, some prices are
going up, tires, strollers, some clothing in the wake of
your territory.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's peanuts compared to energy. Energy is sixty percent.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Of the cost. You can't paign on a promise to
bring prices down on day.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, I don't know why they strollers are going up?
What kind of a thing I'm saying that gasoline is
going down? Gasoline is thousand to the strollers. Get to
the darts of times.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
More important than as a strollers.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Somebody, what do you say to Americans who say they
voted for you because they want and they need relief
right now, and they're getting it right now.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
What about those even mortgage rations different nights, I just mortgage.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Rations, the fact ConTroll You said dolls, even dolls could
cost a couple bucks more.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Maybe they might, But you don't need to have us,
I said thirty five dollars. You can have two, three,
four and save a lot of money. We don't need
to feed these I guess.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I mean, if you haven't watched it in its entirety,
I mean, it really is. You get sick of me
saying this, But that's the death of journalism, any pretense
of fairness. And the way they play these narratives, narratives
(26:26):
that have one week two week shelf lives, and then
they just move on. How they could all tell the
world Donald Trump can't get elected, Donald Trump can't got that. Well,
Donald Trump get elected, and then they have the nerve
to come back like they have full credibility. People elected
you to fix the economy and it's broken because strollers
(26:47):
and dolls are going up. What happened to eggs two
weeks ago? What about mortgage rates? What about energy? Gasoline.
There is this whole phenomenon that is unexplored of the youth.
I want to end with this because it turns out
(27:10):
and this is the future of America, and depending on
how the Republican Party behaves, the future of its party.
Young people the most loyal base in the Trump coalition.
Someone who's worked hard to build that is Charlie Kirk.
And on Fox he was asked the question why to
(27:31):
young people trust, believe in and support the president so
strongly against them?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Tell us why you believe young people are skating with
President Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, that's absolutely true.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
And listening to that clip of former Vice President Kamala Harris,
I can say, we're finally unburdened by what has been
It feels good that we have new leadership in this country.
But when I look at President Trump's phenomenal commencement address
at the University of Alabama, I feel that it's necessary
to contrast that with a completely different one that Joe
Biden gave at Morehouse University when he was president. When
(28:05):
President Trump gave the speech, it was about optimism and
positivity and you could do anything when you put.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Your mind to it.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
When Joe Biden gave.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
A commencement address.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
It was all about systemic racism and police brutality and
how America has a terrible past. It was about oppression,
and it was a very heavy and sad and negative speech.
And you contrast those two together. And this is one
of the main reasons why we are seeing the greatest
generational realignment since Woodstock, where younger people are not going
(28:33):
to the left like they did in the summer in
nineteen sixty nine. No, they're defying all.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The experts and they're going to the right.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
We are seeing the base of the Democrat Party evaporate.
Democrats are bleeding the core constituency. Young people for so
long have been the cornerstone of the American left.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
They've always It's something we've been fascinated with for a
long time. I don't know, I said when had happened
that University of Alabama speech. It's up there with Kennedy
at Rice and it may go down that historical, just
as I said that picture of Donald Trump sitting on
a chair with Zelenski at the Vatican, that's going to
(29:13):
iconically go down like blood coming down his face with
his fist in the air Fight Fight Fight there's just
no comparing these presidencies. But it goes well beyond that.
There is something generationally afoot, and I think it does
potentially lead to one party's non existence by the end
(29:33):
of the decade, probably a little bit about what Steven A.
Smith is trying to say.
Speaker 12 (29:38):
So, I'm a moderate, and I would say if I
had to run, it would be as a Democrat. But
I'm not happy with the Democratic Party. So the Democratic
Party is presently constructed, it pretty much need to be
purged in order for me to assume that I would
want to be associated with them and I would go
on to their support because I don't like the way
they've gone about doing a lot of things for a
(29:59):
very very long, long period of time. And I think
that I don't view Donald Trump as winning the election.
I view the Democrats as losing the election, as absolutely
positively blowing it with some of their actions. And that's
why I think that, you know, again, if somebody was
to associate me with that the party has presently constructed,
where leads so extremely left or at least have spent
(30:20):
a vast majority of time doing that, oh, that is
not something that I would vibe with at all. I
would definitely be looking to be a game changer in
that regard.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So well, Stephen A. Smith run for president depends if
the Democrat Party exists or not, and whatever left of
the Democrat Party. We'll get to this later in the show.
They're actually cautiously opening the door to another Kamala Harris
run and that, ladies and gentlemen, are your sounds.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Everybody, Look, you just got to try harder, not for
that's the opportunity for free specifics lesson.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Perhaps you'd like to be alone with you.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I think a continuating mental conditions, the politics you don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Us in a pile. This is your Morning Show with
Michael Del Trono. President Trump is directing the Bureau of
Prisons to reopen and expand the historic Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.
And the Cardinals, the College of Cardinals, will have their conclave.
I believe that begins tomorrow or Wednesday. I think it's when. Well,
(31:25):
I got John Decker here, he knows everything. He's a
Supreme Court bar attorney of White House correspondent. I think
the conclave begins Wednesday, right the seventh.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You're asking me.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
The White House correspondent to weigh in on.
Speaker 13 (31:38):
When the conclave begins. Well, but could know, I'm not
that expert. Do you seem to know everything we were
joking off the year behind your back? Because John is
very very good about, you know, texting and sending pictures
where he's at a lot of times it's very useful
information for the show, and then sometimes it's just to
allow me to vicariously live his much more exciting life.
But pretty Sue, we'll get some shots of view from Alcatraz.
(32:00):
If you're following the president out of everything this weekend,
I think that's the biggest Do you want to play
games with me sending people back to where they came
in order to restore law and order? Well, okay, I'll
play that game out reopen Alcatraz. Is the President serious
is the first question.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I think he is.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Well, he is serious right now. You know, it's a
tourist attraction. If you've ever been out to San Francisco,
you can visit Alcatraz. Anybody who wishes to pay that
fee to visit Alcatraz, to take that ferry out to Alcatraz.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Can do that.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
But the President views it as a great penal colony.
And perhaps that's what it's going to be in the future.
That is within the purview of the president. Obviously you
need funding from Congress to.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Do that, but you know, when you have a Republican.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Led house in the Senate, perhaps you would get buy
in for.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
That kind of thing. It's certainly a chess play as
far as sending a message to those who would want
to obstruct the president's ability to deport it's I don't
know that it would how I mean, it's big, but
it's not that big, so we need to be expanded.
I'm not sure what electric and plumbing and revitalization would
be necessary. Probably be a pretty expensive price tag, and
(33:09):
it is a must see as a tourist attraction. Are
you filed the president for the weekend? What else? I
think the week kind of ended with the commencement addressed
at Alabama. That may have been Donald Trump at his
absolute best. It was a masterpiece. What else happened this weekend?
Real quickly?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Well, he did an interview with NBC News.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
It was a wide ranging interview covered so many subjects.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
And by the way, he's going.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
To make some news today.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
The news I would not be surprised if we see
in the Oval Office today Roger Goodell, who is.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Of course the person who runs the NFL.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
The President will announce it in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Seven, the NFL Draft will happen on the National mall
right here in Washington, d C. So a little bit
of sports news coming out of the White House a
little bit later this afternoon. Absolutely huge, right, John Decker follows.
This is his eighth presidency. He'll be following the president.
What can we look forward to this week? Fifteen seconds
that announce all. I'll be in the Oval Office, Michael.
(34:05):
And the reason thing is because the President's going to be.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Meet with the newly.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Elected Prime Minister of Canada and will be interesting to
see what he says about Canada being the fifty first state.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
That'll be tomorrow. Glad to be a fly on the wall.
Will be an interesting meeting. John Decker is always great reporting.
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
