Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio
five seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and news Radio one
thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen
to us live in the morning, and of course we're
so grateful you came for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in the stage.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. The
real id deadline is tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
White House cutting off new federal research grants to hove
At University for anti Semitism violations and Prime Minister Karney
coming to the White House.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Is there gonna be some negotiation? Oh, to be a
fly on the wall.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
John Decker, our White House correspondent, will be joining us
next half hour on that meeting. Can't have your morning
show without your voice, sofa, not by listener to the.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Which one we got the poll? Guy? I want to
do the negative poll before Rory does a poll.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'm hey, good morning. If you could pass something along
to sorry, that's the wrong one.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
You just you know what, you just dropped the ball
I had, Rory, I have you? You got excuses is
what you got?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Well?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I got it?

Speaker 3 (01:23):
No good reasons. Yeah, good morning Mike, there it is.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Thank you for quoting more polls than no one trusts.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Not a joke, moke, I do like the moke is
catching on more than pizza Boy eight minutes after the
hour on this Tuesday made the six more poles in polls.
You don't trust Rory O'Neil is here, Stocks are falling,
gold is soaring. What are the best investments for our money?
Good morning Americans. Americans think it's real estate.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
According to a new Gallup poll that just came out
this week, thirty seven percent of adults say real estate
is the best long term event. Now that number pretty
much flat from last year, but we are seeing a
swing in the number of Americans who think that the
stock market is a good investment. Now keep in mind
this Gallop survey was conducted the first two weeks of April.

(02:13):
Right smack Dad and the tariff and the swinging stock
markets in disease, So that took a five point hit
down to about sixteen percent. Gold, on the other hand,
took a five point bump. So thirty seven percent of
Americans think real estate is the best long term investment,
twenty three percent say it's gold, sixteen percent say the

(02:33):
stock market.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Now this would be completely anecdotal, but I can tell
you that my investment in my four to oh one
k over sixteen years at my previous company was dwarfed
by the value increase of the home I bought. But
that's completely anecdotal, and that's grabbing a sliver of time

(02:58):
where if you lived where I live, lived in the
Nashville metro area, and that would be the county that
I chose, the neighborhood that I chose, that I bought
so well at the time versus what it's appreciated to
And then you're comparing that. You know, but if you
compare that to the market over a historical balance, with
a diversified account, a balanced account, and a balanced portfolio

(03:22):
based on a risk tolerance of your age and based
on your asset, I mean, there's just so many intangibles here, right,
But to grab a poll right when the market's tanking,
right when gold is soaring, right where most housing is
unaffordable and too high. Well, of course it's going to
come back like this. There, I did the heavy lifting
for you.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Well, I would also say that this is an annual
survey that's done the same time every year by Gallup,
And the fact that the real estate number didn't move
very much is also interesting there. And all the things
you just listed there about the benefits of home ownership,
you didn't even talk about the tax benefits, whether it's
the tax deduction of the moreage interest. You got a
much better it's much better to you when you sell

(04:04):
that home and make a profit than when you try
to sell a stock after making a profit.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
And like stocks, this home is only really that. Well, no,
that wouldn't be true because I could do a helock
with the value. But basically, it's not really money you've
made until you sell it. And nobody really wants to
sell right now with these interest rates, and you're going
to pay more for a lot less. But yeah, I mean,
it's just I was looking at buying a I guess

(04:28):
you would call it a townhouse for my mom a
couple of years ago, and it would I think it
was two hundred and twenty thousand, and had I done
that it's not worth seven hundred and fifty. I mean
I was that would have matched eighteen years of a
four to oh one k build up as well. But
I mean it's all, you know, in the long run,
if I had a kid, I would certainly preach real estate.

(04:51):
That's a great long term investment. And I certainly wouldn't
speak against the stock market. And I think I think
I think the stock market would take a historical stand
with gold any day. It's all about the timing, Yeah,
it's all about that timing. But what do you make
just I know we're down to thirty seconds, but what
do you make of calls like that one? I mean
it is there's an irony to it. I mean, we

(05:13):
do still talk about polls, even though the one thing
we all agree on is the polls aren't accurate.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
I just take them for what they're worth, that's right me,
Just like why you know, I don't get upset about Okay,
there's a poll that's to that.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Hur right, you know? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
No, And I mean poles have been abused. Polls are
having a problem right now because I don't landline about number.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, and it's that whole rule about numbers is that
you can make numbers say anything, so exactly depends on
what you're doing with it.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
I'm always going to be back.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
The Trump administration restarts collections of millions in default student loans.
How does this process begin as the president continues to
clean up past messes? Well, speaking of poles, I would
book end because I don't want to make WORI standalone.
So we have two polls. I don't necessarily live and
die on the hill of the results of this poll
as much as I exegete the theme from both of

(06:03):
the polls. So the first poll we did was a quote,
a quote everyone would assume was Donald.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Trump in fact red and I talked off the air.
I think it was off the air.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Wouldn't it be fun to do some historic quotes and
have you try to guess who said them, because I
could get you some William Jefferson Clinton and some baraqu
Saine Obama quotes that you would swear were Donald Trump.
Which is the gist of that poll, not so much
the numbers. As of course, we know the immigration system
is broke, and not just the illegal immigration system, the

(06:34):
legal immigration system.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Now how do you fix it?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
And then when you go to the next layer of
the question, which is do you think we're giving too
many rights to people?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
In other words, they.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Broke into your house and now they're claiming they have
your last name. How much rights in a courtroom do
you want to give them? What is an American a
GPS location or did as you enter the country through
the legal process become a legal citizen, therefore afforded the
legal rights. So the left wants to let them pour

(07:10):
in by the millions, disperse them throughout the country, knowing
it would take seven, nine years or never to go
through the court process, where if you were to put
them in the ice beds, nine out of ten of
them would have faced deportation immediately. So you broke it
one way, but you don't want to fix it by

(07:32):
reversing your tracks. Now it's convenient. You want each one
individually processed. Well, our hypocrisy of the day is that
about eighty six percent of those that Obama deported did
not get due process, did not get trials. So why
is it so evil now because it's Trump, it's not Obama.
Because the narrative from the legacy, mainstream media or for

(07:56):
the opposition party, the left wants it to be so
so you all know the game you're playing. But I'm
looking for like a deeper threat, a deeper thread of
these people at universities who think they're so smart, These
people at Comcast and Disney and at the major networks

(08:19):
and newspapers that think they're so much smarter than you.
These political operatives and institutes and packs behind them that
think that they can manipulate you into thinking and doing
whatever they want. They always underestimate the intelligence of the
American people and their ability to figure out even complex issues.

(08:42):
Why do I do this, Well, it's similar to the
Crockett commencement address. I'm going to play in Sounds of
the day. You have Donald Trump at the University of
Alabama giving you ten keys to success, coming from a
credible guy of success in the private sector and as
a two term president. And they were powerful ten points,

(09:06):
and it was filled with possibility, positivity and encouragement and commencement.
And then you know a lot of people comparing that
to Joe Biden's Morehead Morehouse University speech, which was very negative.
Well that's what you get from Crockett in Jackson, Mississippi.

(09:28):
Very negative, very hateful. See I think there's positives in
all of this. I think it's a very positive thing.
I used to joke, never underestimate the ignorance of the
American people, and everybody misunderstood that because people always conflate

(09:49):
ignorance and stupidity, and they're not the same. I am
a very smart person on some things and very ignorant
on others. The example I always used was we walked
into my son's high school chemistry. Was it chemistry or biology?
I can't remember what it was. I think it was chemistry. Yeah,

(10:10):
it was chemistry, Yeah, chemistry. And I said, you guys
aren't going to dissect any really big animals, are you,
Because you know we love animals in our family. He goes, well,
we don't dissect animals. This is chemistry. We blow things up,
all right, Because I'm ignorant.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
But the chemistry was at periodical table, whatever that thing.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is in front of it. I don't know any of it.
I'm ignorant, not stupid. It never interests me. I don't
watch it, I didn't learn it. I don't follow it.
Now there are other topics don't bring up around me.
I know them inside and out. Some that might surprise you.

(10:52):
I know everything there is to know about horse racing.
I didn't know that well. I do it interests me.
I loved horses that simple. So people conflate ignorance and stupidity.
So I would say, never underestimate the ignorance of the
American people, meaning that they're looking somewhere else, They're interested
in other things. I just dropped the phrase altogether because

(11:12):
it had a negative connotation. The American people are by
and large very smart. The two things I'm most in
awe of as an American the brilliance of our founding fathers,
the genuineness of their faith and brilliantly putting it into
action in what it formed. Every generation thinks it's smarter

(11:33):
than the previous generation, and it's not. It's declining. Some
of you could read a love letter from your grandfather
to your grandmother and you're in awe of their language
and vocabulary and punctuation. It was a smarter time, a

(11:54):
pre emoji time. But throughout history, the American peopleeople's ability
to see through all the narratives and lines. It takes
a while, sometimes it takes something really painful, like nine
to eleven, but they'll wake up and because it's ignorance
and not stupidity, then they'll look at it. And that's

(12:16):
what I think we see in both of these polls.
Let me do this one real quick, because amount of
time Americans say that they're concerned about the spread of
fake news, we all know that. And with AI it's
going to get even harder. So all right, that's a problem.
What's the solution. Protect freedom of speech or no, we
got to have a government appointed power that censors all

(12:41):
of this disinformation. If you give the choice to the
American people, guess what they say, Well, eighty five percent
believe it's a better approach to allow free speech even
if speech is sometimes offensive or inaccurate. I got news
for you. For decades, I have watched the mainstream media
protect acted with freedom of the speech, assumed if it's

(13:02):
in print, it's accurate, and it wasn't. I've lived with
inaccurate information my entire life, and in many cases offensive.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
This is not anything new.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
What is powerful and positive is that eight and a
half out of ten Americans are smart enough not to
fall for this and get the better approaches. You protect
freedom of speech at all costs, even if something an
accurate or offensive slips through.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Only seven percent of.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
America said the government should decide these are the hills
that this matrix divided political culture is living and dying on.
Not so much the Republicans, but Trump and trump Ism
is playing all the right hills, and whatever the Democrat

(13:58):
Party is in its own little civil war, neither side,
progressive or socialist is playing these hills very well. Seventy
nine percent said it was more important to allow all
voices to be heard than to limit speech to prevent
the spread of disinformation. Thirteen percent sat preventing the spread
of disinformation is more important. Paul also found the seventy
three percent say that they're worried that allowing such free
speech will be used to spread disinformation. Among Democrats, overwhelmingly,

(14:24):
eighty four percent were worried, still substantial on the Republican
side sixty five percent, but both together, even in the
midst of the matrix, agree the only thing worse than
being offended or temporarily misled would be to lose a
bedrock of what we stand for and have any power

(14:50):
given to a government or any entity to censor.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael Delchno.

trade war between the two countries. Trump has also increased
attentions suggesting that Canada should become part of the US.

making your morning show a part of your big day.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
This is Shannon Gregory and my morning show is your
morning show with Michael de Jono.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Enjoyed the podcast on the air and streaming live on
your heart radiop This is your morning show. The conversation
off the air is it's one of those examples of
where we're evy alternate universes here and it almost is
more interesting than what I'm getting ready to do. But

(16:56):
Jeffrey out of the blue, asks who had the sweetest
swing of your general of our generation and our generation?

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I mean, what is my generation?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Do I go all the way back to Hank Aaron,
Roberto Clemente, Dick Allen, or.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Do I of our generation? Yes?

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well, but yeah, but it extends all the way. And
so we start having this conversation. And it didn't matter
whether it was I brought up Will Clark. Will's from
Mississippi and played with Mississippi State. Wally Joyner was his
teammate for many years. Just a beautiful swing. I brought
up Ken Gift, Griffy Junior. I'm trying to think who
else who brought up Tony Gwen. We noticed they're all lefties. Justice,

(17:35):
I'll never get tap Bens from our high school baseball team.
When when I bumped in him at whatever reunion, it was, oh,
you had the most beautiful swing. I think it just
looks better from the left handed swing, just looks better.
We start to mind, like to go what about current time,
and I go, well, Aaron Judge is pretty good.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
It's a beautiful, effortless powerful swing.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
But you know, all the greats Henry Aaron, even the
babe you know I was watching.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
I get addicted to those, and you know.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Back in the old days, they bring the camera right
out on the field can you imagine Aaron Judge being
up and the guy's holding the camera like two feet
away from him and just filming him while he's playing
in a game. Or you know, remember how the old
days they'd be sliding into home and all the reporters
with their cameras would come rushing right around the umpire
to snap the pictures and they quick shot. But uh,
this was a really good shot and it wasn't all

(18:26):
jittery like some of those older footages can be very clear, colorized,
obviously treated, but it's like standing at and it was
a beautiful sway. But you know the babe too a lefty,
So it's funny how that is. I want we could
do that as a talk pack. Nobody responded to my
travel site travel sites that sound like prescription drugs, like Travago,

(18:50):
So maybe you'll do Sweetest Swing. All right, Well, I
got good news, and I got I've got well, I
got good news and not necessarily Uh, I got bad
news and not necessarily good news, just revealing news.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
So what do you want? Bad news are revealing news.
I'll give us the bad news. You're one of those
who likes to start with the bad. Yeah, let's get
it out of the way. All right.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, here's the bad news. A sure seat is now
no longer sure. This is a blow to the GOP
chances of flipping a seat, a Senate seat in the
state of Georgia. In twenty twenty six, Brian Kemp, the
Governor's decided not to run. He was all but a winner,
a shoe win to flip this seat. I guess you
would have insiders debate, and you have Senator Thun trying

(19:32):
to put a good spin on this that there are
a lot of people that are interested. The first question
would be why would he not be interested? From governor
to senator, key seat and a key state take win
for the team, that kind of thing. He would be
a solid, easy win if he ran. By not running,

(19:53):
I think at best you make this a toss up,
but I think red would agree. A lot of people
would read it may even lean Democrat without Kemp in
the race, So that's clearly not good news. The Popular
Republican would have been a prime recruit to run against Asoff,

(20:14):
and Kemp said in a statement posted on x I've
decided that being on a ballot next year is not
the right decision for me.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
And my family.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
I thought that was interesting wording next year. I mean,
unless there's something going on in his family next year,
does that mean two years later would be a good
time for he and his family to be on a ballot.
So you know that got read a little snippy. If
this guy thinks he could be president, you don't think again,

(20:41):
to which I would have to agree with you. Now,
I don't know. You know, we talk about running mates,
that becomes a whole other conversation. Who is the heir
apparent of trump Ism? Well, it's either Marco Rubio, jd
Vance or Governor DeSantis? Right, and I think the front
runner would be jd Vance. Now would jd Vance go

(21:06):
with Rubio and Florida Tize or DeSantis in Florida Tize
or maybe would he be interested in a camp and
Georgia ties. You just don't know what's really under the
surface here, So it doesn't necessarily have to be the
Kemp thing. So I'm gonna run for president in two years,
so I don't want to run for Senate. I'd rather

(21:26):
go from being governor to a presidential candidate. But maybe
running mate is something on the horizon. I don't know,
But he would have been a sure win and now
it's not so sure. And as I mentioned, Senate Majority
Leader John Thune said he'd have been a great candidate.
That's another that's a casual way of saying, oh, you

(21:49):
know one. But I've said all along the seats it's
going to be competitive. And the good news is there's
lots of interest. You don't have anybody of interest that's
as strong as Kemp. So that's I think that's clearly
bad news. Now what is the revealing news. It would
appear that AOC either really thinks that these top committee

(22:15):
positions have seniority bias and she doesn't have a chance,
or she's got higher aspirations. A Representative Alexandria Ociquatez AOC
on Monday said she will not run for the top
Democratic spot on the House Oversight Committee. AOC was seen

(22:39):
as a potential successor to Conley. Suggested that she was
opting out of the race because the caucus tends to
value seniority when selecting top committee posts, which was evident
in her loss to Conley for the job last year.
Revealing one thing is I don't want to go for

(23:01):
this big spot and then.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Have a loss I've got a lot of momentum.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Bernie's handing me the torch of the justice Socialist portion
of the party. I'm kind of handing over my role
to Crockett. You know, we got a lot of positive momentum.
I say this all the time. I don't know if
it's going to be a reality or not, but I'm
telling you if Bernie's out and he's passing the torch
to AOC, and that portion of the party is that

(23:29):
early active, in other words, they'll have energy, they'll show up,
they'll dominate the primaries. She's going to be a leading
contender for president. It's going to take the party to
get involved and manipulate like they did when they shafted
Bernie in twenty sixteen with Hillary or in twenty twenty
when they shafted him with Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
And that could get problematic.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
If you still got David Hogg as vice chair of
the Democrat Party. So there's a lot to play out here.
I couldn't possibly know. I don't know AOC. It's either
she really believes in this seniority bias and I'm not
going to take two defeats at this I'm not going
to give my opponents a chance to say twice, you

(24:18):
couldn't even get your party to pick you to lead
a committee. Now you're going to be the party's pick
to lead there they're party in a presidential election or
the country. You know, she can't take that risk, or
she thinks it's a waste of time, or she plans
to run for president. Either way, I think it's very revealing.
This is a very interesting one. Wes Moore explaining why

(24:39):
he will not run for president in twenty twenty eight,
and nobody buys it. He's got to run for governor first,
So of course he's going to say that, and.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
He's going to run for governor.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
He's going to get re elected as governor of Maryland
in twenty twenty six, and then he'll either play it
up as my party needs me, the country needs me.
I had no intention of running, but it's necessary that
I run, and everyone will forgive him, so I really
don't necessarily I think he is there. You know, I
think the DNC is going to try to give you Romney,

(25:14):
Manuel and Wes Moore. I think the grassroots far left
socialist portion, Bernie Sanders, AOC portion of the party is
going to give you AOC. So he's going to play
a drafted important role in saving their party from socialism
and of course rescuing.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
The country from Trump isn't.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
But Wes Moore came out and said, despite calls for
me to seek this election.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I am not running.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
That's what he tells the host on the view. Oh,
that credible chestnut. I'm clear, I'm not running. But what
I am doing is running to make Maryland really gonna
have the most explosive decade in recent history.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
And Maryland is is what I'm focused on.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
And of course he's going to sell that, and of
course he's gonna get re elected. It's what he's saying
in twenty twenty seven that I'd be more interested in.
So those are some really early I don't know, definitely
bad news with Kemp, definitely revealing news with AOC, not
even news. And I wasn't born yesterday with Wes Moore.
If you're just waking up forty five minutes after the houries,

(26:22):
are your top five stories of the day. The Trump
administration is offering one thousand dollars to I legal immigrants
if they self deport using a government.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Apps, and Trump addrests the program while speaking at the
White House Monday. What we thought we'd do is a
self deport where we're going to pay each one a
certain amount of money and we're going to get him
a beautiful flight back to where they came from the
Department of Homeland Securities. The payments will be made after
their return has been confirmed through the CDP home app.

(26:54):
The app's web page estimates that once approved, undocumented migrants
could typically depart the US within three weeks. Those who
submit their intent to voluntarily self report would also be
deprioritized for detention and removal ahead of their departure.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
I'm Mark Neaphew, never wish days away, live everyday moment
by moment, but I'd say every time I hear his voice,
it makes me wish it was Friday.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Second in the mood for Friday with forty seven.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
President Trump is downplaying criticism over an AI generated image of.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Him as the Pope.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
The image was shared by the White House ahead of
the conclave to replace the late Pope Francis. Although the
picture was shared by the White House, the President says
he had nothing to do with it and added, that's
not me that did it. I have no idea where
it came from. Maybe it was Ai, but I know
nothing about it. Trump says Catholics loved it, but other

(27:42):
Catholics disapproved of the image, including New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan,
who said the post was not good.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Jerry selection in the Diddy Coombs sect trafficking trial resumes
today in Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Sara Lee Kessler reports.

Speaker 8 (27:56):
The judge provided a brief description of the charges the
fifty five year old music mogilists facing, including prostitution, racketeering,
and coercing women into videotape sex performances he called freakofs.
The Harlemborne rapper says he's innocent and claims any group
sex was consensual.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Several jurors were dismissed.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
Who said they'd seen video of Comb's beating up his
former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who's expected to testify if convicted
Combs could.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Face life behind bars. I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Let meet this straight. Before zoom, before teams, there was Skype, right, sure,
so they're the beta of video communication.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
They're shutting down after two decades.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Microsoft today is officially retiring the video calling and messaging
platform as it redirects users to Teams. Skype users can
move their accounts to the Teams app, where the tech
giant notes they can use many of the same features.
A Microsoft executive called Skype and an integral part of
the shaping of modern communications and supporting countless meaningful moments.

(29:05):
I'm Michael Cass. You're a morning show made that switch
months ago. This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I left off two birthdays.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
What my favorite second baseman, Jose Altuve is thirty five
years old and.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Little Laurie in Youngstown, Ohio. Welcome to sixty. Laurie's so
glad you were born.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Hi, Michael, I've waited all year for you to tell
me your happy I was born.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, today is my sixtieth birthday, so thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, sixty comes with a lot of body aches and
a few procedures. I can tell you that the real
lid deadline is tomorrow. The White House cutting new federal
research grants to Havd University and Donald Trump going to
meet with Canadian's new prime minister at the White House today.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Oh to be a fly on the.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Wall, as they say, John Decker, our White House correspondent
is joining us. Will you be such fly and what
do we expect today with the Canadian Prime Minister.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
I will be a fly. I'll be in the Oval
Office when the President's meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney.
You know, the President has said kind things about Mark
Carney since his election as Prime minister. And that's a
good start. It's a better start than as you may recall, Michael,
the things that he said about Justin Trudeau, calling him
Governor Trudeau, you know, and that kind of thing in

(30:24):
the waiting days of his service as Canada's Prime minister.
So they're starting off on a good place. But as
you know, the President has imposed tariffs on every one
of our trading partners, including our biggest trading partner, and
that's Canada.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Well, let's face it, Mark Kearney used the President's analogy
or insulting insinuation. They should be the fifty first state
to really rally the votes and win this seat. We're
going to need that charming, the charming Donald Trump that
wins people over in private to kick in. Otherwise, Mark

(30:59):
Kearney is probably not in the most negotiable of spirits
heading in big mistake to do that. You know, there's
a lot of things Donald Trump does Alcatraz this week.
You know, there's some things he does that are brilliant.
There's some things he does somebody would have to explain
to me the brilliance of insulting Canada and making them
feel like, you know, we want to take them over.

(31:20):
It certainly didn't help conservative efforts to get elected in Canada.
And I don't think it makes today such as slam
Donker easy layup.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
For sure, No, it doesn't. You know, will a deal
be worked out, you know, during the course of their
meeting today, I don't think so. I think it's really
get to know you visit more than anything else. Maybe
it's an effort to, you know, talk about what's the
comfort level that the president may have in terms of
bringing down that tariff rate that's now imposed upon Canada,

(31:50):
maybe carving out some exemptions as it relates to Canadian products,
you know, that come into the US. It is a
very important relationship that the US has with Canada. And
you've probably heard from some of your listeners, Michael, you
know it has had an impact. You know, Canadians are
canceling vacations here in the United States there if they

(32:10):
have a second home. Anecdotally, I've heard about Canadians selling
their second home in Florida, for instance.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
You know.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
So it's having that kind of an impact, and that's
not a good We also know, Michael, you saw this
a few months ago when Canadians booed America's national anthem
in a hockey game between the US and Canada. So
the relationship between the US and Canada can certainly be improved,
and maybe this is the start of that. Today we got.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Real enemies out there. There's no reason to create enemies
out of each other. The president, you know, I don't
know how you would say it, you know, I would
say the President is brilliantly giving China an opportunity to
get on board, and if they don't, it'll be them
stepping away. Now, if he would have just started with China,
he would have isolated China. But he does everybody and

(32:57):
then leaves China just standing. But it's time to mend
this fence with Canada. Whether you call it a pivot
away from tariffs or not, this uncertainty, this instability needs
to be lifted, and this relationship needs to be healed,
starting with the President. We should have probably never insulted them.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
