We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Because we're in the stige.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
A big court win for President Trump, the Supreme Court
is allowing the president to implement a ban on transgendered
people serving in the military. Speaking a military Pakistan is
calling an operation by India an act of war. As
for chaos at the airport, Onland, Security Secretary Christy Nomes
says traveling without real ID compliant cards will still be
(00:57):
permitted for now definition for now. Now, I guess good morning,
and welcome to Wednesday, May the seventh year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five. On the air and streaming live on
your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. National correspondent
Roy O'Neil is joining us. Roy Roman Catholic cardinals from
around the world will be sequestered, locked up inside the
(01:19):
Sistine Chapel and voting till we see white smoke, and
it all begins today it does.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
A four point thirty Rome time is when the conclave
will officially begin.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
As we speak.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
There's a lunch and time of reflection for the cardinals
before they get to work. There was a mass celebrated
for the cardinals at Saint Peter's earlier today and again
after this brief break, they will then start the work
of trying to choose the next Pope. One hundred and
thirty three of the cardinals are eligible to vote. The
next pope will need the votes of at least two
(01:51):
thirds of those cardinals, who represent the most diverse gathering
in the Church's history. More than seventy countries are now
represented by the cardinals.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So we have a chance for a Asian pope. We
have two really good chances for a Black pope, probably
Peter Turkson being the best chance and probably Lewis Tago
being the best chance from the Philippines of an Asian pope.
There is an outside chance for an American Pope Robert Prevost, which,
(02:21):
by the way I go by looks too he looks
just like John Paul the Second. But I think the
front runner, Petro Parallone still probably the front runner. We
talked about Matteo Zupe before, and the one that I
think has grown the most in the last week and
a half with momentum. Parabista Pizza Bala seems to be
(02:45):
a front runner as well. This is the kind of thing, though,
I don't think you want to be the obvious front
runner that rarely happens, right, the.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Old line about the cardinal who walks in and thinking
he's going to be the next pope walks out of cardinal.
We get these surprises, and we're expecting this will probably
take a few days. You know, in recent history the
conclave has lasted two or three days on average. It
was two days for Pope Francis after five ballots, two
days for Pope Benedict and just four ballots. So it
(03:16):
is something that could be resolved before the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All right, I'm not a Catholic. You probably are. The
church was conservative under John Paul the Second, Conservative under Benedict,
then doctrinely moved left with Francis, and that's a lot
about what these conclaves are about, more than the personalities
and the actual cardinals and the people. Does the church
(03:41):
continue in the direction of Francis? I mean, my pick
was Zoopy and he would literally take the name Francis
the second right, But that'll be the choice, right. And
these things tend to go in pendulums, don't they They
tend to.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But you know, Pope Francis made so many appointments to
the College of Cardinals that now it represents such a
more diverse body of again, more than seventy countries now
represented more from Asia and Africa than ever before. So
this is not the old gathering of battalions that it
used to be. This is a very different kind of conclave.
(04:15):
So whether or not it does have that pendulum effect
or represents the fact that the church is exploding in
growth across Africa, across Asia, that it's a very different
kind of church, not just the Italian Church that many
of us grew up with.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, and then you get into those areas of focus, right,
I mean, I think the Catholic Church, you know, the
nice thing about Prevost would be a focus on America.
Many think it might even be Africa, and that's why
Turks such and such high regard who would be the
most the face of the conservative candidates.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The African I think Cardinal Sara from Guinea is actually
much more conservative than people had And Cardinal Leo Burke
born in Wisconsin maybe made a cardinal by Pope Benedict
back in twenty ten. He has clashed publicly with Pope
Francis and his more liberal philosophies, so that would certainly
be a much more conservative choice. Also, the fact that
(05:12):
he's an American certainly would be controversial. I think there
are what seventeen cardinals are from Italy. Ten of them
are from the US, which is the second largest group
of cardinals there in the gathering. But whether or not
the church is ready for a US cardinal, whether the
world is ready for a US cardinal. Some believe that
the US already has enough outsized influence on the world
(05:36):
that adding the church has good and bad.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah. I don't want to make it about this, because
these are godly men in a conclave, trusting the Holy
Spirit to make a very important choice. But the chance
of a black pope, the chance of an Asian pope.
That's real heading into this conclave, and it's something that
everybody's got their eye on all right there, because there's
(06:01):
a lot of liberal in the ways of Francis splitting votes.
So it'd be interesting to see how that plays and
who rises to be the main one. Mostly Carolyn or
Tago and Zoopy would be the most likely to carry
the torch of Francis. Well, keep an eye on roy o'nil.
Great reporting as always. The conclave begins today roughly about
(06:21):
ten our time in the morning, and again I think
it's two votes today usually averages two to three days.
We'll see how long it takes. You'll get black smoke
that means they don't have a consensus. Then when you
get two thirds, you'll see white smoke, and soon you
will meet your next pope. Roy's going to be back
in the third hour. We'll talk about all this real ID.
Although I think Christy Noman has stepped in so that
(06:43):
there wasn't chaos at the airport today, and I don't
know that we have any good idea of what percentage
of Americans have their real ID. I also will say this,
and nobody has said this out loud, what percentage of
Americans have it and don't know it, so you know
the best, and I think it's pretty much this way.
Everywhere in Tennessee, we have a circle with a star
(07:06):
that's white in the middle of the circle, and that's
just above your birth date, and that's how you know
that you're you've done the real ID process. So in
most cases, if you look at your driver's license and
there is a star on it, that means you have
the real ID. I don't know what percentage of Americans
have it and don't know it. I don't know what
percentage of Americans don't have it and you know, have
(07:30):
a or in the process of getting it, and all
they have is the paper version. And so there was
a lot of uncertainty heading to the airport today. How
many Americans have it? How many Americans know they don't
have it and know they can't travel. Christy nomesteps in
and says traveling without a real ID compliant card will
still be permitted for now. So there is some suggestion
(07:52):
that they expected a lot of people to not be
prepared and trying to fly today. I guess this falls
under just a quickie. I know how you guys love polls.
This one kind of falls under the headline kind of sad, right,
The one thing we can all agree on is that
we don't agree and there's a decline in civility and
(08:13):
an increase in political violence. Now, you know, you could
play President Trump's commencement speech at Alabama and then you
could play Jasmine Crocketts in Jackson, Mississippi over the weekend,
and one seems to be ginning up discontent, lack of
(08:33):
civility and trying to gin up political violence. That's a shame.
There's the poll itself, which I will give you, and
then there's my gut. Let's start with the poll. The
level of civility in American political life has declined, according
to a majority of voters, who expect political violence to
(08:54):
increase in the next few years of likely by the way,
that would tend, it's in both sides hands. How you
behave when you lose, that's when it's in your hand,
and how the others behave while they're losing, then it's
in their hands. In this particular case, it would be
(09:15):
the left that would turn to violence, and the left
planned on violence before. That's why I point everybody to
the Shadow campaign to Save the Democracy manifesto on Time magazine.
It's a February fifteenth issue from twenty twenty one. How
they stole the election fair and square, as they described,
not because they were proud of it, but because they
(09:36):
had to to save democracy. And in that plan, if
Joe Biden had lost was insurrection. And if you think back,
they were conditioning you for it with Black Lives Matter,
with Antifa. Those listening in Seattle remember the autonomous zone
And if they did it before, would they do it again?
(09:59):
And it will be more difficult to do seeing as
you try to pin insurrection on Trump and trumps supporters, Well,
they're talking divisive, they're threatening political violence, and they planned
it before. Will they do it? That's the reality? Seventy
(10:20):
like the US voters say, in thinking about the overall
tone and civility in American politics over recent years, the
level of civility has gotten worse. I actually remember things
being worse online than they are now. Wonder what you
think use the talk backlineer Michael di atiheartmedia dot Com
(10:40):
in this death of wokeness is they're buried with it,
this death of dividing our way to somewhere versus uniting.
I mean, I see kind of an end of the
appetite to fight about everything. Now that can tend to
lead to just disengagement apathy, and that's not good either.
(11:03):
It's okay to passionately, to believe differently, it's not okay
to demonize and hate everybody that doesn't have your shared view,
and we can debate our way to unity and consensus.
We did a great exercise yesterday. It just really pointed
(11:23):
to when Clinton said it, when Obama said it, everything
was fine. We deported without due process, without court. Now
that it's Trump, the Trump derangement and the hatred for
Trump makes that just a pawn, a tool and obstruction. Now,
(11:45):
there are still a handful of people I know that
have Trump derangement syndrome, and it's impacted our real life relationships.
But by and large it doesn't feel to me, just
from those that are here, Jeffrey Read, I don't think
things are as bad as they were four years ago,
do you? I mean, I think we're I still think
(12:09):
we're way too divided. Then's what websites you go on? Well, yeah,
I mean there's all of that. I mean, but so
stability has gotten worse seventy two percent of America believes so,
twelve percent think the level has gotten better, and twelve
percent believe it has stayed about the same. I'm probably
somewhere around state about the same to leaning a little better,
but where that could be a hat and walk down the
(12:31):
street and see what happens. Look at the Bernie and
AOC events, they're pretty big. Well yeah, but they're gonna yeah, well, okay.
Sixty one percent think the next few years will see
an increase in political violence. Let's pray not. Let's prepare
as if it will, and pray as if it won't.
(12:53):
Eleven percent expect political violence to violence to actually decrease.
You can't get much worse than twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
I was those pretty bad two years, twenty three percent
believe there will be about the same amount. Among voters
who say overall tone and civility in the American politics
has gotten worse in recent years, seventy one percent expect
political violence to increase in the next few years, and
(13:14):
nearly half forty eight percent of likely voters believe Republicans
are more to blame for inciting political violence. Really that one,
I'll disagree with greatly, and I call balls and strikes
pretty fairly. While thirty nine percent think Democrats are more
to blame, thirteen percent are not sure predictability. Predictably, there
(13:34):
is some partisan finger pointing involved on the question of
which party is more to blame. Sixty eight percent of Democrats,
of course, blame Republicans. Sixty one percent of Republicans blame Democrats.
But obviously more Democrats point fingers at Republicans than Republicans
point fingers at Democrats. Among voters not affiliated, I guess
the tie breaker. Forty four percent say Republicans are more
to blame, thirty one percent believe Democrats are more to blame.
(13:58):
Majorities of political categories, the level of civility in American
politics has gotten worse nearly eighty percent for Democrats, sixty
three percent for Republicans, seventy five percent of unaffiliated voters.
Probably because that's a big reason why they're unaffiliated, I
know I need to break I got so disgusted with
both parties. I think America would be better off without
(14:19):
either of them, and that's why I'm a true independent.
Seventy six percent of those who voted for Kamala Harris
last year, of course, compared to forty seven percent voted
for Donald Trump. Expect political violence to increase in the
next few years. Isn't that interesting? All right? Can America
fight its way to unity? Can it divide its way
(14:41):
to unity any better than it can spend and debt
its way out of debt? The answer is, of course no,
but will it? Time will tell. The polls suggesting one
thing we can agree on is we don't like each other.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Chono.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Either using Michael diet Media dot com and email me
or the talkback button on your iHeart app. That's what
Bonnie used. She's joining us from Arizona.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I think that the political differences have increased and the
violence has increased because Conservatives have finally started standing up
for themselves and fighting back against the Liberals and all
of their policies. Republicans rolled over for years and never
fought back. With Trump, He's unleashed a whole new view
(15:30):
of things.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But we're not seeing the violence like BLM and Antifa.
We did have an assassination attempt against Trump. RHTT said
something off the your Bonnie that I think even makes
more sense. It's as if the people have gotten a
little better, the politicians are the ones that have gotten worse.
Mary and Idaho. Hey, your morning.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Show sandwich definitely should be Italian bread with meatballs, mozzarella
and pepperoni for Michael, sweet peppers for Jeffrey, spicy red
sauce for Ed. Has to be a double decker for
jone decker with the side of wedge potatoes for Rory.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
O'Neil the clever Why are you sweet peppers? Do you have? Hey,
I'm the Homeland Security front Listen. If you have a
real ID, it'll be boarding as usual at the airport.
If you do not, you can fly, but you better
get there very early and expect some extra questioning. As
(16:26):
Homeland Security Secretary Christi Noome says, traveling without a real
EDD complying card will still be permitted, but not without
a lot of questions. Hey, this is Lee Murphy in Cottontown, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael Bill Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Hey, it's me Michael. You can listen to your morning

Impact Radio one oh five nine and twelve fifty whd
(17:08):

us live and make us a part of your morning routine.
In the meantime, enjoy the podcast bron or to serve
you Sweet Pepper over there. Jeffrey's got a handle on
the sound bet keeping an eye Spicy Red, keeping an
eye on the top content stories, and I am your
humble host, Michael del jord. If you're just waking up,
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nooames says, traveling without a re
(17:30):
real ID compliant card is possible and permitted today and
for now, but you better arrive early and expect a
lot of questions. Pakistan calling an operation by Indian act
of war, let's pray not. And the Roman Catholic Church's
process of a conclave and electing a new pope starts today.
They'll all wheel in with their luggage, cardinals, but one
(17:52):
believe as pope and it's good to be on the road.
Two more road teams earned wins in the NBA. Pacers
get a two to nothing lead now over the Calves,
winning both in Cleveland, and the Warriors took Game one
against the Timberwolves in Minnesota last night. SAME's happening in
hockey as well. We'll keep an eye on all of
that for you. If I had two favorite stories today
(18:14):
and we touched on it earlier, we'll get back to
it a little bit later. Eighty three year old Democrat
representative from South Carolina, James Clyburn said, I can't leave Congress.
Why quit in Congress would be to give up my life.
Apparently it's become his entire life. And Lady Gaga's bombing
(18:34):
suspect in Rio de Janeiro turns out to be a
recently deported US illegal immigrant. Well, you know, the left
doesn't want you discovering that. We were all kind of
curious how the President would handle the new Prime Minister
of Canada. And the answer is, we don't want your cars,
we don't want your steel. We're going to make our own,
(18:55):
and I don't know why we're subsidizing it two hundred
billion dollars. John Decker was there, was it as uncomfortable
to witness as it was to watch.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
No, you know, I didn't feel uncomfortable when I was
in the Oval Office yesterday and they had this interaction
with each other with the press in the Oval Office,
it seemed.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
That they had a good, friendly rapport with each other. Michael.
That being said, you know, you saw the President politely.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Once again raise this idea of Canada as a fifty first.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
State, and you also heard the Canadian.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Prime Minister said that's never going to happen.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
There's just some things that.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Are for sale. I think was the way he said it,
you know, kind of like this.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Housewhere in Yeah, that's right, sticking up for him that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I was gonna say. I'm not sticking up for the
Prime minister. I'm just saying it's uncomfortable. I don't think
the president, you know, I don't know the wisdom of
that whole fifty first state thing. And maybe that was
directed at Truneau and the President took a little bit
of victory labor. Perhaps that didn't help, you know, him
as prime minister. But you know, I thought maybe there'd
be some smoothing over. No, the President draws a line
(20:08):
in the sand and says listen. You know, we love Canada.
We're always going to protect Canada, you know that militarily.
But why we're giving you two hundred million dollars we
want We're gonna make our own steal. We're going to
make our own cars. That was you know, he held
his line. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, And the President was asked towards the end of
that interaction while the press was in the room, whether
or not this meeting that he's having with the Prime
Minister Carney will lead to alleviating all these tariffs that
the President's going to impose upon Canada.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Our northern neighbor. And the President was very direct.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
He said, no, no, it won't change in any way
what I intend to do or my plans as it
relates to my tariffs policy. So, you know, to me,
this was an important meeting just to introduce each other.
You know, this is the first time the President Trump
had met Prime Minister Carney in person. They've spoken to
each other on phone. The President expressed his admiration for
(21:03):
his electoral victory recently as Prime minister. So that's a
good start, you know, But I think that's.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
All it is.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
It's a good start, it doesn't mean that there's going
to be movement in terms of removing those trade tariffs
on Canadian goods coming into the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Trade deficit in general has now widened with the tariff's
help level out that deficit. That's what time will tell
the President's hope.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Yeah, that's that's that's the big hope. You know.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
The trade deficit has.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Widened to its highest level ever, and so what the
President is hoping is that that trade imbalance that exists
with just about every country in the world is certainly
it exists with China. We are in a very big way,
comes down from where it is right now.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
This I'm going to play it in the hopes that
you can hear it, and I think you can get
this happened. The President made this announcement while sitting next
to the Prime Minister.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
We're going to a ue and quitar and that'll be
I guess Monday night.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Some of you are coming with us. I think before then,
we're gonna have a very very.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Big announcement to make like as big as it gets.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And I won't tell you on what, but it's gonna
and it's very positive.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
I'd also I tell you if it was negative or positive,
I can't keep that at it is really really positive,
and that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday
or Monday before we leave.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
This is where Scoop Decker comes in, because he brought
up the United Emirates, because he brought brought up Cutter.
Could this have something to do with Arab involvement in
the Gaza?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
You know, that's the kind of thing that you don't
hold your cards on. You want to introduce that information
as soon as possible. And the reason I say that
Michael lives are at stake, so you know, it's not
something you just roll out. You know, when you want
to roll it out, you want to present that information
as soon as possible because of those hostages that have
been held by AMAS since October than two two plus
(23:01):
years ago. I think it's related to trade. Actually, Michael
the President seemed to give that indication later on in
the Oval Office, referring to that big announcement. So maybe
it has to do with a trade agreement related to India,
because we know that those conversations are very far along,
all right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And then concerns with the India operation in Pakistani territory
Pakistan not responding that that action and operation is an
active war. Those tensions continue to increase. I remember about
twenty two years ago, I was on the air and
I felt like I was the only one in the
country that had my eye on how Pakistan and India
were on the brink of exchanging nukes and how hundreds
of millions could just be vanished from the earth. India
(23:40):
don't I will say this, and I'm not being you know, Bragagadosia.
India don't take no crap, and they're very decisive and
they do not like Pakistan, and so prayers need to
be flying for peace and cooler heads in this area.
The President also brought up to the Houthis don't want
to fight anymore and that he's going to stop bombing
(24:01):
any more. Elaboration on that.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Well, it seems to me an agreement was reached, you know,
because the Houthis are blocking and really impeding shipping channels
in that part of the world, and that is really
impacting the price of goods coming to America in a
very real way. It's impacting shipping container companies roots that
they take to get to the West, and so an
(24:26):
agreement has been reached that they no longer will attack
those shipping container ships and as a result, the US says,
if you do that, we won't attack you. And that's
the agreement that's been reached with the Houthi rebels.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
John used to have a tough job with the Biden administration.
They rarely had any kind of interaction with the press,
news conference, what have you. Now they're daily and as
at my count, five questions you got answered yesterday. Oh,
I'm going to call them front front road decker. That's
your new nickname. Great reporting is always It's all awesome.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Absolutely, Thanks so much, Michael, always appreciating on your show.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Talk to you tomorrow. All right, we're just waking up.
The Department of Justice is announcing the largest fentanyl seizure
in US history. Mark Mayfield has that story. Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
Attorney General Pam Bondi said officers seized over eleven kilos
of fentanyl, including three million pills labeled as oxy codone
that were linked with fentanyl. Bondi said Sineloa cartill members
living in the US illegally, we're behind the operation. She
said the leader was operating out of Salem, Oregon, and
the drugs were being moved through Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Utah.
Six alleged Cartill members have been arrested by Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
First, it was the incumbent mayor decided to run as
an independent. Now Andrew Cuomo plans to run for mayor
of New York City as an independent.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
The former Democratic governor of New York State announced the
move Tuesday, saying he'll run as an independent regardless of
whether he wins the Democratic primary. This is current Mayor
Eric Adams is also running as an independent and skipping
the Democratic primary entirely. Jomo is currently polling first in
the primary, with state assembly Menzora and Mundami in a
(26:05):
distant second.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Andrew Whitman NBC News Radio New York. A secret process
to select a new pope known as the Conclave. It
all begins in minutes.
Speaker 11 (26:15):
There are one hundred and thirty three cardinals from around
the world taking part of the voting process, with two
thirds majority needed for the next pope. Father Thomas Massero
at Fordam University. He says it's hard to narrow down
the favorites.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
Most of them are dark courses and the only name
of I'll mention is just because everybody knows his name
is Cardinal Pietro Paralin, who is the Secretary of State
of the Vatican.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
He does not think an American cardinal is much of
a chance because popes are usually not elected from the
world's most powerful countries. The Serra thinks that it'll take
two to four days of the conclave for the next
pope to be decided. Skeppringle NBC News Radio in New York.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Now, will there be an Asian pope? Luise Tagle highly
considered at sixty seven years old. Will there be a
Black Pope? Peter Turkson probably the front runner there at
seventy six years old, Butteo Zupi sixty nine, and I
think Parallel Perline probably the most likely to continue carrying
(27:14):
the torch in the direction of Pope Francis and then
highly on the rise. And this is where you want
to be, kind of in the middle and in an
uncontested area in terms of conservative versus more progressive is
Parabista Pizza Bala, who a lot of people think has
(27:34):
a really good chance of arriving a cardinal and leaving
a pope. The conclave begins about ten our time here
in the States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says there's a
lot of negotiations going on right now in trade agreements.
China is just not one of them yet.
Speaker 13 (27:49):
The Cent made the comment while testifying to lawmakers on
Capitol Hill Tuesday related to President Trump's budget request. However,
Chinese officials have said in recent days they were assessing
US proposals to start talking. Boscent suggested trade deals could
be announced with other partners in the coming days as well.
During his testimony, Basin said he expects to see a
substantial reduction in the tariffs that were being charged, as
(28:10):
well as non tariff barriers, currency manipulation, and the subsidies
of both labor and capital investments.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm Lisa Taylor, entertainer's in the legal crosshairs. Let's start
with the famed Motown singer Smokey Robinson. He's being accused
of sexual assault by former employees for women, all employed
as housekeepers, submitted a fifty million dollar lawsuit in a
Los Angeles Superior court yesterday. Among their allegations are sexual assault,
false imprisonment, and creating a hostile work environment. The lawsuit
(28:40):
also names the eighty five year old's wife Francis Robinson.
Smokey Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in
nineteen eighty seven. Meanwhile, a jury is expected to be
seated today in the Diddy Coombs sex trial. The embattled
rapper is facing life in prison on a number of charges,
including sex trafficking racketeering. In New York. Prosecutors alleged he
(29:00):
threatened and coerced women into sex. Defense attorneys are expected
to argue that Colmbs had consensual relationships. He's been behind
bars in Brooklyn since the arrest in September. And a
new study suggests people with mental disorders are more likely
to be left handed.
Speaker 14 (29:18):
The German researchers compared data from over two hundred thousand
individuals and found people with schizophrenia, autism, and other neurodevelopmental
disorders show higher rates of left handedness compared to the
general population. The study, published in the Psychological Bulletin, shows
hand preferences often beginning even before birth, with prenatal thumbsucking
at ten weeks of pregnancy being a good indicator of
(29:40):
hand preference later in life. I'm Tammy Trichio.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. This
is the type of person A two sides of the coin.
This is the type of person Joe Biden allowed into
your country, into your neighborhoods. The other side of the
coin is, this is exactly the type of people that
Donald Trump has been talking about and removing, not in hatred,
(30:07):
in love for you, in respect to you and your
children and your family and your safety. Sounds dramatic, right,
all right. There's also this thing called media bias. You know,
the stories you cover, the stories you don't, the people
you talk to, the people you don't, the angles you choose,
the angles you don't, the quote you use, the quote
(30:28):
you don't. So the Democrats have decided to die on
the Hill of Garcia. And now add da Silva. You'll
hear in our sounds of the day, one member of
Congress trying to bully the Homeland Security secretary. Imagine a
member of Congress bullying the head of Homeland Security over
trying to protect the American people and citing this rare
(30:52):
case where a child with cancer was deported. Now, the
notion is to make the Presidency, the administration, and Homeland
Security seem heartless. You're rounding up an American citizen an
American child with cancer and just shipping them out. How
heartless were these forms filled out? And of course the
truth of the cases, the parents entered the country illegally.
(31:17):
The parents were deported a priorities made to keep families together,
and the parents decided to leave with their children. So
the only reason why the child with cancer was in
America was because their parents came illegally. The only reason
that child is gone is because the parents chose in
deportation to bring their children with them. But they don't care.
(31:37):
They're grandstanding. But you're not going to see a member
of Congress drilling Christy Nome about Da Silva. You're not
going to see this be the lead story pounded down
your throat all day by the Washington Post, by The Atlantic,
(31:57):
by The New York Times, by MSNBC, ABC, NBCCBS sixty minutes.
I could go on and on and on. So over
the weekend there's this story. The first of all, we said, well,
we were shocked about two point five million people went
to a Lady Gaga concert. That's insane only in Rio, right,
(32:23):
I mean, even if you got one of the seats
in the first two hundred thousand, how far away is
Gaga let alone do and a half million. But what
the police did great in Rio de Janeiro was block
a bombing plan. Can you imagine improvised explosives and malotov
(32:46):
cocktails and how many people with two point five million
gathered in close quarters to watch Lady Gaga could have
been armed. But now you can't beat this part of
the story. The person arrested, lou UIs da Silva, forty
four years old, allegedly planned to live stream the attack
(33:06):
and detonate explosives near the stage during Lady Gaga's free
show at the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. He's
a recently deported migrant from the United States. One month
ago he was here thanks to Donald Trump. He was
(33:28):
there and praise God for Riodonesian law enforcement. He was
arrested before he could carry out this attack. We're all
in this together.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
This is your Morning Show with Michael vinheld Joano
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like wilm and
WDOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM seven
twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And we're going to
need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e NI Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Because we're in the stige.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
A big court win for President Trump, the Supreme Court
is allowing the president to implement a ban on transgendered
people serving in the military. Speaking a military Pakistan is
calling an operation by India an act of war. As
for chaos at the airport, Onland, Security Secretary Christy Nomes
says traveling without real ID compliant cards will still be
(00:57):
permitted for now definition for now. Now, I guess good morning,
and welcome to Wednesday, May the seventh year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five. On the air and streaming live on
your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. National correspondent
Roy O'Neil is joining us. Roy Roman Catholic cardinals from
around the world will be sequestered, locked up inside the
(01:19):
Sistine Chapel and voting till we see white smoke, and
it all begins today it does.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
A four point thirty Rome time is when the conclave
will officially begin.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
As we speak.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
There's a lunch and time of reflection for the cardinals
before they get to work. There was a mass celebrated
for the cardinals at Saint Peter's earlier today and again
after this brief break, they will then start the work
of trying to choose the next Pope. One hundred and
thirty three of the cardinals are eligible to vote. The
next pope will need the votes of at least two
(01:51):
thirds of those cardinals, who represent the most diverse gathering
in the Church's history. More than seventy countries are now
represented by the cardinals.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So we have a chance for a Asian pope. We
have two really good chances for a Black pope, probably
Peter Turkson being the best chance and probably Lewis Tago
being the best chance from the Philippines of an Asian pope.
There is an outside chance for an American Pope Robert Prevost, which,
(02:21):
by the way I go by looks too he looks
just like John Paul the Second. But I think the
front runner, Petro Parallone still probably the front runner. We
talked about Matteo Zupe before, and the one that I
think has grown the most in the last week and
a half with momentum. Parabista Pizza Bala seems to be
(02:45):
a front runner as well. This is the kind of thing, though,
I don't think you want to be the obvious front
runner that rarely happens, right, the.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Old line about the cardinal who walks in and thinking
he's going to be the next pope walks out of cardinal.
We get these surprises, and we're expecting this will probably
take a few days. You know, in recent history the
conclave has lasted two or three days on average. It
was two days for Pope Francis after five ballots, two
days for Pope Benedict and just four ballots. So it
(03:16):
is something that could be resolved before the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All right, I'm not a Catholic. You probably are. The
church was conservative under John Paul the Second, Conservative under Benedict,
then doctrinely moved left with Francis, and that's a lot
about what these conclaves are about, more than the personalities
and the actual cardinals and the people. Does the church
(03:41):
continue in the direction of Francis? I mean, my pick
was Zoopy and he would literally take the name Francis
the second right, But that'll be the choice, right. And
these things tend to go in pendulums, don't they They
tend to.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But you know, Pope Francis made so many appointments to
the College of Cardinals that now it represents such a
more diverse body of again, more than seventy countries now
represented more from Asia and Africa than ever before. So
this is not the old gathering of battalions that it
used to be. This is a very different kind of conclave.
(04:15):
So whether or not it does have that pendulum effect
or represents the fact that the church is exploding in
growth across Africa, across Asia, that it's a very different
kind of church, not just the Italian Church that many
of us grew up with.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, and then you get into those areas of focus, right,
I mean, I think the Catholic Church, you know, the
nice thing about Prevost would be a focus on America.
Many think it might even be Africa, and that's why
Turks such and such high regard who would be the
most the face of the conservative candidates.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The African I think Cardinal Sara from Guinea is actually
much more conservative than people had And Cardinal Leo Burke
born in Wisconsin maybe made a cardinal by Pope Benedict
back in twenty ten. He has clashed publicly with Pope
Francis and his more liberal philosophies, so that would certainly
be a much more conservative choice. Also, the fact that
(05:12):
he's an American certainly would be controversial. I think there
are what seventeen cardinals are from Italy. Ten of them
are from the US, which is the second largest group
of cardinals there in the gathering. But whether or not
the church is ready for a US cardinal, whether the
world is ready for a US cardinal. Some believe that
the US already has enough outsized influence on the world
(05:36):
that adding the church has good and bad.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah. I don't want to make it about this, because
these are godly men in a conclave, trusting the Holy
Spirit to make a very important choice. But the chance
of a black pope, the chance of an Asian pope.
That's real heading into this conclave, and it's something that
everybody's got their eye on all right there, because there's
(06:01):
a lot of liberal in the ways of Francis splitting votes.
So it'd be interesting to see how that plays and
who rises to be the main one. Mostly Carolyn or
Tago and Zoopy would be the most likely to carry
the torch of Francis. Well, keep an eye on roy o'nil.
Great reporting as always. The conclave begins today roughly about
(06:21):
ten our time in the morning, and again I think
it's two votes today usually averages two to three days.
We'll see how long it takes. You'll get black smoke
that means they don't have a consensus. Then when you
get two thirds, you'll see white smoke, and soon you
will meet your next pope. Roy's going to be back
in the third hour. We'll talk about all this real ID.
Although I think Christy Noman has stepped in so that
(06:43):
there wasn't chaos at the airport today, and I don't
know that we have any good idea of what percentage
of Americans have their real ID. I also will say this,
and nobody has said this out loud, what percentage of
Americans have it and don't know it, so you know
the best, and I think it's pretty much this way.
Everywhere in Tennessee, we have a circle with a star
(07:06):
that's white in the middle of the circle, and that's
just above your birth date, and that's how you know
that you're you've done the real ID process. So in
most cases, if you look at your driver's license and
there is a star on it, that means you have
the real ID. I don't know what percentage of Americans
have it and don't know it. I don't know what
percentage of Americans don't have it and you know, have
(07:30):
a or in the process of getting it, and all
they have is the paper version. And so there was
a lot of uncertainty heading to the airport today. How
many Americans have it? How many Americans know they don't
have it and know they can't travel. Christy nomesteps in
and says traveling without a real ID compliant card will
still be permitted for now. So there is some suggestion
(07:52):
that they expected a lot of people to not be
prepared and trying to fly today. I guess this falls
under just a quickie. I know how you guys love polls.
This one kind of falls under the headline kind of sad, right,
The one thing we can all agree on is that
we don't agree and there's a decline in civility and
(08:13):
an increase in political violence. Now, you know, you could
play President Trump's commencement speech at Alabama and then you
could play Jasmine Crocketts in Jackson, Mississippi over the weekend,
and one seems to be ginning up discontent, lack of
(08:33):
civility and trying to gin up political violence. That's a shame.
There's the poll itself, which I will give you, and
then there's my gut. Let's start with the poll. The
level of civility in American political life has declined, according
to a majority of voters, who expect political violence to
(08:54):
increase in the next few years of likely by the way,
that would tend, it's in both sides hands. How you
behave when you lose, that's when it's in your hand,
and how the others behave while they're losing, then it's
in their hands. In this particular case, it would be
(09:15):
the left that would turn to violence, and the left
planned on violence before. That's why I point everybody to
the Shadow campaign to Save the Democracy manifesto on Time magazine.
It's a February fifteenth issue from twenty twenty one. How
they stole the election fair and square, as they described,
not because they were proud of it, but because they
(09:36):
had to to save democracy. And in that plan, if
Joe Biden had lost was insurrection. And if you think back,
they were conditioning you for it with Black Lives Matter,
with Antifa. Those listening in Seattle remember the autonomous zone
And if they did it before, would they do it again?
(09:59):
And it will be more difficult to do seeing as
you try to pin insurrection on Trump and trumps supporters, Well,
they're talking divisive, they're threatening political violence, and they planned
it before. Will they do it? That's the reality? Seventy
(10:20):
like the US voters say, in thinking about the overall
tone and civility in American politics over recent years, the
level of civility has gotten worse. I actually remember things
being worse online than they are now. Wonder what you
think use the talk backlineer Michael di atiheartmedia dot Com
(10:40):
in this death of wokeness is they're buried with it,
this death of dividing our way to somewhere versus uniting.
I mean, I see kind of an end of the
appetite to fight about everything. Now that can tend to
lead to just disengagement apathy, and that's not good either.
(11:03):
It's okay to passionately, to believe differently, it's not okay
to demonize and hate everybody that doesn't have your shared view,
and we can debate our way to unity and consensus.
We did a great exercise yesterday. It just really pointed
(11:23):
to when Clinton said it, when Obama said it, everything
was fine. We deported without due process, without court. Now
that it's Trump, the Trump derangement and the hatred for
Trump makes that just a pawn, a tool and obstruction. Now,
(11:45):
there are still a handful of people I know that
have Trump derangement syndrome, and it's impacted our real life relationships.
But by and large it doesn't feel to me, just
from those that are here, Jeffrey Read, I don't think
things are as bad as they were four years ago,
do you? I mean, I think we're I still think
(12:09):
we're way too divided. Then's what websites you go on? Well, yeah,
I mean there's all of that. I mean, but so
stability has gotten worse seventy two percent of America believes so,
twelve percent think the level has gotten better, and twelve
percent believe it has stayed about the same. I'm probably
somewhere around state about the same to leaning a little better,
but where that could be a hat and walk down the
(12:31):
street and see what happens. Look at the Bernie and
AOC events, they're pretty big. Well yeah, but they're gonna yeah, well, okay.
Sixty one percent think the next few years will see
an increase in political violence. Let's pray not. Let's prepare
as if it will, and pray as if it won't.
(12:53):
Eleven percent expect political violence to violence to actually decrease.
You can't get much worse than twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
I was those pretty bad two years, twenty three percent
believe there will be about the same amount. Among voters
who say overall tone and civility in the American politics
has gotten worse in recent years, seventy one percent expect
political violence to increase in the next few years, and
(13:14):
nearly half forty eight percent of likely voters believe Republicans
are more to blame for inciting political violence. Really that one,
I'll disagree with greatly, and I call balls and strikes
pretty fairly. While thirty nine percent think Democrats are more
to blame, thirteen percent are not sure predictability. Predictably, there
(13:34):
is some partisan finger pointing involved on the question of
which party is more to blame. Sixty eight percent of Democrats,
of course, blame Republicans. Sixty one percent of Republicans blame Democrats.
But obviously more Democrats point fingers at Republicans than Republicans
point fingers at Democrats. Among voters not affiliated, I guess
the tie breaker. Forty four percent say Republicans are more
to blame, thirty one percent believe Democrats are more to blame.
(13:58):
Majorities of political categories, the level of civility in American
politics has gotten worse nearly eighty percent for Democrats, sixty
three percent for Republicans, seventy five percent of unaffiliated voters.
Probably because that's a big reason why they're unaffiliated, I
know I need to break I got so disgusted with
both parties. I think America would be better off without
(14:19):
either of them, and that's why I'm a true independent.
Seventy six percent of those who voted for Kamala Harris
last year, of course, compared to forty seven percent voted
for Donald Trump. Expect political violence to increase in the
next few years. Isn't that interesting? All right? Can America
fight its way to unity? Can it divide its way
(14:41):
to unity any better than it can spend and debt
its way out of debt? The answer is, of course no,
but will it? Time will tell. The polls suggesting one
thing we can agree on is we don't like each other.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Chono.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Either using Michael diet Media dot com and email me
or the talkback button on your iHeart app. That's what
Bonnie used. She's joining us from Arizona.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I think that the political differences have increased and the
violence has increased because Conservatives have finally started standing up
for themselves and fighting back against the Liberals and all
of their policies. Republicans rolled over for years and never
fought back. With Trump, He's unleashed a whole new view
(15:30):
of things.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But we're not seeing the violence like BLM and Antifa.
We did have an assassination attempt against Trump. RHTT said
something off the your Bonnie that I think even makes
more sense. It's as if the people have gotten a
little better, the politicians are the ones that have gotten worse.
Mary and Idaho. Hey, your morning.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Show sandwich definitely should be Italian bread with meatballs, mozzarella
and pepperoni for Michael, sweet peppers for Jeffrey, spicy red
sauce for Ed. Has to be a double decker for
jone decker with the side of wedge potatoes for Rory.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
O'Neil the clever Why are you sweet peppers? Do you have? Hey,
I'm the Homeland Security front Listen. If you have a
real ID, it'll be boarding as usual at the airport.
If you do not, you can fly, but you better
get there very early and expect some extra questioning. As
(16:26):
Homeland Security Secretary Christi Noome says, traveling without a real
EDD complying card will still be permitted, but not without
a lot of questions. Hey, this is Lee Murphy in Cottontown, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael Bill Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Hey, it's me Michael. You can listen to your morning
show live on the air or streaming live on your

Impact Radio one oh five nine and twelve fifty whd
(17:08):

us live and make us a part of your morning routine.
In the meantime, enjoy the podcast bron or to serve
you Sweet Pepper over there. Jeffrey's got a handle on
the sound bet keeping an eye Spicy Red, keeping an
eye on the top content stories, and I am your
humble host, Michael del jord. If you're just waking up,
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nooames says, traveling without a re
(17:30):
real ID compliant card is possible and permitted today and
for now, but you better arrive early and expect a
lot of questions. Pakistan calling an operation by Indian act
of war, let's pray not. And the Roman Catholic Church's
process of a conclave and electing a new pope starts today.
They'll all wheel in with their luggage, cardinals, but one
(17:52):
believe as pope and it's good to be on the road.
Two more road teams earned wins in the NBA. Pacers
get a two to nothing lead now over the Calves,
winning both in Cleveland, and the Warriors took Game one
against the Timberwolves in Minnesota last night. SAME's happening in
hockey as well. We'll keep an eye on all of
that for you. If I had two favorite stories today
(18:14):
and we touched on it earlier, we'll get back to
it a little bit later. Eighty three year old Democrat
representative from South Carolina, James Clyburn said, I can't leave Congress.
Why quit in Congress would be to give up my life.
Apparently it's become his entire life. And Lady Gaga's bombing
(18:34):
suspect in Rio de Janeiro turns out to be a
recently deported US illegal immigrant. Well, you know, the left
doesn't want you discovering that. We were all kind of
curious how the President would handle the new Prime Minister
of Canada. And the answer is, we don't want your cars,
we don't want your steel. We're going to make our own,
(18:55):
and I don't know why we're subsidizing it two hundred
billion dollars. John Decker was there, was it as uncomfortable
to witness as it was to watch.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
No, you know, I didn't feel uncomfortable when I was
in the Oval Office yesterday and they had this interaction
with each other with the press in the Oval Office,
it seemed.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
That they had a good, friendly rapport with each other. Michael.
That being said, you know, you saw the President politely.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Once again raise this idea of Canada as a fifty first.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
State, and you also heard the Canadian.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Prime Minister said that's never going to happen.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
There's just some things that.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Are for sale. I think was the way he said it,
you know, kind of like this.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Housewhere in Yeah, that's right, sticking up for him that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I was gonna say. I'm not sticking up for the
Prime minister. I'm just saying it's uncomfortable. I don't think
the president, you know, I don't know the wisdom of
that whole fifty first state thing. And maybe that was
directed at Truneau and the President took a little bit
of victory labor. Perhaps that didn't help, you know, him
as prime minister. But you know, I thought maybe there'd
be some smoothing over. No, the President draws a line
(20:08):
in the sand and says listen. You know, we love Canada.
We're always going to protect Canada, you know that militarily.
But why we're giving you two hundred million dollars we
want We're gonna make our own steal. We're going to
make our own cars. That was you know, he held
his line. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, And the President was asked towards the end of
that interaction while the press was in the room, whether
or not this meeting that he's having with the Prime
Minister Carney will lead to alleviating all these tariffs that
the President's going to impose upon Canada.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Our northern neighbor. And the President was very direct.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
He said, no, no, it won't change in any way
what I intend to do or my plans as it
relates to my tariffs policy. So, you know, to me,
this was an important meeting just to introduce each other.
You know, this is the first time the President Trump
had met Prime Minister Carney in person. They've spoken to
each other on phone. The President expressed his admiration for
(21:03):
his electoral victory recently as Prime minister. So that's a
good start, you know, But I think that's.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
All it is.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
It's a good start, it doesn't mean that there's going
to be movement in terms of removing those trade tariffs
on Canadian goods coming into the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Trade deficit in general has now widened with the tariff's
help level out that deficit. That's what time will tell
the President's hope.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Yeah, that's that's that's the big hope. You know.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
The trade deficit has.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Widened to its highest level ever, and so what the
President is hoping is that that trade imbalance that exists
with just about every country in the world is certainly
it exists with China. We are in a very big way,
comes down from where it is right now.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
This I'm going to play it in the hopes that
you can hear it, and I think you can get
this happened. The President made this announcement while sitting next
to the Prime Minister.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
We're going to a ue and quitar and that'll be
I guess Monday night.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Some of you are coming with us. I think before then,
we're gonna have a very very.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Big announcement to make like as big as it gets.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And I won't tell you on what, but it's gonna
and it's very positive.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
I'd also I tell you if it was negative or positive,
I can't keep that at it is really really positive,
and that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday
or Monday before we leave.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
This is where Scoop Decker comes in, because he brought
up the United Emirates, because he brought brought up Cutter.
Could this have something to do with Arab involvement in
the Gaza?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
You know, that's the kind of thing that you don't
hold your cards on. You want to introduce that information
as soon as possible. And the reason I say that
Michael lives are at stake, so you know, it's not
something you just roll out. You know, when you want
to roll it out, you want to present that information
as soon as possible because of those hostages that have
been held by AMAS since October than two two plus
(23:01):
years ago. I think it's related to trade. Actually, Michael
the President seemed to give that indication later on in
the Oval Office, referring to that big announcement. So maybe
it has to do with a trade agreement related to India,
because we know that those conversations are very far along,
all right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And then concerns with the India operation in Pakistani territory
Pakistan not responding that that action and operation is an
active war. Those tensions continue to increase. I remember about
twenty two years ago, I was on the air and
I felt like I was the only one in the
country that had my eye on how Pakistan and India
were on the brink of exchanging nukes and how hundreds
of millions could just be vanished from the earth. India
(23:40):
don't I will say this, and I'm not being you know, Bragagadosia.
India don't take no crap, and they're very decisive and
they do not like Pakistan, and so prayers need to
be flying for peace and cooler heads in this area.
The President also brought up to the Houthis don't want
to fight anymore and that he's going to stop bombing
(24:01):
any more. Elaboration on that.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Well, it seems to me an agreement was reached, you know,
because the Houthis are blocking and really impeding shipping channels
in that part of the world, and that is really
impacting the price of goods coming to America in a
very real way. It's impacting shipping container companies roots that
they take to get to the West, and so an
(24:26):
agreement has been reached that they no longer will attack
those shipping container ships and as a result, the US says,
if you do that, we won't attack you. And that's
the agreement that's been reached with the Houthi rebels.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
John used to have a tough job with the Biden administration.
They rarely had any kind of interaction with the press,
news conference, what have you. Now they're daily and as
at my count, five questions you got answered yesterday. Oh,
I'm going to call them front front road decker. That's
your new nickname. Great reporting is always It's all awesome.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Absolutely, Thanks so much, Michael, always appreciating on your show.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Talk to you tomorrow. All right, we're just waking up.
The Department of Justice is announcing the largest fentanyl seizure
in US history. Mark Mayfield has that story. Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
Attorney General Pam Bondi said officers seized over eleven kilos
of fentanyl, including three million pills labeled as oxy codone
that were linked with fentanyl. Bondi said Sineloa cartill members
living in the US illegally, we're behind the operation. She
said the leader was operating out of Salem, Oregon, and
the drugs were being moved through Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Utah.
Six alleged Cartill members have been arrested by Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
First, it was the incumbent mayor decided to run as
an independent. Now Andrew Cuomo plans to run for mayor
of New York City as an independent.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
The former Democratic governor of New York State announced the
move Tuesday, saying he'll run as an independent regardless of
whether he wins the Democratic primary. This is current Mayor
Eric Adams is also running as an independent and skipping
the Democratic primary entirely. Jomo is currently polling first in
the primary, with state assembly Menzora and Mundami in a
(26:05):
distant second.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Andrew Whitman NBC News Radio New York. A secret process
to select a new pope known as the Conclave. It
all begins in minutes.
Speaker 11 (26:15):
There are one hundred and thirty three cardinals from around
the world taking part of the voting process, with two
thirds majority needed for the next pope. Father Thomas Massero
at Fordam University. He says it's hard to narrow down
the favorites.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
Most of them are dark courses and the only name
of I'll mention is just because everybody knows his name
is Cardinal Pietro Paralin, who is the Secretary of State
of the Vatican.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
He does not think an American cardinal is much of
a chance because popes are usually not elected from the
world's most powerful countries. The Serra thinks that it'll take
two to four days of the conclave for the next
pope to be decided. Skeppringle NBC News Radio in New York.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Now, will there be an Asian pope? Luise Tagle highly
considered at sixty seven years old. Will there be a
Black Pope? Peter Turkson probably the front runner there at
seventy six years old, Butteo Zupi sixty nine, and I
think Parallel Perline probably the most likely to continue carrying
(27:14):
the torch in the direction of Pope Francis and then
highly on the rise. And this is where you want
to be, kind of in the middle and in an
uncontested area in terms of conservative versus more progressive is
Parabista Pizza Bala, who a lot of people think has
(27:34):
a really good chance of arriving a cardinal and leaving
a pope. The conclave begins about ten our time here
in the States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says there's a
lot of negotiations going on right now in trade agreements.
China is just not one of them yet.
Speaker 13 (27:49):
The Cent made the comment while testifying to lawmakers on
Capitol Hill Tuesday related to President Trump's budget request. However,
Chinese officials have said in recent days they were assessing
US proposals to start talking. Boscent suggested trade deals could
be announced with other partners in the coming days as well.
During his testimony, Basin said he expects to see a
substantial reduction in the tariffs that were being charged, as
(28:10):
well as non tariff barriers, currency manipulation, and the subsidies
of both labor and capital investments.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm Lisa Taylor, entertainer's in the legal crosshairs. Let's start
with the famed Motown singer Smokey Robinson. He's being accused
of sexual assault by former employees for women, all employed
as housekeepers, submitted a fifty million dollar lawsuit in a
Los Angeles Superior court yesterday. Among their allegations are sexual assault,
false imprisonment, and creating a hostile work environment. The lawsuit
(28:40):
also names the eighty five year old's wife Francis Robinson.
Smokey Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in
nineteen eighty seven. Meanwhile, a jury is expected to be
seated today in the Diddy Coombs sex trial. The embattled
rapper is facing life in prison on a number of charges,
including sex trafficking racketeering. In New York. Prosecutors alleged he
(29:00):
threatened and coerced women into sex. Defense attorneys are expected
to argue that Colmbs had consensual relationships. He's been behind
bars in Brooklyn since the arrest in September. And a
new study suggests people with mental disorders are more likely
to be left handed.
Speaker 14 (29:18):
The German researchers compared data from over two hundred thousand
individuals and found people with schizophrenia, autism, and other neurodevelopmental
disorders show higher rates of left handedness compared to the
general population. The study, published in the Psychological Bulletin, shows
hand preferences often beginning even before birth, with prenatal thumbsucking
at ten weeks of pregnancy being a good indicator of
(29:40):
hand preference later in life. I'm Tammy Trichio.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. This
is the type of person A two sides of the coin.
This is the type of person Joe Biden allowed into
your country, into your neighborhoods. The other side of the
coin is, this is exactly the type of people that
Donald Trump has been talking about and removing, not in hatred,
(30:07):
in love for you, in respect to you and your
children and your family and your safety. Sounds dramatic, right,
all right. There's also this thing called media bias. You know,
the stories you cover, the stories you don't, the people
you talk to, the people you don't, the angles you choose,
the angles you don't, the quote you use, the quote
(30:28):
you don't. So the Democrats have decided to die on
the Hill of Garcia. And now add da Silva. You'll
hear in our sounds of the day, one member of
Congress trying to bully the Homeland Security secretary. Imagine a
member of Congress bullying the head of Homeland Security over
trying to protect the American people and citing this rare
(30:52):
case where a child with cancer was deported. Now, the
notion is to make the Presidency, the administration, and Homeland
Security seem heartless. You're rounding up an American citizen an
American child with cancer and just shipping them out. How
heartless were these forms filled out? And of course the
truth of the cases, the parents entered the country illegally.
(31:17):
The parents were deported a priorities made to keep families together,
and the parents decided to leave with their children. So
the only reason why the child with cancer was in
America was because their parents came illegally. The only reason
that child is gone is because the parents chose in
deportation to bring their children with them. But they don't care.
(31:37):
They're grandstanding. But you're not going to see a member
of Congress drilling Christy Nome about Da Silva. You're not
going to see this be the lead story pounded down
your throat all day by the Washington Post, by The Atlantic,
(31:57):
by The New York Times, by MSNBC, ABC, NBCCBS sixty minutes.
I could go on and on and on. So over
the weekend there's this story. The first of all, we said, well,
we were shocked about two point five million people went
to a Lady Gaga concert. That's insane only in Rio, right,
(32:23):
I mean, even if you got one of the seats
in the first two hundred thousand, how far away is
Gaga let alone do and a half million. But what
the police did great in Rio de Janeiro was block
a bombing plan. Can you imagine improvised explosives and malotov
(32:46):
cocktails and how many people with two point five million
gathered in close quarters to watch Lady Gaga could have
been armed. But now you can't beat this part of
the story. The person arrested, lou UIs da Silva, forty
four years old, allegedly planned to live stream the attack
(33:06):
and detonate explosives near the stage during Lady Gaga's free
show at the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. He's
a recently deported migrant from the United States. One month
ago he was here thanks to Donald Trump. He was
(33:28):
there and praise God for Riodonesian law enforcement. He was
arrested before he could carry out this attack. We're all
in this together.
