Is the President within his constitutional authority to take action to secure DC? And if the answer is yes (and it is), why hasn’t a President done it sooner??!!
What used to be called “food stamps” is now called SNAP, the government’s “Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program.” The program is designed to provide nutritious food to those who can’t afford it – but does that include candy and soda? Many Republican-led states are leading the charge to ban certain items. National Correspondent RORY O’NEILL will take a look at where some junk food is no longer available to those who are being given assistance, and what the reaction has been.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning Show with michae Odell Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Seven minutes halfter the hour. Welcome to Tuesday, August the twelfth.
Do you have Our Lord twenty twenty five on the
air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
your morning show. It belongs to you. We simply cannot
have it without your voice. We're going to get to
those in a moment. President Trump announced he's federalizing Washington, DC,
at least for thirty days to crack down on crime.
Well it stop there, will it move on to other cities,
(00:55):
blue cities and blue states where crime is out of control.
President also signed an executive order to extend a truce
a tear off truce with China for another ninety days,
and we're keeping an eye on what forecasters are saying
is likely to become a hurricane towards the end of
this week, and that's tropical storm erin ken Have your
morning show without your voice, used the talk back button
(01:16):
on the iHeartRadio app, or email Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. I'm gonna try to go in the best
order I can. Ed's in Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I can ask to remind her that the DOJ has
taken over quite a few police departments over the years.
As a matter of fact, they're trying to do that
with the Phoenix PD right now. The only difference is
that Donald Trump is involved. And speaking of the DOJ,
is it my imagination or does Pambondi look like she's
(01:44):
aged six years in the last six months. I'll help
the pressure is not getting to her.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yes, she does look like she's been under a lot
of stress. I really don't have much to add to that.
I usually presidents age. In this case, it's attorney generals.
It's very very constitutional what the president is doing, especially
with DC. It could get a little bit more tricky
in other cities, but no question, and DC has no
chance of statehood without a I think a constitutional amendment,
(02:14):
which isn't very likely for the nation. What is it,
two thirds to the nation have to vote for that.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Sean's and Nashville, Good morning, Michael, love your show. Don't
you love the delusion of the Democrats. The mayor of
DC blames the homeless problem on Trump's first presidency. It's
absolutely laughable. The city's been in shambles for decades.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, and not just DC, right, I mean, this is
what nobody wants this to be. But it can't help
but be just a big partisan food fight. But there's
some common problems, and they're manifesting in very blue states
and very blue cities, not exclusively, but by and large.
(03:03):
And you might want to take a good, long, hard
look at some of these things and address them for
the sake of care and for the sake of public safety.
But yes, I obviously hopelessness has been a problem in Washington,
d C. In other major cities long before Donald Trump
was president. That would be a real stretch. Try to
blame that. I got time before we get to DC.
(03:26):
Do two. I definitely want to do Woody. We'll get
to the others after. Let's do Randy and Saint Louis
real quick and then Woody.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
You know, I just got to finished. Listen, Janine Shapiro
couldn't agree with her more. You know, if you can't
charge the kids, perhaps you should hold the parents responsible
and lock them up for their responsibility of not taking
charge of what goes on in their families.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, that's why for years we talked about, you know,
lose God, lose man, attack on faith, and then you
lose faith, you lose family and the breakdown of family
what that means to the community in society. These are
big deals. You'd have a hard time finding parents to
hold accountable in many of these cases. What he gets
the final.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Sec one in Mike Coot's Woody in Arizona. This white
woman that rants about the white Trump voters that shouldn't
be allowed in Mexican restaurants embodies everything that's wrong with
the liberal left. They are the true racist. I guess
my question of her would be, what about the blacks
and the Hispanics that voted for Trump? Should they also
(04:32):
not be allowed in Mexican restaurants?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, that's a great point. First of all, I'm insulted
that it presumes that because I believe in a sovereign nation,
and because I believe in borders that are secure and protected,
because I believe in law and order and law enforcement,
that that would make me in some way a nativist
or racist and somehow disqualified or hypocritical to eat at
(04:57):
such places. But this what I was really speaking to
is how misinformed or distortedly informed or narrativised the left's
opinions are, and their opinions drawn on false realities. That's
the problem. That's how they arrive at such irrational conclusions
that if you're for border security, don't take your fat
(05:19):
rear end any Mexican restaurant. Well, that's presuming presuming that
presuming that the family that's running their restaurant is illegal,
and they're not, you know what I mean. Just I
could go on and on. That's why I told Redd
I didn't want to play that video. I could do
two hours dismantling every comment she makes. But if I
was that distortedly or misinformed or narrativised, I guess I
(05:40):
could be that angry too. But it's just not true.
David's and not He's the CEO of the American Policy
round Table, host of the Public Square, he's also our
senior contributor. Good morning, David. Well you look young and
handsome and active. What's up with that? You've lost weight too,
haven't you better cameras? Oh, that's what it is. I do.
(06:02):
Notice you've got like a little fuzz on you. You've
got the little bit of the Diane Sawyer thing going
not me.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Yes, yes, the shaded light.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
Hey, what do you think those restaurant owners think about
the comments of those benevolent comedians saying basically, if your
white police don't come to our restaurant anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I played a clip. I played several clips, and I
didn't want to be ugly, and so there I was editing,
and then I don't think it made sense. Maybe I
just need to There's just no substance. There's just no
you know, I overthink things. I get that. I know
that I know that I'm a spirit being having an
(06:44):
earthly human experience. I'm not a earthly human who every
now and then has spiritual experiences. So I know that
I have values, and I have them in a specific
order to guard my heart and mind and to protect me.
And then I have rule for those values, which are
my beliefs that I stick to them. I mean, everything
that I do and everything I say is reasoned. These
(07:07):
people have arrived and I could play you the Jimmy
Kimmel clip, I could play you the Lady from Bravo.
They arrive at such shallow, non substantive, irrational places that
they don't even feel a need to explain how they
got there. David, this becomes I mean, I know we've
lost critical thought. I know we've lost God, and therefore
(07:28):
we've lost a man. I mean, I know all of that.
It's just gotten to a point where I am in
awe of it. I'm in all of it.
Speaker 9 (07:36):
Yeah, Michael, it's we've sewn to the wind and now
we're reaping the whirlwind in regards to our human identity,
and what people don't remember, perhaps is that the United
States was founded on the premise that we could be
one people.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Out of many, one one.
Speaker 9 (07:55):
And when we accept a series of doctrines in fullilosophies
that devolve us back to tribalism, we're going to have
a very difficult time maintaining our national character. And without
our national character, there's nothing to sacrifice for. And America
only works when people are willing to work it, and
that work takes sacrifice, and so when people who don't work,
(08:17):
and generally don't work for a living, who don't have jobs.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Now, I'm not suggesting that being a comic is easy work.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's not.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
I understand that well.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I would suggest that neither have done comedy for about
a decade a half.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
It's an interesting life flow.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
But when people stop making things and living by the
sweat of their brow and caring immensely about city councils
and school boards and what's happening in their local community,
when they lose their groundedness in our common humanity, they
can sit back in their tribalists armchairs and throw bombs
at people they don't like, and somehow that's become noble
(08:56):
in America.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And somehow that's why you have no audience anymore, and
you probably face non contract renewal and probably join Stephen
Colbert in doing something else. And that's probably what's ahead
for Jimmy Kimmel. But they can't figure that out. Of course,
they're a victim. They don't realize what they've done. I
guess my question becomes, we had this conversation earlier yesterday,
(09:21):
when did we go from servanthood, representatives going to Washington
representing their district, collectively serving towards the greater good for
the collective country, to just shirts and skins partisanship. Now,
I think your post tip O'Neil to where it becomes gridlock,
(09:45):
to the kind of dysfunction that we have today, which
is utter selfishness, career selfishness. If not celebrity, they're not
serving their district, They're serving themselves. The Senator has become
a club of one one hundred and what caused it?
TV had a roll, Cable TV in twenty four hour
(10:07):
news had a role. Internet personalized the fight among us,
and we all began to be politically divided. When did
it happen? What was its cause? More importantly, how do
we fix it?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Boy?
Speaker 9 (10:24):
The final question there is the most substantive one. How
do we fix it? Let's work from the backwards, if
you will. How we fix it is through restoring a
concept of the value of all humanity as equal created
in the image of God. Therefore, I'm called not just
to take, I'm called to serve. And if I am
a follower of Jesus Christ, i am called to love
my neighbor. As I love myself, which means I've got
(10:46):
to get off the couch, I've got to get off
the screen, and I've got to actually care about things
that are within my responsibility. Now, I know none of
us can change the world, and none of us can
fix the whole thing, but we can change the added
tude of the communities in which we live.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You mean just following it overwhelmed on social media and
putting a heart or a little crying eye or letting
them know you're praying from that's not loving.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Yeah, Godness is not built on emojis. Oh okay, it
actually takes.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
And look, I'm guilty of the same thing I was
asking myself the other day, when was the last time
I was at a city council meeting. Because we deal
with politics across the country, sometimes you can think, well,
I'm in this state, I'm in that capital, I'm just
in Washington, d C. But by wait a second, what
about the street that I live on? Do I know
my members of city council? Do I know who my
state legislators are? Am I in contextual conversation of care
(11:41):
and concern about how my garbage gets picked up and
how my streets get plowed. It's very simple. We stopped
doing the work now. So that's the first thing. It's
been abdication of our personal responsible and that goes I
start there, and we've justified it because we pay so
much in taxes. It's been convenient and there are people
who have been happy to step in, get government jobs,
(12:02):
great pensions and insurance programs, work for the city, work
for the state, take our tax dollars and do the
best they can. And the only time we get involved
is when we're mad about something right, not a good plan. However,
there's two other factors. That one is the driving force
is the size of state and federal budgets. The people
that now run Congress and most state legislators, legislators have
(12:24):
the best jobs they could ever get.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That best.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
They're middle management people who are making more money they
could in the corporate world, and man, do they get
treated nice when they're in their capital. And so you've
got middle management people controlling trillions of dollars in budgets,
and that means they have great power, which then means
the political parties have great power stay organized to the
money and to control It's a very corrupt system, but
(12:48):
it starts with us.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, and I think the biggest dots to connect to
be self evident truth. Could America ever get on the
same page. Could it pick a god? Could it pick
right and wrong? I mean, could we ever returned to
not debating every little thing and interpreting every little thing?
I mean, some things are just true.
Speaker 9 (13:06):
Well, I think that's true, and I think it does happen.
It happens usually in tragedies. It happens when a tremendous
flood comes in and that no one saw coming. I
mean I watched what happened in Nashville, Tennessee, when we
had those historic floods. It was twenty ten, I believed,
and houses were washing down the river. I mean I
flew over and got back home, and when I saw
nothing but mud from the sky, I knew we were
(13:26):
in trouble. And for months there were no boundaries. There
were no neighborhood boundaries, there were no racial boundaries.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
We just had to help each other. Sometimes tragedy makes
us hungry for true love.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, we do have a story today that I think
you're going to find very interesting. I'll share it with
you in the audience when your morning show continues Nick.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
The President announced he's federalizing DC's police department as part
of a crime crackdown. My question for David Zanatti, our
senior contributor and CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, is
the president within his constitutional authority? I'll cut to the
chase and say, yes he is. And if so, why
hasn't any other president done this sooner? And why should
he stop in DC? Walk us through that. Well, it's
(14:15):
tricky politically, but people are unsafe. But it's going to
be a lot easier in DC than other cities if
he continues to move on.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Well, the premise upon which the President is operating is
actually coming out of Article one, not Article three. I mean,
I don't believe I've got Article three in from you.
I don't think that there's anything that says the president
can run the District of Columbia because at the time
the Constitution was created, the district was just being founded,
(14:43):
and all of the authority over the District of Columbia
was to be in the power of Congress. To be precise, Michael,
the Congress has the power to exercise exclusive legislation in
all cases whatsoever over such district not exceeding ten miles square,
as may by session of particular states, and the acceptance
(15:06):
of Congress become the seat of the government. In other words,
this is Congress's called. And it looks like what we've
got as a situation where the president is going as
far as he can go until someone stops him with
federal authority being defined in the administration because Congress won't
do anything, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, So that's why he gets thirty days and then
it's up to Congress to make a determination. And then
I think when you start getting to sovereign states and
cities within sovereign states outside of DC, I think that
gets a little bit more problem. I mean, ultimately, the
solution is the people in these cities need to prioritize
and hold accountable. They're elected officials that they're electing public
(15:48):
safety and they're not well.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
I mean, if you've been to Washington, we've had family
just their staff just there and I was there just
a bit ago.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
It is a very confused place right now.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
It does feel like the Civil War is already happening
on the streets there.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
This is Shannon Gregory and my Morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael de Jono.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Your Morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here now, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Thanks for allowing us the honor to be with you.
On the drive to work. President Trump announced he's federalizing Washington,
DC's police department. Does he have the constitutional right to
do that? Why was d C not allowed to be
a state? Why was it never intended to be a
place anyone would live? And now it's the eighth largest city.
David s and I woll give you some of the
(16:51):
historical background on that coming up in moments from now.
President also signed an executive order to extend the tariff
truce with China for ninety days. I think that's to
make way for some wiggle room to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile,
Zelensky will not be at that Alaska summit. That announcement
was made, all right, we used to call it food stamps.
Now we call it SNAP Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. The
(17:15):
program was designed to provide nutritious food to those who
can't afford it. But does that include candy soda? Now
we live in a country where I believe it's two
thirds of us to three quarters of us, you know,
or our diet is two thirds to three quarters processed food.
(17:38):
So we're not very very healthy in and of ourselves.
But roy O'Neil's here to say to talk to us
about how many Republican led states and it's a very
difficult conversation to have self governance should take care of it,
but it doesn't. They're going to take a look at
whether or not junk food should be allowed with SNAPS.
I thought we've been, haven't We've been having this conversation
(18:00):
going on at least two three decades. Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
And remember Mayor Bloomberg when it was mayor of New
York City was vilified for trying to get rid of
the big gulp. But in this case, it's a question
of taxpayer dollars being used to pay for candy and soda.
And now we're seeing Republican led states one blue state exemption.
Ask the federal government for waivers so that they can
(18:24):
have the snap benefits excluded to pay for things like
soda and candy and process desserts and energy drinks and
which on the.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
List of which leads to other people having to pay
for medical care. I mean, I guess if the American
My point was going to be, if the American people
want to dig their grave with their fork anyat terrible
and they're doing it with their money, it's their prerogative.
And they're paying for their medical expenses with their money,
it's their prerogative. But the minute you're dependent on others
to pay for you, should you have a say in it?
(18:54):
I mean I would The other knowledge you would be
if I'm supporting my mom and suddenly she's out blowing
money and not paying, you know, for necessities. I'm going
to start saying something when I'm the one giving her
the money. But it's very awkward to do, very But
what if it's unemployment? What if it's your Social Security check?
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Do we just tell you how you can pay your
social or what you should pay your Social Security check?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Hunt? Yeah, I mean I'm just being as advocate here. No, no, no,
I get it. But that's what makes it a difficult conversation.
My question is it should be a difficult I mean,
would we allow snap to pay for cigarettes? Right? Alcohol? Right?
We don't do? We? No? Right? And for good reason?
All right? No TELI needs either. Yeah, that's where you're
(19:40):
getting into. You know. Now, if you start micro managing this,
it starts getting very very uncomfortable. What we want to
do is help people. Maybe it's just not the government
to play middleman and assume everybody is in need and
not just taking advantage of a system and everybody else
should pay for it. Maybe we should return to better
(20:01):
ways to do this, like through the church or something.
I don't know, But where do we go with this?
And why is it so blue versus red? It shouldn't
be what it is. And also not making a lifestyle
something that's temporary. Right, Well, incentivize it, right, you'll get
more of it, right right. There was a viral video
about two weeks ago. I didn't even want to bring
it up, but this is a mother, doesn't matter what
(20:25):
color she is, it's a mother chastising her son who
wants to go to school and get a job. But
it would jeopardize her ability to get free things and
it went viral because for not all, but for some
it is that. All right, So where do we go
from here on this, Well, we're going to see more
states request these waivers blue and red. This has sort
(20:49):
of been seen though as part of that MAHA movement
that the States are signing on to sort of adding
to the ways that they're showing public support for Donald
Trump in this way that they're doing in a high
profile way. But yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Because also we don't have any evidence to show that
limiting these kinds of sugary suites through these kind of
programs actually has an impact on health. We assume it does,
and maybe there's a common sense element, but there's no
data to support them.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Right, great reporting today, Right, we'll talk again tomorrow. Thank
you so much visiting with David Sonati on all of this,
because I think that's the question on everybody's mind. In
the five o'clock hour, I laid it out in this way.
The narratives have already formed. This is what I woke
up to from the Atlantic, just to give David proper footing.
(21:40):
For years, prominent voices on the right argue that Democrats
were enacting a police state. They labeled everything report on
Home Grown Extremism irs investigations into nonprofits a sign of
impending authoritarianism. Measures taken by state governments to combat the
spread of COVID they called it tyranny, the FBI search
(22:01):
of Marlago, weaponization of law enforcement. And now a president
is actually sending federal troops officers into the streets of
one of our nation's cities, and the right is lockstep
behind him. And that's exactly what Donald Trump's doing and
calling it Liberation Day. All right, So you knew that
(22:22):
the left was going to play the narrative, Oh, this
is Trump tyrant, this is overreach. He's coming in with
tanks and armed soldiers into our cities. The other, more
nuanced narrative from the left is, well, why would you
do this now? I mean, the crime numbers are down
in DC. They really don't need it. Of course, there
(22:45):
was a July eighteenth story of this year on NBC
four of a DC police commander suspended why he was
changing all the crime statistics. So I don't know if
you can trust the crime statistics. Nobody in DC feels safe,
and the President made his case yesterday. But the question is,
is it constitutional. Does the president have this authority? Why
is why did our founding fathers not want d C
(23:08):
to be a city or a state.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Well, they didn't want these to be a state because
they were carving it out of two states and it
was basically land that was being offered for a federal capital.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
And it was to be a neutral zone.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's a diamond shaped ten square mile portion of Maryland
and Virginia. It was never intended to be a state.
Why did they not think it could be a state.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
Well, because it was to be neutral, It was not
to be factionalized. It was to be a representation of
the character of we the people, and in essence and
offering from the land mass of the Union through the
two states that were willing to succeed this succeed this land,
surrender this land in such a way that the capital
could be conducted without political abuse.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
That was the idea. Now, how far have we fallen
off of that mouth exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
By the way, I don't I don't know if you
want to add to this, but I would think the
founding fathers will think of, well, we can't have it
be a city or a state, because then they'll have
a governor what if the governor does this, or if
it's a city, it as a mayor and they do this,
that is unsafe for it people to even gather all.
I mean, we've missed it from every angle.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
But do you understand supposed to be the shepherd of
this district ten miles?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
I mean, if you're supposed to run a country, can't
you to handle ten miles?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And ultimately, after thirty days, it will be Congress's responsibility
as to what becomes of this. But there's no question
that the president has this temporary authority. There's no question
we have completely missed what it is. But there's also
this notion of, well, if you do DC, how do
you ignore Detroit or Chicago or some of these other cities.
(24:50):
And that's why I look at you and I say,
I think DC is easy, but I think these other
cities will be more difficult, well, and politically be more difficult.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
No governor to stand against the president in those other places.
Excuse me, there's no governor d C stand against the president.
So the state can push back against federal invention and
can go to court and stop federal invention. What's interesting
is if Congress had any interest at all in being Congress,
they would actually be sitting with the president and working
(25:19):
out objectives, and these measures would be being worked through
the United States Congress because Congress has the primary plenary
responsibility in Article one of the Constitution. And if you
examine Article two, which is the presidency doesn't talk about
the detent failure.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
We're visiting with David Snati on this whole issue of
the president federalizing the police department and stepping in where
the cities are failing to keep their people safe. In general,
the number one priority of government is security of its people.
That's failed at the municipal level, that's failed at state
(25:57):
levels in some cases, So does the federal government have
the right to step in and take advantage. The ideal
thing would be for the people in these cities to
prioritize first and most public safety, elect accordingly and hold
elected officials accountable. But when they don't, then what and
they haven't for a long time and a lot of
(26:19):
people are dying.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Well, this could be a very dangerous situation if the
left were to decide that this is the best way
to take on Donald Trump in the violent opposition, because
it's going to happen between the president and the people
of the district. Is this where a form of civil
war breaks out?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I mean, what if district police turn on National Guard?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
What if the people decide to take the law completely
into their own hands. What will the district police do?
What will the federal police do? I mean, is this
a readaptation of Fort Sumter.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Well, here's what I broke down in the five o'clock hour.
We have the new statistics Harriet and broke them down
on CNN. But nobody cares about Epstein anymore. It's a
big nothing burger. In fact, Google searches are down eighty
five percent in three weeks. All right, So they went
big beautiful Bill. Well, first of all, they went he's
a felon impeachment, you know, weaponization. Then they went big
(27:22):
beautiful Bill. It became a nothing burger. Then they went Epstein.
It was a big nothing burger. They're going to jump
on this, They're going to make this a big issue,
and they're going to gin it all up.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Michael.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
For the last fifteen years, we have been NonStop, twenty
four hours a day, lamenting and absolutely fraudulent Congress. There's
some well intentioned people there, but it's still fraudulent. They
got one measure passed, and they had to do it
through reconciliation so they could get a simple majority. Congress
cannect it out of its own way. It's completely crippled
its ability because of supermajoritis in the Senate and the
(27:56):
Club of one hundred.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
They can't get anything done.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
And so Donald Trump is trying to do what he
can do until somebody catches up with him. And that's
why there's so many lawsuits. And the lawsuits are fair lawsuits.
Trump isn't trying to steal anything. He's not trying to
corrupt anything. He's trying to do as much as he
can do with the authority that he has in Article two.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
But for a founding father's vision sake, what should have
happened yesterday was Johnson and Jeffries having a news conference
about Congress intervening.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Exactly, Yeah, exactly, and the president.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
But if they don't, you want a president who does politically,
the high stakes game is, we got a failure in
our cities and a lot of kids are dying, and
a lot of people are dying. And if people won't
elect the right people to prioritize law enforcement and they
won't enforce the law, and they won't, you know, keep
people in jail when they're apprehended, or convict them and
(28:56):
sentence them.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
What do you do if the billionaire club of the
socialist left decides that Washington, DC is the place where
they say no to Donald Trump and they make this
the one hundred percent sacrifice, the president is going to
have a big problem his.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Andswer We know that they planned insurrection if it didn't
work the shadow campaign in twenty twenty, and I've told
you if that was their play, then that'll be their
next play too. Is Donald Trump a step ahead and
it could create an awakening in the blue dangerous blue cities,
(29:34):
or because they don't have much to hang their hat on.
I don't even think their strategists believe that Big Beautiful
Bill is going to be enough to give them control
of Congress, or that Epstein's going to be enough to
get them control of Congress. I don't even know if
they think they can even do that. I mean, at
what point do they play the insurrection card they were
(29:55):
willing to in twenty twenty. Is it heading that way
before twenty six?
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Very smart people, their lives are hanging in the balance.
If they decide to simply start with a district wide
strike of all service industries and all processes of work,
they could literally the people of the district could shut
the district down. And now the president is mired in
a very difficult situation.
Speaker 3 (30:19):

Speaker 10 (32:05):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
President says the Ukraine leader will not take part in
the summit with Vladimir Putin In Alaska. But the President
is confident he'll know within two minutes if a deal
can be struck, and he still thinks it's possible and
it's necessary to try to get a ceasefire and a
peace deal. That summit will happen on Friday. Our very
own John Decker will be traveling with the President reporting
(32:32):
here on your morning show. President also signed an executive
order to extend the tariff truce with China for another
ninety days. We talked a great specificity about how tricky
this is if you're going to sanction Russia and punish
them if they don't come to the table to talk
about a ceasefire and ending the war, and you're going
to start pressuring those that do business with Russia, like
(32:55):
the President already has with India for buying oil. Well,
guess who buys the most from Russia, China, And you're
trying to get a tariff deal with them, So this
extension becomes necessary. But that'll be problematic if they can't
get an agreement with Putin in ninety days. And I
suspect I'm not the only one that's figured this out.
Putin probably has as well. Meanwhile, the mayor of DC
(33:16):
is reacting to the president. The left is reacting to
what the President's doing in DC, which is why we
spend so much time talking about it with David Sanati.
It's certainly Congress's responsibility constitutionally to ultimately oversee this area,
but they're not doing it. The mayor is not doing it.
The Metro Police in DC is not doing it. So
(33:38):
the president's stepping in to do it. But if the
President has the sights on other cities that are in trouble,
that could get more problematic, and then this may be
the most underrated story of the day, that love is
overrated by an entire generation.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
A new dating survey by matchmaking service Talk of Fine
says forty six percent of gen Z which choose long
term financial stability over romance, and almost one in three
said they'd even take back an X if that X
got rich. The survey also found that one in ten
gen Z women say their ideal match should make two
hundred thousand dollars or more, and most won't settle for
(34:16):
less than eighty thousand dollars. Millennials, on the other hand,
have no problem with a broke and magical relationship, with
fifty nine percent choosing love over financial security.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
I'm Rob bart here. A lot of your talkbacks have
addressed a lot of the different things like reality TVs influence,
social media's influence. But I want to talk to the
parents of gen Zers. What have we missed. There's nobody
on their deathbed wanting to be surrounded by their money
(34:46):
or thinking about their money. At the end of the day,
all we have is what we did or didn't do
with the love of God, the love that we shared
with a spouse, and the amazing love we've shared with
our children, and the highest of all that perhaps we're
failing the love of others. What a tragic Only thing
left shocking in life is the truth reality. Let's hope
(35:08):
gen Z figures that out and in a hurry, that'll
do it for today.
Speaker 10 (35:12):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
with Michael ndheld Choo
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning Show with michae Odell Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Seven minutes halfter the hour. Welcome to Tuesday, August the twelfth.
Do you have Our Lord twenty twenty five on the
air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
your morning show. It belongs to you. We simply cannot
have it without your voice. We're going to get to
those in a moment. President Trump announced he's federalizing Washington, DC,
at least for thirty days to crack down on crime.
Well it stop there, will it move on to other cities,
(00:55):
blue cities and blue states where crime is out of control.
President also signed an executive order to extend a truce
a tear off truce with China for another ninety days,
and we're keeping an eye on what forecasters are saying
is likely to become a hurricane towards the end of
this week, and that's tropical storm erin ken Have your
morning show without your voice, used the talk back button
(01:16):
on the iHeartRadio app, or email Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. I'm gonna try to go in the best
order I can. Ed's in Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I can ask to remind her that the DOJ has
taken over quite a few police departments over the years.
As a matter of fact, they're trying to do that
with the Phoenix PD right now. The only difference is
that Donald Trump is involved. And speaking of the DOJ,
is it my imagination or does Pambondi look like she's
(01:44):
aged six years in the last six months. I'll help
the pressure is not getting to her.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yes, she does look like she's been under a lot
of stress. I really don't have much to add to that.
I usually presidents age. In this case, it's attorney generals.
It's very very constitutional what the president is doing, especially
with DC. It could get a little bit more tricky
in other cities, but no question, and DC has no
chance of statehood without a I think a constitutional amendment,
(02:14):
which isn't very likely for the nation. What is it,
two thirds to the nation have to vote for that.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Sean's and Nashville, Good morning, Michael, love your show. Don't
you love the delusion of the Democrats. The mayor of
DC blames the homeless problem on Trump's first presidency. It's
absolutely laughable. The city's been in shambles for decades.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, and not just DC, right, I mean, this is
what nobody wants this to be. But it can't help
but be just a big partisan food fight. But there's
some common problems, and they're manifesting in very blue states
and very blue cities, not exclusively, but by and large.
(03:03):
And you might want to take a good, long, hard
look at some of these things and address them for
the sake of care and for the sake of public safety.
But yes, I obviously hopelessness has been a problem in Washington,
d C. In other major cities long before Donald Trump
was president. That would be a real stretch. Try to
blame that. I got time before we get to DC.
(03:26):
Do two. I definitely want to do Woody. We'll get
to the others after. Let's do Randy and Saint Louis
real quick and then Woody.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
You know, I just got to finished. Listen, Janine Shapiro
couldn't agree with her more. You know, if you can't
charge the kids, perhaps you should hold the parents responsible
and lock them up for their responsibility of not taking
charge of what goes on in their families.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, that's why for years we talked about, you know,
lose God, lose man, attack on faith, and then you
lose faith, you lose family and the breakdown of family
what that means to the community in society. These are
big deals. You'd have a hard time finding parents to
hold accountable in many of these cases. What he gets
the final.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Sec one in Mike Coot's Woody in Arizona. This white
woman that rants about the white Trump voters that shouldn't
be allowed in Mexican restaurants embodies everything that's wrong with
the liberal left. They are the true racist. I guess
my question of her would be, what about the blacks
and the Hispanics that voted for Trump? Should they also
(04:32):
not be allowed in Mexican restaurants?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, that's a great point. First of all, I'm insulted
that it presumes that because I believe in a sovereign nation,
and because I believe in borders that are secure and protected,
because I believe in law and order and law enforcement,
that that would make me in some way a nativist
or racist and somehow disqualified or hypocritical to eat at
(04:57):
such places. But this what I was really speaking to
is how misinformed or distortedly informed or narrativised the left's
opinions are, and their opinions drawn on false realities. That's
the problem. That's how they arrive at such irrational conclusions
that if you're for border security, don't take your fat
(05:19):
rear end any Mexican restaurant. Well, that's presuming presuming that
presuming that the family that's running their restaurant is illegal,
and they're not, you know what I mean. Just I
could go on and on. That's why I told Redd
I didn't want to play that video. I could do
two hours dismantling every comment she makes. But if I
was that distortedly or misinformed or narrativised, I guess I
(05:40):
could be that angry too. But it's just not true.
David's and not He's the CEO of the American Policy
round Table, host of the Public Square, he's also our
senior contributor. Good morning, David. Well you look young and
handsome and active. What's up with that? You've lost weight too,
haven't you better cameras? Oh, that's what it is. I do.
(06:02):
Notice you've got like a little fuzz on you. You've
got the little bit of the Diane Sawyer thing going
not me.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Yes, yes, the shaded light.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
Hey, what do you think those restaurant owners think about
the comments of those benevolent comedians saying basically, if your
white police don't come to our restaurant anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I played a clip. I played several clips, and I
didn't want to be ugly, and so there I was editing,
and then I don't think it made sense. Maybe I
just need to There's just no substance. There's just no
you know, I overthink things. I get that. I know
that I know that I'm a spirit being having an
(06:44):
earthly human experience. I'm not a earthly human who every
now and then has spiritual experiences. So I know that
I have values, and I have them in a specific
order to guard my heart and mind and to protect me.
And then I have rule for those values, which are
my beliefs that I stick to them. I mean, everything
that I do and everything I say is reasoned. These
(07:07):
people have arrived and I could play you the Jimmy
Kimmel clip, I could play you the Lady from Bravo.
They arrive at such shallow, non substantive, irrational places that
they don't even feel a need to explain how they
got there. David, this becomes I mean, I know we've
lost critical thought. I know we've lost God, and therefore
(07:28):
we've lost a man. I mean, I know all of that.
It's just gotten to a point where I am in
awe of it. I'm in all of it.
Speaker 9 (07:36):
Yeah, Michael, it's we've sewn to the wind and now
we're reaping the whirlwind in regards to our human identity,
and what people don't remember, perhaps is that the United
States was founded on the premise that we could be
one people.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Out of many, one one.
Speaker 9 (07:55):
And when we accept a series of doctrines in fullilosophies
that devolve us back to tribalism, we're going to have
a very difficult time maintaining our national character. And without
our national character, there's nothing to sacrifice for. And America
only works when people are willing to work it, and
that work takes sacrifice, and so when people who don't work,
(08:17):
and generally don't work for a living, who don't have jobs.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Now, I'm not suggesting that being a comic is easy work.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's not.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
I understand that well.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I would suggest that neither have done comedy for about
a decade a half.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
It's an interesting life flow.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
But when people stop making things and living by the
sweat of their brow and caring immensely about city councils
and school boards and what's happening in their local community,
when they lose their groundedness in our common humanity, they
can sit back in their tribalists armchairs and throw bombs
at people they don't like, and somehow that's become noble
(08:56):
in America.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And somehow that's why you have no audience anymore, and
you probably face non contract renewal and probably join Stephen
Colbert in doing something else. And that's probably what's ahead
for Jimmy Kimmel. But they can't figure that out. Of course,
they're a victim. They don't realize what they've done. I
guess my question becomes, we had this conversation earlier yesterday,
(09:21):
when did we go from servanthood, representatives going to Washington
representing their district, collectively serving towards the greater good for
the collective country, to just shirts and skins partisanship. Now,
I think your post tip O'Neil to where it becomes gridlock,
(09:45):
to the kind of dysfunction that we have today, which
is utter selfishness, career selfishness. If not celebrity, they're not
serving their district, They're serving themselves. The Senator has become
a club of one one hundred and what caused it?
TV had a roll, Cable TV in twenty four hour
(10:07):
news had a role. Internet personalized the fight among us,
and we all began to be politically divided. When did
it happen? What was its cause? More importantly, how do
we fix it?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Boy?
Speaker 9 (10:24):
The final question there is the most substantive one. How
do we fix it? Let's work from the backwards, if
you will. How we fix it is through restoring a
concept of the value of all humanity as equal created
in the image of God. Therefore, I'm called not just
to take, I'm called to serve. And if I am
a follower of Jesus Christ, i am called to love
my neighbor. As I love myself, which means I've got
(10:46):
to get off the couch, I've got to get off
the screen, and I've got to actually care about things
that are within my responsibility. Now, I know none of
us can change the world, and none of us can
fix the whole thing, but we can change the added
tude of the communities in which we live.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You mean just following it overwhelmed on social media and
putting a heart or a little crying eye or letting
them know you're praying from that's not loving.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Yeah, Godness is not built on emojis. Oh okay, it
actually takes.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
And look, I'm guilty of the same thing I was
asking myself the other day, when was the last time
I was at a city council meeting. Because we deal
with politics across the country, sometimes you can think, well,
I'm in this state, I'm in that capital, I'm just
in Washington, d C. But by wait a second, what
about the street that I live on? Do I know
my members of city council? Do I know who my
state legislators are? Am I in contextual conversation of care
(11:41):
and concern about how my garbage gets picked up and
how my streets get plowed. It's very simple. We stopped
doing the work now. So that's the first thing. It's
been abdication of our personal responsible and that goes I
start there, and we've justified it because we pay so
much in taxes. It's been convenient and there are people
who have been happy to step in, get government jobs,
(12:02):
great pensions and insurance programs, work for the city, work
for the state, take our tax dollars and do the
best they can. And the only time we get involved
is when we're mad about something right, not a good plan. However,
there's two other factors. That one is the driving force
is the size of state and federal budgets. The people
that now run Congress and most state legislators, legislators have
(12:24):
the best jobs they could ever get.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That best.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
They're middle management people who are making more money they
could in the corporate world, and man, do they get
treated nice when they're in their capital. And so you've
got middle management people controlling trillions of dollars in budgets,
and that means they have great power, which then means
the political parties have great power stay organized to the
money and to control It's a very corrupt system, but
(12:48):
it starts with us.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, and I think the biggest dots to connect to
be self evident truth. Could America ever get on the
same page. Could it pick a god? Could it pick
right and wrong? I mean, could we ever returned to
not debating every little thing and interpreting every little thing?
I mean, some things are just true.
Speaker 9 (13:06):
Well, I think that's true, and I think it does happen.
It happens usually in tragedies. It happens when a tremendous
flood comes in and that no one saw coming. I
mean I watched what happened in Nashville, Tennessee, when we
had those historic floods. It was twenty ten, I believed,
and houses were washing down the river. I mean I
flew over and got back home, and when I saw
nothing but mud from the sky, I knew we were
(13:26):
in trouble. And for months there were no boundaries. There
were no neighborhood boundaries, there were no racial boundaries.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
We just had to help each other. Sometimes tragedy makes
us hungry for true love.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, we do have a story today that I think
you're going to find very interesting. I'll share it with
you in the audience when your morning show continues Nick.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
The President announced he's federalizing DC's police department as part
of a crime crackdown. My question for David Zanatti, our
senior contributor and CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, is
the president within his constitutional authority? I'll cut to the
chase and say, yes he is. And if so, why
hasn't any other president done this sooner? And why should
he stop in DC? Walk us through that. Well, it's
(14:15):
tricky politically, but people are unsafe. But it's going to
be a lot easier in DC than other cities if
he continues to move on.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Well, the premise upon which the President is operating is
actually coming out of Article one, not Article three. I mean,
I don't believe I've got Article three in from you.
I don't think that there's anything that says the president
can run the District of Columbia because at the time
the Constitution was created, the district was just being founded,
(14:43):
and all of the authority over the District of Columbia
was to be in the power of Congress. To be precise, Michael,
the Congress has the power to exercise exclusive legislation in
all cases whatsoever over such district not exceeding ten miles square,
as may by session of particular states, and the acceptance
(15:06):
of Congress become the seat of the government. In other words,
this is Congress's called. And it looks like what we've
got as a situation where the president is going as
far as he can go until someone stops him with
federal authority being defined in the administration because Congress won't
do anything, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, So that's why he gets thirty days and then
it's up to Congress to make a determination. And then
I think when you start getting to sovereign states and
cities within sovereign states outside of DC, I think that
gets a little bit more problem. I mean, ultimately, the
solution is the people in these cities need to prioritize
and hold accountable. They're elected officials that they're electing public
(15:48):
safety and they're not well.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
I mean, if you've been to Washington, we've had family
just their staff just there and I was there just
a bit ago.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
It is a very confused place right now.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
It does feel like the Civil War is already happening
on the streets there.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
This is Shannon Gregory and my Morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael de Jono.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Your Morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here now, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Thanks for allowing us the honor to be with you.
On the drive to work. President Trump announced he's federalizing Washington,
DC's police department. Does he have the constitutional right to
do that? Why was d C not allowed to be
a state? Why was it never intended to be a
place anyone would live? And now it's the eighth largest city.
David s and I woll give you some of the
(16:51):
historical background on that coming up in moments from now.
President also signed an executive order to extend the tariff
truce with China for ninety days. I think that's to
make way for some wiggle room to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile,
Zelensky will not be at that Alaska summit. That announcement
was made, all right, we used to call it food stamps.
Now we call it SNAP Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. The
(17:15):
program was designed to provide nutritious food to those who
can't afford it. But does that include candy soda? Now
we live in a country where I believe it's two
thirds of us to three quarters of us, you know,
or our diet is two thirds to three quarters processed food.
(17:38):
So we're not very very healthy in and of ourselves.
But roy O'Neil's here to say to talk to us
about how many Republican led states and it's a very
difficult conversation to have self governance should take care of it,
but it doesn't. They're going to take a look at
whether or not junk food should be allowed with SNAPS.
I thought we've been, haven't We've been having this conversation
(18:00):
going on at least two three decades. Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 11 (18:03):
And remember Mayor Bloomberg when it was mayor of New
York City was vilified for trying to get rid of
the big gulp. But in this case, it's a question
of taxpayer dollars being used to pay for candy and soda.
And now we're seeing Republican led states one blue state exemption.
Ask the federal government for waivers so that they can
(18:24):
have the snap benefits excluded to pay for things like
soda and candy and process desserts and energy drinks and
which on the.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
List of which leads to other people having to pay
for medical care. I mean, I guess if the American
My point was going to be, if the American people
want to dig their grave with their fork anyat terrible
and they're doing it with their money, it's their prerogative.
And they're paying for their medical expenses with their money,
it's their prerogative. But the minute you're dependent on others
to pay for you, should you have a say in it?
(18:54):
I mean I would The other knowledge you would be
if I'm supporting my mom and suddenly she's out blowing
money and not paying, you know, for necessities. I'm going
to start saying something when I'm the one giving her
the money. But it's very awkward to do, very But
what if it's unemployment? What if it's your Social Security check?
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Do we just tell you how you can pay your
social or what you should pay your Social Security check?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Hunt? Yeah, I mean I'm just being as advocate here. No, no, no,
I get it. But that's what makes it a difficult conversation.
My question is it should be a difficult I mean,
would we allow snap to pay for cigarettes? Right? Alcohol? Right?
We don't do? We? No? Right? And for good reason?
All right? No TELI needs either. Yeah, that's where you're
(19:40):
getting into. You know. Now, if you start micro managing this,
it starts getting very very uncomfortable. What we want to
do is help people. Maybe it's just not the government
to play middleman and assume everybody is in need and
not just taking advantage of a system and everybody else
should pay for it. Maybe we should return to better
(20:01):
ways to do this, like through the church or something.
I don't know, But where do we go with this?
And why is it so blue versus red? It shouldn't
be what it is. And also not making a lifestyle
something that's temporary. Right, Well, incentivize it, right, you'll get
more of it, right right. There was a viral video
about two weeks ago. I didn't even want to bring
it up, but this is a mother, doesn't matter what
(20:25):
color she is, it's a mother chastising her son who
wants to go to school and get a job. But
it would jeopardize her ability to get free things and
it went viral because for not all, but for some
it is that. All right, So where do we go
from here on this, Well, we're going to see more
states request these waivers blue and red. This has sort
(20:49):
of been seen though as part of that MAHA movement
that the States are signing on to sort of adding
to the ways that they're showing public support for Donald
Trump in this way that they're doing in a high
profile way. But yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Because also we don't have any evidence to show that
limiting these kinds of sugary suites through these kind of
programs actually has an impact on health. We assume it does,
and maybe there's a common sense element, but there's no
data to support them.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Right, great reporting today, Right, we'll talk again tomorrow. Thank
you so much visiting with David Sonati on all of this,
because I think that's the question on everybody's mind. In
the five o'clock hour, I laid it out in this way.
The narratives have already formed. This is what I woke
up to from the Atlantic, just to give David proper footing.
(21:40):
For years, prominent voices on the right argue that Democrats
were enacting a police state. They labeled everything report on
Home Grown Extremism irs investigations into nonprofits a sign of
impending authoritarianism. Measures taken by state governments to combat the
spread of COVID they called it tyranny, the FBI search
(22:01):
of Marlago, weaponization of law enforcement. And now a president
is actually sending federal troops officers into the streets of
one of our nation's cities, and the right is lockstep
behind him. And that's exactly what Donald Trump's doing and
calling it Liberation Day. All right, So you knew that
(22:22):
the left was going to play the narrative, Oh, this
is Trump tyrant, this is overreach. He's coming in with
tanks and armed soldiers into our cities. The other, more
nuanced narrative from the left is, well, why would you
do this now? I mean, the crime numbers are down
in DC. They really don't need it. Of course, there
(22:45):
was a July eighteenth story of this year on NBC
four of a DC police commander suspended why he was
changing all the crime statistics. So I don't know if
you can trust the crime statistics. Nobody in DC feels safe,
and the President made his case yesterday. But the question is,
is it constitutional. Does the president have this authority? Why
is why did our founding fathers not want d C
(23:08):
to be a city or a state.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Well, they didn't want these to be a state because
they were carving it out of two states and it
was basically land that was being offered for a federal capital.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
And it was to be a neutral zone.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's a diamond shaped ten square mile portion of Maryland
and Virginia. It was never intended to be a state.
Why did they not think it could be a state.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
Well, because it was to be neutral, It was not
to be factionalized. It was to be a representation of
the character of we the people, and in essence and
offering from the land mass of the Union through the
two states that were willing to succeed this succeed this land,
surrender this land in such a way that the capital
could be conducted without political abuse.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
That was the idea. Now, how far have we fallen
off of that mouth exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
By the way, I don't I don't know if you
want to add to this, but I would think the
founding fathers will think of, well, we can't have it
be a city or a state, because then they'll have
a governor what if the governor does this, or if
it's a city, it as a mayor and they do this,
that is unsafe for it people to even gather all.
I mean, we've missed it from every angle.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
But do you understand supposed to be the shepherd of
this district ten miles?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
I mean, if you're supposed to run a country, can't
you to handle ten miles?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And ultimately, after thirty days, it will be Congress's responsibility
as to what becomes of this. But there's no question
that the president has this temporary authority. There's no question
we have completely missed what it is. But there's also
this notion of, well, if you do DC, how do
you ignore Detroit or Chicago or some of these other cities.
(24:50):
And that's why I look at you and I say,
I think DC is easy, but I think these other
cities will be more difficult, well, and politically be more difficult.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
No governor to stand against the president in those other places.
Excuse me, there's no governor d C stand against the president.
So the state can push back against federal invention and
can go to court and stop federal invention. What's interesting
is if Congress had any interest at all in being Congress,
they would actually be sitting with the president and working
(25:19):
out objectives, and these measures would be being worked through
the United States Congress because Congress has the primary plenary
responsibility in Article one of the Constitution. And if you
examine Article two, which is the presidency doesn't talk about
the detent failure.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
We're visiting with David Snati on this whole issue of
the president federalizing the police department and stepping in where
the cities are failing to keep their people safe. In general,
the number one priority of government is security of its people.
That's failed at the municipal level, that's failed at state
(25:57):
levels in some cases, So does the federal government have
the right to step in and take advantage. The ideal
thing would be for the people in these cities to
prioritize first and most public safety, elect accordingly and hold
elected officials accountable. But when they don't, then what and
they haven't for a long time and a lot of
(26:19):
people are dying.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Well, this could be a very dangerous situation if the
left were to decide that this is the best way
to take on Donald Trump in the violent opposition, because
it's going to happen between the president and the people
of the district. Is this where a form of civil
war breaks out?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I mean, what if district police turn on National Guard?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
What if the people decide to take the law completely
into their own hands. What will the district police do?
What will the federal police do? I mean, is this
a readaptation of Fort Sumter.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Well, here's what I broke down in the five o'clock hour.
We have the new statistics Harriet and broke them down
on CNN. But nobody cares about Epstein anymore. It's a
big nothing burger. In fact, Google searches are down eighty
five percent in three weeks. All right, So they went
big beautiful Bill. Well, first of all, they went he's
a felon impeachment, you know, weaponization. Then they went big
(27:22):
beautiful Bill. It became a nothing burger. Then they went Epstein.
It was a big nothing burger. They're going to jump
on this, They're going to make this a big issue,
and they're going to gin it all up.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Michael.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
For the last fifteen years, we have been NonStop, twenty
four hours a day, lamenting and absolutely fraudulent Congress. There's
some well intentioned people there, but it's still fraudulent. They
got one measure passed, and they had to do it
through reconciliation so they could get a simple majority. Congress
cannect it out of its own way. It's completely crippled
its ability because of supermajoritis in the Senate and the
(27:56):
Club of one hundred.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
They can't get anything done.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
And so Donald Trump is trying to do what he
can do until somebody catches up with him. And that's
why there's so many lawsuits. And the lawsuits are fair lawsuits.
Trump isn't trying to steal anything. He's not trying to
corrupt anything. He's trying to do as much as he
can do with the authority that he has in Article two.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
But for a founding father's vision sake, what should have
happened yesterday was Johnson and Jeffries having a news conference
about Congress intervening.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Exactly, Yeah, exactly, and the president.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
But if they don't, you want a president who does politically,
the high stakes game is, we got a failure in
our cities and a lot of kids are dying, and
a lot of people are dying. And if people won't
elect the right people to prioritize law enforcement and they
won't enforce the law, and they won't, you know, keep
people in jail when they're apprehended, or convict them and
(28:56):
sentence them.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
What do you do if the billionaire club of the
socialist left decides that Washington, DC is the place where
they say no to Donald Trump and they make this
the one hundred percent sacrifice, the president is going to
have a big problem his.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Andswer We know that they planned insurrection if it didn't
work the shadow campaign in twenty twenty, and I've told
you if that was their play, then that'll be their
next play too. Is Donald Trump a step ahead and
it could create an awakening in the blue dangerous blue cities,
(29:34):
or because they don't have much to hang their hat on.
I don't even think their strategists believe that Big Beautiful
Bill is going to be enough to give them control
of Congress, or that Epstein's going to be enough to
get them control of Congress. I don't even know if
they think they can even do that. I mean, at
what point do they play the insurrection card they were
(29:55):
willing to in twenty twenty. Is it heading that way
before twenty six?
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Very smart people, their lives are hanging in the balance.
If they decide to simply start with a district wide
strike of all service industries and all processes of work,
they could literally the people of the district could shut
the district down. And now the president is mired in
a very difficult situation.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
David said, I'll be back again tomorrow too. By the way,

Speaker 10 (32:05):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
President says the Ukraine leader will not take part in
the summit with Vladimir Putin In Alaska. But the President
is confident he'll know within two minutes if a deal
can be struck, and he still thinks it's possible and
it's necessary to try to get a ceasefire and a
peace deal. That summit will happen on Friday. Our very
own John Decker will be traveling with the President reporting
(32:32):
here on your morning show. President also signed an executive
order to extend the tariff truce with China for another
ninety days. We talked a great specificity about how tricky
this is if you're going to sanction Russia and punish
them if they don't come to the table to talk
about a ceasefire and ending the war, and you're going
to start pressuring those that do business with Russia, like
(32:55):
the President already has with India for buying oil. Well,
guess who buys the most from Russia, China, And you're
trying to get a tariff deal with them, So this
extension becomes necessary. But that'll be problematic if they can't
get an agreement with Putin in ninety days. And I
suspect I'm not the only one that's figured this out.
Putin probably has as well. Meanwhile, the mayor of DC
(33:16):
is reacting to the president. The left is reacting to
what the President's doing in DC, which is why we
spend so much time talking about it with David Sanati.
It's certainly Congress's responsibility constitutionally to ultimately oversee this area,
but they're not doing it. The mayor is not doing it.
The Metro Police in DC is not doing it. So
(33:38):
the president's stepping in to do it. But if the
President has the sights on other cities that are in trouble,
that could get more problematic, and then this may be
the most underrated story of the day, that love is
overrated by an entire generation.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
A new dating survey by matchmaking service Talk of Fine
says forty six percent of gen Z which choose long
term financial stability over romance, and almost one in three
said they'd even take back an X if that X
got rich. The survey also found that one in ten
gen Z women say their ideal match should make two
hundred thousand dollars or more, and most won't settle for
(34:16):
less than eighty thousand dollars. Millennials, on the other hand,
have no problem with a broke and magical relationship, with
fifty nine percent choosing love over financial security.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
I'm Rob bart here. A lot of your talkbacks have
addressed a lot of the different things like reality TVs influence,
social media's influence. But I want to talk to the
parents of gen Zers. What have we missed. There's nobody
on their deathbed wanting to be surrounded by their money
(34:46):
or thinking about their money. At the end of the day,
all we have is what we did or didn't do
with the love of God, the love that we shared
with a spouse, and the amazing love we've shared with
our children, and the highest of all that perhaps we're
failing the love of others. What a tragic Only thing
left shocking in life is the truth reality. Let's hope
(35:08):
gen Z figures that out and in a hurry, that'll
do it for today.
Speaker 10 (35:12):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
