Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast today.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Trying to get Butch and Sunny out of space and
Chucky blinked and now the party is freaking. We'll have
more of that in our Sounds of the Day. Roy
O'Neil is joining us, our national correspondent. All right, all
hydraulics in check. Are we a go tonight for launch?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And the weather looks good too, so that's encouraging. SpaceX
is going to try again just after seven o'clock PM
Eastern time, so twelve hours from now we should be
watching this rocket climb into orbit, docking with the space
station tomorrow. They haven't said when Butch and Sunny might
try to get home. We're still watching on the weather.
When they do return, it will be aboard a dragon
(00:53):
capsule and they have to splash down either in the
Gulf of America or off the coast of Jacksonville on
the other side, and that's all going to depend on
seas so we haven't gotten that final timeline for a return.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
That's they do old fashioned splashdowns. I didn't know that.
I really didn't. Yeah, well there you go. I parachute.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Well they all have parachutes, but yeah, some they don't land,
like the Shuttle AD anymore. But Elon Musk's splashes down
the star Liner that they had been flying for the
test flight that would have parachuted into the desert there
at White Sands.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So this morning we have the what is it the
blood moon or whatever that's visible when when this when
this launch happens later.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Can you see that from your house? The launch?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I can, Yeah, just have to turn my head to
the I'd be off Michael little bit because I have
to look that way.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But yes, I can see it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Oh that's I have you know, I've never been for
I got to do that. That's got to be I mean,
I know it's not like the Apollo days or you know,
everybody shows up and you got your glasses up, but
I mean I haven't.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, you surprised.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I gotta do one. Well, you know, here's to a
successful launch. And getting butcher and sunny home.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
And I wouldn stay by the way, and to all
the listeners, if you ever are in the Orlando area
going to theme parks, go make the trip to the
Kennedy Space Center visitor complex. I don't get any money
by saying that, but it's an awesome spot and yeah,
it's not boring.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well a teen nature could be inspired by that. I
took a job in Washington, d C. At a talk
station in nineteen eighty eight. I think it was whatever
it was, and that's back when everything was pretty much
at the Air and Space Museum in DC. And I
strolled in there. I mean I never forgot I'm looking
at the Apollo capsule that splashed down after walking on
(02:38):
the Moon. I stood there for like an hour and
a half. I'm just staring at this thing. And they've
since split all that now. In fact, you can go
to Huntsville now and some of the best stuff is
in Huntsville and not so much in DC anymore. But
there is nothing like the Kennedy Space Center itself. And
right it's a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
The Udvar Hazy Center there for the space for the Smithsonian.
So they've sort of now had to divvy things up
in Washington. There's so much to deal with these days.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
One of the things that we meant to talk about it, youn't.
We're down to a minute this new study on how
Americans feel. This is on the economy, on tariffs, on
the war in Ukraine. I couldn't find any tabs on this,
so I don't know how to wait this thing. But
this would be a negative view of the things the
president's doing compared to well, virtually other than Quinnipiac, all
the other poles.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Well it is Quinnipiac this one.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
So this is the month to month survey, and that's
the We've talked about this a thousand times. You watch
the trend, don't necessarily pay attention to these numbers, but
because this is a month to month poll, you get
to see the direction things are going in, which is important.
This was done last week, before some of the turmoil
we've seen on Wall streetet. The President's numbers are down slightly,
but sort of within the margin of error, so not
(03:49):
really a big move.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I'd say.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Elon musk Is, I thought was a bit of a highlight.
Sixty percent disapprove of the way musk Is handling, doze
and downsize in the federal workforce. Fifty four percent actually
think he's hurting the country. You probably do you need
to go right the second. One minute, Okay, one minute.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I would say some of that is how they've done it,
and that they own that it should have been made clear.
This is you know, they're going to do this research,
they're going to make these recommendations, they're going to share
these findings, and then Congress and the President will coordinate
any actions.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And that's gotten a little ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That one I kind of get the other ones Ukraine,
I mean, those could shift. I kind of start looking
at these poles, like I'm reading just how the media
is selling things and if people are buying it more
than the reality of it, don't. I don't know what
to make of them when they're and Quinnipiac just stands
alone with such a contrasting view of all the other poles,
(04:47):
it's really tough to know what to make of it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, it's And they also do sort of questions of
the day, like one of them was how did Donald
Trump perform in the meeting with Zelensky in the Oval
office two weeks ago? So some of the can be
sort of flashpoint issues, others are bigger picture.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All right, there's another glimpse of the Quinnipiac looking different
than other poles, but still worthy of conversation. And Rory's
going to be back to talk a little bit about
a government shutdown that doesn't look possible at all anymore,
after Chucky Schumer has certainly blinked.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
All right, twelve minutes after the hour.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Can't have your morning show without your voice before we
transition to the COVID poll. I believe David and Tulsa
is first.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I've learned over the years that people will believe anything
they're told, and it's making me think this morning about
Proverbs twenty nine to nine. If a wise man contends
with a foolish man, whether the full rages or laughs,
there is no peace.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I think that describes politics in a nutshell. Yeah, And
I just sense that America's done with that. A majority
of America's done with that. I mean, I just I
feel like most Americans don't want kids still dying in
this war, and certainly don't want to march towards a
world war. So I would hope instinctively we're rooting for peace.
(05:59):
But you know the Ukraine thing that just kind of
plays through the matrix, and there are those that are
rooting against peace. Now it's got to be a lasting piece,
and that's been a struggle. But I think it's a
great sign that Putin is announced in principal degrees with
President Trump sees fireplant.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's great process.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
This is the tougher lift than even the Ukraine side,
even after that Oval Office meeting. So these are great
signs and there are some really sticky things in here
that have to be worked out. President addressed that in
the Oval Office yesterday and I'm going to share some
of that and sounds of the day.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There's a great step.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Towards peace, a piece that a lot of people didn't
think was possible, and it could end up being a
really good promise made, promise kept by Donald Trump. But
while that's going on, while we're avoiding government shutdown, you've
got leftist activists on campus at the Trump Tower, I mean,
(07:04):
crazies chanting for Hamas, going on private property. Wait, do
you hear Maxine Water and eoc in their rants? I
just don't know that that's where America is right now.
And there's great progress towards peace in a war both
in the Middle East and in Ukraine and Russia, there
(07:24):
will be no government shutdown. Of course, Chucky was in
a checkmate. He didn't have any choice. Sent a minority leader,
Chuck Minority leader Chuck Schumer said he's going to vote
to keep the government open, warning that a shutdown has
worse consequences for Americans and but only in power of
President Trump and Elon Musk. Further, Oh, Trump and Musk
are evil, waste, mismanagement, fraud. That's all fine, Trump and Musk,
(07:54):
they're the boogeyman. Well, the move is a major concession
because he was in check mate. Look, if you're going
to make Donald Trump and Elon Musk evil for cutting
waste and jobs, federal jobs and improving efficiency, you can't
have a government shutdown that costs ten times as many jobs.
(08:16):
And once they're temporarily unemployed, it's going to be harder
to get him backround the roles. Now, Chucky's way of
saying it is, I believe it's my job to make
the best choice for the country to minimize the harms
to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep
the government open, not shut down. I believe allowing Donald
Trump to take even more power via government shutdown is
(08:36):
a far worse option. We were saying that all week.
Were you going with this? How do you plan to
play this game? But you have one side finding common
ground solving problems, the other side protesting and playing identity
politics and demonization, And all I can tell you, and
(08:57):
I don't want to tell you how to think, but
all I can tell you is that strategy failed to
get them Kamala Harris in the White House. How is
that strategy now going to succeed in stopping Donald Trump
in the White House? And it's a pretty risky game
come midterms, which really have already started, let alone start
in full in about three months.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
All right to Akron Ohio, we go.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
They love the show and your comment about Whitecastle absolutely
made my day and I can't wait to get the Columbus.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It really was if you weren't listening in the Platinum ore.
So we go to the SEC tournament. We have a
great time. By the way, I'm so proud of my
iHeart family. Wayne from our country station WSIX was the
floor entertainer during timeouts battle was doing djaying I mean
by the way, that's not a small gig. When you're
(09:55):
leaving one session, you got to completely empty the arena
and then you got a thirty minute turnaround before the
night session starts, and so what you have is twenty
five thousand, thirty thousand whatever it was people leaving outside
and hanging around, and then you have the next thirty
thousand waiting to get in and battle was the DJ
for that Eraad oh Man? Is he a good DJ?
(10:17):
I mean the music in the way he was mixing it.
It was an art to watch. I'm very proud of
our family entertaining the world at the SEC tournament. And
I saw two games thanks to the seat geek mess
up instead of crummy games that I would have saw
on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yesterday, I saw a.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Three point buzzer beater Ole Miss winning as the clock expired,
literally and then I saw a double overtime with.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Texas and Texas A and I wow.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So we're starting to head home and I'm with my
friend Pete. He's like, I got to stop that white gas,
and I promise my family I bring home some burgers,
and I'm like, you know, I'm inspired by President Trump.
He's on the Bobby Kennedy died. Have you seen how
good the president's looking. He's looking like he's doing push
ups and saying chadding weight and looking great. And I'm
thinking I need to get a little Bobby Kennedy going.
(11:03):
And now this guy's dragging me to White Castle. So
we pull into White Castle and he's like, well, there's
nobody inside. Let's go inside, even though we're going to
get it to go. So we go in there and
Pete's like, gotta do the double cheeseburger. See I normally
do the four cheeseburger sliders. And so I got Bobby
Kennedy and the President on my mind. I'm thinking I'll
do that. It's less fun. Yeah, So I get the
(11:25):
double cheeseberg. It's just sound about the way White Castle does.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It with the onions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You know, it's just a beautiful thing and the text shuitons.
I mean, you almost don't need to chew. I am
thoroughly convinced you don't have to chew a white Castle.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
First of all, you do need to hull. You could
comb a white Castle.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean, you know, if you didn't have any teeth, you.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Could gum it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I I mean, I'm telling you you put a lozenge
in my mouth. I chew it immediately. You put a
white castle, I just kind of suck that thing until
it's soft.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
But anyway, your host does choking on white castle. Because
I order for me and Nick.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I offered to pay, but Pete was like, no, you
got everything else and buying for my family. Okay, So
Nick and I order, our food comes and there was
a little delay in taking next order or Pete's order,
and then Pete orders and we're waiting for pets to
be ready.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Do you know I downed all.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
My cheese fries and both double sliders before he got
his order.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
So as I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Walking, we were getting our white castle to go. But
as I'm leaving, I'm throwing mine in the garbage because
I've done over. It didn't even make it to the car,
that's how good it was.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
As I was get that smell in the car either. Well,
I guess everybody else there.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Let me tell you something. There's something about a white castle.
My first white castle experience, of course, was in the
Chicago Lands area as a child. Then I went to
the one in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But I will say this, our white castle in Nashville,
I think it may be one of the best white castles,
the one on Broadway and the car that's a good
white castle. When I pull in in the morning, it's
they're still wrapped around the white castle when I get
here in the morning. And you know they make a
breakfast slider too, to Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Final sec.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
I don't understand Hitler's trying to add wars.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, that's that tricky game of narratives.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
In reality, it's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
All right, all good news today.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country agrees in principle
with the President trump cease fire plan. That's the first
step towards an end of the war and lasting peace.
We should be celebrating that. So more good news. Looks
like we got things straightened out on the ground and
we're ready for a launch tonight in Florida as NASA
will try once again to go fetch but Chin Sonny
(14:36):
trapped at the space station. More good news. Senate Minority
Leader Chucky Schumer says he will vote to advance the
GOP six month funding bill. There will be no government shutdown.
All the narratives, all the scare it just never really
becomes reality, does it. And then Governor Hokle is going
to be meeting at the White House with the President
(14:57):

could be for all of us to see and not
behind closed stories.
Speaker 3 (15:02):

Now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Sometimes I have to check myself make sure I'm not
having a bad dream. Did I just see a couple
of Fox newsgirls and those same they have them in
every color tight dress, bouncing around on a trampoline, boxing.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Looking like the Rock'm Socking robots.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Did that really? Yes? Yes, well, they just there's no
end to what they will do.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country agrees in principle
to the cease fire plan. Chucky Schumer blinked there will
not be a government shut down. He will agree to
the six month GOP funding plan. Just can't stop winning.
Ken the President and Kathy Hokeel headed to the White
House today to visit with the President. That ought to
be a doozy and can't.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Have your morning show without your voice. Good morning, Blaine,
Morning Michael. Hey, don't pull a Mama cass on us.
You got a pretty good radio show. Yeah, and you do.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Let the listeners say say what's on their mind in
some cases, but don't do a Mama cast.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Whatever you do, shoot it anyway, have a good day,
have a good weekend. White Castle, please.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's really where That's really where this is going.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
But I'm gonna choke on a white cast. You can't
choke on a white Castle, Slider, Blaine. They melt in
your mouth. You can't choke on them. I don't think
you needed. Chewing is optional. Please, melts in your mouth,
not in your hands.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I mean I always picture people they get the you know,
white Castle burgers in the car and they're taking them home.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Who resists?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I mean, got can you make it all the way
home without eating one or two or three?
Speaker 10 (17:16):
I couldn't even make it out of white Castle to
the car I had finished.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
My problem is I don't choke bringing them all down.
We we list.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
They just picks making him.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You know, we always have these narratives every day, and
then I got to sit here and be, you know,
on the air with this nonsense, and the narratives always die,
and what do they die of? Reality? So all week
long it's gotta be a government shutdown. Donald Trump, he's
not solving the economy. I mean this terrif war.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
And look at them, look at walls, you're looking at everything.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yesterday, Chuckie Schumer is bragging I got the votes necessary
to block this budget and create a government. And I
just said, all I said was where are you going
with this? Are you bragging that you could create a
government shutdown? That's going to cost some work jobs? And
Elon Musk could ever target you're gonna start doing a
job for them? You can't make Elon must the devil
(18:23):
for removing waste, corruption and unproductive workers, and then create
a government shutdown that costs all workers their job and
it won't be easy to get them back. Somewhere along
the line. Chuckie came to his senses yesterday.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
Listen to have the conflict on the on the best
ground we have summed up in a sentence that they're
making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's much much better not to be in the middle of.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
A shutdown, which to divert people from the number one
issue we have against these bastards.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh, that's an abundance of the heart. The mouse speaks,
not your fellow colleagues, not the American people you're serving
seeing the Club of one hundred. It's not us versus them,
it's us against these bastards.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
Sorry, these people, which is not only all these cuts,
but they're ruining democracy.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
To have the conflict on the well, all Americas. Just
just throw them all out to start over. Well anyway,
make a long story short. By the way, where's the
rooster when you need him? I told you Chucky can't
play this out.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It's a parasite game. And if the parasite wins. Guess
what it kills the host. Guess what happens to the parasite.
It dies too.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
He was bluffing and he caved. That was my answer
to the narrative twenty four hours ago. That's all of
our reality today. So Chucky blinks and his party freaks
starting with AOC. You know, the minute they heard this
from Chucky at CNN, Tapper got on the phone, get
(20:02):
me Aoctat. I think they're in studio.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
I guess the Senate Democratic leader, your senator said at
this meeting that he is going to vote for cloture.
He is going to vote to allow there to be
a simple majority vote.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You think that's wrong.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
I believe that's a tremendous mistake.
Speaker 14 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (20:19):
I think well, first and foremost, the American people. If
anyone has held a town hall or has seen what
has been happening in town halls, American people, whether they
are Republicans, independence, Democrats, are up in arms about Elon
Musk and the actual gutting a federal agency.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Have you seen any tonal halls other than far left
town halls where people are up in arms?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Jeff, you've seen any outraged Americans over.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Doge other than aoc Chuckie Schumer maxing.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Ok he's across the board. This Continuing Resolution codifies much
of this chaos that Elon Musk is wreaking havoc on
the federal government. It codifies many of those changes, It
sacrifices and completely eliminates congressional authority in order to review.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I mean, this is such a slight game. Okay, So
they can't be obstructionists and they can't be opposing to
Donald Trump. So everything's pointed at Elon Musk. Where do
they think that's getting them? Never Mind the pole suggests
two thirds of the American people to eighty percent of
the American people are outraged at what he's finding, not
(21:29):
that he's finding it. How are they so out of
touch with the American people? I mean, does she really
believe that nonsense? You just heard that this codifies what
the American people are outraged over. Or do they live
in such a bubble that they really believe it?
Speaker 13 (21:45):
These impulsive Trump tariffs that he's switching on and off,
and on top of that, for folks who are concerned
about effectiveness and government, this Republican extreme spending bill removes
all the guard rails and all of the accountability measures
to ensure that money is being spent in the way
(22:06):
that Congress has directed for it to be spent.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh so you're against that, but you're also against Doge. Well,
here's more bad news for the Democrats. You remember this war.
That's well, first of all, what the President did in
the Oval Office with Ukraine, I mean, we'll never restore
our relations with Ukraine. Ukraine was the first come to
the table. I agree to the ceasefire. Our arm support
has resumed. Now the real top part getting putin on
(22:29):
board that seemed to happen yesterday, at least in principle,
and heading in that direction. Here's putin with a translator.
Of course, we agree.
Speaker 15 (22:42):
With the propositions to stop hostilities, but we proceed from
the fact that such ceasefire, but it should be such
that would lead to permanent peace and remove the initial
original causes of the crisis.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So the President addressed this too, also from the White House.
This is a great first step. Got to start with
the ceasefire. Then we've got to do the heavy lifting,
and there's some really tough things to overcome, but this
is a great start.
Speaker 14 (23:20):
It's not an easy process. But Phase one is the ceasefire.
A lot of the individual subjects have been discussed though,
you know, we've been discussing concepts of land because you
don't want to waste time with the ceasefire if it's
not going.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
To mean anything, So we say, look.
Speaker 14 (23:36):
This is what you can get, this is what you
can't get. They discussed NATO and being in NATO, and
everybody knows what the answer to that is. They've known
that answer for forty years in all fairness, so a
lot of the details of a final agreement have actually
been discussed. Now we're going to see whether or not
Russia is there, and if they're not, it'll be a
(23:58):
very disappointing moment for the world.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
Yeah, who just said he's open to a CSAR, but
he does still have some concerns.
Speaker 14 (24:04):
He suggests that you two should see directly that do
you have plans to speak to.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Him soon if Win is sure?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
He did say that today.
Speaker 14 (24:12):
It was a very promising statement because other people are
saying different things and you don't know if they have
anything to really, if they have any meaning or I
don't know. I think some of them were making statements.
I don't think they have anything to do with it. No,
he put out a very promising statement, but it wasn't complete.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
And yeah, I'd love to meet with them.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Or I'm a father of three with an audience in
seventy one market, so I love very much. I'm rooting
for peace, like the president. There are eighteen nineteen twenty
year olds caught in the middle of this, dying by
the thousands every day. I'd like to see their families
keep their children. I don't like the trajectory of this.
(24:55):
If it goes back, if it goes south, it could
lead towards a world war. I'd like to avoid that.
I think we need to find a cease fire immediately
and work out a framework for peace and yes lasting piece.
And if this president brokers that, this will be a
(25:16):
generational orchestration of peace that will be remembered in history
and probably result in a nobel peace price. I said
this analogy yesterday. I don't know what good it would
do for you to sit in the backseat of a
car and root against the driver, or sit on a
(25:41):
plane and root against the pilot. You're on it. But
that's all the Left has left. Here's a great exchange
with Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow that I think says
it all.
Speaker 17 (25:59):
I hope you noticed that I did not make that
same pledge when when you did.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, going anywhere are you? Well, here's the thing. This
is day fifty two. I thought it was day ninety two.
Speaker 17 (26:12):
It turns out it's day fifty two, Rachel. And I'm
exhausted at day fifty two. And so I I'm going
to take next week off. And I'm telling you that
now because I know you don't like it when I
just drift away and I don't just taking next week off,
and I think then I can come back and go
(26:32):
with you all the way to the eight hundred days.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And I can't. I just Rachel Maddow.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
In what was the Broadway show Hamilton? She looks just
like the guy what's his name? Lynn Manuel. I guess
this is their attempted humor. The problem is if a
treat falls in the forest, does it really make a sound?
(27:03):
This is my favorite sound of the day. This is
Maxine Waters. Remember when we last heard from Maccine, she
was afraid of what the Republicans had on her.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Now listen to.
Speaker 16 (27:11):
Her all about why is he doing this now? We
know he wants to be a dictator. We know he's
in love with Putin, We know he even loves Kim
down in North Korea. We know all of that. But
what does he do in gathering all of this power?
I think perhaps it is about gathering the power and
(27:32):
bringing us to our knees so that when he changes
America with his vision, that we will be begging for
crumblems basically, because that's all he will be offering. Now,
all of that worries me, But I'm going to tell
you what I'm worried about. We have great responsibilities continuing
(27:55):
to fight for democracy and to strengthen democracy, and to
take care of the least of these, not only black people,
we take care of everybody with our votes. I'm worried
that Trump is on the edge of creating a civil war.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
The only war is in your party. Can I just
say that I spend a lot of time in nursing
homes because of both of our moms. That's the kind
of conversations and rants you hear in nursing homes, but
not for members of Congress. But all of that messaging,
it's the same messaging that had them so out of
(28:34):
touch with the American people. They just lost in an election,
they're still doing soul of democracy, democracy at stake. Donald
Trump is a dictator. Putin Kim Jong und wannabe and
now we're all headed to civil war. Are you afraid yet?
Oh my gosh, this is awful.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Aspire stop it. Help.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Don't you ever let anybody take your power from God?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
No, No, it is by the motto keep come, come along.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They have no message. They have no message. Al they'll
get one, but they still don't have one. Anyway, there's
your Sounds of the day.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You can always email me at Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. Sherry Wrights, Good morning, Cass Elliott died of
a heart attack.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
The choking story is hurtful for the family. She didn't die.
I thought she died joking, but I always heard.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I'm not sure her family's listening, but I apologize if
they are. Randall Wrights, thanks for the great Dion interview
this morning. I lost my contact info. Can you share?
I don't have like Dion in my phone. Actually I
do haven't in my phone, but I don't know that
I would know who to share that with her.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I enjoy it, give it out.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
James writes over one hundred yesterday at Trump Tower arrested.
Why don't we ever hear who they are? How many students?
How many professional agitators? Who paid them? Who covered their expenses?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I don't know. In this administration, you may find that out.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
If you're just waking up our top story far and
away is Chucky blinked. And it looks as though we're
going to avoid a government shutdown and get a GOP
six month approval of a budget. Vladimir Putin's signals that
he is agreeing in principle with the ceasefire plan brought
forth by President Trump, and NAS is going to take
another shot at trying to get those stranded astronauts back home.
(30:34):
Butch and Sunny, we may have a launch tonight, all
conditions are ago. President Trump met with the Secretary General
of NATO yesterday. White House correspondent John Decker has the
latest on the future role of the US along with NATO. John,
a lot of the clips I saw, they look very friendly.
Speaker 18 (30:55):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
Well. President Trump and the Secretary General of na have
known each other for quite some time. The Secretary General
of NATO is the former Dutch Prime Minister, and they
got along very well in the President's first term in office,
and you could tell from the body language that they
get along well once again. Long meetings at the White
(31:16):
House yesterday, not only between the President and Mark Ruda,
but also between the President's team and the Secretary General's
team about the way forward for NATO and what the
responsibilities for other NATO Defense Alliance members will be during
the course of President Trump's time in office.
Speaker 18 (31:37):
He wants to see those members increase their commitment to
defense spending.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Right now, not every NATO member contributes the amount that
the President would like to see at least two percent
of GDP. The US contributes three point four percent of GDP, and.
Speaker 18 (31:56):
The President has spoken about getting that number.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Although up to.
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Five percent of GDP during his time in office.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
All Right, so that's a big conversation. That's been really
the better part of eight years with Donald Trump. What
about the heavy lifting, You know, it was very encouraging.
I don't know, call me crazy. I like to avoid
World War I would like to see soldiers stop dying.
But you know, I'm with Ukraine. They need to have
peace and lasting peace. That was a good step yesterday
(32:23):
with Vladimir Putin, but a lot of the heavy lifting
and the really tough stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
How much of that you think came up yesterday.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Well, if you read the statement that Vladimir Putin put out,
I wouldn't be optimistic. This guy is no desire to
end that war, you know, agreeing in principle. His idea
of agreeing in principle is, yeah, I want to have
twenty five percent of Ukraine and then I agree in
principle to a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
That's not going to happen.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
It's pie in the sky. This guy has no desire
to end this war. The war's continuing, and it's continuing
because of Russia. So don't buy into agreeing in principle
that bs that he put out there, that statement, that
doesn't mean anything as.
Speaker 18 (33:02):
It relates to what comes next. As President Trump has said,
it takes two to tango, and.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
What he's referring to is Ukraine has already committed, they've
agreed to the US proposal for a thirty day seas fire.
Russia has not, and Secretary of State Mark or Rubio,
he too, has said the balls in Russia's court, and
we see how Russia responded to that meeting that he
had yesterday with the President's.
Speaker 18 (33:25):
Special Envoy, Steve Woo.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
I wish I was as optimistic as you are.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld, Joano
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast today.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Trying to get Butch and Sunny out of space and
Chucky blinked and now the party is freaking. We'll have
more of that in our Sounds of the Day. Roy
O'Neil is joining us, our national correspondent. All right, all
hydraulics in check. Are we a go tonight for launch?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And the weather looks good too, so that's encouraging. SpaceX
is going to try again just after seven o'clock PM
Eastern time, so twelve hours from now we should be
watching this rocket climb into orbit, docking with the space
station tomorrow. They haven't said when Butch and Sunny might
try to get home. We're still watching on the weather.
When they do return, it will be aboard a dragon
(00:53):
capsule and they have to splash down either in the
Gulf of America or off the coast of Jacksonville on
the other side, and that's all going to depend on
seas so we haven't gotten that final timeline for a return.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
That's they do old fashioned splashdowns. I didn't know that.
I really didn't. Yeah, well there you go. I parachute.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Well they all have parachutes, but yeah, some they don't land,
like the Shuttle AD anymore. But Elon Musk's splashes down
the star Liner that they had been flying for the
test flight that would have parachuted into the desert there
at White Sands.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So this morning we have the what is it the
blood moon or whatever that's visible when when this when
this launch happens later.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Can you see that from your house? The launch?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I can, Yeah, just have to turn my head to
the I'd be off Michael little bit because I have
to look that way.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But yes, I can see it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Oh that's I have you know, I've never been for
I got to do that. That's got to be I mean,
I know it's not like the Apollo days or you know,
everybody shows up and you got your glasses up, but
I mean I haven't.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, you surprised.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I gotta do one. Well, you know, here's to a
successful launch. And getting butcher and sunny home.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
And I wouldn stay by the way, and to all
the listeners, if you ever are in the Orlando area
going to theme parks, go make the trip to the
Kennedy Space Center visitor complex. I don't get any money
by saying that, but it's an awesome spot and yeah,
it's not boring.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well a teen nature could be inspired by that. I
took a job in Washington, d C. At a talk
station in nineteen eighty eight. I think it was whatever
it was, and that's back when everything was pretty much
at the Air and Space Museum in DC. And I
strolled in there. I mean I never forgot I'm looking
at the Apollo capsule that splashed down after walking on
(02:38):
the Moon. I stood there for like an hour and
a half. I'm just staring at this thing. And they've
since split all that now. In fact, you can go
to Huntsville now and some of the best stuff is
in Huntsville and not so much in DC anymore. But
there is nothing like the Kennedy Space Center itself. And
right it's a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
The Udvar Hazy Center there for the space for the Smithsonian.
So they've sort of now had to divvy things up
in Washington. There's so much to deal with these days.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
One of the things that we meant to talk about it, youn't.
We're down to a minute this new study on how
Americans feel. This is on the economy, on tariffs, on
the war in Ukraine. I couldn't find any tabs on this,
so I don't know how to wait this thing. But
this would be a negative view of the things the
president's doing compared to well, virtually other than Quinnipiac, all
the other poles.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Well it is Quinnipiac this one.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
So this is the month to month survey, and that's
the We've talked about this a thousand times. You watch
the trend, don't necessarily pay attention to these numbers, but
because this is a month to month poll, you get
to see the direction things are going in, which is important.
This was done last week, before some of the turmoil
we've seen on Wall streetet. The President's numbers are down slightly,
but sort of within the margin of error, so not
(03:49):
really a big move.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I'd say.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Elon musk Is, I thought was a bit of a highlight.
Sixty percent disapprove of the way musk Is handling, doze
and downsize in the federal workforce. Fifty four percent actually
think he's hurting the country. You probably do you need
to go right the second. One minute, Okay, one minute.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I would say some of that is how they've done it,
and that they own that it should have been made clear.
This is you know, they're going to do this research,
they're going to make these recommendations, they're going to share
these findings, and then Congress and the President will coordinate
any actions.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And that's gotten a little ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That one I kind of get the other ones Ukraine,
I mean, those could shift. I kind of start looking
at these poles, like I'm reading just how the media
is selling things and if people are buying it more
than the reality of it, don't. I don't know what
to make of them when they're and Quinnipiac just stands
alone with such a contrasting view of all the other poles,
(04:47):
it's really tough to know what to make of it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, it's And they also do sort of questions of
the day, like one of them was how did Donald
Trump perform in the meeting with Zelensky in the Oval
office two weeks ago? So some of the can be
sort of flashpoint issues, others are bigger picture.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All right, there's another glimpse of the Quinnipiac looking different
than other poles, but still worthy of conversation. And Rory's
going to be back to talk a little bit about
a government shutdown that doesn't look possible at all anymore,
after Chucky Schumer has certainly blinked.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
All right, twelve minutes after the hour.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Can't have your morning show without your voice before we
transition to the COVID poll. I believe David and Tulsa
is first.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I've learned over the years that people will believe anything
they're told, and it's making me think this morning about
Proverbs twenty nine to nine. If a wise man contends
with a foolish man, whether the full rages or laughs,
there is no peace.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I think that describes politics in a nutshell. Yeah, And
I just sense that America's done with that. A majority
of America's done with that. I mean, I just I
feel like most Americans don't want kids still dying in
this war, and certainly don't want to march towards a
world war. So I would hope instinctively we're rooting for peace.
(05:59):
But you know the Ukraine thing that just kind of
plays through the matrix, and there are those that are
rooting against peace. Now it's got to be a lasting piece,
and that's been a struggle. But I think it's a
great sign that Putin is announced in principal degrees with
President Trump sees fireplant.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's great process.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
This is the tougher lift than even the Ukraine side,
even after that Oval Office meeting. So these are great
signs and there are some really sticky things in here
that have to be worked out. President addressed that in
the Oval Office yesterday and I'm going to share some
of that and sounds of the day.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There's a great step.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Towards peace, a piece that a lot of people didn't
think was possible, and it could end up being a
really good promise made, promise kept by Donald Trump. But
while that's going on, while we're avoiding government shutdown, you've
got leftist activists on campus at the Trump Tower, I mean,
(07:04):
crazies chanting for Hamas, going on private property. Wait, do
you hear Maxine Water and eoc in their rants? I
just don't know that that's where America is right now.
And there's great progress towards peace in a war both
in the Middle East and in Ukraine and Russia, there
(07:24):
will be no government shutdown. Of course, Chucky was in
a checkmate. He didn't have any choice. Sent a minority leader,
Chuck Minority leader Chuck Schumer said he's going to vote
to keep the government open, warning that a shutdown has
worse consequences for Americans and but only in power of
President Trump and Elon Musk. Further, Oh, Trump and Musk
are evil, waste, mismanagement, fraud. That's all fine, Trump and Musk,
(07:54):
they're the boogeyman. Well, the move is a major concession
because he was in check mate. Look, if you're going
to make Donald Trump and Elon Musk evil for cutting
waste and jobs, federal jobs and improving efficiency, you can't
have a government shutdown that costs ten times as many jobs.
(08:16):
And once they're temporarily unemployed, it's going to be harder
to get him backround the roles. Now, Chucky's way of
saying it is, I believe it's my job to make
the best choice for the country to minimize the harms
to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep
the government open, not shut down. I believe allowing Donald
Trump to take even more power via government shutdown is
(08:36):
a far worse option. We were saying that all week.
Were you going with this? How do you plan to
play this game? But you have one side finding common
ground solving problems, the other side protesting and playing identity
politics and demonization, And all I can tell you, and
(08:57):
I don't want to tell you how to think, but
all I can tell you is that strategy failed to
get them Kamala Harris in the White House. How is
that strategy now going to succeed in stopping Donald Trump
in the White House? And it's a pretty risky game
come midterms, which really have already started, let alone start
in full in about three months.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
All right to Akron Ohio, we go.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
They love the show and your comment about Whitecastle absolutely
made my day and I can't wait to get the Columbus.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It really was if you weren't listening in the Platinum ore.
So we go to the SEC tournament. We have a
great time. By the way, I'm so proud of my
iHeart family. Wayne from our country station WSIX was the
floor entertainer during timeouts battle was doing djaying I mean
by the way, that's not a small gig. When you're
(09:55):
leaving one session, you got to completely empty the arena
and then you got a thirty minute turnaround before the
night session starts, and so what you have is twenty
five thousand, thirty thousand whatever it was people leaving outside
and hanging around, and then you have the next thirty
thousand waiting to get in and battle was the DJ
for that Eraad oh Man? Is he a good DJ?
(10:17):
I mean the music in the way he was mixing it.
It was an art to watch. I'm very proud of
our family entertaining the world at the SEC tournament. And
I saw two games thanks to the seat geek mess
up instead of crummy games that I would have saw
on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yesterday, I saw a.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Three point buzzer beater Ole Miss winning as the clock expired,
literally and then I saw a double overtime with.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Texas and Texas A and I wow.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So we're starting to head home and I'm with my
friend Pete. He's like, I got to stop that white gas,
and I promise my family I bring home some burgers,
and I'm like, you know, I'm inspired by President Trump.
He's on the Bobby Kennedy died. Have you seen how
good the president's looking. He's looking like he's doing push
ups and saying chadding weight and looking great. And I'm
thinking I need to get a little Bobby Kennedy going.
(11:03):
And now this guy's dragging me to White Castle. So
we pull into White Castle and he's like, well, there's
nobody inside. Let's go inside, even though we're going to
get it to go. So we go in there and
Pete's like, gotta do the double cheeseburger. See I normally
do the four cheeseburger sliders. And so I got Bobby
Kennedy and the President on my mind. I'm thinking I'll
do that. It's less fun. Yeah, So I get the
(11:25):
double cheeseberg. It's just sound about the way White Castle does.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It with the onions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You know, it's just a beautiful thing and the text shuitons.
I mean, you almost don't need to chew. I am
thoroughly convinced you don't have to chew a white Castle.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
First of all, you do need to hull. You could
comb a white Castle.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean, you know, if you didn't have any teeth, you.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Could gum it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I I mean, I'm telling you you put a lozenge
in my mouth. I chew it immediately. You put a
white castle, I just kind of suck that thing until
it's soft.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
But anyway, your host does choking on white castle. Because
I order for me and Nick.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I offered to pay, but Pete was like, no, you
got everything else and buying for my family. Okay, So
Nick and I order, our food comes and there was
a little delay in taking next order or Pete's order,
and then Pete orders and we're waiting for pets to
be ready.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Do you know I downed all.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
My cheese fries and both double sliders before he got
his order.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
So as I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Walking, we were getting our white castle to go. But
as I'm leaving, I'm throwing mine in the garbage because
I've done over. It didn't even make it to the car,
that's how good it was.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
As I was get that smell in the car either. Well,
I guess everybody else there.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Let me tell you something. There's something about a white castle.
My first white castle experience, of course, was in the
Chicago Lands area as a child. Then I went to
the one in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
But I will say this, our white castle in Nashville,
I think it may be one of the best white castles,
the one on Broadway and the car that's a good
white castle. When I pull in in the morning, it's
they're still wrapped around the white castle when I get
here in the morning. And you know they make a
breakfast slider too, to Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Final sec.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
I don't understand Hitler's trying to add wars.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, that's that tricky game of narratives.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
In reality, it's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You don't forget the podcast if you missed any of
the show. This morning, we had a long conversation with
Dion Demuchi from Dion the Belmont's Abraham Martin and John
to his contemporary Christian career, a rock and Roll Hall
of Famer out with a new book called The Rock
and Roll Philosopher. We also talked earlier this week with
aj Croche, son of Jim Crochy.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Can you do me a favorite?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
After you load all the podcasts today, put both those
interviews in their entirety, uninterrupted at the very top. I
can do that that way people can catch up on
those if they missed them. And then, of course every
hour the show is available on in the podcast section
of your iHeartRadio app to search your morning show or
Michael del Jorno. And by the way, when it pops up,
hit subscribe, maybe even get a preset. That way you
(13:59):
have access to it every day. You never I mean,
we love when you're with us live, but if you're
going to miss us live, you don't have to miss
it forever everywhere you are when you need us on
demand in the podcast section your morning show.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
All right, all good news today.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country agrees in principle
with the President trump cease fire plan. That's the first
step towards an end of the war and lasting peace.
We should be celebrating that. So more good news. Looks
like we got things straightened out on the ground and
we're ready for a launch tonight in Florida as NASA
will try once again to go fetch but Chin Sonny
(14:36):
trapped at the space station. More good news. Senate Minority
Leader Chucky Schumer says he will vote to advance the
GOP six month funding bill. There will be no government shutdown.
All the narratives, all the scare it just never really
becomes reality, does it. And then Governor Hokle is going
to be meeting at the White House with the President
(14:57):
this morning. Dear Heavenly Father, if there's any way that
could be for all of us to see and not
behind closed stories.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I promise I won't watch any basketball. Amen.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Amen, Amen, And that's your top stories when we come back.
I always say this, always revealing, often entertained. Today is
revealing and entertaining. Don't miss your sounds of the day.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Sometimes I have to check myself make sure I'm not
having a bad dream. Did I just see a couple
of Fox newsgirls and those same they have them in
every color tight dress, bouncing around on a trampoline, boxing.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Looking like the Rock'm Socking robots.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Did that really? Yes? Yes, well, they just there's no
end to what they will do.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country agrees in principle
to the cease fire plan. Chucky Schumer blinked there will
not be a government shut down. He will agree to
the six month GOP funding plan. Just can't stop winning.
Ken the President and Kathy Hokeel headed to the White
House today to visit with the President. That ought to
be a doozy and can't.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Have your morning show without your voice. Good morning, Blaine,
Morning Michael. Hey, don't pull a Mama cass on us.
You got a pretty good radio show. Yeah, and you do.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Let the listeners say say what's on their mind in
some cases, but don't do a Mama cast.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Whatever you do, shoot it anyway, have a good day,
have a good weekend. White Castle, please.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's really where That's really where this is going.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
But I'm gonna choke on a white cast. You can't
choke on a white Castle, Slider, Blaine. They melt in
your mouth. You can't choke on them. I don't think
you needed. Chewing is optional. Please, melts in your mouth,
not in your hands.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I mean I always picture people they get the you know,
white Castle burgers in the car and they're taking them home.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Who resists?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I mean, got can you make it all the way
home without eating one or two or three?
Speaker 10 (17:16):
I couldn't even make it out of white Castle to
the car I had finished.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
My problem is I don't choke bringing them all down.
We we list.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
They just picks making him.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You know, we always have these narratives every day, and
then I got to sit here and be, you know,
on the air with this nonsense, and the narratives always die,
and what do they die of? Reality? So all week
long it's gotta be a government shutdown. Donald Trump, he's
not solving the economy. I mean this terrif war.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
And look at them, look at walls, you're looking at everything.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yesterday, Chuckie Schumer is bragging I got the votes necessary
to block this budget and create a government. And I
just said, all I said was where are you going
with this? Are you bragging that you could create a
government shutdown? That's going to cost some work jobs? And
Elon Musk could ever target you're gonna start doing a
job for them? You can't make Elon must the devil
(18:23):
for removing waste, corruption and unproductive workers, and then create
a government shutdown that costs all workers their job and
it won't be easy to get them back. Somewhere along
the line. Chuckie came to his senses yesterday.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
Listen to have the conflict on the on the best
ground we have summed up in a sentence that they're
making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's much much better not to be in the middle of.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
A shutdown, which to divert people from the number one
issue we have against these bastards.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh, that's an abundance of the heart. The mouse speaks,
not your fellow colleagues, not the American people you're serving
seeing the Club of one hundred. It's not us versus them,
it's us against these bastards.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
Sorry, these people, which is not only all these cuts,
but they're ruining democracy.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
To have the conflict on the well, all Americas. Just
just throw them all out to start over. Well anyway,
make a long story short. By the way, where's the
rooster when you need him? I told you Chucky can't
play this out.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It's a parasite game. And if the parasite wins. Guess
what it kills the host. Guess what happens to the parasite.
It dies too.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
He was bluffing and he caved. That was my answer
to the narrative twenty four hours ago. That's all of
our reality today. So Chucky blinks and his party freaks
starting with AOC. You know, the minute they heard this
from Chucky at CNN, Tapper got on the phone, get
(20:02):
me Aoctat. I think they're in studio.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
I guess the Senate Democratic leader, your senator said at
this meeting that he is going to vote for cloture.
He is going to vote to allow there to be
a simple majority vote.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You think that's wrong.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
I believe that's a tremendous mistake.
Speaker 14 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (20:19):
I think well, first and foremost, the American people. If
anyone has held a town hall or has seen what
has been happening in town halls, American people, whether they
are Republicans, independence, Democrats, are up in arms about Elon
Musk and the actual gutting a federal agency.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Have you seen any tonal halls other than far left
town halls where people are up in arms?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Jeff, you've seen any outraged Americans over.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Doge other than aoc Chuckie Schumer maxing.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Ok he's across the board. This Continuing Resolution codifies much
of this chaos that Elon Musk is wreaking havoc on
the federal government. It codifies many of those changes, It
sacrifices and completely eliminates congressional authority in order to review.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I mean, this is such a slight game. Okay, So
they can't be obstructionists and they can't be opposing to
Donald Trump. So everything's pointed at Elon Musk. Where do
they think that's getting them? Never Mind the pole suggests
two thirds of the American people to eighty percent of
the American people are outraged at what he's finding, not
(21:29):
that he's finding it. How are they so out of
touch with the American people? I mean, does she really
believe that nonsense? You just heard that this codifies what
the American people are outraged over. Or do they live
in such a bubble that they really believe it?
Speaker 13 (21:45):
These impulsive Trump tariffs that he's switching on and off,
and on top of that, for folks who are concerned
about effectiveness and government, this Republican extreme spending bill removes
all the guard rails and all of the accountability measures
to ensure that money is being spent in the way
(22:06):
that Congress has directed for it to be spent.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh so you're against that, but you're also against Doge. Well,
here's more bad news for the Democrats. You remember this war.
That's well, first of all, what the President did in
the Oval Office with Ukraine, I mean, we'll never restore
our relations with Ukraine. Ukraine was the first come to
the table. I agree to the ceasefire. Our arm support
has resumed. Now the real top part getting putin on
(22:29):
board that seemed to happen yesterday, at least in principle,
and heading in that direction. Here's putin with a translator.
Of course, we agree.
Speaker 15 (22:42):
With the propositions to stop hostilities, but we proceed from
the fact that such ceasefire, but it should be such
that would lead to permanent peace and remove the initial
original causes of the crisis.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So the President addressed this too, also from the White House.
This is a great first step. Got to start with
the ceasefire. Then we've got to do the heavy lifting,
and there's some really tough things to overcome, but this
is a great start.
Speaker 14 (23:20):
It's not an easy process. But Phase one is the ceasefire.
A lot of the individual subjects have been discussed though,
you know, we've been discussing concepts of land because you
don't want to waste time with the ceasefire if it's
not going.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
To mean anything, So we say, look.
Speaker 14 (23:36):
This is what you can get, this is what you
can't get. They discussed NATO and being in NATO, and
everybody knows what the answer to that is. They've known
that answer for forty years in all fairness, so a
lot of the details of a final agreement have actually
been discussed. Now we're going to see whether or not
Russia is there, and if they're not, it'll be a
(23:58):
very disappointing moment for the world.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
Yeah, who just said he's open to a CSAR, but
he does still have some concerns.
Speaker 14 (24:04):
He suggests that you two should see directly that do
you have plans to speak to.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Him soon if Win is sure?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
He did say that today.
Speaker 14 (24:12):
It was a very promising statement because other people are
saying different things and you don't know if they have
anything to really, if they have any meaning or I
don't know. I think some of them were making statements.
I don't think they have anything to do with it. No,
he put out a very promising statement, but it wasn't complete.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
And yeah, I'd love to meet with them.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Or I'm a father of three with an audience in
seventy one market, so I love very much. I'm rooting
for peace, like the president. There are eighteen nineteen twenty
year olds caught in the middle of this, dying by
the thousands every day. I'd like to see their families
keep their children. I don't like the trajectory of this.
(24:55):
If it goes back, if it goes south, it could
lead towards a world war. I'd like to avoid that.
I think we need to find a cease fire immediately
and work out a framework for peace and yes lasting piece.
And if this president brokers that, this will be a
(25:16):
generational orchestration of peace that will be remembered in history
and probably result in a nobel peace price. I said
this analogy yesterday. I don't know what good it would
do for you to sit in the backseat of a
car and root against the driver, or sit on a
(25:41):
plane and root against the pilot. You're on it. But
that's all the Left has left. Here's a great exchange
with Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow that I think says
it all.
Speaker 17 (25:59):
I hope you noticed that I did not make that
same pledge when when you did.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, going anywhere are you? Well, here's the thing. This
is day fifty two. I thought it was day ninety two.
Speaker 17 (26:12):
It turns out it's day fifty two, Rachel. And I'm
exhausted at day fifty two. And so I I'm going
to take next week off. And I'm telling you that
now because I know you don't like it when I
just drift away and I don't just taking next week off,
and I think then I can come back and go
(26:32):
with you all the way to the eight hundred days.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And I can't. I just Rachel Maddow.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
In what was the Broadway show Hamilton? She looks just
like the guy what's his name? Lynn Manuel. I guess
this is their attempted humor. The problem is if a
treat falls in the forest, does it really make a sound?
(27:03):
This is my favorite sound of the day. This is
Maxine Waters. Remember when we last heard from Maccine, she
was afraid of what the Republicans had on her.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Now listen to.
Speaker 16 (27:11):
Her all about why is he doing this now? We
know he wants to be a dictator. We know he's
in love with Putin, We know he even loves Kim
down in North Korea. We know all of that. But
what does he do in gathering all of this power?
I think perhaps it is about gathering the power and
(27:32):
bringing us to our knees so that when he changes
America with his vision, that we will be begging for
crumblems basically, because that's all he will be offering. Now,
all of that worries me, But I'm going to tell
you what I'm worried about. We have great responsibilities continuing
(27:55):
to fight for democracy and to strengthen democracy, and to
take care of the least of these, not only black people,
we take care of everybody with our votes. I'm worried
that Trump is on the edge of creating a civil war.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
The only war is in your party. Can I just
say that I spend a lot of time in nursing
homes because of both of our moms. That's the kind
of conversations and rants you hear in nursing homes, but
not for members of Congress. But all of that messaging,
it's the same messaging that had them so out of
(28:34):
touch with the American people. They just lost in an election,
they're still doing soul of democracy, democracy at stake. Donald
Trump is a dictator. Putin Kim Jong und wannabe and
now we're all headed to civil war. Are you afraid yet?
Oh my gosh, this is awful.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Aspire stop it. Help.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Don't you ever let anybody take your power from God?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
No, No, it is by the motto keep come, come along.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They have no message. They have no message. Al they'll
get one, but they still don't have one. Anyway, there's
your Sounds of the day.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
You can always email me at Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. Sherry Wrights, Good morning, Cass Elliott died of
a heart attack.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
The choking story is hurtful for the family. She didn't die.
I thought she died joking, but I always heard.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I'm not sure her family's listening, but I apologize if
they are. Randall Wrights, thanks for the great Dion interview
this morning. I lost my contact info. Can you share?
I don't have like Dion in my phone. Actually I
do haven't in my phone, but I don't know that
I would know who to share that with her.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I enjoy it, give it out.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
James writes over one hundred yesterday at Trump Tower arrested.
Why don't we ever hear who they are? How many students?
How many professional agitators? Who paid them? Who covered their expenses?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I don't know. In this administration, you may find that out.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
If you're just waking up our top story far and
away is Chucky blinked. And it looks as though we're
going to avoid a government shutdown and get a GOP
six month approval of a budget. Vladimir Putin's signals that
he is agreeing in principle with the ceasefire plan brought
forth by President Trump, and NAS is going to take
another shot at trying to get those stranded astronauts back home.
(30:34):
Butch and Sunny, we may have a launch tonight, all
conditions are ago. President Trump met with the Secretary General
of NATO yesterday. White House correspondent John Decker has the
latest on the future role of the US along with NATO. John,
a lot of the clips I saw, they look very friendly.
Speaker 18 (30:55):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
Well. President Trump and the Secretary General of na have
known each other for quite some time. The Secretary General
of NATO is the former Dutch Prime Minister, and they
got along very well in the President's first term in office,
and you could tell from the body language that they
get along well once again. Long meetings at the White
(31:16):
House yesterday, not only between the President and Mark Ruda,
but also between the President's team and the Secretary General's
team about the way forward for NATO and what the
responsibilities for other NATO Defense Alliance members will be during
the course of President Trump's time in office.
Speaker 18 (31:37):
He wants to see those members increase their commitment to
defense spending.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Right now, not every NATO member contributes the amount that
the President would like to see at least two percent
of GDP. The US contributes three point four percent of GDP, and.
Speaker 18 (31:56):
The President has spoken about getting that number.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Although up to.
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Five percent of GDP during his time in office.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
All Right, so that's a big conversation. That's been really
the better part of eight years with Donald Trump. What
about the heavy lifting, You know, it was very encouraging.
I don't know, call me crazy. I like to avoid
World War I would like to see soldiers stop dying.
But you know, I'm with Ukraine. They need to have
peace and lasting peace. That was a good step yesterday
(32:23):
with Vladimir Putin, but a lot of the heavy lifting
and the really tough stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
How much of that you think came up yesterday.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Well, if you read the statement that Vladimir Putin put out,
I wouldn't be optimistic. This guy is no desire to
end that war, you know, agreeing in principle. His idea
of agreeing in principle is, yeah, I want to have
twenty five percent of Ukraine and then I agree in
principle to a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
That's not going to happen.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
It's pie in the sky. This guy has no desire
to end this war. The war's continuing, and it's continuing
because of Russia. So don't buy into agreeing in principle
that bs that he put out there, that statement, that
doesn't mean anything as.
Speaker 18 (33:02):
It relates to what comes next. As President Trump has said,
it takes two to tango, and.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
What he's referring to is Ukraine has already committed, they've
agreed to the US proposal for a thirty day seas fire.
Russia has not, and Secretary of State Mark or Rubio,
he too, has said the balls in Russia's court, and
we see how Russia responded to that meeting that he
had yesterday with the President's.
Speaker 18 (33:25):
Special Envoy, Steve Woo.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
I wish I was as optimistic as you are.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
