Jeffrey and I just broke out into an up-with-people medley, put your hand in the hand.

Seven minutes after the hour, welcome to Friday, April the 24th, the Eval Nord, 2026, on the air and streaming live on your iHeart radio app. This is the show that belongs to you, your morning show. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the sound. Red's keeping an eye on the content. Of course, Friday is always Friday with 47. Our next guest needs no introduction, yet it never stops our listeners from introducing him. Hello, Michael. This is Michael from Lebanon, Ohio. It's Friday with 47 and Pizza Boy. Hail to the cheap. He's the one we all say hail too. He has the power because he takes a shower. Mr. President, I can't believe it's Friday already. Good morning. Well, I have to say good morning to you. You're a great guy. A lot of people don't realize that, but also a lot of people do realize that now. We say you're a great guy, but if you start your antics, you know what happens, right? We don't want to see that. We'll blow a hole right in your engine room, just like the antics. You know the antics. We'll do what we did to the Iranian ships and we'll blow all right through the engine room. We don't want to have to do that. But the Friday ratings are great. And we all know why. Okay. How we do it? I'm not going to rock, but it is. I think you're doing very good. I think you're doing very good. It is a conversation. You know, like when I get caught up and it, don't take out my bow. All right, big story of the week, Tucker Carlson. formally apologizes for any role he may have played in getting you elected in that long apology where he expresses it'll torment him the rest of his life. He never gives a real reason why. How important was Tucker Carlson to your election and how sad are you to hear him apologize? Well, I'd like to formally apologize for whoever it is who put that piece of roadkill, otherwise known as. Tucker Carlson's toupee on top of his head. It's one of the worst bits of hair I've ever seen. It looks like you hit a raccoon in the middle of the road and it's dead and sprawling all over the place. It's really bad. You know, and so I want to formally apologize for whoever the hell it is who put his hair together because they did a horrible job and he's doing a horrible job. It's not a record. He claims that he claims that Buckley, excuse me, these are the antics that I was talking about. We don't want to do it. Fire and will, we're going to say in a very, very short period of time. You don't want to do that. They say to me, I said, fire and will. They said to me, sir, who's will? I said, I've known him very well. I've known him for a long time, but we're going to take them out. You call him Bill. I call him Bill. You don't have to do that. You shouldn't do that. You should probably leave that to the pros. You should probably leave that to the pros. So I have to say,

Tucker Carlson ought to be ashamed of himself. Buckley never wrote a speech. I read all my speech. He should be ashamed. Both of them should be ashamed. And what kind of stupid name is Buckley for a person? I have to say that too. Very dumb. He should be ashamed to that. But what will torment me is when I used to watch fake news, Fox News, remember, and I used to watch Tucker Carlson a lot. that's going to torment me. I was the reason why he got ratings and now he's not getting any ratings. He's doing very badly. Well, it was a very hubris statement that he assumes he had any impact. I read all the comments like of the clips online and no one's buying it. In fact, he's not a threat to you. He's really a threat to his own credibility. So I think that one will take care of itself. We had Earth Day this week. You know what? I can't think of a better way to celebrate Earth. Earth Day than after Artemis 2, which got us all focused on Earth and the gift of Earth. How did you celebrate Earth Day? Well, I got along very well with Artemis too. I get along very well with Earth. Oh, you know Earth. This is a tremendous planet. I know Earth very well. I know Artemis very well. The Greek goddess, tremendous person. But the astronauts did a great job. You know, they flew around the backside of the moon. And I said to them, welcome home. Your next assignment is to fly around the backside of Rosio and Donald, otherwise known as Uranus. That's a horrible place. That's a dangerous mission. It's a gas giant. It's a gas giant. You don't want to deal with that. But I get along very well with Earth. I get along very well with the mood. I also get along very well. You may have heard of them. Saturn, the planet. Oh. I built the rings. I built those big, beautiful rings. Like nobody's ever seen, I built them with my own two hands. Those are called the Trump rings. And they're very nice. But I get along well with all the planets, really. And what happened to Pluto, it's horrible. Pluto said, they said to me, sure, Pluto's not a planet. I said, we're going to make it a planet. So Pluto's a great planet. So I get along well with the entire solar system, the asteroid belt. It's a great belt, the beautiful belt. But the Kuiper belt, we love the Kuiper belt. I think you actually want me to interrupt now. I get along with all the planets. And Earth's Day was a great day. We did a tremendous show. All right, Friday with 47. Big vote of... gerrymandering in Virginia. Your thoughts on gerrymandering? I think this is headed the state Supreme Court and ultimately the Supreme Court. But gerrymandering seems to be fine when someone's doing it for their side. It's never fine when the other side's doing it to them. Isn't it always wrong? Jerry mandering? Well, I knew Jerry very well, and he liked to mander around. Jerry, he's a great person. I get along very well with Jerry. He's a mandering. He's a mandera. He manders like nobody's ever mandered before. They said to me, sir, what is Jerry doing? He's mandering, sir, gerrymandering. But now you look at the new maps in Virginia. For the first time, in a very long time, a judge did something right. Look at that. He blocked it. He said it's unconstitutional. You can't do that. He said you can't do that. And it's going to go to the state Supreme Court. It's going to go to the Supreme Court of the United States where we have a few justices. You don't know what the hell they're doing.

Thank you. There you have it. Friday with 47. Definitely in rare form. Well, I guess that's his response to Tucker Carlson in about eight minutes, right? All right, 17 minutes after the hour, everybody's talking about weight loss injections. And because they get dramatic results. In many cases, people lose weight. It addresses diabetes. And in some cases, there are nasty side effects. loss of muscle and the jury's out and whether or not there'll be bone issues in the long run what if you're interested in losing weight but you're not interested in the painful injections or the intense side effects that's where the doctors at brick house nutrition come in when they created lean the studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower blood sugar burn fat by converting it to energy which feels great Curb your appetite and cravings, so you're not as hungry and you eat less, calorie deficit.

These are the top five stories shaping this Friday, April, the 24th, 2026. The big correspondence dinner is tomorrow night. President Trump expected to do something this weekend. He's never done before as a president. Attend. The president and the first lady will reportedly attend the White House Correspondence Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. Trump has a notably prickly relationship with some members of the press, and it will be his first time attending the dinner as president. Comedians have been at center stage at previous dinners, but this year's event will feature a performance from mentalist Oz Perlman. I'm Mark Mefield. A Georgia Republican is proposing a plan, something David Zanati brought up in our... time with him, our senior contributor, that Arlington and Alexandria in Fairfax County have really become an extension of D.C. It's mostly populated by government employees and probably should be a part of D.C. And certainly not the gerrymandering efforts of Virginia. And that's exactly what a Georgia Republican is proposing. Congressman Rich McCormick introduced the Make D.C. Square Again Act on Thursday. He says the two cities sit on land that was originally given to the federal government to form the District of Columbia. The land was given back to Virginia in the late 1840s, but McCormick says the government never actually had the authority to do that. McCormick openly admits the bill is a reaction to Virginia's passage of a congressional redistricting referendum earlier this week that could net Democrats at 10 to 1 advantage in the House and boost their chances of flipping the chamber.

I'm Tammy Trujillo. Former Vice President Mike Pence says he would advise President Trump, as if President Trump cares what he thinks or would even ask him, but he would advise the president to let the Pope be the Pope. And my advice to the Pope would be and let President Trump be president. But nevertheless, after the two leaders have been at odds for recent weeks, the former Vice President has been asked the question, and he answered Scott Carr has the report from Washington. The former vice president shared his stance during a recent interview with MS Now, coming after the president had clashed with Pope Leo over his criticism of the war between the U.S. and Iran. However, Pence tells Ali Vitale he has not spoken to President Trump directly on the matter. Pence has become an outspoken critic of several policies under Trump's second administration, and his advocacy group recently pushed back against the White House's reported proposal to rescue Spirit Airlines from bankruptcy. I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Yeah, that's a big story this week that the president may bail out a failing airline. Meanwhile, another airline, JetBlue, facing class action lawsuit. Liz Warner has more. The complaint filed Wednesday claims the airline tracked a New York resident's information without his knowledge while he was booking a flight to Florida. It also alleged JetBlue shares data with numerous third parties and engages in what's called surveillance pricing. That's a practice used by companies to charge different prices based on consumers' data and browsing behavior. The company denying all of the allegations saying that fares are determined by demand and seat availability. In New York, I'm Liz Warner. Yeah, see my incogny commercials. The new Michael Jackson movie is moon walking its way up to the top of the box office. This is going to be a runaway international hit. The biopic called Michael made $13 million in its Thursday preview alone in the U.S. That becomes the best ever for a musical biopic. Critics are giving Michael a low score, but the audience approval is 96%. The film is also hit internationally, where it made $19 million in its first day alone. Well, maybe never served in the military, but there are multiple military terms we use in everyday life. Some we understand. Some we don't. Well, we keep using them. Hurry up and wait on the double and Roger. All military terms we use in civilian life because they just make sense. But there are others that don't. Too easy means it's really hard. Double tap means repeat. And near miss is a near collision. Seems like near hit would be better. But the military says the term dates back to World War II to describe bombs that landed close enough to damage ships but not hit them. So it really means close call, but everything's okay. I'm Bree Tennis. I'm near Miss. I did not know that's the origins of it. I'm executive chef, George Harbell. My morning show is your morning show with Michael Del Jornow. Amazon Health AI presents painful thoughts. I am.

On an NFL draft weekend. Ah, we're just mosing through another year.

We start with the college bowl playoffs and national championship and then the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl. Then we stall a bit till March madness. Then we get to the Masters NFL draft and baseball season. All just making our way until the next NFL season, which we just continue to kind of live for. A lot of people will spend this weekend talking about, oh. What a great draft we had or, oh, what were they thinking and drafting this? And the answer is we really don't know. Time will tell. It looks like a pretty smart first overall pick and a predictable one. The Raiders took. The National Championship quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. I think that's going to pan out very well for them. The Jets had the second overall pick and took Texas Tech, edge rusher, David Bailey. I think the Arizona Cardinals, for those listening to KFII, you did terrific. I had Notre Dame's running back, Jeremiah Love. The Tennessee Titans, they don't do it often, but really good first overall pick. Ohio State wide receiver, Cardinal Tate. And the Giants took Ohio State linebacker Arvel Reese. to round out the top five picks overall, and I sure hope your team picked well. The new Michael Jackson biopic motion picture, Michael. is moon walking up the top of the box office, and that was just on a Thursday debut, 19 million internationally. This is expected to make a lot of money, and a lot of you might go see it this weekend. And the president will attend his first White House correspondence dinner as a president. He's never gone before his president, but he's going this time, and it begs the question. Oh my goodness, what might he say? All right, everybody. Look, and love. Look, you've just got to try harder, not to solve. So I'm glad for the opportunity for a brief civics lesson. You're a fashion. Perhaps you'd like to be alone with the radically deteriorating mental condition. When it comes to politics, you don't know it's a whole... All right, 37 minutes after the hour, always revealing often entertaining time for your sounds of the day on this Friday. Listen, this is supposed to be a segment where we just play the sound and you decide, but this needs a little bit of background. And this goes back to something we talked a little bit about with John Decker, the death of journalism. But the death of journalism isn't the whole story. The death of journalism plus the social dilemma plus the matrix is really what we're dealing with here. And it makes reality and critical thinking impossible. Now, all of our sounds of the day are going to demonstrate that in some way. And you can't find a better example than what we did in our platinum first hour. We call it platinum, by the way, because people that get up that early to listen to the first hour, you're our platinum card listeners. Kind of like American Express used to have the platinum card. I mean, you're the movers and shakers. You're the moms that are up praying, making lunches, making breakfast. I mean, really parenting, or the businessmen that get up earlier. How about all of you on the West Coast is the middle of the night, but that's how early you get up.

because you're doing business with the East Coast. So we really love our platinum card first hour listeners. It doesn't matter as much if you listen to the podcast because the podcast is the entire show and waiting for you. But those that listen live, you're pretty special. So we did this in the platinum hour and it's the latest Rasmussen poll. Most don't think we're winning the war. This is not an opinion. They have no Navy left. Iran has no air force left. Its army's been decimated. Its proxies that carry out the terrorist attacks have been decimated. Their intelligence apparatus decimated. Their rocket systems all destroyed. Their scientists dead. The Ayatollahs dead. And with the Strait of Hormuz closed, they're losing $500 million a day. Their regime is soon dead. I mean, we were joking earlier. I can't think of anything more decisive. Grenada? Seriously. So I don't care what a thousand people responded. We're not losing the war with Iran. It's actually an operation still and not a war. Not even a fight.

And yet, 42% of likely U.S. voters believe the war against Iran has been successful. 24% very successful. More than that, 50% think the war has not been successful, including 32% who say it's not been successful at all. Now, I don't have to tell you, this goes right down party lines. But even that is some pause. There's only 64% of Republicans who view the war against Iran as successful. Look, you don't understand this enemy, or you don't understand what we've done to them, or you're listening to the wrong sources. I mean, I realize you're not at the game, but you might want to turn the channel. The announcers you're listening to are simply not describing the game accurately. And of course. Only 25% of Democrats. Well, the matrix is the matrix. What about the independence? Only 36% of voters that are not affiliated with either major party. I think it's been successful. Based on what? A brief increase in the price of oil and gasoline at the pump?

It's already way under $100 a barrel, so you're not paying any more for gas than you were for gas when Biden was in office and nothing was happening. No, it's these narratives. This is where the death of journalism destroys the ability for a republic. They're saying this because this is what they're told. I'll give you a great example. Talk about, and this is not just liberal media, this is liberal media that you're paying for. PBS is Liz Landers. Now, they create these narratives that aren't even reality. And then they just take them to the most absurd level. Well, you've said you're going to destroy the civilization. Are you thinking about nuking Iran? A liberal reporter who doesn't understand this enemy appreciate the threat of this enemy to a region, to Israel, and to America, or its proxy terror groups against creating national security, believing we're losing, asks the president in desperation, are you going to nuke them? There are no words. For me, the president had an immediate response. Would you use a nuclear weapon against Iran? You posted on social. No. No. We don't need it. Why do I need it? Why would a stupid question like that be asked? Why would I use a nuclear weapon? We've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it. No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody. She didn't even get to finish her question. Where she was headed was, you said you were going to destroy their civilization two weeks ago. You know, we're all rooting for Iran and not you. Now that you're losing this war, are you going to nuke them? What a dumb question. This goes back to my interview, and if you missed it, it's online in the podcast, but we're talking to Ted Cruz. I don't even need this to end. It's over. Now, it's never going to be over until they kill every last Christian and Jew and control every country and the entire earth, either through taxation, conversion, or destruction. So the enemy has a say they're never going to be defeated until they're gone. But there are ways to maintenance it. In the case of Iran, they're not a nuclear threat, at least for a decade. They're not a terrorist threat through their proxies for at least three quarters of a decade. And with the Strait of the Hormuz and their ports blocked, they're losing $500 million a day. You don't have to do anything but keep the ports secure. The Strait of Hormuz secure and their ports closed. And there's going to be regime change. I mean, how much in misinformation would you have to listen to to and even ask a stupid question like that? Remember what I said. Yes, we have death of journalism, but it's not a win for the right. It's a defeat for the Republic. Probably the strangest thing that's developed through all of this. Who's the biggest critics of the president right now? Megyn Kelly, Candice Owen, Tucker Carlson. Who's been the biggest supporter of the president?

John Fetterman, Bill Maher, who had this critique for the left. This is beeped, but I'd have beeped it louder. I may add a live beep to this. Yes, don't get what liberals don't get about liberation. I see so much happiness. I see it in Venezuela. I see it here in Iran. Could we skip the part where we talk about, oh, they had so many different reasons for going to war, regime change, and we got to get rid of the nukes, and they were supporters of terrorism? It's all of it. How about this? This was a fascist theocracy, and nothing in the Middle East was ever going to get better while they were still there fucking everything up. I mean, that pretty much sums it up, right? How is it Bill Maher gets it? PBS doesn't. How is it Bill Maher gets it? And 50% of America doesn't? How dangerous is this matrix this man speaks of? Or death of journalism this man speaks of. Or a social dilemma this man's embarrassing is the answer. And I always love these because it just goes to show the game that's being played and it's so ignorant. What is Donald Trump done that isn't in the Republican platform that we have never Trumpers in the Republican Party? What is Donald Trump doing that not every Democrat, including Hillary, promised to do in Iran? or whether it's Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, in terms of immigration. So when you're on the street, watch how this guy basically brings up deportation of 3.1 million people. And the assumption is it's Trump when the answer is it's really Barack Obama deported 3.1 million. 2 million self-deported under Trump, but he hasn't come anywhere near 3 million deported. And of course, he's the great king and tyrant who's using the military to just round up everyday innocent people. So when presented with a reality, Obama deported 3.1 million and you had nothing to say. And narrative that Trump did, or your assumption that Trump did when he hasn't, and they were both doing the same thing, but watch the difference in the reaction. Supported 3.1 million illegal immigrants so far. What is your response to that? I'm speechless. I thought we were doing fine before he became president, and I feel great sympathy for the people who are sent to pension. So we were doing great when in reality we deported 3.1 million under Barack Obama, but now we were doing great. We don't need Donald Trump. Listen to these ignoramus. They don't even know. Democrats have said that this is inhumane. It's unprecedented. Would you agree with that? I would. I would, yes. Trump has deported 3.1 million illegal immigrants. What is your take on that? Well, that's awful. I didn't know about it. You're just telling the news.

I think it's awful, really. Just to send people back, they have a light here. I just think it's awful. A lot of Democrats are saying that it's unprecedented and it's even illegal. Do you agree with that? I think so. I think it's illegal. I mean, I think it's terrible and inhumane, and I... I think that the one deserves answers, and I think that it's deplorable that the U.S. President is doing that to his own citizens currently. And a lot of Democrats have echoed that, and they've said that this is unprecedented. This is illegal. I agree with that? Yeah, absolutely, 100%. So actually, President Obama deported 3.1 million illegal immigrants. Trump has deported 400,000, and 1.6 million have self-deported. So much more I'm self-deported. Is that changed? Are you still speechless or disturbed by Obama? I am speechless because of the way he is doing it. Oh, so now we just shifted the way he's doing it. And I think a lot of it may be illegal. How is it different than the way Obama is doing it, in your view? Because Obama used ICE to deport people, families. I'm afraid I couldn't speak on that because I don't have the information. No, of course you don't. And you don't have the information on your original opinion either. You've misinformation and narrative. But here's the problem, and I'm just going to skip it because it goes on with each individual person for another three and a half minutes. None of them go, oh, wow, was I misled? Was I misinformed? Boy, do I feel stupid? There's no acknowledgement of that or turning from that.

which suggests there's no end to this brainwashing and division. always revealing, sometimes entertaining, sometimes just downright scary. That's your sounds of the day. All right, everybody. Block and low. I'm not joking. I don't think we should be taking the advice from a group of people who can't define what a woman is. Talk a little bit closer at the mic. That was just complete, not only misinformation, it was racist. Is it a failure? Yes. Right now what's happening in Israel is not a television event, nor is it a stupid social media debate. It's real war and it's real life. I want to tell you about a woman named Esther. In her home in Israel, Esther's living through days and nights of fear, sirens sounding, rockets screaming through the sky, long stretches spent in bomb shelters. And at 84 years old, Esther's elderly, fragile, and she's all alone. Imagine that, no help, no food deliveries, no medical care. There's no one knocking at her door, especially at wartime and in a war zone. But that's where Christians and Jews together come. And Esther realizes she's not alone. Through the fellowship, international fellowship of Christians and Jews, you're there. You're bringing food, meeting urgent needs, reminding Jewish people like Esther, they're not forgotten. They're not alone. In times of fear and uncertainty, your compassion brings hope and help. Or as Esther calls it, you're doing a great mitzvah.

Well, there's always narrative versus reality. 56 minutes after the hour and our polls are plenty. Most don't see success. The majority of Americans over 50% think we're losing the war. and Iran. Meanwhile, disapproval rating for Congress ties a record high, 86% disapproval rating, but by all means, reelect them all. And great story we didn't get to, John Fetterman. John Fetterman was talking about how Iran must be so excited about the American media and the Democrat Party. I mean, they're getting their butt kicked and getting support from the media and the Democrats. Roy O'Neill is keeping an eye on reality, not narratives, and the peace talks and the happenings at the Strait of Hormuz. And we also had a Pentagon News conference that just began moments ago. Roy, what's the latest? Yeah, we just heard from Secretary Pete Hegseth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs about the operation. A lot of it focused on the U.S. blockade that continues with the U.S. Navy. A third aircraft carrier group arriving in the area as well. They say that the blockade has been 100% successful, stopping any shipping traffic getting to or out of Iranian ports. Still not a lot of ships making it through the Strait of Hormuz in particular. They say that Iranian forces have even struck five different passing ships, some of which they had actually given permission to go ahead. So it's a little bit confusing right now. Well, what's not confusing is Iran's losing about $500 million a day. How about peace talks? Where do we stand? Well, we've got a report this morning from CNN that Iranian leaders were heading to Pakistan, but nothing yet from the U.S. going there. So maybe something is in the mix. But we did get that good news with the talks involving Lebanon and Israel. They are extending their ceasefire for an additional three weeks after those talks that were brokered again by Marco Rubio in Washington. So some progress on that front. That is good news. And Rory, of course, with the weekend, I will have more. We're all in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.
