Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael Del Chono.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
The fires in Los Angeles have now spread to twenty
nine thousand acres. The death toll has risen to ten.
The National Guard is being deployed to cross Los Angeles
to stop looting in neighborhoods ravaged by fires. Meanwhile, a
powerful winter storm hitting the South and the Midwest, and
the future of TikTok is at stake, and before the

(00:26):
United States Supreme Court. We're gonna have more on that
next half hour with John Decker. First things first, before
we get to the Trump sentencing, which is coming up
later this morning, Rory, let's start with the fires. Boy,
there was the fires themselves and the attempts to contain them,

(00:47):
and then there was the firestorm towards leadership. The narratives
yesterday were as out of control as the fires themselves.
It was something extraordinary brewing in southern California yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, not a lot of good news to update you
with this morning. As you said, containment of these fires
remains negligible at best. They did get the helicopters and
airplanes up in the skies again to start spreading water
on some of these fires. I guess the only good
news is that the winds continue to subside. So I
think they were hoping for a lot more progress yesterday

(01:21):
than they were able to make. Hopefully at an update
this morning, later this morning, we'll get a better idea
as to just how successful they've been in trying to
stop the spread of these fires. But they've also been
distracted by looters and by arsonists allegedly caught setting new fires.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Makes you wonder what started the original, doesn't it?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh? Absolutely, they haven't said, yeah, no determination there yet.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
All right, Speaking of narratives, and I don't want to
make this like talk radio, but you know, one of
the consistent narratives is, this is Donald Trump's Supreme Court.
Well yesterday and the sentencing will take place today. But
Marshaan has already indicated there won't be any jail time.
Do we know that for sure? We won't know till
we know, right.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, he was a little bit vague, but essentially suggested
that he would have what they called an unconditional discharge.
This is allowed under New York law. That essentially says, well,
complete the case and there are no conditions on your release.
There may be a fine in the works. It could
be up to one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. That's
five thousand per thirty four, So that's a possibility. But

(02:30):
don't expect probation because then you'd have to report to
a probation officer or something. So it looks like they're
just going to go through with the procedure, which though
they also need to go through. I mean, I know
Donald Trump was trying to fight this sentencing hearing, but
you actually can't appeal it until the sentencing is done.
So what the Supreme Court ruled yesterday was only that

(02:51):
the sentencing hearing can move forward. They didn't rule on
the merits of the case, but just said that, look,
by all proper legal means, this case should be allowed
to proceed.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Or I'll be back next half hour. Appreciate it, Rory, miss.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
A little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and we'll
miss you. It's your morning show with Michael del Churno.
