Speaker 1 (00:00):

Patriot in San Diego, News Talk, one oh six point
three and AM eighteen eighty WM EQ oh Claire, Wisconsin
and one oh four nine The Patriot and Saint Louis, Missouri.
Would love to be a part of your morning routine.
But so glad you're here now.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast one two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Gill charm Well.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Ready or not? Here we come right seven minutes after
the hour. Welcome to Thursday, January, the fifteenth year of
Our Lord, twenty twenty six. For many of us, it's
pay day. By the end of the day, we'll pay
bills and it'll be worried day. I'm kidding. I was
going to start in a positive note. The crew of
(00:56):
the International Space Station is returned to Earth ahead of
a ahead of schedule because of that sick astronaut. We
don't know which of the four was sick. We don't
know the severity of the illness. We just know they
have splashed down and returned. President Trump is expected to
meet with the Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Corina Muchado, and
that'll be at the White House today. Meanwhile, the US
(01:18):
has made its first sale of Venezuelan oil. And there
is a lot of theme today in political theater. Things
that come to my mind immediately the Illinois representative filing
articles of impeachment against Christy Nome. There's about seventy these.
(01:39):
She thinks that could be strictly party lines. No one
believes these articles could possibly go anywhere. That's political theater.
The other would be the Minneapolis mayor Frey who once
told Ice to get the blank out of his city,
a very immediate, reactionary and inciting action. I'm not being critical.
(02:05):
I'm just saying it was very inciting. Now yesterday in
a very inciting way, telling everybody we can't answer with
chaos with chaos. So you see the political theater that incites,
and then you see the political theater that tries to
calm responses versus. I think it was email me yesterday.
(02:28):
You never know where people are, but wherever Roger is,
he was contemplating something we talked about, and I think
It was probably a comment I made in our New
Year's State of the Union address, which discusses reaction versus response.
(02:50):
Prepared people respond, Unprepared people react. This can apply to
spiritual attacks, life's circumstances, because they're going to happen, whether
you're prepared or not. Unprepared people react, it's immediate. It
(03:10):
usually makes the problem worse. Prepared people respond, and it
tends to be measured proportional, appropriate, and leads to resolve.
Reactions can tend to create problems worse than the original
(03:32):
action that they reacted to. We see a lot of
that in political theater. The things they gin up cause
the action, they seize the action. They wanted a George Floyd,
so they created one. Well, if you create a George Floyd,
you create the kind of divide that goes from protest
(03:54):
to rioting to more people dying. So we're seeing a
lot of political theater, and then we're seeing a lot
of movement. You know, the President clearly saw in Venezuela
a threat and a threat that had to be dealt with.
I think one of the most encouraging silver linings of
(04:16):
the day is a Rasmussen report that shows you the
fifty one percent of the American people. Now, after time,
after a few deep breaths, after looking at things, fifty
one percent support the capture of Maduro. Maybe they a
(04:40):
week from now, two weeks from now, will support the
seizing of oil. Speaking of that, we made our first
sale of Venezuelan oil. So there are actions versus political theater.
On the action front, Iran is weakened. The people are
rising up, wanting change, wanting freedom. It hasn't been like
(05:03):
this since nineteen seventy nine. There was some drama on
that front. That's a real story worthy of your time.
They closed all airspace to commercial aircraft for hours. But
probably the silver lining good news on that is they
also signaled that some of the people they've captured will
not be hung. So they have blinked and responded to
(05:27):
President Trump's pressure. Now, the ticklish line in all this
is it's nineteen seventy nine again, meddling created the Ayatola.
What is the proper actions of the United States in
words and action that needs to unfold. Probably the worst
(05:50):
news of the day for those of us living in Tennessee.
John Harbaugh, it looks like has secured his deal with
the New York Giants. Oh no, another nostredel Giorno. I
told you that's where he's wanting to go. Don't say
that yet. It hasn't been officially announced. We still have time,
but that's what the rest of the day is for.
But don't say that. So now, what do we want?
(06:13):
And if you're in a city without a coach, which
one did you want? Because I think everybody wanted Harbaugh.
I move on now to the exiting Pittsburgh Steeler coach
they allowed to leave before they fired him. I'll take Tomlin.
That's fine, don't you think. I mean, seriously, I got
(06:34):
to stop and talk sports. But now it's a race
for Tomlin, right because absolutely, I mean, you know it's
versus the TV contract is I believe what it is. Well,
I mean there's just there's just tiers of available coaches
out there. I don't think you know my problem. There
are some people that are just made to be coordinators,
(06:56):
and I think you know, you never hear people on
television and Brian Kellahan, Yeah, I mean they're great coordinators.
That doesn't make them a great head coach. You got
somebody like Harball, you got somebody like Tomlin. You know
that's a leader. You know that's a head coach, leader
of men. Yeah. So, I mean I think we got
a lot of proven coordinators that are out there in
(07:20):
the mix. But that's about a twenty percent success rate
of great coordinators that go on to become great head
football coaches. Now, of course, every head coach probably started
as a coordinator. I mean I get that, but I
think with if Harbaugh is going to the Giants and
everybody kind of knew that leaking going in, then I
(07:40):
think it makes Tomlin the top commodity. But I could
be wrong. We could make that our talkback question of
the day. We almost need a break from all this
other stuff. What were you going to say, Red with
your fledgling microphone that will soon be replaced. I don't
think Tomlin's going to coach this year. You can take
it off.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I don't need I don't need either one of you
talking like that. I'm gonna wash both your mouths, Thatt
with soap. I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You never say anybody out loud, who do you want?
I want Harbaugh? I mean you still think you got
a shot at that, Well, that's called denial. Can you'll
go to anger, that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
You'll go to that I go to bleeding, but then
I'll take Tomlin. But I know, deep down in my
heart will never get either one of those coaches, because
our our franchise, as far as the upper management, it
is in such disarray that nobody wants to come here.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
All right. So there's those of us in losing NFL
cities not quite enjoying the playoffs as much as you
in either forms of denial or next hope. Uh. There
is political theater that continues to just kind of be
an endless loop of not just hysteria but insanity that
(08:58):
leads to nowhere. And then there's a president taking a
lot of meaningful actions and then actions that I don't know.
I was going to have this conversation with David Sanadi
which will probably have tomorrow in depth. The president is
still selling his presidency more than he is selling the midterms.
(09:22):
So I don't think his whatever his style messaging and
push for midterms is going to be I don't think
that's begun. Now. That doesn't mean that you go to
Michigan and you lay out what you believe is an
economic direction and reality, and that isn't necessarily impactful on
a midterm It just means he's still trying to sell
(09:43):
what he's doing. And I get that, and I can
keep an eye on that, and I can look forward,
and I can analyze, and I can watch for that.
But things like than is Waila rushing to move on Greenland, Iran?
(10:05):
Iran kind of happened. I mean, that's what everybody's been
waiting for. So that's going to get to his desk
really quick. I can't tell you how many years. And
this is off the air. Mostly I would be talking
to military foreign policy experts, and they all knew two things.
The greatest predictable threat is Iran, whether it goes through
(10:28):
the root of terrorism, whether it goes through the root
of radicalizing Muslim nations, or whether it goes through the
root of regional I mean, right after them is probably
North Korea and kind of overlapping, and above all of
them is China and Russia. But Iran, and nobody ever
(10:49):
wants to talk to you all about the sensitive reasons
for that. I'm one of the few who will. And
I'm not doing it to frighten I'm certainly not doing
it to in sight or insult. I have studied the
life of Mohammad, the hidith, I have studied the Quran.
I know the three conflicting examples of Mohammad. I know
(11:17):
that some Muslims follow the peaceful early Mohammed, some the
political mid Mohammad, and some the bloodthirsty warrior conquering Mohammad,
a Shia Muslim, which is like what comes out of Iran.
They're very, very actionary. If they have a bomb, they
(11:37):
have it to use. Now, you know, it is the
war on terror, and terror is part of that. But
it is this simple. You convert or you're taxed and controlled.
You convert or you're killed. And that's why a lot
of these foreign policy experts know, as bad as Russia
(11:59):
is that as the Soviet Union was before Russia, as
volatile as things are and hopeless as things are in
North Korea, the most likely this is why Iran could
never be allowed to have a weapon of mass destruction,
because they'll use it or a plane or a bomb
(12:25):
or a knife. So that kind of comes to the surface.
But they'll all tell you the other thing, which is
the only real result. The people have to rise up
against it, and that's kind of happening at what numbers,
We don't know, So the presidents try to make that move.
(12:46):
That one I understand, but a lot of these other ones,
the visas being halted immediately, stopping all immigration from Somalia immediately.
There is a lot of things the president is doing,
I think because he wonders how much time he has
to take real action, because if the midterm goes a
(13:07):
Democrat way, well, not only will you have political theater
like articles of impeachment today against Christy Nome, you'll have
them against the president and they'll get through. So I
just wonder me we'll talk about that more with David
Snati tomorrow, how much the president is rushing the plan.
(13:27):
That's just kind of what's on our table today. Why
because our goal is to understand it all, to know
where we're at, what's coming next, and not be fooled
by the distractionary narratives the end of the day, other
than the fact that we love each other and we're
a family, and this is a radio show that serves you,
(13:48):
not the other way around. That's what we're about daily, understanding,
making sense of all of this, what is nonsense going nowhere,
which will come and go like the wind and which
is real and needs us to stop. And for many
of us who pray, pray accordingly. Listen, everybody forgets things
now and then a name, a word. While you walked
(14:11):
into a room. That'll happen more and more as you
get older. Now, while that all happens to all of us,
if those slips start happening more and more often, it
might mean your brain needs some support, or at least
support in a more targeted way. And that's where Sarah

Speaker 3 (15:37):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Born named Michael Jeffreynred.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It's woody.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I know his stock has fallen since he went to
the college game, but he's right there in North Carolina.
Bill Belichick, Oh h he didn't pan out in college,
but bring him back to the pros see if he's
got a second win.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Hey good, more than Mike tim from Van Cleeves.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Any head coach who picked Tennessee just for the taxes alone, especially.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Harbaal trying to go to the Giants and the attacks out.
It was rear end well John, especially with New York
although the Giants play in New Jersey. I'm sticking with
Jeff on this one. It is not a dumb deal yet.
I appreciate the spirit, but pretty sure Tomlin's under contract
for another year By the Steelers, meaning they would have
to trade. Somebody would have to buy that out. Probably
(16:28):
a good chance that doesn't happen, So he's probably sitting
out for a year. We have one hundred million dollars
in cap cash. Do you know what's funny is that,
you know, you say, you say Belicheck, and I think,
I don't know. You know this, this really was a
bad year. You know, if you could convince me, you know,
I would look for him, you know, if he's if
(16:49):
he broke up with this young girl or something, you know,
something to show me he's got his life back together.
And then as quick as I had that thought, the
next thought was, well, who would say no to that? Right?
I mean, I don't think I'd get upset if he
came here and I would expect success. I would not
expect success. You really wouldn't, I think, Oh I do,
(17:09):
I would.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
And I'm starting to believe that as great a coach
as Belichick was, it was Brady.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
And what Brady did in that luck room. Well, no,
if there's any proof going into this weekend, yes it
was both. But yes they can win without both, and
they may go to the super Bowl without both. So
this is Big John and My Morning Show is your
Morning Show with Michael D. Jeffrey and Red Book.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Hey Gang, it's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB and Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you listen
live every morning. But glad you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Enjoy the day await you Thursday, January the fifteenth year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. I always love this
first hour. We haven't talked about this a long time
since the show launched, but I always call it my
platinum card listeners, because if you're up at this hour,
especially in the West Coast, but even in the Central
time Zone and to some degree in the Eastern time Zone,
(18:27):
you guys are the movers and the shakers. You're the
people that are up praying before other people are upgriping.
You're the ones that are up planning, already doing business.
You're the ones that make everything move. And I do
think that the show is a different tone in the
first hour because of that we kind of have one
on one moments and do and say things we don't
(18:49):
do later in the show. And so I want to
cover one thing very very quickly. That's personal. I wouldn't
know how to pick any of the emails that I
received throughout the day yesterday. I tried to, and when
my responses are quick, it's because it's me and I'm
in the midst of all of this. But I can't
(19:11):
tell you how. There's doctors and nurses and hospice things
and the coming at me and then arrangements and everything
that's going on, and then you know, this morning, I
was just like, oh God, how do I clear my
mind now and do the job You've given me? And
(19:31):
the verse that popped up that came to mind was
let me get to it. It's Romans. I think it's yeah,
Romans fifteen thirty. And it was the simple Paul asking
for prayer, and I just felt like it was God saying,
(19:54):
you know, this is one of those things you can't
pray yourself out of. I've got people praying for you,
and that's all that can be done right now, just
to receive it and know a lot. And my first
mind is not my church family or my and I
know my closest friends are praying, but to know that
(20:15):
all of you were there and there was one listener
in particular, I said, you got millions. It's not millions,
by the way, I don't think yet. You got millions
who love you and are praying for you. That was it.
That's the end of the story. That's the solution that
makes the tight jaw relax a lot. So from the
bottom of my heart, I thank all of you for
the sacrifice of prayer, because it's what Mom needs, it's
(20:38):
what I need, it's what our country needs, and it
is productive work to pray. So just thank you from
the bottom of the heart for all of you who
are caring and sending wonderful messages. Every time I just
take a little break, I read them, and somewhere between
God's presence, his word and your emails, I'm getting through
(21:03):
the day. So thank you. And you got a wink
from God himself who said, that's it. They're praying for you.
I'm hearing it. You just keep walking, So thank you
for that. The other is this political theater thing, and
I want to start by saying one of the things
that led to the creation of this show and the
way it is, and I think a lot of you
(21:25):
get it. It does feel different. It sounds different because
as a veteran of talk radio, I got sick of
talk radio becoming a part of the problem. I always
felt like for decades, talk radio was a last bastion
of truth, was a lone voice of reason, was the
(21:50):
only thing that gave a silver lining of hope. And
then I saw talk radio play shirts and skins just
like talk TV, just like partisan politics and interest groups.
And that's where you where you get lines like don't
(22:12):
you think it's time? Things become a conversation again, a
cheesy management meeting we were in one time, but it
made so much sense. If I use one finger, I
can only poke so hard, but I make a fist,
I can punch right through the wall. We are so
(22:34):
much more effective, reasonable, well thought when we're together. Even
some silly conversation about a coach, Big John of course,
fanning the fames of delusion, of grandeur and false hope,
and Jeffrey that he's come back. It's still possible we
could get harball. Yeah, this just did Big John. I
(22:57):
think God Vrabel's gonna leave this weekend.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
He says, I don't know, Jeff, but I'm getting some
texts that it's a done deal with the Giants.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's a dundee. I just said, I'm crying, and then
I was like, we're going to Tomlin. And then a
caller calls it and says, well, you know, he's got a
year left. And all you had to say was, because
I think I even interrupted, say you got to buy
that out, or you can make a trade. It's the Titans.
We got nothing to trade. And then I thought, well
that would mean ownership decision. And then that led to
(23:25):
Jeffrey saying, you know, to quota del journalism, which didn't
even know there's such a thing as del journalisms. Do
I say all of the above that much? Well? Sometimes yeah,
I mean do I have hyper homocystinemia? Do I need
Sarah fallen? But he said, here's the all the above,
and we know this and it's so powerful. Got to
(23:46):
have a great owner, got to have a great head coach.
There is a gm in between there. You got to
have a superstar quarterback and they all got to stay
in their lane. You know what, that's a pretty good summary.
Tennessee's gonna have a great stadium. Everything else I just
don't see happening, including that great coach. You know what Belichick,
(24:08):
as one listener said, may be the best option. But
that's the collective thought. That's what's lost when you have some.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Guy the radio that thinks she knows everything. Now the
president is cutting off immigration. What about the great minds
of Somalia. They can come here and make a difference.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Wading hundred, Chavvien, Chevy, Chefi, chevity, Chevin, chevity, Chevin, give
me caught. What do you think? And they never care
what you think. They want to tell you what to think.
And we said, no, we're going back to a conversation
and we're going to go back to understanding. We're going
(24:50):
to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
And I'm going to give you one last example and
will make my political theater point. I'm not bashing like
everybody else.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Does this guy many ablish Tampa timp shmaar.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Wa a hunder championship? No, seriously, this guy misinformed Like no,
this guy reacted, not responded too soon with misinformation and
incited everybody, even told the government to get the f out. Yesterday,
(25:36):
everything sounded so different.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop
that is not helpful, go home. We cannot counter Donald
Trump's chaos with our own brand of chaos. And I
have seen thousands of people throughout our cityfully protesting. For
(26:01):
those that have peacefully protested, I applaud you. For those
that are taking the bait, you are not helping, and
you are not helping the undocumentary.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
This is so insulting to my intelligence. You wanted a
George Floyd and you created it. And Renee Good, well,
guess what with George Floyd comes, the misinformation comes, the
inciting comes, the pitting against each other, comes, those who
(26:35):
are ginned up to protest, and all the paid elements.
I am not wishing this, In fact, I'm praying against it.
But you wanted another George Floyd, you might want to
expect more burnings, more looting. It's kind of like and
(26:58):
I don't even if we're going to get to today,
but don't have to wait till tomorrow with David Sonati.
But we're getting well, we'll get some of it and
sounds of the day with Harry Entton, but we're learning
more about how people are identifying less and less as
Republican and Democrat, more and more as independent. Now they
still lean certain ways, but the same is happening with
liberal and the same is happening with conservative. Conservative brand
(27:24):
does it very well with those who love Donald Trump,
but for those that have Trump derangement, it's taken a
hit Liberalism because of people like Tim people like mer Frey,
because of what they gin up and incite and then
try to be the solution to when they're actually a
part of the problem. These dots get connected by everyday Americans.
(27:49):
Every day americans like me who just have kids that
they want to have a future, have jobs and bills,
they want to pay, parents that are dying, they want
to spend time with They don't have time for all
of this. Now, the biggest problem with the Republicans and
(28:10):
Democrats are they create the problems. The biggest problem, I
would tell you, I can't. I don't think I could
find anybody I even remotely or you should remotely respect
that wouldn't tell you. The clearest and present danger for
the United States of America is it's out of control
(28:33):
spending and debt. And they both did it. So how
can the one that is the problem then turn and
be the solution. And sometimes I hate this because I
don't want to be a part of the problem. Sometimes
it takes a mayor fry to do it in such
(28:53):
close proximity that I hope you can see that if
if you're the mayor of the municipality, public safety is
always the number one priority, So your law enforcement is
(29:14):
the first thing I'm going to judge you on. Red
said something day one to quote a redism. Why do
I have Del journalisms but you don't have redisms. Now
I'm paranoid. I got one guy telling me I say
Matrix too much. Now you're telling me I say all
the above a lot. Is it a good del journalism?
Is it a critical del journalism? Why isn't this a redism?
(29:39):
I think it's a great Oh okay, No. My joking
point was what Red said on day one. Had the
governor and mayor all stayed in their lanes and kept
their jobs and not sabotaging an other man's job, the
(30:01):
president or putting theater or partisan politics above governing, there
would have been a perimeter of local law enforcement around
the area of operations. And that woman's car doesn't have
the ability to block a street, her wife harass, and
(30:26):
then her make the split second decision. While I was
trained by organizers and agitators, they can't do anything, So
I'll just pull out, even if it means running over
one of these odes. And she's dead, And if you
want to check your heart at the door, you should
(30:50):
equally want her alive today as much as you ought
to equally say that agent had every right to not
be harassed while doing this job or nearly killed, and
that same agent was drug and nearly killed not too
many days before that. But that isn't their intent. Their
(31:19):
intent is to use anything to get you to hate
each other more and be more and more divided. How
did the George Floyd game end for everyone? How did
we become a more perfect union in how the George
(31:39):
Floyd situation played out? I guess the only differential twist
to this is hate your federal government agencies, not your
local police. But I hope somewhere there's a police chief
in Minnesota going, gee, maybe we shouldn't have been taking
a political stance. Maybe we should have been protecting this perimeter,
(32:04):
because the very ones I'm called to serve and protect
ended up being the ones harmed, and that looks like
it's going to continue. But my main point is, look
at the close proximity of immediately going to a microphone,
(32:24):
immediately reacting in anger, inciting with early and certainly miss information,
inciting the very things now. So the cause of the
problem is now going to rise up to be the solution.
(32:45):
It can't incite and then call for calm because the
paid agitators, they'll take the incitement and go, they won't
take the no. This is already out of control. But
the same guy that said get the beat body here
(33:08):
and we're rising up. We're not taking anywhere now, he's saying.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That is not helpful. Go home, You stay in your
office when it happens, after it happens, stop telling who
needs to f off and stay out. You go home
might be a good first step. That's the difference. For
one of my listeners I love very much. That's the
(33:40):
difference between reaction and response. They needed a mayor, they
needed a leader, they needed a response. They got a
reaction and an incitement. They wanted another George Floyd. Well
they got it. Guess what the George Floyd doesn't end
with stop go Home, or at least it didn't when
it was George Floyd.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
This is your Morning Show. Fifty six minutes after the hour,
President Trump is calling the recent fatal ice shooting of
a Minnesota woman sad to see from both sides.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Trump gave an interview to Reuters in the Oval Office
on Wednesday and called the shooting of Renee Good unfortunate.
The thirty seven year old was shot to death enter
car on January the seventh by an Ice agent, who
federal officials claimed was in fear of being run over.
When asked if he thought the Ice agent did the
right thing, Trump said it was a tough situation to
be in and so sad to see. When asked if
(34:31):
he would pardon the Ice agent if he was convicted
for the shooting, Trump said, We're going to have to
see what happens.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well. The US has made its first
sale of Venezuelan oil Jim Rupez Moore.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
CBS News is reporting the deal is valued at five
hundred million dollars. The exact details of the sale remain unclear,
but a Trump administration official says more sales are expected
in the coming weeks. This comes after the capture of
former Venezuelan President Nicholas Madoro by the US. In the
aftermath of that military operat the Whitehouse is set. It
(35:02):
plans to sell Venezuelan oil and control the proceeds, splitting
the money between the US government, US companies, and Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I'm Jim Roope. Contempt of Congress charges against the Clintons
will be voted on next week. That's according to Republican
Congressman James Comer, who heads up the GOP led House
committee looking into the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Speaker 10 (35:22):
We're going to vote on it in committee Wednesday, so
we're giving plenty of notice. We're having a mark up,
a regularly scheduled markup. We will mark up criminal contip
to Congress chargers for both Clintons for defying illegal subpoena.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
did not show up for their scheduled depositions this week,
accusing Republicans of selective prosecuting. The Clintons and several other
officials were subpoena and a bipartisan vote. Last summer, Joe
Jets made the list. Bottle Rock Music Festival that is
(36:04):
that'll be coming up in northern California. It is fifty
eight minutes after the hour.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
We're all in this together. This is your morning Show
with Michael del Journo.
Hey, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
each weekday morning on great stations like thirteen sixty The
Patriot in San Diego, News Talk, one oh six point
three and AM eighteen eighty WM EQ oh Claire, Wisconsin
and one oh four nine The Patriot and Saint Louis, Missouri.
Would love to be a part of your morning routine.
But so glad you're here now.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast one two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Gill charm Well.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Ready or not? Here we come right seven minutes after
the hour. Welcome to Thursday, January, the fifteenth year of
Our Lord, twenty twenty six. For many of us, it's
pay day. By the end of the day, we'll pay
bills and it'll be worried day. I'm kidding. I was
going to start in a positive note. The crew of
(00:56):
the International Space Station is returned to Earth ahead of
a ahead of schedule because of that sick astronaut. We
don't know which of the four was sick. We don't
know the severity of the illness. We just know they
have splashed down and returned. President Trump is expected to
meet with the Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Corina Muchado, and
that'll be at the White House today. Meanwhile, the US
(01:18):
has made its first sale of Venezuelan oil. And there
is a lot of theme today in political theater. Things
that come to my mind immediately the Illinois representative filing
articles of impeachment against Christy Nome. There's about seventy these.
(01:39):
She thinks that could be strictly party lines. No one
believes these articles could possibly go anywhere. That's political theater.
The other would be the Minneapolis mayor Frey who once
told Ice to get the blank out of his city,
a very immediate, reactionary and inciting action. I'm not being critical.
(02:05):
I'm just saying it was very inciting. Now yesterday in
a very inciting way, telling everybody we can't answer with
chaos with chaos. So you see the political theater that incites,
and then you see the political theater that tries to
calm responses versus. I think it was email me yesterday.
(02:28):
You never know where people are, but wherever Roger is,
he was contemplating something we talked about, and I think
It was probably a comment I made in our New
Year's State of the Union address, which discusses reaction versus response.
(02:50):
Prepared people respond, Unprepared people react. This can apply to
spiritual attacks, life's circumstances, because they're going to happen, whether
you're prepared or not. Unprepared people react, it's immediate. It
(03:10):
usually makes the problem worse. Prepared people respond, and it
tends to be measured proportional, appropriate, and leads to resolve.
Reactions can tend to create problems worse than the original
(03:32):
action that they reacted to. We see a lot of
that in political theater. The things they gin up cause
the action, they seize the action. They wanted a George Floyd,
so they created one. Well, if you create a George Floyd,
you create the kind of divide that goes from protest
(03:54):
to rioting to more people dying. So we're seeing a
lot of political theater, and then we're seeing a lot
of movement. You know, the President clearly saw in Venezuela
a threat and a threat that had to be dealt with.
I think one of the most encouraging silver linings of
(04:16):
the day is a Rasmussen report that shows you the
fifty one percent of the American people. Now, after time,
after a few deep breaths, after looking at things, fifty
one percent support the capture of Maduro. Maybe they a
(04:40):
week from now, two weeks from now, will support the
seizing of oil. Speaking of that, we made our first
sale of Venezuelan oil. So there are actions versus political theater.
On the action front, Iran is weakened. The people are
rising up, wanting change, wanting freedom. It hasn't been like
(05:03):
this since nineteen seventy nine. There was some drama on
that front. That's a real story worthy of your time.
They closed all airspace to commercial aircraft for hours. But
probably the silver lining good news on that is they
also signaled that some of the people they've captured will
not be hung. So they have blinked and responded to
(05:27):
President Trump's pressure. Now, the ticklish line in all this
is it's nineteen seventy nine again, meddling created the Ayatola.
What is the proper actions of the United States in
words and action that needs to unfold. Probably the worst
(05:50):
news of the day for those of us living in Tennessee.
John Harbaugh, it looks like has secured his deal with
the New York Giants. Oh no, another nostredel Giorno. I
told you that's where he's wanting to go. Don't say
that yet. It hasn't been officially announced. We still have time,
but that's what the rest of the day is for.
But don't say that. So now, what do we want?
(06:13):
And if you're in a city without a coach, which
one did you want? Because I think everybody wanted Harbaugh.
I move on now to the exiting Pittsburgh Steeler coach
they allowed to leave before they fired him. I'll take Tomlin.
That's fine, don't you think. I mean, seriously, I got
(06:34):
to stop and talk sports. But now it's a race
for Tomlin, right because absolutely, I mean, you know it's
versus the TV contract is I believe what it is. Well,
I mean there's just there's just tiers of available coaches
out there. I don't think you know my problem. There
are some people that are just made to be coordinators,
(06:56):
and I think you know, you never hear people on
television and Brian Kellahan, Yeah, I mean they're great coordinators.
That doesn't make them a great head coach. You got
somebody like Harball, you got somebody like Tomlin. You know
that's a leader. You know that's a head coach, leader
of men. Yeah. So, I mean I think we got
a lot of proven coordinators that are out there in
(07:20):
the mix. But that's about a twenty percent success rate
of great coordinators that go on to become great head
football coaches. Now, of course, every head coach probably started
as a coordinator. I mean I get that, but I
think with if Harbaugh is going to the Giants and
everybody kind of knew that leaking going in, then I
(07:40):
think it makes Tomlin the top commodity. But I could
be wrong. We could make that our talkback question of
the day. We almost need a break from all this
other stuff. What were you going to say, Red with
your fledgling microphone that will soon be replaced. I don't
think Tomlin's going to coach this year. You can take
it off.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I don't need I don't need either one of you
talking like that. I'm gonna wash both your mouths, Thatt
with soap. I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You never say anybody out loud, who do you want?
I want Harbaugh? I mean you still think you got
a shot at that, Well, that's called denial. Can you'll
go to anger, that.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
You'll go to that I go to bleeding, but then
I'll take Tomlin. But I know, deep down in my
heart will never get either one of those coaches, because
our our franchise, as far as the upper management, it
is in such disarray that nobody wants to come here.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
All right. So there's those of us in losing NFL
cities not quite enjoying the playoffs as much as you
in either forms of denial or next hope. Uh. There
is political theater that continues to just kind of be
an endless loop of not just hysteria but insanity that
(08:58):
leads to nowhere. And then there's a president taking a
lot of meaningful actions and then actions that I don't know.
I was going to have this conversation with David Sanadi
which will probably have tomorrow in depth. The president is
still selling his presidency more than he is selling the midterms.
(09:22):
So I don't think his whatever his style messaging and
push for midterms is going to be I don't think
that's begun. Now. That doesn't mean that you go to
Michigan and you lay out what you believe is an
economic direction and reality, and that isn't necessarily impactful on
a midterm It just means he's still trying to sell
(09:43):
what he's doing. And I get that, and I can
keep an eye on that, and I can look forward,
and I can analyze, and I can watch for that.
But things like than is Waila rushing to move on Greenland, Iran?
(10:05):
Iran kind of happened. I mean, that's what everybody's been
waiting for. So that's going to get to his desk
really quick. I can't tell you how many years. And
this is off the air. Mostly I would be talking
to military foreign policy experts, and they all knew two things.
The greatest predictable threat is Iran, whether it goes through
(10:28):
the root of terrorism, whether it goes through the root
of radicalizing Muslim nations, or whether it goes through the
root of regional I mean, right after them is probably
North Korea and kind of overlapping, and above all of
them is China and Russia. But Iran, and nobody ever
(10:49):
wants to talk to you all about the sensitive reasons
for that. I'm one of the few who will. And
I'm not doing it to frighten I'm certainly not doing
it to in sight or insult. I have studied the
life of Mohammad, the hidith, I have studied the Quran.
I know the three conflicting examples of Mohammad. I know
(11:17):
that some Muslims follow the peaceful early Mohammed, some the
political mid Mohammad, and some the bloodthirsty warrior conquering Mohammad,
a Shia Muslim, which is like what comes out of Iran.
They're very, very actionary. If they have a bomb, they
(11:37):
have it to use. Now, you know, it is the
war on terror, and terror is part of that. But
it is this simple. You convert or you're taxed and controlled.
You convert or you're killed. And that's why a lot
of these foreign policy experts know, as bad as Russia
(11:59):
is that as the Soviet Union was before Russia, as
volatile as things are and hopeless as things are in
North Korea, the most likely this is why Iran could
never be allowed to have a weapon of mass destruction,
because they'll use it or a plane or a bomb
(12:25):
or a knife. So that kind of comes to the surface.
But they'll all tell you the other thing, which is
the only real result. The people have to rise up
against it, and that's kind of happening at what numbers,
We don't know, So the presidents try to make that move.
(12:46):
That one I understand, but a lot of these other ones,
the visas being halted immediately, stopping all immigration from Somalia immediately.
There is a lot of things the president is doing,
I think because he wonders how much time he has
to take real action, because if the midterm goes a
(13:07):
Democrat way, well, not only will you have political theater
like articles of impeachment today against Christy Nome, you'll have
them against the president and they'll get through. So I
just wonder me we'll talk about that more with David
Snati tomorrow, how much the president is rushing the plan.
(13:27):
That's just kind of what's on our table today. Why
because our goal is to understand it all, to know
where we're at, what's coming next, and not be fooled
by the distractionary narratives the end of the day, other
than the fact that we love each other and we're
a family, and this is a radio show that serves you,
(13:48):
not the other way around. That's what we're about daily, understanding,
making sense of all of this, what is nonsense going nowhere,
which will come and go like the wind and which
is real and needs us to stop. And for many
of us who pray, pray accordingly. Listen, everybody forgets things
now and then a name, a word. While you walked
(14:11):
into a room. That'll happen more and more as you
get older. Now, while that all happens to all of us,
if those slips start happening more and more often, it
might mean your brain needs some support, or at least
support in a more targeted way. And that's where Sarah

Speaker 3 (15:37):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Born named Michael Jeffreynred.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It's woody.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I know his stock has fallen since he went to
the college game, but he's right there in North Carolina.
Bill Belichick, Oh h he didn't pan out in college,
but bring him back to the pros see if he's
got a second win.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Hey good, more than Mike tim from Van Cleeves.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Any head coach who picked Tennessee just for the taxes alone, especially.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Harbaal trying to go to the Giants and the attacks out.
It was rear end well John, especially with New York
although the Giants play in New Jersey. I'm sticking with
Jeff on this one. It is not a dumb deal yet.
I appreciate the spirit, but pretty sure Tomlin's under contract
for another year By the Steelers, meaning they would have
to trade. Somebody would have to buy that out. Probably
(16:28):
a good chance that doesn't happen, So he's probably sitting
out for a year. We have one hundred million dollars
in cap cash. Do you know what's funny is that,
you know, you say, you say Belicheck, and I think,
I don't know. You know this, this really was a
bad year. You know, if you could convince me, you know,
I would look for him, you know, if he's if
(16:49):
he broke up with this young girl or something, you know,
something to show me he's got his life back together.
And then as quick as I had that thought, the
next thought was, well, who would say no to that? Right?
I mean, I don't think I'd get upset if he
came here and I would expect success. I would not
expect success. You really wouldn't, I think, Oh I do,
(17:09):
I would.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
And I'm starting to believe that as great a coach
as Belichick was, it was Brady.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
And what Brady did in that luck room. Well, no,
if there's any proof going into this weekend, yes it
was both. But yes they can win without both, and
they may go to the super Bowl without both. So
this is Big John and My Morning Show is your
Morning Show with Michael D. Jeffrey and Red Book.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Hey Gang, it's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB and Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you listen
live every morning. But glad you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Enjoy the day await you Thursday, January the fifteenth year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. I always love this
first hour. We haven't talked about this a long time
since the show launched, but I always call it my
platinum card listeners, because if you're up at this hour,
especially in the West Coast, but even in the Central
time Zone and to some degree in the Eastern time Zone,
(18:27):
you guys are the movers and the shakers. You're the
people that are up praying before other people are upgriping.
You're the ones that are up planning, already doing business.
You're the ones that make everything move. And I do
think that the show is a different tone in the
first hour because of that we kind of have one
on one moments and do and say things we don't
(18:49):
do later in the show. And so I want to
cover one thing very very quickly. That's personal. I wouldn't
know how to pick any of the emails that I
received throughout the day yesterday. I tried to, and when
my responses are quick, it's because it's me and I'm
in the midst of all of this. But I can't
(19:11):
tell you how. There's doctors and nurses and hospice things
and the coming at me and then arrangements and everything
that's going on, and then you know, this morning, I
was just like, oh God, how do I clear my
mind now and do the job You've given me? And
(19:31):
the verse that popped up that came to mind was
let me get to it. It's Romans. I think it's yeah,
Romans fifteen thirty. And it was the simple Paul asking
for prayer, and I just felt like it was God saying,
(19:54):
you know, this is one of those things you can't
pray yourself out of. I've got people praying for you,
and that's all that can be done right now, just
to receive it and know a lot. And my first
mind is not my church family or my and I
know my closest friends are praying, but to know that
(20:15):
all of you were there and there was one listener
in particular, I said, you got millions. It's not millions,
by the way, I don't think yet. You got millions
who love you and are praying for you. That was it.
That's the end of the story. That's the solution that
makes the tight jaw relax a lot. So from the
bottom of my heart, I thank all of you for
the sacrifice of prayer, because it's what Mom needs, it's
(20:38):
what I need, it's what our country needs, and it
is productive work to pray. So just thank you from
the bottom of the heart for all of you who
are caring and sending wonderful messages. Every time I just
take a little break, I read them, and somewhere between
God's presence, his word and your emails, I'm getting through
(21:03):
the day. So thank you. And you got a wink
from God himself who said, that's it. They're praying for you.
I'm hearing it. You just keep walking, So thank you
for that. The other is this political theater thing, and
I want to start by saying one of the things
that led to the creation of this show and the
way it is, and I think a lot of you
(21:25):
get it. It does feel different. It sounds different because
as a veteran of talk radio, I got sick of
talk radio becoming a part of the problem. I always
felt like for decades, talk radio was a last bastion
of truth, was a lone voice of reason, was the
(21:50):
only thing that gave a silver lining of hope. And
then I saw talk radio play shirts and skins just
like talk TV, just like partisan politics and interest groups.
And that's where you where you get lines like don't
(22:12):
you think it's time? Things become a conversation again, a
cheesy management meeting we were in one time, but it
made so much sense. If I use one finger, I
can only poke so hard, but I make a fist,
I can punch right through the wall. We are so
(22:34):
much more effective, reasonable, well thought when we're together. Even
some silly conversation about a coach, Big John of course,
fanning the fames of delusion, of grandeur and false hope,
and Jeffrey that he's come back. It's still possible we
could get harball. Yeah, this just did Big John. I
(22:57):
think God Vrabel's gonna leave this weekend.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
He says, I don't know, Jeff, but I'm getting some
texts that it's a done deal with the Giants.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's a dundee. I just said, I'm crying, and then
I was like, we're going to Tomlin. And then a
caller calls it and says, well, you know, he's got a
year left. And all you had to say was, because
I think I even interrupted, say you got to buy
that out, or you can make a trade. It's the Titans.
We got nothing to trade. And then I thought, well
that would mean ownership decision. And then that led to
(23:25):
Jeffrey saying, you know, to quota del journalism, which didn't
even know there's such a thing as del journalisms. Do
I say all of the above that much? Well? Sometimes yeah,
I mean do I have hyper homocystinemia? Do I need
Sarah fallen? But he said, here's the all the above,
and we know this and it's so powerful. Got to
(23:46):
have a great owner, got to have a great head coach.
There is a gm in between there. You got to
have a superstar quarterback and they all got to stay
in their lane. You know what, that's a pretty good summary.
Tennessee's gonna have a great stadium. Everything else I just
don't see happening, including that great coach. You know what Belichick,
(24:08):
as one listener said, may be the best option. But
that's the collective thought. That's what's lost when you have some.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Guy the radio that thinks she knows everything. Now the
president is cutting off immigration. What about the great minds
of Somalia. They can come here and make a difference.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Wading hundred, Chavvien, Chevy, Chefi, chevity, Chevin, chevity, Chevin, give
me caught. What do you think? And they never care
what you think. They want to tell you what to think.
And we said, no, we're going back to a conversation
and we're going to go back to understanding. We're going
(24:50):
to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
And I'm going to give you one last example and
will make my political theater point. I'm not bashing like
everybody else.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Does this guy many ablish Tampa timp shmaar.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Wa a hunder championship? No, seriously, this guy misinformed Like no,
this guy reacted, not responded too soon with misinformation and
incited everybody, even told the government to get the f out. Yesterday,
(25:36):
everything sounded so different.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop
that is not helpful, go home. We cannot counter Donald
Trump's chaos with our own brand of chaos. And I
have seen thousands of people throughout our cityfully protesting. For
(26:01):
those that have peacefully protested, I applaud you. For those
that are taking the bait, you are not helping, and
you are not helping the undocumentary.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
This is so insulting to my intelligence. You wanted a
George Floyd and you created it. And Renee Good, well,
guess what with George Floyd comes, the misinformation comes, the
inciting comes, the pitting against each other, comes, those who
(26:35):
are ginned up to protest, and all the paid elements.
I am not wishing this, In fact, I'm praying against it.
But you wanted another George Floyd, you might want to
expect more burnings, more looting. It's kind of like and
(26:58):
I don't even if we're going to get to today,
but don't have to wait till tomorrow with David Sonati.
But we're getting well, we'll get some of it and
sounds of the day with Harry Entton, but we're learning
more about how people are identifying less and less as
Republican and Democrat, more and more as independent. Now they
still lean certain ways, but the same is happening with
liberal and the same is happening with conservative. Conservative brand
(27:24):
does it very well with those who love Donald Trump,
but for those that have Trump derangement, it's taken a
hit Liberalism because of people like Tim people like mer Frey,
because of what they gin up and incite and then
try to be the solution to when they're actually a
part of the problem. These dots get connected by everyday Americans.
(27:49):
Every day americans like me who just have kids that
they want to have a future, have jobs and bills,
they want to pay, parents that are dying, they want
to spend time with They don't have time for all
of this. Now, the biggest problem with the Republicans and
(28:10):
Democrats are they create the problems. The biggest problem, I
would tell you, I can't. I don't think I could
find anybody I even remotely or you should remotely respect
that wouldn't tell you. The clearest and present danger for
the United States of America is it's out of control
(28:33):
spending and debt. And they both did it. So how
can the one that is the problem then turn and
be the solution. And sometimes I hate this because I
don't want to be a part of the problem. Sometimes
it takes a mayor fry to do it in such
(28:53):
close proximity that I hope you can see that if
if you're the mayor of the municipality, public safety is
always the number one priority, So your law enforcement is
(29:14):
the first thing I'm going to judge you on. Red
said something day one to quote a redism. Why do
I have Del journalisms but you don't have redisms. Now
I'm paranoid. I got one guy telling me I say
Matrix too much. Now you're telling me I say all
the above a lot. Is it a good del journalism?
Is it a critical del journalism? Why isn't this a redism?
(29:39):
I think it's a great Oh okay, No. My joking
point was what Red said on day one. Had the
governor and mayor all stayed in their lanes and kept
their jobs and not sabotaging an other man's job, the
(30:01):
president or putting theater or partisan politics above governing, there
would have been a perimeter of local law enforcement around
the area of operations. And that woman's car doesn't have
the ability to block a street, her wife harass, and
(30:26):
then her make the split second decision. While I was
trained by organizers and agitators, they can't do anything, So
I'll just pull out, even if it means running over
one of these odes. And she's dead, And if you
want to check your heart at the door, you should
(30:50):
equally want her alive today as much as you ought
to equally say that agent had every right to not
be harassed while doing this job or nearly killed, and
that same agent was drug and nearly killed not too
many days before that. But that isn't their intent. Their
(31:19):
intent is to use anything to get you to hate
each other more and be more and more divided. How
did the George Floyd game end for everyone? How did
we become a more perfect union in how the George
(31:39):
Floyd situation played out? I guess the only differential twist
to this is hate your federal government agencies, not your
local police. But I hope somewhere there's a police chief
in Minnesota going, gee, maybe we shouldn't have been taking
a political stance. Maybe we should have been protecting this perimeter,
(32:04):
because the very ones I'm called to serve and protect
ended up being the ones harmed, and that looks like
it's going to continue. But my main point is, look
at the close proximity of immediately going to a microphone,
(32:24):
immediately reacting in anger, inciting with early and certainly miss information,
inciting the very things now. So the cause of the
problem is now going to rise up to be the solution.
(32:45):
It can't incite and then call for calm because the
paid agitators, they'll take the incitement and go, they won't
take the no. This is already out of control. But
the same guy that said get the beat body here
(33:08):
and we're rising up. We're not taking anywhere now, he's saying.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That is not helpful. Go home, You stay in your
office when it happens, after it happens, stop telling who
needs to f off and stay out. You go home
might be a good first step. That's the difference. For
one of my listeners I love very much. That's the
(33:40):
difference between reaction and response. They needed a mayor, they
needed a leader, they needed a response. They got a
reaction and an incitement. They wanted another George Floyd. Well
they got it. Guess what the George Floyd doesn't end
with stop go Home, or at least it didn't when
it was George Floyd.

It's your Morning Show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
This is your Morning Show. Fifty six minutes after the hour,
President Trump is calling the recent fatal ice shooting of
a Minnesota woman sad to see from both sides.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Trump gave an interview to Reuters in the Oval Office
on Wednesday and called the shooting of Renee Good unfortunate.
The thirty seven year old was shot to death enter
car on January the seventh by an Ice agent, who
federal officials claimed was in fear of being run over.
When asked if he thought the Ice agent did the
right thing, Trump said it was a tough situation to
be in and so sad to see. When asked if
(34:31):
he would pardon the Ice agent if he was convicted
for the shooting, Trump said, We're going to have to
see what happens.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well. The US has made its first
sale of Venezuelan oil Jim Rupez Moore.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
CBS News is reporting the deal is valued at five
hundred million dollars. The exact details of the sale remain unclear,
but a Trump administration official says more sales are expected
in the coming weeks. This comes after the capture of
former Venezuelan President Nicholas Madoro by the US. In the
aftermath of that military operat the Whitehouse is set. It
(35:02):
plans to sell Venezuelan oil and control the proceeds, splitting
the money between the US government, US companies, and Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I'm Jim Roope. Contempt of Congress charges against the Clintons
will be voted on next week. That's according to Republican
Congressman James Comer, who heads up the GOP led House
committee looking into the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Speaker 10 (35:22):
We're going to vote on it in committee Wednesday, so
we're giving plenty of notice. We're having a mark up,
a regularly scheduled markup. We will mark up criminal contip
to Congress chargers for both Clintons for defying illegal subpoena.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
did not show up for their scheduled depositions this week,
accusing Republicans of selective prosecuting. The Clintons and several other
officials were subpoena and a bipartisan vote. Last summer, Joe
Jets made the list. Bottle Rock Music Festival that is
(36:04):
that'll be coming up in northern California. It is fifty
eight minutes after the hour.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
We're all in this together. This is your morning Show
with Michael del Journo.
