Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
We invite you to listen live while you're getting ready
in the morning, and to take us along for the
drive to work. But as we always say, better late
than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Good morning, Americans, It's Friday two three.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this togeld.
This is your morning show with Michael o'bill Truman.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I feel like a well oiled glove just sitting there
on the bench in the dogout waiting for a skilled
hand to slide all the way in and.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Take the field. What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I like playing ball today, all right. I told you
what my aur ring said.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Seven and a half hours equal number of deep and
rem sleep. I'm gonna get a ninety two point rating.
One thing, got a half a pack of cigarettes, a
full tank of gas. It's nighttime and I'm wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Here we go. We're gonna be another A D. D. Friday. No, No,
it's not not feel very mature today, do you.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Eight minutes after the hour, the Venezuelan opposition leader Madiat
Gottina Mujado has gifted her twenty twenty five Nobel Peace
Prize to President Trump, and of course he accepted. If
somebody want to give you their Nobel Peace Price, would
you accept it?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You kidd't mean to put that up on the mantle.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Absolutely, you would let me put that right next to
my Macaroni awards. Sure, I don't think I would tell
you that's yours. What an honor?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Somebody would feel that that influenced to give you that award?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean serious, Yeah, I don't know how I feel
about it.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Protesters are facing off against law enforcement at a federal
building in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, President Trump has threatened to go
ahead and enact the Insurrection Act, which would bring federal
troops on the ground to restore peace. For a mayor
who called for uprising and now he's calling.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
For peace and he's not getting it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
NASA has plans to roll out the Artemis two rocket
this weekend. Remember the old television show From the Earth
to the Moon. Well, now it's from the Moon to Mars,
and so that lunar surface landing is necessary to launch
on to Mars.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We'll talk more about that with Roy O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
We got winter storm warnings that are being posted for
the Midwest. Listen. I don't know how to tell you this.
If you haven't come to this conclusion yet, I pray
it happens for you. But God is real, and I
was talking to him, and you know, first we just
started reminiscing about all the times at Soldier Field and
(02:59):
the winter when we stunk and there'd be snow and
it'd be freezing, and then the walk to the car
and how cold it was. And then I started thanking
him for Walter Payton. And then one thing led to another.
I said, God, the rams probably are more ready to
move on. It would help if it was just, oh,
(03:21):
I don't know, really cold. And then look what happened.
And I didn't mean for it to happen, but it
has spread from the Midwest all the way through the
Midland at this Gold Front. So your prayers have influenced
in NFL that accidentally happened. I didn't mean, would I
be honest and how I was root for the Bears?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes, But am I like that priest went with the
Holy Water and Jinks the kicker. No, I'm just talking
to God.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
One thing led to another boom Arctic blast. Anybody want
to ask me what Matthew Stafford's record is, and I
gotta say outdoor and cold. He played for a decade
in Detroit, but they were indoors. He doesn't perform well
in the cold. I wouldn't perform well in the cold.
Nobody would perform well in that type of gold. So
(04:08):
you asked for cold in Chicago. And we have iguanas
falling from trees in Florida, and that I feel terrible about.
Don't even get me still, you know how I love lizards.
Why would you bring that out? You're kind of passive
aggressive this week. So anyway, make a long story short.
I want my microphone. I may have accidentally frozen the earth,
(04:31):
just say it. I would love to see the Bears advance,
by the way, You know how I always root for
the Bills only because one documentary that just really impacted me.
And it's kind of a sit down, you know, three
key players are there, they talk to the kicker who
missed the field goal, and then you just kind of
(04:52):
talk to the city of Buffalo, which is a city
I love.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Christy.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was wide. It was wide. You didn't
even drink.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Beautiful brother in christ by the way, But I don't
think he's ever been the same since he missed that kick.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
But you know, the people of Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Are just so amazing, and their love for this team
is so amazing. It's kind of like when the Saints
won the Super Bowl. New Orleans deserved that and Buffalo
deserves one. And I didn't think I would, but I think,
you know, coaching is a wash in that game. You've
got two of the best head football coaches in the NFL.
(05:32):
That's a wash. But there is just something about one
of those quarterbacks who could rise up and make a difference.
So I'm starting light the Buffalo Bills this weekend. I
aren't think they're rejected at the wide receiver position. Well,
here's the issue, And I say I remind everybody of
this every year, these teams that had the bye, you
(05:53):
get caught up in all the wild card storylines and magic,
and we had a lot of it, and then you
get how good the ones that were that earned the
ability to take the week off and had an extra
week to heal, an extra week to prepare, and it
tends to favor them so early on, I'm like, Sean Payton,
Nixy's a great quarterback. They got running game, they got receivers,
(06:17):
but what they really have is defense. So that's a
tough one to pick Denver and Buffalo. But I am
now heavily leaning towards the Chicago Bears in the frozen,
frigid tundra of Soldier Field.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
If that's the NFC, you think they'll make it to
the bull who's going to go in the AFC? You
think the Patriots can do?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You know, it's funny. Seattle Seahawks are one of those
teams that fit that first thing. I said that, that's
a really, really good football team that's been resting for
two weeks. I suspect they're not going to stumble and
get by San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So and then you know, if you've got the Bears
traveling to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
By the way, did you see that in Seattle they've
installed all the earthquake equipment to measure that Stadium, you know,
the twelfth Man. Yeah, they get so loud. I would
hate to see I shouldn't say that I'm on in Seattle,
but I don't. I really don't want a Seattle super Bowl.
(07:24):
So I would almost like the forty nine ers to
take them out that I think the Bears in Soldier Field,
And if you think I made it, I'll bring on
an ice age for that game.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Then the Bears have a shot.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Otherwise I think their shot at I like them to
win this weekend and lose next weekend.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
And you know it's the problem with this day and age, Michael.
If it's too cold, they won't play the game.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No they'll play.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Oh no, no, no, they've canceled games in the past.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I can't think of one game playoff.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Yes they did, Yes they did. They moved it to
another day because it was too cool.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We'll just make it cold that day. Too much for
the ice heam, you're not. There's a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know, Barack Obama, when he used to get frustrated,
would just go, you know, and yell, and then I
would do it for me and I would do the
thunder sound effect. And it was one of the greatest
days of my life. Shannon was over with her son,
and it was really a big lightning storm and I
was outside standing in the lightning doing Obama, you know,
and then the real lightning.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Was going cold.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
All the dumb things I've done in life, it's amazing.
I'm still here, all right. So we have playoff football,
and then when that's all over, you know, we got
a national championship with the Indiana Hoosiers taken on the
Miami Hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So we got a lot of sports.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I think Diamond Mikey maybe.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Because I feel taunted.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I don't want to do it, because I don't want
to cocourage anybody to gamble. But then Big John likes
to taunt me, and of course he's probably right. Always
do the opposite of my picks and you'll get a
lot of scut off, a lot of ish book. Yeah,
if I'm liking the Bears, things are looking good for
the Rams. Yeah, we'll do our picks a little bit
later on. All right, let's talk serious for a second.
(09:10):
The Pentagon is moving carrier strike units from the South
China Sea into the Middle East. This would be the
USS Lincoln and the Strike Group that would include jets,
subs at least one sub guided missile defense systems and destroyers.
So this is an escalation, and this is something to
(09:30):
be thoughtful of, watchful of, and in my case, prayer
full love. The vandalization and the stealing of that rifle
in Minneapolis that turned out to be gang members one
in particular from the Latin Kings Raur Gutierrez thirty three.
It's amazing what the left is rooting for. And then
the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Insurrection.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Act to.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Calm things down there by the way, I don't know
if well, I know Red caught it. Representative Tell Rico
is leading Jasmine Crockett in the early Emerson polling by
nine percent. You know, we always talked about the torch
being passed to AOC from Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders, who
would have gotten the nomination in twenty sixteen, would have
(10:18):
gotten the nomination in twenty twenty, probably would have got
it in twenty twenty four. They didn't give anybody a
chance to with the bait and switch with Biden and Kamala.
That torch has been passed to AOC, so I expect
AOC to have the same kind of success, and I'm
going to give you some other polling information about just
how far left the Democrat Party has gone strikingly more liberal.
(10:42):
Why because more sensible Democrats have left. And then we said, well,
Jasmine Crockett will become the new AOC. That's if she survives,
and the early numbers indicate that she may not. Speaking
of how far left the party has gone, we had
two exchanges yesterday. I don't want to play for you
real quickly. This was probably the sound of the day
(11:06):
from about one forty easter or non And this is
a air quotes journalist from the Hill asking a loaded
question of Caroline Levitt. Listen, there's not many people I
say this about. We have a sea of voices, a
sea of people that rise. We kind of narrow things down.
(11:27):
Who's the one that who's the one that looks like,
you know, like a kind of like a doctor evil,
the little short guy. Everybody on the right loves him.
He speaks on behalf of the president. I'm blank on
his name, but i'll give you an example. He's one
I don't like, and I think he's flashing the pan
and someday you won't see him again, you know, the
one that speaks from the White House all the time
(11:49):
with the bald head.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yeah, what is that dude's name?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Rtt It is your job to remember this stuff. He's confused.
Why are you confused?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
How many advisors does the president have?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
That is always on TV?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
He looks like a little tiny Yeah, but look at
your computer.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Not to god. He's busy handling weather for me.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
He's busy. Turned to go into a dundrum.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm praying, I'm praying, and blows whatever his name, it
doesn't matter. Now you've distracted the show by failure to
do your job. You're too worried about where your new
microphone clamp is going to go. I can't wait to
debut that. Actually leave his hand in there and start
clamping in the torture.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
But a little North Dakota boy, By the.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Way, are you at least washing that sweatshirt every week
before you wear it?
Speaker 7 (12:52):
All?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Somebody could email me quicker than you. In fact, the
first one that does, I'm hiring. Oh by, we've got
to rebuttal on the on the on the Buffalo kicker,
which one.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Hey, guys, Paul from Mace Arizona. I thought that kicker
from Buffalo was Scott Norwood. It was Scott. It was Norwood. Yeah, Norwood,
not not Christy Norwood.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Christie is in my mind because Christy kicks it high
and short.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's a miracle. It's a miracle.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
That's why I go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, I know Norwood was why, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
And though he's a wonderful man of faith, you know,
I think it torments him. But I mean, you go
to the super Bowl four times. That's remarkable. Four times
in a row. That may that will never happen again.
Goold you have to be to get to the super
Bowl four times in a row, and how painful it
is to lose? No, I think if the Bills played
the Bears, well, I try to root for them. Why
(13:45):
are you looking at me like I'm just waiting to
here with this? Was like like I got, like, you know,
truth sirum flowing. I'd probably still root for the Bears,
but I would really want I wouldn't care if the
Bills won.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I want the Bills to get a Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But anyway I'm gonna play. This exchange was going to say,
is there's people that come and go and then they're
the real deals. I think Scott Jennings is a real deal.
Keep your eye on him for many years to come.
Caroline Levitt is a real deal. Keep your eye on
her for many years to come. And I don't know
if the years to come mean a major voice or
(14:20):
a major candidate.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And she tears apart a Hill reporter, and I want
to combine that.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I have to say this. I'm almost officially a Bill
Mahr fan. He's one of those voices has the Democrat Party,
has liberalism goes gone so far looney tune that not
only does he make sense, he may be making more
sense than many on the right way. Do you hear
his take on media bias? And you tell me who
(14:56):
eviscerates and who describes the death journalism better, Caroline Levitt
or Bill Maher Just some of the fun we're going
to have.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, so David is classic.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
First of all, I love that my audience, and you
can always email me Michael Didiheartmedia dot com. I love
that you're both. You're all smart, Alex worse than us.
Of course you were all chiming in about Stephen Miller.
This one's hiring me, hire me, you'd have a hell
of a character and a good one, a young guy
with a nostalgic soul. Or you can just tell me
(15:37):
to chime in once in a while with some comedy.
Have a great weekend. Uh, this one cracked me up.
Brian wrote in Stephen Miller or Lutnick, Oh that we
found this. As Barack Obama would say, enough there, now
we have our sound effect. All right, quick break. What
(15:59):
does Bill and Caroline Levitt have in common? They both
get the death of journalism and they have amazing ways
of showing it. A little alone time in the Platinum
Hour on a Friday, January sixteenth, on a day and
a show that belongs to you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
Hey, y'all, it's Mike McCann, the announcer guy down in
New Orleans, and my morning show is your morning show
with Michael del Joanne.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Him Michael, and your Morning Show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five, nine
twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio five seventy
WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one thousand KTOK
in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to us
live in the morning, and of course we're so grateful
you came for the podcast. Enjoy, Rise and Shine, Sleepy Squirrel,
(17:02):
Misses and Nott. Welcome to Friday, January, the sixteenth year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Good morning. I'm going to cut to the chase on this.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We've got a winter storm warning being posted for the
Midwest all the way through the mid Atlantic, as cold
expected to just come in and dump heavy snow across
eleven states. We also have the divisional round of the
NFL playoffs that in particular Chicago or in particular the Rams,
will be affected by this. Whether protesters continue to face
(17:31):
off in Minneapolis. The President is threatening to use the
Insurrection Act to bring in law enforcement to shut this down.
And Venezuela's opposition leader, Maria Karina Muchado not only visited
the White House, she gave her twenty twenty five Nobel
Peace Price to the President. That's some of the top
stories waking up. The big thing I want you thinking about,
(17:53):
focused on and praying about. The Pentagon is moving a
carrier strike unit group from the south the China Seas
into the Middle East. That would be the USS Lincoln
and strike group that includes jets, subs, guided missile systems.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
As tensions continue to rise with a run.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
All right, I'm gonna do this for Big John real quick.
Then I want to get to the point of this.
I want I'm want to play Caroline Levitt and I
want to play Bill Maher and I want to I
want you to listen to them describe death of journalism
that we've talked about for years. But first, the Denver
bronc first of all, two great coaches in this matchup,
but the Denver Broncos at home their defense maybe being
(18:34):
the best in the NFL really makes me lean Denver
minus one and a half, but my heart cannot let go.
And I also have Josh Allen. I'm gonna take the
Bills plus one and a half, but put an asterisk
by it. I would not be surprised if I lose
this one at all. And next the next three are
(18:58):
what I would call not but money, baby.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
If you're gonna sin at least win.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love the San Francisco forty nine ers plus seven.
I love the Chicago Bears plus four, and I love
the New England Patriots at home minus three. That's just
way too much offense for Houston, and by the way,
for all of the you know ribbing of the Los
Angeles Rams and how they'll perform in frigid weather. Don't
(19:29):
forget Houston is a Southern team and a dome team
heading to a very cold New England. So my locks
of the weekend are San Francisco, New England and the Bears.
And that's two dogs and a favorite. And my heart
is going with Buffalo. But I would not be shocked
at the Broncos advance come Monday.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I'll give you just a quick foresight.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And I don't even think the Seattle Seahawks could beat
the Indiana Hoosiers at this point, let alone the Miami Hurricane.
I's loving as a that is the one of the
most talented teams and the best coach team I have
seen in three decades.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But that comes Monday, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
We were trying to have a little conversation about people
that I kind of see as flashes in the pan,
and then I went to think of you know, although
Jeffrey nailed it, he looks more like a thin Uncle
Fester or maybe Lutnick, or maybe doctor Evil. And we
couldn't think of Stephen Miller's name, and it distracted us.
But these are people that come on the scene. They're
(20:35):
probably right about what they're saying, but there's just something
about him. And then there's like people like Scott Jennings
that's a superstar. I don't know what what Scott Jennings
is going to be someday, and maybe way down the
line he's gonna be a president. I don't know. Caroline
Levitt is one of those to keep your eyes on.
And I don't know if she'll be an office holder
(20:58):
or a journal lisom restorer. But I can tell you this.
I can't and you might. Some of you might scream gutfelt,
but that's so different. I can't think of anybody that
if Fox replaced Waters, Ingram and Sean, anybody that she
(21:21):
wouldn't be better than. So I don't know what the
future holds for Caroline Levitt, but in the present she's
a force to be reckoned with. Just ask one reporter
at the Hill who decided to ask a bias loaded
question like.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
This nothing correctly. Thirty two people died, and I supposed
to be Last year, one hundred and seventy US citizens
were detained by ice and Renee Good was shot in
the head and killed by an is at. I'll just
not equate to them doing everything correctly.
Speaker 11 (21:51):
Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Are you asking me my opinion because on Ice age
indoctored recklessly until we're un justifiable.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left wing opinion. Yeah,
because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter.
You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's
so clear by the premise of your question, and you
and the people in the media who have such biases
but fake like you're a journalist.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
But you're pretending that you're a journalist, but you're a
left wing activist. And the question that you just raised
and your answer proves your bias. You should be reporting
on the facts.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You should re reporting on the cases.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens
were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE
is trying to remove from this country?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I bet you don't.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
I bet you didn't even read up on those stories.
I bet you never even read about Lake and Riley
or Jocelyn Nungray are all of the innocent Americans who
were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country,
and the brave men and women of ICE are doing
everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and
make our community safer. And shame on people like you
and the media who have a crooked view and have
(22:58):
a bias view and pretend like you're real honest journalist.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I mean, you know again, you may listen this and go, well,
she's just playing shirts and skins too, Michael, She's just
giving their narrative and you know, to some degree, technically
she isn't. That's not the point she was trying to make.
But that makes that reminds me of of Timmy Macklin. Remember,
(23:25):
the greatest victim in all of this is the son
who no longer has a mother. Now she has two
other children that she lost custody to to her first husband,
But there is a son whose father died I think
last year or two years ago, who now doesn't have
a mother. Over All this nonsense, and here's CNN setting
(23:49):
everything up like it's going to be a.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Big bash session.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
On Trump on ICE when the interview does and go
that way because this ex father in law, this grandfather
of this late woman's son, was the kind of fact based,
sensible answer that I think Caroline Levitt and her spirit
(24:17):
is really coming from.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Listen, you just.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Heard the president speak about your former daughter in law.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
What's your reaction.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Well, you know, myself, I'm a Trump supporter of so
and Renee was amazing person. I mean, she full of life,
full of joy, I mean, real gentle, a good mother.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You know.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
I just think, you know, we make bad choishes, and
you know, there's a problem. There's so much chaos in
the whole world today. And that's what the Bible says,
that my people would humber theirselves and seek His face
and pray and turn from a wiki ways God will
hear from heaven and forgive our sins and hell or lands.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And that's what we need to do.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
We need to turn to God and walk in the
spirit of God, and you know, and let him be this.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And God us wonderful answer.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And here's why not because it agrees with my narrative
or my worldview or anything else. A naysayer may say,
that's a guy that's focused on the facts. That's a
guy with skinning the game. His grandson's mother, his grandson's
his son's ex wife. Remember those circle things that we
(25:23):
used to do, and they would overlap. They were so
powerful because everybody wants to take an immediate, divisive, opposite
position and it's immovable no matter what information. What is
the proper response? I mean, we said this the other day.
Check your heart in the mirror. You ought to wish
(25:47):
she was alive. If you're thinking things like that, such
and such, she deserves to be dead. You should stare
at that video and say, please don't do this. I
don't know who genu are, but don't. I'll start. Don't
put it in drive. What are you thinking? Please don't?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh she did.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
She made a bad decision, a life threatening decision, which
forced an ice officer to have to make another decision.
And then there's a layer to that because he was
nearly killed already by one of these out of control activists.
Just a bad moment in a chaotic time. The father
(26:28):
in law handled it best. He's more of a journalist
than a victim, and the journalist he's a perpetrator, and
Caroline Levitt put him in place. There's this other very
interesting phenomenon I'm feeling if you would have tapped me
(26:48):
on the shoulder eight years ago and said, Michael, what
do you think of John Fetterman? Michael, what do you
think of Bill Maher? Do you know how different the
answer would be today than from then. Sometimes I see
(27:12):
John Fetterman and I wanna hug him. He's got way
more courage than people on the right for what he's saying.
He's walking down the via door rosa of Congressman Scott
de charlais every time he speaks with common sense, every
time he courageously speaks.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
With courage and truth.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Trust me, it's costing him and they'll probably try to
cost him his seat. And then there's Bill Maher. I
don't know that it's already happened. I'm a fan. So
we talk about death of journalism all the time. You
just heard Caroline Levitt kind of addressed death of journalism
with a Hill reporter. Here's the brilliant Bill Maher addressing
(27:59):
the death of journalism list.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
I thought as a public service, since it's so hard
to find reliable news these days, tonight I would provide
a few rules of thumb for trying to follow the
news in our modern age, starting with if the headlines
in your preferred news outlet routinely feature words like shreads, destroys, pummels, bashes.
(28:22):
Your outlet is a partisan piece of shit. Either that
or you're reading a Batman comic Jito with obliterates, roasts, annihilates,
and owns. There's supposed to be a source for information,
not Nicky Glazer at the Tom Brady Rate. Two. Any
(28:44):
news source that quotes the Internet or writes Twitter says,
or a bunch of hacks too lazy to do real journalism.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
You can pretend you.
Speaker 12 (28:53):
Wrote a piece on the zeitgeist, but what you really
did was look on your phone and quote the three
angriest people with the most.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Time on their hands. Three.
Speaker 12 (29:00):
If your news outlet consistently reduces everything that happens in
the world to who the president of America is, to
get rid of it, it's just thoughtless, reflexive team politics.
Trust me, No one lighting a tire fire in Haiti
is thinking I wouldn't have done this under Trump. But
given the weakness of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Why not.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
Every problem in the world isn't caused by the president.
When that train derailed in East Palestine, it wasn't because
Trump deregulated the breaks and the container ship didn't hit
the bridge because of Biden's woke dei agenda. These aren't
news stories, their storylines pumped into your bubble.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Four.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
Always be aware that once the news became a profit
division of media companies, they stopped being in the news
business and are now in the audience stroking business.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's huge.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
The goal is no longer to inform opinions, it's to
reinforce them. Walter Cronkite used to say, that's that's the
way it is. Now it's that's our story, and worse
they can to it. Narrative first, whole story. Never on
Fox Venezuelan migrant is always stabbing a white lady, and
on NBR where they stop bashing the rech long enough
(30:16):
only to beg for money. Jamaica is a paradise and
Nebraska is a no go zone. News Nation reported this
year that the US was on track for nearly a
three hundred percent increase in measles cases. Three hundred percent. Wow,
that sounds like it could be millions. It was thirty five.
(30:37):
Because they just want to manipulate you into clicking Look,
I have ten fingers. You want to see me suddenly
have eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Less and then he ends up giving the same I thought,
I giving the same gesture that Donald Trump recently gave famously, which,
by the way, he'll address and probay with forty seven later.
How did it happen that me and Bill maher It
busted out of the matrix and ended up in the
(31:04):
same place using almost the exact same words. You know
what my answer is, I don't know, but it gives
me a lot of hope. Well, owning a home is
amazing until it isn't right.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I mean, one minute you're sipping coffee, you're so proud
of what God has given you. In the next minute,
your ankle deep in water, a pipe is burst, and
repairs they don't care about timing. In fact, they love
to come at the worst time. And regular homeowner insurance
usually doesn't cover a lot of the day to day
where and tear, plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, and electrical issues.

It's your Morning show with Michael del Choano.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
Good Morning is a David condulphin This world is heavy
right now, but there is one in control and one
thing he created with humor.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
So how about a joke. What do you call a
boom that doesn't come back? A stick? Vincent?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
By the way, in Florida just told me there is
a technical name. I was just saying, remember those little
circle things. Those are called then diagrams. If you're just
waking up. President Trump is unveiling his healthcare plan. We
got the details now from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 14 (33:19):
A video posted on social media Thursday, Trump said its
so called Great Healthcare Plan aims to lower costs and
give money to the American people so they can buy
their own coverage. This comes as subsidies for the Affordable
Healthcare Act expired at the beginning of the year, raising
premium prices for millions of Americans. Around one point four
million less Americans have signed up for ACA plans this
year compared to the same time last year. Earlier this month,
(33:41):
the House passed a bill that would extend the tax
credits for three years.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
We kind of talked about this and laid it out yesterday,
but the President himself announced the next steps in his
plans for lasting peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 13 (33:52):
President Trump taking the truth social to announce a Board
of Peace has been formed to oversee things in Gaza
the President, saying the members of the board will be
announced soon and calling it the greatest and most prestigious
board ever assembled at any time, any place. He went
on to add that it is officially the next phase
of Gaza's twenty point piece plan.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I'm Jim Roup.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
There seems to be big bucks and derangement, bad decisions
and mistakes.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Go find me.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Donations for the suspended Ford employee who harassed the president
is now up to eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Sabula was suspended after a heckel President Trump Tuesday at
the Ford River Rouge plant in Michigan, yelling quote pedophile protector,
leading Trump to mouth and expletive Adam and flip him
off twice with his middle finger. Sabula is being paid well.
Suspended Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tleeb of Detroit called Sabula a
(34:49):
national hero and says Trump is protecting pedophiles. She called
for the Epstein files to be fully released. I'm Michael Kassner. Well,
today is my day, isn't it not? Just for a
ninety two p percent rating and sleep. Today we celebrate
my all time favorite. It's National Fig Newton Day.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Today is all about the fig filled pastry named after
a town in Massachusetts. We've been eating them since eighteen
ninety two, so we must like them. They rank nationally
as America's number three choice for cookies, behind Oreos and
Chips Away. But it's not a fair contest because those
have chocolate and fig Newtons don't. But we love them,
eating one billion every year, and the fruit makes us
(35:29):
think they're healthy, but they're not. I'm Bree Tennants.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Entheld, journo
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
We invite you to listen live while you're getting ready
in the morning, and to take us along for the
drive to work. But as we always say, better late
than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Good morning, Americans, It's Friday two three.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this togeld.
This is your morning show with Michael o'bill Truman.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I feel like a well oiled glove just sitting there
on the bench in the dogout waiting for a skilled
hand to slide all the way in and.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Take the field. What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I like playing ball today, all right. I told you
what my aur ring said.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Seven and a half hours equal number of deep and
rem sleep. I'm gonna get a ninety two point rating.
One thing, got a half a pack of cigarettes, a
full tank of gas. It's nighttime and I'm wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Here we go. We're gonna be another A D. D. Friday. No, No,
it's not not feel very mature today, do you.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Eight minutes after the hour, the Venezuelan opposition leader Madiat
Gottina Mujado has gifted her twenty twenty five Nobel Peace
Prize to President Trump, and of course he accepted. If
somebody want to give you their Nobel Peace Price, would
you accept it?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You kidd't mean to put that up on the mantle.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Absolutely, you would let me put that right next to
my Macaroni awards. Sure, I don't think I would tell
you that's yours. What an honor?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Somebody would feel that that influenced to give you that award?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean serious, Yeah, I don't know how I feel
about it.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Protesters are facing off against law enforcement at a federal
building in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, President Trump has threatened to go
ahead and enact the Insurrection Act, which would bring federal
troops on the ground to restore peace. For a mayor
who called for uprising and now he's calling.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
For peace and he's not getting it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
NASA has plans to roll out the Artemis two rocket
this weekend. Remember the old television show From the Earth
to the Moon. Well, now it's from the Moon to Mars,
and so that lunar surface landing is necessary to launch
on to Mars.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We'll talk more about that with Roy O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
We got winter storm warnings that are being posted for
the Midwest. Listen. I don't know how to tell you this.
If you haven't come to this conclusion yet, I pray
it happens for you. But God is real, and I
was talking to him, and you know, first we just
started reminiscing about all the times at Soldier Field and
(02:59):
the winter when we stunk and there'd be snow and
it'd be freezing, and then the walk to the car
and how cold it was. And then I started thanking
him for Walter Payton. And then one thing led to another.
I said, God, the rams probably are more ready to
move on. It would help if it was just, oh,
(03:21):
I don't know, really cold. And then look what happened.
And I didn't mean for it to happen, but it
has spread from the Midwest all the way through the
Midland at this Gold Front. So your prayers have influenced
in NFL that accidentally happened. I didn't mean, would I
be honest and how I was root for the Bears?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes, But am I like that priest went with the
Holy Water and Jinks the kicker. No, I'm just talking
to God.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
One thing led to another boom Arctic blast. Anybody want
to ask me what Matthew Stafford's record is, and I
gotta say outdoor and cold. He played for a decade
in Detroit, but they were indoors. He doesn't perform well
in the cold. I wouldn't perform well in the cold.
Nobody would perform well in that type of gold. So
(04:08):
you asked for cold in Chicago. And we have iguanas
falling from trees in Florida, and that I feel terrible about.
Don't even get me still, you know how I love lizards.
Why would you bring that out? You're kind of passive
aggressive this week. So anyway, make a long story short.
I want my microphone. I may have accidentally frozen the earth,
(04:31):
just say it. I would love to see the Bears advance,
by the way, You know how I always root for
the Bills only because one documentary that just really impacted me.
And it's kind of a sit down, you know, three
key players are there, they talk to the kicker who
missed the field goal, and then you just kind of
(04:52):
talk to the city of Buffalo, which is a city
I love.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Christy.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was wide. It was wide. You didn't
even drink.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Beautiful brother in christ by the way, But I don't
think he's ever been the same since he missed that kick.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
But you know, the people of Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Are just so amazing, and their love for this team
is so amazing. It's kind of like when the Saints
won the Super Bowl. New Orleans deserved that and Buffalo
deserves one. And I didn't think I would, but I think,
you know, coaching is a wash in that game. You've
got two of the best head football coaches in the NFL.
(05:32):
That's a wash. But there is just something about one
of those quarterbacks who could rise up and make a difference.
So I'm starting light the Buffalo Bills this weekend. I
aren't think they're rejected at the wide receiver position. Well,
here's the issue, And I say I remind everybody of
this every year, these teams that had the bye, you
(05:53):
get caught up in all the wild card storylines and magic,
and we had a lot of it, and then you
get how good the ones that were that earned the
ability to take the week off and had an extra
week to heal, an extra week to prepare, and it
tends to favor them so early on, I'm like, Sean Payton,
Nixy's a great quarterback. They got running game, they got receivers,
(06:17):
but what they really have is defense. So that's a
tough one to pick Denver and Buffalo. But I am
now heavily leaning towards the Chicago Bears in the frozen,
frigid tundra of Soldier Field.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
If that's the NFC, you think they'll make it to
the bull who's going to go in the AFC? You
think the Patriots can do?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You know, it's funny. Seattle Seahawks are one of those
teams that fit that first thing. I said that, that's
a really, really good football team that's been resting for
two weeks. I suspect they're not going to stumble and
get by San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So and then you know, if you've got the Bears
traveling to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
By the way, did you see that in Seattle they've
installed all the earthquake equipment to measure that Stadium, you know,
the twelfth Man. Yeah, they get so loud. I would
hate to see I shouldn't say that I'm on in Seattle,
but I don't. I really don't want a Seattle super Bowl.
(07:24):
So I would almost like the forty nine ers to
take them out that I think the Bears in Soldier Field,
And if you think I made it, I'll bring on
an ice age for that game.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Then the Bears have a shot.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Otherwise I think their shot at I like them to
win this weekend and lose next weekend.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
And you know it's the problem with this day and age, Michael.
If it's too cold, they won't play the game.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No they'll play.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Oh no, no, no, they've canceled games in the past.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I can't think of one game playoff.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Yes they did, Yes they did. They moved it to
another day because it was too cool.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We'll just make it cold that day. Too much for
the ice heam, you're not. There's a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know, Barack Obama, when he used to get frustrated,
would just go, you know, and yell, and then I
would do it for me and I would do the
thunder sound effect. And it was one of the greatest
days of my life. Shannon was over with her son,
and it was really a big lightning storm and I
was outside standing in the lightning doing Obama, you know,
and then the real lightning.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Was going cold.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
All the dumb things I've done in life, it's amazing.
I'm still here, all right. So we have playoff football,
and then when that's all over, you know, we got
a national championship with the Indiana Hoosiers taken on the
Miami Hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So we got a lot of sports.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I think Diamond Mikey maybe.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Because I feel taunted.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I don't want to do it, because I don't want
to cocourage anybody to gamble. But then Big John likes
to taunt me, and of course he's probably right. Always
do the opposite of my picks and you'll get a
lot of scut off, a lot of ish book. Yeah,
if I'm liking the Bears, things are looking good for
the Rams. Yeah, we'll do our picks a little bit
later on. All right, let's talk serious for a second.
(09:10):
The Pentagon is moving carrier strike units from the South
China Sea into the Middle East. This would be the
USS Lincoln and the Strike Group that would include jets,
subs at least one sub guided missile defense systems and destroyers.
So this is an escalation, and this is something to
(09:30):
be thoughtful of, watchful of, and in my case, prayer
full love. The vandalization and the stealing of that rifle
in Minneapolis that turned out to be gang members one
in particular from the Latin Kings Raur Gutierrez thirty three.
It's amazing what the left is rooting for. And then
the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Insurrection.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Act to.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Calm things down there by the way, I don't know
if well, I know Red caught it. Representative Tell Rico
is leading Jasmine Crockett in the early Emerson polling by
nine percent. You know, we always talked about the torch
being passed to AOC from Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders, who
would have gotten the nomination in twenty sixteen, would have
(10:18):
gotten the nomination in twenty twenty, probably would have got
it in twenty twenty four. They didn't give anybody a
chance to with the bait and switch with Biden and Kamala.
That torch has been passed to AOC, so I expect
AOC to have the same kind of success, and I'm
going to give you some other polling information about just
how far left the Democrat Party has gone strikingly more liberal.
(10:42):
Why because more sensible Democrats have left. And then we said, well,
Jasmine Crockett will become the new AOC. That's if she survives,
and the early numbers indicate that she may not. Speaking
of how far left the party has gone, we had
two exchanges yesterday. I don't want to play for you
real quickly. This was probably the sound of the day
(11:06):
from about one forty easter or non And this is
a air quotes journalist from the Hill asking a loaded
question of Caroline Levitt. Listen, there's not many people I
say this about. We have a sea of voices, a
sea of people that rise. We kind of narrow things down.
(11:27):
Who's the one that who's the one that looks like,
you know, like a kind of like a doctor evil,
the little short guy. Everybody on the right loves him.
He speaks on behalf of the president. I'm blank on
his name, but i'll give you an example. He's one
I don't like, and I think he's flashing the pan
and someday you won't see him again, you know, the
one that speaks from the White House all the time
(11:49):
with the bald head.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yeah, what is that dude's name?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Rtt It is your job to remember this stuff. He's confused.
Why are you confused?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
How many advisors does the president have?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
That is always on TV?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
He looks like a little tiny Yeah, but look at
your computer.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Not to god. He's busy handling weather for me.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
He's busy. Turned to go into a dundrum.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm praying, I'm praying, and blows whatever his name, it
doesn't matter. Now you've distracted the show by failure to
do your job. You're too worried about where your new
microphone clamp is going to go. I can't wait to
debut that. Actually leave his hand in there and start
clamping in the torture.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
But a little North Dakota boy, By the.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Way, are you at least washing that sweatshirt every week
before you wear it?
Speaker 7 (12:52):
All?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Somebody could email me quicker than you. In fact, the
first one that does, I'm hiring. Oh by, we've got
to rebuttal on the on the on the Buffalo kicker,
which one.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Hey, guys, Paul from Mace Arizona. I thought that kicker
from Buffalo was Scott Norwood. It was Scott. It was Norwood. Yeah, Norwood,
not not Christy Norwood.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Christie is in my mind because Christy kicks it high
and short.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's a miracle. It's a miracle.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
That's why I go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, I know Norwood was why, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
And though he's a wonderful man of faith, you know,
I think it torments him. But I mean, you go
to the super Bowl four times. That's remarkable. Four times
in a row. That may that will never happen again.
Goold you have to be to get to the super
Bowl four times in a row, and how painful it
is to lose? No, I think if the Bills played
the Bears, well, I try to root for them. Why
(13:45):
are you looking at me like I'm just waiting to
here with this? Was like like I got, like, you know,
truth sirum flowing. I'd probably still root for the Bears,
but I would really want I wouldn't care if the
Bills won.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
I want the Bills to get a Bowl.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
But anyway I'm gonna play. This exchange was going to say,
is there's people that come and go and then they're
the real deals. I think Scott Jennings is a real deal.
Keep your eye on him for many years to come.
Caroline Levitt is a real deal. Keep your eye on
her for many years to come. And I don't know
if the years to come mean a major voice or
(14:20):
a major candidate.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And she tears apart a Hill reporter, and I want
to combine that.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I have to say this. I'm almost officially a Bill
Mahr fan. He's one of those voices has the Democrat Party,
has liberalism goes gone so far looney tune that not
only does he make sense, he may be making more
sense than many on the right way. Do you hear
his take on media bias? And you tell me who
(14:56):
eviscerates and who describes the death journalism better, Caroline Levitt
or Bill Maher Just some of the fun we're going
to have.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, so David is classic.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
First of all, I love that my audience, and you
can always email me Michael Didiheartmedia dot com. I love
that you're both. You're all smart, Alex worse than us.
Of course you were all chiming in about Stephen Miller.
This one's hiring me, hire me, you'd have a hell
of a character and a good one, a young guy
with a nostalgic soul. Or you can just tell me
(15:37):
to chime in once in a while with some comedy.
Have a great weekend. Uh, this one cracked me up.
Brian wrote in Stephen Miller or Lutnick, Oh that we
found this. As Barack Obama would say, enough there, now
we have our sound effect. All right, quick break. What
(15:59):
does Bill and Caroline Levitt have in common? They both
get the death of journalism and they have amazing ways
of showing it. A little alone time in the Platinum
Hour on a Friday, January sixteenth, on a day and
a show that belongs to you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
Hey, y'all, it's Mike McCann, the announcer guy down in
New Orleans, and my morning show is your morning show
with Michael del Joanne.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Him Michael, and your Morning Show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five, nine
twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio five seventy
WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one thousand KTOK
in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to us
live in the morning, and of course we're so grateful
you came for the podcast. Enjoy, Rise and Shine, Sleepy Squirrel,
(17:02):
Misses and Nott. Welcome to Friday, January, the sixteenth year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Good morning. I'm going to cut to the chase on this.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We've got a winter storm warning being posted for the
Midwest all the way through the mid Atlantic, as cold
expected to just come in and dump heavy snow across
eleven states. We also have the divisional round of the
NFL playoffs that in particular Chicago or in particular the Rams,
will be affected by this. Whether protesters continue to face
(17:31):
off in Minneapolis. The President is threatening to use the
Insurrection Act to bring in law enforcement to shut this down.
And Venezuela's opposition leader, Maria Karina Muchado not only visited
the White House, she gave her twenty twenty five Nobel
Peace Price to the President. That's some of the top
stories waking up. The big thing I want you thinking about,
(17:53):
focused on and praying about. The Pentagon is moving a
carrier strike unit group from the south the China Seas
into the Middle East. That would be the USS Lincoln
and strike group that includes jets, subs, guided missile systems.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
As tensions continue to rise with a run.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
All right, I'm gonna do this for Big John real quick.
Then I want to get to the point of this.
I want I'm want to play Caroline Levitt and I
want to play Bill Maher and I want to I
want you to listen to them describe death of journalism
that we've talked about for years. But first, the Denver
bronc first of all, two great coaches in this matchup,
but the Denver Broncos at home their defense maybe being
(18:34):
the best in the NFL really makes me lean Denver
minus one and a half, but my heart cannot let go.
And I also have Josh Allen. I'm gonna take the
Bills plus one and a half, but put an asterisk
by it. I would not be surprised if I lose
this one at all. And next the next three are
(18:58):
what I would call not but money, baby.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
If you're gonna sin at least win.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love the San Francisco forty nine ers plus seven.
I love the Chicago Bears plus four, and I love
the New England Patriots at home minus three. That's just
way too much offense for Houston, and by the way,
for all of the you know ribbing of the Los
Angeles Rams and how they'll perform in frigid weather. Don't
(19:29):
forget Houston is a Southern team and a dome team
heading to a very cold New England. So my locks
of the weekend are San Francisco, New England and the Bears.
And that's two dogs and a favorite. And my heart
is going with Buffalo. But I would not be shocked
at the Broncos advance come Monday.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I'll give you just a quick foresight.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And I don't even think the Seattle Seahawks could beat
the Indiana Hoosiers at this point, let alone the Miami Hurricane.
I's loving as a that is the one of the
most talented teams and the best coach team I have
seen in three decades.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But that comes Monday, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
We were trying to have a little conversation about people
that I kind of see as flashes in the pan,
and then I went to think of you know, although
Jeffrey nailed it, he looks more like a thin Uncle
Fester or maybe Lutnick, or maybe doctor Evil. And we
couldn't think of Stephen Miller's name, and it distracted us.
But these are people that come on the scene. They're
(20:35):
probably right about what they're saying, but there's just something
about him. And then there's like people like Scott Jennings
that's a superstar. I don't know what what Scott Jennings
is going to be someday, and maybe way down the
line he's gonna be a president. I don't know. Caroline
Levitt is one of those to keep your eyes on.
And I don't know if she'll be an office holder
(20:58):
or a journal lisom restorer. But I can tell you this.
I can't and you might. Some of you might scream gutfelt,
but that's so different. I can't think of anybody that
if Fox replaced Waters, Ingram and Sean, anybody that she
(21:21):
wouldn't be better than. So I don't know what the
future holds for Caroline Levitt, but in the present she's
a force to be reckoned with. Just ask one reporter
at the Hill who decided to ask a bias loaded
question like.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
This nothing correctly. Thirty two people died, and I supposed
to be Last year, one hundred and seventy US citizens
were detained by ice and Renee Good was shot in
the head and killed by an is at. I'll just
not equate to them doing everything correctly.
Speaker 11 (21:51):
Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Are you asking me my opinion because on Ice age
indoctored recklessly until we're un justifiable.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left wing opinion. Yeah,
because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter.
You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's
so clear by the premise of your question, and you
and the people in the media who have such biases
but fake like you're a journalist.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
But you're pretending that you're a journalist, but you're a
left wing activist. And the question that you just raised
and your answer proves your bias. You should be reporting
on the facts.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You should re reporting on the cases.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens
were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE
is trying to remove from this country?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I bet you don't.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
I bet you didn't even read up on those stories.
I bet you never even read about Lake and Riley
or Jocelyn Nungray are all of the innocent Americans who
were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country,
and the brave men and women of ICE are doing
everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and
make our community safer. And shame on people like you
and the media who have a crooked view and have
(22:58):
a bias view and pretend like you're real honest journalist.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I mean, you know again, you may listen this and go, well,
she's just playing shirts and skins too, Michael, She's just
giving their narrative and you know, to some degree, technically
she isn't. That's not the point she was trying to make.
But that makes that reminds me of of Timmy Macklin. Remember,
(23:25):
the greatest victim in all of this is the son
who no longer has a mother. Now she has two
other children that she lost custody to to her first husband,
But there is a son whose father died I think
last year or two years ago, who now doesn't have
a mother. Over All this nonsense, and here's CNN setting
(23:49):
everything up like it's going to be a.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Big bash session.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
On Trump on ICE when the interview does and go
that way because this ex father in law, this grandfather
of this late woman's son, was the kind of fact based,
sensible answer that I think Caroline Levitt and her spirit
(24:17):
is really coming from.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Listen, you just.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Heard the president speak about your former daughter in law.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
What's your reaction.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Well, you know, myself, I'm a Trump supporter of so
and Renee was amazing person. I mean, she full of life,
full of joy, I mean, real gentle, a good mother.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You know.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
I just think, you know, we make bad choishes, and
you know, there's a problem. There's so much chaos in
the whole world today. And that's what the Bible says,
that my people would humber theirselves and seek His face
and pray and turn from a wiki ways God will
hear from heaven and forgive our sins and hell or lands.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And that's what we need to do.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
We need to turn to God and walk in the
spirit of God, and you know, and let him be this.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And God us wonderful answer.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And here's why not because it agrees with my narrative
or my worldview or anything else. A naysayer may say,
that's a guy that's focused on the facts. That's a
guy with skinning the game. His grandson's mother, his grandson's
his son's ex wife. Remember those circle things that we
(25:23):
used to do, and they would overlap. They were so
powerful because everybody wants to take an immediate, divisive, opposite
position and it's immovable no matter what information. What is
the proper response? I mean, we said this the other day.
Check your heart in the mirror. You ought to wish
(25:47):
she was alive. If you're thinking things like that, such
and such, she deserves to be dead. You should stare
at that video and say, please don't do this. I
don't know who genu are, but don't. I'll start. Don't
put it in drive. What are you thinking? Please don't?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh she did.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
She made a bad decision, a life threatening decision, which
forced an ice officer to have to make another decision.
And then there's a layer to that because he was
nearly killed already by one of these out of control activists.
Just a bad moment in a chaotic time. The father
(26:28):
in law handled it best. He's more of a journalist
than a victim, and the journalist he's a perpetrator, and
Caroline Levitt put him in place. There's this other very
interesting phenomenon I'm feeling if you would have tapped me
(26:48):
on the shoulder eight years ago and said, Michael, what
do you think of John Fetterman? Michael, what do you
think of Bill Maher? Do you know how different the
answer would be today than from then. Sometimes I see
(27:12):
John Fetterman and I wanna hug him. He's got way
more courage than people on the right for what he's saying.
He's walking down the via door rosa of Congressman Scott
de charlais every time he speaks with common sense, every
time he courageously speaks.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
With courage and truth.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Trust me, it's costing him and they'll probably try to
cost him his seat. And then there's Bill Maher. I
don't know that it's already happened. I'm a fan. So
we talk about death of journalism all the time. You
just heard Caroline Levitt kind of addressed death of journalism
with a Hill reporter. Here's the brilliant Bill Maher addressing
(27:59):
the death of journalism list.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
I thought as a public service, since it's so hard
to find reliable news these days, tonight I would provide
a few rules of thumb for trying to follow the
news in our modern age, starting with if the headlines
in your preferred news outlet routinely feature words like shreads, destroys, pummels, bashes.
(28:22):
Your outlet is a partisan piece of shit. Either that
or you're reading a Batman comic Jito with obliterates, roasts, annihilates,
and owns. There's supposed to be a source for information,
not Nicky Glazer at the Tom Brady Rate. Two. Any
(28:44):
news source that quotes the Internet or writes Twitter says,
or a bunch of hacks too lazy to do real journalism.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
You can pretend you.
Speaker 12 (28:53):
Wrote a piece on the zeitgeist, but what you really
did was look on your phone and quote the three
angriest people with the most.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Time on their hands. Three.
Speaker 12 (29:00):
If your news outlet consistently reduces everything that happens in
the world to who the president of America is, to
get rid of it, it's just thoughtless, reflexive team politics.
Trust me, No one lighting a tire fire in Haiti
is thinking I wouldn't have done this under Trump. But
given the weakness of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Why not.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
Every problem in the world isn't caused by the president.
When that train derailed in East Palestine, it wasn't because
Trump deregulated the breaks and the container ship didn't hit
the bridge because of Biden's woke dei agenda. These aren't
news stories, their storylines pumped into your bubble.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Four.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
Always be aware that once the news became a profit
division of media companies, they stopped being in the news
business and are now in the audience stroking business.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's huge.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
The goal is no longer to inform opinions, it's to
reinforce them. Walter Cronkite used to say, that's that's the
way it is. Now it's that's our story, and worse
they can to it. Narrative first, whole story. Never on
Fox Venezuelan migrant is always stabbing a white lady, and
on NBR where they stop bashing the rech long enough
(30:16):
only to beg for money. Jamaica is a paradise and
Nebraska is a no go zone. News Nation reported this
year that the US was on track for nearly a
three hundred percent increase in measles cases. Three hundred percent. Wow,
that sounds like it could be millions. It was thirty five.
(30:37):
Because they just want to manipulate you into clicking Look,
I have ten fingers. You want to see me suddenly
have eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Less and then he ends up giving the same I thought,
I giving the same gesture that Donald Trump recently gave famously, which,
by the way, he'll address and probay with forty seven later.
How did it happen that me and Bill maher It
busted out of the matrix and ended up in the
(31:04):
same place using almost the exact same words. You know
what my answer is, I don't know, but it gives
me a lot of hope. Well, owning a home is
amazing until it isn't right.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I mean, one minute you're sipping coffee, you're so proud
of what God has given you. In the next minute,
your ankle deep in water, a pipe is burst, and
repairs they don't care about timing. In fact, they love
to come at the worst time. And regular homeowner insurance
usually doesn't cover a lot of the day to day
where and tear, plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, and electrical issues.

It's your Morning show with Michael del Choano.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
Good Morning is a David condulphin This world is heavy
right now, but there is one in control and one
thing he created with humor.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
So how about a joke. What do you call a
boom that doesn't come back? A stick? Vincent?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
By the way, in Florida just told me there is
a technical name. I was just saying, remember those little
circle things. Those are called then diagrams. If you're just
waking up. President Trump is unveiling his healthcare plan. We
got the details now from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 14 (33:19):
A video posted on social media Thursday, Trump said its
so called Great Healthcare Plan aims to lower costs and
give money to the American people so they can buy
their own coverage. This comes as subsidies for the Affordable
Healthcare Act expired at the beginning of the year, raising
premium prices for millions of Americans. Around one point four
million less Americans have signed up for ACA plans this
year compared to the same time last year. Earlier this month,
(33:41):
the House passed a bill that would extend the tax
credits for three years.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
We kind of talked about this and laid it out yesterday,
but the President himself announced the next steps in his
plans for lasting peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 13 (33:52):
President Trump taking the truth social to announce a Board
of Peace has been formed to oversee things in Gaza
the President, saying the members of the board will be
announced soon and calling it the greatest and most prestigious
board ever assembled at any time, any place. He went
on to add that it is officially the next phase
of Gaza's twenty point piece plan.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I'm Jim Roup.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
There seems to be big bucks and derangement, bad decisions
and mistakes.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Go find me.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Donations for the suspended Ford employee who harassed the president
is now up to eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Sabula was suspended after a heckel President Trump Tuesday at
the Ford River Rouge plant in Michigan, yelling quote pedophile protector,
leading Trump to mouth and expletive Adam and flip him
off twice with his middle finger. Sabula is being paid well.
Suspended Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tleeb of Detroit called Sabula a
(34:49):
national hero and says Trump is protecting pedophiles. She called
for the Epstein files to be fully released. I'm Michael Kassner. Well,
today is my day, isn't it not? Just for a
ninety two p percent rating and sleep. Today we celebrate
my all time favorite. It's National Fig Newton Day.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Today is all about the fig filled pastry named after
a town in Massachusetts. We've been eating them since eighteen
ninety two, so we must like them. They rank nationally
as America's number three choice for cookies, behind Oreos and
Chips Away. But it's not a fair contest because those
have chocolate and fig Newtons don't. But we love them,
eating one billion every year, and the fruit makes us
(35:29):
think they're healthy, but they're not. I'm Bree Tennants.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
