Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning. But glad you're here now for
the podcast Enjoy well.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Two three, starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Because we're in the stagod. This is your morning show
with michael'dil Charman. Good morning, and thank you for making
us a part of your morning routine. This is the
show that belongs to you on the air, streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jornal, honored to serve you. Jeffrey's got the sound,
Red's got the content. Clock says it's seven minutes after
(00:51):
the hour. Trump's headed to Switzerland today for the World
Economic Forum. I'm guessing Greenland might come up. The President
is not ruling out using force to acquire Greenland. The
Dutchess send about one hundred troops to try to defend Greenland.
We'll see where that goes. You add that to the
pile of Venezuela, Iran, where now five thousand have been killed.
(01:15):
In terms of protesters and President Trump calling for regime change,
we got so the billion dollar gaza board positions Minnesota
gone wild. We had to bring in our top god,
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. One hour from now, don't miss
our military and foreign policy briefing and the National Championship.
It's headed to Bloomington for the first time ever. In fact,
(01:38):
Red thought he was gonna stump me. He said. The
last time Indiana finished an NCAA season undefeated, it was
the besketball team in nineteen seventy six. I immediately said, butner,
Scottie May, I remember that lineup because in my front yard,
I didn't just play shoot baskets. I played games. I
(02:00):
was the announcer, and oh I love Scott He May
would later go on to become a Chicago Bull. All right.
In the end, the Hoosiers end up sixteen to oo
national champions twenty seven to twenty one over the Miami Hurricane.
Our national correspondent Roy O'Neil has the latest done everything
that's happening with Ice in Minneapolis, which could involve the
KKK Act being invoked for Don Lemon and for others. Meanwhile,
(02:24):
there's this big scoreboard going on, Rory, where that's just
plowing along with arrests. Christy Nomes says about ten thousand
arrests have been made in Minneapolis. It's kind of depending
on what political perspective you view the action from what
the scoreboard looks like. Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So let's start with the church protest that happened over
the weekend. We see now that the Department of Justice,
it's a civil rights attorney saying that there is an
investigation being launched because of that disruption of a church
service may violate some civil rights laws, as you cited
the KKK law there, and whether or not journalist Don Lemon,
who was apparently embedded with those anti ICE protesters, could
(03:09):
also face some scrutiny, perhaps criminal prosecution as well. That
wasn't specifically mentioned, but certainly the idea of it as
part of this ongoing investigation. As we're really not seeing
things slow down in terms of the protests or the operations,
as you said, Secretary Nome, sites that thousands of people
have been taken into custody since the push by Ice
(03:32):
into Minnesota. The list typically includes those described as the murderers,
the rapists, the child sex predators, all part of this investigation.
Although yeah, it seems America remains divided on some of
the tactics being used in these operations.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Don lemon, we shouldn't. I mean, you could speculate this
guy lost his job, nobody really is following his existence.
Found a way back into our conversation. I think I
could take a guess at what his motive is. He
spoke rather what I'm ready to move on. I'm ready
(04:12):
to move on already. Yeah, And he went on and
on about religion and American history, with religion of which
he knows nothing of what he speaks in the way
he conducts his life or exegutes history or scripture. So
that's irrelevant. I think for the left, they're wanting to
flip this on its head when it comes to the
(04:34):
New Wall Street Journal poll. When it comes to economy
and inflation, the Republicans have a six point advantage, believe
it or not, even on tariffs, a two point advantage,
foreign policy, five point advantage, and they lead big on
the border issue as well. So you wonder if this
is all a strategy to soften the strengths of the
Republicans heading into the midterm election. But it really is
Minnesota gone wild, and this is what happens in blue
(04:57):
pockets and blue states. Some would he and suggest it's
an attempt to block us from all focusing on the
fraud problems, which the Atlanta came out with a piece
this morning saying, this welfare fraud, it's a big problem
for the Democrats, all right, talk about Greenland in this visit.
They might be combined because I doubt the President's going
to get to Davos and it's not going to come up.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh no, Yeah, that's really dominating the conversation now, especially
over the weekend. The President saying, I'm true social that
eight different countries will be subjected to new tariffs. He
said last night on the Israel issue that on the
if France doesn't come on board with the peace board
that he's assembling, that could mean a two hundred percent
tariff on wines and champagnes. Seemed to be an off
(05:40):
the cuff mark there though, as so you've got Israel
and that God's a peace board on the agenda plus Greenland.
I don't know what the official plan was for Davos,
but it wasn't that. So things are certainly changing.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And politicians are getting more and more vulgar with their language.
Rio has that more in the third hour. Maybe you
can do some research for us. Rory. I'm trying to
figure out how Russian President Vladimir Putin qualified to be
invited on the President's Board of Peace. I'm just wondering
what the qualifications are for that, and how on earth
Vladimir Putin meets that. Don't forget we can't have your
(06:15):
morning show without your voice. There's a talkback button if
you're listening on the iHeart app. It's a microphone. We
actually know the guy who had invented it. It's really changed,
you know. One of the things that we said early
on was talk radio needed to become about understanding, not
about egos on the radio wanting you to worship them,
(06:36):
thinking they're smarter than you and telling you what to think. No,
a conversation where we have the goal of truth and
understanding and the ability to anticipate not only understanding what's happening,
but what's coming next. So the conversation is key. Most
(06:57):
talk stations and shows don't take calls anymore, the one
I used to orfore reads text messages. It's just so odd. Look,
you don't have to rot on hold. You're an immediate
part of this show. You're the star of this show.
Use that talkback button on your iHeart app. It's a microphone.
You press, it counts you down three to two to one,
gives you thirty seconds to make a comment or ask
(07:18):
a question, and take your place at a table this
morning that belongs to you. You can also email me
at Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. I wanted to
just finish up. We only have a couple of minutes,
but we went through this new Wall Street Journal poll
and the first big question which party is better equipped
(07:39):
to handle the body border security issue? Because that's what
we're talking about ultimately in Minnesota. Now, the story in
Minnesota specifically is how immigrants and state leftist politicians all
got rich off of your tax money. Welfare fraud, so
(08:03):
much so that the leftist Atlantics big story this morning
is welfare fraud. It's a real problem for the Democrats.
We'll get to that in a second. But this particular
poll said which party's better equipped to handle the border.
The Democrats want you to believe that Donald Trump is
a hitler like tyrant who's rounding up innocent American people
(08:26):
and using the military and police against them. Not that
they let in the millions and the drug lords and
the human traffickers and the rapists and the murderers and
the gang members with it. No, the one who sealed
the borders so that no more bad people could get in,
(08:49):
the one who's gotten two million to self deport, and
the one that's gone and found the worst violent criminals
and apprehended them. He's the problem, and they're not well.
America is not buying it. Which parties better equipped to
handle the border security? The Republicans by a whopping twenty
eight point margin forty eight to twenty. Republicans had an
(09:12):
eleven point advantage on immigration as well as the border,
So immigration and border huge. Even though they're playing out
this political theater, that's the opposite. They're trying to tell
you America's unaffordable and Donald Trump is the problem. America
doesn't buy it. They trust the Republicans by six percentage
points on the economy and of inflation. Foreign policy, when
(09:38):
it plucked out the president of Venezuela, he's trying to
evade Greenland. This guy's crazy, He's a nut. Foreign policy,
the Republicans have a five point advantage on Russia and Ukraine,
a four point advantage. You're probably wondering, is there any
of the Democrats lead in Yes, vaccines and healthcare.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know if the vaccines are going to be
a driving issue in the midterm election or the presidential
election in twenty eight, but they have a nine point advantage.
And on healthcare, you know Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act
that isn't affordable, designed to ensure everyone and only missed
by twenty million, make premiums more affordable. They weren't. It
(10:20):
was a scam to use subsidies to get them to
take something they wouldn't buy because the premiums were just
the opposite. And improve care look again, and they got
a fifteen point advantage. I will tell you in all
of that, I'm also in all of the fact that
on tariffs they trust Republicans by two percentage points. I
don't even favor the tariffs. Still, this is the point
(10:45):
I want to make still, on the generic congressional ballot,
DEMS had a forty seven to forty three percent edge
over the Republicans, despite the public siding with the GOP.
And I think we can all agree in language the
top issues. Do I need to ever as long as
(11:11):
I live, ever make the narrative case, the death of
journalism case, the social dilemma case, or the matrix case.
Again than that, that is perception over reality, That is
narrative over truth, issue by issue, Oh, of course I
(11:39):
trust the Republicans more than the Democrats overall generic congressional
ballot heading into a midterm election a four point advantage. Now,
that would only make sense if vaccines in healthcare was
everything we were talking about, and if vaccines in healthcare
were the clear and present danger and not inflation, the economy, debt, tariffs,
(12:05):
foreign policy wars, rumors of wars, a porous, dangerous border.
I used to love to smoke, and I don't want
to put that might pipe either. What a truth of
the day. The only thing left shocking in life is
the truth, all right. Everyone forgets things now and then,
usually a name, sometimes a word. Sometimes you walk into
(12:27):
a room you don't remember why you went in. There
happens to all of us. Don't panic. But if those
slips start happening more and more often, it might be
time to support your brain health in a more targeted way.

Can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's start
with you Lid You Lid You You Love Me Morning. Michael.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Carl Higby on Newsmax last night did a great job
of breaking down the reasons why Trump wants to acquire,
not steal, green Lands. I think if for Americans realize
the benefit not only for America but for the world,
and the security that how are acquiring Greenland would have,
(14:04):
there'd be a lot less controversy over it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I will say this. We're gonna have Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafano on next hour. I'm gonna point playing cask
co and and give him the opportunity explain to everyone
the reality of Greenland, the history of Greenland, the strategic
interest in Greenland. But you know, Julie, they're not interested
in that. Nobody's interested in trusting you with information and
(14:28):
arriving at your own conclusion. They're interested in narratives, vacuums,
and maintaining political power. Our illness, Our illness is far
more dangerous than the diseases that are around us. Uh
(14:49):
Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with Zah.
The dun't lemon thing.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I mean, he's proved he's an idiot over and over again,
and this was just a ploy to get him fifteen
more minutes. Unfortunately, he will be forgot real soon.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Man.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Hopefully he does get some prosecution. This stuff has to end.
People have to start getting arrested.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Well, let me say it a different way. What do
you do to restore law and order and force the law?
You're right, arrest them, arrest them. But don Lemon, he
said that church wasn't his brand of Christianity. I don't
think no one has ever looked more like you know,
(15:37):
we always talk about the one thief on the cross
that Jesus said, this day you'll be with me in paradise.
Don Lemon sounded like the other one, mocking, like let's
take our our. I mean, I don't think Jesus was
his brand of Christianity either. All right, if you're just
waking up, the president has headed to Switzerland. I don't
think they're going to be discussing global warming. No, I
(15:59):
think they'll I'll be talking a lot about Greenland and
Davos Department Hall. Am Security Secretary Christi Noma says about
ten thousand people have been arrested in Minneapolis. You know,
the law moves forward even with the political theater. Supreme
Court could rule as soon as today on the legality
of President Trump's global tariffs, and the National Championship headed
to Bloomington for the first time ever for football. The
(16:22):
Hoosiers took down the Hurricane twenty seven to twenty one.
Head coach Kurt Signetti says they pulled off the ultimate season.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
They overcame a lot on the road, in a lot
of tight games and found a way to get it done.
And we're sixteen to oh and we're I guess we're
twenty seven and two fins Indiana, but we're sixteen and O.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I do have to acknowledge Miami's Mark Fletcher one hundred
and twelve yards two touchdowns, Malachi Tony one hundred and
twenty two yards receiving with a touchdown. A team beats
individuals every time. Birthdays today Apollo eleven, astronaut Buzz Aldron,
second man to put his feet on the moon, ninety
seven years old today. Comedian Bill Maher is seventy one.
(17:03):
Nikki hay Nikkie fifty five and kisses Paul Stanley seventy four.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you
were born and thanks for making us a part of
your big day.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
My name is Joey from Goodyear, Arizona, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard weekday mornings
in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis, in Nashville, Tennessee,
and we got you covered in California, San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine or thrilled you here now enjoy the podcast.
Thanks for bringing us along with you and thanks for
being a part of the show. Let's start in Saint
(17:49):
Louis with Keith. Keith in Saint Louis, Michael, the the
tariffs are decides to make a parallel economy and to
bypass the big banks. That's my opinion. And they're very good.
They're very good. Well, they are short term, very painful.
Look short term, long term. A tariff is always a tax,
(18:11):
and a tax is always paid. For by being passed
on to the consumer and we're fighting debt and inflation.
Or it's always paid for by less expansion of a company.
If the company eats it, they're going to hire less,
expand less. They have less capital to do it, and
if they pass it on to you, you pay more
(18:32):
now in the long run. Does it even the playing field,
which is something that's bothered Donald Trump for long before
he ever even thought about running for president. Yes, but
that's if you continue in that. We don't live in
those kinds of cycles. You may have a Democrat president
for the start of twenty twenty nine, so you can't
say it's a good thing. You're not there yet. I'll
(18:55):
get to Tom and Debbie in a moment. But our
White House correspondent John Decker is here and read asked
me a question, off, Are you headed to Switzerland?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I think you're waiting here at home, aren't you, John.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, I'm not heading to Switzerland. If I was, i'd
probably already be there. Yeah, i'd be gone.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
No.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Today, you know, I'm interviewing a number of Cabinet secretaries
here at the White House to mark the one year
anniversary of President Trump's return for his second term, So
looking forward to that, and of course, as it relates
to what they will tut they'll certainly tout the low
numbers of individuals coming into the US illegally from our
(19:33):
southern border, and also the passage of that big beautiful bill.
Those are the big promises that the president made, and
he achieved them in his first year in office.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You gotta admit whether you love him or hate him,
whether you've made him a god and you shouldn't, or
the devil himself and you shouldn't. I got a lot
done in a year, didn't he.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Well, yeah, that's the stuff in terms of domestic policy.
But let's not forget the president also was able to
bring about an end to that long war between Israel
and Hamas, and of course we're now entering phase two
of that peace deal. Of course, what has been elusive
is trying to bring an end to the war that
(20:16):
has been ongoing for nearly four years now involving Russia
and Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
It's funny you bring that up. Russian President Vladimir Putin
is being invited to join President Trump's Board of Peace
and I'm just wondering, in what world does Vladimir Putin
have the qualifications to be on a board called peace.
But that's the unfinished I agree, yeah, I message a joke.
The unfinished business is Russia, Ukraine uh Aaran is a
(20:42):
work in progress Phase two in the Middle East. We
had a lot of the last four months be about
the war on drugs, which led to Venezuela and now Greenland.
We had a listener call in and discuss how on
Newsmax there was a guest to really explain the history
of Greenland and what used to be always known and
(21:04):
allowed in Greenland and how that's been diminished and why
it's strategically important. Have you ever seen an issue that's
been kind of more narrativized than this. It's like nobody
even wants to look at things like history and facts
or even way in on it. They just want to
take a position based on side. It's it's just a
reminder of our social dilemma, presidential worship matrix. All that
(21:32):
is far worse than the issues we're facing.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Well, look, you know, it's an issue that the president
continues to talk about, continues to post on social media
about answer questions about it's upset our EU and NATO allies,
and it's going to be a major topic of discussion
when the President does travel this evening for the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The President has already indicated that,
(21:58):
and one of the individuals that will certainly advocate on
behalf of those European countries will be the NATO Secretary General,
Mark Ruda, who's become an ally of the President and
at the same time I think understands the President really
well as it relates to how to deal with him
and how to deal with difficult issues regarding the NATO alliance.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
John Decker is our White House correspondent, joining us from
our nation's capital. On that front, you had the President literally,
I guess truth social posting. I want to use a
phrase retweet, but we can't say retweet because don't tweet anymore.
There's no longer Twitter. But the actual French leader's message
(22:40):
to him, which I thought was strange, and then the
President taking the argument to truth social I think we
sent the speaker Johnson to really massage things in Britain,
which matters very much, and he did a very effective
job speaking to them and reminding them of our relationship
totality in terms of history. But it'll be the president's
(23:03):
job to make this case Endavos right, Oh, absolutely, it
will be.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
He's the person who speaks on foreign policy for our country,
and he has upset a lot of our NATO allies
over the course of the past few weeks regarding what
his desire is, which is to make Greenland a part
of US territory. I always have to remind people that
is the nineteen fifty one agreement between the United States
(23:29):
and Denmark allows the US to establish as many military
bases and military installations on Greenland as the US wants,
So the president can certainly get what he wants without
having to anger or upset a lot of our NATO allies.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Which could very well be the ultimate strategy, right unless
unless he needs you to brief him on that, and
I don't think he does. By the way, if you
want to hear more from John Decker, he's going to
be really putting the first year of the second term
of Donald Trump into perspective. The White House Briefing Room
is a daily podcast must It'll be released about nine
(24:07):
eastern eighth Central on your iHeartRadio app and when you
find it, make it a preset that way. It's waiting
for you every morning. We'll talk tomorrow. John. Good to
have you back. Thanks Michael, you got it. Forty two
minutes after the hour. Let's get back to the callers.
This is Tom and I can't even read my own writing.
I'm not sure where Tom is. Oh Sierravista. And he
(24:29):
makes a point I thought of immediately. You know, as
Don Lemon didn't take his protesters into a mosque, did they?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Why do I feel like if those protesters had gone
into a mosque and interrupted a service there, Tim Walls
would never shut up about it.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, I just you know, I've always had a different take,
which is I wish, you know, the Body of Christ
would stop hiding in its own buildings and go out
and be salt and light. Maybe if the church left
its building and went out to the streets and the polls,
things will look a lot different in America. But yeah,
there's no question they don't pull those stunts. I think
(25:06):
it was Gouttfeldt who's getting a lot of online traction
with his line from the Party and worldview of safe space.
They invade a church. Now, what I like about that
comment is people go to church to worship God, not
discuss politics, certainly not be a part of a political debate.
(25:28):
And if they wanted to, they'd go to the streets
where it's being had so from the makers of safe
space they invaded. But that's a really I get why
it's a truth bomb. I get why it gets social
media traction. But if that's an oh wow moment for you,
you really don't realize the illness of the hour. See,
(25:50):
there are no goal posts, there are no goal lines
and end zones. There is no out of bounds in
moral relativism. Relative you really almost can't have goose gander
hypocrisy that you think you caught them in because they
don't care. They're not a worldview based on truth. They're
(26:15):
not a worldview based on order. It's a mob, and
it behaves like a mob, and it wouldn't even know.
Like a parasite, it doesn't even know if it wins,
it kills the host, and it dies with it. It
(26:37):
just keeps marching on. I'll tell you something that struck
me this week, and I've noticed it before, but not
like this. It was a viral video of the protests
of Minneapolis and the reaction to the American flag and
this individual has an American flag. I'm sixty one years old.
(26:59):
I've been around America and flags my whole life. They
behave like they're on a battlefield and the closing defining
moments of war, trying to seize the flag and own
the land. This guy is a flag and they're chasing
the person with the flag. And I had the image
(27:19):
of and by the way, it doesn't hold up. Don't
try to watch as they may watch The Exorcists lately.
It just doesn't hold up. It ages out. It's almost cheesy.
But when the Exorcist came out, exorcistem was acting exercise
to actually omen the guy in the omens. That was horrible. Yeah,
but these leftists in Minneapolis were reacting to the flag
(27:46):
the way Linda Blair possessed was acting over Holy Water
and across. It was just it really struck me bizarre.
I don't know what you're dealing with worldview, possessed, paid for, possessed,
mentally unstable, possessed. But it's Minnesota, Nott and wild. These
(28:11):
are crazy people and you're expecting them to, you know,
get truth bombs like from the people of Safe Space.
Is it's momentarily in relative It's like the cancel culture.
They'll cancel you, but they won't cancel themselves. But I'm sorry, Red.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Oh No, I was just going to quote a Michaelism
all of the above.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Can we get the referee, specifically from the Denver Broncos
Buffalo Bills game, to get us a ruling on whether
or not that's a Michaelism. Debbie with the final say
of this segment, I heard a great tweet about Don Lemon.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
If life gives you Don Lemons, make lemonade.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
But don't forget the ice. Have a great day. Thank you,
Debbie Bom. Your Morning show with Michael del Chino coming
up next half hour. I'm gonna play a clip from
Don Lemon talking about American history and the Church and Christianity,
and then just watch David Zanatti's head explode. Don't miss
(29:15):
that next half hour. Also, James Carafano, our Lieutenant colonel
with our military Foreign policy briefing just fifteen minutes away.
While the National Championship is headed to Bloomington for the
first time ever, Wosiers took down the Hurricane twenty seven
to twenty one last night. Fernendo Mendo's dove for a
key rushing touchdown on a fourth down that most wouldn't
(29:37):
have had the bigger than a giraffe to go for,
but Kurt Signetti did, and the Heisman Trophy winner ended
up winning the national championship with his legs, not his arm.
He talked about the play after the game. I took
the drop, and it wasn't the perfect coverage for it,
but I trust my lineman and everybody in that entire
offense and entire team had a gritty performance today and
we're all putting our boys on the line. So at
(29:58):
the least I could do for my brother's Dear Lord,
I love this brother, love this kid. Please don't make
him be a raider. Find a way, find a way
where there is no way, make him a Cleveland Brown.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes says over ten
thousand arrests have been made in Minneapolis.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Zoom took to ex on Monday to say over ten
thousand arrests were made of what she called criminal illegal
aliens who are killing Americans, hurting children, and reigning terror
in Minneapolis. The Pentagon is waiting potential orders to send
about fifteen hundred troops to Minnesota. It comes as anti
ICE protests continue in the state after the deadly shooting
of Renee Good by an ancient President Trump has said
(30:40):
he may invoke the Insurrection Act as a result of
the unrest. However, on Friday, he said he may not
use it anymore. I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well leftist trouble makers in Chicago don't want leftist troublemakers
and fraudulent political leaders to get all the attention. They're
speaking out against ICE too.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
A group that included Illinois Lieutenant Governor Jilliana Stratton condemned
ICE operations during the annual Rainbow Push Martin Luther King
Junior Breakfast.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
This is our moment to choose courage over comfort, to
choose faith over fear.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
The leaders also called for an end to racial injustice,
economic inequality, and educational inequities. That Breakfast raises funds for
scholarships and recognizes people who carry on doctor King's mission.
I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Speaking of inequities. Billionaires are getting richer than ever.
Speaker 11 (31:28):
A new report by the global charity group Oxfam shows
billionaire's wealth has risen sharply to a record high of
more than eighteen trillion dollars. The number of billionaires also
grew to more than three thousand last year, with their
collective fortunes increasing by sixteen percent. OXFAM also said they
super rich often used their wealth to gain political power
and media ownership, citing Elon Musk as an example. Meanwhile,
(31:51):
the report noted poverty reduction has slowed to levels similar
to where they were in twenty nineteen. I'm Michael Casner,
Never Mind Jail.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Timothy busy Field is going to be edited out of
his upcoming Amazon MGM film. Jim Roop reports.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
Bus Field being cut out comes after charges were filed
against him alleging two counts of criminal sexual contact with
a minor and child abuse. Amazons You Deserve each Other
shows Busfield as a top build actor on the project,
alongside Penn Badgery and Meghan Fahey. This is the second
project involving Busfield to be affected as an episode of
Law and Order SVU was pulled from airing after those
(32:27):
allegations came out. I'm Jim.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I believe it was nineteen seventy eight or seventy nine.
There was a knock on the door, Brother Vic and
I came to the door and opened it. There stood
three girl Scouts. One said, uh hi over the grot
Scouts cooks. And my brother in her voice, said, of
(32:50):
cookys do you have? And so what we got? We
got fudch cookies, sugar cookeys there was always, she said,
sugar cookey. And with a pocket full of drug money,
we bought seventeen boxes. And it's that time of year again,
Girl Scout Cookies. Mark Mayfield has all the details.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
This year, they've added a new cookie made of chocolate,
marshmallow and coasted almond cream called Explore Moores. Toast Yay
and s'mores were discontinued last year. Money rais goes towards
leadership and entrepreneurial development programs for Girls. Cookies are available
at local booths and through their website through mid March.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Did I mention that the Indiana Hoosiers
are the national champions winning over the Miami Hurricane last
night twenty seven to twenty I do have to point
this out. Mark Fletcher one hundred and twelve yards and
two touchdowns for the Hurricane. Malachai Tony one hundred and
twenty two yards receiving in a touchdown. There were some
outstanding performances, and I don't think anybody but the Indiana
(33:51):
Hoosiers were going to get out of that game alive
against Miami. They were a great team. It was a
great game, but it ends a perfect season for the
Hoosiers sixteen to er to win. Last night thunder by
thirty two over the Cavs. On the hardwood, our Pistons
barely hung on one O four one to oh three
over the Celtics, Suns by nine over the nets. The
Warriors beat the Heat one thirty five, one twelve. On
(34:12):
the ice, Buffalo Sabers lost tutle one to the Gaines
Penguins six y three over to cracking. And why am
I doing Chicago Voice for Hockey because my friend Pete
Cristiano last night sends me U PCA from the Cubbies
was at the Hawks game, to which I replied, you're
watching hockey and not the National Championship. I think something
(34:35):
happens in that cold. For decades living in Chicago's hei you.
That's my favorite sport. But you got another seven months.
Ducks five to three over the Rangers. We're all in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael ndheld Choo,
Hey, gang, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning. But glad you're here now for
the podcast Enjoy well.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Two three, starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Because we're in the stagod. This is your morning show
with michael'dil Charman. Good morning, and thank you for making
us a part of your morning routine. This is the
show that belongs to you on the air, streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jornal, honored to serve you. Jeffrey's got the sound,
Red's got the content. Clock says it's seven minutes after
(00:51):
the hour. Trump's headed to Switzerland today for the World
Economic Forum. I'm guessing Greenland might come up. The President
is not ruling out using force to acquire Greenland. The
Dutchess send about one hundred troops to try to defend Greenland.
We'll see where that goes. You add that to the
pile of Venezuela, Iran, where now five thousand have been killed.
(01:15):
In terms of protesters and President Trump calling for regime change,
we got so the billion dollar gaza board positions Minnesota
gone wild. We had to bring in our top god,
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. One hour from now, don't miss
our military and foreign policy briefing and the National Championship.
It's headed to Bloomington for the first time ever. In fact,
(01:38):
Red thought he was gonna stump me. He said. The
last time Indiana finished an NCAA season undefeated, it was
the besketball team in nineteen seventy six. I immediately said, butner,
Scottie May, I remember that lineup because in my front yard,
I didn't just play shoot baskets. I played games. I
(02:00):
was the announcer, and oh I love Scott He May
would later go on to become a Chicago Bull. All right.
In the end, the Hoosiers end up sixteen to oo
national champions twenty seven to twenty one over the Miami Hurricane.
Our national correspondent Roy O'Neil has the latest done everything
that's happening with Ice in Minneapolis, which could involve the
KKK Act being invoked for Don Lemon and for others. Meanwhile,
(02:24):
there's this big scoreboard going on, Rory, where that's just
plowing along with arrests. Christy Nomes says about ten thousand
arrests have been made in Minneapolis. It's kind of depending
on what political perspective you view the action from what
the scoreboard looks like. Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So let's start with the church protest that happened over
the weekend. We see now that the Department of Justice,
it's a civil rights attorney saying that there is an
investigation being launched because of that disruption of a church
service may violate some civil rights laws, as you cited
the KKK law there, and whether or not journalist Don Lemon,
who was apparently embedded with those anti ICE protesters, could
(03:09):
also face some scrutiny, perhaps criminal prosecution as well. That
wasn't specifically mentioned, but certainly the idea of it as
part of this ongoing investigation. As we're really not seeing
things slow down in terms of the protests or the operations,
as you said, Secretary Nome, sites that thousands of people
have been taken into custody since the push by Ice
(03:32):
into Minnesota. The list typically includes those described as the murderers,
the rapists, the child sex predators, all part of this investigation.
Although yeah, it seems America remains divided on some of
the tactics being used in these operations.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Don lemon, we shouldn't. I mean, you could speculate this
guy lost his job, nobody really is following his existence.
Found a way back into our conversation. I think I
could take a guess at what his motive is. He
spoke rather what I'm ready to move on. I'm ready
(04:12):
to move on already. Yeah, And he went on and
on about religion and American history, with religion of which
he knows nothing of what he speaks in the way
he conducts his life or exegutes history or scripture. So
that's irrelevant. I think for the left, they're wanting to
flip this on its head when it comes to the
(04:34):
New Wall Street Journal poll. When it comes to economy
and inflation, the Republicans have a six point advantage, believe
it or not, even on tariffs, a two point advantage,
foreign policy, five point advantage, and they lead big on
the border issue as well. So you wonder if this
is all a strategy to soften the strengths of the
Republicans heading into the midterm election. But it really is
Minnesota gone wild, and this is what happens in blue
(04:57):
pockets and blue states. Some would he and suggest it's
an attempt to block us from all focusing on the
fraud problems, which the Atlanta came out with a piece
this morning saying, this welfare fraud, it's a big problem
for the Democrats, all right, talk about Greenland in this visit.
They might be combined because I doubt the President's going
to get to Davos and it's not going to come up.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh no, Yeah, that's really dominating the conversation now, especially
over the weekend. The President saying, I'm true social that
eight different countries will be subjected to new tariffs. He
said last night on the Israel issue that on the
if France doesn't come on board with the peace board
that he's assembling, that could mean a two hundred percent
tariff on wines and champagnes. Seemed to be an off
(05:40):
the cuff mark there though, as so you've got Israel
and that God's a peace board on the agenda plus Greenland.
I don't know what the official plan was for Davos,
but it wasn't that. So things are certainly changing.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And politicians are getting more and more vulgar with their language.
Rio has that more in the third hour. Maybe you
can do some research for us. Rory. I'm trying to
figure out how Russian President Vladimir Putin qualified to be
invited on the President's Board of Peace. I'm just wondering
what the qualifications are for that, and how on earth
Vladimir Putin meets that. Don't forget we can't have your
(06:15):
morning show without your voice. There's a talkback button if
you're listening on the iHeart app. It's a microphone. We
actually know the guy who had invented it. It's really changed,
you know. One of the things that we said early
on was talk radio needed to become about understanding, not
about egos on the radio wanting you to worship them,
(06:36):
thinking they're smarter than you and telling you what to think. No,
a conversation where we have the goal of truth and
understanding and the ability to anticipate not only understanding what's happening,
but what's coming next. So the conversation is key. Most
(06:57):
talk stations and shows don't take calls anymore, the one
I used to orfore reads text messages. It's just so odd. Look,
you don't have to rot on hold. You're an immediate
part of this show. You're the star of this show.
Use that talkback button on your iHeart app. It's a microphone.
You press, it counts you down three to two to one,
gives you thirty seconds to make a comment or ask
(07:18):
a question, and take your place at a table this
morning that belongs to you. You can also email me
at Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. I wanted to
just finish up. We only have a couple of minutes,
but we went through this new Wall Street Journal poll
and the first big question which party is better equipped
(07:39):
to handle the body border security issue? Because that's what
we're talking about ultimately in Minnesota. Now, the story in
Minnesota specifically is how immigrants and state leftist politicians all
got rich off of your tax money. Welfare fraud, so
(08:03):
much so that the leftist Atlantics big story this morning
is welfare fraud. It's a real problem for the Democrats.
We'll get to that in a second. But this particular
poll said which party's better equipped to handle the border.
The Democrats want you to believe that Donald Trump is
a hitler like tyrant who's rounding up innocent American people
(08:26):
and using the military and police against them. Not that
they let in the millions and the drug lords and
the human traffickers and the rapists and the murderers and
the gang members with it. No, the one who sealed
the borders so that no more bad people could get in,
(08:49):
the one who's gotten two million to self deport, and
the one that's gone and found the worst violent criminals
and apprehended them. He's the problem, and they're not well.
America is not buying it. Which parties better equipped to
handle the border security? The Republicans by a whopping twenty
eight point margin forty eight to twenty. Republicans had an
(09:12):
eleven point advantage on immigration as well as the border,
So immigration and border huge. Even though they're playing out
this political theater, that's the opposite. They're trying to tell
you America's unaffordable and Donald Trump is the problem. America
doesn't buy it. They trust the Republicans by six percentage
points on the economy and of inflation. Foreign policy, when
(09:38):
it plucked out the president of Venezuela, he's trying to
evade Greenland. This guy's crazy, He's a nut. Foreign policy,
the Republicans have a five point advantage on Russia and Ukraine,
a four point advantage. You're probably wondering, is there any
of the Democrats lead in Yes, vaccines and healthcare.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know if the vaccines are going to be
a driving issue in the midterm election or the presidential
election in twenty eight, but they have a nine point advantage.
And on healthcare, you know Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act
that isn't affordable, designed to ensure everyone and only missed
by twenty million, make premiums more affordable. They weren't. It
(10:20):
was a scam to use subsidies to get them to
take something they wouldn't buy because the premiums were just
the opposite. And improve care look again, and they got
a fifteen point advantage. I will tell you in all
of that, I'm also in all of the fact that
on tariffs they trust Republicans by two percentage points. I
don't even favor the tariffs. Still, this is the point
(10:45):
I want to make still, on the generic congressional ballot,
DEMS had a forty seven to forty three percent edge
over the Republicans, despite the public siding with the GOP.
And I think we can all agree in language the
top issues. Do I need to ever as long as
(11:11):
I live, ever make the narrative case, the death of
journalism case, the social dilemma case, or the matrix case.
Again than that, that is perception over reality, That is
narrative over truth, issue by issue, Oh, of course I
(11:39):
trust the Republicans more than the Democrats overall generic congressional
ballot heading into a midterm election a four point advantage. Now,
that would only make sense if vaccines in healthcare was
everything we were talking about, and if vaccines in healthcare
were the clear and present danger and not inflation, the economy, debt, tariffs,
(12:05):
foreign policy wars, rumors of wars, a porous, dangerous border.
I used to love to smoke, and I don't want
to put that might pipe either. What a truth of
the day. The only thing left shocking in life is
the truth, all right. Everyone forgets things now and then,
usually a name, sometimes a word. Sometimes you walk into
(12:27):
a room you don't remember why you went in. There
happens to all of us. Don't panic. But if those
slips start happening more and more often, it might be
time to support your brain health in a more targeted way.

Can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's start
with you Lid You Lid You You Love Me Morning. Michael.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Carl Higby on Newsmax last night did a great job
of breaking down the reasons why Trump wants to acquire,
not steal, green Lands. I think if for Americans realize
the benefit not only for America but for the world,
and the security that how are acquiring Greenland would have,
(14:04):
there'd be a lot less controversy over it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I will say this. We're gonna have Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafano on next hour. I'm gonna point playing cask
co and and give him the opportunity explain to everyone
the reality of Greenland, the history of Greenland, the strategic
interest in Greenland. But you know, Julie, they're not interested
in that. Nobody's interested in trusting you with information and
(14:28):
arriving at your own conclusion. They're interested in narratives, vacuums,
and maintaining political power. Our illness, Our illness is far
more dangerous than the diseases that are around us. Uh
(14:49):
Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with Zah.
The dun't lemon thing.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I mean, he's proved he's an idiot over and over again,
and this was just a ploy to get him fifteen
more minutes. Unfortunately, he will be forgot real soon.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Man.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Hopefully he does get some prosecution. This stuff has to end.
People have to start getting arrested.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Well, let me say it a different way. What do
you do to restore law and order and force the law?
You're right, arrest them, arrest them. But don Lemon, he
said that church wasn't his brand of Christianity. I don't
think no one has ever looked more like you know,
(15:37):
we always talk about the one thief on the cross
that Jesus said, this day you'll be with me in paradise.
Don Lemon sounded like the other one, mocking, like let's
take our our. I mean, I don't think Jesus was
his brand of Christianity either. All right, if you're just
waking up, the president has headed to Switzerland. I don't
think they're going to be discussing global warming. No, I
(15:59):
think they'll I'll be talking a lot about Greenland and
Davos Department Hall. Am Security Secretary Christi Noma says about
ten thousand people have been arrested in Minneapolis. You know,
the law moves forward even with the political theater. Supreme
Court could rule as soon as today on the legality
of President Trump's global tariffs, and the National Championship headed
to Bloomington for the first time ever for football. The
(16:22):
Hoosiers took down the Hurricane twenty seven to twenty one.
Head coach Kurt Signetti says they pulled off the ultimate season.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
They overcame a lot on the road, in a lot
of tight games and found a way to get it done.
And we're sixteen to oh and we're I guess we're
twenty seven and two fins Indiana, but we're sixteen and O.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I do have to acknowledge Miami's Mark Fletcher one hundred
and twelve yards two touchdowns, Malachi Tony one hundred and
twenty two yards receiving with a touchdown. A team beats
individuals every time. Birthdays today Apollo eleven, astronaut Buzz Aldron,
second man to put his feet on the moon, ninety
seven years old today. Comedian Bill Maher is seventy one.
(17:03):
Nikki hay Nikkie fifty five and kisses Paul Stanley seventy four.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you
were born and thanks for making us a part of
your big day.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
My name is Joey from Goodyear, Arizona, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard weekday mornings
in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis, in Nashville, Tennessee,
and we got you covered in California, San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine or thrilled you here now enjoy the podcast.
Thanks for bringing us along with you and thanks for
being a part of the show. Let's start in Saint
(17:49):
Louis with Keith. Keith in Saint Louis, Michael, the the
tariffs are decides to make a parallel economy and to
bypass the big banks. That's my opinion. And they're very good.
They're very good. Well, they are short term, very painful.
Look short term, long term. A tariff is always a tax,
(18:11):
and a tax is always paid. For by being passed
on to the consumer and we're fighting debt and inflation.
Or it's always paid for by less expansion of a company.
If the company eats it, they're going to hire less,
expand less. They have less capital to do it, and
if they pass it on to you, you pay more
(18:32):
now in the long run. Does it even the playing field,
which is something that's bothered Donald Trump for long before
he ever even thought about running for president. Yes, but
that's if you continue in that. We don't live in
those kinds of cycles. You may have a Democrat president
for the start of twenty twenty nine, so you can't
say it's a good thing. You're not there yet. I'll
(18:55):
get to Tom and Debbie in a moment. But our
White House correspondent John Decker is here and read asked
me a question, off, Are you headed to Switzerland?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I think you're waiting here at home, aren't you, John.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, I'm not heading to Switzerland. If I was, i'd
probably already be there. Yeah, i'd be gone.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
No.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Today, you know, I'm interviewing a number of Cabinet secretaries
here at the White House to mark the one year
anniversary of President Trump's return for his second term, So
looking forward to that, and of course, as it relates
to what they will tut they'll certainly tout the low
numbers of individuals coming into the US illegally from our
(19:33):
southern border, and also the passage of that big beautiful bill.
Those are the big promises that the president made, and
he achieved them in his first year in office.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You gotta admit whether you love him or hate him,
whether you've made him a god and you shouldn't, or
the devil himself and you shouldn't. I got a lot
done in a year, didn't he.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Well, yeah, that's the stuff in terms of domestic policy.
But let's not forget the president also was able to
bring about an end to that long war between Israel
and Hamas, and of course we're now entering phase two
of that peace deal. Of course, what has been elusive
is trying to bring an end to the war that
(20:16):
has been ongoing for nearly four years now involving Russia
and Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
It's funny you bring that up. Russian President Vladimir Putin
is being invited to join President Trump's Board of Peace
and I'm just wondering, in what world does Vladimir Putin
have the qualifications to be on a board called peace.
But that's the unfinished I agree, yeah, I message a joke.
The unfinished business is Russia, Ukraine uh Aaran is a
(20:42):
work in progress Phase two in the Middle East. We
had a lot of the last four months be about
the war on drugs, which led to Venezuela and now Greenland.
We had a listener call in and discuss how on
Newsmax there was a guest to really explain the history
of Greenland and what used to be always known and
(21:04):
allowed in Greenland and how that's been diminished and why
it's strategically important. Have you ever seen an issue that's
been kind of more narrativized than this. It's like nobody
even wants to look at things like history and facts
or even way in on it. They just want to
take a position based on side. It's it's just a
reminder of our social dilemma, presidential worship matrix. All that
(21:32):
is far worse than the issues we're facing.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Well, look, you know, it's an issue that the president
continues to talk about, continues to post on social media
about answer questions about it's upset our EU and NATO allies,
and it's going to be a major topic of discussion
when the President does travel this evening for the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The President has already indicated that,
(21:58):
and one of the individuals that will certainly advocate on
behalf of those European countries will be the NATO Secretary General,
Mark Ruda, who's become an ally of the President and
at the same time I think understands the President really
well as it relates to how to deal with him
and how to deal with difficult issues regarding the NATO alliance.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
John Decker is our White House correspondent, joining us from
our nation's capital. On that front, you had the President literally,
I guess truth social posting. I want to use a
phrase retweet, but we can't say retweet because don't tweet anymore.
There's no longer Twitter. But the actual French leader's message
(22:40):
to him, which I thought was strange, and then the
President taking the argument to truth social I think we
sent the speaker Johnson to really massage things in Britain,
which matters very much, and he did a very effective
job speaking to them and reminding them of our relationship
totality in terms of history. But it'll be the president's
(23:03):
job to make this case Endavos right, Oh, absolutely, it
will be.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
He's the person who speaks on foreign policy for our country,
and he has upset a lot of our NATO allies
over the course of the past few weeks regarding what
his desire is, which is to make Greenland a part
of US territory. I always have to remind people that
is the nineteen fifty one agreement between the United States
(23:29):
and Denmark allows the US to establish as many military
bases and military installations on Greenland as the US wants,
So the president can certainly get what he wants without
having to anger or upset a lot of our NATO allies.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Which could very well be the ultimate strategy, right unless
unless he needs you to brief him on that, and
I don't think he does. By the way, if you
want to hear more from John Decker, he's going to
be really putting the first year of the second term
of Donald Trump into perspective. The White House Briefing Room
is a daily podcast must It'll be released about nine
(24:07):
eastern eighth Central on your iHeartRadio app and when you
find it, make it a preset that way. It's waiting
for you every morning. We'll talk tomorrow. John. Good to
have you back. Thanks Michael, you got it. Forty two
minutes after the hour. Let's get back to the callers.
This is Tom and I can't even read my own writing.
I'm not sure where Tom is. Oh Sierravista. And he
(24:29):
makes a point I thought of immediately. You know, as
Don Lemon didn't take his protesters into a mosque, did they?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Why do I feel like if those protesters had gone
into a mosque and interrupted a service there, Tim Walls
would never shut up about it.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, I just you know, I've always had a different take,
which is I wish, you know, the Body of Christ
would stop hiding in its own buildings and go out
and be salt and light. Maybe if the church left
its building and went out to the streets and the polls,
things will look a lot different in America. But yeah,
there's no question they don't pull those stunts. I think
(25:06):
it was Gouttfeldt who's getting a lot of online traction
with his line from the Party and worldview of safe space.
They invade a church. Now, what I like about that
comment is people go to church to worship God, not
discuss politics, certainly not be a part of a political debate.
(25:28):
And if they wanted to, they'd go to the streets
where it's being had so from the makers of safe
space they invaded. But that's a really I get why
it's a truth bomb. I get why it gets social
media traction. But if that's an oh wow moment for you,
you really don't realize the illness of the hour. See,
(25:50):
there are no goal posts, there are no goal lines
and end zones. There is no out of bounds in
moral relativism. Relative you really almost can't have goose gander
hypocrisy that you think you caught them in because they
don't care. They're not a worldview based on truth. They're
(26:15):
not a worldview based on order. It's a mob, and
it behaves like a mob, and it wouldn't even know.
Like a parasite, it doesn't even know if it wins,
it kills the host, and it dies with it. It
(26:37):
just keeps marching on. I'll tell you something that struck
me this week, and I've noticed it before, but not
like this. It was a viral video of the protests
of Minneapolis and the reaction to the American flag and
this individual has an American flag. I'm sixty one years old.
(26:59):
I've been around America and flags my whole life. They
behave like they're on a battlefield and the closing defining
moments of war, trying to seize the flag and own
the land. This guy is a flag and they're chasing
the person with the flag. And I had the image
(27:19):
of and by the way, it doesn't hold up. Don't
try to watch as they may watch The Exorcists lately.
It just doesn't hold up. It ages out. It's almost cheesy.
But when the Exorcist came out, exorcistem was acting exercise
to actually omen the guy in the omens. That was horrible. Yeah,
but these leftists in Minneapolis were reacting to the flag
(27:46):
the way Linda Blair possessed was acting over Holy Water
and across. It was just it really struck me bizarre.
I don't know what you're dealing with worldview, possessed, paid for, possessed,
mentally unstable, possessed. But it's Minnesota, Nott and wild. These
(28:11):
are crazy people and you're expecting them to, you know,
get truth bombs like from the people of Safe Space.
Is it's momentarily in relative It's like the cancel culture.
They'll cancel you, but they won't cancel themselves. But I'm sorry, Red.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Oh No, I was just going to quote a Michaelism
all of the above.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Can we get the referee, specifically from the Denver Broncos
Buffalo Bills game, to get us a ruling on whether
or not that's a Michaelism. Debbie with the final say
of this segment, I heard a great tweet about Don Lemon.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
If life gives you Don Lemons, make lemonade.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
But don't forget the ice. Have a great day. Thank you,
Debbie Bom. Your Morning show with Michael del Chino coming
up next half hour. I'm gonna play a clip from
Don Lemon talking about American history and the Church and Christianity,
and then just watch David Zanatti's head explode. Don't miss
(29:15):
that next half hour. Also, James Carafano, our Lieutenant colonel
with our military Foreign policy briefing just fifteen minutes away.
While the National Championship is headed to Bloomington for the
first time ever, Wosiers took down the Hurricane twenty seven
to twenty one last night. Fernendo Mendo's dove for a
key rushing touchdown on a fourth down that most wouldn't
(29:37):
have had the bigger than a giraffe to go for,
but Kurt Signetti did, and the Heisman Trophy winner ended
up winning the national championship with his legs, not his arm.
He talked about the play after the game. I took
the drop, and it wasn't the perfect coverage for it,
but I trust my lineman and everybody in that entire
offense and entire team had a gritty performance today and
we're all putting our boys on the line. So at
(29:58):
the least I could do for my brother's Dear Lord,
I love this brother, love this kid. Please don't make
him be a raider. Find a way, find a way
where there is no way, make him a Cleveland Brown.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes says over ten
thousand arrests have been made in Minneapolis.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Zoom took to ex on Monday to say over ten
thousand arrests were made of what she called criminal illegal
aliens who are killing Americans, hurting children, and reigning terror
in Minneapolis. The Pentagon is waiting potential orders to send
about fifteen hundred troops to Minnesota. It comes as anti
ICE protests continue in the state after the deadly shooting
of Renee Good by an ancient President Trump has said
(30:40):
he may invoke the Insurrection Act as a result of
the unrest. However, on Friday, he said he may not
use it anymore. I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well leftist trouble makers in Chicago don't want leftist troublemakers
and fraudulent political leaders to get all the attention. They're
speaking out against ICE too.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
A group that included Illinois Lieutenant Governor Jilliana Stratton condemned
ICE operations during the annual Rainbow Push Martin Luther King
Junior Breakfast.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
This is our moment to choose courage over comfort, to
choose faith over fear.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
The leaders also called for an end to racial injustice,
economic inequality, and educational inequities. That Breakfast raises funds for
scholarships and recognizes people who carry on doctor King's mission.
I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Speaking of inequities. Billionaires are getting richer than ever.
Speaker 11 (31:28):
A new report by the global charity group Oxfam shows
billionaire's wealth has risen sharply to a record high of
more than eighteen trillion dollars. The number of billionaires also
grew to more than three thousand last year, with their
collective fortunes increasing by sixteen percent. OXFAM also said they
super rich often used their wealth to gain political power
and media ownership, citing Elon Musk as an example. Meanwhile,
(31:51):
the report noted poverty reduction has slowed to levels similar
to where they were in twenty nineteen. I'm Michael Casner,
Never Mind Jail.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Timothy busy Field is going to be edited out of
his upcoming Amazon MGM film. Jim Roop reports.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
Bus Field being cut out comes after charges were filed
against him alleging two counts of criminal sexual contact with
a minor and child abuse. Amazons You Deserve each Other
shows Busfield as a top build actor on the project,
alongside Penn Badgery and Meghan Fahey. This is the second
project involving Busfield to be affected as an episode of
Law and Order SVU was pulled from airing after those
(32:27):
allegations came out. I'm Jim.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I believe it was nineteen seventy eight or seventy nine.
There was a knock on the door, Brother Vic and
I came to the door and opened it. There stood
three girl Scouts. One said, uh hi over the grot
Scouts cooks. And my brother in her voice, said, of
(32:50):
cookys do you have? And so what we got? We
got fudch cookies, sugar cookeys there was always, she said,
sugar cookey. And with a pocket full of drug money,
we bought seventeen boxes. And it's that time of year again,
Girl Scout Cookies. Mark Mayfield has all the details.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
This year, they've added a new cookie made of chocolate,
marshmallow and coasted almond cream called Explore Moores. Toast Yay
and s'mores were discontinued last year. Money rais goes towards
leadership and entrepreneurial development programs for Girls. Cookies are available
at local booths and through their website through mid March.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Did I mention that the Indiana Hoosiers
are the national champions winning over the Miami Hurricane last
night twenty seven to twenty I do have to point
this out. Mark Fletcher one hundred and twelve yards and
two touchdowns for the Hurricane. Malachai Tony one hundred and
twenty two yards receiving in a touchdown. There were some
outstanding performances, and I don't think anybody but the Indiana
(33:51):
Hoosiers were going to get out of that game alive
against Miami. They were a great team. It was a
great game, but it ends a perfect season for the
Hoosiers sixteen to er to win. Last night thunder by
thirty two over the Cavs. On the hardwood, our Pistons
barely hung on one O four one to oh three
over the Celtics, Suns by nine over the nets. The
Warriors beat the Heat one thirty five, one twelve. On
(34:12):
the ice, Buffalo Sabers lost tutle one to the Gaines
Penguins six y three over to cracking. And why am
I doing Chicago Voice for Hockey because my friend Pete
Cristiano last night sends me U PCA from the Cubbies
was at the Hawks game, to which I replied, you're
watching hockey and not the National Championship. I think something
(34:35):
happens in that cold. For decades living in Chicago's hei you.
That's my favorite sport. But you got another seven months.
Ducks five to three over the Rangers. We're all in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael ndheld Choo,
