Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio
five seventy wkb N 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.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding equal.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael, Bill Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And well prove it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You'll hear from.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Spike and Ohio, David, Joee, Saint Louis. We'll get to
your talkbacks here in a minute. It is seven minutes
after the hour. Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, January
the twenty first.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I've slept.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I got a three in wordal which I think I'm
the family leader. Still I'm doing my job quite professionally.
I'm I'm just trying to milk a tree down to Florida.
If I can't, but I want to go. Jeffrey has
not taken his Ridlan And let me tell you something
If you think Air Force one is having flight issues,
(01:10):
sit back, relax and enjoy our return. The President has
finally landed in Switzerland. He'll be three hours plus late.
They haven't even emerged yet. I see Susi Wild's hanging
around ready to come down the stairs, but I haven't
seen the President yet. Air Force one had some minor
electrical issues, had to return to Joint Bass Andrews late
last night.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They had to switch planes.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
The President is finally on the ground in Switzerland for
the big summit. Meanwhile, we've got major winter storms expected
to bring ice and snow to massive stretches of the country,
which makes Rory O'Neil's list of the best and worst
places for drivers.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Have a whole new meaning this morning. Roy has always
there's a lot that goes.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Into this deaths, which I do think is big road quality,
which is big gas prices, insurance costs. I think when
we do these stories we think of bad drivers and congestion.
But that's only a couple of the elements, right.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Right, Because as you said, there's infrastructure issues. Do you
have access to car lots, car repair shops, even car washes,
And what's the general cost of owning the vehicle in
your state, either the cost or register at the taxes,
whatever it may be. So they compile all this data
and they come up with a ranking of the fifty states.
Number one on the wallet Up survey Vermont for.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Best, not worst, for best not.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, they got a lot of tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
All right, You've got Ben and Jerry and that's about it.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So, yeah, a lot of traffic.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I've heard that, I've heard rocky road, but not that
kind of Oh nice, there you go.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Iowa, Yeah, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Indiana also making the
top five. The bottom of the barrel makes sense when
you think about it for just a second. It's because
of the high cost. Hale White comes in dead last
on the survey. Are the ones in the bottom of
the basement there Maryland, California, Montana, and Washington State.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
All right, I lived in Maryland. I don't recall the
roads being that bad. I've lived in other places like Louisiana, Oklahoma.
Not so much if you're going east to west, because
Arkansas will prep you a little.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
For it, little flat for Arkansas.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But if you're traveling let's say you're coming from Missouri
and Oklahoma. You don't need a sign to welcome you.
You will see the different color coming and you will
know the minute you're on Oklahoma Grondic and you know
you're there. Road conditions, and by the way, road conditions
can be a problem. When I was on the air Intelsa,
we were having potholes that were the size of volcanoes,
(03:49):
and so that was causing alignment issues and tire issues,
rim issues. So there are a lot of expenses. And
then I think where you have a lot of people
or a lot of accidents at higher insurance costs, they're
going up through the roof because of the value of vehicles.
And then I think it was we were surprised Montana
wouldn't be on there because I guess in Montana you
(04:11):
can go one hundred and eighty miles an hour, which
I go anyway, something.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Weird, you can go as fast as you want, essentially
within reason. I think it's nothing, something, something safe, to
something something.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I guess nothing really surprised you that much, right, or
is there anything in there digging?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
But you know, I think you know.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Tennessee came in there at number eight on the list
of Arizona twenty eight on the list. Typically I would
have thought better of the of the states that don't
have the snow and either the driving conditions or what
the snow and frost does to the roadways. Florida right
forty fourth in traffic and infrastructure, which I thought was interesting.
You know South Florida traffic that is pretty miserable, I
should say. And it's that Tampa or Lando stretch is known.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I was just going to say, and Central isn't. I
don't know how many time.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I don't know how many times they've done that area
by a deal may Brain, over by the stadium and
by the airport. They've done all those ramps like five times.
They're doing them again, and they they still haven't gotten it.
Right now, I find Florida. I find Florida roads rough.
They I feel at home. I feel like I'm in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well that's why it ranks.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
So, Yeah, came in number six overall, but the traffic
and infrastructure ranking was pretty poor for Florida.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, And I think for Tennessee it's probably just I
know that in the last Kubernatorium raced it, there was
we were what seventh, right.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Tennessee eighth overall, number one though when it comes to
the cost of ownership and maintenance, and number one in
a good way.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Forty fourth though, in safety is what dragged it down. Wow,
we drive very aggressively here. I don't want to like
speak ill of my people, but like my wife goes
under the speed limit on the interstate, Well, that is
going to make it scarier. But you know, I find
if you join them, if you just get.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
A little aggressive or a little reckless, it really flows better.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I feel safe.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
But no, we do drive very fast here, and some
people drive really crazy. But our roads are an impeccable condition.
Gas prices are good. That doesn't surprise me that we're
in We're still hanging that left lane.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's all I ask.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Just don't be left lane. Just get out of the
left lane.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Rory's going to get in the right lane.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
We're going to talk about President Trump speaking in Switzerland today,
and Wall Street remains uneasy after the tariff warnings. I
don't know how often the market's going to continue to
respond to these verbal volleys, but it did respond again yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So we'll have more with Roy in the third hour.
Great reporting, ry h.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Now all of us you know put an asterisk by
all this stuff, because once you add snow and ice,
those numbers all go out the table. And so we're
all watching this major winter storm that is coming. We're
not certain yet. We went from my wife is obsessed
with this, yours too? Mind, you will not stop watching
the videos. They can't control it. They start neesting on
(06:56):
tick tak. Yeah, she's always on the tick tac. We No,
she has this one weather service that's online only, Like Andrew,
doesn't even care what they're saying on television, right, She've
used the television meteorologists like Mad magazine. Maybe if you
fold it in half it makes a picture. But so
who are the people on I should know the name
of this site and give them a plug. They are terrific,
(07:19):
whether it's thunderstorm, severe weather, or whether it's snow. I mean,
these guys are just they got to put them on TV.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Ryan Hall, y'all is like the internet meteorologist. No, this
is something else.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
But anyway, we went from like a foot and a
half to probably just ice. So I don't know that
anybody's really got to handle on what's coming. The last
forecast I saw it starts snowing on Saturday doesn't end
on Sunday. There is going to be some ice issues,
there's going to be some power outage issues, and for
some there's going to be some massive snowfall and issues.
So we're keeping an eye on that for you as well.
(07:54):
All Right, I can't have your morning show without your voice.
Wouldn't want to have it without your voice. But we
don't rot on hold anymore like the old days in
talk radio, and we don't ignore you like the new
days of talk radio. So we have a talkback button.
If you're listening on the iHeart app, it's a microphone.
You press it. It's very professional, let me just say,
more professional than the treatment I get.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You'll get a three to two one.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You get a due over if you don't like it,
but you immediately take your place at this morning's kitchen table.
That's the key that we're having a conversation, that we're
understanding together. Or as often as the case, my listeners
are as crazy as me. Let's start with Spike, my
rock and roll drummer.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Hey, Michael, this is Spike Jefferson, Ohio.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I am in Erie, Pennsylvania right now, and it is
a wall me ten degrees.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Roads are clear no snow, so you're more than.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Welcome to come here, well, Spike, in full transparency, We're
just trying to milk a free trip from our company
and perhaps go somewhere where I could maybe golf, see
a couple of friends.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
This is mostly stick then.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Although I do think it makes sense, Like what good
does it do to put us up in a hotel
downtown that I'm stuck with you instead of my wife?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right? Number one?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Number two, if we lose power, we lose b August.
The station's got you, And to get in our parking
garage you have to go up two floors around that
are filled with ice right now after a pipe burst?
Whatever happened to Disney World having those studios where radio
broadcast could go to. I did a whole week of
shows from there. See we need to set that back up. Yeah,
that was in I think it was in Magic Kingdom, Tomorrowland.
(09:32):
Wasn't it those studios or was it Epcot? I don't remember.
I remember they were gorgeous. Me and Rick Corey did
the show from there for a week. You know we're
in trouble, guys, because Jim Cantore is coming here to
Nashville to do the well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, that's never a good sign.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
When you see him as an ick about himself, you
got to carry a sickle.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I know.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I was just thinking, out of all of our affiliates,
I think we should go to Phoenix, KFYI, or I
think we should go to Tampa.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It just makes the most any of them. Now we
are on in Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
But you know, we don't have to say that's overkill,
but I think three Southwest Airlines flights down to Tampa
makes a great deal of sense for us.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Next up is David Michael.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
It's not only the bias media. Did you see the
Portland police chief blithering and crying about his Latino neighbors.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It was appalling. Yeah, boy, that I'm fighting a memory
right now. So I was sitting in a church service
where the person speaking said, I've got I've got kids
going to school not knowing if their parents are going
to be there when they get home. I found that
(10:49):
hyperbole at best. Now again, it's all political, it's all narrative. Frankly,
it's all noise. But if you really care, if you
really care about our intent, if you really care about
(11:10):
law and order, if you really care about sovereignty. You'll
take a full approach to this. Now you know I
went through this in discussing radical Islam. Not all terrorists
are Muslims, and not all Muslims are terrorists, but a
lot of the terrorists are Muslim and for good reason.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And if you want to have an.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Intelligent conversation, we'll go through the hidith, the life of Mohammed,
will go through the surahs, and you will see that
all gods are not the same, and Mohammad wasn't all
the same. He was very tolerant and peaceful at the beginning,
then he got very political, quite frankly, a thief the caravans,
and then ultimately a bloodthirsty warrior. So first you had
(11:53):
a choice one of three hundred and sixty five religions
in Mecca. Then you didn't have a choice convert, be
enslaved text or die, period and all of that needs
to be understood. But we live in a matrix that
won't allow you to always see that, so it is very,
very frustrating. That's why we went through the earlier shameless
(12:16):
plug for the podcast the media research Tally on ABC,
NBC and CBS, and you're looking at ninety eight percent
negative coverage, and they never mention illegal immigrants, let alone
these dangerous people that are being rounded up. And yes,
it's very relevant. I always have time. You can flash
(12:39):
do your commercial all you want. I always have time.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
For Joey a coup of Michael del John, Oh the
Pizza Boy. Listen to a show, and here you will
bring you joy, news and analysis to tell you why
because Michael del John No, the super Dupa Gay.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I liked the uh No.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
We're in a pit stop. It sounds like somebody's getting
tire work. Finally, to Saint Louis, Missouri.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
We go.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
On, George Omichael. The drivers in America are in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma also owns some of the worst roads I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
All right, definitely worst roads. I've already commented on that.
Sorry for those listening to KTOK and Tulsa K and KC.
I love both of you. Cities go thunder, but yes, terrible,
terrible roads, not the worst drivers the.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I thought New Orleans was bad, and then I came
to Nashville. You gotta strap on a helmet here in Nashville, too,
has five point harness in the car.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's a little. It's a little gazy gazy.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I don't even get roadbreache anymore because I expect it.
Sometimes I even look at my wife. I really respect
that move. I've never seen anybody turn left from a
far right lane like that crossing an interstate. That was beautiful,
friendly driving tip if you ever come to Nashville, the
fast lane is the far right hand lane. Well, because
(14:17):
I will say this, we're very we drive very fast. Yes,
most people go. I would say most people average ten
miles over the speed limit, but most go at least
twenty over the speed limit. So it is not I
have been going eighty on the interstate and had people
fly fly by me in a flash, and I'm thinking
(14:38):
that's got to be one hundred and ten. No, it's crazier.
I do think Nashville's crazy. I go one better than that.
Forget the highways. They don't even understand what a red
light means. Oh no, no, Noy'll run a red lights
just ingestion evable how bad it is. And I lived
in New Orleans, I lived in Oklahoma, and I've lived here.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Only living here has almost killed me.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
And if that's not hyperbole or exaggeration, I literally almost died.
I want to thank a new sponsor called rough Greens.
In fact, I got to spend some time with doctor
black even yesterday. What an amazing guy. He has a
lot of products. But let me talk about my dog.
His name is Boomer Baker Mayfield, although we call him Scout,
(15:20):
and he is one of those once in a lifetime dogs.
And for me, I would look you right in the
eye and say, rough Greens is important because I want
every day with Scout I can get and on average
he'll live twenty five percent longer with these nutrients.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's number one. Number two, he battles allergies.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Number three, we don't know if he's having an absorption issue,
but he eats like a shark and doesn't stop. And
rough Greens is a solution for all of that. It
supports long term health by providing live, bioavailable nutrients including
essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and omega oils. And
it works together to improve nutrient absorption, maintain joint and
(16:03):
muscle health, and overall enhance vitality. Doctor Blacksman at this
this whole life. A lot of you obsessed on the
type of dog food you buy, it's not They're all
flawed to some degree. Rough Greens isn't a dog food.
It's live nutritional supplement that you add to your dog's
(16:23):
food so you don't even have to change their food. Now,
I will say this, and this is what I want
you to hear more than anything. The best day to
start your dog on rough Greens was yesterday. Can't do that,
but we can do the second best day today. Over
fifty thousand subscribers, tens of thousands of five star reviews.

Hey, everybody's John Ford Coley of England, Dan and John
Ford Coley and my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
tell us to Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your more routine, but we're happier here now.
Enjoy the podcast. I just want to say, it's not
my fault. I'm trying. It's not my fault.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I mean, you know it's bad when Jeffrey's friends are
texting him. Just hit the button. Man likes hit the
button for the poor guy. Thirty five minutes after the hour,
we're gonna get to your talk back.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I love. That's my favorite part of the day that
gets revealed. What's that? What are you all going to
jump on?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You know, because we talk about a lot of things,
and I think, you know, I did a little one
on one time over Law and Order. I'd have thought
maybe you'd have taken that run. No, No, everybody's on
Worst Drivers, and everybody thinks we're there at is the worst.
I think five out of six of our talkbacks coming
(18:49):
up are all Worst Drivers, and my favorite is Sarah
and Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Smile the Boy for me. Sarah.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I love her explanation of what the drivers in Phoenix
are so bad.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I think if that level of heat was coming off
the asphalt up my nostrils towards my brain, I'd probably
drive a little work the brain. But I never know
what day they're going to take off and run with
you know what I mean? And you know then you
get Joe Weed doing a poem and the limerick from
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I think you guys got a bookie? Are you kidding me?
But yeah, you guys are the bomb.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I don't know what everybody else does in the morning,
but we get informed and we really love each other,
don't we.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm having a ball.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
President Trump finally made it to Switzerland, tried to take
off last night, had to return to joint Bass Andrews
minor electrical issues, just topped in a second airport on
second plane that became air Force one.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He has now landed in Switzerland.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Contempt of Congress charges are headed the Clinton's way that
could go to a vote as early as today. Vice
President j d Vance, expecting a child with his wife,
is headed to Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Tomorrow. I believe, no, yeah, tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And Netflix now has grown to three hundred and twenty
five million subscribers worldwide. I wonder they're making such good
shows and movies. They got the I can't even say it.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
They got somebody. Get Dave Ramsey to say it for me.
We've got a lot of cash man cash babe.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
They got cats.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And of course we're talking about this winter storm. I
want to go from the home Offige Andrew Tribe did.
And by the way, only Nashville gets that reference. Andrea said,
it's called Nashville's Severe Weather. Is the site that she
goes to. And they are the bomb. I mean, these guys,
that's why we don't need TV. We just go to them.
But you know, it's we're looking at a massive stretch
(20:47):
of the country. It's very cold temperatures, it's a lot
of snow that isn't used to a lot of snow,
and of course the dreaded ice.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So we'll get your talkbacks here in a minute.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
All right, John Decker, for some reason, not just a
White House correspondent of thirty years, he is also a
Supreme Court bar attorney, and he's heading back to his
stomping grounds of the Supreme Court. What brings you to
that neck of the nap of the neck? Why are
you going there? That's a good one. I know that reference.
Let me tell you time out? Wait, time out? God,
(21:15):
I love you. We're gonna have to have a sleepover, Jeffrey.
Did you get that reference? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Isn't it a Chevy Chase reference? Are wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Can you do the movie?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Neck of the name? Why are you here?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I believe that's Caddyshack? Was it Caddyshack?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Or seems like all times now I'm second guessing myself.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I think it was Caddyshack. N Neck of the Nape?
Why are you here? All right? Thanks? I'm glad you
got that? All right? So why we headed the Supreme Court?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Well, because of a very consequential case before the Supreme
Court today, Donald J. Trump versus Lisa Cook? Who is
Lisa Cook? She is a member of the Federal Reserve
Board that Donald Trump wants to remove from her position,
and what the President contends in his legal arguments is
that he doesn't need any reason to remove her from
that position. Although he contends that she committed mortgage fraud,
(22:05):
she denies that. In any case, this is before the
Supreme Court and it will test the independence of the
Federal Reserve Board Traditionally, Historically it is independent, and you
can only remove a Fed governor for cause, and that
would be something that arises to the level of malfeasance,
(22:26):
for instance. But in this particular case, Donald Trump says,
I don't need cause. I can do it just because
I feel like it. All right, just put on your
Supreme Court bar attorney hat. What are the merits of
this case in terms of standing a merit? I don't
know that mortgage fraud the way it's been running rampant
with second homes and so on, is going to qualify
(22:47):
as that. But I guess that's what they're hearing, or
give us the nuts and bolts of what the court's
going to be interested in. Well, what they're interested in
is whether or not. I mean, I think there are
two major issues. One is procedurally, will they allow President
Trump to remove Lisa Cook while this case plays itself
out the charge of mortgage fraud or will they say no,
(23:08):
she can remain in place and let the process take place.
Due process is due for anyone accused of wrongdoing. I
think you'd agree that I agree with that. In this country,
Lisa Cook has not received any due process. The reason
why this is before the Supreme Court is because she
has sued Donald Trump well because she wants to keep
her job, and she suited him contending that what the
(23:31):
President is doing and has done is illegal. So that's
before the Supreme Court. And what some conservative Supreme Court
justices have said, like Brett Kavanaugh, is that wait a second,
the FED is completely different than let's say, the FTC.
When you want to remove a member of the FTC.
The FED is independent, it should remain independent. And it's
(23:52):
going to be difficult to convince someone like a Brett
Cavanaugh to go along with the administration's argument.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I think I'm going to say to the differ diferent things.
John Decker, White House Correspondent, joining us two things, one
of what you're going to really love and then one
you're probably going to have to just answer, I don't
know how you're going to feel about it. One is
you should want this to be independent, no matter what
partisan view you have, because if Donald Trump can do
this for whatever reason today, somebody that's the opposite of
(24:20):
what you believe could do the very same thing tomorrow
and you won't like it. Then I will say this,
Why isn't the FED itself interested in Lisa Cook? Have
they given her due process and investigated this and they
could remove her and keep their independence? Or do they
just not care about mortgage fraud?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
They care very much. Every former FED a chair has
written what's known as a friend of the Court brief
supporting Lisa Cook's position, supporting the independence of the FED,
and in fact, Jerome pwe, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve,
will be in the court along with me today to
watch these oral arguments.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
By the way, it has been like a broken record.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Oh, today it will be the day we'll get the
ruling on the merits of tariffs, And then every day
it just passes.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are we ever going to get that ruling? We're going
to get it. I can't tell you when. They don't
indicate when they're going to announce a decision a particular case,
but any day now we're going to get that, And
wouldn't it be remarkable if we got that today while
the President is in Davos, Switzerland talking about the importance
of his tariff's policy, that would be remarkable.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Well, it wouldn't be remarkable, be suspicious if they waited
till the till then, but yeah, it would be something.
What all is surrounding the White House and the news
and relevance? Or is the case is today the Supreme
Court find out? The White House Briefing Room with John
Decker podcast will be up by nine Eastern, eighth Central.
And when you find it, put it on your what
(25:54):
they call that the presets that way, it's waiting for
you every morning. Don't miss that John Decker and the
White House Briefing or we'll talk to you and tell you, Michael,
you got it all right.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Can't have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I'm starting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They have been falsely
accused of being worst drivers, worst roads.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Aaron, what say you?
Speaker 10 (26:15):
I don't know about all that worst roads? I think
have you ever been to New Mexico? Now, I'll tell
you what. In New Mexico they got some terrible roads.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Well, you've probably been there right, Red New Mexico. I've
never been. Actually, now you go to North Dakota, you
go to Montana, but you don't go to New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Far south, not barren enough for you. Let's go to Canada, Sarasota.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Michael, you probably don't remember this, but before the oil
and bargo in the nineteen seventies, the speed limit in
Tennessee was seventy five, and then it was reduced to
fifty five.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Why don't know that that's true? Though? Right?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
We have fifty five, then it goes to sixty five,
and then we have seventy. Primarily, don't we got seventy
on some of the main stretches yet, unless that's different
when it gets more into the smokies, do they lower it?
You're not medical love, seventy is that believe what our
speed limit signs are for? Well, like I tell you
in Nashville at seventy, which really means eighty five, which
means for the Kooks one hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Joe's in West West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Morning Michael.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Ryan Hall y'all is a great meteorologist in Pikeville, Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
That's him, and he has great forecasts.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Honest and spot on most of the time, so you might.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Want to tune into him.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Now that's the one that you were talking about, right, Yeah,
he's like they refer to him as the Internet meteorologist. Yeah,
we use Nashville's Severe Weather. They are hilarious, by the way,
and they're terrific, but they're dead not accurate. I mean
they are very, very accurate to the street. They're accurate
blades and names.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Iowa.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Hey, Michael, speaking of sovereignty, why don't you get him
to fly down to Cuba and you could get on
Baptista's old golf course down there and see the collapse
of the Cuban regime right at firsthand, because it's probably
not going to be long and it'd be a nice
change if they let you out.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
All right, I love you guys, but are you drinking
in the morning. First of all, let's go back to
the very beginning. We really do have a problem if
we have a major winter storm to the level of
people can't get to the studio or we lose power. Listen,
(28:29):
the studio lose power, loses power. We have the generators. Yeah,
I lose power. I don't have a generator. Why do
you not have a general. You should of all of us,
you should have a generator because I'm broke. Wait a minute, No,
wait a minute, Jeffrey, I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Can you see on the camera?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Do you see is anything coming out?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Are you seeing nothing coming up?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I can't afford a generator. Now, I couldn't afford my
mother's funeral arrangements. But I just put that on a card. No,
So we were like, you know, uh, we should probably
why are you making that face? No, I don't mind
if they put but now my card is maxed out.
And well no, but I got the company credit card.
(29:10):
We're good, We're gonna stay. You worn't for Annie, good
luck with Annie. Puts me up in your can't my
God hotels? No, so I just want to get everybody's step.
You know, don't know what we're talking about. So we're like,
what are we gonna do? And so Jeffrey's like, well,
I guess we should get put up. And then I'm like, oh,
now I'm stuck in a hotel room with these two.
(29:33):
I mean, you know, I find snow like doctor Javago
very romantic.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I want to be and.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
And the kids I think are all staying at the dorm.
I can be alone with my wife in a doctor
vago setting. I mean, I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Our wives for crying.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
So you'd rather have a sleepover with Rory and John
Decker and not your producers?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Okay, I feel wanted.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Okay, Well, I'm thinking something, but my commandment say I
can't say it, but I will tell you during the break.
And it does involve gasinists. But anyway, so I was thinking,
all right, well, why are we doing that? I mean,
if we really want to be safe, three Southwest Airlines flights.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And we go ride this out in Tampa.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I'm that way, we have quality control for the audience.
I bring my clubs and all the studios are the same,
no matter, we're laughter doing therapy. Yeah, but it was
kind of just kind of jokes. And then so the
listeners start calling up, well, why don't you come to
uh Western Pennsylvania or wy don't.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
You come to Youngstown?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
To Youngstown?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Why would I go somewhere colder? I mean, if we're.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Gonna have an expense, let's go somewhere warmer.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Now they're trying to send me to communist Cuba.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Oh, please make some sense of this Sarah and Phoenix
listening to k FYI.
Speaker 13 (30:47):
I think that we have the worst drivers only because
the desert heat fries our brain and makes us crazy.
Then we have the all the imported Californians driving the
mac ten. We have Canadians, we have Minnesotans, we have
people from south of the border. It makes for a
giant cluster of disaster. Mix all those styles together.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
It's a man that reminds me of the scene in
bull Durham when they come out to the mouth.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
She kinda wrapped it all up.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Boy. That makes me really want to go to Phoenix.
I think I'm sticking with Tampa Impact Radio.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Tampa look Out, we might be coming.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Though I will say this, if we were a suit today,
we'd be wrinkled, dishoveled.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
We have fifty three minutes after the hour.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
President Trump has a warning for Iranian officials not to
make assassination threats against him.
Speaker 14 (31:47):
In an interview with News Nation, Trump said, if something
happens to him, the whole country is going to get
blown up.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I have very firm instructions.
Speaker 14 (31:54):
Anything happens, they're going to wipe them off the face
of this shot. Trump had been briefed on with threats
during the twenty twenty four presidential campaign, but said Tuesday
that former President Biden should have said something at the time.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Trump's comments come.
Speaker 14 (32:06):
Days after he threatened Iran with regime change over the
country's crackdown on anti government protesters.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm Urkneyfield.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
The Supreme Court may soon decide if states like California
can count mail in ballots that arrive on election day
as long as they're postmarked on time.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Jim Roupe has more.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
About a third of Americans voted by mail in twenty
twenty four. California counts mail in ballots up to seven
days after an election if those ballots are postmarked by
election day. The Supreme Court signaling it may review a
case out of New Orleans after a lower court said
only ballots received by election day should be counted. UCLA
law professor Rick Hayson tells the San Francisco Chronicle the
(32:44):
court often takes cases to reverse a lower court's order.
The Court's expected to hold a hearing in the spring,
with the ruling do by the summer.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I'm Jim Roop, a federal judge is refusing to temporarily
block a newly reinstated Department of Homeland Security policy that
would limit law makes access to ice detention centers.
Speaker 15 (33:02):
Colorado Congressman Joe Negus and other Democrats sued the Trump
administration last week, seeking to bar enforcement of a policy
requiring them to give seven days notice before any visit.
The lawmakers challenged the policy by arguing that it violated
a court order striking down a similar rule last month.
While there was no ruling on the merits of the
case itself, the judge said the plaintiffs used the wrong
(33:23):
procedural vehicle to challenge it, and concluded the previous order
did not apply. I'm Tammy trahiel.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Well.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
The Grammys are starting to release their roster of performers
for ceremonies. Sabrina Carpenter is the first performer to be
named for the event. Carpenter's up for six nominations this year,
including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.
The Grammys will be February first on CBS. I remember
fifty plus years ago the Grammys was a big deal
(33:51):
and you never missed it and every performance an award
was memorable. Haven't watched it decades. We have left the
holidays behind us. It is already January twenty first. Now
we embrace the new year and move forward. But a
(34:12):
holiday plant you bought, you know, to spruce the place up,
make it feel a little like the holidays, It's in trouble.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
In fact, today is a very important day, pre Tennis
with more.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
In the plant world, the third week of January is
known as the sweet spot of holiday plant death, and
it's all your fault. Those point seti as you purchased
in November and December are now dying from neglect, overwatering, underwatering,
the plant losing its leaves. Plant experts say you're doing
it wrong, as those point setis should live through April.
(34:42):
But for most now is the time to gather them
up and hit the compost. I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I mean I'd love her like I loved Paul Harvey's
right every day?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Where does she come up with them?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
All?
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Right?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
To the hard ones, we go of your morning show interest.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
The Sun's by six over the six Ers, one sixteen one.
Ten Clippers lost of the Bulls thirty eight to one.
Ten Warriors lost one hundred and forty five to one
hundred and twenty seven of the Raptors. You might want
to dry playing some defense. Lakers won one fifteen one
oh seven over the Nuggets. Kings fell to the Heat
one thirty one seventeen. On the ice, Sabers beat the
Prets five to three, Lightning one easy four to one
(35:16):
over the Sharks. Blues lost three to one to the Jets.
Kings won four to three over the Rangers. Birthdays today,
I would think either Beetlejuice or League of their Own
were Geena Davis's biggest movies. U Leaga the Oam playing
the Catcher. She was the best Gena Davis seventy years
old today. Billy Oshin They'll be Sad Songs, Garabuklee seventy
(35:43):
six years old today. The lesser known spice Emma button
is fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
We're so glad you were born, and thanks for making
your morning show a part of your big day. All right,
when we come back, David and not he's going to
join us. Although voters trust the Republican Party more on
all major issues, and by a margin of twenty eight
percent overall. Somehow, the Dems lead by four percent of
the generic congressional poll.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Now, how can that be the last DZ? Next, We're
all in this together. This is Your Morning Show with
Michael Vintel Jorno
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio
five seventy wkb N 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.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding equal.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael, Bill Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And well prove it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You'll hear from.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Spike and Ohio, David, Joee, Saint Louis. We'll get to
your talkbacks here in a minute. It is seven minutes
after the hour. Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, January
the twenty first.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I've slept.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I got a three in wordal which I think I'm
the family leader. Still I'm doing my job quite professionally.
I'm I'm just trying to milk a tree down to Florida.
If I can't, but I want to go. Jeffrey has
not taken his Ridlan And let me tell you something
If you think Air Force one is having flight issues,
(01:10):
sit back, relax and enjoy our return. The President has
finally landed in Switzerland. He'll be three hours plus late.
They haven't even emerged yet. I see Susi Wild's hanging
around ready to come down the stairs, but I haven't
seen the President yet. Air Force one had some minor
electrical issues, had to return to Joint Bass Andrews late
last night.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They had to switch planes.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
The President is finally on the ground in Switzerland for
the big summit. Meanwhile, we've got major winter storms expected
to bring ice and snow to massive stretches of the country,
which makes Rory O'Neil's list of the best and worst
places for drivers.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Have a whole new meaning this morning. Roy has always
there's a lot that goes.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Into this deaths, which I do think is big road quality,
which is big gas prices, insurance costs. I think when
we do these stories we think of bad drivers and congestion.
But that's only a couple of the elements, right.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Right, Because as you said, there's infrastructure issues. Do you
have access to car lots, car repair shops, even car washes,
And what's the general cost of owning the vehicle in
your state, either the cost or register at the taxes,
whatever it may be. So they compile all this data
and they come up with a ranking of the fifty states.
Number one on the wallet Up survey Vermont for.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Best, not worst, for best not.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, they got a lot of tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
All right, You've got Ben and Jerry and that's about it.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So, yeah, a lot of traffic.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I've heard that, I've heard rocky road, but not that
kind of Oh nice, there you go.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Iowa, Yeah, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Indiana also making the
top five. The bottom of the barrel makes sense when
you think about it for just a second. It's because
of the high cost. Hale White comes in dead last
on the survey. Are the ones in the bottom of
the basement there Maryland, California, Montana, and Washington State.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
All right, I lived in Maryland. I don't recall the
roads being that bad. I've lived in other places like Louisiana, Oklahoma.
Not so much if you're going east to west, because
Arkansas will prep you a little.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
For it, little flat for Arkansas.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But if you're traveling let's say you're coming from Missouri
and Oklahoma. You don't need a sign to welcome you.
You will see the different color coming and you will
know the minute you're on Oklahoma Grondic and you know
you're there. Road conditions, and by the way, road conditions
can be a problem. When I was on the air Intelsa,
we were having potholes that were the size of volcanoes,
(03:49):
and so that was causing alignment issues and tire issues,
rim issues. So there are a lot of expenses. And
then I think where you have a lot of people
or a lot of accidents at higher insurance costs, they're
going up through the roof because of the value of vehicles.
And then I think it was we were surprised Montana
wouldn't be on there because I guess in Montana you
(04:11):
can go one hundred and eighty miles an hour, which
I go anyway, something.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Weird, you can go as fast as you want, essentially
within reason. I think it's nothing, something, something safe, to
something something.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I guess nothing really surprised you that much, right, or
is there anything in there digging?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
But you know, I think you know.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Tennessee came in there at number eight on the list
of Arizona twenty eight on the list. Typically I would
have thought better of the of the states that don't
have the snow and either the driving conditions or what
the snow and frost does to the roadways. Florida right
forty fourth in traffic and infrastructure, which I thought was interesting.
You know South Florida traffic that is pretty miserable, I
should say. And it's that Tampa or Lando stretch is known.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I was just going to say, and Central isn't. I
don't know how many time.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I don't know how many times they've done that area
by a deal may Brain, over by the stadium and
by the airport. They've done all those ramps like five times.
They're doing them again, and they they still haven't gotten it.
Right now, I find Florida. I find Florida roads rough.
They I feel at home. I feel like I'm in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well that's why it ranks.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
So, Yeah, came in number six overall, but the traffic
and infrastructure ranking was pretty poor for Florida.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, And I think for Tennessee it's probably just I
know that in the last Kubernatorium raced it, there was
we were what seventh, right.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Tennessee eighth overall, number one though when it comes to
the cost of ownership and maintenance, and number one in
a good way.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Forty fourth though, in safety is what dragged it down. Wow,
we drive very aggressively here. I don't want to like
speak ill of my people, but like my wife goes
under the speed limit on the interstate, Well, that is
going to make it scarier. But you know, I find
if you join them, if you just get.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
A little aggressive or a little reckless, it really flows better.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I feel safe.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
But no, we do drive very fast here, and some
people drive really crazy. But our roads are an impeccable condition.
Gas prices are good. That doesn't surprise me that we're
in We're still hanging that left lane.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's all I ask.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Just don't be left lane. Just get out of the
left lane.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Rory's going to get in the right lane.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
We're going to talk about President Trump speaking in Switzerland today,
and Wall Street remains uneasy after the tariff warnings. I
don't know how often the market's going to continue to
respond to these verbal volleys, but it did respond again yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So we'll have more with Roy in the third hour.
Great reporting, ry h.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Now all of us you know put an asterisk by
all this stuff, because once you add snow and ice,
those numbers all go out the table. And so we're
all watching this major winter storm that is coming. We're
not certain yet. We went from my wife is obsessed
with this, yours too? Mind, you will not stop watching
the videos. They can't control it. They start neesting on
(06:56):
tick tak. Yeah, she's always on the tick tac. We No,
she has this one weather service that's online only, Like Andrew,
doesn't even care what they're saying on television, right, She've
used the television meteorologists like Mad magazine. Maybe if you
fold it in half it makes a picture. But so
who are the people on I should know the name
of this site and give them a plug. They are terrific,
(07:19):
whether it's thunderstorm, severe weather, or whether it's snow. I mean,
these guys are just they got to put them on TV.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Ryan Hall, y'all is like the internet meteorologist. No, this
is something else.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
But anyway, we went from like a foot and a
half to probably just ice. So I don't know that
anybody's really got to handle on what's coming. The last
forecast I saw it starts snowing on Saturday doesn't end
on Sunday. There is going to be some ice issues,
there's going to be some power outage issues, and for
some there's going to be some massive snowfall and issues.
So we're keeping an eye on that for you as well.
(07:54):
All Right, I can't have your morning show without your voice.
Wouldn't want to have it without your voice. But we
don't rot on hold anymore like the old days in
talk radio, and we don't ignore you like the new
days of talk radio. So we have a talkback button.
If you're listening on the iHeart app, it's a microphone.
You press it. It's very professional, let me just say,
more professional than the treatment I get.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You'll get a three to two one.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You get a due over if you don't like it,
but you immediately take your place at this morning's kitchen table.
That's the key that we're having a conversation, that we're
understanding together. Or as often as the case, my listeners
are as crazy as me. Let's start with Spike, my
rock and roll drummer.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Hey, Michael, this is Spike Jefferson, Ohio.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I am in Erie, Pennsylvania right now, and it is
a wall me ten degrees.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Roads are clear no snow, so you're more than.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Welcome to come here, well, Spike, in full transparency, We're
just trying to milk a free trip from our company
and perhaps go somewhere where I could maybe golf, see
a couple of friends.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
This is mostly stick then.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Although I do think it makes sense, Like what good
does it do to put us up in a hotel
downtown that I'm stuck with you instead of my wife?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right? Number one?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Number two, if we lose power, we lose b August.
The station's got you, And to get in our parking
garage you have to go up two floors around that
are filled with ice right now after a pipe burst?
Whatever happened to Disney World having those studios where radio
broadcast could go to. I did a whole week of
shows from there. See we need to set that back up. Yeah,
that was in I think it was in Magic Kingdom, Tomorrowland.
(09:32):
Wasn't it those studios or was it Epcot? I don't remember.
I remember they were gorgeous. Me and Rick Corey did
the show from there for a week. You know we're
in trouble, guys, because Jim Cantore is coming here to
Nashville to do the well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, that's never a good sign.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
When you see him as an ick about himself, you
got to carry a sickle.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I know.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I was just thinking, out of all of our affiliates,
I think we should go to Phoenix, KFYI, or I
think we should go to Tampa.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It just makes the most any of them. Now we
are on in Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
But you know, we don't have to say that's overkill,
but I think three Southwest Airlines flights down to Tampa
makes a great deal of sense for us.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Next up is David Michael.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
It's not only the bias media. Did you see the
Portland police chief blithering and crying about his Latino neighbors.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It was appalling. Yeah, boy, that I'm fighting a memory
right now. So I was sitting in a church service
where the person speaking said, I've got I've got kids
going to school not knowing if their parents are going
to be there when they get home. I found that
(10:49):
hyperbole at best. Now again, it's all political, it's all narrative. Frankly,
it's all noise. But if you really care, if you
really care about our intent, if you really care about
(11:10):
law and order, if you really care about sovereignty. You'll
take a full approach to this. Now you know I
went through this in discussing radical Islam. Not all terrorists
are Muslims, and not all Muslims are terrorists, but a
lot of the terrorists are Muslim and for good reason.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And if you want to have an.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Intelligent conversation, we'll go through the hidith, the life of Mohammed,
will go through the surahs, and you will see that
all gods are not the same, and Mohammad wasn't all
the same. He was very tolerant and peaceful at the beginning,
then he got very political, quite frankly, a thief the caravans,
and then ultimately a bloodthirsty warrior. So first you had
(11:53):
a choice one of three hundred and sixty five religions
in Mecca. Then you didn't have a choice convert, be
enslaved text or die, period and all of that needs
to be understood. But we live in a matrix that
won't allow you to always see that, so it is very,
very frustrating. That's why we went through the earlier shameless
(12:16):
plug for the podcast the media research Tally on ABC,
NBC and CBS, and you're looking at ninety eight percent
negative coverage, and they never mention illegal immigrants, let alone
these dangerous people that are being rounded up. And yes,
it's very relevant. I always have time. You can flash
(12:39):
do your commercial all you want. I always have time.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
For Joey a coup of Michael del John, Oh the
Pizza Boy. Listen to a show, and here you will
bring you joy, news and analysis to tell you why
because Michael del John No, the super Dupa Gay.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I liked the uh No.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
We're in a pit stop. It sounds like somebody's getting
tire work. Finally, to Saint Louis, Missouri.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
We go.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
On, George Omichael. The drivers in America are in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma also owns some of the worst roads I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
All right, definitely worst roads. I've already commented on that.
Sorry for those listening to KTOK and Tulsa K and KC.
I love both of you. Cities go thunder, but yes, terrible,
terrible roads, not the worst drivers the.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I thought New Orleans was bad, and then I came
to Nashville. You gotta strap on a helmet here in Nashville, too,
has five point harness in the car.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's a little. It's a little gazy gazy.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I don't even get roadbreache anymore because I expect it.
Sometimes I even look at my wife. I really respect
that move. I've never seen anybody turn left from a
far right lane like that crossing an interstate. That was beautiful,
friendly driving tip if you ever come to Nashville, the
fast lane is the far right hand lane. Well, because
(14:17):
I will say this, we're very we drive very fast. Yes,
most people go. I would say most people average ten
miles over the speed limit, but most go at least
twenty over the speed limit. So it is not I
have been going eighty on the interstate and had people
fly fly by me in a flash, and I'm thinking
(14:38):
that's got to be one hundred and ten. No, it's crazier.
I do think Nashville's crazy. I go one better than that.
Forget the highways. They don't even understand what a red
light means. Oh no, no, Noy'll run a red lights
just ingestion evable how bad it is. And I lived
in New Orleans, I lived in Oklahoma, and I've lived here.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Only living here has almost killed me.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
And if that's not hyperbole or exaggeration, I literally almost died.
I want to thank a new sponsor called rough Greens.
In fact, I got to spend some time with doctor
black even yesterday. What an amazing guy. He has a
lot of products. But let me talk about my dog.
His name is Boomer Baker Mayfield, although we call him Scout,
(15:20):
and he is one of those once in a lifetime dogs.
And for me, I would look you right in the
eye and say, rough Greens is important because I want
every day with Scout I can get and on average
he'll live twenty five percent longer with these nutrients.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's number one. Number two, he battles allergies.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Number three, we don't know if he's having an absorption issue,
but he eats like a shark and doesn't stop. And
rough Greens is a solution for all of that. It
supports long term health by providing live, bioavailable nutrients including
essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and omega oils. And
it works together to improve nutrient absorption, maintain joint and
(16:03):
muscle health, and overall enhance vitality. Doctor Blacksman at this
this whole life. A lot of you obsessed on the
type of dog food you buy, it's not They're all
flawed to some degree. Rough Greens isn't a dog food.
It's live nutritional supplement that you add to your dog's
(16:23):
food so you don't even have to change their food. Now,
I will say this, and this is what I want
you to hear more than anything. The best day to

but we can do the second best day today. Over

Hey, everybody's John Ford Coley of England, Dan and John
Ford Coley and my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
tell us to Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your more routine, but we're happier here now.
Enjoy the podcast. I just want to say, it's not
my fault. I'm trying. It's not my fault.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I mean, you know it's bad when Jeffrey's friends are
texting him. Just hit the button. Man likes hit the
button for the poor guy. Thirty five minutes after the hour,
we're gonna get to your talk back.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I love. That's my favorite part of the day that
gets revealed. What's that? What are you all going to
jump on?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You know, because we talk about a lot of things,
and I think, you know, I did a little one
on one time over Law and Order. I'd have thought
maybe you'd have taken that run. No, No, everybody's on
Worst Drivers, and everybody thinks we're there at is the worst.
I think five out of six of our talkbacks coming
(18:49):
up are all Worst Drivers, and my favorite is Sarah
and Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Smile the Boy for me. Sarah.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I love her explanation of what the drivers in Phoenix
are so bad.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I think if that level of heat was coming off
the asphalt up my nostrils towards my brain, I'd probably
drive a little work the brain. But I never know
what day they're going to take off and run with
you know what I mean? And you know then you
get Joe Weed doing a poem and the limerick from
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I think you guys got a bookie? Are you kidding me?
But yeah, you guys are the bomb.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I don't know what everybody else does in the morning,
but we get informed and we really love each other,
don't we.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm having a ball.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
President Trump finally made it to Switzerland, tried to take
off last night, had to return to joint Bass Andrews
minor electrical issues, just topped in a second airport on
second plane that became air Force one.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He has now landed in Switzerland.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Contempt of Congress charges are headed the Clinton's way that
could go to a vote as early as today. Vice
President j d Vance, expecting a child with his wife,
is headed to Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Tomorrow. I believe, no, yeah, tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And Netflix now has grown to three hundred and twenty
five million subscribers worldwide. I wonder they're making such good
shows and movies. They got the I can't even say it.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
They got somebody. Get Dave Ramsey to say it for me.
We've got a lot of cash man cash babe.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
They got cats.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And of course we're talking about this winter storm. I
want to go from the home Offige Andrew Tribe did.
And by the way, only Nashville gets that reference. Andrea said,
it's called Nashville's Severe Weather. Is the site that she
goes to. And they are the bomb. I mean, these guys,
that's why we don't need TV. We just go to them.
But you know, it's we're looking at a massive stretch
(20:47):
of the country. It's very cold temperatures, it's a lot
of snow that isn't used to a lot of snow,
and of course the dreaded ice.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So we'll get your talkbacks here in a minute.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
All right, John Decker, for some reason, not just a
White House correspondent of thirty years, he is also a
Supreme Court bar attorney, and he's heading back to his
stomping grounds of the Supreme Court. What brings you to
that neck of the nap of the neck? Why are
you going there? That's a good one. I know that reference.
Let me tell you time out? Wait, time out? God,
(21:15):
I love you. We're gonna have to have a sleepover, Jeffrey.
Did you get that reference? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Isn't it a Chevy Chase reference? Are wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Can you do the movie?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Neck of the name? Why are you here?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I believe that's Caddyshack? Was it Caddyshack?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Or seems like all times now I'm second guessing myself.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I think it was Caddyshack. N Neck of the Nape?
Why are you here? All right? Thanks? I'm glad you
got that? All right? So why we headed the Supreme Court?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Well, because of a very consequential case before the Supreme
Court today, Donald J. Trump versus Lisa Cook? Who is
Lisa Cook? She is a member of the Federal Reserve
Board that Donald Trump wants to remove from her position,
and what the President contends in his legal arguments is
that he doesn't need any reason to remove her from
that position. Although he contends that she committed mortgage fraud,
(22:05):
she denies that. In any case, this is before the
Supreme Court and it will test the independence of the
Federal Reserve Board Traditionally, Historically it is independent, and you
can only remove a Fed governor for cause, and that
would be something that arises to the level of malfeasance,
(22:26):
for instance. But in this particular case, Donald Trump says,
I don't need cause. I can do it just because
I feel like it. All right, just put on your
Supreme Court bar attorney hat. What are the merits of
this case in terms of standing a merit? I don't
know that mortgage fraud the way it's been running rampant
with second homes and so on, is going to qualify
(22:47):
as that. But I guess that's what they're hearing, or
give us the nuts and bolts of what the court's
going to be interested in. Well, what they're interested in
is whether or not. I mean, I think there are
two major issues. One is procedurally, will they allow President
Trump to remove Lisa Cook while this case plays itself
out the charge of mortgage fraud or will they say no,
(23:08):
she can remain in place and let the process take place.
Due process is due for anyone accused of wrongdoing. I
think you'd agree that I agree with that. In this country,
Lisa Cook has not received any due process. The reason
why this is before the Supreme Court is because she
has sued Donald Trump well because she wants to keep
her job, and she suited him contending that what the
(23:31):
President is doing and has done is illegal. So that's
before the Supreme Court. And what some conservative Supreme Court
justices have said, like Brett Kavanaugh, is that wait a second,
the FED is completely different than let's say, the FTC.
When you want to remove a member of the FTC.
The FED is independent, it should remain independent. And it's
(23:52):
going to be difficult to convince someone like a Brett
Cavanaugh to go along with the administration's argument.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I think I'm going to say to the differ diferent things.
John Decker, White House Correspondent, joining us two things, one
of what you're going to really love and then one
you're probably going to have to just answer, I don't
know how you're going to feel about it. One is
you should want this to be independent, no matter what
partisan view you have, because if Donald Trump can do
this for whatever reason today, somebody that's the opposite of
(24:20):
what you believe could do the very same thing tomorrow
and you won't like it. Then I will say this,
Why isn't the FED itself interested in Lisa Cook? Have
they given her due process and investigated this and they
could remove her and keep their independence? Or do they
just not care about mortgage fraud?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
They care very much. Every former FED a chair has
written what's known as a friend of the Court brief
supporting Lisa Cook's position, supporting the independence of the FED,
and in fact, Jerome pwe, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve,
will be in the court along with me today to
watch these oral arguments.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
By the way, it has been like a broken record.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Oh, today it will be the day we'll get the
ruling on the merits of tariffs, And then every day
it just passes.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are we ever going to get that ruling? We're going
to get it. I can't tell you when. They don't
indicate when they're going to announce a decision a particular case,
but any day now we're going to get that, And
wouldn't it be remarkable if we got that today while
the President is in Davos, Switzerland talking about the importance
of his tariff's policy, that would be remarkable.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Well, it wouldn't be remarkable, be suspicious if they waited
till the till then, but yeah, it would be something.
What all is surrounding the White House and the news
and relevance? Or is the case is today the Supreme
Court find out? The White House Briefing Room with John
Decker podcast will be up by nine Eastern, eighth Central.
And when you find it, put it on your what
(25:54):
they call that the presets that way, it's waiting for
you every morning. Don't miss that John Decker and the
White House Briefing or we'll talk to you and tell you, Michael,
you got it all right.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Can't have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I'm starting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They have been falsely
accused of being worst drivers, worst roads.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Aaron, what say you?
Speaker 10 (26:15):
I don't know about all that worst roads? I think
have you ever been to New Mexico? Now, I'll tell
you what. In New Mexico they got some terrible roads.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Well, you've probably been there right, Red New Mexico. I've
never been. Actually, now you go to North Dakota, you
go to Montana, but you don't go to New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Far south, not barren enough for you. Let's go to Canada, Sarasota.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Michael, you probably don't remember this, but before the oil
and bargo in the nineteen seventies, the speed limit in
Tennessee was seventy five, and then it was reduced to
fifty five.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Why don't know that that's true? Though? Right?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
We have fifty five, then it goes to sixty five,
and then we have seventy. Primarily, don't we got seventy
on some of the main stretches yet, unless that's different
when it gets more into the smokies, do they lower it?
You're not medical love, seventy is that believe what our
speed limit signs are for? Well, like I tell you
in Nashville at seventy, which really means eighty five, which
means for the Kooks one hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Joe's in West West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Morning Michael.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Ryan Hall y'all is a great meteorologist in Pikeville, Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
That's him, and he has great forecasts.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Honest and spot on most of the time, so you might.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Want to tune into him.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Now that's the one that you were talking about, right, Yeah,
he's like they refer to him as the Internet meteorologist. Yeah,
we use Nashville's Severe Weather. They are hilarious, by the way,
and they're terrific, but they're dead not accurate. I mean
they are very, very accurate to the street. They're accurate
blades and names.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Iowa.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Hey, Michael, speaking of sovereignty, why don't you get him
to fly down to Cuba and you could get on
Baptista's old golf course down there and see the collapse
of the Cuban regime right at firsthand, because it's probably
not going to be long and it'd be a nice
change if they let you out.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
All right, I love you guys, but are you drinking
in the morning. First of all, let's go back to
the very beginning. We really do have a problem if
we have a major winter storm to the level of
people can't get to the studio or we lose power. Listen,
(28:29):
the studio lose power, loses power. We have the generators. Yeah,
I lose power. I don't have a generator. Why do
you not have a general. You should of all of us,
you should have a generator because I'm broke. Wait a minute, No,
wait a minute, Jeffrey, I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Can you see on the camera?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Do you see is anything coming out?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Are you seeing nothing coming up?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I can't afford a generator. Now, I couldn't afford my
mother's funeral arrangements. But I just put that on a card. No,
So we were like, you know, uh, we should probably
why are you making that face? No, I don't mind
if they put but now my card is maxed out.
And well no, but I got the company credit card.
(29:10):
We're good, We're gonna stay. You worn't for Annie, good
luck with Annie. Puts me up in your can't my
God hotels? No, so I just want to get everybody's step.
You know, don't know what we're talking about. So we're like,
what are we gonna do? And so Jeffrey's like, well,
I guess we should get put up. And then I'm like, oh,
now I'm stuck in a hotel room with these two.
(29:33):
I mean, you know, I find snow like doctor Javago
very romantic.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I want to be and.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
And the kids I think are all staying at the dorm.
I can be alone with my wife in a doctor
vago setting. I mean, I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Our wives for crying.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
So you'd rather have a sleepover with Rory and John
Decker and not your producers?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Okay, I feel wanted.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Okay, Well, I'm thinking something, but my commandment say I
can't say it, but I will tell you during the break.
And it does involve gasinists. But anyway, so I was thinking,
all right, well, why are we doing that? I mean,
if we really want to be safe, three Southwest Airlines flights.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And we go ride this out in Tampa.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I'm that way, we have quality control for the audience.
I bring my clubs and all the studios are the same,
no matter, we're laughter doing therapy. Yeah, but it was
kind of just kind of jokes. And then so the
listeners start calling up, well, why don't you come to
uh Western Pennsylvania or wy don't.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
You come to Youngstown?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
To Youngstown?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Why would I go somewhere colder? I mean, if we're.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Gonna have an expense, let's go somewhere warmer.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Now they're trying to send me to communist Cuba.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Oh, please make some sense of this Sarah and Phoenix
listening to k FYI.
Speaker 13 (30:47):
I think that we have the worst drivers only because
the desert heat fries our brain and makes us crazy.
Then we have the all the imported Californians driving the
mac ten. We have Canadians, we have Minnesotans, we have
people from south of the border. It makes for a
giant cluster of disaster. Mix all those styles together.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
It's a man that reminds me of the scene in
bull Durham when they come out to the mouth.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
She kinda wrapped it all up.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Boy. That makes me really want to go to Phoenix.
I think I'm sticking with Tampa Impact Radio.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Tampa look Out, we might be coming.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Though I will say this, if we were a suit today,
we'd be wrinkled, dishoveled.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
We have fifty three minutes after the hour.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
President Trump has a warning for Iranian officials not to
make assassination threats against him.
Speaker 14 (31:47):
In an interview with News Nation, Trump said, if something
happens to him, the whole country is going to get
blown up.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I have very firm instructions.
Speaker 14 (31:54):
Anything happens, they're going to wipe them off the face
of this shot. Trump had been briefed on with threats
during the twenty twenty four presidential campaign, but said Tuesday
that former President Biden should have said something at the time.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Trump's comments come.
Speaker 14 (32:06):
Days after he threatened Iran with regime change over the
country's crackdown on anti government protesters.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm Urkneyfield.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
The Supreme Court may soon decide if states like California
can count mail in ballots that arrive on election day
as long as they're postmarked on time.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Jim Roupe has more.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
About a third of Americans voted by mail in twenty
twenty four. California counts mail in ballots up to seven
days after an election if those ballots are postmarked by
election day. The Supreme Court signaling it may review a
case out of New Orleans after a lower court said
only ballots received by election day should be counted. UCLA
law professor Rick Hayson tells the San Francisco Chronicle the
(32:44):
court often takes cases to reverse a lower court's order.
The Court's expected to hold a hearing in the spring,
with the ruling do by the summer.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I'm Jim Roop, a federal judge is refusing to temporarily
block a newly reinstated Department of Homeland Security policy that
would limit law makes access to ice detention centers.
Speaker 15 (33:02):
Colorado Congressman Joe Negus and other Democrats sued the Trump
administration last week, seeking to bar enforcement of a policy
requiring them to give seven days notice before any visit.
The lawmakers challenged the policy by arguing that it violated
a court order striking down a similar rule last month.
While there was no ruling on the merits of the
case itself, the judge said the plaintiffs used the wrong
(33:23):
procedural vehicle to challenge it, and concluded the previous order
did not apply. I'm Tammy trahiel.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Well.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
The Grammys are starting to release their roster of performers
for ceremonies. Sabrina Carpenter is the first performer to be
named for the event. Carpenter's up for six nominations this year,
including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.
The Grammys will be February first on CBS. I remember
fifty plus years ago the Grammys was a big deal
(33:51):
and you never missed it and every performance an award
was memorable. Haven't watched it decades. We have left the
holidays behind us. It is already January twenty first. Now
we embrace the new year and move forward. But a
(34:12):
holiday plant you bought, you know, to spruce the place up,
make it feel a little like the holidays, It's in trouble.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
In fact, today is a very important day, pre Tennis
with more.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
In the plant world, the third week of January is
known as the sweet spot of holiday plant death, and
it's all your fault. Those point seti as you purchased
in November and December are now dying from neglect, overwatering, underwatering,
the plant losing its leaves. Plant experts say you're doing
it wrong, as those point setis should live through April.
(34:42):
But for most now is the time to gather them
up and hit the compost. I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I mean I'd love her like I loved Paul Harvey's
right every day?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Where does she come up with them?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
All?
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Right?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
To the hard ones, we go of your morning show interest.
