Although voters trust the Republican Party more on all major issues—by a margin of 28 percent overall—the Democrats are ahead by 4 percent in generic congressional polls. How can that be?! Join us as senior contributor David Zanotti breaks down the numbers.
President Trump speaks in Davos, and Wall Street remains uneasy after warnings that tariffs are pushing prices higher, with a possible government shutdown. National Correspondent RORY O’NEILL will have the latest.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good morning, and welcome to your Morning Show with Michaelville Jordo.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is Flip Gregor from Hendersonville, Tennessee, the city by
the Lake. Y'all come see us now here one two three,
starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan and I.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Remember it all happened about twelve years ago when I
got up one morning and realized I had lost control
of my family, that my children were completely out of
control due to my failed parenting. Is come to my attention,
two years into your morning show, I have lost control
of this show to my misbehaved children and listeners. By
(01:10):
the way, I just got this Chris Rope. You asking
Jeffrey if he saw money coming out her backside caused
me to spit my coffee all over the kitchen table.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You will make my day better.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Uh. You know, we like to think of the symbolic
kitchen table as a mature place, but not always. I
loved this one. Apparently Renee felt the need to maybe
defend you. Hey Michael, he may not hit the button,
but just to note, Jeffrey does play the best bumper.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Music see until he loses them forever.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
A reporter claims that, due to the electrical problems of
Air Force one, Trump will be three hours late in
Davos and the attendees will be furious. I got news
for you. They were furious before he got there. Oh
my goodness. Well that's just some of them. Is this
legit Supreme Court sixty three ruling shakes the nation?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
My listeners are even asking questions, like you, Jeffrey, when
you you always? I see these emails all the time
to red red Is this true?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Supreme Court ruling? Emergency ruling shakes the nation? A suddenly?
I doubt it is, but doesn't look. I don't have
time to research that, but I'll look up look that
over keep the email.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Love. How Jeffrey thinks I actually know the answer? Lazy?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
He wants you to do the Google bad Trust reds research,
keep the emails coming to Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com,
and of course, use that talkback button on the iHeartRadio
app all right, nine minutes after the hour for you're
just waking up. The President had to return to Joint
Bass Andrews last night about eleven oh seven pm Eastern
due to a minor electrical problem in Air Force one.
Switched planes, it became Air Force one. He arrived now
(02:57):
and Davos. He will be at the meetings probably three
three and a half hours late. That's not going to
make the stairs any more frosty than they already would
have been. Contempt of Congress charges against the Clintons. We'll
go to a vote today. JD Vance and who share
expecting a child and a major winter storm is expected
to bring ice and snow to a massive stretch of
(03:18):
the country, which got us talking.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
About and then you all jumped on it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I mean, I don't know why they put us up
in a hotel in downtown Nashville to ensure that we'll
be here for you Monday.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I mean that may not be safe.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Why not, you know, just put us on a plane
send us down to Tampa, maybe or maybe not.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'll include my clubs. I don't know we're going there anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
You called Julie, But what we forgot about is DZ's
in Orlando. We could all just bunk up there. We'll
be to your neck of the nape of the neck.
That's why we'll be there. David, good morning. And you
can run clubs here. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well I'm a lefty. It's a little bit of a
big deal. But I can bring them, carry them. They
make left handed club zones.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm going to try to come just and carry my
clubs on on a Southwest flight. See what they just
to watch their reaction. So the main reason David's here,
we're going to stay focused. I want to do that
Atlantic article, and I hope if we have to go
to overtime, we can do that. Because the Atlantic is
who sets the narrative for the intelligentsia. The university professors
that are indoctrinating, for all the network heads who are indoctrinating,
(04:25):
and even they're saying all of this fraud in Minnesota,
to quote David Sinati, that's a big deal, and it's
a big problem for Democrats, and no one is listening
to the Atlantic. And what the Atlantic is suggesting is
two things. One, fraud's a big deal, and it should
You should care whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.
(04:47):
Since when do they not care based on the side
of the matrix? And two, you may not be willing
to address it. The media may not be willing to
address it, but voters will in the midterm.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We'll talk more about that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
The The other is the latest Wall Street Journal poll,
which clearly shows the Republicans trusted by voters more than
Democrats overall by twenty eight percent, but on every key
issue except vaccines and healthcare, and neither of which are
driving narratives right now heading into the midterm elections. So
(05:23):
how could the Republicans have the voters trust yet the
Democrats have a four point advantage in a generic congressional poll.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I mean, how can that be?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Senior contributor CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host of
The Public Square, David Sinati, our senior contributor, joining us
here to try to answer that one.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, that's a great question, and I turned to our
good friend doctor W. B. Allen, who at the end
of last year published a paper with the Heritage Foundation
on first Principles. It titled Three eighteenth century Revolutions British, American,
French and three Pathways to Modernity. Now this kind of
sounds academic, and don't turn the dial. The point is
(06:04):
is that he went the whole way back to the
colonial era and back to the writings of King George
the Third from the time he was seventeen years old,
and went through the characters who were around the time
of the founding, particularly on the British side of the equation,
and talked about political parties, where they came from, how
they came into Western thought, and how they came into
(06:25):
America from England, from people like Edmund Burke and others.
And in that he set some definitions that I think
exactly applied to this story. When you go back in
history and you study the history of political parties in
Great Britain and in the United States, there are two
kinds of parties. There are programmatic parties and they're ideological parties.
Programmatic parties are built on policy. This is what we're
(06:49):
going to do, and the voters will hold us accountable
because here's our agenda as it relates to the economy
and foreign policy and energy and all those questions. The
other a party is an ideological party. An ideological party
is based upon protest against the power that's there, based
on personality, and fundamentally is after the power.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Ideological parties want power.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Right now in America, Americans respond to the policy that
they see coming from the Republican side of the debate
and say, yes, those policies make sense. The other side says,
we don't give a rats rand about policy. It's all
about personality and protests and power.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Is it just one side?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I mean, as you were explaining that, I was thinking
of America as a whole, and that is I think
we lived like that, with the exception of Wilson, who
got ideological. Some might say with the exception of Ronald
Reagan who got very ideological, but he was returning to
our intent. But I thought America played the policy party
(07:58):
game very well. There weren't that much differences between the
two parties. So a policy would come to mind to
solve a problem that the other failed. But really the
last twenty you could probably say, starting with George W. Bush,
I don't mean that as a slam. But at that
point we left the ranch and when completely ideologically impassioned
(08:20):
and focused. Now we are in a partisan dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, ideological is a difficult word because people think that
means about ideas.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, that's exactly the opposite.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
A programmatic party is one that's basically functioned on ideas
and policies. And so people will excuse me, respond to
the policies now, or they'll respond to the power in
the personalities. You multiply that by technology, television and now
social media and the Internet, and what you end up
with is not a debate about where we're going as
(08:51):
a country. End up with a soap opera, and that's really.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Where we're going right now, a reality TV and the
left wards say with Donald Trump literally all right, David's
Anati's senior contributor joining us.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
All right, So.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Looking at America, and you've done this because you've done
it in Christmas in America, and I know your team
at the Public Square have done that comparing and I
think they go together. I think it's not one or
the other. It's one plus one plus one and it
doesn't equal just three. But when you all look back
at when radio came about and the impact or the
(09:27):
transformative influence that had on politics, and then television starting
with Kennedy and the impact and influence that had on politics,
and then you add the twenty four hour cable influence,
and then lastly social media. I'm just guessing you guys
(09:50):
have made a life of studying this. But radio TV
to a point, twenty four hour news until it shifted
from new into entertainment, those were like equal steps, nothing
like the out of control cable influence. And then the Internet.
(10:10):
I think that's where we've spun out of control we
have now.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, I can remember a meeting, a private one of
those airport meetings with Dick Cheney years ago that somehow
I managed to get invited to a dozen people talking
about the state of affairs at that time, and Cheney
said the biggest difference that he experienced from being a
member of Congress than being the vice presidency was to
change from the two day news cycle to the twenty
(10:35):
four hour news cycle. Well, now we're in a thirty
second news cycle, and that acceleration has changed everything and
it's basically left traditional media in the dust.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They can't keep up anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Most journalism today is simply repeating what was put on
X or Facebook because it's so fast and it's so intense.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But its opinion driven, narrative driven, not fact driven. That's
what's dangerous, right, So there is a difference.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
The article you discussed in the polls that we're talking
about do show there's a difference between how people feel
about policy and then how they feel about personality. And
that will be, of course, what Trump's opponents will mobilize on.
This will be a referendum on Donald Trump. The goal
will be to keep the Trump base home, which has
(11:21):
been done before in other elections. They don't always show up,
and since he's not on the ballot, then their goal
will be to keep them home so they can simply
accelerate the people who wish they had something different. And
what they'll be told is if you give us the
power of Congress, will end the Trump regime.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's the game.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
So just so if you're just joining us, Wall Street
Journal comes out with a new poll, which party do
you trust more with the serious issues? By an overwhelming
twenty eight percent advantage, it's the Republican Party. And if
you go issue by issue, and I'm talking the key
issues from immigration to the economy, to foreign policy and
national security.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Is Republican, Republican or brown?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
And then you ask them the question of how they
plan to vote the midterms, and they got a four
point advantage for the Democrats. So are we in the
business of electing what we don't trust? Or David's explaining
to you the difference between an issue oriented voter and
an emotional I think we would say very shirts and
skins partisan voter, and they don't care. And that's why
(12:27):
we often say, you got to solve the matrix, You
got to solve the social dilemma, you got to solve
the death of journalism, or every day we're going to
not be able to solve whatever circumstance or policy challenge
we have. It will be impossible until you solve that dysfunction.
When we come back. I do think re looking at
(12:50):
how different the Atlantic is from CNN or the Washington Post.
I mean, these are the guys that call the plays
for all the people that cause all the plays in
legacy media, and they're saying, stop, this kind of fraud matters,
(13:11):
and it doesn't just it shouldn't just matter to Republicans
and Democrats alike, and if you continue to ignore it,
it's going to matter in consequence in elections. Since when
does the Atlantic tell the biased media what to say
and they don't listen. When we continue with David Zanati
in a moment, I want to thank a new sponsor again,
(13:31):
this time in Cognate. I'm going to lay it out
for you just straight. The nuances are one. I don't
like that people can just text me, call me, or
know where I live. So maybe you want privacy taken
care of. Maybe you shop online a lot, and whether
you actually go through with the purchase or not, someone's
(13:52):
got your data. This is all the things that Incognate
does because your personal information is valuable and it's are
more accessible than you realize. And every time you shop online,
your data is collected, packaged and sold to data brokers,
and you are classified and in some cases you are harassed,
but in many cases you're qualified. In other words, I
(14:14):
can be looking at the same hotel as you. It'll
tell you there's no vacancy. It'll tell me there's plenty
of rooms, and here's the best rate. You need protection.
It fuels kind of a secret shadow score that needs
to be addressed. So there's many reasons to look at incognate,
and not only does in cognate quietly work to wipe
(14:35):
your personal data from all these different search sites and
data brokers and hidden databases that keep doing it because
if you try to do it, you'd run out of patience.
We say it this way, they can't scam you if
they can't find you. Take your personal data back within cognate.
(14:56):
In cognate i n Cogni gets sixty percent off the
regular price when you use my name Michael, that's Michael.
When you go to in cognit dot com, slash Michael,
sixty percent off. Use the name Michael at in cognitate
dot com, slash Michael that's in cognitate dot com forward
slash Michael.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The President has made it to Davos, Switzerland after a
little bit of a malfunction with one of the Air
Force ones. Contempt of Congress charges could be coming to
the Clintons today and major winter storms are coming. We've
got to pick a meteorologist maybe and have them on
and get to the bottom of this. And then we're
trying to scramble and I think we're all going to
DZ's house, all right. Visiting with David Sinati, CEO of
(15:43):
the American Policy round Table, host of The Public Square.
We kind of went in depth and do how is
it that voters could trust Republicans more if you're discussing
issue by issue but then have a four percent lead
in the generic congressional polling. David gave a long, historical,
very reasonable expert explanation for how we become double minded
and the influences of internet and biased traditional media. Now
(16:09):
let's get to the Atlantic, which really usually controls the
narrative not only for the universities, but also for the networks.
And they're saying, stop ignoring this fraud thing. That's a
big deal what happened in Minnesota, and ignoring it's not
going to get you anywhere. This is going to be
a big problem for your party if you continue to
ignore it. But no one's listening, David.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, and the reason no one's listening, Michael, is because
we have built two generations of people on the notion
that identity politics is moral, that it's actually virtuous, And
what that puts us is between a majority and a
non majority population. So I'm going to use my terms
carefully because knowing that the Atlantic and others continually keep
(16:47):
listening to your morning show, the question that we have
is it depends on who's doing the crime, because if
certain non majoritarian groups are doing then then there's a
certain sense of well, hey, they deserve a break.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But the Atlantic asks in this piece we'll get twenty seconds,
so we'll do it more. Right after the break, we're
gonna go into overtime. Maybe it just sounds the day
together too, but the Atlantic's making it crystal clear.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Look, fraud matters. It should matter to everybody, and if it's.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Happening in a blue state it's Democrats allowing or benefiting
from it, that should bother democrats too, and they continue
to ignore that as well.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Hey, this is top Cop Kathy Hinters, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Joorno.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Hey it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Your Morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here now.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Enjoy the podcast. This is your morning show.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'm Michael del Journo, honored to serve you, Jeffrey serving
all all of us, Red serving all of us. You
just heard Mike McCann say, and I've been fascinated this
my whole life.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I may or may not have written a liner, but I.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Find the most intelligent people are the most curious. It's
very laborious at best to be intelligent and not be curious.
So curiosity kind of drives information, and that leads to
intelligence and ultimately arrives at understanding, which is what this
(18:29):
show is all about, and a conversation so we can
arrive together. However, having said that, listening to two very curious,
two very intelligent people talk for five straight minutes during
the break, I don't know if I have understanding right now,
nor do I know how to recap what you and
Red were talking about. I think some of it was
(18:49):
in the Don Lemon tirade, which has to do with
christ and Christianity being about white supremacy.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I don't know how you arrive at that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And then you know, a lot of this partisan politics
being driven by narratives over really facts and morals and
thought but I find it fascinating that the Atlantic that
I know, informs the intelligentsia. I mean, that's what's on
the professor's desks as they decide what to indoctrinate our
(19:25):
children with. And that's what's on the desks of the
executives in Hollywood at ABC, NBCCBS, at CNM, and they're
all saying, this fraud in Minnesota should matter to you
if you're a leftist or a righty, a Republican or
a Democrat.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Fraud's bad.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
And this kind of fraud with eighty indictments already and
the drip drip drip of more to come, which could
include a member of the United States Congress, a governor,
who knows who else, it's going to matter. Oh, and
they can time it. And so what the Atlantic is
saying is it should matter to everyone. Why doesn't end
(20:05):
And oh, by the way, wake up, it's going to
be a big problem for the Democrats. And then we
asked David, and then we were short because we were
headed to the break, why isn't anybody listening? And you
kind of started that explanation. Then you and Read kind
of went in a different direction, maybe combined both of
them and explained to us what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Because I think let me throw one more story into it.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Recently, I met a doctor in the southern parts of
the United States. New individual that I met came here
from an African country legally immigrated to the United States
as a legitimate, legal immigrant citizen. And we were having
a conversation and he asked me about the kind of
work that we do, and I explained him public policy
and media and so on and so forth. You have
very quiet for a second, and then he got this
(20:47):
young man, he got this rise smile on his face,
and one of these guys who's blessed with this beautiful voice.
And he says to me, so, what do you think
about Minnesota and minneapoli us? And he waited and I
looked at him. I said, Doc, what do you think?
He said, I'll tell you what I think. I work
two jobs as a doctor to make a living and
(21:10):
take care of my family. Those people are crooks. How
do we let them get away with this? Now that's
the story that everyone would like an answer for, regardless
of their political situation.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I said, how do they get away with it?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Let me tell you, doc, they get away with it
because other people don't have the courage to challenge them.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
And that's because we've been conditioned by tribalism.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And yet the Atlantic, and yet the Atlantic is saying
it would be a big mistake for Democrat Chres to
try to duck and dodge this.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now you'll notice, however, they're saying they're not going to
get away with it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And I wonder, Michael, you're exactly right.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
What I wonder is is that they're token symbolic saying
of like, Okay, make sure we say it's bad, and
then ignore it for the rest of the time. Why
isn't the Atlantic lead this investigation? Commonation? I think that.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I go back to the Time magazine February of twenty
twenty one piece, and I remember I was standing in
my front yard and I was on the phone with you,
and I said, all right, this is the manifesto. So
remember at that time, what we're all fighting about is
the election rigged. It led to January sixth in terms
(22:29):
of some people being ginned up or paid up to
cause trouble. And then the Atlanta comes out with this piece. Now,
so while everybody's saying, you can't say this election was rigged,
not that Hillary didn't say in twenty sixteen, but never
mind that in the midst of that it is taboo.
You cannot say those words. Here comes the Time magazine
piece entitled The Shadow Campaign to Save the Democracy, in
(22:53):
which all the principles and several of which went on
to be in Biden's cabinet, are telling you we cheated,
and here's how we cheated. Here's what we were going to
do with cheating that.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Here's why we cheated, because we had a moral reason.
We had a moral reason.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We had to cheat the demo democracy. And I looked
at you and I said, is this just like a
point of record? So when this scandal is in all
the courts and in all the news, they can say, well,
we didn't hide it, we said it. And I'm wondering
if so that's the Atlantic playing the game. We covered
it so we can reference back to it. But if
they're serious about it, we're going to see more and
(23:28):
more articles.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
The investigation exactly right, and that Time magazine article, as
valuable as it is, only told half the story. For example,
what's the difference between Donald Trump with Donald Trump's trying
to do now and pushing the envelope at every level.
And what John put Esta was doing, sitting completely unnoticed
by the Atlantic and everyone else in the White House,
writing trillions of dollars of checks on the Green New
(23:52):
Deal to people around the country, around the world to
sustain the global warming agenda.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
What's the differenentference? There is no difference.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's just one was one has talked about out loud
because it's Trump and the other isn't. Well, there may
be a bonus visit with you tomorrow. But to kind
of go full circle, how is it the Democrats are
and I use the word tech teaching because it's a
tactic and it's a strategy.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So tack tegic.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That's a new word written that writing down simultaneously.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
We'll write this down while you're there. All of the
above matrix. What are the other things? I say too much,
but they are. They are attempting to turn everything on
its head. So picture it as hills in military terms,
hills completely owned by the Republicans. They're trying to turn
upside down and on. So they create the immigration problem.
(24:44):
Donald Trump solves it. The spickett is turned off. There
is no one entering this country illegally and I mean
zero two million self deported and the really bad guys
these are the drug traffickers and may I add Mexico
just sent thirty seven more cartel mem here. Are you
happy keep doing this because we don't want you to
take our president out? You're caught up in the narrative,
(25:07):
but the consequence for the world leaders is far different,
and they're responding to the credibility. But make a long
story short, two million of self deported. He's getting rid
of the rapist, the gang members, the murderers, the thieves,
and they're trying to turn it upside down on a
narrative game that he's a tyrant and will it work.
(25:29):
They're trying to do the same thing with the economy. Now,
I believe it has nothing to do with the presidencies
as much as and out of control Congress that has
spent you in debt to oblivion.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
But they're trying to say.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Things are not affordable because of Donald Trump and ignore
everything that's not affordable because of Barack Obama's Obamacare or
Joe Biden's I don't know what that was on steroids,
But now big beautiful deal and tariffs are the problem.
My question to you to close with is it could
be just to blunt the strengths of the Republicans and
(26:04):
then once the midterms really kick in, just make it
a full out referendum on Trump. I think that's the
tactgic or the strategy to the tactic. But after looking
at this Wall Street Journal poll, I'm wondering can they
pull it off? If everybody will ignore facts and just
be emotional, they might be able to do it well.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Washington Post came out today with a counter article, taking
a combination of half a dozen polls going back to
October of last year till now, saying that if you
look at the if you look at the other issues
Americans concerned about, they can't stand the Republicans. So clearly
they realize this is where the you're on it. It
is where the fight's going to be. But right now,
the people who have the money and control the next
(26:42):
election view this as a reality television show. They are
counting on on Donald Trump outliving his shelf life. The
best thing I've heard this week on this program was
Carafano's comment. The Colonel Carafinal's comment on Donald Trump is
an eighty year old man in a hurry, and he
is wearing people out.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That's what they're coming on.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
David's Nati, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, hosts of
the Public Square heard on two Inner stations, and our
senior contributor, I suspect you'll be called back into action,
and maybe we'll be at the table with you later
in the week as we're trying to exile somewhere somewhere
not only warm and safe for broadcast, but maybe I
could sneak around of golfing.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Thank you, David.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Right for the rest of you, you got about fifteen
minutes to be to work by eight o'clock in the
Central Times, and let's get you up to speed. Contempt
of Congress charges it's coming to Clinton's way, maybe as
soon as today then.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
It's According to Republican Congressman James Comer, who heads the
gop Lenhouse Committee looking into the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, former
President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn't
show up for their scheduled depositions last week, accusing Republicans
of selective prosecution.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
The Clintons and several other.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Officials were sippeented in a bipartisan vote last summer.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I'm Mark Neephield.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
A federal judge is refusing to temporarily block a newly
reinstated Department of Homeland Security policy that would limit lawmakers'
access to ICE detention centers.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
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
(28:27):
procedural vehicle to challenge it, and concluded the previous order
did not apply. I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I don't know how to do this setup. You can
tell a lot about an individual by looking at their children.
You ever been around somebody that's trying to portray themselves
as mister dad and when he goes to overplay the
hugging his kid, the kid flinches and you're like.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hey, what really goes on in their house? It's kind
of how I feel about this story. The Canadian military
has reportedly drawn up a response model to a hypothetical
US invasion.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Does anybody is anything.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
In Canada really think the US military is considering an
invasion and if we did, you could do anything about it?
Sarah ly Kessler reports and has more.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
The Globe and Mail are citing two senior government officials
in Canada saying the response with center on insurgency style
tactics similar to those used in Afghanistan by resistance fighters
against the Soviets and later the US. President Trump has
repeatedly talked about making Canada America's fifty first state. Late Monday,
(29:29):
he posted an image on social media showing Canada and
Venezuela covered by the American flag. I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I gotta tell you the first time my son played
me this song, I was like, this is a smash.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Smash hit.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Bruno Mars is on top of the charts again this week.
Sixteen time Grammy winners new song I Just Might debut
at number one twenty three point five million streams during
its first time out. Mars is now the fourth solo
male singer and tenth to have more than ten or
(30:09):
more number one and look at the group. He ends
up in along with Drake Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.
Yeah he's that good. Oh Andy replaced Taylor Swift, knocked
her out of the number one spot.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
You'd love it a little lecture more for that, don't we.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
This is not a good day for your household plants,
especially the ones who you bought to make the holidays
feel a little bit more like the holidays. Nobody tracks
these things, but our Bree Tennis does.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
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,
(30:59):
but for most now is the time to gather them
up and hit the compost. I'm Bree Tennis, I.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Love for It'd sports to the hardwoods we go because
I had no football to talk about.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Sons buy six over the seventy six ers.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Clippers lost to the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Warriors lost one hundred and forty five to twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
To the Raptors. Somebody out of maybe try playing some defense.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
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 Preds five to three, Lightning
one easy for to one over the Sharks, Blues lost
three to one to the Jets, and the Kings.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Won four to three over the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Birthdays today Jena Davis for League of their Own seventy
years old, singer Billy Ocean seventy six, and the lesser
known of the Spice Girls, Emma Button is fifty.
Speaker 3 (31:45):

They'll get those generators.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
We can't afford another day without my morning show, our
morning show. You're done, all right, go fund me account
for a Michael generator. I think it'd be much easier.
Just flies to Tampa, a little golf with a few shows,
and then come back home. When all the ice is melted.
This from Steve rule of thumb I use when it
comes to storm forecasts. As long as Jim Cantri isn't
(33:30):
doing a live remote from across the street, I know,
I'm fine. He's actually coming. That's the bad news. I
think he's coming to Nashville. And MJ wrote in Tampa,
come to the sunny side. I can't promise better roads,
but it will be sunny in seventy five. That's why
I thinking Tampa just makes a lot of sense. All right,
(33:50):
if you're just waking up. The President tried to go
to Switzerland, had to come back due to an electrical
issue in Air Force one switch planes arrived three hours late.
He's speaking right now in Davos, Switzerland at the Economic Summit.
Also Vice President jd Vance scheduled to be in Minneapolis
on tomorrow in a major winter storm expected to bring
ice a lot of snow for a massive stretch of
(34:12):
the country this week. President Trump will be speaking and
is speaking as we speak in Switzerland. What will that
impact be on Wall Street? I will say this. National
correspondent Roy O'Neil is joining us. Yesterday's sure looked valid.
I think we lost almost a thousand points, I think
on the doubt, didn't we Yeah, about.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Eight hundred points.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
Cryptocurrencies way down as well, Gold though was up strong.
We're still looking at oil over sixty dollars a barrel
right now, and we're still paying attention to what the
President has to say. As you know, Greenland was not
really going to be a topic a month ago, but
it's all anyone can talk about in Davos right now.
What we're hearing from the President in his speech so
far mostly focusing on his economic success from the past year.
(34:55):
If you watch the press conference yesterday, it's a lot
of the same talking points, the same lines, but yeah,
essentially touting investments now in things like nuclear energy and
trying to bring down the cost of gasoline. The President
recommending that other European nations follow America's lead and become
the compete to become the hottest country.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Do we know if he plans to address I would
think he will address the Switzerland issue. I hope he
can do it in a way that's effective. I think
everybody sitting in there is concerned about that.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
In tariffs right.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
Right, you know, let's see if he says it either
at the lectern or perhaps it will be in some
side meetings that are going to be happening as well. Yeah,
but we're all trying to figure out if Greenland enters
the topic here because this was supposed to be an
economic speech and even talking about how America and affordability
and how Americans his proposal to let us use four
(35:51):
oh one ks in order to get money into buy
a home, that was something that was expecsive to be
announced today. So again we're all standing by for him
to use the G word as it were. And then
of course tomorrow is going to be that peace plan
for Gaza. There's supposed to be the signatories on that
for the Peace Panel. I don't have enough money for
(36:13):
a generator.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't guess I have a billion dollars to be
a permanent member on that board.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Great reporting today, as always, Rory. I think the market
volatility is anytime the T word pops up tariffs, But
we'll get more clarity tomorrow. Our financial economist and money
with David Bonson will be joining us. All right, here's
the bottom line, Presidents in Davos. You're at Davos, You're
right where you're at and you got one chance to
(36:38):
live this Wednesday, January the twenty first, twenty twenty six.
It'll never happen again. I can't stress enough. Go make
a difference in someone's life, cherish your own, make every
second count, and we'll see you tomorrow morning for the
next your morning show.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Hill, Joano
Speaker 1 (37:00):
B.
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good morning, and welcome to your Morning Show with Michaelville Jordo.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is Flip Gregor from Hendersonville, Tennessee, the city by
the Lake. Y'all come see us now here one two three,
starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan and I.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Remember it all happened about twelve years ago when I
got up one morning and realized I had lost control
of my family, that my children were completely out of
control due to my failed parenting. Is come to my attention,
two years into your morning show, I have lost control
of this show to my misbehaved children and listeners. By
(01:10):
the way, I just got this Chris Rope. You asking
Jeffrey if he saw money coming out her backside caused
me to spit my coffee all over the kitchen table.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You will make my day better.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Uh. You know, we like to think of the symbolic
kitchen table as a mature place, but not always. I
loved this one. Apparently Renee felt the need to maybe
defend you. Hey Michael, he may not hit the button,
but just to note, Jeffrey does play the best bumper.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Music see until he loses them forever.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
A reporter claims that, due to the electrical problems of
Air Force one, Trump will be three hours late in
Davos and the attendees will be furious. I got news
for you. They were furious before he got there. Oh
my goodness. Well that's just some of them. Is this
legit Supreme Court sixty three ruling shakes the nation?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
My listeners are even asking questions, like you, Jeffrey, when
you you always? I see these emails all the time
to red red Is this true?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Supreme Court ruling? Emergency ruling shakes the nation? A suddenly?
I doubt it is, but doesn't look. I don't have
time to research that, but I'll look up look that
over keep the email.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Love. How Jeffrey thinks I actually know the answer? Lazy?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
He wants you to do the Google bad Trust reds research,
keep the emails coming to Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com,
and of course, use that talkback button on the iHeartRadio
app all right, nine minutes after the hour for you're
just waking up. The President had to return to Joint
Bass Andrews last night about eleven oh seven pm Eastern
due to a minor electrical problem in Air Force one.
Switched planes, it became Air Force one. He arrived now
(02:57):
and Davos. He will be at the meetings probably three
three and a half hours late. That's not going to
make the stairs any more frosty than they already would
have been. Contempt of Congress charges against the Clintons. We'll
go to a vote today. JD Vance and who share
expecting a child and a major winter storm is expected
to bring ice and snow to a massive stretch of
(03:18):
the country, which got us talking.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
About and then you all jumped on it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I mean, I don't know why they put us up
in a hotel in downtown Nashville to ensure that we'll
be here for you Monday.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I mean that may not be safe.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Why not, you know, just put us on a plane
send us down to Tampa, maybe or maybe not.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'll include my clubs. I don't know we're going there anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
You called Julie, But what we forgot about is DZ's
in Orlando. We could all just bunk up there. We'll
be to your neck of the nape of the neck.
That's why we'll be there. David, good morning. And you
can run clubs here. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well I'm a lefty. It's a little bit of a
big deal. But I can bring them, carry them. They
make left handed club zones.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm going to try to come just and carry my
clubs on on a Southwest flight. See what they just
to watch their reaction. So the main reason David's here,
we're going to stay focused. I want to do that
Atlantic article, and I hope if we have to go
to overtime, we can do that. Because the Atlantic is
who sets the narrative for the intelligentsia. The university professors
that are indoctrinating, for all the network heads who are indoctrinating,
(04:25):
and even they're saying all of this fraud in Minnesota,
to quote David Sinati, that's a big deal, and it's
a big problem for Democrats, and no one is listening
to the Atlantic. And what the Atlantic is suggesting is
two things. One, fraud's a big deal, and it should
You should care whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.
(04:47):
Since when do they not care based on the side
of the matrix? And two, you may not be willing
to address it. The media may not be willing to
address it, but voters will in the midterm.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We'll talk more about that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
The The other is the latest Wall Street Journal poll,
which clearly shows the Republicans trusted by voters more than
Democrats overall by twenty eight percent, but on every key
issue except vaccines and healthcare, and neither of which are
driving narratives right now heading into the midterm elections. So
(05:23):
how could the Republicans have the voters trust yet the
Democrats have a four point advantage in a generic congressional poll.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I mean, how can that be?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Senior contributor CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host of
The Public Square, David Sinati, our senior contributor, joining us
here to try to answer that one.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, that's a great question, and I turned to our
good friend doctor W. B. Allen, who at the end
of last year published a paper with the Heritage Foundation
on first Principles. It titled Three eighteenth century Revolutions British, American,
French and three Pathways to Modernity. Now this kind of
sounds academic, and don't turn the dial. The point is
(06:04):
is that he went the whole way back to the
colonial era and back to the writings of King George
the Third from the time he was seventeen years old,
and went through the characters who were around the time
of the founding, particularly on the British side of the equation,
and talked about political parties, where they came from, how
they came into Western thought, and how they came into
(06:25):
America from England, from people like Edmund Burke and others.
And in that he set some definitions that I think
exactly applied to this story. When you go back in
history and you study the history of political parties in
Great Britain and in the United States, there are two
kinds of parties. There are programmatic parties and they're ideological parties.
Programmatic parties are built on policy. This is what we're
(06:49):
going to do, and the voters will hold us accountable
because here's our agenda as it relates to the economy
and foreign policy and energy and all those questions. The
other a party is an ideological party. An ideological party
is based upon protest against the power that's there, based
on personality, and fundamentally is after the power.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Ideological parties want power.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Right now in America, Americans respond to the policy that
they see coming from the Republican side of the debate
and say, yes, those policies make sense. The other side says,
we don't give a rats rand about policy. It's all
about personality and protests and power.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Is it just one side?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I mean, as you were explaining that, I was thinking
of America as a whole, and that is I think
we lived like that, with the exception of Wilson, who
got ideological. Some might say with the exception of Ronald
Reagan who got very ideological, but he was returning to
our intent. But I thought America played the policy party
(07:58):
game very well. There weren't that much differences between the
two parties. So a policy would come to mind to
solve a problem that the other failed. But really the
last twenty you could probably say, starting with George W. Bush,
I don't mean that as a slam. But at that
point we left the ranch and when completely ideologically impassioned
(08:20):
and focused. Now we are in a partisan dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, ideological is a difficult word because people think that
means about ideas.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, that's exactly the opposite.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
A programmatic party is one that's basically functioned on ideas
and policies. And so people will excuse me, respond to
the policies now, or they'll respond to the power in
the personalities. You multiply that by technology, television and now
social media and the Internet, and what you end up
with is not a debate about where we're going as
(08:51):
a country. End up with a soap opera, and that's really.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Where we're going right now, a reality TV and the
left wards say with Donald Trump literally all right, David's
Anati's senior contributor joining us.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
All right, So.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Looking at America, and you've done this because you've done
it in Christmas in America, and I know your team
at the Public Square have done that comparing and I
think they go together. I think it's not one or
the other. It's one plus one plus one and it
doesn't equal just three. But when you all look back
at when radio came about and the impact or the
(09:27):
transformative influence that had on politics, and then television starting
with Kennedy and the impact and influence that had on politics,
and then you add the twenty four hour cable influence,
and then lastly social media. I'm just guessing you guys
(09:50):
have made a life of studying this. But radio TV
to a point, twenty four hour news until it shifted
from new into entertainment, those were like equal steps, nothing
like the out of control cable influence. And then the Internet.
(10:10):
I think that's where we've spun out of control we
have now.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, I can remember a meeting, a private one of
those airport meetings with Dick Cheney years ago that somehow
I managed to get invited to a dozen people talking
about the state of affairs at that time, and Cheney
said the biggest difference that he experienced from being a
member of Congress than being the vice presidency was to
change from the two day news cycle to the twenty
(10:35):
four hour news cycle. Well, now we're in a thirty
second news cycle, and that acceleration has changed everything and
it's basically left traditional media in the dust.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They can't keep up anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Most journalism today is simply repeating what was put on
X or Facebook because it's so fast and it's so intense.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But its opinion driven, narrative driven, not fact driven. That's
what's dangerous, right, So there is a difference.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
The article you discussed in the polls that we're talking
about do show there's a difference between how people feel
about policy and then how they feel about personality. And
that will be, of course, what Trump's opponents will mobilize on.
This will be a referendum on Donald Trump. The goal
will be to keep the Trump base home, which has
(11:21):
been done before in other elections. They don't always show up,
and since he's not on the ballot, then their goal
will be to keep them home so they can simply
accelerate the people who wish they had something different. And
what they'll be told is if you give us the
power of Congress, will end the Trump regime.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's the game.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
So just so if you're just joining us, Wall Street
Journal comes out with a new poll, which party do
you trust more with the serious issues? By an overwhelming
twenty eight percent advantage, it's the Republican Party. And if
you go issue by issue, and I'm talking the key
issues from immigration to the economy, to foreign policy and
national security.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Is Republican, Republican or brown?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
And then you ask them the question of how they
plan to vote the midterms, and they got a four
point advantage for the Democrats. So are we in the
business of electing what we don't trust? Or David's explaining
to you the difference between an issue oriented voter and
an emotional I think we would say very shirts and
skins partisan voter, and they don't care. And that's why
(12:27):
we often say, you got to solve the matrix, You
got to solve the social dilemma, you got to solve
the death of journalism, or every day we're going to
not be able to solve whatever circumstance or policy challenge
we have. It will be impossible until you solve that dysfunction.
When we come back. I do think re looking at
(12:50):
how different the Atlantic is from CNN or the Washington Post.
I mean, these are the guys that call the plays
for all the people that cause all the plays in
legacy media, and they're saying, stop, this kind of fraud matters,
(13:11):
and it doesn't just it shouldn't just matter to Republicans
and Democrats alike, and if you continue to ignore it,
it's going to matter in consequence in elections. Since when
does the Atlantic tell the biased media what to say
and they don't listen. When we continue with David Zanati
in a moment, I want to thank a new sponsor again,
(13:31):
this time in Cognate. I'm going to lay it out
for you just straight. The nuances are one. I don't
like that people can just text me, call me, or
know where I live. So maybe you want privacy taken
care of. Maybe you shop online a lot, and whether
you actually go through with the purchase or not, someone's
(13:52):
got your data. This is all the things that Incognate
does because your personal information is valuable and it's are
more accessible than you realize. And every time you shop online,
your data is collected, packaged and sold to data brokers,
and you are classified and in some cases you are harassed,
but in many cases you're qualified. In other words, I
(14:14):
can be looking at the same hotel as you. It'll
tell you there's no vacancy. It'll tell me there's plenty
of rooms, and here's the best rate. You need protection.
It fuels kind of a secret shadow score that needs
to be addressed. So there's many reasons to look at incognate,
and not only does in cognate quietly work to wipe
(14:35):
your personal data from all these different search sites and
data brokers and hidden databases that keep doing it because
if you try to do it, you'd run out of patience.
We say it this way, they can't scam you if
they can't find you. Take your personal data back within cognate.
(14:56):
In cognate i n Cogni gets sixty percent off the
regular price when you use my name Michael, that's Michael.
When you go to in cognit dot com, slash Michael,
sixty percent off. Use the name Michael at in cognitate
dot com, slash Michael that's in cognitate dot com forward
slash Michael.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The President has made it to Davos, Switzerland after a
little bit of a malfunction with one of the Air
Force ones. Contempt of Congress charges could be coming to
the Clintons today and major winter storms are coming. We've
got to pick a meteorologist maybe and have them on
and get to the bottom of this. And then we're
trying to scramble and I think we're all going to
DZ's house, all right. Visiting with David Sinati, CEO of
(15:43):
the American Policy round Table, host of The Public Square.
We kind of went in depth and do how is
it that voters could trust Republicans more if you're discussing
issue by issue but then have a four percent lead
in the generic congressional polling. David gave a long, historical,
very reasonable expert explanation for how we become double minded
and the influences of internet and biased traditional media. Now
(16:09):
let's get to the Atlantic, which really usually controls the
narrative not only for the universities, but also for the networks.
And they're saying, stop ignoring this fraud thing. That's a
big deal what happened in Minnesota, and ignoring it's not
going to get you anywhere. This is going to be
a big problem for your party if you continue to
ignore it. But no one's listening, David.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, and the reason no one's listening, Michael, is because
we have built two generations of people on the notion
that identity politics is moral, that it's actually virtuous, And
what that puts us is between a majority and a
non majority population. So I'm going to use my terms
carefully because knowing that the Atlantic and others continually keep
(16:47):
listening to your morning show, the question that we have
is it depends on who's doing the crime, because if
certain non majoritarian groups are doing then then there's a
certain sense of well, hey, they deserve a break.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But the Atlantic asks in this piece we'll get twenty seconds,
so we'll do it more. Right after the break, we're
gonna go into overtime. Maybe it just sounds the day
together too, but the Atlantic's making it crystal clear.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Look, fraud matters. It should matter to everybody, and if it's.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Happening in a blue state it's Democrats allowing or benefiting
from it, that should bother democrats too, and they continue
to ignore that as well.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Hey, this is top Cop Kathy Hinters, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Joorno.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Hey it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Your Morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here now.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Enjoy the podcast. This is your morning show.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'm Michael del Journo, honored to serve you, Jeffrey serving
all all of us, Red serving all of us. You
just heard Mike McCann say, and I've been fascinated this
my whole life.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I may or may not have written a liner, but I.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Find the most intelligent people are the most curious. It's
very laborious at best to be intelligent and not be curious.
So curiosity kind of drives information, and that leads to
intelligence and ultimately arrives at understanding, which is what this
(18:29):
show is all about, and a conversation so we can
arrive together. However, having said that, listening to two very curious,
two very intelligent people talk for five straight minutes during
the break, I don't know if I have understanding right now,
nor do I know how to recap what you and
Red were talking about. I think some of it was
(18:49):
in the Don Lemon tirade, which has to do with
christ and Christianity being about white supremacy.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I don't know how you arrive at that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And then you know, a lot of this partisan politics
being driven by narratives over really facts and morals and
thought but I find it fascinating that the Atlantic that
I know, informs the intelligentsia. I mean, that's what's on
the professor's desks as they decide what to indoctrinate our
(19:25):
children with. And that's what's on the desks of the
executives in Hollywood at ABC, NBCCBS, at CNM, and they're
all saying, this fraud in Minnesota should matter to you
if you're a leftist or a righty, a Republican or
a Democrat.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Fraud's bad.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
And this kind of fraud with eighty indictments already and
the drip drip drip of more to come, which could
include a member of the United States Congress, a governor,
who knows who else, it's going to matter. Oh, and
they can time it. And so what the Atlantic is
saying is it should matter to everyone. Why doesn't end
(20:05):
And oh, by the way, wake up, it's going to
be a big problem for the Democrats. And then we
asked David, and then we were short because we were
headed to the break, why isn't anybody listening? And you
kind of started that explanation. Then you and Read kind
of went in a different direction, maybe combined both of
them and explained to us what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Because I think let me throw one more story into it.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Recently, I met a doctor in the southern parts of
the United States. New individual that I met came here
from an African country legally immigrated to the United States
as a legitimate, legal immigrant citizen. And we were having
a conversation and he asked me about the kind of
work that we do, and I explained him public policy
and media and so on and so forth. You have
very quiet for a second, and then he got this
(20:47):
young man, he got this rise smile on his face,
and one of these guys who's blessed with this beautiful voice.
And he says to me, so, what do you think
about Minnesota and minneapoli us? And he waited and I
looked at him. I said, Doc, what do you think?
He said, I'll tell you what I think. I work
two jobs as a doctor to make a living and
(21:10):
take care of my family. Those people are crooks. How
do we let them get away with this? Now that's
the story that everyone would like an answer for, regardless
of their political situation.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I said, how do they get away with it?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Let me tell you, doc, they get away with it
because other people don't have the courage to challenge them.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
And that's because we've been conditioned by tribalism.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And yet the Atlantic, and yet the Atlantic is saying
it would be a big mistake for Democrat Chres to
try to duck and dodge this.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now you'll notice, however, they're saying they're not going to
get away with it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And I wonder, Michael, you're exactly right.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
What I wonder is is that they're token symbolic saying
of like, Okay, make sure we say it's bad, and
then ignore it for the rest of the time. Why
isn't the Atlantic lead this investigation? Commonation? I think that.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I go back to the Time magazine February of twenty
twenty one piece, and I remember I was standing in
my front yard and I was on the phone with you,
and I said, all right, this is the manifesto. So
remember at that time, what we're all fighting about is
the election rigged. It led to January sixth in terms
(22:29):
of some people being ginned up or paid up to
cause trouble. And then the Atlanta comes out with this piece. Now,
so while everybody's saying, you can't say this election was rigged,
not that Hillary didn't say in twenty sixteen, but never
mind that in the midst of that it is taboo.
You cannot say those words. Here comes the Time magazine
piece entitled The Shadow Campaign to Save the Democracy, in
(22:53):
which all the principles and several of which went on
to be in Biden's cabinet, are telling you we cheated,
and here's how we cheated. Here's what we were going to
do with cheating that.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Here's why we cheated, because we had a moral reason.
We had a moral reason.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We had to cheat the demo democracy. And I looked
at you and I said, is this just like a
point of record? So when this scandal is in all
the courts and in all the news, they can say, well,
we didn't hide it, we said it. And I'm wondering
if so that's the Atlantic playing the game. We covered
it so we can reference back to it. But if
they're serious about it, we're going to see more and
(23:28):
more articles.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
The investigation exactly right, and that Time magazine article, as
valuable as it is, only told half the story. For example,
what's the difference between Donald Trump with Donald Trump's trying
to do now and pushing the envelope at every level.
And what John put Esta was doing, sitting completely unnoticed
by the Atlantic and everyone else in the White House,
writing trillions of dollars of checks on the Green New
(23:52):
Deal to people around the country, around the world to
sustain the global warming agenda.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
What's the differenentference? There is no difference.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's just one was one has talked about out loud
because it's Trump and the other isn't. Well, there may
be a bonus visit with you tomorrow. But to kind
of go full circle, how is it the Democrats are
and I use the word tech teaching because it's a
tactic and it's a strategy.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So tack tegic.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That's a new word written that writing down simultaneously.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
We'll write this down while you're there. All of the
above matrix. What are the other things? I say too much,
but they are. They are attempting to turn everything on
its head. So picture it as hills in military terms,
hills completely owned by the Republicans. They're trying to turn
upside down and on. So they create the immigration problem.
(24:44):
Donald Trump solves it. The spickett is turned off. There
is no one entering this country illegally and I mean
zero two million self deported and the really bad guys
these are the drug traffickers and may I add Mexico
just sent thirty seven more cartel mem here. Are you
happy keep doing this because we don't want you to
take our president out? You're caught up in the narrative,
(25:07):
but the consequence for the world leaders is far different,
and they're responding to the credibility. But make a long
story short, two million of self deported. He's getting rid
of the rapist, the gang members, the murderers, the thieves,
and they're trying to turn it upside down on a
narrative game that he's a tyrant and will it work.
(25:29):
They're trying to do the same thing with the economy. Now,
I believe it has nothing to do with the presidencies
as much as and out of control Congress that has
spent you in debt to oblivion.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
But they're trying to say.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Things are not affordable because of Donald Trump and ignore
everything that's not affordable because of Barack Obama's Obamacare or
Joe Biden's I don't know what that was on steroids,
But now big beautiful deal and tariffs are the problem.
My question to you to close with is it could
be just to blunt the strengths of the Republicans and
(26:04):
then once the midterms really kick in, just make it
a full out referendum on Trump. I think that's the
tactgic or the strategy to the tactic. But after looking
at this Wall Street Journal poll, I'm wondering can they
pull it off? If everybody will ignore facts and just
be emotional, they might be able to do it well.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Washington Post came out today with a counter article, taking
a combination of half a dozen polls going back to
October of last year till now, saying that if you
look at the if you look at the other issues
Americans concerned about, they can't stand the Republicans. So clearly
they realize this is where the you're on it. It
is where the fight's going to be. But right now,
the people who have the money and control the next
(26:42):
election view this as a reality television show. They are
counting on on Donald Trump outliving his shelf life. The
best thing I've heard this week on this program was
Carafano's comment. The Colonel Carafinal's comment on Donald Trump is
an eighty year old man in a hurry, and he
is wearing people out.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That's what they're coming on.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
David's Nati, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, hosts of
the Public Square heard on two Inner stations, and our
senior contributor, I suspect you'll be called back into action,
and maybe we'll be at the table with you later
in the week as we're trying to exile somewhere somewhere
not only warm and safe for broadcast, but maybe I
could sneak around of golfing.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Thank you, David.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Right for the rest of you, you got about fifteen
minutes to be to work by eight o'clock in the
Central Times, and let's get you up to speed. Contempt
of Congress charges it's coming to Clinton's way, maybe as
soon as today then.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
It's According to Republican Congressman James Comer, who heads the
gop Lenhouse Committee looking into the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, former
President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn't
show up for their scheduled depositions last week, accusing Republicans
of selective prosecution.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
The Clintons and several other.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Officials were sippeented in a bipartisan vote last summer.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I'm Mark Neephield.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
A federal judge is refusing to temporarily block a newly
reinstated Department of Homeland Security policy that would limit lawmakers'
access to ICE detention centers.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
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
(28:27):
procedural vehicle to challenge it, and concluded the previous order
did not apply. I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I don't know how to do this setup. You can
tell a lot about an individual by looking at their children.
You ever been around somebody that's trying to portray themselves
as mister dad and when he goes to overplay the
hugging his kid, the kid flinches and you're like.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hey, what really goes on in their house? It's kind
of how I feel about this story. The Canadian military
has reportedly drawn up a response model to a hypothetical
US invasion.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Does anybody is anything.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
In Canada really think the US military is considering an
invasion and if we did, you could do anything about it?
Sarah ly Kessler reports and has more.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
The Globe and Mail are citing two senior government officials
in Canada saying the response with center on insurgency style
tactics similar to those used in Afghanistan by resistance fighters
against the Soviets and later the US. President Trump has
repeatedly talked about making Canada America's fifty first state. Late Monday,
(29:29):
he posted an image on social media showing Canada and
Venezuela covered by the American flag. I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I gotta tell you the first time my son played
me this song, I was like, this is a smash.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Smash hit.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Bruno Mars is on top of the charts again this week.
Sixteen time Grammy winners new song I Just Might debut
at number one twenty three point five million streams during
its first time out. Mars is now the fourth solo
male singer and tenth to have more than ten or
(30:09):
more number one and look at the group. He ends
up in along with Drake Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.
Yeah he's that good. Oh Andy replaced Taylor Swift, knocked
her out of the number one spot.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
You'd love it a little lecture more for that, don't we.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
This is not a good day for your household plants,
especially the ones who you bought to make the holidays
feel a little bit more like the holidays. Nobody tracks
these things, but our Bree Tennis does.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
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,
(30:59):
but for most now is the time to gather them
up and hit the compost. I'm Bree Tennis, I.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Love for It'd sports to the hardwoods we go because
I had no football to talk about.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Sons buy six over the seventy six ers.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Clippers lost to the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Warriors lost one hundred and forty five to twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
To the Raptors. Somebody out of maybe try playing some defense.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
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 Preds five to three, Lightning
one easy for to one over the Sharks, Blues lost
three to one to the Jets, and the Kings.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Won four to three over the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Birthdays today Jena Davis for League of their Own seventy
years old, singer Billy Ocean seventy six, and the lesser
known of the Spice Girls, Emma Button is fifty.

They'll get those generators.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
We can't afford another day without my morning show, our
morning show. You're done, all right, go fund me account
for a Michael generator. I think it'd be much easier.
Just flies to Tampa, a little golf with a few shows,
and then come back home. When all the ice is melted.
This from Steve rule of thumb I use when it
comes to storm forecasts. As long as Jim Cantri isn't
(33:30):
doing a live remote from across the street, I know,
I'm fine. He's actually coming. That's the bad news. I
think he's coming to Nashville. And MJ wrote in Tampa,
come to the sunny side. I can't promise better roads,
but it will be sunny in seventy five. That's why
I thinking Tampa just makes a lot of sense. All right,
(33:50):
if you're just waking up. The President tried to go
to Switzerland, had to come back due to an electrical
issue in Air Force one switch planes arrived three hours late.
He's speaking right now in Davos, Switzerland at the Economic Summit.
Also Vice President jd Vance scheduled to be in Minneapolis
on tomorrow in a major winter storm expected to bring
ice a lot of snow for a massive stretch of
(34:12):
the country this week. President Trump will be speaking and
is speaking as we speak in Switzerland. What will that
impact be on Wall Street? I will say this. National
correspondent Roy O'Neil is joining us. Yesterday's sure looked valid.
I think we lost almost a thousand points, I think
on the doubt, didn't we Yeah, about.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Eight hundred points.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
Cryptocurrencies way down as well, Gold though was up strong.
We're still looking at oil over sixty dollars a barrel
right now, and we're still paying attention to what the
President has to say. As you know, Greenland was not
really going to be a topic a month ago, but
it's all anyone can talk about in Davos right now.
What we're hearing from the President in his speech so
far mostly focusing on his economic success from the past year.
(34:55):
If you watch the press conference yesterday, it's a lot
of the same talking points, the same lines, but yeah,
essentially touting investments now in things like nuclear energy and
trying to bring down the cost of gasoline. The President
recommending that other European nations follow America's lead and become
the compete to become the hottest country.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Do we know if he plans to address I would
think he will address the Switzerland issue. I hope he
can do it in a way that's effective. I think
everybody sitting in there is concerned about that.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
In tariffs right.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
Right, you know, let's see if he says it either
at the lectern or perhaps it will be in some
side meetings that are going to be happening as well. Yeah,
but we're all trying to figure out if Greenland enters
the topic here because this was supposed to be an
economic speech and even talking about how America and affordability
and how Americans his proposal to let us use four
(35:51):
oh one ks in order to get money into buy
a home, that was something that was expecsive to be
announced today. So again we're all standing by for him
to use the G word as it were. And then
of course tomorrow is going to be that peace plan
for Gaza. There's supposed to be the signatories on that
for the Peace Panel. I don't have enough money for
(36:13):
a generator.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't guess I have a billion dollars to be
a permanent member on that board.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Great reporting today, as always, Rory. I think the market
volatility is anytime the T word pops up tariffs, But
we'll get more clarity tomorrow. Our financial economist and money
with David Bonson will be joining us. All right, here's
the bottom line, Presidents in Davos. You're at Davos, You're
right where you're at and you got one chance to
(36:38):
live this Wednesday, January the twenty first, twenty twenty six.
It'll never happen again. I can't stress enough. Go make
a difference in someone's life, cherish your own, make every
second count, and we'll see you tomorrow morning for the
next your morning show.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
