d C. We'd love to have you listen live every
day and make us a part of your morning routine.
But better late than never.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast well two three starting your morning off right,
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Because we're in the stigild this is your morning show
with Michael Dell Charn.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We now enter the wings portion of this morning show,
your morning show, Red Bull Time seven minutes after the hour.
Thanks for waking up with us and taking us along
with you on the drive to work. Welcome to Tuesday,
January the twenty eighth, The av Our Lawn.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
President Trump signed a number of executive orders to ban
any diversity related programs in the military. We've also had
eight thousand plus troops that were discharged for refusing the
vaccine reinstated with back pay a quick Columbian fold. Suddenly,
after a threat of a twenty five percent tariff, they're
setting their own planes with their own gas to.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Pick up their own thugs.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafanoho, I think is one of the
finest military and foreign policy minds. I can't, but this
is our first visit of the new year.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
It is and uh and and and defitting our relationship.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I'm in Berlin. You know, how'd I do? Yeah? That's so.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
The funny thing is what you know, Eiedenberliner, which is
what Kennedy said, right right, translated correctly. I remember my
little son when we live in Germany, and you know
there Kennedy stops again. There's a street named after kingo
Villin he said, he said he was avent.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
No, he said, every buddy that believes in freedom is
a Berliner. All right, so let's start with you're a
jelly donut. Uh, let's start with the commander. Actually, wait,
what's that.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
That's actually what the literal translation of I'm Berliner is,
I am a jelly donut.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It didn't mean I'm a berliner, a berliner like he thought.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
No, you know, a berliner is a donut. That's what
they call them. Theer donut.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh, cataphobia one of our most historic moments.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
He didn't say I am from Berlin, or I am
a Berlin person. He said, I am a jelly donut.
That's I'm not making that up.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
That's my little five.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Year old son that he knew he had better German
than than John Kenny.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
What do you saying, Well, of course your kids smarter
than me, and nothing nothing surprising about that. All right,
let's let's start with what a different you know there
there's a big headline the border agents recording shockingly low numbers.
Just suddenly, instead of four thousand crossing every day, only
five hundred and eighty two are trying to cross. That's
just setting the metal. There's a new sheriff, there's a
new president, this is a new wage we had the
(03:13):
Colombian folks. We also have a new commander in chief
and with that comes credibility and the reinstatement of eight
thousand plus troops. What a remarkable first week of this presidency.
How is the world reacting?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Well, First of all, the one thing that all Americans
have to remember is how seckless the Biden administration was.
So the President Biden repeatedly said, oh, I can't deal
with Congress has to give me more power, more money,
I've done everything I can. That was an utter lie.
Literally in days, President Trump is creating a safe re border.
(03:50):
So what you never forget is that Joe Biden lied
to you, He lied to your faith, and he knowingly lie.
The rest of the world is kind of in shock.
They're either in oh my god, am I going to
be next? Or there is like I want to be
Donald Trump's best friend. So that's kind of the two
responses you get, particularly here in Europe.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
All right, so let's start with fact number one. So
appeasement has always emboldened digressors. So if you show weakness,
people who are of the ilk to misbehave misbehave more.
So there is actually proven peace through strength in this
(04:32):
particular case with Donald Trump. I mean, what we see
along the border may translate to other issues. In other words,
when you because I've said all along, He's not gonna
do these tariffs to everyone. He wants to address China
right building cheap electric vehicles right across our border in
Mexico and sending them over just like they send.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Over illegals over the poorestport.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
How does the message to Columbia translate to China, let
alone Russia and Ukraine let alone in the Middle East.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Think you know it has to be interpreted correctly. You know,
there are lots of there are lots of things you
can do with tariffs. You can use them for national
security purposes, like what we're gonna do with the Chinese,
which is to to punish, or you can do it
like you did with Columbia, which is this is not
(05:27):
about generating revenue dealing with markets. This is sending the
Colombians a very clear message that you are compromising our
national security and you have to start and you don't
have to send an eighty second airborne. You don't have to.
You just have to show them you're serious. I'll tell
you a story which is hilarious. I got lectured last night.
(05:47):
I don't want to tell you by who who was
like a and they're saying, how could you treat your
Colombian ally that way that when you have illegal refugees,
you have to negotiate a treaty like we did, and
they take sometimes it's years, and I go, you guys,
just don't get it to you. It's Trumps can operate.
He's not going to wait years and get pulled around
(06:08):
by for a country that's not doing exactly what it's
supposed to do, it's going to make a statement. And honestly,
I think that the Columbia's respected that they changed their
tune in five minutes because they realized they were wrong
and it wasn't worth it to antagonize the United States.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Joining us from Berlin, where it is afternoon this morning
is Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. You know, I've often said
that America's kind of figured out what doesn't work. I
don't know they've connected the dots of what the right
thing to do is. Take the border for example. It's interesting,
you know, like in Colorado we had that immediate arrest
(06:45):
of all these drug lords and gang members and violent
criminals proven, and one week after Donald Trump takes office,
we're in Colorado we're rounding them up. That would suggest
that the previous administration knew right where they were, all
the flies they had committed and did nothing. This is
going to have a different effect on America. As he
(07:06):
does what's right, They're going to see what's wrong even
more clearly, aren't they.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Well, I mean, I think this is this is what
we all expected. We saw what donalds on did for
forty years. We saw what Joe Biden did for four years,
and the American voters just didn't have a choice. They
actually had two records to look at it. It's like,
you know, two football teams. One's got an zero to
ten in a you know game, and the other ones
twelve And oh, I mean, which team is going to
make the Super Bowl? I mean I think it's pretty clear.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So we had this.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
CIA joined the FBI in believing that the origins of
COVID was a wuhan leak. Right, we have Trump reinstading
eight thousand troops. Uh, we have Fauci taking a pardon
you know. Uh are all these stories related? I mean,
this is one of the greatest.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Well, what's really key about this is if folks, this
is uh, you know, John Radcliffe actually cheered for us
of the Hurdish Foundation. A commission that looked at the
origins of COVID, and the independent commission concluded that it
was probably loudly and so John Ratliff goes in to
take over the CIA.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He didn't the.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
CIA to change their findings. He goes down and he
found but the CIA under.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Joe Oops, I think we got in there you cut
out you.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Oh sorry that that the CIA concluded under Joe Biden
that this was probably leaked from a Chinese lab.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So Biden knew this, and.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
He lied to the American people, held this information in
American people. And and this was governance by by by lying,
you know, governance by denying Americans knowledge of what the
governments actually during the results you're having.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So what about the ret.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I was gonna say, what about the Paul Harvey rest
of the story, which is Fauci's involvement and gain of
function research the Milken Institute with scientists who talked about, well,
take us a decade, it would take us billions of
dollars to get this new technology approved to get away
from egg vaccines. And then the other guy chimes up,
(09:25):
but what if we had an Asian virus and it
became an emergency?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And then what about everything that China did immediately to
protect China but jeopardize the rest of the world. And
was the leak even accidental or on purpose? I mean,
Donald Trump is ruling the world, China is suffering terribly,
and after this leak, well, Donald Trump's gone. Two years later,
(09:51):
the economy is shut down, through bad advice. I mean,
are we going to get to the bottom of all
of this truth? Because this is one of the great
hoaxes ever carried out on the American people? And and
I might add one point two million people died, and
I would think, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat,
you want to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Well.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
And in the end, all Joe Biden wanted to do
was hide the reality of all that because he was
afraid if he said the truth that he would have
to hold people accountable, and he would have to hold
China accountable. So rather than people hold people accountable for
the evils that they did, he just chose to ignore it.
(10:30):
It would be like if we had won World War two,
who we are in the eightieth anniversary of Auschwitt, if
we would have gone to and cleaned up the camp
because he couldn't let anybody know what the Holocaust happened.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Just that level of deception and evil. And this is look,
the one thing you can have in a democracy is
lack of transparency and lack of accountability. And what did
Joe Biden want to do? He wanted to control all
content so there was no lack of transparency, and he
wanted every outcome to ensure that no matter what happened,
(11:05):
good or bad, key and anyone connected, it was what
I held accountable for it. It was the absolute opposite
of democracy. And when when they said this is a
work for democracy, they were really really right, except he
was the enemy.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The loss of trust is our is the greatest damage
that was and there's no is there any way to
get that trust back without coming clean and doing it
through the.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Truth, transpancy, and accountability. It's just like nobody should touch
trust Donald Trump. Nobody should trust I'm not to say
I think you shouldn't believe him. You shouldn't believe Donald Trump.
But he says I'm going to secure the border. You
should have you should have accountability, and you have transpancy.
The only reason why people believe Donald Trump is because
they look at the numbers and they see in supporting
(11:53):
people in securing the work. That's how governments supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, we know it was eight thousand plus troops and
I'm so glad they were reinstated, and I'm so glad
with back pay, But what about the millions of Americans
who were forced to take a vax or lost their job.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
What are the ramifications down the line for them? As
the truth is revealed, time will.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Tell you when they say when they say elections have consequences,
I mean you know those numbers. You have to add
into that the war in Ukraine, the people that died
in Israel, the tragedy all over the world that resulted
from the people that die every day because they don't
(12:29):
have electricity because Joe Biden thinks they I need to
have great energy which they can't get. So the misery
that he called is in the tens of millions. But
the people that suffer because of human trafficking as a
result of border his clients earned the tens of millions.
I know what.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Easy to fix us into a schedule that is separated
by a notion in six hours, But thanks so much
for finding time with us. You can read James Carafano's
great work and his colleagues great work at heritage dot org.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Safe your poem from Germany.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
James, all right, twenty minutes after the hour, we'd come back,
got one, not two, not three, but your top five
stories of the day. Next half hour more confirmation hearings
are scheduled this week. I believe Pam Bondi and RFK
is tomorrow, and I think Telsey Gabbard and Cash Pateel
our Thursday. I think I got that straight. We'll check
(13:22):
it out with your top five stories the day next
on your morning show.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
If you went into the new year saying you wanted
to prioritize safety, don't abandon that resolution.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You gotta have a plan. What is your plan if
you put in a situation that demands personal protection? I
got a plan. It's the burna less lethal launcher. Now
I'm a gun owner, but this is a great compliment
to owning a firearm. What if there was a way
to effectively defend yourself, de escalate a situation without the
(13:57):
irreversible consequences of using force, something that you have to
make a decision on on a split second. Oh, but
it'll be scrutinized in court for months and years, not
to mention, you'd have to live with it. And that's
why I find the burner launchers such a great compliment
when you want a less lethal approach. It's legal in
fifty states, no permit needed, no background check needed. I
(14:21):
own one myself. It's great for family members too. The
Burner launcher has powerful deterrence like teargas and kinetic rounds
with a sixty foot range. One shot can incapacitate an
attacker for up to forty minutes. With Burna, you save
two lives.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Trusted by over five hundred government agencies, police departments, and
private security firms with over fourteen thousand, four and a
half star reviews, why don't you check them out online today?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Scott Assent is the next US Treasury Secretary.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
The Ya's are sixty eights, the nay's are twenty nine.
The confirmation is confirmed. The Senate voted on Monday to
approve the X hedge Fund manager. The sixty two year
old percent will oversee the irs and influence the nation's
fiscal policy.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, Columbia, that only had a quick fold and a
change of heart. They're setting their own planes with their
own gas to get their own thugs.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
It comes after the White House and the Colombian government
agreed to President Trump's terms after threatening tariffs.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
According to the White House, Columbia.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Agreed to the terms that include the unrestricted acceptance of
all illegal aliens being returned from the United States. It
added the US will hold off tariffs and sanctions unless
Columbia fails to honor this agreement. Trump threatened retaliatory measures
after Columbia to night entry to a pair of US
military deportation planks.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
All right, So where is the best place to retire
in twenty twenty five? Pretty much the same place it's
been to retire for the last several decades. No big
shockgre Brian Shook as the final tally. That's according to
a new study by wallet Hub. The Sunshine State was
ranked number one for retirement nationwide due to its low
taxes for retirees and the funding it receives for seniors
(16:15):
from the Older Americans Act, which funds transportation and nutrition
programs for older residents. Some of the other best states
to retire include Minnesota, Colorado, and Wyoming, while Kentucky was
named the worst.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Today we celebrate what is considered by some to be
one of the most annoying musical instruments ever made.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Pre Tennis with more on National Kazoo Day.
Speaker 10 (16:39):
The kazoo is considered a musical instrument, although you really
don't need any training to play one. Coffin referred to
as a joke. But many famous musicians have featured the
kazoo on songs than Gringo Starr, the Stones, Clapton, even
Pink Floyd, so it can't be all that bad. They
all come from one place called the Kazoo Factory in
South Carolina. Say they sell five thousand every day, so
(17:02):
there's still a chance you could be a rock star.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I'm Bree Tennis and that's your top five stories of
the day. Hey, this is John Watson.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
My Morning show is your morning show with Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in c Apple. Make us a
part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you
listen live but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
If you're just waking up.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Fifty two percent of likely registered voters say they do
believe we have entered the golden age of America. Think
of everything Donald Trump has been demonized with in nine
ten years. You were told he's the devil himself, he's
a threat to democracy, he's a tyrant, he's a dictator,
he's going to destroy the soul of America. He's going
(18:02):
to destroy democracy. One week into his presidency, the majority
of the American people think we've entered a golden age.
Talk about an overton window. Ama says eight of the
remaining twenty six hostages are dead. Will that number hold?
How will that impact the stability of the peace talks.
(18:27):
Jim Acosta is not headed overnights on CNN. He's being fired.
Is that a CNN olive branch to the Trump administration?
After all, they had no greater antagon antagonist in the
first four years. Peter probably gets our Loser of the
Day award. First of all, does anybody really think the
(18:48):
Groundhog Day is abusive to the groundhog? There's no food
insecurity for the groundhog and being handled and held up
in cheers. It is hardly abused. But the worst part
is you can't replace something unless you got something better
to replace it with. What's Peter's big idea, a vegan
(19:13):
weather revealed cake instead of Groundhog Day. Don't expect that
to catch on anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Sounds of the day hit it. She's gonna get smoked.
He's got to be stopped. I really don't know what
he said at the end of this, and I don't
think he knows what he said either. Not sure I
know what I said. It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
I'm going I'm going in, how do you like my garbage?
I love your garbage truck? All right?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, if you don't know it, Doge, the face of
Doge has been Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. Uh, they're
in all kinds of rumors about disagreements between Vivey and Musk.
Bottom line is, if you didn't know it already, he's
(20:05):
going to be stepping aside because he believes in the Constitution,
he believes in states rights, and he's going to be
the next governor of his home state of Ohio.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He made that clear on Fox yesterday.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Well, the realities. I'm pursuing an elected office very shortly.
We'll have an announcement soon. But Jesse, things are off
to a great start. I think President Trump has proven
look at the actions that you took in that first week,
the most pro merit president I think we've had in
a long time. And as for my vision, grounded in
constitutional law in the future of the country, I think
it's best pursued through elected office, and I'm confident that
they're going to succeed in slashing and burning that federal bureaucracy.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
People are saying you didn't get along with Musk, what
happened there.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
I think that's incorrect. But what I would say is
we had different in complementary approaches. I focused more on
a constitutional law legislative based approach. You focus more on
a technology approach, which is the future approach. No better
person to lead that technology digital approach than Elon Musk.
But when you're talking about a constitutional revival, it's not
just done through the federal government. It's done through federalism
(21:01):
where states also lead the way. So I'll have to
be saying more on that very shortly, Jesse.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Right, So I want to interrupt and say that we
have a commandment here at your warning show. We don't
tell you how to think. I respect you too much
and your ability to think on your own. I can
tell you what I think. I have always thought the
world of avike Ramaswami. Well, I see Donald Trump as
a disruptor, an outside force that returned America to sense
(21:32):
and sensibilities. You know, you got a border, protect it,
secure it, you have laws enforce them. In the end,
Donald Trump will return us to putting America first and
revealing big government versus big we the people. I really
think there's a place for vivike Ramaswami to return us
(21:57):
to our constitutional intent. Nobody historically and constitutionally constitutionally puts
things into perspective stronger than him. That's a powerful statement
he just made. We have to return to the spirit
(22:21):
of the Declaration of Independence and the roadmap of the Constitution.
And in doing so, that's not just a tech recreated
or a federal government recreation.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
That is a return to state's rights and to an
empowerment of the people in liberty and freedom. Pretty excited
personally about this guy entering the governor's mansion in Ohio
and how he may come back, even older, even wiser,
even more seasoned, with the right resume to maybe lead
(22:57):
a nation after he leads us back with statehood and
state's rights. Well, here's a gotcha moment for the view.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They got Fetterman on wearing one of his better hoodies
at my dad, and they're gonna, of course play the
boogeyman card if Donald Trump. I mean, after all, their
narrative just a month ago was democracy is going to
die if this man's elected. We should all leave the
country run for the high hills. So watch Woope try
(23:26):
to bait Fetterman and not get the answer her narrative
was wanting.
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Is it anything you've been saying or do you anticipate
that there's going to be changes that we should be
prepped for that we were not thinking about.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Honestly, I haven't been surprised by anything now. I mean,
he's been doing essentially what he actually campaigned on that
he announced he is going to pardon the Jay six individuals.
He is gonna absolutely go after the border. So there's
a lot of things that he's already ran on, I mean,
criticized a lot of it, and I don't agree with
everything either, but it's deniable. He actually ran on that
(24:05):
and been really upfront. He's like, I am your reputation
and he's you know, kind of making those moves.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
So that's kind of where we're at.
Speaker 13 (24:13):
Early on, immediately after the election, I was like, hey,
you know, we have a choice. You know, we can
freak out and follow every other thing around, you know,
like a cat, you know, with a laser of right,
you know, after I won.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But I'm not that guy.
Speaker 13 (24:26):
I'm not going to be that Democrat.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
You know.
Speaker 13 (24:27):
For me, there's things I'm going to agree with, I'm
going to disagree with, but I'm in the business of
finding wins for Pennsylvania and for the nation and engaging
the president.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I think I see that as doing my job.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And then he goes on to expand what his meeting
with his wife was like alone with the president, and
he didn't describe a boogeyman, a very nice, sensible, reasonable guy.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
How does the few pivot?
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Now?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I love this, uh, you know, anytime.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's one of the few people I do follow on
X and because I can't watch CNN and long form
and wait for moments with him. But I love what
Scott Jennings does and where he does it on CNN,
and yesterday was another one of those moments.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
Listen, yeah, of course it is. And you know what
happened under Barack Obama. Actually he deported millions upon millions
of people. And I don't have any recollection of the
US economy collapsing, and no Republican and I don't think
most Americans are taking seriously the argument that the US
economy is underpinned by violent, criminal illegal immigrants. I mean,
if our entire economy is underpinned by people who are
(25:42):
rapists and murderers and commit other violent acts, then you
know we got a whole other set of issues going
on in the economy.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Oh wait, wait her chime. We what I'm saying that? No,
you're just implying it. Daily.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George W. Bush all deported millions
more than Donald Trump ever has. And there was never
the narrative our economy will collapse, there's no one to
do well. There was the narrative who will do the jobs?
But and that is what they're implying. We talked about
(26:17):
earlier today, and this just astounds me. The character and
the physical assassination attempts of Donald Trump for over a decade.
He's evil, he's a tyrant, he's an insurrectionist, he's a dictator.
He's going to destroy and kill the soul of American
democracy as we know it. And yet, waking up this morning,
(26:41):
fifty two percent of the American people believe what he
said in the State of the Union that the Golden
Age of America has begun. What a marketing triumph. Now
it speaks to the death of journalism and an audience.
They didn't have, an influence, they didn't have. But think
(27:02):
of all the court attacks, courtroom of public opinion attacks,
and he rises above in one week and he's got
fifty two percent of the American people behind him. Well,
Harry Enton has been telling CNN's anchors and audience that
Donald Trump was going to win, and they didn't.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Listen. He goes over the Trump approval rating numbers.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Listen, Look, the American people really like what they're seeing,
at least compared to where Donald Trump started eight years ago. Right,
all right, this is Donald Trump's net approval rating.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
This is Reuter or Zipsos. It's among adults.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
It was taken the first few days of this administration.
Look here Back in January twenty seventeen, Donald Trump became
the first president history to start his presidency with a
net negative approval rating. Look at where we are now
in January twenty twenty five, considerably better at plus six points.
That's up nine points to borrow a Donald Trump praise.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
This is big league.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
This is a sign that the American people, at least
initially like what they're seeing. And so you see right here,
more Americans approve of Donald Trump's job than disapprove. And
that is very much, very much unlike what we saw
eight years ago.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Never mind what we saw with Joe Biden underwater at
nineteen percent, and that just sounds like everybody or low.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
That was just complete apation.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I'm Michael del journal.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Jeffrey Lyons got the music's and sound and the controls. Jeffrey,
good morning, A red is wearing green watching over the
content and for you all. Well, Donald Trump, President of
the United States, assigned a number of executive orders that
ban any diversity related programs in the military. The Trump
administration is firing more than a dozen officials who worked
(29:00):
on criminal investigations into the now president. A very active
first week continues for the president. House Speaker Mike Johnson
has suggested he's open to California's wildfire recovery aid being
linked to sensible Golden State voter ID laws. And we
lost somebody in the hospital. That brings a death toll
to wildfares in southern California to twenty nine. Tickets for
(29:22):
Super Bowl fifty nine are cheaper than last year, but
still well above average. Eight thousand for a good seat,
fifty seven hundred dollars for one of the cheapest seats.
I will be watching for free on my couch and
more confirmation hearings. I'm trying to figure out the schedule,
but why bother I have the White House Correspondent John
Decker joining me right now. I know we got cash
(29:43):
Pattel on Telsea Gabbard Thursday. I think Pam Bondy tomorrow
with RFK. What's today?
Speaker 15 (29:50):
So Pam Bondy's through, She's already had her confirmation hearing
and she is assured of winning Senate confirmation, maybe even
get some bipartisans.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But Robert F.
Speaker 15 (30:01):
Kennedy Junior, that's President Trump's choice to lead the Department
of Health and Human Services. The other two individuals that
you mentioned, Cash Beattel and Tulsi Gabbert, all of their
confirmation hearings will take place this week and it could
be contentious for some of those nominees. And I think
of the three, I think it's Tulsi Gabbert who likely
(30:24):
has the most difficult time going forward in terms of
winning Senate confirmation.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
What's been the ding on her?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean it's Centri RFK and Tulca Gabbert, both Democrat
Party presidential primary candidates. Now you know they formed this
allegiance with Donald Trump in this year's primary.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
How could that be a problem for either side? Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
But it is, Well, it is.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
You know you mentioned Tulca Gabbert.
Speaker 15 (30:50):
I think that it's the positions that she took while
she was a congresswoman from Hawaii that actually is problematic
more for Republicans than it is for Democrats. Also, the
meeting that she had while she was a congresswoman with
Basha a Lesad of Syria. The things that she said
which really mimic Vladimir Putin talking points. I think all
(31:12):
of those issues will come up during the course of
her confirmation hearings, and her lack of experience, it is
argued in terms of leading essentially an agency in charge
of all of our intelligence services. So that's the ding
on her.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
We'll see if it's enough though to prevent her from
being confirmed as the next D and I director.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
People kind of forget, you know, Telsea Gabbert. You know,
lot of people always the pendsulum always swing, especially with
you know, partisan radio that just basically both sides ticked
to narratives and talking points. She seemed to be someone
who believed consistently all along that America didn't have to
be the world's police, and was as somebody who served
(31:54):
in the armed forces, felt like we were serving in
wars that were serving politicians more the national security. So
that was always kind of a hot button for which
led to the meetings that you're talking about. That'll be problematic.
She has a lieutenant colonel, so it's not completely out
of the realm that her resume doesn't qualify for her
for this, but she's got we see this, you know,
(32:16):
heg Seth was pretty partisan this one. There's things on
both sides which you will make it close, right. That's
what can you keep your eye on. Right when there's
just enough to sway a few negatives on both sides
of the aisle, that's what makes getting to confirmation difficult.
Speaker 15 (32:31):
Yeah, I think that, you know, going in for Tulsi Gabbard,
I don't think she's going to get any Democratic votes.
So then you have to look at the Republican side.
And you saw what happened with now Secretary hegseet He
got through simply because tiber President Vice President JD. Vans
broke a fifty to fifty tigh. That may be what
it takes for both Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
(32:55):
although our FK Junior may actually get a Democratic vote
or two.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
We'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
I think that there are a lot of Republican senators,
in particular Michael, that are waiting to see how these
confirmation hearings go before saying publicly how they will vote
on these respective nominations.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
I'll tell you the one I'm most interested in. His
cash Betel.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You don't hear a lot of narratives surrounding him that
this is going to be particularly tough, But I think
he's the one that's going to get to some of
the heaviest lifting. You know, you would think if if
you're trying to silence this administration, he would be more
of a target than he is.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Well, yeah, I think that.
Speaker 15 (33:38):
I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's been pretty.
Speaker 15 (33:39):
Quiet around cash Tottel, maybe because all the oxygen was
sucked out of the room with Pete Hegseth nomination.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
But now attention will focus on him, and you know, look, sometimes.
Speaker 15 (33:52):
These hearings can get contentious.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
So we'll see what happens when.
Speaker 15 (33:55):
He and how he handles tough questions being posed of him,
in particular by Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee which
will run his confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Last minute with John Decker, a White House correspondent. All right,
so for you know, for Hegsath, we thought that was
going to be the most problematic. I think his performance
and he had a very different style of performance than
Pam Pambondi just gave it right back to them.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He handled it kind of brilliantly. That played a role
in it.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Tolsey Gaberd R FK. These are two that should perform
very well under questioning, right, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I mean, we'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 15 (34:35):
You know, I've seen RFK Junior in particular, get hot
under the collar, and you know that's not helpful, you know,
when you're trying to win support from senators on both
sides of the aisle. Telsey Gabert, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
I mean, we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 15 (34:50):
I've ever seen her really, you know, get the third
degree from any interview, for instance, that she's undergone and
she's really avoided doing interviews leading up to her confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
All right, that's the latest on the confirmation hearings. John Decker,
thanks so much. We'll talk again tomorrow. That'll do it
for today. One chance to live this Tuesday, January twenty eighth.
Don't take it for granted, don't waste it.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Enheld Joano
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard

fifty k e NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety
Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every
day and make us a part of your morning routine.
But better late than never.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast well two three starting your morning off right,
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Because we're in the stigild this is your morning show
with Michael Dell Charn.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We now enter the wings portion of this morning show,
your morning show, Red Bull Time seven minutes after the hour.
Thanks for waking up with us and taking us along
with you on the drive to work. Welcome to Tuesday,
January the twenty eighth, The av Our Lawn.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
President Trump signed a number of executive orders to ban
any diversity related programs in the military. We've also had
eight thousand plus troops that were discharged for refusing the
vaccine reinstated with back pay a quick Columbian fold. Suddenly,
after a threat of a twenty five percent tariff, they're
setting their own planes with their own gas to.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Pick up their own thugs.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafanoho, I think is one of the
finest military and foreign policy minds. I can't, but this
is our first visit of the new year.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
It is and uh and and and defitting our relationship.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I'm in Berlin. You know, how'd I do? Yeah? That's so.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
The funny thing is what you know, Eiedenberliner, which is
what Kennedy said, right right, translated correctly. I remember my
little son when we live in Germany, and you know
there Kennedy stops again. There's a street named after kingo
Villin he said, he said he was avent.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
No, he said, every buddy that believes in freedom is
a Berliner. All right, so let's start with you're a
jelly donut. Uh, let's start with the commander. Actually, wait,
what's that.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
That's actually what the literal translation of I'm Berliner is,
I am a jelly donut.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It didn't mean I'm a berliner, a berliner like he thought.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
No, you know, a berliner is a donut. That's what
they call them. Theer donut.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh, cataphobia one of our most historic moments.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
He didn't say I am from Berlin, or I am
a Berlin person. He said, I am a jelly donut.
That's I'm not making that up.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
That's my little five.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Year old son that he knew he had better German
than than John Kenny.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
What do you saying, Well, of course your kids smarter
than me, and nothing nothing surprising about that. All right,
let's let's start with what a different you know there
there's a big headline the border agents recording shockingly low numbers.
Just suddenly, instead of four thousand crossing every day, only
five hundred and eighty two are trying to cross. That's
just setting the metal. There's a new sheriff, there's a
new president, this is a new wage we had the
(03:13):
Colombian folks. We also have a new commander in chief
and with that comes credibility and the reinstatement of eight
thousand plus troops. What a remarkable first week of this presidency.
How is the world reacting?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Well, First of all, the one thing that all Americans
have to remember is how seckless the Biden administration was.
So the President Biden repeatedly said, oh, I can't deal
with Congress has to give me more power, more money,
I've done everything I can. That was an utter lie.
Literally in days, President Trump is creating a safe re border.
(03:50):
So what you never forget is that Joe Biden lied
to you, He lied to your faith, and he knowingly lie.
The rest of the world is kind of in shock.
They're either in oh my god, am I going to
be next? Or there is like I want to be
Donald Trump's best friend. So that's kind of the two
responses you get, particularly here in Europe.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
All right, so let's start with fact number one. So
appeasement has always emboldened digressors. So if you show weakness,
people who are of the ilk to misbehave misbehave more.
So there is actually proven peace through strength in this
(04:32):
particular case with Donald Trump. I mean, what we see
along the border may translate to other issues. In other words,
when you because I've said all along, He's not gonna
do these tariffs to everyone. He wants to address China
right building cheap electric vehicles right across our border in
Mexico and sending them over just like they send.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Over illegals over the poorestport.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
How does the message to Columbia translate to China, let
alone Russia and Ukraine let alone in the Middle East.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Think you know it has to be interpreted correctly. You know,
there are lots of there are lots of things you
can do with tariffs. You can use them for national
security purposes, like what we're gonna do with the Chinese,
which is to to punish, or you can do it
like you did with Columbia, which is this is not
(05:27):
about generating revenue dealing with markets. This is sending the
Colombians a very clear message that you are compromising our
national security and you have to start and you don't
have to send an eighty second airborne. You don't have to.
You just have to show them you're serious. I'll tell
you a story which is hilarious. I got lectured last night.
(05:47):
I don't want to tell you by who who was
like a and they're saying, how could you treat your
Colombian ally that way that when you have illegal refugees,
you have to negotiate a treaty like we did, and
they take sometimes it's years, and I go, you guys,
just don't get it to you. It's Trumps can operate.
He's not going to wait years and get pulled around
(06:08):
by for a country that's not doing exactly what it's
supposed to do, it's going to make a statement. And honestly,
I think that the Columbia's respected that they changed their
tune in five minutes because they realized they were wrong
and it wasn't worth it to antagonize the United States.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Joining us from Berlin, where it is afternoon this morning
is Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. You know, I've often said
that America's kind of figured out what doesn't work. I
don't know they've connected the dots of what the right
thing to do is. Take the border for example. It's interesting,
you know, like in Colorado we had that immediate arrest
(06:45):
of all these drug lords and gang members and violent
criminals proven, and one week after Donald Trump takes office,
we're in Colorado we're rounding them up. That would suggest
that the previous administration knew right where they were, all
the flies they had committed and did nothing. This is
going to have a different effect on America. As he
(07:06):
does what's right, They're going to see what's wrong even
more clearly, aren't they.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Well, I mean, I think this is this is what
we all expected. We saw what donalds on did for
forty years. We saw what Joe Biden did for four years,
and the American voters just didn't have a choice. They
actually had two records to look at it. It's like,
you know, two football teams. One's got an zero to
ten in a you know game, and the other ones
twelve And oh, I mean, which team is going to
make the Super Bowl? I mean I think it's pretty clear.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So we had this.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
CIA joined the FBI in believing that the origins of
COVID was a wuhan leak. Right, we have Trump reinstading
eight thousand troops. Uh, we have Fauci taking a pardon
you know. Uh are all these stories related? I mean,
this is one of the greatest.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Well, what's really key about this is if folks, this
is uh, you know, John Radcliffe actually cheered for us
of the Hurdish Foundation. A commission that looked at the
origins of COVID, and the independent commission concluded that it
was probably loudly and so John Ratliff goes in to
take over the CIA.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He didn't the.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
CIA to change their findings. He goes down and he
found but the CIA under.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Joe Oops, I think we got in there you cut
out you.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Oh sorry that that the CIA concluded under Joe Biden
that this was probably leaked from a Chinese lab.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So Biden knew this, and.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
He lied to the American people, held this information in
American people. And and this was governance by by by lying,
you know, governance by denying Americans knowledge of what the
governments actually during the results you're having.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So what about the ret.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I was gonna say, what about the Paul Harvey rest
of the story, which is Fauci's involvement and gain of
function research the Milken Institute with scientists who talked about, well,
take us a decade, it would take us billions of
dollars to get this new technology approved to get away
from egg vaccines. And then the other guy chimes up,
(09:25):
but what if we had an Asian virus and it
became an emergency?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And then what about everything that China did immediately to
protect China but jeopardize the rest of the world. And
was the leak even accidental or on purpose? I mean,
Donald Trump is ruling the world, China is suffering terribly,
and after this leak, well, Donald Trump's gone. Two years later,
(09:51):
the economy is shut down, through bad advice. I mean,
are we going to get to the bottom of all
of this truth? Because this is one of the great
hoaxes ever carried out on the American people? And and
I might add one point two million people died, and
I would think, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat,
you want to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Well.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
And in the end, all Joe Biden wanted to do
was hide the reality of all that because he was
afraid if he said the truth that he would have
to hold people accountable, and he would have to hold
China accountable. So rather than people hold people accountable for
the evils that they did, he just chose to ignore it.
(10:30):
It would be like if we had won World War two,
who we are in the eightieth anniversary of Auschwitt, if
we would have gone to and cleaned up the camp
because he couldn't let anybody know what the Holocaust happened.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Just that level of deception and evil. And this is look,
the one thing you can have in a democracy is
lack of transparency and lack of accountability. And what did
Joe Biden want to do? He wanted to control all
content so there was no lack of transparency, and he
wanted every outcome to ensure that no matter what happened,
(11:05):
good or bad, key and anyone connected, it was what
I held accountable for it. It was the absolute opposite
of democracy. And when when they said this is a
work for democracy, they were really really right, except he
was the enemy.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The loss of trust is our is the greatest damage
that was and there's no is there any way to
get that trust back without coming clean and doing it
through the.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Truth, transpancy, and accountability. It's just like nobody should touch
trust Donald Trump. Nobody should trust I'm not to say
I think you shouldn't believe him. You shouldn't believe Donald Trump.
But he says I'm going to secure the border. You
should have you should have accountability, and you have transpancy.
The only reason why people believe Donald Trump is because
they look at the numbers and they see in supporting
(11:53):
people in securing the work. That's how governments supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, we know it was eight thousand plus troops and
I'm so glad they were reinstated, and I'm so glad
with back pay, But what about the millions of Americans
who were forced to take a vax or lost their job.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
What are the ramifications down the line for them? As
the truth is revealed, time will.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Tell you when they say when they say elections have consequences,
I mean you know those numbers. You have to add
into that the war in Ukraine, the people that died
in Israel, the tragedy all over the world that resulted
from the people that die every day because they don't
(12:29):
have electricity because Joe Biden thinks they I need to
have great energy which they can't get. So the misery
that he called is in the tens of millions. But
the people that suffer because of human trafficking as a
result of border his clients earned the tens of millions.
I know what.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Easy to fix us into a schedule that is separated
by a notion in six hours, But thanks so much
for finding time with us. You can read James Carafano's
great work and his colleagues great work at heritage dot org.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Safe your poem from Germany.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
James, all right, twenty minutes after the hour, we'd come back,
got one, not two, not three, but your top five
stories of the day. Next half hour more confirmation hearings
are scheduled this week. I believe Pam Bondi and RFK
is tomorrow, and I think Telsey Gabbard and Cash Pateel
our Thursday. I think I got that straight. We'll check
(13:22):
it out with your top five stories the day next
on your morning show.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
If you went into the new year saying you wanted
to prioritize safety, don't abandon that resolution.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You gotta have a plan. What is your plan if
you put in a situation that demands personal protection? I
got a plan. It's the burna less lethal launcher. Now
I'm a gun owner, but this is a great compliment
to owning a firearm. What if there was a way
to effectively defend yourself, de escalate a situation without the
(13:57):
irreversible consequences of using force, something that you have to
make a decision on on a split second. Oh, but
it'll be scrutinized in court for months and years, not
to mention, you'd have to live with it. And that's
why I find the burner launchers such a great compliment
when you want a less lethal approach. It's legal in
fifty states, no permit needed, no background check needed. I
(14:21):
own one myself. It's great for family members too. The
Burner launcher has powerful deterrence like teargas and kinetic rounds
with a sixty foot range. One shot can incapacitate an
attacker for up to forty minutes. With Burna, you save
two lives.

It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Scott Assent is the next US Treasury Secretary.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
The Ya's are sixty eights, the nay's are twenty nine.
The confirmation is confirmed. The Senate voted on Monday to
approve the X hedge Fund manager. The sixty two year
old percent will oversee the irs and influence the nation's
fiscal policy.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, Columbia, that only had a quick fold and a
change of heart. They're setting their own planes with their
own gas to get their own thugs.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
It comes after the White House and the Colombian government
agreed to President Trump's terms after threatening tariffs.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
According to the White House, Columbia.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Agreed to the terms that include the unrestricted acceptance of
all illegal aliens being returned from the United States. It
added the US will hold off tariffs and sanctions unless
Columbia fails to honor this agreement. Trump threatened retaliatory measures
after Columbia to night entry to a pair of US
military deportation planks.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
All right, So where is the best place to retire
in twenty twenty five? Pretty much the same place it's
been to retire for the last several decades. No big
shockgre Brian Shook as the final tally. That's according to
a new study by wallet Hub. The Sunshine State was
ranked number one for retirement nationwide due to its low
taxes for retirees and the funding it receives for seniors
(16:15):
from the Older Americans Act, which funds transportation and nutrition
programs for older residents. Some of the other best states
to retire include Minnesota, Colorado, and Wyoming, while Kentucky was
named the worst.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Today we celebrate what is considered by some to be
one of the most annoying musical instruments ever made.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Pre Tennis with more on National Kazoo Day.
Speaker 10 (16:39):
The kazoo is considered a musical instrument, although you really
don't need any training to play one. Coffin referred to
as a joke. But many famous musicians have featured the
kazoo on songs than Gringo Starr, the Stones, Clapton, even
Pink Floyd, so it can't be all that bad. They
all come from one place called the Kazoo Factory in
South Carolina. Say they sell five thousand every day, so
(17:02):
there's still a chance you could be a rock star.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I'm Bree Tennis and that's your top five stories of
the day. Hey, this is John Watson.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
My Morning show is your morning show with Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in c Apple. Make us a
part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you
listen live but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
If you're just waking up.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Fifty two percent of likely registered voters say they do
believe we have entered the golden age of America. Think
of everything Donald Trump has been demonized with in nine
ten years. You were told he's the devil himself, he's
a threat to democracy, he's a tyrant, he's a dictator,
he's going to destroy the soul of America. He's going
(18:02):
to destroy democracy. One week into his presidency, the majority
of the American people think we've entered a golden age.
Talk about an overton window. Ama says eight of the
remaining twenty six hostages are dead. Will that number hold?
How will that impact the stability of the peace talks.
(18:27):
Jim Acosta is not headed overnights on CNN. He's being fired.
Is that a CNN olive branch to the Trump administration?
After all, they had no greater antagon antagonist in the
first four years. Peter probably gets our Loser of the
Day award. First of all, does anybody really think the
(18:48):
Groundhog Day is abusive to the groundhog? There's no food
insecurity for the groundhog and being handled and held up
in cheers. It is hardly abused. But the worst part
is you can't replace something unless you got something better
to replace it with. What's Peter's big idea, a vegan
(19:13):
weather revealed cake instead of Groundhog Day. Don't expect that
to catch on anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Sounds of the day hit it. She's gonna get smoked.
He's got to be stopped. I really don't know what
he said at the end of this, and I don't
think he knows what he said either. Not sure I
know what I said. It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
I'm going I'm going in, how do you like my garbage?
I love your garbage truck? All right?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, if you don't know it, Doge, the face of
Doge has been Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. Uh, they're
in all kinds of rumors about disagreements between Vivey and Musk.
Bottom line is, if you didn't know it already, he's
(20:05):
going to be stepping aside because he believes in the Constitution,
he believes in states rights, and he's going to be
the next governor of his home state of Ohio.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He made that clear on Fox yesterday.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Well, the realities. I'm pursuing an elected office very shortly.
We'll have an announcement soon. But Jesse, things are off
to a great start. I think President Trump has proven
look at the actions that you took in that first week,
the most pro merit president I think we've had in
a long time. And as for my vision, grounded in
constitutional law in the future of the country, I think
it's best pursued through elected office, and I'm confident that
they're going to succeed in slashing and burning that federal bureaucracy.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
People are saying you didn't get along with Musk, what
happened there.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
I think that's incorrect. But what I would say is
we had different in complementary approaches. I focused more on
a constitutional law legislative based approach. You focus more on
a technology approach, which is the future approach. No better
person to lead that technology digital approach than Elon Musk.
But when you're talking about a constitutional revival, it's not
just done through the federal government. It's done through federalism
(21:01):
where states also lead the way. So I'll have to
be saying more on that very shortly, Jesse.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Right, So I want to interrupt and say that we
have a commandment here at your warning show. We don't
tell you how to think. I respect you too much
and your ability to think on your own. I can
tell you what I think. I have always thought the
world of avike Ramaswami. Well, I see Donald Trump as
a disruptor, an outside force that returned America to sense
(21:32):
and sensibilities. You know, you got a border, protect it,
secure it, you have laws enforce them. In the end,
Donald Trump will return us to putting America first and
revealing big government versus big we the people. I really
think there's a place for vivike Ramaswami to return us
(21:57):
to our constitutional intent. Nobody historically and constitutionally constitutionally puts
things into perspective stronger than him. That's a powerful statement
he just made. We have to return to the spirit
(22:21):
of the Declaration of Independence and the roadmap of the Constitution.
And in doing so, that's not just a tech recreated
or a federal government recreation.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
That is a return to state's rights and to an
empowerment of the people in liberty and freedom. Pretty excited
personally about this guy entering the governor's mansion in Ohio
and how he may come back, even older, even wiser,
even more seasoned, with the right resume to maybe lead
(22:57):
a nation after he leads us back with statehood and
state's rights. Well, here's a gotcha moment for the view.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They got Fetterman on wearing one of his better hoodies
at my dad, and they're gonna, of course play the
boogeyman card if Donald Trump. I mean, after all, their
narrative just a month ago was democracy is going to
die if this man's elected. We should all leave the
country run for the high hills. So watch Woope try
(23:26):
to bait Fetterman and not get the answer her narrative
was wanting.
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Is it anything you've been saying or do you anticipate
that there's going to be changes that we should be
prepped for that we were not thinking about.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Honestly, I haven't been surprised by anything now. I mean,
he's been doing essentially what he actually campaigned on that
he announced he is going to pardon the Jay six individuals.
He is gonna absolutely go after the border. So there's
a lot of things that he's already ran on, I mean,
criticized a lot of it, and I don't agree with
everything either, but it's deniable. He actually ran on that
(24:05):
and been really upfront. He's like, I am your reputation
and he's you know, kind of making those moves.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
So that's kind of where we're at.
Speaker 13 (24:13):
Early on, immediately after the election, I was like, hey,
you know, we have a choice. You know, we can
freak out and follow every other thing around, you know,
like a cat, you know, with a laser of right,
you know, after I won.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But I'm not that guy.
Speaker 13 (24:26):
I'm not going to be that Democrat.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
You know.
Speaker 13 (24:27):
For me, there's things I'm going to agree with, I'm
going to disagree with, but I'm in the business of
finding wins for Pennsylvania and for the nation and engaging
the president.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I think I see that as doing my job.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And then he goes on to expand what his meeting
with his wife was like alone with the president, and
he didn't describe a boogeyman, a very nice, sensible, reasonable guy.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
How does the few pivot?
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Now?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I love this, uh, you know, anytime.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's one of the few people I do follow on
X and because I can't watch CNN and long form
and wait for moments with him. But I love what
Scott Jennings does and where he does it on CNN,
and yesterday was another one of those moments.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
Listen, yeah, of course it is. And you know what
happened under Barack Obama. Actually he deported millions upon millions
of people. And I don't have any recollection of the
US economy collapsing, and no Republican and I don't think
most Americans are taking seriously the argument that the US
economy is underpinned by violent, criminal illegal immigrants. I mean,
if our entire economy is underpinned by people who are
(25:42):
rapists and murderers and commit other violent acts, then you
know we got a whole other set of issues going
on in the economy.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Oh wait, wait her chime. We what I'm saying that? No,
you're just implying it. Daily.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George W. Bush all deported millions
more than Donald Trump ever has. And there was never
the narrative our economy will collapse, there's no one to
do well. There was the narrative who will do the jobs?
But and that is what they're implying. We talked about
(26:17):
earlier today, and this just astounds me. The character and
the physical assassination attempts of Donald Trump for over a decade.
He's evil, he's a tyrant, he's an insurrectionist, he's a dictator.
He's going to destroy and kill the soul of American
democracy as we know it. And yet, waking up this morning,
(26:41):
fifty two percent of the American people believe what he
said in the State of the Union that the Golden
Age of America has begun. What a marketing triumph. Now
it speaks to the death of journalism and an audience.
They didn't have, an influence, they didn't have. But think
(27:02):
of all the court attacks, courtroom of public opinion attacks,
and he rises above in one week and he's got
fifty two percent of the American people behind him. Well,
Harry Enton has been telling CNN's anchors and audience that
Donald Trump was going to win, and they didn't.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Listen. He goes over the Trump approval rating numbers.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Listen, Look, the American people really like what they're seeing,
at least compared to where Donald Trump started eight years ago. Right,
all right, this is Donald Trump's net approval rating.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
This is Reuter or Zipsos. It's among adults.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
It was taken the first few days of this administration.
Look here Back in January twenty seventeen, Donald Trump became
the first president history to start his presidency with a
net negative approval rating. Look at where we are now
in January twenty twenty five, considerably better at plus six points.
That's up nine points to borrow a Donald Trump praise.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
This is big league.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
This is a sign that the American people, at least
initially like what they're seeing. And so you see right here,
more Americans approve of Donald Trump's job than disapprove. And
that is very much, very much unlike what we saw
eight years ago.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Never mind what we saw with Joe Biden underwater at
nineteen percent, and that just sounds like everybody or low.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
That was just complete apation.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I'm Michael del journal.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Jeffrey Lyons got the music's and sound and the controls. Jeffrey,
good morning, A red is wearing green watching over the
content and for you all. Well, Donald Trump, President of
the United States, assigned a number of executive orders that
ban any diversity related programs in the military. The Trump
administration is firing more than a dozen officials who worked
(29:00):
on criminal investigations into the now president. A very active
first week continues for the president. House Speaker Mike Johnson
has suggested he's open to California's wildfire recovery aid being
linked to sensible Golden State voter ID laws. And we
lost somebody in the hospital. That brings a death toll
to wildfares in southern California to twenty nine. Tickets for
(29:22):
Super Bowl fifty nine are cheaper than last year, but
still well above average. Eight thousand for a good seat,
fifty seven hundred dollars for one of the cheapest seats.
I will be watching for free on my couch and
more confirmation hearings. I'm trying to figure out the schedule,
but why bother I have the White House Correspondent John
Decker joining me right now. I know we got cash
(29:43):
Pattel on Telsea Gabbard Thursday. I think Pam Bondy tomorrow
with RFK. What's today?
Speaker 15 (29:50):
So Pam Bondy's through, She's already had her confirmation hearing
and she is assured of winning Senate confirmation, maybe even
get some bipartisans.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
But Robert F.
Speaker 15 (30:01):
Kennedy Junior, that's President Trump's choice to lead the Department
of Health and Human Services. The other two individuals that
you mentioned, Cash Beattel and Tulsi Gabbert, all of their
confirmation hearings will take place this week and it could
be contentious for some of those nominees. And I think
of the three, I think it's Tulsi Gabbert who likely
(30:24):
has the most difficult time going forward in terms of
winning Senate confirmation.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
What's been the ding on her?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean it's Centri RFK and Tulca Gabbert, both Democrat
Party presidential primary candidates. Now you know they formed this
allegiance with Donald Trump in this year's primary.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
How could that be a problem for either side? Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
But it is, Well, it is.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
You know you mentioned Tulca Gabbert.
Speaker 15 (30:50):
I think that it's the positions that she took while
she was a congresswoman from Hawaii that actually is problematic
more for Republicans than it is for Democrats. Also, the
meeting that she had while she was a congresswoman with
Basha a Lesad of Syria. The things that she said
which really mimic Vladimir Putin talking points. I think all
(31:12):
of those issues will come up during the course of
her confirmation hearings, and her lack of experience, it is
argued in terms of leading essentially an agency in charge
of all of our intelligence services. So that's the ding
on her.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
We'll see if it's enough though to prevent her from
being confirmed as the next D and I director.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
People kind of forget, you know, Telsea Gabbert. You know,
lot of people always the pendsulum always swing, especially with
you know, partisan radio that just basically both sides ticked
to narratives and talking points. She seemed to be someone
who believed consistently all along that America didn't have to
be the world's police, and was as somebody who served
(31:54):
in the armed forces, felt like we were serving in
wars that were serving politicians more the national security. So
that was always kind of a hot button for which
led to the meetings that you're talking about. That'll be problematic.
She has a lieutenant colonel, so it's not completely out
of the realm that her resume doesn't qualify for her
for this, but she's got we see this, you know,
(32:16):
heg Seth was pretty partisan this one. There's things on
both sides which you will make it close, right. That's
what can you keep your eye on. Right when there's
just enough to sway a few negatives on both sides
of the aisle, that's what makes getting to confirmation difficult.
Speaker 15 (32:31):
Yeah, I think that, you know, going in for Tulsi Gabbard,
I don't think she's going to get any Democratic votes.
So then you have to look at the Republican side.
And you saw what happened with now Secretary hegseet He
got through simply because tiber President Vice President JD. Vans
broke a fifty to fifty tigh. That may be what
it takes for both Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
(32:55):
although our FK Junior may actually get a Democratic vote
or two.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
We'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 15 (33:01):
I think that there are a lot of Republican senators,
in particular Michael, that are waiting to see how these
confirmation hearings go before saying publicly how they will vote
on these respective nominations.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
I'll tell you the one I'm most interested in. His
cash Betel.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You don't hear a lot of narratives surrounding him that
this is going to be particularly tough, But I think
he's the one that's going to get to some of
the heaviest lifting. You know, you would think if if
you're trying to silence this administration, he would be more
of a target than he is.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Well, yeah, I think that.
Speaker 15 (33:38):
I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's been pretty.
Speaker 15 (33:39):
Quiet around cash Tottel, maybe because all the oxygen was
sucked out of the room with Pete Hegseth nomination.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
But now attention will focus on him, and you know, look, sometimes.
Speaker 15 (33:52):
These hearings can get contentious.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
So we'll see what happens when.
Speaker 15 (33:55):
He and how he handles tough questions being posed of him,
in particular by Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee which
will run his confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Last minute with John Decker, a White House correspondent. All right,
so for you know, for Hegsath, we thought that was
going to be the most problematic. I think his performance
and he had a very different style of performance than
Pam Pambondi just gave it right back to them.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He handled it kind of brilliantly. That played a role
in it.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Tolsey Gaberd R FK. These are two that should perform
very well under questioning, right, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I mean, we'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 15 (34:35):
You know, I've seen RFK Junior in particular, get hot
under the collar, and you know that's not helpful, you know,
when you're trying to win support from senators on both
sides of the aisle. Telsey Gabert, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
I mean, we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 15 (34:50):
I've ever seen her really, you know, get the third
degree from any interview, for instance, that she's undergone and
she's really avoided doing interviews leading up to her confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
All right, that's the latest on the confirmation hearings. John Decker,
thanks so much. We'll talk again tomorrow. That'll do it
for today. One chance to live this Tuesday, January twenty eighth.
Don't take it for granted, don't waste it.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
