Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael dil Chuno.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
National correspondent Roy O'Neil.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Right now, if you're just waking up, the Israeli government
says Amas needs to release hostages on Saturday or the
ceasefire deal will come to an end and the Donald
Trump all hell breaks loose will kick in as well.
Showdown as three o'clock bike cracked Saturday, right, Rory, Well,
not three o'clock.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's an old expression from elementary school. Ah, all right,
and you know that's the eighteen hundred, so I wouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, nobody wanted to see you at the bike racks.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
That never happened.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Do you imagine, Rory, I'll see you at the bike
racks at three that he shows up all six foot
eight give up.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, we're good.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
As we did hear from Hamas last night that said
they will follow through with the scheduled release of hostages.
They did not say how many to be released tomorrow
or their conditions. So they say they're going to abide
by the terms of the ceasefire, while accusing Israel of
violating some of the terms. But as you said earlier
this week on Monday, Hama said they were going to
delay prisoner releases until further notice, to which Donald Trump

(01:09):
responded that all hell is going to break out.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, they obviously needed a little bit more pressure. Rory,
At what point do we get to what we're dreading,
which is I had a long conversation with James Carafinald,
Lieutenant colonel from the Heritage Foundation, and they got an
estimate from pretty reliable intel sources that the numbers weren't
very good about how many were left alive. And the

(01:32):
translation is we're getting close to the end. I mean,
I don't know that there's that many more. Maybe there's
probably eleven alive left still to come. This will be
three more, but obviously, sooner or later we're going to
find out the fate of most of them.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
I think you're right. I think they might start to
mix it up a bit. I don't know that would
be my recommendation, sort of break the ice on this,
because if you sit there and say that was it,
that's the last of the live ones, that's going to
be very troubling moment.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, that in a difficult moment to discern, right, Like
how do you trust them? Right? They could say that
and it's not and then what do you do with
your little deadlines? But all right, so we're going to
find out Saturday, although it looks as though probably they're
going to release the three that'll keep the ceasefire in place,
that'll keep all health from breaking loose and right.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
This is the phase one that they agreed to.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
On both sides.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
They're supposed to be negotiating about a broader, longer piece deal,
but we're supposed to have these scheduled releases while the
talks are underway to get to phase two.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
We've been having some fun this morning, you know, all
this demonization and obstruction with Elon Musk and obsession with
Elon Musk. What if you woke up this morning and
Elon Musk was at your kitchen table, what would he find?
What would you be afraid he'd find? Or what would
you like him to dig and find? The listeners have
been responding to you, Do you have any thought like,
in other words, where's your misspending in life? Mine show scars?

(02:56):
I guess beer beer. You're well, you're Irish right now.
See that's the most stereotypical, of course, and I'm Italian,
so wow. I grew up watching Johnny Carson. Apparently, i'd McMahon,
I wish you drank. So what is your what is
your what is your what's your what's.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Your brand of choice? Uh No, there's a local brewery
that happens to be around the corner. So that's a
that's a bad combination. I'll never forget.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I went to school with the the CEO's son of
Moosehead Beer, and so we were the envy of Louisiana
State universe. Not that I didn't drink at all, but
every every Thursday you'd hear and this big eighteen wheeler
would show up and all this free beer would get
unloaded from moose mooseid was good beer.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'm sure Mooset is still around, right, Canadian beer? Sure? Yep?
All right, Rory O'Neil, it would be elon, Why Why, Why?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Why?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
So much beer? Rory?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
That would be Rory's gonna be back next half hour later,
next half hour, we're going to talk about the Senate
voting in Robert Kennedy.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.
