Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to
your morning show live, even take us along with you
on the drive to work. We can be heard on
great radio stations like one oh four nine The Patriot
in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety eight point three
and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News Talk five
point fifty, k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're always
grateful you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Enjoy the podcast two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
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 charm.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Hey, Michael, is a from Murphy Burrow that you can do.
It is from the.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Water Boy Ronider that was staying in the crowd.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
Have a great weekend and great Friday show.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It was Rob Schneider's line in the story of Bobby
Bouche the water Boy. But no, it's a Bella Caroli
who was the Romanian gymnast coach for Nadia and others
who came to the US and coached the US women's
gymnastics team and carried off one of our gymnasts after
(01:12):
she got hurt. Something struck, wasn't it carry strugg But
he used to say, you can do it, you can
do it, And then you know, obviously they borrowed that
for the movie. We were talking about slick Willy earlier.
I was under the impression, I don't know why, just
faint memory that Rush Limbaugh coined the phrase slick Willie.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Uh not the case.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It turns out, it's often credited to Paul Greenberg, who
was a newspaper columnist for the Pine Bluff Commercial in Arkansas,
first came up with slick Willy. I remember a guy
that I was friends with, e golfed with in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
and this is way back in the nineties, who took
every dime he had and invested in making these slick
Willy golf balls. And they were marketed slick Willy golf
(01:56):
balls guaranteed a good lie, which I thought was real clever.
Last time I bumped into him, he was very poor
and making an hourly wage somewhere.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
There wasn't much lifespan of those balls. Anyway. To have
a dream, you gotta have it, gotta have a dream.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Bill Clinton's like Willie himself, will appear before the House
Oversight Committee today in the deposition of Jeffrey Epstein's case.
We also have the nuclear talks between the US and Iran,
no major breakthrough. President is being briefed reportedly on potential
military options and I'm sure they're coming. And p mccounty,
this is a sure sign of a case gone cold,
(02:33):
first giving the home back to the Guthries and now
announcing they will not have daily updates in the case
of Nancy Guthrie being missing. And new data shows a
record number of Americans are moving overseas, driven by costs, politics,
and remote work that makes it possible.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And everybody talks a good game.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Roy o'neils here with the trend of the top destinations.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
And you know it's interesting people are relocating for different reasons.
But the big takeaway is that for the first time
since the Great Depression, the US experienced essentially more people
moving out than moving in. Some of this, by the way,
or a lot of it actually, when you look at
the numbers, has to do with the self deportation that
people are doing because of the crackdown on immigration laws.
(03:19):
That's a big part of this as well. But you
can't deny a lot of people. Record numbers are moving
to other countries, renouncing their United States citizenship, either to
get a foreign passport or to avoid paying Uncle Sam
annual taxes, and choosing places based on affordability, lifestyle, even healthcare.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I've had two friends do this. One a long time
ago went to Thailand for affordability reasons, as well as
a few other that might be obvious. Another thing we
hear about a lot Rose O'Donnell others is politics. But
remote work is it really opens this store up? And
we were just joking, but only half joking. I mean,
we could do this show living in Europe and we'd
(04:00):
start at noon instead of three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But I think you brought you hit the nail right
on the head, right. I mean, the self deportation alone
would account for why there are more moving out than
moving in. But what about this trend Israel? What should
we take away from this? And well, I learn from
where they're going.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Sure, Well, just look at Germany for instance, Just one
Germany had more people. More Americans moved to Germany than
we saw Germans moved to America last year.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You know that just isn't something we hadn't seen.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
There are record numbers of people making passport applications, Americans
trying to get their Irish citizenship, the same with the
UK as well.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We're seeing a.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Surge in Americans living in places like Lisbon, Portugal. A
lot of complaints actually of the Americans there saying I
get here and all I hear is English, because of
so many Americans who have all chosen the same place.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
If they view it like we view it, you know,
all these California's moving to nat Well, you know, right,
these Americans moving to our little quaint city. But often
you'll talk to people and they'll say, you know, I
think I'm gonna move, you know. Then you go, oh,
where would you go? And then it gets a little quiet.
Very few know where they would go. And then and personally,
I would consider Scotland and Ireland too, that you brought
(05:17):
up one of them, you'll have a different view of
how we handle immigration. When you try to go there
and you have to prove that you will not be
a burden, prove that you have this many liquid assets,
and you'll see We're not so heartless here in America,
especially when we just leave the door open. But not
as easy as you think too to pull it off.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
No, and now there are companies that are helping people
make the move. Lucks Nomads is for the well to do.
There's a political one. I don't want to say the
name of it, just there's blacks It Global blacks It,
which is for black Americans. And there's she Hit Refresh,
which is actually one of the hottest ones because polling
shows young women in particular are more interested in moving overseas.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Traits are at their lowest level in more than three years.
Even Rory's joined Monica Nelson with some good news on
this Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He'll be back in the third hour with that. Thanks Ry.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Great reporting Friday, with forty seven coming up in the
third hour as well, along with Sounds of the Day.
John Decker is going to join us on the Clinton
deposition today, coming up next half hour. We played this
earlier and it really was appropriate. I mean, this is.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Quite the odd couple that is developing.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The President of the United States meeting once again was
Zoran Mom Donnie at the White House. What's funny about
this is you have Well, the inventor of MAGA, I
guess perceived very conservative, certainly capitalistic, and his new apprenticed
(06:51):
the socialist mayor of our largest city. But you know,
if you really stop, take a deep breath, there's some
really rather brilliant and or strategic going on here. Now
at the surface, you might say, well, the President's from
New York City, he loves New York City, he has
(07:12):
financial interests in New York City. You can let a
socialist come in and do a bunch of crazy things
and ruin the city for four years just to prove
the point that socialism doesn't work. We know that, we
have history geography to show us everywhere in the course
of time, the brilliance of Margaret Thatcher. Socialism fails every
(07:35):
time because eventually you run out of other people's money.
But the President doesn't want to destroy New York to
make that point again. And if he can have an
influence it is a strange I mean, he is the
darling of the takeover far left of the Democrat Party.
(07:58):
And who's he keep going to get advice from, Who's
taken him under his wing, Who's he kicking ideas around with?
The MAGA President there's something very deluding in that. There's
something very obvious too. The President is always keeping his
enemies closer than his friends. That's why the media and
(08:21):
the Democrat Party has always misread his dealings with Putin
or Kim Jong un or anyone else. Because he likes
to keep his enemies closer. It's a very smart business practice,
quite frankly, and he's protecting his assets. But the mayor
(08:42):
of New York City, socialist or on Mam Donnie, presented
President Donald Trump with a mock newspaper front page during
his visit to the White House yesterday to discuss a
massive new housing investment in the city. I get that
far and I think to myself, and could the President be,
I don't know, lining up some investment opportunities after this presidency.
(09:05):
I was thinking, Yeah, Donald Trump is often doing several
things on this is the art of the deal. It's
a tactic designed to appeal to Trump, who is keenly
aware of his media coverage and, aside from being an
avid viewer of cable news, is known to consume large
(09:25):
amounts of coverage of New York publications. The Republican president
and the Democrat Democrat he's a socialist. The MAGA president
and the socialist mayor have maintained a cordial relationship since
their first meeting. Last Paul I'm Donnie's communication director, said
the mayor's team created a mock front page headline for
(09:47):
Trump to look at and demonstrate what kind of reaction
new federal housing investments could bring. The mock New York
Daily News front page says, Trump to City, Let's build
a riff on the famous nineteen seventy five cover Forward
to City drop dead. What do they talk about really
(10:09):
doesn't matter as much as what is the strategy? And
Donald Trump is up to something. And it could be
as simple as you keep your friends close and your
enemies closer. Could be as simple as you know, I
don't need to prove socialism fails and destroy a city
I love. And maybe I can have an influence. Maybe
(10:33):
it's just knowing. If I can get alone with them,
I can see what they're up to the bigger picture.
I mean, this is socialism's greatest victory. Now Bernie would
have achieved it. He would have gotten the nomination in
twenty sixteen, and I know he would have gotten in
(10:53):
twenty twenty and he might have got it again in
twenty twenty four if they didn't play the bait and
switch with Mama La Kamala. But make no mistake about it,
to be the mayor America's mayor, as we would call it,
of the largest city is a huge, huge victory for socialism.
And if they've got bigger plans for other cities or
(11:17):
for the nation as a whole, keeping Mom Donnie close
could be good for Intel as well. Either way, it
is an odd couple that has developed, is it not,
a Maga president and a socialist mayor. Well, Israel is
a real hot topic right now, and with so many
opinions and emotions out there, and I can only imagine
what you're consuming on social media because now not only
(11:39):
does the left have a problem with Israel, the right
and far right seemingly does. So it's hard to know
exactly where to start. I like to start with God's word.
That's the covenant I'm living in. And if God is
the same yesterday, today and forever and never changes, I
(12:02):
will bless those who bless her, and I will curse
those who curse her. Is still in play, not a threat,
It's a clear calling from God and today, Anti Semitism
is rising around the world. It's even rising here in America,
and it's more urgent than ever. At a time where
Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, more violence
than ever, we have the power, We have the opportunity
(12:24):
as Christians to stand and respond with God's love and
say you're not alone. And I want to make this
crystal clear. When Christians choose to bless Israel, we're not
entering a political issue. We're honoring a root of our
faith and we're standing against hatred. I love the way
Michelle Bachman said it last week or the week before
(12:47):
when we were interviewing her. Israel is what's right in
the Middle East surrounded by wrong. Supporting Israel is more
than just a belief, it's a Biblical mandate. And by
partnering with the Internet Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you
can push back against the darkness. You can be the
light of God's people, you can be the blessing, you
(13:07):
can live his word and you can answer the call.
If you want to learn how you can bless Israel
and be blessed in return, go to IFCJ International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews. IFCJ dot org Today, that's IFCJ
dot org.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
This is your morning show with Michael Dale Chrono.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
President Trump is edited the Lone Star State Today. It's
just the latest stop and the affordability Tour. Mark Mayfield
has details.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
The President will be in Corpus Christi, Texas to give
what's being billed as an energy and economy focused speech
right on the heels of his State of the Union address.
Trump's visit comes to before the state's Republican Senate primary
next week. Trump has not endorsed anyone yet, any three
way race between incumbent Senator John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton, and Representative Wesley Hunt.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm Mark Meyfield. Forgive me, but this could get entertaining.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Former President Bill Clinton will testify before the House Oversight
Committee today over his links to the late sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Tammy Triheo reports.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
His testimony comes a day after his wife, former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, spent hours being grilled in a
closed door hearing over her ties to Epstein, which she
denies exist. The hearings are being held near the Clinton's
home in Chappaqua, New York. Both Clinton's have called for
the hearings to be public. Hillary Clinton accused Republicans on
Thursday of trying to keep focus off of President Trump,
(14:26):
whose name appears numerous times in the so called Epstein
files and who was once a friend of the financier.
Former President Clinton's name also appears in the files, and
he's admitted dealings with Epstein, including traveling on his private plane.
I'm Tammy Tricheo.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I did not have peanuts on that plan. What on
earth could the face of Maga himself have in common
with the socialist mayor? Mom Donnie says he had a
very productive meeting with President Trump at the White House.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Again.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
The exact details of the unannounced meeting were kept under wraps.
Reports say it's centered around building affordable housing in the
Big Apple. The Democratic Socialist mayor confirmed that he's looking
forward to building more housing in New York City. The
last time the two met was back in November, shortly
after Mom Johnny was elected mayor, with both having nice
(15:17):
things to say about one another.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I guess we're tired of this old argument of it's
a rock and roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
How on earth did shaw Day get in?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And then there is always those that do get in,
and you're like they weren't in already. A class of
twenty twenty six Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees
is out.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That was nominated include Phil Collins, Billie Idol, Iron Maiden,
The Black Crows and Oasis also nominated. Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey,
Melissa Etheridge, Lauren Hill, New Edition, Pink Sharde, Shakira, Luther
Vandross and the Wu Tang Clan, Joy Division, New Order
and in Excess also nominated. The vote takes place over
the next two months. The selections will be announced in April.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
A Mark Matfield because I know when I hear smooth Up,
I think rock and Roll. The return of daylight savings
time will happen again on Sunday, March the eighth, not
this weekend, but next weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Pre Tennis has details.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
That's when forty eight US states we'll spring ahead one
hour at two am. Doing this, we'll give us an
extra hour of daylight in the evening, but get there,
we'll lose an hour's sleep. But according to a Gallop
News poll, fifty six percent of Americans say it's worth it.
There are now thirty states considering lock the clock legislation
to keep daylight saving time permanent. The Congress has to
(16:48):
approve it, and so far they have not. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
This is growing from Boca with content in My Morning
Show with Joe Morning Show with Michael Dean Zigno.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hi, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety in Dallas, Sport Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, d C.
And five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine or
take us along on the drive to work, but as
we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
There once was Slick Willie the Fiver, whose lies made
reality quiver.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
He'd testify bold, I turned lead into gold and my
nose a Pinocchio river.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's our Edgar Allen Steve from Oklahoma City, always quick
with a joke and the light of your smoke and
a poem. Now and then former President Bill Clinton will
appear in front of the House Oversight Committee today after
his wife Hillary testified yesterday in the deposition of sex
offender Jeffrey Epstein. We also have the Pima County, Arizona
Sheriff's Department this week giving the home back to the
(17:58):
Guthrie family, now announcing no more daily updates in news
conferences in the case. These are all signs of a
dead end, all signs of a case gone cold. And
speaking of cold, multi day winter storm could impact millions
this weekends across the Midwest and the Northeast, and just
what they don't need in the Northeast, more snow, more
(18:20):
bad weather. In the nuke talks between the US and
Iran and Geneva ended without any major breakthrough. Obviously, many
believed this was a last chance for Iran to convincingly
come to the table and avoid a military strike. Now
President Trump is reportedly being briefed on the potential military
options in Iran that could be happening bursting in air
(18:41):
as early as this weekend, and Bill Clinton taking the
stand after Hillary Clinton and the Epstein investigation. I mean,
I don't know about John Decker, our White House correspondent,
but I'm having a little deja vu.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
This could get rather interesting and entertaining.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
The king of it all defends on what the definition
of his is takes the stand today, John, Now this
is gonna be different than Hillary. I can't think is
are there any pictures of Hillary with Jeffrey Epstein? None
but Bill plenty and the logs of the plane. Heck,
(19:20):
that's where all this began. It's gonna be tougher for
Bill today. I would think, oh much tougher.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
You know, when Hillary Clinton was brought before by subpoena
the House Oversight Committee, she made it pretty clear She's
never met Jeffrey Epstein. She's never been to his island,
never been to his home, never been to his office.
I don't know why you even bothered to bring Hillary
Clinton before this committee and to waste the committee's time
or to waste Hillary Clinton's time. Bill Clinton different story entirely.
(19:50):
He certainly met Jeffrey Epstein. He has traveled with Jeffrey Epstein.
His office has said he traveled on his plane numerous
times over the course of two years. No indication that
he'd ever been to Jeffrey Epstein's island. But there will
be many questions and the deposition itself will likely last
(20:11):
far longer than the deposition that took place yesterday with
Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You know this case is going to be well, I'm
checking my own mind as I say this, but this
is going to be one of the most high profile
cases that comes in the AI era. Meaning when you
think of all the pictures. I mean, there was one
the other day of Donald Trump and there's these two
(20:38):
young girls, and then there's Epstein and of course, you know,
somebody points out to everybody and where's the rest of
Epstein's body? I mean from the hips down? It just disappears.
Obviously people are playing with photographs, but we're not going
to know is that really a picture with Bill Clinton
and Epstein? Is that really Hillary Clinton sitting next to
Glainne Maxwell. I mean, it really is going to be
(20:58):
one of those where AI greatly impacts this as it unfolds,
if it ever unfolds.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But you know where I'm headed there, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
You know I think that that's not what Bill Clinton's
going to claim.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh no, I know, I'm just saying out loud.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean, it makes it different because I remember a
story about Bill Clinton and proof of him being on
the island log and I remember reading a story about
Bill Clinton being in his Manhattan home, and now suddenly
all that disappears. And then I start going, well, I
know I remember it. I'm going to kind of have
a photographic memory. But then it's gone or it's altered,
(21:36):
and again I start going, who knows in this world
of AI whatever was real or isn't real.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Well, look, he's going to face some tough questions today,
far far tougher than the questions of Hillary Clinton faced yesterday.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And you know, as it.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
Relates to what we saw with Hillary when she was
through with her deposition or sworn deposition behind closed doors
and a year she came out and met with reporters,
took a few questions.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And then went on her way.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
I don't know whether the former president will do the
same thing, whether he'll come out after his deposition, come
out and take a few questions as well from reporters.
Certainly much will be reported about the answers that he gave.
And then there is an agreement that the deposition transcripts
will be released, and that will happen with Hillary Clinton,
(22:28):
and very quickly it should happen with Bill Clinton as well.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Very quickly.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Their council wants to make certain that nothing has been
edited in terms of their sworn testimony that they gave
to the House Oversight Committee.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, what's interesting about this? And you're an attorney, as
Supreme Court bar attorney, you know it is a deposition
and I'm sure both Hillary could I mean, part of
this could be you know, you started by saying, why
even bother with Hillary? Maybe to make the bigger impact
with Bill. I don't know, or maybe to ask them questions.
It look like it's leading to nowhere, but it could
(23:03):
set up a perjury situation. I mean, I would think
if you're Hillary or Bill, that's what you've got to
be most careful of, right that they may know something
and then you perjure yourself. That's what got Bill the
first time.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
Well, with Hillary again, I don't think that she has
anything to worry about as far as perjury.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, she never met Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
That's, you know, a flat out definitive statement that she made.
With Bill Clinton a different different story entirely because you
do have flight lobs, and the committee is aware of that.
The committee perhaps is in possession of that. So that's
where you do potentially get into that particular issue of
whether or not someone perjured or himself under sworn testimony.
(23:46):
So look, I think for that reason, Bill Clinton, I'm sure,
is well prepared for the deposition that he will deliver today.
There's now talk by the way of another deposition being given,
and that by Howard Lutnik, and James Comer said he's.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Open to that idea.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
I don't know where Howard Lutnick stands on that, but
remember his story has changed in terms of his connection
to Jeffrey Epstein, and perhaps the Committee, in a show
of bipartisanship, will bring him before the committee as well.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I want to pretend I'm a student in your law class,
so I just want to take another crack at this.
Do you think that between whoever's helping Bill prep for this,
and he's pretty good at doing depositions, we've seen that
one of their concerns is we don't know everything they know,
and that should impact how he answers to I mean
(24:39):
that mystery of not knowing what they I mean, only
Bill Clinton knows all of his involvement with Epstein and
everywhere he's been and everything that he's done. What he
doesn't know is what the people asking him questions know.
Is that part of the coaching. It is part of
the coaching.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
And I would imagine when mister Comber comes out and
addresses reporters, you're going to hear him say that Bill Clinton,
the former president, on X amount of occasions during the
course of his deposition, said I.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Don't recall, and I'm sure he doesn't recall.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
You know, let's face it, Bill Clinton is no spring chicken,
and we're talking about things that happen, in some cases
two decades ago. So that will be an answer that.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Bill Clinton will give.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
I don't know how many times they'll give that kind
of answer, but that's the kind of answer that you
should give if you are concerned about the issue that
you're raising right now. Yeah, that is one party having
information and you're not aware of whether that other party
has the information regarding their question.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
In the past, when he was a spring chicken, he
was a slick chicken named Willie who did recall everything
with Monica Lewinsky and pretended he didn't recall. He said
he did not have sexual relations with that woman. They
need to come out and tell America he did so.
But yeah, that reputation now at an age where you
can explain it that way probably isn't going to get
a lot of grace from the American people. Well, we
(26:01):
see what happens now again that the actual deposition is
today when you say quick, early next week we'll start
seeing the written versus position.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It could be next week we'll have to see.
Speaker 10 (26:13):
I unfortunately, Michael, have to go God move on to
my next station. But it's always great to be on
your show. And we'll have more on this of course
next week.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Have a great weekend, Michael, and I'm sure you'll have
more in the White House Briefing Room his daily podcast,
which I will indeed absolutely thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
All right, go inform the next one.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I want to talk about why we're seeing so many
people talking about these weight loss injections, and I want
to concede to you because the results are so dramatic,
even looking at Hillary Oprah. I mean, there's a lot
of people you're seeing, a lot of stars are microdosing
and they're looking dramatically different. And how they work is
(26:52):
not a secret. It started with diabetics because it lowers
blood sugar, it reduces appetite. You lose a lot of
muscle in this weight as well as fat. But what
if you're looking to lose weight, but you're not interested
in the painful weekly injections or any of these intense
side effects or unknowns I might add with no years
(27:13):
of trial. Well, that's why the doctor's created weight loss
supplement Lean, and the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients
and Lean have been showed to lower blood sugar burn
fat by converting it into energy, which feels great, and
it curbs your appetite and cravings, so you eat less
and you're not hungry. Guess what, you lose weight, But listen.
(27:35):
Lean is not for the casual diet just trying to
lose a pound or two. The doctors at brick House
Nutrition created Lean for the frustrated diet with ten or
more pounds to lose, and I'd love to get you

It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
You can always communicate using the talkback button on your
iHeartRadio app, and of course email Michael D at iHeartMedia
dot com. Phyllis writes, Michael, Hillary never met Epstein, reel
or AI looks real to me.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Well, that's my point. We just don't know, right.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
This is the first high profile thing where AI can
greatly impact, if nothing else, give you plausible deniability, Oh
I never met him. Oh I was at that party,
but I'm not in any of the pictures. And of
course the real purpose might be just to establish justice. Hillary,
who once got on national TV said it's a vast
(28:51):
right wing conspiracy when she knew her husband had an
appropriate relationship with Monakolonski, The president who said I did
not have sexual relations with that woman then testified Perjurd
himself got impeached and then had to tell the American
people I did, in fact I have. I mean, they
could just be establishing Hillary may have never gone to
(29:13):
the island. Hillary may have never got on the plane.
Hillary have never been with Epstein or any of his
friends of age or underage, but she might have known
Bill was. They could be establishing that Blake writes, Michael,
Hillary really tried to get ahead of what will be
exposed in her deposition. Her after interview was substantially weak.
(29:38):
Bring on the is is man, and that kind of
just in general, speaks to the trustworthiness of both of
them and how that will impact the testimony. Some people
of their age would say, I really don't recall something
a decade or two decades ago. But these people have
(30:02):
a reputation of saying I don't recall when they did recall,
or saying I did not when they did.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
And that's alive and well.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So there is the deposition itself, and then there's the
courtroom of public opinion. Long story short, It'slick Willie is
headed to testify. Hoss. Overside Committee Chairman James Comer says
lawmaker's heard a very productive deposition from Hillary Clinton regarding
her family's relationship to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Mark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Speaking up to the deposition, concluded in Chepaqua, New York, Thursday,
Comer sent video of the proceedings would be released soon.
There were a lot of questions that we asked that
we weren't satisfied with the answers that we got, but
we will continue to move forward.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Comerce sent after many questions.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The former Secretary of State deferred to her husband, Bill,
who is going to be deposed on Friday. In her
publicly released opening statement, Hillary Clinton maintained she didn't have
any knowledge of Epstein and his accomplice, named Maxwell's criminal activity.
The deposition was halted briefly after a conservative influencer leaked
a photo from inside the room that he says was
given to him by Colorado Republican Lauren Bobert in violation
(31:09):
of committee rules.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Another multi day Just what everybody in the Northeast doesn't need, right,
another multi day winter storm, and it could impact millions
of Americans this weekend from the Midwest to the northeast.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Low end projections expect one to three inches of snow,
but some forecasts are leaving open the possibility of six
to eight inches of snow from the Ohio Valley to
portions of the East coast along Eye ninety five. You know,
all the desert southwest will be dealing with its own
weather woes. The record for hottest February temperature in Phoenix
is in danger of falling this weekend. The National Weather
Service forecast shows projected highs of ninety three degrees at
(31:43):
Sky Harbor International Airport today and ninety four degrees tomorrow.
That would be enough to beat the hottest temperature ever
recorded in February in the Valley of the Sun. That
was ninety two degrees. And it's happened twice in nineteen
twenty one and nineteen eighty six. I'm Tammy TRIHILLO.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Step aside Jack Klagman and two Randall. We got a
new odd couple. New York City Mayor zoron Mam Donnie,
Socialist says he had a productive meeting with the MAGA
President Donald Trump at the White House.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
The exact details of the unannounced meeting were kept under reps,
but reports say it's centered around building affordable housing in
the Big Apple. The Democratic Socialist mayor confirmed that he's
looking forward to building more housing in New York City.
The last time the two met was back in November,
shortly after Mom Johnnie was elected mayor, with both having
(32:31):
nice things to say about one another.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The International Space Station may get a new lease on life.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Roy O'Neil has the details.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
The space station is over twenty five years old and
plans around the books to destroy it after twenty thirty,
but Congress will consider legislation to add two more years
to its life. Next week, a Senate committee will consider
a bill that includes the ISS Extension to give space
companies more time to develop a replacement. The bill also
directs NASA to build a base on the Moon as
(33:02):
part of its Artemis Lunar program.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I'm Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Netflix is dropping it's bid to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
The streaming giant is declining to submit a higher offer
for WBD after the studio's board described the latest offer
from Paramount's guidance as superior. It comes after Paramount submitted
an offer of roughly one hundred and ten billion dollars
to acquire WBD. Netflix was given four days to submit
a counter offer.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
But now says it will not.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
A potential Paramount WBD merger will still need US and
European regulatory approval for completion.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I'm Jim Roup.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I can just see us sitting on your shag rug
with your lava lamp behind you, opening up your new
Heart album Dreamboat Annie, that's fifty years ago.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
There will only be three thousand coffee of the new
edition available. The record features heads like Crazy On You
and Magic Man. The exclusive Vinyl Foul edition of Dreambone
NNI is available to pre order on the you Discover
Music website.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
It ships on March third on Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Well, if you'd like to go to the White House
for the Big Easter Egg Hunt and Roll, the lottery
to get tickets opens today.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
President Rutherford B. Hayes began the tradition in eighteen seventy
eight after Congress passed a law forbidding the rolling of
Easter eggs on the Capitol grounds. The lottery opens at
noon Eastern, with more details available at Recreation dot gov.
It closes March fourth, with the results being released on
March tenth. This year's Easter egg roll will be held
on April sixth. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Nheld Joano
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to
your morning show live, even take us along with you
on the drive to work. We can be heard on
great radio stations like one oh four nine The Patriot
in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety eight point three
and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News Talk five
point fifty, k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're always
grateful you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Enjoy the podcast two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
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 charm.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Hey, Michael, is a from Murphy Burrow that you can do.
It is from the.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Water Boy Ronider that was staying in the crowd.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
Have a great weekend and great Friday show.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It was Rob Schneider's line in the story of Bobby
Bouche the water Boy. But no, it's a Bella Caroli
who was the Romanian gymnast coach for Nadia and others
who came to the US and coached the US women's
gymnastics team and carried off one of our gymnasts after
(01:12):
she got hurt. Something struck, wasn't it carry strugg But
he used to say, you can do it, you can
do it, And then you know, obviously they borrowed that
for the movie. We were talking about slick Willy earlier.
I was under the impression, I don't know why, just
faint memory that Rush Limbaugh coined the phrase slick Willie.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Uh not the case.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It turns out, it's often credited to Paul Greenberg, who
was a newspaper columnist for the Pine Bluff Commercial in Arkansas,
first came up with slick Willy. I remember a guy
that I was friends with, e golfed with in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
and this is way back in the nineties, who took
every dime he had and invested in making these slick
Willy golf balls. And they were marketed slick Willy golf
(01:56):
balls guaranteed a good lie, which I thought was real clever.
Last time I bumped into him, he was very poor
and making an hourly wage somewhere.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
There wasn't much lifespan of those balls. Anyway. To have
a dream, you gotta have it, gotta have a dream.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Bill Clinton's like Willie himself, will appear before the House
Oversight Committee today in the deposition of Jeffrey Epstein's case.
We also have the nuclear talks between the US and Iran,
no major breakthrough. President is being briefed reportedly on potential
military options and I'm sure they're coming. And p mccounty,
this is a sure sign of a case gone cold,
(02:33):
first giving the home back to the Guthries and now
announcing they will not have daily updates in the case
of Nancy Guthrie being missing. And new data shows a
record number of Americans are moving overseas, driven by costs, politics,
and remote work that makes it possible.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And everybody talks a good game.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Roy o'neils here with the trend of the top destinations.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
And you know it's interesting people are relocating for different reasons.
But the big takeaway is that for the first time
since the Great Depression, the US experienced essentially more people
moving out than moving in. Some of this, by the way,
or a lot of it actually, when you look at
the numbers, has to do with the self deportation that
people are doing because of the crackdown on immigration laws.
(03:19):
That's a big part of this as well. But you
can't deny a lot of people. Record numbers are moving
to other countries, renouncing their United States citizenship, either to
get a foreign passport or to avoid paying Uncle Sam
annual taxes, and choosing places based on affordability, lifestyle, even healthcare.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I've had two friends do this. One a long time
ago went to Thailand for affordability reasons, as well as
a few other that might be obvious. Another thing we
hear about a lot Rose O'Donnell others is politics. But
remote work is it really opens this store up? And
we were just joking, but only half joking. I mean,
we could do this show living in Europe and we'd
(04:00):
start at noon instead of three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But I think you brought you hit the nail right
on the head, right. I mean, the self deportation alone
would account for why there are more moving out than
moving in. But what about this trend Israel? What should
we take away from this? And well, I learn from
where they're going.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Sure, Well, just look at Germany for instance, Just one
Germany had more people. More Americans moved to Germany than
we saw Germans moved to America last year.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You know that just isn't something we hadn't seen.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
There are record numbers of people making passport applications, Americans
trying to get their Irish citizenship, the same with the
UK as well.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We're seeing a.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Surge in Americans living in places like Lisbon, Portugal. A
lot of complaints actually of the Americans there saying I
get here and all I hear is English, because of
so many Americans who have all chosen the same place.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
If they view it like we view it, you know,
all these California's moving to nat Well, you know, right,
these Americans moving to our little quaint city. But often
you'll talk to people and they'll say, you know, I
think I'm gonna move, you know. Then you go, oh,
where would you go? And then it gets a little quiet.
Very few know where they would go. And then and personally,
I would consider Scotland and Ireland too, that you brought
(05:17):
up one of them, you'll have a different view of
how we handle immigration. When you try to go there
and you have to prove that you will not be
a burden, prove that you have this many liquid assets,
and you'll see We're not so heartless here in America,
especially when we just leave the door open. But not
as easy as you think too to pull it off.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
No, and now there are companies that are helping people
make the move. Lucks Nomads is for the well to do.
There's a political one. I don't want to say the
name of it, just there's blacks It Global blacks It,
which is for black Americans. And there's she Hit Refresh,
which is actually one of the hottest ones because polling
shows young women in particular are more interested in moving overseas.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Traits are at their lowest level in more than three years.
Even Rory's joined Monica Nelson with some good news on
this Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He'll be back in the third hour with that. Thanks Ry.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Great reporting Friday, with forty seven coming up in the
third hour as well, along with Sounds of the Day.
John Decker is going to join us on the Clinton
deposition today, coming up next half hour. We played this
earlier and it really was appropriate. I mean, this is.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Quite the odd couple that is developing.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The President of the United States meeting once again was
Zoran Mom Donnie at the White House. What's funny about
this is you have Well, the inventor of MAGA, I
guess perceived very conservative, certainly capitalistic, and his new apprenticed
(06:51):
the socialist mayor of our largest city. But you know,
if you really stop, take a deep breath, there's some
really rather brilliant and or strategic going on here. Now
at the surface, you might say, well, the President's from
New York City, he loves New York City, he has
(07:12):
financial interests in New York City. You can let a
socialist come in and do a bunch of crazy things
and ruin the city for four years just to prove
the point that socialism doesn't work. We know that, we
have history geography to show us everywhere in the course
of time, the brilliance of Margaret Thatcher. Socialism fails every
(07:35):
time because eventually you run out of other people's money.
But the President doesn't want to destroy New York to
make that point again. And if he can have an
influence it is a strange I mean, he is the
darling of the takeover far left of the Democrat Party.
(07:58):
And who's he keep going to get advice from, Who's
taken him under his wing, Who's he kicking ideas around with?
The MAGA President there's something very deluding in that. There's
something very obvious too. The President is always keeping his
enemies closer than his friends. That's why the media and
(08:21):
the Democrat Party has always misread his dealings with Putin
or Kim Jong un or anyone else. Because he likes
to keep his enemies closer. It's a very smart business practice,
quite frankly, and he's protecting his assets. But the mayor
(08:42):
of New York City, socialist or on Mam Donnie, presented
President Donald Trump with a mock newspaper front page during
his visit to the White House yesterday to discuss a
massive new housing investment in the city. I get that
far and I think to myself, and could the President be,
I don't know, lining up some investment opportunities after this presidency.
(09:05):
I was thinking, Yeah, Donald Trump is often doing several
things on this is the art of the deal. It's
a tactic designed to appeal to Trump, who is keenly
aware of his media coverage and, aside from being an
avid viewer of cable news, is known to consume large
(09:25):
amounts of coverage of New York publications. The Republican president
and the Democrat Democrat he's a socialist. The MAGA president
and the socialist mayor have maintained a cordial relationship since
their first meeting. Last Paul I'm Donnie's communication director, said
the mayor's team created a mock front page headline for
(09:47):
Trump to look at and demonstrate what kind of reaction
new federal housing investments could bring. The mock New York
Daily News front page says, Trump to City, Let's build
a riff on the famous nineteen seventy five cover Forward
to City drop dead. What do they talk about really
(10:09):
doesn't matter as much as what is the strategy? And
Donald Trump is up to something. And it could be
as simple as you keep your friends close and your
enemies closer. Could be as simple as you know, I
don't need to prove socialism fails and destroy a city
I love. And maybe I can have an influence. Maybe
(10:33):
it's just knowing. If I can get alone with them,
I can see what they're up to the bigger picture.
I mean, this is socialism's greatest victory. Now Bernie would
have achieved it. He would have gotten the nomination in
twenty sixteen, and I know he would have gotten in
(10:53):
twenty twenty and he might have got it again in
twenty twenty four if they didn't play the bait and
switch with Mama La Kamala. But make no mistake about it,
to be the mayor America's mayor, as we would call it,
of the largest city is a huge, huge victory for socialism.
And if they've got bigger plans for other cities or
(11:17):
for the nation as a whole, keeping Mom Donnie close
could be good for Intel as well. Either way, it
is an odd couple that has developed, is it not,
a Maga president and a socialist mayor. Well, Israel is
a real hot topic right now, and with so many
opinions and emotions out there, and I can only imagine
what you're consuming on social media because now not only
(11:39):
does the left have a problem with Israel, the right
and far right seemingly does. So it's hard to know
exactly where to start. I like to start with God's word.
That's the covenant I'm living in. And if God is
the same yesterday, today and forever and never changes, I
(12:02):
will bless those who bless her, and I will curse
those who curse her. Is still in play, not a threat,
It's a clear calling from God and today, Anti Semitism
is rising around the world. It's even rising here in America,
and it's more urgent than ever. At a time where
Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, more violence
than ever, we have the power, We have the opportunity
(12:24):
as Christians to stand and respond with God's love and
say you're not alone. And I want to make this
crystal clear. When Christians choose to bless Israel, we're not
entering a political issue. We're honoring a root of our
faith and we're standing against hatred. I love the way
Michelle Bachman said it last week or the week before
(12:47):
when we were interviewing her. Israel is what's right in
the Middle East surrounded by wrong. Supporting Israel is more
than just a belief, it's a Biblical mandate. And by
partnering with the Internet Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you
can push back against the darkness. You can be the
light of God's people, you can be the blessing, you
(13:07):
can live his word and you can answer the call.
If you want to learn how you can bless Israel
and be blessed in return, go to IFCJ International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews. IFCJ dot org Today, that's IFCJ
dot org.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
This is your morning show with Michael Dale Chrono.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
President Trump is edited the Lone Star State Today. It's
just the latest stop and the affordability Tour. Mark Mayfield
has details.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
The President will be in Corpus Christi, Texas to give
what's being billed as an energy and economy focused speech
right on the heels of his State of the Union address.
Trump's visit comes to before the state's Republican Senate primary
next week. Trump has not endorsed anyone yet, any three
way race between incumbent Senator John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton, and Representative Wesley Hunt.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm Mark Meyfield. Forgive me, but this could get entertaining.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Former President Bill Clinton will testify before the House Oversight
Committee today over his links to the late sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Tammy Triheo reports.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
His testimony comes a day after his wife, former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, spent hours being grilled in a
closed door hearing over her ties to Epstein, which she
denies exist. The hearings are being held near the Clinton's
home in Chappaqua, New York. Both Clinton's have called for
the hearings to be public. Hillary Clinton accused Republicans on
Thursday of trying to keep focus off of President Trump,
(14:26):
whose name appears numerous times in the so called Epstein
files and who was once a friend of the financier.
Former President Clinton's name also appears in the files, and
he's admitted dealings with Epstein, including traveling on his private plane.
I'm Tammy Tricheo.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I did not have peanuts on that plan. What on
earth could the face of Maga himself have in common
with the socialist mayor? Mom Donnie says he had a
very productive meeting with President Trump at the White House.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Again.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
The exact details of the unannounced meeting were kept under wraps.
Reports say it's centered around building affordable housing in the
Big Apple. The Democratic Socialist mayor confirmed that he's looking
forward to building more housing in New York City. The
last time the two met was back in November, shortly
after Mom Johnny was elected mayor, with both having nice
(15:17):
things to say about one another.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I guess we're tired of this old argument of it's
a rock and roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
How on earth did shaw Day get in?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And then there is always those that do get in,
and you're like they weren't in already. A class of
twenty twenty six Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees
is out.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That was nominated include Phil Collins, Billie Idol, Iron Maiden,
The Black Crows and Oasis also nominated. Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey,
Melissa Etheridge, Lauren Hill, New Edition, Pink Sharde, Shakira, Luther
Vandross and the Wu Tang Clan, Joy Division, New Order
and in Excess also nominated. The vote takes place over
the next two months. The selections will be announced in April.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
A Mark Matfield because I know when I hear smooth Up,
I think rock and Roll. The return of daylight savings
time will happen again on Sunday, March the eighth, not
this weekend, but next weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Pre Tennis has details.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
That's when forty eight US states we'll spring ahead one
hour at two am. Doing this, we'll give us an
extra hour of daylight in the evening, but get there,
we'll lose an hour's sleep. But according to a Gallop
News poll, fifty six percent of Americans say it's worth it.
There are now thirty states considering lock the clock legislation
to keep daylight saving time permanent. The Congress has to
(16:48):
approve it, and so far they have not. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
This is growing from Boca with content in My Morning
Show with Joe Morning Show with Michael Dean Zigno.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hi, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety in Dallas, Sport Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, d C.
And five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine or
take us along on the drive to work, but as
we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
There once was Slick Willie the Fiver, whose lies made
reality quiver.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
He'd testify bold, I turned lead into gold and my
nose a Pinocchio river.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's our Edgar Allen Steve from Oklahoma City, always quick
with a joke and the light of your smoke and
a poem. Now and then former President Bill Clinton will
appear in front of the House Oversight Committee today after
his wife Hillary testified yesterday in the deposition of sex
offender Jeffrey Epstein. We also have the Pima County, Arizona
Sheriff's Department this week giving the home back to the
(17:58):
Guthrie family, now announcing no more daily updates in news
conferences in the case. These are all signs of a
dead end, all signs of a case gone cold. And
speaking of cold, multi day winter storm could impact millions
this weekends across the Midwest and the Northeast, and just
what they don't need in the Northeast, more snow, more
(18:20):
bad weather. In the nuke talks between the US and
Iran and Geneva ended without any major breakthrough. Obviously, many
believed this was a last chance for Iran to convincingly
come to the table and avoid a military strike. Now
President Trump is reportedly being briefed on the potential military
options in Iran that could be happening bursting in air
(18:41):
as early as this weekend, and Bill Clinton taking the
stand after Hillary Clinton and the Epstein investigation. I mean,
I don't know about John Decker, our White House correspondent,
but I'm having a little deja vu.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
This could get rather interesting and entertaining.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
The king of it all defends on what the definition
of his is takes the stand today, John, Now this
is gonna be different than Hillary. I can't think is
are there any pictures of Hillary with Jeffrey Epstein? None
but Bill plenty and the logs of the plane. Heck,
(19:20):
that's where all this began. It's gonna be tougher for
Bill today. I would think, oh much tougher.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
You know, when Hillary Clinton was brought before by subpoena
the House Oversight Committee, she made it pretty clear She's
never met Jeffrey Epstein. She's never been to his island,
never been to his home, never been to his office.
I don't know why you even bothered to bring Hillary
Clinton before this committee and to waste the committee's time
or to waste Hillary Clinton's time. Bill Clinton different story entirely.
(19:50):
He certainly met Jeffrey Epstein. He has traveled with Jeffrey Epstein.
His office has said he traveled on his plane numerous
times over the course of two years. No indication that
he'd ever been to Jeffrey Epstein's island. But there will
be many questions and the deposition itself will likely last
(20:11):
far longer than the deposition that took place yesterday with
Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You know this case is going to be well, I'm
checking my own mind as I say this, but this
is going to be one of the most high profile
cases that comes in the AI era. Meaning when you
think of all the pictures. I mean, there was one
the other day of Donald Trump and there's these two
(20:38):
young girls, and then there's Epstein and of course, you know,
somebody points out to everybody and where's the rest of
Epstein's body? I mean from the hips down? It just disappears.
Obviously people are playing with photographs, but we're not going
to know is that really a picture with Bill Clinton
and Epstein? Is that really Hillary Clinton sitting next to
Glainne Maxwell. I mean, it really is going to be
(20:58):
one of those where AI greatly impacts this as it unfolds,
if it ever unfolds.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But you know where I'm headed there, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
You know I think that that's not what Bill Clinton's
going to claim.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh no, I know, I'm just saying out loud.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean, it makes it different because I remember a
story about Bill Clinton and proof of him being on
the island log and I remember reading a story about
Bill Clinton being in his Manhattan home, and now suddenly
all that disappears. And then I start going, well, I
know I remember it. I'm going to kind of have
a photographic memory. But then it's gone or it's altered,
(21:36):
and again I start going, who knows in this world
of AI whatever was real or isn't real.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Well, look, he's going to face some tough questions today,
far far tougher than the questions of Hillary Clinton faced yesterday.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And you know, as it.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
Relates to what we saw with Hillary when she was
through with her deposition or sworn deposition behind closed doors
and a year she came out and met with reporters,
took a few questions.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And then went on her way.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
I don't know whether the former president will do the
same thing, whether he'll come out after his deposition, come
out and take a few questions as well from reporters.
Certainly much will be reported about the answers that he gave.
And then there is an agreement that the deposition transcripts
will be released, and that will happen with Hillary Clinton,
(22:28):
and very quickly it should happen with Bill Clinton as well.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Very quickly.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Their council wants to make certain that nothing has been
edited in terms of their sworn testimony that they gave
to the House Oversight Committee.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, what's interesting about this? And you're an attorney, as
Supreme Court bar attorney, you know it is a deposition
and I'm sure both Hillary could I mean, part of
this could be you know, you started by saying, why
even bother with Hillary? Maybe to make the bigger impact
with Bill. I don't know, or maybe to ask them questions.
It look like it's leading to nowhere, but it could
(23:03):
set up a perjury situation. I mean, I would think
if you're Hillary or Bill, that's what you've got to
be most careful of, right that they may know something
and then you perjure yourself. That's what got Bill the
first time.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
Well, with Hillary again, I don't think that she has
anything to worry about as far as perjury.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, she never met Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
That's, you know, a flat out definitive statement that she made.
With Bill Clinton a different different story entirely because you
do have flight lobs, and the committee is aware of that.
The committee perhaps is in possession of that. So that's
where you do potentially get into that particular issue of
whether or not someone perjured or himself under sworn testimony.
(23:46):
So look, I think for that reason, Bill Clinton, I'm sure,
is well prepared for the deposition that he will deliver today.
There's now talk by the way of another deposition being given,
and that by Howard Lutnik, and James Comer said he's.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Open to that idea.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
I don't know where Howard Lutnick stands on that, but
remember his story has changed in terms of his connection
to Jeffrey Epstein, and perhaps the Committee, in a show
of bipartisanship, will bring him before the committee as well.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I want to pretend I'm a student in your law class,
so I just want to take another crack at this.
Do you think that between whoever's helping Bill prep for this,
and he's pretty good at doing depositions, we've seen that
one of their concerns is we don't know everything they know,
and that should impact how he answers to I mean
(24:39):
that mystery of not knowing what they I mean, only
Bill Clinton knows all of his involvement with Epstein and
everywhere he's been and everything that he's done. What he
doesn't know is what the people asking him questions know.
Is that part of the coaching. It is part of
the coaching.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
And I would imagine when mister Comber comes out and
addresses reporters, you're going to hear him say that Bill Clinton,
the former president, on X amount of occasions during the
course of his deposition, said I.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Don't recall, and I'm sure he doesn't recall.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
You know, let's face it, Bill Clinton is no spring chicken,
and we're talking about things that happen, in some cases
two decades ago. So that will be an answer that.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Bill Clinton will give.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
I don't know how many times they'll give that kind
of answer, but that's the kind of answer that you
should give if you are concerned about the issue that
you're raising right now. Yeah, that is one party having
information and you're not aware of whether that other party
has the information regarding their question.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
In the past, when he was a spring chicken, he
was a slick chicken named Willie who did recall everything
with Monica Lewinsky and pretended he didn't recall. He said
he did not have sexual relations with that woman. They
need to come out and tell America he did so.
But yeah, that reputation now at an age where you
can explain it that way probably isn't going to get
a lot of grace from the American people. Well, we
(26:01):
see what happens now again that the actual deposition is
today when you say quick, early next week we'll start
seeing the written versus position.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It could be next week we'll have to see.
Speaker 10 (26:13):
I unfortunately, Michael, have to go God move on to
my next station. But it's always great to be on
your show. And we'll have more on this of course
next week.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Have a great weekend, Michael, and I'm sure you'll have
more in the White House Briefing Room his daily podcast,
which I will indeed absolutely thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
All right, go inform the next one.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I want to talk about why we're seeing so many
people talking about these weight loss injections, and I want
to concede to you because the results are so dramatic,
even looking at Hillary Oprah. I mean, there's a lot
of people you're seeing, a lot of stars are microdosing
and they're looking dramatically different. And how they work is
(26:52):
not a secret. It started with diabetics because it lowers
blood sugar, it reduces appetite. You lose a lot of
muscle in this weight as well as fat. But what
if you're looking to lose weight, but you're not interested
in the painful weekly injections or any of these intense
side effects or unknowns I might add with no years
(27:13):
of trial. Well, that's why the doctor's created weight loss
supplement Lean, and the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients
and Lean have been showed to lower blood sugar burn
fat by converting it into energy, which feels great, and
it curbs your appetite and cravings, so you eat less
and you're not hungry. Guess what, you lose weight, But listen.
(27:35):
Lean is not for the casual diet just trying to
lose a pound or two. The doctors at brick House
Nutrition created Lean for the frustrated diet with ten or
more pounds to lose, and I'd love to get you

or AI looks real to me.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Well, that's my point. We just don't know, right.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
This is the first high profile thing where AI can
greatly impact, if nothing else, give you plausible deniability, Oh
I never met him. Oh I was at that party,
but I'm not in any of the pictures. And of
course the real purpose might be just to establish justice. Hillary,
who once got on national TV said it's a vast
(28:51):
right wing conspiracy when she knew her husband had an
appropriate relationship with Monakolonski, The president who said I did
not have sexual relations with that woman then testified Perjurd
himself got impeached and then had to tell the American
people I did, in fact I have. I mean, they
could just be establishing Hillary may have never gone to
(29:13):
the island. Hillary may have never got on the plane.
Hillary have never been with Epstein or any of his
friends of age or underage, but she might have known
Bill was. They could be establishing that Blake writes, Michael,
Hillary really tried to get ahead of what will be
exposed in her deposition. Her after interview was substantially weak.
(29:38):
Bring on the is is man, and that kind of
just in general, speaks to the trustworthiness of both of
them and how that will impact the testimony. Some people
of their age would say, I really don't recall something
a decade or two decades ago. But these people have
(30:02):
a reputation of saying I don't recall when they did recall,
or saying I did not when they did.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
And that's alive and well.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So there is the deposition itself, and then there's the
courtroom of public opinion. Long story short, It'slick Willie is
headed to testify. Hoss. Overside Committee Chairman James Comer says
lawmaker's heard a very productive deposition from Hillary Clinton regarding
her family's relationship to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Mark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Speaking up to the deposition, concluded in Chepaqua, New York, Thursday,
Comer sent video of the proceedings would be released soon.
There were a lot of questions that we asked that
we weren't satisfied with the answers that we got, but
we will continue to move forward.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Comerce sent after many questions.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The former Secretary of State deferred to her husband, Bill,
who is going to be deposed on Friday. In her
publicly released opening statement, Hillary Clinton maintained she didn't have
any knowledge of Epstein and his accomplice, named Maxwell's criminal activity.
The deposition was halted briefly after a conservative influencer leaked
a photo from inside the room that he says was
given to him by Colorado Republican Lauren Bobert in violation
(31:09):
of committee rules.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Another multi day Just what everybody in the Northeast doesn't need, right,
another multi day winter storm, and it could impact millions
of Americans this weekend from the Midwest to the northeast.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Low end projections expect one to three inches of snow,
but some forecasts are leaving open the possibility of six
to eight inches of snow from the Ohio Valley to
portions of the East coast along Eye ninety five. You know,
all the desert southwest will be dealing with its own
weather woes. The record for hottest February temperature in Phoenix
is in danger of falling this weekend. The National Weather
Service forecast shows projected highs of ninety three degrees at
(31:43):
Sky Harbor International Airport today and ninety four degrees tomorrow.
That would be enough to beat the hottest temperature ever
recorded in February in the Valley of the Sun. That
was ninety two degrees. And it's happened twice in nineteen
twenty one and nineteen eighty six. I'm Tammy TRIHILLO.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Step aside Jack Klagman and two Randall. We got a
new odd couple. New York City Mayor zoron Mam Donnie,
Socialist says he had a productive meeting with the MAGA
President Donald Trump at the White House.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
The exact details of the unannounced meeting were kept under reps,
but reports say it's centered around building affordable housing in
the Big Apple. The Democratic Socialist mayor confirmed that he's
looking forward to building more housing in New York City.
The last time the two met was back in November,
shortly after Mom Johnnie was elected mayor, with both having
(32:31):
nice things to say about one another.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The International Space Station may get a new lease on life.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Roy O'Neil has the details.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
The space station is over twenty five years old and
plans around the books to destroy it after twenty thirty,
but Congress will consider legislation to add two more years
to its life. Next week, a Senate committee will consider
a bill that includes the ISS Extension to give space
companies more time to develop a replacement. The bill also
directs NASA to build a base on the Moon as
(33:02):
part of its Artemis Lunar program.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I'm Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Netflix is dropping it's bid to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
The streaming giant is declining to submit a higher offer
for WBD after the studio's board described the latest offer
from Paramount's guidance as superior. It comes after Paramount submitted
an offer of roughly one hundred and ten billion dollars
to acquire WBD. Netflix was given four days to submit
a counter offer.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
But now says it will not.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
A potential Paramount WBD merger will still need US and
European regulatory approval for completion.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
