Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Fort 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. Enjoy the podcast. Good morning American, It's Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Two street, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding, because.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Where in this together?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael, Bill Charna.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Here. You wouldn't do Carlton, your norm man, because that
would be blasphemous to let's start with Paul Harvey on
Friday and then you throw in Disney. Well here here
you go, carl too late now seven minutes after the hour.
It's Friday, July the eighteenth, twenty twenty five, on the
airine Live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.

(01:03):
I'm Michael del Jorna. No place I'd rather be honored
to serve you. Jeffrey serving up the sound, but not
Carlton the doorman in a timely fashion red keeping an
eye on the content and if you're just waking up.
The House gave final approval to the package of nine
billion dollars of doze cuts. That's tough news for some
foreign aid recipients and NPR and PBS, but far short

(01:23):
of the trillion that was the goal. President Trump has
ordered the release of all the pertinent grand jury testimony
in the Jeffrey Epstein case. And I'm gonna hope, I'm
gonna say this right the proceed I'm looking at two
d students over here, like you're gonna know it sounded

(01:45):
good to me. The preceed meteor shower is going to
offer all of you skywatchers a view of what is
considered to be the best meteor shower of the year.
And that's through the weekend. So it like this keeps
happening nightly. It's like free fireworks. Now, if that's all
you've got going for your weekend, I'm just sitting here

(02:08):
looking over the nine billion dollar package, passing Wow. I mean,
there's just economically for the president right now. You got
gas sitting at three dollars and sixteen cents a gallon.

(02:28):
Retail sales is up zero point six percent, inflation is
at two point nine percent, there's some two plus trillion
dollars in international financial agreements for investment in the United States,
and about one hundred billion and duty collections in June alone.
I mean, it's for all the that's all. I mean,

(02:53):
that's a pretty good Remember, if this is all he
had done in the first one hundred and what are
we at now one and forty days? Fifty days? No,
probably more than that, right, probably like one hundred and
eighty days, whatever it is. I mean, that would be
remarkable on itself, let alone cutting the border, let alone
taking out the Houthis and Hamas and supporting Israel and

(03:13):
then negotiating the ceasefire, isolating Iran, taking out their nuclear capabilities,
and now working in a fifty day ultimatum with Russia.
It's been a busy presidency. But just to show you
how we've all been in a weird mood all week.
When we discuss Friday with forty seven, I'm guessing we're

(03:34):
going to talk about revoking Rosy citizenship from me when
she so she can't return from Ireland. The Epstein hot potato,
his grudge with the Fed chair, I imagine the conversion
back to sugar cane coca cola. These will be the
hot topics because nobody wants to keep their eye. I'm

(03:56):
guessing today that all my audience wants to talk about
this CEO, which makes me very uncomfortable. I have no
gray feelings about adultery. I believe the wages of sin
are death, and unrepented and unconfessed and undealt with could
equally eternal death. It could certainly lead to death of

(04:19):
a marriage and the breakup of a family. These are
none of the things I want to celebrate what this
guy is going. I mean, what he did was clearly wrong.
But can you imagine you're doing whatever your sin is

(04:41):
could be gossip, could be drinking, could be cursing, and
all of a sudden, today the entire world, let alone country,
is playing videos of you in your worst moment. I mean,
I actually said a prayer for the guy that he
doesn't commit suicide and that somehow saves his family, protects

(05:02):
his marriage. I mean, yes, but it almost There are
times where you forget, you're laughing. That's somebody's father that's
going to destroy their family. I don't know that I
blame coldplay. I mean, if you've ever been to a
baseball game, you know, if you're going to have this

(05:24):
kind of behavior, you're going to have consequences. I mean,
I don't know how they didn't think they could bump
into somebody they know or I don't know, but I
guess in their wildest dreams, they didn't think they'd end
up on the Jumbo drawn. And I bet in their
wildest dreams, they didn't think that they would be, you know,
addressed by the lead singer from the stage. Why is

(05:48):
that so speed? That's just the way the week is?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Why of course the former Uh but yeah, I mean
obviously Martin, Martin's first name, the guy.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
All the guy had to do was just stay still.
It was the reaction that caused the viral moment. Well,
but there's this, there's this. But then when you go
into them, when you go into the comments, I know,
I'm gonna be a fun sucker on this, but God,
because I wanted to just set the tone early, I'm
not gonna have a lot of tolerance for this. Do

(06:40):
I think adultery aus sin? Yes, it's a big one
and it's a serious deal. It's some of where there's
a wife humiliated and hurting because of his actions somewhere
his kids. Can you imagine, think, God, the kids aren't
in school. I mean, this is a nightmare. And then
when you go to the comments and you see what
people are saying, it's a zeld. Everybody's delighting in this,

(07:04):
and it has that old feeling in the old days
of how we used to stone people, to start stoning them.
You don't think it's a rock because that's a comment
on social media, but this guy's life. And then I
feel like Jesus over here drawing in the sand, going on,
who's without sin to be throwing these stones? I mean, yeah,

(07:25):
it's bad, so is your sin. Everybody's you know, sins
are a lot like passing gas. Everybody else has smell,
but yours, don't, you know what I mean? Kind of
a thing, All right, move along? Well, But I mean,
so it's this kind of I don't know, you know,
I'm just wired not to delight in the misfortune of others.
I think mostly about his wife and kids because I've

(07:46):
been on that end as a child. And if I
was tempted to make any comment, it was you know,
it was the hr director. That's that's confidence because you
ask H director, I make a move on an H
char director, they could go south. They're not supposed to
be like the police of all this stuff, right, But yeah,
I mean, just needless to say for the protection of

(08:09):
your morning show. I'll be seeing Coldplay next week with
my son, which I'm dreading by the way, because it's
probably gonna be like ninety five degrees. I'm hoping it
rains well before warn Chris Martin, isn't it who's the
lead singer of Coldplay? Why am i Chris Martin? Yeah?
Thank you? You guys, just me hanging like a partisiple.
We never know. But isn't that awful? And I mean
it's just one of those moments, you know, and then

(08:30):
he nails it. You're either cheating or you're shy. It
seems too set up to me. I mean, somebody is
somebody is taping the screen, the big jumbo tron. I thought,
I know, no, I well, someone's bound to and I'm
then radio and broadcasting long enough, I don't believe anything.

(08:52):
Do you think it was? Like A said, I think
they're two very good looking people. And when a camera's
doing that, whether you're at a minor league baseball game
for I'm doing it now. I'm doing the whole segment
on it, and I didn't want to, and I gave
the reasons why move along. Nothing to see. But I
thought they were, you know, attractive, and they were. They
looked very enough. I mean, I think that's why they

(09:12):
got picked. So you're suggesting that maybe this was all
coordinated to out him. It certainly a piece could be. Yes,
it appears like it could be a Right now, we'll
get talkbacks on that. Let me redo my analogy. While
I presume most of people want to talk about that
or the firing of Cobert, nobody's going want to talk
about these heart issues right now. The UK luring the

(09:36):
voting age to sixteen. If Trump's going to get rid
of about a million illegal immigrants who who either have
been voting or their names have been voting in order
to steal elections, and they don't have that, they're going
to want to go younger and younger.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
The problem is right now younger and younger isn't really
going in their favor. But I will say out loud
questions of the day the UK goes to sixteen, what
do you think of that, and are you concerned the
US may get the idea from them and try to
do the same. The whole Trump BONDI thing. That's been
a whole week long soap opera. Like the Sands through

(10:14):
the hour glass. This is the days of the time
and it came to a head. You'll hear it in
our Sounds of the Day with our Washington representative and
a CNN host who held her accountable. She suddenly you're
you and the rest of the Democrats are so fascinated
with this Epstein list. Why didn't you ever call for
it when Biden was president? She didn't have a very
good answer for that. I think I would even make

(10:39):
the top story because remember Stephen Colbert didn't get fired.
CBS is making it clear the entire show is gone,
and it's gone in May. I look back at my
local time in Nashville, and for about a decade I

(11:03):
tried to drive home to people the death of journalism
for two reasons. One, so they know they would know
the hour in which they live and what caused it.
Not just technology, but abuse and loss of trust ultimately
led to its death. Well, I still have to stand

(11:27):
by my guns and this defense a lot of my listeners.
I watched it. His performance was amazing. The movie itself. Man, eh,
you're a hard laugh. No, I'm telling that's the greatest
Western ever. Yeah, I didn't get it. So, but here's

(11:51):
what I will say, is this the beginning of the
death of late night. And I have kind of been
seeing that coming for a long time, probably because my
hero spoke of it many years ago, propheside of it
many years ago. I'll share that hero and what he

(12:13):
said and the reality for CBS and don't think ABC
Jimmy Kimmel and don't think NBC Jimmy Fallon are all
that far behind. And we talked about this at length
because the ratings came out earlier in the week and
Gutfelt beat them all. And I thought to myself, are

(12:36):
you kidding me? On a Fox news channel where you
have news and political commentary, you're doing a late night
comedy show and it's beating ABC, NBCCBS seventy five years

(12:56):
of history because they're busy doing politics when they should
be doing comedy and entertainment. You can't make this up.
If you get death of journalism and you get it's
not a victory for anybody it's a defeat for the
entire republic because it's a massive loss of trust and
an inability to hold people accountable or understand what's really happening.

(13:24):
It's a defeat for us all. It's not a good thing.
It takes me a long time to find out what
real news is because I got to go to all
the sources with their spin and read through their spin
to get in. Then, like a guy that used to
sift for gold and sayd look for the one piece
of gold. It's a nightmare. But are we transitioning into
the death of Late Night? And I believe we are.

(13:45):
We'll talk more about that here. Coming up in about
fifteen minutes, A long visit with John Decker today. What
we got a lot to cover. The testimony continues in
the Biden cognitive cover up. Also going to talk to
him about an exciting new announcement. For those of you
that love our visits with John Decker, you're going to
love the news you get today. Rory's going to join

(14:08):
us on reopening of Alcatraz, as well as Coca Cola
changing its formula to sugarcane. And we'll also talk about
this cancelation of Late Night with Rory as well. But
we got a lot to talk about. And it is Friday,
and that means Friday with forty seven.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chrono.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I have one smart listener, Rick Kujawa. Now I have
to wonder if I said his name right, but it
was pronounced proceeds is the media right?

Speaker 5 (14:37):
There you go?

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Rick? Did I did I just mispronounce your name?

Speaker 6 (14:43):
Now?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Could you give me a correction on your name while
we're at real quickly. Denomination of former Fox News host
Janine Piro to the US Attorney for Washington d C
has been approved by the Senate Judiciary. Mark Mayfield has
more no.

Speaker 7 (14:59):
Democrats w When the panel advanced Piro's nomination to the
full Senate on Thursday, the Democratic members of the committee
stage to walk out after Republican Senator Chuck Grasler of
Iowa cut off debate on the nomination of Amiel Bove
for a spot on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Piro has been DC's acting US attorney since the Senate
failed to advance the nomination of Ed Martin In may A.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Mark Mayfield Christy Nome was in Nashville because the TSA
is opening two new airport security lanes.

Speaker 6 (15:24):
Homeland Security Secretary Christine Nome was at the Nashville International
Airport to announce the Honor Lane and a lane for
families traveling with young children. The Honor Lane will be
exclusively for military members and their families with the Family Lane.
Nomes that she could relate to how difficult it can
be traveling with kids, being a mother and a grandmother herself.
No previously announced passengers can now keep on their shoes

(15:46):
at TSA checkpoints. I'm Tammy Trhio.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
President Trump has been diagnosed with a very common vein condition,
nothing serious whatsoever, but it does show the transparency of
this president when it comes to health. Meanwhile, by and
more Biden associates will be testifying before Congress today about
hiding former President Joe Biden's cognitive impairment. Breton Franklin, Tennessee.

(16:10):
My Morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. Hey,
it's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard live each
weekday morning on great stations like thirteen sixty, The Patriot
in San Diego, News Talk one oh six point three,
and AM eighteen eighty WM e q oh Claire, Wisconsin

(16:31):
and one oh four nine The Patriot Saint Louis, Missouri
would love to be a part of your morning routine.
But so glad you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. Just
open your eyes, swing that leg over, you'll feel the ground.
Get up, grab some coffee. We got a life to live.
House game. The final approval of that nine billion dollar
Doge spending cut package, President Trump released a pertinent once

(16:54):
the release of all pertinent grand jury testimony the Jeffrey
Epstein case, and attention all my listeners and Biloxi for
sure forecasters are telling us those along the golf coat
should beware of tropical flooding today. Can't have your morning
show without your voice? Can we start with James first? Yeah,
I got that.

Speaker 8 (17:12):
James and Youngstown go warning Michael, Jeffrey and Red.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm with you.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
Let he who's without sindcast the first stone. I'm more
interested in docsing the people in Congress that are trying
to destroy our ice agents and their families because they're
doing their jobs.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
And then there's Roy Michael Coldplay hasn't made a single
in years, it looks like a made two in one night.
He just caused me to stumble it. Well, I've been
holding back and I thought the cold Play tickets for

(17:51):
me and Nick was a lot costs me a lot
nine hundred. Roy's an official writer on the show. We
just took a stance at the beginning of the show.
I'm this poor guy, you know, I hope he doesn't
kill himself. I mean, can you imagine his worst moment
and has caught in his worst sin and yeah, Chris
Martin's on. Wow, they're the cheating or the shy. I
mean that is Oh, it's awful. But I think about

(18:13):
the kids and the family, So I hope we can
stay beyond that. I think we Roy should get the
final stay anyway, because let's face it, you can't top
that one. He is talking back of the day so far.
So we've talked a lot about the death of journalism.
Are we now witnessing the death of late night comedy shows.

(18:33):
It's not that David Letterman or Johnny Carson never covered
these things. They were never obsessed with them, and they
never took one side in them, and they never let
it become the primary source of the show. But you
know as well as I do, that's what we've been

(18:53):
living since twenty sixteen. So it begs one question right
off the bat. If Donald Trump has gone in three years,
could any of them get their credibility back? Could any
of them get the audience's trust back? Could any of
them figure out? Not as I'm saying them, because I
think Late Show is the beginning, not the end. But

(19:19):
could any of them go back to their own formats?
And now the only thing left that it's not much?
Remember Gutfelt beat all of them. Gutfelt doing a comedy
show late night on a news conservative news network beat
the Tonight Show. Well, this would come as no surprise
to Johnny Carson himself. I want to take you back

(19:42):
a long, long time ago in the land far far away,
one that I wouldn't mind returning to. This is Johnny
Carson on sixty Minutes with Mike Wallace, and Mike Wallace
is trying to recruit Johnny Carson to do the very
things that it would later cause the death of journalism

(20:03):
and trick him into creating the death of late night.
And there's a reason why we call Johnny the King
of Late Night.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
He gets sensitive about the fact that people say he'll
never take a serious controversy well, I have an answer
to that. I said, now, tell me the last time
that Jack Benny red Skelton uh Benny comedian used.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
His show to do serious issues.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
That's not what I'm there for. Can't they see that?
But you and I do?

Speaker 5 (20:32):
They think that just because you have it tonight's show,
that you must deal in serious issues.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's a danger. It's a real danger.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Once you start that, do you start to forget that
self important feeling that what you say has great import
And you know, strangely enough, you could use that show
as a form you could sway people.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
And I don't think you should as an entertainer. Are
you reluctant in putting together your monologue to go hard
on a guy only when I sense the mood is?

Speaker 5 (21:00):
And I wish you can do from an audience, And
I'll give you perfect illustration. When Wilburn Mills had his
problem with the famous panty fox in the title basement
and so forth, it was amusing to most people, and
you could do jokes about it. I stopped doing jokes
immediately as soon as people found out that he was
an alcoholic and I had emotional problems and in fact was.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Dependent on alcohol.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Then I think that would be a cheap shot to
take to still do jokes about it. So I immediately
ceased doing jokes about that because it was really unfair.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Of course, it takes one to know one, Oh, what
a jerky thing for Mike Wallace to say, Yes, Johnny
was an alcoholic, he overcame it. It was also addicted
to cigarettes, and he did and he died it on Phisima.
I wonder if Michae Wallace would joke about that. Oh,
probably not, because Mike Wallace smoked. But that's Johnny Carson.

(21:55):
By the way, I don't mind adding that that is
I believe is it sixty years ago, No, it'll probably
fifty six years ago that Johnny Carson said those words.
That's Johnny Carson telling you an entertainment show has no
business becoming a political show, taking a side or trying

(22:18):
to steer people's minds. That's not quote. That's not what
the show is there for, and that's what every single one.
That's why I don't want to be gloom and doom
and delight and misfortune. But that's why I would say, Well,
if CBS came to this conclusion, you don't think it's

(22:40):
possible ABC and NBC do now, I do see this.
If you're NBC in ABC, wait to see if one
or the other does it, because if you're the last
one standing, well you would you could stand to double
your ratings without even changing it. And probably Kimmel couldn't.

(23:05):
I guess it's all how you look at it. Kimmel
could if you stayed in this cancerous trajectory and actually
get an increase. Is where else would Colbert's audience go
if there's anyone that has the capability of dropping it,
because he doesn't do it that much. And getting back
to what late night talk always was is Jimmy Fallon.

(23:28):
But the question of the day for the talkbacks, and
to steer you away from our CEO in Boston, is
to really think, is this the first, the only, or
the tip of the iceberg? And did Johnny Carson not
call it fifty five years ago? And we should have

(23:54):
saw it coming because and Gutfeld we took by the
way we took off. People will stick up for Gutfeld.
I don't watch gutfeldt because I'm not up at that hour,
all right, So it's nothing personal. You don't have a
grudge against him. I'm not the biggest fan of Fox
as many of my listeners are, because I think I

(24:16):
have caught them playing shirts and skins just like seeing it.
I just prefer to play on their team if we're
gonna play shirts and skins. But yeah, I mean, I
take and the egos. I can't stand the egos. But
all I was saying about gutfeldt was think about it.
This is a news channel and a political because I

(24:38):
tell you a few times i've seen Gutfeld on five.
Sometimes he's got really insightful takes on things. He's not
just funny, he's actually smart. So but but the one
that does the comedy at night, well, that affects the
credibility of the one talking serious at five. I mean,
I the old program director in me would say that
this is not based in key benefit. But it's working,

(25:00):
and I know you love it and it's great, and
I'll bet there are a lot of people that will
give gut Felt the credit for killing Colbert or Trump
the credit for killing Colbert, and there might be some there.
I give the credit to Johnny Carson knowing it fifty
five years ago, and it's like a car stuck on

(25:22):
a train track with a train's light and whistle getting
closer and louder. You knew it was coming. So the
ultimate question really gets down to is the death of
late night TV right behind the death of journalism. I'd
love to hear from you. Don't forget the talkback buttons
on your iHeartRadio app. It's a microphone. You press it,

(25:43):
count you down, three, two, one, You can ask a question,
make a comment, and you have thirty seconds to take
your place at America's morning kitchen table. And that's the
death of the Late Show. Stephen Colbert and the Late
Show Gone. Effective May of next year, Pard, if you're
just waking out, these are you not one, not two,

(26:05):
not three, but top five stories of the day. The
Trump administration will begin sharing the personal information of Medicaid
recipients with immigration authorities. Mark Mayfield has all the details.

Speaker 7 (26:15):
According to multiple reports, the Department of Homeland Security is
going to have access to the information.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Of millions of enrollees.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
The agreement between DHS and the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services is aimed at preventing undocumented immigrants from getting
Medicaid benefits and comes amid President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Although illegal immigrants are already prohibited from enrolling in medicaid,
federal law mandates that states offer medicaid to people who
need emergency treatment, regardless of their immigration status.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Former Vice President Tim Walls says he's
not running for president in twenty twenty eight. Was anybody
wanting him to? Brian shook you All Morning Long reports.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Speaking on a podcast, the Minnesota governor said, even though
he's not running, he will do everything he can to
help to the Democratic Party. Walls was the running mate
of former Vice President Kamala Harris when they lost to
President Trump this past November. The governor likely had an
outside shot of gaining his party's nomination based on recent polls.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm Brian Shuok. I could be having an elderly moment,
not that I'm old, but I don't recall Donald Trump
ever promising big on Epstein. Now I know that Dan
Bongino on his radio show and podcast did for years.
Pam BONDI now the one statement I will defend her

(27:38):
because I played it on the show. We listened to
it three times. She's clearly talking about what was on
her desk, and it wasn't a reference to a black
book being on her desk. It was these cases on
her desk. But others have I recall her on occasion
and cash, but telling at occasion. I don't ever remember

(27:58):
Donald Trump making you know like they did after the
twenty twenty twenty election, you know that the Kraken was
going to open. I don't recall any of that. So
and I say that because we can give the White
House a little bit of grace, it could be the
White House's position it's time to move on from this.
But there's going to be a lot of people on

(28:18):
the left that won't let go of it. The left
can't talk about this enough and the right can't talk
about Mam Donnie enough because they're both political hot potatoes
that nobody on that side shirts or skins wants to
be caught holding. But spokesperson Carolyn Levitt was asked about

(28:40):
what part of the DOJ investigation into the late sex
trafficker as President Richrump referred to when he calls it
a hoax. Her explanation matches what my guess was that
he meant. But this is the key, This is the
key to this whole Epstein story. From the White House's perspective,
you got to start explaining this the way I explain it.

(29:02):
Somebody's got to start explaining it. Clearly, your poor communication
is what's giving both sides the suspicion of hoax. But
what did the President mean when he said it's a hoax?
Carolin Levitt?

Speaker 9 (29:13):
The President is referring to the fact that Democrats have
now seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine
suggestion for any Democrat to make.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Meanwhile, she defends it. They've been open about the process
all along.

Speaker 9 (29:29):
It was this president who directed the Department of Justice
and the Attorney General to do an exhaustive review of
all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
And now it's this president who is ordering the release
of all pertinent grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.
He said in his truth Social post Thursday night he
had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce testimony subject
to court approval. Again, there is no evidence of a

(30:00):
black book. What there is is a list of names,
and the list of names came from deposition testimony of victims,
and they may very well have been victimized by that name,
but that name is withheld until the case can happen,

(30:23):
and they have a chance because you're innocent until proven guilty. Therefore,
after Epstein killed himself, these names have all been by
a judge's order redacted. That's why nobody can release the
names to you. And there can't be a trial because

(30:44):
the accused is dead. Now is it possible that buried
somewhere in there there's a big scandal. I don't know,
but Alan Dershowitz would be the one to probably give
you the best educated guess because he was the attorney

(31:04):
in the case. His name has been kicked around as
being associated with this. There's nobody that would have rather
this case go to court than durshi Witz to clear
his own name, if nothing else. But he was there
for all the depositions, He's looked at all the evidence.

(31:27):
He would know, and he's saying, not only is Donald
Trump covering anything up, because there's nothing to cover up.
There's a lot of people on that list that though
they had some kind of an affiliation with Epstein, and
for whatever reason, he can't even explain that some of

(31:48):
them would turn to this goofball to handle their money.
But just because they had an association with him doesn't
mean that they participated in some of these deviant acts
and that that's worthy of protecting. There's a story today
Donald Trump wrote a letter to him on his birthday
back and that's not what you want to know. You

(32:11):
want to know who was having sex with minors that
were trafficked. And then please stop with the Well, if
there's no book and there's nothing, then why is his
girlfriend in jail. Well, she's in jail for setting up
underage people for sex and participating in it. But all

(32:34):
these other names haven't been prosecuted because the case never
happened because he supposedly killed himself. Believing he killed himself.
That's a stretch, the big stretch for me understanding why
these names can't be released. It's a simple answer, because
a judge has ordered them sealed. So you got to

(32:57):
take this case to that judge, get him to unsealed
and the release those names. And even then I would
say that's kind of unfair because you're gonn get a
bunch of names in the news. Everybody's going to presume
they had sex with kids when they didn't. But my
ultimate question is why can't the White House simply explain
it this way? And had they from the beginning, may
not be in this mess.
