Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:01):

ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty

(00:22):
the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well two three Starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Because we're in this together. This is your.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Morning show with Michael gel John. Welcome to your morning show.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
It's Chris Rock and from Michael del Jorno. We are
having a blast with you. We're going to get into
some craziness going on with the epteen files and a
whole tranch of thirty three thousand or thirty five thousand
documents to maybe stave off the Thomas Massey Rocanna thing
that we're going to do a press const conference with

(01:04):
his victims. This is getting real weird, to be truthful
with you. We'll get to that coming up in just
a moment. But first We're going to talk to our
national correspondent, Rory O'Neil Hawaii.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Sir, I'm doing well, Chris, how are you good?

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Brother? Well, listen, we see this whole new study come out.
We got two things. Number one say at the same time.
Here we get the best and worst places to retire. Also,
we see half of Americans don't think they will be
able to afford retirement. So I'll tell you what, We'll
hit the Let's hit the retirement thing first, because sure,
what's the difference now between the nineties and early two thousands,

(01:40):
because it's a different ballgame and a lot of people
are freaking out and not thinking they have enough, et cetera.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
What is the difference between back then.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
I think it's just the way the costs have escalated
so much, and you look at the real estate issues.
Retiring in a small little place in Florida just isn't
in the cards anymore because all those small little places
have been snatched up and turned into mc mansions there.
So this is why about half of Americans don't think
it's realistic for the average American to expect to retire comfortably.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I think that's the focus, is the.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Comfortable part because you know, more and more companies have
a limit of private companies have eliminated the pension. So
we're all sort of figuring out, well, I did this
wor on one K thing for thirty years?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Was that enough?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
And a lot of people don't seek the professional help
that is available out there to better plan for their
later years.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
I'm seeing that some people haven't reached out to financial advisors.
They don't trust them or they're afraid of them or
something like that. And then also I'm seeing the three
and four whisht they could have done things differently that
would have made their financial future better. What can they
and we do now?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
You know, what can we do?

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
And the other startling number first though, is that forty
three percent of us expect to work until we die.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm going to take a sobering number.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Yes, I'm going to tell one thing that the Bible
does not say anything about retirement. That's my quotation. I'm
sure Michael would agree. It doesn't mean you and I
want to work when we'll barely you know, make it
ends to meet my plans to are barely you know,
able to work, my plans at least to go to
seventy five. This business, that unit working isn't as punishing
as most places might be for folks.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I work, yeah, right, not really backbreaking, and we're getting
up in the middle of the night at these hours anyway,
So you and I, so the people.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
That work are successful in city game.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
What Yeah, Now, I just said I'm getting up at
three o'clock in the morning anyway.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now I just stay up is pretty much.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I'm still kind of asleep still right now. I don't
know what's going on there. I learn about that side.
I'm leaning over the microphone.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, but look, the idea of being a compounding interest
is your friend, and that's a great thing to know
when you're twenty five, if you start squirreling away money
and how that compounding interest.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Really can help in the long run.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
You know, twenty five bucks saved thirty years ago is
worth a heck of a lot more than trying to
squirrel away twenty five bucks today and hoping that's going
to cash in somehow in ten years. So yeah, starting
earlier and trying to get rid of this debt. You know,
Americans have one point two trillion dollars in credit card
debt right now. More people think it's more important to
pay that off. They're probably right, but over saving for

(04:20):
retirement is the issue, and you know that gets back
to controlling our spending habits.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Rory.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I appreciate you very much and we look forward to
talking to you again in the eight thirty four about
Space Command and it's going to be moving to Huntsville, Alabama,
most likely. Appreciate you, Chris, Thanks, yes, sir, all right
there he goes, Okay, the Epstein Files. This is getting
super weird, guys, very super weird, because the reports come
out yesterday what late afternoon or evening read is that

(04:50):
about right?

Speaker 4 (04:50):
The report?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
And it was like thing with thirty five thousand, thirty
five thousand documents dumped at the order of James Comer
and the House Oversight Committee and til Oversie commodity or whatever.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
It was not intelligence but the Oversie Committee.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
And so then you have to supposedly, you know, I'll
read from the Fox News story. Supposedly they say that
that sudden release by James Comer appears to be a
bid to neutralize effort and effort by a representatives Massy
Thomas Massey and a Republican from Kentucky and Rocanna, Democrat
California two forward that were they were going to force

(05:26):
a vote on their own bill to make the DJ
release the Epstein information. Why why is this? Why is
this stupid game going on? What do they know that
we don't know? These freaking people are so stupid with this,
you know why, because all they're doing is digging a

(05:46):
deeper and deeper and deeper hole that makes this look
like the end of the world. And it began though,
with the Trump administration totally handling this horribly and you know,
saying how there's so many things there and then oh,
what was not really anything near?

Speaker 4 (06:00):
A nothing burger? And then it makes it look worse.
So this was totally horribly.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Mismanaged by the trumpministration from day one of this second term.
And then second of all, these people, right, I say people,
He's Republicans are literally tripping over themselves to make things
look worse. I don't know if there's there there and
some of the stuff I hearing here sounds like it
could be absolutely horrible. But guess what else they had yesterday?

(06:28):
A surprise meeting Speaker Johnson and roughly two dozen Oversight
Committee members that dumped all these first trons of documents,
met with six women who detailed the abuse they experienced
as part of Epstein's dealings and who urged lawmakers to
investigate what happened to them.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
So now you have.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
The Speaker and Comer dumping all these things and then
having a sudden meeting with the overside committee members and
six women who are victims.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
What is it? But what? What in the heck are
they doing?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Right?

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Is this not the stupidest thing in the world.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
Why don't they just prosecute whoever did anything to them?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Right?

Speaker 7 (07:14):
I mean, what diff Why is Congress involved in this?
If if somebody did something to them whose name wasn't Epstein,
prosecute them?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
You know what? You know what's going on here?

Speaker 7 (07:25):
I think, I mean, make a charge against them and
prosecute them.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
I think these people are such fools, and they're literally
doing what the Democrats want them to do. Push a button,
Act like idiots. Act like you're guilty. Push okay, let's actly,
we're guilty. Let's act like idiots. I mean, it's like
Trump's playing the Democrats, but these Democrats are playing them
because they're not. They're literally being programmed by Democrats. That's stupid.

(07:50):
Either do it or don't, but shut up and stop
these games.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
How's that? Let me let me share a little bit more.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
I want you to hit that talkback button, join the conversation,
click the talkback but on the iheartstream, clicked the microphone,
and go to town. Because this is to me a
disgrace and a joke and stupid. They're one not being
to each other to try to stop the other one
from releasing more information.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
And they all look guilty, all of them. Now let
me read on.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
This is really gonna give you more details. This is
from the Wall Street Journal column or not call them
a story on this late yesterday. The lawmakers who had
this meeting with six abuse victims and two dozen Oversight
Committee members and the speaker. The lawmakers who attended the
two and a half hour meeting yesterday said it was
a somber affair. They said the women appealed for a
closer look at the documents and pushed for transparency, but.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
They wanted their privacy protectives. I'm not mad at them.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Because they're victims, but this is a stupid back and
forth tightrop game. See, this is why this is such
a big problem. They're gonna be in their fervor to
try to get the right stuff out and beat one
of the other side. They're going to release something that
is very bad. They're gonna out a victim by accident,
or they're going to out somebody whose name is in

(09:02):
there that didn't do anything wrong. Do you know what
I'm saying, Like somebody that was, you know, a friend
of Epstein's, but they had no deal with this. They're
gonna do some stupid, stupid stuff. Because when you grab
stuff and you start throwing stuff and trying to stop
the other things, you act the fool. You make big
mistakes and if you out of victim, you're in big trouble.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
And someone's going to accidentally do that. You watch, you watch.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Let me continue on with this, though, the women appealed
for close look of transparency and they wanted to see
the documents, but they want their privacy protected. That's the tightrope.
That's why none of this can be done. In a second,
let me read on. At least two of the women
had never shared their stories publicly before. Wow, what have
I been saying for weeks and months? The way to

(09:44):
get the client list? There is no client list. I
believe that you know what the client list is, all
the victims saying who it was and putting that together
in a list. And so there was no client list
and there will be none until the women behind the
scenes not publicly come forward and give the information who
the client list is.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
It makes sense. So there's your client list. Talk to
all the victims.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
And I don't blame any of these women at all
forever wanting anything to go public of their name. It's
courageous and heroic, but it can't. It'll blow up their lives.
I understand, and they are victims. Let me read on,
I keep saying, let me read on. I'll just read on.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
There were tears in the room. There was outrage, said
the speaker.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
I would describe it as heartbreaking and infuriating that justice
has been delayed for so long. See, they're peaking our interest.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Even more.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Representative Dave min Democrat California, was there. He says he
and other lawmakers left the meetings sensing the federal officials
have withheld a large amount of information from Congress. So
now this has been this is like being take this
stuff handed, it handled so stupidly and incommonly, and then make
a formula multiply by thousand and take a match and
dumbcasting lead on fire.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
That's what just happens today. There were some references to, you.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Know, they've men Democratic California says, there were some references to,
you know, the richest, most pomped people in the world
at the highest levels of government maybe also have been
trying to help facilitate this, said Anapaulina Anapaoulina Luna, the
Republicans from Florida. So wait is she saying people most
powerful in the world, highest levels of government are trying

(11:16):
to help facilitate this getting out or facilitate hiding.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
I don't see what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
This is all bizarre, stupid, And she said the victims
themselves have said this is a lot bigger than I
think anyone anticipated.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
So this is where we're at.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
And I think the more that continues on this and
the more it's drawn out, the more it hurts Trump
and the Republicans because all they got to do is
say everything's been bungled, and now they's got to come
forward and tell the truth and tell the truth, say
we messed up. Here's what we know, Here's what we
don't know. And here's what we're going to do. But

(11:55):
instead you have these lawmakers, Republicans one uping each other.
Why are they trying to kill here's the big question,
why are they trying to kill Rocanna and Thomas Massey's
press conference with some of the victims.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Why are they trying to kill that?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now?

Speaker 5 (12:10):
What is behind that? And you know what they're afraid
to say? Maybe maybe I don't know what it is,
but maybe they're afraid to say. These guys are playing
a game. These guys are being played by some maybe
with some victims, with an agenda. And we're trying to
cut this off because what they're gonna do is gonna
is gonna be bad.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
And here's why.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
So until then you have idiots out outnumbering out, jumping
each other, and and and and all those make it look.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Worse and worse and worse.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Do you guys, Red and Jeff, do you guys think
there's more there there? Or do you think it's just
continued unbelievably incompetent handling of all this?

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Anyone?

Speaker 7 (12:49):
So they first so they so they first said that
there was they were going to release all the information.
Then they said there was no information. Now They're released
thirty five hundred pages of documents of which they said
there was no information I mean, and.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
They released it to stave off the press conference with
the other victim go ahead.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
How not to handle a situation? I mean, this is it,
it's been. How you make us make it look worse?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Do you think there's there there then? Or just grand
in competence?

Speaker 7 (13:17):
I I don't. I think on one side, I think
it's I think it's sad because I think there's I
don't trust anybody in Washington. I think these people are
just using these women and trying to get Trump.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
That's a great point, that is. I literally there's been
nothing they haven't been willing to do to try to
get Trump. This would be this would be nothing compared
to rigging the intelligence agencies and a former president of
who's in Obama rigging at all?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You know?

Speaker 5 (13:43):
So yeah, spot on, good job, talk back. I want
to hear your thoughts on this. Maybe there's something we've overlooked.
Maybe you have a good point that maybe we're off.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I don't think so, because I think I'm right.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
But join the conversation. We use that talkback button on
the ihearts and clicked the microphone icon and go to town.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. This
is your morning show, Chris Proptilia.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
You have to hear Blaine from Kasi. He hit the
talkback button and went to town.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
This is a must here.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Good morning.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Hey, I got an idea.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
What not to invest in?

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Is Venezuelan both futures?

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Blaine, I would like to hire you to be the
third producer of this show because you are hysterical.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
That was awesome. Well played, my friend. That might be
the line of the day.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Period.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
That was great. Do that guy's great? That was awesome.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
The Airbnb co founder, this just came out in the
post last night. This is crazy and good. Joe Gebbia
just announced that because of the massive illegal invasion of
criminals and violence and everything to the unmitigated invasion of
the Democrats wanted and supported as well as Joe Biden
and cackling kam Law, that that is what flipped him

(15:09):
from being a little Democrat billionaire techi in San Francisco
or whatever to a Trump support. Here's some of the quotations.
I remember just being like, holy Kyle, this is crazy.
He said on a podcast he was a lifelong Democrat
till twenty twenty one, when he started shifting because of
the invasion. He says, Eventually I came to the point
where I didn't think I can support a political party

(15:31):
that wants to have an open border. It's criminals and
dangerous people into our country. It's just not something I
can get behind. I've been on my journey towards Trump.
Everybody's been on their journey, he says. By the way,
a US attorney for Los Angeles Bill as Saley, says,
the military is still in Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
They're not out.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
It's a false narrative from that judge that there's some
kind of an injunction. The military has never engaged in
direct law enforcement in La LA. They protect the federal
employees and our properties. Federal agents can samply enforce other
federal laws in the face of thugs.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
That's his response to Gavin Newsom.

lost to TCU Horned Frogs and his first game ever
with UNC whatever forty eight to fourteen. He just needed
his little uh not little bit as a one quarter
of his age girlfriend right next to him to manage
the team, and it would have done so much better.
NBC apologizing for not using sheet to describe the transgender

(17:10):
terrorist in Minneapolis because that's what really matters, cling to
calling him a transgender person and calling him a her
when he literally said he was brainwashing didn't want to
be transgender anymore. No, no, no, even in Deathew terrorists,
you're a woman we know best.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Tim Maul's says America has more guns and the wrong
type of guns. Hey, Tim, rees' the Second Amendment, Tell
me where it says, which guns I can and can't have?
Just because of that, brother would to buy another ar
fifteen go pound sand Donald Trump set for a surprise
trip to New York to watch the Yankees on September eleventh.
Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be like so emotional on
that day in a good way. Let's be so awesome.

(17:49):
I'm right here in New York. I'd love to go
to the Bronx and watch that take place. Man on
that on September eleventh. What a great day that's gonna be.
It's not one hundred percent. Also, ilhan Omar has gotten
super wealthy.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (18:01):
What and if you used being in Congress what she
was attacking people publicly saying that she doesn't have all
that money. It's false that she's worth millions. And now
she's self reported. Apparently they're self worth. Now is the
net worth between her and her husband six to thirty
million dollars?

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Must be nice? What did mel Gibson say? It's good
to be the king? Right? Sounds of the day. I'm
waiting on the consequence.

Speaker 8 (18:27):
This is the best way to get back on your
fat is to get up off your arm.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
I've been leaving that for you, and that guy's out
for years.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
And that's just a bull.

Speaker 10 (18:34):
Do you call that chicken a d They're just blowing off, Steve.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
You can do it, I added to the sound. See
that that was so fun.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
Trump addresses the bizarre viral video this there's a video
supposed to somebody throwing clothes out of the White House
on the second floor.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
But he says no, no, no, no, no. Let's hear what
he says about that.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
I'm sorry, give me a number. Oh you know what,
I don't have a number on that. What's wrong with me?

Speaker 6 (19:05):
I don't know?

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Oh, what's wrong with you? Can I blame you? Anyways? Yeah,
I'm sorry about that. I got that in the wrong pile.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Basically, he says, the window is six hundred pounds and
it's bulletproof and you can't even open the window. So
that was his answer to that. I apologize. That's an
AI video. Let's go to Sounds of the Day. Let's
play Tim Walls on a sick thing about Trump and news.
That was he was suposedly dead over the weekend and
then he was bummed out.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll
through things. And although I will say this, the last few.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Days, you woke up thinking there might be news, just
saying just saying there will be news sometime, just so
you know there will be news.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
How sick that he's excited that the president could be dead,
Just so sick. Speaking of which, Scott Jennings on Fake
News CNN onloads.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
On walls because that cut nine as.

Speaker 11 (19:56):
The president today about this and you did not why well,
because when he got on the phone and sounded very
much alive, I thought it would sound kind of stupid,
frankly to Alaskan and a live person if.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
They were dead.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
But I'll tell you who is a complete piece of
I'm going to tell you right now.

Speaker 12 (20:10):
There have been a lot of swearvices him, well, for
the governor of Minnesota holding up a phone in front
of a rally saying, well, we thought we were going
to wake up and find out the president had died.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Someday it'll happen. Someday it'll happen.

Speaker 12 (20:21):
I used to say he was the biggest buffoon in
American politics, but it's worse now.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
He literally said the full S word. I had to
cut that out myself.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
I listened to it three times because I cut it
out enough now, Peter Doocey goes to President Trump and says,
did you know you're supposed to be dead?

Speaker 12 (20:40):
Completely different, but about a big viral social media trend
over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
How did you find out over the weekend that you
were dead? You see that.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
No, people didn't see you for a couple of days,
one point three million user engagements as of Saturday morning
about your work to mines.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Really, I didn't see that.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
You know I have.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
It's sort of crazy.

Speaker 10 (21:01):
But last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful.
They went very well, like this is going very well,
and then I didn't do any for two days, and
they said there must be something wrong with him.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
Biden wouldn't do him for months.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
You wouldn't see him, and nobody ever said there was
ever anything wrong with him, and we know he wasn't
in the greatest of shape.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
No, I heard that. I get reports, now you knew.

Speaker 10 (21:25):
I did an interview that lasted for about an hour
and a half with somebody and everybody. So that was
on one of your competitors.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
So Trump didn't even know that he was supposed to
be dead, but he did an hour and a half.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
He didn't a hour and a half.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
I've seen Jeff left us.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
So good if he just said I'm not dead yet.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Oh, there you go. There's a song nah dead yet?

Speaker 13 (21:51):
Right?

Speaker 4 (21:52):
It was a song, you know?

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Yeah? Right?

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Okay? So uh and then yet I can doct and
I can think I am not dead yet. I can
do RY and think I am not dead yet. I
don't need to go to bed, no need to call
the doctor because I'm not yet dead.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
Is that money python, Yes, Yes, I didn't even know
that song existed. There's there's a but there was a
rock song in the nineties called not Dead Yet too. Yes, Okay,
that's why I was right. Okay, good, Wow, we're both right.
Usually you're wrong and I'm right most I mean time
exactly exactly, and then when I mess.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Up, I just state it to you guys like THEO.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
So, also, Trump talks about the tariffs being struck down
by a judge. Well, it was a appeals court that
struck it down seven or four on his terriffs. But
here's what he says about tariffs and going to the
Scota Supreme Court.

Speaker 10 (22:55):
With what you were saying regarding the federal the Color
Court that ruled against you and your administration as it relates, Well,
they ruled against our country the court, and they ruled
against us before.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
It's a very liberal court. Well, it certainly is it
certainly exactly.

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Was a long ideological line seven to four.

Speaker 10 (23:11):
Well, except that we actually got one of the Obama
judges that was appointed by President Obama voted in favor
of the tariffs because he felt it was imperative for
our country to thrive and survive. Even uh, and I
gave him credit. I said, you know what, that took
a lot of courage him to do it, because you
don't see that often.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
My question is I imagine, I suspect you're going to appeal
that all the way to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
What we already have? You know, in fact, we're doing
something else.

Speaker 10 (23:39):
We're going to be going to the Supreme what we
think tomorrow because we need an early decision. I mean,
look the the financial fabric of our country. We're a rich,
incredible country right now and we're able to you know,
other countries use tariffs on us for years and we
never did. And I did a lot during my first term,
but then we had COVID and we had to focus

(24:01):
on other things.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
It couldn't be.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
Tariffing Italy, Spain, France, as they were dying by the
thousands and millions. But we did with China, and China
paid US billions and billions of dollars, and I started
the process, but then I had to end it a.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Little bit because of COVID. We focused on that.

Speaker 10 (24:19):
But no, it's a very important decision and frankly, if
they'd make the wrong decision, it would be a devastation
for our country.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
We've taken in trillions of dollars.

Speaker 10 (24:32):
And by the way, all these countries signed agreements as
an example, they said they were all happy. Everybody's happy.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
You know, Producer, Jeff, you are very tricky and sneaky.
He told me that was John Decker, our White House
correspondent and attorney, and I listened to that as it
was playing on. He is so right, that was John Decker.
He's kind of a big deal. So when he comes
on at eight forty eight in the next hour, a
forty eight Eastern, I'm gonna have to tell that. But

(25:00):
he doesn't really respond well when I say stuff like
who hoo, you're a lawyer.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
His big deal is like, brist.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
You gotta let Decker warm up to you. He's like
a Parao cat.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Well, I thought you told me.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
Red is like a Parao cat that just shows up
mysteriously sometimes before the show starts.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Mysteriously.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
He nebulously on on our, on our, on our, whatever
we call this thing, this team's meeting. We can look
at each other during the Uh. I get to I
get to share the the nice message with my fingers
UH to you from time to time right where I'm
mad at you. Uh. But there he had he showed
a little background looks like he's in Santa's village, but
he wasn't there. So a pop up comes and you

(25:36):
see the background, some weird background, but there's no guy.
Now he's flipping the background around from his Bourbon headquarters
behind himself to the Santa's workshop thing. Now he's floating
into clouds with what is that?

Speaker 4 (25:48):
I kept not has options.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
He's flowing on a cloud bed of roses in the
middle of the sky right now his background.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
What is up with this guy? Mark Penn talks about
Trump and polls.

Speaker 14 (25:59):
He's gain So the latest Harvard Caps Harris poll is
out and cover a lot of.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Ground in this pole.

Speaker 14 (26:08):
Mark, as you do every month, but give me your
top takeaways from this month's reading.

Speaker 9 (26:13):
Well, look, I think this month, and we've been doing
this pull for seven years, this month, I think Trump's
rating stabilized, didn't move up or down, and I think
he began to get traction on crime. I think he's
now kind of taking his focus from what I would
say is immigration first too, then kind of tariffs all

(26:36):
over in the middle to really kind of leading a
national crackdown on crime. And I think you're seeing what
I would call generally favorable response to it.

Speaker 14 (26:45):
Let's talk about crime, because you do go into the Washington,
DC situation quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Was there anything in that that surprised you?

Speaker 14 (26:54):
I mean, I know there's been some other data out
there suggesting that, Look, this is one of those issues
that most Americans do believe crime is a problem in
major cities around the country and that it needs to
be dealt with. But was there anything from the data
that surprised you about what's going on in Washington, DC?

Speaker 9 (27:12):
Well, oh, look, I think fifty four percent said that
they approve of the president's approach relative to the using
the National Guard in DC. Look, I think it's interesting
right now, in general, anytime I apply the word Trump,
it is very hard to get above fifty percent. If
I take his name off the policies, I get sixty seventy,

(27:33):
seventy five percent, even eighty percent per se of locking
up criminal people who are here without documentation or here illegally.
But when you put his name, the country is so
polarized on Trump, and the Democrats will not concede a
single inch of anything that the President does that it's
hard for him to get above fifty. So when he

(27:54):
gets fifty four percent, to proving and going wow, that's
like you know, a normal it used to be it
used to be sixty five okay, because that means I
know that there are other people who approve of it,
but won't approve of it because we put the name Trump.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
In the question there.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Now, have you seen that amazing AI video of Trumps
as a baby, then a young boy, then a young man,
and then you know, young adult, and then it goes
on and on as he turns to one scene to
the next, he's walking around and he becomes who he
is now and it looks incredible. Trump did see that
video and he commented on it. Let's hear about thirteen.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
It's the kind of thing they do. And one of
the problems we have with AI. It's both good and bad.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also
they create things. You know, it works both ways. If
something happens it's really bad, maybe I'll have to just
blame AI. But there's truth to it because I see
so many phony things. I saw something as I was
growing up, from the time I was a.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
Baby till now, I said, who did that? It was
AI generated.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
So it's a little bit scary to be honest with you,
but those when all very heavily sealed.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
If you haven't seen the video I retweeted it, just
scroll down a little bit, just a little bit from
the top of my Twitter feed and follow me as
well at Chris crock Show. That's at Chris Crockshow c

collect says she's worth millions of dollars. Well, guess what
she just filed. She's worth six to thirty million dollars. Oh,
I guess she I guess. I guess she really does
pay to be a congresswoman. I mean, she's super rich. Now,

(30:45):
this story that I want to share with you touched
my heart. I love this little boy. He's so cute
and awesome. He's six years old and he literally snuck
out of the house in the morning before his parents
were up because he wanted some breakfast. So he went
a Chick fil A and just walked up their barefoot
and ordered some food and was sitting down and ordering it.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
And then of course the Chick fil A people said, wow,
was the five yearl walked into barefoot? We're calling the cops.
And then here's how that went down. They were so
sweet to the little boy. The cops were and everything.
Let's hear that.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
That's We arrived on scene and as we walked in,
we see a little kid sitting at the table eating
his breakfast with.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
One of the managers. Hey, buddy, look at that.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
We asked where he came from, and he kept saying,
he walked to Chick fil A.

Speaker 6 (31:33):
You know, where your house is right.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Or it's like this, keep right over there.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
Okay, cool, I have children, and you know the first thing,
you know, you get that not in your stomach because
you know somebody else who's.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
A parent is missing their child.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Are you gonna sell us where you live?

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Okay. We gathered him up.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Look at that, so thank you for you.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
I wanted him to the back of my patrol card. No,
I'm not going to put you in jail. And we
started checking the ear.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Hy buddy, whe's your house at We're wondering where did
this child come from?

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Is it right here?

Speaker 5 (32:05):
I love this little boy so much. He's so cute.
He's the best in the world. I see his pictures, so.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
It's like a young Chris k if you as.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
I love him so much. Well, you know what I
did when I was his age. This made me think
about it. Oh, I got to say two things. My
brother and his wife they started later with children, and
he's got a five year old who just turned six,
My god son, my nephew. He literally, you know, when
they put the kids to bed, they got the baby
monitor for the three year old in for him. They
go downstairs the baby monitor and they're you know, they're

(32:36):
they're just having adult time downstairs in the basement with
some friends or something like that, I don't know. And
then all of a sudden they see that he went outside,
like this is after like an hour or two after bed,
like you know, twelve at nine or something, I don't
know what one of them more, I don't know. And
so he's playing in the backyard. Oh no, so this
is apparently kind of normal for them to do this
kind of thing. So he walked out there and said,

(32:57):
you know, obviously got in big trouble. What are you doing.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
You don't leave the house.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
He's just got out of the house at midnight and
go play in the back guard in the middle of
the night.

Speaker 13 (33:04):
So bracelet, yes, yes, we could get it from La Migra.
Second of all, kids up laughing, you're making me laugh.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Down here. Uh.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
And then also when I was five, I hated going
to the daycare center called the Red Balloon. It was
like hell, and I was five and I was miserable.
So one day, instead of taking the bus after school
to the Red Balloon, I hit the bust back to
my house like the movie it. Oh no, no, there
was the Red Balloon was this daycare center that my
parents sent me to. This horrible They're all horrible because

(33:45):
you don't want to go there when you're five. So
there was one bus to go home and one bus
to go to the Red Balloon. And I literally said,
screw this noise, I'm going home. And it was a
cold winter day with like a foot of snow on
the ground in Chicago Land. I get off the bus
and of course I know what's gonna happen to be open.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
So I go to the side of the house. That
door's not open. I go to the back of the
house upstairs and then nothing. It's all locked. And I
start crying.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
So I go, I go.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
I go to my extra neighbor. She lets me and
she gives me hot cocon and calls my parents. So
this is kind of normal that age.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
What what.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
So there were I said, I'm not going on that bus.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
I got this crock getting on a Greyhound and wet.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
So this is the five year old's mine. I'm gonna
go get breakfast.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
I'm not gonna take the bus of the day can
going home the door will magically be opened.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
It wasn't.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
I was crying We're all in this together. This is
