Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I'm so glad you found the podcast, and don't forget
you can listen to your morning show live each weekday morning.
Your Morning Show can be heard in great cities like Youngstown, Ohio, Nashville, Tennessee,
Saint Louis, Sacramento, Phoenix, just to name a few. You
can find the your Morning Show city closest to you
on our website, Your Morningshow online dot com. And we're
glad you're here for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right, a
new way of talk, a new way of understanding, because
we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
This is your Morning Show with Michael gill.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Jordan seven minutes after the hour and welcome to Thursday,
the second of October, year of Our Lord, twenty twenty
five on the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app
and Welcoming Word and WYRD Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina, the
voice of the Carolinas. Welcome to your morning show, and
I apologize that on your inaugural week my audience decide
(01:00):
to go crazy to Youngstown.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We go.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Oh that's the big one, Elizabeth, come to Georgia.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Government shut down.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
You big Demi, Little Fred Sandford from Youngstown, and then
the serious Big John and Poughkeepsie.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
There's another company merge out there, FedEx and ups emerging.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
They're gonna call it fed Up.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
I've the full moon isn't supposed to be till October seventh,
but we've had Forrest Comb and we've had some crazy
calls today. Don't forget to use that talkback button for
those that are listening on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's a little microphone. Press it.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
It'll count you down three to two one, give you
thirty seconds to make a comment, ask a question. No
more rotting on hold and talk radio. You immediately take
your place, whatever that place. Maybe well. The federal government
enters shut down partial shutdown day two. Meanwhile, House Minority
Leader Hakeem Jeffrey says, I haven't heard from the President
since Monday. And the Dodgers advance, uh sweeping the Red
(02:00):
They will play the Phillies on Saturday. All other wild
Card games they had wins and forced a game three,
so we'll have three game threes in the Wildcard.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Today.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Elon Musk, who by the way, becomes the.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
First five hundred billion dollar.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Man, putting Lee Majors to shame wants to add to
the matrix by having grok Apedia to compete with wik Apedia.
Your Morning Show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with
the story. Good morning Rory, Yeah, Good morning Michael.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Well, it's because the allegation is there's Wokipedia, essentially that
Wikipedia doesn't allow conservative voices or conservative input on their website,
and so frustrated by it that Elon Musk says he's
going to use his AI grock in order to develop
groka Pedia.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Now we don't have a timeline on this yet, but I.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Musk essentially believe that by allowing the computer to do it,
you won't get all those pesky human interactions that can
skew some of the Wikipedia information to the left.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So I use chat GPT.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I don't know what the one is that naturally gets
used when you're in Google or on the iPhone, because
I noticed that one has an AI that kicks in
on my phone. I don't know what that one is.
I you know, I would have to say early on.
You know, I mean that there are some wikipedias that
are skewed. Most are okay, I haven't noticed a lot
(03:38):
although AI should be gathering from.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
All of that.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
So you could make a case that with Grockipedia out there,
with Wikipedia, it could ultimately influence AI because AI only
knows everything that's out there. But AI seems to make
I'm not having very many AIS that come back at
me as skewed biased at all.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Well, and that's what Musk is relying on, right, But
his Rock had a few issues that roll out some set.
It was anti Semitic stuff was getting too much in
the mix there, but they said they had to addressed
that problem after launch. But yeah, I think Musk says
that he can create an alternative here. A question is,
you know, will there be any public input like we
(04:20):
see in Wikipedia, will there be ads allowed? And how
does that shift things as well? So yeah, there's still
lots of open questions, as Musk is essentially just putting
this up as a trial balloon, so far rory.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
How much of this is the concept of Wikipedia, which
was that the public would do it and then somebody
would kind of oversee it so that not just anybody
can enter something inaccurate, and then it just got so big.
Who could possibly police that?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well? I think that's essentially that is what's happened.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
And you know, there are several hundred employees in Wikipedia,
but obviously there's so much information there. And you know,
when you used to put something in Google, oftentimes Wikipedia
was the first reference, right that it would make the
first suggestions.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
When is Dolly Parton's birthday? First thing comes up as
Wikipedia link to Dolly Parton.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
But now with Google doing its own AI, typically now
you just see that little summary first that's been generated
by Google's AI. And now we're not clicking through the
articles anymore. And that's all different business discussion. But the
fact that now you're not even making that extra click
is even upsetting things with Wikipedia.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So now we'll have entered into the matrix Grokipedia with Wikipedia.
Depending on which one you go, we could potentially have
two different definitions for the same board. And that'll help
America get along even better, won't it? All Right, we'll
have more with drawer in the third hour, we're gonna
talk about the partial shutdown. I was gonna give you
an example. David Sanati's joining us our senior contributor. He's
(05:47):
also the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable in the
host of the Public Square, A Grokipedia, like x to
compete with all the other social media now Grockipedia to
compete with Wikipedia. I mean, this all just builds on
the matrix, doesn't it. Well, if it works, I don't
think most people will necessarily switch.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Most people don't realize that the single most visited website
on a daily basis in the world is Wikipedia. So
what's to be worried about in regards to bias there?
For example, if you look up Alexander Soros, the topic
of yesterday's conversation that we had together, you will find
he is to fined in Britannica and Wikipedia and on
(06:31):
most AI sites simply as an investor in philanthropist. Okay, okay,
So tell me about the propaganda.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, at some point understanding AI if for no other reason,
if you have Grockipedia out there, won't that feed the
AI brain? In other words, by giving the other side,
you'll get both sides.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
Well, I don't know, Michael, I honestly don't. Not only
do I not know, I'm not sure that I've heard
anyone else who can answer that question at this point
in time. Because the old primitive now abused statement of
garbage and garbage out the artificial intelligence is only going
(07:19):
to draw from what is previously existing data, and now
some people believe it will become sentient and somehow make
up its own data. A little unimpressed by that theory
at this stage in the game, but I'm not the
world's greatest expert on zeros and ones in regards to
digital coding and what it has the capacity to learn
and go forward with. But right now we've only got
(07:41):
what's out there. And so for those of us that
do not participate in the social media matrix as much
as possible, we are either going to be ignored, which
might be our hope, or we are going to be
victimized without defense.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
In theory, if X was the one thing we talked,
what the left didn't count on Donald Trump being the
biggest JFK. JFK and Donald Trump, I think, are the
two presidents that were never supposed to be. One got assassinated,
one was attempted to be assassinated twice and only missed
by a centimeter once. The other thing they didn't count
on was Elon Muskin X. I mean, those are two
(08:17):
variable factors that are working against them. In theory, it
can Grockipedia be what x has become in leveling the
playing field online potentially in theory.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Yes, but we have if we start with fifty billion dollars,
I think we can get there.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, I think it's well, he's got five hundred billions.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
I'm sorry I messed that up.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
She was he's the five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
That's me saying the primary name for Google AI is Gemini.
All right, right on target. He's got us right where
we need to be. Yeah, if you got five hundred
billion dollars, what's a ten percent contribution to displace the
world's largest website.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
So today, but we're going to discuss who's to blame
for the shutdown?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, in one sentence, how would you answer that? Or so?
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And then I'll show you what chat GPT did and
we can compare how AI is doing with reality.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Well, in a sentence, I would change it from who
to what's the blame? And what's the blame is human stupidity.
This doesn't work, It never has worked. And for people
who forgot what it means to crack a book and
study history, it's this kind of rabid, blatant, irresponsible partisanship
(09:37):
and attempting to use every issue to leverage emotional response
from the electorate to pre set up the next set
of congressional elections. That is perilously dangerous in our country
right now. The mask of the shutdown is over a
question of healthcare benefits in the Obamacare system. Yet I'll
(10:00):
virtually guarantee you, Michael, that no one who voted, or
maybe who's even seated in this United States Congress today
has read Obamacare. They don't even know what they're talking about.
I had some time to prethink it. That's a great answer,
by the way, but it's a political theater over legislative duty.
(10:20):
What was my short You remember I used to give
me those quizzes on the golf course doing one sentence.
That would be my one sentence, Right, So I go
through chat GPT and it starts with the party in control.
But then it comes and it explains with the filibuster,
you need sixty and they don't have sixty in the Senate,
which I thought was very impressive that it did that.
(10:41):
It talked about what a president can do in terms
of a bully pulpit and negotiate. It talked about the
political strategy and blame setting and how that is done.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Both parties often leverage shutdowns as bargaining tools and political things.
They actually use the words political theater. Each side is
actively trying to frame the narrative in a way that
places blame on the other, and then it goes into
and David it basically calls the public without saying it ignorant.
Polls suggest more voters blame Republicans for shutdowns, especially because
(11:19):
they hold unified control of government, and a Washington Post poll,
for instance, more respondents blaming President Trump and Republicans and
congressional leaders. Still a significant share of voters say both
parties share responsibility. My assessment shared blame, but heavier on
the majority. So it starts to actually say my assessment.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Yes, it gets into think it personalized itself. My it
now claims.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Personally even though unborn children can't.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Yes that parts well, by the way, that did you, guys,
see what he just said. He just threw that into
the question of unborn sop. This brain is genuinely fired
up this morning, guys.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I was getting ready to go into jim nance for
ten minutes wow, inspired by a phone call from Forrest
Gump earlier. But yeah, my assessment, my shared blame, but
heavier on the majority.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Okay, so let's say that my is wrong. Can I
litigate mine in court? Can I take chet GTP into
court for slander or libel?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
But you know, but what I what I what I
was going to point out was, didn't you want to
point my to previous paragraphs? Because his assessment doesn't match
the way he laid it out.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
So hey, I just.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Call him his well, whatever he is.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I don't know who it is.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
It's just chat GPT, it's an it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It's zeros in one, it's Hell. It's Hell, Yeah, no, Hell,
what Look.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
How well Hell laid it all out? And then it
comes to conclusion. So you know, you gotta in other words,
you gotta police everything. You know, what's the toughest question
for me to answer anywhere down to one minute till
we come back. But when somebody says, well, what do
you read? Well, it's it sucks being us. We have
to read everything. I read left, I read right, I
read middle. That's how at the end of the day,
(13:11):
ninety percent of what I read never comes on the air.
But you know, somebody goes, give me five sources I
can trust. Every day don't you hate when people say that,
because even the most trusted sources, even Hal who was
doing so good for six paragraphs, you know, dismounts with
personhood and gives his assessment.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So you really just can't.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I mean it's almost there's really nothing you can trust
other than at the end of the day, the knowledge
you've accumulated and the discernment God has given you. I
don't know why else to say this, but yeah, here
comes Grock to go with Wikipedia.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
All Right, we're gonna put the finger pointing blame and
resolution when we come.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Back, right, Yeah, who's to blame for the shutdown? And
from a historic perspective, from a budgeting history perspective, and
a duty of the legislative branch of government, we.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Know what ai? He said.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
His final analysis is what is David sinais?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
How can we dog it's not a real voice. This
box just interprets signals from the computer and turns them
into sound.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Shall we blame Ali Sheedy and Matthew Broderick in War Games?
Speaker 5 (14:25):
It's just as David said, it's just a bunch of
numbers that they create a voice out of but chet
GPT my final analysis claiming personhood. All right, twenty seven
minutes after the our federal government, day two of the shutdown,
Dodgers advanced to take the Phillies on Saturday. All other
three wild card games go to an all deciding, winner
take all game later today, and Ice agents will attend
(14:46):
the Super Bowl. Maybe that'll change bad Bunny's mind and
we can get a real act, all right, David bottom line,
who's to blame for the shutdown? From a historical budgeting
and duty of the legislative branch in Congress?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Who's to blame? Well?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Howif thus open up that thing called the Constitution. Those
seven articles will talk to us about what our federal
government is supposed to look like, how it's supposed to operate.
And we see that article one is the United States Congress.
The Federalist papers to find the Congress as the most
powerful branch of government. We do not have three co
equal branches. We have one. That is what the founders
(15:23):
called the vortex of power. When those people are on
perpetual vacation, seeking primarily to keep their jobs and their
parties in power, our nation suffers. And it's very dangerous
when Congress becomes radically factionalized. That's what happened in the
eighteen fifties. That's what gave us a civil war. One
(15:44):
of the reasons that we had a civil war.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Most of what you hear them doing in public both
sides should be done in a closed room and resolved. No,
they'll resolve this the way they always have to out
of duty. But they'll leave us all divide. That's the
partisan game, and that's a dangerous game.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
That small room ought to be a confessional.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
David Zanati, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host of
The Public Square, heard on two hundred stations nationwide. Thank
you for your contributions this week. Yeah, we'll go ahead
and I will decide for everyone. They are all to blame.
It is political theater over legislative duty. They should all
be ashamed of themselves. One sid a little worse than
(16:29):
the other.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Hi, my name is Bern Aaron, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm Michael del Jorno and your Morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on Great stations like six
point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or akrons News Talk
six forty w HLO and AKRON, Ohio and Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. I'd love to be a
part of your morning routine. But we're glad you're here now,
(17:07):
enjoyed the podcast, humbled and honored to serve you. I'm
Michael Jeffrey's got the sound. Nice one with the whispers
was the another one, whispers, I want to be rich?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Was oh man, now you put me on the spot.
I used to play that one when I was in
music radio, played when it was new. I can hit
that post in three notes. All right, I want to
be rich was b calloway. Red's keeping an eye on
the content, which, by the way, he just showed me
an example during the break. You know, we were taking
(17:37):
the laziness of the American people, the ignorance, but okay,
and I don't have a lot of tolerance for ignorance,
but especially bold ignorance. And I use the example of
the person who posted the shutdown is to blame on
the Republicans. They have control of the White House, control
of the House, and the senator there to well, you
need sixty votes and they don't have sixty senators. That's
(17:58):
just ignorant, just lazy.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Google it, ask hell, he'll tell you. I didn't realize.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
The laziness of Kamala Harris's book. They got caught doing
a cut and paste in the book and it got
by all the editors and it's literally you can read it.
And what they did is they took a number that
was a world number and used it as a national number.
But I mean it's like, I mean, we all know
we've abandoned truth and facts for emotion and moral relativism.
(18:33):
But I mean it's getting to the point how facts
they simply just don't matter. Punctuation doesn't matter, accuracy doesn't matter.
It's just I go back to animal house, fat, drunken, stupid.
It's no way to go through. Was that what you
were getting ready to say, because you did that to
me earlier with just going to say that telling you
my father was on the East coast.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
We're brothers.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Thirty seven minutes after the hour, John Decker is our
White House correspondent. I got a text from John because
he likes to flaunt his better life than mine. How
many is this your second or third government shutdown you've covered?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh, there's so many.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
It goes back to nineteen ninety, nineteen ninety five, nineteen
ninety six.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Can we first shut down?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Can I can I tell them this? Can I tell
was that for off air only? No?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You can. You can have that absolutely right.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
So if you go back to when he was covering
the nineteen ninety five shutdown, because the big question every
shutdown is a who's to blame?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And what are they fighting about? And then B how
long is it going to last?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
And you were getting special inside information from a little
operative inside the White House.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
I was, I was someone within the White House who
was a top a to Bill Clinton was helping me
as I was reporting on that first government shutdown back
in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I wouldn't say that person.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I was gonna say it was George Stephanopvlis, who's still
a political operative on every morning, Good Morning to Eric.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But that's the real question, right, how long? How long
is everything?
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That's right. Yesterday JD.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Vance made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room,
and he expressed optimism that it's going to be a
short government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I tend to agree with him.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Actually, you know, based upon what he said yesterday and
also what Senator Schumer said yesterday. He said that there
are bipartisan conversations happening in the Senate between rank and
file senators.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Look, it's when I say short, I mean less than
two weeks.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And that's my hope.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I don't think a government shutdown is in anybody's interest,
especially members of the military who are not getting a
paycheck during this period of time.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They serve our country in uniform.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
They should not have to be victims because of you know,
the politics that's happening in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
As things stand right now, there are no new talks
involving senior Republicans and senior Democrats to resolve this issue.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
You know, we were having a conversation behind your back
before you came on in a sentence, you know, this
whole blame game, and I just said. Red had a
great line, which was, we don't have statesmen anymore, we
have social media influencers. My statement was, this is partisan
political theater over legislative duty.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
How do you look at it? Because this is one
of those things.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
The longer it goes, I can think of a million negatives.
You don't want people looking at how big the federal
government has gotten or how dependent we've gotten on it.
You don't want to give the president a chance to
make some of these temporary furloughs permanent layoffs. I mean,
there's a lot of things about this that get more
and more increasingly problematic. Plus I'm looking at at least
(21:42):
five to seven Democrats who are dying the cave already,
many of which approved the same you know, basic makeup
of a deal in March. So yeah, I think everything
points to two weeks or less.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, I think that's right. Hopefully that is correct.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You know, so far there are three senators who vote
with Democrats, who voted alongside every Republican in the Senate,
and the real actions of the Senate. We know that
because you need sixty votes to move that legislation forward.
As it relates to the House, you just need a
simple majority. So all the actions on the Senate side,
three senators that caucus with Democrats have voted with Republicans,
(22:20):
and JD. Van said yesterday the Vice President said yesterday
that he believes that other Democrats will eventually come on
board and agree to this continuing resolution which would fund
the government through November the twenty first, and that would
mean kicking the can down the road to that point,
and then we'd around the twentieth, we'd have the same
issue once again. But at least if that happens, if
(22:43):
all of that happens, at least we'd see the government reopen.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yeah, and everybody's like, you know, panicked. For me, the
panic is, why don't we have a zero based prioritize
balance budget. Maybe it coincides with the two years of
the legislative session. That would be the boy that doesn't
even come up anymore. And believe it or not, after
all this, we could be right back here just in
(23:07):
time for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Don't you love your job? That's what you actually do.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
I do I do? You know. I don't like to
report this story because it does impact families. It does
impact usn't mention you know, there's military families in particular,
so they're real people that are being hurt by this
government shut down. And I think lawmakers from all over
the country that are Republicans and Democrats, some are independent,
they need to realize that, you know, their people. Their
constituents sent them to Washington to do a simple job,
(23:37):
you know, to have government functioning, and they just need
to meet that that that goal that that their constituents
depend on them for every day.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I know a lot of people on talk radio appointing
at the left to blame for this, and I understand
that take on it, But by and large, I want
everyone to feel a sense their job is to fund
government at the end of the day. For whoever is
acting up to fail to do that is on all
of them, Republicans and Democrats. Putting partisan theater above their
(24:08):
duty to fund government is an admitted failure on both
sides and part of the problem in America today. You
can hear more from John during the White House Briefing Room.
It'll be coming up in his podcast at nine eastern.
That will drop and you'll find it on the iHeartRadio app.
And when you do, go ahead and give it a
little preferred button status like you've done your morning show
(24:31):
that way, you know, write how to get it every morning.
Thanks John so much. All right, this shouldn't this should
not be surprising to anyone. I will tell you I
couldn't possibly know all the details of just how cognitively
impaired Joe Biden is.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I got the bits and pieces.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I could see the walk, I could watch the stammer,
I could see the misspeaks. I do remember him using
little note cards at news conferences, and there was one
news conference in particular where I remember they got a
shot of it and then you know, it was all
blown up and all over the internet the next day,
and he clearly had names and pictures. Now, when you're
(25:16):
a president and people like John Decker are covering you
every day, I know there might be thirty or forty
of them, but you ought to be pretty familiar with everybody,
and if you're not, necessarily you just point at him.
So there's a whole other conversation about how a president.
(25:36):
I know Obama did it, I know Biden did it.
I don't necessarily see Trump doing it. Trump knows everybody's
name and he's usually criticizing them. But where they pick
and choose who can ask a question, because that's your
access to the president and access to accountability for a president.
And in the Obama era, that was the first time
where they chose who got to ask a question and
(25:58):
who didn't. And if you ever asked a challenge question
or a gotcha question. You never got called on again.
That was very troubling as a trend. But we do
know from that one that he had pictures. What we
didn't know and now know from unearthed note cards from
the Biden era, the administration detailed the names along with photographs,
(26:19):
even of high profile Democrats like the former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton. Now he was the vice president of
the United States. He was a senator with Hillary Clinton,
and then he was vice president when she was Secretary
of State, and he needed a picture and a name.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I mean that level.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
This guy was president of the United States and he
needed a note card with Hillary Clinton's name and picture
to know who she was. I mean, that's a startling
level of cognitive inability. It's another proof you had a
fake presidency for four years. Five different palm cards, these
(27:06):
are hand sized note cards publicly used by politicians for
quick reminders or talking points during a public event, especially
while on the campaign trail, were uncovered amid an investigation
of the National archived documents related to the Biden administration
involved with the use of the auto pad. Fox Digital
gets a hold of it. Four of the five cards
(27:26):
obtained by Fox Digital are stamped with a disclaimer reading
President has seen while a fifth card detailing an ABC
News reporter's question to Biden during a press conference did
not include that stamp. Clinton was among a handful of
Americans who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest
civilian honor in the United States, in the waiting days
(27:49):
of administration. One of the palm cards obtained says Presidential
Medal of Freedom recipients, and had a picture of Hillary,
a brief bio and her name, and even had a
reminder that she was Secretary of State in the Obama
Biden administration. A note card was also included with a
(28:12):
photo in the name of Denzel Washington, who also received
a prestigious award in January, and the note described him
as an actor, director, producer, whom The New York Times
called one of the greatest actors of the twenty first century. Arguably, so,
(28:33):
the question of the day is how cognitively impaired was
President Biden? Never mind auto pen Now with these notes,
who was the President of the United States?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
And will we ever know?
Speaker 7 (28:46):
This?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Has probably Read's favorite story.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
The family of Thomas Jacob Sandford and he just can't
imagine being put in that position. My son puts me
in that position all the time. He goes, Dad, what
would you do if I was the shooter? But the
shooter who killed four people in that attack on a
church in Michigan says they've been overwhelmed with gratitude for
(29:12):
the outpouring of love and support they receive from members
of the faith their family member targeted.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I mean, think about that.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I mean, everybody wanted to make a big deal out
of Erica Kirk and forgiving the shooter. Well, here's one
for this church, and they're reaching out to the family
in love. Could have easily hated him for the actions
of their son. As of Wednesday evening, members of the
(29:40):
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints have collectively
raised more than two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
for Sanford's widow and son. I mean, this is now
I would ask you, is this not as big of
a story as Erica Kirk because it's the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, But it is still
(30:01):
an amazing story of love. And again this goes back
to a theme that we discussed. You don't fight hate
with retaliating hate. You fight it with love. You don't
fight evil with evil, you fight it with good. This
is a great example of that. Red's right one of
(30:22):
our stories of the day. Imagine they could be raising
money to rebuild that church. They've raised money for the
shooter's wife and children. It's an amazing story of forgiveness.
Forty nine minutes after the hour. Doctors call it weight cycling.
You might call it yo yoing. Half of Americans do it,
(30:44):
and if you do it enough, you're at risk of diabetes,
liver damage, heart attack, even stroke. Weight cycling is when
you lose ten pounds, then you gain it all back,
then you lose it again and gain it back in
a few more. It puts tremendous strain on your organs
and it leads to serious health issues. That the seriousness
of this story now here something is the fun part.
(31:05):
People need help to stop weight cycling, and I found
a great way, and you can find a great way.
It's non prescription Lean. It was created by doctors. Lean
is an oral supplement, not a GLP injectable, and the
science is impressive. The studied ingredients target weight loss in
three powerful ways you take Lean, It'll help you maintain
healthy blood sugar, it'll help you control your appetite and cravings,
(31:27):
and it helps you burn fat by converting it to energy.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Let me tell you something. It feels great.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
You won't eat coffee, you won't eat red bull and
burning fat of course, keeps the weight off and stops
the yo yo ing, stops the weight cycling. If you
want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and
keep it off, add Lean to your diet and exercise
lifestyle and get twenty percent off when you enter the

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Here's a stat that will blow your mind. I mentioned
earlier what one side is more to blame than others.
But if they were to approve the Democrats plan, it
would add one point five trillion dollars and read that
would only be what for thirty six days, for seven
weeks or seven weeks A little bit more than that's
six six weeks. I think one point five trillion for
(32:26):
six and a half weeks. I remember when one point
five trillion was the total spending in the year two thousand.
I mean, this is just insane, out of control spending.
And it's not keeping the Vice President silent, that's for sure.
He's calling out Democrats over the government shutdown.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
He made an appearance during Wednesday's White House Press briefing.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
They said to us, we will open the government, but
only if you give billions of dollars of funding for
healthcare for illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's a ridiculous proposition.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
The critical needs for the country are being held hostage
by Democrats with the lockdown.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
A partial shutdown began when Democrats and Republicans could not
reach a.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Deal to keep the government funded by Marketaefield.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
The Trump administration is delaying a one hundred percent tariff
that it threatened to impose on drug makers.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Tammy Trihio has that story.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
Last week, the President took the truth social and announced
the administration when enforced the tariff unless a drug maker
is in the process of building a manufacturing plant in
the US. While the tariff is currently delayed, a White
House official has emphasized the president's commitment to lowering drug prices.
Officials say the new tax is still being prepared as
the administration engages in negotiations with pharmaceutical companies. I'm Tammy

Speaker 5 (33:40):
Agents are set to attend the twenty twenty six Super Bowl.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
It follows the announcement that Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny
is set to headline the halftime show. Department of Homeland
Security advisor Corey Lewandowski said that there is nowhere you
can provide safe haven to people in this country illegally.
Last month, Bad Bunny told id Azing he's not performing
in the US during his forthcoming world tour due too
(34:03):
in part, concerns over ice rays at his concerts.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I'm Jim Roup America might finally unite behind Ice.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
If it gets Bad Bunny to back out so we
can get a real halftime show.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
My kids call it a bad vibe. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
There's something about Charlie Brown. It was always kind of
a sad, bad vibe for me. So I never really
saw but maybe one or two. But Charlie Brown, Snoopy,
the rest of the Peanuts gang, they're all sticking around
at Apple TV. Plus Matt Mattinson has the story.
Speaker 9 (34:34):
The streamer announced Wednesday that it extended the deal to
be the exclusive streaming home of Peanuts content through twenty
thirty that includes new material as well as classics like
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and a Charlie Brown Christmas,
among others. Apple TV Plus notes that non subscribers will
also have a chance to see holiday specials for free
on select dates. This comes as Thursday marks the seventy
(34:56):
fifth anniversary of the first Peanuts comic strip to be printed.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm at Mattinson.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Delta Airlines and shapewear brand Spandex they're joining forces on
a travelwear collection.
Speaker 10 (35:07):
Delta's chief marketing officer says the joint partnership will create
clothes designed for travelers who love to explore the world
in style. Delta is celebrating it's one hundredth anniversary this year,
and the debut of the clothing line comes as the
company tries to market itself as a lifestyle brand, not
just an airline. Spanks turns twenty five this year. The
collection's onzale now in the online Delta shop. I'm Tammy trihio.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Oh, I just can't wait.

Leader Hakeem Jeffrey says, I haven't heard from the President
since Monday. And the Dodgers advance, uh sweeping the Red
(02:00):
They will play the Phillies on Saturday. All other wild
Card games they had wins and forced a game three,
so we'll have three game threes in the Wildcard.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Today.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Elon Musk, who by the way, becomes the.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
First five hundred billion dollar.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Man, putting Lee Majors to shame wants to add to
the matrix by having grok Apedia to compete with wik Apedia.
Your Morning Show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with
the story. Good morning Rory, Yeah, Good morning Michael.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Well, it's because the allegation is there's Wokipedia, essentially that
Wikipedia doesn't allow conservative voices or conservative input on their website,
and so frustrated by it that Elon Musk says he's
going to use his AI grock in order to develop
groka Pedia.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Now we don't have a timeline on this yet, but I.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Musk essentially believe that by allowing the computer to do it,
you won't get all those pesky human interactions that can
skew some of the Wikipedia information to the left.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So I use chat GPT.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I don't know what the one is that naturally gets
used when you're in Google or on the iPhone, because
I noticed that one has an AI that kicks in
on my phone. I don't know what that one is.
I you know, I would have to say early on.
You know, I mean that there are some wikipedias that
are skewed. Most are okay, I haven't noticed a lot
(03:38):
although AI should be gathering from.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
All of that.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
So you could make a case that with Grockipedia out there,
with Wikipedia, it could ultimately influence AI because AI only
knows everything that's out there. But AI seems to make
I'm not having very many AIS that come back at
me as skewed biased at all.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Well, and that's what Musk is relying on, right, But
his Rock had a few issues that roll out some set.
It was anti Semitic stuff was getting too much in
the mix there, but they said they had to addressed
that problem after launch. But yeah, I think Musk says
that he can create an alternative here. A question is,
you know, will there be any public input like we
(04:20):
see in Wikipedia, will there be ads allowed? And how
does that shift things as well? So yeah, there's still
lots of open questions, as Musk is essentially just putting
this up as a trial balloon, so far rory.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
How much of this is the concept of Wikipedia, which
was that the public would do it and then somebody
would kind of oversee it so that not just anybody
can enter something inaccurate, and then it just got so big.
Who could possibly police that?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well? I think that's essentially that is what's happened.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
And you know, there are several hundred employees in Wikipedia,
but obviously there's so much information there. And you know,
when you used to put something in Google, oftentimes Wikipedia
was the first reference, right that it would make the
first suggestions.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
When is Dolly Parton's birthday? First thing comes up as
Wikipedia link to Dolly Parton.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
But now with Google doing its own AI, typically now
you just see that little summary first that's been generated
by Google's AI. And now we're not clicking through the
articles anymore. And that's all different business discussion. But the
fact that now you're not even making that extra click
is even upsetting things with Wikipedia.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So now we'll have entered into the matrix Grokipedia with Wikipedia.
Depending on which one you go, we could potentially have
two different definitions for the same board. And that'll help
America get along even better, won't it? All Right, we'll
have more with drawer in the third hour, we're gonna
talk about the partial shutdown. I was gonna give you
an example. David Sanati's joining us our senior contributor. He's
(05:47):
also the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable in the
host of the Public Square, A Grokipedia, like x to
compete with all the other social media now Grockipedia to
compete with Wikipedia. I mean, this all just builds on
the matrix, doesn't it. Well, if it works, I don't
think most people will necessarily switch.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Most people don't realize that the single most visited website
on a daily basis in the world is Wikipedia. So
what's to be worried about in regards to bias there?
For example, if you look up Alexander Soros, the topic
of yesterday's conversation that we had together, you will find
he is to fined in Britannica and Wikipedia and on
(06:31):
most AI sites simply as an investor in philanthropist. Okay, okay,
So tell me about the propaganda.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, at some point understanding AI if for no other reason,
if you have Grockipedia out there, won't that feed the
AI brain? In other words, by giving the other side,
you'll get both sides.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
Well, I don't know, Michael, I honestly don't. Not only
do I not know, I'm not sure that I've heard
anyone else who can answer that question at this point
in time. Because the old primitive now abused statement of
garbage and garbage out the artificial intelligence is only going
(07:19):
to draw from what is previously existing data, and now
some people believe it will become sentient and somehow make
up its own data. A little unimpressed by that theory
at this stage in the game, but I'm not the
world's greatest expert on zeros and ones in regards to
digital coding and what it has the capacity to learn
and go forward with. But right now we've only got
(07:41):
what's out there. And so for those of us that
do not participate in the social media matrix as much
as possible, we are either going to be ignored, which
might be our hope, or we are going to be
victimized without defense.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
In theory, if X was the one thing we talked,
what the left didn't count on Donald Trump being the
biggest JFK. JFK and Donald Trump, I think, are the
two presidents that were never supposed to be. One got assassinated,
one was attempted to be assassinated twice and only missed
by a centimeter once. The other thing they didn't count
on was Elon Muskin X. I mean, those are two
(08:17):
variable factors that are working against them. In theory, it
can Grockipedia be what x has become in leveling the
playing field online potentially in theory.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Yes, but we have if we start with fifty billion dollars,
I think we can get there.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, I think it's well, he's got five hundred billions.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
I'm sorry I messed that up.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
She was he's the five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
That's me saying the primary name for Google AI is Gemini.
All right, right on target. He's got us right where
we need to be. Yeah, if you got five hundred
billion dollars, what's a ten percent contribution to displace the
world's largest website.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
So today, but we're going to discuss who's to blame
for the shutdown?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, in one sentence, how would you answer that? Or so?
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And then I'll show you what chat GPT did and
we can compare how AI is doing with reality.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Well, in a sentence, I would change it from who
to what's the blame? And what's the blame is human stupidity.
This doesn't work, It never has worked. And for people
who forgot what it means to crack a book and
study history, it's this kind of rabid, blatant, irresponsible partisanship
(09:37):
and attempting to use every issue to leverage emotional response
from the electorate to pre set up the next set
of congressional elections. That is perilously dangerous in our country
right now. The mask of the shutdown is over a
question of healthcare benefits in the Obamacare system. Yet I'll
(10:00):
virtually guarantee you, Michael, that no one who voted, or
maybe who's even seated in this United States Congress today
has read Obamacare. They don't even know what they're talking about.
I had some time to prethink it. That's a great answer,
by the way, but it's a political theater over legislative duty.
(10:20):
What was my short You remember I used to give
me those quizzes on the golf course doing one sentence.
That would be my one sentence, Right, So I go
through chat GPT and it starts with the party in control.
But then it comes and it explains with the filibuster,
you need sixty and they don't have sixty in the Senate,
which I thought was very impressive that it did that.
(10:41):
It talked about what a president can do in terms
of a bully pulpit and negotiate. It talked about the
political strategy and blame setting and how that is done.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Both parties often leverage shutdowns as bargaining tools and political things.
They actually use the words political theater. Each side is
actively trying to frame the narrative in a way that
places blame on the other, and then it goes into
and David it basically calls the public without saying it ignorant.
Polls suggest more voters blame Republicans for shutdowns, especially because
(11:19):
they hold unified control of government, and a Washington Post poll,
for instance, more respondents blaming President Trump and Republicans and
congressional leaders. Still a significant share of voters say both
parties share responsibility. My assessment shared blame, but heavier on
the majority. So it starts to actually say my assessment.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Yes, it gets into think it personalized itself. My it
now claims.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Personally even though unborn children can't.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Yes that parts well, by the way, that did you, guys,
see what he just said. He just threw that into
the question of unborn sop. This brain is genuinely fired
up this morning, guys.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I was getting ready to go into jim nance for
ten minutes wow, inspired by a phone call from Forrest
Gump earlier. But yeah, my assessment, my shared blame, but
heavier on the majority.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Okay, so let's say that my is wrong. Can I
litigate mine in court? Can I take chet GTP into
court for slander or libel?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
But you know, but what I what I what I
was going to point out was, didn't you want to
point my to previous paragraphs? Because his assessment doesn't match
the way he laid it out.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
So hey, I just.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Call him his well, whatever he is.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I don't know who it is.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
It's just chat GPT, it's an it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It's zeros in one, it's Hell. It's Hell, Yeah, no, Hell,
what Look.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
How well Hell laid it all out? And then it
comes to conclusion. So you know, you gotta in other words,
you gotta police everything. You know, what's the toughest question
for me to answer anywhere down to one minute till
we come back. But when somebody says, well, what do
you read? Well, it's it sucks being us. We have
to read everything. I read left, I read right, I
read middle. That's how at the end of the day,
(13:11):
ninety percent of what I read never comes on the air.
But you know, somebody goes, give me five sources I
can trust. Every day don't you hate when people say that,
because even the most trusted sources, even Hal who was
doing so good for six paragraphs, you know, dismounts with
personhood and gives his assessment.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So you really just can't.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I mean it's almost there's really nothing you can trust
other than at the end of the day, the knowledge
you've accumulated and the discernment God has given you. I
don't know why else to say this, but yeah, here
comes Grock to go with Wikipedia.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
All Right, we're gonna put the finger pointing blame and
resolution when we come.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Back, right, Yeah, who's to blame for the shutdown? And
from a historic perspective, from a budgeting history perspective, and
a duty of the legislative branch of government, we.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Know what ai? He said.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
His final analysis is what is David sinais?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
How can we dog it's not a real voice. This
box just interprets signals from the computer and turns them
into sound.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Shall we blame Ali Sheedy and Matthew Broderick in War Games?
Speaker 5 (14:25):
It's just as David said, it's just a bunch of
numbers that they create a voice out of but chet
GPT my final analysis claiming personhood. All right, twenty seven
minutes after the our federal government, day two of the shutdown,
Dodgers advanced to take the Phillies on Saturday. All other
three wild card games go to an all deciding, winner
take all game later today, and Ice agents will attend
(14:46):
the Super Bowl. Maybe that'll change bad Bunny's mind and
we can get a real act, all right, David bottom line,
who's to blame for the shutdown? From a historical budgeting
and duty of the legislative branch in Congress?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Who's to blame? Well?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Howif thus open up that thing called the Constitution. Those
seven articles will talk to us about what our federal
government is supposed to look like, how it's supposed to operate.
And we see that article one is the United States Congress.
The Federalist papers to find the Congress as the most
powerful branch of government. We do not have three co
equal branches. We have one. That is what the founders
(15:23):
called the vortex of power. When those people are on
perpetual vacation, seeking primarily to keep their jobs and their
parties in power, our nation suffers. And it's very dangerous
when Congress becomes radically factionalized. That's what happened in the
eighteen fifties. That's what gave us a civil war. One
(15:44):
of the reasons that we had a civil war.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Most of what you hear them doing in public both
sides should be done in a closed room and resolved. No,
they'll resolve this the way they always have to out
of duty. But they'll leave us all divide. That's the
partisan game, and that's a dangerous game.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
That small room ought to be a confessional.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
David Zanati, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host of
The Public Square, heard on two hundred stations nationwide. Thank
you for your contributions this week. Yeah, we'll go ahead
and I will decide for everyone. They are all to blame.
It is political theater over legislative duty. They should all
be ashamed of themselves. One sid a little worse than
(16:29):
the other.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Hi, my name is Bern Aaron, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm Michael del Jorno and your Morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on Great stations like six
point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or akrons News Talk
six forty w HLO and AKRON, Ohio and Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. I'd love to be a
part of your morning routine. But we're glad you're here now,
(17:07):
enjoyed the podcast, humbled and honored to serve you. I'm
Michael Jeffrey's got the sound. Nice one with the whispers
was the another one, whispers, I want to be rich?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Was oh man, now you put me on the spot.
I used to play that one when I was in
music radio, played when it was new. I can hit
that post in three notes. All right, I want to
be rich was b calloway. Red's keeping an eye on
the content, which, by the way, he just showed me
an example during the break. You know, we were taking
(17:37):
the laziness of the American people, the ignorance, but okay,
and I don't have a lot of tolerance for ignorance,
but especially bold ignorance. And I use the example of
the person who posted the shutdown is to blame on
the Republicans. They have control of the White House, control
of the House, and the senator there to well, you
need sixty votes and they don't have sixty senators. That's
(17:58):
just ignorant, just lazy.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Google it, ask hell, he'll tell you. I didn't realize.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
The laziness of Kamala Harris's book. They got caught doing
a cut and paste in the book and it got
by all the editors and it's literally you can read it.
And what they did is they took a number that
was a world number and used it as a national number.
But I mean it's like, I mean, we all know
we've abandoned truth and facts for emotion and moral relativism.
(18:33):
But I mean it's getting to the point how facts
they simply just don't matter. Punctuation doesn't matter, accuracy doesn't matter.
It's just I go back to animal house, fat, drunken, stupid.
It's no way to go through. Was that what you
were getting ready to say, because you did that to
me earlier with just going to say that telling you
my father was on the East coast.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
We're brothers.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Thirty seven minutes after the hour, John Decker is our
White House correspondent. I got a text from John because
he likes to flaunt his better life than mine. How
many is this your second or third government shutdown you've covered?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh, there's so many.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
It goes back to nineteen ninety, nineteen ninety five, nineteen
ninety six.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Can we first shut down?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Can I can I tell them this? Can I tell
was that for off air only? No?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You can. You can have that absolutely right.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
So if you go back to when he was covering
the nineteen ninety five shutdown, because the big question every
shutdown is a who's to blame?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And what are they fighting about? And then B how
long is it going to last?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
And you were getting special inside information from a little
operative inside the White House.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
I was, I was someone within the White House who
was a top a to Bill Clinton was helping me
as I was reporting on that first government shutdown back
in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I wouldn't say that person.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I was gonna say it was George Stephanopvlis, who's still
a political operative on every morning, Good Morning to Eric.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But that's the real question, right, how long? How long
is everything?
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That's right. Yesterday JD.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Vance made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room,
and he expressed optimism that it's going to be a
short government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I tend to agree with him.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Actually, you know, based upon what he said yesterday and
also what Senator Schumer said yesterday. He said that there
are bipartisan conversations happening in the Senate between rank and
file senators.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Look, it's when I say short, I mean less than
two weeks.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And that's my hope.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I don't think a government shutdown is in anybody's interest,
especially members of the military who are not getting a
paycheck during this period of time.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They serve our country in uniform.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
They should not have to be victims because of you know,
the politics that's happening in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
As things stand right now, there are no new talks
involving senior Republicans and senior Democrats to resolve this issue.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
You know, we were having a conversation behind your back
before you came on in a sentence, you know, this
whole blame game, and I just said. Red had a
great line, which was, we don't have statesmen anymore, we
have social media influencers. My statement was, this is partisan
political theater over legislative duty.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
How do you look at it? Because this is one
of those things.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
The longer it goes, I can think of a million negatives.
You don't want people looking at how big the federal
government has gotten or how dependent we've gotten on it.
You don't want to give the president a chance to
make some of these temporary furloughs permanent layoffs. I mean,
there's a lot of things about this that get more
and more increasingly problematic. Plus I'm looking at at least
(21:42):
five to seven Democrats who are dying the cave already,
many of which approved the same you know, basic makeup
of a deal in March. So yeah, I think everything
points to two weeks or less.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, I think that's right. Hopefully that is correct.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You know, so far there are three senators who vote
with Democrats, who voted alongside every Republican in the Senate,
and the real actions of the Senate. We know that
because you need sixty votes to move that legislation forward.
As it relates to the House, you just need a
simple majority. So all the actions on the Senate side,
three senators that caucus with Democrats have voted with Republicans,
(22:20):
and JD. Van said yesterday the Vice President said yesterday
that he believes that other Democrats will eventually come on
board and agree to this continuing resolution which would fund
the government through November the twenty first, and that would
mean kicking the can down the road to that point,
and then we'd around the twentieth, we'd have the same
issue once again. But at least if that happens, if
(22:43):
all of that happens, at least we'd see the government reopen.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yeah, and everybody's like, you know, panicked. For me, the
panic is, why don't we have a zero based prioritize
balance budget. Maybe it coincides with the two years of
the legislative session. That would be the boy that doesn't
even come up anymore. And believe it or not, after
all this, we could be right back here just in
(23:07):
time for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Don't you love your job? That's what you actually do.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
I do I do? You know. I don't like to
report this story because it does impact families. It does
impact usn't mention you know, there's military families in particular,
so they're real people that are being hurt by this
government shut down. And I think lawmakers from all over
the country that are Republicans and Democrats, some are independent,
they need to realize that, you know, their people. Their
constituents sent them to Washington to do a simple job,
(23:37):
you know, to have government functioning, and they just need
to meet that that that goal that that their constituents
depend on them for every day.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I know a lot of people on talk radio appointing
at the left to blame for this, and I understand
that take on it, But by and large, I want
everyone to feel a sense their job is to fund
government at the end of the day. For whoever is
acting up to fail to do that is on all
of them, Republicans and Democrats. Putting partisan theater above their
(24:08):
duty to fund government is an admitted failure on both
sides and part of the problem in America today. You
can hear more from John during the White House Briefing Room.
It'll be coming up in his podcast at nine eastern.
That will drop and you'll find it on the iHeartRadio app.
And when you do, go ahead and give it a
little preferred button status like you've done your morning show
(24:31):
that way, you know, write how to get it every morning.
Thanks John so much. All right, this shouldn't this should
not be surprising to anyone. I will tell you I
couldn't possibly know all the details of just how cognitively
impaired Joe Biden is.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I got the bits and pieces.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I could see the walk, I could watch the stammer,
I could see the misspeaks. I do remember him using
little note cards at news conferences, and there was one
news conference in particular where I remember they got a
shot of it and then you know, it was all
blown up and all over the internet the next day,
and he clearly had names and pictures. Now, when you're
(25:16):
a president and people like John Decker are covering you
every day, I know there might be thirty or forty
of them, but you ought to be pretty familiar with everybody,
and if you're not, necessarily you just point at him.
So there's a whole other conversation about how a president.
(25:36):
I know Obama did it, I know Biden did it.
I don't necessarily see Trump doing it. Trump knows everybody's
name and he's usually criticizing them. But where they pick
and choose who can ask a question, because that's your
access to the president and access to accountability for a president.
And in the Obama era, that was the first time
where they chose who got to ask a question and
(25:58):
who didn't. And if you ever asked a challenge question
or a gotcha question. You never got called on again.
That was very troubling as a trend. But we do
know from that one that he had pictures. What we
didn't know and now know from unearthed note cards from
the Biden era, the administration detailed the names along with photographs,
(26:19):
even of high profile Democrats like the former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton. Now he was the vice president of
the United States. He was a senator with Hillary Clinton,
and then he was vice president when she was Secretary
of State, and he needed a picture and a name.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I mean that level.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
This guy was president of the United States and he
needed a note card with Hillary Clinton's name and picture
to know who she was. I mean, that's a startling
level of cognitive inability. It's another proof you had a
fake presidency for four years. Five different palm cards, these
(27:06):
are hand sized note cards publicly used by politicians for
quick reminders or talking points during a public event, especially
while on the campaign trail, were uncovered amid an investigation
of the National archived documents related to the Biden administration
involved with the use of the auto pad. Fox Digital
gets a hold of it. Four of the five cards
(27:26):
obtained by Fox Digital are stamped with a disclaimer reading
President has seen while a fifth card detailing an ABC
News reporter's question to Biden during a press conference did
not include that stamp. Clinton was among a handful of
Americans who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest
civilian honor in the United States, in the waiting days
(27:49):
of administration. One of the palm cards obtained says Presidential
Medal of Freedom recipients, and had a picture of Hillary,
a brief bio and her name, and even had a
reminder that she was Secretary of State in the Obama
Biden administration. A note card was also included with a
(28:12):
photo in the name of Denzel Washington, who also received
a prestigious award in January, and the note described him
as an actor, director, producer, whom The New York Times
called one of the greatest actors of the twenty first century. Arguably, so,
(28:33):
the question of the day is how cognitively impaired was
President Biden? Never mind auto pen Now with these notes,
who was the President of the United States?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
And will we ever know?
Speaker 7 (28:46):
This?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Has probably Read's favorite story.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
The family of Thomas Jacob Sandford and he just can't
imagine being put in that position. My son puts me
in that position all the time. He goes, Dad, what
would you do if I was the shooter? But the
shooter who killed four people in that attack on a
church in Michigan says they've been overwhelmed with gratitude for
(29:12):
the outpouring of love and support they receive from members
of the faith their family member targeted.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I mean, think about that.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I mean, everybody wanted to make a big deal out
of Erica Kirk and forgiving the shooter. Well, here's one
for this church, and they're reaching out to the family
in love. Could have easily hated him for the actions
of their son. As of Wednesday evening, members of the
(29:40):
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints have collectively
raised more than two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
for Sanford's widow and son. I mean, this is now
I would ask you, is this not as big of
a story as Erica Kirk because it's the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, But it is still
(30:01):
an amazing story of love. And again this goes back
to a theme that we discussed. You don't fight hate
with retaliating hate. You fight it with love. You don't
fight evil with evil, you fight it with good. This
is a great example of that. Red's right one of
(30:22):
our stories of the day. Imagine they could be raising
money to rebuild that church. They've raised money for the
shooter's wife and children. It's an amazing story of forgiveness.
Forty nine minutes after the hour. Doctors call it weight cycling.
You might call it yo yoing. Half of Americans do it,
(30:44):
and if you do it enough, you're at risk of diabetes,
liver damage, heart attack, even stroke. Weight cycling is when
you lose ten pounds, then you gain it all back,
then you lose it again and gain it back in
a few more. It puts tremendous strain on your organs
and it leads to serious health issues. That the seriousness
of this story now here something is the fun part.
(31:05):
People need help to stop weight cycling, and I found
a great way, and you can find a great way.
It's non prescription Lean. It was created by doctors. Lean
is an oral supplement, not a GLP injectable, and the
science is impressive. The studied ingredients target weight loss in
three powerful ways you take Lean, It'll help you maintain
healthy blood sugar, it'll help you control your appetite and cravings,
(31:27):
and it helps you burn fat by converting it to energy.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Let me tell you something. It feels great.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
You won't eat coffee, you won't eat red bull and
burning fat of course, keeps the weight off and stops
the yo yo ing, stops the weight cycling. If you

Your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Here's a stat that will blow your mind. I mentioned
earlier what one side is more to blame than others.
But if they were to approve the Democrats plan, it
would add one point five trillion dollars and read that
would only be what for thirty six days, for seven
weeks or seven weeks A little bit more than that's
six six weeks. I think one point five trillion for
(32:26):
six and a half weeks. I remember when one point
five trillion was the total spending in the year two thousand.
I mean, this is just insane, out of control spending.
And it's not keeping the Vice President silent, that's for sure.
He's calling out Democrats over the government shutdown.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
He made an appearance during Wednesday's White House Press briefing.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
They said to us, we will open the government, but
only if you give billions of dollars of funding for
healthcare for illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's a ridiculous proposition.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
The critical needs for the country are being held hostage
by Democrats with the lockdown.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
A partial shutdown began when Democrats and Republicans could not
reach a.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Deal to keep the government funded by Marketaefield.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
The Trump administration is delaying a one hundred percent tariff
that it threatened to impose on drug makers.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Tammy Trihio has that story.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
Last week, the President took the truth social and announced
the administration when enforced the tariff unless a drug maker
is in the process of building a manufacturing plant in
the US. While the tariff is currently delayed, a White
House official has emphasized the president's commitment to lowering drug prices.
Officials say the new tax is still being prepared as
the administration engages in negotiations with pharmaceutical companies. I'm Tammy

It follows the announcement that Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny
is set to headline the halftime show. Department of Homeland
Security advisor Corey Lewandowski said that there is nowhere you
can provide safe haven to people in this country illegally.
Last month, Bad Bunny told id Azing he's not performing
in the US during his forthcoming world tour due too
(34:03):
in part, concerns over ice rays at his concerts.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I'm Jim Roup America might finally unite behind Ice.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
If it gets Bad Bunny to back out so we
can get a real halftime show.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
My kids call it a bad vibe. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
There's something about Charlie Brown. It was always kind of
a sad, bad vibe for me. So I never really
saw but maybe one or two. But Charlie Brown, Snoopy,
the rest of the Peanuts gang, they're all sticking around
at Apple TV. Plus Matt Mattinson has the story.
Speaker 9 (34:34):
The streamer announced Wednesday that it extended the deal to
be the exclusive streaming home of Peanuts content through twenty
thirty that includes new material as well as classics like
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and a Charlie Brown Christmas,
among others. Apple TV Plus notes that non subscribers will
also have a chance to see holiday specials for free
on select dates. This comes as Thursday marks the seventy
(34:56):
fifth anniversary of the first Peanuts comic strip to be printed.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
