Speaker 2 (00:19):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding it because
we're in this together. This is your Morning Show with
Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Jordan seven minutes after the hour and welcome to Friday, October,
the tenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. We
got a lot to cover, you know. John Decker just
sent me something I think you all are going to
find interesting, because one of the storylines today is going
to be Donald Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize
after all he's done, and then now the peace agreement
with Israel and they're going to give it to Venezuela's
(00:55):
Maria Garda Mujado. John Decker sent me a messag. Do
you know who nominated her? Marco Rubio. Yeah, that is
a twist. We'll talk more about it with the John
Decker next half hour. And I'm thrilled to have Yeah
Yale extein join us from the International Fellowship of christiansen
Jews from Israel momentarily, but first roy o'neils here. Many
(01:17):
conservatives are pushing back on the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.
Why Rory even I was until I heard the threat
of maybe Lee Greenwood replace them?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Lee.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know he's eighty two. Well, I see him all
the time around town. Yeah, he goes to the same
place he gets his hair done where I get mine done.
Only I just get a cut. But anyway, I digress.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
But do you drop yours off to get it done
or no? Okay, no, I don't have a rock r Yeah,
Lee Greenwood is. He says it's a great idea. He
thinks he'd be a great choice. That's what he told
the New York Post. Anyway, Well, then he kept going.
He kept saying, you know, I could come out.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I could sing, uh, you know, God bless the USA.
You know I can I can maybe even sing while
people are walking into the stadium. I could do something
maybe outside the parking lot. It's just like going to
be anywhere.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Uh and uh yeah, Turning Point USA is now putting
together its own halftime show. This almost is like something
the Internet created at first, and then Turning Point USA
is making it a reality.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And there's still soliciting ideas.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
They're pretty wide open to what performer they should have
on their website. There's or survey should our a halftime
show be country, hip hop, rock or quote anything in English?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know what I wish they would do just go
back to a short halftime and let's focus on the
football game. But all right, enough, all right, so but
what so Bad Bunny? Where does that stand up? It
doesn't seem to be any response from the NFL to
any of this pushbacks. So my guess is Bad Bunny
is going to be the halftime show, right, Oh yeah,
(03:00):
that's a that's a lock.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You know, we saw Bad Bunny on Saturday Night Live
this past weekend. You know, he's the number two streaming
artist behind Taylor Swift. And look he's you know, the
advertisers want what he brings, a youthful, diverse audience, and
that's really why he's there.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
All right, So, and I guess the big, the big
rubbing point has been that, you know, a you won't
understand unless you speak Spanish. You're not gonna know what
he's singing the lyrics. That's a problem I don't I'm
having even in English with certain genres. But that seems
to be the main pushback. And then his response, well
on learning then learn English. Well that was you know,
(03:39):
not a good move, but Spanish. All right? So how
would we watch a turning point? We'd have to turn
off the TV, put on the laptop to watch that
halftime or is it going to be on a channel?
Don't know. Yeah, none of that has been set so
there are not any details.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Again, don't know the performers, don't know the platform, whether
it is on a is it on a YouTube.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Page on their website?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Of course, if it's on a website, then what do
we talk about Monday morning?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh the website crashed blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So yeah, some network may stream it, maybe they become
a sponsor in partnership with a network to put it
on on cable or YouTube TV.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, all those details are still coming together, and maybe
they'll eve and produce alternative commercials we can go watch
and vote on There you go. There's an option. No,
I'm done with all of it, you know, play some football,
or I'm going to move on dot Org. We're he's
going to be back with a Nobel Peace price story
for us coming up in the third hour. Yeah, well, Extein,
this is always a thrill whenever we've had one other
(04:35):
chance on your morning show to visit with her. She
is the President Global CEO of the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews, which I have been a supporter of
not long after your dad started it, well about a
decade later. I started being involved in about nineteen ninety two.
And it's always a thrill to talk to you. You know,
it's interesting here in America. Everybody's got an opinion about
(04:56):
a two state solution or about this peace agreement in
phase one versus phase two. Meanwhile, we can't get two
parties to agree on extending a budget that take US
thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and even if they did,
it only lasts for three weeks and we'd be facing
another government shutdown. And I just think it's I think
it's just so important to talk to you inside of
(05:17):
Israel and just to ask you point blank what I
know there's a lot to happen, and we're in phase
one and a lot of steps this weekend have to happen.
But what does this peace steal look like for a
you whose daughter's about to serve in the military. I
would imagine that's the main victory the Jewish people and
for all of Israel.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
And good morning, well, good morning, thank you so much
for having me done. It is a day that I
think all the people here in Israel are just overwhelmed
with hope. Our prayer and our actions have always been
with the goal of bringing us to a day of
peace and brotherhood and having positive relationships with our neighbors,
(06:01):
many of our Arab neighbors, even and we saw that
was possible with the Abraham Accords. That for the past
two years, since October seventh, Israel has been at war
with two goals. Number one, to get our hostages back,
our children, our parents, our grandparents who were taken from
their bed two years ago and has been held in
the tunnels of Gaza being tortured and starved. And number two,
(06:24):
to make sure that an attack like in October seventh
will never be able to happen again. So to see
the Arab world come together under President Trump's leadership and
see what President Trump and Prime Minister Natamya who have
been able to forge a real peace, a real sense
of hope. It's something that I think Jews, Christians, everyone
(06:44):
who stands for the sanctity of life and a desire
for peace, we should be celebrating today.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, I think it's important to point out, you know,
the what you all have lived for two years, not
what people have read about what you have had actually lived,
and that you take these as they go. The enemy
has to say so as we move forward into phase two,
but where we're at today is so much better than
(07:11):
when we were pre attack and pre invasion. In that
has be lah hamas the houthis decimated is Iran Ken
has been really kicked on them. And now we get
these hostages back. That's huge for closure and for peace.
And then you move forward with troop withdrawals, and then
they have a choice. The Palestinian people have a choice
(07:33):
to surround themselves with a coalition that's going to build
a safe place, a prosperous place, a peaceful place, or
they can continue to surround themselves with thugs and engage
in war. And destruction. I can't speak to what they're
going to do, but can we celebrate where we're at.
And that is, whether it's the bodies or the living
(07:55):
children and hostages being returned, that's huge right in and
of itself. That's the hurt you're dealing with every day.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Right. You said it perfectly. I have four children, Thank God,
my oldest is joining Israeli Army, just like every eighteen
year old in Israel. And then another three weeks and
we've been living under rocket attack for two years from
seven different fronts. Israel is the size of New Jersey
and we've had over thirty five thousand rocket attacks on
(08:22):
this tiny land from seven different fronts, all of them
sponsored by Iran. And so what I do on a
day to day basis I feel like lusty person in
the world, is I go down to the places of
rocket hits. I go and meet with the families of
the hostages. I go and meet with the Holocaust survivors
and elderly who are traumatized and wounded. And what I
do is I bring them love and aid and hope
(08:44):
and food that's donated from mostly Christians in America and
around the world that within the darkness. I'm able to
represent millions of people Christians who understand that this is
a spiritual war. This is spiritual war, and there are
two sides, good and bad, those who thankstify life and
those who are chasing death. And I get to see
(09:07):
that message and action on the ground every single day
of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the poor,
and letting this tiny and ancient nation of Israel know
that we're not alone. Despite what it looks like around
the world that so many people hate us, there are
those friends like you, and thank you for being a
friend of the Fellowship for so many years. You have
(09:27):
a platform, you have a voice. You're inspiring so many
people and influencing so many people. But there are millions
like you, the silenced majority, that don't have a platform.
That the International Fellowships Christians and Jews is their voice
in Israel. And for me, that's bringing light to the darkness.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, it's the two covenants together meeting these needs. It's funny,
you know, every time I last time we talked, you
were in and out of bomb shelters, was literally interrupting interviews.
But I always think of there's a saw video one time.
There's this one elderly Jewish man that you provide food for.
I think he lives in close proximity to one of
(10:08):
the kitchens that are often in the midst of cooking,
having to break because bombs are coming. And just to
see these people, they are literally reliant on you for
their meals, and I think of them all the time
and I see their faces because of your videos. What
does this piece deal mean for not just the International
(10:28):
Fellowship of Christians and Jews and how you provide these services,
but for these people too. I mean, are you going
to be exposed now to more access to areas where
you're going to find more need Because there's a lot
of us here at home that can help, and I
think the need is going to grow. I think you're
going to probably discover more.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I would think, thank you so much. Yes, in many
ways this is the rainbow at the end of the storm.
But in many ways our work is just beginning. We
have to go and rebuild.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now is when we can go win and give hope
and bring life and make sure just as the prophecy
of a z cel says that these dry bones will
come back to life, that these cities in Israel that
have been decimated by ongoing rocket attacks for two years,
that they will once again live. And I think what
you're referring to is in Curiat Shmona. The Fellowship has
(11:24):
a soup kitchen that's just less than a mile away
from Lebanon, where Hasbala, of course was, and we had
a direct hit on our soup kitchen from a rocket attack,
and I went there within twenty four hours, and I
made sure that the meals will be produced. They'll continue
to be produced, and that old man that you're referring to,
(11:44):
he won't have to go without food because of that.
But now we're finding more people like that now that
the rockets have stopped, and as we rebuild, every single friend,
every single donation, every single prayer is giving life to
the people of Israel.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Those weekly videos you do, they're so powerful and they're
so informative, and they help keep us far away, very
in touch. I think it's important that we see those
faces and hear those stories, and I thank you for those. Yeah.
Le Exstein is the President Global CEO of the International
Fellowship for Christians and Jews. It actually hit me this
week and sometimes I'm doing an interview for everybody to
(12:19):
listen to, and then sometimes I don't get to talk
to you directly, and I wanted to say this to
you directly. It just hit me, and I was wondering
if you've given any thought to what your dad would
think of this peace plan, what he would have thought
of these last two years as you were living in
What he would have thought about this peace plan right
before his granddaughter enters the service and your dad saw
(12:40):
these cycles. Would he be seeing this in a fresh,
hopeful way for lasting peace or would he see this
as another kicking of the can, Although I'm all for
kicking of the can, even if it's a decade or so,
compared to what you all have lived for the last
two years, how do you think he would be viewing
all this? Do you give that any thought?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I love that question because it's something that I think
about all the time. And my father's the person who
really taught me both to be patient, to be realist,
and to be hopeful. And the first thing above everything
is a sanctity of life. And that I know that
my father would have been celebrating with the full heart
that the hostages are coming home. There's no greater even
(13:25):
biblical mythst but positive commandment than bringing hostages home. Bring
the hostages, what will come next? I agree one hundred
percent with what you said, and I believe that my
father would also every day that we can have quiet,
every day that we can have even if it's a
cold piece, we have to be present in that, thank
God for it, and to continue to work however much
(13:46):
we can to make sure that that brotherhood continues, that
that cold piece turns into a strategic piece, that turns
into a warm piece and a real piece. And as
we've seen, especially in the Middle East throughout the world
in the past ten years, a lot can change in
a day.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, your dad got it, and I know you get it.
You're a little bit more like me. I study the
contradictory life of Mohammad. I'm familiar with proxy terrorist organizations
and the countries they originate from. I know who the
enemy is, I know the game they play, and so
I struggle with the part that your dad was able
(14:24):
to do, and I suspect you do as well. I'm
very grateful and I stay in the moment. For right now,
the Israeli government approved it. For right now, hostages will
be returned. I probably won't celebrate until Hamas follows through
and does. And then if we get to withdrawing troops
to a certain designated line, that's great. And then in
(14:44):
terms of moving forward, I have to just say it.
I don't know that I feel it, but that hope
because it almost feels naive. But your dad had it.
He had the whole mix, and I think that's how
we have to live. But I understand the enemy, and
I know the enemy has to say, and I know
the games they play, and it's really hard to think
(15:05):
of peace for all time. But I'll take peace for
the moment after the hell you've lived for two years.
That's kind of where I'm at. Where are you?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yes, I am exactly where you are. I can keep
on repeating this biblical verse that says, Yeshuah redemption from
the Lord can come in the blink of an eye,
And so we have to continue to stand on guard.
We have to continue to be very alert. We have
to continue to call evil evil. We have to continue
to look at the darkness in the eye, not turn
(15:37):
away from it and think this is bad, this is evil.
But if all we're doing is having that righteous anger
then we're not bringing light to the world. And I
believe that as people of badly use, as people of faith,
we're called to bring light that within the hesitation of
this deal, where so many terrorists are being released for
(15:59):
innocent hostages, where we don't know if Hamas is going
to disarm, disarm yeah, international, Yeah, nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
About tomorrow that looks as good as just nothing. What
were you? But I will say this, I'm not surprised
what Iron's doing. I'm not surprised what has Blahamas is
doing or the who Thi's are doing. I'm not surprised
that Israel is able to defend itself and protect its people.
I am surprised at some of the growing anti Semitism
here at home. And I encourage people to understand their Bible,
(16:28):
understand the Covenant, what we accomplished together every day with
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and go online
and see how you can help, because the needs going
to be greater than ever. And I'm up against a heartbreak.
But I love you, sister very much, and I pray
for you daily.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Love you, my brother, Thank you so much, God bless you.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You got it. Yell exteam with the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews. All right, did you know the best

market and it's just begun. Central banks are buying gold
to protect against the falling dollar and silver it's powering
the future, skyrocketing demand for solar evs AI. Silver's the

Speaker 6 (17:45):
Missus Patrick from Christiana, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
My morning show is your Morning show with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard weekday mornings
in great city. It's like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee. And we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. We're thrilled you
here now enjoy the podcast. It's not often that I'm
ever jealous of television, but the view of the gates
(18:18):
have been opened and a sea of people walking along
the sea returning to the gaza is quite the accomplishment.
The Israeli government has ratified the peace plan and cease fire.
Now this weekend's about hostage exchange and then troop withdrawals
(18:38):
as we head towards phase two of the peace process. Now,
there's gonna be a lot of talk about Donald Trump
not getting the Nobel Peace Prize. And the really awful
thing is the poor person who did Maria Corina Mujado,
who really represents a lot of great things, and so
she was nominated by Marco Rubio so she deserves it,
and she got it Trump did. Who cares? We got
(19:02):
a long way to go and we're about peace and
prosperity and strength. Can I get Donna in real quick
before we go to Decker?
Speaker 7 (19:08):
I kind of think that this lady in Venezuela winning
the Nobel Prize is a good thing because she's highlighting
the overall negatives of socialism and supposed free stuff, leaving
her people to live in squalor.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
What do you think? Yeah, I think there's a lot
of people that are going to be angry Donald Trump
didn't get it. They're going to be pointing at the
Nobel and discrediting it and saying it was a snub,
and then we're going to lose her amazing story in
it and nominated by Marco Rubio. John Decker's here from
our White House correspondent, And yeah, I don't know what
the thinking was. I'm guessing and you can fill me in.
(19:52):
This all happened too close to the announcement. We want
to see how phase two goes compared to Phase one,
and of course ignores a lot of other accomplishments the
president has had. There is no conversation to compare what
Obama got one for and what they seem to be
waiting for. But Trump can get his in January, and
I suspect we're all going to miss the story of
(20:13):
Maria Karina Machada because of the controversy, and that's a shame.
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
I'm familiar with the recipient of this year's Nobel Peace
Prize because she received a similar type of award from
the McCain Institute, and that was in May. I was
there when she received that award. And her daughter, who
will likely accept the award on her mother's behalf, is
a remarkable person. So let's not in any way diminish
(20:41):
the accomplishments of this remarkable person. It's also important to
remember as you speak about this year's winner of the
Nobel Peace Prize, to talk about the deadline for nominations
for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, it was February, the first,
February the first, So a lot of what the president
has accomplished in terms of its initiatives happen after that date,
(21:02):
after the closing date for this year's nominations, and so
that means that next year is certainly an opportunity for
the President to win the Nobel Peace Prize, particularly if
we see movement in terms of peace in the Middle
East beyond what we see announced on Wednesday, and also
potentially the end of the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
So that's nothing to keep online as well, John, that
is so huge. Hey, I don't think we should miss
Karrena's story, obviously, and I've made that crystal clear. And
then b I understand that it's going to strike people odd,
but you could almost make a case, you know, January
will get here, and that is not only probably now.
If they don't in January, then you got the argument
(21:43):
that I think most people are going to hear today,
but January may be the appropriate time to do that.
Let's talk about do you think the president. I am
thoroughly convinced. I mean, I think the president with like
a Nobel Peace Prize, kind of like he's hanging the
picture of the auto pen. But deep down I think
he really cares about the I think Donald Trump the landman,
(22:05):
looks at the same sea I'm looking at and all
of the destruction and sees what a waste of land.
There ought to be beautiful buildings, beautiful parks. This ought
to be a great place to live and raise a family.
It should be prosperous, filled with business and opportunity. I
think that's the stuff that drives him. He wants the
death stopped, he wants the peace begun, and he wants
the prosperity to begin.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Well, you asked me the question, does he care about
the Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And he does.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
I broke the news in the President's first term that
he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. It made
news worldwide, and the President granted me one on one
television interview after I broke that news. It matters a
lot to him, there is no doubt about it. He
feels that he's accomplished a lot in terms of his
first eight nine months in office. We heard what he
(22:54):
said at the UN General Assembly in that regard, and
I believe the President.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Will get his day.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
He will be become the fourth American president to receive
the Nobel Peace prizet.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It just won't be this year. It better be January,
or my tone's going to change greatly, all right? Is
he headed to Egypt? Is he headed to Israel? Where
do things stand?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Well?
Speaker 8 (23:14):
It seems as if he's going to be heading to
Egypt to put his signature on this peace deal, which
was consummated Wednesday of this week. The President indicated that
he'll travel and leave the White House on Sunday, which
means arrival on Monday, and hopefully that's also when the
President will witness the return of those twenty Israeli hostages,
(23:35):
the returns of the remains of those twenty eight Israelis
who are killed while in the custody of Hama. So, yes,
the President is traveling to the region in the next
few days.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I don't make this distinction because all life is sacred,
all life is precious, and all hostages are important. But
for those that might be curious, I think there are
two American hostages that we think are still alive. I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
If that's the case, then you know there are two
Americans that must come home and must be reunited with
your families. And if it's just remained, the same thing
to give comfort to those families.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
John Decker as always great reporting, Have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
We'll talk next week, all right. So yeah, I mean
I didn't mean to suggest that. I think I think
the president's busy being president. If you look at these deadlines.
You know, I do think it's reasonable say it be
a shame to miss Maria Karina Machado's story. I'm trying.
(24:40):
I'm looking over the I'm distracted red because I'm looking
over you know, Serbia, Kosovo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Thailand, Cambodia. That
one was huge, Pakistan and India. I'm almost convinced that
Pakistan India was before that February deadline. Let's think, let's
think about when he started. I mean, is what halfway
(25:01):
through January? Yeah, I mean by the time, the time
by timeline, January's Nobel Peace Prize is the one he
should win, and if he doesn't, then it has no
credibility whatsoever. But I know how the narratives go, and
everybody will jump on that. That's gonna be a big
storyline that Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, and
(25:21):
they'll be very little attention paid to the deadline. There'll
be very little attention paid to the person who did win,
or the appropriateness of January of next year being the
more appropriate time for the president to get that award.
It'll just be a what it'll be, and then the
other big story wait is that?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
No, go ahead. I was going to say, now you
look forward to like maybe time in a Person of
the Year or something like that. Well that should be
you know, I brought up this analogy. I just like
to focus on this. I think this is a very
similar year to nineteen sixty eight, the civil unrest, the
US versus them, shirts versus skins divide, the assassinations. Isn't
(26:02):
this is a bad year and it's either going to
be like nineteen sixty eight and it's going to end
in a healing and we're going to begin a new chapter.
And I explained how we really rushed the moon orbit
mission of Apollo eight, really rushed it very very fortunate
(26:23):
to have those three men return home safely. There was
a lot of uncertainty and it was rushed. But one
of the things that happened by happenstance was when they
came around the dark side of the moon, they happened
to be looking out the window, and that's where we
got our first color photographs later developed and brought home.
(26:45):
I mean we didn't have them instantly, but of what
the Earth looks like from space, because up until then,
Gorman and all of them they were facing the moon,
and that really impacted those astronauts, and they decided and
made the choice to read from Genesis on Christmas Eve
with this view of Earth that looked like the only
(27:08):
thing of life in space. Everything else was black or gray,
and there's this beautiful Earth, and they read the Creation story,
and Houston decided to read them some telegrams, and one
of them happened to be LBJ and notable people. They said,
this last one's not a name you're going to know,
(27:28):
but everybody agreed you should hear this telegram and it
was from a Missus porter. I think it was in Texas.
You saved nineteen sixty eight. I'm still wondering what that
moment is. It's going to save twenty twenty five, It
could be, and I still I still got to see
(27:49):
Hamas turn these hostages over, because really, anything after that
then they're on their own. They can make their choices.
If they can choose. If they continue to choose radical
jihad and proxies of Iran and thug gree they're going
to get what they got coming. But they could choose peace,
and they could choose rebuilding, and they could choose prosperity,
(28:15):
and there's a lot of reasonable Arab and Muslim nations
that will help them do it. It'll be up to them.
And then if the President is able to focus on
Russia and Ukraine and that momentum can lead to peace there,
well then you're looking at save in twenty twenty five,
and that would be a remarkable thing, all right, if
(28:36):
you're just waking up. The ceasefire plan has been agreed
upon by Israel and their cabinet, so the piece begins
and the hostage exchange is to come. Mark Mayfield has
our top story.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ntnyah, who spoke at the cabinet
meeting and thank the US where it's help brokering the deal.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
We could live at you without the extraordinary hope the
President Steve Steve witcom sure.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
The first phase of the US broker deal includes the
release of all remaining hostages in Gaza. It also includes
a conditional Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the release of
some Palestinian prisoners. Meanwhile, there are multiple reports that the
US is planning to set as many as two hundred
troops to Israel to monitor the Seaspare agreement in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I'm Mark Mayfield, New York Attorney General. Letitia James is
responding to being indicted Thursday on mortgage fraud charges. His
charges are baseless.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Letitia James released to video Thursday afternoon, just hours after
grand jury in Virginia indicted her. She blamed President Trump,
who repeatedly called for his political enemies to be prosecuted,
including James, who won a multimillion dollar civil fraud case
last year against Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
His only goal is political retribution.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
Tish was indicted just weeks after former FBI Director James comy.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the President's
desperate weaponization of our justice system. James says she'll fight
the charges vigorously. I'm Sarah Lee Kessler as the president
to fight many charges vigorously. What happened to no one's
(30:07):
above the law? Pedestrian deaths on US roads are at
a record high. We've already connected the dots between marijuana
thhc use and fatalities in automobile accidents. Is there something
going on because all of a sudden, pedestrian death is
(30:27):
at an all time high.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Jim Roop has more.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows more
than seventy three hundred fatalities in twenty twenty three, up
nearly eighty percent since two thousand and nine. The rise
of strongest in the western and southern US, deaths arising
mainly in urban areas while rural numbers are steady. Analysts
explain bigger SUVs and trucks, but deaths from smaller vehicles
(30:49):
are also increasing. Crashes have become more deadly, not more frequent,
indicating changes in vehicle impact or design.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I'm Jim Roop. It's one of my most vivid childhood memories.
I think. I don't know. If they called the Taste
of Chicago, then this would have been in the seventies.
But our dad took us and I remember walking from
a distance, I couldn't see anything, and all of a
sudden I heard the horns and as I arrived, they
were staring right at me, and oh my gosh, it
was Chicago in Chicago, bigger than life. And they're still
(31:19):
at it, and they've already plotted their twenty twenty sixth
tour right very.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
They'll start the year off with a nine show run
in February at the Venetian Theater inside the Venetian Resort,
Las Vegas. The first show is scheduled for February thirteenth.
This marks Chicago's ninth year at the Venetian, making there's
the longest running residency in the venue's history. Tickets for
the newly announced shows go on sale next Thursday. Chicago
has been on the road every year since the group
(31:53):
was founded in the late nineteen sixties by Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Just a little rock and roll band from Chicago with horns. Well, today,
HEDY is National Metric tam Remember when we were all
freight in school. We're gonna have to learn metric. I'm
still celebrating the unit of measurement based on tens that
is used by ninety five percent of the world's population,
but not here. Pre tennis has more.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Today's the tenth day of the tenth month, and officials
thought this celebration of tents would get Americans to finally
embrace the metric system. Although the federal government has been
trying to get us on board since nineteen seventy five
with the Metric Conversion Act, it didn't work. We still
use the US customary units, that's feet, pounds and gallons
instead of the metric meter, kilograms and leaders.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I'm bre tennis and thank god for that. At baseball
the Dodgers, it took eleven innings and then a panic
on the mound on a routine tapper, and the Dodgers
are on their way to the NLCS, defeating the Phillies
and eleven innings two to one. The Phillies go home eliminated.
Phillies lost and have got eliminated. Flyers lost. Thursdayay football,
(32:57):
the Eagles lost on the road of the Giants thirty.
That's a bad day for Philadelphia. Yesterday Cop six nothing
over the brew Crew. That series tied to two games apiece.
Game five coming up tomorrow night in Milwaukee. Winner will
take on the Dodgers. Tigers in Seattle have their Game
five tonight at seven oh eight. The winner will played
(33:18):
the Blue Jays in the ALCS. College football, I don't
know what strikes she was a big game Bama Missouri.
That's eight versus fourteen. That's pretty good. Seven versus three,
Indiana and Oregon, although I think it's gonna be one
side for Oregon. O you Texas, but Texas isn't what
they used to be LSU Carolina, Georgia, Auburn, Michigan, USC Tennessee, Arkansas.
(33:41):
Lots of college football for you this weekend as well.
Actor Mario Lopez is fifty two, Governor Gavin Newsom fifty eight,
Junior race card driver Dale Earnhard Junior is fifty one,
Brett Farr Packer Great fifty six, and the front man
of Van Halen David Lee Roth is seventy one. If
it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you were
born and thanks for making us a part of your
(34:02):
big day.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
You can always email me at Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. Jim writes, Michael, the crew of Apollo eight
took the first photo called earth Rise upon orbiting the Moon,
not Apollo eleven, respectfully, I don't believe I said Apollo eleven.
I thought I said Apollow eight. Yeah. That was Jim Level,
Frank Gorman, and William Andrews. Significant Gorman was one of
(34:28):
the originals. This was his last mission for Apollo almost
in essence, came out of retirement for that mission. Jim
Level of later would be of Apollo thirteen fame. It
was level that it took the actual picture, but yeah,
it really moved them and you can really see how
unique Earth is in this hole. You know, they're staring
(34:50):
at the surface of the Moon and then they're looking
back at Earth. And they decided to read the Genesis story.
Daniel is it? Daniel An even read my own handwriting today.
Daniel is traveling to nine on a talkback Michael.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Apollo eight was rushed because the original mission was to
test the lunar excursion model of the limb, but that
wasn't ready, so they went to orbit the Moon, and
that's why that whole mission was rushed. So Apollo nine
became Apollo eight, Apollo eight became Apollo nine. That's why
(35:28):
that mission was rushed.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah, and by doing the amount of sequence, what we
didn't know was the firing to get out of lunar
orbit for return trajectory, so that without that preliminary mission,
it wasn't unknown, and that's what made it somewhat dangerous.
(35:50):
But they got an extraordinary view just sixty miles above
the Moon, and the rocket did fire and they did
get back to Earth and it was one of the
most extraordinary Christmas Eve moments and reading from the Book
of Genesis that led to the telegraph You Saved nineteen
sixty eight. We're looking for such a saving moment. Maybe
it's Israel, Maybe it's Ukraine Russia in twenty twenty five.
(36:13):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
with Michael ndheld Jorno
Hey, gang, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
(00:02):
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning. But glad you're here now for
the podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding it because
we're in this together. This is your Morning Show with
Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Jordan seven minutes after the hour and welcome to Friday, October,
the tenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. We
got a lot to cover, you know. John Decker just
sent me something I think you all are going to
find interesting, because one of the storylines today is going
to be Donald Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize
after all he's done, and then now the peace agreement
with Israel and they're going to give it to Venezuela's
(00:55):
Maria Garda Mujado. John Decker sent me a messag. Do
you know who nominated her? Marco Rubio. Yeah, that is
a twist. We'll talk more about it with the John
Decker next half hour. And I'm thrilled to have Yeah
Yale extein join us from the International Fellowship of christiansen
Jews from Israel momentarily, but first roy o'neils here. Many
(01:17):
conservatives are pushing back on the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.
Why Rory even I was until I heard the threat
of maybe Lee Greenwood replace them?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Lee.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know he's eighty two. Well, I see him all
the time around town. Yeah, he goes to the same
place he gets his hair done where I get mine done.
Only I just get a cut. But anyway, I digress.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
But do you drop yours off to get it done
or no? Okay, no, I don't have a rock r Yeah,
Lee Greenwood is. He says it's a great idea. He
thinks he'd be a great choice. That's what he told
the New York Post. Anyway, Well, then he kept going.
He kept saying, you know, I could come out.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I could sing, uh, you know, God bless the USA.
You know I can I can maybe even sing while
people are walking into the stadium. I could do something
maybe outside the parking lot. It's just like going to
be anywhere.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Uh and uh yeah, Turning Point USA is now putting
together its own halftime show. This almost is like something
the Internet created at first, and then Turning Point USA
is making it a reality.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And there's still soliciting ideas.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
They're pretty wide open to what performer they should have
on their website. There's or survey should our a halftime
show be country, hip hop, rock or quote anything in English?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know what I wish they would do just go
back to a short halftime and let's focus on the
football game. But all right, enough, all right, so but
what so Bad Bunny? Where does that stand up? It
doesn't seem to be any response from the NFL to
any of this pushbacks. So my guess is Bad Bunny
is going to be the halftime show, right, Oh yeah,
(03:00):
that's a that's a lock.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You know, we saw Bad Bunny on Saturday Night Live
this past weekend. You know, he's the number two streaming
artist behind Taylor Swift. And look he's you know, the
advertisers want what he brings, a youthful, diverse audience, and
that's really why he's there.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
All right, So, and I guess the big, the big
rubbing point has been that, you know, a you won't
understand unless you speak Spanish. You're not gonna know what
he's singing the lyrics. That's a problem I don't I'm
having even in English with certain genres. But that seems
to be the main pushback. And then his response, well
on learning then learn English. Well that was you know,
(03:39):
not a good move, but Spanish. All right? So how
would we watch a turning point? We'd have to turn
off the TV, put on the laptop to watch that
halftime or is it going to be on a channel?
Don't know. Yeah, none of that has been set so
there are not any details.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Again, don't know the performers, don't know the platform, whether
it is on a is it on a YouTube.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Page on their website?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Of course, if it's on a website, then what do
we talk about Monday morning?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh the website crashed blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So yeah, some network may stream it, maybe they become
a sponsor in partnership with a network to put it
on on cable or YouTube TV.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, all those details are still coming together, and maybe
they'll eve and produce alternative commercials we can go watch
and vote on There you go. There's an option. No,
I'm done with all of it, you know, play some football,
or I'm going to move on dot Org. We're he's
going to be back with a Nobel Peace price story
for us coming up in the third hour. Yeah, well, Extein,
this is always a thrill whenever we've had one other
(04:35):
chance on your morning show to visit with her. She
is the President Global CEO of the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews, which I have been a supporter of
not long after your dad started it, well about a
decade later. I started being involved in about nineteen ninety two.
And it's always a thrill to talk to you. You know,
it's interesting here in America. Everybody's got an opinion about
(04:56):
a two state solution or about this peace agreement in
phase one versus phase two. Meanwhile, we can't get two
parties to agree on extending a budget that take US
thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and even if they did,
it only lasts for three weeks and we'd be facing
another government shutdown. And I just think it's I think
it's just so important to talk to you inside of
(05:17):
Israel and just to ask you point blank what I
know there's a lot to happen, and we're in phase
one and a lot of steps this weekend have to happen.
But what does this peace steal look like for a
you whose daughter's about to serve in the military. I
would imagine that's the main victory the Jewish people and
for all of Israel.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
And good morning, well, good morning, thank you so much
for having me done. It is a day that I
think all the people here in Israel are just overwhelmed
with hope. Our prayer and our actions have always been
with the goal of bringing us to a day of
peace and brotherhood and having positive relationships with our neighbors,
(06:01):
many of our Arab neighbors, even and we saw that
was possible with the Abraham Accords. That for the past
two years, since October seventh, Israel has been at war
with two goals. Number one, to get our hostages back,
our children, our parents, our grandparents who were taken from
their bed two years ago and has been held in
the tunnels of Gaza being tortured and starved. And number two,
(06:24):
to make sure that an attack like in October seventh
will never be able to happen again. So to see
the Arab world come together under President Trump's leadership and
see what President Trump and Prime Minister Natamya who have
been able to forge a real peace, a real sense
of hope. It's something that I think Jews, Christians, everyone
(06:44):
who stands for the sanctity of life and a desire
for peace, we should be celebrating today.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, I think it's important to point out, you know,
the what you all have lived for two years, not
what people have read about what you have had actually lived,
and that you take these as they go. The enemy
has to say so as we move forward into phase two,
but where we're at today is so much better than
(07:11):
when we were pre attack and pre invasion. In that
has be lah hamas the houthis decimated is Iran Ken
has been really kicked on them. And now we get
these hostages back. That's huge for closure and for peace.
And then you move forward with troop withdrawals, and then
they have a choice. The Palestinian people have a choice
(07:33):
to surround themselves with a coalition that's going to build
a safe place, a prosperous place, a peaceful place, or
they can continue to surround themselves with thugs and engage
in war. And destruction. I can't speak to what they're
going to do, but can we celebrate where we're at.
And that is, whether it's the bodies or the living
(07:55):
children and hostages being returned, that's huge right in and
of itself. That's the hurt you're dealing with every day.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Right. You said it perfectly. I have four children, Thank God,
my oldest is joining Israeli Army, just like every eighteen
year old in Israel. And then another three weeks and
we've been living under rocket attack for two years from
seven different fronts. Israel is the size of New Jersey
and we've had over thirty five thousand rocket attacks on
(08:22):
this tiny land from seven different fronts, all of them
sponsored by Iran. And so what I do on a
day to day basis I feel like lusty person in
the world, is I go down to the places of
rocket hits. I go and meet with the families of
the hostages. I go and meet with the Holocaust survivors
and elderly who are traumatized and wounded. And what I
do is I bring them love and aid and hope
(08:44):
and food that's donated from mostly Christians in America and
around the world that within the darkness. I'm able to
represent millions of people Christians who understand that this is
a spiritual war. This is spiritual war, and there are
two sides, good and bad, those who thankstify life and
those who are chasing death. And I get to see
(09:07):
that message and action on the ground every single day
of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the poor,
and letting this tiny and ancient nation of Israel know
that we're not alone. Despite what it looks like around
the world that so many people hate us, there are
those friends like you, and thank you for being a
friend of the Fellowship for so many years. You have
(09:27):
a platform, you have a voice. You're inspiring so many
people and influencing so many people. But there are millions
like you, the silenced majority, that don't have a platform.
That the International Fellowships Christians and Jews is their voice
in Israel. And for me, that's bringing light to the darkness.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, it's the two covenants together meeting these needs. It's funny,
you know, every time I last time we talked, you
were in and out of bomb shelters, was literally interrupting interviews.
But I always think of there's a saw video one time.
There's this one elderly Jewish man that you provide food for.
I think he lives in close proximity to one of
(10:08):
the kitchens that are often in the midst of cooking,
having to break because bombs are coming. And just to
see these people, they are literally reliant on you for
their meals, and I think of them all the time
and I see their faces because of your videos. What
does this piece deal mean for not just the International
(10:28):
Fellowship of Christians and Jews and how you provide these services,
but for these people too. I mean, are you going
to be exposed now to more access to areas where
you're going to find more need Because there's a lot
of us here at home that can help, and I
think the need is going to grow. I think you're
going to probably discover more.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I would think, thank you so much. Yes, in many
ways this is the rainbow at the end of the storm.
But in many ways our work is just beginning. We
have to go and rebuild.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now is when we can go win and give hope
and bring life and make sure just as the prophecy
of a z cel says that these dry bones will
come back to life, that these cities in Israel that
have been decimated by ongoing rocket attacks for two years,
that they will once again live. And I think what
you're referring to is in Curiat Shmona. The Fellowship has
(11:24):
a soup kitchen that's just less than a mile away
from Lebanon, where Hasbala, of course was, and we had
a direct hit on our soup kitchen from a rocket attack,
and I went there within twenty four hours, and I
made sure that the meals will be produced. They'll continue
to be produced, and that old man that you're referring to,
(11:44):
he won't have to go without food because of that.
But now we're finding more people like that now that
the rockets have stopped, and as we rebuild, every single friend,
every single donation, every single prayer is giving life to
the people of Israel.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Those weekly videos you do, they're so powerful and they're
so informative, and they help keep us far away, very
in touch. I think it's important that we see those
faces and hear those stories, and I thank you for those. Yeah.
Le Exstein is the President Global CEO of the International
Fellowship for Christians and Jews. It actually hit me this
week and sometimes I'm doing an interview for everybody to
(12:19):
listen to, and then sometimes I don't get to talk
to you directly, and I wanted to say this to
you directly. It just hit me, and I was wondering
if you've given any thought to what your dad would
think of this peace plan, what he would have thought
of these last two years as you were living in
What he would have thought about this peace plan right
before his granddaughter enters the service and your dad saw
(12:40):
these cycles. Would he be seeing this in a fresh,
hopeful way for lasting peace or would he see this
as another kicking of the can, Although I'm all for
kicking of the can, even if it's a decade or so,
compared to what you all have lived for the last
two years, how do you think he would be viewing
all this? Do you give that any thought?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I love that question because it's something that I think
about all the time. And my father's the person who
really taught me both to be patient, to be realist,
and to be hopeful. And the first thing above everything
is a sanctity of life. And that I know that
my father would have been celebrating with the full heart
that the hostages are coming home. There's no greater even
(13:25):
biblical mythst but positive commandment than bringing hostages home. Bring
the hostages, what will come next? I agree one hundred
percent with what you said, and I believe that my
father would also every day that we can have quiet,
every day that we can have even if it's a
cold piece, we have to be present in that, thank
God for it, and to continue to work however much
(13:46):
we can to make sure that that brotherhood continues, that
that cold piece turns into a strategic piece, that turns
into a warm piece and a real piece. And as
we've seen, especially in the Middle East throughout the world
in the past ten years, a lot can change in
a day.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, your dad got it, and I know you get it.
You're a little bit more like me. I study the
contradictory life of Mohammad. I'm familiar with proxy terrorist organizations
and the countries they originate from. I know who the
enemy is, I know the game they play, and so
I struggle with the part that your dad was able
(14:24):
to do, and I suspect you do as well. I'm
very grateful and I stay in the moment. For right now,
the Israeli government approved it. For right now, hostages will
be returned. I probably won't celebrate until Hamas follows through
and does. And then if we get to withdrawing troops
to a certain designated line, that's great. And then in
(14:44):
terms of moving forward, I have to just say it.
I don't know that I feel it, but that hope
because it almost feels naive. But your dad had it.
He had the whole mix, and I think that's how
we have to live. But I understand the enemy, and
I know the enemy has to say, and I know
the games they play, and it's really hard to think
(15:05):
of peace for all time. But I'll take peace for
the moment after the hell you've lived for two years.
That's kind of where I'm at. Where are you?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yes, I am exactly where you are. I can keep
on repeating this biblical verse that says, Yeshuah redemption from
the Lord can come in the blink of an eye,
And so we have to continue to stand on guard.
We have to continue to be very alert. We have
to continue to call evil evil. We have to continue
to look at the darkness in the eye, not turn
(15:37):
away from it and think this is bad, this is evil.
But if all we're doing is having that righteous anger
then we're not bringing light to the world. And I
believe that as people of badly use, as people of faith,
we're called to bring light that within the hesitation of
this deal, where so many terrorists are being released for
(15:59):
innocent hostages, where we don't know if Hamas is going
to disarm, disarm yeah, international, Yeah, nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
About tomorrow that looks as good as just nothing. What
were you? But I will say this, I'm not surprised
what Iron's doing. I'm not surprised what has Blahamas is
doing or the who Thi's are doing. I'm not surprised
that Israel is able to defend itself and protect its people.
I am surprised at some of the growing anti Semitism
here at home. And I encourage people to understand their Bible,
(16:28):
understand the Covenant, what we accomplished together every day with
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and go online
and see how you can help, because the needs going
to be greater than ever. And I'm up against a heartbreak.
But I love you, sister very much, and I pray
for you daily.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Love you, my brother, Thank you so much, God bless you.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You got it. Yell exteam with the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews. All right, did you know the best
performing assets of twenty twenty five are not stocks, they're
precious metals. Gold and silver has risen twenty nine percent,
and some experts believe gold and silver is a bowl
market and it's just begun. Central banks are buying gold
to protect against the falling dollar and silver it's powering
the future, skyrocketing demand for solar evs AI. Silver's the
(17:07):
new oil. So how high could gold and silver go?

Speaker 2 (17:47):
My morning show is your Morning show with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard weekday mornings
in great city. It's like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee. And we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. We're thrilled you
here now enjoy the podcast. It's not often that I'm
ever jealous of television, but the view of the gates
(18:18):
have been opened and a sea of people walking along
the sea returning to the gaza is quite the accomplishment.
The Israeli government has ratified the peace plan and cease fire.
Now this weekend's about hostage exchange and then troop withdrawals
(18:38):
as we head towards phase two of the peace process. Now,
there's gonna be a lot of talk about Donald Trump
not getting the Nobel Peace Prize. And the really awful
thing is the poor person who did Maria Corina Mujado,
who really represents a lot of great things, and so
she was nominated by Marco Rubio so she deserves it,
and she got it Trump did. Who cares? We got
(19:02):
a long way to go and we're about peace and
prosperity and strength. Can I get Donna in real quick
before we go to Decker?
Speaker 7 (19:08):
I kind of think that this lady in Venezuela winning
the Nobel Prize is a good thing because she's highlighting
the overall negatives of socialism and supposed free stuff, leaving
her people to live in squalor.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
What do you think? Yeah, I think there's a lot
of people that are going to be angry Donald Trump
didn't get it. They're going to be pointing at the
Nobel and discrediting it and saying it was a snub,
and then we're going to lose her amazing story in
it and nominated by Marco Rubio. John Decker's here from
our White House correspondent, And yeah, I don't know what
the thinking was. I'm guessing and you can fill me in.
(19:52):
This all happened too close to the announcement. We want
to see how phase two goes compared to Phase one,
and of course ignores a lot of other accomplishments the
president has had. There is no conversation to compare what
Obama got one for and what they seem to be
waiting for. But Trump can get his in January, and
I suspect we're all going to miss the story of
(20:13):
Maria Karina Machada because of the controversy, and that's a shame.
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
I'm familiar with the recipient of this year's Nobel Peace
Prize because she received a similar type of award from
the McCain Institute, and that was in May. I was
there when she received that award. And her daughter, who
will likely accept the award on her mother's behalf, is
a remarkable person. So let's not in any way diminish
(20:41):
the accomplishments of this remarkable person. It's also important to
remember as you speak about this year's winner of the
Nobel Peace Prize, to talk about the deadline for nominations
for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, it was February, the first,
February the first, So a lot of what the president
has accomplished in terms of its initiatives happen after that date,
(21:02):
after the closing date for this year's nominations, and so
that means that next year is certainly an opportunity for
the President to win the Nobel Peace Prize, particularly if
we see movement in terms of peace in the Middle
East beyond what we see announced on Wednesday, and also
potentially the end of the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
So that's nothing to keep online as well, John, that
is so huge. Hey, I don't think we should miss
Karrena's story, obviously, and I've made that crystal clear. And
then b I understand that it's going to strike people odd,
but you could almost make a case, you know, January
will get here, and that is not only probably now.
If they don't in January, then you got the argument
(21:43):
that I think most people are going to hear today,
but January may be the appropriate time to do that.
Let's talk about do you think the president. I am
thoroughly convinced. I mean, I think the president with like
a Nobel Peace Prize, kind of like he's hanging the
picture of the auto pen. But deep down I think
he really cares about the I think Donald Trump the landman,
(22:05):
looks at the same sea I'm looking at and all
of the destruction and sees what a waste of land.
There ought to be beautiful buildings, beautiful parks. This ought
to be a great place to live and raise a family.
It should be prosperous, filled with business and opportunity. I
think that's the stuff that drives him. He wants the
death stopped, he wants the peace begun, and he wants
the prosperity to begin.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Well, you asked me the question, does he care about
the Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And he does.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
I broke the news in the President's first term that
he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. It made
news worldwide, and the President granted me one on one
television interview after I broke that news. It matters a
lot to him, there is no doubt about it. He
feels that he's accomplished a lot in terms of his
first eight nine months in office. We heard what he
(22:54):
said at the UN General Assembly in that regard, and
I believe the President.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Will get his day.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
He will be become the fourth American president to receive
the Nobel Peace prizet.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It just won't be this year. It better be January,
or my tone's going to change greatly, all right? Is
he headed to Egypt? Is he headed to Israel? Where
do things stand?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Well?
Speaker 8 (23:14):
It seems as if he's going to be heading to
Egypt to put his signature on this peace deal, which
was consummated Wednesday of this week. The President indicated that
he'll travel and leave the White House on Sunday, which
means arrival on Monday, and hopefully that's also when the
President will witness the return of those twenty Israeli hostages,
(23:35):
the returns of the remains of those twenty eight Israelis
who are killed while in the custody of Hama. So, yes,
the President is traveling to the region in the next
few days.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I don't make this distinction because all life is sacred,
all life is precious, and all hostages are important. But
for those that might be curious, I think there are
two American hostages that we think are still alive. I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
If that's the case, then you know there are two
Americans that must come home and must be reunited with
your families. And if it's just remained, the same thing
to give comfort to those families.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
John Decker as always great reporting, Have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
We'll talk next week, all right. So yeah, I mean
I didn't mean to suggest that. I think I think
the president's busy being president. If you look at these deadlines.
You know, I do think it's reasonable say it be
a shame to miss Maria Karina Machado's story. I'm trying.
(24:40):
I'm looking over the I'm distracted red because I'm looking
over you know, Serbia, Kosovo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Thailand, Cambodia. That
one was huge, Pakistan and India. I'm almost convinced that
Pakistan India was before that February deadline. Let's think, let's
think about when he started. I mean, is what halfway
(25:01):
through January? Yeah, I mean by the time, the time
by timeline, January's Nobel Peace Prize is the one he
should win, and if he doesn't, then it has no
credibility whatsoever. But I know how the narratives go, and
everybody will jump on that. That's gonna be a big
storyline that Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, and
(25:21):
they'll be very little attention paid to the deadline. There'll
be very little attention paid to the person who did win,
or the appropriateness of January of next year being the
more appropriate time for the president to get that award.
It'll just be a what it'll be, and then the
other big story wait is that?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
No, go ahead. I was going to say, now you
look forward to like maybe time in a Person of
the Year or something like that. Well that should be
you know, I brought up this analogy. I just like
to focus on this. I think this is a very
similar year to nineteen sixty eight, the civil unrest, the
US versus them, shirts versus skins divide, the assassinations. Isn't
(26:02):
this is a bad year and it's either going to
be like nineteen sixty eight and it's going to end
in a healing and we're going to begin a new chapter.
And I explained how we really rushed the moon orbit
mission of Apollo eight, really rushed it very very fortunate
(26:23):
to have those three men return home safely. There was
a lot of uncertainty and it was rushed. But one
of the things that happened by happenstance was when they
came around the dark side of the moon, they happened
to be looking out the window, and that's where we
got our first color photographs later developed and brought home.
(26:45):
I mean we didn't have them instantly, but of what
the Earth looks like from space, because up until then,
Gorman and all of them they were facing the moon,
and that really impacted those astronauts, and they decided and
made the choice to read from Genesis on Christmas Eve
with this view of Earth that looked like the only
(27:08):
thing of life in space. Everything else was black or gray,
and there's this beautiful Earth, and they read the Creation story,
and Houston decided to read them some telegrams, and one
of them happened to be LBJ and notable people. They said,
this last one's not a name you're going to know,
(27:28):
but everybody agreed you should hear this telegram and it
was from a Missus porter. I think it was in Texas.
You saved nineteen sixty eight. I'm still wondering what that
moment is. It's going to save twenty twenty five, It
could be, and I still I still got to see
(27:49):
Hamas turn these hostages over, because really, anything after that
then they're on their own. They can make their choices.
If they can choose. If they continue to choose radical
jihad and proxies of Iran and thug gree they're going
to get what they got coming. But they could choose peace,
and they could choose rebuilding, and they could choose prosperity,
(28:15):
and there's a lot of reasonable Arab and Muslim nations
that will help them do it. It'll be up to them.
And then if the President is able to focus on
Russia and Ukraine and that momentum can lead to peace there,
well then you're looking at save in twenty twenty five,
and that would be a remarkable thing, all right, if
(28:36):
you're just waking up. The ceasefire plan has been agreed
upon by Israel and their cabinet, so the piece begins
and the hostage exchange is to come. Mark Mayfield has
our top story.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ntnyah, who spoke at the cabinet
meeting and thank the US where it's help brokering the deal.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
We could live at you without the extraordinary hope the
President Steve Steve witcom sure.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
The first phase of the US broker deal includes the
release of all remaining hostages in Gaza. It also includes
a conditional Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the release of
some Palestinian prisoners. Meanwhile, there are multiple reports that the
US is planning to set as many as two hundred
troops to Israel to monitor the Seaspare agreement in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I'm Mark Mayfield, New York Attorney General. Letitia James is
responding to being indicted Thursday on mortgage fraud charges. His
charges are baseless.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Letitia James released to video Thursday afternoon, just hours after
grand jury in Virginia indicted her. She blamed President Trump,
who repeatedly called for his political enemies to be prosecuted,
including James, who won a multimillion dollar civil fraud case
last year against Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
His only goal is political retribution.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
Tish was indicted just weeks after former FBI Director James comy.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the President's
desperate weaponization of our justice system. James says she'll fight
the charges vigorously. I'm Sarah Lee Kessler as the president
to fight many charges vigorously. What happened to no one's
(30:07):
above the law? Pedestrian deaths on US roads are at
a record high. We've already connected the dots between marijuana
thhc use and fatalities in automobile accidents. Is there something
going on because all of a sudden, pedestrian death is
(30:27):
at an all time high.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Jim Roop has more.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows more
than seventy three hundred fatalities in twenty twenty three, up
nearly eighty percent since two thousand and nine. The rise
of strongest in the western and southern US, deaths arising
mainly in urban areas while rural numbers are steady. Analysts
explain bigger SUVs and trucks, but deaths from smaller vehicles
(30:49):
are also increasing. Crashes have become more deadly, not more frequent,
indicating changes in vehicle impact or design.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I'm Jim Roop. It's one of my most vivid childhood memories.
I think. I don't know. If they called the Taste
of Chicago, then this would have been in the seventies.
But our dad took us and I remember walking from
a distance, I couldn't see anything, and all of a
sudden I heard the horns and as I arrived, they
were staring right at me, and oh my gosh, it
was Chicago in Chicago, bigger than life. And they're still
(31:19):
at it, and they've already plotted their twenty twenty sixth
tour right very.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
They'll start the year off with a nine show run
in February at the Venetian Theater inside the Venetian Resort,
Las Vegas. The first show is scheduled for February thirteenth.
This marks Chicago's ninth year at the Venetian, making there's
the longest running residency in the venue's history. Tickets for
the newly announced shows go on sale next Thursday. Chicago
has been on the road every year since the group
(31:53):
was founded in the late nineteen sixties by Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Just a little rock and roll band from Chicago with horns. Well, today,
HEDY is National Metric tam Remember when we were all
freight in school. We're gonna have to learn metric. I'm
still celebrating the unit of measurement based on tens that
is used by ninety five percent of the world's population,
but not here. Pre tennis has more.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Today's the tenth day of the tenth month, and officials
thought this celebration of tents would get Americans to finally
embrace the metric system. Although the federal government has been
trying to get us on board since nineteen seventy five
with the Metric Conversion Act, it didn't work. We still
use the US customary units, that's feet, pounds and gallons
instead of the metric meter, kilograms and leaders.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I'm bre tennis and thank god for that. At baseball
the Dodgers, it took eleven innings and then a panic
on the mound on a routine tapper, and the Dodgers
are on their way to the NLCS, defeating the Phillies
and eleven innings two to one. The Phillies go home eliminated.
Phillies lost and have got eliminated. Flyers lost. Thursdayay football,
(32:57):
the Eagles lost on the road of the Giants thirty.
That's a bad day for Philadelphia. Yesterday Cop six nothing
over the brew Crew. That series tied to two games apiece.
Game five coming up tomorrow night in Milwaukee. Winner will
take on the Dodgers. Tigers in Seattle have their Game
five tonight at seven oh eight. The winner will played
(33:18):
the Blue Jays in the ALCS. College football, I don't
know what strikes she was a big game Bama Missouri.
That's eight versus fourteen. That's pretty good. Seven versus three,
Indiana and Oregon, although I think it's gonna be one
side for Oregon. O you Texas, but Texas isn't what
they used to be LSU Carolina, Georgia, Auburn, Michigan, USC Tennessee, Arkansas.
(33:41):
Lots of college football for you this weekend as well.
Actor Mario Lopez is fifty two, Governor Gavin Newsom fifty eight,
Junior race card driver Dale Earnhard Junior is fifty one,
Brett Farr Packer Great fifty six, and the front man
of Van Halen David Lee Roth is seventy one. If
it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you were
born and thanks for making us a part of your
(34:02):
big day.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
You can always email me at Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. Jim writes, Michael, the crew of Apollo eight
took the first photo called earth Rise upon orbiting the Moon,
not Apollo eleven, respectfully, I don't believe I said Apollo eleven.
I thought I said Apollow eight. Yeah. That was Jim Level,
Frank Gorman, and William Andrews. Significant Gorman was one of
(34:28):
the originals. This was his last mission for Apollo almost
in essence, came out of retirement for that mission. Jim
Level of later would be of Apollo thirteen fame. It
was level that it took the actual picture, but yeah,
it really moved them and you can really see how
unique Earth is in this hole. You know, they're staring
(34:50):
at the surface of the Moon and then they're looking
back at Earth. And they decided to read the Genesis story.
Daniel is it? Daniel An even read my own handwriting today.
Daniel is traveling to nine on a talkback Michael.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Apollo eight was rushed because the original mission was to
test the lunar excursion model of the limb, but that
wasn't ready, so they went to orbit the Moon, and
that's why that whole mission was rushed. So Apollo nine
became Apollo eight, Apollo eight became Apollo nine. That's why
(35:28):
that mission was rushed.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah, and by doing the amount of sequence, what we
didn't know was the firing to get out of lunar
orbit for return trajectory, so that without that preliminary mission,
it wasn't unknown, and that's what made it somewhat dangerous.
(35:50):
But they got an extraordinary view just sixty miles above
the Moon, and the rocket did fire and they did
get back to Earth and it was one of the
most extraordinary Christmas Eve moments and reading from the Book
of Genesis that led to the telegraph You Saved nineteen
sixty eight. We're looking for such a saving moment. Maybe
it's Israel, Maybe it's Ukraine Russia in twenty twenty five.
(36:13):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
