Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Thank you, Mike mccannon. This historic Monday, October the thirteenth,
twenty twenty five, there is peace in the Middle East.
AMAS has released all twenty living Israeli hostages. We're awaiting
the remains of twenty eight Israeli hostages who did not survive.
Israel has begun to release the Palestinian hostages, and there's
(00:52):
already talk of Phase two, which is the future of
the Palestinian and Gaza territories. I don't think. I didn't
think at the time it was happening, which I think
would have been I don't know, five something in the morning.
At first, we got word of the first seven hostages
(01:13):
being released that had me worried that maybe that's all
that was alive, or you know, were they playing games here? Seven?
But we're going to hang on to the other thirteen.
But then they released all twenty names, and so then
I felt like, well, maybe they're kind And then they
released the rest of the hostages. When the first seven
hostages plane, as the wheels touched the tarmac in Israel,
(01:38):
Air Force one simultaneously touched ground and then did a flyby,
I thought, are you kidding me? It was just so extraordinary,
And that has been almost been forgotten since. What's happened
since then, the celebration on the streets, the arrival of
(01:59):
President Trump at the Kanesset in Jerusalem, the address from
bb Net and Yahoo. The President was first and foremost
delivering a speech that has turned into a rally. This
is in the Kanesse Now it looks like a State
of the Union address. Only everybody stands. Everybody cheers. Chris
Walker is are all things republican, consultant and analyst and
(02:22):
regular here at your morning show. This is really remarkable.
I guess the only thing I would start with you
is even though the president, in portions of this rally,
state of the Union at the Kanesset has been quite
accurate from a historical standpoint, it might be polarizingly political
(02:44):
accelerant in talking about how this didn't happen because of
the anti Israel Obama and Biden administrations. I think from
a partisan political standpoint that along with Hillary Clinton having
praised for the president cident for achieving this, which I
think is important to love your country and peace more
(03:04):
than you hate a president, uh, is probably the two
early political takeaways anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
But good morning, Yeah, good morning, Michael. I mean it's
a it's a wonderful day. It's uh, it shows what
what's true leadership and and commitment to principles and ideas
can accomplish.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I I think it's uh, it's just it's something that
all of us have been praying and yearning for for
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think from the historical context this this is a
great day. I think we need to, you know, constantly
remind ourselves that, uh, you know, this this is where
a lot of our our faith intersects with uh, with
with history and so uh, you know, I always kind
of keep my mind on kind of the the fake
elements of geo Christian values as it relates to to
(03:58):
this region as well. And it's a great day, but
there's a lot about this that continues to strike at
a deeper calling.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And meaning for many of us. Yeah, and you know,
we were talking with the Yale Extein with the Fellowship
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and her father, Rabbi Extein,
started it all back in nineteen eighty two, I believe.
And you know, my Holloman I can't remember his first
name now, was someone who introduced me to the Fellowship,
(04:29):
and I've been a supporter ever since. But her father
had such a knack for a getting Islam, you know,
getting you know, jihad, getting out everything so right, and
he could celebrate moments of peace and respite and cling
(04:49):
to hope for lasting in a way that's difficult for
a lot of us to do. I think, you know,
for today, the living hostages being reunited with their family
when the rest of the remains have returned to families
for closure, and the beginning to envision a new future
in Palestine and Gaza with a reasonable Arab and Muslim
(05:12):
world oversight does make this different. I mean, I think
there's a lot to celebrate let me go back to
that first question. You think you think it's appropriate. I mean,
I don't know what the president gains. I would have
probably avoided it, but you know, he's president. I'm not
I'm just a Joe Shmo on the radio. But it
is historically accurate that one party had a problem with
(05:33):
Israel and may have held back history like this from happening.
But it certainly gets partisan when you call him out
on it, especially when there's kind of something brewing within
your own party. But you know he may address that
yet too. Was that a mistake?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, No, I don't think so. I think there is
uh what one can also be forgiven and for being
in the moment a little bit here. I mean, this
is this is something that is multiple years in the making,
and uh, you know, there's been such a domestic up on,
you know, unraveling of of of a lot of people
(06:13):
around this and for for this achievement to take places
is I mean, look, I remember when Ariel Charon and
Bill Clinton and Yasser Airfat were trying to get together
to try to do something like this and it was impossible,
and so you know, a truly you know, wonderful thing
to see transpire and political hatred domestically here in the
(06:36):
United States should not. I mean, obviously that's that's one
small slimmer of of the of the commentariat. But you know,
I think everyone should be celebrating. I think you're right,
Hillary Clinton and others are are kind of showing this
the importance of this moment beyond just you know, self
serving politics from you know, the Biden and Obama.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Years that we saw. Well, you beat me to my
more important point, which would be to miss that, to
miss how impots possible this has been for thirty years
is to miss the magnitude of how great this is today. Now.
I don't know, I can't speak to everything it could become.
I claim to hope moving forward with that, but just
today and today alone was not possible for the previous
(07:15):
thirty years, and that's part of why the magnitude is
so great. All Right, we have a Democrat Attorney General
Candida in Virginia who I can't imagine is going to survive,
not the personal text messages of hate towards the speaker
in Virginia. That should be the end of his campaign,
But it's not looking much brighter. In the governor's race
(07:36):
either after the first debate, there are bad performance. You know,
I always say in every debate you want to have
it maybe one or two great moments, avoid any really
bad moments, and any gaps that can end your candidacy.
Spamberger may have had the gap that ends her candidacy.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I mean, one would hope. You know, most people probably
aren't paying attention to the Virginia governor's race, so I'll
elaborate a little bit. I mean, when some series is
lieutenant governor asked her specifically about this a g canon
in Virginia wishing death upon his political enemies, and then
the in the you know, in the era of Charlie
(08:14):
Kirk and you know, as fascination to attempts on President Trump.
You know, like that's not something to be taken lightly,
and that's not something to just wipe away.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And when win.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Some series rightfully asked her Democrat opponent as Abby spam
Murder about it, not only did she not answer the question,
she wouldn't even look at the lieutenant governor. The just
the the disrespect and the just the arrogance of not
even giving the your opponent, you know, the dignity of
(08:47):
of of a response or even looking in their general
direction just seems so obtuse and so out of touch
with the political moment. I mean, we're trying to talk
about the future of Virginia, wherein Governor Youngkin has really
turned that state around in a tremendous way to the
Terry mccauiff years. And to see that just again, just
this this dain for political conversation rather than you know,
(09:07):
kind of taking my way of the highway approach and
Democrat politics. It's just breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So I hope.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Virginia's have that Virginias have a chance, and Winston Series
has been behind throughout this race, but you know, something
like that could be the implection point that we see
where hopefully sanity prevails over this uh ridiculous display of
just you know, just not even gracious behavior, just just
uh you know.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And by the way, we're not even and you're not
even talking about Katie Porter yet, who, by the way,
had that awful viral interview moment. Her campaign is now
losing to somebody who isn't even in the race. Uh.
The only one that they have that's still hanging on
though falling fast in the polls is Aron Mam Donnie.
So I don't know if it took too long, uh
(09:54):
for the mayor to get out of the race and
clear the path for a Cuomo Mam Donnie showdown, but
it's at least tightened to about ten percent. And now
we have the thirteen thousand dollars of a legal foreign
donations going to his campaign being revealed. So things are
tightening up in the mayor's race. But there's only a
couple of weeks ago. Did you lead?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, we're in a general election there. I mean, New
York is overwhelmingly Democrats, so would I would be shocked
if anything changed there. What California can do is not
pick somebody as toxic as Katie Porter in their primary.
You know, will pee to the staffer that gets into
Katie Porters shot on a zoom call.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's a dangerous.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Territory for you. But you know, I think there's a
lot Virginia and New Jersey governor's race and New York
mayor are all general election next month and are important
pieces of the puzzle to see where this country is going.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And you know, we.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Are seeing like the wins that we're seeing in Israel
and Gaza today are because of you know, center right
conservative prince leadership, and if Virginia, you know, takes the
left turn, well that's an unfortunate position for Virginia to
be in. And New Jersey for that matter, has a
chance to kind of Look, we're seeing wins, we're seeing results,
we're seeing positive momentum when you're following conservative values and principles,
(11:17):
and so let's you know, I think these states and
the City of New York have a chance to to
extend the wind streak here. If they go the other direction,
you know, it's unfortunate to see what's going to happen
in all three of those areas.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So Spamberger Porter, I guess to some grievance, Mom Donnie,
if he wins at some point that becomes a brand liability,
doesn't it heading into a year of midterm elections? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Absolutely, I think that Katie Porter is a brand brand
liability throughout her career. But you know, in this in
this instance, yes, I think there's certainly a transition there
that that that's uh. Again, these states have have a
choice to make, and we hope they make the right one.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Last you know, they done. No, I was just gonna
say last question, Chris Walker, all things Republican. Last question,
and this is the most important question when you look
at today, in this historic moment, is this a Republican
Party victory or this, too, like a lot of other things,
a Trump victory. And there is a difference.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Oh goodness, I mean, I have to call them Trump victory.
It's it's his sheer will and his teams that put
this together. The Republican Party can't can't look at this
and say this is a Republican victory. This is I mean,
you know, and again I think it's an American victory.
I think this is a global victory. But this is
(12:43):
directly related to President Trump being fervent in his you know,
beliefs and in his steadfastness with Israel in spite of
as you as you kind of alluded to earlier, several
folks within his own coalition being anti Israel in in
a loud way that we have not seen in thirty years.
And so the President said fastest there in spite of
(13:05):
some in his own party, I think is showing some real,
you know, some real dividends today that I think that
the world is better for. And so the President's leadership
here is it can't be questioned. I mean, it's because
of his determination and singular will that this is, that
this is becoming a reality today, and that's something I'm
thankful for tremendously today.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
There's a lot of jewels in his legacy, crown. This
could be the crown jewel, Chris Walker, All Things Republican.
We talk every Monday or sooner if conditions. Warren, thank
you so much for your time.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
A lot happened while you were sleeping. Hostage Square became
Freed Square. The first seven hostages were released right as
Air Force one is doing a flyover and then touched
down two minutes earlier. The other third team were released,
(14:01):
and now we're waiting on the remains of the twenty
eight hostages who didn't survive. And then from there it
got even wilder with the celebration in the streets, the
arrival in Jerusalem of the President and the Kanesset, the speeches,
BB Net, Yahoo, nothing but praise.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the State of
Israel has ever had in the White House.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hey, While President Trump pointed to all of the negotiators
that were serving him and gave them all the credit.
This is what Netnya who had to say about Trump.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
We welcome you here to thank you for your pivotal
leadership and putting forward a proposal that got the backing
of almost the entire world, a proposal, a proposal that
brings all our hostages home. I've never seen anyone the
(15:00):
world so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely as our friend,
President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Trump. Then Trump started speaking. He had a lot of
things well after Netanyahoo was the opposition party leader in Israel,
and he talked. The best quote was the Jewish story
didn't end in the Bible, it began in the Bible.
And then you see the opposing party that had been
(15:35):
protesting Israel and accusing Israel of genocide. You see their
opposition leader, who probably represents a lot of their votes,
tell them they were duped. So there was a uniting
of Israel. And then Donald Trump launches into his hour
and a half speech slash, rally slash what appeared like
(15:57):
a joint session of Congress, only it was the Kanesse.
It has been an extraordinary morning, and there's a lot
of hope for the future in Israel. Other news at
least four people are dead twenty others are injured in
a bar shooting Sunday, and South Carolina lawmakers on both
sides continue to point fingers as the government remains shut down.
(16:18):
This is Philip on Space Coast in Melbourne, Florida, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Giorno.
He's the one spotseme boll Hey, it's me Michael. Your
morning show can be heard live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
(16:42):
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy
the podcast. Thanks for bringing us along with you. It's
an honor to serve you. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the
sound red keeping an eye on the content. I just
got this email at Michael di atiheartmedia dot com and
have to share with you. This is the email of
(17:02):
the week from William early On. Michael, are the Palestinians
that Israel is holding actually hostages? Or are they convicted
terrorists serving sentences in Israel? If we call them hostages,
it suggests a moral equivalence between them and those taken
by force by hamas abused and truly held hostage. Please
(17:24):
check well, William, The answer is all the above. There
are going to be those that were captured in the
October seventh and since during war, there's going to be
some that were arrested prior to that, you know, so
the term everyone is using is a hostage exchange. You're
(17:46):
just smart to point out the moral difference as to
how many of the nearly two thousand are dangerous. Read
said something off the air that you know was striking.
He's like, can you imagine the ones they're not releasing.
There's probably who could even put a percentage on it,
(18:06):
But if it's eighty percent, are probably very radicalized terrorists. Yeah,
that's the downside to all this. They're free, hopefully not
welcome in the new Palestine and Gaza hopefully. And again
this is hope we cling to. There's a new future coming,
or they will be dealt with accordingly if we see
(18:28):
them again causing trouble on the battlefield. But yeah, that's
an important distinction. Great, great email, Thanks for it. All right,
Ken have your morning show without your voice, So let's
go to the talkbacks. I don't have any locations. Where's
Philip from? Philip from KAKC. That's KAKC is Tulsa, Oklahoma, Philip.
(18:50):
When they released two thousand prisoners from Israel back to Hamas,
will they offer them all a free phone? That's that too.
Could be a possibility, and I think they're too smart
to take a pager. Where's Michael from? Michael is k
f Y I k f y I Phoenix, Arizona. Michael
(19:15):
Michael now says the Reds are off for the winner.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I yield my time to my fellow Bengals fans.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Please give the Bangals score?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Where morning show is my Morning Show with Michael third?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Do we actually have listeners now yielding their time? They
lost twenty seven to eighteen. Although I got to tell
you I Flacco looks good.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
The My fantasy is I want to be a college
football coach who stinks, and I would gets fired and
then like Franklin at Penn State, you hand me sixty
million dollars to go away? How do you get those jobs? Yeah?
Like I mean, if Julie Talbot wants to just give
(19:57):
me like five million to go away, I'll go away,
But I mean next to that, I want to be
an ex Browns quarterback. Right, They all seem to do
better after they leave. Look at Baker Mayfield. He is
right now and it's early in the season. But if
(20:17):
the season we're in right now, that's your MVP. And
the Browns had him and even Joe Flackol looked pretty good.
I mean, they're not gonna be the same, and so
they get their starter backs. No Joe Burrow, No, he's
not Joe Burrow. But they don't you know, twenty seven
eighteen on the road, they lost but looked better. Why
do I have to We're not on in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But Mike? All right, Michael, I'm gonna yield it and
do it all right. I'll give the Bengal fan their due.
Final say goes to h This is Tim and Gallaton.
So now that Trump is loved by Israel and the Jews,
will the media is stop calling him Hitler or maybe
calling him anti Hitler. I don't know. I think it
was rhetorical.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
All people who majored in online activism with a minor
and puberty block, any.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Of you in the media clearly missed the art of
the deal.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, so it's all reality now, but Sunday it wasn't
reality yet. But if it becomes reality, even Hillary Clinton
would give President Trump his just praise.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Listen, does this diplomatic breakthrough make you hopeful about what's next?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Nora? It does.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
It's a really significant first step, and I really commend
President Trump and his administration as well as Arab leaders
in the region for making the commitment to the twenty
point plan and seeing a path forward for what's often
(21:55):
called the day After. Most importantly, the conflict hopefully will
end with the ceasefire, the hostages will be returned, and
then the very hard work of rebuilding Gaza, of finding
the kind of security that Israel and the Palestinians after
(22:16):
Hamas deserved to have. Moving forward with the other points
in the plan to try to create an opportunity for
Palestinians to have a better life than for Israel to have.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Greater peace and security.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
I am very hopeful that we'll be able to see progress.
Today's a good start, but we have to keep going
from here.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah. I mean, I don't like to play partisan politics.
I'm not that kind of a talk showist. It's not
that I don't see it. I am aware that Donald
Trump achieved something she couldn't achieve as a Secretary of
State in an Obama administration, for reasons the President pointed
out in his speech at the Cane. But it's important,
(23:05):
you know. It's kind of like Pam Bondi's quote to
Dick Durbin in that Senate hearing. Even though I wasn't
a big fan of how she was combative and on
the offensive, I think you go there and let them
make a fool out of themselves. But I did love
her lying if only you loved America as much as
you hate the president. So I want to give Hillary
credit for loving America, loving peace more than she hates
(23:28):
the president. And I don't really point to her failures
or o Obama's failures. I'm just grateful for the sovereignty
of God, who knew when Trump didn't win reelection it
was the best thing for Donald Trump and America for
him to a be off for four years, b survive
all the law fair and attacks, and then even assassinations
(23:55):
to be president at this moment to achieve this accomplishment.
And it has been an extraordinary day. I mean we
have since had Air Force one to a flyover. Right
at the moment hostage Square becomes Freed Square. I mean,
I've seen it all. Then he breaks out into a
(24:15):
rally in the Kanesset, which turns into a state of
the Union, only both sides stand. I mean, it's been
a pretty extraordinary day. Here's how it all started in
the tarmac as he was leaving for Israel.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
So this is going to be a very special time.
And I guess if you read your own papers and
your own networks, everybody's very excited about this moment in time.
So I'll see you on the plane. I think you're
traveling with us. But this is a very special event.
There at five hundred thousand people yesterday and today in Israel,
(24:49):
and also the Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering.
Everybody's cheering. It one time that's never happened before. Usually
if you have one cheering the other, isn't the other
the opposite.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Uh. This is the first time.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Everybody is amazed and they're thrilled, and it's.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
An honor to.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Be involved, and we're gonna have an amazing time and
it's gonna be something that's never never happened before. So
I'll see you on the plane and we're gonna have
a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Oh he did see him on the plane, and that's
when this exchange took place. We talked a couple of
weeks ago. You were doing an interview and you talked
about how you hope to end up war in Ukraine
because it might help you get into heaven. How does
how does this help? Does this help? I mean, you know,
I'm being a little cute.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I don't think there's anything gonna get me in heaven.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, I feel like tell it.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I
may be in heaven right now as we fly at
the Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna
be able to make heaven. But I've made life a
lot better for a lot of people. And you know,
as an example, had had the election of twenty twenty
and I've been rigged, you would have millions of people
living just in Rushia, Ukraine alone. It would have never happened.
(26:00):
And it didn't happen for four years. And I knew
Poot very well. It was the apple of his eye
that all the things I've said would have never happened.
We had an incompetent administration, We had an incompetent president,
and because of a crooked election, millions of people are dead.
And by the way, the Israeli thing was much harder
to get settled because of the best administration.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So several interesting points to make there. One our early
platinum card listeners got theologically involved in the president, not
knowing if he's going to heaven or not, but to
acknowledge the failures of previous administrations. We can all go there.
(26:45):
I think there was an old movie called Mister Destiny.
It's start Jim Belushi and he's in a big game
in Little League and he strikes out and he felt
like that shaped his destiny and had he only gotten
a home run, and then you see both sides of
his life. What would have happened whether he struck out
(27:07):
or got the home run? And the answer is the
home run would have led to the worst life. The
truth is, we don't know. I can tell you life
is best understood looking backwards, but must be lived going forward.
I don't know who was president for four years. I
don't know how it ended up being Joe Biden. In
(27:28):
an auto pen, I don't know why Donald Trump had
to be off for four years and go through what
he went through and even survive an assassination by a centimeter.
I've always felt like he and JFK were two presidents
that never were supposed to be, and one did get
killed and one was spared to come back as a
different man, a different president, to do the right things
(27:50):
in this time. You know, Donald Trump could have won
that second term and somebody else could be president today,
and the invasion still would have happened, and Israel would
have moved forward without American support, and Iran would be
stronger than ever. The Houthis are to be stronger than
ever and wreaking havoc more than ever in the seas
Hamas and Hesblah in the territory. All I know is
(28:16):
there's a sovereign God, and I celebrate this moment. Iran
has been weakened and the can has been kicked. Hamas
has belund. The Houthis have been decimated. Hostages living ever
been returned to their families. Soon the remains of those
who did not survival be returned to their families. And
(28:36):
there is a hope for and a process towards peace.
I celebrate a sovereign God, and I don't point fingers
at the wood IFFs.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
That.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Meanwhile, there's Kamala Harris. Mamala Kamala is not looking good
for president. She may have an opportunity to go back
and change her mind and run for governor in California,
but her book tour it got ugly. These are Palestinian
(29:11):
protesters accusing Kamala Harris and Joe Biden of lack of
leadership that led to genocide.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
You know what, I am not president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You go to the White House and talk to the well.
Then that led to even more people screaming you're a
criminal of wolf. Yeah, not a good it's I think.
Can we just agree it's been a disastrous book tour
(29:48):
for Mama La Kamala. And then there's George Stepanophilis. I'll
never forget when John Decker said, you know, I remember
I covered the one of the first government shutdowns and
I was getting inside information from the Clinton White House
from an operative. His name George Stepanopflais. I said, well,
(30:08):
not much has change. He's still an operative, only now
he's an operative for ABC. Here's how his interview went
with the Vice President of the United States, because all
George Stepanopflis wants to talk about is not a secured border,
not crime being reduced in cities that are out of control,
and certainly not peace in the Middle East. No, it's home.
(30:29):
And in that fifty thousand dollars cash, what was caught
on the tape you're saying right now, you don't know
whether or not he kept that money.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
I don't know what tape you're referring to, George. I
saw media reports that Tom Holman accepted a bribe.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
There's no evidence of that.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
And here's George, why fewer and fewer people watch your
program and why you're losing credibility because you're talking for
now five minutes with the Vice President of the United
States about this story regarding Tom Holme and a story.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
That i've By the way, can I just interrupt and
say I love that line. You've just been talking for
five minutes with the Vice President of the United States
and all you can bring up is this bribe story again.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Read about but I don't even know the video that
you're talking about. Meanwhile, low income women can't get food
because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government.
Right now, we're trying to figure out how to pay
our troops because Chuck Schumer has shut down the government.
You were focused on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal
wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong, instead
(31:31):
of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling
because our government's shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George.
I think the American people would benefit much more from
that than from you going down some weird left wing.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Rabbit hole where the facts clearly.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Show that Tom Holman didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That is exactly why we say always revealing, often entertaining
that one was both.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
All right, everybody block alone.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Look, you've just got a try hard or not the
show some deaf the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you junior, Right.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Mental Cash, it's your morning show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're listening to bb NET and Yahoo. As he spoke
before the President live in Jerusalem.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the State of
Israel has ever had in.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
The White House.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
I've never seen anyone move the world so quickly, so decisively,
so resolutely as our friend President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Trump. Give me somebody who was up in the middle
of the night like the rest of us. Roy O'Neil
or your morning show correspondent is joining us. What happened
between one am Central and before we ever went on
the air was one of the most extraordinary middle of
the nights I've ever experienced. And then what happened once
we were on the air, when Trump turned into a
(33:02):
rally slash I don't know, State of the Union from Israel,
it was this has been a remarkable morning, do you
care to summarize?
Speaker 9 (33:11):
Certainly has, and we're not done yet since the President
is on his way to Egypt for sort of round
two of this peace process, so it could be pretty
exciting before the day is done, or even more exciting.
But yeah, as you said, we saw the release of
seven hostages, then we all thought, oh, is that all right?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Does that mean more coming?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Are we all done than the other thirteen?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Of course, now we're more hopeful that we'll get the
remaining the bodies of the remaining twenty eight turned over
as soon as possible. Also, the process is underway to
transfer more than fifteen hundred Palestinians who've been held by Israel,
some on life sentences. They're being released, so it's a
it's a complicated exchange that continues.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, I mean that's the part about living it live
in the middle of the night versus waking up and
it's over. When they released seven, I was like, Oh,
this don't look good. Some kind of games are going on.
Then they release the twenty names, then all twenty. Then
the Air Force one fly over over Hostage Square that
had just become Freed Square as the hostages the first
seven had landed. Just an extraordinary day, and now it's
(34:13):
onto Egypt. Whatever happens there we'll cover tomorrow. We'll have
more on the shutdown as well as we enter a
new week with Rory tomorrow fifty eight minutes after the hour,
stand by for your local news. Thank God for his
sovereignty and for the piece we have and the peace
and the hope and the piece that may come make
a difference in someone's life, and cherish yours. We'll see
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Nheld, journo
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Thank you, Mike mccannon. This historic Monday, October the thirteenth,
twenty twenty five, there is peace in the Middle East.
AMAS has released all twenty living Israeli hostages. We're awaiting
the remains of twenty eight Israeli hostages who did not survive.
Israel has begun to release the Palestinian hostages, and there's
(00:52):
already talk of Phase two, which is the future of
the Palestinian and Gaza territories. I don't think. I didn't
think at the time it was happening, which I think
would have been I don't know, five something in the morning.
At first, we got word of the first seven hostages
(01:13):
being released that had me worried that maybe that's all
that was alive, or you know, were they playing games here? Seven?
But we're going to hang on to the other thirteen.
But then they released all twenty names, and so then
I felt like, well, maybe they're kind And then they
released the rest of the hostages. When the first seven
hostages plane, as the wheels touched the tarmac in Israel,
(01:38):
Air Force one simultaneously touched ground and then did a flyby,
I thought, are you kidding me? It was just so extraordinary,
And that has been almost been forgotten since. What's happened
since then, the celebration on the streets, the arrival of
(01:59):
President Trump at the Kanesset in Jerusalem, the address from
bb Net and Yahoo. The President was first and foremost
delivering a speech that has turned into a rally. This
is in the Kanesse Now it looks like a State
of the Union address. Only everybody stands. Everybody cheers. Chris
Walker is are all things republican, consultant and analyst and
(02:22):
regular here at your morning show. This is really remarkable.
I guess the only thing I would start with you
is even though the president, in portions of this rally,
state of the Union at the Kanesset has been quite
accurate from a historical standpoint, it might be polarizingly political
(02:44):
accelerant in talking about how this didn't happen because of
the anti Israel Obama and Biden administrations. I think from
a partisan political standpoint that along with Hillary Clinton having
praised for the president cident for achieving this, which I
think is important to love your country and peace more
(03:04):
than you hate a president, uh, is probably the two
early political takeaways anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
But good morning, Yeah, good morning, Michael. I mean it's
a it's a wonderful day. It's uh, it shows what
what's true leadership and and commitment to principles and ideas
can accomplish.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I I think it's uh, it's just it's something that
all of us have been praying and yearning for for
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think from the historical context this this is a
great day. I think we need to, you know, constantly
remind ourselves that, uh, you know, this this is where
a lot of our our faith intersects with uh, with
with history and so uh, you know, I always kind
of keep my mind on kind of the the fake
elements of geo Christian values as it relates to to
(03:58):
this region as well. And it's a great day, but
there's a lot about this that continues to strike at
a deeper calling.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And meaning for many of us. Yeah, and you know,
we were talking with the Yale Extein with the Fellowship
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and her father, Rabbi Extein,
started it all back in nineteen eighty two, I believe.
And you know, my Holloman I can't remember his first
name now, was someone who introduced me to the Fellowship,
(04:29):
and I've been a supporter ever since. But her father
had such a knack for a getting Islam, you know,
getting you know, jihad, getting out everything so right, and
he could celebrate moments of peace and respite and cling
(04:49):
to hope for lasting in a way that's difficult for
a lot of us to do. I think, you know,
for today, the living hostages being reunited with their family
when the rest of the remains have returned to families
for closure, and the beginning to envision a new future
in Palestine and Gaza with a reasonable Arab and Muslim
(05:12):
world oversight does make this different. I mean, I think
there's a lot to celebrate let me go back to
that first question. You think you think it's appropriate. I mean,
I don't know what the president gains. I would have
probably avoided it, but you know, he's president. I'm not
I'm just a Joe Shmo on the radio. But it
is historically accurate that one party had a problem with
(05:33):
Israel and may have held back history like this from happening.
But it certainly gets partisan when you call him out
on it, especially when there's kind of something brewing within
your own party. But you know he may address that
yet too. Was that a mistake?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, No, I don't think so. I think there is
uh what one can also be forgiven and for being
in the moment a little bit here. I mean, this
is this is something that is multiple years in the making,
and uh, you know, there's been such a domestic up on,
you know, unraveling of of of a lot of people
(06:13):
around this and for for this achievement to take places
is I mean, look, I remember when Ariel Charon and
Bill Clinton and Yasser Airfat were trying to get together
to try to do something like this and it was impossible,
and so you know, a truly you know, wonderful thing
to see transpire and political hatred domestically here in the
(06:36):
United States should not. I mean, obviously that's that's one
small slimmer of of the of the commentariat. But you know,
I think everyone should be celebrating. I think you're right,
Hillary Clinton and others are are kind of showing this
the importance of this moment beyond just you know, self
serving politics from you know, the Biden and Obama.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Years that we saw. Well, you beat me to my
more important point, which would be to miss that, to
miss how impots possible this has been for thirty years
is to miss the magnitude of how great this is today. Now.
I don't know, I can't speak to everything it could become.
I claim to hope moving forward with that, but just
today and today alone was not possible for the previous
(07:15):
thirty years, and that's part of why the magnitude is
so great. All Right, we have a Democrat Attorney General
Candida in Virginia who I can't imagine is going to survive,
not the personal text messages of hate towards the speaker
in Virginia. That should be the end of his campaign,
But it's not looking much brighter. In the governor's race
(07:36):
either after the first debate, there are bad performance. You know,
I always say in every debate you want to have
it maybe one or two great moments, avoid any really
bad moments, and any gaps that can end your candidacy.
Spamberger may have had the gap that ends her candidacy.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I mean, one would hope. You know, most people probably
aren't paying attention to the Virginia governor's race, so I'll
elaborate a little bit. I mean, when some series is
lieutenant governor asked her specifically about this a g canon
in Virginia wishing death upon his political enemies, and then
the in the you know, in the era of Charlie
(08:14):
Kirk and you know, as fascination to attempts on President Trump.
You know, like that's not something to be taken lightly,
and that's not something to just wipe away.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And when win.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Some series rightfully asked her Democrat opponent as Abby spam
Murder about it, not only did she not answer the question,
she wouldn't even look at the lieutenant governor. The just
the the disrespect and the just the arrogance of not
even giving the your opponent, you know, the dignity of
(08:47):
of of a response or even looking in their general
direction just seems so obtuse and so out of touch
with the political moment. I mean, we're trying to talk
about the future of Virginia, wherein Governor Youngkin has really
turned that state around in a tremendous way to the
Terry mccauiff years. And to see that just again, just
this this dain for political conversation rather than you know,
(09:07):
kind of taking my way of the highway approach and
Democrat politics. It's just breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So I hope.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Virginia's have that Virginias have a chance, and Winston Series
has been behind throughout this race, but you know, something
like that could be the implection point that we see
where hopefully sanity prevails over this uh ridiculous display of
just you know, just not even gracious behavior, just just
uh you know.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And by the way, we're not even and you're not
even talking about Katie Porter yet, who, by the way,
had that awful viral interview moment. Her campaign is now
losing to somebody who isn't even in the race. Uh.
The only one that they have that's still hanging on
though falling fast in the polls is Aron Mam Donnie.
So I don't know if it took too long, uh
(09:54):
for the mayor to get out of the race and
clear the path for a Cuomo Mam Donnie showdown, but
it's at least tightened to about ten percent. And now
we have the thirteen thousand dollars of a legal foreign
donations going to his campaign being revealed. So things are
tightening up in the mayor's race. But there's only a
couple of weeks ago. Did you lead?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, we're in a general election there. I mean, New
York is overwhelmingly Democrats, so would I would be shocked
if anything changed there. What California can do is not
pick somebody as toxic as Katie Porter in their primary.
You know, will pee to the staffer that gets into
Katie Porters shot on a zoom call.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's a dangerous.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Territory for you. But you know, I think there's a
lot Virginia and New Jersey governor's race and New York
mayor are all general election next month and are important
pieces of the puzzle to see where this country is going.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And you know, we.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Are seeing like the wins that we're seeing in Israel
and Gaza today are because of you know, center right
conservative prince leadership, and if Virginia, you know, takes the
left turn, well that's an unfortunate position for Virginia to
be in. And New Jersey for that matter, has a
chance to kind of Look, we're seeing wins, we're seeing results,
we're seeing positive momentum when you're following conservative values and principles,
(11:17):
and so let's you know, I think these states and
the City of New York have a chance to to
extend the wind streak here. If they go the other direction,
you know, it's unfortunate to see what's going to happen
in all three of those areas.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So Spamberger Porter, I guess to some grievance, Mom Donnie,
if he wins at some point that becomes a brand liability,
doesn't it heading into a year of midterm elections? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Absolutely, I think that Katie Porter is a brand brand
liability throughout her career. But you know, in this in
this instance, yes, I think there's certainly a transition there
that that that's uh. Again, these states have have a
choice to make, and we hope they make the right one.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Last you know, they done. No, I was just gonna
say last question, Chris Walker, all things Republican. Last question,
and this is the most important question when you look
at today, in this historic moment, is this a Republican
Party victory or this, too, like a lot of other things,
a Trump victory. And there is a difference.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Oh goodness, I mean, I have to call them Trump victory.
It's it's his sheer will and his teams that put
this together. The Republican Party can't can't look at this
and say this is a Republican victory. This is I mean,
you know, and again I think it's an American victory.
I think this is a global victory. But this is
(12:43):
directly related to President Trump being fervent in his you know,
beliefs and in his steadfastness with Israel in spite of
as you as you kind of alluded to earlier, several
folks within his own coalition being anti Israel in in
a loud way that we have not seen in thirty years.
And so the President said fastest there in spite of
(13:05):
some in his own party, I think is showing some real,
you know, some real dividends today that I think that
the world is better for. And so the President's leadership
here is it can't be questioned. I mean, it's because
of his determination and singular will that this is, that
this is becoming a reality today, and that's something I'm
thankful for tremendously today.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
There's a lot of jewels in his legacy, crown. This
could be the crown jewel, Chris Walker, All Things Republican.
We talk every Monday or sooner if conditions. Warren, thank
you so much for your time.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
A lot happened while you were sleeping. Hostage Square became
Freed Square. The first seven hostages were released right as
Air Force one is doing a flyover and then touched
down two minutes earlier. The other third team were released,
(14:01):
and now we're waiting on the remains of the twenty
eight hostages who didn't survive. And then from there it
got even wilder with the celebration in the streets, the
arrival in Jerusalem of the President and the Kanesset, the speeches,
BB Net, Yahoo, nothing but praise.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the State of
Israel has ever had in the White House.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hey, While President Trump pointed to all of the negotiators
that were serving him and gave them all the credit.
This is what Netnya who had to say about Trump.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
We welcome you here to thank you for your pivotal
leadership and putting forward a proposal that got the backing
of almost the entire world, a proposal, a proposal that
brings all our hostages home. I've never seen anyone the
(15:00):
world so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely as our friend,
President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Trump. Then Trump started speaking. He had a lot of
things well after Netanyahoo was the opposition party leader in Israel,
and he talked. The best quote was the Jewish story
didn't end in the Bible, it began in the Bible.
And then you see the opposing party that had been
(15:35):
protesting Israel and accusing Israel of genocide. You see their
opposition leader, who probably represents a lot of their votes,
tell them they were duped. So there was a uniting
of Israel. And then Donald Trump launches into his hour
and a half speech slash, rally slash what appeared like
(15:57):
a joint session of Congress, only it was the Kanesse.
It has been an extraordinary morning, and there's a lot
of hope for the future in Israel. Other news at
least four people are dead twenty others are injured in
a bar shooting Sunday, and South Carolina lawmakers on both
sides continue to point fingers as the government remains shut down.
(16:18):
This is Philip on Space Coast in Melbourne, Florida, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Giorno.
He's the one spotseme boll Hey, it's me Michael. Your
morning show can be heard live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
(16:42):
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy
the podcast. Thanks for bringing us along with you. It's
an honor to serve you. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the
sound red keeping an eye on the content. I just
got this email at Michael di atiheartmedia dot com and
have to share with you. This is the email of
(17:02):
the week from William early On. Michael, are the Palestinians
that Israel is holding actually hostages? Or are they convicted
terrorists serving sentences in Israel? If we call them hostages,
it suggests a moral equivalence between them and those taken
by force by hamas abused and truly held hostage. Please
(17:24):
check well, William, The answer is all the above. There
are going to be those that were captured in the
October seventh and since during war, there's going to be
some that were arrested prior to that, you know, so
the term everyone is using is a hostage exchange. You're
(17:46):
just smart to point out the moral difference as to
how many of the nearly two thousand are dangerous. Read
said something off the air that you know was striking.
He's like, can you imagine the ones they're not releasing.
There's probably who could even put a percentage on it,
(18:06):
But if it's eighty percent, are probably very radicalized terrorists. Yeah,
that's the downside to all this. They're free, hopefully not
welcome in the new Palestine and Gaza hopefully. And again
this is hope we cling to. There's a new future coming,
or they will be dealt with accordingly if we see
(18:28):
them again causing trouble on the battlefield. But yeah, that's
an important distinction. Great, great email, Thanks for it. All right,
Ken have your morning show without your voice, So let's
go to the talkbacks. I don't have any locations. Where's
Philip from? Philip from KAKC. That's KAKC is Tulsa, Oklahoma, Philip.
(18:50):
When they released two thousand prisoners from Israel back to Hamas,
will they offer them all a free phone? That's that too.
Could be a possibility, and I think they're too smart
to take a pager. Where's Michael from? Michael is k
f Y I k f y I Phoenix, Arizona. Michael
(19:15):
Michael now says the Reds are off for the winner.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I yield my time to my fellow Bengals fans.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Please give the Bangals score?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Where morning show is my Morning Show with Michael third?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Do we actually have listeners now yielding their time? They
lost twenty seven to eighteen. Although I got to tell
you I Flacco looks good.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
The My fantasy is I want to be a college
football coach who stinks, and I would gets fired and
then like Franklin at Penn State, you hand me sixty
million dollars to go away? How do you get those jobs? Yeah?
Like I mean, if Julie Talbot wants to just give
(19:57):
me like five million to go away, I'll go away,
But I mean next to that, I want to be
an ex Browns quarterback. Right, They all seem to do
better after they leave. Look at Baker Mayfield. He is
right now and it's early in the season. But if
(20:17):
the season we're in right now, that's your MVP. And
the Browns had him and even Joe Flackol looked pretty good.
I mean, they're not gonna be the same, and so
they get their starter backs. No Joe Burrow, No, he's
not Joe Burrow. But they don't you know, twenty seven
eighteen on the road, they lost but looked better. Why
do I have to We're not on in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But Mike? All right, Michael, I'm gonna yield it and
do it all right. I'll give the Bengal fan their due.
Final say goes to h This is Tim and Gallaton.
So now that Trump is loved by Israel and the Jews,
will the media is stop calling him Hitler or maybe
calling him anti Hitler. I don't know. I think it
was rhetorical.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
All people who majored in online activism with a minor
and puberty block, any.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Of you in the media clearly missed the art of
the deal.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, so it's all reality now, but Sunday it wasn't
reality yet. But if it becomes reality, even Hillary Clinton
would give President Trump his just praise.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Listen, does this diplomatic breakthrough make you hopeful about what's next?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Nora? It does.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
It's a really significant first step, and I really commend
President Trump and his administration as well as Arab leaders
in the region for making the commitment to the twenty
point plan and seeing a path forward for what's often
(21:55):
called the day After. Most importantly, the conflict hopefully will
end with the ceasefire, the hostages will be returned, and
then the very hard work of rebuilding Gaza, of finding
the kind of security that Israel and the Palestinians after
(22:16):
Hamas deserved to have. Moving forward with the other points
in the plan to try to create an opportunity for
Palestinians to have a better life than for Israel to have.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Greater peace and security.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
I am very hopeful that we'll be able to see progress.
Today's a good start, but we have to keep going
from here.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah. I mean, I don't like to play partisan politics.
I'm not that kind of a talk showist. It's not
that I don't see it. I am aware that Donald
Trump achieved something she couldn't achieve as a Secretary of
State in an Obama administration, for reasons the President pointed
out in his speech at the Cane. But it's important,
(23:05):
you know. It's kind of like Pam Bondi's quote to
Dick Durbin in that Senate hearing. Even though I wasn't
a big fan of how she was combative and on
the offensive, I think you go there and let them
make a fool out of themselves. But I did love
her lying if only you loved America as much as
you hate the president. So I want to give Hillary
credit for loving America, loving peace more than she hates
(23:28):
the president. And I don't really point to her failures
or o Obama's failures. I'm just grateful for the sovereignty
of God, who knew when Trump didn't win reelection it
was the best thing for Donald Trump and America for
him to a be off for four years, b survive
all the law fair and attacks, and then even assassinations
(23:55):
to be president at this moment to achieve this accomplishment.
And it has been an extraordinary day. I mean we
have since had Air Force one to a flyover. Right
at the moment hostage Square becomes Freed Square. I mean,
I've seen it all. Then he breaks out into a
(24:15):
rally in the Kanesset, which turns into a state of
the Union, only both sides stand. I mean, it's been
a pretty extraordinary day. Here's how it all started in
the tarmac as he was leaving for Israel.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
So this is going to be a very special time.
And I guess if you read your own papers and
your own networks, everybody's very excited about this moment in time.
So I'll see you on the plane. I think you're
traveling with us. But this is a very special event.
There at five hundred thousand people yesterday and today in Israel,
(24:49):
and also the Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering.
Everybody's cheering. It one time that's never happened before. Usually
if you have one cheering the other, isn't the other
the opposite.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Uh. This is the first time.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Everybody is amazed and they're thrilled, and it's.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
An honor to.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Be involved, and we're gonna have an amazing time and
it's gonna be something that's never never happened before. So
I'll see you on the plane and we're gonna have
a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Oh he did see him on the plane, and that's
when this exchange took place. We talked a couple of
weeks ago. You were doing an interview and you talked
about how you hope to end up war in Ukraine
because it might help you get into heaven. How does
how does this help? Does this help? I mean, you know,
I'm being a little cute.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I don't think there's anything gonna get me in heaven.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, I feel like tell it.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I
may be in heaven right now as we fly at
the Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna
be able to make heaven. But I've made life a
lot better for a lot of people. And you know,
as an example, had had the election of twenty twenty
and I've been rigged, you would have millions of people
living just in Rushia, Ukraine alone. It would have never happened.
(26:00):
And it didn't happen for four years. And I knew
Poot very well. It was the apple of his eye
that all the things I've said would have never happened.
We had an incompetent administration, We had an incompetent president,
and because of a crooked election, millions of people are dead.
And by the way, the Israeli thing was much harder
to get settled because of the best administration.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So several interesting points to make there. One our early
platinum card listeners got theologically involved in the president, not
knowing if he's going to heaven or not, but to
acknowledge the failures of previous administrations. We can all go there.
(26:45):
I think there was an old movie called Mister Destiny.
It's start Jim Belushi and he's in a big game
in Little League and he strikes out and he felt
like that shaped his destiny and had he only gotten
a home run, and then you see both sides of
his life. What would have happened whether he struck out
(27:07):
or got the home run? And the answer is the
home run would have led to the worst life. The
truth is, we don't know. I can tell you life
is best understood looking backwards, but must be lived going forward.
I don't know who was president for four years. I
don't know how it ended up being Joe Biden. In
(27:28):
an auto pen, I don't know why Donald Trump had
to be off for four years and go through what
he went through and even survive an assassination by a centimeter.
I've always felt like he and JFK were two presidents
that never were supposed to be, and one did get
killed and one was spared to come back as a
different man, a different president, to do the right things
(27:50):
in this time. You know, Donald Trump could have won
that second term and somebody else could be president today,
and the invasion still would have happened, and Israel would
have moved forward without American support, and Iran would be
stronger than ever. The Houthis are to be stronger than
ever and wreaking havoc more than ever in the seas
Hamas and Hesblah in the territory. All I know is
(28:16):
there's a sovereign God, and I celebrate this moment. Iran
has been weakened and the can has been kicked. Hamas
has belund. The Houthis have been decimated. Hostages living ever
been returned to their families. Soon the remains of those
who did not survival be returned to their families. And
(28:36):
there is a hope for and a process towards peace.
I celebrate a sovereign God, and I don't point fingers
at the wood IFFs.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
That.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Meanwhile, there's Kamala Harris. Mamala Kamala is not looking good
for president. She may have an opportunity to go back
and change her mind and run for governor in California,
but her book tour it got ugly. These are Palestinian
(29:11):
protesters accusing Kamala Harris and Joe Biden of lack of
leadership that led to genocide.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
You know what, I am not president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You go to the White House and talk to the well.
Then that led to even more people screaming you're a
criminal of wolf. Yeah, not a good it's I think.
Can we just agree it's been a disastrous book tour
(29:48):
for Mama La Kamala. And then there's George Stepanophilis. I'll
never forget when John Decker said, you know, I remember
I covered the one of the first government shutdowns and
I was getting inside information from the Clinton White House
from an operative. His name George Stepanopflais. I said, well,
(30:08):
not much has change. He's still an operative, only now
he's an operative for ABC. Here's how his interview went
with the Vice President of the United States, because all
George Stepanopflis wants to talk about is not a secured border,
not crime being reduced in cities that are out of control,
and certainly not peace in the Middle East. No, it's home.
(30:29):
And in that fifty thousand dollars cash, what was caught
on the tape you're saying right now, you don't know
whether or not he kept that money.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
I don't know what tape you're referring to, George. I
saw media reports that Tom Holman accepted a bribe.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
There's no evidence of that.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
And here's George, why fewer and fewer people watch your
program and why you're losing credibility because you're talking for
now five minutes with the Vice President of the United
States about this story regarding Tom Holme and a story.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
That i've By the way, can I just interrupt and
say I love that line. You've just been talking for
five minutes with the Vice President of the United States
and all you can bring up is this bribe story again.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Read about but I don't even know the video that
you're talking about. Meanwhile, low income women can't get food
because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government.
Right now, we're trying to figure out how to pay
our troops because Chuck Schumer has shut down the government.
You were focused on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal
wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong, instead
(31:31):
of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling
because our government's shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George.
I think the American people would benefit much more from
that than from you going down some weird left wing.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Rabbit hole where the facts clearly.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Show that Tom Holman didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That is exactly why we say always revealing, often entertaining
that one was both.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
All right, everybody block alone.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Look, you've just got a try hard or not the
show some deaf the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 8 (32:04):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you junior, Right.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Mental Cash, it's your morning show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're listening to bb NET and Yahoo. As he spoke
before the President live in Jerusalem.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the State of
Israel has ever had in.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
The White House.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
I've never seen anyone move the world so quickly, so decisively,
so resolutely as our friend President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Trump. Give me somebody who was up in the middle
of the night like the rest of us. Roy O'Neil
or your morning show correspondent is joining us. What happened
between one am Central and before we ever went on
the air was one of the most extraordinary middle of
the nights I've ever experienced. And then what happened once
we were on the air, when Trump turned into a
(33:02):
rally slash I don't know, State of the Union from Israel,
it was this has been a remarkable morning, do you
care to summarize?
Speaker 9 (33:11):
Certainly has, and we're not done yet since the President
is on his way to Egypt for sort of round
two of this peace process, so it could be pretty
exciting before the day is done, or even more exciting.
But yeah, as you said, we saw the release of
seven hostages, then we all thought, oh, is that all right?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Does that mean more coming?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Are we all done than the other thirteen?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Of course, now we're more hopeful that we'll get the
remaining the bodies of the remaining twenty eight turned over
as soon as possible. Also, the process is underway to
transfer more than fifteen hundred Palestinians who've been held by Israel,
some on life sentences. They're being released, so it's a
it's a complicated exchange that continues.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, I mean that's the part about living it live
in the middle of the night versus waking up and
it's over. When they released seven, I was like, Oh,
this don't look good. Some kind of games are going on.
Then they release the twenty names, then all twenty. Then
the Air Force one fly over over Hostage Square that
had just become Freed Square as the hostages the first
seven had landed. Just an extraordinary day, and now it's
(34:13):
onto Egypt. Whatever happens there we'll cover tomorrow. We'll have
more on the shutdown as well as we enter a
new week with Rory tomorrow fifty eight minutes after the hour,
stand by for your local news. Thank God for his
sovereignty and for the piece we have and the peace
and the hope and the piece that may come make
a difference in someone's life, and cherish yours. We'll see
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
