Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast
two three starting your morning off right, A new way
(00:24):
of talk, a new way of understanding different because we're
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
O'Dell Chorna seven minutes after the hour. Good morning and
welcome to Tuesday, October the fourteenth, on the air, streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del charnal honor to serve you. Jeffreys serving
(00:46):
us all up with sound Red, keeping it on the
content and if you're just waking up. President Trump's returning
home after a Mid East peace plan was signed, hostages
were exchanged and now we're having a bit of hiccup
in getting all the remains of the hostages who did
not survive captivity from Hamas. Meanwhile, the House Speaker, Mike
(01:08):
Johnson is warning against the current government shutdown being maybe
the longest in history. New York Attorney General Letitia James
is showing her support for the New York City Democratic
nominee Zorhan Mandani. And the Mariners are good. They won
last night. Dodgers took game one in the National League,
and the Bears and the Falcons both winters on Monday
(01:29):
Night football. Well, I think it's important, you know, you
start celebrating, and sometimes, you know, things get exuberant, and
you know it's important to take a breath and talk about,
as extraordinary as it was, what was accomplished yesterday and
(01:51):
what has yet to be accomplished. You don't want to
get out over your skis. And so I thought we'd
sat down with Stephen Butchi, who I can no longer says,
filling in for James Carafinal. He's been gone so many times.
I think you're a starter. Now I think he's the villain.
But he comes back. But let's talk about this. So
first and foremost, the war is not over, but a
(02:14):
ceasefire is now in place, and there is peace for
the moment and a hostage exchange. What else has been accomplished?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well before I commented on that, I need to correct you,
which I don't think I've ever done before. This was
not a hostage exchange. This was a release of hostages
for a bunch of convicted terrorist felons, people who had
full you know, they were arrested, they had full trials,
(02:45):
and they were convicted. They're not hostages. They're prisoners within
the penal system that are being traded for civilian in
some cases military hostages taken by hamas.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Just so you feeling, but an important no, no very
and just so you know, we have made that distinction.
But it's kind of like when people call up and
yell at me when I include social Security as an entitlement.
That's not an entitlement. We paid into it. No, I
get that, but it falls under entitlement and the budget.
Most people, just in discussing call it housing. But it
is a very important distinction. They gave back twenty living hostages.
(03:22):
We've given nearly two thousand proven terrorists and criminals back,
and I actually I think until we get these remaining
bodies back, I think they probably ought to halt how
many they're releasing until these bodies are found. That was
kind of the spirit of the deal anyway, but not
(03:43):
a big surprise though, right Stephen, We knew they didn't
know where they were in all cases.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, this was always you know, I mean I had
concerns whether we get the live hostages back. Thank god
they came back. That's a miracle in my mind, because
I didn't. I thought Hamas would play fast and loose
and do some games, but they didn't with the live people,
so big, you know, thank you Lord for that one.
(04:09):
But the next step was always a concern because you know,
we have account we the Israelies mostly, but are intel
feeding into it also of how many of the deceased
people that we still don't really have a good accounting for.
How many of them were assuming are dead? Uh and
(04:32):
you know they're not like they're stacked up in a
mortuary somewhere and have been taken care of by you know,
qualified people. These folks when they were killed or when
they died in Hamas captivity, we're just thrown somewhere, thrown
into a hole, put somewhere. We don't know what the
condition is, We don't know what the record keeping has been,
(04:56):
so you know, Hamas probably doesn't know where all of
them are, but they were going to continue to keep
them on the list so it'd be more leverage. So
that's a glitch. That's that's gonna be something we're going
to have to walk through. And at some point, if
Hamas doesn't know where these people are, they're going to
have to prove to the Israelis and to the other
(05:19):
members of the group doing this disagreement that you know,
it is an honest you know, it's a horrific thing.
But if they don't know where they are, they don't
know where they are, uh, And that's different than them
holding somebody back so they can they'll just mess with
the heads of the Israeli families that were so ready
(05:40):
to receive them and be able to give them a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, I think the social media. Social media gave everybody
a great visual of one young man who was at
the music festival, just athletic, handsome, strong and now what
he looks like, and at one point they had him
digging his own graves. So, but you just don't know.
I guess the bottom line is it's going to be
we knew going in, they didn't necessarily know where they
(06:05):
were too. You're going to have to have some kind
of coalition, go in and search, but even once you
find bodies, identifying them might be more difficult than we think.
All right, that's that. What do you make of these
reports of Hamas? You know, I go back to this
is where you know, I cling to hope and pray
and hope. But you know, I know the enemy and
(06:26):
you haven't converted their soul. All right. They're not denouncing
Mohammed and they're not giving up jihad. This is a
ceasefire in an exchange. But we saw this with a
Taliban in Afghanistan when the US troops were there, they
would say, hey, yeah, just remember when they leave, we're
coming to your door. And that's kind of what Hamas
is doing inside the Gaza even as we speak. Just
(06:46):
expected will die down on its own? Or could this
potentially be something that could upset the peace process because
sooner or later, if they take out some kind of
an Israeli soldier, you got fighting again.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, exactly, or any of the other folks who are
seen to be likely to come in to try and
help administer things, you know, rebuild all of those folks.
You know, you haven't changed those individuals. And even if
the hamas leadership, you know, is their intent is to
not fight anymore, and I'm pretty dubious about that. There's
(07:22):
individuals out there who may say, you know, I'm sorry,
our leaders are wrong. We need to continue to fight,
and they do something. And then the other wild card, Michael,
is the these two thousand criminals coming out. Uh. You know,
those folks have in their mind additional beef with Israel
because they've been prisoners and kept in prison under you know,
(07:44):
much more humane conditions than any of these poor hostages
were kept. But when they come out, they may say, no,
you guys, I don't care what you fat guys in
cutter outsided. You know, you're just a bunch of rich guys.
We're the real fighters and we're going to carry on
the Shiahad. When we get there, they're still out. You
(08:05):
know that that's a none of them have signed up
to say, Okay, we're happy we're getting out, but we
didn't say we weren't going to fight. So there's a
lot of a lot of dangers still ahead that we
need to go slowly, keep a watch on it, and
be prepared to adjust when these glitches pop up.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Stephen Buchi is a senior Fellow at the Hertige Foundation.
He specializes in terrorism and foreign policy. A military he's
a colonel. I will say this, it's different. People thought
it was crazy when he used to say this, especially
in light of Obamacare. But I said the biggest failure
of Barack Obama was foreign policy and especially losing Turkey,
a pretty strategic player. So imagine yesterday when I'm watching
(08:49):
the Turkish President, the Egyptian President, the Cutter Emir, the
Prime Minister of Great Britain, the German Chancellor, the Italian
Prime Minister all at this signing. It was really gratifying
that much is different. We have Arab nations and reasonable
Muslim worlds. The Pakistani President's praise of Donald Trump was
(09:10):
breathtaking because people don't know twice now, once in the
early two thousands and once this year, how close we
came to a nuclear exchange between Indian and Pakistan. If
Donald Trump gets a peace prize, it ought to be
for that as much or more than this, or what's
to come with Russia and Ukraine. But there is a
remarkable coalition that somewhat isolates them. But Jihadis don't just
(09:33):
declared defeat. They regroup and they come back because that
is their worship. They're not in their minds, they're not
evil warriors. They're worshiping Mohammedians. We just don't call them
that anymore. And they're here to bring about victory for
Allah control of the world and or gets you to
(09:53):
submit through taxation. And that's it. And none of that
has been resolved yet. So you move forward and with
great with great caution. Right.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, that that what you just described is not you know,
options for them. That is the rule. That is their
only goal. That's why you know, it was always ludicrous
this idea of the two stage solution that that was
going to solve anything. When these folks that know, really
is only one solution. We need to these Jews on
(10:25):
need to go and preferably feet first in caskets, because
you know, it's our land. We took it over, it's
ours now. Once an Islamic group takes terrain, it's their forever.
That's their mindset and because God gave it to them
and in their mind, you know, Allah provided it and
(10:48):
nobody could ever take it back if they try. That's
you know, this abhorrent heer theoretical development that has to
be rectified immediately. I mean they still want Spain back.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, when they are beheading you, when they are slaughtering
your children, that's like them speaking in tongues. That's their
form of worship. In fact, the only promise they have
of eternal life is to die in martyrdom. So you
put them in a corner. If they can't defeat you
and conquer you, they should die trying. It's the only
way they're going to live. That's why they yell Ala
(11:22):
akbar and land planes and buildings. All right, So moving forward,
what was accomplished? And I'm want to play a clip
for you this it's gonna be the toughest question anybody's
ever done you on radio. I'm gonna play this clip.
Listen closely to the President yesterday because I think these
are the kind of words that need to be guarded against.
I wouldn't go this far. There's enough achievement in the moment.
(11:45):
But watch what he says.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Is not only the end of a war. This is
the end of a age of terror and death and
the beginning of the age of faith and hope, end
of God.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I couldn't help but think of joy w Bush landing
on the carrier, proclaiming the the war was over before
it was? Yeah, am I wrong to be sensitive? Careful
what you say? This ends a two year war, we
get some hostages back for the families, and we have
a vision and a coalition to create a new Palestine
(12:19):
like we've never had before. But the war on terror
is not over.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, not in any way to or form. And it's unfortunate.
I mean, I appreciate his hopefulness, I appreciate his recognition
of the Lord being sort of in charge of this
whole thing, but the I think what he said is
a step too far. One, it'll provoke people to more
(12:47):
motivated to do acts of terror. And two, it's just
it's not accurate until you know, we know, if read
the book, you know, we know how it ends, and
it only ends one way. But it doesn't end until
that happens. So, you know, humans forever, especially Americans, we'd
(13:07):
love to have, you know, finality, we want to have
the signing of the peace treaty on the deck of
the battleship. That's not happened anymore. Starr sure not going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
With war on terror.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It's just not that kind of conflict, So I would
agree with your analysis. I think I appreciate the President's heart,
but I think he should have held back on that one.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, and he better keep a close eye here at
home because this is probably where they'll strike next. Steven
Butcher again no longer a fill in. He's now on
the starting lineup as far as I'm concerned. Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafino is being sent down to Triple A for
too much travel. See thank you, I thank you for
tell that. Tell him that, thanks so much for popping
(13:50):
in for us. We appreciate it. And it was a
great day yesterday. It was a great achievement yesterday. And
there's a potential for a really much better tomorrow inside
Israel and the Palestinian territory in Gaza Strip. But we're
not there yet. This is your morning show with Michael
del Chrono. If you're just getting up and around, welcome.
(14:12):
After signing onto a Middle East peace plan, the President
said Monday, this is a day the world's been waiting for.
Bark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Addressing world leaders in Egypt on Monday, Trump said We've
achieved the impossible.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
This is the.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Day that people across the region and around the world
have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
The twenty point plan has so far led to a
Gasa ceasefire, with Hamas releasing all of its living Israeli
hostages and Israel is starting to release its Palestinian prisoners.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The President says.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Now food and supplies will flow into war torn Gasa
to aid the Palestinians. Trump believes his plan will lead
to greater peace in the region beyond Israel and Hamas.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I'm Mark Mayfield Well, I guess he did achieve the impossible.
Even former President Biden is praising President Trump.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Mister Biden posted on x that he commenced the President
and his team for their work in getting a renewed
ceasefire deal over the finish line. He added that he's
grateful the last twenty living hostages are finally reunited with
their families and for the civilians in Gaza who've experienced
immeasurable loss. The former president closed by saying, the Middle
East is on a path to peace with the backing
(15:19):
of the US and the world, and he's hopeful that
peace endures.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm Jim roup Well. The President prioritized tariffs. He wanted
fair deals. It was one sided around the world and
people were taking advantage of America. Who's going to pick
up the tab for this? There's a lot of revenue
coming in trillions, but unless it comes back to you,
it's still attacks, not just how much will we be
picking up the tab for one study suggests as high
(15:46):
as fifty five percent of it.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
A Goldman Saxon analysis suggests American consumers will bear the
major portion of the costs, as American businesses and foreign
exporters will take on twenty two percent and eighteen percent
of the costs, respectively. The Trump administration has imposed tariffs
on trading partners around the world and claimed that foreign
countries will pay the costs from the levies. However, that
(16:09):
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed last month that
consumer prices in August were up two point nine percent
relative to last August. I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
So this is Big John and My Morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael b Jeffrey and Red Boocket. Hi.
I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to your
morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great stations
like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix
(16:44):
News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland, and ten
ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part of
your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live,
but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast. Good morning, and welcome.
I wanted to kind of just have a little debriefing,
if you will, a little little fireside chat about everything
that's going on in the news that is Unmiddle East related.
(17:07):
That's how much we've been focused on the Middle East.
One is some problems in three big states and big
gubernatorial races. Well all of you in California, and I'm
trying to think we're on in San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. I think that pretty much covers a
lot of California. The early leader in the polls was
(17:32):
represented a porter. Not so much anymore. Things have kind
of turned south for her after a little involvement with
a CBS reporter rather embarrassing, and now even those not
running for office are out pulling her. I think that
candidacy is over before it even started now, whether or not.
(17:52):
I mean Kamala Harris's whole book tour has been a disaster.
There's nobody again. You know, I can't. I don't know
how much I'd have to forget to act like I
don't see the writing on the wall. I never lose
sight of the big picture. Big picture. The Democrat Party
has gone radically left. It had for a time taken
(18:15):
a portion of America with it. It is thirty six
percent radical socialist were keeping an eye on Mom Donnie
because he's not just a socialist and a communist, he's
an Islamist and that's something new that's brewing. And that's
about half of the squad too. So this is a
(18:38):
party at war with itself. But when it comes to primaries,
presidential primaries and how they work and how they hit
the ground running would turnout you would have had Bernie Sanders,
as socialist, be the nominee for President of the United
States to represent the Democrat Party in twenty sixteen. The
(19:00):
DNC that got involved and rigged it for Hillary and
thought they had it won. Then in twenty twenty Sanders
was going to win it again and the DNC had
to get involved kind of deal in South Carolina with
Old Joe fourth in Iowa, seventh in New Amshire hied
them in a basement shadow campaign to save the democracy,
(19:23):
weaponized COVID change election laws, harvest balasboom. You did what
you had to do to save the democracy. Well, this
time the torch has been passed from Bernie Sanders to AOC,
and AOC's old role has been passed to Jasmine Crockett
(19:46):
if she can survive redistricting. But I can see tomorrow
as clear as I can see today and tell you
that the early leader in the presidential polls is going
to be AOC. And if that's shocking to you, you
haven't been watching very closely the last four presidential election cycles.
Now I already know what they got planned. They're gonna
(20:09):
let her get off to a great start, be radical left,
and then they're gonna come back strong with somebody like romy
Manuel paired with maybe Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania that would
make great electoral college map, strategic sense. They may even
depending how he does in the primary process, although he
says he's sitting it out. Sell you somebody like Governor
(20:32):
Moore in Maryland. I don't know, but I think that's
where it's headed. I don't think anybody's interested in Kamala Harris,
and I don't think there's any future for Kamala Harris
and her book tour has been a disaster. But now
(20:53):
we have these gouvenatorial candidates all caving. Maybe Kamala flips
and goes back and runs for God when are in California.
I don't know, but I can tell you Porter's out
and the numbers prove it. Meanwhile, that you know, with
the whole Virginia thing, what a mess right first, with
the Attorney general candidate and his terrible text messages that
(21:17):
he's apologized for. But there's consequence, and I remember read
telling me off the air one time. Oh they'll ignore that,
because you know, at some point you can't get away
with all this without it rebranding you. If Mom Donnie wins,
that now becomes a part of your brand. If AOC
is the early presidential leader, that becomes a part of
(21:40):
your brand. Now you're socialist Islamist, and you got to
own that, just like you stood by a guy that
wanted to shoot the Speaker of the House in the head,
or Porter having a tantrum, or now this in New Jersey,
(22:00):
big big big, big, big, big, big, big, big big
blue state right maybe just got a little bit more purple.
The New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikey Cheryl is facing
criticism after a businessman linked to the Chinese Communist Party
made multiple donations totaling tens of thousands of dollars sixty
(22:22):
grand pin nine. He gives sixty grand to this one
giant leap super pack that's backing Cheryl's campaign in the
form of two checks in addition to giving fifteen hundred
dollars an individual max donation. Here's the problem. Political campaigns
in the United States are only permitted to accept money
(22:44):
from American citizens or permanent legal residents, of which no
one can confirm pin is let alone. The money has
ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This isn't good for
Mikey's little run for governor. How does this affect her
(23:05):
moving forward? And then buried in the story, This same
guy gave money to Spamberger in Virginia, So now she
has her disastrous debate. She won't distance herself from the
attorney general that wants to put bullet in people's head
and watch kids die because they're they're the opposition party
at the worst time in political history, to say such
(23:26):
a thing, and she has the disastrous debate performance and
now she has this. These are three big govenatorial candidates
that you'll just look to those racest Michael are this year. Yeah,
and they just look not serious for the party. And
Red said something I thought that was brilliant. Maybe they
(23:48):
think they can all hide that they can just announce
their running and it's rightfully their office and they don't
have to answer any questions along the way. They're trying
to hide in a basement like Joe Biden. But it's
not COVID, and the media doesn't have any control of
the narrative anymore. And if they fall, how quick can
(24:13):
you get a candidate to step in. There's a running
out of time in two of those three. So we
thought that was very significant. As much as I would
tell the president in case you're just joining us, it's
going to be a little repetitive for those listening to
the podcast. If I was the president of the United States,
(24:34):
there's a lot that happened this week to talk about.
I just wouldn't word it this way. This is the
president at the.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
This is not only the end of a war, this
is the end of the age. Of terror and death
and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,
end of God.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
So as I said, you know, Charni kirkshat he's gone,
and I think turning point, USA's future is certainly in jeopardy.
That's the reality to have a memorial service and proclaim
him as a future president when we don't know that,
(25:18):
or to proclaim this is the beginning of a revival
in America. First of all, the Holy Spirit determines revivals,
not us. And look at the you Know What show
that's turned into online with Candace Owens and others making
everything a conspiracy theory. So if I was the president,
(25:40):
I'd be careful saying the war on terror is over.
This is a time of great peace for God. I
think we had some twenty living hostages returned. I think
we have a cease fire, and we pray it holds
and we have a new future for the Palestinian Kaza
situation that is not a ridiculous two state solution when
one side doesn't acknowledge the other rights exist, but with
(26:01):
a real coalition of Arab nations and reasonable Muslim nations
overseeing this where they can have peace, security, prosperity without
having to turn to terrorist thugs. Now there's still the
Palestinian people to make a choice. They may still choose thugs.
Hamasa is on the ground, still carrying out acts of retribution.
(26:26):
And now we've only got four bodies out of the
twenty eight and we don't know if we can find them,
and even if we did, if we could identify them.
Is that historic? Yes, I'm with the Pakistanian president wanted
everybody to know. That's an extraordinary day, an extraordinary peace
(26:50):
for the president. But we almost went to war with
India and he broke a peace that alone should get
him the Nobel Peace Surprise. And as we said, if
the momentum of peace can get some momentum, who knows,
maybe the year ends with peace with Russia and Ukraine.
(27:14):
And at that point, I think Donald Trump had done
everything he could to save twenty twenty five. And our
polls of plenty the one that we loved the most
was the sixty two percent that believe the government has
too much power, which it does, as we talked about
in our Platinum Hour, first hour. For those that get
(27:37):
up early, the one question we never ask, the one
answer we never discuss what is the proper size and
role of government and what is the role and the
responsibility of the self governed we the people. This poll
comes right out and does it. But what it gives
you as a view of the matrix. When have the
(27:59):
American people in a poll fought the government had too
much power? When Barack Obama and Donald Trump were president.
The more charismatic, polarizing and achieving the president, the more
they think it's too much power. In shutdown where government
(28:22):
is so big and debt is thirty seven trillion dollars
or arguably the most and the best jobs with the
best pay and the best benefits are government jobs, not
private sector jobs. Never mind the overreach of COVID. Are
(28:46):
these numbers up ten percent because the president is using
the National Guard? And of course we got that poll
of plenty we're fifty two percent support the president for
the use of the national Guard. But that's only to
protect federal buildings where people are acting like it's the
(29:07):
American obsession on the presidency. You make presidents king and
the Supreme Court God. You're founding fathers gave you the
people all the power and all the control. Your government
is too big your government is too powerful. You just
(29:28):
don't get why yet, and you better turn your house,
your attention to the house, the people's house, where the
dysfunction is the highest. President was able to solve peace
temporarily or maybe permanently with Russia and Israel. He can't
get a two party solution to solve a budget that
(29:49):
would just kick the can about three and a half
weeks and push us towards thirty seven trillion dollars of death.
I wachh somebody to come home and solve some problem.
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jno. This was sweet,
Brian writes, Good morning to everyone at your morning show.
(30:10):
Thanks to everyone who do all the behind the scenes work.
Well it's just the three of us, the host, the son,
and the skeptic. But anyway, thanks to everyone and all
that you do. I was just thinking about you guys
and wanted to say, have a wonderful day, Brian. That's sweet.
That's very nice. I dug that one. This is for
(30:32):
all the people that like to type rather than leave talkbacks.
You can always email me Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com.
Mary writes, I know that this historic peace agreement is
structured on a whole of region and beyond approach the Saudis,
the Turks, Sunni Muslims will keep peace over hamas overseen
by Iran. The Shia Muslims both have bitter rivalries. People
(30:56):
often forget that Bill is so right to point that out.
You forget how they don't like each other because they
disagree on who the successor to Muhammad was. One is
more of a political Islam, the other is more of
a warrior Jiehattist Muslim. It's going to be tricky to
(31:18):
keep the guys a stable question mark. I think you
know the answer. God blessed the peacemaker Donald Trump. Well,
that was the beautiful Jerusalem postcover this morning. God bless
the Peacemaker with a big picture of the president. That
was after they did the one with all the faces
of the hostages making up his silhouette. Even Time magazine
(31:39):
his triumph Donald Trump's picture on the cover, Joshua writes,
Michael Valentino's is far better than Giovanni's. Food and service,
far superior. Just saying chow Big John is coming to Nashville.
Was want to know where the great Italian restaurants? All right?
Either one we'll give them both. If it's Giovanni's, I
(32:02):
can't treat I'm just getting to keep the emails coming.
Michael Datiheartmedia dot Com. Well, the President returns home. Today's
a big celebration to honor the life of Charliekirk on
what would have been his thirty second birthday. And the
President will give Erica the Medal of Freedom, which is
the highest honor of president can give to a civilian
and a citizen, and that will go to Charlie Kirk
(32:24):
posthumously today. And the government shutdown, according to the House
Speaker two weeks and ticking could be one of the
longest in history. Our national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here
with more on that. And the longer it goes, well,
perhaps the more bumpier it gets, right.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Exactly, and especially as more and more families aren't getting
paychecks for those federal workers. Now, the President has worked
with the Secretary of Defense in order to put together
pay programs for the active duties service members. But even
that's sort of with a wink and a nod.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
But it's.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
A lot of the same rhetoric we're going to hear today.
Two different press conferences are on the agenda, with Speaker
Johnson holding a news conference in the morning, House Democratic
leaders having their news conference in the afternoon, and we're
expecting more of the same. But the Senate probably voting
again today along the same lines on that stop gap
spending bill, not getting those sixty votes that are needed
(33:23):
to reopen the government.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, on both sides blaming each other. So I don't
even know if we've gotten beyond finger pointing of blame
in political theater to the real issue that seems to
distance them. I think honest people would look at it
and say it's a clean resolution. Ten of these Democrats
voted for the exact same clean resolution back in May.
(33:47):
That this is just trying to reverse the big, beautiful bill,
and the way to do that is to campaign against
to get control of the House or the Senate and
legislate it, but not hold the bill over. So I
don't know who's blaming who, but we're not getting anywhere.
And you add to that, you know you didn't get
(34:08):
it in yet. But the wave historic wave of retirements
one plus one plus one air traffic controllers, it's not
gonna take long before this becomes a problem for everyone.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Right, and one hundred and fifty thousand people retiring where
we're leaving the federal workforce, a lot of them taking
those doze buyout offers, but they all became effective September thirtieth,
so it's been a lot for them to try to
keep up with just managing all these retirements that are
still happening, add the layoffs to that, and the shutdown
pretty topsy derby time there in DC.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Well, and if you get it done by the end
of this week, you only got about three weeks before
you're right back at a shutdown date again. Thanks Roy,
great reporting. As always, we're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael vindheld Choo
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast
two three starting your morning off right, A new way
(00:24):
of talk, a new way of understanding different because we're
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
O'Dell Chorna seven minutes after the hour. Good morning and
welcome to Tuesday, October the fourteenth, on the air, streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del charnal honor to serve you. Jeffreys serving
(00:46):
us all up with sound Red, keeping it on the
content and if you're just waking up. President Trump's returning
home after a Mid East peace plan was signed, hostages
were exchanged and now we're having a bit of hiccup
in getting all the remains of the hostages who did
not survive captivity from Hamas. Meanwhile, the House Speaker, Mike
(01:08):
Johnson is warning against the current government shutdown being maybe
the longest in history. New York Attorney General Letitia James
is showing her support for the New York City Democratic
nominee Zorhan Mandani. And the Mariners are good. They won
last night. Dodgers took game one in the National League,
and the Bears and the Falcons both winters on Monday
(01:29):
Night football. Well, I think it's important, you know, you
start celebrating, and sometimes, you know, things get exuberant, and
you know it's important to take a breath and talk about,
as extraordinary as it was, what was accomplished yesterday and
(01:51):
what has yet to be accomplished. You don't want to
get out over your skis. And so I thought we'd
sat down with Stephen Butchi, who I can no longer says,
filling in for James Carafinal. He's been gone so many times.
I think you're a starter. Now I think he's the villain.
But he comes back. But let's talk about this. So
first and foremost, the war is not over, but a
(02:14):
ceasefire is now in place, and there is peace for
the moment and a hostage exchange. What else has been accomplished?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well before I commented on that, I need to correct you,
which I don't think I've ever done before. This was
not a hostage exchange. This was a release of hostages
for a bunch of convicted terrorist felons, people who had
full you know, they were arrested, they had full trials,
(02:45):
and they were convicted. They're not hostages. They're prisoners within
the penal system that are being traded for civilian in
some cases military hostages taken by hamas.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Just so you feeling, but an important no, no very
and just so you know, we have made that distinction.
But it's kind of like when people call up and
yell at me when I include social Security as an entitlement.
That's not an entitlement. We paid into it. No, I
get that, but it falls under entitlement and the budget.
Most people, just in discussing call it housing. But it
is a very important distinction. They gave back twenty living hostages.
(03:22):
We've given nearly two thousand proven terrorists and criminals back,
and I actually I think until we get these remaining
bodies back, I think they probably ought to halt how
many they're releasing until these bodies are found. That was
kind of the spirit of the deal anyway, but not
(03:43):
a big surprise though, right Stephen, We knew they didn't
know where they were in all cases.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, this was always you know, I mean I had
concerns whether we get the live hostages back. Thank god
they came back. That's a miracle in my mind, because
I didn't. I thought Hamas would play fast and loose
and do some games, but they didn't with the live people,
so big, you know, thank you Lord for that one.
(04:09):
But the next step was always a concern because you know,
we have account we the Israelies mostly, but are intel
feeding into it also of how many of the deceased
people that we still don't really have a good accounting for.
How many of them were assuming are dead? Uh and
(04:32):
you know they're not like they're stacked up in a
mortuary somewhere and have been taken care of by you know,
qualified people. These folks when they were killed or when
they died in Hamas captivity, we're just thrown somewhere, thrown
into a hole, put somewhere. We don't know what the
condition is, We don't know what the record keeping has been,
(04:56):
so you know, Hamas probably doesn't know where all of
them are, but they were going to continue to keep
them on the list so it'd be more leverage. So
that's a glitch. That's that's gonna be something we're going
to have to walk through. And at some point, if
Hamas doesn't know where these people are, they're going to
have to prove to the Israelis and to the other
(05:19):
members of the group doing this disagreement that you know,
it is an honest you know, it's a horrific thing.
But if they don't know where they are, they don't
know where they are, uh, And that's different than them
holding somebody back so they can they'll just mess with
the heads of the Israeli families that were so ready
(05:40):
to receive them and be able to give them a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, I think the social media. Social media gave everybody
a great visual of one young man who was at
the music festival, just athletic, handsome, strong and now what
he looks like, and at one point they had him
digging his own graves. So, but you just don't know.
I guess the bottom line is it's going to be
we knew going in, they didn't necessarily know where they
(06:05):
were too. You're going to have to have some kind
of coalition, go in and search, but even once you
find bodies, identifying them might be more difficult than we think.
All right, that's that. What do you make of these
reports of Hamas? You know, I go back to this
is where you know, I cling to hope and pray
and hope. But you know, I know the enemy and
(06:26):
you haven't converted their soul. All right. They're not denouncing
Mohammed and they're not giving up jihad. This is a
ceasefire in an exchange. But we saw this with a
Taliban in Afghanistan when the US troops were there, they
would say, hey, yeah, just remember when they leave, we're
coming to your door. And that's kind of what Hamas
is doing inside the Gaza even as we speak. Just
(06:46):
expected will die down on its own? Or could this
potentially be something that could upset the peace process because
sooner or later, if they take out some kind of
an Israeli soldier, you got fighting again.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, exactly, or any of the other folks who are
seen to be likely to come in to try and
help administer things, you know, rebuild all of those folks.
You know, you haven't changed those individuals. And even if
the hamas leadership, you know, is their intent is to
not fight anymore, and I'm pretty dubious about that. There's
(07:22):
individuals out there who may say, you know, I'm sorry,
our leaders are wrong. We need to continue to fight,
and they do something. And then the other wild card, Michael,
is the these two thousand criminals coming out. Uh. You know,
those folks have in their mind additional beef with Israel
because they've been prisoners and kept in prison under you know,
(07:44):
much more humane conditions than any of these poor hostages
were kept. But when they come out, they may say, no,
you guys, I don't care what you fat guys in
cutter outsided. You know, you're just a bunch of rich guys.
We're the real fighters and we're going to carry on
the Shiahad. When we get there, they're still out. You
(08:05):
know that that's a none of them have signed up
to say, Okay, we're happy we're getting out, but we
didn't say we weren't going to fight. So there's a
lot of a lot of dangers still ahead that we
need to go slowly, keep a watch on it, and
be prepared to adjust when these glitches pop up.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Stephen Buchi is a senior Fellow at the Hertige Foundation.
He specializes in terrorism and foreign policy. A military he's
a colonel. I will say this, it's different. People thought
it was crazy when he used to say this, especially
in light of Obamacare. But I said the biggest failure
of Barack Obama was foreign policy and especially losing Turkey,
a pretty strategic player. So imagine yesterday when I'm watching
(08:49):
the Turkish President, the Egyptian President, the Cutter Emir, the
Prime Minister of Great Britain, the German Chancellor, the Italian
Prime Minister all at this signing. It was really gratifying
that much is different. We have Arab nations and reasonable
Muslim worlds. The Pakistani President's praise of Donald Trump was
(09:10):
breathtaking because people don't know twice now, once in the
early two thousands and once this year, how close we
came to a nuclear exchange between Indian and Pakistan. If
Donald Trump gets a peace prize, it ought to be
for that as much or more than this, or what's
to come with Russia and Ukraine. But there is a
remarkable coalition that somewhat isolates them. But Jihadis don't just
(09:33):
declared defeat. They regroup and they come back because that
is their worship. They're not in their minds, they're not
evil warriors. They're worshiping Mohammedians. We just don't call them
that anymore. And they're here to bring about victory for
Allah control of the world and or gets you to
(09:53):
submit through taxation. And that's it. And none of that
has been resolved yet. So you move forward and with
great with great caution. Right.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, that that what you just described is not you know,
options for them. That is the rule. That is their
only goal. That's why you know, it was always ludicrous
this idea of the two stage solution that that was
going to solve anything. When these folks that know, really
is only one solution. We need to these Jews on
(10:25):
need to go and preferably feet first in caskets, because
you know, it's our land. We took it over, it's
ours now. Once an Islamic group takes terrain, it's their forever.
That's their mindset and because God gave it to them
and in their mind, you know, Allah provided it and
(10:48):
nobody could ever take it back if they try. That's
you know, this abhorrent heer theoretical development that has to
be rectified immediately. I mean they still want Spain back.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, when they are beheading you, when they are slaughtering
your children, that's like them speaking in tongues. That's their
form of worship. In fact, the only promise they have
of eternal life is to die in martyrdom. So you
put them in a corner. If they can't defeat you
and conquer you, they should die trying. It's the only
way they're going to live. That's why they yell Ala
(11:22):
akbar and land planes and buildings. All right, So moving forward,
what was accomplished? And I'm want to play a clip
for you this it's gonna be the toughest question anybody's
ever done you on radio. I'm gonna play this clip.
Listen closely to the President yesterday because I think these
are the kind of words that need to be guarded against.
I wouldn't go this far. There's enough achievement in the moment.
(11:45):
But watch what he says.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Is not only the end of a war. This is
the end of a age of terror and death and
the beginning of the age of faith and hope, end
of God.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I couldn't help but think of joy w Bush landing
on the carrier, proclaiming the the war was over before
it was? Yeah, am I wrong to be sensitive? Careful
what you say? This ends a two year war, we
get some hostages back for the families, and we have
a vision and a coalition to create a new Palestine
(12:19):
like we've never had before. But the war on terror
is not over.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, not in any way to or form. And it's unfortunate.
I mean, I appreciate his hopefulness, I appreciate his recognition
of the Lord being sort of in charge of this
whole thing, but the I think what he said is
a step too far. One, it'll provoke people to more
(12:47):
motivated to do acts of terror. And two, it's just
it's not accurate until you know, we know, if read
the book, you know, we know how it ends, and
it only ends one way. But it doesn't end until
that happens. So, you know, humans forever, especially Americans, we'd
(13:07):
love to have, you know, finality, we want to have
the signing of the peace treaty on the deck of
the battleship. That's not happened anymore. Starr sure not going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
With war on terror.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It's just not that kind of conflict, So I would
agree with your analysis. I think I appreciate the President's heart,
but I think he should have held back on that one.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, and he better keep a close eye here at
home because this is probably where they'll strike next. Steven
Butcher again no longer a fill in. He's now on
the starting lineup as far as I'm concerned. Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafino is being sent down to Triple A for
too much travel. See thank you, I thank you for
tell that. Tell him that, thanks so much for popping
(13:50):
in for us. We appreciate it. And it was a
great day yesterday. It was a great achievement yesterday. And
there's a potential for a really much better tomorrow inside
Israel and the Palestinian territory in Gaza Strip. But we're
not there yet. This is your morning show with Michael
del Chrono. If you're just getting up and around, welcome.
(14:12):
After signing onto a Middle East peace plan, the President
said Monday, this is a day the world's been waiting for.
Bark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Addressing world leaders in Egypt on Monday, Trump said We've
achieved the impossible.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
This is the.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Day that people across the region and around the world
have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
The twenty point plan has so far led to a
Gasa ceasefire, with Hamas releasing all of its living Israeli
hostages and Israel is starting to release its Palestinian prisoners.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The President says.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Now food and supplies will flow into war torn Gasa
to aid the Palestinians. Trump believes his plan will lead
to greater peace in the region beyond Israel and Hamas.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I'm Mark Mayfield Well, I guess he did achieve the impossible.
Even former President Biden is praising President Trump.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Mister Biden posted on x that he commenced the President
and his team for their work in getting a renewed
ceasefire deal over the finish line. He added that he's
grateful the last twenty living hostages are finally reunited with
their families and for the civilians in Gaza who've experienced
immeasurable loss. The former president closed by saying, the Middle
East is on a path to peace with the backing
(15:19):
of the US and the world, and he's hopeful that
peace endures.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm Jim roup Well. The President prioritized tariffs. He wanted
fair deals. It was one sided around the world and
people were taking advantage of America. Who's going to pick
up the tab for this? There's a lot of revenue
coming in trillions, but unless it comes back to you,
it's still attacks, not just how much will we be
picking up the tab for one study suggests as high
(15:46):
as fifty five percent of it.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
A Goldman Saxon analysis suggests American consumers will bear the
major portion of the costs, as American businesses and foreign
exporters will take on twenty two percent and eighteen percent
of the costs, respectively. The Trump administration has imposed tariffs
on trading partners around the world and claimed that foreign
countries will pay the costs from the levies. However, that
(16:09):
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed last month that
consumer prices in August were up two point nine percent
relative to last August. I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
So this is Big John and My Morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael b Jeffrey and Red Boocket. Hi.
I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to your
morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great stations
like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix
(16:44):
News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland, and ten
ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part of
your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live,
but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast. Good morning, and welcome.
I wanted to kind of just have a little debriefing,
if you will, a little little fireside chat about everything
that's going on in the news that is Unmiddle East related.
(17:07):
That's how much we've been focused on the Middle East.
One is some problems in three big states and big
gubernatorial races. Well all of you in California, and I'm
trying to think we're on in San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. I think that pretty much covers a
lot of California. The early leader in the polls was
(17:32):
represented a porter. Not so much anymore. Things have kind
of turned south for her after a little involvement with
a CBS reporter rather embarrassing, and now even those not
running for office are out pulling her. I think that
candidacy is over before it even started now, whether or not.
(17:52):
I mean Kamala Harris's whole book tour has been a disaster.
There's nobody again. You know, I can't. I don't know
how much I'd have to forget to act like I
don't see the writing on the wall. I never lose
sight of the big picture. Big picture. The Democrat Party
has gone radically left. It had for a time taken
(18:15):
a portion of America with it. It is thirty six
percent radical socialist were keeping an eye on Mom Donnie
because he's not just a socialist and a communist, he's
an Islamist and that's something new that's brewing. And that's
about half of the squad too. So this is a
(18:38):
party at war with itself. But when it comes to primaries,
presidential primaries and how they work and how they hit
the ground running would turnout you would have had Bernie Sanders,
as socialist, be the nominee for President of the United
States to represent the Democrat Party in twenty sixteen. The
(19:00):
DNC that got involved and rigged it for Hillary and
thought they had it won. Then in twenty twenty Sanders
was going to win it again and the DNC had
to get involved kind of deal in South Carolina with
Old Joe fourth in Iowa, seventh in New Amshire hied
them in a basement shadow campaign to save the democracy,
(19:23):
weaponized COVID change election laws, harvest balasboom. You did what
you had to do to save the democracy. Well, this
time the torch has been passed from Bernie Sanders to AOC,
and AOC's old role has been passed to Jasmine Crockett
(19:46):
if she can survive redistricting. But I can see tomorrow
as clear as I can see today and tell you
that the early leader in the presidential polls is going
to be AOC. And if that's shocking to you, you
haven't been watching very closely the last four presidential election cycles.
Now I already know what they got planned. They're gonna
(20:09):
let her get off to a great start, be radical left,
and then they're gonna come back strong with somebody like romy
Manuel paired with maybe Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania that would
make great electoral college map, strategic sense. They may even
depending how he does in the primary process, although he
says he's sitting it out. Sell you somebody like Governor
(20:32):
Moore in Maryland. I don't know, but I think that's
where it's headed. I don't think anybody's interested in Kamala Harris,
and I don't think there's any future for Kamala Harris
and her book tour has been a disaster. But now
(20:53):
we have these gouvenatorial candidates all caving. Maybe Kamala flips
and goes back and runs for God when are in California.
I don't know, but I can tell you Porter's out
and the numbers prove it. Meanwhile, that you know, with
the whole Virginia thing, what a mess right first, with
the Attorney general candidate and his terrible text messages that
(21:17):
he's apologized for. But there's consequence, and I remember read
telling me off the air one time. Oh they'll ignore that,
because you know, at some point you can't get away
with all this without it rebranding you. If Mom Donnie wins,
that now becomes a part of your brand. If AOC
is the early presidential leader, that becomes a part of
(21:40):
your brand. Now you're socialist Islamist, and you got to
own that, just like you stood by a guy that
wanted to shoot the Speaker of the House in the head,
or Porter having a tantrum, or now this in New Jersey,
(22:00):
big big big, big, big, big, big, big, big big
blue state right maybe just got a little bit more purple.
The New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikey Cheryl is facing
criticism after a businessman linked to the Chinese Communist Party
made multiple donations totaling tens of thousands of dollars sixty
(22:22):
grand pin nine. He gives sixty grand to this one
giant leap super pack that's backing Cheryl's campaign in the
form of two checks in addition to giving fifteen hundred
dollars an individual max donation. Here's the problem. Political campaigns
in the United States are only permitted to accept money
(22:44):
from American citizens or permanent legal residents, of which no
one can confirm pin is let alone. The money has
ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This isn't good for
Mikey's little run for governor. How does this affect her
(23:05):
moving forward? And then buried in the story, This same
guy gave money to Spamberger in Virginia, So now she
has her disastrous debate. She won't distance herself from the
attorney general that wants to put bullet in people's head
and watch kids die because they're they're the opposition party
at the worst time in political history, to say such
(23:26):
a thing, and she has the disastrous debate performance and
now she has this. These are three big govenatorial candidates
that you'll just look to those racest Michael are this year. Yeah,
and they just look not serious for the party. And
Red said something I thought that was brilliant. Maybe they
(23:48):
think they can all hide that they can just announce
their running and it's rightfully their office and they don't
have to answer any questions along the way. They're trying
to hide in a basement like Joe Biden. But it's
not COVID, and the media doesn't have any control of
the narrative anymore. And if they fall, how quick can
(24:13):
you get a candidate to step in. There's a running
out of time in two of those three. So we
thought that was very significant. As much as I would
tell the president in case you're just joining us, it's
going to be a little repetitive for those listening to
the podcast. If I was the president of the United States,
(24:34):
there's a lot that happened this week to talk about.
I just wouldn't word it this way. This is the
president at the.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
This is not only the end of a war, this
is the end of the age. Of terror and death
and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,
end of God.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
So as I said, you know, Charni kirkshat he's gone,
and I think turning point, USA's future is certainly in jeopardy.
That's the reality to have a memorial service and proclaim
him as a future president when we don't know that,
(25:18):
or to proclaim this is the beginning of a revival
in America. First of all, the Holy Spirit determines revivals,
not us. And look at the you Know What show
that's turned into online with Candace Owens and others making
everything a conspiracy theory. So if I was the president,
(25:40):
I'd be careful saying the war on terror is over.
This is a time of great peace for God. I
think we had some twenty living hostages returned. I think
we have a cease fire, and we pray it holds
and we have a new future for the Palestinian Kaza
situation that is not a ridiculous two state solution when
one side doesn't acknowledge the other rights exist, but with
(26:01):
a real coalition of Arab nations and reasonable Muslim nations
overseeing this where they can have peace, security, prosperity without
having to turn to terrorist thugs. Now there's still the
Palestinian people to make a choice. They may still choose thugs.
Hamasa is on the ground, still carrying out acts of retribution.
(26:26):
And now we've only got four bodies out of the
twenty eight and we don't know if we can find them,
and even if we did, if we could identify them.
Is that historic? Yes, I'm with the Pakistanian president wanted
everybody to know. That's an extraordinary day, an extraordinary peace
(26:50):
for the president. But we almost went to war with
India and he broke a peace that alone should get
him the Nobel Peace Surprise. And as we said, if
the momentum of peace can get some momentum, who knows,
maybe the year ends with peace with Russia and Ukraine.
(27:14):
And at that point, I think Donald Trump had done
everything he could to save twenty twenty five. And our
polls of plenty the one that we loved the most
was the sixty two percent that believe the government has
too much power, which it does, as we talked about
in our Platinum Hour, first hour. For those that get
(27:37):
up early, the one question we never ask, the one
answer we never discuss what is the proper size and
role of government and what is the role and the
responsibility of the self governed we the people. This poll
comes right out and does it. But what it gives
you as a view of the matrix. When have the
(27:59):
American people in a poll fought the government had too
much power? When Barack Obama and Donald Trump were president.
The more charismatic, polarizing and achieving the president, the more
they think it's too much power. In shutdown where government
(28:22):
is so big and debt is thirty seven trillion dollars
or arguably the most and the best jobs with the
best pay and the best benefits are government jobs, not
private sector jobs. Never mind the overreach of COVID. Are
(28:46):
these numbers up ten percent because the president is using
the National Guard? And of course we got that poll
of plenty we're fifty two percent support the president for
the use of the national Guard. But that's only to
protect federal buildings where people are acting like it's the
(29:07):
American obsession on the presidency. You make presidents king and
the Supreme Court God. You're founding fathers gave you the
people all the power and all the control. Your government
is too big your government is too powerful. You just
(29:28):
don't get why yet, and you better turn your house,
your attention to the house, the people's house, where the
dysfunction is the highest. President was able to solve peace
temporarily or maybe permanently with Russia and Israel. He can't
get a two party solution to solve a budget that
(29:49):
would just kick the can about three and a half
weeks and push us towards thirty seven trillion dollars of death.
I wachh somebody to come home and solve some problem.
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jno. This was sweet,
Brian writes, Good morning to everyone at your morning show.
(30:10):
Thanks to everyone who do all the behind the scenes work.
Well it's just the three of us, the host, the son,
and the skeptic. But anyway, thanks to everyone and all
that you do. I was just thinking about you guys
and wanted to say, have a wonderful day, Brian. That's sweet.
That's very nice. I dug that one. This is for
(30:32):
all the people that like to type rather than leave talkbacks.
You can always email me Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com.
Mary writes, I know that this historic peace agreement is
structured on a whole of region and beyond approach the Saudis,
the Turks, Sunni Muslims will keep peace over hamas overseen
by Iran. The Shia Muslims both have bitter rivalries. People
(30:56):
often forget that Bill is so right to point that out.
You forget how they don't like each other because they
disagree on who the successor to Muhammad was. One is
more of a political Islam, the other is more of
a warrior Jiehattist Muslim. It's going to be tricky to
(31:18):
keep the guys a stable question mark. I think you
know the answer. God blessed the peacemaker Donald Trump. Well,
that was the beautiful Jerusalem postcover this morning. God bless
the Peacemaker with a big picture of the president. That
was after they did the one with all the faces
of the hostages making up his silhouette. Even Time magazine
(31:39):
his triumph Donald Trump's picture on the cover, Joshua writes,
Michael Valentino's is far better than Giovanni's. Food and service,
far superior. Just saying chow Big John is coming to Nashville.
Was want to know where the great Italian restaurants? All right?
Either one we'll give them both. If it's Giovanni's, I
(32:02):
can't treat I'm just getting to keep the emails coming.
Michael Datiheartmedia dot Com. Well, the President returns home. Today's
a big celebration to honor the life of Charliekirk on
what would have been his thirty second birthday. And the
President will give Erica the Medal of Freedom, which is
the highest honor of president can give to a civilian
and a citizen, and that will go to Charlie Kirk
(32:24):
posthumously today. And the government shutdown, according to the House
Speaker two weeks and ticking could be one of the
longest in history. Our national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here
with more on that. And the longer it goes, well,
perhaps the more bumpier it gets, right.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Exactly, and especially as more and more families aren't getting
paychecks for those federal workers. Now, the President has worked
with the Secretary of Defense in order to put together
pay programs for the active duties service members. But even
that's sort of with a wink and a nod.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
But it's.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
A lot of the same rhetoric we're going to hear today.
Two different press conferences are on the agenda, with Speaker
Johnson holding a news conference in the morning, House Democratic
leaders having their news conference in the afternoon, and we're
expecting more of the same. But the Senate probably voting
again today along the same lines on that stop gap
spending bill, not getting those sixty votes that are needed
(33:23):
to reopen the government.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, on both sides blaming each other. So I don't
even know if we've gotten beyond finger pointing of blame
in political theater to the real issue that seems to
distance them. I think honest people would look at it
and say it's a clean resolution. Ten of these Democrats
voted for the exact same clean resolution back in May.
(33:47):
That this is just trying to reverse the big, beautiful bill,
and the way to do that is to campaign against
to get control of the House or the Senate and
legislate it, but not hold the bill over. So I
don't know who's blaming who, but we're not getting anywhere.
And you add to that, you know you didn't get
(34:08):
it in yet. But the wave historic wave of retirements
one plus one plus one air traffic controllers, it's not
gonna take long before this becomes a problem for everyone.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Right, and one hundred and fifty thousand people retiring where
we're leaving the federal workforce, a lot of them taking
those doze buyout offers, but they all became effective September thirtieth,
so it's been a lot for them to try to
keep up with just managing all these retirements that are
still happening, add the layoffs to that, and the shutdown
pretty topsy derby time there in DC.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Well, and if you get it done by the end
of this week, you only got about three weeks before
you're right back at a shutdown date again. Thanks Roy,
great reporting. As always, we're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael vindheld Choo
