Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning shows heard live from
five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work, but better late

(00:21):
than never. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Morning show with Michael gilchorint.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
One hour from now, we will visit with the President
of Peace himself. After an historic week, it's Friday with
forty seven. Next half hour, Sounds of the Day. Got
a lot of clips from that New York City mayor's
race debate last night. It got fiery and early. You'll
hear some of that in Sounds of the Day. If
you're just waking up seven minutes after the hour, this

(01:00):
is your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. I am Michael del Jorno. Honored
to serve you as always serving all of us. Jeffrey's
got the sound, Red's got the the bourbon and the content.
And these are our top stories. Waking up. Former National
Security Advisor John Bolton indicted on eighteen counts of handling

(01:21):
of confidential items, as well as one count of seventies mustache.
President Trump is welcoming Zelensky to the White House today.
He'll be going to Budapest, I believe, yes, Budapest to
meet with Putin. He's moving right on, as he's warning
Hamas to righten up. Our strikes are coming. And he's
moving on to Russia and Ukraine as the next order

(01:43):
of peace and kiss rock and roller. Ace Freeley died
complications of a brain bleed after a fall. Easy for
me to say at the age of seventy four, and
if you fell asleep, what happened to the steel Curtain?
The era of Flacco has begun Cincinnati with a huge
but two minutes to go to steal Thursday Night Football
over the Steelers thirty three to thirty one Mariners, and

(02:05):
Jay's now tied at two games apiece. Nobody wants to
be at home in that series, and the Dodgers can
finish this sweep with a win tonight, winning three to
one last night over the Brewers. All Right, interest rates
they're dropping and more houses are on the market. Buyers
are very cautious right now. Where do we stand with
a housing crisis as we approach the end of twenty

(02:27):
twenty five. Lucky for you, National correspondent Rory O'Neil is
here with all the four to one one. Good morning, Rory, Hey,
good morning. Right.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
The folks over at Redfinn out with the report saying
that new listings are creeping up, but a lot of
buyers still scared away by high prices, even though mortgage
rates not at the lowest point of the year, but
they're still mere yearly lows. We are seeing again some
of that inventory come online, but not a lot of
people taking action. Actually, pending home sales are actually down

(02:55):
one point two percent from where they were a year ago.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
The median home.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Price these days just shy of three hundred and ninety
thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
So we had two big factors, interest rates and supply.
So what would happen is we had the baby boomers,
for example, in their homes all refinanced in the twos,
so when interest rates went sky high into the sevens. Well,
they weren't going to sell because for them to sell,

(03:28):
sure they'd get top dollar, but they'd pay more for
what they bought, plus with the higher interst rate, so
that tied up inventory. So interest rates and inventory have
been kind of tied. And then there's the price of
the home issue, which the fewer homes they are, the
more that increases the price. So you would think with
interest rates coming down, supply would increase and prices would
come down. But that's never the case with homes. Is

(03:49):
it rory? You know, it's always a challenge.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
And you know, the median home sale price up nearly
two percent from where it was exactly one year ago today,
so that's been something else been scaring off some would
be buyers. You know, there's been so much development of
multi family homes apartment buildings. It's giving a lot of
renters more options. Although rents are going up, but that
supply has been going up quickly. We are seeing the

(04:14):
differences by marketplace. In Cleveland, Detroit, and Providence, Rhode Island,
prices are up seven to twelve percent. Price increases year
over year in Cleveland, In Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Jacksonville and
Fort Lauderdale. Prices there are all down.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Where people are moving, prices kind of are remaining up.
Some of those are examples of contrary to that, but
by and large where people want to be the price
is holding. The interstates are coming down, but not fast enough.
And so we've really had the answer. The question is
no real solution yet with the housing crisis. Nope. Yeah,

(04:50):
it's a process.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
The other good indicator is that we now have about
four and a half months of supply. Four to five
months is considered to be balanced. So it's not a market,
not a seller's market, so at least that part is
sort of coming into equilibrium.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now it's just a realtor's market. No, I'm kidding, Roy.
He's gonna be back in the third hour. We'll talk
about the President moving right on to peace with Ukraine
and Russia. He'll have so let's get the White House
today and he's headed to Budapest very soon though we
don't have a date on that as he works on
Ukrainian Russian peace. Next Roy, we'll have that story next hour,
all right, John Bolton, Uh. For first of all, it's

(05:28):
a matrix, all right, let me just acknowledge that. So
Bolton the left. And when I say the left, I
mean Axios, Atlantic, ABCNBCCBSCN, N, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times.
They're gonna tell you this is the tyrant, this is
the dictator Trump, you know, taking out his enemies, whether

(05:50):
he's silencing them or jailing them. And so, just as
he did with call Me, just as he did with
Letitia James, now he's doing with Bolton. Who might be next.
Probably you on the street, see the National Guard coming
to your city, so you know that'll chest up. And
then there's what the guy did. And you know, once
you get in a court of law, these things sort

(06:13):
themselves out because then it's not political theater anymore. What
is he accused of, Well, he was indicted on eighteen
counts related to improper handling of classified materials. According to
the indictment, Bolton was indicted on eight counts of transmission
of national defense information and ten counts of retention of

(06:37):
national defense information, sharing more than a thousand pages of
information about his day to day activities his national security advisor,
including information related to the national defense which was classified
up to top secret levels. And this happened between April

(06:58):
ninth of twenty eighteen and August twenty second of twenty
twenty five. He also unlawfully retained documents, writings, and notes
related to national defense. These documents, according to the indictment,
were all classified as top secret, revealed intelligence about future attacks,
liaison partner sharing intelligence that the foreign adversary was planning

(07:21):
a missile launch, a covert action in a foreign country
that was related to sensitive intergovernmental actions, sensitive sources and
methods used to collect human intelligence, human intelligence using sensitive
sources and methods, a covert action intelligence collected for the
leader of an adversary's national military group. I mean just

(07:43):
goes on and on and on. These are all very
serious charges and I'm not going to read them all.
The FBI investigation revealed to John Bolton allegedly transmitted these
top secret informations using personal online accounts. Attorney General Pam
Bondi said in a statement, there is one one tier
of justice for all Americans, and I want to stop
right there, because this isn't the first indictment and or

(08:09):
the first allegation. I mean, do you remember when they
were digging through Joe Biden's garage and his old what
did he have He didn't have a was that it
should it be corvette? No, corvette, it was a corvette. Yeah,
when they were behind his corvette and finding all this stuff.
So you know, for one, you want this stuff not

(08:32):
to happen in the future, and people to be more careful,
whether it's Hillary Clinton, whether it's a former president, or
whether it's a former national security advisor and an ambassador,
just period. These people should know better how to handle
these types of things. Now, the left will tell you
no one's above the law, and that's why they kept
going after Trump. Now they'll tell you, oh, this is

(08:55):
just the latest victim and Trump's ongoing effort to weaponize
the Justice Apartment narrative narrative narrative. Question is there's eighteen
counts and will they prove it His AOL account was hacked? Well, yeah,
I mean that's why I started reading some of the
I mean this this was like, you know, air strikes

(09:15):
that were coming intelligence to a foreign advisary. I mean
on his AOL account, you got hacked. So he's the latest.
And then a lot of people are saying, wow, well,
who do you think is next? Right, if I said
who do you think is the next to get indicted?
So we've had Kollmy boy, did he deserve it? Funny
he's not finding any rock formations that say eighty six

(09:38):
forty seven anymore. Letitia James, now Bolton. I would think
Adam Schiff would be on everybody's wishless next. I don't
know who will be next, but shift for Fauci. Well,
the Fauci's. The Fauci's the only one I'm waiting for.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
It.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
There, I set it out loud for everyone to hear.
That's the one I'm waiting for. That's the one I want.
Just his immunity though, going back to gain of function
ten years before, why did he need immunity in pardon?
Backdated so far? Because they know how to his birth

(10:15):
back to his in vitro date. All right, we had
a New York City mayor's debate. If you weren't listening
in the first hour, look, I call balls and strikes,
all right. So do I think mom Donnie is a goofball? Yes?
Do I think he's a socialist slash communist? Yes? Overwhelmingly

(10:38):
I think he's mostly an is lomist. And if he
can ride socialism and Communism to Islam. He will and
he hasn't just you know, made little mistakes. This guy's
made a crystal clear he's an Islamist. He does not

(10:59):
have the resume to get this job. But this out
of nowhere young is lomist with a smile is pandering
and he's convinced his city. I can make it affordable
for you. I can make your bus and transit free.
I can make your child care free. I can make

(11:22):
little convenience stores free. So it's pure pandering. Now. The
biggest moment of the debate was and I said, please
just do this one question, ask him where the ten
billion's coming from. Because the governor is running for governor
and Hokal's saying there'll be no tax increases. As a mayor,
you can't raise taxes without the governor's approval. So either

(11:46):
the governor's lying and she shouldn't be elected, or this
guy's making pandering promises he can't keep, and all you
end up with as a guy with nothing on his
resume to suggest he knows what it takes to be
a mayor, not delivering on what he pandered, delivering on
what question Mark frightened to death and so I said,

(12:07):
you know, somebody at least ask him where is he
getting the ten billion to pay for all this? And
he could not explain where it was coming from. I
have the sound coming up in Sounds of the day,
but just to give you an example, here's how it.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Maybe we can dig deeper on this and get a
sense of how all of you would pay for your
big ideas. Mister Rome Dotty will start with you. We've
obviously been talking about free buses, You've talked about free childcare,
city run grocery stores. So essentially, you're proposing about ten
billion dollars in new spending, and as I've indicated, you
want to pay for it with tax increases. But as
Sally pointed out, Governor Hope said no to raising income

(12:42):
tax on millionaires. So tell New Yorkers tonight, how are
you going to pay for all of this?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
In one minute? If you can.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Look, a lot of people have called even my campaign
a non starter when we first began, and now I
stand before you proud to be the Democratic nominee who
got the most votes in city primary history, and I
believe we'll see the same thing with our push to
ensure that we are taxing the wealthiest and the most
profitable corporations the fair amount that they should pay. Now,
there are those who will say that, because it will

(13:10):
be hard, you should give up. We saw what giving
up looked like when Andrew Cuomo was the governor. He
gave up on fighting for working class New Yorkers and
instead caved in to his billionaire donors.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
And what did we get.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
We have the fastest and most frequent helicopter service to
the Hamptons.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Okay, so you can see that he's not going to
answer the question because there is no answer to the question.
There's no way, I mean, unless he plans to raise
corporate taxes high, and then good luck. I mean, you've
already got a mass exodus a business out of New
York City to other states, friendlier states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee,
the Carolinas. But I mean, no answer whatsoever does not

(13:47):
remind you, Michael of Kamala Harris pivoting back to I'm
from the middle class, Yes, pretty much. But as I
said in the five o'clock hour, I suspect most of
the morons who are buying this style over substance and reality.
He probably didn't do bad enough to change the poles
very much. You're about to see, and maybe America is

(14:10):
going to learn a lot from watching our largest city
be duped. Maybe it'll keep us from as collectively a
nation being duped. But he's just smiling his way to
the finish line. We'll have more in our Sounds of
the Day coming up next half hour. Hey, did you
hear the best performing assets of twenty twenty five or
not stocks? They're precious metals. This year, gold and silver

(14:33):
has risen a staggering twenty nine percent, and some experts
believe gold and silver's bull market. It's just begun. Central
banks are even buying gold to protect against the falling
dollar in silver, it's powering the future with skyrocketing demand
for solar evs AIS. Silver is the new oil. So
how high could gold and silver soar? You can find

Speaker 2 (15:33):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chno.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well you know by now. John Bolton, the former national
security advisor for President Trump in term one, indicted here
in term two.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Bolton, who held the national security advisor role during Trump's
first term before becoming a vocal critic, now faces federal charges.
A grand juryon indicted him on eight counts of transmitting
and ten counts of unlawfully retaining national security information. Bolton
said statement, he has become the latest target in weaponizing
the Justice Department to charge those who Trump deems to

(16:05):
be his enemies with the charges that were declined before
or distort the facts. Bolton faces federal accounts that are
connected to the Espionage Act.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
I'm Marknefield. We had our first debate in New York
City prior to next month's vote and Andrew Whitman reports
serially debate fireworks came on the subject of experience. Here's
the thirty three year old mom, Donnie, and.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
The definition of experience is not doing the same thing
again and again and hoping for a different result. That's
actually the definition of insane.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Cuomo fired back.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
In other words, what the assembleingmen said is he has
no experience, and this is not a job for someone
who has no management experience.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
The former governor with another singer up his sleeves.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
And his resume, it says he in turned for his mother.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Then he talk challenges of the job.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
Any day you got a hurricane, you God forbid a
nine to eleven, a health pandemic.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Mom Donnie had a singer of his own ready, And.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
If we have a health pandemic, then why would New
Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to
their death in nursing homes.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Andrew whitt and NBC News Radio New York kiss rocker
Ace Fraley has passed away at the age of seventy four.
The President will meet with Zorhan Zelenski today at the
White House, and then he will meet with Putin and
Budapest no date has been set yet, as the president
moves on to peace now between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
This is Josh and Montgomery, Alabama. My morning show is
your morning show at Michael Dell Jorna.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like wilm and
w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia. We're gonna need
some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e n I, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast. What did that passive aggressive remark

(17:58):
mean before we came back? Redlin, Redland?

Speaker 4 (18:02):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (18:02):
I don't need Ridland. I'd be diagnosed if I need
it a d Wednesday. And then it carried over to
eighty about how much you want me to say about
John Bolton? How much you want me to say about
that New York mirrors. You can talk more about Ace
Trump moving on. You want the whole show to be
about Ace Freeley kind I think it needs to be
about the listeners. Can't have your morning show without your voice.

(18:24):
Sounds of the day or next. But first let's go
to Woody in Arizona.

Speaker 8 (18:28):
If Mom dummy wins, I think not only will you
see the wealthy and those with means to leave New
York leave, but I think you're going to see a
drop in tourism, those coming in to spend their money
in New York. I know I want to go see
the World Trade Center Memorial site and visit Times Square,

(18:51):
but I would refuse to spend one dime in New York's.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Did he go over? He kept going on, As you know,
the orchestra music, if you exceed your thirty seconds will
usher you off the stage. I don't really you know,
I may be wrong. Time will tell. I don't think
he's going to have And he couldn't answer the question
last night in the debate where's the ten billion coming from?

(19:20):
You can't raise taxes on individuals without the governor's support,
and she's promising no tax increases. So that's an awful
lot of corporate tax. So if you're going to have
a legitimate fear, your legitimate fear of what this guy
can do is drive more businesses and jobs, the kind
of big businesses and high paying jobs that pick up

(19:44):
the expensive tab for this city of eight million, and
once you lose that revenue, well then you're going to
see a real decline in the financial capital of the world.
We have a candidate on the brink of being elected
with no financial experience, and crying would be the other
thing I would be concerned about. I think it'll get
blocked on some of this other stuff. It does send

(20:06):
a message to the rest of the country that I
think will be more detrimental for Democrats going into next year.
You know what, we need some positive thought, Give me
a little bit of flip Flip will get everybody's mind
at ease about the future.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
He actually not today what tomorrow may bring, be its shadow,
sunshine or rain. But I do know my Jesus rules everything.
In all of my worry is vain, for I'm living
by faith in Jesus, above trust, and confiding in His.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Great lighting love. You know, when you get Flip to
come back and do a dramatic reading of the lyrics
of Ace Frehley's that would be hilarious. Back in the
New York Groove, in my back of my Cadillac, a
wicked lady sitting by my side, saying where are we

(21:02):
stop at third and forty three?

Speaker 10 (21:06):
Exit the night. It's gonna be ecstasy. This place was
meant for you and me. I'm back back in the
New York group.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
We will Maybe you're right.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
The show could go either way, couldn't show goes one
of two ways. Today read Oh, I'm like, peak doesn't
make even chance. I hope you'll have attained all right.
So you had Mom, Donnie, you had Cuomo. I have
an email just before we even start doing all of this,

(21:44):
Blake writes, how pathetic for a city of eight million,
we got a communist islamis the guy who killed Grandma
and the proverbial candidate Curly Laron M. Blake in Arizona. Yeah,
and it could happen in Phoenix too, So and you
to stand up for what's right, speak what's right, and
vote what's right. All right, So this is what we're
down to now. Everybody forgets the Shenanigan they played Mom

(22:08):
Donnie's going to brag about how he's there representing the
Democrat party. He would have lost in a normal primary process.
They used voter rank to create this, which forced Cuomo
and the sitting mayor to become independents in order to
block this. Otherwise there would have been a runoff between

(22:28):
just Cuomo and him, and he would have got eliminated.
So this is a party Shenanigan, and the party is
now owning it as a problem. I mean, you've got
a governor endorsing this goofball who's wanting to raise ten
billion dollars of taxes, as she's pledging I'll raise no taxes,
and he can't do it unless she allows it. Somebody's lying.

(22:51):
What I loved most about the debate was the question
I wanted, asked, asked, and the answer given was the
answer I expected, a void.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Maybe we can dig deeper on this and get a
sense of how all of you would pay for your
big ideas. Mister Rume, Donnie will start with you. We've
obviously been talking about free buses, You've talked about free childcare,
city run grocery stores. So essentially, you're proposing about ten
billion dollars in new spending, and as you've indicated, you
want to pay for it with tax increases. But as
Sally pointed out, Governor Hope said no to raising income

(23:21):
tax on millionaires. So tell New Yorkers tonight how you're
going to.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Pay for all of this in one minute, if you can. Look.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
A lot of people have called even my campaign a
non starter when we first began, and now I stand
before you proud to be the Democratic nominee who got
the most votes in city primary history. And I believe
we will see the same thing with our push to
ensure that we are taxing the wealthiest and the most
profitable corporations the fair amount that they should pay. Now,
there are those who will say that, because it will

(23:49):
be hard, you should give up. We saw what giving
up looked like when Andrew Cuomo was the governor. He
gave up on fighting for working class New Yorkers and
instead caved in to his billionaire donors.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
And what did we get.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
We have the fastest and most frequent helicopter service to
the Hamptons, and we have the slowest and more expensive
bus service across the five boroughs.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
That's it. He's all lines, he's all talking points. Here's
another great moment you don't want to miss.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
First for mister Mum Donnie, because of something you said
that's been generating headlines in the news today as we
come into the debate.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yesterday and Fox News.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
You were asked if Hamas should lay down its weapons
key to the peace plan and cease fire, and some
say they found your answer confusing. You said, quote, I
don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and
Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and the
fact that anything has to abide by international law, and
that applies to Hamas and that applies to the Israeli military.

(24:48):
So for the voters tuning in tonight, mister Mumdani, what
do you believe about Hamas and how lasting.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Peace will be achieved.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Well, we know it's a complicated matter, but we'd like
to keep your answer to a minute.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
If you heard, of.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Course, I believe that they should lay down their arms.
I'm proud to be.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
By the way, that's a remarkable shift. He wouldn't answer
that question twenty four hours earlier, obviously didn't like the
way the avoidance played. Now he has an answer, of course,
they should lay down their weapons.

Speaker 6 (25:18):
One of the first elected officials in the state who
called for a ceasefire, and calling for a ceasefire means
seizing fire. That means all parties have to cease fire
and put down their weapons. And the reason that we
call for that is not only for the end of
the genocide, but also an unimpeded access of humanitarian aid. I,
like many New Yorkers, I am hopeful that this ceasefire will hold.

(25:41):
I'm hopeful that it is durable. I'm hopeful that it
is just, and for it to be just, we also
have to ensure that it addresses the conditions that preceded this,
conditions like occupation, like the siege and apartheid, and that.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Is apartheid, siege, occupation. He's an Islamist. He's on the
side of Amas, and the only reason he thinks Samas
should put down his weapons is not to cease jihad
and so that humanitarian efforts can get in to the

(26:16):
Muslims in the area, because they chose a terrorist arm
of Iran and they invaded Israel and they raped and
slaughtered and kidnapped and started this war. Remember when I
said the one question no one will ask. Why doesn't
something just ask him? Are you an Islamist? Now I

(26:37):
hate when I have to stop and explain this. But
what we used to not say Muslims. We used to
say Mohammedans, but that became problematic. Why which mohammedan see
Mohammed lived three contradictory lives. Early on and Mecca, he

(27:02):
was one of many religions, very tolerant, kind of took
a little bit of Christianity, a little bit of Buddhism,
a little bit of Judaism combined it all that all
of a sudden he starts robbing and taking and demanding,
Now you don't have a choice, or else pay up.

(27:23):
That was the political formation. Then he became a bloodthirsty
warrior and by Medina jihad conquered the world. And the
only assurance of eternal life is dying in the cause
of Muslim overtaking of the world. That's it. So now

(27:44):
you have three contradicted examples of the prophet, and that's
why you have three different kinds of Muslims, peace loving
political to play for the future. They populate, infiltrate, agitate,
wage war. I think the time is right. Conquer the
jihadist will kill you today, Mom, Donnie to me strikes

(28:08):
me as the third. But remember when you say Islamist,
you're not talking about a Muslim of peace loving Muslim.
You're talking about one with the beliefs in the system
of life. There is no freedom of speech, there is
no right of assembly, there is no innocent till proven guilty,
there is no due process, there is no freedom of religion.

(28:31):
It is absolutely the opposite of everything we stand for
and Israel, and that's why he's on the side he's on,
and that's why we don't say mohammedans anymore. Now. The
problem always is you don't know which profit they're following
until they act, and sometimes that's too late. But there's

(28:51):
mom donni. He does flip twenty four hours later, and
yes they should disarm. But I thought his explanation for
that tells you everything you need to know. Now, most
people haven't studied the head to eat, the Surahs and
the history, so he might have gotten away with it.
Certainly the fifty percent that are supporting him, they don't
get any of that. They think they're gonna get a

(29:12):
free bus. But I saw through it. But why don't
they just ask him? Are you in Islamist? And what
is that could be helpful? By the way, was anyone
that noticed that the woman that was doing the signing
sometimes sometimes she was making faces like she was smelling
something because she wasn't buying any of this.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
I am looking to work with police officers, not to
defund the NYPD, looking to ensure that officers can actually
do one job when they're signing up to join that department.
I am looking to work with police officers, not to
defund the NYPD, looking to ensure that officers can actually
do one job when they're signing up to join that department.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
And I have no idea what that in and of
itself means. And when he talks about cutting police forces
and adding psychiatrists and social workers, how that plays out.

(30:14):
He has some word salad about how well the one
compliments the other. But we'll we'll see how that plays
out for New York. That's why I say, at the
end of the day, I don't know, but I worry
about the taxation and the freebies as much as the
rise and crime or him imposing high corporate tax rates
that has more big business and big earners leave that

(30:37):
state to go to other businesses. I don't know. If
I have time to do this, Red pick one, I'll
pick it. We also had the I'm not as into
this as Red was, but this guy's done. But Jay Jones,
he's the one that did the awful text messages, so
they had their Attorney general debate as well. It's already over.

(30:58):
Jay Jones is not going to survive these tech messages
that surfaced. Why the party doesn't get rid of him,
I don't know, because it's about to tank the governor's
race as well as the gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats
is tanking herself. But listen, he.

Speaker 11 (31:09):
Keeps saying that he is sorry. Jay, If you're really sorry,
you wouldn't be running if you really understood the ramifications
of what you said about an innocent mom and her children.
You know Todd Gilbert, you served with him. Jennifer would
come to the General Assembly, she would bring her children.
We would see them run on the hallways. They were

(31:30):
two and five years old at the time. This wasn't
a hypothetical. This wasn't some figure that you know from
far away. You actually know Todd. This is a flesh
and blood, real husband. Jennifer is a real mom. These
are real kids. How in the world could you ever
show compassion and comfort a grieving mother that has ever

(31:50):
lost a child of violence? Because Virginians, there is no
cry like the cry of a mother that has lost
her child.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Now, I will tell you this. He's the incumbent, he's
a Republican. He was trailing, now he's leading. But Jason
does a great job of humanizing this revelation of texts,
just like the candidate running for governor has done a
great job of humanizing it, and the Democratic candidate standing

(32:19):
there wouldn't answer. Now they've turned into a TV commercial.
Make no mistake about it. These text messages reveal a
lot about Jay Jones, and he will not be Attorney
General of Virginia because of it. The question is why
have they allowed him to tank all the races in
Virginia and things don't look much better. I might add
in New Jersey or California.

Speaker 11 (32:44):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty box, they're a little bit Any of.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
You in the media clearly missed the art of the deal.
It's going to work out.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
It's your morning show with Mike, you know.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Like in bed last night. Two things I thought I
would never do. Recite the lyrics back in the New
York groove as a Southern Baptist preacher, or sing the
song as Kermit the Frog, And yet I've done both
already this morning. If you're just waking up. It is
fifty five minutes after the hour, and these are your
top five stories of the day. The former National Security

(33:21):
Advisor John Bolton says he's just the latest victim and
what he describes as President Trump's ongoing effort to weaponize
the Justice Department translation narrative, narrative, narrative because he got indicted, indicted,
and diicted.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Bolton, who held the National Security Advisor role during Trump's
first term before becoming a vocal critic, now fasis federal charges.
A grand jurion indicted him on eight counts of transmitting
and ten counts of unlawfully retaining national security information. Bolton
said in a statement he has become the latest target
in weaponizing the Justice Department to charge those who Trump
deems to be his enemies with the charges that were

(33:57):
declined before or distort the Factslton faces federal accounts that
are connected to the Espionage Act.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm Mark Meanfield, White House borters are Tom Holman is
denying allegations that he ever accepted a bribe.

Speaker 12 (34:09):
During a recent News Nation town hall, Homan denied accepting
a fifty thousand dollars bribe from undercover FBI agents in
exchange for contract promises. He says he's never accepted that's
sum of money from anybody. He also says he has
no idea how the allegations began spreading, but notes he's
been the target of dozens of quote unquote hit pieces
in recent months. The borders are also says he's not

(34:31):
angry about the claims, and he says he doesn't care
about what people think about him. I'm Jim Roup.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
There's no end in sight to this government shutdown, and
White House correspondent John Decker says President Trump is content
for now to have a hands off approach. He's leaving
it up to the leaders of Congress to find some
sort of compromise to fund the government, to reopen the government,
and that hasn't happened yet. Kiss rocker Ace Freeley is
dead at the age of seventy four.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
His death was confirmed in a statement from his family.
In September, Freiley announced he was pausing his solo tour
due to a minor fall in his studio. The guitarist
was one of the founding members of Kiss in nineteen
seventy three. Frayley left Kiss in nineteen eighty two, and
eventually started a solo project, which became known as Frehley's Comment.
He rejoined Kiss in nineteen ninety six for a reunion tour,

(35:25):
only to exit again in the early two thousands.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Crailey's cover of New York Grew from his nineteen seventy
eight solo album was one of his biggest hits. I'm
Mark Neepield.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
