Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you

(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Enjoy starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Thank you, Michael McCann. It is seven minutes after the hour.
There's no place I'd rather be than working with my
two dearest friends who are very gifted and talented. Jeffrey's
got all the sound. Red, where's Michael? What did you
do with it? Did you notice? Where's Red? Where's Red?
What did you do with it? He's down in the
wine cellar, Red keeping on something and hopefully the content

(01:02):
and of course what we love the most you, Good morning.
Welcome to Tuesday, October the twenty first year of Our
Lord twenty twenty five on the air, streaming live on
your iHeartRadio app Well, aws services have all been restored worldwide.
I noticed my ring cameras working more on that with Rory.
In a moment, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is ruled
in favor of President Trump. He can deployed National Guard

(01:24):
troops to Portland. It was a good night for the Seahawks,
a bad night for the Mariners. The Seattle Mariners unfortunately
still the only Major League Baseball team to never make
it to the World Series. The World Series is set
Blue Jays Dodgers Friday night in Toronto, and a big
win for the Lions and great to see their defense
playing at a super Bowl level like their offense. All right,

(01:46):
new study out on the safest Cities. Before we even
go to royo'nil. They take a couple while guesses I'm
going to say Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, New York, Memphis,
anybody else who want to leave? Taking all on mind, Rory,
how come these studies, how come these stories never really

(02:08):
match the narratives?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, no, I mean all those cities scored poorly on
this walllet ub survey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so all these
because they look at beyond just the crime statistics, right,
they're also looking at what's the risk and threat from
natural disasters, what's the economic safety of these areas. There's
there low unemployment, are people saving for their retirement, do

(02:34):
they have access to healthcare?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Those kinds of things.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
But it also looks at hate crimes per capita, assaults
per capita. So it's a bit of a mix of everything.
Bottom of the one hundred and eighty two surveys cities surveyed,
New Orleans comes in dead last.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Memphis. By the way, this just in I can confirm that.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Go ahead, Yeah, Memphis is oneint eighty one, bats Hold
rouge one eighty Detroit, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, and San Bernardino,
California all there toward the bottom. Philly, Cleveland, and DC
also there in the mix. Some of the safest cities
include Yonkers, New York at number five, Juno, Alaska at

(03:17):
number four, Burlington, Vermont is third. Overland Park, Kansas is second,
and Warwick, Rhode Island is number one.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Overland Park that's just across the way from Kansas City.
There's a Kansas City Missouri, ot A, Kansas City, Kansas.
That's one of the more popular areas. That's a great
place to live. All right, I want to get to
this a WS outage. Where do we compare this? This
is up there with AT and T. I don't think
we realized how many things went through AWS until my
ring camera wasn't working. Well, that really is.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I think the most significant thing here is that people
learned with the cloud services provided by AWS affect everybody,
everything from Venmo to the McDonald's app, to of course
Amazon itself, Snapchat.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
And the list goes on and on and on.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Aw WES really is the backbone for a lot of
these high tech computing companies. Now, the exact reason for
the shutdown is pretty complex. I've read it four times
and don't really understand it.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
But it was this one wasn't a simple refresh, was it. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:19):
No, they were not able to access Dynamo dB that's
the Amazon run database because the DNS had a problem.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Oh, the DNS of the the yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
The name system translates what we Amazon into numbers, and
then that's what where it goes to. So uh yeah,
that's that's the hard and then so It was a
bad around three o'clock yesterday morning Eastern time. Then it
was like, oh, it's getting better. Then it got bad
again around ten o'clock Eastern time. Finally all finished and
cleared up around six pm yesterday.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, it affected my kids at Belmont University because and
everything is online now, that's where you do your homework,
that's where you do and it was all down and
the professors are like, well, it was up to you
to have it done. You know, you have to plan
for outages. And my kids are like, what are you kidding?
So it came up, I want to say, about eight o'clock.
My daughter flew to the back to the dorm and

(05:12):
to her computer to get some work done. A lot
of people saying doomsday, there's gonna be more of this
to come. But in the case of AT and T
in this both it wasn't a hack or anything. It
was just an internal issue. That's what they say. Oh
there we go. See, there's always got that, as Jeffrey
would say, and that's our rumors begin. Rory's going to

(05:32):
be back in the third hour. We're going to talk
a little bit about the president getting his clearance from
a ninth Circuit Appeals Court, as well as thinking about
a career in artificial intelligence. The competitive nature of business
is creating a new work culture and it means longer hours.
Rory has that story coming up, all right, if if
you're just waking up polls of plenty today, we've got

(05:55):
a couple of very very interesting polls, not the least
of which is faverability ratings. So and I bring this
up because I mean, there's kind of like two things today.
One is this deal with Australia as well as the
deal with Ukraine prior to that. This is the president
securing critical minerals so that he's not diplomatically disadvantaged when

(06:22):
dealing with China. So make no mistake about it. This
is good. I don't care if you hate Trump or
love Trump. This is good smart negotiations. And that was
a big eight point five billion dollars yesterday. The other
is when we're talking about the seven million and I

(06:44):
think it was I'm struggling to remember the name. I
think was Angela, Angela Nashville. She put it in chat GPT.
Where did they come up with the number of seven
million people marched in the no kings from the organizers now,
and I'm not this isn't necessarily in their defense, it's
just look, when when Trump has a rally, they do

(07:05):
an online registration. Radio stations, when we have events, do
online registrations. That doesn't mean people show up. It's just
for their planning purposes. And so people can well, I
don't know, I'm gonna be out of town, or I'm
gonna be at a football game, or you know, but
I want to they'll register online for the significant number,
but not necessarily about nobody counted them. And if it

(07:29):
was the same thing, if it was Trump, the media
reporting three million, and when it's the Democrats, they'll report
the seven million. Who knows what it was. Even if
it was seven million, it doesn't erase the seventy seven
million the voted for Donald Trump. So why are Democrat
senators afraid to end the government shutdown because they'll get
hammered by these seven million that want them to fight,

(07:50):
fight fight the king, King, King. What kind of a
party is afraid of its own base? Is the question?
It beags. But then you have all the talking heads
on television going, that's seven million people. It wasn't, but oh,
that's seven million people. That show. That doesn't show how
energized the Democrat Party is. It doesn't show how united

(08:13):
the Democrat Party is to fight. It shows how divided
the party is. United parties energized by issues and candidates.
That's what equals turnout. That's what you need to fear
in the midterm. I loved who's the guy we like
on CNN now has his own radio show, Jennings. No,

(08:38):
Scot Jennings, Scott Jennings. I always want to say, Peter Jennings. God,
I miss him anyway. Scott Jennings was like, you know what,
those seven million they should have been knocking on doors
in New Jersey. They should have been Yeah, that's where
the elections are happening. Look at this. Nine months into
President Trump's second term, voters now have a slightly less

(09:02):
favorable view of the Democrat Party than they do of Republicans.
Here's your real number, not your media narrative, not your
seven million stunt. That was really a three million stunt.
Forty eight percent of likely US voters have a favorable
impression of the Republican Party. Forty five percent have a

(09:22):
favorable view of the Democrat Party. The favorability for Democrats
has dropped two points since July. That's not a sign
of energy building energy towards a midterm. What you are
seeing are the violent, physical signs of a party that
has a derangement syndrome, and that we warned you of

(09:46):
this yesterday. This is not just Trump derangement. This is
derangement towards anyone who doesn't believe like them. For a
party that sold you the lies of intolerance, they're now
mastering your view of true intolerance. Obama, We're a democracy.

(10:07):
We're a democracy, Biden. Democracy's soul is at stake. No,
we're a constitutional representative republic. And then democracy became the
Democrat Party. And now anybody that opposes the Democrat Party
or one of their candidates or one of their issues
is somehow an insurrectionist, a deplorable. This hate will continue,
and unfortunately it will likely get more violent. But what

(10:28):
you're seeing is a party imploding. I don't know what
percentage is socialist. I don't know what percentage is communist.
I don't know what percentage is dependent on government. And
I don't even know what the growing percentage that's Islamist.

(10:49):
But it's all in there, and as it grows, and
as it wins, the parasite will kill the host. It's
the party that will not survive these divisions. But how
any talking head could look at these numbers and go
seven million and believe it. That means unity, that means energy,
that means the Republicans ought to be afraid of the midterms.

(11:12):
And then there's the rast musing favorability for the Democrat
party is down two percent and trails the Republicans by
three percent. I don't know if Republicans can be as
united because this really isn't a Republican momentum. It's a
Maga trump Ism momentum. But I just don't buy any

(11:33):
of this wasn't born yesterday, and through a lot of
elective cycles. I know when a party's energized, and I
know when a party's divided, it's united. Energized parties with
timely issues and timely candidates, especially where those issues fall

(11:55):
like a swing state, that creates a momentum that adds
up to a election results. Look, if you follow the narratives,
you thought Hillary was going to be president. If you
followed the narratives, you thought Kamala was gonna pull it off.
I don't follow the narratives. That's why I clearly saw
it three twelve for Trump. I remember people telling me

(12:17):
you got him winning every swing state. Well, I can't
see him losing all swing states, and if he wins one,
he's gonna win them all. So yeah, I haven't win
them all, and he did. I think you're in the
midst of one of those false narratives right now. That's
seven million goofballs marching against the king that doesn't exist.
A duly then you got that ultimate goofball. Robert de Niro,

(12:39):
he will not he we see it. We see it,
we see it every we see it all the time.
He will not want to leave. He set it up
with his.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I guess he's the Gebbels of the of the Cabinets.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Stephen Miller. He's did he mean Goebels, but lose Gebbels?
You mean Goebel's making up some word. He made gobbles
for the Nazi. Howice time about Stephen Miller, and watch
how he answers His own question was that he's a Nazi.
Yes he is, and he's Jewish. Sounds like a bad lion,

(13:13):
and meet the parents. Yes he is. Looks like he's
talking in the mirror and taxi caab here a taxi driver.
I have nipples? Can you milk me? I mean, this
is nonsense. If a duly elected president with seventy seven
million votes, he carried ninety percent of all the counties,
he won all seven swing states, he won the popular vote,
the electoral college map, and a landslide. He's not a king.

(13:37):
And that kind of idiocy does not equal party unity
and momentum moving forward. And you can see it in
this poll. Not that anybody's going to do anything, but
ignore the poll. Eighty four percent of Republican voters have
a favorable impression of their own party compared to eighty
percent of Democrats, so that's an advantage. Favorability for Democrats
among unaffiliated voters has also declined. This is huge. This
is a tiebreaker seven points, and that number will continue

(14:00):
to grow as Democrats leave the party and become independent.
So keep your eyes on the fix and nothing there.
Oh yes he is, Oh yes he is, Greg, greg
You're outside the circle of trust. This is your morning

(14:21):
show with Michael del Chno. Hi, Yeah, Michael del Giorno,
and say hello to Mary.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Good morning, Michael. You know I can get behind no Kings.
As long as it's no Larry King, no Gail King,
no smoking. You just have to mock the ridiculousness of
that messaging that's got no message.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Hope you have a great day. I know I speak
for tens of thousands of my listeners Mary when I say,
will you marry me? Oh? She's the best. Hey, if
you're just waking up for President Biden reportedly finished a
round of radiation therapy for prostate cancer Mark Mayfiel Testa Tales.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
A Biden spokesperson told CBS News that Biden completed several
weeks of the treatment Monday at a hospital in Philadelphia.
Biden's office announced earlier this month that he was undergoing
a new phase of treatment for an aggressive form of
prostate cancer. The former president turns eighty three next month.
By Mark Neephew.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Meanwhile, President Trump again says there will be no US
troops in the Gosen.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
President was asked about that possibility after there have been
deadly clashes between Israeli troops and Homas. The clashes took
place just days after both sides signed Phase one of
Trump's peace plan at the White House. Trump said US
troops quote won't be on the ground at all end quote.
I'm Jim Roope.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
The Fault Classic is all set.

Speaker 8 (15:42):
Toronto blue Jays will be taking on the Dodgers in
this year's World Series. The Blue Jays advanced after rallying
past the Seattle Mariners in Game seven of the ALCS.
The Dodgers took care of business in the NLCS with
the sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers. Los Angeles is after
its second straight title in third in the last six years.
Game one one of the World Series is Friday night
in Toronto. I'm Tammy Trihuillo.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
I mean, I think for all of us that grew
up playing the League baseball, we can't fathom what would
it be like to be George Springer and in the
seventh inning your team down. It looks like, for the
first time ever, the Mariners are going to go to
a World Series and you get a three run homer
to send your team to the World Series. I mean,
it's just got to be the greatest feeling in the
world and he got to experience it last time. I

(16:25):
don't get that hole. Let's go in the locker room
with goggles on and throw beer in the champagne all
in our eyes. That's tradition. Just you know, do it
the way the Mick did. Grab yourself a cigarette, a
nice ice gold butt light, and you know, talk to
the reporters in here right next to your dirty clothes.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Hey, this is top Cop Kathy Hinters, and my morning
show is your morning show with Michael dale Jorno.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's Michael.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Your Morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
We invite you to listen live while you're getting ready
in the morning and to take us along for the
drive to work. But as we always say, better late
than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast.

Speaker 9 (17:23):
What you've got his is failure to.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Some Democrats you just can't reach. Have a good day,
Michael Garger, good good too. Thank you. Our audience is
the greatest. That's cool, hand Luke right you communicating. I
was just thinking I have my physical today. I come
there to have nitro sox side for your physical, just
for your teeth. A physical would be a lot more

(17:51):
enjoyable with nitro socks for you with the doctor for
both thirty six minutes after the hour. If you're in
the Eastern time zone, you got twenty four minutes to
be to work by a good morning and thanks for
bringing us along with you. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Journal. The AWS system Amazon Web Services
says it resolved its widespread internet outages that caused issues
for multiple popular websites, including Belmont University, including my ring cameras.

(18:17):
Who knows how you were disrupted yesterday, but all has
been resolved. We did get the technical cause, and we
still don't know what it means. President Trump again said
there will be no US troops and the Gaza got
a big victory in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
They ruled the Trump can deploy the National Guard in Portland.
And for Seattle, well, they celebrate the Seahawks Monday night victory,

(18:37):
but they mourn the loss of the Mariners. The World
Series is set, Blue Jays Dodgers Game one in Toronto
Friday night. And how about those Lions last night? Not
just the great offense we're used to, that great defense
to beat the Bucks. Both the Bucks Tampa and the
Lions Detroit are five and two. So for two of
our your morning show cities, you still have what I believe,

(19:00):
if you can stay healthy, the two best teams in
the NFC. All Right, President Trump's going to be making
his first campaign appearance for the midterm election. The President
has gotten an awful lot done in the first year
of his second term. The next biggest thing to get
done is a Russian Ukrainian piece and then seeing to it.

(19:25):
He has a Republican based Congress for the last two years,
so he can focus on the handoff to the next
presidential successor. That's a pretty big task, a pretty big strategy,
and it all starts today. And John Decker, our White
House correspondent to your morning show, will be there as
it gets underway. Good morning, John. I was at the
nursing home yesterday and a rare day. We were watching

(19:47):
news instead of game show Network, and I go, mom,
that's John Decker. That's the guy I work with. There
you were talking to the President. It was we should
probably cover yesterday before we get to today. But that
was a big deal with Australia.

Speaker 9 (20:00):
Well, the President meeting with his Australian counterpart, Anthony Albanisi
in the cabinet room yesterday, and it's an important relationship.
Australia has always been a stalwart ally of the United States,
and the President seemed to get along quite well with
the Australian Prime minister. I had an opportunity to ask
the President a question about the war in Ukraine. And

(20:22):
in addition to that, a deal was announced yesterday as
it relates to rare earth minerals, a deal involving Australia
that will certainly help in the sense that we know
that there have been restrictions put in place as it
relates to those rare earth minerals coming from China. So
you got the deal, and it's eight point five billion

(20:42):
with Australia for rare earth.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
We have the deal with Ukraine. What other deals do
we have? And is it enough to take the President
off the hot seat when he's negotiating. He doesn't want
to be in a diplomatic disadvantage when he's dealing with China.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
Well, China, I don't think it's enough to make up
for what China provides. It's ninety percent of the world's
rare earth minerals come from China. The production again a
significant amount coming from China, but you know, it makes
up a little bit of difference.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
But does it put pressure on China? That's the big question.

Speaker 9 (21:16):
The President's meeting with President she in less than two
weeks time in Soul, South Korea on the during the
Apex Summit, and we'll see if the president can strike
a trade deal at that time when he meets with
President she in South Korea.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
White House correspondent John Decker joining us. You know, John,
you look at the president now announcing he's going to
kick off the midterm election campaign. That could have easily
happened after the new year. For example, I don't get
all the people that see seven million and believe it
was seven million and then translate that to energy, unity

(21:55):
and momentum for the left heading into the midterms. I
think it's a sign of the visions within the party.
I think I agree with Governor Cuomo the civil war
within the party. But has this pushed up the president's
schedule to use his coattails to ensure Congress.

Speaker 9 (22:11):
Well, having control of Congress is very important for the president,
It's very important for any president. President president, and you know,
you're talking about a very narrow majority, and the party
in power, meaning the power the party that controls the
White House typically typically historically loses seats in the midterm elections.
The President does not want to do that with the

(22:33):
very narrow majority that Republicans have in the House in
the Senate, so he's jump starting that effort.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
You know.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
The first fundraiser that he'll have is for Lindsey Graham
from from South Carolina. And Lindsey Graham, of course, has
been a big ally of the President and he actually
has a primary challenge, which is really interesting. I think
this really hurts that primary challenger. You know, the fact
that Donald Trump is all in supporting Lindsey Graham for
his reelection run, and the President's going to be doing

(23:01):
a lot of these fundraisers over the course of the
next two years leading up to that midterm election.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, because you know, most of the President's victories have
not been necessarily red waves or Republican victories. They've been
Trump is a maga him, so his handoff for the
successor and I'm not sure I even know. I think
it was Charlie Kirk by way of Junior, which led
to advance. I think Marco Ruby has always been the

(23:27):
President's guy. But the Republicans will have to figure that out.
But that handoff of trump Ism to his successor and
then using and finding the message to send to Republicans
across the country the midterm election and transferring that orange,
if you will, to red, that's a key. I hope
he's got the message down.

Speaker 9 (23:48):
Well, we'll see, you know, this is I think the
message is helped by the fact that Democrats right now
are in such disarray. Michael, I mean, my god, We're
in day twenty one of the governmentship, and I don't
think that there's a known strategy among the Democratic leadership
in terms of how to end this government shutdown.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
And that's problematic.

Speaker 9 (24:09):
That's going to hurt them as they campaign to try
to win back the House in the Senate.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
And if you believe that the Hills article, they talked
to several in the leadership saying they can't sign a
deal to reopen the government. They're afraid of the seven million.
So you have a party that is afraid of its base,
and I'm not even certain that's its base, hammering them
if they were to do their job and reopen the government.

(24:34):
They can't make this stuff up. John Decker as always,
if you want to hear more, John's got a podcast.
It's called The White House Briefing Room. It comes out
about an hour after we get off the air at
ninth Central, and he'll have more on the busy day
inside the Beltwait today as he roams around the West
Wing reporting the White House Briefing Room with John Decker.

(24:54):
Find that on your iHeartRadio app, and when you do,
give it a preset, just like you do. You're a
morning show. That way, you can find it every morning
if you're just waking up. The Amazon Web Service says
it has resolved its widespread internet outages that caused issues
for multiple popular websites on Monday. Mark Mayfield has our
top story.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
In an update issued Monday evening, the company confirmed that
all AWS services had return to normal. Earlier on Monday,
a surgeon outage reports pointed to ongoing disruptions affecting a
range of major online services, including Venmo, Microsoft Outlook, Zoom, Snapchat,
and Lift. Users also experienced issues with Amazon's owned services
such as Alexa and Ring security cameras. Experts say the

(25:34):
total cost of the outage could end up being over
hundreds of billions of dollars. I'm Mark Mayfield, so.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
You might be asking yourself, how does a president who
secures the boarder brilliantly gets the momentum to cease fire
and peace in the Middle East and is working, you know,
not only to get peace between Ukraine and Russia, but
also get these mineral deals that are so critical done.
How could that same president be the one that is

(26:00):
considering commuting the sentence of Sean P. Diddy Combs. Andrew
Whitman reports.

Speaker 10 (26:05):
TMZ reports that Trump is mulling the decision, although Whitehouse
staff are urging Trump not to did he is serving
a fifty month prison sentence on two interstate prostitution convictions.
Trump commuted the sentence of former Congressman George Santos Friday.
Andrew Whitman, NBC News Radio, New York.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
I could say, please Lord, let him not make such
a dumb decision, but he already did with one, which
makes me suspicious. This is not a made up TMZ story,
but we learn more about the former Buccaneer running back
and Raider running back NFL Pro bow running back Doug
Martin's death and it turns out the Devil's in the details.

Speaker 11 (26:42):
Martin reportedly died while in police custody after being arrested
related to a break in at a home in Oakland.
Police said they were told a burglar suspect was experiencing
a medical emergency. Martin was taken to the hospital after
a brief struggle with officers, where he died. The man,
also known as the Muscle Hamster, played in the NFL
for seven seasons, six with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and

(27:03):
one with the Oakland Raiders. I'm Chris Krajia oh Man.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Take a look at your life. It's been fifty years
since your album Two Nights, Two Nights.

The limited edition release contains six bonus tracks, including unreleased
versions of Lookout Joe and Walk On. The reissue will

as Young recently pulled his music from Amazon. The fiftieth
anniversary edition of Tonight's The Night will be available on
November the twenty eighth through independent record stores and Warner

Crime Dog remember mcgraff, crime dog. He's take a bite
out of crime. How about taking a bite for your
health today, pre Tennis says more, we.

Speaker 12 (27:57):
Are celebrating the humble apple today and the orchards that
provide Americans with more than one hundred different varieties apple
hill growers. As the average American needs close to nineteen
pounds of apples every year. That doesn't include cider, wine
or sauce. And research shows you should reach for the apple.
They have zero fat, sodium or cholesterol, and they're proven

(28:18):
to improve memory and sleep. And they're pretty darn good
in a pie. I'm bree Tennis, I prefer red delicious.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Unfortunately, there's a bowl of Granny Smith's out there all right.
Monday night football double header, last night, Good morning Detroit.
Jamir Gibbs one hundred and thirty six yards rushing eighty
six more, receiving two touchdowns. But you're used to Lions offense.
How about that defense in the second half. Lions over
the Bucks twenty four to nine, both now five and two.

(28:46):
Seahawks won twenty seven nineteen over the Texans, but it
was a bittersweet night for Seattle. While the Seahawks won
the Mariners lost. They are still the only Major League
Baseball franchise to not make it to a World Series,
and at like they would last night until a George
Springer three run homer in the seventh, the Blue Jays
are headed to the World Series. It's gonna be all Blue, Dodger,

(29:07):
Blue and Blue Jay's Game one Friday in Toronto. Birthdays Today,
Rapper Doja Cat is thirty top Gun Mavericks. He was
also on Twister and then he's in some kind of
superheroes thing. Is it Expendables or whatever it is? You know,
the one that's so handsome. Glenn Powell is thirty seven
years old today? Is really Prime Minister bb Net? Yeah,

(29:28):
who is seventy six? Judge Judy? I was going to
say something, but I'm editing myself right now. It would
have broke a commandment. Eighty three years old today. If
it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you were born.
And thanks for making your morning show a part of
your big dape. It's your morning show with Michael del Joano.
Can you do me a favor? Can you replay before

(29:49):
we get to Woody? Replay Mary for me? All Right?
I got Mary for you ready, Yeah, I hit it.
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
You know I can get behind no Kings as long
as it's no Larry King, no a King, no smoking
my favorite. You just have to mock the ridiculousness of
that messaging that's got no message.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Hope you have a great day, all right. Keep in
mind it's three o'clock in the morning as Mary's saying that,
that's Mary in the middle of the night, sure with
what I what I can imagine is the smell of
muffins in the air, fresh brewed coffee, hopeerie, the birds
gathered by the window as she speaks, you know, like
a Disney Princess story. And then there's Woody.

Speaker 13 (30:31):
There is something about Mary's voice that is just kind
of angelic early in the morning. I mean it's like
four point thirty in the morning in Boisey, and there's
not a gruffness to her voice at all.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
You got herselves Beddy in the beast, Woodie, I love you,
but it just made it creepy. So that's when you
go to make it creepy. Oh, there is something about Mary.

Speaker 10 (30:55):
All right.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
I want to talk about this story because how often
is the case, Look, nobody has a kid that just
all of a sudden goes from laughing and playing with
his friends in the backyard to shooting people up at schools.
There had to be signs, and so we often scratch
our head and go where was the family? Or how
about every time we have one of these tragedies, we

(31:19):
focus on the ones that don't happen, you know, like
some good news in the morning, but we get both
from Atlanta. This is what success of preventing a terrible
mass shooting looks like when a family member does the
tough but right thing and contacts authorities. Police arrested Billy

(31:40):
Joe Cagel inside the airport in Atlanta, Georgia, less than
fifteen minutes after his family reported his threat. Caagel had
already entered the South Domestic Terminal and appeared to be
scouting the pack tsa checkpoint area. The authorities in Atlanta
said they averted a tragedy Monday after a man's family
told pull PO he was headed to the airport to

(32:02):
shoot it up and would it police find they found
an AR fifteen assault rifle with twenty seven rounds of
ammunition in the man's truck. The truck was parked outside
Hartsfield Jackson Airport. There were twenty seven rounds that could
have been fired from his weapon inside the airport. Cagel,

(32:22):
forty nine, was arrested on suspicious suspicion of making terrorist threats,
criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, as well as firearms charges.
Investigators are working to identify a motive. Officials said Cagel
has mental challenges, but declined to provide any additional information.

(32:42):
Cagel wrote Sunday on Facebook, I told my kids, if
anything happens to me, sue and they can get fifty
to one hundred million dollars. Caagel's family alerted police in Northwest,
in the city northwest of Atlanta, that he was live
streaming his plans on social media. You usually find out
about these live streamings after the tragic event. This A

(33:05):
family saw it, contacted police, and therefore it didn't happen.
There are people, there are families that would have been
mourning that are not. There are people walking around living
today that wouldn't have been if a this family hadn't
done the right thing and then good police work. This

(33:27):
is good news. I know we're not used to it.
How about spending as much time thinking about what didn't
happen in Atlanta as we do spend time on when
it does, and the powerful. I cannot stress this enough,
the powerful clue it leaves behind. This is what we need.

(33:58):
The narratives are often too simple. It's not the gun
that does it, and it wouldn't have been the gun
this time. It would have been mister Kegel, and mister
Kegel left many mental ill clues, many threatening cues. Everybody
is surrounded by everyone, and we can see these things

(34:20):
coming if we report them. This time they did. This
time did work. The Atlanta Mara said it best see something,
say something. Guess what it worked. We're standing here today
about a tragedy averted, versus standing here telling you about
twenty seven plus lives that have been injured or killed. Boy,

(34:42):
I celebrate that story as a teachable moment, as a
celebrated moment. And it doesn't happen often. But sometimes the
tragedy doesn't have to happen, and doesn't have to happen
to learn something. We can all learn something from Atlanta today.
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show

(35:05):
