Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
This is your.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Morning show with Michael O'Dell Jornan.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think the googlatorial candidate in Virginia is on nitrous
ox side. She's acting a little crazy. Seven minutes after
the hour. I don't know what happened last hour, but
I can control this hour.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Sex.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome to Wednesday, October, the
twenty second year of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Good morning,
Thanks for making us a part of your morning routine.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal. They
can't be like Bob. That's all I really want is
to be heard, listened to, maybe held a little bit.
I lost a left arm that was perfectly healthy before
(01:10):
I went to the doctor. I've lost my hearing in
my left ear. That was perfectly fine before I was
sent to get wax taken out. I just needed to
be heard, and only Bob in Mississippi was sensitive enough
to listen to me. Now we pres yeah, thank you,
we own it. We pressed on. Now, towards day twenty
two of the government's shutdown, we have one Senator, Jeff Merkley,
who plans to speak all night long, more political theater,
(01:32):
and no statesman or gentlemen in the room to solve problems.
Millions of Americans who rely on snap food assistants will
soon be impacted by the shutdown, and Barack Obama sitting
the campaign trail trying to help two Democratic candidates running
for governor in New Jersey and Virginia. And trust me,
they both need the help. Flight delays, cancelations they're starting
(01:53):
to increase. That's putting pressure on lawmakers to rio open
the government. Our national correspondent Roy o'neilis is here to
take a look at how the government shutdown is beginning.
It's beginning to affect the average Americ. Ken, I haven't
sung for you in a long time have I Yeah,
thanks for that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Nineteen thousand flights were delayed between Saturday and Monday, sixteen
hundred cancelations. Transportation Secretary Duffy says they are seeing much
higher absentee rates among air traffic controllers. As he says,
many of them, after working a full week, then have
to go work jobs driving for Uber or door dash
delivery to make some sort of cash in order to
(02:33):
put gash in the tank and buy lunch while on
the job. So it's more and more of a struggle
for these air traffic controllers. And this is something that
these members of Congress will notice because these members of
Congress are also members of frequent flyer programs, Right, they're
at airports all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And they can see this with their own eyes. Yeah,
and they're getting to the airport in an Uber driven
by what once was an air traffic controller. You can't
make this up, all right. And then there's the report
about snap too in food assistance that could soon have
a disruption. So this, I guess the question is this
is second longest in history. What happened in the longest
in history and about what time? Twenty two days.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
In Yeah, so the last one wrapped up after thirty
five days, and that was the twenty eighteen into twenty nineteen.
A lot of that had to do with the incoming
Congress and the and also though the air traffic controller
issue and trying to get that resolved. So we'll see
what the motivating factor is here. Maybe the fact that
the Thanksgiving holiday travel period is coming up, but that's
(03:34):
still going to require Congress to come back. You know,
a lot of people are now not happy with this
November twenty first deadline. They say that this really doesn't
solve the problem anymore. They're going to need more time
for full bills, full spending bills for the year ahead.
So if you do want to change November twenty first,
which is what the House passed, that means they got
to bring the House back to vote on a new date.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And of course that means they got to swear in
the new lady from Arizona and that own mass What
a mess, all right? So what we have is not
checks and balances. That we have is not you know,
even I don't know, partisan political strategy, which you have
is complete dysfunction, all right. So if they don't and
(04:15):
there's so many ways to slice this cake. But yeah, conceivably,
after all this, you could reopen the government. And if
you don't address November twenty first, you're right back here again.
That'll show you the level of and competence and dysfunction
we're in. The President signified yesterday and he met with
some Republican senators, but he also mentioned how, you know,
(04:38):
we like where things are at. Well, fund whatever we
need to fund, and we do fund what we want
to fund, and we don't fund what we don't want
to fund. Meanwhile, on the Democrat side, they acted like,
you know, according to the Hill story, they can't settle
too fast because their base wants them to fight, fight, fight,
and they're afraid of their base, afraid of their own
base and their own party. Something's got to give, and
(05:01):
perhaps these new pressures will be what breaks it makes
a give. That's the hope anyway, right it is.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
And you know we have heard more senators on the sidelines,
not the leadership ones Democrats and Republicans, saying, you know,
how do we get our way out of this and
try to reach some sort of accommodation here again, I mean,
some have suggested to a continuing resolution through next September
and just totally kick the can down, not addressing the
spending issues at all. So yeah, it's a broad range
(05:29):
of ideas being floated around, but you really can't too
much of anything else without the House coming back into session,
because you really can't even negotiate with really just that
one option for senators.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I got a very interesting poll that I'm gonna sare
with the audience here in a second. Rory's gonna be
back in the third hour. What's the beef that American
ranchers have with President Trump's trade policy? Rory has the
story in our third hour. We'll talk to him then. Yeah,
this is a nice companion piece to what we're talking about.
So you'll see like Jeffries and Schumer have a news
(06:00):
conference and you know, it's like stop the Trump shut down,
which is a silly game to play. There has been
no research that shows this shutdown is hurting Donald Trump
at all. It's viewed partisanly. Now you can follow who's
blaming Republicans, who's blaming Democrats. It mostly falls right down
(06:23):
party line, with a slight tilt towards there's a growing
blame for Democrats. So they're not getting away with the narrative,
just stand up to the president, just stonewall, stop him,
fight him, not when they're trying to get on a plane,
(06:43):
not when their air traffic controller is driving the ruber.
So time is not on the Democrat side on this dysfunction,
let alone this issue. But what a joke the strategy
to blame this on Trump, which isn't working when fifty
one percent of the American people want the government shutdown
(07:04):
to continue. I said, this would be their worst nightmare
if there was ever an awakening to the fiscal dysfunction
in Washington. Every time we have a shutdown, it's the
only time we ever and we still don't. This show does,
But most shows don't ever discuss the proper size and
(07:26):
role of government, ever discuss the role and the responsibility
of we the people, the self governed. Never do we
stop and discuss a balanced budget as the constitution requires,
maybe even get real smart and as zero base to
(07:47):
prioritize budget that coincides with the two year terms of
the House. No continuing resolutions, no government shutdowns, shutdowns that
are solved two weeks before the next shutdown, A zero
based by law balanced budget tied to the two year
(08:08):
legislative session, or even worse for them if they ever
wake up and realize, well, when there's a government shutdown,
it's a partial shutdown and only essential government continues, and
it begs the question, why does anything but you know,
essential government even exist. So there's a million things that
(08:29):
can be going through your head. When you see a
poll fifty one percent wile the government shutdown to continue,
your first thought is could they be finally getting smarter?
And then you will open it up. A narrow majority
of voters, including two thirds of Democrats two including I
would have probably worded it this way. A narrow majority
(08:52):
driven by two thirds of the Democrats, are in favor
of having the shutdown continue. No, I don't believe in
governing by polls, but I assure you if they're afraid
of their base, and their base is telling them, if
(09:12):
you settle and reopen the government, we're coming after you.
Imagine that party representatives afraid of their own base. That
says a lot about the civil war within the Democrat Party.
But their clear messages our base has gotten radical, and
our radical base wants us to fight Trump. We're gonna
(09:35):
have a visit with David Zanati because This isn't even
the beginning, This isn't even the middle. It's the tip
of the iceberg of what the true Democrat strategy is.
And they will stop at nothing. They don't care if
your food stamps get cut off. They'll blame it on
(09:56):
Trump and your kids will starve. Two thirds you want
to talk about the matrix. Two thirds of Democrats want
this shutdown to continue. No wonder the Democrats aren't willing
to just continue the resolution. It's a clean resolution, it's
the same one ten of them supported five months ago.
(10:20):
So overall, fifty one percent of likely voters approve of
continuing the shutdown, and that includes thirty one percent who
strongly approve, forty one percent disapprove, including twenty nine who
strongly disapprove. If you throw out the middle, thirty one
percent strongly approve, twenty nine percent strongly disapprove. That's America divided,
(10:41):
passionately divided, and of course the right wants it open
and the left once it closed. For the past three weeks,
Democrats and the Senate have repeatedly voted to maintain a
filibuster to continue the government shutdown until their demands are met.
Sixty six percent of Democratic voters approve of continuing the shutdown,
(11:05):
compared to forty one percent of Republicans and forty four
percent of non affiliated with either major party. Fifty three
percent of Republicans, twenty four percent of Democrats, and forty
seven percent of unaffiliated voters disapprove of letting the government
shutdown continue. Eighty three percent of voters say that they've
been closely following the recent news reports about the federal
(11:28):
government shutdown, including forty eight percent who have been following
the news very closely now Wish news source. They're following translation,
They're following the narratives and the political theater closely. Among
those who have very very closely followed news about the shutdown,
fifty six percent of percent agree and approve of avvy
(11:51):
having it continue. And despite the fact that more than
half of voters apparently approve of maintaining the shutdown, most
say they want to conclude quickly. I mean, this is
right up there with another poll we have the majority
of Americans see the need for a third party but
offer soft support. Of course, that's like saying I'm gonna
(12:15):
open up a new pizza place and you've never had
my pizza. You don't know that there's a need for
my pizza in your life. Your pizza needs are being
met or have traditionally just become a habit, and then we
do Papa John's, we go to Nashville Pizza if we're
in person or mellow Mushroom. Now, what I'd like to
(12:41):
see the discussion turned to is a no party system,
an American system. Partisan affiliation is obviously a factor in
the response to the question. Forty one percent of Democrat
voters believe Republican senators should agree to all the democrats
demands unreasonable. Fifty percent of GOP voters don't want to
yield to any of the Senate Democrat demands. Unaffiliated voters,
nineteen percent think Republicans in the Senate should agree to
(13:03):
all the demands of Democrats, thirty six percent say Republican
senators should agree to some, and thirty three percent believe
Republicans should not agree. Translation. May I and I try
never to because I want you to land the planes
around here. But seeing is it's an air traffic control crisis.
Now let me land the plane for you. We have
(13:25):
two parties dysfunctionally divided and incapable of functioning, serving a
country that is completely divided, dysfunctional and incapable of being led.
All right, that's one of our polls and our polls
of blenty today kick that one around with David Sanati
(13:46):
as well. This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
The Louver or is Louverro as it should be pronounced,
is back open in Paris, but without the Crown jewels
over one hundred million dollars. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Thieves broke into the museum's Sunday morning shortly before it
opened to the public. They're thought to have gained entry
through an upstairs window using some type of mechanical lift.
Among the items stolen were Crown jewels and pieces that
two Napoleons gave to their wives. French President Emmanuel mccrolan
says a robbery was an attack on France's heritage.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A judge on the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals, is asked that the case involving the National
Guard troops in Portland be heard by the full court.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Attorneys for Portland, the State of Oregon, and the federal
government have been asked to present briefs on the issue
by the end of the day Wednesday. Twenty nine judges
on the Court would then vote to determine if there
would be a full review by the court. If that happens,
eleven judges would hear the case. A three judge panel
ruled President Trump has the authority to deploy the National
Guard at Portland and the courts couldn't stop it. I'm

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Former Today Show host Brian Gumbel is in the hospital
after suffering a medical emergency, Liz Warner reports.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
CMZ has reported that Gumble was taken from his men
An apartment to the hospital Monday night. The seventy seven
year old broadcasters' condition remains unknown, although a family member
reportedly said Gumble is okay. He served as a co
host on the popular morning show for fifteen years, and
he also had his own show on HBO. Gumble underwent
surgery for lung cancer in two thousand and nine. His brother,
(15:20):
longtime CBS sports anchor Greg Gumbel, passed away last year
from pancreatic cancer. Liz Warner NBCWS Radio New York.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
After fifteen years of development, there's a new fruit hitting
grocery stores this month. Pre Tennis says.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
More, the Dole Company has created a new fruit. It's
called the dol Colada Royale pineapple. It was developed in
Honduras and the company says it tastes like a pina
colada with hints of coconut. The research team says the
fruit has a smaller core and packs two and a
half times the B six and a regular pineapple. And
if you want to try it, experts say the fruit
(15:52):
is picked ripe, so no need to thump, squeeze, or
pull top leaves. The new pineapple expected to sell for
under six bucks.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I'm you don't laugh. The cotton candy grapes are great,
all right. Sports of your morning show interest on the eyes.
The Blues get a point, but losing over time two

home to the Ducks. Caps beat the cracking four to one.
Penguins one easy at home five to one over the Canucks.
On the hardwood thunder up. Oklahoma City won twenty five

Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm Joe Big and Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. 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 Over Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the
(17:03):
Voice in Middle Georgia.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
We're going to need some blankets.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del journal. We
welcome Talk thirteen twenty and ninety nine point one FMWJAS
and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Today Ah the home of Virtual Clemente
Pittsburgh and then Marion, Carbondale, Illinois News Radio WJPF. I
(17:33):
think we're at one hundred and seven, but remember it's
all about two or more. Good morning and welcome to
the show and keep the talkbacks coming. This is not
like traditional talk radio. You don't have to rod on hold.
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, there's a microphone.
You press that microphone to count you down three to
two to one. You have thirty seconds to make a comment,
ask a question, and boom. Take your place at a
(17:54):
kitchen table that belongs to you here at your morning show.
So use a talkback. You can also email Michael d
at iHeartMedia. Well, today is day twenty two of the
partial government shutdown. It's the second longest in government shutdown history.
The big plans for the Democrats on All Night speech
by Senator Jeff Murkley more political theater. Meanwhile, millions of
(18:15):
Americans who rely on snap food assistance will soon be
impacted if the government shutdown doesn't end. And we're already
having problems with flight cancelation due to air traffic controller disruptions.
And former President Barack Obama is hitting the campaign trail.
He's going to be helping Democrat candidates for governor in
New Jersey and Virginia. And oh my, oh, give me kiss.
(18:39):
That's the ceremonial red kisses his wife goodbye while she
goes and earns the real money in the family. But boy,
these two candidates need some help. Does Barack Obama still?
You know, it's kind of like when you play clips
of Bill Clinton. It's unrecognizable by today's Democrat party. Obama relevant.
(19:03):
I mean, the socialist element of this party is probably
exactly what Barack Obama was shooting for. But in his
time he was a mere progressive. And these are two
candidates in big trouble for really big reasons. I don't
know if it can work, but it can't hurt to
(19:23):
have Obama, after all, that's exactly what Trump is doing.
So if the Democrats are going to make it about
no king, even though there's a duly elected president, if
that's all they got, and Saki signifies that's all they
got even in twenty twenty eight, well if they're going
to make it about Trump, Trump will make it about
himself and he'll begin his midterm campaigning today as well. Meanwhile,
(19:46):
the House says there's no immedia plans for a peace summit.
The White House says there's no immedia plan for c
summit with Vladimir Putin, and he's taken upon himself to
increase bombing in Ukraine as well. Our White House correspondent
John Decker's here with the very late it is good morning, John, Hey,
good morning, Michael. How are you doing today?
Speaker 9 (20:03):
That summit that you just referenced that was supposed to
take place in Budapest, Hungary within the next two weeks.
It's off both sides saying that there is not enough
momentum to have this. There's not enough agreement to have
this summit between President Trump and President Putin in two
weeks time.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
You know, it's interesting, and I'll ask you. I get
where the President's coming from. I don't want to waste
his time. I don't want to waste my time. But
you also don't want to waste not the theater time,
but you know the press. You know, you get together
in a room, something should come of it. And if
you know before it even happens nothing would you don't
waste that big moment. You save it for when there
(20:44):
can be. But then that begs the question, right now,
what does everyone do for Putin? It's bomb and bomb
immediately and he has.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Yeah, well he's done that. I mean, he's increased his
attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine with impunity. Since the
President and met in mid August in Anchorage, Alaska, he's
actually increased his rate of attacks on Ukraine with missile strikes,
with Joanes strikes, and that's not stopping, it's only increasing,
(21:12):
and that has upset the President. That has not pleased
the President. That's one of the reasons why this summit
isn't happening. What President Trump has said and what our
European allies have said, is let's have a cease fire
leading up to those talks in Budapest, and essentially that
has been rejected by Putin and by his foreign minister
Sergei Lavros.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Now we found out the Prime Minister of India has
agreed to reduce its purchase of Russian oil. I mean,
one strategy is to continue to make this economically painful,
isolate Russia in the world. But I'll remind everyone of
a pretty basic military history, lesson very few wars and
where they begin, and with the same players involved. This
(21:52):
is a proxy war right now, supporting Ukraine and pressuring
Putin to give up his ambitions to I guess red
the Russian Empire map. But you don't want to send
Tamahawk missiles, and you don't want to trip this into
something direct or worldwide any more than you want to
send troops into the Gaza. You can send them to
(22:13):
Israel to support Israeli troops, but you can't send them
into the region. So talk about some of the fine
lines the President's going to have to walk in the meantime.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Well, you mentioned Tomahawk missiles. The President has not ruled
that out completely. He's ruled it out for now, and
I think that's the pressure point, in addition to the
economic pressure that the President can place upon Ukraine as
it relates to trying to get them to the negotiating table. Today,
this afternoon, the President will meet at the White House
with the Secretary General of NATO, that's Mark Ruda.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
They get along very well. I'll be in the pool today.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Hopefully they open that meeting up and I have an
opportunity to ask not only the President but also the
Secretary General some questions regarding the war in Ukraine. But
that also is aimed at figuring out the strategy going
forward for NATO and for the US in terms of
confronting Russia and get them to negotiate, get them to
negotiate an end to this war.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So bottom line, John Decker, White House Correspondent, obviously meeting
in Budapest in two weeks, that's off the table. This
is more than just peace planning and peace attempts. This
is also US Russian relations. Where does that stand? Well?
Speaker 9 (23:26):
US Russian relations are in a place where Mark Rubio
can pick up the phone and speak to his counterpart,
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, but that's essentially it. The President
can pick up his phone and speak to Vladimir Putin,
but it's not leading to anything. They're talking, but they're
essentially Michael talking past each other. They're not talking about
anything that could get the road on a pathway to
(23:50):
a ceasefire or be on a pathway to ending the war.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And that's really unfortunate.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Of course, it's unfortunate, particularly for those civilians in Ukraine
who are.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
In the middle of all this. So the government remains
in a shutdown, and the peace talks have begun to
shut down between Russia and the US. You can hear more.
The White House Briefing Room is the podcast name and
White House Correspondent John Decker as the host. That comes
up about nine Eastern every morning, and when it does,
put it on a preset that way, it's waiting for
you every morning. Thank you, John. We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Mind everybody block head.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Look he's just shot a try harder not to.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Show sons after the opportunity for a brief PA civics
lesson you're.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
A fashion Perhaps you'd like to be alone with you
a deteriorating mental conditions.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Forty three minutes after the hour, always revealing, often entertaining
its time. Now for your sounds of the day. Well,
everyone was freaking out. Jen Saki, a former White House
Press secretary, picking on Vance's wife. She's gone too far
on this one. I tell you you can't make that's
off limits making fun of somebody's wife. Well here's what
(24:57):
she said. They got everybody up in arms. First.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
I think the little mentoring candidate, Jadie Vance wants to
be president more than anything else. I always wonder what's
going on in the mind of his wife, Like, okay,
please bring blank four times, we'll come over here.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, this is one of favorite Davidsonani's favorite expressions. This
is one of those old tactics. So when did you
start beating your wife as a question, all right, and
it's got everybody up in arms. Look, Usha can handle it.
JD can handle it. And I think I think the
other side has said things about Michelle Obama in the
past that it's not so much that I don't think
(25:37):
it's a big deal. And I get that she's an
anchor on NBC, just like George Stepanophilis as a morning
host on ABC. I mean, they're all political operatives. I
don't want you to miss the next part of this.
It's what she says after what everyone's talking about that
I think is the most important thing, and I do
not want you to miss it. Listen, We'll save you.
(26:00):
And that he's willing to do anything to.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Get there, and that your whole iteration you're just outlined.
I mean, he's scarier in certain ways, he's smart in
some ways, and he's young and ambitious.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
And ambitious and agile in the sense that he is
a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the
audience wants to hear from him.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Now, what's also true, though, is JD.
Speaker 11 (26:24):
Vance is not He's in some ways goodish on paper
if you like what he believes in. I don't know,
but I don't I don't know that he can take
the whole movement with him.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
No, I don't think so either. No Riz, it's got
no Riz right. And what I want you to hear is,
remember when we were talking yesterday about Trump derangement syndrome.
It's not going to go away. And when Trump leaves
in twenty twenty eight, the left is them. The left
(26:55):
is the ultimate example of intolerance. Those who sold you
the lies of intolerance are now showing you true intolerance.
They think we're a democracy mob rule, not a constitutional
representative Republican a government of laws. And that democracy that
(27:16):
we're not has now become the Democrat Party platform and
its candidates and its issues, and anyone who dare oppose
them or try to defeat them is an enemy, a tyrant,
a Nazi, whatever the word dajour is. What they're signifying
is you know what they got moving forward, the same
(27:37):
thing you've been getting, identity politics, blame game, demonization. They're
going to. Their strategy is to disrupt the handoff of
whatever it is Maga trump Ism, the Trump influence America
(27:58):
first influence on the Republican Party. They're going to try
to disrupt his hand off to the successor. So he's
a demon, and anybody he's thinking of handing off to
as a demon, they'll do the same thing to Marco Rubio.
That's what they're revealing. They have no candidate, they have
no message, they have no solutions, they have no moral compass,
(28:19):
and they will stop at nothing if they have to
destroy this country in order to destroy those who don't
believe like them. They'll do it, and you better take
them seriously because they plan to do it in twenty twenty.
Of course they'll do it again. So she'll tell you
(28:40):
who's next for the Republicans. But could she answer who's
next for the Democrats? Do they even have anybody? Because
the early leader is going to be AOC. It looks
like by then the mayor of our largest city will
be an islam As Socialist. Who do the Democrats have
to take on Vance and Rubio in twenty twenty eight,
(29:03):
maybe Stephen A. Smith was the most honest listen at
Nate City eleven.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Who has the best chance to defeat Vance and Rubio
on a Democratic side in two thousand and eight? The
answer would be no one, not a damn soul. But
I like Osoff. I believe that's the correct pronunciation of
his is also for ourself out of Georgia. I think
that he's I think that I like him. I like
how he sounds, by the way. I appreciate his honesty.
(29:30):
And the reality is most Democrats think it you Stephen,
maybe that's proof of not a damn soul, but asof
that one for anybody surprise. But I gotta be honest
with you. If this Israel Harmon Steele comes out to
be more positive than anything else. I don't think anybody's
gonna be able to compete with Marco Rubio, who Trump
(29:52):
called maybe the greatest Secretary of State in American history.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Marco Rubio gets things done.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It's a former senator's non secretary of State in the
National Security advisa.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
He is no joke.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I put him above Vice president of Vance.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I can tell you that much. I gotta tell you something.
Everybody loves Steven A. Smith, and you know it's funny.
He's known for sports, which I don't care for him,
but for politics. It's not anybody that knows me knows.
I love sports as much or more than politics, but
(30:25):
he's always dead on politically. He gets it. Now. What
I suspect stephen A Smith also gets is Marco Rubio
has always been the apple of Donald Trump's eye. Marco
Rubio would have been Donald Trump's selection for vice president.
(30:46):
Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to Charlie Kirk. I'm
grateful to Donald Trump Junior for the JD Vance influence
so that Marco could be busy doing these other four jobs.
There's no question there's no king, just a duly elected president.
But his mini me is little Marco. And I don't
(31:09):
know if JD is going to be able to receive
the handoff. But I think what stephen A is saying
is it's potentially a Vance Rubio ticket and who do
we got to beat that? Not a damn soul was
his answer. Jade Vance was in Israel. He's trying to
(31:30):
make ensure that this piece deal has positive long term ramification. Show.
There's gonna be a couple of hiccups. You got. You're
gonna have to go get Hamas out of there and
body bags or force them out. There's no place for
Hamas in the Gaza moving forward, they'll get over that hiccup,
but then get on to what the Gaza will become
(31:50):
that has begun. Here's JD from Israel.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
I hope to go to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher,
which Christians believe is the site that Jesus Christ was
crucified in. And I know that Christians have many titles
for Jesus Christ, and one of them is the Prince
of Peace. And I'd ask all people of faith, in
particular my fellow Christians, to pray that the Prince of
Peace can continue.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
To work a miracle in this region of the world.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
I think that we have made incredible strides over the
past week.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
We're going to have to make a lot more.
Speaker 13 (32:18):
But I think with your prayers, with God's providence, and
with a very good team behind me.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I think we're gonna get it done. Thank you. So
who gets the credit? Pam or Marco? And are they
inserting him so he can get some of the credit?
I loved this right here. And listen, food prices are up,
especially Turkey, So what are you doing to how customers
keep the cost down.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
We started putting together this idea of having the entire
basket easy to purchase, easy to assemble back in twenty
twenty two, and this year we will have the best
prices on this basket.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We've had since the program started.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
We're down about twenty five percent from last year, down
about fourteen dollars for.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
The basket Turkey.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Can you imagine all the way back to what they
were in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Twenty nineteen, you know, when Joe Biden drove the prices
all up. So there is slop aanophilist trying to get
the Walmart ceo to bash Trump. And what does he do.
He lays out the case of the inflation we had
compared to what we don't have, and boy, the camera
(33:22):
would not show you his face. We did a whole
segment on DEM's talking DEM's voices, and we did the
Jen zackipiece. Here's the other side of it. This is cringe.
Jean Pierre, she's on her I was with him. The
guy was sharp to her, and she couldn't get Stephen
Colbert to buy it. Listen.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
I don't think it was necessarily a betrayal of Joe Biden,
as other people saying, we don't think we were.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Shown Joe Biden.
Speaker 14 (33:50):
You saw and no one is saying that the debate
performance wasn't shocking.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Was it?
Speaker 14 (33:55):
A disappointment. No one is saying, is such a light time?
I use harrow use you wo.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Look, listen, we're never going to agree on this. Well,
you can't get a Americal wine. We wo. That's tough,
the good man. All right, that's your Sounds of the
day for Wednesday, October the twenty second. You have a
LOLd twenty twenty five. All right. Doctors call it weight cycling.
You may call it yo yoing. Half of Americans do it,
(34:24):
and if you do it enough, you're at risk of diabetes,
liver damage, heart attacks, stroke. Weight cycling is when you
lose ten pounds, then gain it back, then lose it again,
then gain it back in some more. It puts tremendous
strain on your organs and it leads to serious health issues.
Bottom line, we need help avoiding weight cycling yo yoing.
And here's a great way, non prescription lean. It was
(34:46):
created by doctors. I'd take it. Jeffrey takes it, Red
takes it. Jeffrey likes it a little too much. Anyway.
It's not a GOLP injectable. It's science and it's impressive.
It's studied. Ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways.
Help you should maintain healthy blood Sugar helps you control
appetite and cravings, and it helps burn fat by converting
it to energy and at burning fat is your goal.
(35:09):
This is the slow, steady, meaningful way without weight cycling.

We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Ndheld, Journo
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
This is your.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Morning show with Michael O'Dell Jornan.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think the googlatorial candidate in Virginia is on nitrous
ox side. She's acting a little crazy. Seven minutes after
the hour. I don't know what happened last hour, but
I can control this hour.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Sex.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome to Wednesday, October, the
twenty second year of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Good morning,
Thanks for making us a part of your morning routine.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal. They
can't be like Bob. That's all I really want is
to be heard, listened to, maybe held a little bit.
I lost a left arm that was perfectly healthy before
(01:10):
I went to the doctor. I've lost my hearing in
my left ear. That was perfectly fine before I was
sent to get wax taken out. I just needed to
be heard, and only Bob in Mississippi was sensitive enough
to listen to me. Now we pres yeah, thank you,
we own it. We pressed on. Now, towards day twenty
two of the government's shutdown, we have one Senator, Jeff Merkley,
who plans to speak all night long, more political theater,
(01:32):
and no statesman or gentlemen in the room to solve problems.
Millions of Americans who rely on snap food assistants will
soon be impacted by the shutdown, and Barack Obama sitting
the campaign trail trying to help two Democratic candidates running
for governor in New Jersey and Virginia. And trust me,
they both need the help. Flight delays, cancelations they're starting
(01:53):
to increase. That's putting pressure on lawmakers to rio open
the government. Our national correspondent Roy o'neilis is here to
take a look at how the government shutdown is beginning.
It's beginning to affect the average Americ. Ken, I haven't
sung for you in a long time have I Yeah,
thanks for that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Nineteen thousand flights were delayed between Saturday and Monday, sixteen
hundred cancelations. Transportation Secretary Duffy says they are seeing much
higher absentee rates among air traffic controllers. As he says,
many of them, after working a full week, then have
to go work jobs driving for Uber or door dash
delivery to make some sort of cash in order to
(02:33):
put gash in the tank and buy lunch while on
the job. So it's more and more of a struggle
for these air traffic controllers. And this is something that
these members of Congress will notice because these members of
Congress are also members of frequent flyer programs, Right, they're
at airports all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And they can see this with their own eyes. Yeah,
and they're getting to the airport in an Uber driven
by what once was an air traffic controller. You can't
make this up, all right. And then there's the report
about snap too in food assistance that could soon have
a disruption. So this, I guess the question is this
is second longest in history. What happened in the longest
in history and about what time? Twenty two days.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
In Yeah, so the last one wrapped up after thirty
five days, and that was the twenty eighteen into twenty nineteen.
A lot of that had to do with the incoming
Congress and the and also though the air traffic controller
issue and trying to get that resolved. So we'll see
what the motivating factor is here. Maybe the fact that
the Thanksgiving holiday travel period is coming up, but that's
(03:34):
still going to require Congress to come back. You know,
a lot of people are now not happy with this
November twenty first deadline. They say that this really doesn't
solve the problem anymore. They're going to need more time
for full bills, full spending bills for the year ahead.
So if you do want to change November twenty first,
which is what the House passed, that means they got
to bring the House back to vote on a new date.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And of course that means they got to swear in
the new lady from Arizona and that own mass What
a mess, all right? So what we have is not
checks and balances. That we have is not you know,
even I don't know, partisan political strategy, which you have
is complete dysfunction, all right. So if they don't and
(04:15):
there's so many ways to slice this cake. But yeah, conceivably,
after all this, you could reopen the government. And if
you don't address November twenty first, you're right back here again.
That'll show you the level of and competence and dysfunction
we're in. The President signified yesterday and he met with
some Republican senators, but he also mentioned how, you know,
(04:38):
we like where things are at. Well, fund whatever we
need to fund, and we do fund what we want
to fund, and we don't fund what we don't want
to fund. Meanwhile, on the Democrat side, they acted like,
you know, according to the Hill story, they can't settle
too fast because their base wants them to fight, fight, fight,
and they're afraid of their base, afraid of their own
base and their own party. Something's got to give, and
(05:01):
perhaps these new pressures will be what breaks it makes
a give. That's the hope anyway, right it is.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
And you know we have heard more senators on the sidelines,
not the leadership ones Democrats and Republicans, saying, you know,
how do we get our way out of this and
try to reach some sort of accommodation here again, I mean,
some have suggested to a continuing resolution through next September
and just totally kick the can down, not addressing the
spending issues at all. So yeah, it's a broad range
(05:29):
of ideas being floated around, but you really can't too
much of anything else without the House coming back into session,
because you really can't even negotiate with really just that
one option for senators.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I got a very interesting poll that I'm gonna sare
with the audience here in a second. Rory's gonna be
back in the third hour. What's the beef that American
ranchers have with President Trump's trade policy? Rory has the
story in our third hour. We'll talk to him then. Yeah,
this is a nice companion piece to what we're talking about.
So you'll see like Jeffries and Schumer have a news
(06:00):
conference and you know, it's like stop the Trump shut down,
which is a silly game to play. There has been
no research that shows this shutdown is hurting Donald Trump
at all. It's viewed partisanly. Now you can follow who's
blaming Republicans, who's blaming Democrats. It mostly falls right down
(06:23):
party line, with a slight tilt towards there's a growing
blame for Democrats. So they're not getting away with the narrative,
just stand up to the president, just stonewall, stop him,
fight him, not when they're trying to get on a plane,
(06:43):
not when their air traffic controller is driving the ruber.
So time is not on the Democrat side on this dysfunction,
let alone this issue. But what a joke the strategy
to blame this on Trump, which isn't working when fifty
one percent of the American people want the government shutdown
(07:04):
to continue. I said, this would be their worst nightmare
if there was ever an awakening to the fiscal dysfunction
in Washington. Every time we have a shutdown, it's the
only time we ever and we still don't. This show does,
But most shows don't ever discuss the proper size and
(07:26):
role of government, ever discuss the role and the responsibility
of we the people, the self governed. Never do we
stop and discuss a balanced budget as the constitution requires,
maybe even get real smart and as zero base to
(07:47):
prioritize budget that coincides with the two year terms of
the House. No continuing resolutions, no government shutdowns, shutdowns that
are solved two weeks before the next shutdown, A zero
based by law balanced budget tied to the two year
(08:08):
legislative session, or even worse for them if they ever
wake up and realize, well, when there's a government shutdown,
it's a partial shutdown and only essential government continues, and
it begs the question, why does anything but you know,
essential government even exist. So there's a million things that
(08:29):
can be going through your head. When you see a
poll fifty one percent wile the government shutdown to continue,
your first thought is could they be finally getting smarter?
And then you will open it up. A narrow majority
of voters, including two thirds of Democrats two including I
would have probably worded it this way. A narrow majority
(08:52):
driven by two thirds of the Democrats, are in favor
of having the shutdown continue. No, I don't believe in
governing by polls, but I assure you if they're afraid
of their base, and their base is telling them, if
(09:12):
you settle and reopen the government, we're coming after you.
Imagine that party representatives afraid of their own base. That
says a lot about the civil war within the Democrat Party.
But their clear messages our base has gotten radical, and
our radical base wants us to fight Trump. We're gonna
(09:35):
have a visit with David Zanati because This isn't even
the beginning, This isn't even the middle. It's the tip
of the iceberg of what the true Democrat strategy is.
And they will stop at nothing. They don't care if
your food stamps get cut off. They'll blame it on
(09:56):
Trump and your kids will starve. Two thirds you want
to talk about the matrix. Two thirds of Democrats want
this shutdown to continue. No wonder the Democrats aren't willing
to just continue the resolution. It's a clean resolution, it's
the same one ten of them supported five months ago.
(10:20):
So overall, fifty one percent of likely voters approve of
continuing the shutdown, and that includes thirty one percent who
strongly approve, forty one percent disapprove, including twenty nine who
strongly disapprove. If you throw out the middle, thirty one
percent strongly approve, twenty nine percent strongly disapprove. That's America divided,
(10:41):
passionately divided, and of course the right wants it open
and the left once it closed. For the past three weeks,
Democrats and the Senate have repeatedly voted to maintain a
filibuster to continue the government shutdown until their demands are met.
Sixty six percent of Democratic voters approve of continuing the shutdown,
(11:05):
compared to forty one percent of Republicans and forty four
percent of non affiliated with either major party. Fifty three
percent of Republicans, twenty four percent of Democrats, and forty
seven percent of unaffiliated voters disapprove of letting the government
shutdown continue. Eighty three percent of voters say that they've
been closely following the recent news reports about the federal
(11:28):
government shutdown, including forty eight percent who have been following
the news very closely now Wish news source. They're following translation,
They're following the narratives and the political theater closely. Among
those who have very very closely followed news about the shutdown,
fifty six percent of percent agree and approve of avvy
(11:51):
having it continue. And despite the fact that more than
half of voters apparently approve of maintaining the shutdown, most
say they want to conclude quickly. I mean, this is
right up there with another poll we have the majority
of Americans see the need for a third party but
offer soft support. Of course, that's like saying I'm gonna
(12:15):
open up a new pizza place and you've never had
my pizza. You don't know that there's a need for
my pizza in your life. Your pizza needs are being
met or have traditionally just become a habit, and then we
do Papa John's, we go to Nashville Pizza if we're
in person or mellow Mushroom. Now, what I'd like to
(12:41):
see the discussion turned to is a no party system,
an American system. Partisan affiliation is obviously a factor in
the response to the question. Forty one percent of Democrat
voters believe Republican senators should agree to all the democrats
demands unreasonable. Fifty percent of GOP voters don't want to
yield to any of the Senate Democrat demands. Unaffiliated voters,
nineteen percent think Republicans in the Senate should agree to
(13:03):
all the demands of Democrats, thirty six percent say Republican
senators should agree to some, and thirty three percent believe
Republicans should not agree. Translation. May I and I try
never to because I want you to land the planes
around here. But seeing is it's an air traffic control crisis.
Now let me land the plane for you. We have
(13:25):
two parties dysfunctionally divided and incapable of functioning, serving a
country that is completely divided, dysfunctional and incapable of being led.
All right, that's one of our polls and our polls
of blenty today kick that one around with David Sanati
(13:46):
as well. This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
The Louver or is Louverro as it should be pronounced,
is back open in Paris, but without the Crown jewels
over one hundred million dollars. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Thieves broke into the museum's Sunday morning shortly before it
opened to the public. They're thought to have gained entry
through an upstairs window using some type of mechanical lift.
Among the items stolen were Crown jewels and pieces that
two Napoleons gave to their wives. French President Emmanuel mccrolan
says a robbery was an attack on France's heritage.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A judge on the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals, is asked that the case involving the National
Guard troops in Portland be heard by the full court.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Attorneys for Portland, the State of Oregon, and the federal
government have been asked to present briefs on the issue
by the end of the day Wednesday. Twenty nine judges
on the Court would then vote to determine if there
would be a full review by the court. If that happens,
eleven judges would hear the case. A three judge panel
ruled President Trump has the authority to deploy the National
Guard at Portland and the courts couldn't stop it. I'm

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Former Today Show host Brian Gumbel is in the hospital
after suffering a medical emergency, Liz Warner reports.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
CMZ has reported that Gumble was taken from his men
An apartment to the hospital Monday night. The seventy seven
year old broadcasters' condition remains unknown, although a family member
reportedly said Gumble is okay. He served as a co
host on the popular morning show for fifteen years, and
he also had his own show on HBO. Gumble underwent
surgery for lung cancer in two thousand and nine. His brother,
(15:20):
longtime CBS sports anchor Greg Gumbel, passed away last year
from pancreatic cancer. Liz Warner NBCWS Radio New York.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
After fifteen years of development, there's a new fruit hitting
grocery stores this month. Pre Tennis says.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
More, the Dole Company has created a new fruit. It's
called the dol Colada Royale pineapple. It was developed in
Honduras and the company says it tastes like a pina
colada with hints of coconut. The research team says the
fruit has a smaller core and packs two and a
half times the B six and a regular pineapple. And
if you want to try it, experts say the fruit
(15:52):
is picked ripe, so no need to thump, squeeze, or
pull top leaves. The new pineapple expected to sell for
under six bucks.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I'm you don't laugh. The cotton candy grapes are great,
all right. Sports of your morning show interest on the eyes.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del journal. We
welcome Talk thirteen twenty and ninety nine point one FMWJAS
and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Today Ah the home of Virtual Clemente
Pittsburgh and then Marion, Carbondale, Illinois News Radio WJPF. I
(17:33):
think we're at one hundred and seven, but remember it's
all about two or more. Good morning and welcome to
the show and keep the talkbacks coming. This is not
like traditional talk radio. You don't have to rod on hold.
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, there's a microphone.
You press that microphone to count you down three to
two to one. You have thirty seconds to make a comment,
ask a question, and boom. Take your place at a
(17:54):
kitchen table that belongs to you here at your morning show.
So use a talkback. You can also email Michael d
at iHeartMedia. Well, today is day twenty two of the
partial government shutdown. It's the second longest in government shutdown history.
The big plans for the Democrats on All Night speech
by Senator Jeff Murkley more political theater. Meanwhile, millions of
(18:15):
Americans who rely on snap food assistance will soon be
impacted if the government shutdown doesn't end. And we're already
having problems with flight cancelation due to air traffic controller disruptions.
And former President Barack Obama is hitting the campaign trail.
He's going to be helping Democrat candidates for governor in
New Jersey and Virginia. And oh my, oh, give me kiss.
(18:39):
That's the ceremonial red kisses his wife goodbye while she
goes and earns the real money in the family. But boy,
these two candidates need some help. Does Barack Obama still?
You know, it's kind of like when you play clips
of Bill Clinton. It's unrecognizable by today's Democrat party. Obama relevant.
(19:03):
I mean, the socialist element of this party is probably
exactly what Barack Obama was shooting for. But in his
time he was a mere progressive. And these are two
candidates in big trouble for really big reasons. I don't
know if it can work, but it can't hurt to
(19:23):
have Obama, after all, that's exactly what Trump is doing.
So if the Democrats are going to make it about
no king, even though there's a duly elected president, if
that's all they got, and Saki signifies that's all they
got even in twenty twenty eight, well if they're going
to make it about Trump, Trump will make it about
himself and he'll begin his midterm campaigning today as well. Meanwhile,
(19:46):
the House says there's no immedia plans for a peace summit.
The White House says there's no immedia plan for c
summit with Vladimir Putin, and he's taken upon himself to
increase bombing in Ukraine as well. Our White House correspondent
John Decker's here with the very late it is good morning, John, Hey,
good morning, Michael. How are you doing today?
Speaker 9 (20:03):
That summit that you just referenced that was supposed to
take place in Budapest, Hungary within the next two weeks.
It's off both sides saying that there is not enough
momentum to have this. There's not enough agreement to have
this summit between President Trump and President Putin in two
weeks time.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
You know, it's interesting, and I'll ask you. I get
where the President's coming from. I don't want to waste
his time. I don't want to waste my time. But
you also don't want to waste not the theater time,
but you know the press. You know, you get together
in a room, something should come of it. And if
you know before it even happens nothing would you don't
waste that big moment. You save it for when there
(20:44):
can be. But then that begs the question, right now,
what does everyone do for Putin? It's bomb and bomb
immediately and he has.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Yeah, well he's done that. I mean, he's increased his
attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine with impunity. Since the
President and met in mid August in Anchorage, Alaska, he's
actually increased his rate of attacks on Ukraine with missile strikes,
with Joanes strikes, and that's not stopping, it's only increasing,
(21:12):
and that has upset the President. That has not pleased
the President. That's one of the reasons why this summit
isn't happening. What President Trump has said and what our
European allies have said, is let's have a cease fire
leading up to those talks in Budapest, and essentially that
has been rejected by Putin and by his foreign minister
Sergei Lavros.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Now we found out the Prime Minister of India has
agreed to reduce its purchase of Russian oil. I mean,
one strategy is to continue to make this economically painful,
isolate Russia in the world. But I'll remind everyone of
a pretty basic military history, lesson very few wars and
where they begin, and with the same players involved. This
(21:52):
is a proxy war right now, supporting Ukraine and pressuring
Putin to give up his ambitions to I guess red
the Russian Empire map. But you don't want to send
Tamahawk missiles, and you don't want to trip this into
something direct or worldwide any more than you want to
send troops into the Gaza. You can send them to
(22:13):
Israel to support Israeli troops, but you can't send them
into the region. So talk about some of the fine
lines the President's going to have to walk in the meantime.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Well, you mentioned Tomahawk missiles. The President has not ruled
that out completely. He's ruled it out for now, and
I think that's the pressure point, in addition to the
economic pressure that the President can place upon Ukraine as
it relates to trying to get them to the negotiating table. Today,
this afternoon, the President will meet at the White House
with the Secretary General of NATO, that's Mark Ruda.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
They get along very well. I'll be in the pool today.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Hopefully they open that meeting up and I have an
opportunity to ask not only the President but also the
Secretary General some questions regarding the war in Ukraine. But
that also is aimed at figuring out the strategy going
forward for NATO and for the US in terms of
confronting Russia and get them to negotiate, get them to
negotiate an end to this war.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So bottom line, John Decker, White House Correspondent, obviously meeting
in Budapest in two weeks, that's off the table. This
is more than just peace planning and peace attempts. This
is also US Russian relations. Where does that stand? Well?
Speaker 9 (23:26):
US Russian relations are in a place where Mark Rubio
can pick up the phone and speak to his counterpart,
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, but that's essentially it. The President
can pick up his phone and speak to Vladimir Putin,
but it's not leading to anything. They're talking, but they're
essentially Michael talking past each other. They're not talking about
anything that could get the road on a pathway to
(23:50):
a ceasefire or be on a pathway to ending the war.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And that's really unfortunate.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Of course, it's unfortunate, particularly for those civilians in Ukraine
who are.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
In the middle of all this. So the government remains
in a shutdown, and the peace talks have begun to
shut down between Russia and the US. You can hear more.
The White House Briefing Room is the podcast name and
White House Correspondent John Decker as the host. That comes
up about nine Eastern every morning, and when it does,
put it on a preset that way, it's waiting for
you every morning. Thank you, John. We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Mind everybody block head.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Look he's just shot a try harder not to.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Show sons after the opportunity for a brief PA civics
lesson you're.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
A fashion Perhaps you'd like to be alone with you
a deteriorating mental conditions.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Forty three minutes after the hour, always revealing, often entertaining
its time. Now for your sounds of the day. Well,
everyone was freaking out. Jen Saki, a former White House
Press secretary, picking on Vance's wife. She's gone too far
on this one. I tell you you can't make that's
off limits making fun of somebody's wife. Well here's what
(24:57):
she said. They got everybody up in arms. First.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
I think the little mentoring candidate, Jadie Vance wants to
be president more than anything else. I always wonder what's
going on in the mind of his wife, Like, okay,
please bring blank four times, we'll come over here.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, this is one of favorite Davidsonani's favorite expressions. This
is one of those old tactics. So when did you
start beating your wife as a question, all right, and
it's got everybody up in arms. Look, Usha can handle it.
JD can handle it. And I think I think the
other side has said things about Michelle Obama in the
past that it's not so much that I don't think
(25:37):
it's a big deal. And I get that she's an
anchor on NBC, just like George Stepanophilis as a morning
host on ABC. I mean, they're all political operatives. I
don't want you to miss the next part of this.
It's what she says after what everyone's talking about that
I think is the most important thing, and I do
not want you to miss it. Listen, We'll save you.
(26:00):
And that he's willing to do anything to.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Get there, and that your whole iteration you're just outlined.
I mean, he's scarier in certain ways, he's smart in
some ways, and he's young and ambitious.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
And ambitious and agile in the sense that he is
a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the
audience wants to hear from him.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Now, what's also true, though, is JD.
Speaker 11 (26:24):
Vance is not He's in some ways goodish on paper
if you like what he believes in. I don't know,
but I don't I don't know that he can take
the whole movement with him.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
No, I don't think so either. No Riz, it's got
no Riz right. And what I want you to hear is,
remember when we were talking yesterday about Trump derangement syndrome.
It's not going to go away. And when Trump leaves
in twenty twenty eight, the left is them. The left
(26:55):
is the ultimate example of intolerance. Those who sold you
the lies of intolerance are now showing you true intolerance.
They think we're a democracy mob rule, not a constitutional
representative Republican a government of laws. And that democracy that
(27:16):
we're not has now become the Democrat Party platform and
its candidates and its issues, and anyone who dare oppose
them or try to defeat them is an enemy, a tyrant,
a Nazi, whatever the word dajour is. What they're signifying
is you know what they got moving forward, the same
(27:37):
thing you've been getting, identity politics, blame game, demonization. They're
going to. Their strategy is to disrupt the handoff of
whatever it is Maga trump Ism, the Trump influence America
(27:58):
first influence on the Republican Party. They're going to try
to disrupt his hand off to the successor. So he's
a demon, and anybody he's thinking of handing off to
as a demon, they'll do the same thing to Marco Rubio.
That's what they're revealing. They have no candidate, they have
no message, they have no solutions, they have no moral compass,
(28:19):
and they will stop at nothing if they have to
destroy this country in order to destroy those who don't
believe like them. They'll do it, and you better take
them seriously because they plan to do it in twenty twenty.
Of course they'll do it again. So she'll tell you
(28:40):
who's next for the Republicans. But could she answer who's
next for the Democrats? Do they even have anybody? Because
the early leader is going to be AOC. It looks
like by then the mayor of our largest city will
be an islam As Socialist. Who do the Democrats have
to take on Vance and Rubio in twenty twenty eight,
(29:03):
maybe Stephen A. Smith was the most honest listen at
Nate City eleven.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Who has the best chance to defeat Vance and Rubio
on a Democratic side in two thousand and eight? The
answer would be no one, not a damn soul. But
I like Osoff. I believe that's the correct pronunciation of
his is also for ourself out of Georgia. I think
that he's I think that I like him. I like
how he sounds, by the way. I appreciate his honesty.
(29:30):
And the reality is most Democrats think it you Stephen,
maybe that's proof of not a damn soul, but asof
that one for anybody surprise. But I gotta be honest
with you. If this Israel Harmon Steele comes out to
be more positive than anything else. I don't think anybody's
gonna be able to compete with Marco Rubio, who Trump
(29:52):
called maybe the greatest Secretary of State in American history.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Marco Rubio gets things done.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It's a former senator's non secretary of State in the
National Security advisa.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
He is no joke.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I put him above Vice president of Vance.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I can tell you that much. I gotta tell you something.
Everybody loves Steven A. Smith, and you know it's funny.
He's known for sports, which I don't care for him,
but for politics. It's not anybody that knows me knows.
I love sports as much or more than politics, but
(30:25):
he's always dead on politically. He gets it. Now. What
I suspect stephen A Smith also gets is Marco Rubio
has always been the apple of Donald Trump's eye. Marco
Rubio would have been Donald Trump's selection for vice president.
(30:46):
Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to Charlie Kirk. I'm
grateful to Donald Trump Junior for the JD Vance influence
so that Marco could be busy doing these other four jobs.
There's no question there's no king, just a duly elected president.
But his mini me is little Marco. And I don't
(31:09):
know if JD is going to be able to receive
the handoff. But I think what stephen A is saying
is it's potentially a Vance Rubio ticket and who do
we got to beat that? Not a damn soul was
his answer. Jade Vance was in Israel. He's trying to
(31:30):
make ensure that this piece deal has positive long term ramification. Show.
There's gonna be a couple of hiccups. You got. You're
gonna have to go get Hamas out of there and
body bags or force them out. There's no place for
Hamas in the Gaza moving forward, they'll get over that hiccup,
but then get on to what the Gaza will become
(31:50):
that has begun. Here's JD from Israel.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
I hope to go to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher,
which Christians believe is the site that Jesus Christ was
crucified in. And I know that Christians have many titles
for Jesus Christ, and one of them is the Prince
of Peace. And I'd ask all people of faith, in
particular my fellow Christians, to pray that the Prince of
Peace can continue.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
To work a miracle in this region of the world.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
I think that we have made incredible strides over the
past week.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
We're going to have to make a lot more.
Speaker 13 (32:18):
But I think with your prayers, with God's providence, and
with a very good team behind me.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I think we're gonna get it done. Thank you. So
who gets the credit? Pam or Marco? And are they
inserting him so he can get some of the credit?
I loved this right here. And listen, food prices are up,
especially Turkey, So what are you doing to how customers
keep the cost down.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
We started putting together this idea of having the entire
basket easy to purchase, easy to assemble back in twenty
twenty two, and this year we will have the best
prices on this basket.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We've had since the program started.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
We're down about twenty five percent from last year, down
about fourteen dollars for.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
The basket Turkey.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Can you imagine all the way back to what they
were in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Twenty nineteen, you know, when Joe Biden drove the prices
all up. So there is slop aanophilist trying to get
the Walmart ceo to bash Trump. And what does he do.
He lays out the case of the inflation we had
compared to what we don't have, and boy, the camera
(33:22):
would not show you his face. We did a whole
segment on DEM's talking DEM's voices, and we did the
Jen zackipiece. Here's the other side of it. This is cringe.
Jean Pierre, she's on her I was with him. The
guy was sharp to her, and she couldn't get Stephen
Colbert to buy it. Listen.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
I don't think it was necessarily a betrayal of Joe Biden,
as other people saying, we don't think we were.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Shown Joe Biden.
Speaker 14 (33:50):
You saw and no one is saying that the debate
performance wasn't shocking.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Was it?
Speaker 14 (33:55):
A disappointment. No one is saying, is such a light time?
I use harrow use you wo.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Look, listen, we're never going to agree on this. Well,
you can't get a Americal wine. We wo. That's tough,
the good man. All right, that's your Sounds of the
day for Wednesday, October the twenty second. You have a
LOLd twenty twenty five. All right. Doctors call it weight cycling.
You may call it yo yoing. Half of Americans do it,
(34:24):
and if you do it enough, you're at risk of diabetes,
liver damage, heart attacks, stroke. Weight cycling is when you
lose ten pounds, then gain it back, then lose it again,
then gain it back in some more. It puts tremendous
strain on your organs and it leads to serious health issues.
Bottom line, we need help avoiding weight cycling yo yoing.
And here's a great way, non prescription lean. It was
(34:46):
created by doctors. I'd take it. Jeffrey takes it, Red
takes it. Jeffrey likes it a little too much. Anyway.
It's not a GOLP injectable. It's science and it's impressive.
It's studied. Ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways.
Help you should maintain healthy blood Sugar helps you control
appetite and cravings, and it helps burn fat by converting
it to energy and at burning fat is your goal.
(35:09):
This is the slow, steady, meaningful way without weight cycling.
