Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Good morning, seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, October,
the twenty ninth, Hurricane Melissa moved through Jamaica. We have
a death toll of seven, though that is expected to
rise greatly over five hundred thousand without power. A Cat
five hurricane end of October, slamming Jamaica, then moving on
to Cuba, where it made landfall about four or five
(00:52):
hours ago. There were about seven hundred and fifty thousand
that had evacuated prior to the storm, and the good
news it was a Cat three upon arrival in Cuba.
We're keeping an eye on both Cuba, Jamaica and where
it's headed, which will be a portion of the Virgin
Islands and then on to Bermuda. Twenty five Democrat led
(01:14):
states are suing the Trump administration for what forty eight
Democrats voted for last night, the government to remain shut down.
But they're blaming Trump and they're going to sue Trump
over food stamps. Blue Jays, what can you say? You
lose a heartbreaker in eighteen innings, you come back hours later,
you should be tired. They weren't, and the bats were
(01:35):
alive and they pounded Ottani and Blue Jays have tied
up the World Series at two games apiece. So the
World Series will return to Toronto. The question is who
will be up three games to two when they get there.
We'll find out. Game five is tonight in Los Angeles.
And I was just looking over my notes, so we
were live on the air Brett Barr by the way,
(01:57):
coming up next half hour on his new book of
Theodore Roosevelt. And I remember, I think it was me
and you, David David's and audio senior contributors here, and
we said, gee, is.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Anybody noticing all not just Elon?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
All the tech giants are at the inauguration. So you
had Elon Musk, you had Zuckerberger Zuckerberg, Meta and Facebook.
You had Bezos from Amazon, you had cook from Apple,
and Peacha from Google. I mean, all the tech giants
were there and we were like, what's up with this? Well,
(02:34):
remember how they defeated Donald Trump number one in twenty
twenty in the shadow campaign to save the democracy. They
controlled the narrative because they had the networks in the
media in their back pocket. They silenced any opposition views
how they controlled the Internet and the tech. Then they
weaponized COVID. Then they changed election laws without going through
(02:55):
state legislatures, which was unconstitutional. Then they harvested ballots and
swing districts of states. Some would call that cheating, fair
and square. Some will call that shadow campaign to save democracy.
We had to do it. Some will call it stealing.
And a big part of that were the tech giants.
And then in twenty twenty four, you could make the
case they got Trump elected. Where are they going to
(03:17):
be in twenty twenty eight? Why is the big story today?
Bill Gates pivots away from climate strategy. Our senior contributor,
Davidson Audius here to connect all the dots in our
journey of discovery.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Good morning, David, Good morning, Michael. You just can't make
this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I wish we were.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Well, it's so fascinating because Bill Gates, well, I don't
even know where to begin. Let's restate the core basis
of the story, and that is that Bill Gates sent
out a memo seventeen pages sending it off to the
United Nations in advance of a large meeting at the UN,
(03:58):
basically saying, never mind, okay, after all that they have
done to destroy the world, you.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Can't call off an existential threat, can you.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
This?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
They made the word existential irrelevance in this entire process.
There is no way to quantify the trillions of dollars
that have been invested in lost and thrown away and
misdirected based upon people like Bill Gates, the money players,
the massive money tech players who decided that global warming
(04:33):
was their cost of lect. Furthermore, and this is the
one you won't hear anywhere else in America today. Where
in the world is John Podesta? They waited until the
Auto pen presidency being run and orchestrated in the back
room by John Podesta writing checks to global climate political
allies had exhausted the Green New Deal, inflation money, hundreds
(04:57):
of billions of dollars, and then Podesta just totally disappeared
in oh ten months later.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
So global warming.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
All right, So there's no existential and there's no integrity, right.
I always said, you know, on this whole global warming thing,
the only one I respect is at Bagley Junior. At
least he's driving around in an electric cocard because you know,
Al Gore with light shining on his trees when he's
not home at one of his foreign mansions, or all
these people flying on jets abroad to these meetings, they're
proven hypocrites. I mean, if you really believed that global
(05:29):
warming is man caused to be man solved or we're
all going to die and very soon, you wouldn't act
this way and you wouldn't change your mind because you
need energy for your AI. So that's number one. Number two,
This was always about control. It's about control and greed
control from a standpoint of they wanted to baby able
(05:49):
to control the entire globe. Well, the problem with that
is economic and military superpowers. So Jenna twenty one was
about redistributing wealth to make superpowers minimize and developing nations
developed for the purposes of control, which we saw. They
were shocked. They were able to do with COVID, but
could never get you to do it with global warming.
(06:11):
COVID you feared death, global warming you didn't buy. And
now they're admitting it was all alive. So why now, David, Well, why.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Now that the answer there is energy. The fact is
that Gates and all of his allies and colleagues. Now again,
I want to be careful because usually Elon Musk in
the past that always been named in that crew, the
row two tech giants that were at the inauguration, all
there amazingly smiling.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It was.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It was a remarkable scene, and most people missed it
that Elon Musk had already made a remarkable and significant
departure into a different way of thinking.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So Musk is out on you.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So four out of five Judas showing up after the resurrection,
Now let's let's talk.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So the question is a simple formula. Here is energy.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
The energy companies showed up at the inaugura or the well,
it's almost the same thing. Now the tech company showed
up at the inauguration because to save their bacon, they
now are moving to AI, and AI, of course is
what they're going to intimidate all the rest of us
with is if you don't get on this and you
don't get into the new non human, anti human world
(07:24):
of AI, one of the greatest insults to the human race.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Of all history.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah, what's going to end up happening is, of course
you'll be left behind in an igloo in the dust,
eating frozen hot dogs. This is your world, this is
the world unless you come along with us into this
brave new world. Well to do that, they need right
now more energy than we can produce by far. I've
heard all kinds of illustrations, but somebody said their energy
demands recently would be like adding the entire country of
(07:53):
Japan onto our grid at one time. So what's going
to end up happening. Somebody is going to get left
with candles. They don't care if all of us end
up in candlelight, as long as they get the energy
that they need.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So the problem is.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That we warm up to the point of rising seas
and depth.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
It makes no difference whatsoever because it's all about their profitability,
their shareholders, and their legends of their foundations. So they
need energy, which means they need power plants, which means
they need nuclear, which now means suddenly nuclear is going
to be the new cool thing and coddling up to
whatever government we have to get the licenses that are necessary. Now,
(08:34):
what they'll want to do is make us pay for
their power. The answer to this is for state and
federal government to basically say to them, byop, you want
to build satellite farms, you want to build server farms,
you want to build AI bring your own power. Is
the capacity and the technology in the science today exists
that each of these places could have their own power
(08:55):
sources with nuclear and they should have to build their
own on their own die.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
All right, but let me remind you David Sinati joining us.
We just talked about how big tech united to remove
Trump in twenty twenty, then they united to get them
elected in twenty twenty four. They were all at his inauguration,
So they're surrounding power. I haven't even brought up the lobbyists.
Will the American people have an honest broker in between
(09:20):
to make sure that if they want to have a farm,
they bring their own power.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Will we have a fighting chance? And this is going
to be something that's got to happen from the bottom up.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Michael.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
It's got to happen from Pittsburgh to San Francisco to
Maine to Florida's every state in the Union.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
People have to wake up and realize that these.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Guys will take what they want and use what they will,
and they want us to always, always, always pick up
the bill.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
This is who they are.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
We have to fight at the state and local level
and at the federal level. Look, I'm not saying that
the question on the table is should there be AI
or not. That's already a little bit lost. The question
is who's going to pay for the energy and will
need to pay one way or the other. They'll either
tax us to build it or they'll take our energy
away from us.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
By the way, the energy, the airwaves, the resources that.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Are being used by these companies have always been considered
a public trust. That's why you have public utility commissions
all over the place. These guys want to come out
just like in the Gilded Era, where Standard of New
York controlled all the kerosene, Every lamp was lit, came
through Standard oil, and every standard oil barrel came through
a Vanderbilt train. They want a new Gilded Age, and
(10:29):
they believe that they represent that age, and they always
want somebody else to pay their bill. We need to
stand up to these companies and say no, you're going
to pay your own bill.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The question is who are they going to be behind
in twenty twenty eight? In other words, are they mega
loyalists Republican loyalists? Do they not really care? They want
to create an energy crisis that can be solved as
opposed to paying for their own energy as they go
with the product they're going to profit from.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's where this is heading.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And this is going to be the sleeper, just like
people tried to not notice all those guys on Rod too.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Not a sleeper, David, I'm sorry to interrupt. That's a
game changer. Well, they just proved that they could get
Donald Trump removed from office in twenty twenty. They just
prove they can get them right back in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Who's going to be the.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
One that says no to them and think they can win?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, that's the fair question, all right, But that will
also mean that the lead of this story will be
largely buried. Will see it, other people will see it.
But why are we the only ones talking about it
this morning? Because the power of energy companies, and the
power of tech companies is basically the power that controls,
with a few other elements, state legislatures as well. We
(11:41):
have more to fear from these companies than we do
from just about any other type of organization in this country.
Let me give you one example, Michael, the Associated Press
is carrying the leads story.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
On Bill Gates making his change.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
You could have planned that story anyhow, in as they're
carrying very soft pedaling Bill Gates's decision that it's not
time to move off of the existential threat to the
human race. And here's a line from their story. Gates,
whose foundation provides financial support for Associated Press coverage of
health and development in Africa, is influential in the climate
(12:19):
change conversation. He expects his tough truths about climate memo
will be controversial. How many other disclaimers are there out there?
Gates who funds this organization, Gates who funds that tank,
Gates who paid for this advertising, Gates who paid for
this concert, Gates who Gates Gates and then add all
the others. These people are well positioned and they use
(12:42):
their influence to get what they want, and what they
want sadly, is not the healing of the universe. Now
that may be one of their objectives, now, the lining
of their pockets.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
All right, So, David and I's a CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable, host of the Public Square, and our
senior contributor.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
This all home.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So I'm thoroughly convinced that, like, if you're a Republican
or a Democrat and you're in these two party machines,
you don't mind the divided states of America. You don't
demand you don't mind the social dilemma and how we're
all fighting and hating each other, because while we're busy
fighting each other, they're ruling in power.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Do you get a sense that all of.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
These tech giants and AI giants they don't care if
we're fighting either. In other words, I don't even think
they are really honest or care if the next president
is a Democrat or Republican as long as they're getting
their energy, as.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Long as they control the process. The other thing, Michael,
about this is extend your premise. These large corporations, energy corporations,
the gambling industry, others. They know that control of Congress
and control of state legislature is the real game. They
spend billions of dollars controlling these pockets of government so
they can win from the bottom or they can win
(13:54):
from the top, and they're always playing the game at
both sides all the time. Now they have every right
to do this. It's their money. We have to remember
that we're the ones who've made them wealthy, as sooner
or later we have the right and perhaps the power
to say now.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm up against a heartbreak. But I would say you
and I are both aware of the stuff that's happening
online with some pretty big names. There's nothing to comment
on yet, but something's brewing and it stinks to high habits.
We're keeping an eye on that. There is a chance
that the left civil War.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Is going to go.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Crazy wild West socialist left. The right's going to have
some kind of major fight and explosion and discrediting in
and of itself, and these guys are going to walk
right down the middle and solve everybody's crisis by lining
their pockets. And we'll all be reading I don't know C. S.
(14:48):
Lewis by Cabin Candlelight, What an amazing picture that no
one else is painting but us. You're coming back tomorrow, right, right,
all right, we'll talk to you then.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltono.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well, there's two sides of this coin.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
One side is the Senate failed again and forty eight
Democrats voted against opening up the government.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
This was a scene in the Senate Tuesday on this vote.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
The age of fifty fourth and as of forty five
three fists of the Senate duly chosen and sworn not
having voted any firm. The motion upon reconsideration is not
agreed to you.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Shutdown has stretched into its fourth week.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
This comes as a group of Democratic states in Washington,
DC are suing the Trump administration as millions are set
to lose food assistance on Saturday. Meanwhile, flank delays are
starting to pile up as air traffic control towers deal
with staffing issues.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They vote against opening the government up, then they sue
the president because the government isn't opening up.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You can't make this up.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Hurricane Melissa hitch Jamaica as a Cat five, then hit
earlier this morning Cuba as a Cat three. It's headed
next to the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, and the
World series got evened up in two games apiece, the
Blue Jays six to two over the Dodgers last night.
Game five is tonight seven o'clock on Fox, and it
will return to Toronto. Birthdays today Richard Dreyfus seventy eight,
(16:13):
Kate Jackson seventy seven, Monoda Ryder fifty four. And if
it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you were born.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Roy O'Neil has the very latest Hamas of course, is
not going to leave without a fight. He didn't convert them,
He just negotiated with him, but they broke the ceasefire
shooting at Israeli soldiers Netne who says he's going to
get back at him. We'll find out where the volatility
of that stands with Rory coming up in minutes from now.
And we're thrilled to have Brett Behar from Fox News
joining us earlier this morning. And Michael, your day isn't
(16:53):
busy enough, is it?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
There you go, I'm out west right now, so it's
a little early.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh you're really sleepy. Well, you've done Ike, You've done Reagan,
You've done Fdr Grant Washington, and now Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Why tech Well listen, it was he's a consequential figure
in history.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
He kind of jumps off the page.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
The anecdotes are so rich, and you know he's he's
obviously on Mount Rushmore and is very significant. But each
one of these books I look kind of at a
soda straw moment that maybe history overlooked or wasn't covered
at the time that well, or didn't get talked about.
And one of the things with Teddy Roosevelt is that
(17:33):
his legacy, he wanted his legacy to be that he
put America on the map in the world, that he
was a global leader, that America was leaning forward in
the world. And he does that by reaching out to
two warring nations Russia and Japan fighting over a territorial dispute.
(17:56):
It's evolving into what could become a world war. And
he telegrams, writes letters to the leaders of those countries,
gets messages to them and says, I will host a
peace negotiation.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
In the US.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
And he brings the delegations from Russia and Japan to Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, and he sets up the logistics and he
sets up all of the peace treaty negotiations, and he
shuttles back and forth. He becomes the guy the crucial
element to getting a peace deal between Russia and Japan.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
He does it and it gets the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
So you do realize this kind of sounds like somebody exactly,
And this is so crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Every time I write one of these books, it seems
like it clicks into modern day one way or another.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You know, it's funny, these journeys. My friend David Sinati
just finished a book on John Quincy Adams, who was
always one of my favorite presidents the Sun and maybe
one of the most accomplished American servants ever. And it's
amazing these life lessons they're out there in this and
I can't imagine the amount of research you do. But
in all of this research, what surprised you the most
(19:07):
that you discovered that maybe none of us even noticed.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Yeah, well, first of all, he's a super complex guy.
He's not you know, all these people are humans, so
they have ups and downs, they have flaws.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
They have great things.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
One of the things that surprised me is how much
he valued family, how much that he took time out
of every day to play with his kids, even inside
the White House.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
At four o'clock, his kids would come run.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Into the office and say, Paul, it's time, and he
would say goodbye to whoever he was with, and he
would go run the halls of the White House with
roller skates and bicycles and there were animals inside him.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It was like a fun playhouse at times.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Edith, his wife at the time, said that he was
the seventh child. They had six kids, and so I
was surprised at how much he valued family. And that
was something that really came out through the research.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Ike Reagan, Fdr Grant Washington, Where's Teddy fitting and all
of this.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
You know, he's a different character, but definitely consequential and
makes the difference. You know, he gives this speech after
he leaves office in Paris called the Citizenship in the
Republic speech, which eventually becomes the Man in the Arena speech,
and it is basically, get in the game, be a doer,
(20:34):
do something. Don't be the critic on the sidelines that's
you know, throwing grenades at the guy who's doing something.
Be the person who's down in the mud. And he
was one of those people. And if you look at
his life along the way. He's just got so many
different chapters of his life, but they add up to
(20:56):
something that's really consequential.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Hands down my favorite at Fox Brett Barry his new
book on Teddy Roosevelt. Research can only take it so far,
especially when we go this far back in time. Any
unresolved questions you have for Teddy, if you could ask him,
they could complete the book for you, what would it
have been.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, that's such a good question.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
You know, he was a troublemaker in each position that
he went into, and the establishment hated him, and he
was always stirring the pod and pushing the envelope, And yeah,
I guess I would ask would he change anything about that?
In some ways, to be more diplomatic, to get along,
(21:38):
to be along to you know, somehow, you know, work
through some of that.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
In each job he.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Is sort of promoted out of it because they're trying
to get him out of there. And and the ultimate
is when he's New York governor and the establishment says,
this guy is too much. We have to put him
someplace where he doesn't do any harm. And where do
they put vice President? And you know, at the time
it was a very ceremonial position, and McKinley's friends say
(22:09):
to him, why are you putting this crazy man here?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Whatever you do, your number.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
One job is to not die in the next four
years so that he's not president. And six months later
an assassin takes McKinley out in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So this disruptive force sounds very much like Trump. I
sense that Donald Trump is a big JFK guy. I
think he's probably a big Washington guy. Are you suspicious?
Maybe he knows a little bit more about Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Than he's let on. I think so.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
I do think so there are similarities. You know, Teddy
Roosevelt is called a human cyclone. I've been through days
where I've ripped up my rundown of my newscast six
times because of the human cyclone of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
So we all have.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Yeah, I think I think he knows a little bit more.
He was a fan of McKinley, though he was you know,
he re established the Mount McKinley. He McKinley liked tariffs,
and you know, he points to McKinley, but he looks
at Teddy Roosevelt as a character and larger than life,
and that's what he is.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right, Bear, What a thrill it is to visit with
you when you study all these early presidents and you
compare them, not just to today's presidents, but today's America.
It's almost an obsession on the presidency and an over
focus on the presidency, and presidents love to stretch their powers.
We're different, the presidency is different. Are we worse?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, you know, that's a great question.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
I think that the founders believed that it was crucial
to have that balance. You know, the last book I
wrote was to Rescue the Constitution about George Washington, and
focused in the Soda Straw moment on the Constitutional Convention
and how much George Washington meant to that we as
a country would not get off the arting line without
(24:01):
George Washington and what he did inside that room.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
But they really cared about the balance. I think the.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Balance has gotten, you know, arguably more focused on the
presidency and the executive And one of the people who
did that was Teddy Roosevelt. And from George Washington to McKinley,
so President one through twenty five collectively, all of them
signed twelve hundred executive orders. Teddy Roosevelt signed thirteen hundred
(24:31):
executive orders in his presidency.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Now you talk about expanding the executive.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
A lot of that had to do with conservation and
protecting specific lands and national parks and forests and all
that he believed in, which really, to this day is
a huge, huge deal for America that we saved all
that land. But still you talk about expanding the executive.
Teddy Roosevelt did that.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Bright Bear of Fox News, author of To Rescue the
American Spirit, Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower.
All right, well, it's going to beg the question they
should consume this one and if they haven't read your
special heartbook, read that.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
But what could be next? Yeah, I'm not sure the
who I'm going to dig in.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
I'm going to look for another soda straw moment that's
overlooked in history.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I do know.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
I'll tell you, but I haven't put it out there yet,
but it'll come out soon that I'm going to do
a compilation book with all six presidents and interviews with
consequential people around America.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Ahead of the two hundred and fiftieth. So it's called the.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Case for America, making sort of like a Case for
the country before a jury of your peers, the readers,
and so the case for America will come out and
you see twenty six.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Do you see why I love you?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Look, this is the tugle war of twenty twenty six.
America is going to turn two hundred and fifty. The
left does not want you reading the Declaration of Independence
exploring any of the intent of the Declaration of Independence.
I think the right is going to fight for that,
and then there just can't be enough emphasis on our
intent on nonfounding fathers on this document on our two
(26:09):
hundred and fiftieth birthday, and you're right there fighting the
battle for it.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Well, I mean, listen, I really think that it's important,
and I really think that in each one of these presidents,
each one was really striving to reach across the aisle.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
They all have some element of common ground.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
And I have that thing on my show, common Ground,
and I bring left and right together talking about what
they're working on as opposed to what they're fighting about.
And I headed the two fiftieth I just don't think
there's anything more important than realizing that there is something
bigger than all of us in our party, in our
ideology that the country itself is worth fighting for.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I said you're my favorite. I trust you. I trust
you when my television's on. I don't trust many others.
I am not going to insult you, although listeners are
going to probably want me to ask you a questiones
because of all the rumors that are flying, I'm just
going to leave it at wherever you go, I will
go with you, and I will trust you even if
you don't go.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So well, you're nice to phrase it that way. Yeah,
there's a lot of a lot of noise out there.
I'll just live it this way. I have a long
term contract, so it's all noise. Really.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh good, don't go anywhere. That's all I at. Hey, listen,
the books are terrific. But if you've never Dad's out there,
if you've never read Special Heart, The Journey of Faith, Hope, courage,
and love, the personal story of a father and a
family and a son. And it has a happy ending too,
(27:38):
because life is all about the journey, right the destination
that that's where our character is really formed. I loved
your heart in that and I want everyone to read that.
It was It's a it's a pretty special book. It's
just a pleasure to meet you. I love your books.
I love you most on Fox.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Thank you very much. Really enjoyed this interview. Brett Bear.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
The name of the book to Rescue the American Spirit,
Teddy Roosevelt, who sounds a lot like Donald Trump and
the birth of a Superpower. You can get that anywhere
great books are sold. By the way, he makes constant
references to soda, straw, a straw moment. I know you're
probably thinking of a big shake with a straw, and
so to a straw moment like an American moment. No,
(28:17):
so to straw is like when you take the straw
and you just look through the straw at something. You're
not seeing the whole picture. What we're missing. That's how
you missed the forest from the trees, so to speak.
But I am so encouraged that he is going to
be doing something on the two hundred and fiftieth birthday
(28:38):
of our country and the document that started it all,
the Declaration of Independence. Brettbear with Fox News. If you
want to share that with somebody, I'll put it up
on social media. Also, be on our podcast about an
hour and fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
This is your morning show. With Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Fifty three minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, October the twenty ninth,
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno and
all eyes were on Melissa. Melissa hit Jamaica Cat five
and then earlier this morning hit Cuba a Category three.
Where is she now? Rory O'Neill is joining us with
the very latest Rory, Yeah, good morning, Michael. Now down
(29:26):
to a category two hurricane. Maximum sustained wins one hundred
and five miles per hour.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
It is the center of the storm. The eye is
on the eastern tip of Cuba. The storm is moving
north northeast. The good news year, it's moving at fourteen
miles per hour, so it's really picking up some of
that forward speed. The Bahamas are starting to feel the
effects of the storm. Now Bermuda could be a target
by tomorrow. Then it's off to the open Atlantic.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And search rescue, recovery in Jamaica, that seemed to be
the hardest hit.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yeah, that really is just beginning.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Because of the lack of power, obviously, they have to
wait for sunrise, so they've only had a couple of
hours to do big damage assessments on the western part
of the island. Kingston may have been largely spared by this,
which is encouraging news as they look for the logistical
challenge that they now face being an island to try
to get those relief supplies in to those who are
(30:23):
in desperate need right now.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Rory, great reporting is always thank you. Another news, House
Republicans are asking for the Justice Department to launch an
investigation into the use of the auto pen by the
Biden administration.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
In a report released on Tuesday, the GOP led House
Oversent Committee sent despite past presidents using auto pens, former
President Biden was cognitively impaired and his staff took advantage
with a NASA fair approach. Sure James Comer asked the
Department of Health Sport of Medicine to investigate Biden's doctor.
The report labeled any action as a void if there's
(30:55):
no evidence that Biden himself took executive action. Report doesn't
name a singular incident that the autopan was used without
BIDES authorization.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Visitors to federal parks they may want to avoid the
public restrooms.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Many across the US haven't been cleaned since the government
shutdown began weeks ago, so the facilities are a little
worse for the wear. Some parks, such as Rocket Creek
and Washington, d C. Have set up porta John's. Sanitation
crews from the National Park Service are among the nine
thousand plus of the agency's fourteen thousand, five hundred employees furloughed.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I'm Jim Roup.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, scrolling is more than an addiction. A health expert
at the Cleveland Clinic is emphasizing the health impact of
too much phone scrolling.
Speaker 11 (31:39):
Talk to Adam Borland, a psychologist, says what's known as
doom scrolling can fuel stress, anxiety, and even disrupt sleep.
He says to avoid this at screen time limits, he
suggests starting with realistic goals and using an alarm to
signal when your screen time is up. He says, once
the alarm goes off, do something more positive for mental health,
like going for a walk or doing a hobby.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I'm tammaged. Thanks for he well, other.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Than come on, come on, come on, come on, not
touching me, babe. I'm not that big of a doors fan,
but they are celebrating their sixtieth anniversary rereleasing the documentary
film When You're Strange Strange.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Thanks to Coming on.
Speaker 6 (32:19):

first time and will feature an introduction from John Densmore
and Robbie Kreeger, as well as the exclusive debut of
the newly recorded performance.

Speaker 6 (32:33):
The film will be released worldwide in theaters on December
fourth and sixth. Tickets go on sale this Thursday. I'm
Mark neephiewd Well.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Today is definitely my wife Andrea's Day.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
For over twenty five national days every year that celebrate cats.
If you ask a cat, that's not enough because if
you have one, you know every day is National Cat Day.
They know the exact moment you need to get up
and that's when they jump on your lap, so you
can't typical cat behavior and we love it. To celebrate today,
shower your cat with affection, donate to an animal shelter,
(33:03):
or better yet, adopt a cat or two and learn
how awesome they are for yourself.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I'm pre Tennis. I love my little dumpster cat.
Speaker 1 (33:11):

Speaker 2 (34:13):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Nheld, Joe now
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Good morning, seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, October,
the twenty ninth, Hurricane Melissa moved through Jamaica. We have
a death toll of seven, though that is expected to
rise greatly over five hundred thousand without power. A Cat
five hurricane end of October, slamming Jamaica, then moving on
to Cuba, where it made landfall about four or five
(00:52):
hours ago. There were about seven hundred and fifty thousand
that had evacuated prior to the storm, and the good
news it was a Cat three upon arrival in Cuba.
We're keeping an eye on both Cuba, Jamaica and where
it's headed, which will be a portion of the Virgin
Islands and then on to Bermuda. Twenty five Democrat led
(01:14):
states are suing the Trump administration for what forty eight
Democrats voted for last night, the government to remain shut down.
But they're blaming Trump and they're going to sue Trump
over food stamps. Blue Jays, what can you say? You
lose a heartbreaker in eighteen innings, you come back hours later,
you should be tired. They weren't, and the bats were
(01:35):
alive and they pounded Ottani and Blue Jays have tied
up the World Series at two games apiece. So the
World Series will return to Toronto. The question is who
will be up three games to two when they get there.
We'll find out. Game five is tonight in Los Angeles.
And I was just looking over my notes, so we
were live on the air Brett Barr by the way,
(01:57):
coming up next half hour on his new book of
Theodore Roosevelt. And I remember, I think it was me
and you, David David's and audio senior contributors here, and
we said, gee, is.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Anybody noticing all not just Elon?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
All the tech giants are at the inauguration. So you
had Elon Musk, you had Zuckerberger Zuckerberg, Meta and Facebook.
You had Bezos from Amazon, you had cook from Apple,
and Peacha from Google. I mean, all the tech giants
were there and we were like, what's up with this? Well,
(02:34):
remember how they defeated Donald Trump number one in twenty
twenty in the shadow campaign to save the democracy. They
controlled the narrative because they had the networks in the
media in their back pocket. They silenced any opposition views
how they controlled the Internet and the tech. Then they
weaponized COVID. Then they changed election laws without going through
(02:55):
state legislatures, which was unconstitutional. Then they harvested ballots and
swing districts of states. Some would call that cheating, fair
and square. Some will call that shadow campaign to save democracy.
We had to do it. Some will call it stealing.
And a big part of that were the tech giants.
And then in twenty twenty four, you could make the
case they got Trump elected. Where are they going to
(03:17):
be in twenty twenty eight? Why is the big story today?
Bill Gates pivots away from climate strategy. Our senior contributor,
Davidson Audius here to connect all the dots in our
journey of discovery.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Good morning, David, Good morning, Michael. You just can't make
this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I wish we were.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Well, it's so fascinating because Bill Gates, well, I don't
even know where to begin. Let's restate the core basis
of the story, and that is that Bill Gates sent
out a memo seventeen pages sending it off to the
United Nations in advance of a large meeting at the UN,
(03:58):
basically saying, never mind, okay, after all that they have
done to destroy the world, you.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Can't call off an existential threat, can you.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
This?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
They made the word existential irrelevance in this entire process.
There is no way to quantify the trillions of dollars
that have been invested in lost and thrown away and
misdirected based upon people like Bill Gates, the money players,
the massive money tech players who decided that global warming
(04:33):
was their cost of lect. Furthermore, and this is the
one you won't hear anywhere else in America today. Where
in the world is John Podesta? They waited until the
Auto pen presidency being run and orchestrated in the back
room by John Podesta writing checks to global climate political
allies had exhausted the Green New Deal, inflation money, hundreds
(04:57):
of billions of dollars, and then Podesta just totally disappeared
in oh ten months later.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
So global warming.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
All right, So there's no existential and there's no integrity, right.
I always said, you know, on this whole global warming thing,
the only one I respect is at Bagley Junior. At
least he's driving around in an electric cocard because you know,
Al Gore with light shining on his trees when he's
not home at one of his foreign mansions, or all
these people flying on jets abroad to these meetings, they're
proven hypocrites. I mean, if you really believed that global
(05:29):
warming is man caused to be man solved or we're
all going to die and very soon, you wouldn't act
this way and you wouldn't change your mind because you
need energy for your AI. So that's number one. Number two,
This was always about control. It's about control and greed
control from a standpoint of they wanted to baby able
(05:49):
to control the entire globe. Well, the problem with that
is economic and military superpowers. So Jenna twenty one was
about redistributing wealth to make superpowers minimize and developing nations
developed for the purposes of control, which we saw. They
were shocked. They were able to do with COVID, but
could never get you to do it with global warming.
(06:11):
COVID you feared death, global warming you didn't buy. And
now they're admitting it was all alive. So why now, David, Well, why.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Now that the answer there is energy. The fact is
that Gates and all of his allies and colleagues. Now again,
I want to be careful because usually Elon Musk in
the past that always been named in that crew, the
row two tech giants that were at the inauguration, all
there amazingly smiling.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It was.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It was a remarkable scene, and most people missed it
that Elon Musk had already made a remarkable and significant
departure into a different way of thinking.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So Musk is out on you.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So four out of five Judas showing up after the resurrection,
Now let's let's talk.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So the question is a simple formula. Here is energy.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
The energy companies showed up at the inaugura or the well,
it's almost the same thing. Now the tech company showed
up at the inauguration because to save their bacon, they
now are moving to AI, and AI, of course is
what they're going to intimidate all the rest of us
with is if you don't get on this and you
don't get into the new non human, anti human world
(07:24):
of AI, one of the greatest insults to the human race.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Of all history.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah, what's going to end up happening is, of course
you'll be left behind in an igloo in the dust,
eating frozen hot dogs. This is your world, this is
the world unless you come along with us into this
brave new world. Well to do that, they need right
now more energy than we can produce by far. I've
heard all kinds of illustrations, but somebody said their energy
demands recently would be like adding the entire country of
(07:53):
Japan onto our grid at one time. So what's going
to end up happening. Somebody is going to get left
with candles. They don't care if all of us end
up in candlelight, as long as they get the energy
that they need.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So the problem is.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That we warm up to the point of rising seas
and depth.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
It makes no difference whatsoever because it's all about their profitability,
their shareholders, and their legends of their foundations. So they
need energy, which means they need power plants, which means
they need nuclear, which now means suddenly nuclear is going
to be the new cool thing and coddling up to
whatever government we have to get the licenses that are necessary. Now,
(08:34):
what they'll want to do is make us pay for
their power. The answer to this is for state and
federal government to basically say to them, byop, you want
to build satellite farms, you want to build server farms,
you want to build AI bring your own power. Is
the capacity and the technology in the science today exists
that each of these places could have their own power
(08:55):
sources with nuclear and they should have to build their
own on their own die.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
All right, but let me remind you David Sinati joining us.
We just talked about how big tech united to remove
Trump in twenty twenty, then they united to get them
elected in twenty twenty four. They were all at his inauguration,
So they're surrounding power. I haven't even brought up the lobbyists.
Will the American people have an honest broker in between
(09:20):
to make sure that if they want to have a farm,
they bring their own power.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Will we have a fighting chance? And this is going
to be something that's got to happen from the bottom up.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Michael.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
It's got to happen from Pittsburgh to San Francisco to
Maine to Florida's every state in the Union.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
People have to wake up and realize that these.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Guys will take what they want and use what they will,
and they want us to always, always, always pick up
the bill.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
This is who they are.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
We have to fight at the state and local level
and at the federal level. Look, I'm not saying that
the question on the table is should there be AI
or not. That's already a little bit lost. The question
is who's going to pay for the energy and will
need to pay one way or the other. They'll either
tax us to build it or they'll take our energy
away from us.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
By the way, the energy, the airwaves, the resources that.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Are being used by these companies have always been considered
a public trust. That's why you have public utility commissions
all over the place. These guys want to come out
just like in the Gilded Era, where Standard of New
York controlled all the kerosene, Every lamp was lit, came
through Standard oil, and every standard oil barrel came through
a Vanderbilt train. They want a new Gilded Age, and
(10:29):
they believe that they represent that age, and they always
want somebody else to pay their bill. We need to
stand up to these companies and say no, you're going
to pay your own bill.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The question is who are they going to be behind
in twenty twenty eight? In other words, are they mega
loyalists Republican loyalists? Do they not really care? They want
to create an energy crisis that can be solved as
opposed to paying for their own energy as they go
with the product they're going to profit from.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's where this is heading.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And this is going to be the sleeper, just like
people tried to not notice all those guys on Rod too.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Not a sleeper, David, I'm sorry to interrupt. That's a
game changer. Well, they just proved that they could get
Donald Trump removed from office in twenty twenty. They just
prove they can get them right back in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Who's going to be the.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
One that says no to them and think they can win?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, that's the fair question, all right, But that will
also mean that the lead of this story will be
largely buried. Will see it, other people will see it.
But why are we the only ones talking about it
this morning? Because the power of energy companies, and the
power of tech companies is basically the power that controls,
with a few other elements, state legislatures as well. We
(11:41):
have more to fear from these companies than we do
from just about any other type of organization in this country.
Let me give you one example, Michael, the Associated Press
is carrying the leads story.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
On Bill Gates making his change.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
You could have planned that story anyhow, in as they're
carrying very soft pedaling Bill Gates's decision that it's not
time to move off of the existential threat to the
human race. And here's a line from their story. Gates,
whose foundation provides financial support for Associated Press coverage of
health and development in Africa, is influential in the climate
(12:19):
change conversation. He expects his tough truths about climate memo
will be controversial. How many other disclaimers are there out there?
Gates who funds this organization, Gates who funds that tank,
Gates who paid for this advertising, Gates who paid for
this concert, Gates who Gates Gates and then add all
the others. These people are well positioned and they use
(12:42):
their influence to get what they want, and what they
want sadly, is not the healing of the universe. Now
that may be one of their objectives, now, the lining
of their pockets.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
All right, So, David and I's a CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable, host of the Public Square, and our
senior contributor.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
This all home.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So I'm thoroughly convinced that, like, if you're a Republican
or a Democrat and you're in these two party machines,
you don't mind the divided states of America. You don't
demand you don't mind the social dilemma and how we're
all fighting and hating each other, because while we're busy
fighting each other, they're ruling in power.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Do you get a sense that all of.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
These tech giants and AI giants they don't care if
we're fighting either. In other words, I don't even think
they are really honest or care if the next president
is a Democrat or Republican as long as they're getting
their energy, as.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Long as they control the process. The other thing, Michael,
about this is extend your premise. These large corporations, energy corporations,
the gambling industry, others. They know that control of Congress
and control of state legislature is the real game. They
spend billions of dollars controlling these pockets of government so
they can win from the bottom or they can win
(13:54):
from the top, and they're always playing the game at
both sides all the time. Now they have every right
to do this. It's their money. We have to remember
that we're the ones who've made them wealthy, as sooner
or later we have the right and perhaps the power
to say now.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm up against a heartbreak. But I would say you
and I are both aware of the stuff that's happening
online with some pretty big names. There's nothing to comment
on yet, but something's brewing and it stinks to high habits.
We're keeping an eye on that. There is a chance
that the left civil War.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Is going to go.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Crazy wild West socialist left. The right's going to have
some kind of major fight and explosion and discrediting in
and of itself, and these guys are going to walk
right down the middle and solve everybody's crisis by lining
their pockets. And we'll all be reading I don't know C. S.
(14:48):
Lewis by Cabin Candlelight, What an amazing picture that no
one else is painting but us. You're coming back tomorrow, right, right,
all right, we'll talk to you then.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltono.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well, there's two sides of this coin.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
One side is the Senate failed again and forty eight
Democrats voted against opening up the government.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
This was a scene in the Senate Tuesday on this vote.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
The age of fifty fourth and as of forty five
three fists of the Senate duly chosen and sworn not
having voted any firm. The motion upon reconsideration is not
agreed to you.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Shutdown has stretched into its fourth week.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
This comes as a group of Democratic states in Washington,
DC are suing the Trump administration as millions are set
to lose food assistance on Saturday. Meanwhile, flank delays are
starting to pile up as air traffic control towers deal
with staffing issues.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They vote against opening the government up, then they sue
the president because the government isn't opening up.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You can't make this up.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Hurricane Melissa hitch Jamaica as a Cat five, then hit
earlier this morning Cuba as a Cat three. It's headed
next to the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, and the
World series got evened up in two games apiece, the
Blue Jays six to two over the Dodgers last night.
Game five is tonight seven o'clock on Fox, and it
will return to Toronto. Birthdays today Richard Dreyfus seventy eight,
(16:13):
Kate Jackson seventy seven, Monoda Ryder fifty four. And if
it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you were born.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Roy O'Neil has the very latest Hamas of course, is
not going to leave without a fight. He didn't convert them,
He just negotiated with him, but they broke the ceasefire
shooting at Israeli soldiers Netne who says he's going to
get back at him. We'll find out where the volatility
of that stands with Rory coming up in minutes from now.
And we're thrilled to have Brett Behar from Fox News
joining us earlier this morning. And Michael, your day isn't
(16:53):
busy enough, is it?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
There you go, I'm out west right now, so it's
a little early.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh you're really sleepy. Well, you've done Ike, You've done Reagan,
You've done Fdr Grant Washington, and now Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Why tech Well listen, it was he's a consequential figure
in history.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
He kind of jumps off the page.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
The anecdotes are so rich, and you know he's he's
obviously on Mount Rushmore and is very significant. But each
one of these books I look kind of at a
soda straw moment that maybe history overlooked or wasn't covered
at the time that well, or didn't get talked about.
And one of the things with Teddy Roosevelt is that
(17:33):
his legacy, he wanted his legacy to be that he
put America on the map in the world, that he
was a global leader, that America was leaning forward in
the world. And he does that by reaching out to
two warring nations Russia and Japan fighting over a territorial dispute.
(17:56):
It's evolving into what could become a world war. And
he telegrams, writes letters to the leaders of those countries,
gets messages to them and says, I will host a
peace negotiation.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
In the US.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
And he brings the delegations from Russia and Japan to Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, and he sets up the logistics and he
sets up all of the peace treaty negotiations, and he
shuttles back and forth. He becomes the guy the crucial
element to getting a peace deal between Russia and Japan.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
He does it and it gets the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
So you do realize this kind of sounds like somebody exactly,
And this is so crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Every time I write one of these books, it seems
like it clicks into modern day one way or another.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You know, it's funny, these journeys. My friend David Sinati
just finished a book on John Quincy Adams, who was
always one of my favorite presidents the Sun and maybe
one of the most accomplished American servants ever. And it's
amazing these life lessons they're out there in this and
I can't imagine the amount of research you do. But
in all of this research, what surprised you the most
(19:07):
that you discovered that maybe none of us even noticed.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Yeah, well, first of all, he's a super complex guy.
He's not you know, all these people are humans, so
they have ups and downs, they have flaws.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
They have great things.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
One of the things that surprised me is how much
he valued family, how much that he took time out
of every day to play with his kids, even inside
the White House.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
At four o'clock, his kids would come run.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Into the office and say, Paul, it's time, and he
would say goodbye to whoever he was with, and he
would go run the halls of the White House with
roller skates and bicycles and there were animals inside him.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It was like a fun playhouse at times.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Edith, his wife at the time, said that he was
the seventh child. They had six kids, and so I
was surprised at how much he valued family. And that
was something that really came out through the research.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Ike Reagan, Fdr Grant Washington, Where's Teddy fitting and all
of this.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
You know, he's a different character, but definitely consequential and
makes the difference. You know, he gives this speech after
he leaves office in Paris called the Citizenship in the
Republic speech, which eventually becomes the Man in the Arena speech,
and it is basically, get in the game, be a doer,
(20:34):
do something. Don't be the critic on the sidelines that's
you know, throwing grenades at the guy who's doing something.
Be the person who's down in the mud. And he
was one of those people. And if you look at
his life along the way. He's just got so many
different chapters of his life, but they add up to
(20:56):
something that's really consequential.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Hands down my favorite at Fox Brett Barry his new
book on Teddy Roosevelt. Research can only take it so far,
especially when we go this far back in time. Any
unresolved questions you have for Teddy, if you could ask him,
they could complete the book for you, what would it
have been.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, that's such a good question.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
You know, he was a troublemaker in each position that
he went into, and the establishment hated him, and he
was always stirring the pod and pushing the envelope, And yeah,
I guess I would ask would he change anything about that?
In some ways, to be more diplomatic, to get along,
(21:38):
to be along to you know, somehow, you know, work
through some of that.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
In each job he.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Is sort of promoted out of it because they're trying
to get him out of there. And and the ultimate
is when he's New York governor and the establishment says,
this guy is too much. We have to put him
someplace where he doesn't do any harm. And where do
they put vice President? And you know, at the time
it was a very ceremonial position, and McKinley's friends say
(22:09):
to him, why are you putting this crazy man here?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Whatever you do, your number.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
One job is to not die in the next four
years so that he's not president. And six months later
an assassin takes McKinley out in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So this disruptive force sounds very much like Trump. I
sense that Donald Trump is a big JFK guy. I
think he's probably a big Washington guy. Are you suspicious?
Maybe he knows a little bit more about Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Than he's let on. I think so.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
I do think so there are similarities. You know, Teddy
Roosevelt is called a human cyclone. I've been through days
where I've ripped up my rundown of my newscast six
times because of the human cyclone of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
So we all have.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Yeah, I think I think he knows a little bit more.
He was a fan of McKinley, though he was you know,
he re established the Mount McKinley. He McKinley liked tariffs,
and you know, he points to McKinley, but he looks
at Teddy Roosevelt as a character and larger than life,
and that's what he is.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right, Bear, What a thrill it is to visit with
you when you study all these early presidents and you
compare them, not just to today's presidents, but today's America.
It's almost an obsession on the presidency and an over
focus on the presidency, and presidents love to stretch their powers.
We're different, the presidency is different. Are we worse?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, you know, that's a great question.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
I think that the founders believed that it was crucial
to have that balance. You know, the last book I
wrote was to Rescue the Constitution about George Washington, and
focused in the Soda Straw moment on the Constitutional Convention
and how much George Washington meant to that we as
a country would not get off the arting line without
(24:01):
George Washington and what he did inside that room.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
But they really cared about the balance. I think the.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Balance has gotten, you know, arguably more focused on the
presidency and the executive And one of the people who
did that was Teddy Roosevelt. And from George Washington to McKinley,
so President one through twenty five collectively, all of them
signed twelve hundred executive orders. Teddy Roosevelt signed thirteen hundred
(24:31):
executive orders in his presidency.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Now you talk about expanding the executive.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
A lot of that had to do with conservation and
protecting specific lands and national parks and forests and all
that he believed in, which really, to this day is
a huge, huge deal for America that we saved all
that land. But still you talk about expanding the executive.
Teddy Roosevelt did that.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Bright Bear of Fox News, author of To Rescue the
American Spirit, Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower.
All right, well, it's going to beg the question they
should consume this one and if they haven't read your
special heartbook, read that.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
But what could be next? Yeah, I'm not sure the
who I'm going to dig in.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
I'm going to look for another soda straw moment that's
overlooked in history.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I do know.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
I'll tell you, but I haven't put it out there yet,
but it'll come out soon that I'm going to do
a compilation book with all six presidents and interviews with
consequential people around America.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Ahead of the two hundred and fiftieth. So it's called the.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Case for America, making sort of like a Case for
the country before a jury of your peers, the readers,
and so the case for America will come out and
you see twenty six.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Do you see why I love you?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Look, this is the tugle war of twenty twenty six.
America is going to turn two hundred and fifty. The
left does not want you reading the Declaration of Independence
exploring any of the intent of the Declaration of Independence.
I think the right is going to fight for that,
and then there just can't be enough emphasis on our
intent on nonfounding fathers on this document on our two
(26:09):
hundred and fiftieth birthday, and you're right there fighting the
battle for it.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Well, I mean, listen, I really think that it's important,
and I really think that in each one of these presidents,
each one was really striving to reach across the aisle.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
They all have some element of common ground.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
And I have that thing on my show, common Ground,
and I bring left and right together talking about what
they're working on as opposed to what they're fighting about.
And I headed the two fiftieth I just don't think
there's anything more important than realizing that there is something
bigger than all of us in our party, in our
ideology that the country itself is worth fighting for.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I said you're my favorite. I trust you. I trust
you when my television's on. I don't trust many others.
I am not going to insult you, although listeners are
going to probably want me to ask you a questiones
because of all the rumors that are flying, I'm just
going to leave it at wherever you go, I will
go with you, and I will trust you even if
you don't go.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So well, you're nice to phrase it that way. Yeah,
there's a lot of a lot of noise out there.
I'll just live it this way. I have a long
term contract, so it's all noise. Really.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh good, don't go anywhere. That's all I at. Hey, listen,
the books are terrific. But if you've never Dad's out there,
if you've never read Special Heart, The Journey of Faith, Hope, courage,
and love, the personal story of a father and a
family and a son. And it has a happy ending too,
(27:38):
because life is all about the journey, right the destination
that that's where our character is really formed. I loved
your heart in that and I want everyone to read that.
It was It's a it's a pretty special book. It's
just a pleasure to meet you. I love your books.
I love you most on Fox.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Thank you very much. Really enjoyed this interview. Brett Bear.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
The name of the book to Rescue the American Spirit,
Teddy Roosevelt, who sounds a lot like Donald Trump and
the birth of a Superpower. You can get that anywhere
great books are sold. By the way, he makes constant
references to soda, straw, a straw moment. I know you're
probably thinking of a big shake with a straw, and
so to a straw moment like an American moment. No,
(28:17):
so to straw is like when you take the straw
and you just look through the straw at something. You're
not seeing the whole picture. What we're missing. That's how
you missed the forest from the trees, so to speak.
But I am so encouraged that he is going to
be doing something on the two hundred and fiftieth birthday
(28:38):
of our country and the document that started it all,
the Declaration of Independence. Brettbear with Fox News. If you
want to share that with somebody, I'll put it up
on social media. Also, be on our podcast about an
hour and fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
This is your morning show. With Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Fifty three minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, October the twenty ninth,
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno and
all eyes were on Melissa. Melissa hit Jamaica Cat five
and then earlier this morning hit Cuba a Category three.
Where is she now? Rory O'Neill is joining us with
the very latest Rory, Yeah, good morning, Michael. Now down
(29:26):
to a category two hurricane. Maximum sustained wins one hundred
and five miles per hour.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
It is the center of the storm. The eye is
on the eastern tip of Cuba. The storm is moving
north northeast. The good news year, it's moving at fourteen
miles per hour, so it's really picking up some of
that forward speed. The Bahamas are starting to feel the
effects of the storm. Now Bermuda could be a target
by tomorrow. Then it's off to the open Atlantic.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And search rescue, recovery in Jamaica, that seemed to be
the hardest hit.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yeah, that really is just beginning.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Because of the lack of power, obviously, they have to
wait for sunrise, so they've only had a couple of
hours to do big damage assessments on the western part
of the island. Kingston may have been largely spared by this,
which is encouraging news as they look for the logistical
challenge that they now face being an island to try
to get those relief supplies in to those who are
(30:23):
in desperate need right now.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Rory, great reporting is always thank you. Another news, House
Republicans are asking for the Justice Department to launch an
investigation into the use of the auto pen by the
Biden administration.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
In a report released on Tuesday, the GOP led House
Oversent Committee sent despite past presidents using auto pens, former
President Biden was cognitively impaired and his staff took advantage
with a NASA fair approach. Sure James Comer asked the
Department of Health Sport of Medicine to investigate Biden's doctor.
The report labeled any action as a void if there's
(30:55):
no evidence that Biden himself took executive action. Report doesn't
name a singular incident that the autopan was used without
BIDES authorization.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Visitors to federal parks they may want to avoid the
public restrooms.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Many across the US haven't been cleaned since the government
shutdown began weeks ago, so the facilities are a little
worse for the wear. Some parks, such as Rocket Creek
and Washington, d C. Have set up porta John's. Sanitation
crews from the National Park Service are among the nine
thousand plus of the agency's fourteen thousand, five hundred employees furloughed.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I'm Jim Roup.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, scrolling is more than an addiction. A health expert
at the Cleveland Clinic is emphasizing the health impact of
too much phone scrolling.
Speaker 11 (31:39):
Talk to Adam Borland, a psychologist, says what's known as
doom scrolling can fuel stress, anxiety, and even disrupt sleep.
He says to avoid this at screen time limits, he
suggests starting with realistic goals and using an alarm to
signal when your screen time is up. He says, once
the alarm goes off, do something more positive for mental health,
like going for a walk or doing a hobby.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I'm tammaged. Thanks for he well, other.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
