Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven in Washington, DC and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work. But
as we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the
podcast on two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Gilchrum.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age
of eighty four. It's election day. Well gener rally come
through in New Jersey. Ooh, when the governor's raised in Virginia,
Well they get new maps in California as a socialist
about to become the mayor of our largest city. Ah,
just some of the questions, although probably the most important
question of the day yet to be answered is James
(00:57):
Carafana fifty four where you were report to Lieutenant Colonel A.
Wall But he is back from a long stint abroad.
It's time for us before we have our big conversation
to make our guesses. I'm going to say you were
last in Warsaw, Poland Jeffrey, I thought he was in
(01:20):
is Bekistan? Is Bekistan, no specific area, just as Bekistan,
just INDI general.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And read.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Budapest hungry. And the answer is what is what is
his word? I got in three today, by the way,
but I won't give away the word.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Where was I? I don't even remember.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I want to die and come back as your frequent flyer,
mierd Miles.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I was, I guess I was? I was in Rome.
I guess.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I wouldn't have thought that. You're usually somewhere you know,
more dramatic than that. All right, here's the premise. All
my life and all your life, from West Point to Service,
we've been fighting in wars with socialists and communist nations,
hot wars and cold wars. Now one of our two
major parties is majority socialist. The question for you, Lieutenant
(02:14):
Colonel James Carafano, is this a Democrat party problem or
are we at war with ourselves?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I do think it's a political problem. I mean, we're
a fifty to fifty country. We have two political parties
that are less ideologically and geographically diverse, and they're headed
in opposite directions. And so, you know, I've always argued
(02:43):
that the difference between the left and the right is
the left is driving towards a political orthodoxy, whereas the
right is essentially trying to gather a coalition of people
who just really interested in, you know, a better life.
And you know what we've consisted least seen is the
(03:04):
extremest views on the left have become kind of the
polestar magnet. And so do I don't think that the
drift to the left is surprising. The other reason is
what is driving the differences in the two parties. On
the on the right, it's it's clearly diversity. I mean,
(03:25):
you see Trump may in roads in every demographic except
kind of rich white women.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And on the left it's money.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And and that's why when you look at these major
protests that only do you see a lot of paid
protesters and funded things, you see a very increasingly narrow
demographic of people that are going to the streets. So
I think in New York City is a perfect example. Okay,
money engineered the nomination of a socialist that look, we
(04:00):
all know that New York is wildly democratic and a
Republican's never going to win in New York City. And
much like you saw these Soros das where we just
went in with a bunch of money and he put
a radical in and he's heavily read, and these heavily
blue places and they just get elected.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
That that's what's going on here.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And another way to ask the same question would be,
if socialism is so great, why were we warring against
socialism and communism all these years.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, you know, the short answer is it's not so.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Great, you know, And it's not like we have never
had socialist and communists in the United States. You remember,
there was a huge shift to the left, you know,
particularly in the nineteen thirties after the Great Depression. So
you know we've seen this played out before. But again,
I think largely you can contribute this to money and
(05:02):
to the fact that we allowed the left to kind
of capture all the cultural institutions, you know, from education
to Hollywood, and and then this was a virus that
I mean, I don't know how to describe it, that
was just injected.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So and immigration is in this too, right, as there
was a time where people came from all over the world,
but they assimilated, they left where they came from, they
denounced where they came from, they came and assimilated in America,
that became politically incorrect, and at that point we were
no longer a melting pot, but a melting culture. I mean,
it's sometimes in life is just all the above, right, Yeah,
(05:43):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Know, if you know, I think immigration has had a
narrow influence in that. I mean, a lot of our
immigrants have come from places where, you know, their politics
actually were not, you know, radically socialist, and but you know,
I would say that a lot of people just came
here because I mean, and this is the reason why
(06:06):
do we see massive illegal populations headed to the United
States and Canada and Germany and places like that, because
they have massive social safety nets and they're just letting
people in.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So a lot of people are just coming for the benjamins.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
But we do have in the US very radicalized immigrant
population that is not interested in most assimilation at all,
and it's interested in radical politics. Because we do have
this overlap of foreign interests and big leftist money in
(06:38):
the United States who are kind of heading the country
in the same place. I don't necessarily think for the
same reasons, but they kind of want the same thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us from the Heritage Foundation,
one of the largest think tanks in the world. You
can read his work and his colleagues great work at
Heritage dot org. While you were gone and literally I'll
never forget Jean Due freshman year, I noticed she didn't
call for like a week, and I was wondering, did
she break up with me? She did. I was shocked
that you came back to me. But while you were gone,
(07:09):
we've seen these targeted air strikes on drug boats, the
President saying he doesn't necessarily see us going into Venezuela
into war, but perhaps air strikes and troops on the
ground in Nigeria where Christians are being slaughtered. For a
president that's only halfway there in the Middle East, hasn't
been able to find peace with Russia and Ukraine. Does
(07:30):
he really want to expand to a new area.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Well, you know, I think the Western hemisphere is kind
of non negotiable. I mean, you cannot be secure unless
you're secure in your own backyard. And what I think
Trump really wants to do is we don't want to
get to where we have the next Cuban missile crisis,
and foreign influencers are so deeply embedded in the theater
that they're de stabilized in the country. And I do
(07:55):
think it's fair to say that the drug cartels have
gotten to that crossover point.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
You will forget and the four years under Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
And it's not political because you know, not political, but
the amount of money that the cartels were ACKed up
doing human trafficking, and you know, they don't care drugs, money, guns,
they don't care. The amount of money that they that
they deposited from human trafficking was mind boggling, and it
shows through their puffets over the top that they are
(08:25):
invested in in destabilized criminal networks in the United States.
And don't forget the Chinese who provide the precursors for
the fentanol.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
They don't make money off of this. They're losing money
on fentanyl, making a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
They're doing this specifically to destabilize the United States. So
between them, they're intentionally killing tens of thousands of Americans
every day. Now, this is a judgment call, and I
actually have a hard time to argue that this isn't
you know, clearly approaching the equivalent of narco terrorism against
(09:05):
the United States.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That's a legitimate target for the US.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And how long can you get away with just taking
out boats without confronting Venezuela directly, I.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Think a reasonable And I have no inside knowledge them
talking to aim about in government. I don't think you
build up this much military power just to intimidate people,
so I can see. I don't think they're going to
go for intentional regime change, but I could see the
US intentionally targeting narco terrorist groups inside of Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Closing moments with the Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano when our
briefing a lot of attention and I think I think
a lot of it originated with Ted Cruz, believe it
or not, who got the presidents here to start noticing this.
But the persecution of Christians in Africa and Nigeria to
be exact this this is definitely on the radar. How
is what's the best course about action to address this?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You know you'll have to see, you know, I don't think, well,
obviously not.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
This is not the policy of the Nigeria government.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
They're not out to see Christian slaughter. They have proven
sober incapable of dealing with this issue. It'll be interesting
to see how they respond to this. I think it
will be difficult militarily two two to do actions that
(10:35):
would significantly reduce the threat in a protracted way over
time without a more long term solution. So I I
kudos to the President for recognizing a very serious problem.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Absolutely, it is a serious problem. But like many things, you.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Know, Trump jumps in and he tries to get people's
attention to come up with a practical That's what we
saw in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
We didn't wind up in word or three in Gaza.
I think we're actually on a path to helping the
Gaza people.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We didn't mind up with war Worth three in Ukraine
run a path to helping the Ukrainian people. I'm hoping
we have a similar pathway in Nigeria, because I don't just.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
As a quick follow up though, I mean, there is
a flaw in all of these plans, and that is
what if we find out the Palestinian people inside the
Gaza really hate Israel, really hate America, really hate Jews,
really hate Christians, that they just weren't, you know, vulnerable
to thugs like the PLO or Hamas or in the
(11:35):
case of Nigeria Bokoharam, which is they're as violent as
they get. But what if we find out we have
a Islamist problem in these places, in which case in
Palestine in the Gaza, they're not going to want, you know,
to have peace and prosperity and anything less than radical Islam.
(11:58):
The same could be true in Nigeria. Are despite the government,
I mean, that's the tricky part for me. And seeing
how this moves forward.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Well I don't disagree, but the key goal here is
the security of Israel and uh and and then moving
beyond that to regional cooperation with the Arab nations. It's
getting Palestine off the plate as the hot button issue.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And you know, we all know that the people of Palestine.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Can have a fantastic future if they choose to choose
peace or war if they don't, you know, you know,
geopolitics is living with.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
The reality that you have, not the reality that you want.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
But the key goal here of one the security of Israel,
who basically who number one deserves that the people don't
deserve to be slaughtered for no reason. But also they're
a key US ally and demonstrating to the air of
nation that we are not indifferent to the Palestinian people
(13:02):
if they want to choose a positive future to help
create that. I think we're going to achieve those goals.
I mean, you know, the wrong thing is to think
that you can always come up with a foreign policy
solution that creates solves everybody's problem. It just makes everything
in the land of milk and honey that's usually doesn't
really happen. But can we do the essential things that
(13:25):
we need to do in the Middle East to protect
our interests at a reasonable cost and an emoticum of
risk that doesn't, you know, stuck us into the next Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I definitely think that's true in Venezuela. I don't think
we can jump in with boat feet in Nigeria and
solve Nigeria's problems, or that we even need to do that,
but I am of course we should, you know, if
we can do something positive there and constructive, we should.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And I think I'm.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I'm willing to give the president a little running ron
hair because it's honest track record so far it's pretty
damn good. Don't be about thousand percent. You know, and
you got to be careful in these things. But so
far he's demonstrated a remarkable ability to get good outcomes
and not tie the United States and intractable problems, which
(14:21):
is I think the perfect role for a guy that's
supposed to be the leader of the free world.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And Rome, Rome, that sounds more like a vacation. Wasn't
the same without you. So wonderful to have you back,
James Carafinald, Lieutenant colonel, read his great work and colleges
great work at Heritage dot org. Missed you terrible wonderful
to have you back. Have a great week, all right.
A recent Danish study revealed something heartbreaking. Just one year
after an abortion, women were fifty percent more likely to
(14:49):
need psychiatric treatment and eighty seven percent more likely to
experience personality or behavior disorders. Oh, it can all be
branded choice, But choices have consequences. That's not women's healthcare.
That's trauma. But at preborn women find real kind care,
(15:09):
the kind that heals. When a woman walks into a
Preborn Network clinic, she's welcomed with open arms. She's introduced
to her baby through an ultrasound. The ultrasound is the
ultimate game changer, and for the first time she sees life,
and she's offered hope and choices filled with hope. When
she chooses life, Preborn continues walking side by side with
(15:31):
her for up to two years, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling,
and so much more. Preborn cares for the entire woman body, mind,
and soul and the precious baby inside her. As you
think about the year end giving, I pray you will
consider the greatest investment you could ever make, the gift
(15:52):
of life. Just dial pound two fifty and say the
keyword baby. That's pound two fifty baby. Or you can
give by visiting Preborn dot com forward slash yms stands
for your morning show. That's Preborn dot com forward slash
yms or pound two point fifty keyword baby. All gifts
are tax deductible, and Preborn is a five star rated
(16:15):
charity when I've been proud to speak on behalf of
for almost a decade. Now let's put our money where
the life is Preborn. This is your morning show with
Michael del Chrono. I got a lot of issues over
here right now.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
What's going on.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm trying to broadcast to one hundred and seven radio markets.
I've got a big male, beautiful buck trapped in my
next door neighbors yard. During that break, I'm opening up
their gate trying to get him to come, but he
was too afraid. Meanwhile, I got a giant skunk dying
on my basketball court. There's some issues over here. That's nasty.
(16:52):
Please say we press on. It's election day in several states.
California's got the prop question. We've got governor's races in
New Jersey and virgin we have the mayor's race in
New York City. 'reo, and you'll be back with all
the election day stories, as will John Decker, our White
House correspondent, And I have sounds the day, this weekend,
next hour. If you're just waking up far and away.
The big breaking story our forty sixth The Vice President
(17:15):
of the United States, Dick Cheney has died at the
age of eighty four. Started in the Nixon administration as
an aide, went on to be an aid for President Ford,
and then elevated all the way to White House Chief
of Staff, became a representative from Wyoming, went on to
be the Secretary of Defense for h W. Bush and
then the running mate and vice president for George W. Bush,
(17:37):
Dick Cheney, dead at the age of eighty four.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
This is Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District, Belize.
And my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
Bell Joyner.

Would love to be a part of your morning routine.
But so glad you're here now enjoyed the podcast. I
just wanted to let you know that there is a
(18:23):
Snakers in our house somewhere.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Michael, send the steak after the skunk time. You're a
basketball court problem? You saw?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
What kind of what kind of friends are you all?
I got issues over here. Well, I want to want
you to know the giant buck mail dear jumped the
neighbors fence into my yard. I try to get him
to go out my gate. He wouldn't, but he finally
jumped my other fence and he's back into the woods.
Oh well, so about the skunk. This skunk is approaching
(18:53):
the foul line on my basketball court and it is
really sad. I mean it's like slowly dying and shaking.
I'd go comfort it, but you know it would spray me. Well. Yeah,
so we got some issues on and off the air today,
thirty six minutes after the hour. If you're in the
Central time zone, you got about twenty five minutes to
be to work by eight o'clock. And thanks for bringing
your morning show along with you on the air and
(19:15):
streaming live on your iHeart app. If you missed our
visit with Clay Travis, who's of the Clay and Buck Show.
He's out with a new book called Balls. How the
Democrats not just lost the election, They've lost men in America.
It is a real powerful culture gender look at the
(19:38):
significance of the previous election and the days to come.
You can catch that interview. It's an entirety on our podcast.
You'll find the link to our podcast at our website,
your Morningshow online dot com, or just search your morning
show into the iHeartRadio app and I'll pop right up.
We would be honored if you'd give us a preset
that way every morning. What do you think about ninth, Central,
(19:59):
ten Eastern. Yeah, podcast is up for sure, and look
for Clay Travis in our two all right elections of plenty.
We got Prop fifty out in California. We got governor's
races in New Jersey as well as Virginia. We got
the big mayor's race in New York. A lot on
the line today, and we saw Elon Musk and the
(20:19):
President come out and endorse Andrew Cuomo, encourage everyone in
New York to vote for Andrew Cuomo. Our White House
correspondent John Decker's hare with that and all of our
top stories.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you, Michael. I.
Hope you're doing well today. Yes, it's a big day.
Three races in particular that have national implications. The mayor's
race in New York City, the governor's race in Virginia,
and the governor's race in New Jersey. All of them
have the attention to President Trump, and as you point out,
the President last night endorsing for Mayor Andrew Cuomo, the
(20:53):
longtime Democratic governor of the state of New York, to
be New York city's next mayor.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Elon Musk
also coming out in support of Andrew Cuomo, as well
as support for the governor's race in New Jersey, which
I don't know if the President feels this way, but
I think it's the Republican's best chance for a win today.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Oh, I agree with you. It is their best chance
for Winnesday. I don't think they're going to win in Virginia.
I think the problem there is the candidate. The candidate
has never led in any public opinion poll. So the
focus for Republicans really is New Jersey. And wouldn't that
be remarkable for a Republican to win the governor's mansion
(21:37):
in New Jersey. It's always considered a blue state. Although
President Trump did much better than people expected in the
twenty twenty four presidential elections, so that may give an
indication that the Republican nominee has a shot, and polls
indicate it's essentially a toss up right now.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, I would think that Governor Hochal in New York
is watching this race closely, be because if New Jersey
can go red, Soka New York potentially there was support
for I believe Joe Biden plus sixteen percent in New Jersey,
and then, as you mentioned in twenty twenty four with
Kamala Harris, they just won by six percentage points. This one,
(22:17):
the latest poll shows virtually a dead heat heading into
election day today with Jack Chitdarelli. All right, and then
you know the mayor's race, everybody's focused on. You know,
it's really it's really a race of socialism versus capitalism.
I think at this point and win, loser, draw, Mom
Donnie is gonna certainly have a branding effect on the Democrats.
(22:39):
Why did the president I think, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I was gonna say, Michael, particularly if he wins, I mean,
he's going to be portrayed as the poster child for
the Democratic Party. This is the new Democratic Party if
Mandamie wins that race, and you know, the President actually
acts to way whether that's a better thing for Republicans
or what's a better thing for our country, and the
President weighing those two things, that has determined it's just
(23:05):
better that Andrew Cromo lead that city rather than a
person who the President described as a communist.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I would like to shamelessly brag on my friend, he's
not doing it. I'm doing it. But our President Donald
Trump paid tribute to you in a beautiful letter acknowledging
your many years of covering the White House. I think
this is your eighth presidency. So the passing of Dick Cheney,
the vice president forty sixth the vice president of the
United States, that would be an administration. I know you
(23:33):
covered your thoughts on the passing of Dick Cheney.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Well, look, it is not saying too much when you
talk about Dick Cheney being the most influential vice president
in American history. He was, and he preferred to be
in the background, providing advice and council to President George W.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Bush.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Interestingly enough, he never had presidential ambitions, never thought about
running for president, never ran for president, and of course
he had such a long time in public service. He
was named the White House Chief of Staff Michael at
the age of thirty four years old by Gray Cord
back in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That is crazy. And then he started as an aid
in sixty nine for Nixon, and the notion that he
would be chief of staff six years later from an
aid running around the White House, you know, right on
a coweg Yeah, and then of course eventually became Secretary
of Defense during a critical time of war War Persian
Golf War. And then and finally the son, George W.
(24:35):
Bush chooses him as a running mate. Always better behind
the scenes than really being likable in front of the scenes.
But that's a very strong character.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
He wasn't focused on that, never was. He didn't care
what his public approval rating was. He just focused on
policy and providing what he determined to be good policy
advice to President George W. Bush during the eight years
that they served together in the White House.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, make a long story short. The President's going to
be watching these elections from California to Virginia to New
Jersey to New York City today very closely. And John
Decker will be watching the president. You can learn more
during John Decker's podcast later this morning, nine Eastern, eighth Central,
the White House Briefing Room with John Decker. You'll find
it on your iHeartRadio app. Thank you, John. All Right,
forty two minutes after the hour, we are rocking and rolling,
(25:23):
and it's time for Sounds of the day.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
We will wait, we will win.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
This peak doesn't make him change. I am entertained. All right,
busy hour, all right, let's get sounds of the day again.
Shutdown entering its second month, now officially tied for the
longest shutdown in history. It's cause it's anyone's guess. Either
this is a party so obsessed with hatred for the
(25:59):
president that it's in obstruction mode and has become so
dysfunctional they'll even hurt their own constituents that they have to,
or they're afraid of the mob within their own party
that might come after them. Either way, the shutdown continues.
In House Speaker Johnson had this to say yesterday.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
But all the attention is focused primarily on New York City.
Why because the fear, the fear that Mamdani and all
that he represents will be risen to power, that he
will be elected the mayor of America's largest city, the
once cradle of capitalism, that we're going to have a Marxist,
(26:40):
a communist running the largest city.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Now. This terrifies the.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Establishment old guard Democrats in Washington, and the leaders of
both chambers are among those most terrified.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
They're both from New York.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Leader Hakim Jeffers is the Democrat in the House and
Leader Schumer in the Senate. They're both from New York
and they're terrified. Watched their actions carefully. Many of you
have not reported on it enough. Poor Jakim Jeffreys had
to ultimately, finally he was forced to endorse Bondani, and
he's terrified that he now owns the results of that.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
He does they owned the results of this shutdown.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Was once there was a time you could walk right up.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
To the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You could just peek your head right in the windows.
There was a time I'll never forget after the original
we were just talking about the golf War with John Decker.
I happened to be staying across the street at the
Willard Hotel the night the war ended, and I took
a I said, I'm gonna take a victory lap around
the White House. And at that point you can walk
all around the White House too, And I walked right
(27:39):
up around the side and that's when I bumped into
brit Hume and was talking to him. He didn't know
me from Adam and I only knew him from television.
But we was just talking to personation before Britt wasn't
Bruugh then, but you know, we were just lamenting on
the end of the war. But I remember one time
I was walking around the Capitol with my boss at
the time, Tom Crimse here, and we were staring in
(28:00):
the windows and he said, you know what's interesting, There
really are three capitals in America. New York City's a
financial capital. Los Angeles this is the centual capital, and
New York is in Washington, d C. Is the power capital.
And I was thinking of his quote because it's so true.
(28:21):
And when you have power, of course you have instant
sensuality and you have control of all the money. But
New York City is the money capital of the world.
And as the speaker said, and a socialist may end
up being the mayor by the end of tonight. Unthinkable.
Nancy Pelosi, what's her future, Well, she says, she'll tell
(28:44):
you after election day today, she might be retiring. And
based on her performance. And answering that question, it might.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Be times the worst thing one face of the earth.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But you think he's the worst thing on the face
of the earth.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I do, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Why is that?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Because he's the President of the United States and he
does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact,
he's turned the Supreme Court into a row court. He's
abolished the House of Representatives.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
He's chilled the press. He's chilled the press.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
He's scared people who are in our country legally.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I know. I mean, it's hard to take anyone serious
the thanks Donald Trump is the worst thing in the
face of the earth today. It's just not very reasonable.
Jesse Water scored the big interview with Erica Kirk in
the Big question should courts allow cameras in the courtroom
(29:50):
for this trial?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
The defense wants to ban cameras in the courtroom.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 8 (29:57):
There were cameras all over my husband when he was murdered.
There have been cameras all over my friends and family morning.
There have been cameras all over me, analyzing my every move,
analyzing my every smile, my every tier. We deserve to
have cameras in there.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Anybody following the assassination of Charlie Kirk online know what
a circus it's become. Do we really want to really
love Ojay and have this become a televised circus and
all that ultimately to the justice that I think Charlie
deserves and she's searching. I will tell she has a
right to want him. The time will tell Bill Maher
(30:41):
Bill Maher kind of assessing not just Jimmy Kimmel, but
all late night talk show hosts or even the celebrities
who like to get political. You know, we've been down
that road with Robert de Niro, right, he's got to
be stopped. I love the way summarize this.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
My problem with host him and hosts like that. Quite frankly,
they're all quite similar in this regard is that they're
ideally captured, ideologically captured by one side. It's just not
what I do, what I'm doing, and so, and there's
a reason why half the country feels insulted by them
and has turned off to them, because it's just one
(31:25):
very predictable point of view.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That is a great assessment. Do we have time to
get in Jennifer Lawrence, she was on a podcast and
she also addressed this issue. You have been politically outspoken
in the past.
Speaker 10 (31:41):
In the first Trump administration, you know, you had a
lot to say.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I'm curious how you feel about talking out now. I
don't really know if I should.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I think like the first administration was so wild and
just how can we let this stand? Like I felt
like I was running around like a chicken with my
head cut off. But as we've learned, election after elections,
(32:17):
celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people
vote for.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And so then what am I doing.
Speaker 10 (32:26):
I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's going to
just add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart.
I mean, we are so divided. I think I'm in
a complicated recalibration because I'm also an artist, and I
(32:48):
with this temperature and the way that things can turn out,
I don't want to start turning people off to films
into art that could change content, business or changed the world.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
They might be wising up. Question is is it too late?
That's your Sounds of the Day.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty bok, they're getting a little bit.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deals before it's going to work out be
a jam packed Shawl had to rush Sounds the day,
but we got it in.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael Del Journo.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
If you're just joining us. Former Vice President Dick Cheney
has died at the age of eighty four. Started as
an aid in the Nixon administration, became chief of staff
and the Ford administration. Went on to be a representative
from Wyoming, eventually getting tapped as Secretary of Defense by H. W.
Bush and then his son, President George W. Bush tapped
him as a running mate, and he served as vice
(33:52):
president for eight years. He was our forty sixth the
vice president of the United States. Dick Cheney dead at
the age of eighty four. Today is a big election day.
We've talked a lot about this mayor's race in New
York City. Breaking news this morning was the President coming out,
Elon Musk coming out encouraging all New Yorkers to vote
(34:12):
for Andrew Cuomo. Could be too little, too late, we'll see.
There's a big governor's race in New Jersey as well
as Virginia at all, a big proposition vote in California.
Rory O'Neal is here with just one of our many
election stories today. Good morning, Rory, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
I'm fascinated by this California story because it's bringing voters
out for one question. This Prop fifty issue, And it
really does make me wonder if this will reflect back
on Governor Newsome if he can't get it done, what
does that say that about him being a national political figure.
If he can't rally Democrats in his own state support
(34:54):
this change, could he possibly then rally Democrats across the
country for his own presidential campaign. I think he's got
a lot more on the line than perhaps just this
Prop fifty question.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, And I mean, anytime you have an off year election, again,
turnout is everything. But this is a simple question. It's
the only thing. I wonder what turnout will be and
its impact on the outcome well exactly, and what's going
to motivate people to turn out?
Speaker 11 (35:22):
And look, even people who are Democrats don't love this
idea of essentially jerrymandering just to offset other jerrymandering in
a different part of the country. So this is already
an issue that's turning off a lot of voters. Can
motivate people with convictions on both sides here to draw
(35:43):
out both sides to get out and vote. So it'll
be interesting to see what that percentage of turning out.
Districting this does to reflect. Redistricting is a constitutional necessity.
Jerry Mandering is the abuse of that. This is a
vote to literally abuse.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That in respects to your perception others are using it
when you have for decades. I think we agree in
ten seconds. The best bet for the Republicans today is
New Jersey governor.
Speaker 11 (36:08):
Right, yeah, probably still pretty slim. But Cheryl they think
has enough of a lead with a single digit victory.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
But it should have been more of a cakewalk in
this contest. All right, Roy, great reporting as always, we'll
actually go over the results and analyze them tomorrow. One
chance to live this Tuesday, November fourth. Go make a
difference in someone's life. Make sure you cherish your own.
We'll see you right back here tomorrow morning for the
next your morning show. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael nil Joano.
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven in Washington, DC and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work. But
as we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the
podcast on two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Gilchrum.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age
of eighty four. It's election day. Well gener rally come
through in New Jersey. Ooh, when the governor's raised in Virginia,
Well they get new maps in California as a socialist
about to become the mayor of our largest city. Ah,
just some of the questions, although probably the most important
question of the day yet to be answered is James
(00:57):
Carafana fifty four where you were report to Lieutenant Colonel A.
Wall But he is back from a long stint abroad.
It's time for us before we have our big conversation
to make our guesses. I'm going to say you were
last in Warsaw, Poland Jeffrey, I thought he was in
(01:20):
is Bekistan? Is Bekistan, no specific area, just as Bekistan,
just INDI general.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And read.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Budapest hungry. And the answer is what is what is
his word? I got in three today, by the way,
but I won't give away the word.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Where was I? I don't even remember.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I want to die and come back as your frequent flyer,
mierd Miles.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I was, I guess I was? I was in Rome.
I guess.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I wouldn't have thought that. You're usually somewhere you know,
more dramatic than that. All right, here's the premise. All
my life and all your life, from West Point to Service,
we've been fighting in wars with socialists and communist nations,
hot wars and cold wars. Now one of our two
major parties is majority socialist. The question for you, Lieutenant
(02:14):
Colonel James Carafano, is this a Democrat party problem or
are we at war with ourselves?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I do think it's a political problem. I mean, we're
a fifty to fifty country. We have two political parties
that are less ideologically and geographically diverse, and they're headed
in opposite directions. And so, you know, I've always argued
(02:43):
that the difference between the left and the right is
the left is driving towards a political orthodoxy, whereas the
right is essentially trying to gather a coalition of people
who just really interested in, you know, a better life.
And you know what we've consisted least seen is the
(03:04):
extremest views on the left have become kind of the
polestar magnet. And so do I don't think that the
drift to the left is surprising. The other reason is
what is driving the differences in the two parties. On
the on the right, it's it's clearly diversity. I mean,
(03:25):
you see Trump may in roads in every demographic except
kind of rich white women.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And on the left it's money.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And and that's why when you look at these major
protests that only do you see a lot of paid
protesters and funded things, you see a very increasingly narrow
demographic of people that are going to the streets. So
I think in New York City is a perfect example. Okay,
money engineered the nomination of a socialist that look, we
(04:00):
all know that New York is wildly democratic and a
Republican's never going to win in New York City. And
much like you saw these Soros das where we just
went in with a bunch of money and he put
a radical in and he's heavily read, and these heavily
blue places and they just get elected.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
That that's what's going on here.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And another way to ask the same question would be,
if socialism is so great, why were we warring against
socialism and communism all these years.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, you know, the short answer is it's not so.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Great, you know, And it's not like we have never
had socialist and communists in the United States. You remember,
there was a huge shift to the left, you know,
particularly in the nineteen thirties after the Great Depression. So
you know we've seen this played out before. But again,
I think largely you can contribute this to money and
(05:02):
to the fact that we allowed the left to kind
of capture all the cultural institutions, you know, from education
to Hollywood, and and then this was a virus that
I mean, I don't know how to describe it, that
was just injected.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So and immigration is in this too, right, as there
was a time where people came from all over the world,
but they assimilated, they left where they came from, they
denounced where they came from, they came and assimilated in America,
that became politically incorrect, and at that point we were
no longer a melting pot, but a melting culture. I mean,
it's sometimes in life is just all the above, right, Yeah,
(05:43):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Know, if you know, I think immigration has had a
narrow influence in that. I mean, a lot of our
immigrants have come from places where, you know, their politics
actually were not, you know, radically socialist, and but you know,
I would say that a lot of people just came
here because I mean, and this is the reason why
(06:06):
do we see massive illegal populations headed to the United
States and Canada and Germany and places like that, because
they have massive social safety nets and they're just letting
people in.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So a lot of people are just coming for the benjamins.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
But we do have in the US very radicalized immigrant
population that is not interested in most assimilation at all,
and it's interested in radical politics. Because we do have
this overlap of foreign interests and big leftist money in
(06:38):
the United States who are kind of heading the country
in the same place. I don't necessarily think for the
same reasons, but they kind of want the same thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us from the Heritage Foundation,
one of the largest think tanks in the world. You
can read his work and his colleagues great work at
Heritage dot org. While you were gone and literally I'll
never forget Jean Due freshman year, I noticed she didn't
call for like a week, and I was wondering, did
she break up with me? She did. I was shocked
that you came back to me. But while you were gone,
(07:09):
we've seen these targeted air strikes on drug boats, the
President saying he doesn't necessarily see us going into Venezuela
into war, but perhaps air strikes and troops on the
ground in Nigeria where Christians are being slaughtered. For a
president that's only halfway there in the Middle East, hasn't
been able to find peace with Russia and Ukraine. Does
(07:30):
he really want to expand to a new area.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Well, you know, I think the Western hemisphere is kind
of non negotiable. I mean, you cannot be secure unless
you're secure in your own backyard. And what I think
Trump really wants to do is we don't want to
get to where we have the next Cuban missile crisis,
and foreign influencers are so deeply embedded in the theater
that they're de stabilized in the country. And I do
(07:55):
think it's fair to say that the drug cartels have
gotten to that crossover point.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
You will forget and the four years under Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
And it's not political because you know, not political, but
the amount of money that the cartels were ACKed up
doing human trafficking, and you know, they don't care drugs, money, guns,
they don't care. The amount of money that they that
they deposited from human trafficking was mind boggling, and it
shows through their puffets over the top that they are
(08:25):
invested in in destabilized criminal networks in the United States.
And don't forget the Chinese who provide the precursors for
the fentanol.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
They don't make money off of this. They're losing money
on fentanyl, making a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
They're doing this specifically to destabilize the United States. So
between them, they're intentionally killing tens of thousands of Americans
every day. Now, this is a judgment call, and I
actually have a hard time to argue that this isn't
you know, clearly approaching the equivalent of narco terrorism against
(09:05):
the United States.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That's a legitimate target for the US.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And how long can you get away with just taking
out boats without confronting Venezuela directly, I.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Think a reasonable And I have no inside knowledge them
talking to aim about in government. I don't think you
build up this much military power just to intimidate people,
so I can see. I don't think they're going to
go for intentional regime change, but I could see the
US intentionally targeting narco terrorist groups inside of Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Closing moments with the Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano when our
briefing a lot of attention and I think I think
a lot of it originated with Ted Cruz, believe it
or not, who got the presidents here to start noticing this.
But the persecution of Christians in Africa and Nigeria to
be exact this this is definitely on the radar. How
is what's the best course about action to address this?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You know you'll have to see, you know, I don't think, well,
obviously not.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
This is not the policy of the Nigeria government.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
They're not out to see Christian slaughter. They have proven
sober incapable of dealing with this issue. It'll be interesting
to see how they respond to this. I think it
will be difficult militarily two two to do actions that
(10:35):
would significantly reduce the threat in a protracted way over
time without a more long term solution. So I I
kudos to the President for recognizing a very serious problem.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Absolutely, it is a serious problem. But like many things, you.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Know, Trump jumps in and he tries to get people's
attention to come up with a practical That's what we
saw in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
We didn't wind up in word or three in Gaza.
I think we're actually on a path to helping the
Gaza people.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We didn't mind up with war Worth three in Ukraine
run a path to helping the Ukrainian people. I'm hoping
we have a similar pathway in Nigeria, because I don't just.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
As a quick follow up though, I mean, there is
a flaw in all of these plans, and that is
what if we find out the Palestinian people inside the
Gaza really hate Israel, really hate America, really hate Jews,
really hate Christians, that they just weren't, you know, vulnerable
to thugs like the PLO or Hamas or in the
(11:35):
case of Nigeria Bokoharam, which is they're as violent as
they get. But what if we find out we have
a Islamist problem in these places, in which case in
Palestine in the Gaza, they're not going to want, you know,
to have peace and prosperity and anything less than radical Islam.
(11:58):
The same could be true in Nigeria. Are despite the government,
I mean, that's the tricky part for me. And seeing
how this moves forward.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Well I don't disagree, but the key goal here is
the security of Israel and uh and and then moving
beyond that to regional cooperation with the Arab nations. It's
getting Palestine off the plate as the hot button issue.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And you know, we all know that the people of Palestine.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Can have a fantastic future if they choose to choose
peace or war if they don't, you know, you know,
geopolitics is living with.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
The reality that you have, not the reality that you want.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
But the key goal here of one the security of Israel,
who basically who number one deserves that the people don't
deserve to be slaughtered for no reason. But also they're
a key US ally and demonstrating to the air of
nation that we are not indifferent to the Palestinian people
(13:02):
if they want to choose a positive future to help
create that. I think we're going to achieve those goals.
I mean, you know, the wrong thing is to think
that you can always come up with a foreign policy
solution that creates solves everybody's problem. It just makes everything
in the land of milk and honey that's usually doesn't
really happen. But can we do the essential things that
(13:25):
we need to do in the Middle East to protect
our interests at a reasonable cost and an emoticum of
risk that doesn't, you know, stuck us into the next Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I definitely think that's true in Venezuela. I don't think
we can jump in with boat feet in Nigeria and
solve Nigeria's problems, or that we even need to do that,
but I am of course we should, you know, if
we can do something positive there and constructive, we should.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And I think I'm.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I'm willing to give the president a little running ron
hair because it's honest track record so far it's pretty
damn good. Don't be about thousand percent. You know, and
you got to be careful in these things. But so
far he's demonstrated a remarkable ability to get good outcomes
and not tie the United States and intractable problems, which
(14:21):
is I think the perfect role for a guy that's
supposed to be the leader of the free world.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And Rome, Rome, that sounds more like a vacation. Wasn't
the same without you. So wonderful to have you back,
James Carafinald, Lieutenant colonel, read his great work and colleges
great work at Heritage dot org. Missed you terrible wonderful
to have you back. Have a great week, all right.
A recent Danish study revealed something heartbreaking. Just one year
after an abortion, women were fifty percent more likely to
(14:49):
need psychiatric treatment and eighty seven percent more likely to
experience personality or behavior disorders. Oh, it can all be
branded choice, But choices have consequences. That's not women's healthcare.
That's trauma. But at preborn women find real kind care,
(15:09):
the kind that heals. When a woman walks into a
Preborn Network clinic, she's welcomed with open arms. She's introduced
to her baby through an ultrasound. The ultrasound is the
ultimate game changer, and for the first time she sees life,
and she's offered hope and choices filled with hope. When
she chooses life, Preborn continues walking side by side with
(15:31):
her for up to two years, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling,
and so much more. Preborn cares for the entire woman body, mind,
and soul and the precious baby inside her. As you
think about the year end giving, I pray you will
consider the greatest investment you could ever make, the gift
(15:52):
of life. Just dial pound two fifty and say the
keyword baby. That's pound two fifty baby. Or you can
give by visiting Preborn dot com forward slash yms stands
for your morning show. That's Preborn dot com forward slash
yms or pound two point fifty keyword baby. All gifts
are tax deductible, and Preborn is a five star rated
(16:15):
charity when I've been proud to speak on behalf of
for almost a decade. Now let's put our money where
the life is Preborn. This is your morning show with
Michael del Chrono. I got a lot of issues over
here right now.
Speaker 3 (16:31):

Oh well, so about the skunk. This skunk is approaching
(18:53):
the foul line on my basketball court and it is
really sad. I mean it's like slowly dying and shaking.

for Clay Travis in our two all right elections of plenty.
We got Prop fifty out in California. We got governor's
races in New Jersey as well as Virginia. We got
the big mayor's race in New York. A lot on
the line today, and we saw Elon Musk and the
(20:19):
President come out and endorse Andrew Cuomo, encourage everyone in
New York to vote for Andrew Cuomo. Our White House
correspondent John Decker's hare with that and all of our
top stories.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you, Michael. I.
Hope you're doing well today. Yes, it's a big day.
Three races in particular that have national implications. The mayor's
race in New York City, the governor's race in Virginia,
and the governor's race in New Jersey. All of them
have the attention to President Trump, and as you point out,
the President last night endorsing for Mayor Andrew Cuomo, the
(20:53):
longtime Democratic governor of the state of New York, to
be New York city's next mayor.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Elon Musk
also coming out in support of Andrew Cuomo, as well
as support for the governor's race in New Jersey, which
I don't know if the President feels this way, but
I think it's the Republican's best chance for a win today.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Oh, I agree with you. It is their best chance
for Winnesday. I don't think they're going to win in Virginia.
I think the problem there is the candidate. The candidate
has never led in any public opinion poll. So the
focus for Republicans really is New Jersey. And wouldn't that
be remarkable for a Republican to win the governor's mansion
(21:37):
in New Jersey. It's always considered a blue state. Although
President Trump did much better than people expected in the
twenty twenty four presidential elections, so that may give an
indication that the Republican nominee has a shot, and polls
indicate it's essentially a toss up right now.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, I would think that Governor Hochal in New York
is watching this race closely, be because if New Jersey
can go red, Soka New York potentially there was support
for I believe Joe Biden plus sixteen percent in New Jersey,
and then, as you mentioned in twenty twenty four with
Kamala Harris, they just won by six percentage points. This one,
(22:17):
the latest poll shows virtually a dead heat heading into
election day today with Jack Chitdarelli. All right, and then
you know the mayor's race, everybody's focused on. You know,
it's really it's really a race of socialism versus capitalism.
I think at this point and win, loser, draw, Mom
Donnie is gonna certainly have a branding effect on the Democrats.
(22:39):
Why did the president I think, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I was gonna say, Michael, particularly if he wins, I mean,
he's going to be portrayed as the poster child for
the Democratic Party. This is the new Democratic Party if
Mandamie wins that race, and you know, the President actually
acts to way whether that's a better thing for Republicans
or what's a better thing for our country, and the
President weighing those two things, that has determined it's just
(23:05):
better that Andrew Cromo lead that city rather than a
person who the President described as a communist.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I would like to shamelessly brag on my friend, he's
not doing it. I'm doing it. But our President Donald
Trump paid tribute to you in a beautiful letter acknowledging
your many years of covering the White House. I think
this is your eighth presidency. So the passing of Dick Cheney,
the vice president forty sixth the vice president of the
United States, that would be an administration. I know you
(23:33):
covered your thoughts on the passing of Dick Cheney.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Well, look, it is not saying too much when you
talk about Dick Cheney being the most influential vice president
in American history. He was, and he preferred to be
in the background, providing advice and council to President George W.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Bush.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Interestingly enough, he never had presidential ambitions, never thought about
running for president, never ran for president, and of course
he had such a long time in public service. He
was named the White House Chief of Staff Michael at
the age of thirty four years old by Gray Cord
back in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That is crazy. And then he started as an aid
in sixty nine for Nixon, and the notion that he
would be chief of staff six years later from an
aid running around the White House, you know, right on
a coweg Yeah, and then of course eventually became Secretary
of Defense during a critical time of war War Persian
Golf War. And then and finally the son, George W.
(24:35):
Bush chooses him as a running mate. Always better behind
the scenes than really being likable in front of the scenes.
But that's a very strong character.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
He wasn't focused on that, never was. He didn't care
what his public approval rating was. He just focused on
policy and providing what he determined to be good policy
advice to President George W. Bush during the eight years
that they served together in the White House.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, make a long story short. The President's going to
be watching these elections from California to Virginia to New
Jersey to New York City today very closely. And John
Decker will be watching the president. You can learn more
during John Decker's podcast later this morning, nine Eastern, eighth Central,
the White House Briefing Room with John Decker. You'll find
it on your iHeartRadio app. Thank you, John. All Right,
forty two minutes after the hour, we are rocking and rolling,
(25:23):
and it's time for Sounds of the day.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
We will wait, we will win.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
This peak doesn't make him change. I am entertained. All right,
busy hour, all right, let's get sounds of the day again.
Shutdown entering its second month, now officially tied for the
longest shutdown in history. It's cause it's anyone's guess. Either
this is a party so obsessed with hatred for the
(25:59):
president that it's in obstruction mode and has become so
dysfunctional they'll even hurt their own constituents that they have to,
or they're afraid of the mob within their own party
that might come after them. Either way, the shutdown continues.
In House Speaker Johnson had this to say yesterday.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
But all the attention is focused primarily on New York City.
Why because the fear, the fear that Mamdani and all
that he represents will be risen to power, that he
will be elected the mayor of America's largest city, the
once cradle of capitalism, that we're going to have a Marxist,
(26:40):
a communist running the largest city.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Now. This terrifies the.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Establishment old guard Democrats in Washington, and the leaders of
both chambers are among those most terrified.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
They're both from New York.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Leader Hakim Jeffers is the Democrat in the House and
Leader Schumer in the Senate. They're both from New York
and they're terrified. Watched their actions carefully. Many of you
have not reported on it enough. Poor Jakim Jeffreys had
to ultimately, finally he was forced to endorse Bondani, and
he's terrified that he now owns the results of that.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
He does they owned the results of this shutdown.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Was once there was a time you could walk right up.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
To the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You could just peek your head right in the windows.
There was a time I'll never forget after the original
we were just talking about the golf War with John Decker.
I happened to be staying across the street at the
Willard Hotel the night the war ended, and I took
a I said, I'm gonna take a victory lap around
the White House. And at that point you can walk
all around the White House too, And I walked right
(27:39):
up around the side and that's when I bumped into
brit Hume and was talking to him. He didn't know
me from Adam and I only knew him from television.
But we was just talking to personation before Britt wasn't
Bruugh then, but you know, we were just lamenting on
the end of the war. But I remember one time
I was walking around the Capitol with my boss at
the time, Tom Crimse here, and we were staring in
(28:00):
the windows and he said, you know what's interesting, There
really are three capitals in America. New York City's a
financial capital. Los Angeles this is the centual capital, and
New York is in Washington, d C. Is the power capital.
And I was thinking of his quote because it's so true.
(28:21):
And when you have power, of course you have instant
sensuality and you have control of all the money. But
New York City is the money capital of the world.
And as the speaker said, and a socialist may end
up being the mayor by the end of tonight. Unthinkable.
Nancy Pelosi, what's her future, Well, she says, she'll tell
(28:44):
you after election day today, she might be retiring. And
based on her performance. And answering that question, it might.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Be times the worst thing one face of the earth.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But you think he's the worst thing on the face
of the earth.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I do, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Why is that?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Because he's the President of the United States and he
does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact,
he's turned the Supreme Court into a row court. He's
abolished the House of Representatives.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
He's chilled the press. He's chilled the press.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
He's scared people who are in our country legally.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I know. I mean, it's hard to take anyone serious
the thanks Donald Trump is the worst thing in the
face of the earth today. It's just not very reasonable.
Jesse Water scored the big interview with Erica Kirk in
the Big question should courts allow cameras in the courtroom
(29:50):
for this trial?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
The defense wants to ban cameras in the courtroom.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 8 (29:57):
There were cameras all over my husband when he was murdered.
There have been cameras all over my friends and family morning.
There have been cameras all over me, analyzing my every move,
analyzing my every smile, my every tier. We deserve to
have cameras in there.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Anybody following the assassination of Charlie Kirk online know what
a circus it's become. Do we really want to really
love Ojay and have this become a televised circus and
all that ultimately to the justice that I think Charlie
deserves and she's searching. I will tell she has a
right to want him. The time will tell Bill Maher
(30:41):
Bill Maher kind of assessing not just Jimmy Kimmel, but
all late night talk show hosts or even the celebrities
who like to get political. You know, we've been down
that road with Robert de Niro, right, he's got to
be stopped. I love the way summarize this.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
My problem with host him and hosts like that. Quite frankly,
they're all quite similar in this regard is that they're
ideally captured, ideologically captured by one side. It's just not
what I do, what I'm doing, and so, and there's
a reason why half the country feels insulted by them
and has turned off to them, because it's just one
(31:25):
very predictable point of view.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That is a great assessment. Do we have time to
get in Jennifer Lawrence, she was on a podcast and
she also addressed this issue. You have been politically outspoken
in the past.
Speaker 10 (31:41):
In the first Trump administration, you know, you had a
lot to say.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I'm curious how you feel about talking out now. I
don't really know if I should.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I think like the first administration was so wild and
just how can we let this stand? Like I felt
like I was running around like a chicken with my
head cut off. But as we've learned, election after elections,
(32:17):
celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people
vote for.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And so then what am I doing.
Speaker 10 (32:26):
I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's going to
just add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart.
I mean, we are so divided. I think I'm in
a complicated recalibration because I'm also an artist, and I
(32:48):
with this temperature and the way that things can turn out,
I don't want to start turning people off to films
into art that could change content, business or changed the world.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
They might be wising up. Question is is it too late?
That's your Sounds of the Day.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty bok, they're getting a little bit.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deals before it's going to work out be
a jam packed Shawl had to rush Sounds the day,
but we got it in.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael Del Journo.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
If you're just joining us. Former Vice President Dick Cheney
has died at the age of eighty four. Started as
an aid in the Nixon administration, became chief of staff
and the Ford administration. Went on to be a representative
from Wyoming, eventually getting tapped as Secretary of Defense by H. W.
Bush and then his son, President George W. Bush tapped
him as a running mate, and he served as vice
(33:52):
president for eight years. He was our forty sixth the
vice president of the United States. Dick Cheney dead at
the age of eighty four. Today is a big election day.
We've talked a lot about this mayor's race in New
York City. Breaking news this morning was the President coming out,
Elon Musk coming out encouraging all New Yorkers to vote
(34:12):
for Andrew Cuomo. Could be too little, too late, we'll see.
There's a big governor's race in New Jersey as well
as Virginia at all, a big proposition vote in California.
Rory O'Neal is here with just one of our many
election stories today. Good morning, Rory, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
I'm fascinated by this California story because it's bringing voters
out for one question. This Prop fifty issue, And it
really does make me wonder if this will reflect back
on Governor Newsome if he can't get it done, what
does that say that about him being a national political figure.
If he can't rally Democrats in his own state support
(34:54):
this change, could he possibly then rally Democrats across the
country for his own presidential campaign. I think he's got
a lot more on the line than perhaps just this
Prop fifty question.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, And I mean, anytime you have an off year election, again,
turnout is everything. But this is a simple question. It's
the only thing. I wonder what turnout will be and
its impact on the outcome well exactly, and what's going
to motivate people to turn out?
Speaker 11 (35:22):
And look, even people who are Democrats don't love this
idea of essentially jerrymandering just to offset other jerrymandering in
a different part of the country. So this is already
an issue that's turning off a lot of voters. Can
motivate people with convictions on both sides here to draw
(35:43):
out both sides to get out and vote. So it'll
be interesting to see what that percentage of turning out.
Districting this does to reflect. Redistricting is a constitutional necessity.
Jerry Mandering is the abuse of that. This is a
vote to literally abuse.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That in respects to your perception others are using it
when you have for decades. I think we agree in
ten seconds. The best bet for the Republicans today is
New Jersey governor.
Speaker 11 (36:08):
Right, yeah, probably still pretty slim. But Cheryl they think
has enough of a lead with a single digit victory.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
But it should have been more of a cakewalk in
this contest. All right, Roy, great reporting as always, we'll
actually go over the results and analyze them tomorrow. One
chance to live this Tuesday, November fourth. Go make a
difference in someone's life. Make sure you cherish your own.
We'll see you right back here tomorrow morning for the
next your morning show. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael nil Joano.
