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

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

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael dell.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Chorna Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it. The
future is in our hands.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Friends.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
We have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo
only the best in private life, but let tonight be

(01:26):
the final time I utter his name.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Obviously a much different tone in victory than in candidacy.
We quoted Thomas Jefferson earlier. The government you elect as
the government you deserve. Well New York as a thirty
four year old was zero experienced socialist Islamist Muslim. What
could possibly go wrong? David Sanadia is our senior contributor.
He's also the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, hosts

(01:52):
of the Public Square. Again, very predictable, David. These are
blue states, blue cities. We use this analogy earlier. If
last night was about the mayor's race in Oklahoma City,
two governors races in Texas and Tennessee, and a proposition
in Alabama, the outcome wouldn't be shocking. But this very
predictable victory Knight could pose some serious problems in the

(02:16):
year ahead for the Democrat Party as AOC And Mam
Donnie make this a national referendum?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Your take, Well, it's a difficult way to figure this out, Michael.
There's a lot of ways to look at this particular election.
There's six million adults in New York City of voting
age eligibility. Only one million voted for Mom Donnie, all right,
so there you go. You've got one million out of

(02:44):
the six million. So what kind of consensus is that
based upon?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
To operate?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's and about a million voted for the other two candidates,
So what does that tell us?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Two million people.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Voted and the the biggest population in New York is
the one that doesn't care that was a two to
one victory.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Well, they may feel differently in a little while. The
biggest problem for mom Donnie moving forward is how does
he succeed. I mean, if he does, if he doesn't
follow through on everything that he pandered towards and yesterday
tried to back away a little bit from the free groceries,

(03:26):
he's got to pay for it. And to pay for it,
he's got to raise, as he's been selling everybody taxes
on the ridge. You can't do that without the governor's approval.
And she faces a reelection. So either she's going to
cost herself her governor's raise or he's not going to
be able to deliver. But does that even matter? Is
everybody just on board? Is this just the new cool

(03:47):
kid kind of a thing. Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
This was a social media election and it fundamentally means
nothing in the sense that it tells us nothing other
than that there's a million people in New York City
that are willing to vote for a communist whose fundamental
group affiliation blew up the Twin Towers. Now, I don't know,

(04:10):
I'm sure people have been talking much harsher than that
in New York. But if you had said to us
on September twelfth, two thousand and one, just wait twenty.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Four years later, you're going to elect or hover many years.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Twenty four years later, you're going to elect a one
of You're going to elect.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Someone that was pleased with what happened today, And he'll
be standing right next to the president at the twenty
fifth anniversary commemorative ceremony. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
So, now, whether today he has the courage to say
out loud, he probably certainly doesn't. But no one can
judge his heart on that particular day. I don't even
know where he was on that day. What was he
He's thirty four years old, so was he eleven years
old on that day? So maybe he should be held harmless.
Maybe he didn't even know what was happening on that day.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, he's made comments, isn't it all that would suggest
where he's at. He certainly was in that speech. What
do you make of the different tone? I mean, this
man was. It was a very Islamist response after victory,
and I think he even at the end when he

(05:20):
concluded being a problem was I mean, he's sending clear messages,
you know, because there's two. There's two. There's the House
of Islam, which is, you know, those that have surrendered
to it, and then there's the House of war. He
almost very Islamist, took this victory as the waging of war.
In other words, I just got elected mayor, and now
I'm waging war with the president, and you're gonna have

(05:42):
to go through all of us.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I have learned a lot listening to you over the
years in radio and the different experts and guests, and
the books that we've discussed, and the things that we've
read together in learning more about Islam. And so what
you have is, again, you've got four million people in
New York of the six million people who could have voted, who.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Said we don't care.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's a greater danger to the city, to the state,
and to the Republic than the person they elected that
they just don't care.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Does this in any way set a major theme for
the midterm election to be socialism versus capitalism?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
That could be well, I think you're also analyzing the
question of momentum. Now we've got these two waves of
communication going on across the media this morning.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
One is it's no big deal, it's all blue voting.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
The other is, wait a second, this is such a
significant sweep at every level, the underperformance of all challenging
on Republican sides or none whatsoever in New York City
is the case. May be, excuse me, this is one
of those things where that's one side of the momentum.
The other side of the momentum is wait a second,

(06:56):
what were the issues? And the issues are issues that
Donald Trump is doing very poorly done right now, and
you've been putting that out all day. It's the economy.
So therein that we have the challenge of they'll ride
the issue, the experts will ride the issue, and Donald
Trump is extremely vulnerable.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
On the economy.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Look, anybody can make up the political commercials that while
he's been pursuing a Nobel Peace Prize, while he's been
worried about international global conflicts, and he's been ascending his
power and authority over terraffs, and now the Supreme Courts
getting in on the question. People are basically unable to
get healthcare, they're unable to pay for gasoline, they're unable

(07:36):
to get food. The government's shut down, the economy hasn't changed.
Gasoline prices are still high. Energy prices they're skyrocketing. There's
a hole in the boat.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Nobody's saying that what the president has been working on
wasn't important. You know, ending wars is a noble thing.
But at some point, and I think that point is now,
the President is probably going to be handed a tremendous
defeat by the Supreme Court on tariffs. I just don't
know how he gets this through. This has nothing to

(08:12):
do with national emergency and everything to do with his
feeling that we're getting a raw deal. But he does
not have the powers within the presidency, so I think
he starts off with a really bad blow, then he
goes into the holidays. I would wrap things up in
the Middle East and with Russia as best you can

(08:33):
and the drug bar as best you can. You have
got to get to energy because a energy is not
in a good place, and it's drive, it's keeping food
costs high. He has not refilled the reserve that was
drained and AI is well, there's two ways to look
at it. It's a clear and present danger, much bigger

(08:55):
than TikTok that you swept swept under the rug. You've
got to master the me and then you have got
to hit the road and campaign like it's your name
on the ballot next year, or people are going to
be surprised. Either this radical socialist wave will continue within
that party or the new sensible Democrat will emerge and
can create a wave that could give them. I mean,

(09:20):
he could wake up a year from now facing monthly impeachments.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, and of course that and while that's true, there's
also a dynamic amount of humor in that. So, I mean,
at least he would get the award for the most
impeachments of any president in history. I think that there's
a certain humor if they go that direction. But last
night picked up and you've already mentioned it significantly, there
are big issues in regards to what the Democrat Party

(09:47):
plans for America in in the telling of last night's election.
After all, it was a home game for them. It
was their coloring book, and they colored it just the
way it should have been anticipated, particularly in Florida where
the voters excuse me, in California, where the voters of
that state decided that they would and now in fact
become the one party state that Roy Tierra and his

(10:11):
consultants planned thirty years ago and mobilized their lifetime to
develop to drive Republicanism and the Republican Party out of existence,
to end representation in California for Republicans, to make it
a singular one party state. They sealed the deal and
Barack Obama and Eric Holder were there. That's a long

(10:33):
term play where California becomes, in essence, the harbinger of
the new Civil War.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
All in the name of checks and balances, all in
the name of saving democracy. I don't have to tell
you that was the same motive for Shadow campaign. There's
nothing democratic about it now, as we've talked about, it's
very constitutional. With new census to redistrict that is population shipped.
This was for the of jerry mandering. They're going to

(11:03):
go from never mind forty percent of California is Republican
and votes Republican. They only have seventeen percent representation. That's
about to shrink to seven percent representation. At what point
and we have zero I believe in Massachusetts, at what
point do we go to the Supreme Court and say
I'm not paying tax Is this taxation without representation? Well,

(11:25):
the court will tell you move that's and they should
and they are. Yeah, yeah, they'll say move. That's a
political question of course.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Now that brings up the interesting question on what you've
been talking about with John Decker today, because they'll be
interesting to watch what John Roberts says. John Roberts, who
gave Obamacare legitimacy when it came time to gee, is
that a fee or a tax that's being charged?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
And he went the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
So it'll be interesting to see this time whether John
Roberts stays consistent with what he is basically talking about.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Is that a tariff or is that attacks?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now, the country wins if the Supreme Court defines the
constitutional powers of Congress and the Presidency accurately, even if
it costs Donald Trump a trip to Congress to get
his tariff's passed. The country wins if the Court discerns
it correctly. That's going to be based on arguments, and
it's too early to call. I know, this sounds like

(12:23):
an old church sounds like an old church game. But seriously,
in case somebody wasn't, would you say that again, because
you really the President can easily continue down the tariff
road with this Congress.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
It'll be a simple act. But the Supreme court, getting
this right and then doing that, that could be a
perfect path for the president. Well it's I don't think
it'll get him what he wants.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I think that the idea that he'll get of teriffs
through Congress is wildly optimistic because there's plenty of opposition
in the House.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
So I don't think he'd even get it through the House.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
But the fact that he try and was denied by
the court and his own Republican party wouldn't pick it up. See,
he doesn't have a Republican Party. Donald Trump is a
free agent. He is an outside agent of change, and
he's going to have wins and he's going to have
losses based upon the establishment of the United States Congress,
which is playing its own game. Now we're covering a

(13:20):
lot of territory today, and I ask yourself, well, how
does it connect between New York and California and now
we're back to Congress. It is all connected because it's
about what kind of government are we going to have?
Are we going to have a government based upon tribalism,
based on whoever the most organized tribe wins.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Are we going to have a government based upon constitutional law? Now?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Donald Trump is trying to do the right thing. But
if he's doing it in a way that the Constitution
prohibits of the court rightly discerns that based on and
I don't have all the facttions, so we have to
wait and see.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Then that's not bad for the Republic.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And if we can't get those terrorists passed through Congress,
all that tells us is that there are not a
enough people in the country participating in the process to
win those seats. But we have to remember and see
the bigger picture. Where is Barack Obama? Where is Eric Holder?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Whereas ja is? Where's John Podesta?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
The players that play the game for the long play
of the Democrat Party, they had a really good night
last year.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
They did because they're playing the long game. I have
to take the break. But when we come back, sure
this will stink to high heaven. If suddenly the Democrats
capitulate or cave in and we get the government reopened instantly,
that would suggest to me anyway the shutdown was designed
to get those victories, especially with that Attorney general's race

(14:44):
and the governor's race in Virginia, because they needed that
shutdown to continue and overshadow the controversy of these candidates.
But yeah, I think what you're seeing is especially like
in New Jersey where we thought that race which Chittarelli,
was so much closer. This is a very tribal partisan country.

(15:04):
Interesting is as interesting as both parties are in shambles.
More on that when we come back with David Sonati.
History shows that every market falls, every currency can collapse.
Today the dollar is shrinking, trillions in national debt, record
high markets to find gravity, but stocks can't go up forever. Meanwhile, groceries, housing,

(15:25):
transportation costs, they're all rising, and your dollar it's buying
less every day. So if and when the crash hits,
your stocks won't save you. Dollars won't either, But one
thing will. Gold. Gold has always survived. That's why central
banks are buying gold by the time billionaires are stocking up,
and everyday Americans are beginning to protect their savings in

(15:46):
retirement with physical gold. Don't wait for the headlines when
the panic starts, that's too late. Call your capital today
eight hundred. Get your free Gold investment kit. Protect your
wealth real physical gold. With over three billion dollars in

(16:07):
your trusted source. Call dear Capital today you could get

That's Leir Capital one eight hundred five one one thirty

(16:28):
morning show is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Journal Hi,
It's Michael.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
We invite you to listen live while you're getting ready
in the morning. That take us along for the drive
to work. But as we always say, better late than never.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Thanks for joining us for the podcast on the air,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jono and this is your day. Wednesday,
November the fifth year of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Well, Mom,
Donnie is the new The New York Post its front
page says, on your remarks as in Carl get set
the big red Apple. New York has elected a socialist

(17:25):
Islamist mayor. Mom Donnie gets fifty point four percent of
the vote. Cuomo forty one point six percent. Slee was
seven percent. Even if you gave all of sleeve was
votes to Cuomo, he still would have come up short.
The rank share ploy and tactic to get Mom Donnie
through the primary to the general it pays off. In
the end He's the next mayor. Spanberger fifty seven to

(17:47):
forty two percent. We expected an easy victory in Virginia
Mikey Cheryl fifty six percent to Chittarelli's forty three percent.
That was wider than many expected. And Prop fifty passed
was sixty three percent of the vote. In the name
of checks and balances a democracy, they did the most
undemocratic thing, a vote for jerry mandering. We also had
a UPS cargo jet crash during takeoff. It was on

(18:11):
fire as it was taking off. Seven dead, eleven in
the hospital fighting for their life. It's day thirty six.
If the government shut down and the Supreme Court begins
to hear a huge case. Everything on tariffs are at
stake for the president today. I got this email from
Mary You and David forgot to mention. Only a few

(18:33):
days ago, Republican Senators McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, and Ran Paul
all voted against Trump's global tariffs. So if the Supreme
Court should uphold this and the tariffs are deemed unconstitutional,
the President's only route is to go through Congress, where
the power would belong. And the question is does he

(18:53):
have the votes? And it doesn't look like it anything
I'm missing in our recap. Think you got it. I
it's an AUDISR Senior contributor. Let's turn to AI. I
know that you and the team at the Public Square
are going to be featuring this on your show this weekend.
I love the way you worded it, Welcome to the
Gilded Age of AI. It's here and everybody will tell

(19:14):
you and treat it like it's some kind of a tool.
But what is it? And do we have the power
grid to power it or more importantly, the understanding and
the ability to economically survive it. We talked last half hour.
The president really needs to not so much respond to
last night's election these were blue states and blue cities.

(19:36):
But he's got to turn his focus to energy, and
he's got to turn his focus to AI and not TikTok,
because these are ticking time bombs. Things can go south
very fast for this president, starting with a Supreme Court ruling.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, we've got to remember that the socialist now announced
out loud and celebrating. The socialist left also owns much
of the media, and so their campaign machine doesn't have
to be gin dep turned on or funded.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
It already exists.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
And that's why alter of media such as programs like
this are so important because whales can people hear more
sides to the story. All right, So this is this
is a very real problem that Donald Trump is facing.
He tends to come to terms pretty quickly these days
with problems once he gets a hold of them. It
just depends on whether the yes men around him will

(20:26):
be honest with him.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
The bottom line is, your two of Donald Trump cannot
be your one.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Can't be well, and it better stop tomorrow or yesterday,
because it's already late in the game.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Anyhow, I gotta go to AI with you. But the
big circle is energy. But AI is a big part
of that energy story.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well and the economy, and AI is a big part
of that as well. Let me introduce everybody to a
new name, Will Douglas Heaven. Will Douglas Heaven, What a
what an interesting name. Here's his bio, he says, I
am I'm the senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review,
where I cover new research, emerging trends, and the people

(21:06):
behind them. Previously, I was the founding editor at the
BBC text meets geopolitics website Future Now, and chief technology
editor a new Scientist magazine. I have a PhD in
computer science from Imperial College, London and know what it's
like to work with robots number one.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
That's a resume unlike Mandani.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
But go ahead, okay, now, this gentleman, mister Heaven, Will
Douglas Heaven writes a tremendous article in MIT Review howgi
AGI is the more proper technical name for artificial general
intelligence became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Here's the bottom line.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
This guy, who with these credentials says, asks someone when
they're talking to you about AI, to define it and
listen carefully. What is AI? Because the truth of the
matter is nobody really knows.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yet, what question done? That question just just set the
right focus. What is so?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, so this is what we're talking about, wild speculation,
governing the stock market, impacting huge government agencies, a competition,
all of the speculation, all of this money.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
We're talking about open Ai, the.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Corporation that has chat gpt being valued as a private
company at five hundred billion dollars in talking about going public,
do people know that this company has gone through a
handful three or four different permutations of reincorporating themselves from
an original open source nonprofit to now just a few

(22:47):
days ago, fully proclaiming themselves and filing as a former.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Provid We said from the very beginning, no one entity
can have that much control over something so powerful. Changed
their mind? Oh that kind of like Bill Gates on
global warming? Never mind? Yeah, yeah, never mind. Will we
get to it? Will we get to evaluation of five
hundred billion?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Never mind?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Okay, okay, And what do you think they're going to
be pulling in money wise when they go public? Now, look,
if this was just the rich kids from Silicon Valley
who we made billionaires faster than anyone else in the
history of the human race getting rid of their excess
revenue on a whim. Then they stand to be the
ones that lose all the money.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
They can't lose more than they're making an interest every day.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, but when this starts to sucking institutional lending and
individual shareholders on this big thing that some of the
world's greatest experts.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Can't even define what it is.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
And if you can't define what it is, how on
earth can you tell us where it's going.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's wild speculation at this stage. Well, and speculation varies
from it will collapse the economy literally instantly creating a crisis.
Maybe you should be buying gold to Oh, it's just
a tool, and here's five effective ways to use this
new tool.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Look, I like the Jetsons. I really like flying cars.
I really like magic ovens. I love all that stuff.
How do the Jetsons exist without artificial general intelligence? There
was no AI in the Jetsons. In other words, a
card that drives itself used to be.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Called a robot. Now people look at it and say
that's AI. Well, what else is AI? But some define
it as the ability to think better than humans.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
That's one of the original objectives was to outperform humans.
That's kind of some of the original mission statement language
that was in there. But heaven knows where they are now.
They're all over the board.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Now.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
One thing that's certain is that the division of AI
that is controlling most people's mindsets because it's got into
their face on their screens are the large language models
where AI programming software program. At this stage, we're talking
about a software program. Okay, okay, we call it x XYZ.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Who cares what? You can create a website in thirty seconds.
It can take a gross picture of you at home
and turn into a beautiful headshot, all great, wonderful uses.
And what is it.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
It is a software program that goes out and scrapes
all other digital content, then scours it, then sorts it
based upon your questions, then produces it in its own
fashion of reality.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
That's what that does. It's the ultimate photographic memory.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes, However, however, it is solely dependent upon what is
first entered. And to presume that as vast as the
Internet is on digitized content, that it is the exhaustion
of all human intelligence. There's a lot of dumb stuff
on the Internet Todaybody figure that out.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah, Davids and he's the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable,
he's host to the Public Score on two hundred stations,
he's our senior contributor. We're talking about the Gilded Age
of AI that they can't even define. Well. The first
clear and present danger is AI is here. It's growing.
Do we have the grid to power it? And the
answer is no.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
No, And the Gilded Age illustration Michael hearkens back to
a time when if you wanted power in your house,
you got it from standard oil because they're the only
ones that had the kerosene and the fuel oil to
give you any power.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
So if you wanted the lights on, you had to
deal with standard oil.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
And if you wanted to deal with standard oil, it
had come the oil had to come to you on
a Vanderbilt train. So the guilded Age had two people
who went from zero to gazillions of dollars because they
controlled all the energy. Guess what if Bill Gates, who
now doesn't care about global warming, has his way as
well as the rest of the barons of AI coming forward,

(26:44):
they'll take all the energy and leave us in candlelight.
They have no choice. Their shareholders will demand it. So
I won't have a job. I have enough energy, we won't.
I won't have a job.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
I won't want to have energy to power for my
phone to even do a search with AI. But AI
will exist.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, And if you want to keep doing your job,
then you come.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
To their studios and the stare power. It's a mess.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
We solve the problem on the public square by proposing
a state initiated set of policies that can fix this problem.
The question is will people wake up in time or
will will the gilded barons and these people remember this.
Let's not forget the theme song of Mark Zuckerberg on
his way up to being the fastest billionaire in the
history of the human race.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Move fast and break things. They might break the economy between.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
The speculation and the market and the energy crisis that
they are well in advance of creating.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
They could blow everything up on the way there. There
was a moment during the Cuban missile crisis, and I
can't remember. I gotta be careful because I don't want
the movie Thirteen Days to be the history, because most
of that movie was taken directly out of White House logs.
It may have been Kenny O'donald it may have been JFK.

(28:06):
But the bottom line was is that there is no
wise man in the room. There is no wise man
in the room on AI, and if there is, it's
only the people that will benefit from AI. But we
better get somebody wise in the room quickly, and the
president better because this is certainly, I think the most
profound issue that no one will talk about when next

(28:28):
year is in progress. But everything about our time and
all time rides on some wise man rising up in
the room. From an energy perspective and from an economic perspective,
would you agree with that?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, And that's why on Road two at the inauguration
of Donald J. Trump, you had all the energy barons
there because they knew they were going to need all
kinds of regulatory relief to get the power that they
were going to need and to get away with this
great energy steal. And this is on a grid that
already is ancient and needs replaced. So, yeah, the barons

(28:59):
are playing in Washington, DC.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Beware. Yeah, and if they don't get what they want,
they won't be standing behind JD. Vance or Marco Rubio
in the future, or any Republicans in the midterm election either.
So this is kind of some of this stuff that's
really relevant behind the scene, because what will be the
narrative of next year is potentially even a socialism versus
capitalism referendum or other things. But this is the big

(29:26):
stuff that the big money behind the scenes is really
making next year about, and it needs to get on
the President's radar. So we'll do more of this tomorrow,
I think as well. David, great analysis. As always, don't
forget the Public Square is hurt on two hundred stations,
but on demand whenever you want it at the Public
Square dot Com. This weekend they'll go very in depth

(29:48):
on the Gilded Age of AI. Thank you, David. It's
your Morning show with Michael del Journo.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
On January first, I will be sworn in.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
He's Mayor of New York City. Well, it was a
sweet for the Democrats last night. But was it a
Democrat Knight or a Democrat socialist knights or on Mam
Donnie becomes the next mayor of New York City, thirty
four years old, no experience, socialist, Muslim is lomist? What
could possibly go wrong? A fired up mom.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
Donnie thanked his family and his supporters, saying New York
has delivered a mandate for change in a new kind
of politics, returned the page.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
On a politics that abandons the many and answers only
to the feud.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Mam Donnie hammered home as promises of free buses, universal childcare,
and a freeze on rent.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
We will hire thousands more teachers. We will cut waste
from a bloated bureaucracy.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
His message to President Trump.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
To get to any of us, you will have to
get through all of us.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Scott Pringle, NBC News Radio, New York. Abigail Spanberger with
the easy victory in the governor's race in Virginia.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
We sent him message to the whole world that in
twenty twenty five, Virginia cho's pragmatism over partisanship.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Expected to be close, turned out to not be very
close at all. Mikey Cheryl proud to be New Jersey's
next governor.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
I've spoken with thousands of you over this last year.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
I know your struggles, I know your hopes, I know
your dreams. So serving you is worth any tough fight
I have to take on. Meanwhile, officials say at least
seven people are dead and eleven ninjured after a ups
cargo jet crash to take off from Louisville's Mohammad Ali
International Airport. Roy O'Neil is joining us with the latest

(31:45):
down Election night analysts analysis as well as this crash.
Let's start with the crash rory all three crew members dead.
The NTSB is investigating the rest of the deaths and
the injuries all coming on the ground. Give us a latest.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
Right so we now are up to nine confirmed fatalities
in that crash. That's according to the mayor's office there.
The airport did reopen a couple of hours ago. So
far the processing air traffic has been light, but obviously
that is a hub for ups and there's a lot
of pressure to get that open. Of course, now more

(32:21):
imagery is showing up and we're seeing the fact that
there is an engine on the side of the runway.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
That is going to be a huge clue for.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Those NTSP investigators, as it appears there was some sort
of catastrophic failure within the engine wasn't contained on that
left engine that caused a fire on the plane as
it was taking off. That MT eleven, more than thirty
years old, has three engines, two under the wings, one
in the tail. In the back and now from the
video we can see one of those engines was alongside

(32:50):
the runway, certainly making it a challenge, almost impossible for
that crew to lift off with a plane full of fuel.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
For a very long flight to Hawaii. Tragic, all right.
If we were analyzing an election night after a mayor's
race in Oklahoma City, two governors races in Texas and Tennessee,
and a proposition in Alabama, we wouldn't be surprised by
the outcome. That was pretty much all blue states and
blue cities last night. But some of the margins of
victories greater than we thought, and they may be victories

(33:20):
for the Democrats in a night that create headaches for
a year. But analysis of all the elections.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
Yeah, I think the Democrats should listen as to why
mom Donnie was the winner of that race. You know
what forced these voters made them think that turning to
a Democratic socialist was the way to go and is
that the way the rest of the party is going
When they were touting Fetterman and the last election was
much more moderate or even Governor Josh Shapiro or Wes Moore,

(33:49):
you know, obviously Gavin Newsome further to the left in California,
but it is still that turning point now for the party,
the Democratic Party as to what will its future beat.
I know Fox News wants to make Mamdani the face
of the Democratic Party, but is that really what the
Democrats in Missouri or Ohio or Michigan or thinking.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
No, because if next year becomes a midterm election referendum
on capitalism for socialism, it's not going to play nationally
the way it played last night. So you're gonna see
democrat I mean that was instant. I mean there was
a definite tone change in mom Donnie the candidate smiling
and Meek the victorious kind of tyrannically saying New York Today,

(34:32):
America tomorrow, kind of Even Van Jones on CNN was like,
what the heck is this? But it's gonna give us
a lot of fun stuff to look at and talk about.
All four victories for the Democrats last night in those
major races. Rory great reporting is always all right, guys, Listen,
the one thing you are in control of is this day.
Go make a difference in someone's life. Cherish you almost

(34:53):
see you right back here tomorrow with more journeys of
Discovery on your morning show. We're all in this together.
