Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work. But better late

(00:21):
than never. Enjoyed the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Two three, Starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Because we're in this togiven.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell charn.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Seven minutes after the hour, Rise and Shine, Early bird
gets the worm, lazy squirrel, missus the nut.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Had enough of that. Welcome to Friday, the eighth of November.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
You're of our Lord twenty twenty four on the AARN,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I am Michael del Jorno,
along with a Governor Walls impersonator, a knucklehead wanna be
David Zanati?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
What's what the uh? It's the brunning man. Actually, do
you know what that is? That's a Chris Pond.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Chris Pond was, you know, one of those high junior
high school kids that didn't play baseball with US, basketball
with US, or football with US. He was a hockey player,
but he always wore those kinds of shirts. What do
we call those, buffalo plaid? Buffalo plaid. Yeah, there it is,
doing your best till I miss it.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I already missed doing his best.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Dick Morris Read is here. Jeffrey's got the controls. I
was just going over off the air. I might as
well just continue it on the year. So we're waiting
on Arizona and Nevada to be official. I don't think
there's any question in anybody's mind that Arizona and Nevada
are both going to go to Donald Trump. In fact,
NBC has already given Nevada Donald Trump. I would start

(01:44):
right there. So Nevada is at ninety five point seven
percent reported and Donald Trump is up by fifty something thousand.
All right, But if you go inside those numbers to counties,
NY County, which is where it is not that much.
Clark County, for example, Harris one is winning fifty to

(02:05):
forty seven, So five hundred and four thousand to four
hundred and seventy eight thousand. That's not that significant, and
that's ninety seven percent reported.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
In fact, Night County.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Is where the most outstanding vote is at ninety two percent,
and that's where Trump's winning seventy percent to twenty seventy percent.
I mean, there's just when you go around by the
counties and what's in and what isn't and left to
be counted, and how many are left to be counted?
I'm with NBC, I can't and this is Fox, you know,
still who hasn't called it?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I don't know. I have no explanation for why Nevada
hasn't been counted.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Arizona is perhaps a bit of a different story and
Arizona and David made the comment offer, you think, God,
what if this had come down to Arizona? We'd all
wait on this. Donald Trump is one million, three hundred
and eighty five thousand votes. He has one million, two
hundred and thirty so he's got a lead and a
significant lead of over one hundred and fifty thousand, but
only seventy six percent reported. And then you start looking
around what hasn't come in yet? An area with Donald

(02:59):
Trump was trailing by just three thousand votes is ninety
nine percent in A big outstanding one is Pima County,
and she's winning fifty eight to forty there. But with
seventy three percent in, there's no way she's going to
find fifty thousand. Most of the heavy Republican No, here's
one that's pretty leading Republican, Americopa County that's still only

(03:21):
at seventy six percent.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
But I mean, there's could just cut the whole chase short.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
There's nobody to think she can win Arizona, Nevada right, well, Nevada.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Is done, I think, but right Maricopa is the county
in Arizona. I know people are listening at they're saying,
you know, okay, well we don't we just don't do
this until we've got it.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
But he's leading in Maricopa County fifty one to forty
seven percent. So the one with the least reported is
going to be favorable to Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Or so it appears.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And if all of them went to her, I don't
even think there's fifty thousand left.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Well.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
I think there's also the fact that Carrie Lake held
on and held on and hill On losing very close
the last time she ran statewide, So I think it's repeat.
I think this is a very localized reality. Plus, Arizona
does mail in balloting. That's how they do it, which
means you got to open those things and count them.
Maybe somewhere somewhere along the line, people are going to
realize that if you just show up, we can get

(04:13):
this taken care of a lot faster. I mean, there's
more than convenience to the voter in this process. There's
convenience to the electorate as well.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, Nevada, some have called it will be called Arizona
buried over the weekend when the news cycle's over, I
guess we'll wake up Monday morning and say it's official.
Three hundred and twelve is the electoral Here's where the
New York Times starts the morning. See the voting brooks
that swung to the right in the twenty twenty four vote.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
And then they just go through.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
All of them, from the swing states, to the cities,
to the suburbs, to the rural urban divide, to the
race and ethnicity, education attainment.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
These are common things that people have heard.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
I think there's been an erosion with black voters, and
and I think that has a lot to do with
going too far with the border, and that's been coming
and it's certainly reared. It's ugly had in a significant
manner for Kamala Harris, but nothing like the Hispanic vote
and the way that's been moving and been moving for
about six election cycles now and now to the point

(05:19):
where it's problematic for them. And then I don't think,
you know, for that last laughable campaign of women going
to the voting booth. I mean that was Kamala Harris,
a candidate for president, telling you to lie to your husband,
that's what they think of men. But this notion that
women would tell their husband they're voting for Trump and
then vote for them. They did not have the gender

(05:41):
gap that they thought, they didn't have the black vote,
they didn't have the Hispanic vote.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It was just kind of all the above.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
What stood out to you, The young vote, I think
is where we need to spend most of our time.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, well, and that's very important and very significant. I
think that my friend doctor Allen again, who looks at
these things from an historical perspective, We've had a lot
of conversations over the last several weeks and days with
our trustees at the American Policy round Table and our staff.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I would say the summary of all.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Those conversations is the Democrat machine get mugged by reality.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
You know, America is built upon a premise that there
is such a thing as truth, that those truths are
self evident. When you use the Department of Justice to
prosecute a person to the point where it becomes persecution,
people feel morally obligated to consider that. And when you
do it to a former president of the United States
for clear political purposes, people start to say, wait a second,

(06:39):
if that could happen to him, it.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Could happen to me. And in New York, the peris
are not done. Yeah no, and they're still not done.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
That sense of this self righteous prosecution of attacking a
man while you're doing the very same thing to him
that you're attacking him. The moral inconsistency of the entire
process just rubs against the common sense and the internal
soul of people. So you can't go out, as Joe
Biden has done, and talk about the soul of a

(07:06):
nation and then make up the rules as if they
apply differently to different souls.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It doesn't or that you want to slap them on
the rear end or in the face, or call them
a rapist, or call them a criminal, and then tell
everybody that's joy and that's the soul of the nation.
So too far with the prosecutions, too far with the borders,
kind of like when Antifa and Black Lives Matter were
burning things in the streets and taking over swas the

(07:33):
land in Seattle and so on. It was all too
far for the American people who have a normal sense
of justice. Oh, something happened to you, so you want
to rob a TV. It just didn't make sense to people,
or that cops are bad and bad guys are good.
It just all went too far. That's kind of what
they did with the border. They were trying to say that,
you know, ten million, it's not an invasion. Yeah, there's

(07:55):
some bad people coming through, but this is what's necessary
for the workforce. It's it's like, could trouble not invasion,
And it was just too far for everyone, especially for
the black voters and.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
The Hispanic The question now, the question that's going to
be most interesting going forward is and we may not
be here yet, we may not be here yet, We're
going qui because he's going to start deporting. The political
parties have taken such advantage, both of them of this
issue for different reasons. When the general public of America
knows that if you give us a box, a box

(08:28):
of donuts and a pot of coffee and take four
people out of the phone book, we can probably solve
the situation if we just think about common sense and fairness.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
It's not that tough a problem to solve, and everybody
knows that. The frustration level of this who knows.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Maybe because Trump only has one term, maybe he will
invest the capital that he has in bringing about a resolution.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think he's in the position where he could. Yeah,
if not not when right too late is the only
next step. The youth vote huge. And let me tell
you something, this is just pure gut. I have no research.
I couldn't prove it to you if I wanted to,
And it's somewhat to a degree anecdotal because I have
kids in this range. There's something about this gen Z generation,

(09:13):
especially the young end of the gen Z generation, and
they I can tell you what their weakness is. I
can tell you they have no problem with gay, but
they don't buy transgender.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
They just don't.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
I mean, there's just some things in this generation that
are very remarkably conservative, and I don't know if it's
birthed in a rebellion from their crazy left parents, but
I'm telling you, if they had a problem with young
voters under thirty this election, and they had a problem
with Hispanics this election, I'm not so certain about blacks
depending on how things go. But with Hispanics and young people,

(09:49):
this is an ongoing problem for the Democrat Party. This
generation isn't buying all their crazy wokeness. They think it's nuts.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Well, the facts catch up with you eventually, and Michael,
I also believe the facts are going to catch up
with the country and with the political process on the
question of abortion, because the campaigns that are being run
are being run on mythology, not upon facts in reality.
So there are a lot of things that have been
used by politicians to create a shorthand response from people,

(10:19):
but they're not factual. Eventually, if people keep telling the truth,
it catches up. Well, last question for you, and it's
a double barreled. I don't think so with the youth,
but it's possible with the youth. I don't think it's
possible with Hispanics, but it might be. I'm not sure
it's possible at all with the Blacks. But keeping this going,

(10:42):
could anybody have pulled this off this time around?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Except Donald Trump? And can anybody pull it off four
years from now that is not Donald Trump? And how
must Donald Trump governor? And how must much and how
shall we live the next four years to ensure that
that's true? Because right now I would say on the record,
it happened, I saw it coming. I don't necessarily seeing
it continue. But it depends how they live the next

(11:07):
four years. That's the whole thing. Now, it depends on accomplishments.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Now, it depends upon how well the governance happens, and
how consistently it happens, on the principles of the founding
that resonate with people.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
It depends on what they do, not now what they say.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Down goes Fraser, down goes Fraser. All right, Democrats got
knocked out House, Senate presidency. It's a big election in
four years, and how they behave in the next four
years is huge. And I know it's early, it's just
the first few days after getting soundly beaten. But if

(11:46):
this is a party that's ready to point fingers and
implode and then they lose the next one, they may
be done. And what I see now is the far
left that's been at war with this party for a
long time, the AOC and the Bernie Sanders and the others.
They're going to make their move. They got a first
firm up their own party and then build that party

(12:09):
with a winning ticket to win in four years. I
think their existence is at stake. Well, that depends on
whether or not we find John Podesta.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Where is he?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
He was in the crowd yesterday looking very somber and
picking his nose by the way when they showed him.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Because the moneyman determines the answer to much of that question,
and John Podesta is the money man.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
He holds the purse for the billionaires.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's the question. Where will they go next? Yeah, I
think it's Wes Moore, But he wants. I think he
wants to just quietly let this go to hell in
a hand basket and fade into the sunset. I mean,
he can't get out of that White House soon enough,
I think, And I think they got to minimize the
drama between now in inauguration day.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Would you agree with that? And I think that they're
about doing that, and now I think they're shocked. Michael,
I think they're shocked. You don't see the resistance yet
emerging on the streets. It will be there, but Joe
Biden is doing nothing to facilitate it. And Kamala Harris
basically now has lost her voice.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, she's done. All right, David, go have a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Thanks for your service and all your insights throughout this
entire prosk We've had.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
What a year we've had, let alone what a week.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
And by the way, what was that Joe Biden? And
frankly and by the way, pulled to Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
The word encouragement is when you stand behind me and
have the courage I lack and strengthen me. I go
through my to do list of things I'm facing today,
and all of you just abandoned me and went, wow,
I'm not even going to give you a countdown on
this one.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
I'm just on my own right. Did mean to overwhelm
me with my to do list?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I'm dealing with a lot of heavy stuff over here?

Speaker 6 (13:51):
We are?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
You really are?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I love my listeners. That's why the name of the
show is your morning show, and we can't have it
without your voice. To the talk back line, we go.
Let's start with John at double will you KB and Youngstown.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
This is John from Youngstown, Ohio. You know what, Michael,
I couldn't agree with you more. I know so many
young people that have gone off to college in the
last six, seven, eight years and they get to college
and there's this woke and this transgender and these students
that are being called cats and dogs, and it just
makes them crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
They have nothing to do.

Speaker 7 (14:24):
They want nothing to do with these young people with
that crazy woke culture. And I think it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, there.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Is a different generation brewing, and I can tell you
I've watched and I've processed watching what my children. I
just lived their childhood with them, kids that we played with,
kids that slept over.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
And then someone gave for a little while, came back.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
One thought he was a dog for a long time,
slept in a dog bed, ate out of a dog
dish while the family was eating dinner. It it is
an issue of woke too far. I can tell you
that this young generation acknowledges that if people are gay,
they don't judge them. They don't persecute them, they don't
make fun of them. They acknowledge it. They're not buying

(15:14):
this trand thing. And having men competing with women is
too far. Having men people who were born men thinking
they're women in locker rooms or in bathrooms, it's all
too far. Thinking you're an animal is too far. And
castrating and other things, it's all too about. They've gone
too far with it. And then there's this whole notion

(15:34):
of natural rebellion. You know, I guess if you wanted
to rebel against your conservative parents, you wentn't found and
heard things. But you know, kids don't arrive at college
not having heard.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Any of this stuff. It's just all too far. Vincent, Florida,
Let's get Vincent at least.

Speaker 8 (15:48):
Hey, good morning, Michael, Vincent, Florida. I've been spending the
last couple of days listening to some of the liberal
broadcast MSNBC in particular. I'm sure I've doubled their viewership
by watching their station, but I've heard some really interesting
thoughts and I feel like this is the party that's
written the code tales of the inner city poor and

(16:09):
the immigrant vote forever.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
And they can't stop patting themselves on the back.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
That they're the college educated side. It's interesting and I
don't think they've realized that the jigs up on holiday.

Speaker 9 (16:22):
This is Shannon Gregory and my morning show is Your
Morning Show with Michael door Jono.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Hi, it's Michael.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Your Morning Show can be heard live on great radio
stations across the country like WYLM and w DOV and
Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the
Voice in Middle Georgia. And we're going to need some blankets.
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 10 (16:56):
Social media time wasters. The kids got his calendar, I'm
there for the homework schedule. They've got things they have
to download, you know, the school district will tell them
that this.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Is online and you have to download this and download that.

Speaker 11 (17:09):
You know.

Speaker 10 (17:09):
They do that on their phones and now they don't
have access to it, or the routine stuff of hey mom,
I'm gonna go to Johnny's house after school.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I can't believe the old we could have a school
shooter and need to use the phone hasn't come up
but no.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
They even avoided that.

Speaker 10 (17:22):
I think that's intentional saying, you know, that's not to
say it's a boogeyman, but to say, you know, yes,
that's the extreme case. But they're showing how this is
a much more mundane, routine thing, that the devices are
part of the kids' lives every day, and maybe there
need to be some accommodations there.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
All right, Listen, I'm a reasonable person. You're a reasonable person.
Those are reasonable things. After all. Hasn't our phone become
that for us everything? I host a national show, all
my guests, all my show topics, all my notes, they're
all on my phone. The stock market's on the phone,
my calendar's on the phone, my teams is on the phone.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
All right.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
So, I mean, if that's our reality, it's their reality.
But then there's the other side of it. Can you
imagine if they let me bring my Nintendo or Saga
gaming in with me when I was in school, or
an encyclopedia reference tool. So, I mean, I don't know,
why is my position of Okay, there's a bucket, you know,

(18:22):
you also have your notes.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Most of them have a I don't want to sound
like we're in an Elite County.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I don't know how common this is, but all of
our students are given a laptop and they don't own
it and they give it back at the end of
the year. But that's what they're using for a lot
of that. I mean, a bowl on the teacher's desk,
cell phone goes in, grab it on.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
The way out.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
I don't know, can't we just has everything got to
be like an endless struggle and fight?

Speaker 10 (18:46):
Well, I mean, but that's why when some of these
districts are implementing bands. I mean, that's not what's happening, right, Yeah, no, no,
I get that's the issue. I mean, I think your
compromise is something that the parents are arguing for and
also saying, and hey, I wish our student were given
tablets or laptops for the school year as well, since
that would also help, you know, quell some of these

(19:07):
concerns or.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Just like every I mean, I'm trying to think. I
struggled to do this. I was trying to think of
something like from when we were young. But you know,
it's in your pocket. If it comes out of your pocket,
you're thrown out a class and you get the tension.
Go to the rocks and sticks when you were young.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Well, I don't know what it was, but you know.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
And then at the end of the hour, if if
they're giving assignment, if you want to take your cell
phones out, here's the assignment, you know.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
I mean, they just incorporate and I can.

Speaker 10 (19:34):
I was just talking to a station and the host
was says, well, I graduated high school in twenty eleven.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Oh, I would have hung up on him.

Speaker 10 (19:41):
But no, I have a very real world comparison here,
and I hate to do it because it dates myself.
Is to say, yeah, our teacher, mister Iacono, social studies
teachers seventh grade, would always confiscate my Rubik's cube?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Did you, by the way, what was what was your
fastest Rubik's Cube solution time?

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Never did it?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Never did it with the time. My son did it
in a minute in eighteen seconds. Oh, isn't that crazy?

Speaker 12 (20:09):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I am a little bit older than you. I don't
mind saying I'm sixty. I have never been able to
solve that, Darth. I don't know what you I don't
know what the brain has to be wired to.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Do, but mine isn't wired. I've never solved the Rubik's
Cube in my life. So there you go. Well, thank
goodness your son's mother, yes, she obviously could. Or how
about a cracker barrel? Do you ever end up with
just one tea left? I don't. Oh yeah, that's a
standard trick though, Oh it is. I mean, there's just
a way to do that one. Rory always gets the
final story. Have you started shopping?

Speaker 1 (20:39):
So was it?

Speaker 7 (20:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (20:39):
It was Decker yesterday that brought up twenty twenty eight
candidates already, And the listeners are like, are.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
You kidding me?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I haven't even digested dinner. You're gonna go right to
holiday shopping. So they'll end with that note, we'll talk
to you when you come back. Thanks Rory. What to
do with kids and their cell phones? There's got to
be a just some things.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
John F.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Kennedy was on sasas what's the biggest observation about being president?
And he's just said that, you know, like, when you're
a senator, you can get a signed consider solvable, But
when you're the president of the United States, if something
comes to you, nobody else could solve it. So the
only thing you do all day is the hardest things

(21:19):
that no one else could solve. That's how important being
president can be.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
But what to do with phone? I mean somethings. Can't
we solve these things? Why is everything going to be
like a national debate as not?

Speaker 1 (21:31):
I think take some executive privilege jet right now and
do top five stories of the day, if I please, Jack.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
There's still the best of my friend where I love you.
Why is that chair blocking your face? I can't tell
if you're.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Making a face at me. Let's do the show. Come on,
come on back in here. See that Jack Kennedy statue.
So my wife and kids had to go to Tulsa
on an emergency. I had a really bad case of
the flu, and I do remember my temperature being one
hundred and six. Now why I didn't call nine to
one one is beyond me. But I took some adville,

(22:06):
I drank some gatorade, and I fell asleep and a
friend of mine, Margaret Klucci, who was a nurse, came
to check on me in Andrew's absence. And when Margaret
arrived at the house, and this is like seventeen years ago,
when she I have no recollection of doing it well.
He arrived in the house, I was sweating and sound

(22:27):
asleep in my bed clutching Jack's head.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
That's how she found me, to take care of me
long come. That's how you know. That's a typical Italian, right.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
All my uncles died with Bryoshki is like an Italian
version of Alka Seltzer. They all died in the kitchen.
They're found on the ground, the bottles broken. They thought
they had adjeda indigestion, but they were having a heart attack.
That was me one hundred and sixty degree temperature. I'm
sure I'm fine. That may be why I sometimes go blank.
I probably killed a lot of brain cells during that battle. Hey,

(23:02):
Donald Trump is the president elect, and the Democrats their
finger pointing at each other as to how this happened.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 6 (23:09):
After Kamala Harris was defeated by Donald Trump, the White
House is defending President Biden for not jumping out of
the race sooner.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
This is how elections are.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
This is ebbs and flows.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
You win, you lose, and this is where we are today.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
What we're going to focus on is respecting the American
people and how we move forward in the next seventy
four days.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
White House Press Secretary Krein John Pierre says anything that
happens at this point would just be second guessing. She
deflected any questions and would only say that Biden always
put the country first. She added that Biden made the
best choice by dropping out when he did. Many Democrats
are now asking whether Biden should have quit earlier to
give Harris more time to make her case to the
American people.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A lot of conspiracy theories. Wait a minute,
it's not over with you.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Joe's going to step aside, so calmly can be president
for sixty days just to break the glass ceiling. Well,
there's no signs that's going to happen. The other conspiracy theory, Oh,
he's got a partner, his son Hunter Biden.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Will that one. The White House is officially addressed.

Speaker 13 (24:05):
On Thursday, the White House Press Secretary was asked if
Hunter would be pardoned for his sentence commuted in the
wake of Donald Trump's victory. She told reporters that will
not happen. Hunter Biden was found guilty of lying about
using drugs while purchasing a gun six years ago. He's
set to be sentenced on December fourth. He could face
up to twenty five years in prison. I'm Tammy Trivio.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
There is one more awkward ceremony for Kamala Harris, and
it's not the inauguration. The United States has a new
president elect, and when the final tally is tallied, there's
someone that has to certify it, and that's Kamala Harris,
who got defeated pre Tennis. With that formality, according.

Speaker 14 (24:46):
To the Constitution, the Vice President of the United States
is also the head of the Senate. That person declares
the results of a White House election, so that means
Kamala Harris will officially announce the new administration of Donald Trump.
It is truly a formality, but on January sixth, the
Vice President, head of the Senate, and one time presidential
opponent Kamala Harris will formally certify Trump as president. I'm

(25:10):
bre Tennis.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
That lord the interest rate a quarter point. Brian Shook
has more.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
Federal Reserve Chair to Rome Powell addressed the move in
a press conference Thursday.

Speaker 9 (25:19):
We continue to be confident that with an appropriate recalibration
of our policy stance, strength in the economy and the
labor market can be maintained, with inflation moving sustainably down
to two percent.

Speaker 11 (25:30):
This follows a fifty basis points reduction earlier this fall,
the first lowering of rates in four years. It comes
on the heels of Donald Trump's election victory and positive
news that inflation is coolish.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I'm Brian Shook. Sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic is getting pushed back.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Now Michael and more details Mark Mayfield's back.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Michael was originally scheduled to hit theaters in April, but
now will not be released until October of next year.
Jafara Jackson, the nephew of the late singer, will star
as the King of Pop. Neil Long, Laura Harrier, Miles Teller,
and Coleman Domingo round out the cast. Footage of the
film was shared at CinemaCon in April. That's where the
makers reveal it's going to include thirty songs and have

(26:26):
a long run time in order to do justice to
Michael's story by Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Am I the only one to talk. Mark was joining
the sound so much he was never going to do
the report. I thought Jess was playing the music. Not
a lot of big consequential college games this weekend. Georgia
has Ole miss Ole miss is sixteenth in the country.
They could knock off Georgia number two and LSU Alabama,
always a great rival.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Read the only this time it's eleven versus fourteen. If
you fell asleep.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
The Ravens, with twenty one in the fourth quarter go
on to win thirty five thirty four over the Bengals
at home of your morning show interest This week, we
got the forty nine ers in Tampa to your morning
show City, San Francisco and Tampa, we'll clash. Commanders are
going to host the Steelers. The Titans are at so
Fi to take on the Chadges, who are much improved.
Cardinals host the Jets, and the Cowboys will have their

(27:14):
hands full. The Eagles are coming to town.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Start with Rich He's in Pa. There is no joy
in Mudville tonight. The Mighty Casey has struck out.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Thank God, Down Ghost Casey, Down, gos Casey. You know
it crossed my mind when I said that Donald Trump
would win with three hundred and twelve electoral votes that
I might have a lot of egg on my face
if it didn't happen, I have egg on my face.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
I said it'd be Republicans plus three. It turns out
to be plus four.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Stevie is listening on WRC and Memphis.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
I'm enjoying listening to your radio program, Go Trump and
Vance Yay. That keeps it simple.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'm thinking lot about Mark Cuban today who said that
Donald Trump is afraid of intelligent, strong women and that's
why he never surrounds himself with intelligent strong women. Well,
he had been surrounding himself at the time. Mark Cuban
made the ridiculous comment with Susie Wiles, who headed up
his campaign. And she will now be the first female
White House Chief of staff. And I don't think it's

(28:20):
to shut up Mark Cuban. It's because she's that tough,
and she's that smart, and she's that good. John Decker's
here a lot of speculation about who will be a
part of the Donald Trump cabinet. In fact, your morning
show Bookie called up with the odds on cabinet members.
So we're just gonna move from the odds of the
presidency to the odds of cabinet members. You're the White
House correspondent, You're the closest inside the belt.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Wait, what are you hearing?

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Well, let's talk about some of those important posts, like
Secretary of State. Michael Secretary of State, I think the
front runner for that position is Marco Rubio, who serves
on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He's eyed that post
for quite some time. We'll see if the ultimately gets
that nod from Donald Trump. Another person up for that

(29:04):
is likely Rick Grinnell, who has served in a variety
of posts in the first Trump administration, including US Ambassador
to Germany, Director of National Intelligence, and he's someone who
also would like to be the next Secretary of State.
As for Secretary of Defense, two.

Speaker 12 (29:21):
Names certainly on the list. One is Tom Cotton, who
serves as a.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
US Senator from Arkansas, and the other is a name
you're familiar with, Mike loo'z Mike Pompeo, who served as
both the CIA Director and the Secretary of State in
the first Trump administration.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
I would lean towards him on that one. Any others well, sure.

Speaker 12 (29:42):
Secretary of Energy Doug Bergham, who of.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
Course ran for the Republican nomination but obviously lost to
Donald Trump, but has remained loyal to him and Donald
Trump when he told him that he was not going
to be his running mate said hello, mister secretary. So
I think he will definitely be a part yes, the
Trump cabinet. As to some names that I get asked
about quite a bit, even by you, is Elon Musk.

(30:08):
Elon Musk, will he be a part of the Trump cabinet?

Speaker 12 (30:10):
I think the answer to that is no, no. But
he's going to have a task, right, He's got a
lot on his plate, he's.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
Got running SpaceX, running Tesla.

Speaker 12 (30:18):
But he will be an.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Informal advisor for sure to Donald Trump outside of government.
And then r SK Junior. Remember, if you're nominated for
a cabinet post, you have to go through Senate confirmation.
I think that's going to be troublesome, even with Republicans
in control of the Senate. So I do expect him
to be a part of the White House in a
very senior role, but one role that does not require

(30:39):
Senate confirmation.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Well, and then, of course the idea of Health and
Human Services secretary has been kicked around. If confirmation was possible.
You mentioned a lot of senators, they're going to need
that plus four. What becomes of all those Senate seats.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Well, you know you're only going to get that tap
that post. If there's a Republican governor, there's a Republican
governor of Florida, Marco Rubio gets the nod, there's a
Republican governor of Arkansas. If Tom Cotton gets the nod,
there's obviously Doug Bergham is the Republican governor. His lieutenant
governor would assume that role. Who's a Republican. So they're

(31:14):
all good there, you.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Know, on that front.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
So you know, I think that that is one of
the reasons why those names are in play to be.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
In the Trump cabinet.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
You know, Donald Trump's last White House Press secretary went
on to be a governor of Arkansas. Sarah how could
be Santa? Anything kicked around about who might get that nod?

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Maybe they get.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Does Sean Hannity leave radio and go become that now?

Speaker 5 (31:39):
I think he liked his life, likes talking about politics,
but now he doesn't leave that for that type of post.
But look, you know Caroline Levitt, who served in the
Trump Press Office and the first Trump administration, served as
the Press secretary for this campaign. She certainly, I'm sure
has her eyes on that post and would not be
surprised if she gets.

Speaker 12 (31:58):
That post in the first iteration.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
I say first iteration because, as you know quite well,
Trump runs through lots of press secretaries, he runs through
lots of chiefs of staff. We saw that in the
first term. We'll see if that happens once again.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
So a lot of talk about women in history didn't
happen at the top of the ticket. But Donald Trump's
first order of business taking his campaign manager Susie Wiles,
daughter of Pat Summer All, and made her the chief
of staff. So some history made in the end close
to the presidency, that's for sure.

Speaker 12 (32:29):
Yeah, And isn't that ironic?

Speaker 5 (32:30):
You know that it's a Republican named Donald Trump who
makes history naming the first woman chief of staff.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
It wasn't Barack.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Obama, it wasn't Joe Biden. It was Donald Trump who
has broken the mold and made history naming Susie wall
as his chief of staff. For the second iteration of
the Trump administrations, the end of.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
A historic week, which really is the end of historic
fifty two weeks. I mean, what a crazy journey. We're
all in this together.
