Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. 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, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:21):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Bill Truman. Were just dat enough coffee this morning,
I tell you, friends, seven minutes after the hour, good
morning and welcome to Wednesday, November the nineteenth. You have
our lord twenty twenty five. Next hour. Well, first, we
had a long civil war within the Democrat Party. Then
(00:53):
it became a hot civil war between the socialists and
the progressives. But now I was like even this socialists
of a little side war together. We're trying to coin
the phrase of what is a socialist to name only
or what is too socialists We're gonna ask David Sanati
if a party divided against itself can survive another division.
(01:14):
We'll do that next hour, Your Sounds the Day, next
half hour, Our Spectacular tomorrow on the show Scott Jennings
you know and love him from Fighting the Democrats on CNN.
He's out with a new book. He'll be joining us tomorrow.
We'll kick around some of these issues of this week.
He's featured in our Sounds of the Day responding to
a group of senators and representatives who recorded a sixty
(01:37):
second commercial for our military. I'll play that for you
next half hour. And the housing market, it's apparently stuck.
Mom and pop stores are being hit by affordability crisis,
and there's a new report on how Americans are planning
to spend the holidays this year. It all adds up
to an economic roundup, and that all adds up to
saying good morning to our national correspondent Roy O'Neil. Good morning,
y hey Michael.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yes, the folks over at READ looking at the October
real estate numbers say the things are pretty much stock.
As you said, the new listings are sort of flat
and the sales are sort of flat. But in large
part because those mortgage rates are still around six and
a quarter percent, and that's keeping a lot of people
a lot of money on the sidelines right now. Technically,
(02:19):
they'll tell you it's a buyer's market because houses are
selling for about a point and a half less than
the asking price that out there, but still the median
sale price, meaning half the home sold for above this amount,
half for below the amount four hundred and forty thousand
dollars in October, saying I mean a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That's everywhere average to get SAE, so anywhere desirable. We're
getting close to a million is the new four hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Thousand, right And this thing's got up so fast, and
obviously wages aren't keeping track and pace, and all the
other expenses related to managing and keeping that house are
also getting very expensive, which is why this affordability issue
keeps on coming up.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know, I think of a job my dad got
in nineteen eighty and at the time it was I
remember it being like a big deal. It was. It
was a two year deal at an NBC station in Chicago,
and it's like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
two years, and it seemed like a lot of money,
and then you know, we get older and then we
make that much or whatever, and we think we're better
(03:22):
than our dad. So I just threw it into the Google.
What one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year
would be equivalent today? And do you know? It was
almost six hundred thousand dollars? Wow? Before you know? So
I was because I remember looking back and I'm going,
there's no way I couldn't run one house. My dad
had a place in Chicago, bus in New Orleans, and
(03:45):
I'm like, how did he do that? Well, one hundred
and twenty five thousand went a long way back then,
a lot further than it goes today. So yeah, houses,
that house we were living in that was ninety five
thousand dollars is probably six hundred thousand dollars today. That's
why you can't pull that up. We all know what
the problem is, the interest rates, and we all know
that they haven't been lowered. Mortgage rates don't go along
with interest rates, but they tend to always precede each other,
(04:09):
things like fifty year mortgage. I'm not a fan of
things like transferable mortgage rates, which you just simply can't
impose that on the contract with a bank. I don't
think anybody's quite figured out how to get the inventory
loosened up.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Well, it's a supply issue, right, and we're also not
building enough for those entry level homes. And you know,
the federal government can pound the table and say all
it wants to, but you know, home construction really is
a local issue. It's a local cities and towns deciding
where communities can be built. And that's where we need
to shake the tree and get this thing going.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
All right. I know we're almost out of time, But
if inventory is a solution for housing and rates coming down,
the affordability crisis, I think that's energy, right, That's how
all this stuff gets to these mom and pop stores.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, that's a big part of the equation. You know,
gas prices are about where they were a year ago.
Many people will say their electric bills have gotten much
higher in the past few years. I'm not blaming the
Trump administration, just saying in general that they've seen a
sharp increase in their electric rates over the past decade,
and that again, those are some of the bills that
really hit these small businesses particularly hard as they operate
(05:18):
on some very thin margins.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And I don't know where how we plan to spend
the holiday fits into all this.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But uh, well, you know, wallet ub random numbers and said,
depending on your city, what the debt to income ratio
is the average aid And still they set what your
holiday budget.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Should be by city. So what city do you want
me to look up with?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
They did one hundred and fifties, five hundred and fifty cities,
so India city.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I'm okay, I'm gonna favorite Saint Louis, Missouri. Oh I
went with Nashville first.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Okay, Yeah, Saint Louis four hundred and thirty five on
the list, saying their their their holiday budget should be
just over one thousand dollars. I think Nashville, as it
went past my eyes roughly about the same. For more
than thirty four on the list should be spending about
one thy sixteen dollars should be your budget for all
the parties for a household per household.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm going to propose that at our next family meeting,
but I don't think I got my post. See, so translation,
we're now putting an exact dollar amount on how we
overspend every holiday. Well, thanks, for that. Now there is
an affordability crisis. We're he's going to be back in
the third hour of the Trump administration beginning the process
of dismantling the Department of Education. Rory's got that story
in our third hour. Great reporting as always, Rory. Right,
(06:31):
let me give you the background on a big portion
of what today is beyond the Epstein issues. All right,
so look, for the longest time, I'm just really quick,
so anybody that's here heard this a lot, don't feel
a need to run away. For the longest time, there's
been a fight within the Democrat Party. Justice Socialist Democrats
began a movement. Their goal is to take over the
(06:54):
Democrat Party. When we get to midterm elections, it's primary season.
Keep an eye on them. They go at AOC is
a great example. AOC ran and took out of office
a ten term Democrat because their plan was to first
take over the Democrat Party. Then they're gonna get rid
(07:16):
of the Electoral College, and they're going to dismantle the Republic.
So here's this socialist movement. Then somewhere along the way,
with enough distance from nine to eleven, you start getting
an Islamist movement within the socialist movement. Mam Donnie, of
course is the epitome of that, but so are many
in the squad, especially for Minneapolis. Now, Mom Donnie, you
(07:42):
have the mayor's race in Seattle, Los Angeles coming up,
and now you have a socialist getting ready to target
Hakeem Jeffries, after which one socialist, Mom Donnie, told him,
don't do it. Why. My best guess is it was
a deal cut with Hakim Jeffries trying to get his endorsement.
(08:06):
My second guess is, we don't need too many of
us doing this at once, or we don't need weaker
socialist candidates making strong moves in Congress while our strongest
socialist AOC is taking over the mantle of Bernie Sanders.
You need to chill a little bit. Whatever the reason
(08:27):
you have, Mom Donnie telling Chiassi don't run against Takiem Jeffries,
Chiassi says, I'm running against Akiem Jeffries two, which, now
AOC quickly distances herself. So in some sort of socialist
breach of etiquette, because one socialist didn't obey another socialist demand,
(08:49):
a third socialist well back the progressive, not the socialist.
And so when we started our conversation this morning, We're like, okay,
they're like degrees of socialists. Now, there was always degrees
of democrats, right, there were socialist Democrats, Progressive Democrats, Establsmate Democrats,
Breacan Democrats. But now do we have like degrees socialists.
(09:17):
That's why when we talked to David Sanati, the real
question is can a party divide it against itself survive
even further divisions. We'll just have course banquet and in
course light. Now you got I don't know, banquet light.
(09:40):
All these degrees of socialism, is there only room for
so many socialists at the table? They do they not
want a mad rush like a land rush, too many
socialist primary challenges because the Progressive Democrats to actually win
because you'll divide this socialist vote or the youth vote.
(10:04):
Maybe it's AOC doesn't want anybody. I mean that would
be Now you have Chiassi, who is no mom Donnie
or no official socialist brand approved running to take out
the Democrat head in the House, while she's running to
take out the Democrat head in the Senate. Although I'm
(10:25):
thoroughly convinced AOC is going to run for president and
she'll be in the lead midway through the primary. There's
a lot of jockey in going on here now. Meanwhile,
in the midst of that, so this is where I
got to flip Gregory and make the world go away.
In the midst of all this degrees of socialist and
(10:48):
socialist Mom Donnie approved versus not approved, or AOC and
Bernie Sanders approved versus not approved. The New York City
mayor who's upset with Chiasi for not listening to him
out running against the king, Jeffries is supporting someone everyone's
told him to distance himself from. A Palestinian candidate to
take his place in the Assembly who once said white
(11:19):
supremacy and America was to blame for nine to eleven.
Say a loo to Palestinian Abercuross. Remember when we said
from the very beginning socialist, that's nothing. But somebody point
blank asked Zoran Mom Donnie, I think we get the
(11:41):
picture from his father and mother and from some of
his quotes. Are you an Islamist, never mind socialist, because
he's clearly wanting his seat in the state legislature to
be taken by an Islamist. As his Islamist seat sits
(12:04):
down in the Mayor's office of our largest city. Mam
Donnie made his remarks. His outgoing may elect Eric Adams
met with net Yahoo and encouraged him to attend Mam
Donnie's upcoming inauguration, and Mom Donnie's remarks were, he doubled down.
(12:25):
If he be net Yahoo comes to New York, he
will have him arrested for war crimes. Meanwhile, he doubles
down on his support for aberkaas I don't know, hates Israel,
hates Jews, wants to arrest net Nyaho, wants to replace
(12:49):
his seat in the legislature with an anti American who
believes white supremacy and Americans are responsible for nine to eleven,
supporting an Islamist as an Islamist against Israel and potentially
probably as an Islamist against the American way of life
as well. What are we putting in office? And what
(13:15):
kind of chaos lies ahead in the new year? Make
the war way? I can't do it like you kin.
Do doctors have Black Friday sales? Well, the doctors at
Brickhouse Nutrition do. They just announced their Black Friday thirty
percent off sale. It's the biggest sale of the year,
the most impressive health and nutrition products in the industry
(13:37):
are now thirty percent off at Brickhousesale dot Com. Products
like we Love Lean, the doctor formulated weight loss supplement
for people who want to lose meaningful weight and keep
it off without injections, thirty percent off Creatone creating designed
just for women to help you look leaner, in shape
and tone. Even thirty percent off my favorite Field of Greens,
the only superfruit and vegetable drink shown in university study
(14:00):
to actually slow aging, and only Field of Greens promises
better health results. Your doctor will notice every brick house
product from Better Sleep to Superior College and thirty percent
off at brickhouse Sale dot com. But hurry these Black
Friday sales they go fast. I'm stocking up on Lean.
I'm doing some stocking stuffers for my kids who steal
(14:20):
my Lean, and you should do the day to do
the same during the thirty percent off. That's Brickhousesale dot Com.
One more time, brickhouse Sale dot Com.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The Jeffrey Epstein files will be released as soon as
the President signs and releases them. I don't know what
it does for the victims. But it does a lot
for American's curiosity for partisan, polarized media and politicians on
both sides to use as a weapon. But here we go.
In the release of the files, the President facing some
criticism for calling one female reporter a piggy. He also
(14:57):
attacked an ABC reporter in the White House for her
tone and questions in front of the Saudi Well, we're
finishing up a trillion dollar deal with the Saudis and
she's bringing up what we killed. It was an uncomfortable moment.
And of course we'd love to have your morning show
with your voice, So I'm gonna start with Bill and Tampa.
That makes sense to you. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
As far as the Epstein files go, this is ridiculous.
These poor victims are never going to see any justice
from the atrocities that they suffered at the hand of
the one percent. This is just a political football. It's
a distraction. We should be talking about bringing fuel prices
down and the economy and the things that actually matter
(15:42):
to the American people.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm so disgusted. Yeah, and that's something the President was
trying to do. But everybody wanted the new shiny toy,
and they claimed he was hiding something by doing that,
and so you got your shiny toy or is it
a bomb about to go off? Russ and Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I'm thinking maybe he called her piggy because she was
trying to hog theod time from the legitimate reporters of
what was going on for our own personal agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Uh, that's a that's up there with Jeffreys. Jeffries was
I think her name was Peggy and he meant to
say Peggy and said piggy. Now her name was Catherine,
and she's not a piggy. She's actually very thin, which
is why I came up with a theory. Maybe he
was trying to say twiggy and said piggy. I hate
it when I can't read my own writing. It's Youngstown
and I don't know why I can't. I cannot make
(16:32):
out my own handwriting. What John, Uh, it looks like
Lackey or Laurie, Laurie and your lor in Youngstown. Hi, Michael,
how many questions did she ask?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Was she being a piggy because she was trying to
ask too many questions?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's just my thought, And you guys are coming up
with theories. So both the President may or may not
have met Joe Wee in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Mike, I think that AOC is not very intelligent as
far as making wise decisions, but she's very cunning, and
there's a big difference between wisdom and cunning.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
She's slick as can be, and she knows how to
get up through there. That's a powerful point. AOC, by
the way, graduated Kumlatti from Boston University in twenty eleven,
earning a Bachelor's of Arts degree in international relations and economics.
During her time in college, she also interned for US
Senator Ted Kennedy, focusing on foreign affairs and immigration issues.
(17:32):
Don't think of her just as a goofball bartender. Now,
she's smart.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
My name is Joey from Goodyear, Arizona, and my morning
show is Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your Morning Show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty whn Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy WKBN at Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio one
thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen
to us live in the morning, and of course we're
so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy on the
(18:10):
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning show on Michael Del Jorno. Jeffrey's got the sound,
Red's got the content, and I got your voices. We'll
get your talkbacks in a moment, also Sounds of the
Day in minutes. Trump is facing some criticism for calling
a female reporter piggy. I'm not making fun. I think
(18:30):
that that is a most inappropriate thing to have done.
There are people now in the talkbacks defending him. Well,
they attack him every day. You know, everybody has a
breaking point. It's still wrong. Nobody's saying it's right. We
were having fun with that. Jeffrey, trying to defend the president, said,
I saw an ex that her name just what I saw.
(18:51):
I was just reporting, I said, And I did see.
Her name was Peggy. And he's saying Peggy, not piggy.
I had not ranted up the red flag pole. And
of course her name is Catherine, and that's nowhere near that.
And then Red chimes in, and by the way, she's
not overweight at all. In fact, she's very thin, to
which I came up with maybe he meant to say
twiggy instead of people, but we're all just joking. Of
(19:13):
course it's inappropriate. As far as the other reporter from ABC,
Mary Bruce, you know, he's got a trillion dollar deal,
he's sitting at the White House. You bring up somebody
he may or may not have killed. So he just
harped on her tone. We get this. You and your
crew really are anti American propagandists and anti truth propagandists.
(19:42):
You just make shokes. Shame on you. Trump is the sexist,
misogynist who repeatedly singles out women for his hatred. Yeah,
and I had that conversation earlier. And yet the chief
of staff is a woman. And yet look how he
empowered his first wife to run his business. Look at
how he has his daughter running his businesses. I mean
(20:09):
strengths and weaknesses. Christy Nome. The cabinet is filled with women.
So you know, I don't think you can go there either.
Just a bad thing to have said. That's it. I
think he just has complete disdain for the media. Yeah,
to be honest, And that was the bigger conversation that
we had, which is, look, the death of journalism isn't
(20:30):
benefiting our republic at all. It's not a right victory,
it's not a left victory. And if the media exposed
doesn't reinvent itself and change, well, expect this type of
matrix fighting to continue. The Epstein bill House passed it,
sent it past it before the House passed it, so
it's going straight to the president. John Decker, our White
(20:51):
House correspondent, is joining us first and foremost, talk quickly.
Will the President sign this today?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I don't know. It's not on its schedule.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
The President has one event on his schedule today. I
don't see any benefit of just holding on to that legislation,
just letting it language. You know now that it's been
sent over to the White House, so it could be today,
it could be tomorrow. There are no events on the
President's schedule tomorrow at all. But I would imagine it
will be signed sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
All right, what can people expect because it's bound? I mean,
there was the big fight over you know, I can
get into Clay Higgins, the one person who voted against
it for rule of law reasons that I have obviously
agreed with. But what will be redacted? Would all will
be included, what will be protected? I mean, do we
really know what we're about to get? Well, we do
(21:39):
to a certain extent.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
We know the language in the legislation that was passed
overwhelmingly by unanimous consent in the Senate, just one vote
against releasing these files. In the House of Representatives, every
other member of the House supporting this legislation, and contained
in the language our provisions as it relates to making
certain that victims are not victimized. Again, so that is
(22:04):
the one provision. So if you see redactions, the redactions
would be referencing victims associated with people that were in
Jeffrey Epstein's orbit during the course of the criminal investigation
into Jeffrey Epstein that was conducted by the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Concern being though, that would be weaponized. And see the
president is now hiding things again, you know that kind
of a thing. There really is nothing in it for
the victims, right, I mean, they never got their day
in court, They couldn't get their justice because the accused
either killed himself or was killed. And so this is
really what to satisfy America's curiosity to give weaponry to
(22:45):
partisan political battles. I mean, what do we expect we're
accomplishing with this? Oh, I think there's more to that.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
You know, I was watching that president yesterday yesterday morning
involving those victims of Jeffrey Epstein and their stories.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know, are are are very sad.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Their stories are are hard to hear, and you know,
for them, this is what they have been seeking and
if it gives them, if it gives them Michael some solace,
I think that that's all that's necessary in terms of
releasing that. I think that's the reason behind the fact
that Marjorie Taylor Green was so supportive of this legislation
from the start and signed your name onto that discharge petition.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
All right, Uh, we've just documented the piggy. What was
the President thinking when he called a reporter piggy?
Speaker 9 (23:36):
I don't know's that's an odd one. You know, I
know every reporter in the White House Press Corps. I
know the reporter that he called piggy. She's a quality reporter.
And you know, I think that was over the line,
completely unnecessary to do that.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
She was asking a question.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
By the way, if you play it, I'm sure you
played it in a very respectful way of what air
force wanted, and the President just simply overreacted in terms
of his reaction.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
To that question.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Now, Mary Bruce, that was a whole other situation. You're
in the White House signing a trillion dollar deal, You've
rolled out the red carpet, and she's trying to soil
the carpet, and you know, she brings up who he
may have killed and the Epstein files, and he just
goes on an ABC tie rate.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
He does.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
You know, Look, I think that Mary Bruce, who again
I know very well, White House correspondent for ABC News.
I think she asked a fair question. You know, people
may differ as to whether or not that was the
time and place for that question. People may differ as
to whether that was the right tone for the question.
But regardless, I thought the question was completely fair. You know,
(24:44):
I don't know if you're aware of this or if
you've mentioned this, Michael, but every Republican senator, literally everyone.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
You can't think of a state in which this is
not the truth.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
Every Republican senator condemned Mohammed bin Salmon in the aftermath
of that CIA conclusion that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
He ordered the killing of that Washington Post reporter.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
Every Republican senator sign on to that resolution coming out
of the US Senate Lindsey Grant, a big ally of President,
called MBS crazy. So that's someone who clearly is a
big supporter of the president, but does not feel comfortable
with the fact that the President is meeting with someone
(25:26):
who was responsible for the death of a journalist just
doing their job.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
This constant battle with the media, I mean, this is
the landscape that has changed over your thirty year tenure.
It's not a victory for any one side. It's a
defeat for the republic. I appreciate a lot of what
the President exposed. I think much of it was already
exposed if people had eyes to see and ears to hear.
But right now it's just becoming dysfunctional. And if nobody
reinvents the level of respect and re instate's credibility and trust,
(25:56):
we're weaker moving forward, not stronger.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Well.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Yeah, I have to have respect for the office of
the President, regardless. I tell this to every reporter, regardless
how you feel about him, and I don't you know
you know me. I don't disclose my thoughts about President Trump,
But regardless of what you think about him, have respect
for that office and have respect for the president, and
he in turn, by the way, will then have respect
for you. And you can ask those tough questions, but
(26:19):
do it in a respectful way. That's what I've always done,
and that's the reason why every president that I've covered
since Bill Clinton has answered my question and done so
without you know, attacking me in any discernible way that
has any lasting impact.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
You can have a bad day. You can have a
bad day, Michael.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You know that.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
But the fact is is that even if you have
a bad day, you come back the next day. The
slate is wiped clean. That's when you have developed a
good relationship with the president.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And I think and I think yesterday might have been
a bad day for the president, but the media has
a lot of bad days against him too. And that's
not making light of it as a hateful email tried
to make a state. We're just calling it like we
see him. But yeah, yesterday, rough day for the president
with the press, that's for sure. Maybe he'll do better today.
All right. You can hear more from John Decker the
White House Briefing Room podcast. It'll be up at nine
(27:07):
eastern eighth Central straight ahead.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
All people who majored in online activism with a minor
and puberty box.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
A little bit.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It's going to work out well. The piggy clip is
a very quick one, and h this was the longer
one with ABC and Mary Bruce. Now you you have
the Crown Prince sitting there, a trillion dollar deal has
been cut, and somebody's gonna bring up somebody he may
or may not have killed in the past. It's always uncomfortable, right,
it's a president.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Why not just do it a Well, it's not the
question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you
are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions.
You start off with a man who's highly respected asking
him able, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you
(28:06):
could even ask that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched.
Somebody psyches you over at ABC and you got.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
To psych it.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. You just
keep going on. The Epstein finles, and what the Epstein
is is a Democrat hoax to try and get me
not to be able to talk about the twenty one
trillion dollars that I talked about today.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
It's a hoax, and people who wise to you a hoax.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
And ABC's your company, your crappy company, is one of
the perpetrators.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I think the license should be taken away from ABC
because your news is so fake.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
And of course the problem with these kinds of things
are the right eats it up and loves it. The
left eats it up and eats it up and loves
it and says, look at this tyrant refusing to ask questions.
Everybody's playing into everybody's game. This, though, this goes beyond
a partisan opposition party politics. This may go right to treason.
(29:15):
Elected Democrats releasing a video encouraging members of the military
to commit treason, I guess promoting to some degree mutiny.
Here's how it sounds.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
I'm Senator Alissa Stockins, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris de Luzio.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Congressman Nie Goodland, You're Representative Chrissy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
I was a captain in the United States.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Navy, former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Former intelligence officer, former Air Force.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
We want to speak directly to members of the military
and the intelligence community to take risks each day to
keep Americans safe.
Speaker 11 (29:52):
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Americans trust their military.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
With that trust as at risk.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
This administer is pitting our uniform, military.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
You all swore an oath to protect and of then
this constitution.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
from a rod, but from right here at home.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You
can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
You must refuse illegal orders. By the way, Scott Jennings
will make the point momentarily, Yeah, there's no illegal orders
ever mentioned in this commercial.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution. We know this is hard and
that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your
back because now more than.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Ever, the American people need you, we need you to
stand up for our laws for Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
So they're not willing to do their jobs and fund
the government, but they are ready to be commander in
chief and call for a mutiny. But nowhere do they
ever mention what illegal order has been given. This came
up with Scott Jennings being a guest on two Way Tonight.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Listen, how is the president pitting the military against American citizens?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
I don't know what they mean by that.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
A B.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
What are the illegal orders? What? What are they talking about?
It's like they live in an alternate reality.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
They live in a movie, they live in a TV
show where something that's they claim is happening is not
actually happening in reality. I don't know what illegal activity
they're talking about, but I do know what illegal activity
they're recommending. And they're trying to get people in the
chain of command to disobey the commander in.
Speaker 12 (31:40):
Chief, which would be a terrible line. But there's saying
there's they don't obate legal orders, which.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Is what I can.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
But I didn't.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
But I didn't, But I didn't hear them advocate breaking
the law.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Well, I mean, I think they're trying to influence members
of the military to you know, start to determine all
orders are illegal orders just because they don't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
That's the way I took it.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
I mean, what are they trying to foment insurrection in
the ranks of the military.
Speaker 12 (32:07):
They're saying, if you're being asked to do something illegal,
you can come forward. But is it out of that
but one example, I'd like to hear an example. But
I don't understand why people are so upset by this. Look,
they're not advocating, They're not advocating anything illegal. I'm not
trying to fight with you, No, you're just because I
like twenty people about this.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Now, just suppose to the core argument that Democrats have
made for ten years about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
This is what I want you to hear. This will
follow up with him tomorrow when he's a guest on
the show. This is the.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
Truth they've never gotten over it.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
He is the legitimately elected president of the United States.
He was in twenty sixteen, he was in twenty twenty four.
He is presently the legitimate commander in chief. But you
have this group of Democrats who have tried to treat
him like an illegitimate president.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Every step of the way for the last decade.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
This is the latest installment in this fantasy that Donald
Trump isn't actually supposed to be able to act as
the president or the commander in chief or whatever. And
so I mean to me, I don't I think this
is going to backfire on them. I think this is
fans service for the fever swamps of the left. But
to the average American it's going to sound crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
And for me, this is where partisan politics has gone
beyond just partisan politics to complete an utter dysfunction. And
it may be walking the line with treason.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
People who major to the minor and puberty bought, they're
a little bit.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Of the deal. It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
When Mary said, let it be done to me according
to your word, she embraced God's plan, even with great uncertainty,
even with risk and sacrifice, and her yes brought Jesus. Today,
countless women face the same mold of decision when they
see their baby on an ultrasound. They're scared, they're unsure,
(34:07):
and their moment to say yes could pass. But you
can make a difference right now because of the generosity
of you our listeners. In giving to Preborn Network clinics,
we can provide immediate and long term support, maternity clothes, diapers, counseling,
so much more, helping thousands of mothers embrace life. Over
(34:29):
three hundred and eight thousand babies have been rescued through
Preborn Oh that ultrasound, that's the game changer. It doubles
their chances of choosing life when they see their baby.
Over three hundred and eight thousand babies have been rescued,
yet thousands more were denied a chance to live this
holiday season. Don't let another life be lost. Be the
(34:49):
hope for the hurting mothers at risk babies. Say yes
to life today. You can donate securely by dialing pound
two to fifty and say baby. That's pound two to fifty,
say the word baby, or visit Preborn forward slash yms
that's preborn dot com forward slash yms. Every gift is
tax deductible, and every gift impacts life and eternity. God
(35:09):
bless you as you give.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Charno.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
The Senate has approved the measure. The Epstein files are
headed to the President.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Senate Minority Leader Chunk Schumer successfully passed unanimous consent, which
means the bill will automatically pass once it is delivered
to the Senate from the House. Senate Majority Leader John
Thune told CNN he expected that to happen Wednesday. On Tuesday,
the House passed the bill to force the DOJ to
release all of the Epstein files by a four hundred
and twenty seven to one vote. President Trump recently said
(35:40):
he'll sign the measure once it passes the Senate.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I'm Markneyfield. President getting a lot of criticism for calling
a female reporter piggy.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
Bloomberg correspondent Katherine Lucy was among a group of reporters
on Air Force One on Friday and was asking Trump
about him being mentioned in the files. Video shows him
telling her quote quiet piggy, before turning to another reporter.
Houses defending Trump and says the reporter quote behaved in
an inappropriate and unprofessional way. Bloomberg is defending its reporter
(36:07):
and says she was simply asking questions without fear or favor.
I'm Tammy TRIHEO.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
It's a big night in Nashville. The fifty ninth Annual

the Mints in Philadelphia and Denver and won twenty four

forty five to fifty thousand dollars. I'm Tammy Trio.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
And that's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del Jorno.
Hi, It's Michael. 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, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:21):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Bill Truman. Were just dat enough coffee this morning,
I tell you, friends, seven minutes after the hour, good
morning and welcome to Wednesday, November the nineteenth. You have
our lord twenty twenty five. Next hour. Well, first, we
had a long civil war within the Democrat Party. Then
(00:53):
it became a hot civil war between the socialists and
the progressives. But now I was like even this socialists
of a little side war together. We're trying to coin
the phrase of what is a socialist to name only
or what is too socialists We're gonna ask David Sanati
if a party divided against itself can survive another division.
(01:14):
We'll do that next hour, Your Sounds the Day, next
half hour, Our Spectacular tomorrow on the show Scott Jennings
you know and love him from Fighting the Democrats on CNN.
He's out with a new book. He'll be joining us tomorrow.
We'll kick around some of these issues of this week.
He's featured in our Sounds of the Day responding to
a group of senators and representatives who recorded a sixty
(01:37):
second commercial for our military. I'll play that for you
next half hour. And the housing market, it's apparently stuck.
Mom and pop stores are being hit by affordability crisis,
and there's a new report on how Americans are planning
to spend the holidays this year. It all adds up
to an economic roundup, and that all adds up to
saying good morning to our national correspondent Roy O'Neil. Good morning,
y hey Michael.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yes, the folks over at READ looking at the October
real estate numbers say the things are pretty much stock.
As you said, the new listings are sort of flat
and the sales are sort of flat. But in large
part because those mortgage rates are still around six and
a quarter percent, and that's keeping a lot of people
a lot of money on the sidelines right now. Technically,
(02:19):
they'll tell you it's a buyer's market because houses are
selling for about a point and a half less than
the asking price that out there, but still the median
sale price, meaning half the home sold for above this amount,
half for below the amount four hundred and forty thousand
dollars in October, saying I mean a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That's everywhere average to get SAE, so anywhere desirable. We're
getting close to a million is the new four hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Thousand, right And this thing's got up so fast, and
obviously wages aren't keeping track and pace, and all the
other expenses related to managing and keeping that house are
also getting very expensive, which is why this affordability issue
keeps on coming up.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know, I think of a job my dad got
in nineteen eighty and at the time it was I
remember it being like a big deal. It was. It
was a two year deal at an NBC station in Chicago,
and it's like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
two years, and it seemed like a lot of money,
and then you know, we get older and then we
make that much or whatever, and we think we're better
(03:22):
than our dad. So I just threw it into the Google.
What one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year
would be equivalent today? And do you know? It was
almost six hundred thousand dollars? Wow? Before you know? So
I was because I remember looking back and I'm going,
there's no way I couldn't run one house. My dad
had a place in Chicago, bus in New Orleans, and
(03:45):
I'm like, how did he do that? Well, one hundred
and twenty five thousand went a long way back then,
a lot further than it goes today. So yeah, houses,
that house we were living in that was ninety five
thousand dollars is probably six hundred thousand dollars today. That's
why you can't pull that up. We all know what
the problem is, the interest rates, and we all know
that they haven't been lowered. Mortgage rates don't go along
with interest rates, but they tend to always precede each other,
(04:09):
things like fifty year mortgage. I'm not a fan of
things like transferable mortgage rates, which you just simply can't
impose that on the contract with a bank. I don't
think anybody's quite figured out how to get the inventory
loosened up.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Well, it's a supply issue, right, and we're also not
building enough for those entry level homes. And you know,
the federal government can pound the table and say all
it wants to, but you know, home construction really is
a local issue. It's a local cities and towns deciding
where communities can be built. And that's where we need
to shake the tree and get this thing going.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
All right. I know we're almost out of time, But
if inventory is a solution for housing and rates coming down,
the affordability crisis, I think that's energy, right, That's how
all this stuff gets to these mom and pop stores.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, that's a big part of the equation. You know,
gas prices are about where they were a year ago.
Many people will say their electric bills have gotten much
higher in the past few years. I'm not blaming the
Trump administration, just saying in general that they've seen a
sharp increase in their electric rates over the past decade,
and that again, those are some of the bills that
really hit these small businesses particularly hard as they operate
(05:18):
on some very thin margins.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And I don't know where how we plan to spend
the holiday fits into all this.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But uh, well, you know, wallet ub random numbers and said,
depending on your city, what the debt to income ratio
is the average aid And still they set what your
holiday budget.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Should be by city. So what city do you want
me to look up with?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
They did one hundred and fifties, five hundred and fifty cities,
so India city.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I'm okay, I'm gonna favorite Saint Louis, Missouri. Oh I
went with Nashville first.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Okay, Yeah, Saint Louis four hundred and thirty five on
the list, saying their their their holiday budget should be
just over one thousand dollars. I think Nashville, as it
went past my eyes roughly about the same. For more
than thirty four on the list should be spending about
one thy sixteen dollars should be your budget for all
the parties for a household per household.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm going to propose that at our next family meeting,
but I don't think I got my post. See, so translation,
we're now putting an exact dollar amount on how we
overspend every holiday. Well, thanks, for that. Now there is
an affordability crisis. We're he's going to be back in
the third hour of the Trump administration beginning the process
of dismantling the Department of Education. Rory's got that story
in our third hour. Great reporting as always, Rory. Right,
(06:31):
let me give you the background on a big portion
of what today is beyond the Epstein issues. All right,
so look, for the longest time, I'm just really quick,
so anybody that's here heard this a lot, don't feel
a need to run away. For the longest time, there's
been a fight within the Democrat Party. Justice Socialist Democrats
began a movement. Their goal is to take over the
(06:54):
Democrat Party. When we get to midterm elections, it's primary season.
Keep an eye on them. They go at AOC is
a great example. AOC ran and took out of office
a ten term Democrat because their plan was to first
take over the Democrat Party. Then they're gonna get rid
(07:16):
of the Electoral College, and they're going to dismantle the Republic.
So here's this socialist movement. Then somewhere along the way,
with enough distance from nine to eleven, you start getting
an Islamist movement within the socialist movement. Mam Donnie, of
course is the epitome of that, but so are many
in the squad, especially for Minneapolis. Now, Mom Donnie, you
(07:42):
have the mayor's race in Seattle, Los Angeles coming up,
and now you have a socialist getting ready to target
Hakeem Jeffries, after which one socialist, Mom Donnie, told him,
don't do it. Why. My best guess is it was
a deal cut with Hakim Jeffries trying to get his endorsement.
(08:06):
My second guess is, we don't need too many of
us doing this at once, or we don't need weaker
socialist candidates making strong moves in Congress while our strongest
socialist AOC is taking over the mantle of Bernie Sanders.
You need to chill a little bit. Whatever the reason
(08:27):
you have, Mom Donnie telling Chiassi don't run against Takiem Jeffries,
Chiassi says, I'm running against Akiem Jeffries two, which, now
AOC quickly distances herself. So in some sort of socialist
breach of etiquette, because one socialist didn't obey another socialist demand,
(08:49):
a third socialist well back the progressive, not the socialist.
And so when we started our conversation this morning, We're like, okay,
they're like degrees of socialists. Now, there was always degrees
of democrats, right, there were socialist Democrats, Progressive Democrats, Establsmate Democrats,
Breacan Democrats. But now do we have like degrees socialists.
(09:17):
That's why when we talked to David Sanati, the real
question is can a party divide it against itself survive
even further divisions. We'll just have course banquet and in
course light. Now you got I don't know, banquet light.
(09:40):
All these degrees of socialism, is there only room for
so many socialists at the table? They do they not
want a mad rush like a land rush, too many
socialist primary challenges because the Progressive Democrats to actually win
because you'll divide this socialist vote or the youth vote.
(10:04):
Maybe it's AOC doesn't want anybody. I mean that would
be Now you have Chiassi, who is no mom Donnie
or no official socialist brand approved running to take out
the Democrat head in the House, while she's running to
take out the Democrat head in the Senate. Although I'm
(10:25):
thoroughly convinced AOC is going to run for president and
she'll be in the lead midway through the primary. There's
a lot of jockey in going on here now. Meanwhile,
in the midst of that, so this is where I
got to flip Gregory and make the world go away.
In the midst of all this degrees of socialist and
(10:48):
socialist Mom Donnie approved versus not approved, or AOC and
Bernie Sanders approved versus not approved. The New York City
mayor who's upset with Chiasi for not listening to him
out running against the king, Jeffries is supporting someone everyone's
told him to distance himself from. A Palestinian candidate to
take his place in the Assembly who once said white
(11:19):
supremacy and America was to blame for nine to eleven.
Say a loo to Palestinian Abercuross. Remember when we said
from the very beginning socialist, that's nothing. But somebody point
blank asked Zoran Mom Donnie, I think we get the
(11:41):
picture from his father and mother and from some of
his quotes. Are you an Islamist, never mind socialist, because
he's clearly wanting his seat in the state legislature to
be taken by an Islamist. As his Islamist seat sits
(12:04):
down in the Mayor's office of our largest city. Mam
Donnie made his remarks. His outgoing may elect Eric Adams
met with net Yahoo and encouraged him to attend Mam
Donnie's upcoming inauguration, and Mom Donnie's remarks were, he doubled down.
(12:25):
If he be net Yahoo comes to New York, he
will have him arrested for war crimes. Meanwhile, he doubles
down on his support for aberkaas I don't know, hates Israel,
hates Jews, wants to arrest net Nyaho, wants to replace
(12:49):
his seat in the legislature with an anti American who
believes white supremacy and Americans are responsible for nine to eleven,
supporting an Islamist as an Islamist against Israel and potentially
probably as an Islamist against the American way of life
as well. What are we putting in office? And what
(13:15):
kind of chaos lies ahead in the new year? Make
the war way? I can't do it like you kin.
Do doctors have Black Friday sales? Well, the doctors at
Brickhouse Nutrition do. They just announced their Black Friday thirty
percent off sale. It's the biggest sale of the year,
the most impressive health and nutrition products in the industry
(13:37):
are now thirty percent off at Brickhousesale dot Com. Products
like we Love Lean, the doctor formulated weight loss supplement
for people who want to lose meaningful weight and keep
it off without injections, thirty percent off Creatone creating designed
just for women to help you look leaner, in shape
and tone. Even thirty percent off my favorite Field of Greens,
the only superfruit and vegetable drink shown in university study
(14:00):
to actually slow aging, and only Field of Greens promises
better health results. Your doctor will notice every brick house
product from Better Sleep to Superior College and thirty percent
off at brickhouse Sale dot com. But hurry these Black
Friday sales they go fast. I'm stocking up on Lean.
I'm doing some stocking stuffers for my kids who steal
(14:20):
my Lean, and you should do the day to do
the same during the thirty percent off. That's Brickhousesale dot Com.
One more time, brickhouse Sale dot Com.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
The Jeffrey Epstein files will be released as soon as
the President signs and releases them. I don't know what
it does for the victims. But it does a lot
for American's curiosity for partisan, polarized media and politicians on
both sides to use as a weapon. But here we go.
In the release of the files, the President facing some
criticism for calling one female reporter a piggy. He also
(14:57):
attacked an ABC reporter in the White House for her
tone and questions in front of the Saudi Well, we're
finishing up a trillion dollar deal with the Saudis and
she's bringing up what we killed. It was an uncomfortable moment.
And of course we'd love to have your morning show
with your voice, So I'm gonna start with Bill and Tampa.
That makes sense to you. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
As far as the Epstein files go, this is ridiculous.
These poor victims are never going to see any justice
from the atrocities that they suffered at the hand of
the one percent. This is just a political football. It's
a distraction. We should be talking about bringing fuel prices
down and the economy and the things that actually matter
(15:42):
to the American people.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm so disgusted. Yeah, and that's something the President was
trying to do. But everybody wanted the new shiny toy,
and they claimed he was hiding something by doing that,
and so you got your shiny toy or is it
a bomb about to go off? Russ and Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I'm thinking maybe he called her piggy because she was
trying to hog theod time from the legitimate reporters of
what was going on for our own personal agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Uh, that's a that's up there with Jeffreys. Jeffries was
I think her name was Peggy and he meant to
say Peggy and said piggy. Now her name was Catherine,
and she's not a piggy. She's actually very thin, which
is why I came up with a theory. Maybe he
was trying to say twiggy and said piggy. I hate
it when I can't read my own writing. It's Youngstown
and I don't know why I can't. I cannot make
(16:32):
out my own handwriting. What John, Uh, it looks like
Lackey or Laurie, Laurie and your lor in Youngstown. Hi, Michael,
how many questions did she ask?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Was she being a piggy because she was trying to
ask too many questions?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's just my thought, And you guys are coming up
with theories. So both the President may or may not
have met Joe Wee in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Mike, I think that AOC is not very intelligent as
far as making wise decisions, but she's very cunning, and
there's a big difference between wisdom and cunning.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
She's slick as can be, and she knows how to
get up through there. That's a powerful point. AOC, by
the way, graduated Kumlatti from Boston University in twenty eleven,
earning a Bachelor's of Arts degree in international relations and economics.
During her time in college, she also interned for US
Senator Ted Kennedy, focusing on foreign affairs and immigration issues.
(17:32):
Don't think of her just as a goofball bartender. Now,
she's smart.
Speaker 4 (17:38):

get your talkbacks in a moment, also Sounds of the
Day in minutes. Trump is facing some criticism for calling
a female reporter piggy. I'm not making fun. I think
(18:30):
that that is a most inappropriate thing to have done.
There are people now in the talkbacks defending him. Well,
they attack him every day. You know, everybody has a
breaking point. It's still wrong. Nobody's saying it's right. We
were having fun with that. Jeffrey, trying to defend the president, said,
I saw an ex that her name just what I saw.
(18:51):
I was just reporting, I said, And I did see.
Her name was Peggy. And he's saying Peggy, not piggy.
I had not ranted up the red flag pole. And
of course her name is Catherine, and that's nowhere near that.
And then Red chimes in, and by the way, she's
not overweight at all. In fact, she's very thin, to
which I came up with maybe he meant to say
twiggy instead of people, but we're all just joking. Of
(19:13):
course it's inappropriate. As far as the other reporter from ABC,
Mary Bruce, you know, he's got a trillion dollar deal,
he's sitting at the White House. You bring up somebody
he may or may not have killed. So he just
harped on her tone. We get this. You and your
crew really are anti American propagandists and anti truth propagandists.
(19:42):
You just make shokes. Shame on you. Trump is the sexist,
misogynist who repeatedly singles out women for his hatred. Yeah,
and I had that conversation earlier. And yet the chief
of staff is a woman. And yet look how he
empowered his first wife to run his business. Look at
how he has his daughter running his businesses. I mean
(20:09):
strengths and weaknesses. Christy Nome. The cabinet is filled with women.
So you know, I don't think you can go there either.
Just a bad thing to have said. That's it. I
think he just has complete disdain for the media. Yeah,
to be honest, And that was the bigger conversation that
we had, which is, look, the death of journalism isn't
(20:30):
benefiting our republic at all. It's not a right victory,
it's not a left victory. And if the media exposed
doesn't reinvent itself and change, well, expect this type of
matrix fighting to continue. The Epstein bill House passed it,
sent it past it before the House passed it, so
it's going straight to the president. John Decker, our White
(20:51):
House correspondent, is joining us first and foremost, talk quickly.
Will the President sign this today?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I don't know. It's not on its schedule.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
The President has one event on his schedule today. I
don't see any benefit of just holding on to that legislation,
just letting it language. You know now that it's been
sent over to the White House, so it could be today,
it could be tomorrow. There are no events on the
President's schedule tomorrow at all. But I would imagine it
will be signed sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
All right, what can people expect because it's bound? I mean,
there was the big fight over you know, I can
get into Clay Higgins, the one person who voted against
it for rule of law reasons that I have obviously
agreed with. But what will be redacted? Would all will
be included, what will be protected? I mean, do we
really know what we're about to get? Well, we do
(21:39):
to a certain extent.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
We know the language in the legislation that was passed
overwhelmingly by unanimous consent in the Senate, just one vote
against releasing these files. In the House of Representatives, every
other member of the House supporting this legislation, and contained
in the language our provisions as it relates to making
certain that victims are not victimized. Again, so that is
(22:04):
the one provision. So if you see redactions, the redactions
would be referencing victims associated with people that were in
Jeffrey Epstein's orbit during the course of the criminal investigation
into Jeffrey Epstein that was conducted by the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Concern being though, that would be weaponized. And see the
president is now hiding things again, you know that kind
of a thing. There really is nothing in it for
the victims, right, I mean, they never got their day
in court, They couldn't get their justice because the accused
either killed himself or was killed. And so this is
really what to satisfy America's curiosity to give weaponry to
(22:45):
partisan political battles. I mean, what do we expect we're
accomplishing with this? Oh, I think there's more to that.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
You know, I was watching that president yesterday yesterday morning
involving those victims of Jeffrey Epstein and their stories.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know, are are are very sad.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Their stories are are hard to hear, and you know,
for them, this is what they have been seeking and
if it gives them, if it gives them Michael some solace,
I think that that's all that's necessary in terms of
releasing that. I think that's the reason behind the fact
that Marjorie Taylor Green was so supportive of this legislation
from the start and signed your name onto that discharge petition.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
All right, Uh, we've just documented the piggy. What was
the President thinking when he called a reporter piggy?
Speaker 9 (23:36):
I don't know's that's an odd one. You know, I
know every reporter in the White House Press Corps. I
know the reporter that he called piggy. She's a quality reporter.
And you know, I think that was over the line,
completely unnecessary to do that.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
She was asking a question.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
By the way, if you play it, I'm sure you
played it in a very respectful way of what air
force wanted, and the President just simply overreacted in terms
of his reaction.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
To that question.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Now, Mary Bruce, that was a whole other situation. You're
in the White House signing a trillion dollar deal, You've
rolled out the red carpet, and she's trying to soil
the carpet, and you know, she brings up who he
may have killed and the Epstein files, and he just
goes on an ABC tie rate.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
He does.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
You know, Look, I think that Mary Bruce, who again
I know very well, White House correspondent for ABC News.
I think she asked a fair question. You know, people
may differ as to whether or not that was the
time and place for that question. People may differ as
to whether that was the right tone for the question.
But regardless, I thought the question was completely fair. You know,
(24:44):
I don't know if you're aware of this or if
you've mentioned this, Michael, but every Republican senator, literally everyone.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
You can't think of a state in which this is
not the truth.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
Every Republican senator condemned Mohammed bin Salmon in the aftermath
of that CIA conclusion that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
He ordered the killing of that Washington Post reporter.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
Every Republican senator sign on to that resolution coming out
of the US Senate Lindsey Grant, a big ally of President,
called MBS crazy. So that's someone who clearly is a
big supporter of the president, but does not feel comfortable
with the fact that the President is meeting with someone
(25:26):
who was responsible for the death of a journalist just
doing their job.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
This constant battle with the media, I mean, this is
the landscape that has changed over your thirty year tenure.
It's not a victory for any one side. It's a
defeat for the republic. I appreciate a lot of what
the President exposed. I think much of it was already
exposed if people had eyes to see and ears to hear.
But right now it's just becoming dysfunctional. And if nobody
reinvents the level of respect and re instate's credibility and trust,
(25:56):
we're weaker moving forward, not stronger.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
Well.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Yeah, I have to have respect for the office of
the President, regardless. I tell this to every reporter, regardless
how you feel about him, and I don't you know
you know me. I don't disclose my thoughts about President Trump,
But regardless of what you think about him, have respect
for that office and have respect for the president, and
he in turn, by the way, will then have respect
for you. And you can ask those tough questions, but
(26:19):
do it in a respectful way. That's what I've always done,
and that's the reason why every president that I've covered
since Bill Clinton has answered my question and done so
without you know, attacking me in any discernible way that
has any lasting impact.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
You can have a bad day. You can have a
bad day, Michael.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You know that.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
But the fact is is that even if you have
a bad day, you come back the next day. The
slate is wiped clean. That's when you have developed a
good relationship with the president.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And I think and I think yesterday might have been
a bad day for the president, but the media has
a lot of bad days against him too. And that's
not making light of it as a hateful email tried
to make a state. We're just calling it like we
see him. But yeah, yesterday, rough day for the president
with the press, that's for sure. Maybe he'll do better today.
All right. You can hear more from John Decker the
White House Briefing Room podcast. It'll be up at nine
(27:07):
eastern eighth Central straight ahead.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
All people who majored in online activism with a minor
and puberty box.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
A little bit.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It's going to work out well. The piggy clip is
a very quick one, and h this was the longer
one with ABC and Mary Bruce. Now you you have
the Crown Prince sitting there, a trillion dollar deal has
been cut, and somebody's gonna bring up somebody he may
or may not have killed in the past. It's always uncomfortable, right,
it's a president.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Why not just do it a Well, it's not the
question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you
are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions.
You start off with a man who's highly respected asking
him able, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you
(28:06):
could even ask that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched.
Somebody psyches you over at ABC and you got.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
To psych it.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. You just
keep going on. The Epstein finles, and what the Epstein
is is a Democrat hoax to try and get me
not to be able to talk about the twenty one
trillion dollars that I talked about today.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
It's a hoax, and people who wise to you a hoax.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
And ABC's your company, your crappy company, is one of
the perpetrators.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I think the license should be taken away from ABC
because your news is so fake.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
And of course the problem with these kinds of things
are the right eats it up and loves it. The
left eats it up and eats it up and loves
it and says, look at this tyrant refusing to ask questions.
Everybody's playing into everybody's game. This, though, this goes beyond
a partisan opposition party politics. This may go right to treason.
(29:15):
Elected Democrats releasing a video encouraging members of the military
to commit treason, I guess promoting to some degree mutiny.
Here's how it sounds.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
I'm Senator Alissa Stockins, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris de Luzio.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Congressman Nie Goodland, You're Representative Chrissy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
I was a captain in the United States.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Navy, former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Former intelligence officer, former Air Force.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
We want to speak directly to members of the military
and the intelligence community to take risks each day to
keep Americans safe.
Speaker 11 (29:52):
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Americans trust their military.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
With that trust as at risk.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
This administer is pitting our uniform, military.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
You all swore an oath to protect and of then
this constitution.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
from a rod, but from right here at home.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You
can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
You must refuse illegal orders. By the way, Scott Jennings
will make the point momentarily, Yeah, there's no illegal orders
ever mentioned in this commercial.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution. We know this is hard and
that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your
back because now more than.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Ever, the American people need you, we need you to
stand up for our laws for Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
So they're not willing to do their jobs and fund
the government, but they are ready to be commander in
chief and call for a mutiny. But nowhere do they
ever mention what illegal order has been given. This came
up with Scott Jennings being a guest on two Way Tonight.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Listen, how is the president pitting the military against American citizens?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
I don't know what they mean by that.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
A B.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
What are the illegal orders? What? What are they talking about?
It's like they live in an alternate reality.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
They live in a movie, they live in a TV
show where something that's they claim is happening is not
actually happening in reality. I don't know what illegal activity
they're talking about, but I do know what illegal activity
they're recommending. And they're trying to get people in the
chain of command to disobey the commander in.
Speaker 12 (31:40):
Chief, which would be a terrible line. But there's saying
there's they don't obate legal orders, which.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Is what I can.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
But I didn't.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
But I didn't, But I didn't hear them advocate breaking
the law.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Well, I mean, I think they're trying to influence members
of the military to you know, start to determine all
orders are illegal orders just because they don't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
That's the way I took it.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
I mean, what are they trying to foment insurrection in
the ranks of the military.
Speaker 12 (32:07):
They're saying, if you're being asked to do something illegal,
you can come forward. But is it out of that
but one example, I'd like to hear an example. But
I don't understand why people are so upset by this. Look,
they're not advocating, They're not advocating anything illegal. I'm not
trying to fight with you, No, you're just because I
like twenty people about this.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Now, just suppose to the core argument that Democrats have
made for ten years about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
This is what I want you to hear. This will
follow up with him tomorrow when he's a guest on
the show. This is the.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
Truth they've never gotten over it.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
He is the legitimately elected president of the United States.
He was in twenty sixteen, he was in twenty twenty four.
He is presently the legitimate commander in chief. But you
have this group of Democrats who have tried to treat
him like an illegitimate president.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Every step of the way for the last decade.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
This is the latest installment in this fantasy that Donald
Trump isn't actually supposed to be able to act as
the president or the commander in chief or whatever. And
so I mean to me, I don't I think this
is going to backfire on them. I think this is
fans service for the fever swamps of the left. But
to the average American it's going to sound crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
And for me, this is where partisan politics has gone
beyond just partisan politics to complete an utter dysfunction. And
it may be walking the line with treason.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
People who major to the minor and puberty bought, they're
a little bit.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Of the deal. It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
When Mary said, let it be done to me according
to your word, she embraced God's plan, even with great uncertainty,
even with risk and sacrifice, and her yes brought Jesus. Today,
countless women face the same mold of decision when they
see their baby on an ultrasound. They're scared, they're unsure,
(34:07):
and their moment to say yes could pass. But you
can make a difference right now because of the generosity
of you our listeners. In giving to Preborn Network clinics,
we can provide immediate and long term support, maternity clothes, diapers, counseling,
so much more, helping thousands of mothers embrace life. Over

their chances of choosing life when they see their baby.
Over three hundred and eight thousand babies have been rescued,

The Senate has approved the measure. The Epstein files are
headed to the President.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Senate Minority Leader Chunk Schumer successfully passed unanimous consent, which
means the bill will automatically pass once it is delivered
to the Senate from the House. Senate Majority Leader John
Thune told CNN he expected that to happen Wednesday. On Tuesday,
the House passed the bill to force the DOJ to
release all of the Epstein files by a four hundred
and twenty seven to one vote. President Trump recently said
(35:40):
he'll sign the measure once it passes the Senate.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I'm Markneyfield. President getting a lot of criticism for calling
a female reporter piggy.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
Bloomberg correspondent Katherine Lucy was among a group of reporters
on Air Force One on Friday and was asking Trump
about him being mentioned in the files. Video shows him
telling her quote quiet piggy, before turning to another reporter.
Houses defending Trump and says the reporter quote behaved in
an inappropriate and unprofessional way. Bloomberg is defending its reporter
(36:07):
and says she was simply asking questions without fear or favor.
I'm Tammy TRIHEO.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
