Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Delgornia, Marty and I am thrilled to be able to
keep Michael's seat.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Warm, which sounds actually kind of gross. I'm sorry about that.
I think need to I'm grossed to us too.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I didn't mean to put that image in your head.
I apologize.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I'm coming to you.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Live from Phoenix, Arizona today, and except for tomorrow, I'll
be back on Friday, and then Michael is back on Monday, so.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You get your guy back. I wanted to start.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Off this morning with President Biden announcing a ceasefire deal
between Israel and HESBLA.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Jeff, you can play that sound.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
For me, It was I had the wrong pot up there.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Sorry about that? Oh well fine.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Under the deal reached today, effective at.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Four a m.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Tomorrow local time.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
Fighting across the Lebanese Israeli border will end will end well.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
He said.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
The deal was reached with help from France, ending the
fighting in Lebanon. The Iran backed militant group has been
fighting with Israel within Lebanon since the Hamas attack. Just
you know, you're gonna might want to take notes here
since Hamas different terrorist organization attack to Israel on October
seventh of last year. Now, it probably is not going
(01:57):
to affect the Israel Hamas war that's been going on
in Gaza, but it does get Iran off of Israel,
which is smart and is a good deal. Now, how
much of this was between France and President Biden and
Hesbelah and how much of this was Hesbela and Iran
perhaps getting nervous because come January we're going to have
(02:21):
somebody different in the White House. I think that they're
they're very concerned about President Trump because they don't much
like you and I. We don't know what he's going
to do, right, And that's one of one of his
strengths perhaps is that he makes everybody a little bit
nervous and he has his finger on the button, as
(02:45):
it were. Now, this ceasefire so far is holding, and
that's good because you know, you talk about the wider picture,
which is you know, Hesbelah, which is Iran backed and Israel.
They're kind of harrying Israel after the attack on Israel
by Hamas keeping them from just going in and putting
(03:06):
everything onto Hamas. It was a kind of a terrorist trifecta, right,
two on one. Now it's not. Now Hamas is going
to have to handle this on its own. And I
don't think Hamas has the stomach for it, because I
don't think the people have the stomach for it.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
We looked at.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
These countries as you know, terrorist states or whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
They're just people like us.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The people who are living in Lebanon right now, they
don't want to get bombed. They don't want this nonsense
going on. They're sick of people getting killed because you
have these powers who are ruling your life and you
don't want that to happen. You're sick of trying to
figure out is Grandma going to be okay in her house?
(03:56):
So perhaps this deal will at least put some of
the pressure, take some of the pressure off of Israel
and let them deal with the Hamas situation in Gaza.
Now Hamas was elected in Gaza, so the people put
Hamas in power, and now the people are feeling the heat.
(04:17):
This deal involves Israeli forces taking withdrawing from Lebanon for
over six over the course of sixty days, with the
Lebanese Army taking control of territory in the south of
the country, trying to ensure that Hesboala does not rebuild
its forces, thus starting the whole thing over again. Now
you know, did Biden have something to do with the negotiations.
(04:40):
Of course he did, He's the United States president, or
at least his people did. I don't know if Biden
had that much to do with it. Oh come on, man,
come on man. So this you know, yes, he gets
the credit for it. But I honestly think that it
is nerves over Trump that have people on that they're
(05:04):
on alert in the Middle East. They're going, m we
don't really know what's going to happen, and they're correct,
they don't. None of us really knows exactly how this
is going to go. Do I think that he's going
to nuke somebody? No, I don't. I've never believed that
he's kind of that slap happy guy that some in
(05:24):
the media would probably portray him as there has been
celebration in Beirut that you even have people who are saying,
I want to go home now, and they're going home now,
and do you blame them?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
They've been run.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Out of their homes by a terrorist organization that decided
to pick a fight with a bigger dog.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And it's weird.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
To say that Israel, but the tiny little country in
the Middle East, is the bigger dog. But it is
with Benjamin Netanyahoo at the in the lead. Israel is
a power to be dealt with. And this was it's
an unwinnable fight because the rest of the world, even
(06:04):
though there is a lot of infighting over Israel and
its rights and what it should be doing, especially around
Gaza et cetera, people still back and countries still back Israel.
It is the only democracy that you have there. It's
the only one. There has to be peace in the
(06:26):
Middle East, And I don't know, after thousands of years,
do we think that it's ever gonna happen, because I
wonder if it's ever gonna happen. The Middle East has
always been just a hot bed of it's a hot mess.
All I know is that people get to go home,
and that makes me feel good for those people who
(06:47):
have been run out, who have been bombed, who have
lost family members.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Is this going to be challenging? Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Is Hezbola going to go gently into that good night?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
And neither is Theran.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And Iran is the backer of Hesbela, and Iran wants
to pick fights everywhere it can't. But Iran is a
major issue for us, and it's going to be a
major issue for President Trump whenever he gets into office.
Iran is a problem and we have to figure out
how to deal with it. So I don't have a
(07:22):
lot of hope there, But there's a smidge, just a smidge,
because if you can get the ceasefire with Hesbola, can
you get a ceasefire with Hamas? Can you get Hamas
to stop, to release those hostages who are still alive,
to release the bodies of those who are not alive,
and let everybody just move on with their lives. Get
(07:46):
I grow tired of war. I grow tired of conflict.
I think we all do. We get older and we
just go, oh, can you just leave us alone and
let us live our lives the way that we want to.
It's your more morning show. It is twelve minutes after
the hour. It's Loadonna Harvey and for Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Thanksgiving is almost here. I don't think I'm telling you
anything that you don't know yet. And there are still
travelers who are out there trying to get where.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
They're going this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
There are more than two hundred and twenty flights delayed,
less than twenty cancelations though across the country. That's according
to fly to where TSA, advising you get to that
airport at least two hours early. I almost I have
almost never done that. I mean, even on an international flight,
I'm there about an hour before.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I just I'm going to get through it. It's fine,
it's fine. I have done both.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I have had to run through the terminal and then
I have been there with plenty of time to where.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I could take a nap.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I did a stint coming back from London. I don't
know if I've mentioned this My boyfriend lives in London,
and he is he owns his own guitar brand. He's
a luthier. He makes guitars. Yes, I pick rich ones everybody,
but he is just a He is a fantastic human
being and just a great guy. And he owns this
(09:11):
guitar company called Feline Guitars. He makes wonderful instruments. Total accident.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
In one of these.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Days, I'll explain how it is that I met him.
But we got to Heathrow three hours before because there
had been flight delays and we knew it, and we
actually got there on time. Actually what we did is
there is a terminal five, and he throw, I'm gonna
let you in on a little secret. There's a sofa
tel there, and so the night before I travel home,
we stay in the soap hotel.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Oh so I just go directly from the hotel.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I toddle my little self right on down to Heathrow
Terminal five and I get on my British Airways flight.
But we knew that there were going to be problems,
and so it was like, okay, well you know, we'll
get We'll get in there three hours early. I barely
made the plane after getting there three hours early. I
was running to the gate, which was of course the
(10:02):
last one at Heathrow, and Heathrow is huge, Yes, Terminal
five is huge. They were waiting for me at the
door and they were like, you.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Need to run faster. I'm like, I'm fat and I'm old.
I can't. I cannot run any faster.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So yeah, that was That was one of the times
that I actually got there early and still almost missed
my flight, which would have been an absolute drag. But
you know what, You're going to run into a lot
of people and they're probably feeling snitty, and some of them,
you know, decided to put the cranberry sauce in their
carry on and that was a dumb thing to do.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And so you're just going to run into those issues.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Pack your patience. I know, I hate I hate me
right now. I hate me. You don't even have to bother. Okay, okay,
all right. So progressive lawmakers urging President Biden to make
a move on marijuana legislation before his term comes to
an end in January. Our good friend Brian Shook has
that story.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
A group of Democrats I wrote a letter calling on
the White House to move marijuana from a Schedule one
to a Scheduled two controlled substance. This would classify the
drug in a less severe category, but it would not
end federal criminal criminalization or resolve its harms. According to
the letter, I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
You know it's interesting living in California where marijuana is
legal ish you know, it's still federally illegal, but living
in California where marijuana is legal, also in Arizona where
it's legal.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I am.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I am not one of those people who is anti
drug and I don't do drugs.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I don't. I don't like them.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I you know, I like the occasional glass of whiskey,
and I do love my wine, but I only you know,
it's I only drink like on the weekends. Even if
I can, I be if I can be bothered, which
lately I haven't had the time it. But I think
that the war on drugs is lost.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It is lost.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Let it go, and people are going to do what
they're gonna do, and we have to let them do
what they're gonna do if they're gonna but we have
to also hold them accountable if they are going to
be junked out on drugs well, that's fine, but you
have to be over next to people like you, because
I don't want you in my neighborhood. I don't want
you shooting up on my street. But go over there
(12:20):
and do it where you can do no harm, and
that's fine. The war on drugs has been an absolute
disaster and it is ridiculous to go after people over pot.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
It's a plant. Let it go.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Just let it go, and concentrate on something that if
you throw billions of dollars at you'll actually fix it.
Because coming from me, and I have two family members.
I have a stepbrother and a brother who are both
got into big trouble over meth My brother still does
methamphetamine and it's and he is an awful person when
(12:54):
he's on it. And my stepbrother actually had to spend
some time in prison over it. So you know, I'm
not unclear as to the damage that drugs do. I
know that they kill, I know that they do all
of those things, and I also know that you can't
stop people from doing what they want to do. It
doesn't legal illegal, It doesn't matter to them now, and
(13:17):
it won't matter to them if it's legal.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It's just not. We have lost the war on drugs?
That is it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I don't see a way forward where we can actually
stop people from doing drugs.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
And it's terrible and it's awful.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
But throwing them in jail for it has not fixed
the problem. We've got fentanyl coming over our borders in
by the bail and people are still doing it.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It is.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It is lost. So what can we do to contain it?
That's the question that I have. Can we contain it
and take the billions and billions of dollars we've spent
on this war that is never going to end and
do something positive with it. Can we take that money
and put it into rehab centers and programs that allow
(14:12):
people to get off drugs. I believe that drugs are
a huge driver of homelessness, not among seniors. That's that's
a poverty issue, and that's a completely different issue. But
if we weren't fighting the war on drugs, could we
give seniors more money? Could we make social security something
that these seniors can actually live on? If we were
not spending that money on the war on drugs, could
(14:35):
we actually help people? That's my question, and please feel
free to weigh in. I know that there are a
lot of people who perhaps have drugs in their past.
And you might disagree with me, and that's fine. It's
a conversation that we've needed to have for a long time.
We are on the air and everywhere on that free
iHeartRadio app, and we cannot have your morning show without
your voice eight hundred and six eight eight nine, five
(14:58):
two to two, and you can talk back to us
on that free iHeartRadio app. Do you think that the
war on drugs as it stands can be won? Do
you think that marijuana should be classified the way that
it is because so far.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
What we're doing is not working. It's just not working.
How do we fix it?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And maybe those are some questions for President Trump? I
you know, I don't know. I know that he's a teetotaler.
He doesn't he doesn't dabble in any of the nonsense,
and I don't blame him, and I don't think it's
good for you. I'm not saying that I'm pro drug
I'm just saying that I'm anti shove money into a
place that you're never going to get it back.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Hey, this is Lee Murphy in Cottontown, Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
As they're clean. Just be nice. Oh you know what,
I don't care if you're nice. It's fine. We have
a bleep button.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Go right ahead, Just have at it, man, have at it.
Just let the spleen go. It's fine. You know. One
of the enduring mysteries of my childhood was the dB
Cooper hijacking. It was from nineteen seventy one, and it
was the most mysterious thing that I could imagine.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Had ever happened.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Now, keep in mind, I was born in sixty six,
so I was very young when it happened.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
But for years, you know, the FBI.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Was trying to find this guy hijacked a plane, wanted
the money to parachuted out of the plane with the money.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
And now it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Looks like, you know, we've had a prime suspect for
a while, and it looks like they might have his parachute.
The children of the prime suspect in the dB Cooper
hijacking have turned over a log book and a parachute
that they found on their property.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Brad Ford has that story for US podcaster.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Dan Grinder is a dB Cooper investigator. He says the
children of Richard McCoy the second waited until their mother
passed away before coming forward so she wouldn't be charged.
McCoy died in a police shooting following a similar hijacking
over Utah. The parachute and logbook were turned over to
the FBI and they stopped investigating the case in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I'm brad Ford, that was.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
One of the strangest story, you know, when you have
those miss serious stories like the disappearance of Amelia Earhart
and the dB Cooper hijacking. The FBI got involved after
claims from the kids. They said that they had closed
the investigation in twenty twenty three, but apparently took evidence
(18:19):
the parachute from these kids who say their dad was
the hijacker, and he bought a plane ticket under a
fake named Dan Cooper, threatened to blow up the aircraft
unless his demands were met. This was back in nineteen
seventy one.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Bought a Northwest Orient Airlines flight. How about that.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
There's a name that I don't even remember hearing at all,
and wanted two hundred thousand dollars in twenty dollar bills,
And you're thinking two hundred thousand, it's kind.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Of like going back to the one million dollars with
the pinky thing.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
It's worth about a one point five to four million today,
So if you wonder, if you wonder how that grew
two hundred thousand dollars in nineteen seventy one worth about
a million and a half in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Amazing. He also demanded four parachutes.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
It's been a legendary story for the longest time, and
he is thought to have succeeded in that heist. Apparently
he did. They landed the plane in Seattle, thirty six
passengers released.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
In exchange for the money.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Then he demanded the plane takeoff again along with several
crew members, headed to Mexico City. But then he jumped
somewhere between Seattle and Reno.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
And got away with it.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Now, these two siblings, Shante and Rick McCoy the third
said our dad was dB Cooper, and they seemed to
be correct. And again, as you heard from that story
from Brian Ford, they waited until their mother died because
they just did not want to have her implicate and
they said it was a taboo topic in the family.
(20:04):
They were afraid that she would get in trouble because
the parachute was found in her storage stash outside of
the house. Now this YouTuber and you know, good on him,
Dan Grider, said that the rig is literally one in
a billion, and he says that is the parachute that
was used by Cooper. It matched the modified parachute that
(20:27):
was prepared by skydiver Earl Cossi for police to.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Give to Cooper.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Why did they give her give him parachutes that worked, right,
I'm so curious about that. Why would you give him
a parachute that works.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Well.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I guess they probably wanted the money back, but I
don't think money splots like people.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I mean, I imagine you could have gotten that money back.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
The FBI reached out to the two siblings to see
the evidence themselves. In twenty twenty three, they searched the
mother's home for additional clues, and they even got a
DNA sample from the brother. The next step would have
been to exhume the body, but the FBI has said,
you know, we're not going to make that demand yet,
and in twenty sixteen they did close the case due
(21:10):
to a lack of leads. Well, I don't know. A
parachute might be a pretty good lead. Oh, who do
we have on the phone there, Jeff, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Sorry, we have an Ali Specker rally. I believe her
name is on the phone, since she was supposed to
call you this morning.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Oh yes, as a matter of fact, she was supposed
to call me, and so let's get her on that phone.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I'm going to get it. You know, this is the
time of.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Year when we need charity and we need to look
to places to give that we know are going to
make a huge, huge, difference. And For the Need is
the name of the charity that we're going to talk
about here, because it's just it's something that is absolutely amazing.
(21:56):
And Ali, why don't you join us here on your
morning show and let's talk about it.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
How you do an Alley?
Speaker 10 (22:03):
I'm doing great, good morning with Donna. Thank you so
much for having me on.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Absolutely, so let's talk about for the Need because I mean,
you know this this time of year, there are a
lot of people who are trying to get our charity dollars, and.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
You know, I like to make sure that my dollars are.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Going to a place that's going to make a huge
difference in life.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
How do you make the difference?
Speaker 10 (22:28):
Absolutely, I one hundred percent understand you don't want to
spend your hard earned money not having any idea where
it's going to go. I'll tell you a little about
what we do and what makes us unique.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
So our program we work with kids and their.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Families experiencing homelessness and poverty, and our goal is really
to break that cycle of homelessness while the killed while
the children are still young, so we come alongside them
as they're overcoming life's difficult challenges and we're exploring new
opportunities with them, and we're helping them realize their own
unique potential over time.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
So we have this saying, you know.
Speaker 10 (23:05):
Once you come to one of our events, you're part
of our for the Need family. And we keep track
of these families even if they move and their phone
gets disconnected. We stay in touch with them and we
work alongside them to teach character traits. But it's super
fun at the same time. So these kids that are
young anywhere from zero to eighteen and even beyond, we
(23:25):
work with them and we'll do super fun events like
Rocket Day where they actually build and launch their own rocket,
and we'll sneak in a character trait such as goal setting,
and they'll get to learn I can set goals too,
even if I don't have a lot. It can be small,
and then those habits can form and build over time
and set up that kid for success. We've seen confidence
(23:46):
build in these kids we work with. And I'd love
to share a story of one of the kids that
we've been working with for a few years.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Absolutely, yeah, great.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
So there's this kid named Mario and he and his
mom and his brother. We met them actually at a
Salvation Army transitional housing unit. They were literally homeless, coming
off the streets essentially, and we got to meet them
where they're at and work with this family. They were
very shy at first, you know, didn't have much hope
(24:18):
for the future. And this kid, Mario, we've been working
with for years, and we were able to help him
come out of his shell and grow in his confidence
and connected him with really strong male mentors in his
life and.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Our corporate partners who were able to.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Do one on one mentorship with him and help him
write his very own resume, which had all he had
to put on it was volunteering with our events after
he had turned eighteen, so we were able to even
give him that actual experience that he could put on
his resume, and then he Now it's just amazing seeing
where he's gone with this, and now he's he had
(24:54):
his first ever interview that we helped prep him for
and got the job. And now his family from being
homeless is now.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Now putting their.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
First payment down on an apartment. And we work with
many kids like this and more to come, which is
why we need your support this time of year.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
We're expanding.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Next year, we're going to serve double the amount of kids,
and we want to put more kids like Mario on
the path towards success and really brighten their futures.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
You know. One of the things that we notice, especially
about families who become homeless, is that the kids can
kind of get lost in the shuffle, and that really
sets them back, doesn't it.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Absolutely they're starting the race of life from a bit behind,
you know, and it's through no fault of their own.
Like these kids are in these situations. Often they're fleeing
domestic abuse. You know, there's a variety of reasons someone
becomes homeless, and our goal is really to reach those kids,
and we work with the parents too. Of course, we
provide life skills and training for them too, but our
(25:56):
focus is really those kids that are still moldable. You know,
they're in those critical years of development where it's not
too late to help really help them craft their own path,
and then we come alongside them as they hit their
targets in life.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
You know, for the Need dot org if you want
to find out more information about for the for the
Need Foundation, and this is a foundation that reaches out
and helps people and especially during the holidays. Ali, I
know that there are a lot of people who are looking,
you know, where what should I put my money into
because they feel like giving. This is the giving time
(26:31):
of year, and if they wanted to get more information
on for the Need, all they have to do is
go to for the Need dot org.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Anything else that you.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Want to tell us about what it is that your
foundation is doing that is helping people break free from poverty,
and that's really what it is you're doing.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You're training them to get out of poverty.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Yeah, definitely, one of the biggest things is just showing
these kids that there is something else out there, that
what they see in front of them is not necessarily
what always has to be in front of them, That
they have the ability to make good choices no matter
where they come from, and that we're going to be
alongside them as they make those choices and supporting them
(27:15):
as much as we can. And these kids, they just
have gaps in their lives that we can help fill
and it's been successful and proven out and we're just
so excited to be expanding.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
It's your morning show with Michael del Jarno.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I am LaDonna Harvey.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I'm coming to you from Phoenix, Arizona, where it is
four point fifty one in the morning and dark, and
I am alone, which means that I get to have
a lot of fun. And that's what we're going to
have with you this morning. So there, This Kamala Harris
story is so weird.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
It is so weird.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
You know, she's been radio silent pretty much since the election. Right,
we had one little comment and then that was it.
And Jeff, I'm going to ask you. I know I'm
throwing this at you, but I want to have you
get this sound ready.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
It is a terrible video.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
It's a video that was put out on X formerly Twitter,
a terrible video of Harris speaking to supporters and a
lot of X users. And there are a lot of
conservatives on X right, so they're going to hammer at
her no matter what. But I think there are a
lot of people who are kind of baffled as she
addresses her loss for the first time since her concession speech.
(29:14):
I want to play a little bit of it because
this is the Kamala Harris that I have known for
years and years and years. She was in California politics,
started off in San Francisco, ended up as the attorney
general for the state. And this is the Kamala Harris
that I have known for decades actually, and I think
(29:38):
this really is a pretty good example as to why
she may not have made it to the big chair.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Go ahead and play about Jeff.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
This is an uncertain time. I'm clear eyed about that.
I know you're clear eyed about it. And it feels
heavy that. As you've heard me say many times, hard
work can be joyful work.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
She sounds red eyed to me. Ah, okay, hard work
can be joyful work.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
She had a theme when she was running and The
theme was, Oh, it was that relentless positivity. I'm going
to be a president for all people. I'm going to
be I'm the anti Trump. She never defined what it
was that she was going to do. Hard work can
be joyful work. That means nothing. It means nothing. We
(30:34):
all are aware that hard work can be joyful work.
But she specifically I believe is I want to play
that again, just so we get all of the nuanced
such that there is.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
I know this is an uncertain time. I'm clear eyed
about that. I know you're clear eyed about it. And
it feels heavy. But as you've heard me say many times,
hard work can be joyful work.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Joyful work. It's such a strange thing to say. Tim
Walls also had some commentary. And if I could get
I know, I'm making Jeff run like a madman.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
If you could see him, he's like a duck.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
He's very calm on the outside, but I'm making him
run everywhere. Behind the scenes, He's moving all over the place.
I can see him because I'm watching him right now.
Play some of that. Tim Walls too, I.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Know it's incredibly disappointing now and look candidly, it's a
bit scary. We need to be that anchor for the
folks who are wondering what's next. Find the place in
your community to heal both yourselves and your community. And
I know there's a bit of a feeling of loss
because we saw what a real leader looks like.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
The American voter decided that the real leader was Donald Trump.
And that's because there was such weakness on the part
of the Democrats. The Democrats never had themselves together. They
from the minute that Joe Biden decided to run, they
were sunk. And they certainly were not helped by Kamala
(32:14):
Harris or Tim Waltz.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Neither of these people.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Came across to the American voter as somebody who could
handle the job. Hard work can be joyful work. What
are you saying to me? What is that meant to
I mean, is she gonna run again?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I'm going when I'm going when it is tight.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
No, dear, you're not, and you didn't and it wasn't
as tight as you had hoped. You know this, this
idea that Democrats need someplace to heal. You don't need
a place to heal. You're going to go about living
the rest of your life. Exactly like you were the
day before the election. Things don't go our way all
(33:02):
the time. If you're a Democratic voter, I mean, you know,
do you really need a place to heal? I suspect
that you don't. I think you're probably made of sterner stuff. Honestly,
I don't know who let her have that video, but
oh my, that was that was a mistake.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindheld, Joano
