Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard

ninety and Dallas Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, d C and five point fifty k
f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine or take us along on
the drive to work, but as we always say, better
late than never. Enjoy the podcast two three starting your
(00:22):
morning off right, A new way of talk, a new
way of understanding because we're in the State building. Okay, becaus,
this is your morning show with Michael gil John Rady
A pushback, pushback. Hi. Seven minutes after the hour, thanks
for waking up with your morning show on the Aaron,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I Am Michael del Jona.
(00:45):
Jeffrey said, the controls reds here next hour. Author Annie Zeleski,
I know you've waited a long time for that. Are
the award winning music journalist? Prom is out? What's that?
I promise? Yeah, promise this time. I promise. I'm a man.
I mean when I say, and I say what I mean.
For the life of me, I thought turkeys could fly
(01:07):
the award winning music journalist Annie Zeleski will join us
her new book We Found Love Song by song. She
has the stories behind the one hundred most romantic songs
ever made. Rick wrote to Michael d Atiheartmedia dot Com,
don't forget. I can't help falling in love for uh hell,
alling in love with you and you and you. As
(01:30):
Elvis would say, Ryan wrote, one man proves that a
national morning news program. I like that we should call
ourselves out a news program that's not really what we are.
I'm a news program, but it sounds so much more special.
It does sound good. It's not what we are. Let
me start over. One man proves that a national morning
(01:54):
news program doesn't have to be bland, boring and generic.
His name is Michael del Jorno. Best microphone artist since
Rush Limbaugh, microphone artist, our team McCarthy. If I ever
run for president, you're my campaign manager. He needs to
be doing some marketing for us, that's sure. Well, Oh,
(02:17):
Kathy writes a of course, I remember. It's my favorite
episode ever. Remember we were talking about the Seinfeld episode.
We were talking the other day about the Seinfeld episode
where he meets this girl. She looks real attractive he
asked her out on a date. Then he picks her
for the date. She looked completely different. Somebody had taken
that used ai and morphed in Kamala Harris because her
appearance has changed so much in the course of the
(02:41):
elective process. And then that person who created it was listening.
C three po Meme. Yeah, C three po Meme is
the person that produces these and they're brilliant. And I
mentioned when I was given his a plug Manhands. Manhands
was always my favorite episode of all the Seinfelds. Man
(03:03):
Hands is the one I referenced the most in real life. Okay,
but Canty right, remember the episode Manhands. Of course, I
remember that John Decker is going to be along. We
were going over this off the air, and I spared
you the pain of doing it. I mean I could
do like we discussed it and say, Red, would you
explain to them why it took almost exactly a month
(03:23):
to count a congressional house race in California. Well, the
answer is, you have you know voter fraud. Miss you know,
the signature isn't the name on there, or the address
doesn't match, or the first name's right, the last names wrong.
Whatever gets a ballot cast out and then they take
(03:45):
a month. And you were mentioning Nancy Pelosi's daughters one
of the prime people that does it. They literally go
door to door supposedly and correct these and then bring
them back so they can be counted. Other words, they
just keep going, and there's no chain of custody, so
you have no idea if this person really answered a door,
really gave you the correct name, or really gave you
the correct address, or really gave you the correct signature.
(04:07):
They just leave and then they mysteriously come back filled out. Right. Oh,
now they're counted. After thirty days of that, finally the
Democrat flips the seat from the Republican. But at least
for you know, that third world country California that you are,
it's over. And so where do things stand in the end.
Two hundred and twenty Republicans, two hundred and fifteen Democrats
(04:30):
plus five. We thought it was going to be I
think we said two twenty one to two twenty three, right, So,
but you know, counting like that will make your numbers wrong. Now,
the question is, after these cabinet appointments are filled, what
does that leave And the net is roughly plus two.
So yeah, the House will be a narrow majority for
the Republicans. John Decker has more on that coming up.
(04:53):
O'Neil on us shopping, and we are just absolutely out
of control. We're spending like we're not broke, as you know,
Jeffrey and read. Not only are not spending for Christmas,
there will be no Christmas. We've canceled it. She's gonna
get smoked. He's got to stop. I really don't know
what he said at the end of this. I'm working
(05:14):
on Christmas that Actually, I think you're doing swing shift
at the moonbeand coming tight. How do you like my garbage?
I love your garbage truck? All right, So sounds of
the day. We talked all morning long, and I'm gonna
get right to it. The Tale of two Cities. In
the end, the worldview is unsustainable, the worldview is unaffordable.
(05:40):
So the most brilliant thing that was done was when
Governor Abbott started sending these illegal immigrants pouring through the
poorest borders to our cities. That way, it wasn't a
border state problem. It was the American problem. It was
all along. Well, take New York City for example, that's
over two hundred and fifty thousand illegal immigrants, seeing them
(06:00):
six point four billion dollars this year, and they're broke
in Chicago. And we talked a lot about this during
the election season. These were angry US citizens and residents
whose facilities were taken, whose resources have been taken and
given to the illegals, as those they've elected to manage
their municipality encourage this and continue this. Well, they finally,
(06:26):
if they didn't get the hint in the election, they
certainly got it in the city council meeting. Now you
need to know Lori Lightfoot is gone, but Mayor Brandon
Johnson is just Lori Lightfoot two point zero. So they're
just doubling, tripling down. They don't care what their residents think.
And while you're listening to this, you're seeing real angry
(06:49):
residents telling their elected officials and the mayor in this
case Johnson, I cannot tell you. I don't know whether
to call it smugly. He's just ending so arrogantly as
they're saying all this to them.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of course, the bottom line is whether you agree with
the residents or the council or the mayor, you're broke.
You can't afford it. The priorities of municipal government are
first and foremost public safety, so police and fire emergency.
(07:25):
Now I could go through roads, bridges, county, statewide. Chicago
was filled with toll roads because that money, even though
the taxes have all been collected, it's been spent elsewhere.
There's some problems that are decades of mismanagement, and then
there's this urgent crisis of a legal immigration. Well, listen
(07:46):
to the Chicago residents and are sound of the day
talking to their mirror, and this is what it's going
to take. Now. Remember if we got rid of the
electoral college, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco alone would probably elect every president. Can you imagine
(08:08):
what that would be like? Well, these Chicago residents can
listen in theory.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Okay, so I got a great way of how we
can what we can do with this budget.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
First, let's start with cutting.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Off illegals getting free everything, free housing, free schooling, free food. Yeah,
let's start with that. That'll save us a lot of money.
What six hundred million, let's start there. Then let's start
with you your salary.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You are going down in history as the worst.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Mayor in America. Let's start with cutting yours. You're making
too much money.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Let's start there.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And now let's start with the police detail you had,
the two hundred police detail you had. Let's start with that,
because you Democrats and you remember you told us to
defund the police.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Remember you ran on that. Remember you was the defund
the police. Let's start with that.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's that's the fund the police detail that you have.
And let's put the police back in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Because we're not.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Fund the funding the police. We need the police.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So let's start with all the Democrats because because y'all
policy with y'all push in our neighborhood to fund the police.
So all y'all that got police details and got police
presence around your house, let's start with cutting that. That'll
save a lot of the money. So won't you just
practice what you preach.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
By the way, the whole time she's speaking, she's wearing
a red T shirt with white lettering Chicago turns Red.
Probably read in anger and outrage and read and trump.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
This.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I will say this about Mayor Adams during the election,
he was narrative busting, but not like what you're about
to hear. What do we always say, agendas, narratives, If
they're not based in sustainability or truth, they all die.
(10:21):
And the cause of death is reality or reality. Said
it in New York and here's so Chicago, the mayor
sticking with all of this open border free stuff for
the illegals. The people get it, the government doesn't. In
New York, the government gets it, and the New York
(10:43):
City Mayor is ready to talk deportation with the President elect.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
There was a time when four thousand migrants arrived in
New York City every week. Today Mayor Adams said the
cost now top six point four billion dollars and the
annual budget of the entire New York City Police Department,
and more than double the budget of the Fire Department.
And he blasted the Bide administration for leaving the city
(11:10):
to manage on its own.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
They hurt the future of New York City. And when
people hear me say six point four billion dollars, they
may say, Okay, it's just a billion here, billionaire. No,
we'd invest in sinions the way we should have, and
young people the way we should have. We should we
all should be angry at what happened to our city.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Under this administration, LA Mayor.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Plans to meet with the incoming Trump administration. Although he
opposes mass deportations, he believes the city should cooperate with
immigrations agents to depart violent criminals.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Those who are here committing crimes.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people have been
a harm to our country. I want to sit down
and hear the plan on how we're going to address them.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The influx of migrants reached a high point in January,
with sixty nine thousand in the city's care. Last week
it was down to just over fifty six thousand. Since
twenty twenty two, roughly a quarter million have arrived in
New York. Immigration advocates rallied today demanding one hundred and
sixty five million dollars in state funding for expanded legal services.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We will protect New Yorkers because these folks are New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
We will give them the chance to become our neighbors.
We will give them the chance to stay with their families.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
How much common ground the mayor can find with the
Trump administration is an open question tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Certainly, federal aid.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
To care for the migrants is unlikely, but the mayor
seems to believe the restricter immigration policies that might not
be necessary.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I think the advocates they at a shop like they
do in a store. You want that we be prepared
to pay the price tag, because unless you got six
point four billion dollars, what you want isn't attainable. John
Stewart had his reaction to the Biden pardon of his son.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Finally, Democrats have a moral perch from which they can
judge without shame, hypocrisy, or nuance.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Written news. President Biden has issued a pardon for his son,
Hunter Biden.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
We were so quo.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
I'm sure the pardon is a narrowly written, precisely drawn
farewell note of compassion for a loved one.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
The pardon sweeping covering offenses that Hunter Biden quote has
committed or may have committed or taken part in over
the past eleven years.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Eleven years is very specific and not rounded amount of time.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's got to be a big bit understanding.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I like, my God, that just sounds the day for Wednesday,
December the fourth, This is your Morning Show with Michael Dono.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. These are
your top five stories of the day. Well, first, Matt
Gates was out. Is Pete Hegseth. Next, Donald Trump's nomination
(14:35):
for Defense Secretary allegedly had alarming drinking habits while at
Fox News. Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Ten current and former Fox employees spoke with NBC News
and said hegg Sith drank in ways that concerned them.
Two people send it on more than a dozen occasions.
Haggsmith smelled like alcohol before going on here and would
complain about hangovers regularly. One source that they smelled alcohol
on him as recently as last month. The New Yorker
recently detailed concerns about Hegseth striking at two jobs he
(15:02):
had before joining Fox. Excess legal to you, so they
deny the allegations.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Him seems striking to him, that he
had a lot of headaches. Donald Trump might be thinking
about replacing Hegseth. A new report from the Wall Street
Journal says He's mulling over a few people, including Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis, as his replacement. Hegseth is embroiled in
multiple misconduct allegations, while we got a Democrat joining the doge,
(15:27):
Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Florida lawmaker Jared Moskowitz said in a statement that he's
joining because he believes that streamlining government processes and reducing
ineffective government spending should not be a partisan issue. President
Elect Trump's administration is starting the Department of Government Efficiency,
which Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami will lead.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 11 (15:53):
This is Deba Morris from our little town of Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael Ontornia.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm Michael del Jorno, and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on great stations like six
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here. Now.
(16:32):
Enjoy the podcast. I can think of a local Mexican
restaurant here in Franklin Tennessee that will never see me
again because of a strong neuroassociation I have. It may
have had nothing to do with them, but I will
forever think of them. You know, I growing up in Chicago.
We didn't have money obviously as children, so my mom
(16:53):
would take me and my brothers out. It was like
either Christmas Eve or the day before Christmas Eve, because
we used to do FeAs to seven fishes Onchristmasy with
all the grandparents and it'd be like snowing and cold,
and we'd go to the Walgreens and we would shop,
and of course we didn't have money, so I would
pick out a perfume for my one grandmother, I'd pick
(17:14):
out cologne for my grandfather, and this and that, and
I'm telling you, Rory, it sticks with me to this day.
I've never been a big I don't think I've ever
shopped ever on Black Friday, let alone Cyber Monday. And
I am a last minute shopper. But it's it's in joy.
I love that. I love the hustle and the bustle.
I love the hurry of it. I love the But
(17:36):
you know, when you were giving those numbers, I got
to tell you, even though we're not early shoppers. I
think we spent more than two hundred and fifty already too,
so that I didn't realize we were personally at some
record pace. I thought it'd be more than that per individual. Well,
and that's just for the four day weekend. I mean,
that's just what's been spent so far.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
So the other reason that we might have seen a
higher turnout is also because it's a compressed shopping calendar.
Thanksgiving was as late as it can be, right, and
that means there's less time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So we that may have driven some of the.
Speaker 12 (18:08):
Traffic out there, and they don't include some of the
smart shoppers who were taking advantage of things like Amazon
Prime Days back in October and squirreling away that stuff.
When the NRF does these numbers, it's just November and December.
They're expecting in total of about just I have one
million dollars in spending.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I like to think of it like it could be
a pure thing. I enjoy giving more than receiving. I
don't know about you, you I really do. I always have.
And that's why I don't early shop too, because I
can't buy something like in let's say September October. I
can't keep the secret that long. I'm dying to give
it to them. I'm dying to see the I don't
know how people have the patience to do that. All right,
(18:49):
So we're spending a lot. What are we spending it on?
Does it tell us.
Speaker 12 (18:52):
About half of it is spent on clothing and accessories,
thirty one percent on toys? Gift card it's already at
twenty seven percent, which seems like a last minute gift.
I'm not rushing to get a gift card, right, food
and candy and personal care?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
What this next generation they're into it? Like in other words?
Oh yeah, I mean I would if you gave me
a gift card. Actually, if you gave me anything, I'd
be floored. But I give you the time to day, Eddy,
I mean, are you kidding? Mean I unwrap it when
you give me the time of day. No, But I
mean if you gave me a gift card, that's what
would go through my head that you put very little
(19:29):
thought into it. But for the I can tell you
my kids that are twenty and eighteen, that's all they want.
And the notion that you would buy something rather than
give them the resource for them to buy what they want.
It almost strikes them odd. So yeah, that one. I
get why that's rising. But yeah, all right, so here
comes Christmas and this do we normally spend more during
(19:51):
this Cyber Monday Black Friday period than we do the
rest of the month or is this an early sign
of something even bigger to come?
Speaker 13 (19:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (20:00):
That should have been the big one as it were.
But again, because the weeks are a bit shorter this year,
because the calendar is shorter, obviously it's going to be
increased activity every day because there are fewer out there.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Now, here's the hardest question in the world. What do
you want? What do you want for Christmas? I haven't
fun about it, to be honest, you no, I haven't
thought about I never know what. I don't really you
know what I want. I just I can't wait to
make cookies. I know this sounds so like I'm doing
this for radio, but I'm not. I love when we
go to Christmas Eve service. I love when we make
cookies at night, when we laugh and talk, and I
(20:34):
mean we've usually watched four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. Well,
it's an all star cast. I shouldn't single out Vince Faughn.
You know, that's it. I really don't want anything. That's
why I'm so hard to buy for. But I wanted
to give you a chance to say it, just in
case someone who loves who's listening they won't know what
to get you.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
I got a T shirt and a ten percent discount.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I want something from Morocco there. Oh God, anything you
bought you regret, you want to the well, that was
the thing. So when I was traveling, I hadn't. I didn't.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
I sold my house to travel, so I hadn't and
I'm just on the road so I couldn't buy anything anywhere,
which was a great way to do.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
What was the little what was a little jink's head
that was on the necklace that Greg got when he
was in Hawaii. Yeah, and then the tarantula crawled on
Peter's face he got in the surfing accent. That's what
I expect to get from you, something like a little
cursed booty down. All right, Rory's going to be back.
Final story. There's political chaos in South Korea. Rory's all
over that story. You'll give you the who, what, where?
(21:32):
And went on that when he comes back in the
third hour. Thanks Rory for your reporting. All right, if
you're just waking up and we set it up this way,
I could play you the very beginning. It's raining, so
you know the first thing you think of, I guess
it rains down in Africa. Second thought is, here's a
president hiding in Africa because he partoned his son and
broke his promise, really pardoned himself. Everybody gets it. We
(21:55):
even heard that and Sounds of the Day with John Stewart.
Everybody knows this is about Bereis and himself and his brother,
and probably pardons for his brother and himself still to come.
So while he's hiding in Africa and everybody, including his
party at home, is feeling as though they have just
been thrown to the curb, he's in Africa now. Also
(22:17):
keep in mind, we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt. Now.
The people in North Carolina who are ravaged by the
hurricane and flooding got nothing from their government. And here's
your president being led out to the podium. He looks
lost as always, and then he starts his speech. And
while he had a pardon for his son past, the
(22:37):
president in future on our soil in Africa. He has
no pardon for the sins of slavery, goes on and
on about that, and then while he has no money
for North Carolina, he's got a billion dollars for Africa.
I mean, you've got to be sitting in North Carolina
going so the President of the United States and our
government isn't coming to help. But they got a billion
dollars for Africa. And that's where we pick up the speed,
(23:00):
having the means to do it.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
The United States understands how we invest in Africa is
as important as how much we invest in Too many places,
ten years after the so called investment was made, workers
are still coming home on a dirt road and without electricity,
a village without a school, a city without a hospital,
or a country under crushing debt. We seek a better way, transparent,
(23:27):
high standard, open access investments to protect workers and the
rural law and the environment. It can't be done and
will be done, folks. The partnership between that goal in
the United States also extends to supporting peace and security
in this region and beyond. President Lorenzo and I want
(23:52):
to thank him for his leadership and mediation and regional conflicts.
Also want to thank him for end goals speaking out
against Russia's unprovoked war against Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It matters. It matters when leaders speak out ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
As you know, I'm in the final weeks of my presidency.
You don't have to collap for that. You can if
you want. But I wanted to come to Angola. Although
I've been chairman of the African Americas Subcommittee for a
long time, I had never made it to Angola because
although I don't know exactly what the future will hold,
I know the future runs through Angola, through Africa.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean it sincerely. This is not a joe. I'm
not kidding. And by the way, we're thirty six trillion
dollars in debt and he's got a billion dollars for them.
People in Chicago are begging for the resources and facilities
that have been taking with the overflow of illegal immigrants.
(24:53):
New York City is upside down with over two hundred
and forty thousand illegal immigrants since twenty twenty two, at
the tune of six point four billion dollars. You got
a Democrat mayor in New York saying I gotta work
with Donald Trump. We gotta talk deportation. This is unsustainable,
this is unaffordable. And there is your president hiding from
(25:18):
his pardon decision with a billion dollars in Africa, proclaiming
the future rolls through Angola, Africa and after his presidency
that may be true. It's your Morning Show with Michael
del Chano. Let's go to ames Iowa. We got a
(25:42):
talk pack ready for Mike.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
The thing about Biden helping slave read in Angola is
kind of ironic, isn't it. It's supposed to combat the
Chinese influence, wells, to help the Chinese with their influence,
enslaving children minors. It's really disgusting when you think about it. Oh,
very anyway, it's obvious he's out of it.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But what's he going to do before he leaves? Have
a good day? Yeah? That connection should be on everyone's
mind as they're holding their smartphone in their hand or
driving their EV vehicle. Yeah. And what he does next,
that's why we call it the Kamakazi presidency. That's what
we're really holding our breath. What does Joe Biden have
if the first act was to pardon himself, his brother,
(26:26):
and his son, what else does he have planned in
his final sixty days in office in a Kamakazi president.
I think it was Phoenix. Arizona's the next one. They're
so smart there, That's why I'm guessing Phoenix. But roll it.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
It's Carol, Carol, Michael, Carol and Wadell Arizona. My question
to you is, no one's been talking about Jill.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Doctor. Jill has been missing an action? Where could she be?
We were thank you, I will, we were talking off
the army and red. If you look at Kamala Harris
schedule or official vice presidential schedule, it just says meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting,
nothing specific. They're all in hiding. But the Jill part
(27:09):
is actually the strangest. Joe's in Africa heading back to DC,
Jill's heading with Donald Trump to Notre Dame, right, isn't
she so? I mean imagine where that could be added.
And meanwhile you have the citizens of Chicago begging for
their leaders to wake up on a legal immigration and
(27:31):
then in New York you got the mayor who gets
it and the people who don't. It's a crazy, crazy time.
But he colles over for McDonald. So we got that
going for us. All right, are we waiting on John Decker?
You look very official over there with whatever you're doing.
So we've been talking about this morning, this final race,
and it would have I think it would have been
(27:52):
almost a month to the day it took them to
count these votes. And now we have the final control
of the House. And while it is the Republicans, I
believe fifteen to two, twenty to two, fifteen plus five.
I think after cabinet positions are filled, it'll be closer
to plus two. But it's very close. But John Decker,
(28:14):
our White House correspondents here, what would take California so
long to determine house race that it was a month?
Speaker 13 (28:21):
Well, it was a very close race. There had to be,
as was mandated by California law, a recount that takes time,
and ultimately you have a winner. And it means that
as it relates to the thirteenth Congressional district in California,
Democrats managed to flip that seat, and as you point out,
it's a very narrow majority that Republicans will have in
(28:46):
the one hundred nineteenth Congress.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
All right, So one of the things is, you know,
you have all these questionable ballots and it could be
last name is wrong or first name is wrong, or
address is wrong, or signature doesn't match the name, and
then they're given I don't think given the opportunity to
go door to door and fix those and then count them.
That takes a lot of time, too, right.
Speaker 13 (29:07):
All of that takes time, absolutely, But what's done is done.
It's an official You don't want to discuss the nonsense
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
What's done is done, right, don't They flipped the seat
and that's a scoreboard fifteen, all right, so plus five
that really becomes plus three. Now for people driving to
work today wondering. All right, so if three of those
go to a cabinet.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
Position, actually, well, that's right, there are three members that
are leaving. They will resign their seats upon getting confirmed,
including a lease to Fanics has been named as the
new US Ambassador to the United Nations. And then, as
you point out, then it's two. But then also keep
in mind Matt Gigs easily thing Congress, so then it's
(29:48):
plus one. It's a one seat majority that Republicans will
have for probably the first.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Three months of the year, right, and then for those
seats that are vacated, special elections.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
Special elections exactly, and each state has rules for when
does special elections take place?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right, So what does bottom line? How does this
play out? What does bottom line?
Speaker 13 (30:13):
The bottom line is that Republicans have so little room
for error in terms of moving far with Donald Trump's
legislative agenda. Think about it, Isney, Michael. You have one
member who is sick, one member is COVID, one member
who is a family member who's sick, one member who
misses a plane or a train. It really can come
(30:36):
up the works into in terms of moving that legislative
agenda forward.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I guess what I was really kind of secretly asking,
and you know, I like to this is your time,
not mine. So, but like of the things that we
think that are coming from the border, to the economy,
to cutting spending or maybe deportation beyond those that have
committed crimes, what issues do you think where this narrow
margin could play a role.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
Well, you know, I think that Republicans are all online
in terms of all of those issues. You know, I mean,
I don't think you're going to get a Republican that
will disagree in terms of a legislation that will tighten
border security or legislation that would impose additional trade teriffs
on products coming into the US. But having said all that,
(31:20):
when you're talking about just one member, a one member
not being there, that you know, puts in doubt passage
of legislation on that particular day and could delay the
efforts to move forward with Donald Trump's legislative agenda.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right, John Decker, thanks for joining us, have a
great day. We'll talk again tomorrow. Yeah, Because my curiosity is,
I'm trying to think, to me, the most significant thing
would be, Okay, if you are down to really three,
which including Matt Gates could mean down to one a
one majority, that's going to be until the special elections
(31:56):
are done. But that would be the first hundred days.
And I think Donald Trump first and foremost gets a
second first hundred days. Had he been in concession, you
really don't you have a first hundred days in your
first term. Your second term, you almost don't even have that.
You're just almost a lame duck from the beginning. So
what historically makes this unique is the break and it's
changed Donald Trump, so he's gonna hit the ground running.
(32:18):
But if the answer is on the issues in the
first one hundred days. They have complete agreement, and Natty
Coli or COVID or something's going to keep them from voting.
I don't see what it's gonna stop. We're all in
this together. This is Your Morning Show with Michael nhild
Joo

A pushback, pushback. Hi. Seven minutes after the hour, thanks
for waking up with your morning show on the Aaron,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I Am Michael del Jona.
(00:45):
Jeffrey said, the controls reds here next hour. Author Annie Zeleski,
I know you've waited a long time for that. Are
the award winning music journalist? Prom is out? What's that?
I promise? Yeah, promise this time. I promise. I'm a man.
I mean when I say, and I say what I mean.
For the life of me, I thought turkeys could fly
(01:07):
the award winning music journalist Annie Zeleski will join us
her new book We Found Love Song by song. She
has the stories behind the one hundred most romantic songs
ever made. Rick wrote to Michael d Atiheartmedia dot Com,
don't forget. I can't help falling in love for uh hell,
alling in love with you and you and you. As
(01:30):
Elvis would say, Ryan wrote, one man proves that a
national morning news program. I like that we should call
ourselves out a news program that's not really what we are.
I'm a news program, but it sounds so much more special.
It does sound good. It's not what we are. Let
me start over. One man proves that a national morning
(01:54):
news program doesn't have to be bland, boring and generic.
His name is Michael del Jorno. Best microphone artist since
Rush Limbaugh, microphone artist, our team McCarthy. If I ever
run for president, you're my campaign manager. He needs to
be doing some marketing for us, that's sure. Well, Oh,
(02:17):
Kathy writes a of course, I remember. It's my favorite
episode ever. Remember we were talking about the Seinfeld episode.
We were talking the other day about the Seinfeld episode
where he meets this girl. She looks real attractive he
asked her out on a date. Then he picks her
for the date. She looked completely different. Somebody had taken
that used ai and morphed in Kamala Harris because her
appearance has changed so much in the course of the
(02:41):
elective process. And then that person who created it was listening.
C three po Meme. Yeah, C three po Meme is
the person that produces these and they're brilliant. And I
mentioned when I was given his a plug Manhands. Manhands
was always my favorite episode of all the Seinfelds. Man
(03:03):
Hands is the one I referenced the most in real life. Okay,
but Canty right, remember the episode Manhands. Of course, I
remember that John Decker is going to be along. We
were going over this off the air, and I spared
you the pain of doing it. I mean I could
do like we discussed it and say, Red, would you
explain to them why it took almost exactly a month
(03:23):
to count a congressional house race in California. Well, the
answer is, you have you know voter fraud. Miss you know,
the signature isn't the name on there, or the address
doesn't match, or the first name's right, the last names wrong.
Whatever gets a ballot cast out and then they take
(03:45):
a month. And you were mentioning Nancy Pelosi's daughters one
of the prime people that does it. They literally go
door to door supposedly and correct these and then bring
them back so they can be counted. Other words, they
just keep going, and there's no chain of custody, so
you have no idea if this person really answered a door,
really gave you the correct name, or really gave you
the correct address, or really gave you the correct signature.
(04:07):
They just leave and then they mysteriously come back filled out. Right. Oh,
now they're counted. After thirty days of that, finally the
Democrat flips the seat from the Republican. But at least
for you know, that third world country California that you are,
it's over. And so where do things stand in the end.
Two hundred and twenty Republicans, two hundred and fifteen Democrats
(04:30):
plus five. We thought it was going to be I
think we said two twenty one to two twenty three, right, So,
but you know, counting like that will make your numbers wrong. Now,
the question is, after these cabinet appointments are filled, what
does that leave And the net is roughly plus two.
So yeah, the House will be a narrow majority for
the Republicans. John Decker has more on that coming up.
(04:53):
O'Neil on us shopping, and we are just absolutely out
of control. We're spending like we're not broke, as you know,
Jeffrey and read. Not only are not spending for Christmas,
there will be no Christmas. We've canceled it. She's gonna
get smoked. He's got to stop. I really don't know
what he said at the end of this. I'm working
(05:14):
on Christmas that Actually, I think you're doing swing shift
at the moonbeand coming tight. How do you like my garbage?
I love your garbage truck? All right, So sounds of
the day. We talked all morning long, and I'm gonna
get right to it. The Tale of two Cities. In
the end, the worldview is unsustainable, the worldview is unaffordable.
(05:40):
So the most brilliant thing that was done was when
Governor Abbott started sending these illegal immigrants pouring through the
poorest borders to our cities. That way, it wasn't a
border state problem. It was the American problem. It was
all along. Well, take New York City for example, that's
over two hundred and fifty thousand illegal immigrants, seeing them
(06:00):
six point four billion dollars this year, and they're broke
in Chicago. And we talked a lot about this during
the election season. These were angry US citizens and residents
whose facilities were taken, whose resources have been taken and
given to the illegals, as those they've elected to manage
their municipality encourage this and continue this. Well, they finally,
(06:26):
if they didn't get the hint in the election, they
certainly got it in the city council meeting. Now you
need to know Lori Lightfoot is gone, but Mayor Brandon
Johnson is just Lori Lightfoot two point zero. So they're
just doubling, tripling down. They don't care what their residents think.
And while you're listening to this, you're seeing real angry
(06:49):
residents telling their elected officials and the mayor in this
case Johnson, I cannot tell you. I don't know whether
to call it smugly. He's just ending so arrogantly as
they're saying all this to them.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of course, the bottom line is whether you agree with
the residents or the council or the mayor, you're broke.
You can't afford it. The priorities of municipal government are
first and foremost public safety, so police and fire emergency.
(07:25):
Now I could go through roads, bridges, county, statewide. Chicago
was filled with toll roads because that money, even though
the taxes have all been collected, it's been spent elsewhere.
There's some problems that are decades of mismanagement, and then
there's this urgent crisis of a legal immigration. Well, listen
(07:46):
to the Chicago residents and are sound of the day
talking to their mirror, and this is what it's going
to take. Now. Remember if we got rid of the
electoral college, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco alone would probably elect every president. Can you imagine
(08:08):
what that would be like? Well, these Chicago residents can
listen in theory.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Okay, so I got a great way of how we
can what we can do with this budget.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
First, let's start with cutting.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Off illegals getting free everything, free housing, free schooling, free food. Yeah,
let's start with that. That'll save us a lot of money.
What six hundred million, let's start there. Then let's start
with you your salary.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You are going down in history as the worst.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Mayor in America. Let's start with cutting yours. You're making
too much money.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Let's start there.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And now let's start with the police detail you had,
the two hundred police detail you had. Let's start with that,
because you Democrats and you remember you told us to
defund the police.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Remember you ran on that. Remember you was the defund
the police. Let's start with that.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's that's the fund the police detail that you have.
And let's put the police back in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Because we're not.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Fund the funding the police. We need the police.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So let's start with all the Democrats because because y'all
policy with y'all push in our neighborhood to fund the police.
So all y'all that got police details and got police
presence around your house, let's start with cutting that. That'll
save a lot of the money. So won't you just
practice what you preach.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
By the way, the whole time she's speaking, she's wearing
a red T shirt with white lettering Chicago turns Red.
Probably read in anger and outrage and read and trump.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
This.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I will say this about Mayor Adams during the election,
he was narrative busting, but not like what you're about
to hear. What do we always say, agendas, narratives, If
they're not based in sustainability or truth, they all die.
(10:21):
And the cause of death is reality or reality. Said
it in New York and here's so Chicago, the mayor
sticking with all of this open border free stuff for
the illegals. The people get it, the government doesn't. In
New York, the government gets it, and the New York
(10:43):
City Mayor is ready to talk deportation with the President elect.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
There was a time when four thousand migrants arrived in
New York City every week. Today Mayor Adams said the
cost now top six point four billion dollars and the
annual budget of the entire New York City Police Department,
and more than double the budget of the Fire Department.
And he blasted the Bide administration for leaving the city
(11:10):
to manage on its own.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
They hurt the future of New York City. And when
people hear me say six point four billion dollars, they
may say, Okay, it's just a billion here, billionaire. No,
we'd invest in sinions the way we should have, and
young people the way we should have. We should we
all should be angry at what happened to our city.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Under this administration, LA Mayor.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Plans to meet with the incoming Trump administration. Although he
opposes mass deportations, he believes the city should cooperate with
immigrations agents to depart violent criminals.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Those who are here committing crimes.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people have been
a harm to our country. I want to sit down
and hear the plan on how we're going to address them.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The influx of migrants reached a high point in January,
with sixty nine thousand in the city's care. Last week
it was down to just over fifty six thousand. Since
twenty twenty two, roughly a quarter million have arrived in
New York. Immigration advocates rallied today demanding one hundred and
sixty five million dollars in state funding for expanded legal services.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We will protect New Yorkers because these folks are New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
We will give them the chance to become our neighbors.
We will give them the chance to stay with their families.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
How much common ground the mayor can find with the
Trump administration is an open question tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Certainly, federal aid.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
To care for the migrants is unlikely, but the mayor
seems to believe the restricter immigration policies that might not
be necessary.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I think the advocates they at a shop like they
do in a store. You want that we be prepared
to pay the price tag, because unless you got six
point four billion dollars, what you want isn't attainable. John
Stewart had his reaction to the Biden pardon of his son.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Finally, Democrats have a moral perch from which they can
judge without shame, hypocrisy, or nuance.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Written news. President Biden has issued a pardon for his son,
Hunter Biden.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
We were so quo.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
I'm sure the pardon is a narrowly written, precisely drawn
farewell note of compassion for a loved one.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
The pardon sweeping covering offenses that Hunter Biden quote has
committed or may have committed or taken part in over
the past eleven years.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Eleven years is very specific and not rounded amount of time.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's got to be a big bit understanding.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I like, my God, that just sounds the day for Wednesday,
December the fourth, This is your Morning Show with Michael Dono.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. These are
your top five stories of the day. Well, first, Matt
Gates was out. Is Pete Hegseth. Next, Donald Trump's nomination
(14:35):
for Defense Secretary allegedly had alarming drinking habits while at
Fox News. Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Ten current and former Fox employees spoke with NBC News
and said hegg Sith drank in ways that concerned them.
Two people send it on more than a dozen occasions.
Haggsmith smelled like alcohol before going on here and would
complain about hangovers regularly. One source that they smelled alcohol
on him as recently as last month. The New Yorker
recently detailed concerns about Hegseth striking at two jobs he
(15:02):
had before joining Fox. Excess legal to you, so they
deny the allegations.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Him seems striking to him, that he
had a lot of headaches. Donald Trump might be thinking
about replacing Hegseth. A new report from the Wall Street
Journal says He's mulling over a few people, including Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis, as his replacement. Hegseth is embroiled in
multiple misconduct allegations, while we got a Democrat joining the doge,
(15:27):
Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Florida lawmaker Jared Moskowitz said in a statement that he's
joining because he believes that streamlining government processes and reducing
ineffective government spending should not be a partisan issue. President
Elect Trump's administration is starting the Department of Government Efficiency,
which Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami will lead.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 11 (15:53):
This is Deba Morris from our little town of Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael Ontornia.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm Michael del Jorno, and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on great stations like six
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here. Now.
(16:32):
Enjoy the podcast. I can think of a local Mexican
restaurant here in Franklin Tennessee that will never see me
again because of a strong neuroassociation I have. It may
have had nothing to do with them, but I will
forever think of them. You know, I growing up in Chicago.
We didn't have money obviously as children, so my mom
(16:53):
would take me and my brothers out. It was like
either Christmas Eve or the day before Christmas Eve, because
we used to do FeAs to seven fishes Onchristmasy with
all the grandparents and it'd be like snowing and cold,
and we'd go to the Walgreens and we would shop,
and of course we didn't have money, so I would
pick out a perfume for my one grandmother, I'd pick
(17:14):
out cologne for my grandfather, and this and that, and
I'm telling you, Rory, it sticks with me to this day.
I've never been a big I don't think I've ever
shopped ever on Black Friday, let alone Cyber Monday. And
I am a last minute shopper. But it's it's in joy.
I love that. I love the hustle and the bustle.
I love the hurry of it. I love the But
(17:36):
you know, when you were giving those numbers, I got
to tell you, even though we're not early shoppers. I
think we spent more than two hundred and fifty already too,
so that I didn't realize we were personally at some
record pace. I thought it'd be more than that per individual. Well,
and that's just for the four day weekend. I mean,
that's just what's been spent so far.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
So the other reason that we might have seen a
higher turnout is also because it's a compressed shopping calendar.
Thanksgiving was as late as it can be, right, and
that means there's less time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So we that may have driven some of the.
Speaker 12 (18:08):
Traffic out there, and they don't include some of the
smart shoppers who were taking advantage of things like Amazon
Prime Days back in October and squirreling away that stuff.
When the NRF does these numbers, it's just November and December.
They're expecting in total of about just I have one
million dollars in spending.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I like to think of it like it could be
a pure thing. I enjoy giving more than receiving. I
don't know about you, you I really do. I always have.
And that's why I don't early shop too, because I
can't buy something like in let's say September October. I
can't keep the secret that long. I'm dying to give
it to them. I'm dying to see the I don't
know how people have the patience to do that. All right,
(18:49):
So we're spending a lot. What are we spending it on?
Does it tell us.
Speaker 12 (18:52):
About half of it is spent on clothing and accessories,
thirty one percent on toys? Gift card it's already at
twenty seven percent, which seems like a last minute gift.
I'm not rushing to get a gift card, right, food
and candy and personal care?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
What this next generation they're into it? Like in other words?
Oh yeah, I mean I would if you gave me
a gift card. Actually, if you gave me anything, I'd
be floored. But I give you the time to day, Eddy,
I mean, are you kidding? Mean I unwrap it when
you give me the time of day. No, But I
mean if you gave me a gift card, that's what
would go through my head that you put very little
(19:29):
thought into it. But for the I can tell you
my kids that are twenty and eighteen, that's all they want.
And the notion that you would buy something rather than
give them the resource for them to buy what they want.
It almost strikes them odd. So yeah, that one. I
get why that's rising. But yeah, all right, so here
comes Christmas and this do we normally spend more during
(19:51):
this Cyber Monday Black Friday period than we do the
rest of the month or is this an early sign
of something even bigger to come?
Speaker 13 (19:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (20:00):
That should have been the big one as it were.
But again, because the weeks are a bit shorter this year,
because the calendar is shorter, obviously it's going to be
increased activity every day because there are fewer out there.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Now, here's the hardest question in the world. What do
you want? What do you want for Christmas? I haven't
fun about it, to be honest, you no, I haven't
thought about I never know what. I don't really you
know what I want. I just I can't wait to
make cookies. I know this sounds so like I'm doing
this for radio, but I'm not. I love when we
go to Christmas Eve service. I love when we make
cookies at night, when we laugh and talk, and I
(20:34):
mean we've usually watched four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. Well,
it's an all star cast. I shouldn't single out Vince Faughn.
You know, that's it. I really don't want anything. That's
why I'm so hard to buy for. But I wanted
to give you a chance to say it, just in
case someone who loves who's listening they won't know what
to get you.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
I got a T shirt and a ten percent discount.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I want something from Morocco there. Oh God, anything you
bought you regret, you want to the well, that was
the thing. So when I was traveling, I hadn't. I didn't.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
I sold my house to travel, so I hadn't and
I'm just on the road so I couldn't buy anything anywhere,
which was a great way to do.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
What was the little what was a little jink's head
that was on the necklace that Greg got when he
was in Hawaii. Yeah, and then the tarantula crawled on
Peter's face he got in the surfing accent. That's what
I expect to get from you, something like a little
cursed booty down. All right, Rory's going to be back.
Final story. There's political chaos in South Korea. Rory's all
over that story. You'll give you the who, what, where?
(21:32):
And went on that when he comes back in the
third hour. Thanks Rory for your reporting. All right, if
you're just waking up and we set it up this way,
I could play you the very beginning. It's raining, so
you know the first thing you think of, I guess
it rains down in Africa. Second thought is, here's a
president hiding in Africa because he partoned his son and
broke his promise, really pardoned himself. Everybody gets it. We
(21:55):
even heard that and Sounds of the Day with John Stewart.
Everybody knows this is about Bereis and himself and his brother,
and probably pardons for his brother and himself still to come.
So while he's hiding in Africa and everybody, including his
party at home, is feeling as though they have just
been thrown to the curb, he's in Africa now. Also
(22:17):
keep in mind, we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt. Now.
The people in North Carolina who are ravaged by the
hurricane and flooding got nothing from their government. And here's
your president being led out to the podium. He looks
lost as always, and then he starts his speech. And
while he had a pardon for his son past, the
(22:37):
president in future on our soil in Africa. He has
no pardon for the sins of slavery, goes on and
on about that, and then while he has no money
for North Carolina, he's got a billion dollars for Africa.
I mean, you've got to be sitting in North Carolina
going so the President of the United States and our
government isn't coming to help. But they got a billion
dollars for Africa. And that's where we pick up the speed,
(23:00):
having the means to do it.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
The United States understands how we invest in Africa is
as important as how much we invest in Too many places,
ten years after the so called investment was made, workers
are still coming home on a dirt road and without electricity,
a village without a school, a city without a hospital,
or a country under crushing debt. We seek a better way, transparent,
(23:27):
high standard, open access investments to protect workers and the
rural law and the environment. It can't be done and
will be done, folks. The partnership between that goal in
the United States also extends to supporting peace and security
in this region and beyond. President Lorenzo and I want
(23:52):
to thank him for his leadership and mediation and regional conflicts.
Also want to thank him for end goals speaking out
against Russia's unprovoked war against Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It matters. It matters when leaders speak out ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
As you know, I'm in the final weeks of my presidency.
You don't have to collap for that. You can if
you want. But I wanted to come to Angola. Although
I've been chairman of the African Americas Subcommittee for a
long time, I had never made it to Angola because
although I don't know exactly what the future will hold,
I know the future runs through Angola, through Africa.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean it sincerely. This is not a joe. I'm
not kidding. And by the way, we're thirty six trillion
dollars in debt and he's got a billion dollars for them.
People in Chicago are begging for the resources and facilities
that have been taking with the overflow of illegal immigrants.
(24:53):
New York City is upside down with over two hundred
and forty thousand illegal immigrants since twenty twenty two, at
the tune of six point four billion dollars. You got
a Democrat mayor in New York saying I gotta work
with Donald Trump. We gotta talk deportation. This is unsustainable,
this is unaffordable. And there is your president hiding from
(25:18):
his pardon decision with a billion dollars in Africa, proclaiming
the future rolls through Angola, Africa and after his presidency
that may be true. It's your Morning Show with Michael
del Chano. Let's go to ames Iowa. We got a
(25:42):
talk pack ready for Mike.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
The thing about Biden helping slave read in Angola is
kind of ironic, isn't it. It's supposed to combat the
Chinese influence, wells, to help the Chinese with their influence,
enslaving children minors. It's really disgusting when you think about it. Oh,
very anyway, it's obvious he's out of it.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But what's he going to do before he leaves? Have
a good day? Yeah? That connection should be on everyone's
mind as they're holding their smartphone in their hand or
driving their EV vehicle. Yeah. And what he does next,
that's why we call it the Kamakazi presidency. That's what
we're really holding our breath. What does Joe Biden have
if the first act was to pardon himself, his brother,
(26:26):
and his son, what else does he have planned in
his final sixty days in office in a Kamakazi president.
I think it was Phoenix. Arizona's the next one. They're
so smart there, That's why I'm guessing Phoenix. But roll it.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
It's Carol, Carol, Michael, Carol and Wadell Arizona. My question
to you is, no one's been talking about Jill.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Doctor. Jill has been missing an action? Where could she be?
We were thank you, I will, we were talking off
the army and red. If you look at Kamala Harris
schedule or official vice presidential schedule, it just says meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting,
nothing specific. They're all in hiding. But the Jill part
(27:09):
is actually the strangest. Joe's in Africa heading back to DC,
Jill's heading with Donald Trump to Notre Dame, right, isn't
she so? I mean imagine where that could be added.
And meanwhile you have the citizens of Chicago begging for
their leaders to wake up on a legal immigration and
(27:31):
then in New York you got the mayor who gets
it and the people who don't. It's a crazy, crazy time.
But he colles over for McDonald. So we got that
going for us. All right, are we waiting on John Decker?
You look very official over there with whatever you're doing.
So we've been talking about this morning, this final race,
and it would have I think it would have been
(27:52):
almost a month to the day it took them to
count these votes. And now we have the final control
of the House. And while it is the Republicans, I
believe fifteen to two, twenty to two, fifteen plus five.
I think after cabinet positions are filled, it'll be closer
to plus two. But it's very close. But John Decker,
(28:14):
our White House correspondents here, what would take California so
long to determine house race that it was a month?
Speaker 13 (28:21):
Well, it was a very close race. There had to be,
as was mandated by California law, a recount that takes time,
and ultimately you have a winner. And it means that
as it relates to the thirteenth Congressional district in California,
Democrats managed to flip that seat, and as you point out,
it's a very narrow majority that Republicans will have in
(28:46):
the one hundred nineteenth Congress.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
All right, So one of the things is, you know,
you have all these questionable ballots and it could be
last name is wrong or first name is wrong, or
address is wrong, or signature doesn't match the name, and
then they're given I don't think given the opportunity to
go door to door and fix those and then count them.
That takes a lot of time, too, right.
Speaker 13 (29:07):
All of that takes time, absolutely, But what's done is done.
It's an official You don't want to discuss the nonsense
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
What's done is done, right, don't They flipped the seat
and that's a scoreboard fifteen, all right, so plus five
that really becomes plus three. Now for people driving to
work today wondering. All right, so if three of those
go to a cabinet.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
Position, actually, well, that's right, there are three members that
are leaving. They will resign their seats upon getting confirmed,
including a lease to Fanics has been named as the
new US Ambassador to the United Nations. And then, as
you point out, then it's two. But then also keep
in mind Matt Gigs easily thing Congress, so then it's
(29:48):
plus one. It's a one seat majority that Republicans will
have for probably the first.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Three months of the year, right, and then for those
seats that are vacated, special elections.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
Special elections exactly, and each state has rules for when
does special elections take place?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right, So what does bottom line? How does this
play out? What does bottom line?
Speaker 13 (30:13):
The bottom line is that Republicans have so little room
for error in terms of moving far with Donald Trump's
legislative agenda. Think about it, Isney, Michael. You have one
member who is sick, one member is COVID, one member
who is a family member who's sick, one member who
misses a plane or a train. It really can come
(30:36):
up the works into in terms of moving that legislative
agenda forward.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I guess what I was really kind of secretly asking,
and you know, I like to this is your time,
not mine. So, but like of the things that we
think that are coming from the border, to the economy,
to cutting spending or maybe deportation beyond those that have
committed crimes, what issues do you think where this narrow
margin could play a role.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
Well, you know, I think that Republicans are all online
in terms of all of those issues. You know, I mean,
I don't think you're going to get a Republican that
will disagree in terms of a legislation that will tighten
border security or legislation that would impose additional trade teriffs
on products coming into the US. But having said all that,
(31:20):
when you're talking about just one member, a one member
not being there, that you know, puts in doubt passage
of legislation on that particular day and could delay the
efforts to move forward with Donald Trump's legislative agenda.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right, John Decker, thanks for joining us, have a
great day. We'll talk again tomorrow. Yeah, Because my curiosity is,
I'm trying to think, to me, the most significant thing
would be, Okay, if you are down to really three,
which including Matt Gates could mean down to one a
one majority, that's going to be until the special elections
(31:56):
are done. But that would be the first hundred days.
And I think Donald Trump first and foremost gets a
second first hundred days. Had he been in concession, you
really don't you have a first hundred days in your
first term. Your second term, you almost don't even have that.
You're just almost a lame duck from the beginning. So
what historically makes this unique is the break and it's
changed Donald Trump, so he's gonna hit the ground running.
(32:18):
But if the answer is on the issues in the
first one hundred days. They have complete agreement, and Natty
Coli or COVID or something's going to keep them from voting.
I don't see what it's gonna stop. We're all in
this together. This is Your Morning Show with Michael nhild
