Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Gil, John Rise and Chide. Early Bird gets the.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Worm, Lazy scoln missus the nut every time. Thanks for
waking up with your morning show seven minutes after the hour,
and say hello on to Wednesday, December the fourth Hear
of Our Lord twenty twenty four. I'm Michael del Journal,
Jeffrey Lyons got the controls. Red's here producing as well.
This is morning show if you're just waking up. Donald
Trump might be thinking about replacing Pete Hegseth, and the
(01:05):
early rumors are being leaked that it will be. Governor
DeSantis from Florida went in doubt. The bullpen is certainly Florida. Meanwhile,
President elect Trump's legal team is demanding a judge dismiss
his New.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
York criminal case.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, says he'll
cooperate with Ice under certain circumstances to deport a legal immigrants.
He can't afford the six point four billion dollars the
two hundred and forty thousand illegals are costing his city.
It's more than he has for the number one priority
of his municipality, law enforcement, twice that of what it
costs for firefighters. And McDonald's announces, you deserve a break today,
(01:41):
and you have it. The A Coli outbreak is officially over.
By the way, can't have your morning show without your voice.
That's why we have the talk back button on your
iHeartRadio app. We got two back to back calls from Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Let's start with John.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
John Decker kept saying, what if one is sick or
how for then only no majority? Well what if that
one person that's sicker out is a Democrat, then it's
a two majority.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Before you get to the second one. Red.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Here's the part that doesn't mean if you're in control,
the speaker doesn't, and somebody's sick, the speaker wouldn't call
a vote that day.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
What do he wrapped?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, I mean, this is all nonsense. And plus, I
can't figure out the map. We had it at two
twenty two fifteen. That's after California just kept curing until
they rig the election and they flipped that final seat.
But okay, so it's plus five. Three were headed to cabinet.
But I thought that included Matt Gates. So leads them
with a net two. I don't know how it went
from three to from five to two, and then he
(02:48):
added the one with Gates. I thought that included Gates.
I still don't know if that's accurate.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I have Waltz, Stephanic and Gates.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, so it's still plus two, and if you had
if somebody was sick, you wouldn't call the vote that Plus,
I think the main things in the first one hundred
days are not going to be tight votes anyway. In fact,
you got a lot of Democrats that are starting to
get sensible. Their first member of doge who said, come on,
waste misspending, overspending that shouldn't be a part ofan issue.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
What's our second one? From Youngstown?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So I was watching a news story and a woman
was interviewing these illegal immigrants that had just come through
the border and said, how's it feel to be in America?
And through an interpreter, they said, Oh, well, we're so
happy we left all this corruption, we left all this crime,
we left all this poverty, we left all this chaos.
And she looked at him and through the interpreter, she said,
welcome home.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, there's a lot of them that preceded you, and
it brought all that with them.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, we were talking love.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Songs all day yesterday because we thought we were going
to have the chance to visit with author Annie Zeleski.
Annie is an award winning music journalist and she's out
with a new book, We Found Love Song by song.
This was one I nominated from us Love Song Ever,
Dave Loggins and Anne Murray and Nobody Loves Me Like You.
And then we kind of compiled the list of what
we thought were the best love songs that we wanted
(04:10):
to talk about, and then we miscalculated that Annie was
today and not yesterday, but She's finally here.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Good morning Annie, Good morning all right.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So we compiled our list among our listeners, we came
up with great songs like God Only Knows, Unchained Melody,
I pitched, Nobody Knows Me, Anne Murray, and.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Dave Loggins.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We had at last Eda James, I'll Always Love You,
Whitney Houston three that we felt pretty confident you probably
didn't cover Love Stinks two out of three, Ain't Bad
and Shook Me All Night Long, pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Sacred, Gussie.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But how did you select the one hundred songs that
you would kind of go through the history of It was.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Very difficult, you know.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So, like, like you said, some of those ones like
you know and Shane Melody I Will Always Love You.
I looked at kind of the love song totems, the
one that everyone is like absolutely, you know, if this
is not in the book, you know, I'm not buying
this book. So I started off with kind of the
most famous ones, and then from there I kind of
went and looked at, you know, let's let's have you know,
let's look at different styles, let's look at different decades.
(05:13):
You know, let's balance it out with some eighties you know,
movie power, ballads. Let's see some of the modern pop
love songs. What are some other classics that people might
have forgotten about to really kind of give a history
of love songs, you know, across the decades, so you
could really see how they evolved.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, that's what makes the journey so fun, right because
it's the it's the ones that don't come top of
mine as the listeners would come in with, like endless
Love or unchained Melody or godly Oh yeah, that one.
I always go back to the Dave Logins one with
Anne Murray because it gets to the bridge and I
love the wording of it. What if I never met you,
where would I be right now? I mean, that's the
(05:48):
chilling thought. I mean, there's great love songs that express
love better than we could express it like a Hallmark card.
But that's the one that stops me that if I
didn't meet my wife, I don't have my friend that
I got through all the hard times with, I don't
have my son, don't have my daughter.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I what if I never met you? It was such
a powerful one.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But it's gonna be subjective, but it's gonna be in
everybody's own own mind and based on their experience too.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Right, absolutely, you know, and I think over the years,
you know, maybe you relate to a love song differently
depending on the relationship you're in. You know, maybe when
you're a teenager, you relate to love songs because you're like, oh,
this is what I want to find. Maybe one day,
you know, I'll end up you know, you know, meeting
my true love. And then when you actually find it,
you know, you really you're living those songs. Then you
(06:27):
have a different relationship, and then heaven forbid, if the
relationship busts up, then love songs calls pain.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
So they ought to.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
You have to turn the radio off. For my son
just went through it. He got his heartbroken for the
first time. Mann, you know, so I had to, you know,
walk them through. Hey, look, it's always you're gonna remember
this the rest of your life. This is the worst
heard of them all, But guess what life moves on.
Just turn the radio off for.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
A little while.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Exactly, they will hunt you down like a posse in
an old West Andie's Alyski's out with a new book.
Song by song, it's I think a perfect stocking stuffer,
utifully illustrated. It's a Keepsake the fascinating history, behind the
scenes stories of the one hundred most popular and cherished
love songs.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Does one decade like you think of like.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The forties in the old Crooners, You know, I'm trying
to compare Eda James and at Last to the Beach
Boys to you know, but does one decade or style
of music seem to have the.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
High seeding when it comes to love songs?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You know, I will say the nineteen sixties had a
lot of love songs. You know, I could have probably
written a book that's like the one hundred best love
Songs of the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
You know, in general, you know, hint, just because you know,
you had at.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
The very start, you know, you had kind of the
holdover from the nineteen fifties, and so you've sort of
had the more they had the Drifters, You had Eda
James in nineteen sixty, you had Elvis, and then you know,
as a decade went on and the Beatles came in
and Motown came in, and then at the end of
you had rock and roll come in. In the late
sixties you had Soul at R and B really take off.
(07:59):
And so that decade you could really kind of trace
how music was evolving and just exploding, and you know,
and I think that time in general, you know, it's
because the nineteen sixties were so turbulent and there was
so much social change, and so I think people were
also kind of looking at love songs as well, and
you know, and kind of evolving the form at that point.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You know, the stories behind them, you know, I remember
Behind the Music was a great series on VH one
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, because that makes you know, that brings it all
to life.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
And whenever I visit with these people and we had
thirty eight special and Leonard skinnerd the Van's Ant Brothers
in studio a week ago and just talking about what
those songs meant to me and where how they fit
into the soundtrack of my life. But then the reverse
of it was to hear why they wrote it, where
(08:47):
they were at when they wrote it. These stories make
all the difference in the world. And so when you
find your favorite song in this book, you get the
story behind it right.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Absolutely, you know, and you know it was it was
so interesting because so many of these songs I have known,
you know, I've heard millions of times, and you know,
and I've you know, I've sung along with them in
the car or you know, been at the grocery store
and kind of been bop into them. And then actually
researching how do they come about? You know, why did
they come about? Was so illuminating, you know, because you
know that because a lot of them were surprising to me,
(09:17):
or a lot of them, you know, I had no
idea there was so much depth behind them, or I
had no idea there was conflict behind them, and so
it was fascinating.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
You know, it was wonderful research.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
It was It was a lot of fun too, kind
of figuring out, you know, how do I phrase this song?
Because you know, there's also a lot of the songs,
you know, and and they're and they're different. And I
think that was one of my other takeaways was that
even though you say their love songs, you know, not
all love songs are created equal. You know, some of them,
like you said, they take kind of different tactics, like
maybe you're taking the tactic of unrequited love. Maybe you're
(09:51):
just being very genuine and dedicated to someone. Maybe you're
you know, it's it's a wedding song. You know, there's
so many different ways to kind of approach your love song.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Maybe you're Benny Mardonis and she's just sixteen years old
and you're totally closing moments with Annie Siliski.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'm always in appropriate, are I? Annie? These are not
ranked in any order, right, correct?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
No, these are just kind of arranged chronologically, because boy,
if I ranked them, boy I would the hate mail
I'd probably get.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
You can't, you could not rank love songs.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I think, Well, then I won't ask you what I
want to ask you what.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Your favorite love song is? But what was your favorite
love song story?
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Oh, that's such a good question. So many of them,
I think, I'm trying to think there were so many
of them, you know, I do like I Got You
Babe by Sonny and Cher and just because you know,
they basically they wrote it on you know, it was
so early when they.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Were they were broke. It's just what the exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
They you know, had a really cheap piano and like,
you know, and Sonny made share it up in the
middle of the night and sing. He had this like inspiration,
you know, and they were sort of the you know,
kind of outcasts and putting the stuff together and so
and I love that and that really comes through in
the song where you know, you really got to sense of, Hey,
it's it's you and me against the world. You know,
we're taking it on. And I think that's such a
(11:04):
beautiful seting.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It was the centerpiece of their television show. It was
featured in every show. Uh. In fact, we'll probably go
down the most historic moment was singing it after all
the dysfunction and divorced decades later on David Letterman, Isn't
that funny?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
How love works?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
And that version I believe was you know, was not planned.
It was sort of improvised, which is just wild to me.
But they kind of slip back into those personas you know,
and you watch it now and it does kind of
give you chills knowing their backstory and what happened, And
it was the last time they ever sang it together,
which is poignant.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So you compile this book of song by song, how
people find love in these songs?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Tell these stories? What's next for you? Do we do that?
Should we do like dysfunctional songs?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Well, it's funny because in the book I do have
lists of things like love songs. You don't you know
that you know, misunderstood love songs or you'll break up songs,
so that. But I actually do have a book on
Share coming next year, kind of a celebration of her
life and career, everything from music and TV onward, to
her amazing catalog from the nineties, to her business dealings
(12:11):
to her philanthropy.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
So I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
You know the thing about Share, First of all, I
think the Sonny and Share show really kind of demonstrated it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The talent.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
This one could be a comedian, this one could be well,
she won an oscar as an actress. She could sing,
she could just do it all and manage kind of
like very few. Elton John could be another example that
to keep reinventing themselves decade after decade. It is a
fascinating life. And she is a very frank person too,
So I think you're going to have a lot of material.
But for right now, I make this my pick to
(12:43):
click stocking stuff for anyone that loves music.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We found Love Song by Song.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's a great book by award winning journalist Annie Zeleski.
I promise you will absolutely love these stories. These songs
will be more than ever and where can they get
the book, Annie.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
You can get it on retailer of your choice and
then also in select bookstores too, or have them order it.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I'd may be happy to.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
All right, God bless you on this effort, and we
appreciate you joining us.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, I always just cut to the chase Amazon dot com,
but I mean anywhere books are sold. Steve Johnson, former wrestler,
by the way, great musician. He brought up the Al
Stewart song to me the best song lyric of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress,
running like a watercolor in the rain. That's when you're
in the cat. That's a great one. The other one
I liked is Cat Stevens. If they were right, i'd agree.
But it's them they know, not me. There's been some great,
some great lyrics. Here's the one I would like to nominate,
going Out. We waited so long for that Annie interview.
(13:45):
How about Rita Coolidge. I think Chris Christopherson wrote this one. No,
Boss Gaggs wrote this. We're all Alone. That's yeah, there
you have it.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Our one hundred most romantic cats. Get that stocking stuffer.
Annie's a author of the book We found love song
by song. Eighteen minutes after the hour, we come back
to your top five stories of the day. Then Moray
gets the final story, what's all this chaos in South Korea?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
We'll have more when your Morning Show continues next.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I'm Orando Maths in Smyrna, Tennessee, and my morning show,
It's your Morning Show with Michael Dale Journal.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Your Morning Show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning to take
us along for the drive to work. But as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
for the podcast. So the minute they made it January
twenty fourteen through November of twenty twenty four and you
know he took the job with Barisma.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
In April of twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
That tells you what this is really about, and that
is what disproves the narrative that you're in your good
heart and mind. And by the way, even as a father,
who I love my son as much as you love yours,
my son broke the law, I would love him the
exact same, but I would not pardon him. I have
(15:31):
taught my son there is right and there is wrong,
and there is law, and there is breaking the law,
and there is consequence for all of that. You got
a speeding ticke, I've told him, at your age, being
a boy, you get a speeding ticket, you're not gonna
be able to afford your car insurance. You won't be
(15:51):
driving for a while. And I wouldn't say that. And
then when he did, all right, I'll pay it and
then expect him to learn from that. So it's not
much about your call I agree with. But don't forget
the essence of this story. The big guy used his
son a decade ago to sell his vice presidential influence
(16:16):
and position to other enemy countries, and they lined each
other's pockets. He didn't parton his son, he was partoning himself.
This wasn't a panic pardon of a father. This was
a pardon me and my brother ultimately stunk way worse
(16:37):
than that. Oh Saint Louis, you're not supposed to have
favorite affiliates and favorite cities or favorite children, love that town.
Don't appreciate that call. We had another talk back, but
what was the other one?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know if you want to hear it or not,
but here it comes. We got a thing that's called
right Hollo.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
This is my morning show in your morning shoe on
Michael Dell Jorno bringing you.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
It was great song. Radar long. Please don't drink and
talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I don't think that's red bull, but that you know
what that reminds me of. Kevin Raider was our center fielder.
I used to play second base. I was a catcher
till my freshman year of high school, and then we
had an all state catcher, so they moved me to
second base. The all state catcher was my brother Vic,
which is a great story. Freshman year I started varsity baseball.
(17:32):
I was at second base, my middle brother Bobby was
at first base, and my brother was behind the plate.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
How unique is that? That is crazy?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But when I switched schools and went to a baseball
powerhouse school, I got bumped for second place in the
outfield because a shrimpy was Darren Quick is great second basement,
So I was in right field, and were you like
recruited Kevin Raider. No, our school closed and then I
chose the one of the most people went to. But
Kevin Rader be in the outfield. I mean, there'd be
(18:00):
like a line drive between us, and he'd run it down.
He's just so tiny and so fast, and he makes
like a great catch and as he's throwing the ball
into the infidel, I'd be going read because his name
was Kevin Raider. But it's not as good as whatever
you're drinking makes it sound right if you're just waking up.
One quick point today that we wanted to make, and
(18:20):
that is there are You are certainly entitled an opinion,
and you know what, You have a right to both
of them, and in most cases you should keep him
to yourself. But no, you're entitled by our heavenly Father,
who gives us free will, and by our founding fathers,
who gave no compulsion to morals and faith. You have
(18:43):
religious freedom, including the freedom not to believe, so everybody
can have their own worldview.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And we've kind of.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Replaced a biblical worldview with a moral relativistic, which is
a theory worldview. Whatever is right in my mind is right. Well,
that doesn't work work the minute you have more than
one person. In fact, that fails the minut you have
two people on a bridge. Because what if your moral
what is right in your mind is this bridge is mine,
(19:10):
I'm going to throw you off at and drown you. See,
anybody can have any individual worldview and it'll work or
not work for them. But when we collectively have to live,
that's where the Declaration of Independence should never be forgotten
as our inspiration, the Constitution, as our roadmap in this
(19:31):
experiment of liberty and freedom. So having said all that,
not all world views are the same and some are
not affordable. So you have narratives, and you have agendas,
and you have worldviews that sell you these narratives. But
at the end of the day, for the City of
New York, it's resulted in two hundred and forty thousand
(19:53):
illegals since twenty twenty two, and that's a cost of
six point four billion dollars. So you have the Mayor
of New York City because think about this, if we
didn't have the electoral College, if we didn't have the
brilliant foresight of our founding fathers over our ignorance and reality. Today,
New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago would elect every president.
(20:16):
Could you find three cities more in trouble culturally financially well,
New York is the biggest, and the price tag is
six point four billion dollars. And Mayor Adams is saying
this administration has hurt the future of New York City.
And when people hear me say six point four billion dollars,
they may say, ah, it's a billion. Heare of billion there, No,
(20:41):
it's six point four billion gone, equal to our entire
budget for law enforcement, which is the number one priority
of municipal government, double that of firefighters. It's synonymous with
New York City after nine eleven. But then he drives
home the point, it's what we didn't have to invest.
(21:05):
In other words, there's a sin of commission six point
four billion for illegals that shouldn't be here. But then
the sin of a mission or that six point four
billion would have gone to seniors, to young people. Here's
the mayor in New York City saying we should all
be angry at what happened to our city under this administration.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
The twenty two million.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Dollars for Metro cards for seventy five thousand summer youth
employment participants never happened. The thirty nine point two million
dollars on summer rising extended hours for thirty thousand children
gone never happened. Six hundred million for two thousand guidance
counselors and social workers in schools never happened. Four hundred
million dollars on community schools to handle the chronic absenteeism
(21:50):
never happened. And then he went on to vow to
work where the new Trump boarders are on deportation quote,
I would love to sit down with the borders are
and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address
those that are harming our citizens, finding out what his
plans are, where a common ground can exist, where we
(22:13):
can work together. Now, while that's happening in New York,
a mayor begging his people to acknowledge how a party
has failed them, how an administration has failed them and
cost them six point four billion dollars, and begging them
you should be angry. In Chicago, the third largest city,
(22:37):
you have the people talking to the mayor. They're angry,
and the mayor doesn't get it. The reverse of that,
I mean a tale of two cities.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Listen, you and all these democriting mayors out here and
governors y'all talking about crashing out. But these illegals, right,
you also there say it? You not allow Trump to
come in.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Here and get these illegals were coming with them seats.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And we are and we are.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Are you so strong about protecting those aliens?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
But you won't do nothing but a US citizens?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean, just an no wild moment.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Thank God for the electoral college, right, I mean, wasn't
that the problem in the general election?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The narratives, the agendas, the policies of these failed cities
and states you want to be the policies of this nation.
Donald Trump is headed to the White House. Republicans have
control of the House in the Senate. But there's something
even bigger brewing. By the way, all those people you
heard talking in Chicago wearing red shirts that said Chicago
(23:53):
turns Red? Is there something bigger at play in the
fall of New York City and Chicago and the inability
for one party to realize their worldview has failed. It's unaffordable,
it's unsafe, and it's not a clear and present danger.
(24:16):
It's already a destructive force in our major cities. And
let me end on this note to Governor Abbot of
Texas perhaps the most significant brilliant political move of my
lifetime when he started sending the because nobody cared about
this issue when it was a border state, border city problem,
and he started moving them to the Hamptons, to New York.
(24:40):
And then the Democrats just started bypassing that and doing
it directly, flying them in, busting them in, training them
in directly to these cities, and they destroyed their own cities,
they destroyed their own party, and the issue blew up
in their face. None of this happens unless Abbot makes
that first move. Pretty brilliant stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael deltona.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Suffered not Rory O'Neil unto the when he gets here.
In the meantime, Donald Trump might be thinking about replacing
his nomination for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. I mean, the
biggest rumors that we covered this morning. Someone say, like
a canary at Fox News gonna be britt him. It
seems seems to be. It was striking a good tellen
(25:29):
was the alcohol of acne medication on Brett Baer or
somebody was drinking. So the drinking allegations at Fox from leakers. Uh,
there's been a lot of allegations towards Pete Hegseth. And
I don't know if Donald Trump's ready to punt like
he was with Matt Gates, but rumors are swirling He's
turning to Governor DeSantis in Florida potentially to be the
replacement for Defense secretary.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
As that negotiation continues.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Joe Manchins gives his farewell to West Virginia, said it
was the honor of his life to serve the people
in the United States. Senate donald' zy cole lay outbreak
is over. That's breaking news today because I ate there
a week ago. Someone would have told me that sooner.
And we just did the Tale of two cities Chicago
and New York. Mayor Eric Adams in New York City
saying he'll cooperate with Ice under certain circumstances to deport illegals.
(26:16):
At six point four billion dollars, it's a quarter of
a million illegals. What this administration has done to the
City of New York is irreparable and the people should
be angry. I mean he was very outspoken during the election.
But I mean, just through the Biden administration to the
curb yesterday. Meanwhile in Chicago, the people get it, but
(26:36):
the mayor doesn't, a mayor who's approval rating is down
fifteen percent. And there's political chaos in South Korea after
its president declared martial law. How does this impact the
US economy? How does this impact North Korea and the
future of South Korea? Roory O'Neil is he here, somebody's
got to tell me this stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I can't read minds over here. Good morning, I'm here here, Well,
I'm I was well.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Plus, you know, the Desantra stuff has all got everyone
swirling down here, So start with that.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Because why is Florida is the official bullpen, isn't it?
I mean, if the manager comes to the mound, he's
going to raise a hand to Florida.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
It seems, well, you know, the president elect is a
Florida guy, so he's just reaching to what's closest to
him and the people he knows. And there was tragedically,
there was a three officers from West Palm Beach area
were killed, and the President elect, Troump and Governor DeSantis
were seated next to each other at some of those
services yesterday. I think that might have given them a
chance to chat. You wonder if there's a quid pro quo,
(27:43):
you know, you make Laura Trump the next US senator
from Florida, I'll make you sectef. You know, that could
be out there if DeSantis wants it, because his options
are pretty.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Limited at this point. So it's a it's interesting out there.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, we remember we have this conversation, we got to
talk about the future that were publican party which we
don't know yet. It seems to be trump Ism to
some degree, and that has to play out, and who
might it be. Desantans was always at the top of
that list, So is Marco Rubio, and so now in
the driver's seat is jd Vance in terms of being
next in line. But if all the things we would
(28:18):
have considered for DeSantis, the secretary of State or a
defense secretary wherever would have come up.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
No.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
But when you consider look at how much time he
spent in Iowa talking about this woke agenda and trying
to and.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Dei over No.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I mean those were big parts of his campaign, which
is exactly what Hexset wanted to Also do in the military,
and you know Presidential Act Trump has said he wants
to get that stuff as were out of the military.
So DeSantis may have the credentials, probably better credentials than
except for this job.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It's a management look.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
It's a management executive position, except doesn't have that much.
I mean, DeSantis has been governor of the third largest state,
you know, in addition having prior military service, prior service
in Congress, so he knows his way around.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But on paper much more ideal candidate. It looks like
he Seth is going to go the way a mad
kate though, right, we all in agreement there.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Look, yeah, when you're talking these misconduct allegations, it's yeah,
you suddenly become radioactive.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Roy o'nil joining us with our final story, let's talk
about the chaos. So the South Korean they call for
martial law, the people revolt. Where does all this stand.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Yeah, they are marching on the President's house as we
speak right now, trying to get into resign. The parliament
there is taking the steps toward impeachment, which could happen
by the end of the week. The president, when declaring
martial law said this was North Korean influence on some
of these liberal groups democratic groups there that are trying
to remove him. That led to the martial law. Parliament
(29:52):
then reversed him on that, so it's been topsy turvy.
But look, they're an important training partner, home of Samsung
LG day Kia. There's a lot of American ties there,
plus thirty thousand American troops are there.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And the only thing between the darkest of insanity North Korea,
there's South Korea. Where we were used to North Korea
being broke, unstable and non peaceful. We're not used to
South Korea.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Being that way. So we'll keep our eye on that one.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
All right, A good fifty year run, the last fifty years,
and we'll hope that's well. You know, they had their
own dictator problems in the eighties and got around that
through it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, Today flew by, I guess for Jeffrey and
for Red, it didn't necessarily fly for me. Love the talkbacks.
I love it when you're the star of your morning show. Anyway,
One chance to live Today Wednesday, December the fourth, Go
make a difference in someone's life that you are in
control of.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del Chono,
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Gil, John Rise and Chide. Early Bird gets the.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Worm, Lazy scoln missus the nut every time. Thanks for
waking up with your morning show seven minutes after the hour,
and say hello on to Wednesday, December the fourth Hear
of Our Lord twenty twenty four. I'm Michael del Journal,
Jeffrey Lyons got the controls. Red's here producing as well.
This is morning show if you're just waking up. Donald
Trump might be thinking about replacing Pete Hegseth, and the
(01:05):
early rumors are being leaked that it will be. Governor
DeSantis from Florida went in doubt. The bullpen is certainly Florida. Meanwhile,
President elect Trump's legal team is demanding a judge dismiss
his New.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
York criminal case.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, says he'll
cooperate with Ice under certain circumstances to deport a legal immigrants.
He can't afford the six point four billion dollars the
two hundred and forty thousand illegals are costing his city.
It's more than he has for the number one priority
of his municipality, law enforcement, twice that of what it
costs for firefighters. And McDonald's announces, you deserve a break today,
(01:41):
and you have it. The A Coli outbreak is officially over.
By the way, can't have your morning show without your voice.
That's why we have the talk back button on your
iHeartRadio app. We got two back to back calls from Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Let's start with John.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
John Decker kept saying, what if one is sick or
how for then only no majority? Well what if that
one person that's sicker out is a Democrat, then it's
a two majority.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Before you get to the second one. Red.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Here's the part that doesn't mean if you're in control,
the speaker doesn't, and somebody's sick, the speaker wouldn't call
a vote that day.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
What do he wrapped?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, I mean, this is all nonsense. And plus, I
can't figure out the map. We had it at two
twenty two fifteen. That's after California just kept curing until
they rig the election and they flipped that final seat.
But okay, so it's plus five. Three were headed to cabinet.
But I thought that included Matt Gates. So leads them
with a net two. I don't know how it went
from three to from five to two, and then he
(02:48):
added the one with Gates. I thought that included Gates.
I still don't know if that's accurate.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I have Waltz, Stephanic and Gates.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, so it's still plus two, and if you had
if somebody was sick, you wouldn't call the vote that Plus,
I think the main things in the first one hundred
days are not going to be tight votes anyway. In fact,
you got a lot of Democrats that are starting to
get sensible. Their first member of doge who said, come on,
waste misspending, overspending that shouldn't be a part ofan issue.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
What's our second one? From Youngstown?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So I was watching a news story and a woman
was interviewing these illegal immigrants that had just come through
the border and said, how's it feel to be in America?
And through an interpreter, they said, Oh, well, we're so
happy we left all this corruption, we left all this crime,
we left all this poverty, we left all this chaos.
And she looked at him and through the interpreter, she said,
welcome home.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, there's a lot of them that preceded you, and
it brought all that with them.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, we were talking love.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Songs all day yesterday because we thought we were going
to have the chance to visit with author Annie Zeleski.
Annie is an award winning music journalist and she's out
with a new book, We Found Love Song by song.
This was one I nominated from us Love Song Ever,
Dave Loggins and Anne Murray and Nobody Loves Me Like You.
And then we kind of compiled the list of what
we thought were the best love songs that we wanted
(04:10):
to talk about, and then we miscalculated that Annie was
today and not yesterday, but She's finally here.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Good morning Annie, Good morning all right.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So we compiled our list among our listeners, we came
up with great songs like God Only Knows, Unchained Melody,
I pitched, Nobody Knows Me, Anne Murray, and.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Dave Loggins.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We had at last Eda James, I'll Always Love You,
Whitney Houston three that we felt pretty confident you probably
didn't cover Love Stinks two out of three, Ain't Bad
and Shook Me All Night Long, pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Sacred, Gussie.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But how did you select the one hundred songs that
you would kind of go through the history of It was.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Very difficult, you know.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So, like, like you said, some of those ones like
you know and Shane Melody I Will Always Love You.
I looked at kind of the love song totems, the
one that everyone is like absolutely, you know, if this
is not in the book, you know, I'm not buying
this book. So I started off with kind of the
most famous ones, and then from there I kind of
went and looked at, you know, let's let's have you know,
let's look at different styles, let's look at different decades.
(05:13):
You know, let's balance it out with some eighties you know,
movie power, ballads. Let's see some of the modern pop
love songs. What are some other classics that people might
have forgotten about to really kind of give a history
of love songs, you know, across the decades, so you
could really see how they evolved.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, that's what makes the journey so fun, right because
it's the it's the ones that don't come top of
mine as the listeners would come in with, like endless
Love or unchained Melody or godly Oh yeah, that one.
I always go back to the Dave Logins one with
Anne Murray because it gets to the bridge and I
love the wording of it. What if I never met you,
where would I be right now? I mean, that's the
(05:48):
chilling thought. I mean, there's great love songs that express
love better than we could express it like a Hallmark card.
But that's the one that stops me that if I
didn't meet my wife, I don't have my friend that
I got through all the hard times with, I don't
have my son, don't have my daughter.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I what if I never met you? It was such
a powerful one.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But it's gonna be subjective, but it's gonna be in
everybody's own own mind and based on their experience too.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Right, absolutely, you know, and I think over the years,
you know, maybe you relate to a love song differently
depending on the relationship you're in. You know, maybe when
you're a teenager, you relate to love songs because you're like, oh,
this is what I want to find. Maybe one day,
you know, I'll end up you know, you know, meeting
my true love. And then when you actually find it,
you know, you really you're living those songs. Then you
(06:27):
have a different relationship, and then heaven forbid, if the
relationship busts up, then love songs calls pain.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
So they ought to.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
You have to turn the radio off. For my son
just went through it. He got his heartbroken for the
first time. Mann, you know, so I had to, you know,
walk them through. Hey, look, it's always you're gonna remember
this the rest of your life. This is the worst
heard of them all, But guess what life moves on.
Just turn the radio off for.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
A little while.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Exactly, they will hunt you down like a posse in
an old West Andie's Alyski's out with a new book.
Song by song, it's I think a perfect stocking stuffer,
utifully illustrated. It's a Keepsake the fascinating history, behind the
scenes stories of the one hundred most popular and cherished
love songs.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Does one decade like you think of like.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The forties in the old Crooners, You know, I'm trying
to compare Eda James and at Last to the Beach
Boys to you know, but does one decade or style
of music seem to have the.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
High seeding when it comes to love songs?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You know, I will say the nineteen sixties had a
lot of love songs. You know, I could have probably
written a book that's like the one hundred best love
Songs of the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
You know, in general, you know, hint, just because you know,
you had at.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
The very start, you know, you had kind of the
holdover from the nineteen fifties, and so you've sort of
had the more they had the Drifters, You had Eda
James in nineteen sixty, you had Elvis, and then you know,
as a decade went on and the Beatles came in
and Motown came in, and then at the end of
you had rock and roll come in. In the late
sixties you had Soul at R and B really take off.
(07:59):
And so that decade you could really kind of trace
how music was evolving and just exploding, and you know,
and I think that time in general, you know, it's
because the nineteen sixties were so turbulent and there was
so much social change, and so I think people were
also kind of looking at love songs as well, and
you know, and kind of evolving the form at that point.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You know, the stories behind them, you know, I remember
Behind the Music was a great series on VH one
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, because that makes you know, that brings it all
to life.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
And whenever I visit with these people and we had
thirty eight special and Leonard skinnerd the Van's Ant Brothers
in studio a week ago and just talking about what
those songs meant to me and where how they fit
into the soundtrack of my life. But then the reverse
of it was to hear why they wrote it, where
(08:47):
they were at when they wrote it. These stories make
all the difference in the world. And so when you
find your favorite song in this book, you get the
story behind it right.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Absolutely, you know, and you know it was it was
so interesting because so many of these songs I have known,
you know, I've heard millions of times, and you know,
and I've you know, I've sung along with them in
the car or you know, been at the grocery store
and kind of been bop into them. And then actually
researching how do they come about? You know, why did
they come about? Was so illuminating, you know, because you
know that because a lot of them were surprising to me,
(09:17):
or a lot of them, you know, I had no
idea there was so much depth behind them, or I
had no idea there was conflict behind them, and so
it was fascinating.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
You know, it was wonderful research.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
It was It was a lot of fun too, kind
of figuring out, you know, how do I phrase this song?
Because you know, there's also a lot of the songs,
you know, and and they're and they're different. And I
think that was one of my other takeaways was that
even though you say their love songs, you know, not
all love songs are created equal. You know, some of them,
like you said, they take kind of different tactics, like
maybe you're taking the tactic of unrequited love. Maybe you're
(09:51):
just being very genuine and dedicated to someone. Maybe you're
you know, it's it's a wedding song. You know, there's
so many different ways to kind of approach your love song.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Maybe you're Benny Mardonis and she's just sixteen years old
and you're totally closing moments with Annie Siliski.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'm always in appropriate, are I? Annie? These are not
ranked in any order, right, correct?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
No, these are just kind of arranged chronologically, because boy,
if I ranked them, boy I would the hate mail
I'd probably get.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
You can't, you could not rank love songs.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I think, Well, then I won't ask you what I
want to ask you what.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Your favorite love song is? But what was your favorite
love song story?
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Oh, that's such a good question. So many of them,
I think, I'm trying to think there were so many
of them, you know, I do like I Got You
Babe by Sonny and Cher and just because you know,
they basically they wrote it on you know, it was
so early when they.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Were they were broke. It's just what the exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
They you know, had a really cheap piano and like,
you know, and Sonny made share it up in the
middle of the night and sing. He had this like inspiration,
you know, and they were sort of the you know,
kind of outcasts and putting the stuff together and so
and I love that and that really comes through in
the song where you know, you really got to sense of, Hey,
it's it's you and me against the world. You know,
we're taking it on. And I think that's such a
(11:04):
beautiful seting.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It was the centerpiece of their television show. It was
featured in every show. Uh. In fact, we'll probably go
down the most historic moment was singing it after all
the dysfunction and divorced decades later on David Letterman, Isn't
that funny?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
How love works?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
And that version I believe was you know, was not planned.
It was sort of improvised, which is just wild to me.
But they kind of slip back into those personas you know,
and you watch it now and it does kind of
give you chills knowing their backstory and what happened, And
it was the last time they ever sang it together,
which is poignant.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So you compile this book of song by song, how
people find love in these songs?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Tell these stories? What's next for you? Do we do that?
Should we do like dysfunctional songs?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Well, it's funny because in the book I do have
lists of things like love songs. You don't you know
that you know, misunderstood love songs or you'll break up songs,
so that. But I actually do have a book on
Share coming next year, kind of a celebration of her
life and career, everything from music and TV onward, to
her amazing catalog from the nineties, to her business dealings
(12:11):
to her philanthropy.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
So I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
You know the thing about Share, First of all, I
think the Sonny and Share show really kind of demonstrated it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The talent.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
This one could be a comedian, this one could be well,
she won an oscar as an actress. She could sing,
she could just do it all and manage kind of
like very few. Elton John could be another example that
to keep reinventing themselves decade after decade. It is a
fascinating life. And she is a very frank person too,
So I think you're going to have a lot of material.
But for right now, I make this my pick to
(12:43):
click stocking stuff for anyone that loves music.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We found Love Song by Song.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's a great book by award winning journalist Annie Zeleski.
I promise you will absolutely love these stories. These songs
will be more than ever and where can they get
the book, Annie.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
You can get it on retailer of your choice and
then also in select bookstores too, or have them order it.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I'd may be happy to.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
All right, God bless you on this effort, and we
appreciate you joining us.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, I always just cut to the chase Amazon dot com,
but I mean anywhere books are sold. Steve Johnson, former wrestler,
by the way, great musician. He brought up the Al
Stewart song to me the best song lyric of all time.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress,
running like a watercolor in the rain. That's when you're
in the cat. That's a great one. The other one
I liked is Cat Stevens. If they were right, i'd agree.
But it's them they know, not me. There's been some great,
some great lyrics. Here's the one I would like to nominate,
going Out. We waited so long for that Annie interview.
(13:45):
How about Rita Coolidge. I think Chris Christopherson wrote this one. No,
Boss Gaggs wrote this. We're all Alone. That's yeah, there
you have it.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Our one hundred most romantic cats. Get that stocking stuffer.
Annie's a author of the book We found love song
by song. Eighteen minutes after the hour, we come back
to your top five stories of the day. Then Moray
gets the final story, what's all this chaos in South Korea?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
We'll have more when your Morning Show continues next.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I'm Orando Maths in Smyrna, Tennessee, and my morning show,
It's your Morning Show with Michael Dale Journal.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Your Morning Show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning to take
us along for the drive to work. But as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
for the podcast. So the minute they made it January
twenty fourteen through November of twenty twenty four and you
know he took the job with Barisma.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
In April of twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
That tells you what this is really about, and that
is what disproves the narrative that you're in your good
heart and mind. And by the way, even as a father,
who I love my son as much as you love yours,
my son broke the law, I would love him the
exact same, but I would not pardon him. I have
(15:31):
taught my son there is right and there is wrong,
and there is law, and there is breaking the law,
and there is consequence for all of that. You got
a speeding ticke, I've told him, at your age, being
a boy, you get a speeding ticket, you're not gonna
be able to afford your car insurance. You won't be
(15:51):
driving for a while. And I wouldn't say that. And
then when he did, all right, I'll pay it and
then expect him to learn from that. So it's not
much about your call I agree with. But don't forget
the essence of this story. The big guy used his
son a decade ago to sell his vice presidential influence
(16:16):
and position to other enemy countries, and they lined each
other's pockets. He didn't parton his son, he was partoning himself.
This wasn't a panic pardon of a father. This was
a pardon me and my brother ultimately stunk way worse
(16:37):
than that. Oh Saint Louis, you're not supposed to have
favorite affiliates and favorite cities or favorite children, love that town.
Don't appreciate that call. We had another talk back, but
what was the other one?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know if you want to hear it or not,
but here it comes. We got a thing that's called
right Hollo.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
This is my morning show in your morning shoe on
Michael Dell Jorno bringing you.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
It was great song. Radar long. Please don't drink and
talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I don't think that's red bull, but that you know
what that reminds me of. Kevin Raider was our center fielder.
I used to play second base. I was a catcher
till my freshman year of high school, and then we
had an all state catcher, so they moved me to
second base. The all state catcher was my brother Vic,
which is a great story. Freshman year I started varsity baseball.
(17:32):
I was at second base, my middle brother Bobby was
at first base, and my brother was behind the plate.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
How unique is that? That is crazy?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But when I switched schools and went to a baseball
powerhouse school, I got bumped for second place in the
outfield because a shrimpy was Darren Quick is great second basement,
So I was in right field, and were you like
recruited Kevin Raider. No, our school closed and then I
chose the one of the most people went to. But
Kevin Rader be in the outfield. I mean, there'd be
(18:00):
like a line drive between us, and he'd run it down.
He's just so tiny and so fast, and he makes
like a great catch and as he's throwing the ball
into the infidel, I'd be going read because his name
was Kevin Raider. But it's not as good as whatever
you're drinking makes it sound right if you're just waking up.
One quick point today that we wanted to make, and
(18:20):
that is there are You are certainly entitled an opinion,
and you know what, You have a right to both
of them, and in most cases you should keep him
to yourself. But no, you're entitled by our heavenly Father,
who gives us free will, and by our founding fathers,
who gave no compulsion to morals and faith. You have
(18:43):
religious freedom, including the freedom not to believe, so everybody
can have their own worldview.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And we've kind of.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Replaced a biblical worldview with a moral relativistic, which is
a theory worldview. Whatever is right in my mind is right. Well,
that doesn't work work the minute you have more than
one person. In fact, that fails the minut you have
two people on a bridge. Because what if your moral
what is right in your mind is this bridge is mine,
(19:10):
I'm going to throw you off at and drown you. See,
anybody can have any individual worldview and it'll work or
not work for them. But when we collectively have to live,
that's where the Declaration of Independence should never be forgotten
as our inspiration, the Constitution, as our roadmap in this
(19:31):
experiment of liberty and freedom. So having said all that,
not all world views are the same and some are
not affordable. So you have narratives, and you have agendas,
and you have worldviews that sell you these narratives. But
at the end of the day, for the City of
New York, it's resulted in two hundred and forty thousand
(19:53):
illegals since twenty twenty two, and that's a cost of
six point four billion dollars. So you have the Mayor
of New York City because think about this, if we
didn't have the electoral College, if we didn't have the
brilliant foresight of our founding fathers over our ignorance and reality. Today,
New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago would elect every president.
(20:16):
Could you find three cities more in trouble culturally financially well,
New York is the biggest, and the price tag is
six point four billion dollars. And Mayor Adams is saying
this administration has hurt the future of New York City.
And when people hear me say six point four billion dollars,
they may say, ah, it's a billion. Heare of billion there, No,
(20:41):
it's six point four billion gone, equal to our entire
budget for law enforcement, which is the number one priority
of municipal government, double that of firefighters. It's synonymous with
New York City after nine eleven. But then he drives
home the point, it's what we didn't have to invest.
(21:05):
In other words, there's a sin of commission six point
four billion for illegals that shouldn't be here. But then
the sin of a mission or that six point four
billion would have gone to seniors, to young people. Here's
the mayor in New York City saying we should all
be angry at what happened to our city under this administration.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
The twenty two million.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Dollars for Metro cards for seventy five thousand summer youth
employment participants never happened. The thirty nine point two million
dollars on summer rising extended hours for thirty thousand children
gone never happened. Six hundred million for two thousand guidance
counselors and social workers in schools never happened. Four hundred
million dollars on community schools to handle the chronic absenteeism
(21:50):
never happened. And then he went on to vow to
work where the new Trump boarders are on deportation quote,
I would love to sit down with the borders are
and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address
those that are harming our citizens, finding out what his
plans are, where a common ground can exist, where we
(22:13):
can work together. Now, while that's happening in New York,
a mayor begging his people to acknowledge how a party
has failed them, how an administration has failed them and
cost them six point four billion dollars, and begging them
you should be angry. In Chicago, the third largest city,
(22:37):
you have the people talking to the mayor. They're angry,
and the mayor doesn't get it. The reverse of that,
I mean a tale of two cities.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Listen, you and all these democriting mayors out here and
governors y'all talking about crashing out. But these illegals, right,
you also there say it? You not allow Trump to
come in.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Here and get these illegals were coming with them seats.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And we are and we are.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Are you so strong about protecting those aliens?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
But you won't do nothing but a US citizens?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean, just an no wild moment.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Thank God for the electoral college, right, I mean, wasn't
that the problem in the general election?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The narratives, the agendas, the policies of these failed cities
and states you want to be the policies of this nation.
Donald Trump is headed to the White House. Republicans have
control of the House in the Senate. But there's something
even bigger brewing. By the way, all those people you
heard talking in Chicago wearing red shirts that said Chicago
(23:53):
turns Red? Is there something bigger at play in the
fall of New York City and Chicago and the inability
for one party to realize their worldview has failed. It's unaffordable,
it's unsafe, and it's not a clear and present danger.
(24:16):
It's already a destructive force in our major cities. And
let me end on this note to Governor Abbot of
Texas perhaps the most significant brilliant political move of my
lifetime when he started sending the because nobody cared about
this issue when it was a border state, border city problem,
and he started moving them to the Hamptons, to New York.
(24:40):
And then the Democrats just started bypassing that and doing
it directly, flying them in, busting them in, training them
in directly to these cities, and they destroyed their own cities,
they destroyed their own party, and the issue blew up
in their face. None of this happens unless Abbot makes
that first move. Pretty brilliant stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael deltona.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Suffered not Rory O'Neil unto the when he gets here.
In the meantime, Donald Trump might be thinking about replacing
his nomination for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. I mean, the
biggest rumors that we covered this morning. Someone say, like
a canary at Fox News gonna be britt him. It
seems seems to be. It was striking a good tellen
(25:29):
was the alcohol of acne medication on Brett Baer or
somebody was drinking. So the drinking allegations at Fox from leakers. Uh,
there's been a lot of allegations towards Pete Hegseth. And
I don't know if Donald Trump's ready to punt like
he was with Matt Gates, but rumors are swirling He's
turning to Governor DeSantis in Florida potentially to be the
replacement for Defense secretary.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
As that negotiation continues.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Joe Manchins gives his farewell to West Virginia, said it
was the honor of his life to serve the people
in the United States. Senate donald' zy cole lay outbreak
is over. That's breaking news today because I ate there
a week ago. Someone would have told me that sooner.
And we just did the Tale of two cities Chicago
and New York. Mayor Eric Adams in New York City
saying he'll cooperate with Ice under certain circumstances to deport illegals.
(26:16):
At six point four billion dollars, it's a quarter of
a million illegals. What this administration has done to the
City of New York is irreparable and the people should
be angry. I mean he was very outspoken during the election.
But I mean, just through the Biden administration to the
curb yesterday. Meanwhile in Chicago, the people get it, but
(26:36):
the mayor doesn't, a mayor who's approval rating is down
fifteen percent. And there's political chaos in South Korea after
its president declared martial law. How does this impact the
US economy? How does this impact North Korea and the
future of South Korea? Roory O'Neil is he here, somebody's
got to tell me this stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I can't read minds over here. Good morning, I'm here here, Well,
I'm I was well.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Plus, you know, the Desantra stuff has all got everyone
swirling down here, So start with that.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Because why is Florida is the official bullpen, isn't it?
I mean, if the manager comes to the mound, he's
going to raise a hand to Florida.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
It seems, well, you know, the president elect is a
Florida guy, so he's just reaching to what's closest to
him and the people he knows. And there was tragedically,
there was a three officers from West Palm Beach area
were killed, and the President elect, Troump and Governor DeSantis
were seated next to each other at some of those
services yesterday. I think that might have given them a
chance to chat. You wonder if there's a quid pro quo,
(27:43):
you know, you make Laura Trump the next US senator
from Florida, I'll make you sectef. You know, that could
be out there if DeSantis wants it, because his options
are pretty.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Limited at this point. So it's a it's interesting out there.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, we remember we have this conversation, we got to
talk about the future that were publican party which we
don't know yet. It seems to be trump Ism to
some degree, and that has to play out, and who
might it be. Desantans was always at the top of
that list, So is Marco Rubio, and so now in
the driver's seat is jd Vance in terms of being
next in line. But if all the things we would
(28:18):
have considered for DeSantis, the secretary of State or a
defense secretary wherever would have come up.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
No.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
But when you consider look at how much time he
spent in Iowa talking about this woke agenda and trying
to and.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Dei over No.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I mean those were big parts of his campaign, which
is exactly what Hexset wanted to Also do in the military,
and you know Presidential Act Trump has said he wants
to get that stuff as were out of the military.
So DeSantis may have the credentials, probably better credentials than
except for this job.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It's a management look.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
It's a management executive position, except doesn't have that much.
I mean, DeSantis has been governor of the third largest state,
you know, in addition having prior military service, prior service
in Congress, so he knows his way around.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But on paper much more ideal candidate. It looks like
he Seth is going to go the way a mad
kate though, right, we all in agreement there.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Look, yeah, when you're talking these misconduct allegations, it's yeah,
you suddenly become radioactive.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Roy o'nil joining us with our final story, let's talk
about the chaos. So the South Korean they call for
martial law, the people revolt. Where does all this stand.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Yeah, they are marching on the President's house as we
speak right now, trying to get into resign. The parliament
there is taking the steps toward impeachment, which could happen
by the end of the week. The president, when declaring
martial law said this was North Korean influence on some
of these liberal groups democratic groups there that are trying
to remove him. That led to the martial law. Parliament
(29:52):
then reversed him on that, so it's been topsy turvy.
But look, they're an important training partner, home of Samsung
LG day Kia. There's a lot of American ties there,
plus thirty thousand American troops are there.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And the only thing between the darkest of insanity North Korea,
there's South Korea. Where we were used to North Korea
being broke, unstable and non peaceful. We're not used to
South Korea.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Being that way. So we'll keep our eye on that one.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
All right, A good fifty year run, the last fifty years,
and we'll hope that's well. You know, they had their
own dictator problems in the eighties and got around that
through it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, Today flew by, I guess for Jeffrey and
for Red, it didn't necessarily fly for me. Love the talkbacks.
I love it when you're the star of your morning show. Anyway,
One chance to live Today Wednesday, December the fourth, Go
make a difference in someone's life that you are in
control of.
