Speaker 1 (00:31):
Good morning, and welcome to Friday, December, the fifth year
of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Yes, the week went
by that past. It's Friday. Unlike other places that hate
their job and they just look forward to Friday because
that means, you know, they're gonna have the weekend up.
We look forward to Fridays because of forty seven. And

lot done this week. We'll have more on that when

(01:15):
we visit with him. The twenty twenty six World Cup
draw takes place today at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

big win forty four to thirty on Thursday Night Football.
And it's championship Saturday tomorrow, the biggest of all games,

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Him Michael, This is Michael from Lebanon, Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Your morning show is my morning show with forty seven
and Pete Suppoway.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
We say it Hail to the Chief. He's the one
we all say hail to. He has the power because
he takes a shower. Mister President, good morning.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, I want to say good morning to you. You
know that we're finally past Thanksgiving and I'm very thankful
for you, Pizza boy. I have to say that thank you.
I know you're very thankful for your ratings, which we
drive through.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
The roof, which is a very thankful to you.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I have to say this too.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
We're now in the holiday season, right the Christmas season,
and I got a look very well with Santa. We
have a relationship and I don't call him Bobby, I
call him Nick.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
He's a great guy.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
You may have heard of him.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I have a great deal. And I said, any if
you put me on the naughty list, we're going to
tariff every single gift you distributed this year. So we
had a great Well, you're a location in Santa and
I on the same page.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
You're a lot like Santa. This year. You got a
present for the kids of all of the nation, you
and mister Dell. It's called Trump accounts.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well, these are the greatest accounts of the world has
ever seen. And that's why they call Trump accounts. I said,
this is a great system.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
What shall we call it?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
They said to me, Sarah, you should call it Trump accounts.
He's a beautiful, beautiful account. So we're gonna have so
many ways to save and invest, invest, in your children's future.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
And so we're doing very well.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
The Dell's, you know, not great computers, but tremendous people
helped under that. Tremendous people. You know, their computers are
a little weird back in the day, that's because they
were making them.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
They don't do that anymore, right, So we have.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
A great thing happening, and the Dells are very good people,
and they do a great thing for their country, I
can tell you that. And we're very happy with them.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
And only Corey Booker representing the Democrats, could come out
so positively saying he loves the Trump accounts. So he
loves the Trump accounts, but he despises the very bill
that created them. I don't know how they get away
with that. And then I guess it all begins with
a Washington Post creation from an anonymous source, and then

(04:01):
they try to make it into the Narco gait and
the scandal. The Times comes out with four anonymous sources
contradicting it. That ABC comes forward and says we talked
to the people in the real No, they were communicating,
they were trying to save the drugs and continue the operation.
What do you make of this whole thing?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, it's all very stupid. It's very stupid. A lot
of these people you see are very stupid people too,
which you know, I called the governor of Tim of
Minnesota a word that didn't like that also means stupid. Ye,
we're not going to use that word again.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
But you know they said to me shared under that.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
But these are very stupid people. You look at tim Wolves,
you look at these people with the drug boats. These
were terrorists that were bringing drugs into our country and
we dropped Chris Christie on them and then go one
of the boats was able to withstand the impact of
Chris Christie. So we dropped Higgly Belly Pritch Shir and

(04:55):
people are very upset about it. Right, it's the first
time Jiggly Belly has moved in ears.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
They say is running for.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
The right, are running for anything?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
You look at that guy hasn't run a day in
his life.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
And they want to see my m R. I want
to see his MR.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Right when they take an MRI and jiggily Billy Pritzker,
the whole street is.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Like white, all that fat. He's a fat slab. It
reflects the MRI back at him. They gave me the MRA.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
You know, it's called magnetic residence imaging.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
He told me a lot about it.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Now I call it maga residence imaging. It's the greatest
MRI in the world has ever seen. But they're very
unhappy with the bugs. Maybe that's because some of these people,
maybe they're not stupid people, maybe they're on drugs. Who
there wasn Hunter is very upset about it. Under is
snorkeling in the Caribbean right now, snorkling in the Caribbean,

(05:49):
trying to save the drugs.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm trying to figure it out. And I know they
never wanted Hegseeth, So maybe this was trying to pin
something on heg Seth. I don't know. Uh, it could
be their blind hatred of you. I mean, it's got
all the Democrats now rooting for and on the side
of drug lords and something that that cost us eighty
thousand lives a year. I mean, when I think of

(06:10):
what we did after three thousand lives and nine eleven,
and there just doesn't seem to any interest, you know,
to fight and win this drug war. But I don't
know which it is. Whatever it is, I'm just ready
for it to go away.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, these are very stupid people, and we're ready for
them to stop being stupid, but it's going to be
very hard for them. You know, the Democrats are very
wacky people. You look at Afton Vane, remember her, and
what the hell was she wearing at her election night?
Brought it?

Speaker 5 (06:37):
She looked like a you know, you.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Look at her, you look like a complete whack job.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
And she was a little bit of country.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
And she she says she hates country music in Nashville.
Make it make sense, right, It doesn't make sense. It's
like if you said you hate pizza, but your pizza boy,
How the hell does that work? How old does that work?
But you look at her, you look at tennessee what
a beautiful win from that. Matt van Epps, tremendous guy, MVE.

(07:03):
I call him MVP, Most valuable person, beautiful guy, except
not more valuable. But that's a great guy.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
To Friday with forty seven. I'm trying to get yelled
at I keep interrupting you, but you haven't yelled at
me yet. Friday with forty seven continuing, All right, Well,
a lot of Somali rhetoric this week and garbage. I
was waiting for Omar to show up in a garbage truck.
Things got a little heated.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, you know, she came to this country out of
a dumpster. You know, I call Somalia the dumpster. It's
a really disgusting place. And she came in.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
The back of a garbage truck.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
You know, believe it or not, someone threw her out
of Somalia like the trash that she's a nasty version,
and they all floaded her here. They dumped her hair
in the United States with her brother apparently, who many
people are saying she was married to, which I have
to say, I feel me it to him, because you know,
you marry that, it's probably a very hard life. Not

(08:00):
only are you're not supposed to marry your sister. Not
only are you're not supposed to marry your sister. And
if it wasn't for me, Luke Skywalker never would have
found out that.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Laya was his sister. And I said to Yoda, I said,
you gotta tell him he likes her.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
You know you can't have that. You knew that, you
knew very well. I got along very well with Yoda,
got along very well with him.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I did think about it, right.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
What did you I got it?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
What did you call him?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Ill I master Yoda.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
We didn't call him, you know, we wouldn't call him.
We wouldn't call him Bobby. Although Bobby sometimes sounds.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Like I can say whatever the hell I want, I
haven't said something that is that.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
But we did very well.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
We're doing very well.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
I can tell you this.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Nobody's doing better than we are. Were the hottest country
in the history of the world. So even with the
Somali garbage, think about it. Nasty people, rubbish, they say in.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
England, rubbish. By the way I saw you chip that
one in off.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
The beautiful Nobody thought it was possible.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Nobody thought it was right in front of Brooks.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, you like that. I get exhausted watching you in
any given week. The notion that the and I love
Scott is the way he steely eyed at a New
York Times forum put them in their place. For them
to ignore Joe Biden's obvious cognitive impairment for four years

(09:29):
and now try to imply that you have one. I mean,
come on, you don't ever sleep. I don't know how.
It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Absolutely, I don't do sleep. You know, I don't have
to sleep. I can sleep with my eyes open. I'm
one of the only people who can do that. I
can recharge very quickly.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
All night long.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well that's one way to do it, and you look
at it. It's one way to do it. But Scott
sent is doing a tremendous job, and the tariffs are
doing a tremendous job. You know. I want to tell
you something today is we're in December, right, which is
the official end of all hurricane season. And did you
realize there were no hurricanes in the Gulf of America.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
You might have missed that. You know that the fig.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
News will never say that. But I, well, with somebody,
excuse me, I got worked very well with somebody by
the name of Mother Nature. You may have heard of it.
Had We don't call them mom.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
I only have one.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
But she's a great person, Mother Nature.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
And so I said to her, quiet, Piggy, you're not
sending any hurricanes. And she said, sir, I'm gonna say.
I said, you're not going to send the hurricanes into
a country. If you do, we're going to tariff them
like you've ever seen. And guess what happened.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
We renamed it the Gulf of America, and there were
no hurricanes in the Gulf of America because of our
strong leadership and tariffs and deal making. So I can
tell you we do very well. We do very well.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's been a historic, remarkable week. It's been a lot
to cover. Thank you, mister President.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
God bless you Fizz the boy, God bless.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Call Mother Nature Piggy. It's not good to fool with
Mother Nature?

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (11:09):

This is your Morning Show with Michael del Trono.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Friday with forty seven is Sean Faroche is a very
talented and funny individual and if you ever want him

Does any all right? Always entertaining, no, always revealing, often

final travel story when we come back next to that hour.
But first things first, gotta get job and informed. President
Trump says he is settling a war that's been going
on for too long decades to be exact, and the

(12:09):
signing took place yesterday.

Speaker 7 (12:11):
Trump made the comment before overseeing a US broker peace
deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
On Thursday.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
For more than thirty years, one of the worst conflicts
on Earth has been raging in Eastern Congo Midians and
Midians that people have been tragically killed.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Went on forever, and countless more have been displaced from
their homes. The leaders of both countries joined Trump to
sign the deal.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
The Democratic Republic of Congo is also expected to sign
on minerals and infrastructure partnership with the Trump administration.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm Mark Neefield. Well Lawmakers in a classified briefing Thursday
on US strikes unsuspected Venezuela Narco boats say there was
no kill order given.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
The Democratic Congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut says he's disturbed
by the video he saw of the September second incident.

Speaker 9 (13:01):
Two individuals in clear distress without any means of locomotion
with a destroyed vessel who were killed by the United States.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
The controversy began after the Washington Post claim Secretary of
War Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on the boat
so there would be no survivors him, says Navy Admiral
Frank Mitch Bradley said there were no such orders, and
Bradley quote defended the decisions taken. I'm Tammy Trichio.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Texas's redistricting effort got a boost from the Supreme Court yesterday.

Speaker 10 (13:29):
The Supreme Court is allowing Texas to use a new
congressional district map in next year's midterm election. An emergency
application was filed by Governor Gray Gabbett with the Conservative majority,
pausing a lower court ruling that said the map was
unlawful due to GOP lawmakers explicitly considering race when drawing
new districts. The map was drawn in the hope of
gaining up to five extra Republican House seats.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
I'm Jim Roop. Rising country music star Megan Moroney will
head out for her first ever arena tour next year.
She'll kick off the Cloud nine Tour on May the
twenty ninth in Columbus, Ohio. The tour will hit more
than thirty cities across North America, including Chicago, Boston, New York,
Los Angeles, and Nashville. Roni was nominated for six CMA

(14:16):
Awards this year and will release her third album come
February twentieth of next year. Fans can sign up now
for pre sale tickets on December eleventh. General on sale
tickets are December twelfth. Well, this is a side of
the times. More Americans are turning to AI for help
on their holiday shopping list.

Speaker 11 (14:36):
Twenty twenty five survey from Talk Desk found seventy five
percent of shoppers planned to use artificial intelligence to find
deals and sixty seven percent to get gift ideas. The
information comes from product pages, reviews, prices, and a user's
previous interaction with the chatbot.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
What's the takeaway?

Speaker 11 (14:56):
Fifty six percent of shoppers say they felt happier and
less anxious about they're holiday shopping.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I'm Sarah Walters. This is Kay from Surprise, Arizona.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
My Morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Journo.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Hey it's me Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard
live five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. This
is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorna. We're thrilled
to have you join us. A lot of victories for

(15:38):
the present. We had an appeals court that's gonna allow
Trump's National Guard deployment in DC to continue. Victory, Supreme
Court allowing Texas to use new congressional districts maps they
favor Republicans, So that's a victory. There was the behind
closed door meeting, and so if the narrative and the
attack and the Narco gate is about Hegseth giving a

(16:02):
second kill order so much so that a Michigan member
of Congress is going to file impeachment papers on the
Secretary of War, Well, then that should be over because
that was made clear. But will the nothing burger go away?
Presidents sat down with Rwanda and Congo and got the
peace deal signed. We're getting closer to a peace deal

(16:22):
with Russia and Ukraine, or so are the reports. We
already have one in the Middle East. I mean, it's
been a pretty productive year for a guy the Democrats
claim is cognitively impaired she's gonna get smoked. He's got
too stopped.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding. I'm going win.
I'm so like, love your garbage truck. One of the
big spokespeople for the left in this narco narrative is
Connecticut Democrat Jim Hines, and you know he will allen sided,
of course, with the drug lords and the smugglers and

(17:05):
against what you would perceive as the American people that
died the tune of eighty thousand plus a year, or
our military that are taking out these threats. Here's his
comments on the year strikes with this monkey.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
But you're exactly right here. We're me to went, by
the way, there is no such thing as a.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Narco terrorist, Katie.

Speaker 9 (17:24):
But we're being told that these people are just so
horribly awful, that they're responsible for the deaths of tens
of thousands of Americans, that they create mayhem and violence
and stuff. But what you learn when you consider the
fact that two of them were repatriated to their own countries.
We apparently the United States of America apparently has enough
evidence to kill these people, but we don't have enough
evidence to try them in a court of law.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now, the one thing that is the biggest part of
this is there's no such thing as narco terrorists. And
we found that fascinating because here's Joe Biden giving the
Democrat response to George H. W. Bush's The Union in
nineteen eighty nine. This is Joe when he had hair

(18:07):
and had cognitive ability, and apparently narco terrorism existed in
nineteen eighty nine. Oh, Democrats today say it doesn't exist.

Speaker 12 (18:16):
The trouble is that the president's proposals are not big
enough to deal with the problem. We think we should
do more to stem the flow of drugs across our borders,
and we think we should go one step further. Let's
go after the drug lords where they live with an
international strike force. There must be no safe haven for

(18:37):
these narco terrorists and they must know it.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
We have boy, how the Democrat party has changed, right,
And there's Joe Biden in nineteen eighty nine giving the
plan that the president is doing right now that his
party is opposing, and that he failed to do when
he finally became president for four years jaw dropping. Oh
Himes is backed by the way. That is a war crime,

(19:03):
full stop.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
The admiral confirmed that there had not been a kill
them all order and that there was not.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
An order to grant no quarter, and then he walks away.
Now they'll continue the narrative that there is no narco terrorism,
that these are murder and out of control. You know
the Democrats are it could be Trump derangement, whatever the

(19:30):
President is doing, even if they used to call for
it to be, because that's becoming a theme now. I
can play eclips of Bill Clinton talking about the border
and illegal immigrants and how they can't be allowed to
get benefits, they can't be allowed to stay, the border
must be secured. The difference is Donald Trump did it.
There's Joe Biden in nineteen eighty nine giving a response

(19:53):
to a Joint Session of Congress State of the Union address, saying, look,
I'm with the president on this, remember those days, but
he's not doing enough. He's a war We got to
go after these narco terrorists have been international strike teams.
We got to hit him where they begin. Got it
in eighty nine, didn't do it for four years as president,
and now his party doesn't even believe in it. So

(20:18):
if Donald Trump is for closing the border, now the
southing they're against it. They're for open borders. If Donald
Trump's for winning the war on drugs, well then there
for the drug lords. Look, COVID itself was one of
the greatest frauds in human history, but certainly American history.

(20:48):
But the fraud that took place in Minnesota something we
should learn from and stop. Here's one in real time.
Even the Democrats still don't want to learn from. Keith Ellison,
one of my favorites from Minnesota. On with Anderson Cooper,

(21:09):
civil claims were made about these meals. My office went
to court explained that to the court. A judge actually
found the.

Speaker 13 (21:17):
Department in contempt for denying claims. So yeah, and we
cooperated fully and work well with the FBI. We're glad
that we.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Took the action that we did.

Speaker 13 (21:28):
I convicted over three hundred people in the last few
years for medicaid fraud, so we are very able to
go after fraud and we do all the time. What
we need, though, Anderson, is cooperation to stop the theft
of public money, not politicization and using this tragic situation

(21:49):
as a political weapon to gain advantage, advantage.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I am telling you as an attorney general.

Speaker 13 (21:55):
Yeah, fraud happens, we should prosecute it whole people accountable
for their end individual conduct, not for their ethnicity, right,
which is critically important. But yeah, absolutely, we've got to
hold these people accountable, but not based on their race, ethnicity,
or religion.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Now that sounds great, right, ethnicity, race, religion. But this
was specifically a major fraud within the Somali community, sending
money to Somalia that was handing up in Somalian terrorists'
hands that were killing people. Sorry, but I think that's relevant.

(22:44):
An interview with CNNs Jake Tapper on Wednesday, here is
Representative Omar of Minnesota saying the President uses very bigoted, xenophobic, Islamophobic,
racist rhetoric when he's trying to scapegoat and deflect from
the actual failure of he himself. Early it was the
President that funneled this money to Somali.

Speaker 14 (23:06):
I think what happened is that, you know, when you
have these kind of new programs that are designed to
help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be
able to facilitate.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Notice, how casual they are with the big fraud, the scandal.
You know, these things happen. It's no big deal. But
let's get on to the real problem.

Speaker 14 (23:28):
The president and I just think that a lot of
the COVID programs that were set up, they were set
up so quickly that a lot of the guard hills
did not get created.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well.

Speaker 15 (23:38):
Obviously, whatever the ethnic group, the actions of a few
dozen should not impune.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
And notice, Jake, just a few dozen.

Speaker 15 (23:47):
Entire community of thousands of people. Okay, I want to
make that very clear. President Trump has used.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Just a few dozen representing thousands of people. Watch of
the number of changes here in like.

Speaker 15 (24:00):
This fraud to make rather shock to me shockingly bigoted
comments about Somali's in general, including you, but the entire
Somali community of Minnesota. He did it yesterday and he
did it again today.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Let's run some of that.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
These Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country.
They've taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative,
ilhan Omar, who they say Mary her brother. She should
be throwing the hell out of our country and most
of those people. But they have destroyed Minnesota she should
not be and her friends shouldn't be allowed. Frankly, they

(24:41):
should need be allowed to be congress people. Okay, they
should need be allowed to be congress people because they
don't represent the interests of our country.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's pretty shocking to hear it.

Speaker 15 (24:52):
Although I don't know how shocked you are at this
at this point anymore.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
But by the way, Jack tapperver shocked about the things
they say about the president.

Speaker 15 (25:00):
No, No, only immigrants in general, you in particular have
been the target of his attacks for a long time.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
What's your response.

Speaker 14 (25:09):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not shocked because we know that
the president oftentimes resorts to very bigoted, syennophobic, Islamophobic, racist
rhetoric when he is trying to escape goat and deflect
from the actual failures that he has himself. We know

(25:30):
that this administration has not fulfilled majority of the promises
that they've made, whether it is bringing costs down, whether
it is the tariffs that are decimating businesses in the
United States, whether it is the possible war crimes that
his Defense secretary is committing. And so to me, it

(25:53):
is important for us one to remind folks that we
are Americans. We're not going anywhere, and we will continue to.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Be in this love. How she talks with him, and
then you ought to hear how they talk in public.
This woman has pledged her allegiance to her home country,
not ours, for which she took an oath to serve.
The story was about a billion dollar fraud, well just
that was gonna be my But only in the death

(26:22):
of journalism, only in the matrix. Can you imagine if
you're on the left and this is the only place
you get your news, like listening to a football game
that only tells you when your team scores, you think
you won. Yes, that's the bottom line. This is about
a particular group of Somali immigrants committing billions of dollars

(26:46):
of fraud sending the money to terrorists in Somalia who
are killing and carrying out acts of terrorism. I think
it's over eighty at this point. I mean, just wow,
just wow. No, we don't have a problem with COVID

(27:09):
or fraud, or terrorism or disloyal members of Congress with
allegiance to other countries and ways of life. The problem
is the president. There's CNN trying to softball and walk
her way through. You know, if only Sarah Palin had
worn a heat shop, she probably would have got fair treatment. Already,

(27:35):
let's wrap this up with your top five stories of
the day, shall we. Yeah. While they're all behind closed
door trying to figure out if there's such a thing
as a narco terrorist, or if our government is murderers
or what have you, the US military announced another strike
a narco terrorists.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
Thursdays came in the Eastern Pacific and killed four people
on board. US Southern Command posted video of the strike
on social media, saying intelligence confirmed that the boat was
carrying illicit narcotics. The blowing up of alleged drug boats
has come under increased scrutiny after the military confirmed US
second strike against a vote in September that killed survivors.
A Navy admiral brief members of Congress on that strike Thursday.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I'm Marknefield.

Speaker 16 (28:16):
So is everybody ready to light the beautiful Christmas fee?

Speaker 9 (28:20):
Are you ready? So?

Speaker 16 (28:23):
The first lady is going to do the honors.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
President Trump bushing the nation to Merry Christmas at the
National Tree Lighting ceremony in Washington, d C. Last night.
The event took place on the south of the White
House at the Ellipse. The tradition began back in nineteen
twenty three with Calvin Cooblidge.

Speaker 16 (28:40):
Tonight, this beautiful evergreen tree low is bright on the
dark and cold winter night, and reminds us of the
words of Gospel of John. In him was life, and
that life was the light of all mankind.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Beautiful words. While the President was getting into the Christmas spirit,
he had gotten a gift earlier in the day. An
appeal over the National Guard deployment in Washington, d C.
Goes the President's way.

Speaker 10 (29:04):
Jim Rupism One Appeals Court is allowing the Trump administration's
National Guard deployment in Washington, d C. To continue, the
court lifting an injunction Thursday mandating the troops leave by
December eleventh. The order is temporary and did not address
the merits of the case. Over two thousand soldiers have
been deployed to Washington amid the administration's crackdown on crime

(29:25):
and illegal immigration.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I'm Jim Roup. Well, as we jump full into the
holiday season, not everyone is of good cheer. Pre Tennis
with a pep talk for those of you struggling.

Speaker 17 (29:36):
Psychology today says nearly half of us really don't like
the holiday season at all the cost, family dynamics, parties
tacking the halls, gifts you don't want, gifts for people
you don't like, or maybe you're one of the twenty
three percent of us who hate holiday music. All that
doesn't mean you're agrined, just that you don't need the
holiday to spread your personal kind of joy. Psychologists say,

(29:58):
hang in there. January is days away. I'm bree tennis.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
In sports, we got the first Big twelve Championship tomorrow
at eleven am Central Time BYU and Texas Tech. That
should be one sided Texas Tech way. Then we have
the SEC Championship, a rematch Alabama beat Georgie in the
regular season. Georgia's won everything since they'll meet in the
SEC Championship and the Big one number two Indiana versus
Number one Ohio State that'll be in primetime at seven.

(30:25):
It was a must win for both trying to hang
on to wild card dreams. Cowboys and Lions met and
it was the Lions that got the must win. They
go to eight and five forty four to thirty over Dallas.
Last night on Thursday Night Football on the Hardwood of
your morning show Interest, Warriors lost by one of the sixers.
Lakers win by three over the Raptors on ice, Red
Wings lost in a shootout, so they do get a point.

(30:45):
With the Blue Jackets lightning loss to the Penguins four
to three, Blues fall to the Bruins five to two
in Boston, Preds with an overtime win over the Panthers
two to one, and the Kings lost at home two
to one to the Blackhawks. Birthdays today, rock midghit ly,
I own them. Turns out Andy Kim was not a
one hit wonder when you consider he was in the

(31:06):
Archies and wrote Sugar Sugar Wow. And now you have
the rest of this story. Moving up three big notches.
Here's Andy kiv good need it Right seventy nine years
old today, super Bowl champion and raider Jim Plunkett seventy
eight and from the Queues and a Hall of Famer
for the Redskins, Art Monk sixty eight. If it's your birthday,

(31:28):
Happy birthday, So glad you were born, and thanks for
waking up with your morning show. We're always got the
final story and it's on our travel plans for the
new year and energy when your morning show continues next.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chano.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Next week, we have that girl Marlo Thomas joining us,
Lottie Jordan of the band War. It's the fiftieth anniversary
of the song why Can't We Be Friends? And they
got a Christmas song they're rereleasing. And now we have
Roy O'Neil to tell us about how we all plan
to travel, how energy plays a role in that. Rory,
Good morning, Yeah, Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 18 (32:04):
So nationwide, we've just seen gas prices drop to levels
we haven't seen since twenty twenty one. Triple A says
gas prices for the national average are now at two
ninety seven a gallon. Again, we haven't seen a national
average that low, but lots of states and their drivers
are enjoying prices much lower than that, some even below
two dollars a gallon in some locations. This trend is

(32:27):
expected to continue as there is a record amount of
oil production gasoline production here in the US.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
We've seen globally oil.

Speaker 18 (32:35):
Markets sort of flat right now, and the fact that
it's wintertime means it's a cheaper formulation of the gas
that's being used. So all these different factors are helping
to bring down the oil prices and gas.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's obviously another something the President has ignored, obviously in
the affordability of America. Now, how does that relate to
how we'll travel next year?

Speaker 18 (32:56):
Well, yeah, it doesn't really, but we're putting two things
together anyway, apparently. So we're also appearing from the Points
Guy for travel trends for twenty twenty six. He's looking
for Americans who travel overseas to.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Look for value.

Speaker 18 (33:08):
A bit more still, if a boutique hotel experience is
out there, they'll snatch it up. But also going at
different times of the year, not so much summer travel,
go early spring, late fall, shoulder seasons, less crowded, less expensive.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
That seems to be on the agenda. Roy O'Neil always
with the final story. Thank you, Rory, have a great weekend.
We'll talk again on Monday. For the rest of you,
go make a difference in someone's life, Cherish your own.
You only get one chance till to this day. Make account.
We'll see a Monday morning.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
