Speaker 2 (00:19):
Three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Chuman. Everybody's
working for the weekend. Hey, Red, guess you got some
shut eye last night? You guys, You guys did it?
Get the memo? You're working this week?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
They decided to add the best of your morning show
on weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Up in the air, Mom, is dad still alive? Seven
minutes after the hour?

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I Am
Michael Journal on this Friday, December sixth, of a Loud
twenty twenty four if you're just waking up. The Trump
assassination attempt in July was the spotlight of a Capitol
Hill fist fight, I mean things, God heated. Meanwhile, the
House has voted against releasing the Ethics Committee report from

(01:19):
its investigation at a former Florida Congressman Matt Gates.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
He's gone. They will spare him the embarrassment.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Aftershocks may rumble across northern California for a while after
the magnitude seven point zero earthquake that hit off the
shore of California at Oregon state line on Thursday. And
America's return to the Moon is going to take a
little longer than expected. And I don't know why I'm
getting accused of this. I may have gone to sleep
after the first quarter, but I know the Lions beat
the Packers last night thirty four to thirty one, and

(01:47):
the Lions are now twelve and one.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
But as we find out going to our.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Talkback button, someone is accusing me of having to score wrong.
Let's start with because can't have your morning show without
your voice.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Let's start with you, Amy, suits.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yead Jimmy such that I haven't got decade there. I
never heard that story where you have been with that story, Hikey.
Thank you for what you do God brother.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Oh well, if for those of you that are just
waking up if your alarm clock had gone off.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
But is that you doing on talkback or is that
God for real? No, he'ssy for real. Yeah, that's not me. Okay,
I'm just checking.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
You're the one that called the other day thanking to
be somebody, which is why I'm asking you.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
No. We started the show yesterday.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I was going to tell this because the Globetrouters were
one of three Tennis's kicker stories, right, And I said, well,
I hadn't thought about it in years, but I think
I have the ultimate Harlem Globetrouter story. I played against
them as a Washington general and then we were at
a heart break, so I had to, you know. I said, well,
we'll do it at seven twenty, and then we got

(02:57):
busy at seven twenty and I forgot to do the story.
So we did the story this morning in the first
hour game was plugged for the podcast. The podcast Go
to your iHeartRadio app and listen to our one of
the podcast of today's show and you'll hear my Harlem
Globe Cutter story. I'm glad you liked that, Jimmy, and
I don't know why I've never told that one.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
John's listening to KB E and I can't remember where
that is. I don't know. We need to get a list.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
But the problem with the list is like we had
somebody yesterday and I was like, I didn't know we
were on an erie Pennsylvania. And then when I looked,
we were on an erie Pennsylvania. But I don't know where. Kay,
let me look real quick while we're doing this.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Should I get some filler music or something. I don't
know if I still have that list.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Anywhere while you're waiting. Oh, this one doesn't have the
call letters, so that ain't gonna work. You just haven't
called back and tell us stories from that would help?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Is KB E N right?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
No KB in w KB N Oh that's the problem.
Ummm that's Youngstown, Ohio. Oh, John in Youngstown, Ohio. Sorry
for that long pause. By the way, my coffee is
prematurely empty. Maybe that's maybe it wasn't asleep.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Maybe it's maybe the lack of that. Do you want
to play John the Dark Chocolate? Yes? Give me John
in Youngstown.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Hey, pizza boy, you got to score wrong the last
TIS football game. Get with it, pay attentionhit forget about
your candy bars.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
The Lions won thirty four to thirty one. How did
I get it wrong? I don't know, but I did
get something wrong. If somebody can I do like a
preemptive parton to myself. Sure, I'd like to preemptively pardon
myself for a mistake I did make. I did get
the score right. The Lions won thirty four to thirty
one over the Packers, and the Lions are now twelve
and one. Then I got into how I believe they're
the best team in football, and I think the second
best team in football is the Buffalo Bills. I did

(04:54):
leave out the Philadelphia Eagles, and I know I got
some people met. But when I said that Paul at
the Bar was a friend of mine, I was wrong. Yeah,
it's John at the Bar is a friend of mine.
Paul is the real estate novelist. Yes, and Davy's the
one that's still in the Navy.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Look, I'm not above criticism, but at least catch me
for what.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I did do wrong. Andy. I don't know where Andy's from.
Andy w WLAC Nashville, but he's.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
In Detroit, I think, right, this is Andy up in Detroit, Michigan.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Just wanted to give Michael at Christmas present. They do
make dark chocolate Milky Way.

Speaker 7 (05:31):
They do, and let me tell you something, there's a
real interesting twist to it. It's a different rapper. The
dark chocolate rapper has beautiful blues, kind of a purply
blue backdrop in the middle of the rapper because it's
dark chocolate. The wrapper itself is not brown, it's black
with And by the way.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
This is can I just interrupt? This is what I
accidentally got. They called that a two to go. Oh remember,
and that's another thing. Go back to the pot, guest
and listen to our one. So I'm at home depot.
I'm buying a thing from my mom's wristband for the
assisted living to put her key on. And it was
a dollar sixty nine. I'm like, you can't put a
dollar sixty nine in a credit card. That's just not enough.
I gotta get something out of that. Looked there was

(06:14):
a milky Way calling my game.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
And so when I pulled the outside of it, you know,
to pull it out of the rack, a second one
fell with it, and I was like, oh my gosh,
twins twins bassil twins. But I guess they call that
a two to go there's actually two in one rapper.
Great marketing, but no, But can you guys see this,
Like everybody's familiar with what like a milky Way rapper

(06:37):
looks like just like guess Snickers or Areses, you know
what the logo is, right, But this is the dark
chocolate milky Way and it's kind of blue.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's really colorful. Yes, it's beautiful, isn't it. Yeah? I
will try that, Thank you, Andy. Last one is Scott Scott.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I think Philadelphia Eagles they're playing some some really good
football and the Pittsburgh Steelers are have struggled with less
than mediocre teams.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be a nightmare in the playoffs.
Trust me, best coaching football always are. Along with Andy Reid,
I do, I will say no, I'm going to stand
by I think the Lions are the best team my
eyes have seen. Right after the Lions, I'm thinking Buffalo.
Then maybe I will change that then Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Buffalo has a history in the playoffs, but they have
a history in the Super Bowl too, But they might
overcome both of them this year.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
But time will tell. Oh, we don't really have time.
Maybe I'll just do one at a time.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Stop it.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
God, No, No, it is the motto keep come, come along.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
I only have time to do one in this segment.
We'll do the rest of the sounds of the day
coming up in the third hour. But yesterday we just
we don't even have the tree up yet. We've been
very busy taking care of two of our moms, and
it's it's been a really nightmarish three weeks. Hospitals, rehabs,

(08:13):
assisted living, transitions has been we haven't been able to
do anything. And and in all of our conversations, I
was like, I think I can take a lot of
this from here. You take a week off, and heer
because she needs to focus on you know. And then
I said, and then she goes, we haven't done any
Christmas shop. I said, look, when we just may give
checks to everybody, I mean, everbody's kept understand the Oh yeah,
that's real fun. And I thought, you're right, can't You

(08:34):
can't wake up to the stockings empty? And then yesterday
I got the ultimate stocking stuffer. MAMAA Kamala came back
to talk to the Black Caucus. He just popped in
and surprised them.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
But wait, there's more. She arrived with a new accent
and she was drunk.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
I knew y'all were in town. I didn't let it
go without coming by to say hello. Listen, just say
thank you to everyone here, all of these extraordinary leaders.
I wanted to come by and say happy Holidays, Merry.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Christmas, happy Kwanza.

Speaker 9 (09:16):
Whatever you may celebrate, but most important, let's make sure
we celebrate each other.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I know, y'all, I won't celebrate you right now. You're
taking that lost very well.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
No, she you know, Mamma had an expression, don't show
your ass.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Kids, I've shown you just keeps showing out.

Speaker 8 (09:38):
Videos from home, drug rumors of her and Doug are breaking.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Up and Doug ava.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
But I gotta tell you something, if you would have
tapped me on the shoulder in March, long before all
of this stuff I've been busy with for three weeks,
and you said Kam was going to lose and she's
going to make an ass out of herself for days afterwards,
weeks afterwards, that had been a great present in and
of itself. So maybe we haven't had time to do

(10:07):
Christmas shopping yet. But I think if we put this
in everybody's stocking. They should have a merry Christmas.

Speaker 9 (10:11):
And I couldn't let it go without coming by to
say hello and to say thank you to everyone here,
all of these extraordinary leaders.

Speaker 10 (10:22):
I wanted to.

Speaker 9 (10:22):
Come by and say happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, happy Kwanza, happy,
whatever you may celebrate, but most important, let's make sure
we celebrate each other.

Speaker 11 (10:35):
I do.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I want to celebrate all of you today.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
And gracious, yeah, that was a unique one, wasn't it.
I gotta tell you this, Remember how she was looking
really old and all that she looks rested. She was
wearing a beautiful white turtleneck. Her hair looked great, her
face looked great. The suit was not like one of
those dreary century twenty one pantsuits. It was a really

(10:57):
nice black double breasted pins looked great. But she sounded
and also looked drunk.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Smoke sound of the day. I really don't know what
he said at the end of this. He I don't
think he knows what he said either. It's got to
be a big misunderstanding. I'm going, I'm.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Why do you like my Robert that your sounds the
day and your talkbacks?

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Thank you Jimmy suit. I love that accent. Why would
somebody accuse me just because I'm impersonating him? You think
i'm him?

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Well, they're you know, Yeah, yeah, that's it pretty much,
well said Piji.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chono.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, and that's how we got to see that smiling
picture of him again. He arrived in New York back
on November twenty fourth. Reporting This Morning suggested he arrived
on a Greyhound bus that was based out of Atlanta,
although I'm not exactly sure where he got on that
bus before arriving in the city.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
What do you make of that? All right?

Speaker 4 (11:57):
So, because I would assume, like me, you were you
think of an assassin, if it was a planned hit man,
professional assassin.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
He doesn't come a month early, does he? It was
about ten days right?

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Oh? I guess, Oh yeah he's not. Yeah, he's not
a he's not a pro. But he certainly was planning
this thing and probably planning an escape route as well.
Not sure how familiar he was with New York City,
you know, to know to pick up a city bike
and then to be able to go through that part
of you know, to get to Central Park and try
to ditch things there. I mean, it seemed like he
knew where he was going. Judging by the video that

(12:34):
we've seen.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
We still have a clue as to how he was
so aware of his schedule and where he was staying
and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
Right, they knew obviously where the investor conference was. But
the fact that the Thompson wasn't staying in the same
hotel as the investors, you know, did he know he
was staying in the hotel across the street?

Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know, all that is speculation or really funny.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
And by the way, and to add to it, because
you know, this could likely become a movie, and you
normally when they do a movie, you're like, well, that
star is way better looking to the person.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
This was a very good looking assassin. I mean, he
was a handsome guy.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
Well, my my first take was, oh, there's an orthodontist
out there somewhere who knows exactly who this guy is.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
He I'd give anything to have a smile.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
I'll tell you that, all right, And then we still
have the denied, depose, defend and what are we making
of that today?

Speaker 6 (13:27):
Yeah, whether or not that's all related to healthcare policy
decisions and turning down policies or payments. You know, that's
all just wild speculation at this point. But you know,
at the same time, if the assassination was an intent
to send a message, and the engraved bullets and casings
were that message, you'd think you'd be either more clear

(13:47):
about it or declaring it or making a statement because
he sort of didn't and didn't.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
At the same time, we get to expose the audience
dated the professional side of you. We're doing a man's
delayed to the moon story. Yes, it is a different
to you. It's a very professional delivery. I'm beginning to
think you're you. You just don't work as hard when
you're here with us.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
But I have more time.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
I'm on a tight you have to do it in
thirty two seconds kind of No, I know, I know,
it's so much more.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I mean, I know, you know I'm explaining.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
If if I sound different, it's because it's like I've
got got thirty two seconds.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
I sound talented. Oh you don't mail it in. But
obviously we're going to be delayed getting to the moon.
Why are we even going to the moon? Rory, so
that we can go to Mars, And but how does
we bend to the moon. So if the moon is
a step, isn't it a step we've taken already?

Speaker 6 (14:38):
Yes, But now we're going to stay, which is the difference. Yeah,
So it's a so it's a so much.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Yeah, So it's a stay practice for when we need
to stay when we get to Mars.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Right.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Well, look, we were tourists when we went, So it's
it's like going to Paris, right, And if you're going
on vacation, you packed one thing, But if you're moving there,
you got all whole bunch of other stuff to pack,
And so it's it's two different ways of getting there.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Or meanwhile, Sonny and Butch, are they any closer to
coming home?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
They got to be disgruntled by now. Still February. I
don't know.

Speaker 12 (15:11):
You get to flow around in space.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
You don't care.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
Right, you'll be home for Christmas. I mean the data
hasn't changed, right, it's still February.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I mean, but they got two months to go still,
I mean, think about it. I'm a pretty you know,
I'm a company guy. I really am. I mean, if
you really hate your company, should leave. But I mean
if you're there and you love it, I'm a company
but as much as I love ihearten premiere, I mean
think if, oh, Michael, by the way, you'll be in
space an extra five six months, you know, that would
be a tough test.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
How are they talking many there.

Speaker 13 (15:41):
Is Roy O'Neill with are two away from the moon.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
But they're still a target come home in February, right, Yeah,
that's the current track.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
That's what they were pushed back to, and that seems
to be the most logical, least disruptive way of getting
everyone back on time.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
They'll be hold for Valentine's.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Day yet Patrick's Day.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Bro'll be back in the third hour.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
President, like Trump's cabinet picks, they're facing some pushback. I
went over the polls. They're facing a lot of praise
for the American people. Every single one of them are
in positive polling territory.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
We'll have Rory with that story coming up in our
third hour.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
All right, if you're just waking up forty two minutes
after the hour, these are your top five stories of
the day.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
President Biden held dush. You're in the.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Holiday season with the annual lighting of the National Christmas
Tree yesterday.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Mark Mayfield has that story Very.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Christmas America Mary Chrisol if you may God bless you all.

Speaker 14 (16:40):
The event marked one of the last public appearances by
Biden as he prepares to celebrate his final Christmas in
the White House. In brief remarks to the Crown, the
President said that during this holiday season, we should continue
to seek the light of liberty and love, kindness and compassion,
dignity and decency.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
I'm Mark Neefield, and you might want to acknowledge the christ.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
House speaker Mike Johnson says the new Department of Government Efficiency,
affectionately known as DOGE, is based on common sense.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 15 (17:10):
Speaking Thursday before a meeting with DOGE leaders Elon Musk
and Vivik Ramaswami, Johnson said government is too big, it
does too many things, and it does almost nothing well.
He said there's an enormous amount of waste, fraud, and
abuse in the government and that DOGE will investigate that
and lay it bare for the American people to see.

(17:31):
The speaker added the new administration will demand that federal
workers return to their desks and get back to the
work they're supposed to be doing.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
A senator critical to the confirmation of Pete Hegseth as
President elect. Donald Trump's secretary of Defense is noncommittal on
the nomination. Lisa Taylor's here with that story.

Speaker 11 (17:51):
Iowall Republican Joni Earnst met with Hegseth this week but
has not decided whether or not to support him.

Speaker 16 (17:57):
I think for a number of our senators want to
make sure that any allegations have been cleared, and that's
why we have to have a prey thorough vetting process.

Speaker 11 (18:09):
Ernst sits on the important Senate Armed Services Committee. Meg
Seth is vowed to stay in the running despite multiple
misconduct charges. Meg Seth is an Iraq combat veteran and
says he went through things when he returned to the States.
He adds the Trump told him he supports him and
looks forward to the confirmation hearings. Finally, sit Tailor.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'm Executive Chef George Harvell. My morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael Dojorna.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm Michael.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'd love to have you listen to your morning show
live every day. We're heard on great stations like News
Talk five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix News Radio,
eleven ninety k EX in Portland and ten ninety The
Patriot in c app Make us a part of your
morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live, but
in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Thanks for listening to your morning show.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
I'm Michael del Journal on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. If you're just waking up the
polling on Trump's nominees. One of the most fascinating tales,
I mean, suddenly doge is the cool kids, pandering politicians
trying to promising people something for free as we go

(20:41):
further and further into debt.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's been the modus operandi.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Now all of a sudden, sensibly, now this is what
I sensed like two three years from now, some pandering
politicians saying you shouldn't be paying for this, We're gonna
provide this for you free. And the American people's first
notion could be and where's that money coming from. That's
how much everything has just flipped. And we talked earlier
at great length, can't do it now, but at great

(21:05):
length about how different everything was. We thought, Okay, Donald
Trump's going to be good. It's certainly better than going
in the same wrong direction. And yeah, you'll fix the border.
Yeah you may get the economy moving. Yeah, peace through
strength might be in a better standing and people will
behave on the world theater stage. But we're still going
further and further into debt. And that's what's killing our future,
and that's what's killing our economy. And that's just flipped.

(21:25):
It's just a foregone conclusion. The border is going to
be secured, that the criminals are going to be deported,
that the economy is going to turn around, that the
world is going to start taking us seriously again and behave. No,
they're mastering the debt issue, the real cause of inflation.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
This is powerful stuff.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
And so when you're watching the death of journalism portray
this controversial cabinet, you juxtaposition against that the polling numbers.
The Morning Consult did a poll on every single one
of them. All of them collectively have a favorability rating
of fifty two to thirty eight percent negative. America is
loving Donald Trump two pogonon and they're loving his cabinet.

(22:05):
Marco Rubio is testing the highest forty five percent approval
thirty four percent disapproval. Now jd Vance isn't in this
because he's Vice president, but jd Vance and Marco Rubio
are the heirs apparent of this party. RFK Junior forty
four percent approval, thirty nine percent disapproval. Mike huck could
be forty four to thirty one. Doctor Oz that everybody

(22:26):
said we wanted, we don't need a TV person forty
one thirty eight. Telsey Gabbard thirty nine, thirty three really
positive responses to all of these cabinet members. That's a
huge story today, and we just did with Rory the
latest clues in this assassin of the United Healthcare CEO,
and coming up, I want to share with the LPGA

(22:49):
take one of the biggest controversies in America today and
how they just sensibly handled it.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
And it's over. They're getting our game ball for the day.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
The incoming Trump White House may have a shakeup in
the press room. Yesterday, whenever I visit with John Decker.
You know you're not supposed to have favorite kids, right
I have a favorite John Decker. So Decker, we did
this yesterday because I didn't follow yesterday script.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Now what do we do today? I would just do
it again, right, No, but we kicked this around. Now.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
My stance was because, first of all, I shouldn't talk
about your job. I mean, you got to live in
this press room. You're the one that's been in this
press room for presidencies. I mean, you're the expert. I
should shut up. But it just stood to reason from
my perspective, this election, like no other election before, it
proved podcasters were more influential people that have left terrestrial broadcaster,

(23:47):
cable broadcast, and now entered the digital world. So if
the media is transitioned and all of the viewers and
listeners have transitioned, shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
It reshape that room.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
I think through addition, not through throwing everybody else out.
That's just going to create a political controversy. But talk
to them about the shakeup. What's being discussed about changing
the makeup of that room.

Speaker 12 (24:09):
Well, the room consists of seven.

Speaker 10 (24:11):
Rows of seven seats, forty nine seats all together. And
if you're talking about addition, there's no room to add
new seats. If you're talking about a White House press briefing,
it's going to be packed on the sides of those
seats in the briefing room. Each of those seats is assigned.
I have an assigned seat, and those seats are assigned

(24:33):
by the White House Correspondence Association. That's the group that
represents all of the White House correspondents.

Speaker 12 (24:39):
Now, this new White House could come in and say.

Speaker 10 (24:40):
You know what, we want an election. We own that room,
we will assign the seats. Would I be surprised if
that happens. No, I wouldn't. Nothing surprises me. I think
it would be a bad move on the part of
the White House if they did that. It would engender
a lot of anger. You know, not only with the
legacy news organizations, but even the conservative ones. Fox News

(25:02):
occupies the seat. Box Business occupies the seat as well.
News Mechs occupies the seat in that breed keep a seat.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, no, but you actually play, I said, but yeah,
but Fox's seat will be secure.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
No.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
What I'm getting at is, all right, so like Donald
Trump's gonna care about that, right A. He's gone in
four years. Be the media has already been against him.
It's not like the media is going to turn against him.
They're already been against them. But there's a precedent there.
I don't want whoever wins the White House to control
access to the president. That's why, I mean, you got
to take a sensible approach. But some of them could

(25:38):
be maybe a handful removed and a handful of aded.
I mean, who would we add if you really wanted
to change things to represent the digital age? Well, then
I guess you know, Joe Rogan should have a spot.
But does Joe Rogan really want to move to Washington,
DC and be in the press room every day? I
don't think so. In fact, I would even consult Joe
Rogan not to make his podcast that political, frankly, or

(25:58):
it won't be that influential in the future. So it's interesting,
you know, you can it's a really fun game to play,
just brainstorming, isn't it. There's really not a whole It
seems like it would make sense, but it really doesn't.
But at some point we keep more moving forward with
a model that no longer exists too, and that's not good.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I don't I don't know what to make of
this one. What do you make? What is your final say?

Speaker 10 (26:21):
Well, every new administration tries to do something new, you know,
with the Trump administration, for instance, they didn't stick to
the first three roads of the briefing room.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
They mix it up.

Speaker 10 (26:32):
They went around the room and what teum Speiser did,
that's what Sarah Sanders did. They also allowed individuals to
ask questions remotely, and maybe that'll be the way that
Joe Rogan gets a question to be posed to the
White House Press secretary during a press briefing, is just
to do so remotely, rather than being the briefing room itself.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
John Decker joining us, and we don't even know if
Donald Trump himself is considering this. We think it's you know,
just being kicked around as they're forming the administration. How
do we want to handle this this press room?

Speaker 2 (27:05):
You know.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
The other thing is you could leave the press room
just the way it is, because who really, you know,
other than the people that are still going to those sources.
Maybe it's just beyond Megan Kelly, beyond Joe Rogan with
Trump himself. Let the press secretary deal with the old
press and not touch anything. That may be the smartest

(27:26):
way to the way you ran the campaign is the
way you run the presidency. And you're still reaching the
people with the main person Trump and then you've got
a press secretary dealing with what's left of the legacy media.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
That's probably the wisest path.

Speaker 12 (27:40):
That makes a lot of sense, you know.

Speaker 10 (27:42):
That way you get your message out to many different
types of outlets and many different types of news organizations.
You know, I think, as you point out, this is
not the top of the list.

Speaker 12 (27:52):
For the Trump administration. They have a big agenda.

Speaker 10 (27:55):
This is not, you know, among the top three things
or four things or five things on the top of
their agenda list.

Speaker 12 (28:01):
But it is something that we'll see in.

Speaker 10 (28:04):
Practice in the first few days of the White House
the way the White House Press briefing is handled by
the new.

Speaker 12 (28:10):
White House Press Secretariat.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
In ten seconds, what row are you? What'd see? Oh?

Speaker 10 (28:16):
I'm in the sixth row, fifth row, six number six,
sixth throw yes, sir, well facts you.

Speaker 12 (28:23):
Can really about that? Please let me know.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I want you moved up a couple of rows. John Decker,
you have a great weekend. We'll talk again next week too.
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Enhild Show and Now
