the podcast Enjoy Well.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Because we're in this together.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Seven minutes after the hour. Good morning, and welcome to Friday, December,
the twelfth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is the show that belongs to you. This is your
morning show. Honor to serve you. I'm Michael del Jorno,
Jeffrey's honor to service all with sound rents, keeping an
eye on the.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
Content and if you're just waking up.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
The falcons last second field goal was a twenty nine,
twenty eight with no time remaining win over the Tampa
Bucks Kirk Cousins three hundred and seventy three yards. My
brother and the lawd three touchdowns and all three of
them to Kyle Pitts, and I start my playoff weekend
in fantasy football. So thank Pittsy, he got me off

(01:15):
to a great start. Ukrainian Presidents Lensky says the latest
talks with the US focused on security guarantees. All the
talks have focused on security guarantees. The White House has
President Trump will act if Congress can't come up with
a bill to fix the healthcare crisis. In last half hour,
Marlo Thomas maybe gave us the greatest ted talk on

(01:36):
how to solve the healthcare crisis and resides in her
father's vision alive and well at Saint Jude Children's Hospital
and encourage you to give at Saint Jude dot Org. Well.
The world is moving fast, as they say, but is
the American workforce keeping up? According to a new study,
we're actually falling behind, way behind, so says National correspondent

(01:57):
Roy O'Neil, who joins us with the story Good morning, Rory.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Hey there, Michael.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
This is a report from the folks over at JP
Morgan who say that the educated workforce is not.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Educated in the right things.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
And actually this could become a national security threat unless
we write the ship Some of the industries they identify
in this report semiconductors.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
They estimate that in seven or.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
Eight years we'll have three point eight million jobs in
the semiconductor industry in the US, but half of them
will be vacant. And when we talk about AI, all
those data centers drinking up all that electricity out there, well.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Who's building that grid? Right now?

Speaker 6 (02:35):
We're short about two hundred thousand electricians and line workers
in the country.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
So there's more of a.

Speaker 6 (02:40):
Focus to try to get people interested, not just in
the trades, but in this high tech sector that really
is the future.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
So how do we get here?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Well, a lot of it.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
Is because you know, we were educating people to become
you know, lawyers and pr people, and you know, with
them on the college path on jobs that maybe going
away with AI in terms of those entry level jobs
for say legal in the legal professions or something that's repetitive,
even the financial services sector and looking.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
For that quick buck.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
And there's also that reputation how we feel about people
who might be in ship building. You know, forty six
percent of defense contractors say they can't find the staff
needed to build the next aircraft carrier, the next nuclear submarine.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah, you know, we I think the tech thing needed
to be anticipated. You know, it's amazing to me, and
I'll be very anecdotal about this and certainly not mentioning names,
but some people who early on embraced AI out of curiosity.
Next thing you know, they're taking all these different qualifying
courses to become certified.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
And the next thing you know, they have found a
way to make.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Six figures ahead of the curve using AI, and the
amount of time to take them to do one job,
they're able to do three or four. And if that's
I mean, eventually that curve will catch up. But you
got to anticipate these things. I think that's what the
President is trying to talk about in terms of leading
with AI. But how much of this ROY is that

(04:14):
same old chestnut of you know, it's got to be
something that pays at least and it depends on where
you live. It's higher, much higher in some places. But
unless it's over forty five grand with benefits, it's not
enough to get people off entitlements, living free right right,
And that's in there too.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I just want to say.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Sure, no interesting conversation with Senator without a former Senator
Joe Manchin saying, you know, we have to also stop
creating that cliff for the people who are on benefits
and say, okay, let's scale things down because too many people,
to your point, stay on the dole because well, it's
not worth it if I go to work and I
make an extra thousand dollars compared to just But if

(04:56):
you scale that down and said, okay, as you get
a job and we push me here, we were not
going to cut you off the dole completely, but we'll
start to ramp it down over time as you hopefully
increase your wages.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Just one way to look at those things.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
But look, President Trump and his administration are trying to
get more paid apprenticeships out there, earn and learn opportunities,
expanding peleogrants for education to cover more of these technical
skills of the future.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Can I just summarize it by saying, it was a
rough day for Christinome yesterday she had to meet in
the Congressional Oversight hearings and it was really rough. Some
of it was just ludicrous, and then some of it
was just rough. I think you know this is what
every cabinet member of the Trump administration seems to go through.

(05:43):
And this may be a preview of what things might
look like if the Democrats get control after the midterm elections.
It was pretty vicious calling for resignation and if not impeachment.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Royal'll have that story coming up in the third hour.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Can't have your morning show without your voice, nor will
we ever unless y'all stop listening, in which case I'll
get fired. So it won't matter either way. As long
as there's a show, there'll be your voice. Let's start
with I want to do John in Youngstown wkb N.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
I'm going to fast forward a little bit here. Can
you imagine the chaos, the mayhem, just the buffoonery that
that first Democratic presidential candidate debate is going to be
in twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
That is going to be some entertaining television. Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Well, you know, I believe, and this is I've been
saying this now for two about a year and a
half almost because I saw Bernie pass the torch tour.
I believe that AOC will be the early front runner
and she will ride the wave of this socialism energy

(06:53):
which is enough to take a big blue city. I
don't know if it's enough to take an entire country.
But if she owns that lane and then everybody else
has to compete for a more established lane, she could
go a long, long way.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Now, who do I expect to be in there with her?

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Definitely Pete Boodhagic, definitely, Gavin Newsom, I Ben, do.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
You think, how do you think they're going to be, Michael,
you think they're gonna be like eighteen nineteen twenty?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Well, I mean, do you want to do it real quick?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
I mean, you know Shapiro will be there, you know,
you know, AOC will be there, Mayor Pete will be there,
Gavin Newsom will be there, Kamala Harris will be there.
I think everything else is just the far left and
right end of the podium, so it really doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
But just that in the center take that.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Ronny Manuel will be in there unless they hold him
off and insert him. Why oh, you're doing the count?
You know I shook No, I'm talking to Jeffrey because
I shook off his call earlier and almost made us
late for a network break, and he starts doing the
doing Bull Durham to me on the Mountain.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
I thought you were giving me a sign.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I was like six minutes, what are you talking about?

Speaker 9 (08:08):
No?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, I think, but you could hold Romney Manuel for
the DNC play. But I think you get him in
early and it doesn't matter what place he's in. Remember
Joe Biden was fourth in Iowa, sixth in New Hampshire.
The race is over for the old man and that's
who they yank everything and rig it for, and he wins.

(08:34):
So you know you yeah, I think Rommy Man, so
Emanuel mayor Pete.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
I mean, these are the main ones.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Gavin Newsom Shapiro, would I just le about AOC.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
It's probably the top six, don't you think? Who am
I missing?

Speaker 8 (08:49):
But the more they get in there, the more AOC
is gonna shine exactly.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
He's gonna be there for a long long time. We
did a piece of research in the first hour shameless
plug for the podcast. If you our interview with Marlo Thomas,
how about Lonnie Jordan this week with war and that
Christmas song that we got to debut. That's good stuff,
a freaking instant classic. Oh and then so many analysis
and journey of discoveries. You can always catch up with

(09:14):
the podcast search your morning show into the iHeartRadio app
or Michael del Journal to pop right up.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Don't forget to hit the preset button.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
That way, you'll have access to the podcast every day,
but you can catch up this weekend. But we were
talking about last hour, that piece of research. It wasn't
that AOC was leading and leading by so much. It
was that she was not trailing by much forty five
to sixty four. Of course, she was leading with the
young people two to one, but she was holding up into.

Speaker 8 (09:41):
The forties and fifty year olds. Let me add some Michael,
let me yes or no. Andy Basheer, Governor Kentucky, well.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
He would be again. He would battle it out with
Mayor Pete. I think that's for Kamala falls. I don't
know of court. If Corey Booker runs again, he's just
he just does not recognize himself of the mirror.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
But you know these people are going to run just
to run. There's going to be a bunch of those.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
But show me somebody pure socialist, far left of the
zoron mom Donnie energy other than AOC, and there isn't.
She has the lane all to herself, and that lane
will hold up well into May all right. Next up
was irv irv is not far away. I can open
the door and talk to him. He's here in Nashville

(10:28):
listening to wlac hey Mike.

Speaker 9 (10:31):
Regarding the possible chaos that could ensue during the presidential
primary for the Democrats and the Bernie sandersing of someone
like AOC, there's an issue. No longer at the helm
is Admiral Pelosi. So anything could happen, right, chaos.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, that's an interesting presence to exit that presumes that
she does xit it. I think behind the scenes, it's
people like Podesta Obama to a great degree. How am

(11:15):
I going blank on his name? When he used to
I was on his list, I was on his hit lists. Yeah,
George sorows, there's other people with bigger says than Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Posy had a lot of weight congressionally and choosing
leaders and strong arming people. I don't know that she's
had much say presidentially, but you know it's gonna be

(11:35):
interesting to see. I'll tell you David's not He was
always fascinated by this. Politics isn't much different than strategizing
and programming radio, and so I follow the lanes and
the lanes never steer me wrong.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
There's some interesting lanes for the Republicans too, because if
you think that JD Vance is the no brainer handoff
and nobody can beat, you might want to think again.
And the only one that looks ready to me is
Marco Rubio. But there's some interesting lanes there that play out.
And then the one lane that nobody's looking at, that's

(12:12):
the one spinning out a turn coming up from mind
Governor DeSantis. I mean, it's going to be a crazy
twenty twenty eight. It really is, but we got a
crazy twenty six to live. First last of this segment anyway,
Roger kste and Sacramento.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
We're very proud of this radio station.

Speaker 10 (12:27):
Good morning, Michael Jeffery read Hey. A couple days ago,
a good friend of mine gave me a call. He's
the smartest food color guy I know, and he was
freaking out about the prospect of gapnuws and becoming a president.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
And because what.

Speaker 10 (12:40):
I've learned on the show, I was able to talk
him off that cliff because he was unaware of the
hole Bernie Sanders angle and that the nomination most likely
will never go to Newsom So you guys did a
good job for me that I could do a good
job for him.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
What a wonderful compliment.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well, we're all in this together, and we all help
each other understand it better and better, don't we.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Trono.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
President Trump intends to keep oil from the tanker he seized. Oh,
we'll talk to that pirate the third hour Friday with
forty seven.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
But Mark Mayfield has the story of seizure.

Speaker 11 (13:18):
The Justice Department says the tanker was taken by voice
on Wednesday because it was being used to transport sanctioned
oil to Iran from Venezuela. On Thursday, Whitehouse Press Secretary
of Caroline Levitt said the US is following all legal
guidelines and is in the process of completing the forfeiture
of the oil. Levitt's answer camus she was asked if
President Trump is going to keep the oil to help
Americans with affordability. This comes as tensions half escalated between

(13:41):
Trump and Venezuelan President Maduro A'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Speaking of Venezuela.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
New details are coming out about Nobel Peace Prize winner
Maria Carina Wuchado. Her extraction from Venezuela to Norway. Jim
Roope has that story.

Speaker 12 (13:54):
Venezuela's opposition leader has been hiding since January after President
Nicolas maduros his third term following a disputed election. According
to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration
was aware of the operation and helped in her secret
travel for the award ceremony. O Machado's daughter accepted the
award on her behalf. The opposition leader did make an

(14:14):
appearance before a large crowd of supporters Thursday. She's also
expected to make stops in Europe and Washington.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I'm Jim Roup.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Well, as we just talked about, there is no question
Gavin Newsom is running for president. We know Mama La
Kamala is going to run for president. Shapiro may may not.
I think he will. Wes Moore, I think he'll sit out.
He may get in, but I suspect he'll sit out
and be a top choice for VP.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
You know.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Mayor Pete's in.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
And they all kind of occupy, and Rodney Manuel will
be in, and they kind of all occupy that you know,
middle ground, and AOC has the crazy socialist wins behind
her in a lane of a roam. But Gavin Newsom,
he's trying to be the top choice of the establishment Democrats,

(15:05):
so of course he goes the traditional route. He releases
a book before his run.

Speaker 13 (15:09):
Newsom made the announcement on social media, saying pre orders
have started. Young Man in a hurry, A Memoir of
Discovery will be available on February twenty fourth of next year.
The book looks back at the forces that have influenced
Newsom as a politician. It also talks about social issues
that Newsom has taken on, including same sex marriage, climate change,
mental health care, and gun safety. I'm Tammy Truhio Hey

(15:32):
yo one.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Snoop Raw making history.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
He'll be the first ever honorary coach of Team USA
for the United States Olympic Paralympic Committee. The iconic wrapper
and longtime sports fan announced his new role on LinkedIn.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
He plans to assist the team in raising funds with his.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Exclusive coach Snoop Team USA collaboration from Fanatics, which is
set to drop later this month.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Trick from Christiana, Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
My morning show is your Morning show with Michael Dell Jorno.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Hi, It's Michael your Morning Show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee, and we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're thrilled
you here now. Enjoy the podcast on the airstreaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show and

(16:31):
we can't have it without your voice, which is why
I'm going straight to Akron, Ohio listening.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
To wa Gia. Hello, Hello, Karen, Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 13 (16:41):
Do you really think that the American people are ready
to elect a Jewish president?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Love your show?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
The better question is is the Democrat Party. The Democrat
Party has a very big eye problem, and Karen, I
suspect you know this as well. A big eye problem
is developing on the far right of the Republican Party
as well, So you know there's issues and there ought

(17:10):
to be. I think everybody's just to pray to say
him out loud, and it's hard to say because they've
been bad women candidates. I mean, Hillary was a very presumptuous,
flawed candidate who ran a very bad campaign, and Kamalo
was just a disaster. She was a disaster when the

(17:31):
Clinton apparatus was trying to get her through the primary
in twenty twenty, and she was a disaster taking over
with a little over one hundred days. So but you
could ask the question, is America ready for a woman president?
We know they're ready for a black president, but are
they ready for a woman president? Are they ready for
a Jewish president? That wouldn't be very good timing for
the Democrat Party. Don't put that on America story. Did

(17:54):
you have a story for us? Michael, Oh, my gosh,
I forgot to tell it, didn't I. So we had
a strange issue. We were talking about AI and something.
You know, talk show hosts now have studios. Now we're
in my days. We didn't do anything but talking to
a microphone and hit the microphone button. Now we all engineer.
But yes, I have a story of well, it's more

(18:20):
than just an engineering breakthrough and achievement for me.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
That's a lesson for us all.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
But first, John Decker, our White House correspondent, is here.
I'd promise I'm gonna go wait again, I'm going to
do it. Right after Decker, I can't make John Decker. Wait,
he's probably getting ready to get on Air Force One.
Have some caviare with the President. I am so sick
of hearing how much better his life is than ours.
Oh okay, there's only one football game this weekend as
we wait for the championship games to start.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's Army Navy. Of course, Decker's going.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Why is he taking a tennis guy to an Army
Navy game?

Speaker 5 (18:52):
He's taking a Georgetown guy to Army Navy. All right,
go ahead, and Bragg, why are you going to the
Army Navy game?

Speaker 14 (18:59):
I'm going to the Army Navy game. Could because the
Commander in chief is going to the Army Navy game,
and I'm in the pool. I'm invited, So I'm looking
forward to that tomorrow. I love the Army Navy game.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
See I thought I thought it was a Swedish ambassador that,
along with the king of his country, couldn't enjoy the
game unless you were there as well.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
I thought that's what it was. Just the president. It's
the President and the President.

Speaker 14 (19:24):
He loves he loves sports, he loves the Army Navy game.
I think that he's not going to choose sides Typically
what happens is the president flips the coin at the
very beginning of the game, figure out who's kicking off,
who's receiving, and then he spends one half on the
Army side the other half on the Navy side, shows
that he's amenable to being with both branches of the military.

(19:48):
And it's always an incredibly great day. It's so much
history associated with this game, as you know, and I've
been to it many times. I'm looking forward to being
with it, being at the game tomorrow with the President, well, not.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Taking the cheap shop, but just for the sake of analogy,
you know. Barack Obama played a lot of the community
organizer type tactics as president. Learned really quickly, Oh, it
doesn't work when you're everyone's president. When you're everyone's president
and you're the commander in chief overall the military, you
can't take sides. You got to go to one side,
then you got to go to the other. It is

(20:24):
one of the great traditions. These programs have gotten a
lot better in recent years, but the tradition has been
unmatched from the beginning. When they're all I mean, do
you remember being a small kid with your hands under
your chin watching your black and white TV. And Army
Navy came out and they were all in their uniforms.
It's bigger than life. But I'll tell you this dress warm.
It's there's something about the Army Navy game. It's always

(20:47):
a freezing affair. So I don't know what the forecast
is in Baltimore, but it'll be cold.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
It's cold. I was there last year with my wife.

Speaker 14 (20:54):
The game was played where the Commanders play their NFL
football games, and it was cold.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
It was really cool.

Speaker 14 (21:00):
Fortunately, we had access to, you know, some suite, so
he got to worm up there, which was great. But
you're right, both of these teams have gotten so much
better over the years. And you know what's remarkable is
you can't just recruit any individual to play for Army,
play for West Point, or to play for the Naval Academy.

(21:21):
You have to choose really incredible American young kids who
want to make their life immediately following graduation in the
US military. They're obligated to be in the US military
for five years after graduating.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
I don't want to be overly cute, but you know,
when I go back and I really study the footage.
Muhammad Ali was iconic, culturally iconic. When I go back,
I mean there were some fights he was pretty extraordinary.
But you know, I've seen better fighters. In fact, I
think Sugar Ray Leonard is, pound for pound, the greatest
fighter I ever saw in my life. We tend to

(21:58):
gravitate towards heavyweights. But here's my point. We missed the
best years of Muhammad Ali. So we will die never
knowing how good Muhammad Ali would have been because the
biggest years of his youth that happens to every graduate
of Army and Navy. In other words, how good would
Roger Staubach be We didn't get to see his four

(22:20):
best years of life.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
I mean, that's what we're at our best, twenty two
to twenty six.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, it's an extraordinary commitment to serving our country. They
always put on a great show, and then it always
ends united with the midship and Army.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
It's going to be extraordinary. It must be nice to
be you.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
I used to think I wanted to die and come
back as James Lieutenant Colonel Tarafano's frequent flyer Miles. I
think I want to die and come back as you.
You and your wife are always some more extraordinary. It
must be nice.

Speaker 14 (22:48):
Well, I've had a really incredible past few weeks. As
you know, I was with the President with the Christmas
tree lighting just one week ago, and then I was
with the President at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday
and then tomorrow at the Army Navy game. So, boy,
I've hit the jackpot.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
That's I thought I saw right next to the picture
of Marco Rubio behind his desk, I thought I saw
a snapshot of you. I'm telling you, your your star
is on the rise over there. Hey, stay warm, have
a great time. I have to say this because a
dear friend of mine, Scott Oads fall Son place for them.
Go Navy, appreciate it. Talk to you. Have a great
weekind John all right, forty three minutes after the hour.

(23:25):
So we had something extraordinary happen, and we're talking about
AI was that Wednesday?

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Yeah, Wednesday?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
And we get right to the juicy part of the
journey of discovery and then something I'm just gonna leave
it at this because it'll get too long. Something from
an engineering standpoint that was impossible happened. The cable goes
out and a Wi Fi hotspot at the exact same second.

(23:57):
Everybody has their theories of power surge, but I have
powers protectors, and then everything is run through a battery backup,
so I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
So the next day.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
The netgear for the hotspot is just out and it
won't restart. And I had it on my to do
list all day to go to AT and T. And
then I thought of my wonderful wife. Do you know
what my wife does? The whole reason I was gonna
tell this story was I was gonna make it the
talkback question of the day. There's nothing my wife can't
and doesn't do with a how to video, and it

(24:32):
always fascinated me. And mine won't live up to that,
but it always fascinated me. I really believe you know, honey,
I think I need a bypass. I'm having a heart attack.
Hang on a second. And I really think she would
google a video and perform the surgery, or at least
take a shot at it. I mean, there's nothing, and
I've seen her do electrical plumbing, take things apart.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
So I thought, I thought to myself, well, it's too
late to go to AT and T.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
I wonder, well, this had last thing I think of,
This had to happen to somebody. So I just google
my AT and T netcear hotspot won't reboot and it
won't gain its charge.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
What's wrong?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
And so they said, well it can be as simple
as a hard reboot, and I'm like, well, how do
you do that? And then it tells you how to
take the back off, take the battery out for one minute,
then put it back in and the whole thing started
up again.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Really, so that's my ode to.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
There's always a video for something, and I would have
gone all the way to AT and T.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
They probably went back and done that and handed it
back to me, but it really made me feel good.
And then I'm just wondering, what's the most It made
me curious because you know, I love my audience more
than me. What has my audience done, Like Andrea with
one of those videos, what's the most extraordinary thing? I rebuilt?
My engine? I built I know somebody this was a

(25:52):
story back and I can't remember when I was at WTN,
so it could have been anywhere in an eighteen year
piod of time.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
It built an entire freaking house.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Seeing those videos, can you imagine that you start with
a video. How do I lay sewage lines? And you
know PBC for plumbing and electrical, and then how do
I lay a slab?

Speaker 3 (26:11):
How do these?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Did the whole house? I took my LG dryer down
to the chassis. See what I mean with a YouTube video?
I mean I just rebooted a netcare.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
But you know, somebody out there listening to the show
has done something really extraordinary.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
There's only one thing Andrea has never figured out. Well,
there's a few about me, but what what is?

Speaker 13 (26:34):
I keep reading that and hearing it.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
There were no joints last night. Buccaneers fans know that.
I'll get to that in a moment.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
If you're just waking up, these are your top five
stories of the day. The President hosted a congressional ball. Well,
you know, Decker was there a congressional ball at the
White House Thursday night.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Mark Mayfield has the story. Well.

Speaker 11 (26:54):
Speaking to the crowd of attendees, Trump tounted his administration's
economic accomplishments.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
But we've been.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Ripped off and taken advantage of by friend and foe,
and in many cases friend was worse than foe.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
But not anymore.

Speaker 11 (27:08):
He went on to thank the lawmakers and the audience
Republican and Democrat alike for their work in Congress. Trump said,
regardless of their differences, lawmakers on both sides of the
Aisle can come together as Americans.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
A' Marknefield.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Ukrainian President Zelensky says that the latest talks with the
US were focused all on security guarantees.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Hasn't that been every conversation for the last three four years.

Speaker 12 (27:31):
A renewed push to end the war with Russia led
to discussions between Zelenski, Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio, Secretary
of War Pete Higsett, specially Envoys Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner.
Celeski noted the Budha Peste memorandum in nineteen ninety four
that failed to prevent a Russian invasion years after the
peace deal. Top US generals and NATO Secretary General Mark
Ruda were included in the discussion. Zelenski said he's working

(27:54):
on a revised peace plan to deliver to the US soon.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
I'm Jim Rope.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
I don't know how the conversation got out to what
will beat the lineup of primary candidates for the Democrats,
but I'll bet that's part of the discussion and how
to keep the mom Donnie momentum going through the midterms
next year. It's the DNC Winter Meetings and they're underway
in Los Angeles.

Speaker 13 (28:14):
It's already shaping up to be a preview of some
upcoming elections. Next year's midterm elections will be a major topic,
but so will the presidential election in three years. Some
of the politicians are likely to compete for the nomination
or in town for the meeting, and includes Governor Newsom
in Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker. The meeting also includes
a panel discussion on last month's elections in California, New York,

(28:35):
New Jersey, and Virginia. The Winter Meeting runs through Saturday.
I'm Tammy Trichuio.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh I Remember the first time I
heard it?

Speaker 11 (28:55):
The song recently crossed the two billion views mark, making
it the oldest song to reach that in YouTube history.
Bohemian Rhapsody crossed that milestone fifty years after it was released.
The six minute lead single appears on Queens at nineteen
seventy five A Night at the Opera album I'm Mark Mayfield.

you're sipping a coffee so proud of everything. The next
minute your ankle deep something burst, your ankle deep in water.

day to day wear and tear, so plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns,

Speaker 15 (31:56):
Michael d Lisa and Germantown, Tennessee. I am just like Queen.
I can find a video to fix anything. I've fixed washers, dryers, mowers,
portable heaters, things on my pool. So yes, love it,
been doing it for years. Love your show, Have a
great weekend, guys.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I love the show.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
I've learned out to drive a semi watching YouTube videos
about eight years ago.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
He's getting paid for it. Now, what are you doing
with your army teacher?

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Because I said, I have to root for Navy till
my friend's son graduates. I usually I usually root for
Army to sue you know, why are you such an
Army fan.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
All my relatives?

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Okay for the Army?

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, I you know, early this morning, I was gonna
tell that story about how I engineered. I mean, I
was gonna go to AT and T and then if
that didn't work, I was gonna call Premiere and they'd
have to send an engineer and we have to have
a different backup system installed. But I actually used to
YouTube video and I solved the problem myself. I never
even bothered any of my bosses. I'm very proud of
I used a YouTube video.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
I probably could.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
I actually did that with myself, But then it gave
me the idea. Wouldn't it be fun to hear the
callers all warning right?

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Tell us?

Speaker 8 (33:13):
I could have used that story with when I fixed
the microwave. I could have used the YouTube videot what
did you well, you guys, we couldn't get all the
screws back in the microwave there when wherever we put
it on the TV just.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
Went yes, exactly.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
But I don't think I'll ever top the one who
literally built their house because I mean, you know, it's
one thing to be handy, you know, with drywall or
I mean, somebody's always good at something cement, drywall, plumbing, electrical,
But to do an entire house yourself. I think my
friend Scott did his house all by himself, but that's

(33:50):
I don't think he can ever top that, right, an
entire house using YouTube videos. But uh, if you want
to share, I know most of you went down the
track of who might be the top candidates for the
Democrats in twenty twenty eight during the primary process. But
if you want to share with us, use that talkback button.
It's a little microphone on your iHeartRadio app. You press,
it counts you down, gives you thirty seconds. You don't

(34:11):
rot on hold, You make your comment, ask your question,

But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
