Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your

like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one on one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
gill Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Seven minutes after the hour, Good morning, and welcome to Monday, December,
the fifteenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. A
really troubling weekend and a really sad way to begin
the week, especially two weeks before the holidays. It appears
that famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle
were stabbed death and their Brentwood, Los Angeles home. The
(01:03):
suspect is believed to be the troubled thirty two year
old son Nicholas. We'll have more on that momentarily, Brown University.
Two dead, nine wounded. The person of interest has been released.
The manhunt now continues for the suspect. No motive or
suspect is known. Fifteen killed in Sydney turns out to
(01:24):
be father and son shooters targeting Jews during a Honakah celebration.
The victims include a ten year old child and a
Holocaust survivor a rabbi. All very very troubling ways to
start a Monday. Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent, is joining us. Roy.
Let's start with the case of Rob and Michelle Reiner
found dead in their home and reports are may have
been the son.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
That's what People magazine was first to report overnight. You know,
it's taken a long time, or had taken a long
time for the LAPD just to get the search warrant
to enter the home. But the spokesperson for the department
also saying that the community was not at risk, So
that's typically a message that they have someone certainly in custody.
(02:06):
My first thought fear was that it would have been
a murder suicide, but this looks like a homicide investigation.
And as you said, the thirty two year old son.
Nick has had a long public battle with drug addiction
homelessness as well, but still early on in this case,
and the investigation is just getting underway.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, we knew from the very beginning it was being
investigated as a homicide. I guess my first thoughts were
break in. Some of the reports even included break in.
Do we know who reported this or how they eat it?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Only right, only that it was a family member who
reported it is the description. We got nothing any more
specific than that. But yeah, obviously just the shock through
the community here. He is seventy eight years old, still
very active. I think spinal tap two was coming out
in just a matter of months. He's been a huge
activist for liberal and democratic causes, so that whole network
(03:03):
of people from Kamala Harris to Barack Obama have all
been responding and reacting to what happened last night. So
I think trying to figure out a motive here is
something that will frustrate us all.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Well, his father worked was iconic Carl Reiner.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
As we celebrate Dick Van Dyke's one hundredth and that
sort of all sort of falls under the.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Same Yeah, and you know, the son of Carl Reiner,
who works so closely with mel Brooks. They were very,
very dear friends, considered one of the funnier talented men.
You bring up that reference from the Dick Van Dyke Show.
But boy, the son Rob Reiner comes onto the scene
as meathead on all in the family. That's how much
of America was introduced to him. And while always politically
(03:49):
to one side, which is irrelevant to this story, he
gave everyone some of the most cherished movies of all time.
I mean, if there was ever a son who maybe
even exceeded his father, it was Rob Ryner Few good
Men on everybody's top five list. Ever, Harry met Sally
(04:10):
on Everyone's top five list An American President, which, by
the way, out of all of the A few good Men,
is the standard.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I mean, I think that was his greatest work America.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Stand by me, but American President's terrific movie.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, iconic movies.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Rob Reiner is a dead at the age of seventy eight,
and it appears as though he and his wife were
killed by their son, Nick, a thirty two year old.
All right, let's move on now to Sydney, Australia, fifteen dead.
This turns out to be a father and son killer.
And then of course the heroic Muslim man who took
out one of the shooters and paid a high price
for it.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Give us the latest done on the Sydney shooting.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Right, So, as you said, father and son gunman, the
father was killed by police there at the scene. The
son as hospitalized. We've seen some of the video of
the people who helped take him into custody saying they
were all beating on the guy, kicking him in the
head even as the police moved in to arrest him.
This is a real shock to the conscience of Australia.
You know, back in the shooting in Tasmania Port Arthur
(05:12):
years and decades ago, they sort of thought they passed
all these gun laws, thought this was behind them. But
now this has surfaced, and this happens after several years.
I mean, they've been seeing an increase in anti Semitic
activity in the country, so it's a bad combination there.
But this really has shocked a lot of Australia as
they thought that the laws they had.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Would protect him from just this kind of an attack.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I am sparing everybody any kind of political commentary during this,
but yeah, that is certainly a twist on that not
used to having violence in Sydney, and there is a
clear mode of there anti semitic. What about a brown university?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Brown University?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
The big turnaround last night the suspect, the version of
interest I should say, was released That came just around
eleven o'clock Eastern time last night, So that meant that
they had had this guy on their radar firm about
twelve or fifteen hours before deciding that the evidence just
didn't match up. So now essentially they're back to square one.
(06:10):
Two people died, two students died, nine others were injured
in this attack, and they don't know who was responsible,
and that the man is too out there and there's
no motive, and there's lousy, if any video at all.
They confirmed that really any video in the school is
useless from inside the school building. So they're urging the
neighbors to step forward with either their ring cameras, maybe
(06:32):
a dash camera caught something, you know. I know people
have said, come on, why can't you track his car?
They don't know what car re is it? They don't
know anything about it. You know, yes, there's probably video
of his car, but no one knows what to look for.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't know if I thought crossed your mind, but
imagine if we put all of our time for weeks
and weeks and weeks, and all of our attention on
any one of these cases, what kind of a ride
we'd get, Like with the Charlie Kirk shooting and maybe
full circle that'll give you more perspective if I'm the
Charlie Kirk shooting. But yeah, this is and I will
mention too. I guess all remaining classes canceled the Brown
(07:06):
University for the remainder of the semester. So oh rory,
what a terrible weekend. All right, we'll have more rugby
back next hour and we're continuing to gather information. So
again recapping the top story, Rob Reiner. I'm trying to
think it has to be eleven Academy Award nominations, nineteen
(07:30):
Golden Globe nominations. I think we can say actor fame
director Rob Reiner dead at the age of seventy eight
along with his wife, Michelle sixty eight, and all indications
are the killer was their son, Nicholas, age thirty two.
What an awful, awful story, right, I hear you breathing.
I don't know if you want to say anything.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh. I was just stunned when I saw the saying.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Then when I went back and looked at this body
of work, I'm like, oh my god, well I had
totally forgot. Princess Bride, Princess Bride, Stand by Me, col
film I'm a Spinal Tap, one of my favorite movies
of all time.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, and the Meathead Meathead, which.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, they had the for the news report, they used
a clip of Carol O'Connor as Archie Bunker, you know,
calling a meathead. I didn't think that was appropriate at
this time, so I excluded that. But you know, the
he had to I'll never forget when I was interviewing Rudy,
(08:42):
the real Rudy in real life, and I was fascinated.
I was like, was your brother really that big of
a jerk? And he was like, no, no, no, my
brother was great. All my brothers were great. But you know,
in order to tell a story in a certain period
of time, somebody has to represent, in this case, all
the doubters, all the naysayers, uh, you know, in order
(09:06):
to build the conflict.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
In the movie.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But no, that that isn't what my brother, And that's
kind of what Meathead did, didn't. Meathead and Gloria, to
some degree, they represented everything of the hippies of the sixties,
into the into the you know, I guess rebellious generation
of the seventies. Archie represented everything very old thinking, old school.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
But going back and thinking about it, did you did
you really know his name other than Meathead?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
No, nobody knew it. Well do it right now?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I still don't, No, I do kind of stivic right, well,
Michael Stivick, Yeah, yeah, that was sorry, but he was
just mead but that you know, And he played the
character great and and basically what and this is why
a lot of people refer to him as meat referred
to him as Meathead, was because the argumentative delivery and
style that he would politically representing the left carry out
(10:01):
look just like the character Meathead played the role of Meathead.
But when you think about from a right yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was gonna say, from an acting standpoint, that character
was you know, you can't have all the family without
Carol O'Connor, and you can't have it without you know,
Jean Stapleton or was Jeane Stapleton, right correct, Yes, Oh
you're all quick to say that. You know, she did
have a sister that I used to always confuse. Yeah,
I remember Maureen Stapleton.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
They're very nice.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, but without Edith and Archie, that's the whole show.
But you get beyond that, and you got to have
Meathead and Gloria. Rob Ryan's seventy eight years old. But yes,
the body of work. Few good men. Well, I'll ask you, guys,
do I quote any movie more than that?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I don't think I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Always doing too when you whenever you go, well, that
would be helpful, and I'd go, do you believe that? Jeffrey,
do you believe I'm here to help you? I do
the line. But a few good men? I mean, I
think that's one of the all time classics. Some might
argue even stand by me, Harry met Sally. Definitely an
all time classic. And I can't think of a movie
Andrew and I have enjoyed more than an American president
over the years.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
This is tragic.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And to know it was the son, or you know
it is believed to be the son killing his mother
and father.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
This is this is just.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
An awful, awful story to wake up to But anyway,
we'll keep you posted on the very latest information. In
the case of Rob Ryaner and his wife Michelle, it
is pretty solidly believed it was the son Nicholas, And
it's kind of like what Rory said. We had an
instance here in Franklin, Tennessee, and there was a horrific
(11:37):
death of a mother and a child and then the
police turned around and very and you could tell by
the way they were talking. I had the highest respect
for how this was handled. But whenever you have two
people dead like this and there's no suspect, there's no what,
no investigation, that means it's family related and they know
(12:01):
so it's most assuredly going to be tragically son Nicholas
thirty two years old, a lifelong troubles with drug addiction
that killed his mother and father, Robin Michelle Reiner in Brentwood,
Los Angeles, California. Fifteen killed in Sydney and again father
(12:22):
and son killers. Just absolutely tragic in a Brown university
too deadnine wounded, and the person of interest has been
released and the manhunt for the suspect begins and doesn't
have much to build upon. That's what we're waking up
to on this Monday, December fifteenth. All Right, history shows
that every market can fall, every currency can collapse. And
(12:45):
today the dollar is shrinking. We're trillions in debt thirty
seven and growing if record high markets define gravity. But
stocks can't go up forever. Meanwhile, grocery, housing, transportation costs,
they're all rising, and the dollar buice less and less
every day. So if and when a crash hits, your
stocks won't save you. Dollars won't save you. One thing will.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Gold.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Gold has always survived, and that's why central banks are
buying gold by the ton. Billionaires are stocking up everyday.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
One Chance to Live This Monday, December fifteenth, twenty twenty five.
We're going to understand it together, because we're all in
it together. There'll be a lot of attention on mass shootings.
We had one in Australia. Motive pretty clear, anti Semitic.
We had a shooting a brown motive unclear, no suspect,
a complete man hunt, no clues to build upon. In
the case of director and actor Rob Reiner and his
(14:19):
wife Michelle, it's looking tragically more and more like they
were killed by their son.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
These are your top five stories of the day. Let's
start with Loreno.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Actor and director Rob Reiner is dead at the age
of seventy eight. Reiner and his wife were found dead
inside their Brentwood home in Los Angeles. The incident to
currently under investigation. Reiner directed films such as Spinal Tap,
Coming Out with Spinal Tap two, Stand By Me, Princess Bride,
Few Good Men, Harry Met Sally. He first came to
national prominence as an actor in the CBS hit sitcom
(14:52):
All in the Family, playing the role of Meathead, the
son in law of our Chief Bunker. Eleven total Academy nominations,
nineteen Golden Globe non nations. Whether you sided with him
politically or not, you can't argue with his body of
iconic work. You may not have loved him, but I'll
bet you loved his movies. President Trump is reflecting on
(15:14):
three deadly mass shootings over the weekend on.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
University, nine injured and two are looking down on this
right now from heaven. And likewise, in Australia, as you know,
there was a terrible attack.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
At least two American soldiers were killed while patrolling in
Syria on Saturday. The other reference, of course, was to
the sixteen killed and forty injured at a Honica celebration
in Sydney. Then two people killed and several others injured
when the gunment open fire Saturday at Brown University in Providence,
Rhode Island. The President called it a very rough day.
(15:49):
As for the shooting of two American troops in Syria,
President is vowing there will be a retaliation.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
The President says it was an ISIS attack and that
the US will retaliates. US Central Command confirmed the deaths
of two Army soldiers and their interpreter on Saturday. They've
since been identified as members of the Iowa Army National Guard.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says she's reached out to the
families of the soldiers. Sedcom also says three other service
(16:16):
members were injured as a result of an ambush by
a lone gunman who was killed. I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, a new report doesn't do much for the argument
of there's nothing wrong with marijuana.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
In fact, it's good for you.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
The study, published this month in the journal JAMMA found
that some FDA approved drugs containing marijuana's active ingredient THHC
do provide benefits for things like chemotherapy induced nausea and
boosting weight and HIV patients. Use of cannabis for pain management, however,
didn't have any solid clinical evidence of effectiveness. The researchers
say there are real dangers, citing evidence that adolescents using
(16:51):
high potency cannabis have a higher chance of developing psychotic symptoms.
I'm Tanny Triheo.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
This is Josh and I'mora, Alabama.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
My morning show is Your morning show is Michael Dell.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Jorna, Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
on great radio stations across the country, like News Talk
ninety two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
(17:25):
live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast. Early Bird gets the warm and
Welcome to Monday, December fifteenth. It really is a sad
way to start the week, a very very violent weekend
around the world, just two weeks before Christmas. We start
with famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle
(17:48):
stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home. All
indications are it was their son, Nick, a very troubled
thirty two year old with a lifelong drunk problem, say
lifelong since fifteen. Meanwhile, all remaining classes have been canceled
a Brown University. The suspect that was being held in
custody overnight has been released. We're back to square one
(18:10):
a lot of people. I've mentioned this to Rory and
I'm trying to avoid all talk radio today.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
In terms of it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm not going to be the one to say, oh,
you think guns are the solution, gun laws, Look at Australia.
I'm not going to do that. That's for other shows
to do. But I mean, Brown University, no cameras anywhere
in that school. I want to get some. But can
(18:39):
you imagine if we applied the scrutiny like we have
and to Charlie Kirk's murder to any of these three cases.
Don't you wonder how many saw Rob Reiner? Well, at
first we didn't even know it was Rob Reiner. But
if you had a personal moment you want to, oh,
please don't be, Please don't be, And then what are
you left with? Oh, it was the son. And it's
(19:02):
just a reminder that we got troubles all around us
from many, many different motives. This season should remind us
of the only source of peace.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
And boy we needed.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And it really doesn't matter the culprit, although when you
have a clear motive, you do get a clearer understanding,
which is certainly the case in Australia. But I can
even block that. Sure, it's bizarre. The motive was clearly
(19:37):
anti Semitic. The two shooters were clearly a father and son. Tine,
isn't that sick? A father and son uniting for the
outing of killing other people in blind hatred. I can't
(19:59):
even chew and swallow on that. And that's the bad
part of the story. Then you get to a ten
year old girl being the youngest victim, a Holocaust surviving
rabbi being the older victim, fifteen dead in Sydney targeting
Jews at a Hanuka celebration. Father and son shooters, but
(20:22):
you know who it was. It's knuck up behind three.
Think of the courage of that. This guy's got a
rifle standing by a tree. And before you get too
far into your big speech about Islam, this is why
we sensibly and patiently speak the truth here. There were
(20:43):
three types of Mohammed. Therefore there are three types of Muslims.
Jihadis blindly hate and kill. And they will first target
Israel and Jews, then the Great Satan, America and Christians
their ultimate objective world rule. Why because that's when they
hit knee mom appears. They fulfill their prophecy, and they
(21:08):
don't respect free will in the process. And that's where
political Islam comes in. And then there are peace loving
Muslims that are good people. Now the problems you don't
know which the three they are until they act. Well,
guess what two of them acted.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yesterday?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
A father and son were shooting and another muslim sneaks
up behind the one shooter that takes a lot of guts,
grabs him from behind, and there's a struggle.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
He could have easily ended up dead.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I still can't figure out who shot him, because he
got the rifle away immediately, and now he wouldn't. He
didn't immediately shoot the guy on the ground, So I
was wondering if he got one off from the ground
with a pistol or something else that was on him.
You can't quite see that in the video, and you
haven't been able to confirm anything on that one, right, Red,
Is it presumed that the other shooters shot him.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Now what they're saying is in the struggle he was
shot in the hand. Yeah, there's a lot of bravery,
So careful with all these narratives. You know, sometimes just
bad things happen. Evil exists, sometimes it's a mentally ill
or drug addicted son that betrays his own mother and father.
(22:19):
Sometimes it's a Muslim father and son with another Muslim
with the bravery to take the gun away from one
and get shot in the process. And I guess at
Brown University we don't know anything because the one person
of interest has been released overnight.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think read.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
All we have is a very grainy street image of
a man walking and turning left by a light post
and going down the street. That's it. That's all we
got to go on. And Brown University has decided to
cancel all classes, as you can only imagine with this
guy still on the loose for the remainder of the semester.
(22:57):
That's the sad, sad Monday up to.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I mean, they were in the process of doing finals,
but I find it hard to believe that they are
not businesses that probably have more video than Brown University
did where they can stick together something of his where
he was walking.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah. So, and then you know I mentioned this that
sounds so pre thought. I say, this a complete desperation.
I've talked about this many times with David Sanadi on
the air. We're human beings, we have capacity issues, The
(23:35):
biggest problem with the Internet. Nobody gets the biggest problem
with social media, the biggest dilemma of social media. People
don't even get yet, let alone ever state. And here
comes the most overwhelming AI, especially when it gets to
a ga agi very soon. We're not We're not. We're
(23:56):
not capable of experiencing everything we're experiencing. Now, am I experienced?
Am I capable? And does God say I'm capable?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
And when I'm not?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
He will give him our burdens and our anxieties and
our pain. He'll bottle tears, He'll ease our yoke, all
of that that's between us and God with what life
throws at you. With a relative, with a friend, but
you get on Facebook and you brag about having five
thousand friends, Well, five thousand friends can produce a lot
(24:29):
of death, a lot of illness, a lot of dead pets,
a lot of sorrow, and it can get very depressing
fast because you have capacity issues. Then you throw in
the news like this, and someone's got to teach you a
deal that I'm telling you, there's only so much I
can feel in a day, only so much I can
(24:52):
deal with in a day. I have to look at
these things and say thank you God for the movies
Rob Reiner made and what they meant to me. I
can't imagine what it's like to die with my wife
in my home in such a painful way, of being
(25:12):
stabbed to death and then finding out it was their
own son. And I literally tell God, I'm not capable
of handling this and I can't carry this today along
with everything going on in my life that I must,
and so I just kind of confess it, tell him
(25:33):
what he already knows, and then I just with all
my heart said, God, surround this with peace and healing. Time,
released this pain to those who love them. Bottle their tears,
because you gotta move on. It's a capacity issue. I
have three kids in college. I can't imagine if there
(25:55):
was a shooting at their university. So I just give
that to God. He can go to those parents, or
he can go to those family members. He can make
a difference. All I can do is care and make
myself sad and miserable. I can pray that God gives
them leads or clues or break through evidence to lead
(26:18):
to the person who did this so there can be justice.
And then you gotta move on. This was an overwhelming
weekend of violence and sadness, especially two weeks before the holiday.
All I could think of was the latter be peace
on earth and let it begin with me. How desperately
(26:39):
we need that. And the last thing we need is
talk radio now to come on today and make it
a big fight.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You see how those drug those gut laws worked in Australia.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I mean, come on, people are dead. Grow up.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Sure it's true, it's a bad time to bring it up.
You got a troubled side killing his mother and father.
You got anti Semitic Muslims. We believe targeting in Australia.
We don't know what happened at Brown University. Isn't the
pain enough to process? There's a time for all those
(27:17):
levels of facts. It's just not today. By the way,
the Trump administration has until Friday to release the so
called Epstein files. Remember they were given thirty days and apparently,
Jeffrey they planned to take all thirty.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Howeverywhere close to the deadline. I got you know, I
got you all of our talk radio analysis. We never
thought about.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Okay, show what if they agree to release the files?
Congress votes to release the files, and then you don't reation.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
What do we do?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
She having three cheven chevs? What but the deadline? Impeat them? Still,
impeach them, be just a peach.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Them for the first time since twenty fourteen, so over
ten seasons. The Kansas City Chiefs are not in the playoffs.
And just where we were enjoying the Patriots not being
in the playoffs although the Bills. No, everybody was counting
the Bills out except for me and my brother Vic. Really,
this ain't over yet.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
We got Josh.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Allen and what a huge win for the Bills. That's
the kind of win that could direct that team to
win out. Red and I were kicking around. I mean,
Houston is much better than people are noticing. The Green
Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears, they're very good. I don't
(28:34):
know what to think of New England. I'm not ready
to count the Bills out. And but here's a part
of me the things I guess right now.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
The Broncos are the gold standard.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
They got a lot, but so to the Rams, even
though they you know, struggle the times yesterday.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
So I think it's going to be excited.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I think once the playoffs begin, any team you're seeing
from wild.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Card Saturday all the way.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
To the AFC NFC championship games. Any team can win
the Super Bowl. I'm in thorough belief of that. That's
how and it's not just parody in terms of parody
down just like seven really good football teams.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I still there's something about that Rams team that's like
a twelve headed monster.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Now, if they lose Pukunuka Pukakua for a you know,
an extended period of time, which I doubt. I'm more
worried about that hamstring. You know that if you lose
two receivers part of the playoffs, you remember you gotta
be playing your best football and be injury free heading
into the playoffs. I think right now that makes me
give the advantage of the Broncos, and probably the Packers
(29:43):
are Bears and I can't decide, though I know the
Packers beat them in that game.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Either one of those teams could go all the way.
Some pretty exciting stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
And then, oh, did I even mention that we have
a championship college football beginning on Friday night Alabama and
OUs Saturday Miami Texas A and m two lane Old Miss.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Well, could Tulin could give them a game. James Madison
has no business playing Oregon. This one didn't really probably
need to go much deeper than the four teams in
a bye week Indiana, Ohio, State, Georgia and Texas Tech.
But so we have that to look forward to, and
holiday shopping, which I haven't begun. Although I named my
son properly, my saint Nicholas, he did all his Christmas shopping.
(30:27):
They're the only presence under the tree, his presence for
everyone living up to his name.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Are you looking at me? It's so strange which one you? Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Because I'm listening to you. Oh, I didn't for a minute,
I thought you were frozen. No, I'm not saying anything
that compelling.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I engaged in the conversation. Have you done? I've bought
nothing yet. I have done a little bit here and there.
What is it your I mean, like, do you and
Andrea still swap GIFs?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
We do, and we're famous for the Okay, we're not
going to spend on the kids, and then one of
us does and the other doesn't, and then the other
feels foolish.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
We always now it's just kind of.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Like a I don't know, we're not going to swap
gifts but throughout the month of December, we're like, hey,
I bought you this. Like I went to Lexington this
weekend to see my brother and I found the sweatshirt.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I was like, when do you will love this? And
so I bought it and then I came home last night. God,
she said, I got your prize.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
You know, so hinting that now, don't be a fool
on Christmas and not have one for me, right exactly?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Well, no, not necessarily that, but I mean we.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Highlight that my kids are of age and have money,
and I could say, I know what you have. I've
told all of them, like the expensive things that I
know we'll make.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
I shouldn't talk because she can she listens sometimes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
So that'll leave me just the you know, the meaningful
little trinkets. Sure, but yeah, I've done no shopping, so
I got all that shopping ahead. And I'm so glad
we didn't do our twelve Days of Christmas. I wouldn't
want to be doing cheerful Christmas stories and songs today,
but Thursday and Friday will be my top ten Christmas
stories and songs. A holiday tradition here at your morning show.
That's for you to look forward to when we come
(32:11):
back Top five stories of the day. Hey, it's Christmas,
and as we celebrate the gift of life, you have
an opportunity to share a gift that could lead to life.
Imagine a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, feeling alone,
unsure of what to do, searching for hope. Oh, there's
a lot of pressure to terminate the pregnancy, but not
(32:33):
a lot of hope and meaningful love and care to
make the decision of life. And that's what we're after.
And unlike Mary, it's not about angels appearing, It's about
you by listeners appearing. You see, we found the game changer.
It's the ultrasound. When a young woman sees her baby
(32:55):
for herself, here's its heartbeat, for itself, she more than
not chooses life. We want to be there with that
influence in that sacred moment where she has to make
a choice. Preborn's mission is to help her fine the courage,
faith and support. So this Christmas twenty eight dollars will
(33:16):
provide an ultrasound and more times than not, that provides
the choice of life. When you add our donor, who's
matching every gift your twenty eight dollars becomes fifty six
dollars and at that point, statistically, we know we've saved
a life. To donate to Preborn and be a part

point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
gill Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Seven minutes after the hour, Good morning, and welcome to Monday, December,
the fifteenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. A
really troubling weekend and a really sad way to begin
the week, especially two weeks before the holidays. It appears
that famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle
were stabbed death and their Brentwood, Los Angeles home. The
(01:03):
suspect is believed to be the troubled thirty two year
old son Nicholas. We'll have more on that momentarily, Brown University.
Two dead, nine wounded. The person of interest has been released.
The manhunt now continues for the suspect. No motive or
suspect is known. Fifteen killed in Sydney turns out to
(01:24):
be father and son shooters targeting Jews during a Honakah celebration.
The victims include a ten year old child and a
Holocaust survivor a rabbi. All very very troubling ways to
start a Monday. Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent, is joining us. Roy.
Let's start with the case of Rob and Michelle Reiner
found dead in their home and reports are may have
been the son.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
That's what People magazine was first to report overnight. You know,
it's taken a long time, or had taken a long
time for the LAPD just to get the search warrant
to enter the home. But the spokesperson for the department
also saying that the community was not at risk, So
that's typically a message that they have someone certainly in custody.
(02:06):
My first thought fear was that it would have been
a murder suicide, but this looks like a homicide investigation.
And as you said, the thirty two year old son.
Nick has had a long public battle with drug addiction
homelessness as well, but still early on in this case,
and the investigation is just getting underway.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, we knew from the very beginning it was being
investigated as a homicide. I guess my first thoughts were
break in. Some of the reports even included break in.
Do we know who reported this or how they eat it?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Only right, only that it was a family member who
reported it is the description. We got nothing any more
specific than that. But yeah, obviously just the shock through
the community here. He is seventy eight years old, still
very active. I think spinal tap two was coming out
in just a matter of months. He's been a huge
activist for liberal and democratic causes, so that whole network
(03:03):
of people from Kamala Harris to Barack Obama have all
been responding and reacting to what happened last night. So
I think trying to figure out a motive here is
something that will frustrate us all.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Well, his father worked was iconic Carl Reiner.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
As we celebrate Dick Van Dyke's one hundredth and that
sort of all sort of falls under the.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Same Yeah, and you know, the son of Carl Reiner,
who works so closely with mel Brooks. They were very,
very dear friends, considered one of the funnier talented men.
You bring up that reference from the Dick Van Dyke Show.
But boy, the son Rob Reiner comes onto the scene
as meathead on all in the family. That's how much
of America was introduced to him. And while always politically
(03:49):
to one side, which is irrelevant to this story, he
gave everyone some of the most cherished movies of all time.
I mean, if there was ever a son who maybe
even exceeded his father, it was Rob Ryner Few good
Men on everybody's top five list. Ever, Harry met Sally
(04:10):
on Everyone's top five list An American President, which, by
the way, out of all of the A few good Men,
is the standard.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I mean, I think that was his greatest work America.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Stand by me, but American President's terrific movie.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, iconic movies.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Rob Reiner is a dead at the age of seventy eight,
and it appears as though he and his wife were
killed by their son, Nick, a thirty two year old.
All right, let's move on now to Sydney, Australia, fifteen dead.
This turns out to be a father and son killer.
And then of course the heroic Muslim man who took
out one of the shooters and paid a high price
for it.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Give us the latest done on the Sydney shooting.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Right, So, as you said, father and son gunman, the
father was killed by police there at the scene. The
son as hospitalized. We've seen some of the video of
the people who helped take him into custody saying they
were all beating on the guy, kicking him in the
head even as the police moved in to arrest him.
This is a real shock to the conscience of Australia.
You know, back in the shooting in Tasmania Port Arthur
(05:12):
years and decades ago, they sort of thought they passed
all these gun laws, thought this was behind them. But
now this has surfaced, and this happens after several years.
I mean, they've been seeing an increase in anti Semitic
activity in the country, so it's a bad combination there.
But this really has shocked a lot of Australia as
they thought that the laws they had.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Would protect him from just this kind of an attack.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I am sparing everybody any kind of political commentary during this,
but yeah, that is certainly a twist on that not
used to having violence in Sydney, and there is a
clear mode of there anti semitic. What about a brown university?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Brown University?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
The big turnaround last night the suspect, the version of
interest I should say, was released That came just around
eleven o'clock Eastern time last night, So that meant that
they had had this guy on their radar firm about
twelve or fifteen hours before deciding that the evidence just
didn't match up. So now essentially they're back to square one.
(06:10):
Two people died, two students died, nine others were injured
in this attack, and they don't know who was responsible,
and that the man is too out there and there's
no motive, and there's lousy, if any video at all.
They confirmed that really any video in the school is
useless from inside the school building. So they're urging the
neighbors to step forward with either their ring cameras, maybe
(06:32):
a dash camera caught something, you know. I know people
have said, come on, why can't you track his car?
They don't know what car re is it? They don't
know anything about it. You know, yes, there's probably video
of his car, but no one knows what to look for.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't know if I thought crossed your mind, but
imagine if we put all of our time for weeks
and weeks and weeks, and all of our attention on
any one of these cases, what kind of a ride
we'd get, Like with the Charlie Kirk shooting and maybe
full circle that'll give you more perspective if I'm the
Charlie Kirk shooting. But yeah, this is and I will
mention too. I guess all remaining classes canceled the Brown
(07:06):
University for the remainder of the semester. So oh rory,
what a terrible weekend. All right, we'll have more rugby
back next hour and we're continuing to gather information. So
again recapping the top story, Rob Reiner. I'm trying to
think it has to be eleven Academy Award nominations, nineteen
(07:30):
Golden Globe nominations. I think we can say actor fame
director Rob Reiner dead at the age of seventy eight
along with his wife, Michelle sixty eight, and all indications
are the killer was their son, Nicholas, age thirty two.
What an awful, awful story, right, I hear you breathing.
I don't know if you want to say anything.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh. I was just stunned when I saw the saying.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Then when I went back and looked at this body
of work, I'm like, oh my god, well I had
totally forgot. Princess Bride, Princess Bride, Stand by Me, col
film I'm a Spinal Tap, one of my favorite movies
of all time.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, and the Meathead Meathead, which.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, they had the for the news report, they used
a clip of Carol O'Connor as Archie Bunker, you know,
calling a meathead. I didn't think that was appropriate at
this time, so I excluded that. But you know, the
he had to I'll never forget when I was interviewing Rudy,
(08:42):
the real Rudy in real life, and I was fascinated.
I was like, was your brother really that big of
a jerk? And he was like, no, no, no, my
brother was great. All my brothers were great. But you know,
in order to tell a story in a certain period
of time, somebody has to represent, in this case, all
the doubters, all the naysayers, uh, you know, in order
(09:06):
to build the conflict.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
In the movie.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But no, that that isn't what my brother, And that's
kind of what Meathead did, didn't. Meathead and Gloria, to
some degree, they represented everything of the hippies of the sixties,
into the into the you know, I guess rebellious generation
of the seventies. Archie represented everything very old thinking, old school.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
But going back and thinking about it, did you did
you really know his name other than Meathead?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
No, nobody knew it. Well do it right now?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I still don't, No, I do kind of stivic right, well,
Michael Stivick, Yeah, yeah, that was sorry, but he was
just mead but that you know, And he played the
character great and and basically what and this is why
a lot of people refer to him as meat referred
to him as Meathead, was because the argumentative delivery and
style that he would politically representing the left carry out
(10:01):
look just like the character Meathead played the role of Meathead.
But when you think about from a right yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was gonna say, from an acting standpoint, that character
was you know, you can't have all the family without
Carol O'Connor, and you can't have it without you know,
Jean Stapleton or was Jeane Stapleton, right correct, Yes, Oh
you're all quick to say that. You know, she did
have a sister that I used to always confuse. Yeah,
I remember Maureen Stapleton.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
They're very nice.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, but without Edith and Archie, that's the whole show.
But you get beyond that, and you got to have
Meathead and Gloria. Rob Ryan's seventy eight years old. But yes,
the body of work. Few good men. Well, I'll ask you, guys,
do I quote any movie more than that?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I don't think I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Always doing too when you whenever you go, well, that
would be helpful, and I'd go, do you believe that? Jeffrey,
do you believe I'm here to help you? I do
the line. But a few good men? I mean, I
think that's one of the all time classics. Some might
argue even stand by me, Harry met Sally. Definitely an
all time classic. And I can't think of a movie
Andrew and I have enjoyed more than an American president
over the years.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
This is tragic.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And to know it was the son, or you know
it is believed to be the son killing his mother
and father.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
This is this is just.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
An awful, awful story to wake up to But anyway,
we'll keep you posted on the very latest information. In
the case of Rob Ryaner and his wife Michelle, it
is pretty solidly believed it was the son Nicholas, And
it's kind of like what Rory said. We had an
instance here in Franklin, Tennessee, and there was a horrific
(11:37):
death of a mother and a child and then the
police turned around and very and you could tell by
the way they were talking. I had the highest respect
for how this was handled. But whenever you have two
people dead like this and there's no suspect, there's no what,
no investigation, that means it's family related and they know
(12:01):
so it's most assuredly going to be tragically son Nicholas
thirty two years old, a lifelong troubles with drug addiction
that killed his mother and father, Robin Michelle Reiner in Brentwood,
Los Angeles, California. Fifteen killed in Sydney and again father
(12:22):
and son killers. Just absolutely tragic in a Brown university
too deadnine wounded, and the person of interest has been
released and the manhunt for the suspect begins and doesn't
have much to build upon. That's what we're waking up
to on this Monday, December fifteenth. All Right, history shows
that every market can fall, every currency can collapse. And
(12:45):
today the dollar is shrinking. We're trillions in debt thirty
seven and growing if record high markets define gravity. But
stocks can't go up forever. Meanwhile, grocery, housing, transportation costs,
they're all rising, and the dollar buice less and less
every day. So if and when a crash hits, your
stocks won't save you. Dollars won't save you. One thing will.
Speaker 4 (13:08):

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Gold has always survived, and that's why central banks are
buying gold by the ton. Billionaires are stocking up everyday.

This is your morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
One Chance to Live This Monday, December fifteenth, twenty twenty five.
We're going to understand it together, because we're all in
it together. There'll be a lot of attention on mass shootings.
We had one in Australia. Motive pretty clear, anti Semitic.
We had a shooting a brown motive unclear, no suspect,
a complete man hunt, no clues to build upon. In
the case of director and actor Rob Reiner and his
(14:19):
wife Michelle, it's looking tragically more and more like they
were killed by their son.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
These are your top five stories of the day. Let's
start with Loreno.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Actor and director Rob Reiner is dead at the age
of seventy eight. Reiner and his wife were found dead
inside their Brentwood home in Los Angeles. The incident to
currently under investigation. Reiner directed films such as Spinal Tap,
Coming Out with Spinal Tap two, Stand By Me, Princess Bride,
Few Good Men, Harry Met Sally. He first came to
national prominence as an actor in the CBS hit sitcom
(14:52):
All in the Family, playing the role of Meathead, the
son in law of our Chief Bunker. Eleven total Academy nominations,
nineteen Golden Globe non nations. Whether you sided with him
politically or not, you can't argue with his body of
iconic work. You may not have loved him, but I'll
bet you loved his movies. President Trump is reflecting on
(15:14):
three deadly mass shootings over the weekend on.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
University, nine injured and two are looking down on this
right now from heaven. And likewise, in Australia, as you know,
there was a terrible attack.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
At least two American soldiers were killed while patrolling in
Syria on Saturday. The other reference, of course, was to
the sixteen killed and forty injured at a Honica celebration
in Sydney. Then two people killed and several others injured
when the gunment open fire Saturday at Brown University in Providence,
Rhode Island. The President called it a very rough day.
(15:49):
As for the shooting of two American troops in Syria,
President is vowing there will be a retaliation.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
The President says it was an ISIS attack and that
the US will retaliates. US Central Command confirmed the deaths
of two Army soldiers and their interpreter on Saturday. They've
since been identified as members of the Iowa Army National Guard.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says she's reached out to the
families of the soldiers. Sedcom also says three other service
(16:16):
members were injured as a result of an ambush by
a lone gunman who was killed. I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, a new report doesn't do much for the argument
of there's nothing wrong with marijuana.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
In fact, it's good for you.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
The study, published this month in the journal JAMMA found
that some FDA approved drugs containing marijuana's active ingredient THHC
do provide benefits for things like chemotherapy induced nausea and
boosting weight and HIV patients. Use of cannabis for pain management, however,
didn't have any solid clinical evidence of effectiveness. The researchers
say there are real dangers, citing evidence that adolescents using
(16:51):
high potency cannabis have a higher chance of developing psychotic symptoms.
I'm Tanny Triheo.

us for the podcast. Early Bird gets the warm and
Welcome to Monday, December fifteenth. It really is a sad
way to start the week, a very very violent weekend
around the world, just two weeks before Christmas. We start
with famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle
(17:48):
stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home. All
indications are it was their son, Nick, a very troubled
thirty two year old with a lifelong drunk problem, say
lifelong since fifteen. Meanwhile, all remaining classes have been canceled
a Brown University. The suspect that was being held in
custody overnight has been released. We're back to square one
(18:10):
a lot of people. I've mentioned this to Rory and
I'm trying to avoid all talk radio today.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
In terms of it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm not going to be the one to say, oh,
you think guns are the solution, gun laws, Look at Australia.
I'm not going to do that. That's for other shows
to do. But I mean, Brown University, no cameras anywhere
in that school. I want to get some. But can
(18:39):
you imagine if we applied the scrutiny like we have
and to Charlie Kirk's murder to any of these three cases.
Don't you wonder how many saw Rob Reiner? Well, at
first we didn't even know it was Rob Reiner. But
if you had a personal moment you want to, oh,
please don't be, Please don't be, And then what are
you left with? Oh, it was the son. And it's
(19:02):
just a reminder that we got troubles all around us
from many, many different motives. This season should remind us
of the only source of peace.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
And boy we needed.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And it really doesn't matter the culprit, although when you
have a clear motive, you do get a clearer understanding,
which is certainly the case in Australia. But I can
even block that. Sure, it's bizarre. The motive was clearly
(19:37):
anti Semitic. The two shooters were clearly a father and son. Tine,
isn't that sick? A father and son uniting for the
outing of killing other people in blind hatred. I can't
(19:59):
even chew and swallow on that. And that's the bad
part of the story. Then you get to a ten
year old girl being the youngest victim, a Holocaust surviving
rabbi being the older victim, fifteen dead in Sydney targeting
Jews at a Hanuka celebration. Father and son shooters, but
(20:22):
you know who it was. It's knuck up behind three.
Think of the courage of that. This guy's got a
rifle standing by a tree. And before you get too
far into your big speech about Islam, this is why
we sensibly and patiently speak the truth here. There were
(20:43):
three types of Mohammed. Therefore there are three types of Muslims.
Jihadis blindly hate and kill. And they will first target
Israel and Jews, then the Great Satan, America and Christians
their ultimate objective world rule. Why because that's when they
hit knee mom appears. They fulfill their prophecy, and they
(21:08):
don't respect free will in the process. And that's where
political Islam comes in. And then there are peace loving
Muslims that are good people. Now the problems you don't
know which the three they are until they act. Well,
guess what two of them acted.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yesterday?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
A father and son were shooting and another muslim sneaks
up behind the one shooter that takes a lot of guts,
grabs him from behind, and there's a struggle.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
He could have easily ended up dead.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I still can't figure out who shot him, because he
got the rifle away immediately, and now he wouldn't. He
didn't immediately shoot the guy on the ground, So I
was wondering if he got one off from the ground
with a pistol or something else that was on him.
You can't quite see that in the video, and you
haven't been able to confirm anything on that one, right, Red,
Is it presumed that the other shooters shot him.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Now what they're saying is in the struggle he was
shot in the hand. Yeah, there's a lot of bravery,
So careful with all these narratives. You know, sometimes just
bad things happen. Evil exists, sometimes it's a mentally ill
or drug addicted son that betrays his own mother and father.
(22:19):
Sometimes it's a Muslim father and son with another Muslim
with the bravery to take the gun away from one
and get shot in the process. And I guess at
Brown University we don't know anything because the one person
of interest has been released overnight.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think read.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
All we have is a very grainy street image of
a man walking and turning left by a light post
and going down the street. That's it. That's all we
got to go on. And Brown University has decided to
cancel all classes, as you can only imagine with this
guy still on the loose for the remainder of the semester.
(22:57):
That's the sad, sad Monday up to.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I mean, they were in the process of doing finals,
but I find it hard to believe that they are
not businesses that probably have more video than Brown University
did where they can stick together something of his where
he was walking.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah. So, and then you know I mentioned this that
sounds so pre thought. I say, this a complete desperation.
I've talked about this many times with David Sanadi on
the air. We're human beings, we have capacity issues, The
(23:35):
biggest problem with the Internet. Nobody gets the biggest problem
with social media, the biggest dilemma of social media. People
don't even get yet, let alone ever state. And here
comes the most overwhelming AI, especially when it gets to
a ga agi very soon. We're not We're not. We're
(23:56):
not capable of experiencing everything we're experiencing. Now, am I experienced?
Am I capable? And does God say I'm capable?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
And when I'm not?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
He will give him our burdens and our anxieties and
our pain. He'll bottle tears, He'll ease our yoke, all
of that that's between us and God with what life
throws at you. With a relative, with a friend, but
you get on Facebook and you brag about having five
thousand friends, Well, five thousand friends can produce a lot
(24:29):
of death, a lot of illness, a lot of dead pets,
a lot of sorrow, and it can get very depressing
fast because you have capacity issues. Then you throw in
the news like this, and someone's got to teach you a
deal that I'm telling you, there's only so much I
can feel in a day, only so much I can
(24:52):
deal with in a day. I have to look at
these things and say thank you God for the movies
Rob Reiner made and what they meant to me. I
can't imagine what it's like to die with my wife
in my home in such a painful way, of being
(25:12):
stabbed to death and then finding out it was their
own son. And I literally tell God, I'm not capable
of handling this and I can't carry this today along
with everything going on in my life that I must,
and so I just kind of confess it, tell him
(25:33):
what he already knows, and then I just with all
my heart said, God, surround this with peace and healing. Time,
released this pain to those who love them. Bottle their tears,
because you gotta move on. It's a capacity issue. I
have three kids in college. I can't imagine if there
(25:55):
was a shooting at their university. So I just give
that to God. He can go to those parents, or
he can go to those family members. He can make
a difference. All I can do is care and make
myself sad and miserable. I can pray that God gives
them leads or clues or break through evidence to lead
(26:18):
to the person who did this so there can be justice.
And then you gotta move on. This was an overwhelming
weekend of violence and sadness, especially two weeks before the holiday.
All I could think of was the latter be peace
on earth and let it begin with me. How desperately
(26:39):
we need that. And the last thing we need is
talk radio now to come on today and make it
a big fight.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You see how those drug those gut laws worked in Australia.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I mean, come on, people are dead. Grow up.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Sure it's true, it's a bad time to bring it up.
You got a troubled side killing his mother and father.
You got anti Semitic Muslims. We believe targeting in Australia.
We don't know what happened at Brown University. Isn't the
pain enough to process? There's a time for all those
(27:17):
levels of facts. It's just not today. By the way,
the Trump administration has until Friday to release the so
called Epstein files. Remember they were given thirty days and apparently,
Jeffrey they planned to take all thirty.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Howeverywhere close to the deadline. I got you know, I
got you all of our talk radio analysis. We never
thought about.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Okay, show what if they agree to release the files?
Congress votes to release the files, and then you don't reation.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
What do we do?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
She having three cheven chevs? What but the deadline? Impeat them? Still,
impeach them, be just a peach.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Them for the first time since twenty fourteen, so over
ten seasons. The Kansas City Chiefs are not in the playoffs.
And just where we were enjoying the Patriots not being
in the playoffs although the Bills. No, everybody was counting
the Bills out except for me and my brother Vic. Really,
this ain't over yet.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
We got Josh.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Allen and what a huge win for the Bills. That's
the kind of win that could direct that team to
win out. Red and I were kicking around. I mean,
Houston is much better than people are noticing. The Green
Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears, they're very good. I don't
(28:34):
know what to think of New England. I'm not ready
to count the Bills out. And but here's a part
of me the things I guess right now.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
The Broncos are the gold standard.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
They got a lot, but so to the Rams, even
though they you know, struggle the times yesterday.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
So I think it's going to be excited.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I think once the playoffs begin, any team you're seeing
from wild.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Card Saturday all the way.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
To the AFC NFC championship games. Any team can win
the Super Bowl. I'm in thorough belief of that. That's
how and it's not just parody in terms of parody
down just like seven really good football teams.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
I still there's something about that Rams team that's like
a twelve headed monster.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Now, if they lose Pukunuka Pukakua for a you know,
an extended period of time, which I doubt. I'm more
worried about that hamstring. You know that if you lose
two receivers part of the playoffs, you remember you gotta
be playing your best football and be injury free heading
into the playoffs. I think right now that makes me
give the advantage of the Broncos, and probably the Packers
(29:43):
are Bears and I can't decide, though I know the
Packers beat them in that game.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Either one of those teams could go all the way.
Some pretty exciting stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
And then, oh, did I even mention that we have
a championship college football beginning on Friday night Alabama and
OUs Saturday Miami Texas A and m two lane Old Miss.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Well, could Tulin could give them a game. James Madison
has no business playing Oregon. This one didn't really probably
need to go much deeper than the four teams in
a bye week Indiana, Ohio, State, Georgia and Texas Tech.
But so we have that to look forward to, and
holiday shopping, which I haven't begun. Although I named my
son properly, my saint Nicholas, he did all his Christmas shopping.
(30:27):
They're the only presence under the tree, his presence for
everyone living up to his name.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Are you looking at me? It's so strange which one you? Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Because I'm listening to you. Oh, I didn't for a minute,
I thought you were frozen. No, I'm not saying anything
that compelling.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I engaged in the conversation. Have you done? I've bought
nothing yet. I have done a little bit here and there.
What is it your I mean, like, do you and
Andrea still swap GIFs?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
We do, and we're famous for the Okay, we're not
going to spend on the kids, and then one of
us does and the other doesn't, and then the other
feels foolish.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
We always now it's just kind of.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Like a I don't know, we're not going to swap
gifts but throughout the month of December, we're like, hey,
I bought you this. Like I went to Lexington this
weekend to see my brother and I found the sweatshirt.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I was like, when do you will love this? And
so I bought it and then I came home last night. God,
she said, I got your prize.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
You know, so hinting that now, don't be a fool
on Christmas and not have one for me, right exactly?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Well, no, not necessarily that, but I mean we.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Highlight that my kids are of age and have money,
and I could say, I know what you have. I've
told all of them, like the expensive things that I
know we'll make.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
I shouldn't talk because she can she listens sometimes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
So that'll leave me just the you know, the meaningful
little trinkets. Sure, but yeah, I've done no shopping, so
I got all that shopping ahead. And I'm so glad
we didn't do our twelve Days of Christmas. I wouldn't
want to be doing cheerful Christmas stories and songs today,
but Thursday and Friday will be my top ten Christmas
stories and songs. A holiday tradition here at your morning show.
That's for you to look forward to when we come
(32:11):
back Top five stories of the day. Hey, it's Christmas,
and as we celebrate the gift of life, you have
an opportunity to share a gift that could lead to life.
Imagine a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, feeling alone,
unsure of what to do, searching for hope. Oh, there's
a lot of pressure to terminate the pregnancy, but not
(32:33):
a lot of hope and meaningful love and care to
make the decision of life. And that's what we're after.
And unlike Mary, it's not about angels appearing, It's about
you by listeners appearing. You see, we found the game changer.
It's the ultrasound. When a young woman sees her baby
(32:55):
for herself, here's its heartbeat, for itself, she more than
not chooses life. We want to be there with that
influence in that sacred moment where she has to make
a choice. Preborn's mission is to help her fine the courage,
faith and support. So this Christmas twenty eight dollars will
(33:16):
provide an ultrasound and more times than not, that provides
the choice of life. When you add our donor, who's
matching every gift your twenty eight dollars becomes fifty six
dollars and at that point, statistically, we know we've saved
a life. To donate to Preborn and be a part
