Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John, Thank you,
Mike mccannon, Good morning one and all. Welcome to Wednesday,
December and seventeenth, the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty
five on the air, stirring live on your iHeartRadio aff
This is the show that belongs to you. This is
your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal honor to serve you.
Jeffrey serving us all up with the music and guests

(00:54):
and everything. You got a button Bush, I'm always know
what rids doing. Typing pretty feverishly could be you know, keyboarders, smoking,
solving past murders. That was your big hobby, right, you
were murder slate. Well, I don't think we need to
be one. We're putting together some of the good morning.

(01:16):
By the way, minutes after the hour, we're getting more
information on Nick ryin Er. One thing we know he
checked into a Santa Monica hotel Sunday at four am,
so connecting the dots from yesterday, the heated argument at
Conan O'Brien's Christmas party obviously went back to his parents' home.
The argument obviously continued and ended in death because he

(01:39):
checks into a hotel later that night, which by then
his next morning blood all in the bathroom, shower filled
with blood, blood in the bed. Nobody really thought he
looked They thought he looked drugged out. They didn't suspect
anything when he was checking in. But I think we're

(02:00):
don't have to be law enforcement agents to realize this
murder happened on Saturday, and the bodies were discovered on Sundays,
so we have more information. They're not a whole lot
at Brown University. Other than a new glimpse a new video.
I'm guessing the same overweight white male wearing a COVID
style mask, all dressed in black. It's interesting. We choose

(02:25):
to pick one station to monitor and they happen to
be carrying a certain top of the hour news network,
and they're finally suggesting, why doesn't this university have more
cameras at campus? We were saying that the next morning,
But yeah, you would think at this point there'd be
more to go on than a This would be a

(02:48):
total of three now camera views. One was the original
one walking in the neighborhood, the other one was kind
of casing and staring at the university. And now we
have a third short video, but not a lot coming
out of Brown University because apparently there weren't a lot
of cameras rolling. We'll have more on all these investigations
with Rory O'Neil coming up for you next hour.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Remember michaelmo of the man walking by the police car
after the shooting, or after he walks by a police car.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Great, two brilliant young people are dead. We just pray
that law enforcement will get a clue, get a lead,
and get this man in custody. We also went through
all the charges in the Sydney shooting, and there are plenty,
trust me. The gunman received over fifty nine offenses, fifteen

(03:47):
of which were murder charges. You will not hear Australia
talking a lot about the ties to ISIS, though that's
looming large in my mind. It was a father and
son they were targeting Jews on the beach first day
of Hanukkah, so you know it's anti Semitic, But is

(04:09):
a terrorism and does it have a link to a
specific terrorist organizations as the ISIS flags in the vehicle
and explosives in the vehicle might indicate not a peep
really from Australia. Other than the charges, no other comments
on ties to ISIS or terrorism. I guess the old

(04:29):
expression is one man's junk is another man's treasure. Well
it's not junk. It just didn't have a lot of value.
In fact, we had to stop making them because it
costs so much more to make them than they were worth.
And apparently that's all you had to do to make
them worth something. The US Mint sold two hundred and

(04:51):
thirty two penny sets. They raised at auction sixteen point
seven six million dollars. Now you go home three cents
but that last one of the two three two set,
which would have been the last three pennies that were minted,

(05:12):
you know, I know, probably yeah, I know, you know, Jeffrey,
Care to take a guess of what they got for
the last.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Three pennies that were ever minted, the last three? I'll
take a wild guess at three cents, eight hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Whoa for the last? You know, I often, I don't
know if anybody else does this. Cooperstown was the worst
for me, home of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame,
because what people don't realize is, you know, the Hall
of Fame itself is on this very Rockwellian, quaint, older
downtown area, basically on a lake in wooded upstate New York.

(05:55):
But there's if you can picture like a main street
like in Back to the Future kind of a thing
or doc Hollywood, and that is all memorabilia and stores.
Carrio Scrumsky has a store there, and you walk in, well,
you can go crazy, I mean, take your pick. Do

(06:18):
you want a Babe Ruth autographed baseball? They're there. You'll
need your check book or a money wire or a
suitcase of cash. And I was just telling my friend
Tat Bensimon was in town. So we went into my
room with all my collectibles, and one of my favorite
collectibles was they had a bin of just because you know,

(06:39):
everything's so expensive, but there's just a bin of these
old gloves, and every glove has a tag on it
and it tells you who it is, and ours was Fitzy.
I can't remember what his name was. He was a
catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifties. And there's
this little teeny tiny catchersmid and you buy the glove.
Then you get his picture and you look at his stats.
He actually had the most passed ball for the longest

(07:01):
time in Major League Baseball history. But then it put
a little asterix and said, but he did have two
knuckleballers on staff. And I'm looking at this glove that's
no bigger than the skin on my hand, thinking how
was this guy catching knuckleballs with this? But it was fun.
But you can spend a lot of money, and it
makes me think, I wonder what would happen if I
was like a multi multi millionaire or billionaire. What dumb

(07:25):
things would I had come home with and have to
get the wrath of my wife. I would think coming
home with three framed pennies, you paid what eight hundred? Well,
I think my worst defense was in that Christmas store
and Pigeon Forge. It's very famous here in Tennessee. I

(07:48):
bought a very expensive Santa and he does look human,
and everybody that comes I make them look him in
the eye. Very well dressed too, and not so bloated.
But I would think one hundred thousand dollars or three
pennies would be tough to come home and explain to
the wife, unless it's irrelevant when you're that rich, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I think you hide that. Michael, you wipe that right.
It's an investment.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
If you got a fre eight hundred thousand, soon or
later there'll be an idiot that'll really want it for
a million two fun story there the only other thing
really and pulls the plenty. We got to do the
immigrants assimily. We'll get to that. I think yesterday one
of the things I know I said, and I and

(08:34):
many of you said, was it's dumbfounding that the president
would release such a cruel statement. Where was Susie Wiles?
You know, where are his handlers? And and and by
the way, this isn't me bringing it back up. It's
going to be many of our sounds of the day.
But where was Susie Wiles doing an interview with Vanity
Fair that they turned around and stabbed in the back

(08:56):
with So we'll kind of break all that down and
that caused JD. Advance to come dashing to her rescue.
We have the sounds of the day of that. You'll
also hear Michelle Obama on when Jimmy Kimmel they're already
weaponizing the president's tweet about Rob Reiner's death, as we
were certain they would. And Candace Oweden's had her final

(09:18):
little finally got her meeting. It was a private meeting
with some of the turning Point leadership and Erica Kirk
and then reported to her podcast audience that made the
sounds of the day as well. And then we're going
to have a visit with our correspondents. We're always going
to be covering the latest and the two investigations, especially
the Reiner investigation for Roor O'Neil, pivotal day for any

(09:39):
healthcare legislation if it's going to come from the House,
if they're ever going to do their job, but that
rarely happens, and the president is asked for the network
time to address the American people, where Redd is hoping.
The theme of the speeches were the hottest nation on Earth.

(10:00):
Want him to do it just so you could explode
for a change. Oh, David's and I he's going to
be joining us. Whether you liked twenty twenty five or
not loved it or hated, it's over. But here comes
twenty twenty six, and what can we expect? And you
know about midterm elections, but not all of them matter

(10:20):
that much. And how many can we boil down to
the key races that will SHAPEOO controls Congress. Perhaps Elon
Musk has already chimed in. He's writing big time checks.
So much for starting a third party. This is your
morning show with Michael del Chrono. You're listening on the

(10:40):
iHeartRadio app to see a microphone press that gets you
thirty seconds to make a comment, ask a question, mainly
take your place at this morning's kitchen table. It's yours.
Can also email Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com. You're
just getting up twenty four minutes after the hour. Well,
let's see what Wednesday, December the seventeenth hask for US
Shaw waved and Trump is going to address the nation tonight,

(11:02):
but about what.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
In a truth social post, the President said he will
speak from the White House at nine pm Eastern. He
did not provide any details about what he will be
speaking about. Trump ended his post by saying, it has
been a great year for our country and the best
is yet to come.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm Mark Neefield. Director. Rob Reiner's son is being charged
with two counts of first degree murder for the stabbing
deaths of his appearance. Tammy Trhillo has the latest done this.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hawkman made the announcement
on Tuesday.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
These charges will be two counts of first degree murder
with a special circumstance of multiple murders. He also fasts
a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and
deadly weapon, that being a knife.

Speaker 6 (11:45):
If convicted, Nick Reiner could face life in prison. The
bodies of seventy eight year old Rob Reiner and his
wife's seventy year old Michelle Singer Reiner, were discovered in
their Los Angeles home on Sunday afternoon. I'm Tammy Trujillo.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
We were talking earlier. We have a little bit different
timeline now that we know that Nick Reiner actually checked
into a Santa Monica hotel around three point fifty four
am Sunday using a credit card that would indicate that
the whatever strange drug induced behavior and fighting with his

(12:17):
father went from Conan O'Brien's Christmas party and home back
to their home. I think we can connect the dots
now and get a pretty good idea that Rob Reiner
and Michelle Reiner were killed by their son on Saturday evening.
He would later check into the hotel that would be
filled with blood from the bed to the shower, and

(12:39):
a family associatells the New York Times it was Rob
Reiner's daughter. Think about this and keep her in your prayers.
Walk into your parents' house and there's blood everywhere, and
they are stabbed to death. Not an easy thing to see,
but we now know who also found the bodies. While
we're spending less on gifts this holiday season, and oh

(13:00):
we're still celebrating and we're still shopping, just not spending
as much.

Speaker 8 (13:09):
It's a season to be jolly, but apparently it's also
time to be thrifty and NBC News Decision Desk poll
found that fifty five percent of US are spending less
on holiday gifts this year, thirty six percent say they're
spending about the same, and just nine percent are shelling
out more for holiday gifts. The poll didn't find a
lot of correlation with our financial situations. Forty one percent

(13:31):
of Americans say it's about the same as last year,
twenty four percent called it better, and only thirty five
percent sent it's worse.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler. Does sound like Halloween. We can
just turn lights off and pretend you're not home Christmas morning.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
They abundon Yes Christmas again.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
I guess this is a classic, but Wham's Last Christmas
is claiming that's a classic number one Christmas hit. By
the way, tomorrow is our Your Morning Show Holiday Spectacular.
We begin our Top ten Stories, Top ten Christmas Stories
and songs, Wam's Last Christmas claiming the number one spot
on the Billboard Global two hundred. Last Christmas is top

(14:13):
of the charts with ninety five point three million streams
and five thousand sold worldwide since November or December fifth
of this year through December eleventh. The song is the
second holiday hit to rain since the Global two hundred began.
That was back in COVID year of twenty twenty. I
think you know who has rained since then, Mariah carries

(14:36):
All I want for Christmas is you. I have Netflix.
It's not a big deal. It's starting to get aggravating.
But you know, Thursday night, I gotta go to Prime
to watch Thursday night football. Christmas, we got to go
to Netflix. But who let the dog out? One two thring?

(14:56):
It Snoop Doggie Dog and Doctor Drink is Joe. Snoop
Dogg is going to be this year's halftime performer for
the Netflix Christmas Day game. The iconic Wrapper will take
the stage at halftime during the game between the Detroit
Lions and the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. Promises some special guests.
I wonder who that could be. It's all a part

(15:17):
of Snoop's holiday halftime party. Yes, yet another halftime show
that is shaping up to be better than the Super Bowl.
As some would gripe. We also have the Commanders hosting
the Cowboys on Christmas Day on Netflix as well. Well.
Zillow is naming Santa Claus Indiana, which I'm very familiar

(15:39):
with as its festive town of the US. I will
have that story coming up next hour in our Top
five Stories a Day.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
Hi, this is Jenny Bourne.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven in Washington, DC, and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but,
as we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, December,

(16:25):
the seventeenth year of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Early
Bird against the worms, Sleepy squirrel, misses it not, don't
hit that'snows. Throw that leg over, do your gratitudes, shuffle
into the kitchen and grab a cup of coffee. We
can't have your morning show without your voice. We'll get
to some of your talkbacks here momentarily. If you're just
waking up. President Trump's going to address the nation tonight,

(16:46):
right away. Your thoughts are this reminds me of when
Kennedy was going to address us on the problems in Cuba.
I don't know if this is going to be about
quarantining oil coming out of Venezuela. We have absolutely no
idea exactly what he's going to be covering. Some teases
you to think it's to talk about what a great

(17:08):
year we had, kind of a year end address from
the Oval Office. Either way, it'll be nine Eastern eighth
Central tonight, the President to address the nation. Meanwhile, Director
Rob Reiner's son has been charged with two counts of
first degree murder and the stabbing death of his parents.
The man hunt continues at this hour. Are we presuming
at Brown University? We got a third video? Now, whatever

(17:31):
you do, we have any eyewitness reports of what exactly
they saw? A rifle? Right, not a han helupcause he
had something. But I'm watching him because you know, the
guy who supposedly killed Charlie Kirk, he's walking stiff legged,
he's got the rifle going down the inside of his pants.
This guy's just wearing like a man purse. So I
don't know. I'm trying to look at where the weapons

(17:53):
would have been I'm presuming in that, but that's all
we have to go on.

Speaker 10 (17:58):
Now.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Red brought up something interesting. It may take a few days,
but what you start doing is tracing where he was at,
and then you start tracing the cell phones of people
who are around him, and then you try to back
it that way and then find other cameras. It just
takes a little bit longer. What hasn't quite we brought

(18:19):
it up day one. It's just starting to rumble. Now,
what do you mean this prestigious Brown University has no
cameras to protect its kids? Are you kidding me? And
while we didn't know that, maybe the shooter did. As
he's walking around in a COVID mass conveniently four years
after COVID, that makes it even harder to identify him.

(18:42):
But that investigation continues, and we'll have more on that
and the Rob Ryaner investigation with roy O'Neal in less
than thirty minutes. And I guess we've got around of
bad weather. We're going to have a terrible Christmas. In
one of my favorite Christmas songs is Amy Grant Tender
Tennessee Christmas. Because I've enjoyed eighteen of them. Now they
ain't gonna be anything We're going to be. I think
ball me wet and seventy two. It gotta be cold

(19:08):
Christmas Eve going to service, don't you. Well it helps,
So I don't know what to do with my time off.
Travel south and golf or travel north and have Christmas.
I can't do That'll feel like a New Orleans Christmas.
Even New Orleans was more chilly than that. I think
we're going.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
To turn the ac on in the car on the
way to Christmas midnight.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Now I could do that, make the house gold. But
around the bad weather is expected to cause a messy
holiday travel condition. We'll have more on that. The Knixt
won that NBA Cup Championship, which I gotta be honest
with you. I talk about it, but I don't get it.
It's some some kind of new gimmick where everybody does
they track who everybody plays or I don't know what

(19:53):
it is, like a mid a mid season champion kind
of a thing. But it's not like they pause the
season and have the tournament. The games are just happening
regular and then the final one happens and was it
just another game last night? Was it an NBA Cup Championship.
I don't get it all right, can't have your morning
show without your voice, and it's stunk. Yesterday our talkback
was down, but the engineers fixed it, and thank god

(20:16):
they did. We have Big John back.

Speaker 10 (20:18):
And so another year goes by when some of the
good talk backs don't get invited to that beautiful Christmas
party that Mike throws. You know me, Roger, Mary, Jimmy Suits,
Dallas Woody, we would love to go to that party.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I am this close to just sending a ticket. Get
him up here, just send it to Poughkeepsie non stop,
the Nashville put him up in the guest room, and
I'll tell you what I'll do, Big John. I'll come
up and I'll cut laughter. By the way, only my mother,
my mother used to correct people all the time if
they called me Mike, his name is Michael. I remember.

(20:55):
It was really rude, and I was like, I really
don't care. The only two people on earth that call
me Mike is my mother and Big John. So yes,
you should. You're all welcome Mary more than you, but
you're all welcome to come to the Dell Jorno family story.
Next up is Joey and Joey's not in a good mood, Mike.

Speaker 11 (21:19):
I know they won't do it, but in my opinion,
the guy that killed all them people in Australia, they
ought to give him a trial and then cut his
head off on National TV and let all the rest
of them people that want to do stuff like what
he done, see what the result is going to be
and that might deter.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Some of them.

Speaker 11 (21:38):
Cut his head slam off on National TV.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Slam off. I really thought that was going to end
with and play soccer with it. Well, there's no question
that would increase. It would send an assuring message. But listen,
because life is sacred. Don't be so sure you'd enjoy
watching it. I know you're mad and have a right
to be it. I don't know that we'll ever get

(22:02):
to that, but he will face the charges and he
will face What they're not doing, though, is tying it
as they should to terrorism. I mean, I think that's
my biggest question. If I had any claim to the
Australian government, I would say you owe the world an answer.
We know the attack on two soldiers in Syria and

(22:23):
an interpreter that killed them was ISIS affiliated, ISIS ordered
and isus carried out. Was this that they keep down
playing which leads us comfortably to Woody.

Speaker 9 (22:36):
I'll never understand this reluctance by authorities to call out
the Islamic terror the Australians. You're seeing it with the
Brown University shootings. The police will not say what the
shooter yelled out. All those students had confirmed he yelled
out a la ankbar. If you're unwilling to call out evil,

(23:00):
you'll never defeat it.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, yeah, I mean, if we're in the midst of
waves of attack, perhaps we would be on a different alert. Now.
In case of Brown University, there is a leftist narrative
not saying playing good guy bad guy shirts and skins.
I'm not sure it's some of the bashkins, but there
is a leftist narrative that the guns are the problem.

(23:25):
But you know, if guns are the problem, then guns
are the solution in most cases. The truth of the
matter is mental health is a real problem that needs
to be addressed. Evil, hatred, desensitization. I mean, through all
these video game we've got a lot of things we
could list as problems. A big one if they're yelling

(23:48):
a lah acbar is ancient and you can cover your
eyes and pretend it's not there, but if it is,
it is there, and it's kind of keep coming bath
and you won't do anything to deter it, not even
public executions. There are so many things that you know,

(24:11):
we always bring up this JFK quote behind me. Too often.
We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
This falls under that too. I'm a little shocked so
much political correctness died at once. The transgendered wave just ended. Hit. Sure,
crashed waters are calm, but you're right, Anti Semitism is

(24:37):
still somehow wink wink, okay, and then the other eye
is blind to Islam, and Islam always has an agenda.
Christianity has an agenda not to run nations, but to
go forth to all nations and love on people, meet

(24:58):
their needs, tell call them the good News, and for
those that choose it, those that reject it, fine, those
that choose it, make disciples of them. That's the Christian mission.
And God's watching you in your cubes. He gave you
that job you have, but you also have that mission,
and for some of you you're called to physically go
do it.

Speaker 10 (25:21):
Well.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
An Islamist has a mission too. They must convert you. Now,
unlike Christianity, you don't have the choice to reject it.
The only thing you can do when rejecting it is
die or be text. So it's kind of mandatory. And

(25:46):
what I often like to remind people in the West,
because this is hard to get your arms around. When
I say worship God, you might think of standing in
a church with or without your hands in the air
and singing and worshiping God and jihad killing others. That's
why they yell a la Akbar, or even dying themselves.

(26:07):
That's worship. In fact, the dying in killing others is
the only promise. Because Mohammad himself could not promise eternity
for himself. The only promise for eternity is to die
in the cause of jihad. Now, to speak to what

(26:29):
wood he's saying, how blind are we? Did we just
have in a single day? I tried this, by the way,
Tuesday with Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. I was very supportive
of the president and probably didn't like that. As much
as I've been supportive of the president, I could not
support his tweet or not tweet. I guess his truth

(26:51):
social on Rob Reiner. I just thought it was dumbfounding, insensitive.
But the truth of the matter is, if we had
an ambush in Syria and that was Isis. If we
had a shooting in Australia and there's ISIS flags and

(27:11):
explosives in his fathers and son's vehicle, that means you
have an ambush in Syria, an attack on a beach
first day of Hanukkah in Sydney, and was Brown University
also Islamist related? Well, I don't know was it isis
related to? Is anybody ever gonna tell us is isis back?

(27:36):
If so, that needs to be priority won Donald Trump
prioritized ISIS in his first term, identified it as evil,
and destroyed it, cut it off at the head. Well,
apparently the head has grown back. I'm saying the same
thing on Wednesday I was saying on Monday. And I
can say for southern California something canceled. I can say

(27:59):
for fronts in Paris, the Shaanzanise, something canceled. Who's turned
to blind eyed to all this and hasn't canceled something?
And I hope nothing more than a ball drops on
New Year's Eve? Keep the talkbacks coming, using that microphone
on the iHeartRadio app gives you thirty seconds. You don't
rot on hold anymore. In talk radio. You instantly take

(28:21):
your place at a kitchen table that belongs to you,
help yourself to coffee, and leave the Jimmy Dene sausage to.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Meet It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Good Morning. It's fifty three minutes after the art for
just waking up. Officials in Rhode Island are releasing a
new video same overweight, white male wearing a COVID mask
who may have shot students and wounded nine others at
Brown University. Mark Mayfield has the latest.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
It again shows someone dressed in black walking along a
street around the time of the shooting at the Ivy
League School on Saturday. Providence Chief of Police Oscar Perez
hopes that someone in the public recognizes the man's body
side and the way he walks Wherez says they have
received about two hundred tips in connection with the case.
Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee says he's hearing a great
deal of anxiety from the public and that's why there

(29:10):
are enhanced police patrols in the city.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A family associate tells The New York
Times Rob Reiner's daughter found her father and mother's bodies
in their home. Jim Roopez More.

Speaker 12 (29:20):
The report says a massage therapist contacted Romy Reiner Sunday
after no one answered the gate at her parents' home.
Romy arrived moments later with a roommate and discovered her
father dead. The associated says Romy then left the house
without seeing her mother's body, and was later told by
paramedics her mother was also dead.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
I'm Jim Roop Well. It appears more adults are returning
to college in California.
