Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety and Dallas Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and 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.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
This is your morning show with Michael gill Charnan.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Speaking of being in it together, apparently a lot of
us are together at the airports today. I am looking
at the flight Aware and as of this moment, ten thousand,
two hundred and fifty four total delays at the airports
this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And that's changing by the minute.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We will now go to our correspondent, Rory O'Neil, National Correspondent.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
What can travelers expect today?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Rory, long lines at the TSA checkpoint to be And
you know, I think that's a bigger problem, or it's
been a growing problem. Is airports haven't built up enough
parking lately to realize that there are more passengers on
more of these flights. So I think there's been more
of a challenge to find that airport parking. Hopefully people
(01:16):
using things like ride sharing services, not asking their buddy, hey,
can you.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Drop me at the airport. But look, as.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Long as the weather holds out and things look pretty good,
we should be able to get through this.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The TSA is predicting.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Will have probably just shy of three million passengers today.
That's not as bad or as intense as we saw
over Thanksgiving. Because this travel period is so much more extended.
Triple A measures it as a two week period rather
than just a long weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Rory, I'm looking at the FAA has imposed traffic flow
restrictions that began yesterday afternoon in twenty one major air
travel centers, including flights out of New York, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, Boston, Miami,
and Minneapolis. And I guess this is in order to
try to keep us safe. You know that the FAA
(02:09):
has been struggling a little bit possibly with trying to
keep these flights separated.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
How do you think that's going to affect us?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Well, I think that's sort of baked into the cake, right,
that this is something that they do regularly, because when
they're expecting these high intensity kinds of time period. So
I think this is baked into the cake. This is
baked into the scheduling that the airlines have. Yes, the
folks over at United have a tough time getting gates
and times out of New York airports.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's long been an issue.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You know, other airlines struggle with different airports and trying
to manage it and maximize their schedules. But essentially, you know,
as it stands now, they think they've got the spacing
right at the big airports in order to manage what
is going to be a very busy time.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
So if you're planning a flight this morning or maybe
tomorrow or sometime during this holiday break, how early do
you think you need to get to the airport.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Then well, look for international flights, they're going to tell
you three hours, and even for domestic two hours. I
think the other thing to factor it is, you know
what time are we talking about? You know, is it
three hours to get to the airport and then you're
an off site parking and it takes a half an
hour to get to wait for that van to bring it. No, no, no,
you got to be like you know, at the boarding counter,
(03:24):
you know, three hours before for that big international flight.
And the other thing we're seeing a lot of during
this two week period is a lot more people are
cruising than ever before. Triple A is predicting the biggest
cruise year ever next year, and that's an industry we
were writing off for COVID, like we thought, oh no,
that's done. No one's going to want to get on
a crowded cruise ship anymore. But it's the value proposition
(03:48):
that is drawing out a lot of people. You know,
if you know people who like cruising, they don't shut
up about it, and they like their cruise base and
a lot of them like the way planned. They love
the fact that they all unpacked once that the restaurants
are all taken care of. There's no check at the
end of the day. Maybe you know when you get
the booze and the tips and things like that. But
(04:08):
there are programs that can work out to help people
budget and know exactly what they're spending. That's a big
attractive part of these vacations. And they're flexible. You can
get a three day cruise, you can get a two
week cruise. I think Carnival has a one hundred and
thirty five Night Round the World Cruise.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I mean again, the experts, including myself's proven wrong when
we rode off the cruise industry. They are back and
better than ever. Rory, thank you for your report. We're
going to be talking to you a little bit later
on this morning about what's going on with the secretary Hegseth.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Right, you sick my battleship am I going to talk
battleships coming up later on this.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Point, looking forward to that. And yes, your morning show
rolls on. If you're heading to the airport, try to
get there early and have your patients packed. It's going
to be quite an adventure going to wherever you're going
during the next few days. And Jeff tells me that
we got some people on the talkback feature, and that's
(05:09):
again another fantastic way is Michae will always remind you
it's your morning show. It's your participation which makes it
so special. And perhaps we hit a nerve when I
was talking about the idea of charitable giving. James from
KFYI Phoenix had some thoughts on that.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Kelly, you're kind of forgetting the context of the whole thing. Yes,
there was no Safetyn but before nineteen twelve, there was
no income tax, so people had extra money so they
could make donations to their brother man that was down
on their luck.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, thank you, James.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And you're absolutely right about the income tax, and that
has continued to grow and grow, and it the reason
it's able to grow and grow.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I shouldn't say it grows and gross.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I mean, look obviously when Reagan took office, I mean
at one point we were like over seventy percent of
the top rate.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And now we're, you know, down below forty. By the way,
speaking of.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Income tax, did you see that guy who won the
fight the other night who knocked out Jake Paul? That guy,
First off, he got paid like one hundred million dollars
for that fight, but because he lives in England, he's
going to lose like sixty five million of it to taxes. Unbelievable.
So proud to be an American for the tax rates.
(06:26):
But yes, they are able to sell that to Americans
because more and more people recognize or feel bad about
the idea that there's homelessness, that there's whatever it is,
drug addicts on the streets, whatever, and they feel like
I can't do something to help, but the power of
the federal government could and I think that you know,
(06:49):
for me, we need to do a better job of
educating people that the bigger the government gets, the less
effective it becomes, and the best way to help people
is at the local level. If you've got a local charity,
that's better than a regional charity, which is better than
a national charity. And I understand that there's going to
be national charities that want to push back on that.
(07:12):
In some instances they're correct. If there's a massive disaster,
you need the power of not only the national charities
but the federal government to come in and clean up
after hurricanes and things of that nature. But for the
most part, if you're talking about the charitable giving, it
needs to come from a local level.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And we would be wise to fight the.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Government when it comes to the tax rates, but we
also need to step up our giving in the interim
and have charities that are doing a better job so
that people don't see that need on the streets or
see less of it and don't think of it as
such a monumental problem that the local citizens can't take
care of it.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Randy checked in is this Greenwood, Indiana? Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
You know, if we didn't have Social Security and we
didn't have a Social Security tax is, we didn't have
income taxes, and we'd all have plenty of learned to
help others. But no, we have to give it to
the government and then they take eighty percent of it
and get the rest out, and that's what's killing us.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, I mean, we've certainly hit a sore spot when
it comes to taxes and how the government uses those
taxes and oftentimes uses them against us, as we've been
finding out more and more from the DOGE investigations, and
it really is a shame the way the money has
(08:37):
been spent against your own interests. I mean, this idea
of the NGOs and how they're supposed to be us AID,
what a great name, us AID in order to help
people around the world, to help spread democracy, to help
make the world a safer place for Americans, to help
spread this idea of freedom, to help people who need
(09:00):
it the most, and then you find out that's almost
never happening through that organization. What Elon Musk uncovered there
was even for the biggest pessimists, had to be shocking
to discover the amount of fraud, and not only the fraud,
but the types of programs they were sponsoring. You know,
(09:20):
I can't remember them all, but I certainly remember there
was one where it was like a drag queen show
that we were sponsoring that your tax dollars sponsored, like
a drag queen show in Cambodia or someplace like that,
and it was like, you know, a five thousand dollars
cash prize for the best drag queen. And you're thinking,
could that money have been better spent, you know, helping
(09:42):
veterans who were struggling with mental health issues here and homelessness.
I think that we would have much rather had that
than a five thousand dollars cash prize for the drag
queens and Cambodia. But the government and through the NGOs,
decided to prioritize those people over the people that most
Americans would choose to prioritize. But again, I certainly appreciate
(10:02):
the talkbacks. And again Michael always tells you, this is
your morning show because you participate, You drive the narrative.
What do you want to talk about today? If you
want to talk about taxes, we can talk about the taxes.
We can talk about you know, Rory was teasing the
idea of the new Golden Fleet, I think is the
name that Trump is using for the Trump class of
(10:25):
battleships that are coming down the line. You want to
talk about that, you want to talk about you know what,
I the whole CDL thing commercial driver's license I'm going
to be you know what. I think that's what we
want to talk about next that we have a segment
that came out yesterday which to me is one of
the most Again, this is another shocking update about how
these sanctuary states have endangered all Americans. It doesn't matter
(10:50):
if you're in the most conservative state in the country.
Wherever you are, you're in danger if you have truck
drivers that are coming from sanctuary states.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Kelly Nash in for Michael del Zorno.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
By the way, I'm available on all social media platforms
at Kelly Nash Radio. If you'd like to send me
a holiday greeting, I'll return one back to you. And
if you'd like to talk to us, you can use
the talkback feature.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
On the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And I understand that that's where we got Andy from
memphisis on the talkback feature.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
When charity comes from people and local organizations like churches,
there's a connection between the giver and the give and
you could call it mentorship, but there's a relationship built
there and that's so much more powerful than a check
coming from a nameless, faithless government.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Well, Andy, I would only add to that, because you're
absolutely dead on that. People are far less likely to commit.
For example, we talked about the snap benefit programs and
how abused that has become and people showing up. You know,
if you're going to the local church or the local
(12:13):
whatever soup kitchen or whatever, you're less likely to abuse
that program because they see you. They actually they're talking
to you, They know your actual life situation, they know
if you're trying to scam them. And there's also you know,
I hate to say this, I don't hate to say it.
(12:33):
Who am I kid? I wish that we brought shame back.
We need shame in America. We have bent over backwards
to prevent anybody from any embarrassment or any shame, and
shame is often a motivator. It motivates you to do
better when you remove the shame.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
In a lot of instances.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
That removes the incentive for people to improve their lives,
and that denies all of us. If all of us
were operating at one hundred percent capacity, not only would
you as the individual be doing better because you're maximizing
your talents, your efforts, but so would your neighbors. They
would benefit from the gifts and the skills that you
were bringing to the table. Instead, you're sitting on the
(13:16):
couch collecting a check, as he Andy points out, from
some nameless, faceless agency, and you're just wandering on down
and either buying your sugar filled processed foods and getting
on the diabetes and getting the sugars. You're doing whatever
it is that you're doing, rather than contributing to society.
(13:36):
All right, and I understand we're not sure is this blame.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We think it might be. His name from Kasi, Is
that correct?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Right?
Speaker 9 (13:46):
According to the FMS, the Phederomonors Safety Carrier Administration, you
have to be able to read, speak and understand English
in order to pass the test. I've had a licenses
ninety five, nineteen ninety five. These illegals to get the license,
then the States cheated to help them get a job,
and then that the employers need to be held to
task and sued and taken out of business, and these
(14:10):
schools need to be closed down.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Have a good day.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Merry Christmas, Well Blaine, Mary Christmas Blaine, and you have
made a perfect segue into our next subject, Hereen. We
only got a couple of minutes to cover it. This
is a little bit of a long news clip, but
get through it with me.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Despite that ice detainer, not only did seattles King County
release him and never even presented a case against twenty
five year old Camal Pret Singh, an Indian national who
illegally crossed the border in twenty twenty three, released by
the Biden administration with a work permit, seeing got a
California commercial driver's license despite rules against giving CDLs to
(14:45):
non citizens. According to Belie, Singh falsified his log book
before the crash by listing a co driver to extend
his hours.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Please say.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
He also made quote no attempt to break killing Blake Pearson,
who was simply stuck in traffic. Mister says the system
failed Pearson, his wife and children. Health for vehicular homicide.
DHS wanted to deport sing instead. He was released when
the state didn't charge him. The Highway Control telling Fox quote,
this case is complex and we still still under investigation.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
The state said, it's complex.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Okay, we have a truck driver who, at the very minimum,
we know he lied about his citizenship in order to
get a license illegally, so he shouldn't have a license.
He shouldn't be on the roads driving a tractor trailer.
He apparently, I would assume fell asleep, Otherwise you would
attempt to break before you rear ended a family it
was stuck in stop and go traffic. He killed the wife,
(15:43):
the father, and the two children, and you don't hold
him in jail because you say it's complicated. This shows
that sanctuary states, in your policies, you're bending over backwards
to protect illegal aliens while at the same time putting
all Americans at rinch. We already have enough problems in
America without importing more problems. And even, like I said
(16:07):
in the break earlier, if you live in the most
conservative state in the country, it doesn't matter. Because when
these illegal aliens illegally get CDLs and they start driving
tractor trailers all over the country, everybody's at risk. And
I know there's going to be one hundred million plus
on the highways this Christmas season. Be extra careful around
the tractor trailers because you don't know who's driving them,
(16:28):
or if they even understand the laws of which they're
in the city or the state and which they're driving.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It's sheer insanity.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael dil Zona.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Hey, it's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard live
each weekday morning on great stations like thirteen sixty The
Patriot in San Diego, News Talk one oh six point
three and AM eighteen eighty w oh Claire, Wisconsin and
one four nine The Patriot Saint Louis, Missouri. Would love
to be a part of your morning routine. But so
glad you're here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
This is Kelly Nash filling in for Michael Belzerno. Merry Christmas, everybody,
and Michael likes to do a thing called Sounds of
the Day. I failed yesterday as I had no sounds
for your day, but today I do have some sounds,
and I'll first take you off to the rather.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I was shocked. Maybe other people knew about this around.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
The State of Kansas. You're going to lose out on
about a billion dollars in revenue next year because of
this announcement from Clark Hunt.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
When my father started the American Football League, he had
big dreams both for the league and for his team,
and as he moved the team from the Cotton Bowl
to Municipal Stadium Trahead Stadium, his focus in every instance
was to give the fans the best possible experience. Today
is another step in that legacy of innovation and that
(18:02):
fan first mentality.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I guess what I should have said is Missouri is
going to lose about a billion dollars in revenue. Kansas
will get it as the Kansas City Chiefs move across
the state lines in about five years and a new
three billion dollars stadium that should be pretty nice.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Then.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It's no one's ever seen anything like the most incredible
battleship's ever made.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
As Commander in Chief, it is my great honor to
announce that I have approved a plan for the Navy
to begin the construction of two.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Brand new, very large, largest.
Speaker 12 (18:36):
We've ever built battleships.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
There will be one hundred times to forest the power.
Speaker 12 (18:41):
The ship isn't just to swap the arrows. It is
going to reach out and kill the archers. And for
the first time in generations, we'll have a new leg
in America's nuclear deterrence because the Trump class battleship will
carry the nuclear armed sea launched cruise missile.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yes, it is the Trump class battleships. And that was
the Secretary of the Navy discussing the new upgrades that'll
be coming with that.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Triple A has got some predictions this year.
Speaker 13 (19:09):
Triple A forecasts an increase in travel by two point
two percent compared to last year, which they say would
be yet another record breaking year, and estimated over eight
million Americans will take to the sky, and those trips
have quite the price tag, averaging nine hundred dollars round
trip for a domestic flight, which is roughly a seven
percent price hike. And if traveling by car, well that's
(19:32):
slated to be busy too. A whopping one hundred and
nine point five million Americans will drive. That's eighty nine
percent of travelers and a two percent increase from last year.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
My gosh, everybody's on the roads. In the air, it's again,
We've mentioned it earlier. Pack your patients because it's going
to be crazy on the highways, byways, airways everywhere. And finally,
do you remember Chris Han This is the guy who
used to be with the name of that show to
Catch a Predator. I guess he's still doing a similar
(20:05):
type show and he was at Fox News yesterday.
Speaker 14 (20:09):
We have seen an increase in illegal immigrants being caught
in our stings across the country, and it seems today
that we can't do a sting whether we're in the
South or the Midwest, or West Coast or East Coast
without catching somebody who's in this country illegally.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
So there's some of your sounds of the day. Maybe
you'd like to talk about any of those subjects. Feel free,
it's your morning show. Just go ahead and hit the
talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app and again the three
two to one countdown then leads you into about thirty
seconds where you can leave your thoughts on whether you
want to talk about the fact that Christiansen says we're
catching illegal aliens in just about every sting we've got
(20:49):
these days. It doesn't matter where in the country. Talk
about what you're doing for the holidays, how's your travel going,
or did you just say forget it, I'll sit at
home all alone. I'd rather be home all alone. They're
trying to get into the air or drive somewhere. Perhaps
you want to talk about the new Trump Class battleships
and we are going to get another update on that
(21:10):
from Roy O'Neil coming up in a little bit. Or
the Chiefs moving. They're leaving the state and costing the
state about a billion dollars when they move. But of
course the taxpayers in Kansas, they're going to have to
help pay for this new three billion dollar stadium. Those
subjects and whatever else you'd like to talk about are
(21:32):
available right now for you, just waiting to hear your
opinion as we head into the holidays on the iHeartRadio app. Now,
thank you to Red for his incredible research. And I
had not heard this, but we are now taking the
shots that people have been taking in order to lose weight,
and we're going to up it. FDA approves will go
(21:56):
VI weight loss pill. So for those of you who
have been afraid of injecting yourself, you now have the
availability of a pill. This is the first oral version
of a g LP one that has been brought to
the market for weight loss. There's a second pill from
Eli Lilly that is expected to be approved in the
(22:17):
next coming months as well. And these these are all
part of what I guess semi gutides is that what
we're calling them. They got the zempic with go v
h so Mangarno and so many people are losing weight.
I remember when Elon Musk was still with dose, he
suggested that we just make that free, that like the
(22:41):
US government should just pay for everybody who wants to
be on a GLP one drug, because obesity is costing
the taxpayers so much money. Whether you're talking about high
blood pressure, if you're talking about diabetes, you're talking how well,
knee replacements, ankle replacements, there's so many things that if
(23:04):
you've got this drug, and apparently I don't understand how
it does it, but it curbs your appetite to the
point where you only eat when you're supposed to eat,
and you only eat the amount you're supposed to eat.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It sounds like it's a magic drug.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Is this something that we're going to find out years
later causes some sort of massive problems. I can't trust
the science. The science is telling us that it works great.
I also, I don't remember, but I do remember reading
that coca cola was a fantastic soft drink when it
was filled with cocaine, and that people didn't see any.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Problems at that time.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
They were like, it gives me a little extra pep
in my step and I don't feel like I need
to eat as much. I love this Coca cola. This
is a great beverage. So I don't know what it
affects the GLP one drugs are going to have long term,
but in the and the not too distant past, it
seems like they've just been working fantastic for people. And
so again, typically I guess only exclusively had been injectable,
(24:05):
but for a lot of people they were afraid to
inject themselves. So they're going to start doing it as
a pill. I mean, we're pretty soon we'll be down
to a shake, I guess. I mean, just keep making
it easier and easier. And if you're somebody who struggles
with your weight, and this is a big time of
the year to struggle with your weight, I mean, I
know I'm struggling with my weight. Everybody struggle with their weight,
because it's as I said, yesterday. It's cakes and pie season,
(24:28):
Cakes and pies, Cakes and pies. Also, there could be
some more fallout at Brown University. The lack of security
is now looked at as a systemic problem, and they
may be in violation of something that I was not
familiar with.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
This was what is the act? Again?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I remember reading it when I was in here earlier.
There's an act that came out in nineteen ninety because
there was a young lady who was unfortunately murdered in
Pennsylvania at her college. And then it was revealed later
on that they had had like thirty five serious crimes
(25:11):
that year at her school, the year previous to her
signing up, and her parents said, if we had known this,
we never would have allowed her to even enroll in
this school. So apparently Brown University has not been providing.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's called the Cleary Act c L E.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
R Y.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
They might it looks like they're in violation of the
Cleary Act and that could put them at jeopardy for
receiving federal student aid and other things. There might be
some fines associated with that. And yeah, they've also put
the president the excuse me, the police chief, I guess,
and some other folks on administrative leave effective immediately as well.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
They should.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I mean, that was a total clown show going on
at Brown University for multiple days.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
They could not get themselves in order.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I mean, not only did you have the problem of
the actual act, then you find out later on that
you've got a homeless guy who is telling you that
your building is not secure, that anybody can come and go,
including this guy. And there's the homeless guy who's saying
that guy looks sketchy.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Why is nobody stopping that guy?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Another question is why wasn't anybody stopping the homeless guy
from living in the buildings on Brown University but Brown's campus.
But either way, hopefully they're going to start cleaning up
their act at Brown and a lot of other colleges,
because when I looked into this cleary act earlier this morning,
I see that lots of universities have paid some steep
fines in the past.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Michigan State was one of them. There was a bunch
of big names.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Fordham University, I believe, had to pay a fine because
they're not letting the people know what kind of crime
is happening on these campuses. And it's too late and
also if you see that you have a crime problem,
you should clean that up.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
This is.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
We're not going to get into the debates about whether
or not it's worth to pay for a college education
at this point, but at the very minimum, when I
go to the college that is charging, you know, sometimes
in excess of six figures a year to be there.
Is it too much to ask that we don't have
just rampant violence on the campus.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Is that too much to ask?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
And if you're anything like me, you're going to be
excited that it's the seventieth anniversary of Norrad tracking Santa
across the country. When I was a child, we used
to watch that on television and gosh, we loved it.
And this way, apparently there's a new way for you
to track him through Noorad.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
They've been again. This nord started during the Cold War.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
They're not classifying Santa as an illegal alien, they're not
classifying Santa as a threat. But you can use their
website now to make a call. Wow, that's interesting. You
can use the program's website to make a call, making
it easier for those without a phone or for those
outside of North America to call in and track Santa,
(28:15):
So hundreds of volunteers take calls at eight seven seven
high nor at hi Norrad on Christmas even that'll start
at four am till midnight Mountain Standard time, and they
have translation services available for people all around the world
who want to call in and try to track Santa.
That was a fun thing to do as a kid,
(28:38):
So hopefully your children are still got that Christmas wonderment
and they'd be interested in tracking Santa and seeing how
close he is to their house. And then they're going
to find out were you a good boy? Were you
a good girl? Hope you were good this year? Hope
you were good. Maybe you're riding in the car with
your mom and dad right now. You better be good
because Christmas isn't here yet. After the twenty fifth is
(28:58):
when you can go crazy, all right. In the meantime,
love to hear your thoughts on those stories. Are more
on the talkback feature. Just to hit that on the
iHeart radio app.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Getting your feedback on all the stories that we're talking about,
and love to hear your participation through the talkback feature
on the iHeart Radio app. I'm told that in Nashville
w LAC. We've got Gary with a thought about the Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
It should be illegal ready stay or city to justify
tax dollars for stadiums for sports.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Okay, quick to the point, and if you missed that story.
The Chiefs, it appears, are leaving Missouri and they're going
to go across to Kansas, which I know a lot
of people thought Kansas City was entirely in Kansas, but no,
it's in Missouri and they're leaving for Kansas now. And
(29:58):
with them it's about a billion dollars a year in
revenue according to both Missouri and Kansas. I don't think
that the people in Missouri are going to be very
happy about this. And by the way, if you're in Missouri,
this is the third NFL team that you've lost in
the last fifty years. The Saint Louis Cardinals left for Arizona,
(30:22):
the Rams, Saint Louis Rams, remember them, They're back in LA.
And now it appears that the Chiefs are going to
leave Missouri as well. This is for the twenty thirty
one season. And yes, Kansas is going to help build
this three billion dollar stadium in order to lure them
(30:43):
into their state. And look, I understand the principle and
I agree with it, whether it's a sport or it's
just a regular business. Typically politicians, for the most part,
make a blanket statement. But in general, politicians make horrible
business people. They don't understand how business is done. They
(31:07):
don't understand the benefits of any of it. And so,
you know, like I live in South Carolina and we
have lured.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Maybe I shouldn't say the name of the company, but we've.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Lured an auto company that is building a plant here
right now. And if you were to ask any business
person in our state, who got the better end of
that deal, the auto company did. They took us to
the cleaners. But our politicians they're taking a bow and
a parade lap, you know, patting themselves on the back
(31:39):
because they're able to lure this company that's going to
create all kinds of jobs and so on and so forth.
But in the long run, I don't expect we're going
to make any money off of it, because they're not contributing.
They got you know, tax to ferments for like forty years,
and yet the infrastructure needs to be built out to
(32:00):
you know, facilitate all this new traffic that's coming and
the new schools that will need to be built for
their children, and all that money is coming out of
the current taxpayer base, so they're not going to contribute
to that as a company. And now obviously the individuals
who work your will, but the company's not paying anything
into that. And that's the way it goes in most
of these instances. And I understand that we look at
(32:20):
sports as frivolous, but in reality, sports does make a
lot of money for communities, and so I guess, you know,
it's also something that's the point of pride for communities
if you've got a good team, you know. I was
just talking to Jeff. He's not so happy with his team.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I'm not so happy with my team either. I'm a
Giants fan.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
But you know, if they're doing great, the community seems
to be doing greater. People tend to get out there
and spend more money. And they've tracked that, by the
way here in where I live, that when the South
Carolina game Cocks are doing better, the economy does better.
It's just it's a bizarre thing, but it's actually the
(33:04):
way life goes. We're so invested, specifically into football, but
you know, hey, look in South Carolina, beggars can't be choosy.
So women's basketball, the fact that we've got Don Staley
and they've won some national championships, we can see the
economy boost that that even brings. So we celebrate any
sporting achievements. And by the way, I think that our
(33:27):
equestrian team is on a might be making a run
this year. So we're all fingers crossed the equestrian team
maybe numero uno. All right, what's going on as far
as your fears right now? According to this terrorist attacks
is on the rise. The United States now faces the
higher risk of a terrorist attack that it did a
(33:48):
year ago, according to the majority of voters. And why
wouldn't you think that when you look at Biden allowing
in this instance, eighteen hundred known individuals on the terror
watch list came through the poorest southern border over that
four year period.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Eighteen hundred known.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Individuals are in this country, of course, you would think
that we're at a higher risk for terrorism. And you know,
thank God, And this is why is it so frustrating
that they continue to try to defy ice.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
We're trying to.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Get to these people before they can get to us.
That's the way it's supposed to go. And yet you've
got the sanctuary state who want to shield those people.
And as we talked earlier about the people, the truck
drivers and the cdlers and all that sort of stuff.
So it's very frustrating that we cannot get ourselves and
get our acts together.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
