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):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because where in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Good, good morning everyone, Happy Friday to you all of you.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Jamie Allman here filling in for the great Michael del Jorno.
And I was saying about I think it's maybe because
my kid, my youngest now is fourteen years old. So
I'm really not other than you know, Sephorah or supporta
gift cards or.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Like Duncan too. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I don't know how Duncan stopped calling themselves dunkin Donuts.
But now kids know Duncan as just like Duncan. It's
like not dunkin Donuts anymore. And I guess it's because
they just took donuts off, thinking that maybe that would
change things. But I guess it did kind of because
(01:23):
it's just kind of called duncan now and they go, well,
that's cool. I mean whatever, whatever suits your fancy, whatever
you whatever you think that in Chick fil A are
the two places I know my daughters love. But I
don't know of the popular toys, Like there wasn't It
didn't seem like there was a popular toy around Christmas stuff.
(01:44):
I remember the Beanie Babies, remember those? And the furbies
remember those? Remember that technology was so crazy, Like the
furbies are talking to each other, this is nuts. And
you remember the pet rock and all those things. But
I don't know what is popular this time around. And
(02:06):
if you happen to be in that situation where you
have younger children and I don't watch a whole lot
of TV, and neither does apparently the rest of the world.
And I'll explain that in a little bit. So I
don't really I haven't seen any commercials. Necessarily, they're showing
me like what the what the end thing is, what
the fad is, whatever it is, and it's probably coming
(02:27):
from Amazon anyway. So I don't really know, but I
don't know what the what the brand new thing is.
I do remember the Beanie babies and the furbies were popular,
and then of course the talking Elmo, and that's usually
the thing that people, you know, the day after Thanksgiving
when Americans attacked each other shopping and it was usually
(02:48):
over like a talking Elmo. But none of that is
going on any anymore either, like nobody's fighting over toys
or anything like that. I think that's probably a good
thing in the end. It's probably a development in our civilization.
And I think I can I can get behind, and
I think I can also get behind the idea of
(03:12):
hanging out with Canadians and becoming one.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I don't know. I mean, Kevin.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
O'Leary was on Fox News and if you just heard
Jim Carafano, the Canadians, it's a complicated thing because of
their governmental structure.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
But for the most part.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Canadians are a lot like Americans, except they're Canadians and
in some places they're speaking French and Quebec of that
kind of thing. But they're but they're an interesting lot.
And Kevin O'Leary is like, no, this is a this
is a thing.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
We could just forty one million Canadians, basically a population
of California sitting on the world's largest amounts of all resources,
including the most important energy and water. Canadians over the
holidays the last two days have been talking about this.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
They want to hear more and so, you.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Know, there's obviously a lot of issues, more details. But
what this could be is the beginning of an economic union.
Think about the power of combining the two economies, erasing
the border between Canada and the United States and putting
all that resource up to the northern borders where China
and Russia are knocking on the door. So secure that
give a common currency, figure out taxes across the board,
(04:22):
get everything trading both ways, create a new almost EO
like passport.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I like this idea, and.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
At least half of Canadians are interested. The problem is
the government's collapsing in Canada right now. Nobody wants Trudeau
to negotiate this deal. I don't want him doing it
for me, So I'm going to go to mar A Lago.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
I'll start the narrative.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I mean, it seems like a pretty good idea,
and I think what we might want to do is
hurry it up as we start to begin, you know,
the mass deportations, because then we.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Just adopt Canada and then deport.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Justin Trudeau and and all the branch Covidians up there
who were raiding homes and churches and things like that,
and maybe send them somewhere where people are still crazy,
like maybe even parts of Germany.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
But even Germany is starting to loosen up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
But the idea of having one monolithic North America. And
I even think Mexico, you know, believe me, folks, you know,
I talk to people.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Who not only I know a guy who is from Toronto.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Toronto is a beautiful city, gorgeous place, and a lot
of Canada is.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And then in Mexico, like a lot of people think.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Of Guadalajara and Tijuana and places like that, but Mexico
City is a gorgeous place.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I guess it. It's a pretty high falutant place.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
And I realized that some people think of you know,
Canada is just a bunch of tall trees, and they
think of Mexico as just a bunch of you know,
barrios and and old pickup trucks. But it's really a
fairly well developed country, and you wouldn't you wouldn't know
it by just kind of washing the news or doing whatever,
(06:12):
and so some.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Kind I'm surprised.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I mean, again, I'm not a big fan of the
NAFTA and all the try I don't. I don't want
toy treaties with anybody. We've had enough of those, and
we need to We need to get out of the
stay out of the Paris the Court, get back out
of that again. And all the arrangements we have with
foreign countries and foreign entities we can get rid of
(06:36):
and not have. But we can still have relationships with
some fairly decent people, and we could capitalize on the
merging of our resources and that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
The only thing, obviously is that Canada is great.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But you don't want to be in a situation where
you are, you know, adopting another puppy, you know what
I mean, and having to spend a ton of money,
because heaven knows, we're spending a ton of money already
on things we don't need.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I don't want to we're going to kind of.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Adopt another country and start paying for all their all
their stuff because our resources are running. Thing, you wouldn't
know that though, if you looked at the amount of
money that is flying out of the treasury brought to
you by the IRS. So apparently at this point a
million taxpayers, and I guarantee you you're probably not one
(07:31):
of them. We'll get up to fourteen hundred dollars from
the IRS, and this is all related to COVID. They're
going to receive special payments up to fourteen hundred dollars
from the IRS in the coming weeks. It's going to
be directly deposited into these eligible bank accounts.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
And this is basically a distribution of.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Two point four billion dollars to people who didn't claim
a recovery rebate credit on their twenty twenty one tax returns.
And I can't I don't know whether I did or didn't.
I don't have no idea. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
This is your Morning show with Michael Deltrono.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Polks, let me tell you something about ABC News. So
ABC has a real problem. As you know, Stephanopoulos has
just had a fifteen million dollar defamation suit and then
he summarily signed a brand new contract and he suddenly
is in better shape than he ever was. At ABC,
(08:45):
So whatever's going on there, I don't know, But of
all the networks, and by the way, there is a
study out right now showing that basic news consumption I'm
talking about network news consumption has gone way way down,
especially among Democrats, oddly enough, and it's gone way way down.
(09:10):
But outside of all that, local news and local news
consumption has not gone way down. It's people still trust
their local news stations more than they do the network stations.
And I happen to agree, based on what I've been
able to see in Saint Louis and beyond that, the
(09:34):
local news outlets seemed to be a lot more objective
than the national ones do, and they seem to be
a little bit more likable and accessible than the national guys,
and that's a good thing. I think you should support
your local television stations, I would imagine, and maybe you
(09:58):
have something to say about this, but I seem to
really think that a lot of local news organizations are
pretty much doing a pretty good job, and good for them.
Having worked for one for a long time, I'm still
impressed that there there hasn't been this saturation of craziness
that seems to be emblematic of the national news guys,
(10:24):
and so I'm happy about that.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I'm happy for the local news outlets, but.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
A lot of them are now starting to be starting
to be muscled by the networks and threatened by the
networks regarding affiliation and beyond.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I mean, just an example like that ABC. It's not
only the news people, it's also their programming like the View,
And he's the oldest he would.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Be the oldest living president, and Trump would be the
oldest living convicted felon.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
So who who has got more?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah? Well, you know, yeah, but that didn't age very well.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
But it turns out that actually these network people are
at a level of peril with guess what the brand
new FCC chief. So, Brendan Carr is the new SCC chairman,
and he is a conservative, and he basically wrote to
(11:26):
Bob Iger, who is the Disney CEO, and of course,
as you know, Disney owns ABC, and said, hey, buddy,
let me tell you some I understand you're kind of
in this fight with a lot of the local guys,
and you are trying to muscle them for money, and
(11:48):
you're trying to threaten them with all of these things,
and including saying that you're going to take away their
ABC affiliation. So what they're trying to get in return
with Disney and the network is trying to get a
return is they're trying to get all these financial concessions,
operational concessions, everything else from your local television news organizations that.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Are already strapped as it is.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Advertising is hard to come by, and viewership is a
lot lower than it used to be back in the day,
and that's just a natural occurrence as people see other
avenues to get their weather or their sports or what
have you, and the consumption of local news is way down,
(12:40):
so they don't really have a whole lot of wiggle room.
And so Brendan Carr is saying, and I know that
you probably might be able to see this, and you're
in your local broadcast outlets. You've maybe seen an anchor
has been there for twenty five years suddenly let go
or what have you and being.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Replaced by this.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
You've probably seen it somewhere where you are, and if
you have somebody to say about it again, hit that
talkback button on the iHeartRadio app. So they're already in
a bad place their avenues for seeking other kinds of revenue, like,
for instance, buying another station is cut off by SEC regulations.
(13:19):
That might actually change, so you might in your city,
you might see a local television station buy another one.
If Brendan Carr, the new SEC chairman, has his way,
that's going to be a really important thing. It's going
to change the way people operate. It's going to change
(13:39):
the way you get news and your local broadcasts happen.
But Brendan Carr directly wrote to Bob Eiger and said,
do not do this. Don't start to hammer away at
your local affiliates and try to extort all this money
from them and make their lives miserable and result in
(14:03):
resulting in blackouts and other harm to people who are
watching your television stations, because we have a way of
punishing you for that. And Brendan Carr is not playing either.
And this could have a real impact on how you
get your information and how your local affiliates are operating
(14:25):
and all that kind of thing. But man, it just
seems like everybody that President Trump is appointing in his
cabinet they are ready for some change. They're ready, in fact,
for a sea change, and it's going to be a
brand new day, come Inauguration Day on all levels and
(14:46):
now including your local television stations and the SCC. But
but basically the administration and listen, I don't favor you know,
Yankee life.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I don't want to play that political game with networks.
I want as much freedom as possible. I'm sure you
do too.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
And that's where we need to be.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
When it comes to promoting this kind of freedom and
broadcasting freedom and everything else. But there has to be
at some point someone has to have some accountability.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
And if the networks are going.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
To continue to push propaganda and lies and then even
extort money from their local affiliates, Brendan Carr is not
going to allow that to happen. And so it's a
brand new day and we couldn't be happier about it.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
And by the way, did you know.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That I didn't know the bald Eagle wasn't the national bird.
Well it is now, believe it or not, President Joe
actually did something right.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I'll talk about that on the other side.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This is your Morning Show, and I'm Jamie Allman filling
in for the great Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
If Donald Trump named the bald eagle as the national bird,
there'd be criticism of it somehow, and they find something,
they find something wrong with whatever decision he made. So
I think, you know, Biden is being graceful to the
bald eagle so that it cannot be associated now with
(16:38):
a Donald Trump move. And of course he's public doing
it because a lot of people are talking about how
he's kind of setting the stage for all kinds of
nonsense to make life hard for Donald Trump, or just
to plant all these seeds and do that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
And I think this is one time where he just
kind of wanted to.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Preempt it, because I'm sure this was probably on President
Trump's to do list once he was sworn in.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
But yeah, bald eagle is now the national bird of
the United States. Did you realize it wasn't. President Biden
signed a new lawmaking it official. The bald eagle has
been a symbol of the power and strength of the
US for more than two hundred and forty years, but
now it is the United States bird. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It's funny, how and that's an ABC local affiliate. To
my point, By the way, it say ABC shoven in
Chicago and they're saying it with a smile on their face,
which the national people, even if Joe Biden did it,
would still find some way to look at some association
with the bald eagle, and you know, they find some
(17:41):
way to turn into some associated with slavery or whatever.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
It's just crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
And speaking of the news business, now PBS and NPR
as you know, you pay for them, so I hope
you like them.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Your tax dollars pay for them.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
And don't know why tax dollars go to pay for
public broadcasting is it's beyond me.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I don't know why that is, but we do.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
And your PBS network decided they were going to promote
the PolitiFact, which is one of these organizations is you know,
like it's axios in Politico and all these organizations that
kind of seem like they are innocuous and balanced, but
they're really sometimes biased operations. So this organization called PolitiFact
(18:30):
decided that, oh, let me ask you this. Go on
to the iHeartRadio app and hit that microphone button and
tell me what you think the lie of the year
would be. In fact, just just speak into the windshield.
If you're in the car, I know what you're thinking.
(18:54):
The lie of the year is. I know exactly what
you're thinking, and that is that Joe Biden is chipper
and healthy and everything else. And again, I wish that
he were chipper, and I wish that he were healthy.
I don't want to see anybody deteriorate. But the reality is,
as we've seen time after time after time, people coming
(19:17):
forward and apologizing, well they're apologizing for not claiming that
they didn't recognize that Joe Biden was as unprepared for
his duties as he was, but they did recognize it,
they just didn't tell the truth about it. And so
when you're looking at what the lie of the year is,
(19:38):
that's probably the lie of the year.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
If there is such a thing.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
It's kind of like the PolitiFact decide, because there's never
going to be a lie of the year that is
told by somebody coming from the.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Left side of our world. That's never going to happen.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And I bet if you think about it, you'll be
able to think about what you think some of the
biased media things.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Is the lie of the year?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Right?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah? Here it is comment.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Stood out as Politifacts twenty twenty four Lie of the Year.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
It was the claim heard around the world, watched by
an audience of more than sixty seven million people during
September's presidential debate, and raided pants on fire by PolitiFact.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs the people that came in,
They're eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the pets
of the people that lived there.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, it was what was happening in Springfield, Ohio, and
there were some document There was some documentation of it.
I'm not saying that it was happening to at the
level that people were saying it was happening and not
saying it was rampant, but it was happening.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
There were some examples. People were calling nine to one one.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
There were nine to one one calls. I'm not quite
sure it was the be all, end all of everything,
but it was an indication. It was really more of
a symbol too, of the kind of stress that still
has remained unexplained that the US government was putting on Springfield,
(21:27):
Ohio by dumping a bunch of Haitian immigrants into that town.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
When some people were.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Explaining it, they were like, weeah, well, there are jobs
people aren't taking, and so we need them to take
jobs because manufacturing is back like that doesn't make any sense.
How about bringing back the people who left Springfield because
of a lack of economic opportunities. How about helping them
come back and resettle in the town where they grew
up or what have you instead of that still hasn't
(21:57):
been explained. And there were there it was. It's weird,
but there was video of people who were taking cats
and taking things and geese and stuff from lakes and
things like that. I'm not saying it was the biggest
story of the year, but it certainly wasn't a total lie.
(22:21):
A total lie would be that Joe Biden is healthy.
A total lie would be that the border is secure.
And you could probably think of a ton of other
ones that you heard coming across that are not being
considered to be any kind of lie, and yet PolitiFact
(22:44):
decides that's going to be the lie of the year.
I mean, let me tell you something. PolitiFact at least
could just say like one of the lies of the year,
you know what I mean, or one of ten lies
of the year, and just include some of the other
lies of the year.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
That would be a.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Little more balance, a little more fair, And if you want,
if you have the opinion that the cat eating was
a lie. Even if it let's just pretend it was
a lie, does it still measure up to being the lie.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Of the year.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
And I'm trying to figure out like how they can
determine if that's the lie of the year. And you're thinking, well, all,
then come on there. They're bias journalists whatever, I get it.
But they don't even try to hide their bias. At
the very least, if you just kind of said, here
are the five lies of the year and included the
cat eating in Springfield as one of the five lives
(23:39):
of the year, at least just give kind of some
kind of impression one way or the other that you are,
at least to a certain degree balanced, or at least
looking at the world in a fair kind of way.
This is why so many people in this country are
tending to and away from mainstream media. Why so many
(24:04):
people are just simply deciding, hey, we're not going to
get our news from the mainstream media anymore, and they're
going right to their iPhones and they're done.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Don't bother with Wikipedia either.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Though, by the way, there's something afoot with that organization.
I'll have some details for you on the other side
of this Happy Friday to all of you. This is
your morning show with Michael del Jorno, Jamie Alman. Pleased
and privileged to be filling in.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Jamie Allman here with you, and I will be back
with you and next week for a couple of days
as well. Thank you Adam, and thank you Read for
all of your help with the show, and thank you
Michael del Jorno for your graciousness in allowing me to
fill in. Red was communicating with me off the air
and said, Hey, the law of the day lie of
(25:01):
the year has to be hands down, that Joe Biden
will not pardon his son. And again, as I talked
to Read about this, something at the very least, if
you're gonna do a lie of the year, do like
at least five lives of the year. Don't make something
about Caddy eating in Springfield as the lie of the year. Like,
(25:21):
no one in their right mind, even if you're even
if you're a Democrat, you know that's not the lie
of the year. So it's just it's just more craziness,
all right. Speaking of Democrats. Oh, by the way, Elon
Musk and vac you guys, Hey, don't get too high
(25:42):
falutin about these H one B visus guys. I understand
the issue. I understand there are a lot of people
in the tech world who are complaining about the lack
of skilled engineers and that kind of thing. But when
Elon Musk said we need to double the number of
H one BE visus, it's like that's not sitting well
(26:03):
with a lot of normal, average, everyday people. I think
there are really a lot of talented people coming from overseas.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But if we're going to make America great again and
focus on this country, then perhaps the answer longer term
might be to make sure our educational system is equipped
and raising the kinds of people that foreign educational systems
are because clearly there are foreign educational systems that are
(26:33):
working out pretty well, since there's a demand for talented
foreigners who have engineering expertise and everything else. So what
are they doing over there that we are not doing
over here? Maybe that needs to be our first focus.
And also I think companies should be required because the
H one BVSA law says that you have to show
(26:56):
that you don't have enough people enough America and is
to cover those jobs.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
That's that's what it shows.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
You have to show, and very few of these companies
even bother to show that.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
So I think we need a few more.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Things to check off the priority list before we just
start tweeting out like Elon and Vivek did that we
need to double the number of H one B visas.
That doesn't sit well with a movement called make America
Great Again. And I think Elon had made a good
point because he said, you know, it's kind of like
sports teams, you know, you need to get you know,
(27:32):
so these teams get people from the Dominican Republic because
they don't have people.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I understand that.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I get that, But if we're really going to focus
on building up our educational system in our country, then
we need to focus on building up our educational system
or a country and not just keep on seeking out
artificial band aids and things like that.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Nothing against these foreign skilled workers.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I think that if you know, there's if there are
not jobs or not being filled, they're not being filled
and companies do need to survive and prosper. I get that,
but sometimes I think to rush a bunch of people
in here without focusing on going back to the drawing
board and working on that. I think that's probably a
better idea. If you have a quick thought on that,
(28:17):
you can go to the iHeartRadio app, hit that microphone
button and let me know what you think.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
All right.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
So one of my favorite Democrats is hands down Mary
Ann Williamson. And it's not just because she's kind of
like this hippie dippy, which I think is kind of fun.
I like her attitude. She just she seems like a
really nice person. And when she was running last time,
I happened to be probably one of the few people
(28:46):
who is, for instance, a Trump supporter, and I am
and have been from the very beginning of the day
when he was running back in twenty fifteen. But I'm
probably the only one with them with two mary Ann
Williamson political buttons, just because for some reason I kind
of just fell into that zone and she seemed to
(29:09):
be attractive in a personality way to me. And now
she wants to be the chairman of the Democratic National Committee,
and if I'm a Democrat, I'm thinking, I don't know,
maybe be able to try that, because listen, when Republicans
and conservatives basically started to gravitate towards Donald Trump. There
(29:30):
are a lot of people who thought Republicans and Conservatives.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Were nuts, and.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Donald Trump and this world and this movement has shown
that you need to stop taking things off the table.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Put everything on the table.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
You never know what you're gonna get, And in my opinion,
I think what we got as a greater country and
a greater future for our families and for our children.
And Democrats I'm taking Mary and Williamson up on her
yoga like candidacy for the DNC chair.
Speaker 10 (30:09):
I feel that in order for the Democrats to rise
like a phoenix from the ashes of our electoral defeat,
we need to look at more than just the outer
issues such as data analysis and field organizing and fundraising.
We need to transform in a way. We need to
reinvent the Democratic Party in order to counter what MAGA
(30:30):
is bringing to the table. There's a collective adrenaline rush
in all of that, and we have to create our
own massive psychological and emotional appeal for the American people.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, I'd love to know more about how you're going
to do that, but at this point, if I'm a Democrat,
I'm like wandering into Mary Ann Williamson's yoga studio, and
I'm gonna sit cross legged on the floor for just
a little bit and listen to what she has to say.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
I understand why we lost it. I understand because I've
traveled extensively throughout this country and I've seen how much
pain there is out there. I've been up close and
personal with people who didn't have health care, who couldn't
survive on just one job, who were so depressed about
so many of the conditions in their lives.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Well, it sounds to me like you need to be
in Trump's cabinet, my dear, because those demands and those
needs in that vacuum seems to be if, if in
fact President Trump is able to achieve what he wants
to achieve, it seems to be already resolved or on
their way to being resolved. And so it sounds to
(31:38):
me like maybe Maryann Williamson is maybe too good for
a party that just simply doesn't get it, and it
doesn't seem to be trying to get it, and you
hope that ultimately maybe it does.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Because you want people to succeed.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
We want people a vibrant republic and a bunch of
different ideas, and Democrats aren't devoid of great ideas. It's
just that people with the better ideas don't seem to
kind of be gravitating towards the top or the lead
of the party.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
And I don't know, maybe Mary is going ahead.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
Directly due to bad public policy, and too many of
them didn't feel like the Democratic Party had their back.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Yeah, no, I know you got it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
So either join the Republican Party, I think, Mary Anne,
or form your own party because it sounds like you've
got something going on that works, and maybe that's the key.
All Right, my friends, really appreciates you. I hope you
have a blessed weekend, and I'm glad you're having a
happy Christmas. I appreciate you indulging me listening to the show.
(32:48):
Definitely appreciate Michael del Giorno for allowing me the privilege
of sitting in the studio chair for him, and again
Adam and read.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Thank you guys. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael del Joano
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):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because where in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Good, good morning everyone, Happy Friday to you all of you.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Jamie Allman here filling in for the great Michael del Jorno.
And I was saying about I think it's maybe because
my kid, my youngest now is fourteen years old. So
I'm really not other than you know, Sephorah or supporta
gift cards or.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Like Duncan too. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I don't know how Duncan stopped calling themselves dunkin Donuts.
But now kids know Duncan as just like Duncan. It's
like not dunkin Donuts anymore. And I guess it's because
they just took donuts off, thinking that maybe that would
change things. But I guess it did kind of because
(01:23):
it's just kind of called duncan now and they go, well,
that's cool. I mean whatever, whatever suits your fancy, whatever
you whatever you think that in Chick fil A are
the two places I know my daughters love. But I
don't know of the popular toys, Like there wasn't It
didn't seem like there was a popular toy around Christmas stuff.
(01:44):
I remember the Beanie Babies, remember those? And the furbies
remember those? Remember that technology was so crazy, Like the
furbies are talking to each other, this is nuts. And
you remember the pet rock and all those things. But
I don't know what is popular this time around. And
(02:06):
if you happen to be in that situation where you
have younger children and I don't watch a whole lot
of TV, and neither does apparently the rest of the world.
And I'll explain that in a little bit. So I
don't really I haven't seen any commercials. Necessarily, they're showing
me like what the what the end thing is, what
the fad is, whatever it is, and it's probably coming
(02:27):
from Amazon anyway. So I don't really know, but I
don't know what the what the brand new thing is.
I do remember the Beanie babies and the furbies were popular,
and then of course the talking Elmo, and that's usually
the thing that people, you know, the day after Thanksgiving
when Americans attacked each other shopping and it was usually
(02:48):
over like a talking Elmo. But none of that is
going on any anymore either, like nobody's fighting over toys
or anything like that. I think that's probably a good
thing in the end. It's probably a development in our civilization.
And I think I can I can get behind, and
I think I can also get behind the idea of
(03:12):
hanging out with Canadians and becoming one.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I don't know. I mean, Kevin.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
O'Leary was on Fox News and if you just heard
Jim Carafano, the Canadians, it's a complicated thing because of
their governmental structure.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
But for the most part.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Canadians are a lot like Americans, except they're Canadians and
in some places they're speaking French and Quebec of that
kind of thing. But they're but they're an interesting lot.
And Kevin O'Leary is like, no, this is a this
is a thing.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
We could just forty one million Canadians, basically a population
of California sitting on the world's largest amounts of all resources,
including the most important energy and water. Canadians over the
holidays the last two days have been talking about this.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
They want to hear more and so, you.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Know, there's obviously a lot of issues, more details. But
what this could be is the beginning of an economic union.
Think about the power of combining the two economies, erasing
the border between Canada and the United States and putting
all that resource up to the northern borders where China
and Russia are knocking on the door. So secure that
give a common currency, figure out taxes across the board,
(04:22):
get everything trading both ways, create a new almost EO
like passport.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I like this idea, and.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
At least half of Canadians are interested. The problem is
the government's collapsing in Canada right now. Nobody wants Trudeau
to negotiate this deal. I don't want him doing it
for me, So I'm going to go to mar A Lago.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
I'll start the narrative.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I mean, it seems like a pretty good idea,
and I think what we might want to do is
hurry it up as we start to begin, you know,
the mass deportations, because then we.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Just adopt Canada and then deport.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Justin Trudeau and and all the branch Covidians up there
who were raiding homes and churches and things like that,
and maybe send them somewhere where people are still crazy,
like maybe even parts of Germany.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
But even Germany is starting to loosen up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
But the idea of having one monolithic North America. And
I even think Mexico, you know, believe me, folks, you know,
I talk to people.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Who not only I know a guy who is from Toronto.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Toronto is a beautiful city, gorgeous place, and a lot
of Canada is.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And then in Mexico, like a lot of people think.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Of Guadalajara and Tijuana and places like that, but Mexico
City is a gorgeous place.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I guess it. It's a pretty high falutant place.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
And I realized that some people think of you know,
Canada is just a bunch of tall trees, and they
think of Mexico as just a bunch of you know,
barrios and and old pickup trucks. But it's really a
fairly well developed country, and you wouldn't you wouldn't know
it by just kind of washing the news or doing whatever,
(06:12):
and so some.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Kind I'm surprised.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I mean, again, I'm not a big fan of the
NAFTA and all the try I don't. I don't want
toy treaties with anybody. We've had enough of those, and
we need to We need to get out of the
stay out of the Paris the Court, get back out
of that again. And all the arrangements we have with
foreign countries and foreign entities we can get rid of
(06:36):
and not have. But we can still have relationships with
some fairly decent people, and we could capitalize on the
merging of our resources and that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
The only thing, obviously is that Canada is great.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But you don't want to be in a situation where
you are, you know, adopting another puppy, you know what
I mean, and having to spend a ton of money,
because heaven knows, we're spending a ton of money already
on things we don't need.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I don't want to we're going to kind of.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Adopt another country and start paying for all their all
their stuff because our resources are running. Thing, you wouldn't
know that though, if you looked at the amount of
money that is flying out of the treasury brought to
you by the IRS. So apparently at this point a
million taxpayers, and I guarantee you you're probably not one
(07:31):
of them. We'll get up to fourteen hundred dollars from
the IRS, and this is all related to COVID. They're
going to receive special payments up to fourteen hundred dollars
from the IRS in the coming weeks. It's going to
be directly deposited into these eligible bank accounts.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
And this is basically a distribution of.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Two point four billion dollars to people who didn't claim
a recovery rebate credit on their twenty twenty one tax returns.
And I can't I don't know whether I did or didn't.
I don't have no idea. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
This is your Morning show with Michael Deltrono.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Polks, let me tell you something about ABC News. So
ABC has a real problem. As you know, Stephanopoulos has
just had a fifteen million dollar defamation suit and then
he summarily signed a brand new contract and he suddenly
is in better shape than he ever was. At ABC,
(08:45):
So whatever's going on there, I don't know, But of
all the networks, and by the way, there is a
study out right now showing that basic news consumption I'm
talking about network news consumption has gone way way down,
especially among Democrats, oddly enough, and it's gone way way down.
(09:10):
But outside of all that, local news and local news
consumption has not gone way down. It's people still trust
their local news stations more than they do the network stations.
And I happen to agree, based on what I've been
able to see in Saint Louis and beyond that, the
(09:34):
local news outlets seemed to be a lot more objective
than the national ones do, and they seem to be
a little bit more likable and accessible than the national guys,
and that's a good thing. I think you should support
your local television stations, I would imagine, and maybe you
(09:58):
have something to say about this, but I seem to
really think that a lot of local news organizations are
pretty much doing a pretty good job, and good for them.
Having worked for one for a long time, I'm still
impressed that there there hasn't been this saturation of craziness
that seems to be emblematic of the national news guys,
(10:24):
and so I'm happy about that.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I'm happy for the local news outlets, but.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
A lot of them are now starting to be starting
to be muscled by the networks and threatened by the
networks regarding affiliation and beyond.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I mean, just an example like that ABC. It's not
only the news people, it's also their programming like the View,
And he's the oldest he would.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Be the oldest living president, and Trump would be the
oldest living convicted felon.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
So who who has got more?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah? Well, you know, yeah, but that didn't age very well.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
But it turns out that actually these network people are
at a level of peril with guess what the brand
new FCC chief. So, Brendan Carr is the new SCC chairman,
and he is a conservative, and he basically wrote to
(11:26):
Bob Iger, who is the Disney CEO, and of course,
as you know, Disney owns ABC, and said, hey, buddy,
let me tell you some I understand you're kind of
in this fight with a lot of the local guys,
and you are trying to muscle them for money, and
(11:48):
you're trying to threaten them with all of these things,
and including saying that you're going to take away their
ABC affiliation. So what they're trying to get in return
with Disney and the network is trying to get a
return is they're trying to get all these financial concessions,
operational concessions, everything else from your local television news organizations that.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Are already strapped as it is.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Advertising is hard to come by, and viewership is a
lot lower than it used to be back in the day,
and that's just a natural occurrence as people see other
avenues to get their weather or their sports or what
have you, and the consumption of local news is way down,
(12:40):
so they don't really have a whole lot of wiggle room.
And so Brendan Carr is saying, and I know that
you probably might be able to see this, and you're
in your local broadcast outlets. You've maybe seen an anchor
has been there for twenty five years suddenly let go
or what have you and being.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Replaced by this.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
You've probably seen it somewhere where you are, and if
you have somebody to say about it again, hit that
talkback button on the iHeartRadio app. So they're already in
a bad place their avenues for seeking other kinds of revenue, like,
for instance, buying another station is cut off by SEC regulations.
(13:19):
That might actually change, so you might in your city,
you might see a local television station buy another one.
If Brendan Carr, the new SEC chairman, has his way,
that's going to be a really important thing. It's going
to change the way people operate. It's going to change
(13:39):
the way you get news and your local broadcasts happen.
But Brendan Carr directly wrote to Bob Eiger and said,
do not do this. Don't start to hammer away at
your local affiliates and try to extort all this money
from them and make their lives miserable and result in
(14:03):
resulting in blackouts and other harm to people who are
watching your television stations, because we have a way of
punishing you for that. And Brendan Carr is not playing either.
And this could have a real impact on how you
get your information and how your local affiliates are operating
(14:25):
and all that kind of thing. But man, it just
seems like everybody that President Trump is appointing in his
cabinet they are ready for some change. They're ready, in fact,
for a sea change, and it's going to be a
brand new day, come Inauguration Day on all levels and
(14:46):
now including your local television stations and the SCC. But
but basically the administration and listen, I don't favor you know,
Yankee life.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I don't want to play that political game with networks.
I want as much freedom as possible. I'm sure you
do too.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
And that's where we need to be.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
When it comes to promoting this kind of freedom and
broadcasting freedom and everything else. But there has to be
at some point someone has to have some accountability.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
And if the networks are going.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
To continue to push propaganda and lies and then even
extort money from their local affiliates, Brendan Carr is not
going to allow that to happen. And so it's a
brand new day and we couldn't be happier about it.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
And by the way, did you know.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That I didn't know the bald Eagle wasn't the national bird.
Well it is now, believe it or not, President Joe
actually did something right.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I'll talk about that on the other side.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This is your Morning Show, and I'm Jamie Allman filling
in for the great Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
If Donald Trump named the bald eagle as the national bird,
there'd be criticism of it somehow, and they find something,
they find something wrong with whatever decision he made. So
I think, you know, Biden is being graceful to the
bald eagle so that it cannot be associated now with
(16:38):
a Donald Trump move. And of course he's public doing
it because a lot of people are talking about how
he's kind of setting the stage for all kinds of
nonsense to make life hard for Donald Trump, or just
to plant all these seeds and do that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
And I think this is one time where he just
kind of wanted to.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Preempt it, because I'm sure this was probably on President
Trump's to do list once he was sworn in.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
But yeah, bald eagle is now the national bird of
the United States. Did you realize it wasn't. President Biden
signed a new lawmaking it official. The bald eagle has
been a symbol of the power and strength of the
US for more than two hundred and forty years, but
now it is the United States bird. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It's funny, how and that's an ABC local affiliate. To
my point, By the way, it say ABC shoven in
Chicago and they're saying it with a smile on their face,
which the national people, even if Joe Biden did it,
would still find some way to look at some association
with the bald eagle, and you know, they find some
(17:41):
way to turn into some associated with slavery or whatever.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
It's just crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
And speaking of the news business, now PBS and NPR
as you know, you pay for them, so I hope
you like them.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Your tax dollars pay for them.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
And don't know why tax dollars go to pay for
public broadcasting is it's beyond me.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I don't know why that is, but we do.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
And your PBS network decided they were going to promote
the PolitiFact, which is one of these organizations is you know,
like it's axios in Politico and all these organizations that
kind of seem like they are innocuous and balanced, but
they're really sometimes biased operations. So this organization called PolitiFact
(18:30):
decided that, oh, let me ask you this. Go on
to the iHeartRadio app and hit that microphone button and
tell me what you think the lie of the year
would be. In fact, just just speak into the windshield.
If you're in the car, I know what you're thinking.
(18:54):
The lie of the year is. I know exactly what
you're thinking, and that is that Joe Biden is chipper
and healthy and everything else. And again, I wish that
he were chipper, and I wish that he were healthy.
I don't want to see anybody deteriorate. But the reality is,
as we've seen time after time after time, people coming
(19:17):
forward and apologizing, well they're apologizing for not claiming that
they didn't recognize that Joe Biden was as unprepared for
his duties as he was, but they did recognize it,
they just didn't tell the truth about it. And so
when you're looking at what the lie of the year is,
(19:38):
that's probably the lie of the year.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
If there is such a thing.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
It's kind of like the PolitiFact decide, because there's never
going to be a lie of the year that is
told by somebody coming from the.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Left side of our world. That's never going to happen.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And I bet if you think about it, you'll be
able to think about what you think some of the
biased media things.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Is the lie of the year?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Right?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah? Here it is comment.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Stood out as Politifacts twenty twenty four Lie of the Year.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
It was the claim heard around the world, watched by
an audience of more than sixty seven million people during
September's presidential debate, and raided pants on fire by PolitiFact.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs the people that came in,
They're eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the pets
of the people that lived there.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, it was what was happening in Springfield, Ohio, and
there were some document There was some documentation of it.
I'm not saying that it was happening to at the
level that people were saying it was happening and not
saying it was rampant, but it was happening.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
There were some examples. People were calling nine to one one.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
There were nine to one one calls. I'm not quite
sure it was the be all, end all of everything,
but it was an indication. It was really more of
a symbol too, of the kind of stress that still
has remained unexplained that the US government was putting on Springfield,
(21:27):
Ohio by dumping a bunch of Haitian immigrants into that town.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
When some people were.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Explaining it, they were like, weeah, well, there are jobs
people aren't taking, and so we need them to take
jobs because manufacturing is back like that doesn't make any sense.
How about bringing back the people who left Springfield because
of a lack of economic opportunities. How about helping them
come back and resettle in the town where they grew
up or what have you instead of that still hasn't
(21:57):
been explained. And there were there it was. It's weird,
but there was video of people who were taking cats
and taking things and geese and stuff from lakes and
things like that. I'm not saying it was the biggest
story of the year, but it certainly wasn't a total lie.
(22:21):
A total lie would be that Joe Biden is healthy.
A total lie would be that the border is secure.
And you could probably think of a ton of other
ones that you heard coming across that are not being
considered to be any kind of lie, and yet PolitiFact
(22:44):
decides that's going to be the lie of the year.
I mean, let me tell you something. PolitiFact at least
could just say like one of the lies of the year,
you know what I mean, or one of ten lies
of the year, and just include some of the other
lies of the year.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
That would be a.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Little more balance, a little more fair, And if you want,
if you have the opinion that the cat eating was
a lie. Even if it let's just pretend it was
a lie, does it still measure up to being the lie.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Of the year.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
And I'm trying to figure out like how they can
determine if that's the lie of the year. And you're thinking, well, all,
then come on there. They're bias journalists whatever, I get it.
But they don't even try to hide their bias. At
the very least, if you just kind of said, here
are the five lies of the year and included the
cat eating in Springfield as one of the five lives
(23:39):
of the year, at least just give kind of some
kind of impression one way or the other that you are,
at least to a certain degree balanced, or at least
looking at the world in a fair kind of way.
This is why so many people in this country are
tending to and away from mainstream media. Why so many
(24:04):
people are just simply deciding, hey, we're not going to
get our news from the mainstream media anymore, and they're
going right to their iPhones and they're done.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Don't bother with Wikipedia either.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Though, by the way, there's something afoot with that organization.
I'll have some details for you on the other side
of this Happy Friday to all of you. This is
your morning show with Michael del Jorno, Jamie Alman. Pleased
and privileged to be filling in.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Jamie Allman here with you, and I will be back
with you and next week for a couple of days
as well. Thank you Adam, and thank you Read for
all of your help with the show, and thank you
Michael del Jorno for your graciousness in allowing me to
fill in. Red was communicating with me off the air
and said, Hey, the law of the day lie of
(25:01):
the year has to be hands down, that Joe Biden
will not pardon his son. And again, as I talked
to Read about this, something at the very least, if
you're gonna do a lie of the year, do like
at least five lives of the year. Don't make something
about Caddy eating in Springfield as the lie of the year. Like,
(25:21):
no one in their right mind, even if you're even
if you're a Democrat, you know that's not the lie
of the year. So it's just it's just more craziness,
all right. Speaking of Democrats. Oh, by the way, Elon
Musk and vac you guys, Hey, don't get too high
(25:42):
falutin about these H one B visus guys. I understand
the issue. I understand there are a lot of people
in the tech world who are complaining about the lack
of skilled engineers and that kind of thing. But when
Elon Musk said we need to double the number of
H one BE visus, it's like that's not sitting well
(26:03):
with a lot of normal, average, everyday people. I think
there are really a lot of talented people coming from overseas.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But if we're going to make America great again and
focus on this country, then perhaps the answer longer term
might be to make sure our educational system is equipped
and raising the kinds of people that foreign educational systems
are because clearly there are foreign educational systems that are
(26:33):
working out pretty well, since there's a demand for talented
foreigners who have engineering expertise and everything else. So what
are they doing over there that we are not doing
over here? Maybe that needs to be our first focus.
And also I think companies should be required because the
H one BVSA law says that you have to show
(26:56):
that you don't have enough people enough America and is
to cover those jobs.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
That's that's what it shows.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
You have to show, and very few of these companies
even bother to show that.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
So I think we need a few more.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Things to check off the priority list before we just
start tweeting out like Elon and Vivek did that we
need to double the number of H one B visas.
That doesn't sit well with a movement called make America
Great Again. And I think Elon had made a good
point because he said, you know, it's kind of like
sports teams, you know, you need to get you know,
(27:32):
so these teams get people from the Dominican Republic because
they don't have people.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
I understand that.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I get that, But if we're really going to focus
on building up our educational system in our country, then
we need to focus on building up our educational system
or a country and not just keep on seeking out
artificial band aids and things like that.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Nothing against these foreign skilled workers.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I think that if you know, there's if there are
not jobs or not being filled, they're not being filled
and companies do need to survive and prosper. I get that,
but sometimes I think to rush a bunch of people
in here without focusing on going back to the drawing
board and working on that. I think that's probably a
better idea. If you have a quick thought on that,
(28:17):
you can go to the iHeartRadio app, hit that microphone
button and let me know what you think.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
All right.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
So one of my favorite Democrats is hands down Mary
Ann Williamson. And it's not just because she's kind of
like this hippie dippy, which I think is kind of fun.
I like her attitude. She just she seems like a
really nice person. And when she was running last time,
I happened to be probably one of the few people
(28:46):
who is, for instance, a Trump supporter, and I am
and have been from the very beginning of the day
when he was running back in twenty fifteen. But I'm
probably the only one with them with two mary Ann
Williamson political buttons, just because for some reason I kind
of just fell into that zone and she seemed to
(29:09):
be attractive in a personality way to me. And now
she wants to be the chairman of the Democratic National Committee,
and if I'm a Democrat, I'm thinking, I don't know,
maybe be able to try that, because listen, when Republicans
and conservatives basically started to gravitate towards Donald Trump. There
(29:30):
are a lot of people who thought Republicans and Conservatives.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Were nuts, and.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Donald Trump and this world and this movement has shown
that you need to stop taking things off the table.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Put everything on the table.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
You never know what you're gonna get, And in my opinion,
I think what we got as a greater country and
a greater future for our families and for our children.
And Democrats I'm taking Mary and Williamson up on her
yoga like candidacy for the DNC chair.
Speaker 10 (30:09):
I feel that in order for the Democrats to rise
like a phoenix from the ashes of our electoral defeat,
we need to look at more than just the outer
issues such as data analysis and field organizing and fundraising.
We need to transform in a way. We need to
reinvent the Democratic Party in order to counter what MAGA
(30:30):
is bringing to the table. There's a collective adrenaline rush
in all of that, and we have to create our
own massive psychological and emotional appeal for the American people.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, I'd love to know more about how you're going
to do that, but at this point, if I'm a Democrat,
I'm like wandering into Mary Ann Williamson's yoga studio, and
I'm gonna sit cross legged on the floor for just
a little bit and listen to what she has to say.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
I understand why we lost it. I understand because I've
traveled extensively throughout this country and I've seen how much
pain there is out there. I've been up close and
personal with people who didn't have health care, who couldn't
survive on just one job, who were so depressed about
so many of the conditions in their lives.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Well, it sounds to me like you need to be
in Trump's cabinet, my dear, because those demands and those
needs in that vacuum seems to be if, if in
fact President Trump is able to achieve what he wants
to achieve, it seems to be already resolved or on
their way to being resolved. And so it sounds to
(31:38):
me like maybe Maryann Williamson is maybe too good for
a party that just simply doesn't get it, and it
doesn't seem to be trying to get it, and you
hope that ultimately maybe it does.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Because you want people to succeed.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
We want people a vibrant republic and a bunch of
different ideas, and Democrats aren't devoid of great ideas. It's
just that people with the better ideas don't seem to
kind of be gravitating towards the top or the lead
of the party.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
And I don't know, maybe Mary is going ahead.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
Directly due to bad public policy, and too many of
them didn't feel like the Democratic Party had their back.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Yeah, no, I know you got it.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
So either join the Republican Party, I think, Mary Anne,
or form your own party because it sounds like you've
got something going on that works, and maybe that's the key.
All Right, my friends, really appreciates you. I hope you
have a blessed weekend, and I'm glad you're having a
happy Christmas. I appreciate you indulging me listening to the show.
(32:48):
Definitely appreciate Michael del Giorno for allowing me the privilege
of sitting in the studio chair for him, and again
Adam and read.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Thank you guys. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
