Times they are a changing and the pendulum is swinging back due to Trumpian common sense from the US to Canada to Mexico and a party shot to the Democrat Party from Sen. Joe Manchin and how they have tarnished the Democrat brand.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern in great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Delchruna.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
And good morning everyone, And this is Jamie Allman. Proud
and privilege to be filling in for the great Michael
del Chorno. Happy December twenty three, everybody. One of my
favorite days, because this is the day that I go shopping.
This is the day that I get everything taken care of.
(00:45):
This is the day then I get all the ingredients
for the Christmas Eve soup. This is the day that
I go to Walgreens and get one hundred dollars worth
of chocolate for the kids' stockings. This is the day
we have just to kind of float and take it
all in. Not in a desperation mode or anything like that.
(01:05):
We just take it all in just like real people.
The twenty third probably one of my favorite days. The
world is changing as we note it. If you can
just imagine, Taco Bell now has chicken nuggets. So but
let me tell you something, December twenty five is still
Christmas Day, so it's coming. It's creeping up on us
(01:25):
in only the most positive ways. But yeah, the world
is changing and I think you're going to pick that
up a little bit this morning on the Your Morning
Show with Michael Del Giorno, and lots of things are changing,
not only here are the other States, but around the world.
The Democrat Party is changing. People are starting to realize
(01:46):
that the party needs to go back to the drawing board,
much like the Republican Party had to do and did
and successfully pulled it off with a new leader in
the formulation of Donald J. Trump. And also ladies and
gentlemen sweeping the world. You notice Canada. Nobody ever thought
Taco Bell would have chicken nuggets, and nobody ever thought
(02:08):
Canada would ever change, but they're on their way to
a conservative leadership. That wow, I mean, it's nothing short
of incredible that Pierre Trudeau that'd even be a chance
that he would be leaving, and that chance is good.
They have a new Trumpian Prime minister candidate who is
(02:30):
just absolutely amazing, and you'll hear from him this morning
in the meantime, are you tired of the whole debt
ceiling continuing resolution stuff? I mean, these people, okay, you're
home for Christmas, guys, we get it. This happens every
time around Christmas time. Is these goofballs up there on
(02:51):
Capitol Hill declare an emergency and they start stuffing their
own stockings with all kinds of pork barreling and everything else,
and all kinds of pet projects and things like that.
And I think I was able to isolate one of
the main problems with what went on up there the
past week or so. And let me tell you something, Frankly,
(03:14):
I'm a lot like you. I really don't always understand
what a debt ceiling is. I don't understand how this
whole process works. And apparently you go up there and
you learn the code somehow, and everybody starts speaking the
same language. I think we ought to have separate bills,
(03:35):
separate spending bills. You can do that. I remember during
the time when they were running Kevin McCarthy out, Matt
Gates and all the other guys were saying, let's just
do this singer. Let's do one bill here, one bill there,
one bill for that one and one bill for that one.
It's not that difficult. And then what happened is Donald
Trump and Elon Musk came in and they actually dared
(03:58):
to say something about what was going on. And all
of these people in d C. The senators and even
some of the members of the House are all harumphing
over the fact that Donald Trump and Elon Musk got involved.
What are they doing? But they're not elected officials. What's
going on here? Kevin Kramer is a Republican Senator and
(04:22):
this is what he had to say about these guys
because they were coming in. Is it really frustrated?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm very frustrated, can you tell?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
But I'm frustrated with a smile. I mean, you frustrated
with them with the president, I'm frustrated with his team
to not have engaged sooner than this. So what's funny
about that is that they're blaming Trump and Elon Musk
for coming in and saying, hey, this doesn't really look
(04:51):
that great what you guys are doing. And they're blaming
Donald Trump and Elon Musk for the fact that what
they're doing doesn't look great. It's kind of like the
the blaming the police for not stopping him before he
started stealing. You know, if only there was police would
have stopped me from breaking into the jewelry store, that
I wouldn't have stolen the jewelry or even tried to.
(05:14):
And that's the attitude among these guys up there on
Capitol Hill, is that they are all part of some
club that apparently you and I don't belong to. And
you and I, through well, our supposed emissaries in the
form of independent people like Donald Trump and e La Musque,
are not members of Congress. But still, last time I checked,
(05:37):
in this country, not only could you get involved as
a public citizen in the process of what's happening up there,
the meat grinder of what's happening on Capitol Hill, but
you know, you can also become Speaker of the House
as an unelected member of Congress. I still can't believe
the founding fathers came up with that one. But it's
(05:59):
a brilliant one. It's a fun one. And whether or
not you think that actually Elon Musk should be House Speaker,
isn't it wonderful in this country that he could be?
Isn't it wonderful in this country that you could be Speaker?
Of the House. And that was the ultimate handoff to
the power of the people from our amazing founding fathers.
(06:21):
Is aside from the fact that they create the Senate,
which is just outstanding and a great idea and so preciant,
and how they could have figured out and the electoral
College and all these wonderful things even before we had
the number of states that we have. And they also
though kept open the possibility that anybody off the street
(06:42):
could become the Speaker of the House of Representatives. That's
just a brilliant thing. That's a love of country, that's
a love of us, that's the love of the people.
And so times they are changing because some of these
folks really had their eyes open, even though I don't
think ultimately we got what we really wanted to get,
all right, coming up, a funny thing happened on the
(07:05):
way to trying to be funny there at Saturday Night Live.
I'm Jamie Allman, Proud to be filling in for the
great Michael Del Giorno. This is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Really appreciate you sharing your morning with me this morning.
As we run up to the day of Christmas, which
is such a beautiful time. Let me tell you something, folks,
and this is the day that you can finally get
all your last minute stuff done. Just relax and take
it all in and pass on the right. Do anything
(07:45):
you want to do, just do it with a smile
on your face. Right, all right. So we get the
news this morning that Joe Biden has now commuted the
sentences of thirty seven federal death Row inmates in the
final months of his presidency. Of the forty inmates on
federal death Row. According to death penaltyinfo dot org, Biden
(08:07):
is commuting the sentences of thirty seven men sentenced to death,
reclassifying their sentences to life without the possibility of parole.
The three inmates not included are Robert Bauers, who was
responsible for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life
(08:27):
Synagogue in twenty eighteen, Dylan Rufe, the white supremacist who
killed nine black parishioners at Emmanuel Mae Church in Charleston,
South Carolina, and that was in twenty fifteen, and the
Boston Marathon bombers. So that's the situation we're in right now,
(08:49):
and there's going to be a lot of consternation about that.
But the juries in these cases did decide on the
death penalty, and now those death penalties have been erased
except for those three I just mentioned there. And I personally,
just philosophically, am not a fan of the death penalty anyway.
(09:14):
I just don't believe that the state should have that
kind of power. I never have, and that part of
me believes that I just don't want the state in
any way, shape or form, regardless of whether or not
it's a jury of repeers deciding to end the life
of one of its citizens. Aside from the mistakes you
(09:36):
can make and the kinds of things that can happen
where people could be sentenced to death and even executed
for something that they didn't do, or that the process
wasn't pure, whatever, that's a risk that I think is
a risk that we shouldn't take. But overall, I do
(09:56):
believe that the states shouldn't be given that kind of power.
In my opinion, the only power is in God's hands.
In that way, we wonder whether or not Luigi Maggioni
will ultimately be sentenced to death in New York, and
that could happen, and given all the love being sent
(10:18):
his way by people. This is one of the most
confounding things to me. And I'm sure you all have
just been looking at some of the pictures and the
memes on Twitter and you wonder whether or not these
are real people who do this, Like there's no way,
there's no possible way you could possibly put Luigi and
(10:39):
Mangioni's face over a picture that would otherwise depict a
divine individual, you know, with the r R around him.
I mean, it just was unbelievable. You might have seen
some of the memes already and you're thinking, there's no
way my fellow citizens really are thinking this way, but
some people do. And then just when you think there's
(11:01):
no way, you might turn on saturd out Live and hear.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
This, Yeah, yeah, definitely Wu You're for justice, right And seriously,
even the SNL anchors are just shocked by this outpouring
of love for Luigi Mangoti.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And I'm going to take the graceful side on this
and give some of these individuals the benefit of the doubt.
Do you mind? So here's what I think is happening.
I don't think the story of Brian Thompson is being
told enough. If at all. Do you know the story
(11:51):
of Brian Thompson. Well, first of all, do you know
that Luigi Mangioti wasn't even a client of the insure
company where Brian Thompson was, That it's leader wasn't even
a client. And still it's confounding how this whole thing
went down anyway, the timing that mangioni had, even though
(12:13):
he doesn't seem particularly intelligent, it's kind of a rich
kid who was you know, the silver spoon in his
mouth was definitely there, which is why it's so ironic
that this rich kid, who you know, forty thousand dollars
a year private school, traveled the whole world on his
(12:35):
family's nursing home money they made with their nursing home chains, which,
by the way, have a ton of complaints about treatment
the patients. But that's neither here nor there. Maybe people
don't know enough about that part of the story. And
then this rich kid winds up executing allegedly a guy
(12:57):
who grew up the exact opposite way that he did.
I wonder if we've told the story enough about Brian Thompson,
his dad being a grain elevator worker in Iowa and
Brian Thompson went to public school, public high school, and
then went to the University of Iowa, which is no
(13:21):
Ivy League school. It's not a bad school, but it's
no Ivy League school. And Brian Thompson then clawed his
way to the top of the corporate ladder. This was
a guy who was entire life was really never handed anything. Now,
obviously he was under investigation for some nefarious activities regarding
(13:44):
alleged insider trading and that kind of stuff, and who
knows what happens when you get that kind of elevation,
that kind of power, that who knows. But in all
he was murdered by a guy who lived a much
better and cushier life than he did. And I'm wondering
(14:05):
when you hear this cheering for Luigi Mangioni, whether those
people just don't know the full story of Brian Thompson.
And maybe that's the problem in this country for a
lot of people, is we stereotype and size people up,
(14:29):
and we kind of infuse some of our personal resentments
into really critical life outcomes and life stories and things
like this. And you're thinking yourself, Wow, how could anybody
think that this guy is a legit Robin Hood type
(14:50):
character to cheer on, and I think, I think again,
the only problem is that I think a lot of
times in this country, and whether it's the new media
or whatever, we're just not telling the stories of the victims.
We always learn so much about the perpetrators or their
manifestos and things like that, and we don't have to
(15:13):
see dead bodies and carnage and that kind of thing.
But it would be nice, kind of to see the
stories of the people who were victimized by these killers
with their manifestos and they're elevated to this femosity that
I think is so undeserved. And maybe we just sometimes
(15:34):
get our priorities mixed up in trying to focus more
on the victims of the crimes instead of the perpetrators.
I think that's probably what it's all about, all right.
I hope they clear up this drone issue before Santa
starts flying around the sky. I'm going to give you
a great example of just how magical Santa is on
(15:54):
the other side of this. I'm Jamie Allman filling in
for the great Michael del Jorno. This is your Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Good Morning, This is your Morning Show with Michael deltona.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Un must vice president now and blah blah blah blah blah,
thinking that was going to kind of goat him into
saying something stupid or saying something demeaning about Elon Musk
or whatever, and just for the sake of trying to
kind of assuage Goofballville. Donald Trump did say something about
(16:32):
that whole hoax, which is what he called it, at
that Turning Point conference, which was by the way, huge
in Phoenix, Arizona, and Tom Holman was was amazing. I'll
get more to him just a little later on. But anyway,
for those who want to know whether or not Elon
(16:53):
Musk is really the president or not, here's Donald J. Trump.
The new one is. President Trump has the presidency.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
To Elon must No, No, that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
But he looked like anybody there thought it would.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know, here's the thing. What's so funny about all
this is that President Trump and a lot of you
fought so hard to make this election happen. President Trump
almost got killed twice in trying to become president of
(17:34):
the United States. President Trump never quit when it came
to working hard, when it came to reaching out to
people who otherwise had never been reached out to by
the Republican Party. He worked so hard, had so many
people working with him, alongside of him, and even for him.
(17:56):
The idea that somehow President Trump was going to get
elect did president and just hand it over to Elon
Musk is ridiculous on its face, which is why I
don't think much of that rumor is really coming from
you in any way, shape or form. But all of
the other people who kind of things like this happen
(18:19):
that they don't understand because it's not part of the process.
It's not part of that little thing that goes on
Washington where only the elected people as well as the
news media shall talk in any way, shape or form
about bills. It's kind of like, yeah, I didn't hear
that on Sesame Street, by the way, when they did
the bills thing. So these people just don't understand real life.
(18:44):
And in real life, you have a guy like Donald Trump,
and he's got people around him who are individuals who
have powerful voices, aren't afraid to use them, and they
want to muscularly dance President Trump's policies and things like that.
It's but these other people all that stuff. It's kind
(19:07):
of like the dog staring into the Victrola cone. They
just have no idea about what real life is all about.
So for the goofballs, President Trump has to go back
to the chalkboard and kind of lay things out and say,
all right. And I think he's doing it for the
entertainment of an audience at turning point there Conservative conference
(19:29):
there for for their entertainment. Only he doesn't. He's not
teaching them or informing of anything they don't already know.
You know, that's not happening. But Elon's done an amazing job.
Is the nice smart people that we could rely on? Yeah,
I mean, and that's probably one of the greatest lines
(19:51):
because it's it's so deadpan but so true, and it's
kind of nice considering we have not had that experience
in full scale of late. He's like, isn't it nice
to have smart people around? Isn't it kind of refreshing?
Is it refreshing? The guy who know only owns X
(20:13):
but also has a spaceship company that's probably going to
go out and rescue some two astronauts who were trapped
at the International Space Station for longer than they wanted
to be and this is all done practically in their sleep.
Got a great job. And I'll tell you he landed
(20:33):
that rocket a few months ago. It landed. It's coming
down so fast, seventeen thousand miles an hour, he says.
And coming down, it looks like it's getting rid of and
then all of a sudden, the gets go on. It
blows it down well. And this is another thing that
I love about President Trump and his manner of speaking,
(20:55):
because he was amazed, like all of us. There are
so many people who took for granted a rocket landing
perpendicularly into a cylinder, which we had never seen before,
and for a lot of us simpletons. And I would
think of myself as being one of those, because I'm
(21:16):
kind of like just mesmerized by that whole thing. I'm
looking at that tape and I'm thinking that's the most
important story of the day, and the rest of the
media is like ho hum. And I think a lot
of that is because, like it is with Elon Musk,
that whole thing, that whole concept of kind of working
(21:39):
hard and being creative and taking chances and taking risks
and all those kinds of things, really is very foreign
to people who basically, and some elected officials are like this,
not all of them, and some members of the media
are like this. Not all of them. Basically have had
kind of things handed to them, whether it be justries
(22:00):
or what have you, or stock payoffs or way to
have you and so nothing. I mean, like a lot
of people in Washington never fill a gas tank and
hardly ever go to the grocery store and buy Hamburger.
They just don't do it. I would think that the
best question you could possibly ask some elected representatives is
(22:23):
how much is a pound of ground beef? That's all
I want to know. I don't want to know about
your insider trading or this bill or that bill. I
want to know if you know how much a pound
of ground beef will cost? Or what is it doesn't
eggs cost? What does a gallon of gas cost? What
(22:45):
does a toothbrush cost? I don't even know that. But
you know what I'm saying is that's the kind of
thing that that kind of basic stuff and the basic
way of communicating and knowing real life is why we
love President Trump's attitude and why I think a lot
(23:06):
of people gravitated towards him who otherwise maybe wouldn't have
gravitated towards a Republican. But when that Republican is Donald J. Trump,
you get the drift there. And he has smart people
around him. That's the important thing. Tom Holman is one
of them, and I'll bring that to you, especially in
the wake of what happened in New York on that subway,
(23:28):
that tragedy.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
This is your Morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
So the drones interesting in this country. It's kind of
funny because we get so excited about these stories, and
we get so excited about them for a period of time,
and then suddenly we don't hear anything else about them.
And I'm kind of happy about that to a certain degree,
(24:03):
because I was really worried about the drones and now
I don't know whatever happened to the drones. They're still there, apparently.
And at one point there was an individual, he was
the mayor of a New Jersey town and he was like, oh, yeah, no,
these drones they are flying in a grid pattern looking
(24:23):
for radioactive waste and maybe even a nuclear warhead. Said
another guy. I'm thinking, oh, well, that's that's not good.
I wish the government would get on this and the
fact of the matter is those drones might not have
been looking for radioactive waste, but now we know there's
some missing radioactive waste in New Jersey. So then there's
(24:45):
another problem altogether, like we have and we need to
have something more to worry about. And then President Trump
he got a briefing and he says, I got the briefing,
but I can't tell you what the briefing said, but
I will say that the government knows what these are
(25:06):
and what's going on, and they should tell people what's
going on. And I'm thinking, well, okay, then tell us
what's going on. What's going on, and nobody's saying anything,
and then we hear from may Orcus. It's kind of
like talking to a your twelve year old kids sometimes
and you're just trying to get a straight answer out
(25:27):
of them, and may Orcus is like, well, there are
thousands of drones that fly in the air every day,
and he gives us some primer on drone flying in
the United States of America, like he's reading a Wikipedia
page about drones flying in America, and so we're not
getting any answers, and then suddenly the story just disappears.
(25:50):
So it's no longer on the front page of Drudge.
There aren't people being interviewed about what they think it is.
And the I from New Jersey who talked about the
drones looking for some kind of radioactive materials said he
heard that from the government, and now we're not hearing
anything at all. So I'm really mystified by it, and
(26:14):
I'm hoping that in some way, shape or form, they
get the drone thing resolved, because there were people who
were going to shoot the drones out of the sky,
and then you're thinking, well, this isn't going to work
out very well because we're heading into Christmas time and
there's going to be something flying in the sky that
will be certainly identifiable, but you never know whether people
(26:36):
are going to freak out about it, mistaking Santa and
his sleigh for a drone, and there were the FAA
even put out a warning saying no more drones over
New Jersey. I'm like, okay, well you need to make
an exception and not confuse this one light that's going
(26:57):
to be up in the sky for ane and you
can't certainly find Santa Claus. It says, no no way.
The North Pole doesn't pay out. They pay out enough
during the Christmas season anyway, and so we're gonna have
to just make a delineation that Listen, anything with the
(27:18):
light on it with a tiny reindeer is not a drone.
And if you see some big guy with a beard
sitting in it, he's not sitting in a drone because
drones don't have passengers. So that's two identifiable marks that
Santa Claus and his sleigh not a drone. So you
(27:39):
have no excuses now. By the way, even if people tried,
I do believe they would fail to bring down Santa
and his sleigh because Santa is, after all magic. Because
if you can imagine what it takes for Santa to
complete what he completed, let me tell you something, it's
nothing short of incredible. I know because I have delineated
(28:04):
and written down the physics of Santa. I'm talking about.
If Santa we're not magic, what physical properties would have
to go into Santa pulling off this amazing feat on
Christmas Eve, Christmas night, Christmas morning. If he had to
(28:26):
abide by the physical properties of physics, he couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael vinheld Joe Now,
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern in great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Delchruna.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
And good morning everyone, And this is Jamie Allman. Proud
and privilege to be filling in for the great Michael
del Chorno. Happy December twenty three, everybody. One of my
favorite days, because this is the day that I go shopping.
This is the day that I get everything taken care of.
(00:45):
This is the day then I get all the ingredients
for the Christmas Eve soup. This is the day that
I go to Walgreens and get one hundred dollars worth
of chocolate for the kids' stockings. This is the day
we have just to kind of float and take it
all in. Not in a desperation mode or anything like that.
(01:05):
We just take it all in just like real people.
The twenty third probably one of my favorite days. The
world is changing as we note it. If you can
just imagine, Taco Bell now has chicken nuggets. So but
let me tell you something, December twenty five is still
Christmas Day, so it's coming. It's creeping up on us
(01:25):
in only the most positive ways. But yeah, the world
is changing and I think you're going to pick that
up a little bit this morning on the Your Morning
Show with Michael Del Giorno, and lots of things are changing,
not only here are the other States, but around the world.
The Democrat Party is changing. People are starting to realize
(01:46):
that the party needs to go back to the drawing board,
much like the Republican Party had to do and did
and successfully pulled it off with a new leader in
the formulation of Donald J. Trump. And also ladies and
gentlemen sweeping the world. You notice Canada. Nobody ever thought
Taco Bell would have chicken nuggets, and nobody ever thought
(02:08):
Canada would ever change, but they're on their way to
a conservative leadership. That wow, I mean, it's nothing short
of incredible that Pierre Trudeau that'd even be a chance
that he would be leaving, and that chance is good.
They have a new Trumpian Prime minister candidate who is
(02:30):
just absolutely amazing, and you'll hear from him this morning
in the meantime, are you tired of the whole debt
ceiling continuing resolution stuff? I mean, these people, okay, you're
home for Christmas, guys, we get it. This happens every
time around Christmas time. Is these goofballs up there on
(02:51):
Capitol Hill declare an emergency and they start stuffing their
own stockings with all kinds of pork barreling and everything else,
and all kinds of pet projects and things like that.
And I think I was able to isolate one of
the main problems with what went on up there the
past week or so. And let me tell you something, Frankly,
(03:14):
I'm a lot like you. I really don't always understand
what a debt ceiling is. I don't understand how this
whole process works. And apparently you go up there and
you learn the code somehow, and everybody starts speaking the
same language. I think we ought to have separate bills,
(03:35):
separate spending bills. You can do that. I remember during
the time when they were running Kevin McCarthy out, Matt
Gates and all the other guys were saying, let's just
do this singer. Let's do one bill here, one bill there,
one bill for that one and one bill for that one.
It's not that difficult. And then what happened is Donald
Trump and Elon Musk came in and they actually dared
(03:58):
to say something about what was going on. And all
of these people in d C. The senators and even
some of the members of the House are all harumphing
over the fact that Donald Trump and Elon Musk got involved.
What are they doing? But they're not elected officials. What's
going on here? Kevin Kramer is a Republican Senator and
(04:22):
this is what he had to say about these guys
because they were coming in. Is it really frustrated?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm very frustrated, can you tell?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
But I'm frustrated with a smile. I mean, you frustrated
with them with the president, I'm frustrated with his team
to not have engaged sooner than this. So what's funny
about that is that they're blaming Trump and Elon Musk
for coming in and saying, hey, this doesn't really look
(04:51):
that great what you guys are doing. And they're blaming
Donald Trump and Elon Musk for the fact that what
they're doing doesn't look great. It's kind of like the
the blaming the police for not stopping him before he
started stealing. You know, if only there was police would
have stopped me from breaking into the jewelry store, that
I wouldn't have stolen the jewelry or even tried to.
(05:14):
And that's the attitude among these guys up there on
Capitol Hill, is that they are all part of some
club that apparently you and I don't belong to. And
you and I, through well, our supposed emissaries in the
form of independent people like Donald Trump and e La Musque,
are not members of Congress. But still, last time I checked,
(05:37):
in this country, not only could you get involved as
a public citizen in the process of what's happening up there,
the meat grinder of what's happening on Capitol Hill, but
you know, you can also become Speaker of the House
as an unelected member of Congress. I still can't believe
the founding fathers came up with that one. But it's
(05:59):
a brilliant one. It's a fun one. And whether or
not you think that actually Elon Musk should be House Speaker,
isn't it wonderful in this country that he could be?
Isn't it wonderful in this country that you could be Speaker?
Of the House. And that was the ultimate handoff to
the power of the people from our amazing founding fathers.
(06:21):
Is aside from the fact that they create the Senate,
which is just outstanding and a great idea and so preciant,
and how they could have figured out and the electoral
College and all these wonderful things even before we had
the number of states that we have. And they also
though kept open the possibility that anybody off the street
(06:42):
could become the Speaker of the House of Representatives. That's
just a brilliant thing. That's a love of country, that's
a love of us, that's the love of the people.
And so times they are changing because some of these
folks really had their eyes open, even though I don't
think ultimately we got what we really wanted to get,
all right, coming up, a funny thing happened on the
(07:05):
way to trying to be funny there at Saturday Night Live.
I'm Jamie Allman, Proud to be filling in for the
great Michael Del Giorno. This is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Really appreciate you sharing your morning with me this morning.
As we run up to the day of Christmas, which
is such a beautiful time. Let me tell you something, folks,
and this is the day that you can finally get
all your last minute stuff done. Just relax and take
it all in and pass on the right. Do anything
(07:45):
you want to do, just do it with a smile
on your face. Right, all right. So we get the
news this morning that Joe Biden has now commuted the
sentences of thirty seven federal death Row inmates in the
final months of his presidency. Of the forty inmates on
federal death Row. According to death penaltyinfo dot org, Biden
(08:07):
is commuting the sentences of thirty seven men sentenced to death,
reclassifying their sentences to life without the possibility of parole.
The three inmates not included are Robert Bauers, who was
responsible for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life
(08:27):
Synagogue in twenty eighteen, Dylan Rufe, the white supremacist who
killed nine black parishioners at Emmanuel Mae Church in Charleston,
South Carolina, and that was in twenty fifteen, and the
Boston Marathon bombers. So that's the situation we're in right now,
(08:49):
and there's going to be a lot of consternation about that.
But the juries in these cases did decide on the
death penalty, and now those death penalties have been erased
except for those three I just mentioned there. And I personally,
just philosophically, am not a fan of the death penalty anyway.
(09:14):
I just don't believe that the state should have that
kind of power. I never have, and that part of
me believes that I just don't want the state in
any way, shape or form, regardless of whether or not
it's a jury of repeers deciding to end the life
of one of its citizens. Aside from the mistakes you
(09:36):
can make and the kinds of things that can happen
where people could be sentenced to death and even executed
for something that they didn't do, or that the process
wasn't pure, whatever, that's a risk that I think is
a risk that we shouldn't take. But overall, I do
(09:56):
believe that the states shouldn't be given that kind of power.
In my opinion, the only power is in God's hands.
In that way, we wonder whether or not Luigi Maggioni
will ultimately be sentenced to death in New York, and
that could happen, and given all the love being sent
(10:18):
his way by people. This is one of the most
confounding things to me. And I'm sure you all have
just been looking at some of the pictures and the
memes on Twitter and you wonder whether or not these
are real people who do this, Like there's no way,
there's no possible way you could possibly put Luigi and
(10:39):
Mangioni's face over a picture that would otherwise depict a
divine individual, you know, with the r R around him.
I mean, it just was unbelievable. You might have seen
some of the memes already and you're thinking, there's no
way my fellow citizens really are thinking this way, but
some people do. And then just when you think there's
(11:01):
no way, you might turn on saturd out Live and hear.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
This, Yeah, yeah, definitely Wu You're for justice, right And seriously,
even the SNL anchors are just shocked by this outpouring
of love for Luigi Mangoti.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And I'm going to take the graceful side on this
and give some of these individuals the benefit of the doubt.
Do you mind? So here's what I think is happening.
I don't think the story of Brian Thompson is being
told enough. If at all. Do you know the story
(11:51):
of Brian Thompson. Well, first of all, do you know
that Luigi Mangioti wasn't even a client of the insure
company where Brian Thompson was, That it's leader wasn't even
a client. And still it's confounding how this whole thing
went down anyway, the timing that mangioni had, even though
(12:13):
he doesn't seem particularly intelligent, it's kind of a rich
kid who was you know, the silver spoon in his
mouth was definitely there, which is why it's so ironic
that this rich kid, who you know, forty thousand dollars
a year private school, traveled the whole world on his
(12:35):
family's nursing home money they made with their nursing home chains, which,
by the way, have a ton of complaints about treatment
the patients. But that's neither here nor there. Maybe people
don't know enough about that part of the story. And
then this rich kid winds up executing allegedly a guy
(12:57):
who grew up the exact opposite way that he did.
I wonder if we've told the story enough about Brian Thompson,
his dad being a grain elevator worker in Iowa and
Brian Thompson went to public school, public high school, and
then went to the University of Iowa, which is no
(13:21):
Ivy League school. It's not a bad school, but it's
no Ivy League school. And Brian Thompson then clawed his
way to the top of the corporate ladder. This was
a guy who was entire life was really never handed anything. Now,
obviously he was under investigation for some nefarious activities regarding
(13:44):
alleged insider trading and that kind of stuff, and who
knows what happens when you get that kind of elevation,
that kind of power, that who knows. But in all
he was murdered by a guy who lived a much
better and cushier life than he did. And I'm wondering
(14:05):
when you hear this cheering for Luigi Mangioni, whether those
people just don't know the full story of Brian Thompson.
And maybe that's the problem in this country for a
lot of people, is we stereotype and size people up,
(14:29):
and we kind of infuse some of our personal resentments
into really critical life outcomes and life stories and things
like this. And you're thinking yourself, Wow, how could anybody
think that this guy is a legit Robin Hood type
(14:50):
character to cheer on, and I think, I think again,
the only problem is that I think a lot of
times in this country, and whether it's the new media
or whatever, we're just not telling the stories of the victims.
We always learn so much about the perpetrators or their
manifestos and things like that, and we don't have to
(15:13):
see dead bodies and carnage and that kind of thing.
But it would be nice, kind of to see the
stories of the people who were victimized by these killers
with their manifestos and they're elevated to this femosity that
I think is so undeserved. And maybe we just sometimes
(15:34):
get our priorities mixed up in trying to focus more
on the victims of the crimes instead of the perpetrators.
I think that's probably what it's all about, all right.
I hope they clear up this drone issue before Santa
starts flying around the sky. I'm going to give you
a great example of just how magical Santa is on
(15:54):
the other side of this. I'm Jamie Allman filling in
for the great Michael del Jorno. This is your Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Good Morning, This is your Morning Show with Michael deltona.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Un must vice president now and blah blah blah blah blah,
thinking that was going to kind of goat him into
saying something stupid or saying something demeaning about Elon Musk
or whatever, and just for the sake of trying to
kind of assuage Goofballville. Donald Trump did say something about
(16:32):
that whole hoax, which is what he called it, at
that Turning Point conference, which was by the way, huge
in Phoenix, Arizona, and Tom Holman was was amazing. I'll
get more to him just a little later on. But anyway,
for those who want to know whether or not Elon
(16:53):
Musk is really the president or not, here's Donald J. Trump.
The new one is. President Trump has the presidency.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
To Elon must No, No, that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
But he looked like anybody there thought it would.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know, here's the thing. What's so funny about all
this is that President Trump and a lot of you
fought so hard to make this election happen. President Trump
almost got killed twice in trying to become president of
(17:34):
the United States. President Trump never quit when it came
to working hard, when it came to reaching out to
people who otherwise had never been reached out to by
the Republican Party. He worked so hard, had so many
people working with him, alongside of him, and even for him.
(17:56):
The idea that somehow President Trump was going to get
elect did president and just hand it over to Elon
Musk is ridiculous on its face, which is why I
don't think much of that rumor is really coming from
you in any way, shape or form. But all of
the other people who kind of things like this happen
(18:19):
that they don't understand because it's not part of the process.
It's not part of that little thing that goes on
Washington where only the elected people as well as the
news media shall talk in any way, shape or form
about bills. It's kind of like, yeah, I didn't hear
that on Sesame Street, by the way, when they did
the bills thing. So these people just don't understand real life.
(18:44):
And in real life, you have a guy like Donald Trump,
and he's got people around him who are individuals who
have powerful voices, aren't afraid to use them, and they
want to muscularly dance President Trump's policies and things like that.
It's but these other people all that stuff. It's kind
(19:07):
of like the dog staring into the Victrola cone. They
just have no idea about what real life is all about.
So for the goofballs, President Trump has to go back
to the chalkboard and kind of lay things out and say,
all right. And I think he's doing it for the
entertainment of an audience at turning point there Conservative conference
(19:29):
there for for their entertainment. Only he doesn't. He's not
teaching them or informing of anything they don't already know.
You know, that's not happening. But Elon's done an amazing job.
Is the nice smart people that we could rely on? Yeah,
I mean, and that's probably one of the greatest lines
(19:51):
because it's it's so deadpan but so true, and it's
kind of nice considering we have not had that experience
in full scale of late. He's like, isn't it nice
to have smart people around? Isn't it kind of refreshing?
Is it refreshing? The guy who know only owns X
(20:13):
but also has a spaceship company that's probably going to
go out and rescue some two astronauts who were trapped
at the International Space Station for longer than they wanted
to be and this is all done practically in their sleep.
Got a great job. And I'll tell you he landed
(20:33):
that rocket a few months ago. It landed. It's coming
down so fast, seventeen thousand miles an hour, he says.
And coming down, it looks like it's getting rid of and
then all of a sudden, the gets go on. It
blows it down well. And this is another thing that
I love about President Trump and his manner of speaking,
(20:55):
because he was amazed, like all of us. There are
so many people who took for granted a rocket landing
perpendicularly into a cylinder, which we had never seen before,
and for a lot of us simpletons. And I would
think of myself as being one of those, because I'm
(21:16):
kind of like just mesmerized by that whole thing. I'm
looking at that tape and I'm thinking that's the most
important story of the day, and the rest of the
media is like ho hum. And I think a lot
of that is because, like it is with Elon Musk,
that whole thing, that whole concept of kind of working
(21:39):
hard and being creative and taking chances and taking risks
and all those kinds of things, really is very foreign
to people who basically, and some elected officials are like this,
not all of them, and some members of the media
are like this. Not all of them. Basically have had
kind of things handed to them, whether it be justries
(22:00):
or what have you, or stock payoffs or way to
have you and so nothing. I mean, like a lot
of people in Washington never fill a gas tank and
hardly ever go to the grocery store and buy Hamburger.
They just don't do it. I would think that the
best question you could possibly ask some elected representatives is
(22:23):
how much is a pound of ground beef? That's all
I want to know. I don't want to know about
your insider trading or this bill or that bill. I
want to know if you know how much a pound
of ground beef will cost? Or what is it doesn't
eggs cost? What does a gallon of gas cost? What
(22:45):
does a toothbrush cost? I don't even know that. But
you know what I'm saying is that's the kind of
thing that that kind of basic stuff and the basic
way of communicating and knowing real life is why we
love President Trump's attitude and why I think a lot
(23:06):
of people gravitated towards him who otherwise maybe wouldn't have
gravitated towards a Republican. But when that Republican is Donald J. Trump,
you get the drift there. And he has smart people
around him. That's the important thing. Tom Holman is one
of them, and I'll bring that to you, especially in
the wake of what happened in New York on that subway,
(23:28):
that tragedy.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
This is your Morning show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
So the drones interesting in this country. It's kind of
funny because we get so excited about these stories, and
we get so excited about them for a period of time,
and then suddenly we don't hear anything else about them.
And I'm kind of happy about that to a certain degree,
(24:03):
because I was really worried about the drones and now
I don't know whatever happened to the drones. They're still there, apparently.
And at one point there was an individual, he was
the mayor of a New Jersey town and he was like, oh, yeah, no,
these drones they are flying in a grid pattern looking
(24:23):
for radioactive waste and maybe even a nuclear warhead. Said
another guy. I'm thinking, oh, well, that's that's not good.
I wish the government would get on this and the
fact of the matter is those drones might not have
been looking for radioactive waste, but now we know there's
some missing radioactive waste in New Jersey. So then there's
(24:45):
another problem altogether, like we have and we need to
have something more to worry about. And then President Trump
he got a briefing and he says, I got the briefing,
but I can't tell you what the briefing said, but
I will say that the government knows what these are
(25:06):
and what's going on, and they should tell people what's
going on. And I'm thinking, well, okay, then tell us
what's going on. What's going on, and nobody's saying anything,
and then we hear from may Orcus. It's kind of
like talking to a your twelve year old kids sometimes
and you're just trying to get a straight answer out
(25:27):
of them, and may Orcus is like, well, there are
thousands of drones that fly in the air every day,
and he gives us some primer on drone flying in
the United States of America, like he's reading a Wikipedia
page about drones flying in America, and so we're not
getting any answers, and then suddenly the story just disappears.
(25:50):
So it's no longer on the front page of Drudge.
There aren't people being interviewed about what they think it is.
And the I from New Jersey who talked about the
drones looking for some kind of radioactive materials said he
heard that from the government, and now we're not hearing
anything at all. So I'm really mystified by it, and
(26:14):
I'm hoping that in some way, shape or form, they
get the drone thing resolved, because there were people who
were going to shoot the drones out of the sky,
and then you're thinking, well, this isn't going to work
out very well because we're heading into Christmas time and
there's going to be something flying in the sky that
will be certainly identifiable, but you never know whether people
(26:36):
are going to freak out about it, mistaking Santa and
his sleigh for a drone, and there were the FAA
even put out a warning saying no more drones over
New Jersey. I'm like, okay, well you need to make
an exception and not confuse this one light that's going
(26:57):
to be up in the sky for ane and you
can't certainly find Santa Claus. It says, no no way.
The North Pole doesn't pay out. They pay out enough
during the Christmas season anyway, and so we're gonna have
to just make a delineation that Listen, anything with the
(27:18):
light on it with a tiny reindeer is not a drone.
And if you see some big guy with a beard
sitting in it, he's not sitting in a drone because
drones don't have passengers. So that's two identifiable marks that
Santa Claus and his sleigh not a drone. So you
(27:39):
have no excuses now. By the way, even if people tried,
I do believe they would fail to bring down Santa
and his sleigh because Santa is, after all magic. Because
if you can imagine what it takes for Santa to
complete what he completed, let me tell you something, it's
nothing short of incredible. I know because I have delineated
(28:04):
and written down the physics of Santa. I'm talking about.
If Santa we're not magic, what physical properties would have
to go into Santa pulling off this amazing feat on
Christmas Eve, Christmas night, Christmas morning. If he had to
(28:26):
abide by the physical properties of physics, he couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
