Speaker 3 (00:27):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in the stold.
This is your morning show with Michael o'deill Trump.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
You're on a roll today, aren't you feeling real funny?
Well till the layoffs arrives. Every said time to put
your phone in the bucket?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I might have played a few holes of golf during
that break. Yeah, but I won't admit it. Seven minutes
after the hour I this Friday, November the eighth, theval
Lood twenty twenty four, Thanks for waking up with your
morning show. I'm Michael Jeffreys at the controls. Red's over
there whispering into his little microphone from time to time.
The fed lord the interest rate by a quarter of
a point. President Elect made Susie Wilds as campaign manager,

(01:16):
the first ever female chief of staff. As you heard
John Decker say, not Barack Obama, not Joe Biden. Donald Trump,
just in case those that think he's afraid of strong,
intelligent women, the daughter of Pat Somemmerl, who really spearheaded.
And by the way, think about this, it's not easy

(01:39):
to keep Donald Donald Trump on track and in the
rails and not go too crazy. She orchestrated this unthinkable, improbable.
I compared it to I can think of only Shadreck
Meshack and a Bendigo that went through worse than Donald Trump.
She's certainly worthy and she certainly makes history. I think
after this campaign season, who cares about the Grammy Awards,

(02:01):
But the nominations will be unveiled. And the Ravens with
twenty one fourth quarter points, came back to win that
game last night. If you fell asleep thirty five thirty
four on Thursday night football, all right, real quickly, we
had a conversation off the air, Well, let me we've
got a couple of hang nails.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
One.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
We did get a talk back from KFYI. What I
was suggesting is that perhaps al Michaels and do you
believe in miracles? Yes, the nineteen eighty miracle US Olympic
hockey victory over the Soviets and Howard Cosell's down goes
Fraser maybe two of the most iconic calls of that century.

(02:40):
I did not think it was Al Michaels who said
down goes Fraser. That was clearly Howard Cosell. Maybe you
misheard why I brought up do you believe in miracles?
The other was unfinished business. On all these appointments, I
actually think, first of all, it's not lost on me

(03:01):
that most White House Press secretaries go on to do
talking head shows. Donald Trump's went on to be governor
of Arkansas, and I understand her father was governor of
Arkansas as well. But Sarah Huckabee Sanders went from being
White House Press secretary to a governorship. I think of

(03:23):
Tony snow who may have been and I think a
lot of people point to Tony Snow. ARII Fleischer was
also very very good, maybe one of the best press
secretaries ever, and he was a talk show host because
you don't need a notebook when you know this stuff.
I actually think I had an old GM we Ultimately
I learned a lot from and learned a lot of

(03:44):
things not to do from. But he used to talk
about concentrated force you're going to see and it gives
me pause. By the way, I do think this is
going to be a Donald different Donald Trump as president,
and I think this is going to be a much
different cabinet and it might even be one for the ages.
And that scares me because the last time I saw
a really strong cabinet, God was protecting us and preparing

(04:07):
us for war. But I would use concentrated for I
would actually go overboard on weiite House press secretaries because
I think a Donald Trump is going to go through
a just as violent of a leftist assault as president
as he did as a candidate. And you're going to
need somebody to win the courtroom of public opinion daily.
And it can't be somebody reading notes. I mean, we

(04:29):
talk about this, it can't possibly be. But imagine if
it was Elon Musk. Imagine if it was vivek Ramaswami.
Imagine if it was Laura Ingram or Meghan Kelly or
Tucker Carlson, you could really steer this country from that
press room, and you could really seriously answer the missile
attacks daily from the far left. If I had advice

(04:54):
to Donald Trump, I would go overboard crazy, overqualified to
be because I think the pulpit of the presidency and
the White House Secretary press room are going to be
the two biggest pulpits in America. If we're not only
going to fix things, but create a revolution and write

(05:15):
things for our time and for all time.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I don't think I'm crazy with that. Now. Elon probably
not possible.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Besides, he's going to be tasked to do the Charles
Groton job of going through and really answering all this overspending.
But a Megan Kelly or a bavek Ramaswami, boy, I
would celebrate that. As you know, we've got time to
fill because there is no Friday with forty five, but

(05:44):
there is a Friday Friday. Donn a lockdown to the
Jap's of all there's the power because it takes a
hour all the time. Mister President, good morning.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Well and that's mister. Is it an elect now to you?
You know, we had a tremendous victory, and we told
you that was going to happen, and we've been saying
that for quite some time. You know, we we won
a lot. We won three hundred and twelve electoral votes.
That's the same number of Big Maxie yesterday in celebration.
I can tell you that we had such a great time.

(06:20):
And I don't like telling people that I eat a lot.
We don't want people going to make his views with
Chris Christy, but we are very very happy about it
right now.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, I know your favorite Sean Hannity, but I don't
know what his prediction was. I said three twelves and
I hit the number right on the head.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Well, that's because you're a smart person, and that's why
we called it to your show. You know that we
are only talking to smart people. The first time we
were president, sometimes we had some stupid people like John Bolton,
he looks like you know, he's a crazy guy as
the must answer and a stupid mustad. And there are
so many other people that we had in the administration
who quit. Bragley was stupid people. But you're a smart

(06:59):
guy said three twelve. So I'm going to ask you this,
what the hell of the next lottery numbers? You know?
Because these lawfare, these cases, they got a lot of
my money. Could you imagine that scandal? By the way,
if I won the lottery, they's it's a trading when
you have crooked Dancy Pelosi her eyebrows and draw it
all over her face and she's making the greatest stock
train in the world has ever seen.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
But you did a great job.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Three twelve, three twelve, got it right, nailed it right
on the head.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Let's talk about a lot of people are kicking around
that you're a different Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
But why is there Donald Trump? This time?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
You're not going to trust people that have been in
office and that you're going to make the most of
this first one hundred days. You got by with a
lot of help from friends. Will those friends be a
part of this cabinet?

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well, we love Elon, you know that. We think he's tremendous.
We love Telsea Gabbert, she's obviously tremendous. And Bobby, we
love Bobby. You call them Bobby Kennedy. We love Bobby.
I call them Bobby. Nobody else likes to call them that,
but I call them Bobby, and if they call them
that is because I call him that. But he's a
great guy. We love Bobby and he's going to get

(08:03):
involved with the FDA. We're going to make America healthy again.
We're going to be so healthy. We're going to be
the healthiest country in the history of the world. And
it is really quite frankly tremendous when you look at
how many people came together Elon, Bobby Kelsey and so
many other people. You know, they came out, Tucker Carlson

(08:25):
and these great people that have come out and helped
us get across the finish line. We won like nobody
has ever won before, and we are so happy about it.
And now you have Jack Smith. He looks like his
chin threw up on him. You look at it. And
he's going to be resigning. He's going to be dropping
the cases. We are victorious once again, and we are

(08:48):
going to make our country great again once again.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
What an extraordinary year.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I mean, you had to get tied up in cord
to assassination attempts, daily character assassinations from the mainstream meeting,
all of which, along with Hollywood, has no credibility moving forward.
What has this ride been like for you personally.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Well, it's been a lot of ups and downs. You
know that it's been a lot of ups and downs,
and it has been just it has been a tremendous job.
We've done a tremendous job. But I was shot on
July thirteenth. You saw that. It was a terrible day,
by the way, but we were saved thanks to the

(09:30):
grace of God. Almost shot on the golf course too.
You saw that there was a guy. He was hanging
out in the bushes terrible and I wanted to you know,
I saw him. I wanted to take him out. I
wanted to hit him with my three wood. I could
hit it very nicely and very hard and very fast.
But the problem is he was hiding in the trees,
and I never hit shots into the trees. You know,

(09:50):
I hit the fair way every single time. I have
the greatest Nobody plays golf like I do, but we
have We do so well. I have to say that.
But it's been a lot of ups and down. But
now we're going up, up, up like a rocket ship,
and up up up like your ratings, like a lot
of people's ratings, but your ratings are going up faster
than probably anybody else, and we're just doing well. So

(10:12):
there's a lot of ups and downs, but now we're
going to be in it straight up the entire time,
straight up. Like Chris Christie's weight, he can't find a
way to get it down. Liza lost, you know, she
lost a few pairs. Chris Christie found them, and so
you have a lot of problems for him, but no
problems for us. We are going to do so well,
and our new administration is going to be the greatest

(10:33):
in American history.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Friday with forty five or as we say, forty seven
elect I think actually your secret service name ought to
be Deuce.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Well, we don't want to be deuce.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
You know that. We don't want to be deuced.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
You know, you have a president right now.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
We have a president right now who has a drupping deuces.
You know heard he pooped himself off into the sunset
right back to Vatican and he told the Pope, he said, hey, pop,
I could have done that right. He could have lost,
and he was going to lose, and he might have
lost a couple of other states. But Kamalo is terrible,
and you see her neck. It looks like a gizzard

(11:11):
a turkey. You know, it's Thanksgiving. I call it the
gizzard of us. And she really had a hard time.
I mean, she had a hard time, but she lost.
I won. And we don't want to be deuce. You
know that we don't want to be deuce. We are
you know, that's one of those things. We don't need
to be referred to that way. But we can be
number one, right, we could be number.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
One because we're always number one.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Nobody's better than we are. I can tell you that.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
What do you make of all these scare tactics? I mean,
are you going to turn the military against everybody that
voted against you? Are we never going to vote again?
What do you make of I mean, it seems like
the Democrats party is they went way too left and
they played the scare card, in the race card and
the gender card all way too much. Can you restore
sanity and leadership and Americanism and excellence in the midst

(11:59):
of all of the dysfunction?

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, we have a lot of people, these we call
them sick people. You saw what happened on the fake news.
You saw MSNBC having almost complete and total aut attack
on screen. Believe it or not, they were having a
hard time. Dana Bash was having a hard time. Dana.
We don't like Dana. You saw people Iamichi alsin there.

(12:25):
I call her the talking planet. You see what she
looks like. But she is horrible. And she was saying, oh,
they were everybody was so happy. Remember they were the
joy people. They were the joy people. And they're not
so they're not so joyful right now. You look at
Tim Walls, the worst and dumbest and stupidest vice presidential
pick in the history of the world, and he's having

(12:47):
a hard time too. And the jazz hands are not
so jazzy right now. But they said horrible things. They
said I was going to do horrible things. The only
thing I'm going to do is make our country fantastic.
We're not turning the military as people. We're going to
have great elections, secure elections, fair elections. And they're not
happy about it. They tried to play the race card,

(13:08):
the gendercard, they tried to play every card and they failed.
And now we have the House, the Senate, and the
presidency and we're going to have a tremendous administration. That
much I can say. But they are wrong about what
we plan to do, except I will be a dictator
on day one and we're going to drill, baby, drill.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Closing moments with Friday with forty five now forty seven,
elect who are you going to miss the most?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Out of all the characters that rose during this.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
I can tell you that we're going to miss Kamala right,
because the word salads see helped me clean up my diet.
I had so many salads. I have a big, beautiful
salad fork. It's a golden salad fork that we used
to eat them up. We're going to miss, of course,
David Muir. I caught him Manure, David Manure, right, we

(14:00):
talked about Deuce Stavid Manure. We're going to miss a
lot of these people. We're gonna miss uh temp On
Tim right. Uh. You know he was a happy guy.
He was a fun guy to watch. Uh. And of
course my favorite, Dougie Dorito's right, Dougie Dorito's. I heard
he took up beating from Kamala and I that she lost.
I heard it was terrible.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
How was that.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Heard that she was? I heard that she was hitting
a wine bottle so hard, and then she hit Dougie
doritos even harder. It was really bad. But Nicoll, you
know what she told me when she called. Here's what
she said. She said, sir, we are now going to
be unburdened by race, and uh, congratulations on winning. And

(14:43):
I wanted to congratulate you in a congratulatory fashion. And
I hope the congratulatory congratulations are congratulating you better than
anybody's ever been congratulated. I said, Kamala, if you don't
have to do that anymore, thank you, and you're fired.
That's what I said.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
We sent you there. You have it Friday with forty
five or is it forty seven? Elect?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
It's both, mister President, thank you so much for your
time and congratulations.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Thank you, God bless you pizza boy. And we are
going to have such a great country very very soon.
That much.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I gotta tell you, Kamala, the Gizzard of Oz he
liked the three wood, but he couldn't couldn't hit it
into the woods.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Only that's the pharaoh of that joke. Friday with forty
five is now Friday with forty seven. Elect. Hope you
enjoyed your top five stories of the day are next.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
This is your morning Show with Michael Del Trono.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Farage faur ashfarachemedia dot Com. He does do personalized calls
for people. I got this from Bill. It's kind of long,
but I think it makes a profound point. When a
couple becomes parents for the first time, each time a
baby cries, they pick it up, both to comfort it

(15:58):
and also to quiet the baby down for their personal piece.
Sometimes they cry not out of need, they're not hungry
or they need to be changed, but just because they
know they'll get attention. And that's where parents learn to
let a baby cry. It's hard at first, but finally effective.
Apply that to the left the wise parents are now
running the show and there's certainly a lot of crying.

(16:19):
I haven't had a chance to do it with all
of our sounds of the day, but we talked about
what has become of late night television and Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's all been ruined. It's become political.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Their meltdown and a montage will try to get in
before the end of the show.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hey, this is John Watson.

Jennifer Loss and the president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Very busy at this time, right.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Jennifer, indeed, indeed, indeed talk.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
To us about You're the president and CEO of Keep
America Beautiful, which should be all of our goal. How
did this organization begin? And boy, is this your window?

Speaker 7 (17:32):
So Keep America Beautiful started in nineteen fifty three as
an initiative of businesses who had seen the success of
a campaign to pick up litter along the new interstate
highway systems in California, and other organizations wanted to get
on board. Were most known for our iconic advertising for

(17:56):
Mother Nature.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
You know, litter is.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I can't even begin to imagine just opening a window
and throwing something out. People do it, and that's a
part of this. I kind of get this analogy, Jennifer,
and tell me if I'm on the right track. If
I know I'm going to have something big going on,
I want to spruce up my yard. I want to
make sure my deck looks good. I want to make
sure my lawn looks good, the garden looks good and

(18:22):
looks perfect. And that's great for people that are coming
to my house. But the part I can't control yet
we can, is all the houses they're passing on the
way to my house. So what good does it do
if I keep my house clean and everybody else doesn't
keep theirs up. This is the time for America for
somebody to lead the charge. We are entrusted with our land.

(18:42):
Let's clean it up, Let's get ready for our birthday,
and then let's keep it that way forever.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Isn't that really the premise.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Michael, That's exactly it.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
So here at Keep America Beautiful, we are here to
help people live into that vision. The country's going to turn.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Two hundred and fifty years old. Oh, it's a party
at the national level.

Speaker 7 (19:03):
So anyone gets ready for a party. So let's get
ready for that party. And so we're inviting Americans to
do a little more.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Absolutely, and I want to get into that the activation
of that because just Knowing this doesn't change anything. Knowing
this volunteering and being a part of it changes everything.
Let me ask you this, how are we doing? You know,
the organization started in the fifties. I've been on this
earth over fifty years. I wasn't alive in the fifties,
but I've been on this earth now sixty years, and

(19:33):
I can tell you that I have seen I've seen
it way nicer, I've seen it way worse. Where are
we and how we're keeping things up and keeping things beautiful?

Speaker 7 (19:44):
Michael, we might be just about the same age, and
I'll tell you we're making progress. That's the really good
news here is people are doing more and understanding more.
But we've still got a long way to go. There's
an estimated fit fifty billion pieces of litter still on
the ground across America on any given day, and so

(20:06):
as we think about what needs to be done, you know,
we've set a goal for this two hundred and fiftieth
birthday to ask Americans to help us pick up twenty
five billion half of all the litter that's out there.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
And it's not all.

Speaker 7 (20:19):
Individuals dropping things, right, it's also things that come off
of trucks and you know, things that are accidental, So
people don't always intentionally litter, but we all kind of
accidentally drop.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
Things, and so let's attentionally general.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Right, god's the sofa the other day.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I know it fell off on accident, but nobody wants
me to.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Have to get it. That's all right?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Are there are there certain problem areas? To me, there's
certain beaches that really need us all to take ownership
and correct things. There's any inner city areas where I
think it's more of a problem.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
But is there anything in general?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Because there are municipalities and counties that are a lot
more aggressive on this and then some that aren't, and
where they're not, it's up to us to rise up
and clean it up.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I think it's a multi stakeholder approach, right, So it's individuals,
it's the local government working with individuals and working with
state agencies to make sure that highway litter is cleaned up.
Exit ramps off of highways and major intersections are often
very problematic because people are sitting there idling in their vehicles, right,

(21:30):
and so there's more of a chance for litter to
end up outside of a vehicle.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
So you know, it takes a little bit of effort from.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
Everybody and a lot of consciousness from us as individuals
to kind of do your part if you can. Yes,
the government is in charge, but you also can help
it to not be a problem.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Jennifer Lawson is the president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful.
As we get America ready to celebrate it's two hundred
and fiftieth birthday. You know, I've tried to this and
all my kids. It worked with one, didn't work with two,
and that is you have a car, protect your investment,
keep it looking new. We all love our cars when
they're shiny and smell great. You know what, you can

(22:12):
keep them up. But there's something about all of us
taking ownership and all of us being a part of
this beautification that really enhances really how we feel about
where we live.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Right, that's absolutely right.

Speaker 7 (22:26):
There's study after study that shows that there's an economic
benefit and a health benefit to having cleaner, greener neighborhoods.
It can improve the air quality, reduce the heat impact
from those urban heat islands. And then I think, you know,
we've all been through a really tough time this season,

(22:47):
and we know from research.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
With the Harris Poles is that.

Speaker 7 (22:53):
Most Americans think that if we can get together and
focus on cleaning up our communities, that will build me unity, pride,
and rebuild some of that community.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
Connectedness that might be missing these days.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, let me see a little more bluntly, because I've
got listeners coming from a certain worldview and perspective. This
has nothing to do with the politicalization of global warming.
This has to do with our country, our neighborhoods, and
our pride and doing what's right and quite frankly, for
those of you of faith being a wise steward of
the land that has been entrusted to us, I hope

(23:26):
a lot of people are excited about turning two hundred
and fifty and the chance, the happenstance of us being
a part of such a celebration, and the amount of
work that needs to be done to make sure we
look great for our in time for our party. Tell
us how if this message is really striking a chord
with somebody, they can get involved.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Absolutely.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
So, There's kab dot org is the keep America Beautiful website.
There is a join us button rate on the front.
You can click that and pledged do something really important,
which is pledged to pick up two hundred and fifty
pieces of litter a year between now in July twenty
twenty six. If every American did that, we would.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Pick it all up, all of it. That's a really
empower empowering message.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
If you can't make it to the website, just do
the work. Pick up two hundred and fifty pieces a litter,
find a home for it. Concentrate on your recycling efforts,
your aluminum, your paper, and the one two threes on
that chasing arrow. If you can recycle that much, that's terrific.
And if you can plant some flowers or help others

(24:38):
in your community green up and clean up that space,
it'll make a difference not only in how you feel
about your community, but how your community will appear.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
As we get ready for that two hundred and fiftieth.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Birthday closing moments with Jennifer laws In, President CEO of
Keep America Beautiful kab dot org, let's see how I'm doing.
I don't think I'm gonna get a lot of credit
for this because I'm going to be removing a crape myrtle,
but I'm going to replace it with a Japanese maple,
So I get it checked there. I love what you're saying.
From this standpoint, we often, you know, want the whole
world to change. Well that I can't control that, I

(25:14):
can control me, and I can make a difference. And
if we all individually make a difference, we collectively make
the massive difference that we're wanting to think of. Everywhere
you're going to walk today, whether it's parking your car
to fill it with gas and then the walk inside,
what do you see on the ground? Do you pick
it up? There's one? I mean everywhere we go we

(25:34):
see this thing. Instead of walking by it, pick it up.
Meet your goal of two hundred and fifty, and guess
what you will have done all you could do to
keep America beautiful. And the more of us to do
it in the year Morning Show Family, the more thousands
of pounds are going to be picked up, and we'll
all be ready to be two hundred and fifty.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
I don't know what you can do about my waistliner
balding head, but we'll work on that for two sixty.
UI it. I really appreciate the vision, I hope, and
I'll say it more frankly, this is not we got
to stop making everything politics you know, I go through
this with energy. There is a way to be pro

(26:11):
energy and pro environment. We have the technology and the ability.
Now we've got to be sensied up about this. This
is not on us versus them. This is where we live.
Let's clean up our yard, let's collectively clean up what
we see along the way, and let's make America and
keep America beautiful all in time for our two hundred
and fiftieth birthday. I wish you nothing but blessings in
this effort. I'll do my part. You got two hundred

(26:32):
and fifty a Japanese mapol. What was the other thing
I have to do?

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Oh? I do recycle. So I'm good. I love it
all right.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'm a good, good little minion and soldier in this effort.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Thank you for all your work.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
We applaud it, Michael, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Journo.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Donald Trump made history. Susie Wilds has been named as
chief of staff. The very strong, intelligent woman that navigated
his campaign will be the chief of staff of his presidency.
The fed lord the rate of quarter point, We got
that one right and as it stands right now, and
I think it's headed to three twelve. Some have called Nevada,

(27:39):
some have none have called Arizona. And down goes Casey.
Make it plus four in the Senate for the Republicans.
Is it a green wave, a red wave? Or is
it an orange wave? Well, time will tell on that.
Understanding what has happened is one thing. Understanding what must
happen is still to be played out. If you fell asleep,
you missed a great race. Even's twenty one point fourth

(28:01):
quarter to win thirty five to thirty four over the Bengals.
All right, Rory always gets the final story. We'll get
to your weekend dive plug here shortly, but let's dive
into Decker.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yesterday. Wanted to talk.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
About twenty twenty eight names. You want to talk about
holiday shopping already, you know what, I'm kind of in
the mood for it.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Bring it on.

Speaker 6 (28:20):
Well, hey, look, if you haven't noticed, all the campaign
commercials had been replaced with Christmas and I know it right,
I mean, we just flipped the switch on it. The
Tanker Outlet CEO was on CNBC last night saying, hey, look,
our outlet malls are already decorated for the holidays. The
Christmas music is playing, Santa has a schedule, so they
are all in.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
And the National.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
Retail Federation says that holiday spending will be up a
maybe three percent ish keeping up with inflation, to just
shy of a trillion.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Dollars in spending for November and December. Well, two quick takes.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
One is we were expecting America to use debt and
still spend a lot at Christmas. But the outcome of
the do you think they spend more?

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Well interesting notes on that. There are some saying that
people want to buy now concern that tariffs may be
in place next year. We know that a lot of
corporations are saying, all right, what do we do when
we look at our manufacturing, Say China is going to
be subjected to tariffs. Well, can we move it to
Taiwan or can we move it to Malaysia or somewhere
else to avoid tarifs? Or do we upfront some of

(29:24):
the inventories buy it now. I'm concerned about taris that
could come in the year ahead, So a lot of
that discussion is happening now.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Of course, it's unsettled. It all depends on how it
falls for us. It starts with my mom October twenty third,
and then we go into my twin daughters on November.
There's a lot of birthdays that fall in November and
then involves gifts and dinners out, and.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Then you go right into the holiday season.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I will say this about my family, and I speak
for my children as well as my wife and myself.
We do spend, and I don't know that we're going
to spend any less. We spend differently. As kids get older,
you have fewer gifts that are more expensive than filling
the entire family where I kind of miss those days
with lots of things. But no, I embrace Christmas because

(30:10):
I love finding the manger in whatever hour we're living.
I love our traditions. I love Christmas music. I love
Christmas movies. I love what our family does every year,
from making cookies to going to service together on Christmas Eve.
I don't dread Christmas. And by the way, it doesn't
revolve around gifts and spending either for us. But we'll spend,
but it's not about that. And I love when I

(30:32):
walk into a store and it makes the transition. But
I'm one of the few people that I listen to
Christmas music during the middle of the year or too sometimes. Yeah, well,
Mariah Carey couldn't stay in the back. I know she's
never on my list. No, no, but I little Frank,
little Dino lit Lamy Grant.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I'm in all right.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
So we were expecting us to spend as usual, and
I suspect as usual and then some might be the
best cast.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
Right, Yeah, again, says about three percent more. So that
would be in line. You know, that was their prediction
a month ago. They just put out a statement yesterday
reinforcing that. So they're staying in line with about it's
about one thousand dollars per household, six hundred and fifty
bucks on gifts, two hundred and sixty dollars on the
decorations and the food and things like that.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Again rough estimates based on family sign I'm a big
fan of Rory.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
I've asked him to be a fill in when I
go on vacation. He's not interested, but he does do
The Weekend Dive heard on many high Heart stations and
of course on demand of the iHeart podcast section what's
up this weekend on the Dive?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Oh, I don't know what happened this week.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
No, but we're also there's a great podcast that looks
at gen z in the workplace and how they're struggling
to on board, especially now that we've seen so many
back to work requirements for businesses and these.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Young workers are going, well, how does this work? I
don't get it.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
So it's a fun podcasts get addition, of course, to
all the reviews of the presidential election.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
You'll find it all on the Weekend Dive with Roy
O'Neil googl it on your iHeartRadio app. Have a great week,
and I know it's been a long week. You deserve
go make some memories, all right, final say time. I
guess you'd call this a final kick in the shin.
We have done pretty good about not gloating and processing
everything because there's a lot to still happen. All you

(32:19):
have is the opportunity for it to happen so far,
But guys have all the twists and finger points. Tim
Walls did not even beat Donald Trump in his home
county of Minnesota. Where will that end up on the
list of things that we point to for Blue failures

(32:42):
in this amazing week and historic here, We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michaeldenhild Joo
