Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Enjoy the podcast one.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
the sty goolden. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Truman, and that is the golden tones of Mike mccannon.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
I grew up listening to him on w IQUKE in
New Orleans. Now he's just a part of your morning
show family. Seven minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking
up with us, if you're just waking up. President elect
Trump is reportedly expected to name Marco Rubio his Secretary
of State, who will be Secretary of Defense. Republicans officially
retain control of the House. They're at two nineteen to
(00:59):
two oh nine, and I think it probably comes in
around two twenty two, maybe even to twenty three, and
President Biden welcomes the Israeli president to the White House today.
These are some of the top stories as we're waking up.
One of the big promises Donald Trump made on the
campaign trail was that he could this war in Ukraine
would have never happened if he'd been president, and he'll
(01:21):
end it all before he even takes the oath of office.
Ken Trump and the Ukrainian Russian War before inauguration day?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Will he? How will he?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano boringly in the United States this week,
I'm ashamed, And to think I was praying for your
frequent flyer Miles.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm leaving today, so I don't feel terrible.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
You have been out of the cut.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Where are you heading next?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm going to Poland and then I'm going to Moldova.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So Moldova. I thought that was fictional in a movie.
That's real.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, No, it's a real place. Yeah. Actually I've been
there a couple of times. Sounds like you got a
little sniffle too for all your travels.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
All right, So what do you make of all this
news about Trump talked to Putin? Now the Kremlin's denying
the Putent talk to Trump. The lopping of all of
the drone warfare was that like a last little hit
from Ukraine knowing that they're gonna have to come to
the negotiation table, get us up to speed on what's happening.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Well, first of all, I have no idea if they talked,
And the second is after the president, nobody can negotiate
the behalf of the United States except the president of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Donald Trump will absolutely totally respect that.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
The last thing he wants to do is start an
administration another impeachment inquirment, so he can't end it before
he's president obviously, because he can't actually negotiate those kind
of things. We got to be clear. The only person
that can end the war in Ukraine is Putin. So
(02:54):
the question is is can Trump do something to get
Putin to stop? And the answer is, you know, I'm
not part of the transition team. I don't speak for
the candidate, but if Trump wants to put a deal
on the table, the people who support him, some of
who don't want to be in Ukraine, have to realize
that if you put a deal on the table and
(03:14):
they go, here's the deal, and if you don't take
the deal and walking away from Ukraine. Which option do
you think Vladimir Putin's going to take? Right, So abandoned
the Ukraine makes no sense. There is no scenario where
the United States it's better off if Russia is controlling
the Ukraine and if NATO falls apart. There's just there's
just not a scenario where that works for US. So
(03:35):
Trump would have to put something on the table that
has consequences significant enough for Putin that if Putin doesn't
take the deal, he would have to live with consequences
which are pretty unbearable.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's just this is just factually true.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
You can't negotiate with the Russians from a position of
weakness and ask their good graces and fairness and largesse
to cut me a solid.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Your buddy, this is not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Is this something you think Donald Trump gets A yeah,
because I want to just be candid that you've been
doing well. You've been serving your lieutenant colonel, You've been
in the military all your life. Frankly, as long as
I've almost been alive. We've been doing this on air
together for over two decades. If there's one thing that
(04:24):
surprised us by about Donald Trump when he became president,
was how well he got foreign policy and then used
his uniqueness to massage that and even be more effective
than we thought possible. In other words, all these nuances
you're talking about, we think he gets.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Actually, I will say I wasn't surprised that he was
good on foreign policy. I actually expected at having talked
with him in the campaign before twenty sixteen. Look, the
one thing that the close advisors, there are two, let's
be honest, they're close a vice president.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Hey, the base doesn't want this for.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Maybe that's true, but first of all, a lot of
people voted for Trump that weren't in the base.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They voted for Trump to do the right thing.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
The other thing I would say is the other thing
you would hear from close advisors is, dude, you do
not want to start your presidency with the next Afghanistan.
So for the United States to abandon Ukraine, now I'm
not saying, don't get the Europeans to do a lot more,
get the commitments for the Europeans, you know, but for
(05:34):
the US to say, Okay, we're out of here and
Ukraine collapses, that would be an appatross that would dog
Donald Trump just as seriously as Afghanistan dogged Joe Biden.
And you can't say, well, why would Trump carryes a
one term president on COUNTRP Here? This is an issues election, right,
(05:54):
A lot of people came over to vote for Donald
Trump on the issues. Those are not the Republicans don't
own those thoats, those are not there people.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I have stated this on numerous occasions. This was an
orange wave, not a red wave, so careful occasionally.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
They would own them.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
If Trump delivers on the issues, and if he and
if he turns out and has a disastrous.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Failure and they come out foreign policy, it's not gonna
be good.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
For Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us. So the question
is what does a Trump victory message wise send to
the trajectory of both Iran and its proxy wars with
Hamas and has Bala and Nuthi's and so on, as
well as Ukraine and Russia, And should they be looked
at together, because if you're gonna, you know, if you're
(06:38):
gonna give consequences to Russia, I can think of a
way you can create consequence for both them and Iran simultaneously.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Energy right, and that's gonna he's gonna do that regardless.
He's gonna flood the market with reliable, affordable, abundant energy.
That's just gonna happen, right, So that's that's baked in.
They do all matter with each other, and he's gonna
put the hammer on or on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We know that.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
That's just you could see that one in the cards, Rubio,
all the other guys coming in and everybody wants to
hammer it on. It's not what the with the narrative,
it's what the actual deal is. Look, we don't care.
I'm just being brillian. Ukraine gaze every inch of Ukrainian territory.
Does it actually meaningless to the Russians.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That the legal frontier is no more defensible than where
they are now?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Now, Yeah, unless it's a first step towards more and
putting together the old Russian Empire map.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Look, sovereignty is a definition.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Nobody's nobody's gonna ask or force the Ukrainians to relinquish
sovereignty of territory even if it's occupied by Russia.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That's not an option.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
But what a win for the United States is a
Ukraine that it's free, an independent can defend it itself.
That that's a win for US, and that's a deterrent
to the Russians and a message to the Chinese and
the Iranians that we're going to fall. The frontier of
NATO is more defensible today than it was during the
Cold War when I was in West Germany, more strategic depth.
There's one thousand miles more of front for the Russian
(08:03):
story about with some very capable of militaries in the north.
The Ukrainian military is very capable the Russians. It doesn't
matter if Ukraine's in NATO or not. This is kind
of a jokeissue because if there's a Ukraine military that
can defend itself, the Russians cannot invade NATO and drive.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
By Ukraine and just ignore it.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
You have a Polish military that's committed's on the front lines,
that's committed to rearming. You have a Romanian military that's
anchored on it the frontier. You have a better correlation
of forces. Are you know what we have versus what
they have than it was during the Cold War. We
were in better shape today than we were in nineteen
eighty nine when the When the Russians collapsed, soon the
Soviets collapse so I don't know what people are freaking
(08:40):
out about this. The answer is, get a deal if
you can't, because nobody wants to see any innocence. Ukraine die,
but conceive nothing to putin. That's just that's the deal,
all right.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
So you you know why that's all happening, because everybody's reacting,
not responding, reacting to narratives facts certainly not history or geopolitics.
Let me ask you one final question. You know, most
presidencies are defined. They're very rarely defined going in. In
other words, remember the big thing with George W. Bush
(09:15):
and Al Gore were locks, boxes and size security, and
they never really did solve so security, which they they
desperately need to. But and then of course it was
all reshaped on nine to eleven into war. What is
the chances you know, I'm gonna just come right out
and say it, and then you know this kind of
thing we would say.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Off the air, not on the air.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I'm watching the president and put together a very strong
I mean, starting with this chief of staff and then
moving forward, just a look in the process of a
dream team being put together for a cabinet.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Last time I saw that happen, it led to war.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You know, as I get like nervous, you know, God,
are you putting together a great cabinet because we're gonna
need it? What does the what are the chances of
this administration being shaped by foreign policy?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I guess is what I'm asking.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Well, always look, the reality is is the last four
presidents have all said I want to do things differently,
and you know, I'd like this, and they all wind
up dealing with Iran, Russian, and China. So Ron, Russian
and China are going to shape the future American foreign policy.
They're not going to stop being adversaries because they don't
want to. So yeah, how you respond to them, or
(10:20):
more importantly, how proactively you shape them is going to
be the best outcome, one of the best outcome.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
There.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Look two things obviously getting getting a really robust American
economy and getting control work that that's that is the
rule one.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Securing our border.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
On domestic side of foreign policy is setting a course
on how to appropriately deal with Iran, China, and Russia
to mitigate them as serious threats to the United States.
If you can set that set that agenda, which Trump
came very close to doing before he left.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Office, the first time.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Then then you will set a course for American presidents,
much in the way Eisenhower set a course for Americans
through the cold work.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's what we're looking for from Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Truno.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I was out in the backyard of the day talking
to bird and you know, I know you guys are chirping,
but the animals talk to me. And this bird was like,
you know, a great show yesterday. I said, well, thank you.
You know your show is the one the birds think
is for the people. And I said, would you please
stop pooping on our cars? He said that billy bluebird
doing that, not me. But anyway, make a long story short,
(11:26):
send a message. This is the morning show that the
birds say is for the people.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
And can't have this show without your voice. To the
talk pack, we go give me Jimmy and Acron listening
to how long.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Jimmy I live in Akron, Ohio.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
My thought when it comes to Trump and who's going
to take over after Trump, even though this is a
Trump presidency and Trump win more so than Republican Really,
when Trump leaves, all he's got to do is name
whoever he thinks will carry on his agenda, and I
believe Republicans will stand behind them. So really the next
(12:03):
election will also be a Trump election as well.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Well, Uh, there's obviously going to be a primary. Obviously,
the Vice President JD. Vance is going to be in
a good position. I believe Marco Rubio was really Donald
Trump's first choice for VEEP, but by making him Secretary
of State, that's going to put him in a very
good position. I think Telsey Gabbard will be in a
(12:30):
pretty decent position. Governor DeSantis is still going to be
a play in this, but I think it narrows the field,
and I do think association, assuming that the administration succeeds
with Donald Trump, is going to be a very valuable
asset and a distinguishing factor.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Saint louis next.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
With In regards to these mass deportations are going to happen,
Tom Hofsin is going to have to be presit and
surgical about it because the media is going to be
banking for Alian Munda as situation, and if that happened,
they're going to play it on Loop twenty four seven.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, there's no question, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Uh, but again, I'll remind everybody what don't forget what
this election election showed you. Look at how warfare played
out with Donald Trump didn't play out very well. Look
at how the daily attacks on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBCCBS,
the view morning shows, late night shows. Look how that
played out Saturday Night Live didn't play out very well. A.
(13:31):
They're out of touch with the American people. B, they're
woke too.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Far, and C.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
They don't have the audience or influence they once had. Now.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I think that's where he becomes the perfect choice. That's
why yesterday when we were doing this, I played the
clip of Thomas Homan because I wanted you to hear
AOC interrogating him and how he responded, unlike everybody else,
is this your name of it? Yeah, it's name on
the menu on the memo. Are you saying you're rather
(14:04):
it's one of three things. I authorize, zero tolerance this guy.
And by the way, he doesn't prepare for these meetings.
His entire life has been law and order in law enforcement.
That's when I looked at this situation because I know
what they're going to be up against, and I said,
(14:24):
this is the right guy to do it, and obviously
Donald Trump's serious about doing it.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I'm not as worried.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I understand that it's the play is coming and they
would love an Alien Gonzales moment.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But this guy is up to it. So it's Donald Trump.
Shay baaby rry baby.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Isn't that enjoying listening to your radio program?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yay?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Oh that's it got She had no comment, just oh,
okay to say, thanks for listening. Well, keep those talkbacks
coming on your iHeartRadio app. You'll see the microphone and
it'll count you down and you can ask a question,
make a comment. We can't have your warning show without
your voice. Also, Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com is
the email address.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So right.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
President elect Trump reportedly expected to name Florida Senator Marco
Rubio as a Secretary of State. That is the top
story developing today. Republicans have officially retained control of the House.
We predicted to twenty two because I remember I made
the reference to Room two twenty two, which is a
reference that most people in the audience have no idea
what I'm talking about, and that clearly shows my age.
(15:29):
But the reality is there are two hundred and nineteen
to two oh nine. There are outstanding races still to
come in. I think they get another three, and I've
been in a pretty good role. But even at two
nineteen they retained control. They lost that Senate seat in Arizona.
It's official. So the Republicans end up plus four fifty
three to forty seven is their lead in the United
(15:50):
States Senate. And even if you factor in Murkowski and
Collins and then also the Vice President Jade Vance, it
really does give them a plus two, so control of
both chambers of the Legislature at a clear mandate to
take control of the administration in the White House. Donald
Trump winning with three twelve, things look really good for
the Republicans.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm Keith Andrews in Mobile, Alabama, and my morning show
is Your Morning Show with Michael del jarna.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Your Morning Show has heard live from five to eight
am Central, six to nine am Eastern, three to six
am Pacific on great radio stations like News Radio eleven
ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty
k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one oh four seven
at Washington, d C. We'd love to have you join
us live in the morning, even take us along on
the drive to work. But better late than never. Enjoy
(16:44):
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
The independent voting block is what's growing. And by the way,
that doesn't mean that you know that the right necessarily
has gone too far. I think it probably does mean
the left has gone too far. In some cases, the
right is entrusted bease because not their platform, but they
don't live what they believe.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
That's what ran me out of the Republican Party.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I would go to Lincoln dinners and Reagan dinners, and
I would talk about the essence of who these people were,
and nobody wanted to hear it. And so I watched
the Republican Party become Republican in name only and begin
to not even acknowledge, let alone fail to be, what
their platform states they are. Remember, and this is not
(17:29):
just politics, This is real life. This is in all
of our personal lives. Every time you come to a
challenge or you're assessing a failure in life did.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I not know what to do or did I not
do what I know?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
You will find that ninety plus percent of the time
you fail in life because you don't do what you know,
not because you didn't know what to do. In fact,
in the game of talk radio, it's rarely that we
don't know the truth. I've often stated it this way.
It was back to my mom when I was a
little kid. A guy would you know, Hey, did you
(18:04):
see Jimmy's mom. Jimmy's dad moved down, And my mom
would always say, a man never leaves home. A man
will cheat and stay home, but a man never leaves
home unless he's found someone else. Okay, that could be
paranoid Italian mom. But now sixty years later, I can
tell you we never, ever as human beings, abandon something
(18:28):
without replacing it. It's a lie when you think we do.
If you abandon your families because you replaced him with something,
If you abandon absolute truth and God and traditional values
or sense of God, country, family, you've replaced it with something.
(18:48):
So the door was opened with moral relativism and the
abandonment of absolute truth. That's how the cultural war affected
our society, our neighborhoods, and our country as a whole.
Because you didn't just abandon God in his way and
his truth in his life. You replaced it, and you
replaced it with moral relativism and new tolerance. Now you
(19:12):
have an anything goes mentality. That's how you can get
to well, clearly, I was born a male. You can
see my chromosomes zip er sound effect, and you can
see my parts. But I say I'm a woman or
I say I'm a dog. All right, I can say
I'm a woman today and a boy tomorrow, and you can't.
Not only can you, not only are you required to
(19:34):
tolerate that. Now you're getting beyond what the Bible tells
you and beyond what your founding fathers told you. Now
you have to not only accept it, you have to
validate it. That's why I loved making Kelly's tie.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Rate so much.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
You were never about women's rights. You're about man hating
an abortion. And until you get that through your thick
beep in head, you're gonna keep losing, which is another
way of saying you've gone too far. But abandoning absolute
truth replacing it with moral relativism opened the door. You
added that the accelerant of social media and the social
dilemma us versus them, dividing matrix of reality and death
(20:13):
of journalism, and we're in a real pickle. And Donald
Trump hasn't solved that yet. America hasn't come to grips
with the problem of US versus them. Just got an
email moments ago about someone by someone who said, man,
that clip you just played, that's scary. Yeah, and they're
even gonna wear blue bracelets. Now you're waking up to
(20:36):
what I said, careful, you're playing a very dangerous game.
And what's left of this death of journalism, what's left
of the George Soros and John Podesta and far left apparatus.
They would love for you to go into civil war
and you don't want to go there. If you thought
the first one was bad, this one gets really ugly
(20:59):
and people led into a capitol building and then a
stage insurrection. We're talking about a real civil war. And
I have said America is in a cold civil war
right now. Cold wars can be bad enough, but when
they break out into all out war, that's a different
story that has not been solved. That's why I kept
(21:20):
saying throughout this campaign, the death of journalism. That is
not a victory for the right. That is a defeat
to our republic. The matrix we find ourselves in, these
are problems bigger than the problems we're trying to solve,
and if we move forward with a mandate presidential election
(21:42):
with half the country wearing blue bracelets, we're still not
in a good place.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
United. We stand, divided, we fall. We're still divided.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
But you have had some awaken There are things to
be encouraged about. I do think woke is on a
slide to death. Journalism has already died, and with it
their ratings and their influence and their power to manipulate. Remember,
the key to winning the twenty twenty election was and
this is them telling you we controlled the narrative through
(22:14):
the media. You can't do that anymore. Twitter's now exit,
it's owned by Elon Musk. You can't do that anymore.
Nobody four years later is watching ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC or Fox for news.
They've turned to social media and they've turned to podcasts.
You can't do it. You can't control the narrative and
(22:37):
you can't silence opposing views.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
But you haven't addressed yet.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
This illness that Elon Musk gets, this woke disease which
he doesn't quite get yet, is abandonment from God. What
I would call self evident truth versus new tolerance, which
(23:04):
is a weapon that hasn't been solved yet. Now to
answer your question, because he's saying that I'm your cue,
they lost first and foremost because of no energy for
their candidate. I think abandoning the party in the primary
process with a bait and switch kind of like how
they took their donation money and gave it to celebrities.
This is all very damaging to the relationship with the
(23:26):
Democrat Party and its constituents. That's a vulnerability moving forward.
But they lost first and foremost by low turnout, secondly
by lost vote. And to answer your question, and I
would make the distinction, they didn't vote Republican. They voted
Donald Trump. But sixteen percent of Black voters supported Trump.
That's up from eight so he doubled his black support.
(23:47):
Can't give you an exact number, but that's a black bait.
Look Donald Barack Obama with ninety seven percent of the
black vote. Joe Biden won with ninety one percent of
the black vote. Kamala Harrison only carried three eighty three percent.
So how many people voted Republican that were Democrat? A
lot of blacks and we saw that coming same with Hispanics.
(24:09):
Democrats lost ground with Latino voters with fifty six percent
voting for Harris, you think, oh, they got the majority
of Latinos.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's bad.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Sixty three percent was what Biden carried and Trump took
it from thirty five to forty two percent. We talked
about the epicenter. Of the epicenter was really black men.
Trump won support from twenty four percent of black men
versus nine percent of black women. That was the racial
gender gap, and I don't know how they restore that.
(24:41):
And the border issue led to that loss of a
voter block. A couple of stats that we did earlier.
By the way, shameless plug for the podcast. If you
didn't hear my ripping a part of the hospital that's
trying to kill my mother, you need to listen to
that first hour of the podcast. But we also this
in the first hour. Joy Read's ratings down fifty four
(25:02):
point six percent at MSNBC, Chris Hayes down forty seven
point two percent, Morning Joe down thirty nine point six percent,
Andrew Mitchell down thirty nine point seven percent, Stephanie Ruhle
down sixty seven percent, Alex Wagner down fifty three percent.
This is what should happen when media loses its credibility.
People should go away. They might rebound, and they may not.
(25:24):
What is the future of CNN and MSNBC or the
Washington Post or Axios or anybody else that played games
throughout this election campaign and creating a narrative that simply
wasn't real. You would think with no credibility, they don't
have much of a future. They shouldn't have had one
going into this election. Let's see how much they have.
The other was the amount of money. And this is really,
(25:47):
you know, of all the things we could talk about,
this is the cherry on the whip cream that they
gave Joe Biden their votes throughout a primary process, and
the party took them, removed him and gave him to
Kamala without talking. You stole our votes and gave him
to Kamal and then she lost. That's a lot of
repair needed there. But this is even worse. People in
(26:07):
the general election process who gave their hard earned money
to the party for the purposes of people on the ground, commercials,
what have you. And she turned around and paid Beyonce
ten million dollars to support her and then she didn't
even sing five million to Megan the Stallion three million
(26:30):
to Lizzo. Lizzo, how's Lizo worth three times as much
as Oprah? And you know I can't stomach Oprah one
point eight million to Eminem Eminem? Is anybody listening to
Eminem anymore? I mean, imagine how out of touch you
are to think the Hollywood elite. I mean, that's one
of the great takeaways. We may have to thank Kamala
(26:52):
for not just wokeness too far and maybe the beginning
of the real death of wokeness. But how about the
death of celebrity worship, celebrity involvement in policy and government.
Time will tell, but it doesn't look good for it,
that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Delchno.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Well, the big developing story of the day, Donald Trump
reportedly expected to name Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary
of State. Meanwhile, Republicans retained control of the House. Officially,
they're in a two eighteen to two ZHO nine with
some outstanding races, many still thinking it'll get to two
twenty or two twenty two. And Republicans with that retainment
(27:36):
kind of complete. Roy O'Neil is joining us or you're
a Morning Show correspondent kind of complete the scoreboard. The
Senate seat is decided in Arizona, so it ends up
fifty three forty seven Republicans plus four Trump of course
one with three twelve, and now the retention at two
nineteen of the Republican party of the House of Representatives.
That's a lot of developments, it is, you know, if
(27:58):
you run through the whole house, Matt, let's assume we
get to two twenty two to two thirteen for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
But Donald Trump has just plucked two.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Of those Republicans out of the House to have him
join his administration. So now we're down to two twenty
to two thirteen, and a lot of speculation that since
Rubio becomes Secretary of State, another Republican member of the House.
I'm looking at you, Byron Donalds needs to be replaced,
so that brings him down to two nineteen to two thirteen.
And you know what that's like hurting cats up there,
(28:29):
So that could be difficult to manage.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
A majority of a slim the majority like that.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Well, a right, So whenever you're looking at these appointments,
the first thing that you have to look at is, Okay,
what state are they from and who is their governor?
And because that would you know, obtain some of the
Senate appointment. So I think the Senate they got the
plus four, which is important with Jade Vansher really plus five,
but you got to back out Collins and Murkowski, so
he got wiggle room of two. And you have governors
that will handle those replaces. But the House, you're right
(28:54):
to point out, they're gonna need to twenty two two
twenty three if they keep going after certain House members
for these positions like Stefanig. So that'll be very interesting
because that would be what an open election for the
House seat right right, So they have.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
To have special elections, you know, Tim, I keep saying
Tim Walls, Michael Waltz, the Florida Central Florida congressman being
tapped to be the National Security Advisor. That's a pretty
safe red district, so that even if there's a special election,
though that may not happen until May. So now you're like,
oh gosh, we just went through the first five months
with no one there and missing that empty seat, and
(29:28):
then you'll have to see how the Democratic governor of
New York wants to schedule things.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I think what's fascinating, and you're kind of joining this
conversation already in progress.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
But I love your insights.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Marco Ruby, for example, you know, I felt like Donald
Trump wanted Marco Rubio. I think Donald Trump Junior talked
his father into JD. Van's Okay, I actually believe that,
but never never mind that. The main point is if
he taps Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, and if
Donald Trump and his administration do everything and achieve, you know,
(30:00):
fixing the border and the economy, in other words, as
successful four year presidency, then we immediately go into the
next the handoff and the patam. I think Jade Vance's
vice president is in the top spot. But this puts
Marco Rubio leapfrogged well over DeSantis. We can even discuss
the future of desantish and then Telsea Gabbard. Even this
would put him in really good stead to be on
(30:22):
that ticket or in an open primary, maybe even top
the ticket.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Up certainly would put him up there in that He's
even joked before though about his.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh how do I put this his hair?
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, it's it's it's you know, he's fighting a battle there.
And he's even said like, I've only got a couple
more years to run, because as soon as I lose
my hair.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'm out.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Well, we all know the big loser of this, of course,
is Kamala Harris. Nobody can see a path for to
have any political future. We think it's over. I actually
think it's a foregone conclusion. It's Wes Moore and Josh
Shapiro from Pennsylvania. But this is a big This is
a big loss for Nicki Haley. Her future seems uncertain.
And for Ronda Santis. I think now he starts looking
at that Senate seat, I think.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Possibly, But you know, does he want to be back
in d C Is one of the questions. The wife
may not want to go. Three young kids. He doesn't
really have any money. I mean, and I'm saying that
we're not passing a hat for him, but he never
had a big career somewhere. Well, he never had a
big career somewhere to make a lot of money, So
there is you know, he doesn't own his own home
at all, so it's yeah, he's got to find something
(31:29):
that makes money.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
So I wouldn't be surprised if he goes away for
a couple of years.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And well his background was military and then military service
in the law in the Jacket.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Corps, and then he went to Congress and then he
became governors and yeah, so and his wife worked in
TV news.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So nobody in Jacksonville. No money there, no money there,
we know, all.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Right, So what do you make of I mean, I
think out of everything this this is embarrassing, all right.
So never mind how they ignored their constituents and voters
and took all those primary votes for Joe Biden and
just gave him to Kamala Harris and then they lost.
Now you find out Kamala paid Beyonce money and Meghan
(32:07):
the Stallion and Lizzo.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
And Eminem that's got it.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
And we gave money for you to go and win,
and you were giving it to celebrities with fake for
a fake endorsement relationship.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
This is really Is this going to be a legal
problematic thing for them as well?
Speaker 6 (32:22):
I don't think so. I mean, the laws are written
pretty broadly. They it's certainly embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Could this be the end of celebrity government involvement?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Not a good look. And yeah, that would be encouraging,
I hope.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
So.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Uh, And you know the fate of wokeness. Time will tell.
But yeah, the Republicans, it's official. They have control of
the House, but they're going to need a few more
seats if they keep appointing members of the House of
Representatives to keep it safe.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Great reporting, We're talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Penhild Joe and No
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Enjoy the podcast one.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
the sty goolden. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Truman, and that is the golden tones of Mike mccannon.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
I grew up listening to him on w IQUKE in
New Orleans. Now he's just a part of your morning
show family. Seven minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking
up with us, if you're just waking up. President elect
Trump is reportedly expected to name Marco Rubio his Secretary
of State, who will be Secretary of Defense. Republicans officially
retain control of the House. They're at two nineteen to
(00:59):
two oh nine, and I think it probably comes in
around two twenty two, maybe even to twenty three, and
President Biden welcomes the Israeli president to the White House today.
These are some of the top stories as we're waking up.
One of the big promises Donald Trump made on the
campaign trail was that he could this war in Ukraine
would have never happened if he'd been president, and he'll
(01:21):
end it all before he even takes the oath of office.
Ken Trump and the Ukrainian Russian War before inauguration day?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Will he? How will he?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano boringly in the United States this week,
I'm ashamed, And to think I was praying for your
frequent flyer Miles.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm leaving today, so I don't feel terrible.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
You have been out of the cut.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Where are you heading next?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm going to Poland and then I'm going to Moldova.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So Moldova. I thought that was fictional in a movie.
That's real.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, No, it's a real place. Yeah. Actually I've been
there a couple of times. Sounds like you got a
little sniffle too for all your travels.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
All right, So what do you make of all this
news about Trump talked to Putin? Now the Kremlin's denying
the Putent talk to Trump. The lopping of all of
the drone warfare was that like a last little hit
from Ukraine knowing that they're gonna have to come to
the negotiation table, get us up to speed on what's happening.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Well, first of all, I have no idea if they talked,
And the second is after the president, nobody can negotiate
the behalf of the United States except the president of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Donald Trump will absolutely totally respect that.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
The last thing he wants to do is start an
administration another impeachment inquirment, so he can't end it before
he's president obviously, because he can't actually negotiate those kind
of things. We got to be clear. The only person
that can end the war in Ukraine is Putin. So
(02:54):
the question is is can Trump do something to get
Putin to stop? And the answer is, you know, I'm
not part of the transition team. I don't speak for
the candidate, but if Trump wants to put a deal
on the table, the people who support him, some of
who don't want to be in Ukraine, have to realize
that if you put a deal on the table and
(03:14):
they go, here's the deal, and if you don't take
the deal and walking away from Ukraine. Which option do
you think Vladimir Putin's going to take? Right, So abandoned
the Ukraine makes no sense. There is no scenario where
the United States it's better off if Russia is controlling
the Ukraine and if NATO falls apart. There's just there's
just not a scenario where that works for US. So
(03:35):
Trump would have to put something on the table that
has consequences significant enough for Putin that if Putin doesn't
take the deal, he would have to live with consequences
which are pretty unbearable.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's just this is just factually true.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
You can't negotiate with the Russians from a position of
weakness and ask their good graces and fairness and largesse
to cut me a solid.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Your buddy, this is not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Is this something you think Donald Trump gets A yeah,
because I want to just be candid that you've been
doing well. You've been serving your lieutenant colonel, You've been
in the military all your life. Frankly, as long as
I've almost been alive. We've been doing this on air
together for over two decades. If there's one thing that
(04:24):
surprised us by about Donald Trump when he became president,
was how well he got foreign policy and then used
his uniqueness to massage that and even be more effective
than we thought possible. In other words, all these nuances
you're talking about, we think he gets.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Actually, I will say I wasn't surprised that he was
good on foreign policy. I actually expected at having talked
with him in the campaign before twenty sixteen. Look, the
one thing that the close advisors, there are two, let's
be honest, they're close a vice president.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Hey, the base doesn't want this for.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Maybe that's true, but first of all, a lot of
people voted for Trump that weren't in the base.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They voted for Trump to do the right thing.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
The other thing I would say is the other thing
you would hear from close advisors is, dude, you do
not want to start your presidency with the next Afghanistan.
So for the United States to abandon Ukraine, now I'm
not saying, don't get the Europeans to do a lot more,
get the commitments for the Europeans, you know, but for
(05:34):
the US to say, Okay, we're out of here and
Ukraine collapses, that would be an appatross that would dog
Donald Trump just as seriously as Afghanistan dogged Joe Biden.
And you can't say, well, why would Trump carryes a
one term president on COUNTRP Here? This is an issues election, right,
(05:54):
A lot of people came over to vote for Donald
Trump on the issues. Those are not the Republicans don't
own those thoats, those are not there people.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I have stated this on numerous occasions. This was an
orange wave, not a red wave, so careful occasionally.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
They would own them.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
If Trump delivers on the issues, and if he and
if he turns out and has a disastrous.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Failure and they come out foreign policy, it's not gonna
be good.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
For Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us. So the question
is what does a Trump victory message wise send to
the trajectory of both Iran and its proxy wars with
Hamas and has Bala and Nuthi's and so on, as
well as Ukraine and Russia, And should they be looked
at together, because if you're gonna, you know, if you're
(06:38):
gonna give consequences to Russia, I can think of a
way you can create consequence for both them and Iran simultaneously.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Energy right, and that's gonna he's gonna do that regardless.
He's gonna flood the market with reliable, affordable, abundant energy.
That's just gonna happen, right, So that's that's baked in.
They do all matter with each other, and he's gonna
put the hammer on or on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We know that.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
That's just you could see that one in the cards, Rubio,
all the other guys coming in and everybody wants to
hammer it on. It's not what the with the narrative,
it's what the actual deal is. Look, we don't care.
I'm just being brillian. Ukraine gaze every inch of Ukrainian territory.
Does it actually meaningless to the Russians.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That the legal frontier is no more defensible than where
they are now?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Now, Yeah, unless it's a first step towards more and
putting together the old Russian Empire map.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Look, sovereignty is a definition.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Nobody's nobody's gonna ask or force the Ukrainians to relinquish
sovereignty of territory even if it's occupied by Russia.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That's not an option.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
But what a win for the United States is a
Ukraine that it's free, an independent can defend it itself.
That that's a win for US, and that's a deterrent
to the Russians and a message to the Chinese and
the Iranians that we're going to fall. The frontier of
NATO is more defensible today than it was during the
Cold War when I was in West Germany, more strategic depth.
There's one thousand miles more of front for the Russian
(08:03):
story about with some very capable of militaries in the north.
The Ukrainian military is very capable the Russians. It doesn't
matter if Ukraine's in NATO or not. This is kind
of a jokeissue because if there's a Ukraine military that
can defend itself, the Russians cannot invade NATO and drive.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
By Ukraine and just ignore it.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
You have a Polish military that's committed's on the front lines,
that's committed to rearming. You have a Romanian military that's
anchored on it the frontier. You have a better correlation
of forces. Are you know what we have versus what
they have than it was during the Cold War. We
were in better shape today than we were in nineteen
eighty nine when the When the Russians collapsed, soon the
Soviets collapse so I don't know what people are freaking
(08:40):
out about this. The answer is, get a deal if
you can't, because nobody wants to see any innocence. Ukraine die,
but conceive nothing to putin. That's just that's the deal,
all right.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
So you you know why that's all happening, because everybody's reacting,
not responding, reacting to narratives facts certainly not history or geopolitics.
Let me ask you one final question. You know, most
presidencies are defined. They're very rarely defined going in. In
other words, remember the big thing with George W. Bush
(09:15):
and Al Gore were locks, boxes and size security, and
they never really did solve so security, which they they
desperately need to. But and then of course it was
all reshaped on nine to eleven into war. What is
the chances you know, I'm gonna just come right out
and say it, and then you know this kind of
thing we would say.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Off the air, not on the air.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I'm watching the president and put together a very strong
I mean, starting with this chief of staff and then
moving forward, just a look in the process of a
dream team being put together for a cabinet.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Last time I saw that happen, it led to war.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You know, as I get like nervous, you know, God,
are you putting together a great cabinet because we're gonna
need it? What does the what are the chances of
this administration being shaped by foreign policy?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I guess is what I'm asking.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Well, always look, the reality is is the last four
presidents have all said I want to do things differently,
and you know, I'd like this, and they all wind
up dealing with Iran, Russian, and China. So Ron, Russian
and China are going to shape the future American foreign policy.
They're not going to stop being adversaries because they don't
want to. So yeah, how you respond to them, or
(10:20):
more importantly, how proactively you shape them is going to
be the best outcome, one of the best outcome.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
There.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Look two things obviously getting getting a really robust American
economy and getting control work that that's that is the
rule one.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Securing our border.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
On domestic side of foreign policy is setting a course
on how to appropriately deal with Iran, China, and Russia
to mitigate them as serious threats to the United States.
If you can set that set that agenda, which Trump
came very close to doing before he left.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Office, the first time.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Then then you will set a course for American presidents,
much in the way Eisenhower set a course for Americans
through the cold work.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That's what we're looking for from Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Truno.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I was out in the backyard of the day talking
to bird and you know, I know you guys are chirping,
but the animals talk to me. And this bird was like,
you know, a great show yesterday. I said, well, thank you.
You know your show is the one the birds think
is for the people. And I said, would you please
stop pooping on our cars? He said that billy bluebird
doing that, not me. But anyway, make a long story short,
(11:26):
send a message. This is the morning show that the
birds say is for the people.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
And can't have this show without your voice. To the
talk pack, we go give me Jimmy and Acron listening
to how long.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Jimmy I live in Akron, Ohio.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
My thought when it comes to Trump and who's going
to take over after Trump, even though this is a
Trump presidency and Trump win more so than Republican Really,
when Trump leaves, all he's got to do is name
whoever he thinks will carry on his agenda, and I
believe Republicans will stand behind them. So really the next
(12:03):
election will also be a Trump election as well.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Well, Uh, there's obviously going to be a primary. Obviously,
the Vice President JD. Vance is going to be in
a good position. I believe Marco Rubio was really Donald
Trump's first choice for VEEP, but by making him Secretary
of State, that's going to put him in a very
good position. I think Telsey Gabbard will be in a
(12:30):
pretty decent position. Governor DeSantis is still going to be
a play in this, but I think it narrows the field,
and I do think association, assuming that the administration succeeds
with Donald Trump, is going to be a very valuable
asset and a distinguishing factor.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Saint louis next.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
With In regards to these mass deportations are going to happen,
Tom Hofsin is going to have to be presit and
surgical about it because the media is going to be
banking for Alian Munda as situation, and if that happened,
they're going to play it on Loop twenty four seven.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, there's no question, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Uh, but again, I'll remind everybody what don't forget what
this election election showed you. Look at how warfare played
out with Donald Trump didn't play out very well. Look
at how the daily attacks on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBCCBS,
the view morning shows, late night shows. Look how that
played out Saturday Night Live didn't play out very well. A.
(13:31):
They're out of touch with the American people. B, they're
woke too.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Far, and C.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
They don't have the audience or influence they once had. Now.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I think that's where he becomes the perfect choice. That's
why yesterday when we were doing this, I played the
clip of Thomas Homan because I wanted you to hear
AOC interrogating him and how he responded, unlike everybody else,
is this your name of it? Yeah, it's name on
the menu on the memo. Are you saying you're rather
(14:04):
it's one of three things. I authorize, zero tolerance this guy.
And by the way, he doesn't prepare for these meetings.
His entire life has been law and order in law enforcement.
That's when I looked at this situation because I know
what they're going to be up against, and I said,
(14:24):
this is the right guy to do it, and obviously
Donald Trump's serious about doing it.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I'm not as worried.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I understand that it's the play is coming and they
would love an Alien Gonzales moment.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But this guy is up to it. So it's Donald Trump.
Shay baaby rry baby.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Isn't that enjoying listening to your radio program?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yay?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Oh that's it got She had no comment, just oh,
okay to say, thanks for listening. Well, keep those talkbacks
coming on your iHeartRadio app. You'll see the microphone and
it'll count you down and you can ask a question,
make a comment. We can't have your warning show without
your voice. Also, Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com is
the email address.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So right.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
President elect Trump reportedly expected to name Florida Senator Marco
Rubio as a Secretary of State. That is the top
story developing today. Republicans have officially retained control of the House.
We predicted to twenty two because I remember I made
the reference to Room two twenty two, which is a
reference that most people in the audience have no idea
what I'm talking about, and that clearly shows my age.
(15:29):
But the reality is there are two hundred and nineteen
to two oh nine. There are outstanding races still to
come in. I think they get another three, and I've
been in a pretty good role. But even at two
nineteen they retained control. They lost that Senate seat in Arizona.
It's official. So the Republicans end up plus four fifty
three to forty seven is their lead in the United
(15:50):
States Senate. And even if you factor in Murkowski and
Collins and then also the Vice President Jade Vance, it
really does give them a plus two, so control of
both chambers of the Legislature at a clear mandate to
take control of the administration in the White House. Donald
Trump winning with three twelve, things look really good for
the Republicans.

(16:44):
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
The independent voting block is what's growing. And by the way,
that doesn't mean that you know that the right necessarily
has gone too far. I think it probably does mean
the left has gone too far. In some cases, the
right is entrusted bease because not their platform, but they
don't live what they believe.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
That's what ran me out of the Republican Party.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I would go to Lincoln dinners and Reagan dinners, and
I would talk about the essence of who these people were,
and nobody wanted to hear it. And so I watched
the Republican Party become Republican in name only and begin
to not even acknowledge, let alone fail to be, what
their platform states they are. Remember, and this is not
(17:29):
just politics, This is real life. This is in all
of our personal lives. Every time you come to a
challenge or you're assessing a failure in life did.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I not know what to do or did I not
do what I know?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
You will find that ninety plus percent of the time
you fail in life because you don't do what you know,
not because you didn't know what to do. In fact,
in the game of talk radio, it's rarely that we
don't know the truth. I've often stated it this way.
It was back to my mom when I was a
little kid. A guy would you know, Hey, did you
(18:04):
see Jimmy's mom. Jimmy's dad moved down, And my mom
would always say, a man never leaves home. A man
will cheat and stay home, but a man never leaves
home unless he's found someone else. Okay, that could be
paranoid Italian mom. But now sixty years later, I can
tell you we never, ever as human beings, abandon something
(18:28):
without replacing it. It's a lie when you think we do.
If you abandon your families because you replaced him with something,
If you abandon absolute truth and God and traditional values
or sense of God, country, family, you've replaced it with something.
(18:48):
So the door was opened with moral relativism and the
abandonment of absolute truth. That's how the cultural war affected
our society, our neighborhoods, and our country as a whole.
Because you didn't just abandon God in his way and
his truth in his life. You replaced it, and you
replaced it with moral relativism and new tolerance. Now you
(19:12):
have an anything goes mentality. That's how you can get
to well, clearly, I was born a male. You can
see my chromosomes zip er sound effect, and you can
see my parts. But I say I'm a woman or
I say I'm a dog. All right, I can say
I'm a woman today and a boy tomorrow, and you can't.
Not only can you, not only are you required to
(19:34):
tolerate that. Now you're getting beyond what the Bible tells
you and beyond what your founding fathers told you. Now
you have to not only accept it, you have to
validate it. That's why I loved making Kelly's tie.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Rate so much.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
You were never about women's rights. You're about man hating
an abortion. And until you get that through your thick
beep in head, you're gonna keep losing, which is another
way of saying you've gone too far. But abandoning absolute
truth replacing it with moral relativism opened the door. You
added that the accelerant of social media and the social
dilemma us versus them, dividing matrix of reality and death
(20:13):
of journalism, and we're in a real pickle. And Donald
Trump hasn't solved that yet. America hasn't come to grips
with the problem of US versus them. Just got an
email moments ago about someone by someone who said, man,
that clip you just played, that's scary. Yeah, and they're
even gonna wear blue bracelets. Now you're waking up to
(20:36):
what I said, careful, you're playing a very dangerous game.
And what's left of this death of journalism, what's left
of the George Soros and John Podesta and far left apparatus.
They would love for you to go into civil war
and you don't want to go there. If you thought
the first one was bad, this one gets really ugly
(20:59):
and people led into a capitol building and then a
stage insurrection. We're talking about a real civil war. And
I have said America is in a cold civil war
right now. Cold wars can be bad enough, but when
they break out into all out war, that's a different
story that has not been solved. That's why I kept
(21:20):
saying throughout this campaign, the death of journalism. That is
not a victory for the right. That is a defeat
to our republic. The matrix we find ourselves in, these
are problems bigger than the problems we're trying to solve,
and if we move forward with a mandate presidential election
(21:42):
with half the country wearing blue bracelets, we're still not
in a good place.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
United. We stand, divided, we fall. We're still divided.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
But you have had some awaken There are things to
be encouraged about. I do think woke is on a
slide to death. Journalism has already died, and with it
their ratings and their influence and their power to manipulate. Remember,
the key to winning the twenty twenty election was and
this is them telling you we controlled the narrative through
(22:14):
the media. You can't do that anymore. Twitter's now exit,
it's owned by Elon Musk. You can't do that anymore.
Nobody four years later is watching ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC or Fox for news.
They've turned to social media and they've turned to podcasts.
You can't do it. You can't control the narrative and
(22:37):
you can't silence opposing views.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
But you haven't addressed yet.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
This illness that Elon Musk gets, this woke disease which
he doesn't quite get yet, is abandonment from God. What
I would call self evident truth versus new tolerance, which
(23:04):
is a weapon that hasn't been solved yet. Now to
answer your question, because he's saying that I'm your cue,
they lost first and foremost because of no energy for
their candidate. I think abandoning the party in the primary
process with a bait and switch kind of like how
they took their donation money and gave it to celebrities.
This is all very damaging to the relationship with the
(23:26):
Democrat Party and its constituents. That's a vulnerability moving forward.
But they lost first and foremost by low turnout, secondly
by lost vote. And to answer your question, and I
would make the distinction, they didn't vote Republican. They voted
Donald Trump. But sixteen percent of Black voters supported Trump.
That's up from eight so he doubled his black support.
(23:47):
Can't give you an exact number, but that's a black bait.
Look Donald Barack Obama with ninety seven percent of the
black vote. Joe Biden won with ninety one percent of
the black vote. Kamala Harrison only carried three eighty three percent.
So how many people voted Republican that were Democrat? A
lot of blacks and we saw that coming same with Hispanics.
(24:09):
Democrats lost ground with Latino voters with fifty six percent
voting for Harris, you think, oh, they got the majority
of Latinos.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's bad.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Sixty three percent was what Biden carried and Trump took
it from thirty five to forty two percent. We talked
about the epicenter. Of the epicenter was really black men.
Trump won support from twenty four percent of black men
versus nine percent of black women. That was the racial
gender gap, and I don't know how they restore that.
(24:41):
And the border issue led to that loss of a
voter block. A couple of stats that we did earlier.
By the way, shameless plug for the podcast. If you
didn't hear my ripping a part of the hospital that's
trying to kill my mother, you need to listen to
that first hour of the podcast. But we also this
in the first hour. Joy Read's ratings down fifty four
(25:02):
point six percent at MSNBC, Chris Hayes down forty seven
point two percent, Morning Joe down thirty nine point six percent,
Andrew Mitchell down thirty nine point seven percent, Stephanie Ruhle
down sixty seven percent, Alex Wagner down fifty three percent.
This is what should happen when media loses its credibility.
People should go away. They might rebound, and they may not.
(25:24):
What is the future of CNN and MSNBC or the
Washington Post or Axios or anybody else that played games
throughout this election campaign and creating a narrative that simply
wasn't real. You would think with no credibility, they don't
have much of a future. They shouldn't have had one
going into this election. Let's see how much they have.
The other was the amount of money. And this is really,
(25:47):
you know, of all the things we could talk about,
this is the cherry on the whip cream that they
gave Joe Biden their votes throughout a primary process, and
the party took them, removed him and gave him to
Kamala without talking. You stole our votes and gave him
to Kamal and then she lost. That's a lot of
repair needed there. But this is even worse. People in
(26:07):
the general election process who gave their hard earned money
to the party for the purposes of people on the ground, commercials,
what have you. And she turned around and paid Beyonce
ten million dollars to support her and then she didn't
even sing five million to Megan the Stallion three million
(26:30):
to Lizzo. Lizzo, how's Lizo worth three times as much
as Oprah? And you know I can't stomach Oprah one
point eight million to Eminem Eminem? Is anybody listening to
Eminem anymore? I mean, imagine how out of touch you
are to think the Hollywood elite. I mean, that's one
of the great takeaways. We may have to thank Kamala
(26:52):
for not just wokeness too far and maybe the beginning
of the real death of wokeness. But how about the
death of celebrity worship, celebrity involvement in policy and government.
Time will tell, but it doesn't look good for it,
that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Delchno.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Well, the big developing story of the day, Donald Trump
reportedly expected to name Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary
of State. Meanwhile, Republicans retained control of the House. Officially,
they're in a two eighteen to two ZHO nine with
some outstanding races, many still thinking it'll get to two
twenty or two twenty two. And Republicans with that retainment
(27:36):
kind of complete. Roy O'Neil is joining us or you're
a Morning Show correspondent kind of complete the scoreboard. The
Senate seat is decided in Arizona, so it ends up
fifty three forty seven Republicans plus four Trump of course
one with three twelve, and now the retention at two
nineteen of the Republican party of the House of Representatives.
That's a lot of developments, it is, you know, if
(27:58):
you run through the whole house, Matt, let's assume we
get to two twenty two to two thirteen for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
But Donald Trump has just plucked two.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Of those Republicans out of the House to have him
join his administration. So now we're down to two twenty
to two thirteen, and a lot of speculation that since
Rubio becomes Secretary of State, another Republican member of the House.
I'm looking at you, Byron Donalds needs to be replaced,
so that brings him down to two nineteen to two thirteen.
And you know what that's like hurting cats up there,
(28:29):
So that could be difficult to manage.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
A majority of a slim the majority like that.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Well, a right, So whenever you're looking at these appointments,
the first thing that you have to look at is, Okay,
what state are they from and who is their governor?
And because that would you know, obtain some of the
Senate appointment. So I think the Senate they got the
plus four, which is important with Jade Vansher really plus five,
but you got to back out Collins and Murkowski, so
he got wiggle room of two. And you have governors
that will handle those replaces. But the House, you're right
(28:54):
to point out, they're gonna need to twenty two two
twenty three if they keep going after certain House members
for these positions like Stefanig. So that'll be very interesting
because that would be what an open election for the
House seat right right, So they have.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
To have special elections, you know, Tim, I keep saying
Tim Walls, Michael Waltz, the Florida Central Florida congressman being
tapped to be the National Security Advisor. That's a pretty
safe red district, so that even if there's a special election,
though that may not happen until May. So now you're like,
oh gosh, we just went through the first five months
with no one there and missing that empty seat, and
(29:28):
then you'll have to see how the Democratic governor of
New York wants to schedule things.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I think what's fascinating, and you're kind of joining this
conversation already in progress.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
But I love your insights.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Marco Ruby, for example, you know, I felt like Donald
Trump wanted Marco Rubio. I think Donald Trump Junior talked
his father into JD. Van's Okay, I actually believe that,
but never never mind that. The main point is if
he taps Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, and if
Donald Trump and his administration do everything and achieve, you know,
(30:00):
fixing the border and the economy, in other words, as
successful four year presidency, then we immediately go into the
next the handoff and the patam. I think Jade Vance's
vice president is in the top spot. But this puts
Marco Rubio leapfrogged well over DeSantis. We can even discuss
the future of desantish and then Telsea Gabbard. Even this
would put him in really good stead to be on
(30:22):
that ticket or in an open primary, maybe even top
the ticket.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Up certainly would put him up there in that He's
even joked before though about his.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh how do I put this his hair?
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, it's it's it's you know, he's fighting a battle there.
And he's even said like, I've only got a couple
more years to run, because as soon as I lose
my hair.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'm out.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Well, we all know the big loser of this, of course,
is Kamala Harris. Nobody can see a path for to
have any political future. We think it's over. I actually
think it's a foregone conclusion. It's Wes Moore and Josh
Shapiro from Pennsylvania. But this is a big This is
a big loss for Nicki Haley. Her future seems uncertain.
And for Ronda Santis. I think now he starts looking
at that Senate seat, I think.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Possibly, But you know, does he want to be back
in d C Is one of the questions. The wife
may not want to go. Three young kids. He doesn't
really have any money. I mean, and I'm saying that
we're not passing a hat for him, but he never
had a big career somewhere. Well, he never had a
big career somewhere to make a lot of money, So
there is you know, he doesn't own his own home
at all, so it's yeah, he's got to find something
(31:29):
that makes money.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
So I wouldn't be surprised if he goes away for
a couple of years.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And well his background was military and then military service
in the law in the Jacket.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Corps, and then he went to Congress and then he
became governors and yeah, so and his wife worked in
TV news.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So nobody in Jacksonville. No money there, no money there,
we know, all.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Right, So what do you make of I mean, I
think out of everything this this is embarrassing, all right.
So never mind how they ignored their constituents and voters
and took all those primary votes for Joe Biden and
just gave him to Kamala Harris and then they lost.
Now you find out Kamala paid Beyonce money and Meghan
(32:07):
the Stallion and Lizzo.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
And Eminem that's got it.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
And we gave money for you to go and win,
and you were giving it to celebrities with fake for
a fake endorsement relationship.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
This is really Is this going to be a legal
problematic thing for them as well?
Speaker 6 (32:22):
I don't think so. I mean, the laws are written
pretty broadly. They it's certainly embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Could this be the end of celebrity government involvement?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Not a good look. And yeah, that would be encouraging,
I hope.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
So.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Uh, And you know the fate of wokeness. Time will tell.
But yeah, the Republicans, it's official. They have control of
the House, but they're going to need a few more
seats if they keep appointing members of the House of
Representatives to keep it safe.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Great reporting, We're talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
