Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k FYI in Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine, but we're
always grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast oh two
(00:23):
three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael deil Chorna.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Seven minutes after the hour, Thanks for waking up with
your morning show. I'm Michael del Jornaan. Of all the
moments of this morning, I'm so glad you're here now
and don't move. Understanding these election results is everything to
have a glimpse of the future. Why did the Democrats lose?
Was it the under thirty vote? Was it the under
fifty thousand dollars year vot? Was it the no college
(01:01):
degree vote? As we played the long clip earlier, with
Steve Kornaki from NBC under thirty free Trump, which I
thought was brilliant because Donald Trump has been a part
now of three election cycles. There's a cough button, but
not a sneeze button. I know under thirty. Prior to
(01:25):
Donald Trump, the Democrats had a twenty three point advantage.
It was down to eleven this election. Income under fifty
thousand dollars, they had a twenty two point advantage. Prior
to Donald Trump. It was Trump plus three. This time,
no college degree was a four point advantage for the Democrats.
It's now a fourteen point advantage for Republicans. Then you
(01:48):
get into the racial makeup. This is fascinating. So remember
Barack Obama ninety seven percent of the black vote prior
to Donald Trump, eighty seven point lead for the Democrats
down to a seventy two point lead. Remember we don't
have swing states, we have swing cities. So for the
influence of Philadelphia or Milwaukee or Atlanta, these are huge numbers.
(02:14):
If the black vote remains only a seventy point advantage
for Democrats, they got a problem, not just this election,
but elections to come. Here's what's breathtaking. Hispanic Latino vote
Prior to Donald Trump, they had a forty four point advantage.
This election just plus six down thirty eight. Asian vote
(02:35):
was plus forty seven. Now it's just plus four fifteen
down thirty two. How do Democrats lose this? Why are
these numbers like this? Is this a Republican revolution or
is this an Orange wave and a Donald Trump phenomenon
that may not exist in four years? That's an important question.
And how much of these losses are turnout issues? Turnout
(03:00):
issues that can be resolved with enthusiasm four years from now.
For stuff like this, we turn to people to know
what they're talking about, from my voters, from the public square,
from American Policy Roundtable, and our senior contributor David Sonati
joins us, what are you making of all these numbers
in post mortem?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, good morning, Michael. What happened was a big deal.
It was not a fluke. That's what's really important. And
as you're pointing out the numbers, you go back to
about every way you can split out the votes, and
fewer people showed up for Harrison showed up for Biden.
And I think it's important to note that Donald Trump
gained votes in the three times he ran his numbers
(03:39):
want to hire and hire and hire from sixteen to
twenty to twenty four. So you can't deny that there's
a trend. Now, we can draw a million conclusions from it,
but I think the point is it can all go
away in four years if they do a bad job.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So forgive me for jumping right to the bottom line quickly.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
But if they don't do their job, and they don't
prove to people that with the majority in the House
and the Senate they can make some progress. They're not
going to make all progress because you've got to get
the sixty votes in the Senate to get anything passed
to have a chance to vote on it. There's going
to be tremendous resistance in the Senate from the Democrats.
(04:18):
But one thing for certain is if they were to
take on the immigration problem and solve it from working
both ends, get the most extreme cases resolved, and then
move to the most let's say humane cases, and solve
those work from both sides into the middle, and create
a significant solution for the immigration question, the numbers that
(04:40):
they're gaining will continue to grow.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That would be the worst nightmare for the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Right. Two things to note one. What you're saying is
no matter what what's left of the media, with little
ratings and even less influence, they're going to be waging war.
One of my listeners said two days ago, they're waiting
for an alien guns, alien Gonzalez moment. They're going to
wage war. But if they continue to do it sensibly,
(05:06):
in other words, don't go too far to porting everybody,
but but secure the stop the bleeding, secure the nation,
deport the dangerous people, and stay reasonable that these American
people will see through that and appreciate it, and that
kind of value will will remain. That's the point you're making, right, not.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Bring them also see who's you know, they'll also see
who's trying to stop it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That really bad guys. Yeah, David and I have a
long history, and I tend to I tend to see
my adversaries with respect because usually the John Podesta's, that
George Soros's, the people that are really calling the shots. Uh,
they tend to be a step ahead just when you
(05:53):
think you got them. So I keep waiting for a
shoe to fall. They got something up their sleeve, you know,
come come timed to certify this vote. Maybe they've got
something up their sleeve in terms of public unrest. Maybe
they got something up their sleeve. Maybe once he takes
the oath of office they got some other sleeve. And
it may just be that they don't and that there's
(06:15):
no way having no control in the House, lost control
in the Senate, and lost a presidency, which we have
made the main point today. Look at the administ administration
he's putting together. It couldn't be more different than the
Biden administration. That has to be more than they wanted.
But they're going to come back in four years. How
do you know? All So, assuming Donald Trump does achieve
(06:38):
everything that he's achieving in America, starts feeling good about everything,
and then you get Trump gone, that would make the
big question, how much of all of this we're talking
about is a Donald Trump phenomenon versus a Republican inheritance.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, I think I could maybe try to approach that
from him, excuse me, from a number of ways. One is,
this was not a popularity contest. Our good friend doctor
Allen may have coined a phrase that will stick around
for a while when he said that this was not
a vote, it was a verdict. The people that came
forward to vote. Were basically saying, not only we've fed
(07:16):
up with the way things are going, we want them
to go in another direction.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
We want it now.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So the burden of proof is now in the doing,
and so that makes the Democrats very vulnerable. The smartest
thing they could do would be to go away for
four years and hope the other guys fail, because if
they get caught with their foot on the resistance pedal
to the fact where the ideas that are being presented
by the Trump administration are workable, they are real solutions,
(07:42):
and they get caught as the party of No.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
That may make them feel good.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
They may have a four years of protest, but it's
going to be very difficult for them to win another
election if they continue in the attitude that.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
They're in their stock. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Closing moments with the senior contributor, David Sanati, Right, let
me give it to you this way. You know, throughout campaign,
whenever we would see and I kept trying to make
this point, whenever you would see showing up third or
fourth on the list, you know, was saving democracy, And
I would say, don't assume that it's third or fourth
(08:15):
on the list because of the left's narrative that could
be the right responding they're going to far with all
this democracy nonsense and we're a republic, and it would
just show up as one of the main things this
election is about. We did the same thing with global warming.
Global warming can pop up fourth or fifth, but that's
only in one side believing we're all going to die
(08:37):
if we don't, you know, conform to these green new deals,
or the right saying you're crazy being anti energy and
all this crazy new deal stuff. So you don't have
enough information in that spirit. When you see Black vote
down eighty seven to seventy two, Hispanic vote down forty
four to six, and Asian forty seven to fifteen, that
isn't necessarily a conversion to that party. That number could
(09:00):
dwindle like that from people not turning out, not having
energy for that party or a candidate Kamala Harris and
not turning out, and then have a much different feeling
when it's wes More four years from now.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Right, it most certainly will.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
And the thing about the voter turnout numbers is that
it would have been predictable that there should have been
fewer votes for both of these candidates, but there were
not truly. We did accomplish more, and it was all
on one side. That's pretty exposing and pretty unusual, and
that's where you get from a vote to a verdict.
But again, the circumstances can change, so it'll be the
(09:36):
same jury by and large in four years that it'll
be a very different case.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Final thing, somebody's got to say it, we used to
do this after the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. That
was either really poor planning, really poor execution of the
plan on the day of the event, or worse worse
meaning I don't have an explanation for that bad of planning.
I don't have an explanation for letting seven shots get
(10:01):
off Aftery's hopping around on the roof for a minute
in twenty seconds, or worse, and everybody knows what I'm
talking about. You could also take a look at this
on a chart election cycle after election cycle, and you
will notice the Democrats always in, you know, never higher
than seventy million, and then all of a sudden, there's
that one anomaly of eighty million, and then right back
(10:22):
down to seventy million. You know, it could be or
worse shenanigans four years ago. So that's what makes this
turnout thing kind of hard to follow. What is real,
what isn't or I'll say it nicely, the mail in
vote influence or the vote harvesting influence, or the shadow
campaign influence. So we've got a lot of process. How
important is it to process all this in order to
(10:42):
get a clear view of what it looks like in
what's coming in four years? And let's face it, it's
not four years. It starts in probably ten days.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well, I think the reality is the country is no
less divided than it was.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
It's just that the numbers are in sway.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Talking about numbers swaying across the entirety of one hundred
and fifty five plus million votes three million, four million
votes one way or the other. This is still a
very divided country. But it still is capable of going
one way or the other. That's the big deal that
the American public has not lost its mind in such
(11:21):
an extraordinary partisan fashion that they paid no attention to results.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
So now it's up to doing the job. Now.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
The challenge is Trump and every president always over promises
because it's really Congress that's got to make it happen.
So this is going to be that kind of strong leadership,
and Congress has got a chance to make an impact.
They still don't have sixty votes in the Senate, so
let's not kid ourselves. Maybe they get half of what
they're going for, but half is a lot better than nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
David Donati is always great to have you join us.
Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
President Biden will host. President elect Trump might the only
one that thinks Trumps' walk in and go honey, I'm home.
Milania will be there. More on that with our White
House correspondent John Decker. In minutes, Trump says billionaire Elon
Musk and former presidential candidate that Vek Ramaswami will have
the new Department of Government Efficiency. And President elect Trump
has nominated Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to be his ambassador
(12:19):
to Israel. We're kicking around replacements for his national talk show,
HOSS that's originated from Nashville. I guess that would be
either Ryan c. Crest or Michael Strahan. Of course, Kate
have your morning show without your voice. Let's start with
James and Okac listening on k t okay.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Why did the Democrats lose because God said they would.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
He certainly wasn't shocked. Dwight in Nashville listening on WLAC.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Hey, Michael, I won't thank you for everything that you do,
for every word that you speak of honesty to help
us have an informed decision. Man, you are one of
the most real people on the radio, and just approve
that sneezing on the radio just shows how real you are.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Love your show man, Thank you. That actually is just
me being a immature smart ale. Like all my life,
they've when you walk into radio studio, there's a big
cough button. Yeah, And I said, what if I got
a sneeze or you know, I would usually at a
more immature age bring up other bodily functions, and so
I don't know. All my life, I've just I've sneezed
over the air rather than use the cough button. I've
(13:28):
asked David Snatty to stay just for one more segment.
And this came up earlier, David, when we were talking
about and I don't have anything against Christy Nome at all.
I don't think she should have shared how she shoots
the puppies in her book. And I may have cost
they're the VP position, but I don't know Homeland security.
I mean Telsea Gabbard screens homeland security. But it is
(13:51):
a one hundred and eighty degree different cab that he's
putting together, and it's a stellar one. We now know
where Vivek and Elon are serving. We don't know oh
yet RFK and Tulca Gabbard. We still have FBI, Department
of Justice, and Secretary of State open, though we believe
Marco Rubio is Secretary of State. And the rumors are
flying that Laura Trump may move into that Senate seat.
(14:16):
I guess that would I would love r FK Junior.
I know, I know we want him to fix our
food and vaccinations, but I would love him to return
to his father's position at the Justice Department. But I
guess Tulca Gabbard for that or FBI, But I don't
There's going to be a place for her, you know it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh, there certainly will be. And she may yet become
a special advisor to the president. I mean, he has
other options.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
He's already named a national security advisor, right yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Mean, I mean, and so there's I'm looking how many
ways John Podesta has been in the White House. Well, yeah,
it's still where the president lives, so he's got some space.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Do you remember when we were in school, if you misbehaved,
they had the little coat cubbies and that's where they
would put my desk so I didn't enter tain the class,
and then I would decorate it a pictures of my dad.
Maybe we give we should give, give, give a pedestic,
a coke, you know, coke in a corner to go
sit it. Let him over here.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, he'll be lonesome, but but he won't he won't
fail to be busy. I do find it fascinating that
he's out of the country right now, negotiating away our
climate position, which has been his avenue of taking huge
amounts of money from the Inflation Reduction Act and giving
it to friends.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'm looking at the clockway, I'm looking at the clock
that is never my friend. Is there a way you
can come on tomorrow? That I actually I had that
in my head as the story of the day. You know,
he just got beat. This goes back to what I say.
Trust me, they are not lost at what their next
play is. He's overseas already leading the trying to turn
the world against America. Uh and of course completely out
(15:52):
of the country after such an enormous defeat. But you
wonder what their next play. We should probably come back
and do that story alone. So you do expect RFK, Talsey,
and Marco to be three big announcements coming.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
They're all going to have a big piece. But I
think Justice Department is huge. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
What names come to your mind?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I don't have one yet.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, I am the lawyer part of r FK is
more than qualified for that position. But we need him
to fix our food and we need him to look
into the the COVID and vaccination issues.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I'm Lenny McGill, McGill's world famous block store and my
morning show is Your Morning Show with Michael Bell Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Sport Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, d C and five point fifty k
f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine or take us along on
the drive to work, But as we always say, better
late than never, enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
The presidential Election.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I have a speaking event tonight in Berlin talking about
the presidential.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Election, but I wanted to give you a phone.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Call because of that meeting that's happening in a few
hours between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Because I was
in the Oval Office eight years ago in the aftermath
of the twenty sixteen presidential election when Donald Trump met
with President Barack Obama, and so there are a lot
of memories that come back to me, a lot of similarities,
(17:31):
a lot of differences. However, as it relates to this
upcoming meeting that will take place in a few hours.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Let me ask it to you this way, so for
all of us, you know, we're just thinking, oh my gosh,
how awkward. I mean, the last time these two people
were together, it was a debate that was the undoing
of Joe Biden. I thought President elect Trump was somewhat
compassionate in it. And the only real quote that you
have is I don't know what he said, and quite frankly,
(17:56):
I don't think he knows what he said. But it's awkward.
Do you know when you compete in the public and
you speak ill of your opponent and then you have
to have this meeting. How awkward is now? In the
case of Obama, Obama was just like not taking him serious.
This guy's not going to be president. But this one,
this was contentious. And we see it in Milanya's refusal
(18:19):
to have tea with doctor Jill because of the things
she said about her husband and because of what they
did in the underwear drawers. So it's already awkward. How
awkward is it because you've been around it, Well.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
They're awkward meetings, sometimes sometimes not.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
You know. I think that the dynamics are so interesting
with this meeting because of course, Joe Biden beat Donald
Trump in twenty twenty, and yet it is Donald Trump
that is succeeding Joe Biden. That is a dynamic that
is one that this country has not seen all that much.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
No to the second time.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yeah, and so that I think makes it unique as
it relates to Barack Obama. When he met with Donald Trump,
that was the first and only time they've ever met.
And when we were in the Oval Office at the
beginning of the meeting, pleasantries, respectfulness. Donald Trump was deferential
to the President of the United States. But when we left,
(19:13):
I've learned from someone who was in the room. The
niceties went away, and that's the reason why a meeting
that was supposed to last about an hour ended up
lasting two hours, because there were some raised voices during
the course of that meeting that took place back in
the days after the twenty sixteen presidential election.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Well, you unfortunately lived this inside the Beltway, but I
can tell you, like when you look at the Senate,
that's the one and it could be changing. There was
a story today about how we're down to just three
split party states. That's how the divided country is really becoming.
Even in the Senate chamber solid red or solid blue.
But when you get around them, you find out, well,
(19:56):
it's more of a club of one hundred than it
is Republican versus Democrats. And the House you have some
very outspoken rogue people, but by and large they're just
all thrilled to be there and the system sucks them in.
But these presidential can campaigns, they get pretty heated, and
I think, you know, you can tell the ones that
are real and the ones that aren't. And then there's
always surprising, you know. I think eisenhowerver is very surprised
(20:19):
that it wasn't Dick and the Jack Kennedy this young
senators walking around the White House, but they kind of
put it aside for the sake of the nation. Is
this just the meet and greet or is this the
one where you kind of brief them on where things
lead or you know, are headed and things that they
need to know.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Well, one of the reasons why Malania is not doing
the strip is because part of that visit typically is
a visit in which the current first Lady tells the
future first Lady where everything's located. Milania has lived in
that house.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I SHO don't get that need to go through all
of that, So.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Yeah, I can understand why, you know, she's skipping it.
As for the current president and the future president, it's important,
you know, for the peaceful transfer of power to make
certain that Donald Trump and Joe Biden understand the trouble
spots in the world, where the US economy stands, Where
(21:12):
Joe Biden thinks the trouble spots are, maybe it aligns
with where Donald Trump thinks the trouble spots are. And
they'll certainly talk about those two ongoing wars, the one
in the Middle East and the one in Ukraine going forward,
and so it's an important meeting. I think it's ends
an important message to the world. Certainly, it sends an
(21:33):
important message to the places like where I am right
now in Berlin, Germany, that we do have a peaceful
transfer of power in the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And you know what else, I hope both of them
know the moment of history they're a part of. It's
only happened one other time. You know, it is a
strange circumstance. I was joking it probably wouldn't go over big,
but if Donald Trump walked in and said, honey, I'm home,
that would be a nice touch. But this is very strange.
It ever happens, only happened one other time. Both men
(22:01):
can and understand that. You know, I love Donald Trump.
I'm I've obviously pleased with the outcome of this election,
but he would be a difficult person to brief. But
you know, he is surprisingly personable and gracious. I think
he's you know, I know that Joe Biden was mainly
sold as it's important for the transfer of power, and
Donald Trump says he's very excited about being there. So
(22:22):
I think both both people are going to be big
about it and get their business done and then and
then move on. But it's interesting to get your perspective
having lived it with Obama, I would think you would
agree this is far more awkward than the Obama one.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
It's awkward, but you know, there's awkwardness on both sides
in the sense.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
That again, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. I mean, that's
a fact of the matter, and yet Donald Trump is
succeeding Joe Biden. So it's a very strange dynamic. And
it's a privilege to be in there for these types
of historic events. I wasn't in the rotation today, so
I don't feel like I'm missing anything because I wouldn't
be in the Oval.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Office UH today for this particular meeting.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
But for those who are there, and I hope they
appreciate how historic this type of meeting is and uh
and the and the fact that it doesn't happen all
that often.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You know, somebody ought to present the side of it.
There is a chance, John, it's it's not as awkward
as we think, you know. I go back to that
line that Joe Biden said to Kamala Harris during the debate.
Oh and by the way, he can't stand you either,
as if they have been talking. I mean, you know
as well as I do. Joe's going to bring up
(23:35):
I might I would have beat you by did she
fail or something? You know, it's the things that we're not.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Yeah, maybe in joking, but you know you raised a really.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Good point, Michael. And when you were talking about the
Senate how it's clubby. And it is clubby, but so
is the Club.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Of Living and Former Presidents.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
And that's a special club that very few people are
a member of. And I think for that, and you
get passed ultimately, you get past any bad blood that
exists because you are a part of American history. You
are a part of this very very exclusive club.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You're you're in Perlin to deliver an important speech in
your week off after a full year of covering this election,
and you missed me. You called in. Don't think I'll
ever forget it. Job, your pictures going up on my
nightstand starting tonight. Oh go ahead, thanks, don't go ahead.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
I was I was walking by the Brandenburg Gate, you
know where Ronald Reagan delivered his famous speech, mister Gerbashef's
tear down this wall.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
And I know you and I have.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Talked about Reagan before. I was thinking I got to
give that Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Guy Reagan and Kennedy. You know my warm spot.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's your morning show with Michael del Johno.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You know, I'm just thinking. John Decker and I had
the bad we did our final electoral college man. I
said Trump three to twelve. He said, Kamala Harris two
eighty seven.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And he's in Berlin delivering the speech on the election.
Where's my freckles? He needs a door slam that means
the world to me. He's in Berlin and he's calling
in the show.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I told you he loves me.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
He loves me, but I still don't want to play tennis.
We're all right. Top five stories of the day. Trump
appointments a plenty. Mark Mayfield has the latest.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
President elect Trump is picking John Ratcliffe, or CIA Director.
Ratcliffe is a former Texas congressman who previously served as
the Director of National Intelligence from twenty twenty to twenty
twenty one. Trump said in a statement that when fifty
one intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden's laptop, there
was one John Ratcliffe telling the truth to the American people.
(25:51):
President Elector Trump has chosen Pete Hegseth for a role
of Defense Secretary in the next administration. Hegseth is a
Fox News host and military veteran who served as an
infantry captain in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump said in a statement,
the Henkseth is tough, smart, and a true believer in
America First, the President of elect has nominated former Arkansas
Governor Mike Huckabee to be the US Ambassador to Israel.
(26:12):
His daughter, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, spoke on her
father being selected.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
There's no greater supporter and nobody that has a greater
understanding of our two nations, unbreakable bond.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
And President Biden will go over the top issues with
President Elect Trump during their meeting at the White House today.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
That's politics. I'm Mark Meafield.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Does that leave Tulsey Gabbard for head of f FBI
or maybe Justice Department? Consensus is Marcos getting Secretary of State.
More appointments to come, President elect Trump says. Billionaire Elon
Musk and former presidential candidate Vavik Ramaswami will head the
new Department of Government Efficiency. Brian Shook as more.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Trump claims the two will pave the way for the
administration to dismantle government bureaucracy and restructure federal agencies. Mosk,
who is the CEO of Tesla and the social media
platform X, says this will send shockwaves through the system
and anyone involved in government waste. Trump says their work
will conclude no later than July fourth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm Brian Shook. Well, Trump and Biden will meet today
at the White House, but there'll be no sipping tea
with doctor Jill and Milania. Lisa Taylor has details in
New York Post.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Says it's due to the raid of her mar A
Lago home, part of the federal investigation into her husband's
classified documents case back in September. The former First Lady
said the raid made her angry and referred to it
as an invasion of privacy. Meanwhile, President Biden will host
President elect Trump at the White House on Wednesday morning.
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, the election is over. Time to clean house. No
yours pre tennis on what you need to do.
Speaker 11 (27:48):
California law regulates political campaign signs. They can go up
ninety days before an election, but they have to be
removed ten days after the election is over. That means
you have until Friday to take down the p whichever
candidate you voted for signs design police will not come
after you, but your homeowners association may and it's up
to the property owner to remove the signs. It's a
(28:10):
misdemeanor if you remove someone else's. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing on government
suppression of UFO data. E. D Phone Rory O'Neil Rory,
Good morning. What's behind this hearing?
Speaker 12 (28:23):
Yeah, this is a second hearing by the Oversight Committee
on this topic.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
We don't call them UFOs anymore.
Speaker 12 (28:29):
They have a new pronoun, you AP an unidentified anomalist phenomena.
And part of that is something we'll hear from an
admiral today, a retired rear admiral who is concerned about
some unidentified submersible objects things swimming around underwater. He says
could jeopardize US maritime security.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So everybody's listening to this, and of course the room
divides him. First of all, good luck with that. Everybody's
going to call him UFOs forever. I still say, what
do you want to give me a coke is PEPSII.
But no, how much of that for everybody listening, it
kind of boils down to, yeah, I believe in UFOs.
I don't believe in UFOs. But what are we really
looking at here? Because there's you know, from drones to
(29:11):
things under how do we know to balloons flying over?
How do we know what is what? Anymore?
Speaker 12 (29:15):
Well, more specifically, this committee is looking into what the
government knows about UAPs and what programs may be in place,
either investigating them or storing some items that maybe have
been captured or recovered. So a lot of this is
really looking more internally at what the government is doing
because a lot of these reports that this Overset Committee
(29:37):
finally gets its hands on are heavily redacted, and we've
heard some members of the committee say it's like trying
to peel back an onion and you just go layer
after layer and it seems endless.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
To in that spirit, we don't really you know, we
don't expect to see pictures of aliens or ships that
have been secured.
Speaker 12 (29:54):
Yeah, the Search for Intelligent life on Capitol Hill continued.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Rory O'Neil, thank you so much. We'll talk again to
don't even want to do it. This Hall of Fame
no longer has any credibility to me. Look, if I
wasn't busy being a medical doctor at a hospital in Tennessee,
I would move to Rochester, New York and take over
this facility. What a disgrace. So we have a National
(30:23):
Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York, and the
news story is welcome my Little Pony, the Phase ten
card game, and Transformers to be enshrined as new members
of the Toy Hall of Fame. As I didn't even know.
I don't know what any of those three are. My
Little Pony I heard of, but I couldn't tell you
what it is. Is it literally a figurine of a pony?
(30:44):
I don't know? Yes, Oh it is? Okay, So let
me get this straight. My Little Ponies? Is g I
Joe in no? So I had read Yeah, g I Joe?
Is Is he a big deal?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
So I have read I go. You know what is
more iconic? I mean, I don't want to create a
talk topic. Just in time to sign off, the people
will be calling in Glenn Beck, Hey, what about in
the real America? Where's Rockham Soccer? Robots. But how do
you have a toy Hall of Fame and no rock'm
(31:16):
soccer robots or electric football or photo football for that matter,
or rook or Uno. How about clue Battleship. I mean
these are iconic. I was joking earlier. I wouldn't be surprised.
Is Share and Dolly Parton in this Hall of fame too?
Even though they're not a toy didn't stop them for
(31:36):
not being rock and roll. They have named eighty four
different toys in the Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester,
New York since nineteen ninety eight, and I feel like
red buttons. Remember I'm probably dating myself, But when he
used to do the road never got a roast.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Hill, Joano
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Bay by shot
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k FYI in Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine, but we're
always grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast oh two
(00:23):
three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael deil Chorna.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Seven minutes after the hour, Thanks for waking up with
your morning show. I'm Michael del Jornaan. Of all the
moments of this morning, I'm so glad you're here now
and don't move. Understanding these election results is everything to
have a glimpse of the future. Why did the Democrats lose?
Was it the under thirty vote? Was it the under
fifty thousand dollars year vot? Was it the no college
(01:01):
degree vote? As we played the long clip earlier, with
Steve Kornaki from NBC under thirty free Trump, which I
thought was brilliant because Donald Trump has been a part
now of three election cycles. There's a cough button, but
not a sneeze button. I know under thirty. Prior to
(01:25):
Donald Trump, the Democrats had a twenty three point advantage.
It was down to eleven this election. Income under fifty
thousand dollars, they had a twenty two point advantage. Prior
to Donald Trump. It was Trump plus three. This time,
no college degree was a four point advantage for the Democrats.
It's now a fourteen point advantage for Republicans. Then you
(01:48):
get into the racial makeup. This is fascinating. So remember
Barack Obama ninety seven percent of the black vote prior
to Donald Trump, eighty seven point lead for the Democrats
down to a seventy two point lead. Remember we don't
have swing states, we have swing cities. So for the
influence of Philadelphia or Milwaukee or Atlanta, these are huge numbers.
(02:14):
If the black vote remains only a seventy point advantage
for Democrats, they got a problem, not just this election,
but elections to come. Here's what's breathtaking. Hispanic Latino vote
Prior to Donald Trump, they had a forty four point advantage.
This election just plus six down thirty eight. Asian vote
(02:35):
was plus forty seven. Now it's just plus four fifteen
down thirty two. How do Democrats lose this? Why are
these numbers like this? Is this a Republican revolution or
is this an Orange wave and a Donald Trump phenomenon
that may not exist in four years? That's an important question.
And how much of these losses are turnout issues? Turnout
(03:00):
issues that can be resolved with enthusiasm four years from now.
For stuff like this, we turn to people to know
what they're talking about, from my voters, from the public square,
from American Policy Roundtable, and our senior contributor David Sonati
joins us, what are you making of all these numbers
in post mortem?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, good morning, Michael. What happened was a big deal.
It was not a fluke. That's what's really important. And
as you're pointing out the numbers, you go back to
about every way you can split out the votes, and
fewer people showed up for Harrison showed up for Biden.
And I think it's important to note that Donald Trump
gained votes in the three times he ran his numbers
(03:39):
want to hire and hire and hire from sixteen to
twenty to twenty four. So you can't deny that there's
a trend. Now, we can draw a million conclusions from it,
but I think the point is it can all go
away in four years if they do a bad job.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So forgive me for jumping right to the bottom line quickly.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
But if they don't do their job, and they don't
prove to people that with the majority in the House
and the Senate they can make some progress. They're not
going to make all progress because you've got to get
the sixty votes in the Senate to get anything passed
to have a chance to vote on it. There's going
to be tremendous resistance in the Senate from the Democrats.
(04:18):
But one thing for certain is if they were to
take on the immigration problem and solve it from working
both ends, get the most extreme cases resolved, and then
move to the most let's say humane cases, and solve
those work from both sides into the middle, and create
a significant solution for the immigration question, the numbers that
(04:40):
they're gaining will continue to grow.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That would be the worst nightmare for the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Right. Two things to note one. What you're saying is
no matter what what's left of the media, with little
ratings and even less influence, they're going to be waging war.
One of my listeners said two days ago, they're waiting
for an alien guns, alien Gonzalez moment. They're going to
wage war. But if they continue to do it sensibly,
(05:06):
in other words, don't go too far to porting everybody,
but but secure the stop the bleeding, secure the nation,
deport the dangerous people, and stay reasonable that these American
people will see through that and appreciate it, and that
kind of value will will remain. That's the point you're making, right, not.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Bring them also see who's you know, they'll also see
who's trying to stop it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That really bad guys. Yeah, David and I have a
long history, and I tend to I tend to see
my adversaries with respect because usually the John Podesta's, that
George Soros's, the people that are really calling the shots. Uh,
they tend to be a step ahead just when you
(05:53):
think you got them. So I keep waiting for a
shoe to fall. They got something up their sleeve, you know,
come come timed to certify this vote. Maybe they've got
something up their sleeve in terms of public unrest. Maybe
they got something up their sleeve. Maybe once he takes
the oath of office they got some other sleeve. And
it may just be that they don't and that there's
(06:15):
no way having no control in the House, lost control
in the Senate, and lost a presidency, which we have
made the main point today. Look at the administ administration
he's putting together. It couldn't be more different than the
Biden administration. That has to be more than they wanted.
But they're going to come back in four years. How
do you know? All So, assuming Donald Trump does achieve
(06:38):
everything that he's achieving in America, starts feeling good about everything,
and then you get Trump gone, that would make the
big question, how much of all of this we're talking
about is a Donald Trump phenomenon versus a Republican inheritance.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, I think I could maybe try to approach that
from him, excuse me, from a number of ways. One is,
this was not a popularity contest. Our good friend doctor
Allen may have coined a phrase that will stick around
for a while when he said that this was not
a vote, it was a verdict. The people that came
forward to vote. Were basically saying, not only we've fed
(07:16):
up with the way things are going, we want them
to go in another direction.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
We want it now.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So the burden of proof is now in the doing,
and so that makes the Democrats very vulnerable. The smartest
thing they could do would be to go away for
four years and hope the other guys fail, because if
they get caught with their foot on the resistance pedal
to the fact where the ideas that are being presented
by the Trump administration are workable, they are real solutions,
(07:42):
and they get caught as the party of No.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
That may make them feel good.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
They may have a four years of protest, but it's
going to be very difficult for them to win another
election if they continue in the attitude that.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
They're in their stock. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Closing moments with the senior contributor, David Sanati, Right, let
me give it to you this way. You know, throughout campaign,
whenever we would see and I kept trying to make
this point, whenever you would see showing up third or
fourth on the list, you know, was saving democracy, And
I would say, don't assume that it's third or fourth
(08:15):
on the list because of the left's narrative that could
be the right responding they're going to far with all
this democracy nonsense and we're a republic, and it would
just show up as one of the main things this
election is about. We did the same thing with global warming.
Global warming can pop up fourth or fifth, but that's
only in one side believing we're all going to die
(08:37):
if we don't, you know, conform to these green new deals,
or the right saying you're crazy being anti energy and
all this crazy new deal stuff. So you don't have
enough information in that spirit. When you see Black vote
down eighty seven to seventy two, Hispanic vote down forty
four to six, and Asian forty seven to fifteen, that
isn't necessarily a conversion to that party. That number could
(09:00):
dwindle like that from people not turning out, not having
energy for that party or a candidate Kamala Harris and
not turning out, and then have a much different feeling
when it's wes More four years from now.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Right, it most certainly will.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
And the thing about the voter turnout numbers is that
it would have been predictable that there should have been
fewer votes for both of these candidates, but there were
not truly. We did accomplish more, and it was all
on one side. That's pretty exposing and pretty unusual, and
that's where you get from a vote to a verdict.
But again, the circumstances can change, so it'll be the
(09:36):
same jury by and large in four years that it'll
be a very different case.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Final thing, somebody's got to say it, we used to
do this after the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. That
was either really poor planning, really poor execution of the
plan on the day of the event, or worse worse
meaning I don't have an explanation for that bad of planning.
I don't have an explanation for letting seven shots get
(10:01):
off Aftery's hopping around on the roof for a minute
in twenty seconds, or worse, and everybody knows what I'm
talking about. You could also take a look at this
on a chart election cycle after election cycle, and you
will notice the Democrats always in, you know, never higher
than seventy million, and then all of a sudden, there's
that one anomaly of eighty million, and then right back
(10:22):
down to seventy million. You know, it could be or
worse shenanigans four years ago. So that's what makes this
turnout thing kind of hard to follow. What is real,
what isn't or I'll say it nicely, the mail in
vote influence or the vote harvesting influence, or the shadow
campaign influence. So we've got a lot of process. How
important is it to process all this in order to
(10:42):
get a clear view of what it looks like in
what's coming in four years? And let's face it, it's
not four years. It starts in probably ten days.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well, I think the reality is the country is no
less divided than it was.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
It's just that the numbers are in sway.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Talking about numbers swaying across the entirety of one hundred
and fifty five plus million votes three million, four million
votes one way or the other. This is still a
very divided country. But it still is capable of going
one way or the other. That's the big deal that
the American public has not lost its mind in such
(11:21):
an extraordinary partisan fashion that they paid no attention to results.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
So now it's up to doing the job. Now.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
The challenge is Trump and every president always over promises
because it's really Congress that's got to make it happen.
So this is going to be that kind of strong leadership,
and Congress has got a chance to make an impact.
They still don't have sixty votes in the Senate, so
let's not kid ourselves. Maybe they get half of what
they're going for, but half is a lot better than nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
David Donati is always great to have you join us.
Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
President Biden will host. President elect Trump might the only
one that thinks Trumps' walk in and go honey, I'm home.
Milania will be there. More on that with our White
House correspondent John Decker. In minutes, Trump says billionaire Elon
Musk and former presidential candidate that Vek Ramaswami will have
the new Department of Government Efficiency. And President elect Trump
has nominated Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to be his ambassador
(12:19):
to Israel. We're kicking around replacements for his national talk show,
HOSS that's originated from Nashville. I guess that would be
either Ryan c. Crest or Michael Strahan. Of course, Kate
have your morning show without your voice. Let's start with
James and Okac listening on k t okay.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Why did the Democrats lose because God said they would.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
He certainly wasn't shocked. Dwight in Nashville listening on WLAC.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Hey, Michael, I won't thank you for everything that you do,
for every word that you speak of honesty to help
us have an informed decision. Man, you are one of
the most real people on the radio, and just approve
that sneezing on the radio just shows how real you are.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Love your show man, Thank you. That actually is just
me being a immature smart ale. Like all my life,
they've when you walk into radio studio, there's a big
cough button. Yeah, And I said, what if I got
a sneeze or you know, I would usually at a
more immature age bring up other bodily functions, and so
I don't know. All my life, I've just I've sneezed
over the air rather than use the cough button. I've
(13:28):
asked David Snatty to stay just for one more segment.
And this came up earlier, David, when we were talking
about and I don't have anything against Christy Nome at all.
I don't think she should have shared how she shoots
the puppies in her book. And I may have cost
they're the VP position, but I don't know Homeland security.
I mean Telsea Gabbard screens homeland security. But it is
(13:51):
a one hundred and eighty degree different cab that he's
putting together, and it's a stellar one. We now know
where Vivek and Elon are serving. We don't know oh
yet RFK and Tulca Gabbard. We still have FBI, Department
of Justice, and Secretary of State open, though we believe
Marco Rubio is Secretary of State. And the rumors are
flying that Laura Trump may move into that Senate seat.
(14:16):
I guess that would I would love r FK Junior.
I know, I know we want him to fix our
food and vaccinations, but I would love him to return
to his father's position at the Justice Department. But I
guess Tulca Gabbard for that or FBI, But I don't
There's going to be a place for her, you know it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh, there certainly will be. And she may yet become
a special advisor to the president. I mean, he has
other options.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
He's already named a national security advisor, right yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Mean, I mean, and so there's I'm looking how many
ways John Podesta has been in the White House. Well, yeah,
it's still where the president lives, so he's got some space.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Do you remember when we were in school, if you misbehaved,
they had the little coat cubbies and that's where they
would put my desk so I didn't enter tain the class,
and then I would decorate it a pictures of my dad.
Maybe we give we should give, give, give a pedestic,
a coke, you know, coke in a corner to go
sit it. Let him over here.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, he'll be lonesome, but but he won't he won't
fail to be busy. I do find it fascinating that
he's out of the country right now, negotiating away our
climate position, which has been his avenue of taking huge
amounts of money from the Inflation Reduction Act and giving
it to friends.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'm looking at the clockway, I'm looking at the clock
that is never my friend. Is there a way you
can come on tomorrow? That I actually I had that
in my head as the story of the day. You know,
he just got beat. This goes back to what I say.
Trust me, they are not lost at what their next
play is. He's overseas already leading the trying to turn
the world against America. Uh and of course completely out
(15:52):
of the country after such an enormous defeat. But you
wonder what their next play. We should probably come back
and do that story alone. So you do expect RFK, Talsey,
and Marco to be three big announcements coming.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
They're all going to have a big piece. But I
think Justice Department is huge. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
What names come to your mind?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I don't have one yet.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, I am the lawyer part of r FK is
more than qualified for that position. But we need him
to fix our food and we need him to look
into the the COVID and vaccination issues.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I'm Lenny McGill, McGill's world famous block store and my
morning show is Your Morning Show with Michael Bell Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Sport Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, d C and five point fifty k
f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine or take us along on
the drive to work, But as we always say, better
late than never, enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
The presidential Election.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I have a speaking event tonight in Berlin talking about
the presidential.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Election, but I wanted to give you a phone.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Call because of that meeting that's happening in a few
hours between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Because I was
in the Oval Office eight years ago in the aftermath
of the twenty sixteen presidential election when Donald Trump met
with President Barack Obama, and so there are a lot
of memories that come back to me, a lot of similarities,
(17:31):
a lot of differences. However, as it relates to this
upcoming meeting that will take place in a few hours.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Let me ask it to you this way, so for
all of us, you know, we're just thinking, oh my gosh,
how awkward. I mean, the last time these two people
were together, it was a debate that was the undoing
of Joe Biden. I thought President elect Trump was somewhat
compassionate in it. And the only real quote that you
have is I don't know what he said, and quite frankly,
(17:56):
I don't think he knows what he said. But it's awkward.
Do you know when you compete in the public and
you speak ill of your opponent and then you have
to have this meeting. How awkward is now? In the
case of Obama, Obama was just like not taking him serious.
This guy's not going to be president. But this one,
this was contentious. And we see it in Milanya's refusal
(18:19):
to have tea with doctor Jill because of the things
she said about her husband and because of what they
did in the underwear drawers. So it's already awkward. How
awkward is it because you've been around it, Well.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
They're awkward meetings, sometimes sometimes not.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
You know. I think that the dynamics are so interesting
with this meeting because of course, Joe Biden beat Donald
Trump in twenty twenty, and yet it is Donald Trump
that is succeeding Joe Biden. That is a dynamic that
is one that this country has not seen all that much.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
No to the second time.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yeah, and so that I think makes it unique as
it relates to Barack Obama. When he met with Donald Trump,
that was the first and only time they've ever met.
And when we were in the Oval Office at the
beginning of the meeting, pleasantries, respectfulness. Donald Trump was deferential
to the President of the United States. But when we left,
(19:13):
I've learned from someone who was in the room. The
niceties went away, and that's the reason why a meeting
that was supposed to last about an hour ended up
lasting two hours, because there were some raised voices during
the course of that meeting that took place back in
the days after the twenty sixteen presidential election.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Well, you unfortunately lived this inside the Beltway, but I
can tell you, like when you look at the Senate,
that's the one and it could be changing. There was
a story today about how we're down to just three
split party states. That's how the divided country is really becoming.
Even in the Senate chamber solid red or solid blue.
But when you get around them, you find out, well,
(19:56):
it's more of a club of one hundred than it
is Republican versus Democrats. And the House you have some
very outspoken rogue people, but by and large they're just
all thrilled to be there and the system sucks them in.
But these presidential can campaigns, they get pretty heated, and
I think, you know, you can tell the ones that
are real and the ones that aren't. And then there's
always surprising, you know. I think eisenhowerver is very surprised
(20:19):
that it wasn't Dick and the Jack Kennedy this young
senators walking around the White House, but they kind of
put it aside for the sake of the nation. Is
this just the meet and greet or is this the
one where you kind of brief them on where things
lead or you know, are headed and things that they
need to know.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Well, one of the reasons why Malania is not doing
the strip is because part of that visit typically is
a visit in which the current first Lady tells the
future first Lady where everything's located. Milania has lived in
that house.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I SHO don't get that need to go through all
of that, So.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Yeah, I can understand why, you know, she's skipping it.
As for the current president and the future president, it's important,
you know, for the peaceful transfer of power to make
certain that Donald Trump and Joe Biden understand the trouble
spots in the world, where the US economy stands, Where
(21:12):
Joe Biden thinks the trouble spots are, maybe it aligns
with where Donald Trump thinks the trouble spots are. And
they'll certainly talk about those two ongoing wars, the one
in the Middle East and the one in Ukraine going forward,
and so it's an important meeting. I think it's ends
an important message to the world. Certainly, it sends an
(21:33):
important message to the places like where I am right
now in Berlin, Germany, that we do have a peaceful
transfer of power in the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And you know what else, I hope both of them
know the moment of history they're a part of. It's
only happened one other time. You know, it is a
strange circumstance. I was joking it probably wouldn't go over big,
but if Donald Trump walked in and said, honey, I'm home,
that would be a nice touch. But this is very strange.
It ever happens, only happened one other time. Both men
(22:01):
can and understand that. You know, I love Donald Trump.
I'm I've obviously pleased with the outcome of this election,
but he would be a difficult person to brief. But
you know, he is surprisingly personable and gracious. I think
he's you know, I know that Joe Biden was mainly
sold as it's important for the transfer of power, and
Donald Trump says he's very excited about being there. So
(22:22):
I think both both people are going to be big
about it and get their business done and then and
then move on. But it's interesting to get your perspective
having lived it with Obama, I would think you would
agree this is far more awkward than the Obama one.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
It's awkward, but you know, there's awkwardness on both sides
in the sense.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
That again, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. I mean, that's
a fact of the matter, and yet Donald Trump is
succeeding Joe Biden. So it's a very strange dynamic. And
it's a privilege to be in there for these types
of historic events. I wasn't in the rotation today, so
I don't feel like I'm missing anything because I wouldn't
be in the Oval.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Office UH today for this particular meeting.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
But for those who are there, and I hope they
appreciate how historic this type of meeting is and uh
and the and the fact that it doesn't happen all
that often.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You know, somebody ought to present the side of it.
There is a chance, John, it's it's not as awkward
as we think, you know. I go back to that
line that Joe Biden said to Kamala Harris during the debate.
Oh and by the way, he can't stand you either,
as if they have been talking. I mean, you know
as well as I do. Joe's going to bring up
(23:35):
I might I would have beat you by did she
fail or something? You know, it's the things that we're not.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Yeah, maybe in joking, but you know you raised a really.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Good point, Michael. And when you were talking about the
Senate how it's clubby. And it is clubby, but so
is the Club.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Of Living and Former Presidents.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
And that's a special club that very few people are
a member of. And I think for that, and you
get passed ultimately, you get past any bad blood that
exists because you are a part of American history. You
are a part of this very very exclusive club.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You're you're in Perlin to deliver an important speech in
your week off after a full year of covering this election,
and you missed me. You called in. Don't think I'll
ever forget it. Job, your pictures going up on my
nightstand starting tonight. Oh go ahead, thanks, don't go ahead.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
I was I was walking by the Brandenburg Gate, you
know where Ronald Reagan delivered his famous speech, mister Gerbashef's
tear down this wall.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
And I know you and I have.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Talked about Reagan before. I was thinking I got to
give that Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Guy Reagan and Kennedy. You know my warm spot.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's your morning show with Michael del Johno.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You know, I'm just thinking. John Decker and I had
the bad we did our final electoral college man. I
said Trump three to twelve. He said, Kamala Harris two
eighty seven.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And he's in Berlin delivering the speech on the election.
Where's my freckles? He needs a door slam that means
the world to me. He's in Berlin and he's calling
in the show.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I told you he loves me.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
He loves me, but I still don't want to play tennis.
We're all right. Top five stories of the day. Trump
appointments a plenty. Mark Mayfield has the latest.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
President elect Trump is picking John Ratcliffe, or CIA Director.
Ratcliffe is a former Texas congressman who previously served as
the Director of National Intelligence from twenty twenty to twenty
twenty one. Trump said in a statement that when fifty
one intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden's laptop, there
was one John Ratcliffe telling the truth to the American people.
(25:51):
President Elector Trump has chosen Pete Hegseth for a role
of Defense Secretary in the next administration. Hegseth is a
Fox News host and military veteran who served as an
infantry captain in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump said in a statement,
the Henkseth is tough, smart, and a true believer in
America First, the President of elect has nominated former Arkansas
Governor Mike Huckabee to be the US Ambassador to Israel.
(26:12):
His daughter, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, spoke on her
father being selected.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
There's no greater supporter and nobody that has a greater
understanding of our two nations, unbreakable bond.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
And President Biden will go over the top issues with
President Elect Trump during their meeting at the White House today.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
That's politics. I'm Mark Meafield.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Does that leave Tulsey Gabbard for head of f FBI
or maybe Justice Department? Consensus is Marcos getting Secretary of State.
More appointments to come, President elect Trump says. Billionaire Elon
Musk and former presidential candidate Vavik Ramaswami will head the
new Department of Government Efficiency. Brian Shook as more.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Trump claims the two will pave the way for the
administration to dismantle government bureaucracy and restructure federal agencies. Mosk,
who is the CEO of Tesla and the social media
platform X, says this will send shockwaves through the system
and anyone involved in government waste. Trump says their work
will conclude no later than July fourth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm Brian Shook. Well, Trump and Biden will meet today
at the White House, but there'll be no sipping tea
with doctor Jill and Milania. Lisa Taylor has details in
New York Post.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Says it's due to the raid of her mar A
Lago home, part of the federal investigation into her husband's
classified documents case back in September. The former First Lady
said the raid made her angry and referred to it
as an invasion of privacy. Meanwhile, President Biden will host
President elect Trump at the White House on Wednesday morning.
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, the election is over. Time to clean house. No
yours pre tennis on what you need to do.
Speaker 11 (27:48):
California law regulates political campaign signs. They can go up
ninety days before an election, but they have to be
removed ten days after the election is over. That means
you have until Friday to take down the p whichever
candidate you voted for signs design police will not come
after you, but your homeowners association may and it's up
to the property owner to remove the signs. It's a
(28:10):
misdemeanor if you remove someone else's. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing on government
suppression of UFO data. E. D Phone Rory O'Neil Rory,
Good morning. What's behind this hearing?
Speaker 12 (28:23):
Yeah, this is a second hearing by the Oversight Committee
on this topic.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
We don't call them UFOs anymore.
Speaker 12 (28:29):
They have a new pronoun, you AP an unidentified anomalist phenomena.
And part of that is something we'll hear from an
admiral today, a retired rear admiral who is concerned about
some unidentified submersible objects things swimming around underwater. He says
could jeopardize US maritime security.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So everybody's listening to this, and of course the room
divides him. First of all, good luck with that. Everybody's
going to call him UFOs forever. I still say, what
do you want to give me a coke is PEPSII.
But no, how much of that for everybody listening, it
kind of boils down to, yeah, I believe in UFOs.
I don't believe in UFOs. But what are we really
looking at here? Because there's you know, from drones to
(29:11):
things under how do we know to balloons flying over?
How do we know what is what? Anymore?
Speaker 12 (29:15):
Well, more specifically, this committee is looking into what the
government knows about UAPs and what programs may be in place,
either investigating them or storing some items that maybe have
been captured or recovered. So a lot of this is
really looking more internally at what the government is doing
because a lot of these reports that this Overset Committee
(29:37):
finally gets its hands on are heavily redacted, and we've
heard some members of the committee say it's like trying
to peel back an onion and you just go layer
after layer and it seems endless.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
To in that spirit, we don't really you know, we
don't expect to see pictures of aliens or ships that
have been secured.
Speaker 12 (29:54):
Yeah, the Search for Intelligent life on Capitol Hill continued.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Rory O'Neil, thank you so much. We'll talk again to
don't even want to do it. This Hall of Fame
no longer has any credibility to me. Look, if I
wasn't busy being a medical doctor at a hospital in Tennessee,
I would move to Rochester, New York and take over
this facility. What a disgrace. So we have a National
(30:23):
Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York, and the
news story is welcome my Little Pony, the Phase ten
card game, and Transformers to be enshrined as new members
of the Toy Hall of Fame. As I didn't even know.
I don't know what any of those three are. My
Little Pony I heard of, but I couldn't tell you
what it is. Is it literally a figurine of a pony?
(30:44):
I don't know? Yes, Oh it is? Okay, So let
me get this straight. My Little Ponies? Is g I
Joe in no? So I had read Yeah, g I Joe?
Is Is he a big deal?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
So I have read I go. You know what is
more iconic? I mean, I don't want to create a
talk topic. Just in time to sign off, the people
will be calling in Glenn Beck, Hey, what about in
the real America? Where's Rockham Soccer? Robots. But how do
you have a toy Hall of Fame and no rock'm
(31:16):
soccer robots or electric football or photo football for that matter,
or rook or Uno. How about clue Battleship. I mean
these are iconic. I was joking earlier. I wouldn't be surprised.
Is Share and Dolly Parton in this Hall of fame too?
Even though they're not a toy didn't stop them for
(31:36):
not being rock and roll. They have named eighty four
different toys in the Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester,
New York since nineteen ninety eight, and I feel like
red buttons. Remember I'm probably dating myself, But when he
used to do the road never got a roast.
