Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, to take
us along for the drive to work. But as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
(00:21):
for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Two three, starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You know, when I met David Sanati, I don't know
what it's been almost fifteen years ago. He used to
always say, what a unique privilege, which is words I
never used, and I don't know why I picked on
those and would throw them back at him. And I'm
just struck at this moment, just as the rejoin music
is playing, what a unique privilege God is given us
(01:01):
to be together intimately on the radio like this to
discuss things that are happening that are impacting our time,
could have an impact on all time and our children's
future and our grandchildren's future. And I look down. Jeffrey
was a listener. He's now the sound producer. And smart Alec.
That's what the big wig David at the premiere said,
(01:21):
And I love that you're a smart Alec. That's it,
the residents smart Alec, the resident smart Alec who or
the most expensive thing on the menu. And then Red
who was a listener is now content producer. And then David,
who I've been so close with for so long, that
you get this team of minds that I've been playing
with for years to try to understand these moments. And
(01:43):
I was struck by that as I'm thinking, I can't
get the sound from Telsea Gabbert to play for David
to hear where she's basically piecing it all together. Wait
a minute, this isn't even about who Democrats elect. There's
a caball behind the scene. And she gets the Clinton apparatus,
she gets the Obama apparatus, she gets the grass top money,
the role of the media and all the players. She
(02:04):
hasn't quite connected all the dots and the two biggest
pieces of the puzzle, which is the Sorows family in
John Podesta himself, who has been sitting in the Oval
office for eight years with Bill Clinton, eight years with
Barack Obama, and the only one sitting in the Oval
office the last four years. And I thought, well, that'll
be interesting to talk about, because where is the guy
that's really been president. He didn't meet with Donald Trump yesterday.
(02:28):
He's overseas, and wait, do you hear what he's been
up to. And then just to show you how the
collective minds are so much powerful than more powerful than one.
We're all living life together. I look, I would have
done just to be transparent, not to second guests. He's president,
been president, and he's president elect. And I'm a schmoe
in talk radio, Ida made Gabbard homeland security. That's a
(02:53):
no brainer. I mean, it's like, if you look up
homeland security in the phone book, there ought to be
a picture of Tulsea Crabbort holding an AR fifteen and squatting.
All right, so I don't get that, but fine, but
then you know the Gates, Matt Gates for Attorney General. Okay,
now we're playing the old game when we were kids
(03:14):
watching television. One of these things just doesn't belong here,
and so, and just to show how all three of
us are different. My first take was, I smell a rat.
That is such a bad pick, almost an impossible one
to get through the Senate. This is designed to get
everybody's attention off the other ones. He really wants that
they might have attacked and focused on this like it's
(03:37):
chum in the water. That was my take. Red's like,
I think he likes Johnson and he wants to get
this headache out of his house. And I'm thinking, yeah, Johnson,
you know, when you look back at the last two
months of the campaign, that's the one guy who was
there every night. That's the one guy who never really
left Trump's side. I mean, Red's got a pretty good
theory there too. Then David Pops on this morning, He's going, well,
(03:59):
first of all, these people jumping on these jobs, these
are jobs that go to nowhere. They're four years at
their longest. Who would give up their career for four years? Now?
If it's Marco Ruby on secretary of State, you can
move on from that. If you're leaving a governorship already,
you aren't going anywhere anywhere. For Gates, is this a
(04:20):
way of getting him just kind of out of it.
And then David also mentioned but you know, he was
so burned by Sessions, and so I thought, you know what,
that really sums it up. Everybody's probably waking up, and
I bet there's some QAnon far far right listening to me,
and I listen, I understand, and you probably love him.
He is going to have a hard time getting confirmed.
And it isn't. I mean, if we were talking about
(04:42):
Marjorie Taylor Green today, it would be the same breath.
You would find that odd for attorney general. So is
it about Sessions? Is it about it's only a four
year position that goes to nowhere? Is it about getting
him out of Johnson's hair? Or do we really think
that Donald Trump thinks Matt Gates is the best person
attorney general? Let's start there. David, what was your take?
(05:02):
I smelled a rat Well, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I think all this leads to the same place. This
is a very curious appointment, and it's shocked the number
of people now. It certainly takes all the focus off
of Hegsith at defense. So it might be the question
of who's hiding the ball for what reason and purpose?
And I think it might be the one that they're
putting up to throw away. Who knows, because it maybe
gets Gates is done, maybe he's decided he's had all
(05:28):
he can handle. But there's place here that don't make sense.
But let's remember who is Eric Holder? Was he a
United States Senator? Was he some esteemed judge or justice? No,
who the heck was Eric Holder?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And Red would like to bring up some people in
dresses and people who like to steal close at airports.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I mean, yeah, so you know, and that we're talking
about attorney general. And again, I think the big question
is this, If Gates are supposed to stay around, then
he's staying around because the energy for what Trump's going
to do in regards to justice is not coming from
the Attorney General. It's coming straight from the White House.
(06:08):
And the Attorney General is simply the errand boy, That's
all there is to it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Telsey Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence Homeland Security, seemed like
a much more better fit and appropriate. Will there be
problems getting her confirmation through Democrats? I wouldn't think so,
But Democrats could be mad at her. Republicans may think
she's a former Democrat.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
No, I think that's good. And again, she has the
widest breath in this situation to help the president wherever
he wants help by coming into this position as opposed
to going into homeland security. So I think they're up
to some very interesting things, and I don't think it's throwaway.
I think it's intentional. I think each of their moves
has a reason and it'll be.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I think one of the reasons. Who one of the
reasons might be that we might be at war four
years from now. And Marco Rubio, who make no mistake
about it, got the top cabinet position, He got Secretary
of State. The two most important appointments so far are
jd Vance Vice President Marco Rubio Secretary of State. They're
the front runners to be the future of this party,
but not far behind, and especially if we're at war,
(07:12):
would be Director of National Intelligence. And Telsea Gabbard and
the way she has played so well on the scene.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
And I'd say he seth on defense because if we
are not in war, there is a strong move over
the next four years to clean up the generals that
in some cases may have actually betrayed Trump in the
first administration.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
May have well, I can think of one or two did.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That was called protect the host. Oh okay, protect.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So David's and not enjoining us, our senior contributor. You
and I have been following this for a long time.
I don't even say this with any question. You do
a Christmas in America. That is one of my favorite things.
You know that that you do that in the public square.
Nothing against I voters or eighteen fifty one of the
other So just happened to be my favorites. And then
(08:01):
one two years ago, I think it was, we did
the year I can't remember what year it was, and
there was a clip in the White House and it
was meant to be a funny little bit by the
major network show Bill Clinton, then President driving around. Everybody's
off for the holiday, and he's just riding his bike
through the White House and taking the cameras along with him.
But the funniest shot was in the background when he
(08:23):
brought his bike through the Oval office and out you
can see Podesta at the desk signing things. He's working,
and then he makes even a comment even Podesta doesn't
take off on the holiday, and you're like ha ha
ha ha ha, and we're like, no, that's not ha haha.
This guy has been President of the United States for
now five full terms, and he will be president again
(08:45):
potentially in four years. So yesterday, here's this big moment,
Donald Trump, Honey, I'm home meeting with Joe Biden awkwardly
at the White House, and I'm thinking, where's the real president.
And of course the answer is he's overseas, John Podesta.
That's what he's been up to, because this is a
jaw dropper.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Well, he is negotiating for the United States of America
with the United Nations Climate Change Council and basically stating
what American policy is going to be going forward, going forward,
and assuring the world that the global commitments made by
the Biden administration will be executed regardless of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You know, one of the biggest hoaxes and farces of
this entire campaign season was Vision twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The age word. He said, the age word. Oh my goodness, read.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
What you said.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Hoax.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh, one of the greatest hoakses with this Vision twenty
twenty five. Okay, so this is the Heritage Foundation. They've
done this forever. It's by design people of all perspectives.
So you're going to have everything from the most conservative
to the most outrageous. They're all gonna be there. It's
just it's just like a brainstorm, if you will. They
take that, try to assign it to Trump in a
(10:03):
scare tactic under the boogeyman and dictator to steal an
election with a candidate leaving because he's seen now, even
though he was hid the whole time in a basement
and replaced with a shadow, shadow, empty pantsuit. I mean,
all this going on, but can I just cut to
the chase and say, this would be like remember what
(10:24):
I always say, classic Salolenski that which they're accusing of,
they're confessing they're doing. This would be like Project twenty
twenty five is overseas right now saying it doesn't matter
who won the election, this is what we're going to
do in the world. They'd be going crazy right now.
The problem is nobody on the right even realizes he's
there and doing it, and their party doesn't even know that.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
They didn't even get like the chairmend of the Heritage
Foundation literally telling the world what policy's going to be,
forget what just happened in the elections, because I'm here
and I say so. At the same time, he's sitting
at the White House, still writing checks from the Inflation
Recovery Act, the IRA which you're all going into global
climate initiatives, tax credits, and taking care of his friends.
(11:05):
This guy is and he is bitter, and he is angry,
and he's saying, we're going to keep doing what we're
going to do. The thing is, I thought you were
going to go hoaxing climate change. Well that too, but
just anybody just go ahead and search engine out Podesta.
Where is he? And what you'll find is he's doing
what he's always been doing. He's being president of the
United States. Now. This guy is the founding chairman of
(11:27):
the Council of the Center for American POWERGRESS he sorry,
so sorry, Center for American Progress. He and John Podesta
founded this in two thousand and three. It'd be the
equivalent of the Heritage Foundation running lituntry.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I hope they get all this, and I hope they search.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You have never been confirmed by the Senate for anything, They.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Never been elected to anything. So here are the Democrats.
They didn't get to say at all. I mean they
voted throughout the primary for Joe Biden. I mean, I
can go back to twenty sixteen they wanted Bernie Sanders,
they bait and switched to Hillary Clinton. They wanted Bernie
Sanders again into twenty they bait and switched to Joe Biden,
hit him in a basement. Then they get rid of
Joe Biden, and they don't go back to the voters
to get their vote. They just give it to Kamala Harris.
(12:07):
They don't even realize their own party doesn't care what
they think. They haven't connected the dots to who's really
running the administrative state, which, by the way, when he
was congratulating Joe Biden on Inauguration Day, he said, this
is the new administrative state headed by Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris. I've never forgotten that quote. But they don't
(12:27):
get it. Tulsea Gabbert's close to getting it. She has
everybody but Podesta and Sorrows figured out. I don't know
that Donald Trump has figured this out. The Democrats certainly haven't,
the Republicans certainly haven't. Gosh, I hope somebody listens to
this show and tells them.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's in plain sight, absolutely plain sight.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So the administrative state four years will be Wes Moore
and Josh Shapiro heading for John Podesta and he'll go
into his sixth and seventh term.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And Yahn Podessa's young man. He's only seventy five years old.
And mean, look how old is As long as Sorous
is right in the checks, then you've got a shadow presence.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, now you're begging me to interrupt again and tell
everybody if you think George Sorows is dark and trust me,
I made his list. Remember when Uncle Joe, Uncle George
used to listen and we would welcome him every morning.
His son is far younger and far darker. He's the
(13:24):
one that's getting ready to take over major media groups
in this country. I mean, it's they better figure this
out if they're really otherwise. I'm sorry this sounds so egotistical,
but you're still playing checkers against chess masters. Gosh, I
should probably just end on that note. Anything you want
to add, that's it. Wait a minute, after fifteen years,
(13:47):
I might have finally impressed you.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We're out.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do you want to amen? What a unique privilege we
have every morning? Think about this. Look at Jeffrey, look
at Red, look at you, look at me or on premiere,
and we're reaching more and more cities with things that
I know people need to hear.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Well, there's one thing I really appreciate more than anything else.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now I used to hate radio.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Tell them this is not the typical way radio gets done.
And we're happy to add the assets of forty five
years in the public policy business to try to help you.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We're grateful you're here. Our senior contributor, David Zonati, good reporting.
Way to follow the real president of the last four
years sixteen John Pedessa what he's really up to because
he wasn't greeting Donald Trump yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's been said curiosity and knowledge is power. I guess
that would make understanding the switch and you get tons
of it here. It's Your Morning Show with Michael Deljuno.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And listen. If you found us and you love it,
we need you to share this with friends. Most of
the markets and stations were on our new stations, and
most people don't know where they're yet. If you think
there's value to this show, share it on social media,
share it with friends at work, share it with family members,
more yours at the Your Morning Show kitchen table. It's
good for all of us, especially for all of us
collectively as Americans.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Sorry, while Republicans on Wednesday elected South Dakota's John Thune
as the new Senate majority leader, opting not to go
with Rick Scott of Florida or John Cornyn of Texas.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Benji Higher has more.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
He replaces Senator Mitch McConnell, who's held the top leadership
post among Republicans for the past seventeen years. It's a
major blow for Rick Scott, the man endorsed by Donald
Trump's in a circle including Elon Musk and Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. Dune has crossed swords with Trump before when
he stood up to the then President's attempts to overturn
(15:40):
the twenty twenty election result, but they've since tried to
mend fences. Benji Higher Washington.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
One of the more interesting selections. President elect Trump nominated
Florida Congressman Matt Gates for Attorney General. Lisa Taylor has details.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
In a post on True Social Trump said Gates is
deeply gifted in a tenacious attorney. The President intellect added
few issues are more important than ending the partisan weaponization
of the justice system. In a post on X, Gates
said it will be an honor to serve as Attorney general.
I'mly Se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
A new study by the Cleveland Clinic and the University
of Southern California has reached a concerning conclusion. Tammy Trihilo
has that story.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
The study found that COVID nineteen can be deadly for
years after a person gets sick. The study shows that
those who get COVID are twice as likely to suffer
a fatal heart attack, stroke, or death for up to
three years after a COVID diagnosis. The risk is even
higher for those who are hospitalized with COVID or have
a previous history of heart disease. Doctor Stanley Hazen of
the Cleveland Clinic says there's likely to be a rise
(16:40):
in cardiovascular disease globally in the coming years due to
the pandemic. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I love this list every year because it's just astonishing.
All Right, passwords, we all have a hard time keeping
track of them, but a password that is password or one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
second or secret continue to be the top three worst
passwords of the year. And that's your top five stories
(17:07):
of the day.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'm Jeff Eddie with efficient Hating and Cooling and My
morning show is your Morning Show with Michael Dell Jorna.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your Morning show is heard on

(18:04):
over the Wolves. In hockey, last night, Caps lost four
to three to the Leaves, Ducks fell three to two
to the Golden Knights, and the Kings lost four to
two to the Abs. Speaking of sports, Rory O'Neal this
year with the best Sports Town.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Rory.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't want to, you know, diminish the urgency of
this report, but I can cut to the chase. San Francisco,
Los Angeles, and New York. Tell me any other cities
where you have two baseball teams, two football teams, two
hockey teams, two basketball teams or more, that would be
a no brainer. They got to be the best sports cities.
(18:40):
Did they make the list?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
La came in at number one?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, those World Series will do that Loo.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
So yeah, and I think there's a lot of the
research here was done pre World Series. But they were
the number one basketball team, the number one soccer team,
and the number two for baseball.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Fans, I believe it or not. In La.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
Boston was second, in Pittsburgh third. New York came in
fourth on the list. They were ranked number one for baseball.
Dallas comes in at number five.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
You know what I left out Dallas? Yeah, Dallas would
be high on that list. Boston, Boston, Redspick was Boston,
and you know, and that doesn't even you know, I
was just doing quantity, not quality. Because of the amount
of teams they had, you would think that would drive it.
But you know, I grew up until I was twelve
years old in Chicago, one of the great sports towns.
(19:29):
Although you only have the Bears, you do have two
baseball teams, you only have the Bulls. Soccer was very
popular early with the sting. You know, there's some great
sports towns and sports towns equal what great revenue cities too, right.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, there can be hometown pride.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
You set up these rivalries that can be a lot
of fun. I'd still get angry at Chicago for you know,
beaten with the Bears, beaten the Patriots, what nineteen eighty five, and.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well that wasn't I think they won by over four.
But he didn't think, hey, hey, hey, hey, we had
a lot of we were living in New Orleans at
the time, had a lot of Bears fans come to
visit with us. Everybody got to go to the game.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
But me at Nashville, by the way, number twenty four
on the list. So wallet hub ranked four hundred different
cities and essentially they ranked fandom in the five big
sports football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey, and then sort
of combined them all together to come up with us.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I did get a chance to witness moving here because
you would think NHL hockey in Nashville. We were blessed.
We had Pete Webber and Krispy. Chrispy of course played
for He was one of the bullies in Philadelphia with
the Flyers and then he won a Stanley Cup. I
think with Carolina, these two individuals, the announcer and commentator,
(20:48):
really did the job of educating this city and we
had become one of the great And I've lived in Chicago,
I've been to Tampa to NHL finals, Stanley Cup finals,
and I've been to a lot of cities. They've done
it a remarkable job here in Nashville with this hockey club.
They they haven't won a Stanley Cup yet, but to
(21:09):
convert a southern city into a hockey town, I witness
that with my own eyes. So don't always go by
big and don't always go by what you know has
always been. But these lists, why are these lists important?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Well because they're fun fodder.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Just fun fodder.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Well, and then you know it's yea and people like a.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Couple billion dollar stadium being built here. I don't know
that that's fun fodder.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
But well, for these lists in particular, But I just
for the list. It's just you know, let's just talk
about it.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
There's a word I'm trying to say, trying to avoid
saying so I won't get fired.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But yeah, Nashville.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Twenty four, Tampa by the way, twenty seventh as an
example of an otherwise unsuspecting hockey town. You know a
lot of these though, are fair weather fans. I'm laughing
at Miami being on this list at number six. Miami
fans are the worst.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
How that baseball pro how that baseball team is still
we think that baseball team's going to end up in
Nashville ultimately, But.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I just know, but I think you've got to pay
for that stadium first.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Well, yeah, I think for when you're a destination city
like Nashville and others, how would we have this conversation
and not bring up Las Vegas, which is completely unrecognizable
in terms of sports from less than a decade ago.
And you know, these things can be they can be
big revenue generators as well.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, twenty sixth on the list for Vegas.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
So it goes Nashville at twenty four, Nashville, Cleveland, Vegas, Tampa, Charlotte,
and then Glendale.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
For the first time in twenty years, Senate Republicans have
a new leader. Rory has that story coming up in
our third hour. We'll talk to you then, Rory good reporting.
All right, David Zanatti is also joining us, but real quickly,
we gotta get some talkbacks in. And I'm excited. I'm
excited that the Your Morning Show sports book is still
open for business. Big John is still at his smoke
filled desk, and we still got odds we need to follow.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Let's start with Big John. Here's a couple of betting
odds to take a look at. I gave you RFK
to the cabinet. He was plus one thirty. He's now
plus two thirty. Those arets are going the wrong way.
And also, will Trump band TikTok by may plus five
hundred yes, minus one ten?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
No, Yeah, that one's leaning towards No. Well, they all
used it too. By the way, you know, we were
talking about handing out some game balls that nobody talks about.
How about the way Republicans use TikTok. I happen to
have two daughters that are twenty years old and a
son that is eighteen years old. And I'll tell you
a lot of these narratives died on TikTok because of
the way the Republicans embraced TikTok and got the messaging out.
(23:40):
There might be a reward for them and not diminishing them.
James listening to hell Whello at Acrod.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
There are some news website staying National Banks has been found.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I'm not sure what's true or not.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Some reports you're still missing, other reports that she's been found.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Anybody he is seen actress no Bangs. We can't figure
out if this girl is still missing or found. And finally,
Brian listening to No Claire on WMQ.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I love that Joe Biden sound bites. Don't well.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Jeff obviously worked that one in to compliment himself. Davids
Andadio senior contributor is joining us?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
All these appointments, for some of them, these can be
really big moves. They could also show you what they
think the future of their party is. And some of them,
because it's a four you know, make a turn and
it says dead end. All right, that's not a road
you want to travel. This has a dead end at
the end of forty years. Just big picture, what are
(24:39):
you making of all these appointments so.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Far, yass, and I don't think that they would create
chaos without a design. So you've got forty eight months
to get everything done that you want to get done.
That's a very brief period of time, and you'll be
under relentless attack instantly. I mean, the Washington Post is
going out of their mind. And you got to remember
(25:02):
the Washington Post was basically taken to the woodshed by
the owner of the corporation, Jeff Bezos, and said, you're
not doing an endorsement this time around. And of course
there's a lot of bitterness going on. So now the
gloves are off so they can go after Trump with
reckless abandon and so they're basically they're doing a great
job totally dismembering. Of course, nobody reads what they're writing,
(25:22):
but they're doing a great job in writing it at
this stage in the game. So they're going to go
after all these appointments. They're all unqualified, they're all extremists.
But the question really is you got fifty three votes
in the Senate.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, you really can't do more for the president, who.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Has the right to pick his own cabinet.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
All right, So let me interrupt and say this all right.
I think that's a great point, all right, And it's
a two edged sword, right, It's forty eight hours to
get a lot four years, probably one hundred days to
really get a lot of things in motion and get
it done. There's going to be enormous attacks, now, you
know why. I first sense that the Gates appointment was
(25:58):
take the chum in the watersh go after him and
ignore these other ones while we get them all past.
Because if he doesn't make it, we can give him
the vacated Senate seat of Marco Rubio if we wanted to,
and get somebody else in there. By the way, I
will point out too, RFK has yet to be announced,
and we still haven't had a White House Press secretary announced,
and I really want to see that's the one that
(26:20):
I think it ought to be somebody that you're like, wait,
they were way overqualified. No, you need a person of
presidential stature to handle the courtroom of public opinion and
the front lines of the assault that's coming. So I
hope that they're on the track with that, that that's
going to be a really smart, big name, not gonna
be Tucker Carlson, And he explained why yesterday, but it
(26:42):
better be somebody big. So RFK is still floating, and
the White House Press Secretary position is still floating. The
rest of it looks like it's loaded guns to get
a lot of things done, and for some they're going
to get under the most attack. It's okay that it's
a dead end in four years. That's kind of our
big picture take right now.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah, it is. And all of this, of course, is
while the American public is now finally saying, thank god,
all this is over and let's get on with the days,
back to normal.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Life and then get onto governing.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah. And so they're going to pick back up again
in January to see how the new changes are going
to come. And that's going to come to Congress. That's
going to be all about Congress. Now, we've been living
in an administration that doesn't believe in Congress. You got
John Podesta right now negotiating away our rights and spending
our money without ever having been confirmed by the Senate.
That is the most extreme position you could ever have.
(27:31):
You've got an administration that literally has non cabinet nominated
and confirm people doing the work of the president. So
how bad can Gates look?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Most important question. Pared we never talk off the years.
It's going to hit you completely out of left field.
But perhaps the most consequential and then being the most attacked,
is going to be Elon Musk and vivik Ramaswami because
the things they're going to be revealing. Remember, Senate's a
club of one hundred. These people have been spending US
thirty five trillion dollars in debt for better the better
(28:06):
part of four decades. You're going to have a lot
of really ugly inside baseball stuff revealed about just what
a failure your Republican and Democrat parties have both been
in being stewards over government. They may be the most consequential.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Well, and there by their strategy by design is to
deliver this package to America in time for the two
hundred and fiftieth birthday. Now, this might be the stinkiest
gift we've ever gotten, no, you know what, but it
might be the most.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Sooner we find where the smell's coming from and remove it,
the better.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
But it's brilliant to do this outside of the government structure,
like the Grace Commission during the Reagan administration, because you
have two people who are incredibly bright and incredibly qualified
and are not going to miss the ball, and they've
got all the attention. It's a brilliant strategy to do
it outside the official sayings of government and then import
it in.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Oh, by the way, just out of nowhere, never brought
up throughout the campaign. How about we look at the
Department of Education and the failure it's been since nineteen
seventy nine. You know, I think at the tet offensive.
I think a d Day, this is the Republicans waking
up to how the Democrats do things. You blitzkrieg, you
throw so many things they can't fight them all. And
(29:23):
I think they just as they got wise to early
voting and mail in voting and what a game changer
that was in the election results, I think they've gotten
wise how to and they have the House, the Senate,
and the White House when they entered. If you're the Democrats,
if you spend, if you got to pick one, because
you're not going to have it, You're gonna have too
much going on at once. You're either going to try
to save the Department of Education, You're going to try
(29:45):
to save wokeness in diversity, equity and inclusion. I mean,
you can't do it on all sides, on all fronts.
I think that part looks like a strategy that's playing
out brilliant and the right people to carry it out well.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Michael, I don't know that anyone from their side would
be listening for advice or know that they would take
anything that I would have to say. But I can
tell you, after forty five years of being in this
business of service and public policy for the country, if
somebody in this process, whether it's Musk or whether it's Ramaswami, Gates, Gabbard, who,
(30:20):
if somebody RFK will relentlessly pursue the truth in the
arena that they're in, the American people are going to
respond somebody searching for the truth, regardless of the consequence.
That's what the voters are looking for.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Senior contributor David Snati is always what a pleasure talk against.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Sue, intimate, warm, immediate, and I also like long walks
along the beach myself. Enough about me, Back to your
morning show with Michael Johno.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's not here from growing up. That was the after
disc jockey on WQUE and New Orleans. Mike McCann, Why
did I bring him along? For this ride because he
sounds great as he does. Fifty three minutes after the
army do the news real quick. South Dakota's John Thune
is the new leader of the Senate. Trump met with
Biden at the White House. Awkward, the fire a little
(31:14):
raging because it wasn't that golden DC.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Then he was very busy. Telsey Gabbard ends up getting
Director of National Intelligence, Marco Ruby ends up getting the
biggest cabinet position, Secretary of State, and the surprise choice
of Matt Gates to be the US Attorney General. And
we've speculated a lot on how difficult that's going to
be to get through the Senate, and maybe by design,
(31:38):
get them to focus on attacking that so the others
can slip through time. Will tell I wanted to do this,
this is and I do this honestly. So you know, CNN, MSNBC,
these are two really big losers in this presidential election.
And what they don't realize is they're dead. They have
no ratings, they have no revenue, they have no influence.
Everybody's moved on to digital and podcasting, but on them,
(32:02):
nobody should be surprised. Who was watching what happened to
election night because they had a data gluru all along
harring In, and that was telling them the truth. You
got a real problem with black men, you got a
real problem with people under thirty in youth vote. You
got a real problem with Hispanic voters. You got a
real problem with the middle class and those making fifty
thousand a year or less. He told them it was coming.
(32:24):
He also comes back after the election to share with them.
You know, when we talk about we really don't have
blue states, we have blue cities. Like if we didn't
have the electoral College, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City,
in San Francisco would elect every president. Does anybody want
to live in any of those four cities. Then we'll
get to why in a minute. But he points out,
you didn't even do well in the cities you've bwoned.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Back in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
You know, the liberal cities were the resistance, the core
of the resistance. What happened in twenty twenty four You
think of a major city in the United States, Donald
Trump put up the best Republican performance for a Republican
nominee for president, and at least twenty years, if not
the entire twenty first century. We're talking about Chicago, Los Angeles,
New York City, San Francisco, across the map. Donald Trump
(33:08):
put up historically strong numbers for Republican candidate for president
in places that truthfully, if you had asked me eight
years ago, I would have never thought possible.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
No, I mean, and if you'd have asked Donald Trump
eight months ago, he would have never thought possible. Well,
first things first, that's the sound of the day.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
She's gonna get smoked.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
He's got I really don't know what he said at
the end of this, and I don't think he knows
what he said either.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I'm going in. I'm going in, tay.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
How do you like my Garffrede?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But here's the bottom line. How did it happen? It
happened in the way that I often say, narratives rioting
in the streets, burning cop cars, looting businesses, all in
the name black lives matter, handpicking one or two distorted cases, narratives,
(34:12):
narratives that die of consequence and ultimately truth. They earned this. Now,
Harry Enton is a great person to show them in
real time what's coming, and they didn't listen. But I
don't know that he necessarily gets it either. I think
(34:32):
of the good trouble, the anti cop movement, all bad
guys are good and all cops are bad, and then
you had lawlessness, and where did that lawlessness rear? It's uglyhead.
I'm surprised Seattle didn't make this list. With the autonomous zone, Chicago,
Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco. Go even further
(34:53):
and you get the other half of the equation, which
was the big mistake to start moving these immigrants and
create not border states but inner city border battles. By
moving them and flying them into our major cities. They
died of their own narrative and their own policy on
(35:15):
immigration and crime both. In twenty fourteen, thirty five percent
in those cities were unsatisfied, fifty nine percent six out
of ten were satisfied. Flip it upside down. Now nearly
sixty percent are unsatisfied, thirty nine percent are satisfied. How
they lose the election, their policies and their narratives. They
(35:36):
died of truth and they died of consequence. That's why
that was our sound of the day.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
We're all in this together. This Is Your Morning Show
