Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happy
you're here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This is your morning.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Show with Michael del Johno.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Bonson on the line. Jack, I wonder if we're going
to get Center Park sound effects in the background.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well we should.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
There's only so much I can ask, you know. He
does all this for free seven minutes after the hour.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. Three ways
to be a part of the show called toll free
one eight hundred and six eight eight ninety five twenty two,

you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, there's a microphone that's
a talkback button. Press it counts you down three to
(01:01):
two one. You can ask a question, you can make
a comment, you can record your I'm so and so
from such and such, and my morning show is your
morning show with Michael del Journalliner. There no more rotting
on hold, we get those instantly, we can share them
with the entire class, and of course old fashioned email,
and we spare you the spelling of the last name.
Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com, book book it, Vevek
(01:25):
Ramazwami and Elon Musk. They're in charge of slashing bureaucracy
and spending. What might they reveal decades after decades of
overspending and how big of a long term savior might
this be? More specifically, what is the role of the
(01:46):
out of control size and role of government? And how
much spending to inflation and cost of living? Well, those
are the kind of questions you ask a brilliant economist
and money whiz. You see them on Fox Business all
the time. You hear him here weekly. David Bonson joining
us from New York City. No Central Park today.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh yeah, we've.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Made our way indoors. It's in the thirties.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So the beautiful cold season of New York is upon us.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, yeah, you can't light the tree at Rockefeller Center
and have it hot that just wouldn't be right, David.
Let's talk about spending from an economy standpoint, because no
topic is more narrativized than the economy. No topic is
let more poorly understood by those who are governing than
the economy. I want to start with the big question
(02:35):
that is never asked and then therefore never answered. What
is the proper size and role of government? What is
the role and responsibility of the individuals and the self governed?
Why don't we ask that? And what might these two reveal?
And how big of an impact could it make? In
other words, the role of overspending and inflation and cost
(02:56):
of living.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well, you've asked about nine questions rolled into one, and
so let's start with the very important foundation that you're
getting to, which is what the size of government is
that we as a society want to have. And I
don't think that that question has to be answered the
same by every country on earth. The United States is
unique for its size and complexity, and it's makeup of
(03:21):
fifty independent states that form a union, and so we
are in a position to be structured with a lesser
federalized government because we provide more power to the states
for various things that sometimes a country that doesn't have
a structure of states would only have centralized.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So in our case, we.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Really were structured to have a smaller federal government and
more autonomy and uniqueness individual states that are all made
up differently, different geographies, different industries, different references.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And what have you.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
And then the fifty states combined with all their uniqueness,
form a beautiful cohesive collective. That's the idea. When you
end up is what the family fathers told us. When
you end up with a society that has weak individuals
that are irresponsible personally formulating weak families that are not,
(04:25):
you know, providing character formation to their children. And then
that weak families provides for weak communities. A lack of
a church and religious presence undermines civil society. You then
end up needing those things if you're going to hold
your society together to be replaced by a big government.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay, so we answered you now answered with ten things.
So yeah, just in describing this, If we've got a
nation that views a president like a king and governors
like Joe Schmoe's, that's how far we've drifted. If you've
got a land of opportunit tunity that's become a land
of entitlement. That's a big part of the problem. If
(05:03):
you've got a government that rewards failure and penalizes success,
you've got a big problem. When the best and most
jobs are government jobs and not jobs in the private sector,
you got a big problem. Everything I just described to
you are symptoms that we got a big problem. Might
vivate and Elon reveals some of that, because I think
(05:24):
what you're going to see is just opposition and complaining
cut by cut, but they're cuts of things that never
should have been and are symptoms of a really deadly disease.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
But we've got to be clear here, Michael, will be
realistic for listeners. They don't have any authority with this
to cut spending. This is not a real department. Departments
of government can only be created or disbanded by Congress.
So it becomes an advisory board that can do a
lot of work. They can do a lot of good things,
but they don't have any authority.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They don't have a budget, they don't have a portionment,
but they can reveal and they can recommend, and then
a controlled House and Senate by the Republicans could bring
to a vote.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Okay, But here's the thing right now on a federal
government website and the biggest bull letters you could see,
every single American could go right now and see, hey,
we spend two trillion dollars a year more than we
bring in. No one's hiding that. Everybody knows it, nobody cares.
Nobody cares, not the politicians and not the people who
(06:25):
receive the money. What they can do is show embarrassing
stories like broad waste and corruption. Sure that we spend
so much money and that we don't bring in as
much money as we spend are well known. And so
I think that what you remember the famous Pentagon toilet
seat thing in the eighties, right where there's the little
(06:48):
stories like that, they'll come up with and they'll have
symbolic benefit the way Muskin Ramaswami is very effective. Communicators
and users of new media will leverage it to shine
a life ight on the idiocy. But the Federal Government
Accountability Office has already told us that they are wasting
in bad payments over two hundred billion dollars a year.
(07:12):
But who's getting that money? Mostly Medicare, so who receiving
Medicare payments wrongfully is going to volunteer to return it.
And states that are receiving too much reimbursement for unemployment.
I think that they're going to get a couple hundred
billion of embarrassing stories. But the fundamental problem you alluded
(07:35):
to is the size of government because of the people
choosing to use government in a messianic role that they.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Can enter anything goes wrong. It's the governments to solve
a tornado. What's the government going to do a flood?
What's the government going to do? I don't have auto insurance.
You know, we haven't even got to the bottom of
that with auto insurance, all right, So yeah, something's driven
up the price of vehicles. Therefore insurance to replace it
is going to go up. But there's guy to be
I mean, I'm just guessing, but I'm a pretty smart
person like you, David. There's got to be a lot
(08:04):
of uninsured motorists out there driving that up too. Oh
could this all lead to the immigration problem. It's exasperating spending, Medicare, fraud,
regular insurance. So what you're getting at is it's going
to reveal some embarrassing things. It's going to you know,
already a people that don't trust their government. I guess
they would trust it even a little less, or don't
respect their government. But we're not going to get to
(08:26):
the root questions that need to be asked. If they
did do a major cutting of bureaucracy and spending, what
kind of an effect might that have on cost of living,
inflation and things that are really driving the economy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well, first of all, they can't cut spending. I mean
that's entirely up to Congress. So if they reveal embarrassing
things that cause Congress to go cut spending, then it
would be very beneficial to increasing growth. So the root
cause of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
That is not the same as saying government spending. The
(09:01):
government ran massive deficits for fifteen straight years and we
had no inflation, I mean, very very low inflation. The
problem is, as I've said over and over again, that
they're putting downward pressure on growth. That's what we can
fix here is by having less regulation, less bureaucracy, less waste,
less government spending, less size of government, and more economic growth.
(09:23):
Then you create the productivity that makes for a higher
standard of living in your society that ought to.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Be the goal.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I think they can do some effective things here. I
am not the slightest bid to pooing this thing. I
think there's some great things in come of it. And
I really believe too, by the way that Ramaswami on
this is underrated because everyone knows how Musk is so
rich and powerful and smart, but he's not actually a
great public communicator. Where the Veig is one of the
(09:50):
most articulate people I've ever been with, and I think
he'll have the ability to take some of the things
they find and really message it effectively to the public.
So good can come that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was just gonna say closing moments with David bonson
our money was an economist. We've kind of had a
long dance here, but I think we're going to arrive
at the same finish to the dance, which is the
best that can come of this might be slow walking
America to the question what is the proper size and
role of the government, and what is the role and
the responsibility of the self governed? And is anybody interested
in being self governed anymore? And you need to be
(10:23):
turning to your governors when things fall through the crack,
not king presidents, that don't exist. Is that kind of
al I mean, that might be the ultimate good that
can come from this. In addition to, you know, if
it leads to some budget cuts after recommendations, some savings,
that would release that downward pressure. But ultimately, if we
could ever get to that ultimate question, that's where America
(10:43):
needs to look in the mirror and make a choice.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
It is and what I would do is say two things. Man,
I'll do it really quickly. Take one thing as a
trial balloon and go blow it up and see how
it goes. You're not going to get four departments eliminated,
but just jump throughout Department of Education. And God knows
we don't need it, So actually try to blow up
the Department of Education.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Do they have the gravitas, the efficiency, the savvy to
get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think they do.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Let's see how that goes, and then it gives you
a springboard to maybe get rid of some other things.
But the secondary thing is the real deal where you
save money, because an Apartment of Education doesn't cost that
much money.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
At a federal level.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
It's entitlements and that's the real issue. That's what we
spend money on and that's why the public is stuck
because they all say they don't want the government to
spend so much money, and they all say they don't
like debt, and yet entitlements, transfer payments are seventy percent
of government outlays.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
This is going to be a lot to do with that. Yeah, exactly,
this is going to make us slight. But I got
to ask you. Our funding fathers warned us, when you
have more tax receivers than tax payers, you've tipped a
scale that cannot be leveled. Again, have we gone too far?
Because ultimately, if you're really going to solve this, American
people are going to have to be willing to make
(11:59):
sacris for the greater good that realize the actions they've
taken and what they've come accustomed to in entitlements was
wrong all along, and they're going to have to make
kind of like my great grandfather's made a sacrifice. They
gave up all of their hopes and dreams and future
aspirations to come here to present them from me and
my children. That was a sacrifice they made when they
(12:21):
came to America. Will Americans make that sacrifice to sting
in the America? Our founding fathers intended? Does that make sense?
Because it's a big question.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
It does, and it is entirely possible. And when people
say something is permanently broken, we passed the point in
novichur and I just want to say, nothing is ever, ever,
ever permanently broken, because first of all, we have a
huge God, and second of all, nothing is ever permanently fixed.
So if it's not permanently fixed, it's never permanently broken.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But boy, do we have a lot of work to do.
My friend, Oh, with or without birds in the background
in Central Park, You're always worth our time. Thank you
for your brilliant mind and your articulate comments. We enjoy
our visits every week. That is David bonson Economy and
Money with twenty minutes after the hour, we come back
quick look at your top five stories. Roy O'Neil is
going to be back for the first time in twenty years.
(13:07):
Republicans have a new leader in the Senate. I think
you know who, but we'll tell you when your morning
show continues.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You're so vain, you probably think this show is about you,
and you'd be right. This is your morning show with
Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I can't even believe you're up this early, but you're
in your room. Just go in the elevator down to
the first floor. You got a sportsbook. Hey, hello, he's
just a listener. He's not a real bookie. Come on,
I gotta go. I got a show to do. Who
was I love you too? Bye? Who is that Bruno
Mars wanting Big John the bookie's phone number. He wants
(13:44):
to place bats and I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like, he's sick.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, well he's you know, a couple of billion in
the hole trying to get back. Even twenty six minutes
after the hour, I want to follow I'm Michael by
the way, and this is your morning show. I want
to follow up our conversation with David Bonson, and I
give credit to Red for this, and he got me
the audio real quick. This is Bill Clinton. We talk
about how the Democrat Party is unrecognizable from John F.
(14:10):
Kennedy and I always interrupt and say, how about the
pendulum from John F. Kennedy to his brother Ted, And
that's the same womb was unrecognizable. But I could play
you clips of Barack Obama saying that marriage is between
a man and a woman. So look how much they've shifted.
Here's Bill Clinton from the nineteen ninety six State of
(14:33):
the Union. Now I'll remind you this is thirty years ago.
It's also thirty trillion dollars of debt ago. The United
States was just five trillion in debt in nineteen ninety six.
When Bill Clinton said this at the State of the Union.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
We know big government does not have all the answers.
We know there's not a program for every problem. We know,
and we have work to give the American people a smaller,
less bureaucratic government in Washington. And we have to give
the American people one that lives within its means.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
By the way, if Donald Trump says this come January,
which by the way, I'm not a big fan of
State of the Union addresses right after an inauguration, it
really should wait a year. But I'll bet we don't.
If he said the same thing verbatim, he'd get booed
by the Democrats in the building. An obvious statement, I get.
(15:42):
But that's how far the Democrat Party no longer exists
and has become the socialist Party of nineteen twelve. And
that's a big problem in America. And they got the
mainstream media, thank goodness, that's dead in their back pocket.
That's how much they've changed. You probably spent all your
time praying for Republicans to win elections and get control
(16:04):
of the House and the Senate. In the White House,
you ought to be praying for an awakening within the
Democrat Party. They're the ones that no longer exist. Now,
the worst part about this whole quote I'll let them finish, is.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
The era of big government is over. But we cannot
go back to the time when our citizens were left
to finn for themselves.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He had it right up until then. He should have
sent them to their states and their governments, because we're
the United States of America and the era of big
government wasn't over. In fact, it was just beginning. That
was five trillion in debt. Now you're thirty five and
here comes the Vik and Elon and let's see if
they're received as well as Clinton was in ninety six.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Ahi, It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Hi.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
This is so and so from such and such, and
my morning show is your morning show with Michael del
journal Sam.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You put him into rotation. Oh, I want his name
is Oh my god, I'm light headed. What is his name?
And where is he calling from? He is my caller
of the year and from a whl low hlo and
Akron Ohio. Oh, we would have sat together in school.
What was it Gary or Harry?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Eric?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Eric just says Eric Whlo? Eric? You and I would
have sat together in school, right next to each other
in the principal's office. That was beautiful. I didn't point
it was going to make it either man. And it
is your morning show with Michael del Jarno. And I'm
commanding you to put that in rotation as it is high.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
This is so and so from such and such. My
morning show is your morning show with Michael del Journy.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oh South Dakota's John Thune after twenty years, is your
new Senate leader for the Republicans, Trump met with Biden
in the White House. He also appointed Matt Gates to
the US Attorney general position. That's getting some reaction. Telsey Gabbard,
I thought you'd have been best at Homeland Security, but
director of National Intelligence it is. And make no mistake
of bar Mark o' rubio gets the top spot in
(18:49):
the cabinet. He is the nominee for Secretary of State.
And the social media platform excessing a massive user exodus,
I would assume from the left, and I warned people
in our one part of the post mortem for the
left will be and it's very important to watch them.
We had in our Sounds of the day a great
(19:10):
clip of what they're all potting to, and I think
their first and foremost pointing at Kamala Harris and the
bait and switch and how the party leaders or the
cabal as I call them, handled it. And then secondly,
it's going two left, two woke, but elon Musk and
X and not being able to silence opposition. They haven't
(19:32):
quite figured out what to do with podcasts and digital broadcasting.
But unlike mainstream media that's dead, has no audience, has
no revenue has no influence. They never were able to
get liberal radio to work. Do you think that they're
going to be able to get podcasting to work? You
think they got a Joe Rogan up their sleeve. And
if they want to look in the mirror and really
(19:53):
kick themselves, kick themselves for losing Joe Rogan. But early
on they've identified X probably as of Elon Musk as
an immediate target. What they don't get is Elon doesn't care.
He didn't buy Twitter as a financial opportunity. He was
(20:15):
just rich enough to take the hit and buy it.
The shadow campaign clearly stated they did it. It was
a three prong attack. Number One, control narrative through the
media that doesn't exist today. The transition is happening, and
it's away from broadcast terrestrial and towards digital and podcasting.
(20:36):
That was a major blow. They haven't identified yet. And
then they didn't even engage in the podcasting that was obvious.
Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, and most importantly Joe Rogan, Trump
went jd Vance went, Elon Musk went Kamala chose not
to big mistake, but in the shadow campaign they controlled
(20:57):
narratives through the media they silenced and censored opposing views
through social media. He blocked that, and then ultimately they
weaponized COVID, changed election laws, harvested ballots, and stole the
election far and square through mail in voting that didn't
exist either, and the Republicans gage engaged in mail in
(21:20):
voting and early voting. That's no small story that most
aren't even throwing in today. Social media platform accessing, massive
user exodus. That's because right now, in their post mortem,
that's all they've figured out. And I said, the left
is going to have a hard time of realizing how
(21:41):
they really lost until they're willing to look in the mirror. Really,
that Bill Clinton audio I played last half hour, and
if you missed it, go to the podcast in the
iHeart podcast section under your Morning show or Michael del
Journa when you find it had subscribe that way, it's
waiting for you every morning. That's Bill Clinton, thirty years
ago and ironically thirty trillion dollars ago, telling you how
(22:03):
the age of big government is over. Well, it wasn't.
It's how much they've changed, and their changes and their
policies and their worldview and their narratives dying, and the
cause of death consequence. But I don't think they're willing
(22:28):
to be that honest in the mirror. Okay, thanks for
waking up with your morning show. I am Michael del Jorno.
Forty minutes after the hour in the Central time zone,
you got twenty minutes to be to work. I can't
figure out. I don't think Shane Copeland is married. He's
the CEO of poly Market. The FBI raided his Manhattan home,
(22:49):
and I was just kind of curious. I wont if
they rated his wife's panty drawers. But I don't think
he's married. But isn't that interesting that they would target
him and why? Because he predicted Donald Trump's victory. I've
been playing all morning long clips from the guru at
CNN that was telling them throughout the general campaign. You
got a problem with Hispanic voters, you got a problem
with blackmail voters. You got a problem with those under
(23:11):
thirty and youth voters. You got a real problem with
those in the middle class making fifty thousand dollars or less.
You're about to get spanked, But Red, you'd have to
correct me. In fact, poly Market I don't even think
was the leader. I mean, there's there was at least
four or five of them. Why him and why rad him?
Why the targeting of X and poly Market just an
(23:34):
odd thing dangling like a participle.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Out there, most connections to to Trump backers though.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, that's why, all right, So they picked him out
because he's linked to Trump backers, all right. Well. A
spokesperson for poly Market called it obvious political retribution by
an outgoing administration against poly Market for providing a market
that correctly called the twenty four election Elon Musk and X.
His quote, it's discouraging that the current administration would seek
(24:06):
a last dish ditch effort to go after companies they
deemed to be associated with the political opponents. Remember what
I always try to remind you, and it's classic Solo Linskey.
And because it's classic Soloinsky, it's classic Barack Obama, because
it's classic both of them, it's classic John Podesta. Whatever
they're accusing. And they just got rid of trying to
(24:28):
get just got finished trying to get everybody afraid that
Donald Trump's gonna get elected and he's gonna She'll have
a to do list, but he's gonna have a hit list,
because they always have a hit list. It's a confession,
not an attack. It's discouraging that the current administration would
seek a last ditch effort to go after companies they
(24:48):
deemed to be associated with political opponents. Well look what
they've turned to, Donald Trump, And I think Elon Musk
knows he's next. He's next in a more organized, much
different love. He says, we're deeply committed to being nonpartisan,
and today is no different. But the incumbents should do
some self reflecting and reorganize, taking a more pro business,
(25:14):
pro startup approach. Maybe what would have changed their fate
in this election. That's really what you're watching unfold in
real time. They're going to be going in post mortem
in a lot of ways. We played a montage and
sound of the day. That was beautiful was John Stewart
making a great joke. But before the joke was all
(25:34):
these people they seem to have honed in on too
far left, woke too far. Now they got people at
CNN that's been telling them all along, problems with voting blocks,
that are telling them now you lost in big cities
at a high rate, you started moving. I mean, we
could say Governor Abbott is a silent, big player and
(25:57):
winner in this election cycle. Why he was the first
to start moving all these illegal immigrants to other blue cities.
And then, in the height of idiocy, the strategy of
the administration was to start flying them all over and
placing them all over while they took what only border
towns were experienced experiencing and chaos, expense and crime and
(26:22):
moved it to their cities. So, getting back to the
genius at CNN, he's showing them and here's why you
lost in Chicago. Lost voters in Chicago, New York, San Francisco,
and Los Angeles crime and illegal immigration. Overwhelmingly, those were
the two things their policies failed them. Well, they take
(26:44):
an honest look at that. How they ignored their own
voters in twenty sixteen with Hillary, in twenty twenty with
Joe Biden, and then again when they removed Joe Biden
and added Kamba Harris without ever giving their voters a
chance to have a primary.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And pick.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
The fate of our future. Look, you'd be a much
better nation without either party. Don't even get me started
on that long conversation. But how the Democrats figure out
what went wrong? And they may not even bother because
they may be just chalking it up to this is
a Trump this is an orange wave, not a red wave.
(27:23):
He's gone. In four years, these phenomenons will be gone,
and they may be right depending on how much they
get done over the next four years. But how they
figure out how they lost it plays a real big
role in the direction of this country moving forward. If
you don't believe me, go back and listen to the
clip of a State of the Union addressed by Bill
(27:44):
Clinton from nineteen ninety six saying the age of big
government is over. It's not government's job to be the
solution for every problem. And I'll remind you that was
thirty years ago and thirty trillion dollars ago, and that
same Bill Clinton would boo his own State of the Union.
How they awaken, Well, I think it makes all the
(28:06):
difference as to whether there is a Democrat Party or
not in four years, let alone the next six. All right,
that's my final say. Final story goes to Rory for
the first time in nearly twenty years, to Senate Republicans
have picked a new leader. South Dakota's John Thuton be
taking the helm. Rory has that story. When your morning
show continues next.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We bring America and the world to your kitchen table
every weekday morning. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Juno.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Thank you, Mike mccannon, Thank you for joining us at
the table. I am your chef of your morning show.
Michael del Jorno and President elect Donald Trump had more
moves than X slacks yesterday. Mark Mayfield fills us in.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
You met with President Biden at the White House Wednesday
for about two hours.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was substantive meeting and exchange of views.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
They discussed important national security and domeslin policy issues facing the.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Nation and the world.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Speaking at a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Korean
Jean Pierre said the leaders covered a significant amount in
the meeting, including national security and domestic policy issues. Both
spoke of a peaceful transition of power and shook hands
with Biden giving his congratulations. Biden said you'll make sure
Trump gets what he needs, and Trump said politics is tough,
but it will be a peaceful transition. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, the Republicans, it's official. We'll keep control of the House.
With a victory and wide ranging implications. Benji Higher reports.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
This hands Donald Trump complete dominance over America's branches of
government when he takes office in January. He will be
able to push through his policies domestic or foreign with
little to know forms of resistance. And it grants Trump's
Republicans the ability to launch impeachment proceedings against his opponents.
Even the Supreme calls his weight in his favor. It's
(29:50):
mostly conservative leaning justices, providing him presidential immunity. It leaves
Democrats in the political wilderness, whilst the MAGA Agenda is
unlad at least the next two years.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Benjihil Washington MAGA Agenda if America's Agenda. If Vice President
Kamala Harris does anything, it might be run for governor
of California in twenty twenty six, because if she does,
she'll have a significant edge. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
Survey from the UC Berkeley Institute shows that nearly half
of voters might support her, with strong backing from Democrats
about seventy two percent of whom would consider her candidacy. However,
the pole indicates that support for her as governor is
lower than for her presidential run this year, with forty
six percent of likely voters showing at least some interest
in her bid for governor. In comparison, she's received fifty
(30:36):
nine percent of the votes in California for the presidential race.
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Today we honor two yards of fabric that can save
your life. Pre Tennis with more on National Seatbelt Day.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act required all
new cars to have seatbelts installed in nineteen sixty nine,
but having seatbelts and getting people to use them are
two different things. People didn't really click until nineteen eighty,
when every state, with the exception of New Hampshire, required
drivers and passengers to buckle up. The NTSB says ninety
(31:07):
two percent of us use the seat belt every day,
but males ages sixteen to twenty four are the least
likely to click it. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
For the first time in twenty years, Senate Republicans have
a new leader. Wasn't Cornyn, wasn't Scott. Was South Dakota's
John Thune. Roy O'Neil joins us with the final story
and all of its implications. Good morning, Rory, Good morning.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
Yeah, it's interesting to see what the implications are going
to be here. Some Trump supporters a bit disappointed Rick
Scott didn't get the nomination or the pick to become
the leader of the Republicans. Some have criticized Thune as
being a bit too much of the swamp that already existed.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
So we'll see how this goes.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And didn't take long for the speculation to turn to
well that's that. But you know, you might actually have
a vice president that could strong arm some things, being
ultimately in control of a So that'll just give you
the kind of clear picture that the Republicans are united
behind this pick. Probably the most reacted to pick was
(32:10):
Gates attorney general. This one might even be problem to
get confirmed, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
And was this a reaction to the Thune pick?
Speaker 11 (32:17):
You know, since the senator or since President elect Trump
has sort of been supporting the Scott choice. Yeah, it's
interesting to say, Look, he's already lost it. I think
two senators I know, Susan Collins, I think Lisa Murkowski
and Matt The Matt Gates pick could have some other issues.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
You know, that ethics report was supposed to be.
Speaker 11 (32:36):
Released tomorrow, but since you resigned, it sort of kills
that report. And let's see if maybe it's resurrected during
the confirmation hearing. Is that even something senators could be
able to do. And when I say senators, I mean
the Democratic ones will try to stop this pick.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, we were having an in depth conversation about it earlier.
There's several things. You know, the President obviously doesn't want
another Sessions by the same token, he's got other appointments
that might be attacked. If you put enough chum in
the water and get them all focused on Gates, that
could be a tactic. It could be it's a four
year dead end anyway. I think red brought up might
even be a president to Speaker Johnson, who's been so
(33:13):
loyal to the President, to get Gates's headache out out
of his chamber. There's a lot of things to tick
around here. I don't know who's right, but it's certainly
chum in the water because they can't block them all,
and this might be one they'll take the bait on
and focus.
Speaker 11 (33:29):
On, right and they get to exercise their independence. Also,
if it keeps that report sealed, that means that Gates
didn't have to resign because of the ethics investigation or
not seek re election. He was able to win again
in his deep, deep, deep red district in the Panhandle,
and then it clears the path for him to run
for governor with that ethics investigation never seeing the light
(33:53):
of day.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
All right, I guess Roy O'Neil continues your morning show
National Correspondent. I guess this goes under the headline of
you can't fire me. I quit. But Jack Smith is resigning.
Where does that leave all these cases?
Speaker 11 (34:05):
Well, he's got to do a final report, essentially, submit
a report to the current age. Merrick Garland saying this
is what I've been doing for the past eighteen months.
And then the question becomes, does that report get made public?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It doesn't have to be. That's at the discretion of
the age. We'll see what he decides to do.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I mean, a lot of moving parts.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Rory, thankfully, excuse me, something to.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Do, always staying busy. By the way, they had your
hearing on UFOs. Was there anything there? I know your
curiosity had you watch it?
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I did watch some of it. It was a bit dry.
Speaker 11 (34:37):
Again, this was about the government cover up of alleged
UFO activities, so it was a bit more about different
government agencies and yeah, but I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But that's a big statement. So it wasn't about, oh,
you want to see some bodies that you can't explain.
We got him in this warehouse, some aircraft and spaceships
you might want to It wasn't really about that as
much as whatever there is there isn't the cover up
right right?
Speaker 11 (35:02):
And why are we spent what's this line item in
the Pentagon budget for this? What is that for that
kind of a thing, because it is the Oversight Committee
that's doing these hearings and they want to see if
the government is quashing some of.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
These UAP allegations and claim.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I don't you know, I have your fascination with space,
so I've studied Mercury, Apollo, Space Shuttle, all things NASA.
I don't really take the bait on all this. You know,
are there aliens and UFOs? We took a quick one.
There was one. I don't know, maybe there was me.
I don't ever think about it, but no, and then
(35:37):
there was I guess. Ultimately Red came down. Do you
believe in UFOs and aliens?
Speaker 11 (35:45):
This was a great It's the arrogance of humanity to
think that we exist at the same time together.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah. More with Rory tomorrow. Great reporting all day long.
We'll be back five am Central, six Eastern. Go make
a difference in someone's life, cherish your own, and we'll
see you tomorrow morning for your morning show. We're all
in this together.
Speaker 2 (36:03):

Bonson on the line. Jack, I wonder if we're going
to get Center Park sound effects in the background.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well we should.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
There's only so much I can ask, you know. He

and we spare you the spelling of the last name.
Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com, book book it, Vevek
(01:25):
Ramazwami and Elon Musk. They're in charge of slashing bureaucracy
and spending. What might they reveal decades after decades of
overspending and how big of a long term savior might
this be? More specifically, what is the role of the
(01:46):
out of control size and role of government? And how
much spending to inflation and cost of living? Well, those
are the kind of questions you ask a brilliant economist
and money whiz. You see them on Fox Business all
the time. You hear him here weekly. David Bonson joining
us from New York City. No Central Park today.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh yeah, we've.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Made our way indoors. It's in the thirties.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So the beautiful cold season of New York is upon us.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, yeah, you can't light the tree at Rockefeller Center
and have it hot that just wouldn't be right, David.
Let's talk about spending from an economy standpoint, because no
topic is more narrativized than the economy. No topic is
let more poorly understood by those who are governing than
the economy. I want to start with the big question
(02:35):
that is never asked and then therefore never answered. What
is the proper size and role of government? What is
the role and responsibility of the individuals and the self governed?
Why don't we ask that? And what might these two reveal?
And how big of an impact could it make? In
other words, the role of overspending and inflation and cost
(02:56):
of living.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well, you've asked about nine questions rolled into one, and
so let's start with the very important foundation that you're
getting to, which is what the size of government is
that we as a society want to have. And I
don't think that that question has to be answered the
same by every country on earth. The United States is
unique for its size and complexity, and it's makeup of
(03:21):
fifty independent states that form a union, and so we
are in a position to be structured with a lesser
federalized government because we provide more power to the states
for various things that sometimes a country that doesn't have
a structure of states would only have centralized.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So in our case, we.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Really were structured to have a smaller federal government and
more autonomy and uniqueness individual states that are all made
up differently, different geographies, different industries, different references.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And what have you.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
And then the fifty states combined with all their uniqueness,
form a beautiful cohesive collective. That's the idea. When you
end up is what the family fathers told us. When
you end up with a society that has weak individuals
that are irresponsible personally formulating weak families that are not,
(04:25):
you know, providing character formation to their children. And then
that weak families provides for weak communities. A lack of
a church and religious presence undermines civil society. You then
end up needing those things if you're going to hold
your society together to be replaced by a big government.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay, so we answered you now answered with ten things.
So yeah, just in describing this, If we've got a
nation that views a president like a king and governors
like Joe Schmoe's, that's how far we've drifted. If you've
got a land of opportunit tunity that's become a land
of entitlement. That's a big part of the problem. If
(05:03):
you've got a government that rewards failure and penalizes success,
you've got a big problem. When the best and most
jobs are government jobs and not jobs in the private sector,
you got a big problem. Everything I just described to
you are symptoms that we got a big problem. Might
vivate and Elon reveals some of that, because I think
(05:24):
what you're going to see is just opposition and complaining
cut by cut, but they're cuts of things that never
should have been and are symptoms of a really deadly disease.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
But we've got to be clear here, Michael, will be
realistic for listeners. They don't have any authority with this
to cut spending. This is not a real department. Departments
of government can only be created or disbanded by Congress.
So it becomes an advisory board that can do a
lot of work. They can do a lot of good things,
but they don't have any authority.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They don't have a budget, they don't have a portionment,
but they can reveal and they can recommend, and then
a controlled House and Senate by the Republicans could bring
to a vote.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Okay, But here's the thing right now on a federal
government website and the biggest bull letters you could see,
every single American could go right now and see, hey,
we spend two trillion dollars a year more than we
bring in. No one's hiding that. Everybody knows it, nobody cares.
Nobody cares, not the politicians and not the people who
(06:25):
receive the money. What they can do is show embarrassing
stories like broad waste and corruption. Sure that we spend
so much money and that we don't bring in as
much money as we spend are well known. And so
I think that what you remember the famous Pentagon toilet
seat thing in the eighties, right where there's the little
(06:48):
stories like that, they'll come up with and they'll have
symbolic benefit the way Muskin Ramaswami is very effective. Communicators
and users of new media will leverage it to shine
a life ight on the idiocy. But the Federal Government
Accountability Office has already told us that they are wasting
in bad payments over two hundred billion dollars a year.
(07:12):
But who's getting that money? Mostly Medicare, so who receiving
Medicare payments wrongfully is going to volunteer to return it.
And states that are receiving too much reimbursement for unemployment.
I think that they're going to get a couple hundred
billion of embarrassing stories. But the fundamental problem you alluded
(07:35):
to is the size of government because of the people
choosing to use government in a messianic role that they.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Can enter anything goes wrong. It's the governments to solve
a tornado. What's the government going to do a flood?
What's the government going to do? I don't have auto insurance.
You know, we haven't even got to the bottom of
that with auto insurance, all right, So yeah, something's driven
up the price of vehicles. Therefore insurance to replace it
is going to go up. But there's guy to be
I mean, I'm just guessing, but I'm a pretty smart
person like you, David. There's got to be a lot
(08:04):
of uninsured motorists out there driving that up too. Oh
could this all lead to the immigration problem. It's exasperating spending, Medicare, fraud,
regular insurance. So what you're getting at is it's going
to reveal some embarrassing things. It's going to you know,
already a people that don't trust their government. I guess
they would trust it even a little less, or don't
respect their government. But we're not going to get to
(08:26):
the root questions that need to be asked. If they
did do a major cutting of bureaucracy and spending, what
kind of an effect might that have on cost of living,
inflation and things that are really driving the economy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well, first of all, they can't cut spending. I mean
that's entirely up to Congress. So if they reveal embarrassing
things that cause Congress to go cut spending, then it
would be very beneficial to increasing growth. So the root
cause of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
That is not the same as saying government spending. The
(09:01):
government ran massive deficits for fifteen straight years and we
had no inflation, I mean, very very low inflation. The
problem is, as I've said over and over again, that
they're putting downward pressure on growth. That's what we can
fix here is by having less regulation, less bureaucracy, less waste,
less government spending, less size of government, and more economic growth.
(09:23):
Then you create the productivity that makes for a higher
standard of living in your society that ought to.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Be the goal.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I think they can do some effective things here. I
am not the slightest bid to pooing this thing. I
think there's some great things in come of it. And
I really believe too, by the way that Ramaswami on
this is underrated because everyone knows how Musk is so
rich and powerful and smart, but he's not actually a
great public communicator. Where the Veig is one of the
(09:50):
most articulate people I've ever been with, and I think
he'll have the ability to take some of the things
they find and really message it effectively to the public.
So good can come that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was just gonna say closing moments with David bonson
our money was an economist. We've kind of had a
long dance here, but I think we're going to arrive
at the same finish to the dance, which is the
best that can come of this might be slow walking
America to the question what is the proper size and
role of the government, and what is the role and
the responsibility of the self governed? And is anybody interested
in being self governed anymore? And you need to be
(10:23):
turning to your governors when things fall through the crack,
not king presidents, that don't exist. Is that kind of
al I mean, that might be the ultimate good that
can come from this. In addition to, you know, if
it leads to some budget cuts after recommendations, some savings,
that would release that downward pressure. But ultimately, if we
could ever get to that ultimate question, that's where America
(10:43):
needs to look in the mirror and make a choice.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
It is and what I would do is say two things. Man,
I'll do it really quickly. Take one thing as a
trial balloon and go blow it up and see how
it goes. You're not going to get four departments eliminated,
but just jump throughout Department of Education. And God knows
we don't need it, So actually try to blow up
the Department of Education.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Do they have the gravitas, the efficiency, the savvy to
get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think they do.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Let's see how that goes, and then it gives you
a springboard to maybe get rid of some other things.
But the secondary thing is the real deal where you
save money, because an Apartment of Education doesn't cost that
much money.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
At a federal level.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
It's entitlements and that's the real issue. That's what we
spend money on and that's why the public is stuck
because they all say they don't want the government to
spend so much money, and they all say they don't
like debt, and yet entitlements, transfer payments are seventy percent
of government outlays.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
This is going to be a lot to do with that. Yeah, exactly,
this is going to make us slight. But I got
to ask you. Our funding fathers warned us, when you
have more tax receivers than tax payers, you've tipped a
scale that cannot be leveled. Again, have we gone too far?
Because ultimately, if you're really going to solve this, American
people are going to have to be willing to make
(11:59):
sacris for the greater good that realize the actions they've
taken and what they've come accustomed to in entitlements was
wrong all along, and they're going to have to make
kind of like my great grandfather's made a sacrifice. They
gave up all of their hopes and dreams and future
aspirations to come here to present them from me and
my children. That was a sacrifice they made when they
(12:21):
came to America. Will Americans make that sacrifice to sting
in the America? Our founding fathers intended? Does that make sense?
Because it's a big question.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
It does, and it is entirely possible. And when people
say something is permanently broken, we passed the point in
novichur and I just want to say, nothing is ever, ever,
ever permanently broken, because first of all, we have a
huge God, and second of all, nothing is ever permanently fixed.
So if it's not permanently fixed, it's never permanently broken.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But boy, do we have a lot of work to do.
My friend, Oh, with or without birds in the background
in Central Park, You're always worth our time. Thank you
for your brilliant mind and your articulate comments. We enjoy
our visits every week. That is David bonson Economy and
Money with twenty minutes after the hour, we come back
quick look at your top five stories. Roy O'Neil is
going to be back for the first time in twenty years.
(13:07):
Republicans have a new leader in the Senate. I think
you know who, but we'll tell you when your morning
show continues.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You're so vain, you probably think this show is about you,
and you'd be right. This is your morning show with
Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I can't even believe you're up this early, but you're
in your room. Just go in the elevator down to
the first floor. You got a sportsbook. Hey, hello, he's
just a listener. He's not a real bookie. Come on,
I gotta go. I got a show to do. Who
was I love you too? Bye? Who is that Bruno
Mars wanting Big John the bookie's phone number. He wants
(13:44):
to place bats and I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like, he's sick.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, well he's you know, a couple of billion in
the hole trying to get back. Even twenty six minutes
after the hour, I want to follow I'm Michael by
the way, and this is your morning show. I want
to follow up our conversation with David Bonson, and I
give credit to Red for this, and he got me
the audio real quick. This is Bill Clinton. We talk
about how the Democrat Party is unrecognizable from John F.
(14:10):
Kennedy and I always interrupt and say, how about the
pendulum from John F. Kennedy to his brother Ted, And
that's the same womb was unrecognizable. But I could play
you clips of Barack Obama saying that marriage is between
a man and a woman. So look how much they've shifted.
Here's Bill Clinton from the nineteen ninety six State of
(14:33):
the Union. Now I'll remind you this is thirty years ago.
It's also thirty trillion dollars of debt ago. The United
States was just five trillion in debt in nineteen ninety six.
When Bill Clinton said this at the State of the Union.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
We know big government does not have all the answers.
We know there's not a program for every problem. We know,
and we have work to give the American people a smaller,
less bureaucratic government in Washington. And we have to give
the American people one that lives within its means.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
By the way, if Donald Trump says this come January,
which by the way, I'm not a big fan of
State of the Union addresses right after an inauguration, it
really should wait a year. But I'll bet we don't.
If he said the same thing verbatim, he'd get booed
by the Democrats in the building. An obvious statement, I get.
(15:42):
But that's how far the Democrat Party no longer exists
and has become the socialist Party of nineteen twelve. And
that's a big problem in America. And they got the
mainstream media, thank goodness, that's dead in their back pocket.
That's how much they've changed. You probably spent all your
time praying for Republicans to win elections and get control
(16:04):
of the House and the Senate. In the White House,
you ought to be praying for an awakening within the
Democrat Party. They're the ones that no longer exist. Now,
the worst part about this whole quote I'll let them finish, is.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
The era of big government is over. But we cannot
go back to the time when our citizens were left
to finn for themselves.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He had it right up until then. He should have
sent them to their states and their governments, because we're
the United States of America and the era of big
government wasn't over. In fact, it was just beginning. That
was five trillion in debt. Now you're thirty five and
here comes the Vik and Elon and let's see if
they're received as well as Clinton was in ninety six.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Ahi, It's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the

Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Hi.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
This is so and so from such and such, and
my morning show is your morning show with Michael del
journal Sam.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You put him into rotation. Oh, I want his name
is Oh my god, I'm light headed. What is his name?
And where is he calling from? He is my caller
of the year and from a whl low hlo and
Akron Ohio. Oh, we would have sat together in school.
What was it Gary or Harry?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Eric?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Eric just says Eric Whlo? Eric? You and I would
have sat together in school, right next to each other
in the principal's office. That was beautiful. I didn't point
it was going to make it either man. And it
is your morning show with Michael del Jarno. And I'm
commanding you to put that in rotation as it is high.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
This is so and so from such and such. My
morning show is your morning show with Michael del Journy.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oh South Dakota's John Thune after twenty years, is your
new Senate leader for the Republicans, Trump met with Biden
in the White House. He also appointed Matt Gates to
the US Attorney general position. That's getting some reaction. Telsey Gabbard,
I thought you'd have been best at Homeland Security, but
director of National Intelligence it is. And make no mistake
of bar Mark o' rubio gets the top spot in
(18:49):
the cabinet. He is the nominee for Secretary of State.
And the social media platform excessing a massive user exodus,
I would assume from the left, and I warned people
in our one part of the post mortem for the
left will be and it's very important to watch them.
We had in our Sounds of the day a great
(19:10):
clip of what they're all potting to, and I think
their first and foremost pointing at Kamala Harris and the
bait and switch and how the party leaders or the
cabal as I call them, handled it. And then secondly,
it's going two left, two woke, but elon Musk and
X and not being able to silence opposition. They haven't
(19:32):
quite figured out what to do with podcasts and digital broadcasting.
But unlike mainstream media that's dead, has no audience, has
no revenue has no influence. They never were able to
get liberal radio to work. Do you think that they're
going to be able to get podcasting to work? You
think they got a Joe Rogan up their sleeve. And
if they want to look in the mirror and really
(19:53):
kick themselves, kick themselves for losing Joe Rogan. But early
on they've identified X probably as of Elon Musk as
an immediate target. What they don't get is Elon doesn't care.
He didn't buy Twitter as a financial opportunity. He was
(20:15):
just rich enough to take the hit and buy it.
The shadow campaign clearly stated they did it. It was
a three prong attack. Number One, control narrative through the
media that doesn't exist today. The transition is happening, and
it's away from broadcast terrestrial and towards digital and podcasting.
(20:36):
That was a major blow. They haven't identified yet. And
then they didn't even engage in the podcasting that was obvious.
Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, and most importantly Joe Rogan, Trump
went jd Vance went, Elon Musk went Kamala chose not
to big mistake, but in the shadow campaign they controlled
(20:57):
narratives through the media they silenced and censored opposing views
through social media. He blocked that, and then ultimately they
weaponized COVID, changed election laws, harvested ballots, and stole the
election far and square through mail in voting that didn't
exist either, and the Republicans gage engaged in mail in
(21:20):
voting and early voting. That's no small story that most
aren't even throwing in today. Social media platform accessing, massive
user exodus. That's because right now, in their post mortem,
that's all they've figured out. And I said, the left
is going to have a hard time of realizing how
(21:41):
they really lost until they're willing to look in the mirror. Really,
that Bill Clinton audio I played last half hour, and
if you missed it, go to the podcast in the
iHeart podcast section under your Morning show or Michael del
Journa when you find it had subscribe that way, it's
waiting for you every morning. That's Bill Clinton, thirty years
ago and ironically thirty trillion dollars ago, telling you how
(22:03):
the age of big government is over. Well, it wasn't.
It's how much they've changed, and their changes and their
policies and their worldview and their narratives dying, and the
cause of death consequence. But I don't think they're willing
(22:28):
to be that honest in the mirror. Okay, thanks for
waking up with your morning show. I am Michael del Jorno.
Forty minutes after the hour in the Central time zone,
you got twenty minutes to be to work. I can't
figure out. I don't think Shane Copeland is married. He's
the CEO of poly Market. The FBI raided his Manhattan home,
(22:49):
and I was just kind of curious. I wont if
they rated his wife's panty drawers. But I don't think
he's married. But isn't that interesting that they would target
him and why? Because he predicted Donald Trump's victory. I've
been playing all morning long clips from the guru at
CNN that was telling them throughout the general campaign. You
got a problem with Hispanic voters, you got a problem
with blackmail voters. You got a problem with those under
(23:11):
thirty and youth voters. You got a real problem with
those in the middle class making fifty thousand dollars or less.
You're about to get spanked, But Red, you'd have to
correct me. In fact, poly Market I don't even think
was the leader. I mean, there's there was at least
four or five of them. Why him and why rad him?
Why the targeting of X and poly Market just an
(23:34):
odd thing dangling like a participle.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Out there, most connections to to Trump backers though.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, that's why, all right, So they picked him out
because he's linked to Trump backers, all right. Well. A
spokesperson for poly Market called it obvious political retribution by
an outgoing administration against poly Market for providing a market
that correctly called the twenty four election Elon Musk and X.
His quote, it's discouraging that the current administration would seek
(24:06):
a last dish ditch effort to go after companies they
deemed to be associated with the political opponents. Remember what
I always try to remind you, and it's classic Solo Linskey.
And because it's classic Soloinsky, it's classic Barack Obama, because
it's classic both of them, it's classic John Podesta. Whatever
they're accusing. And they just got rid of trying to
(24:28):
get just got finished trying to get everybody afraid that
Donald Trump's gonna get elected and he's gonna She'll have
a to do list, but he's gonna have a hit list,
because they always have a hit list. It's a confession,
not an attack. It's discouraging that the current administration would
seek a last ditch effort to go after companies they
(24:48):
deemed to be associated with political opponents. Well look what
they've turned to, Donald Trump, And I think Elon Musk
knows he's next. He's next in a more organized, much
different love. He says, we're deeply committed to being nonpartisan,
and today is no different. But the incumbents should do
some self reflecting and reorganize, taking a more pro business,
(25:14):
pro startup approach. Maybe what would have changed their fate
in this election. That's really what you're watching unfold in
real time. They're going to be going in post mortem
in a lot of ways. We played a montage and
sound of the day. That was beautiful was John Stewart
making a great joke. But before the joke was all
(25:34):
these people they seem to have honed in on too
far left, woke too far. Now they got people at
CNN that's been telling them all along, problems with voting blocks,
that are telling them now you lost in big cities
at a high rate, you started moving. I mean, we
could say Governor Abbott is a silent, big player and
(25:57):
winner in this election cycle. Why he was the first
to start moving all these illegal immigrants to other blue cities.
And then, in the height of idiocy, the strategy of
the administration was to start flying them all over and
placing them all over while they took what only border
towns were experienced experiencing and chaos, expense and crime and
(26:22):
moved it to their cities. So, getting back to the
genius at CNN, he's showing them and here's why you
lost in Chicago. Lost voters in Chicago, New York, San Francisco,
and Los Angeles crime and illegal immigration. Overwhelmingly, those were
the two things their policies failed them. Well, they take
(26:44):
an honest look at that. How they ignored their own
voters in twenty sixteen with Hillary, in twenty twenty with
Joe Biden, and then again when they removed Joe Biden
and added Kamba Harris without ever giving their voters a
chance to have a primary.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And pick.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
The fate of our future. Look, you'd be a much
better nation without either party. Don't even get me started
on that long conversation. But how the Democrats figure out
what went wrong? And they may not even bother because
they may be just chalking it up to this is
a Trump this is an orange wave, not a red wave.
(27:23):
He's gone. In four years, these phenomenons will be gone,
and they may be right depending on how much they
get done over the next four years. But how they
figure out how they lost it plays a real big
role in the direction of this country moving forward. If
you don't believe me, go back and listen to the
clip of a State of the Union addressed by Bill
(27:44):
Clinton from nineteen ninety six saying the age of big
government is over. It's not government's job to be the
solution for every problem. And I'll remind you that was
thirty years ago and thirty trillion dollars ago, and that
same Bill Clinton would boo his own State of the Union.
How they awaken, Well, I think it makes all the
(28:06):
difference as to whether there is a Democrat Party or
not in four years, let alone the next six. All right,
that's my final say. Final story goes to Rory for
the first time in nearly twenty years, to Senate Republicans
have picked a new leader. South Dakota's John Thuton be
taking the helm. Rory has that story. When your morning
show continues next.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We bring America and the world to your kitchen table
every weekday morning. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Juno.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Thank you, Mike mccannon, Thank you for joining us at
the table. I am your chef of your morning show.
Michael del Jorno and President elect Donald Trump had more
moves than X slacks yesterday. Mark Mayfield fills us in.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
You met with President Biden at the White House Wednesday
for about two hours.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was substantive meeting and exchange of views.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
They discussed important national security and domeslin policy issues facing the.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Nation and the world.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Speaking at a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Korean
Jean Pierre said the leaders covered a significant amount in
the meeting, including national security and domestic policy issues. Both
spoke of a peaceful transition of power and shook hands
with Biden giving his congratulations. Biden said you'll make sure
Trump gets what he needs, and Trump said politics is tough,
but it will be a peaceful transition. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, the Republicans, it's official. We'll keep control of the House.
With a victory and wide ranging implications. Benji Higher reports.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
This hands Donald Trump complete dominance over America's branches of
government when he takes office in January. He will be
able to push through his policies domestic or foreign with
little to know forms of resistance. And it grants Trump's
Republicans the ability to launch impeachment proceedings against his opponents.
Even the Supreme calls his weight in his favor. It's
(29:50):
mostly conservative leaning justices, providing him presidential immunity. It leaves
Democrats in the political wilderness, whilst the MAGA Agenda is
unlad at least the next two years.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Benjihil Washington MAGA Agenda if America's Agenda. If Vice President
Kamala Harris does anything, it might be run for governor
of California in twenty twenty six, because if she does,
she'll have a significant edge. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
Survey from the UC Berkeley Institute shows that nearly half
of voters might support her, with strong backing from Democrats
about seventy two percent of whom would consider her candidacy. However,
the pole indicates that support for her as governor is
lower than for her presidential run this year, with forty
six percent of likely voters showing at least some interest
in her bid for governor. In comparison, she's received fifty
(30:36):
nine percent of the votes in California for the presidential race.
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Today we honor two yards of fabric that can save
your life. Pre Tennis with more on National Seatbelt Day.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act required all
new cars to have seatbelts installed in nineteen sixty nine,
but having seatbelts and getting people to use them are
two different things. People didn't really click until nineteen eighty,
when every state, with the exception of New Hampshire, required
drivers and passengers to buckle up. The NTSB says ninety
(31:07):
two percent of us use the seat belt every day,
but males ages sixteen to twenty four are the least
likely to click it. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
For the first time in twenty years, Senate Republicans have
a new leader. Wasn't Cornyn, wasn't Scott. Was South Dakota's
John Thune. Roy O'Neil joins us with the final story
and all of its implications. Good morning, Rory, Good morning.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
Yeah, it's interesting to see what the implications are going
to be here. Some Trump supporters a bit disappointed Rick
Scott didn't get the nomination or the pick to become
the leader of the Republicans. Some have criticized Thune as
being a bit too much of the swamp that already existed.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
So we'll see how this goes.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And didn't take long for the speculation to turn to
well that's that. But you know, you might actually have
a vice president that could strong arm some things, being
ultimately in control of a So that'll just give you
the kind of clear picture that the Republicans are united
behind this pick. Probably the most reacted to pick was
(32:10):
Gates attorney general. This one might even be problem to
get confirmed, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
And was this a reaction to the Thune pick?
Speaker 11 (32:17):
You know, since the senator or since President elect Trump
has sort of been supporting the Scott choice. Yeah, it's
interesting to say, Look, he's already lost it. I think
two senators I know, Susan Collins, I think Lisa Murkowski
and Matt The Matt Gates pick could have some other issues.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
You know, that ethics report was supposed to be.
Speaker 11 (32:36):
Released tomorrow, but since you resigned, it sort of kills
that report. And let's see if maybe it's resurrected during
the confirmation hearing. Is that even something senators could be
able to do. And when I say senators, I mean
the Democratic ones will try to stop this pick.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, we were having an in depth conversation about it earlier.
There's several things. You know, the President obviously doesn't want
another Sessions by the same token, he's got other appointments
that might be attacked. If you put enough chum in
the water and get them all focused on Gates, that
could be a tactic. It could be it's a four
year dead end anyway. I think red brought up might
even be a president to Speaker Johnson, who's been so
(33:13):
loyal to the President, to get Gates's headache out out
of his chamber. There's a lot of things to tick
around here. I don't know who's right, but it's certainly
chum in the water because they can't block them all,
and this might be one they'll take the bait on
and focus.
Speaker 11 (33:29):
On, right and they get to exercise their independence. Also,
if it keeps that report sealed, that means that Gates
didn't have to resign because of the ethics investigation or
not seek re election. He was able to win again
in his deep, deep, deep red district in the Panhandle,
and then it clears the path for him to run
for governor with that ethics investigation never seeing the light
(33:53):
of day.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
All right, I guess Roy O'Neil continues your morning show
National Correspondent. I guess this goes under the headline of
you can't fire me. I quit. But Jack Smith is resigning.
Where does that leave all these cases?
Speaker 11 (34:05):
Well, he's got to do a final report, essentially, submit
a report to the current age. Merrick Garland saying this
is what I've been doing for the past eighteen months.
And then the question becomes, does that report get made public?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It doesn't have to be. That's at the discretion of
the age. We'll see what he decides to do.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I mean, a lot of moving parts.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Rory, thankfully, excuse me, something to.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Do, always staying busy. By the way, they had your
hearing on UFOs. Was there anything there? I know your
curiosity had you watch it?
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I did watch some of it. It was a bit dry.
Speaker 11 (34:37):
Again, this was about the government cover up of alleged
UFO activities, so it was a bit more about different
government agencies and yeah, but I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But that's a big statement. So it wasn't about, oh,
you want to see some bodies that you can't explain.
We got him in this warehouse, some aircraft and spaceships
you might want to It wasn't really about that as
much as whatever there is there isn't the cover up
right right?
Speaker 11 (35:02):
And why are we spent what's this line item in
the Pentagon budget for this? What is that for that
kind of a thing, because it is the Oversight Committee
that's doing these hearings and they want to see if
the government is quashing some of.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
These UAP allegations and claim.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I don't you know, I have your fascination with space,
so I've studied Mercury, Apollo, Space Shuttle, all things NASA.
I don't really take the bait on all this. You know,
are there aliens and UFOs? We took a quick one.
There was one. I don't know, maybe there was me.
I don't ever think about it, but no, and then
(35:37):
there was I guess. Ultimately Red came down. Do you
believe in UFOs and aliens?
Speaker 11 (35:45):
This was a great It's the arrogance of humanity to
think that we exist at the same time together.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah. More with Rory tomorrow. Great reporting all day long.
We'll be back five am Central, six Eastern. Go make
a difference in someone's life, cherish your own, and we'll
see you tomorrow morning for your morning show. We're all
in this together.
