Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio
five seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one
thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen
to us live in the morning, and of course we're
so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right, A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell Charny and good mine to you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I'm Ladana Harvey and I am thrilled to be filling
in on.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Your morning show. Whoops, Hello, I just knocked my own
microphone down on your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
With Michael del Jorno. I am, after all a professional,
coming to you live from Phoenix, Arizona, today and all
this week save Thanksgiving Day, where I get to get
up at about the same time to get the burden
the oven.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
There is no rest for the wicked.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
There is rest for president, former president and current President
to be Trump. Jack Smith filed a motion to drop
the felony charges connected with his alleged efforts to overturn
the twenty twenty presidential election. Soon after, he filed a
similar motion to drop all charges for the alleged efforts
to illegally store classified documents that is Florida Home.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The Supreme Court, as you know, had put both of
those cases in doubt when the justices ruled that he
had quite a bit of leeway when it comes to
presidential immunity. Now, Trump's team has applauded the decision called
for an end to what they describe as his political persecution.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But here's the deal.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
These cases might not go completely away, now.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And it doesn't really matter how you feel about the
cases or anything else.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It's just legal ease.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
At this point, Smith's motion to dismiss the January sixth
related indictment is granted. That was by US District Judge
Tanya Chuckkin, and that brings an end to the case
that he unlawfully conspired to overturn the twenty twenty loss
to President Joe Biden. Here's the thing, though, and he
(02:15):
initially was indicted on four felonies in twenty twenty three
for trying to allegedly again reverse the twenty twenty election results,
conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an
official preceding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct and official proceeding,
and conspiracy against right. Then that case went on hold
(02:37):
for months because you know, as you know, when you
have unlimited money, you have unlimited lawyers, and it's good. Apparently,
it's good to be king, as my dad would say.
That's what my dad told me when I was growing up.
Every time he told me I couldn't do something, he's, well,
it's good to be king. So Trump's team had argued
that the case should be thrown out for multiple reasons,
(02:57):
including that a former president cannot be prosecuted for actions
in office, and the Supreme Court pretty much agreed with him.
There is a little bit of nuance in there, you know.
As you know, it was extraordinary, the first ever accusation
that a president sought illegally to cling to power. I
(03:19):
guess mishandled classified information, tried to obstruct a federal investigation.
It's also historic that the cases were dismissed fifty years
after lawmakers from both parties forced Richard Nixon to resign
the presidency because of allegations of criminal conduct in office.
Half of American voters chose to return former and soon
(03:43):
to be President Trump to that high office. So the
Justice Department's position that a sitting president cannot be charged
with a crime will apply after he takes office on
January twentieth. A lot of people believe that this was
a witch hunt. A lot of people believe that this
(04:04):
was something that never should have even been considered.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I disagree a little bit.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I think that I remember watching what happened on January sixth,
and I was appalled. Now, was that all Trump's fault? No, no,
people do what they're going to do. But I was
absolutely appalled. It broke my heart. It made me think,
oh my gosh, have we broken our own democracy, which
(04:31):
is just one of the greatest things that has ever
operated pretty well on planet Earth. Is it perfect? No,
it's not going to be perfect, and that's okay. We
don't strive for perfection. We strive for really good and
with the Constitution, we have a wonderful framework in which
(04:51):
to work. Now, some of that has been a little
bit massage, some of it has been a little bit corrupted.
You could go after that on all kinds of different ways.
But still, when you talk about this country, you talk
about a country that has offered more people the opportunity
to do great things and to become something, more so
(05:16):
than any other country in the world. We are still
a hotbed of innovation. We are still what many people
look to when they're saying, you know, how do we
get people out of poverty? Well, we've had no thanks
to Congress, We've managed to do that for a lot
of people, and I would be one of them. I mean,
I lived in a trailer park. I am I'm not special,
(05:40):
I'm not better than anybody, and somehow I managed to
come out of that trailer park with a high school
education that I fairly managed to get. I took a
couple of semesters of college, decided I can't, I can't,
I can't do this, and then went on with my life,
got into radio, started doing music, hated music after a while,
(06:03):
and thought, oh, you know what, news and talk and
spoken word. To me, that's the that was the ultimate goal.
And I mean, this is all I've wanted to do
since I was five years old. And I am not
even making this up. I used to listen to a
station in El Paso, Texas called X Rock eighty and
it was.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It was the best radio station ever. Now, am I.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Somewhat clouded, possibly by you know, my five year old brain?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
But my dad came home and I had taken his
pioneer stereo apart while it was plugged in.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Why I'm not dead, I have no idea?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And I could say that throughout many many iterations of
my life. And he said, what are you doing? Although
there were more curse words in it, and I said,
I'm looking for the people, and he just looked at
me like I was insane.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
My kind of person Lodonna, thank you, Jeff, But I was.
I was looking for the people. I had.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I had the speakers taken apart, I had the radio
taken apart. I was like, where are the people? I
don't understand. It's all I've ever wanted to do. And
the reason that I love it the way that I
do is to me, radio imparts a sense of community, right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It gives us.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
It gives us outlets to talk to people, including our neighbors,
even though it's not, you know, face to face conversation,
but we get to talk to each other and we
get to enjoy each other, and we get to find
different perspectives on life and the meaning of life.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's fabulous.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I can't think of a better way to make a living, honestly.
Eight hundred and six eight eight nine five two to two.
Because of course, we can't have your morning show without
your voice.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltona.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Thanksgiving travel already underway, triple A saying about.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Eighty million, eighty million.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Of us are going to venture at least fifty miles
away from home between today and next Monday, some heading
off into rainy weather, heavy snow. And oh, there's that
cliche again, packing your patience is recommended.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I just hate cliches.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I just hate them, and I don't even know why
I bothered to say it, but it was in the
news story, and so I thought that I would bring
that up.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But most people are actually driving.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Seventy nine point five million or something are going to
be driving to their holiday destination. Which tells me that
a lot of people live, if not at home or
you know, they live somewhere close to home and they're
able to just venture out in the car. Now, if
you were getting onto a plane, it's going to be
it's going to be a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It just is.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
And especially around New York City. We learned yesterday that
they don't have enough air traffic controllers in New York.
Well that's not a problem, thanks so much. Meanwhile, in
the kitchen, Thanksgiving can be a dangerous holiday as well.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Here's free tennis.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
There's a lot of The CDC says forty eight million
people will get sick from food board illness this Thanksgiving holiday.
Cornell University's food service department says fires, burns, and slipping
falls can send you to the er, and don't underestimate
carving accidents. The slip of a knife can require stitches
or surgery, and blood is not the extra ingredient your
(09:21):
turkey needs, Experts say, start with a sharp knife, cut
away from you, and turn the lights on. I'm bree tennis,
so yeah, I'm a fan of gravy. Not blood on
the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Bird, unless it's red eye gravy.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Right well yeah, yeah, just no, let's just do turkey gravy,
Just turkey gravy without the giblets. That would be. That
would be my preference. When it comes to knives. Sharp
knives used to scare me and then I got married,
and a friend of mine, I know I'm not married anymore.
That's a story for another day, and probably not one
(09:58):
that you want to hear. Quite frankly, I got a
set of really good knives and discovered that a truly
sharp knife, if you're not used to using it, you
can cut the heck out of yourself. But once you
learn how to use a sharp knife, you will never
go back to a knife where you've got to saw
it things. You realize just how dangerous your stupid kitchen
(10:18):
knives are.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
When you use a dull one. It sharpened those knives.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Get one of those little roly things that you see
on TikTok or whatever. Make sure those things are razor sharp,
and you will have zero problems. Good news, there were
no injuries reported after the wings of a two of
two passenger jets clipped at Logan International in Boston and
arriving American Airlines plane and this is the official FAA
term contacted the wing of a Frontier Airlines jet that
(10:48):
was parked.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
At a gate yesterday. And I wonder if airplanes have
the same rules that the rest of us. Do you
know the rules of the road, If you hit.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
A parked car, it's your fault.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
So you know, how did this American Airlines pilot misjudge
enough to actually clip the wing?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's a little bit worriesent.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
The man picked a lead border enforcement efforts by President
elected Donald Trump is going to be in South Texas today.
The Border Czar Tom Homan said to meet with Republican
Governor Greg Abbott. They're going to take part in an
event on land acquired by the State of Texas in
order to add to border wall construction. Meanwhile, the good
news is illegal immigration is down, it's declining, but as
(11:31):
we hear from our good friend Michael Board, there are
still a lot of challenges for those who are guarding
the southern border.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
On Sunday, Texas State troopers a group of two hundred
people coming into the border town of Eagle Pass. Among
them were sixty unaccompanied children, some as young as two
years old. Video shows a bilingual cop asking one her age.
That little girl in Spanish says her parents are already
in the United States. But the group was far from
just Central and South Americans. Six were from a pair
(11:59):
of West Amrican nations. DPS says in a statement that
highlights the need for action to address the ongoing border
crisis on Michael Board.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You know, it's so interesting to me that somebody would
send their kids across the border illegally, even if they're
here in the United States, and not know who was
in charge of them. All of these kids, all of
these unaccompanied miners, they end up in really bad situations.
(12:31):
Bad horrible things happen to women who are crossing the
border and they're not with a husband or brothers or
anything else. Terrible terrible things. Living in San Diego for
as long as I have or did right along the border,
and I'm a border kid, I mean I spent my
time in El Paso as a kid in Canyon, Texas,
not a border city, but still it's you know, Texas
(12:55):
is a border state, and so you saw the effects
of illegal immigration as opposed to legal immigration. Now, I
think we all know that the border is broken as
it is, it doesn't work. This is not a this
is not a situation that we can allow to continue.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So the whole thing needs to be revamped.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But it's so scary how many of these kids are
just kind of disappearing into the United States and we.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Don't know where they are.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
And I you know, I would put it to you
that if you're a parent, and even if you're not
a parent, you're an American, you don't want something bad
to happen to kids. You know, they're they're not making
this journey. A two year old did not decide to
cross the border in Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
That did not happen.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So, you know, we have nothing but empathy and concern
in not knowing what is happening to these kids, what's
happening on the way, and what's happening when they get here,
where are they going? Are you know, praise God, they
would be able to find their families.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But it's very frightening.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
And considering the you know, disgusting underbelly of child sex trafficking,
it scares me to death for these kids. And I
would sure, I would sure prefer that we do something
at the border that was that enables us to number one,
discourage this sort of thing, because we don't want people
(14:28):
coming across the border illegally. And number two, if you know,
if a family is here in America and they're here legally,
and their kids are in Mexico and they want their
kids with them, take them through Santy Sedro. Take them
through Laredo, take them through No Gallas in Arizona, take
them through a border crossing, so that we know where
(14:50):
these kids are, where they're headed, how to get them there,
et cetera. It's just incredibly frightening. Another one of the
top five stories is the Menendez brothers. So right now
they are still behind bars. You remember yesterday we were
talking about Eric and Lyle who had to appear virtually
in an LA courtroom in a bid for freedom. Here's
(15:11):
their attorney, impassioned, please with the judge to send the
brothers home.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And like I said, very moving. All right.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So that's Mark Garrigos and he is the attorney for
the Menendez brothers. He said the hearing was emotional. Family
members were pleading for their release. They're serving life for
the nineteen eighty nine murders of their parents in Beverly Hills,
LA County. DA recently recommended that they be re sentenced
based on new evidence that shows that they may have
(15:45):
been sexually abused by their father for years. But the
newly elected DA, and this is where this is going
to get kind of lost in translation, says he needs
a little more time to look at the case, and
so a new re sentencing hearing is set for late January.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Hey, this is John wattson My Morning Show. Is your
Morning Show with Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning Show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern in 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.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I think if you you could, you could swing a
cat and hit somebody who has the same kind of
American story, somebody who like him. He grew up in
the South Side of Chicago. You know, there is there
is poverty in his background. And yet you persevere and
you grow, and this country offers you the opportunity to
do so in a way that is that is absolutely amazing.
(16:54):
There's really nothing you can't do. The only thing that
will stop you, really is you. And we love that
about America. I know I sound like one of those
flagwaven you know kind of girls, and I didn't used
to be. I used to be a birkenstock wearing you know,
hippie chick from you know, watching The Grateful Dead, thinking
(17:15):
that I knew everything, And it was as I got
older that I realized that I knew less and less
every year. And I also realized, though, that for all
of my cavetching about this amazing country, I have been
able to support myself and support the rest of my
family my way doing it with a high school education. Yeah,
(17:38):
a couple of semesters of college here or there, but
nothing to speak of.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I don't have a degree.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
And what an amazing opportunity this country afforded me. And
it affords everybody the opportunity. Not everybody takes advantage of it,
and that's unfortunate. But you got to stick with it, man,
You stick with it, and then suddenly, like him, you
own a home and you're going, wow, hold on, how
did this happen? It's fabulous. I love it. It is thirty
(18:03):
five after the hour on your morning show on the
air and everywhere on your iHeartRadio app. And if you
hit that red microphone button on the iHeart Radio app,
you can talk directly to us. LaDonna Harvey is my name.
I am in for Michael del Jorno this morning, and
we can't have your morning show without your voice, So
give us a call. Eight hundred and six eight eight
nine five two to two. What have you done to
(18:27):
pull yourself out of poverty? Maybe you had a you know,
you had a life and a marriage and suddenly there
was a divorce and things changed. Did you have the
opportunity to make your life better even though life changed
while you weren't paying attention, or you were paying attention
and you couldn't stop it from changing. Because I think
we're all in that boat. I never imagined that I
(18:49):
would be divorced, and yet here I am, and I'm fine.
You know, I'm absolutely fine. How have you overcome adversity?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
What have you done?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I'm so curious eight hundred six eight eight nine five
two two. I guess I've got a kind of a
nostalgia thing going on. Because we're headed into Thanksgiving. I
have the privilege of making Thanksgiving dinner for family, and
even though I'm dreading it a little bit because I
am not the world's greatest cook, and the problem is
that I'm the world's messiest cook. So I almost need
(19:19):
somebody to come in and clean up after me while
I'm cooking, because I'm not like a cooking show I am,
you know, nothing like that. There's no slow mo of
me sipping a delicious gravy out of a taste or spoon.
There's no Nigella. No, I'm a whirlwind of chaos and
disorder in the kitchen. So I need Maybe I could
(19:43):
hire somebody to just you know what, wherever I'm not
in the kitchen, you should be and pick that up
for me. But I'm feeling a little nostalgic and feeling
a little thankful as we get into this Thanksgiving season
and head into Christmas about.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
All of the things that we do have.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And you know, a lot of people upset over the
election results are tuning out the news entirely, which I
don't disagree with this show, notwithstanding, you have to be
able to check out from negativity and from talking about negativity,
and this season kind of gives us an opportunity to
(20:19):
get out of our own heads and start getting into others.
You know, a lot of people do a lot of
charity work during the holidays. It's part of the way
that we give back as a nation. We are the
most generous nation in the world with both our time
and our money, and we like helping other people. You
see people who will, you know, flood to the Salvation
(20:42):
Army to help feed homeless people on Thanksgiving Day, to
prepare meals for families and give them away at food banks,
et cetera, so that those families can also have what
the rest of us have. We are generous, we are kind,
we are giving, and it's so funny. I was talking
to I know this sounds like I'm name dropping. I
(21:03):
was talking to Stephen Fry. He did a road trip
through America and did a TV show about it that
I've actually never watched, but I was on the air
with him in London just talking about America, and he
was talking about how he didn't just go to you know,
Chicago and New York and.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Miami and LA.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
He went into the heart of the country to kind
of see what was what America was about. And one
of the things that he said that struck him was
that Americans on the whole were very kind, very excited
to talk to somebody from another country who was kind
of interested in hours, loved to tell their stories, were
(21:48):
very very giving, and we are like that.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We have always been like that.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
We're maybe snarky with each other, and I'm as snarky
as the rest of them. But you know, I've done
volunteer stuff with the Salvation Army. I was on the
board of the Salvation Army in Chulavista, California, and you know,
very interested in helping people overcome addiction.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
And things like that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You know, is it anything that I know much about,
not from personal experience myself, but I have a brother
who is an addict, I have a stepbrother who is
an addict, and I've dealt with the blowback of those
for most of my adult life. So that made me
want to reach out to the Salvation Army and Tulavisa.
That made me want to help them get all of
(22:37):
the programs together that they get together, including getting people
off the streets and helping people become sober. It's just
a kind We are a kind and generous nation when
we're not snarking at each other over stupid politics. Eight
hundred and six eight eight nine to five two too.
So many opportunities for all of us to give the
(23:00):
Thanksgiving holiday, and you know, you just gotta absolutely love it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's just a It's a great time to be an American.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
It is forty minutes after the hour I'm Loadonna Harvey
in for Michael Del jorno on the air and everywhere
on that free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
If you're listening on it.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Just click that talkback Mike, because we don't have your
morning show without your voice.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
How are you feeling heading into the holidays?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Finances, economy, YadA, YadA, aside?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Are you excited to see the people that you love?
Eight hundred and.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Six eight eight nine, five two to two for Michael
del Jorneau right here on your morning show. Oh and
you know what, I'm sorry, Jeff, I couldn't hear what
you were saying, so.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That is my fault. Yeah, I have a call. A
gentleman named Justin calling from Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Oh awesome, you're you're where I am right now? Good morning, Justin?
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Good morning, sweetie. I just called in to chime in
about the American and you're you're from Phoenix. So I
grew up on Seventh Street in Van Beer, ninth Street,
McKinley downtown area in the mid eighties and nineties. So
if you know that area, it wasn't too well as
(24:16):
it is now.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Oh no, I drove through that area. I was doing
radio in Phoenix. In the late eighties early nineties. And yeah,
it used to be. I mean it was prostitution and drugs.
That's that's the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Yeah, I slept with cockerroaches, as my grandfather would tell me.
And he got me out of the Dupavilla projects and
and he just gave me h because I grew up
and I broken home.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
With no.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
With parents not so instrumental. And it was just that
time of that error where we grew up, when the amount
of people were really paying attention to their children. But
make a long story short, I overcame. I overcame, you know,
a lot of up to the point where I made
a six stick. Your landscaping company in Arizona call Landscape
(25:06):
are us team, the people you can trust to rely
on all your landscaping needs. And and I and I
and the American dream is possible for everybody if you're
willing to work hard and and and put your boots
and strap them up and get to work. And it's
really beautiful. It is I call it, tell you and
give you my little story.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Oh that's so nice.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
And by the way, I'm broadcasting not far from your
neighborhood that you grew up in It's changed a lot.
I'm very close to that neighborhood. As a matter of fact,
I'm right at Van Buren, but I'm in the I'm
in the forties right now. But yeah, if it's there
is nothing that you can't do. And that is the
(25:48):
promise that you get when you are fortunate enough to
be born in this country.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chono.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
You know what I bet if we were to pull
anybody listening anywhere in the country to this radio station
right now, almost everybody has a story about how they've
overcome something and we're able to become what they are today,
just quite simply because you are afforded that opportunity in
(26:17):
the United States more so than you are anywhere else.
Are we a perfect nation? No, are we ever going
to be a perfect nation? No, who's who's going to
be perfect? Nobody is. But we always strive to be better.
And that's the most important thing that you know, as
I head into this Thanksgiving week, that's the most important
thing that I think is out there for all of
(26:38):
us to remember. We have an incredible opportunity in this nation,
and man, it is just so cool It's cool to
be us.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
It's good to be us.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Eight hundred and six eight eight nine to five two
two LaDonna Harvey and for Michael Del Giorno Today on
the air and everywhere on that free iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
App that talkback.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Mike and you two can be a part of this
show because it's your voice, it's your morning show. I
saw a great story. I love sciencey stuff because I'm
not a sciencey girl, but I grew up reading a
lot of science fiction. That was my escape from poverty
or or just you know, general Melei's When I was
a kid, it was the library, and I love science stuff. Now,
(27:24):
the European Space Agency has apparently given the go ahead
for initial work on a mission to visit an asteroid
called two Apoffice. We're just going to abbreviate that to Apoffice.
It's if it's approved at a key meeting next year.
There is a robotic spacecraft that they want to shoot
(27:45):
off into the atmosphere and beyond. It's the Rapid Apofice
Mission for Space Safety, also called RAMSES.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
We'll just keep it simple, shall we.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It'll rendezvous with the asteroid in February of twenty twenty nine. Now,
Apafas is not it's not headed directly for Earth, and
it's probably not going to get It's not going to
do anything if it did. It's about three hundred and
forty meters wide, so Empire State building size. And if
you think that I just pulled that out of my
rear end, you're wrong. I've read that in the story
(28:20):
that I got about it. If it were to hit Earth,
it could cause wholesale destruction hundreds of miles from the
impact site. It would be like tens or possibly hundreds
of nuclear weapons, depending on the yield of your favorite
nuclear weapon. Apafas is not going to hit Earth in
twenty twenty nine. It's going to pass at a safe
(28:41):
distance about nineteen thousand, seven hundred and ninety four miles,
which is a pretty close call.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
When you're talking about space. But it's a big object.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
It's coming close and it will be visible with the
naked eye. So NASA and the European Space Agency have
seized an opportunity to send a robotic spacecraft to kind
of rendezvous with it and learn more about it. Hopefully
the mission will help inform any effort to try to
deflect an asteroid that is a threat to Earth should
(29:12):
we need to in the future. There was about sixty
six million years ago an asteroid the size of a
small city that hit Earth and that brought about the
global extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. And this
is something that you know, when we were talking about space,
it could happen at any time right constant danger of
(29:33):
being hit by asteroids debris from the formation of the
Solar System located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids come in many shapes and sizes, most of them
pretty darn small, but some of the bigger ones are
the ones that we want to look out for. You know,
hundreds of kilometers across, there are one to two million
(29:55):
asteroids larger than a kilometer and millions of smaller b
Body's in that asteroid belt, and the space rocks.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Kind of feel each other's.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Gravitational pull and the tug of Jupiter on one side
and the inner planets on the other, and every once
in a while an asteroid kind of gets thrown out
of orbit and hurdles toward the inner Solar System. They're
called NEOs near Earth objects. They're about thirty five thousand
of those potentially hazardous one.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
It's about twenty three hundred.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
They have orbits that kind of intersect ours, and they're
large enough to pose a real threat. So you know,
they're trying to shoot things into space to kind of
figure out, you know, what do we do if armageddon
kind of comes to fruition?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Is there a way to actually.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Change the way that an as asteroid is trajectory, change
its trajectory toward us and deflect it so that it
doesn't hit us.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I love space.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I love science, even though I'm not you know, obviously
I'm not a sciencey girl, but I'm always so intrigued
by it. It's why I'm intrigued by Elon Musk. And
you know the fact that he can land a rocket
after he shoots it off, he could land it back
on the planet with almost no trouble at all. I mean,
(31:17):
you see those things and you think, man, considering I
was born in nineteen sixty six, I didn't know that
we would get here. I feel like NASA's kind of
drop things a little bit in that, you know, we
don't have we don't have space shuttles anymore. Obviously we
had space shuttle disasters, but we don't really look at
(31:39):
outer space with the same sense of wonder that we
did when I was a kid, you know, outer space,
it was, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Know, are there other planets?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Are there other other people, other life forms out there?
And we don't seem to be as curious now as
we were then. And I find that a little bit sad,
but also also very intriguing because there's so much more,
I think.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Than we that we could do.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
To get out there and get more information. All Right,
I do want to talk a little bit about a
new poll concerning Ukrainians, because we've been funding very on
a very large scale, this war in Ukraine. Of this conflict,
Russia invaded Ukraine, which used to be part of the
(32:30):
Soviet Union, and gained independence, I want to say, in
what nineteen ninety something like that, and Russia wants it back.
Russia wants to get the band back together because the
might of the Soviet Union, and Vladimir Putin was a
key person in the Soviet Union, keep in mind, and
he is.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
The you know, the head, he is the guy.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
He he has invaded before, he's annexed Crimea. He wants
to annex Ukraine. Ukrainians don't necessarily want to want to
be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
They just don't. They don't. And do you blame them? No,
I don't blame them. We're all in this together. This
is Your Morning Show with Michael Vintel, Choano
Speaker 6 (33:19):
H
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio
five seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one
thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen
to us live in the morning, and of course we're
so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right, A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell Charny and good mine to you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I'm Ladana Harvey and I am thrilled to be filling
in on.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Your morning show. Whoops, Hello, I just knocked my own
microphone down on your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
With Michael del Jorno. I am, after all a professional,
coming to you live from Phoenix, Arizona, today and all
this week save Thanksgiving Day, where I get to get
up at about the same time to get the burden
the oven.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
There is no rest for the wicked.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
There is rest for president, former president and current President
to be Trump. Jack Smith filed a motion to drop
the felony charges connected with his alleged efforts to overturn
the twenty twenty presidential election. Soon after, he filed a
similar motion to drop all charges for the alleged efforts
to illegally store classified documents that is Florida Home.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The Supreme Court, as you know, had put both of
those cases in doubt when the justices ruled that he
had quite a bit of leeway when it comes to
presidential immunity. Now, Trump's team has applauded the decision called
for an end to what they describe as his political persecution.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But here's the deal.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
These cases might not go completely away, now.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And it doesn't really matter how you feel about the
cases or anything else.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It's just legal ease.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
At this point, Smith's motion to dismiss the January sixth
related indictment is granted. That was by US District Judge
Tanya Chuckkin, and that brings an end to the case
that he unlawfully conspired to overturn the twenty twenty loss
to President Joe Biden. Here's the thing, though, and he
(02:15):
initially was indicted on four felonies in twenty twenty three
for trying to allegedly again reverse the twenty twenty election results,
conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an
official preceding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct and official proceeding,
and conspiracy against right. Then that case went on hold
(02:37):
for months because you know, as you know, when you
have unlimited money, you have unlimited lawyers, and it's good. Apparently,
it's good to be king, as my dad would say.
That's what my dad told me when I was growing up.
Every time he told me I couldn't do something, he's, well,
it's good to be king. So Trump's team had argued
that the case should be thrown out for multiple reasons,
(02:57):
including that a former president cannot be prosecuted for actions
in office, and the Supreme Court pretty much agreed with him.
There is a little bit of nuance in there, you know.
As you know, it was extraordinary, the first ever accusation
that a president sought illegally to cling to power. I
(03:19):
guess mishandled classified information, tried to obstruct a federal investigation.
It's also historic that the cases were dismissed fifty years
after lawmakers from both parties forced Richard Nixon to resign
the presidency because of allegations of criminal conduct in office.
Half of American voters chose to return former and soon
(03:43):
to be President Trump to that high office. So the
Justice Department's position that a sitting president cannot be charged
with a crime will apply after he takes office on
January twentieth. A lot of people believe that this was
a witch hunt. A lot of people believe that this
(04:04):
was something that never should have even been considered.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I disagree a little bit.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I think that I remember watching what happened on January sixth,
and I was appalled. Now, was that all Trump's fault? No, no,
people do what they're going to do. But I was
absolutely appalled. It broke my heart. It made me think,
oh my gosh, have we broken our own democracy, which
(04:31):
is just one of the greatest things that has ever
operated pretty well on planet Earth. Is it perfect? No,
it's not going to be perfect, and that's okay. We
don't strive for perfection. We strive for really good and
with the Constitution, we have a wonderful framework in which
(04:51):
to work. Now, some of that has been a little
bit massage, some of it has been a little bit corrupted.
You could go after that on all kinds of different ways.
But still, when you talk about this country, you talk
about a country that has offered more people the opportunity
to do great things and to become something, more so
(05:16):
than any other country in the world. We are still
a hotbed of innovation. We are still what many people
look to when they're saying, you know, how do we
get people out of poverty? Well, we've had no thanks
to Congress, We've managed to do that for a lot
of people, and I would be one of them. I mean,
I lived in a trailer park. I am I'm not special,
(05:40):
I'm not better than anybody, and somehow I managed to
come out of that trailer park with a high school
education that I fairly managed to get. I took a
couple of semesters of college, decided I can't, I can't,
I can't do this, and then went on with my life,
got into radio, started doing music, hated music after a while,
(06:03):
and thought, oh, you know what, news and talk and
spoken word. To me, that's the that was the ultimate goal.
And I mean, this is all I've wanted to do
since I was five years old. And I am not
even making this up. I used to listen to a
station in El Paso, Texas called X Rock eighty and
it was.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It was the best radio station ever. Now, am I.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Somewhat clouded, possibly by you know, my five year old brain?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
But my dad came home and I had taken his
pioneer stereo apart while it was plugged in.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Why I'm not dead, I have no idea?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And I could say that throughout many many iterations of
my life. And he said, what are you doing? Although
there were more curse words in it, and I said,
I'm looking for the people, and he just looked at
me like I was insane.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
My kind of person Lodonna, thank you, Jeff, But I was.
I was looking for the people. I had.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I had the speakers taken apart, I had the radio
taken apart. I was like, where are the people? I
don't understand. It's all I've ever wanted to do. And
the reason that I love it the way that I
do is to me, radio imparts a sense of community, right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It gives us.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
It gives us outlets to talk to people, including our neighbors,
even though it's not, you know, face to face conversation,
but we get to talk to each other and we
get to enjoy each other, and we get to find
different perspectives on life and the meaning of life.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's fabulous.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I can't think of a better way to make a living, honestly.
Eight hundred and six eight eight nine five two to two.
Because of course, we can't have your morning show without
your voice.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltona.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Thanksgiving travel already underway, triple A saying about.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Eighty million, eighty million.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Of us are going to venture at least fifty miles
away from home between today and next Monday, some heading
off into rainy weather, heavy snow. And oh, there's that
cliche again, packing your patience is recommended.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I just hate cliches.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I just hate them, and I don't even know why
I bothered to say it, but it was in the
news story, and so I thought that I would bring
that up.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But most people are actually driving.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Seventy nine point five million or something are going to
be driving to their holiday destination. Which tells me that
a lot of people live, if not at home or
you know, they live somewhere close to home and they're
able to just venture out in the car. Now, if
you were getting onto a plane, it's going to be
it's going to be a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It just is.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
And especially around New York City. We learned yesterday that
they don't have enough air traffic controllers in New York.
Well that's not a problem, thanks so much. Meanwhile, in
the kitchen, Thanksgiving can be a dangerous holiday as well.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Here's free tennis.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
There's a lot of The CDC says forty eight million
people will get sick from food board illness this Thanksgiving holiday.
Cornell University's food service department says fires, burns, and slipping
falls can send you to the er, and don't underestimate
carving accidents. The slip of a knife can require stitches
or surgery, and blood is not the extra ingredient your
(09:21):
turkey needs, Experts say, start with a sharp knife, cut
away from you, and turn the lights on. I'm bree tennis,
so yeah, I'm a fan of gravy. Not blood on
the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Bird, unless it's red eye gravy.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Right well yeah, yeah, just no, let's just do turkey gravy,
Just turkey gravy without the giblets. That would be. That
would be my preference. When it comes to knives. Sharp
knives used to scare me and then I got married,
and a friend of mine, I know I'm not married anymore.
That's a story for another day, and probably not one
(09:58):
that you want to hear. Quite frankly, I got a
set of really good knives and discovered that a truly
sharp knife, if you're not used to using it, you
can cut the heck out of yourself. But once you
learn how to use a sharp knife, you will never
go back to a knife where you've got to saw
it things. You realize just how dangerous your stupid kitchen
(10:18):
knives are.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
When you use a dull one. It sharpened those knives.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Get one of those little roly things that you see
on TikTok or whatever. Make sure those things are razor sharp,
and you will have zero problems. Good news, there were
no injuries reported after the wings of a two of
two passenger jets clipped at Logan International in Boston and
arriving American Airlines plane and this is the official FAA
term contacted the wing of a Frontier Airlines jet that
(10:48):
was parked.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
At a gate yesterday. And I wonder if airplanes have
the same rules that the rest of us. Do you
know the rules of the road, If you hit.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
A parked car, it's your fault.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
So you know, how did this American Airlines pilot misjudge
enough to actually clip the wing?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's a little bit worriesent.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
The man picked a lead border enforcement efforts by President
elected Donald Trump is going to be in South Texas today.
The Border Czar Tom Homan said to meet with Republican
Governor Greg Abbott. They're going to take part in an
event on land acquired by the State of Texas in
order to add to border wall construction. Meanwhile, the good
news is illegal immigration is down, it's declining, but as
(11:31):
we hear from our good friend Michael Board, there are
still a lot of challenges for those who are guarding
the southern border.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
On Sunday, Texas State troopers a group of two hundred
people coming into the border town of Eagle Pass. Among
them were sixty unaccompanied children, some as young as two
years old. Video shows a bilingual cop asking one her age.
That little girl in Spanish says her parents are already
in the United States. But the group was far from
just Central and South Americans. Six were from a pair
(11:59):
of West Amrican nations. DPS says in a statement that
highlights the need for action to address the ongoing border
crisis on Michael Board.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You know, it's so interesting to me that somebody would
send their kids across the border illegally, even if they're
here in the United States, and not know who was
in charge of them. All of these kids, all of
these unaccompanied miners, they end up in really bad situations.
(12:31):
Bad horrible things happen to women who are crossing the
border and they're not with a husband or brothers or
anything else. Terrible terrible things. Living in San Diego for
as long as I have or did right along the border,
and I'm a border kid, I mean I spent my
time in El Paso as a kid in Canyon, Texas,
not a border city, but still it's you know, Texas
(12:55):
is a border state, and so you saw the effects
of illegal immigration as opposed to legal immigration. Now, I
think we all know that the border is broken as
it is, it doesn't work. This is not a this
is not a situation that we can allow to continue.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So the whole thing needs to be revamped.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But it's so scary how many of these kids are
just kind of disappearing into the United States and we.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Don't know where they are.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
And I you know, I would put it to you
that if you're a parent, and even if you're not
a parent, you're an American, you don't want something bad
to happen to kids. You know, they're they're not making
this journey. A two year old did not decide to
cross the border in Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
That did not happen.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So, you know, we have nothing but empathy and concern
in not knowing what is happening to these kids, what's
happening on the way, and what's happening when they get here,
where are they going? Are you know, praise God, they
would be able to find their families.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But it's very frightening.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
And considering the you know, disgusting underbelly of child sex trafficking,
it scares me to death for these kids. And I
would sure, I would sure prefer that we do something
at the border that was that enables us to number one,
discourage this sort of thing, because we don't want people
(14:28):
coming across the border illegally. And number two, if you know,
if a family is here in America and they're here legally,
and their kids are in Mexico and they want their
kids with them, take them through Santy Sedro. Take them
through Laredo, take them through No Gallas in Arizona, take
them through a border crossing, so that we know where
(14:50):
these kids are, where they're headed, how to get them there,
et cetera. It's just incredibly frightening. Another one of the
top five stories is the Menendez brothers. So right now
they are still behind bars. You remember yesterday we were
talking about Eric and Lyle who had to appear virtually
in an LA courtroom in a bid for freedom. Here's
(15:11):
their attorney, impassioned, please with the judge to send the
brothers home.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And like I said, very moving. All right.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So that's Mark Garrigos and he is the attorney for
the Menendez brothers. He said the hearing was emotional. Family
members were pleading for their release. They're serving life for
the nineteen eighty nine murders of their parents in Beverly Hills,
LA County. DA recently recommended that they be re sentenced
based on new evidence that shows that they may have
(15:45):
been sexually abused by their father for years. But the
newly elected DA, and this is where this is going
to get kind of lost in translation, says he needs
a little more time to look at the case, and
so a new re sentencing hearing is set for late January.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Hey, this is John wattson My Morning Show. Is your
Morning Show with Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning Show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern in 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.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I think if you you could, you could swing a
cat and hit somebody who has the same kind of
American story, somebody who like him. He grew up in
the South Side of Chicago. You know, there is there
is poverty in his background. And yet you persevere and
you grow, and this country offers you the opportunity to
do so in a way that is that is absolutely amazing.
(16:54):
There's really nothing you can't do. The only thing that
will stop you, really is you. And we love that
about America. I know I sound like one of those
flagwaven you know kind of girls, and I didn't used
to be. I used to be a birkenstock wearing you know,
hippie chick from you know, watching The Grateful Dead, thinking
(17:15):
that I knew everything, And it was as I got
older that I realized that I knew less and less
every year. And I also realized, though, that for all
of my cavetching about this amazing country, I have been
able to support myself and support the rest of my
family my way doing it with a high school education. Yeah,
(17:38):
a couple of semesters of college here or there, but
nothing to speak of.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I don't have a degree.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
And what an amazing opportunity this country afforded me. And
it affords everybody the opportunity. Not everybody takes advantage of it,
and that's unfortunate. But you got to stick with it, man,
You stick with it, and then suddenly, like him, you
own a home and you're going, wow, hold on, how
did this happen? It's fabulous. I love it. It is thirty
(18:03):
five after the hour on your morning show on the
air and everywhere on your iHeartRadio app. And if you
hit that red microphone button on the iHeart Radio app,
you can talk directly to us. LaDonna Harvey is my name.
I am in for Michael del Jorno this morning, and
we can't have your morning show without your voice, So
give us a call. Eight hundred and six eight eight
nine five two to two. What have you done to
(18:27):
pull yourself out of poverty? Maybe you had a you know,
you had a life and a marriage and suddenly there
was a divorce and things changed. Did you have the
opportunity to make your life better even though life changed
while you weren't paying attention, or you were paying attention
and you couldn't stop it from changing. Because I think
we're all in that boat. I never imagined that I
(18:49):
would be divorced, and yet here I am, and I'm fine.
You know, I'm absolutely fine. How have you overcome adversity?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
What have you done?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I'm so curious eight hundred six eight eight nine five
two two. I guess I've got a kind of a
nostalgia thing going on. Because we're headed into Thanksgiving. I
have the privilege of making Thanksgiving dinner for family, and
even though I'm dreading it a little bit because I
am not the world's greatest cook, and the problem is
that I'm the world's messiest cook. So I almost need
(19:19):
somebody to come in and clean up after me while
I'm cooking, because I'm not like a cooking show I am,
you know, nothing like that. There's no slow mo of
me sipping a delicious gravy out of a taste or spoon.
There's no Nigella. No, I'm a whirlwind of chaos and
disorder in the kitchen. So I need Maybe I could
(19:43):
hire somebody to just you know what, wherever I'm not
in the kitchen, you should be and pick that up
for me. But I'm feeling a little nostalgic and feeling
a little thankful as we get into this Thanksgiving season
and head into Christmas about.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
All of the things that we do have.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And you know, a lot of people upset over the
election results are tuning out the news entirely, which I
don't disagree with this show, notwithstanding, you have to be
able to check out from negativity and from talking about negativity,
and this season kind of gives us an opportunity to
(20:19):
get out of our own heads and start getting into others.
You know, a lot of people do a lot of
charity work during the holidays. It's part of the way
that we give back as a nation. We are the
most generous nation in the world with both our time
and our money, and we like helping other people. You
see people who will, you know, flood to the Salvation
(20:42):
Army to help feed homeless people on Thanksgiving Day, to
prepare meals for families and give them away at food banks,
et cetera, so that those families can also have what
the rest of us have. We are generous, we are kind,
we are giving, and it's so funny. I was talking
to I know this sounds like I'm name dropping. I
(21:03):
was talking to Stephen Fry. He did a road trip
through America and did a TV show about it that
I've actually never watched, but I was on the air
with him in London just talking about America, and he
was talking about how he didn't just go to you know,
Chicago and New York and.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Miami and LA.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
He went into the heart of the country to kind
of see what was what America was about. And one
of the things that he said that struck him was
that Americans on the whole were very kind, very excited
to talk to somebody from another country who was kind
of interested in hours, loved to tell their stories, were
(21:48):
very very giving, and we are like that.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We have always been like that.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
We're maybe snarky with each other, and I'm as snarky
as the rest of them. But you know, I've done
volunteer stuff with the Salvation Army. I was on the
board of the Salvation Army in Chulavista, California, and you know,
very interested in helping people overcome addiction.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
And things like that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You know, is it anything that I know much about,
not from personal experience myself, but I have a brother
who is an addict, I have a stepbrother who is
an addict, and I've dealt with the blowback of those
for most of my adult life. So that made me
want to reach out to the Salvation Army and Tulavisa.
That made me want to help them get all of
(22:37):
the programs together that they get together, including getting people
off the streets and helping people become sober. It's just
a kind We are a kind and generous nation when
we're not snarking at each other over stupid politics. Eight
hundred and six eight eight nine to five two too.
So many opportunities for all of us to give the
(23:00):
Thanksgiving holiday, and you know, you just gotta absolutely love it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's just a It's a great time to be an American.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
It is forty minutes after the hour I'm Loadonna Harvey
in for Michael Del jorno on the air and everywhere
on that free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
If you're listening on it.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Just click that talkback Mike, because we don't have your
morning show without your voice.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
How are you feeling heading into the holidays?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Finances, economy, YadA, YadA, aside?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Are you excited to see the people that you love?
Eight hundred and.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Six eight eight nine, five two to two for Michael
del Jorneau right here on your morning show. Oh and
you know what, I'm sorry, Jeff, I couldn't hear what
you were saying, so.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That is my fault. Yeah, I have a call. A
gentleman named Justin calling from Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Oh awesome, you're you're where I am right now? Good morning, Justin?
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Good morning, sweetie. I just called in to chime in
about the American and you're you're from Phoenix. So I
grew up on Seventh Street in Van Beer, ninth Street,
McKinley downtown area in the mid eighties and nineties. So
if you know that area, it wasn't too well as
(24:16):
it is now.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Oh no, I drove through that area. I was doing
radio in Phoenix. In the late eighties early nineties. And yeah,
it used to be. I mean it was prostitution and drugs.
That's that's the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Yeah, I slept with cockerroaches, as my grandfather would tell me.
And he got me out of the Dupavilla projects and
and he just gave me h because I grew up
and I broken home.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
With no.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
With parents not so instrumental. And it was just that
time of that error where we grew up, when the amount
of people were really paying attention to their children. But
make a long story short, I overcame. I overcame, you know,
a lot of up to the point where I made
a six stick. Your landscaping company in Arizona call Landscape
(25:06):
are us team, the people you can trust to rely
on all your landscaping needs. And and I and I
and the American dream is possible for everybody if you're
willing to work hard and and and put your boots
and strap them up and get to work. And it's
really beautiful. It is I call it, tell you and
give you my little story.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Oh that's so nice.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
And by the way, I'm broadcasting not far from your
neighborhood that you grew up in It's changed a lot.
I'm very close to that neighborhood. As a matter of fact,
I'm right at Van Buren, but I'm in the I'm
in the forties right now. But yeah, if it's there
is nothing that you can't do. And that is the
(25:48):
promise that you get when you are fortunate enough to
be born in this country.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chono.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
You know what I bet if we were to pull
anybody listening anywhere in the country to this radio station
right now, almost everybody has a story about how they've
overcome something and we're able to become what they are today,
just quite simply because you are afforded that opportunity in
(26:17):
the United States more so than you are anywhere else.
Are we a perfect nation? No, are we ever going
to be a perfect nation? No, who's who's going to
be perfect? Nobody is. But we always strive to be better.
And that's the most important thing that you know, as
I head into this Thanksgiving week, that's the most important
thing that I think is out there for all of
(26:38):
us to remember. We have an incredible opportunity in this nation,
and man, it is just so cool It's cool to
be us.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
It's good to be us.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Eight hundred and six eight eight nine to five two
two LaDonna Harvey and for Michael Del Giorno Today on
the air and everywhere on that free iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
App that talkback.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Mike and you two can be a part of this
show because it's your voice, it's your morning show. I
saw a great story. I love sciencey stuff because I'm
not a sciencey girl, but I grew up reading a
lot of science fiction. That was my escape from poverty
or or just you know, general Melei's When I was
a kid, it was the library, and I love science stuff. Now,
(27:24):
the European Space Agency has apparently given the go ahead
for initial work on a mission to visit an asteroid
called two Apoffice. We're just going to abbreviate that to Apoffice.
It's if it's approved at a key meeting next year.
There is a robotic spacecraft that they want to shoot
(27:45):
off into the atmosphere and beyond. It's the Rapid Apofice
Mission for Space Safety, also called RAMSES.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
We'll just keep it simple, shall we.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It'll rendezvous with the asteroid in February of twenty twenty nine. Now,
Apafas is not it's not headed directly for Earth, and
it's probably not going to get It's not going to
do anything if it did. It's about three hundred and
forty meters wide, so Empire State building size. And if
you think that I just pulled that out of my
rear end, you're wrong. I've read that in the story
(28:20):
that I got about it. If it were to hit Earth,
it could cause wholesale destruction hundreds of miles from the
impact site. It would be like tens or possibly hundreds
of nuclear weapons, depending on the yield of your favorite
nuclear weapon. Apafas is not going to hit Earth in
twenty twenty nine. It's going to pass at a safe
(28:41):
distance about nineteen thousand, seven hundred and ninety four miles,
which is a pretty close call.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
When you're talking about space. But it's a big object.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
It's coming close and it will be visible with the
naked eye. So NASA and the European Space Agency have
seized an opportunity to send a robotic spacecraft to kind
of rendezvous with it and learn more about it. Hopefully
the mission will help inform any effort to try to
deflect an asteroid that is a threat to Earth should
(29:12):
we need to in the future. There was about sixty
six million years ago an asteroid the size of a
small city that hit Earth and that brought about the
global extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. And this
is something that you know, when we were talking about space,
it could happen at any time right constant danger of
(29:33):
being hit by asteroids debris from the formation of the
Solar System located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids come in many shapes and sizes, most of them
pretty darn small, but some of the bigger ones are
the ones that we want to look out for. You know,
hundreds of kilometers across, there are one to two million
(29:55):
asteroids larger than a kilometer and millions of smaller b
Body's in that asteroid belt, and the space rocks.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Kind of feel each other's.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Gravitational pull and the tug of Jupiter on one side
and the inner planets on the other, and every once
in a while an asteroid kind of gets thrown out
of orbit and hurdles toward the inner Solar System. They're
called NEOs near Earth objects. They're about thirty five thousand
of those potentially hazardous one.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
It's about twenty three hundred.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
They have orbits that kind of intersect ours, and they're
large enough to pose a real threat. So you know,
they're trying to shoot things into space to kind of
figure out, you know, what do we do if armageddon
kind of comes to fruition?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Is there a way to actually.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Change the way that an as asteroid is trajectory, change
its trajectory toward us and deflect it so that it
doesn't hit us.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I love space.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I love science, even though I'm not you know, obviously
I'm not a sciencey girl, but I'm always so intrigued
by it. It's why I'm intrigued by Elon Musk. And
you know the fact that he can land a rocket
after he shoots it off, he could land it back
on the planet with almost no trouble at all. I mean,
(31:17):
you see those things and you think, man, considering I
was born in nineteen sixty six, I didn't know that
we would get here. I feel like NASA's kind of
drop things a little bit in that, you know, we
don't have we don't have space shuttles anymore. Obviously we
had space shuttle disasters, but we don't really look at
(31:39):
outer space with the same sense of wonder that we
did when I was a kid, you know, outer space,
it was, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Know, are there other planets?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Are there other other people, other life forms out there?
And we don't seem to be as curious now as
we were then. And I find that a little bit sad,
but also also very intriguing because there's so much more,
I think.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Than we that we could do.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
To get out there and get more information. All Right,
I do want to talk a little bit about a
new poll concerning Ukrainians, because we've been funding very on
a very large scale, this war in Ukraine. Of this conflict,
Russia invaded Ukraine, which used to be part of the
(32:30):
Soviet Union, and gained independence, I want to say, in
what nineteen ninety something like that, and Russia wants it back.
Russia wants to get the band back together because the
might of the Soviet Union, and Vladimir Putin was a
key person in the Soviet Union, keep in mind, and
he is.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
The you know, the head, he is the guy.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
He he has invaded before, he's annexed Crimea. He wants
to annex Ukraine. Ukrainians don't necessarily want to want to
be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
They just don't. They don't. And do you blame them? No,
I don't blame them. We're all in this together. This
