Speaker 1 (00:14):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Show with Michael gill Jorn.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I'm over here literally sweating, and I don't know it's
because you made me laugh or if it's from the
top class of Vampara that I had last night then
kept me up all night sick. Now I know why
they name after a vampire fit me right in the stomach,
is it?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Now?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I had this vision, oh right, his vision of your
home on Thanksgiving and everybody's gathered around the bountiful table.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Mom, where's dad to pray?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
He's running the Dyl's show.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Mom, I'm real thankful for everything, you know, like God
and his son and how he provides.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
But where's Dad.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, the host Michael will be over for Christmas to
open presents with you.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Dad'll be working there too.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
He's slaving over a hot board, cooking up for a
best of show.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Mom, why is this bike not put together? Well? Dad
to work? See you bring that out?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And then I just get all these like SNL type
ideas in my head.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And that's why I'm laughing and sweating. All right.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So you know, it turns out I don't want to
get into like heavy theological doctrinal stuff. But turns out
you can't lose your salvation. Go to see the movie
Wicket and post on Facebook that you loved it, that
you will lose your salvation. Oh boy, So I didn't
realize that would be so controversial. They sent an all
(02:14):
time record at the box office. There was like three
big movies at once. My daughters, you know, kept inviting me,
and I'm like, I don't really want to go see Wicked.
Come on, that's a girl thing. Just go with mommy,
and then my wife, you know, pulls me aside. You know,
you have two beautiful twenty year old daughters, do you
know what it's like to have twenty year old daughters
(02:36):
ask their father to go see a movie with them.
You've got to go, well, well that kind of guilt,
of course I went and no, so you know, I mean,
I am as described by the way, they had bought
their tickets already, so then they had to buy me
a ticket. And I'm like five rows away from them.
It's not like I even got to experience it with
(02:57):
them and with some other teenagers sit together.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So I'm as discridled as you could possibly be, just
just for the authenticity of a movie review. I don't
want to be there. That's not my kind of movie musicals.
I hate they're so well. No, actually I break into
song all the time, but most people in real life
aren't in and out.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
A song like that. And I gotta tell you, was
it better than the play?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Because I'm thinking to myself, Look, they got three hit songs,
and I've heard them with the Dina Menzel. You know
they're not gonna do it any better. Oh my, was
it better than the play? Was it better than the
original Wizard of Oz? Was it better than anything Hollywood
(03:45):
has made in fifty years? Oh my yes, really with
an ending that just leaves you speechless, just the best
of ever. And I left that theater thinking, Okay, well
the Oscars. I think I can finally be you know,
(04:07):
because we do that little thing my wife makes me
do the Night of the Oscars and Chris. I don't
I hate hollywoods. I don't watch any of their movies
as I just gas and I always lose. But this
year I'll just do Wicked for everything, and I'm bound
to be in first place. I can't think of a
single thing it won't win, from adaptation to costume, to
(04:27):
editing to sound to best song to it's gonna win everything,
actress supporting actress. I think actor and supporting actor are
gonna probably be win. I can't think anything will win.
It's it was the least I ever wanted to do
anything in my life, and it was the best movie
(04:50):
I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Was just absolutely incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So I posted on Facebook and right away and all
the Christians start going at you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So it's just one of you into witchcraft and wizardry.
I realize this is all a dream. It's really about
a girl in Kansas. You get her ahead. None of
its happened.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Have you heard of all the young ladies that have
shown up in green face paint to go to this
movie and they will not let them in due to.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's a safety issue.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
They won't allow them in because there's a possibility due
to history that they won't well wash the makeup off.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
There were two flying monkeys try to get in when
I was there, and so that's just way too far.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Mom's there. It's got to be a big bits understanding.
I'm going in.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I'm going tell you, like my God, time for sounds
of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, let's start with the Bidens, shall we.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
President Biden had always been very firm on this. He
would not involve himself in issues of justice. He would
not pardon his son.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Let's in regard to the question regarding a family. Extremely
proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction.
He is He's one of the greatest, most decent men
I know. And I am satisfied that I'm not going
to do anything I said. I advide by the jury decision,
and I will do that and I'm not partner.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Wow, that's Joe, tell it like it is. I'm proud
of his son. It's a great guy.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
When comes to these, you know, gun charges and tax
evasion charges, He'll support whatever the jury says. And then
when they would go to the White House press room
and they would ask kJ P repeatedly, she got really frustrated.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
How many times do she got?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Opened a little book and turn to that page and
tell you over and over him not a lot's.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Changed this yesterday. And that's a personal matter.
Speaker 9 (06:48):
But from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that
the president would end up pardoning his son?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, I just said no.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
I just answer for a commune his son if he's convicted.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So I've answered this question before.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
It was asked of me not too long ago, a
couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and
I said no, good Mary, thanks great.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
He said that President Biden was familiar with what his
son was going to say on Capitol Hill. If I
called my dad and said I am about to violate
a congressional subpoena, he'd probably said, son, you shouldn't do that.
Was there any attempt by President Biden to talk Hunter
out of it.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Today, you call your dad, Steve.
Speaker 12 (07:31):
Oh, dad usually.
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Look, I don't have anything else to add. The President
was familiar with what.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
This goes on for months and months and months, and
then Sunday after the cash Betel announcement and his.
Speaker 13 (07:48):
Learned President Biden will pardon his son Hunter. Biden a
CNN Chief National Affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleny, I believe is
with us.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Jeff, can you hear me? Yes? Okay, what are you learning?
Speaker 9 (08:03):
Look, we are just getting a statement from President Joe Biden.
He's saying that today he signed a pardon for my
son Hunter, and he goes through the reasoning why. Of course,
Hunter is facing a sentencing later this month. But this
is a really monumental moment for President Biden. He said
several months ago in June, when he was still seeking
(08:24):
a reelection, that he would not pardon Hunter Biden. But
now we are learning he is. And let's just read
through this statement quickly together. He said, today I signed
a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I
took office, I said I would not interfere with the
Justice Department's decision making, and I kept my word even
as I watched my son being selectively and unfairly.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I mean, you have to almost he say he kept
his word until he didn't keep his word. Oh, come on, man,
did he ever plan to.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Keep his word all along?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
We'll never know, So noble, he kept his word till
he didn't keep his word prosecuted.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
So this is a fairly long statement about to apporify
paragraphs from President Biden, but really going through why he
is making this decision. He also goes on to say
this he's a no reasonable person who looks at the
facts of Hunters.
Speaker 12 (09:12):
Cases can reach any other conclusion.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
Than Hunter was singled out because he is my.
Speaker 12 (09:17):
Son, and that is wrong.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
He goes on to say, there has been an effort
to break Hunter, who has been five and a half
years sober, even in the face of unrelenting a tax
and selected prosecution. So, of course, Jessica, let's take a
step back. You obviously covered the Biden campaign along with me,
and this is something that Hunter Biden has been dealing with.
Speaker 12 (09:38):
This is a tax case, a gun case.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
He went through his trial in Delaware. There was another
case in Los Angeles. But this is really the culmination
of President Biden really making the decision tonight to sign
a pardon for a sun Hunter, not just a commutation
of a possible sentence, but a pardon which certainly will
be part of in Biden's legacy.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So that's the narratives.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
What parent wouldn't understand, No big deal, right to son,
Gotta do it. But then when you read not the
narratives but the actual pardon, it has a much different feel.
This is an Abraham and Isaac by any stretch, for
(10:25):
those offenses against the United States which he has committed
or may have committed, or taken pardon. Oh wait a minute,
so this may this is not just pardoning him on
harassing him over paperwork for a gun or tax evasion.
(10:46):
This is for anything he has committed, may have committed,
or may have taken pardon from a period of January one,
twenty fourteen through December one, twenty twenty four including but
not limited.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
To, all offenses.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Charged or prosecuted, including any that have resulted in convictions
by the Special Counsel. Is this really about gun charges?
Is this really about tax evasion? Or is this about
him and the big guy himself in China dealings? And
everybody's saying, well, why now, why a day after Cash
(11:25):
Patel is announced as the next FBI director. Was this
a panic pardon a father at Thanksgiving with his son
and Patel on the horizon, or was this a pardon
me that ultimately this is Joe Biden not protecting his
(11:47):
son but protecting himself. And why Cash Patel say hello
to what might be your next FBI director? In our
sounds of the day.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
The FBI's footprint has and so freaking big. And the
biggest problem the FBI had has come out of its
intel shops. I'd break that component out of it. I'd
shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and
reopening the next day as a museum of the Deep State.
And I'd take the seven thousand employees that work in
that building and send them across America to chase down criminals.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Go be cops, your cops, go be cops. What do
you need seven thousand people there for?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Same thing with THEO Jenny, What are all these people
doing here? Looking for the next government promotion, looking for
their next fancy government title, looking for.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Their parachute out of government.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
So while you're bringing in the right people, you also
have to shrink government.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Ooh, that sounds like a different kind of leadership. Here's
why a lot of people are probably very nervous that
Cash Pttel might be the new head of the FBI,
because day one, Epstein's little Black Book would go from
hidden to exposed in his hands. Listen, who has Jeffrey
(12:53):
Epstein's book Black Book?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
FBI? But who that is?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I mean, well, that's under direct control of the director
of the FBI. Just like the manifesto from the Nashville
school shooting of the Catholic schools, we still haven't seen that, right.
It's not the Nashville Police or PD saying we don't
want this out. The FBI airmailed into that operation and
said this is not getting out because they do that,
(13:21):
because they this is another government gangster operation. All these
local law enforcement communities get funding from the dj and
FBI for local programs, and if you don't cooperate, you're
not getting your million dollars for this and you're not
getting it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And that's a lot of money to these local districts.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
By the way, it's another reason to bust up the
Department of Education as well.
Speaker 14 (13:39):
That's how they play the game. That's why you don't
have a black Book. Whether the Black Book, it's not
just sitting. I mean, that's that's that's Hoover power times ten.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
And to me, that's the thing I think President Trump
should run on on day one, roll out the Black Book,
and not just that, on day one, roll out all
of the text message communications we were told were deleted
on day one, play the rest of the video of
the pipe bummer.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, he needed.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
One of the reforms I talk about dor mc gangsters
is you need a central node to be continuously declassifying.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
This is another thing they do. They classify and I'm telling.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
You as a former number two in the IC, they
overclassify fifty percent of the stuff there to protect the
deep state.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh no, you can't see that. Nothing to see here.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Gino was a master at it of doing it. And
we still haven't seen half of the Russigate report that
we wrote, still under lock and key on how the
ICA was originally constructed. We went, we put ten thousand
man hours against John Brennan's team that did it, and
we found out why they came up with their bogus concresson.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I got a break. What does all this mean? Well,
most presidencies never end up being about what the campaigns
were about. And I don't think Donald Trump's going to
fail at the border. I think He's going to fail
at the economy, but that isn't what it's going to
be about. From finding out your government killed the president
maybe to finding out tried to recently kill a presidential
(15:12):
candidate and former president, from Kennedy to the Russian hoax
to Epstein's Black Book and everything in between, Someone's going
to lift the curtain and show it all to you.
And that's how the truth works. You don't have to kill,
(15:33):
you don't have to prosecute these cases one at a time,
just the truth itself being revealed in one fail swoop.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's how you killed the deep state.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That will be a Trump legacy, and Cash Patel is
a key part of that.
Speaker 15 (15:53):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltno, how would
you like to be kering John Pierre? President just made
a complete discrediting fool of you by pardning his son.
After all, Donald Trump nominated Cash Patel to serve as
FBI director. That may be what led to the needing
to pardon not just Hunter Biden, but ultimately himself and
(16:17):
Joe Biden's move. And speaking of Cash Patel, Big John,
the bookie's here.
Speaker 16 (16:20):
So let me weigh in on the betting odds for
Cash Patel for FBI director. Yes, minus one sixty no,
plus two ten.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh, that black book's about to be revealed.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
This is your favorite president forty five, soon to be
forty seven.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And my morning show is.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Your morning show with a guy I like to call
Beacher Boy. It's not delivery, it's still join up.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Him, Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And your morning show is heard on great radio stations
across the country like one oh five, nine, nine, twelve
fifty w hn Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five
seventy wkb N 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 1 (17:15):
Enjoy. Do we have Rory O'Neill, Yes, we have Rory.
Now Rory.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's been
about two weeks since we've been Okay, you didn't even
miss me after two weeks?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What they say? We were going to talk about.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Wagovia and ozempic and then we got the pardon instead
right on the weekend. Let's start with that. I think
the big question. There's narrative and then there's the actual
wording of the pardon. I'm taking my cues from the
wording of the pardon, not the narratives and the reasoning
of the president. But why now, I think is probably
the big question everybody's wondering this morning.
Speaker 17 (17:56):
Well, he dropped it and ran to Africa, right, you know,
you dropped it after the Sunday talk shows and then
just before he got onto Air Force one to head
off to Africa, where it's impossible to ask questions, so
he got he'll get to spend a few more days
of this. But yeah, and it was ahead because don't forget,
the sentencing is coming up in a couple of weeks,
so they figured this was probably a good doughnut hole
(18:17):
to drop in the middle here.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
So you've been in news here in virtually your entire life.
You know how the cycles work. So Thanksgiving is like
a short kind of a holiday, and then there's one
last paying attention and then somewhere around a week before Christmas,
everybody checks out, and they really don't check back in
till write about the inauguration.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean there's very very little.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I mean, that would have been the optimum window to
do this with the least and then pork ringe on
Pierre's she's stuck right in the bag today.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I mean, if I was her, I just opened the
book and walk out of the room. Erry, come up
here and read this page.
Speaker 17 (18:57):
Well yeah, and now I'm sure she's just saying, all right,
sixty eight days whatever. Yeah, this can't end fast enough
for her, right yeah, And it puts her in allows
your position because now you can't believe anything she says.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Insert joke here.
Speaker 17 (19:10):
And you know, I think the timing was probably just
as strategic as it could be. You know, he was
on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, really away from the White House.
And now you know a lot of people are still
taking this week off as well, So yeah, it's sort
of a quiet week.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
We're getting into the holidays. I had a sweet caller
last half hour. And of course she's coming at it
with the purity of her mind and her heart, and
that's what they're hoping for. That everybody looks at this,
what father wouldn't parton their son on the way out
come on or I've gotten emails. Oh, I guarantee you
it was Thanksgiving and Jill made him do it. All
(19:46):
this stuff. Was this political or was this personal? Because
you know, we kind of narrowed it down to this
is a panic pardon over the announcement of cash betel
or it's a pardon me ultimately, because when you look
at the dates of this, this may have more to
do with the big guy and the deal in China
than it has to do with tax evasion and a
gun a gun.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, well, I think it was incremental.
Speaker 17 (20:07):
You know, when he dropped out of the race, that
made it more part more likely than when he moved.
When kam of the lost that made it even more likely.
And so I think it was sort of drip, drip drip.
And then you know, when you got the holiday weekend
and probably just and you're off to Africa, probably just
a good time to sneak it in as best you can,
again before the official sentencing hearing was going to take place.
(20:28):
So uh because that time December second, Now the sentencing
is the eleventh.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Or yeah, the sentence was interesting. He had at least
another week and a half. You know, there would have
been I don't know. Plus he could have partnered him
after the sentencing too, right, Yeah, absolutely, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Trying to find the window.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, I don't know. I smell it might have.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Had more to do with the cash Pattel and the
cash Ptel, right, and the appointment of Pam Bondi and
cash Ptel, and you're like, oh gosh, and you know,
now Komer is going to be hanging around.
Speaker 17 (20:58):
A bit longer. Oversight and all these different things coming together.
I think it was a drip drip drip accumulation of
it all. Really did you make of the Kamala video?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Ah? I didn't see it yet. You never saw it
over the holiday? I have which one one?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
The one where don't ever let anybody take it? Was
kind of like her pep talk to herself after losing, uh,
you know. And I'm not big on rumors.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I don't know. I'm not around people that drink a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I couldn't tell uh if she was, you know, having
problems with alcohol. This kind of really looked at and
I just it was just shocking to me. I mean,
not shocking they recorded it, shocking. Somebody posted it, I
mean after watching it. Whose judgment was it to post that,
And I'm just wondering what that does. I don't know
that she has a political shelf life in future anyway, but.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I don't know that that helped matters very much.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
That video a lot of bizarre things coming from this administration.
That Levy's shaking, shaking your head, going, you know what,
these people are still in charge, lives are still in
their hands for another what is it sixty days or whatever?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
It is?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
All right, let's talk about each day thousands people start
taking weight loss drugs withcovia ozempic, but at what cost?
And it's literally breaking the bank. And you'll explain what
we mean by that these drugs. And of course, no
sooner are they at their peak than we're getting the
news about some of the side effects. How the minute
you stop taking it, you're just going to gain the
(22:24):
weight back. Somebody are making a lot of money really fast,
and they're going to look back at this with great regret.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Always follow the money, right well.
Speaker 17 (22:33):
And these drugs have been on the market for diabetics
for a long time, but they're more and more prescribed
specifically for weight loss, and now some insurance companies are
sayingnow we're not covering you for that, you know, just
you know, have a salad and hit the treadmill.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
We're not paying.
Speaker 17 (22:49):
We're not paying a thousand dollars a month for these drugs.
USA Today profile the woman her co payment on her
Wagovi or ozembic is going from twenty five dollars a
month now seven hundred and thirteen dollars a month starting
in January. A lot of people are getting sticker shocked
from that. And as you said, when people stop taking
these suddenly, they often see the weight come back with
(23:10):
a engine. So these are drugs you're supposed to be
taking for most people, for the rest of your lives.
And some insurance companies you're saying a thousand bucks a
month because you.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Don't know how to eat exercis all right. So suddenly
it's the choice between seven hundred and fifty a month
or bick to a size sixteen. You know, that's that's
really what they're up against. And I mean seven undred
and fifty that's a lot of.
Speaker 17 (23:32):
Money, it is, and that's a big jump percentage wise,
and you have to check your own plan and see
what's covered.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Again.
Speaker 17 (23:39):
Oftentimes the drugs are authorized if it's for diabetes, sometimes
high blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But this GLP one group of drugs, they.
Speaker 17 (23:47):
See great opportunities perhaps helping people with alcoholism and drug
addiction as well. So these are drugs that we're still
trying to figure out exactly how beneficial they can be.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
We've gone from having a pill for everything to a
shot for everything. But is it affordable? Not like it
used to be. Roy good reporting where he's gonna be
backy the way we always give them the final story.
AI is being used to provide accurate protections and predictions.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Of how long a person will live.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Rory will reveal my death date when he comes back
at seven fifty one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I'll see you on your seventy second birthday.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Well, Joe Biden apparently had a couple of turkeys to
pardon this Thanksgiving Pardon the pun Mark Mayfield has our
today in politics.
Speaker 17 (24:29):
President Biden has said he would not use his authority
to pardon his son Hunter, but he's changed his mind.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Sir le Cussler reports.
Speaker 18 (24:36):
The President issued a statement Sunday saying no reasonable person
looking at the facts in Hunter's criminal case could conclude
that Hunter wasn't singled out because he's my son. Biden
said there was an effort to break Hunter, which internment
trying to break the president. Hunter was convicted on federal
gun charges. He's also due to be sentenced this month
(24:57):
in a separate criminal case after pleading Gil in September
to federal tax evasion. The pardon covers the guilty plea
and the gun conviction.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Titald Trump had some news of his own over the weekend.
The President elect is nominating Cash Patel to serve as
the director of the FBI.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Chris Caratio has details.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Patel was the former chief of staff to the Acting
Secretary of Defense during Trump's first administration. In his announcement,
Trump called Patel an American first fighter who has spent
his career exposing corruption, defending justice, and protecting the American people.
Patel has called for a purge of perceived enemies in
the FBI, Justice Department, and American intelligence agencies. He's also
(25:37):
promoted conspiracy theories that the twenty twenty election was stolen
and that federal employees were part of a deep state
trying to overthrow Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm Chris Kragio.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
President Elect Trump is either negotiating or threatening a coalition
of non Western countries with one hundred percent tariffs if
they abandoned the US dollar.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
More from Lisa Cardin.
Speaker 19 (25:57):
The Briggs Coalition includes Brazil, Russia, in China, and South Africa.
On Saturday, Trump said he wants the coalition to promise
that they will not create a new currency or back
any other currency besides the US dollar, and warned if
they do, he'll impose huge tariffs. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
And today it's just another cyber Monday, Scott car.
Speaker 20 (26:20):
With Black Friday and Small Business Saturday over. Retailers say
cyber Monday may be the last chance for shoppers to
get the deals they want on the items they want,
and particularly for younger shoppers, seems to have a growing
appeal over shopping during a.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Holiday, maybe like four years ago. I don't know, but yeah,
I feel like it's not only a thing anymore. I've
done that like once before. I've went once on like Thanksgiving.
I don't like it. I rather go, like do Cyber Monday.
I feel like Cyber Monday is more of like ahead.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 20 (26:46):
Adobe Analytics says this year's cyber Monday could be the
biggest online shopping day in US history, estimating retailers could
break in some thirteen point two billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's being
tracked by Norrad.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Lisa Carton has that story.
Speaker 19 (27:05):
Me Christmas, Santa's in a good move this year because
nor Rad is tracking him. Today, the North American Aerospace
Defense Command will launch its Norrad Track Santa website, which
features a holiday countdown, games, holiday music, and more in
Santa's North Pole Village. Santa Tracking will begin at four
am Eastern Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Me Christmas, you go, Santa. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Titans, the Cardinals both lost, Seahawks Commanders, Rams and Tampa
all won. And last night in a snow globe boy

ten big over San Francisco. Monday Football Tonight is a
mile high Brown's and the Broncos and birthdays today. Singer

fifty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so
glad you were born and thanks for making us a
part of your big day.
Speaker 15 (28:02):
It's your Morning show with Michael Delchock.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I just love John Decker.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know, while everyone was discussing the narrative portion of
the pardon last night, John Decker was focused on the
language of the actual pardon. The guy's a Supreme Court
bar attorney. He can't stop being an attorney.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah. I think the language of the pardon.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Itself, if you focus on that, tells you a lot
more than the narrative that everybody took the bait on John,
Good Morning. How shocking is this news and how related
to the cash Patel nomination might it be? As everyone's
trying to figure out why now? Why not wait a
couple of weeks or over the holidays, let's start with
the pardon of Hunter Biden.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, the timing no one can ever predict when an
actual partner is going to be issued by a president,
so the timing always surprises everybody, and it comes just
ahead of Joe Biden heading to Apple for the next
few days, so he won't be taking any questions. You
can certainly imagine on this particular issue, did not answer
a shouted question of him as he boarded Air Force
(29:10):
one last night. But it comes as no surprise that
Joe Biden issued this pardon for Hunter Biden. I mean,
let's face it, he's a father. No father wants to
see their son go to prison, and you know, if
he has the power to prevent that, he's going to
exercise that power.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's exactly what he did with.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
His presidential pardon. But as you point out, and as
I noticed, you know, and looking at the language.
Speaker 12 (29:31):
Of the part, it is pretty sweeping.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
It is I'm sure, Michael at growing up like you,
like me, we played Monopoly, you know that get out
a free card, get out a free jail card. That's
what this is for Hunter Biden.
Speaker 12 (29:46):
It covers any actions that took.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Place by Hunter Biden as it relates to potential offenses
against the US from January the first of twenty fourteen
through December first of twenty twenty four almost eleven full
years of the get out of jail free card for
Hunter Biden.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
The exact wording is for those offenses against the United
States which he has committed or may have committed or
taken pardon during that period of January first, twenty fourteen
to twenty twenty four So what it screams out is,
this isn't just about the gun charges, This isn't about
the tax evasion. This is about anything he's done, may
(30:25):
have done, or may have been a part of. And
then you go to the January first, twenty fourteen through
twenty twenty four what immediately came to my mind was
him and the big guys deal in China, and if
Cash Pattel should decide to really open that up wide
and start revealing some stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Do you think this was a.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Panic pardon over Patel or a pardon himself along the
way along with his son for what may be coming.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Well, we don't know if Cash Battel.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
Is going to be confirmed. You know, there's still an.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
FBI director, and that FBI director, Christopher Ray, still has
three years left in his term, so he would need
to resign or be fired by Donald Trump. And we
don't know what the agenda is by either the incoming
FBI director, whoever that is, nor do we know the
agenda of the incoming head of the Department of Justice,
Tam Bondy assuming she's confirmed.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
But I think.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
That they, being the Biden family, is concerned about the
Justice Department the FBI coming after them after they leave office.
And that's the reason why you see this blanket pardon
given for Hunter Biden, because it goes all the way
back when Hunter Biden.
Speaker 12 (31:34):
Was influence peddling. There's nothing criminal about.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
That, by the way, but it doesn't look right. Certainly
is unseemly, But it's using the influence that he had
as a private citizen because his father was vice President
of the United States, to get access to some pretty
lucrative financial deals over the course.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Of that time.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
I'm just married to an attorney. I have a friend
who is actually a bar Supreme Court bar attorney. So
what about for Joe though, if if Joe was trading favors,
isn't that aren't there some abusive power charges?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
By way?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
There might be some perjury along the way for both
of them.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Well, you know, I think that if Republicans want to
go down that road, they certainly can do so. As
you know, the votes are not there to convict a
former president. In the US Senate, it's a fifty three
forty seven majority that Republicans have you need sixty seven
to convict. Despite what happens in the House, we're a
simple majority. So like to me, you know, one hundred
(32:34):
days is valuable time. Do you want to use that
one hundred days, you know, to go after pass grievances
or do you want to you know, proceed with trying
to move forward with an agenda and aggressive agenda that
Donald Trump has on a variety of fronts, illegal immigration,
the economy, including trade tariffs.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
That's I think.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
The focus or should be the focus of an incoming
administration rather than looking at issues related to pass grievances
and investigations into the past. There's time for that. You
have four full years to do that, but certainly in
the first one hundred days, I think that's a lost
opportunity if.
Speaker 12 (33:07):
You do that.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
All right, John Decker as always stellar. Great to talk
to you this morning. I missed you for a week.
By the way, John's the only one that texted me.
My other two didn't. They liked the donna who was
filling in. They didn't like me. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael enhild Jo Now
Hi, it's Michael.

We invite you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):

us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Show with Michael gill Jorn.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I'm over here literally sweating, and I don't know it's
because you made me laugh or if it's from the
top class of Vampara that I had last night then
kept me up all night sick. Now I know why
they name after a vampire fit me right in the stomach,
is it?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Now?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I had this vision, oh right, his vision of your
home on Thanksgiving and everybody's gathered around the bountiful table.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Mom, where's dad to pray?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
He's running the Dyl's show.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Mom, I'm real thankful for everything, you know, like God
and his son and how he provides.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
But where's Dad.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, the host Michael will be over for Christmas to
open presents with you.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Dad'll be working there too.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
He's slaving over a hot board, cooking up for a
best of show.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Mom, why is this bike not put together? Well? Dad
to work? See you bring that out?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And then I just get all these like SNL type
ideas in my head.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And that's why I'm laughing and sweating. All right.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So you know, it turns out I don't want to
get into like heavy theological doctrinal stuff. But turns out
you can't lose your salvation. Go to see the movie
Wicket and post on Facebook that you loved it, that
you will lose your salvation. Oh boy, So I didn't
realize that would be so controversial. They sent an all
(02:14):
time record at the box office. There was like three
big movies at once. My daughters, you know, kept inviting me,
and I'm like, I don't really want to go see Wicked.
Come on, that's a girl thing. Just go with mommy,
and then my wife, you know, pulls me aside. You know,
you have two beautiful twenty year old daughters, do you
know what it's like to have twenty year old daughters
(02:36):
ask their father to go see a movie with them.
You've got to go, well, well that kind of guilt,
of course I went and no, so you know, I mean,
I am as described by the way, they had bought
their tickets already, so then they had to buy me
a ticket. And I'm like five rows away from them.
It's not like I even got to experience it with
(02:57):
them and with some other teenagers sit together.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So I'm as discridled as you could possibly be, just
just for the authenticity of a movie review. I don't
want to be there. That's not my kind of movie musicals.
I hate they're so well. No, actually I break into
song all the time, but most people in real life
aren't in and out.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
A song like that. And I gotta tell you, was
it better than the play?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Because I'm thinking to myself, Look, they got three hit songs,
and I've heard them with the Dina Menzel. You know
they're not gonna do it any better. Oh my, was
it better than the play? Was it better than the
original Wizard of Oz? Was it better than anything Hollywood
(03:45):
has made in fifty years? Oh my yes, really with
an ending that just leaves you speechless, just the best
of ever. And I left that theater thinking, Okay, well
the Oscars. I think I can finally be you know,
(04:07):
because we do that little thing my wife makes me
do the Night of the Oscars and Chris. I don't
I hate hollywoods. I don't watch any of their movies
as I just gas and I always lose. But this
year I'll just do Wicked for everything, and I'm bound
to be in first place. I can't think of a
single thing it won't win, from adaptation to costume, to
(04:27):
editing to sound to best song to it's gonna win everything,
actress supporting actress. I think actor and supporting actor are
gonna probably be win. I can't think anything will win.
It's it was the least I ever wanted to do
anything in my life, and it was the best movie
(04:50):
I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Was just absolutely incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So I posted on Facebook and right away and all
the Christians start going at you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So it's just one of you into witchcraft and wizardry.
I realize this is all a dream. It's really about
a girl in Kansas. You get her ahead. None of
its happened.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Have you heard of all the young ladies that have
shown up in green face paint to go to this
movie and they will not let them in due to.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's a safety issue.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
They won't allow them in because there's a possibility due
to history that they won't well wash the makeup off.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
There were two flying monkeys try to get in when
I was there, and so that's just way too far.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Mom's there. It's got to be a big bits understanding.
I'm going in.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I'm going tell you, like my God, time for sounds
of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, let's start with the Bidens, shall we.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
President Biden had always been very firm on this. He
would not involve himself in issues of justice. He would
not pardon his son.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Let's in regard to the question regarding a family. Extremely
proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction.
He is He's one of the greatest, most decent men
I know. And I am satisfied that I'm not going
to do anything I said. I advide by the jury decision,
and I will do that and I'm not partner.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Wow, that's Joe, tell it like it is. I'm proud
of his son. It's a great guy.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
When comes to these, you know, gun charges and tax
evasion charges, He'll support whatever the jury says. And then
when they would go to the White House press room
and they would ask kJ P repeatedly, she got really frustrated.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
How many times do she got?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Opened a little book and turn to that page and
tell you over and over him not a lot's.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Changed this yesterday. And that's a personal matter.
Speaker 9 (06:48):
But from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that
the president would end up pardoning his son?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, I just said no.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
I just answer for a commune his son if he's convicted.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So I've answered this question before.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
It was asked of me not too long ago, a
couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and
I said no, good Mary, thanks great.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
He said that President Biden was familiar with what his
son was going to say on Capitol Hill. If I
called my dad and said I am about to violate
a congressional subpoena, he'd probably said, son, you shouldn't do that.
Was there any attempt by President Biden to talk Hunter
out of it.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Today, you call your dad, Steve.
Speaker 12 (07:31):
Oh, dad usually.
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Look, I don't have anything else to add. The President
was familiar with what.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
This goes on for months and months and months, and
then Sunday after the cash Betel announcement and his.
Speaker 13 (07:48):
Learned President Biden will pardon his son Hunter. Biden a
CNN Chief National Affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleny, I believe is
with us.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Jeff, can you hear me? Yes? Okay, what are you learning?
Speaker 9 (08:03):
Look, we are just getting a statement from President Joe Biden.
He's saying that today he signed a pardon for my
son Hunter, and he goes through the reasoning why. Of course,
Hunter is facing a sentencing later this month. But this
is a really monumental moment for President Biden. He said
several months ago in June, when he was still seeking
(08:24):
a reelection, that he would not pardon Hunter Biden. But
now we are learning he is. And let's just read
through this statement quickly together. He said, today I signed
a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I
took office, I said I would not interfere with the
Justice Department's decision making, and I kept my word even
as I watched my son being selectively and unfairly.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I mean, you have to almost he say he kept
his word until he didn't keep his word. Oh, come on, man,
did he ever plan to.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Keep his word all along?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
We'll never know, So noble, he kept his word till
he didn't keep his word prosecuted.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
So this is a fairly long statement about to apporify
paragraphs from President Biden, but really going through why he
is making this decision. He also goes on to say
this he's a no reasonable person who looks at the
facts of Hunters.
Speaker 12 (09:12):
Cases can reach any other conclusion.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
Than Hunter was singled out because he is my.
Speaker 12 (09:17):
Son, and that is wrong.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
He goes on to say, there has been an effort
to break Hunter, who has been five and a half
years sober, even in the face of unrelenting a tax
and selected prosecution. So, of course, Jessica, let's take a
step back. You obviously covered the Biden campaign along with me,
and this is something that Hunter Biden has been dealing with.
Speaker 12 (09:38):
This is a tax case, a gun case.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
He went through his trial in Delaware. There was another
case in Los Angeles. But this is really the culmination
of President Biden really making the decision tonight to sign
a pardon for a sun Hunter, not just a commutation
of a possible sentence, but a pardon which certainly will
be part of in Biden's legacy.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So that's the narratives.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
What parent wouldn't understand, No big deal, right to son,
Gotta do it. But then when you read not the
narratives but the actual pardon, it has a much different feel.
This is an Abraham and Isaac by any stretch, for
(10:25):
those offenses against the United States which he has committed
or may have committed, or taken pardon. Oh wait a minute,
so this may this is not just pardoning him on
harassing him over paperwork for a gun or tax evasion.
(10:46):
This is for anything he has committed, may have committed,
or may have taken pardon from a period of January one,
twenty fourteen through December one, twenty twenty four including but
not limited.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
To, all offenses.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Charged or prosecuted, including any that have resulted in convictions
by the Special Counsel. Is this really about gun charges?
Is this really about tax evasion? Or is this about
him and the big guy himself in China dealings? And
everybody's saying, well, why now, why a day after Cash
(11:25):
Patel is announced as the next FBI director. Was this
a panic pardon a father at Thanksgiving with his son
and Patel on the horizon, or was this a pardon
me that ultimately this is Joe Biden not protecting his
(11:47):
son but protecting himself. And why Cash Patel say hello
to what might be your next FBI director? In our
sounds of the day.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
The FBI's footprint has and so freaking big. And the
biggest problem the FBI had has come out of its
intel shops. I'd break that component out of it. I'd
shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and
reopening the next day as a museum of the Deep State.
And I'd take the seven thousand employees that work in
that building and send them across America to chase down criminals.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Go be cops, your cops, go be cops. What do
you need seven thousand people there for?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Same thing with THEO Jenny, What are all these people
doing here? Looking for the next government promotion, looking for
their next fancy government title, looking for.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Their parachute out of government.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
So while you're bringing in the right people, you also
have to shrink government.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Ooh, that sounds like a different kind of leadership. Here's
why a lot of people are probably very nervous that
Cash Pttel might be the new head of the FBI,
because day one, Epstein's little Black Book would go from
hidden to exposed in his hands. Listen, who has Jeffrey
(12:53):
Epstein's book Black Book?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
FBI? But who that is?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
I mean, well, that's under direct control of the director
of the FBI. Just like the manifesto from the Nashville
school shooting of the Catholic schools, we still haven't seen that, right.
It's not the Nashville Police or PD saying we don't
want this out. The FBI airmailed into that operation and
said this is not getting out because they do that,
(13:21):
because they this is another government gangster operation. All these
local law enforcement communities get funding from the dj and
FBI for local programs, and if you don't cooperate, you're
not getting your million dollars for this and you're not
getting it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And that's a lot of money to these local districts.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
By the way, it's another reason to bust up the
Department of Education as well.
Speaker 14 (13:39):
That's how they play the game. That's why you don't
have a black Book. Whether the Black Book, it's not
just sitting. I mean, that's that's that's Hoover power times ten.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
And to me, that's the thing I think President Trump
should run on on day one, roll out the Black Book,
and not just that, on day one, roll out all
of the text message communications we were told were deleted
on day one, play the rest of the video of
the pipe bummer.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, he needed.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
One of the reforms I talk about dor mc gangsters
is you need a central node to be continuously declassifying.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
This is another thing they do. They classify and I'm telling.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
You as a former number two in the IC, they
overclassify fifty percent of the stuff there to protect the
deep state.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh no, you can't see that. Nothing to see here.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Gino was a master at it of doing it. And
we still haven't seen half of the Russigate report that
we wrote, still under lock and key on how the
ICA was originally constructed. We went, we put ten thousand
man hours against John Brennan's team that did it, and
we found out why they came up with their bogus concresson.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I got a break. What does all this mean? Well,
most presidencies never end up being about what the campaigns
were about. And I don't think Donald Trump's going to
fail at the border. I think He's going to fail
at the economy, but that isn't what it's going to
be about. From finding out your government killed the president
maybe to finding out tried to recently kill a presidential
(15:12):
candidate and former president, from Kennedy to the Russian hoax
to Epstein's Black Book and everything in between, Someone's going
to lift the curtain and show it all to you.
And that's how the truth works. You don't have to kill,
(15:33):
you don't have to prosecute these cases one at a time,
just the truth itself being revealed in one fail swoop.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's how you killed the deep state.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That will be a Trump legacy, and Cash Patel is
a key part of that.
Speaker 15 (15:53):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltno, how would
you like to be kering John Pierre? President just made
a complete discrediting fool of you by pardning his son.
After all, Donald Trump nominated Cash Patel to serve as
FBI director. That may be what led to the needing
to pardon not just Hunter Biden, but ultimately himself and
(16:17):
Joe Biden's move. And speaking of Cash Patel, Big John,
the bookie's here.
Speaker 16 (16:20):
So let me weigh in on the betting odds for
Cash Patel for FBI director. Yes, minus one sixty no,
plus two ten.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh, that black book's about to be revealed.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
This is your favorite president forty five, soon to be
forty seven.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And my morning show is.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Your morning show with a guy I like to call
Beacher Boy. It's not delivery, it's still join up.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Him, Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And your morning show is heard on great radio stations
across the country like one oh five, nine, nine, twelve
fifty w hn Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five
seventy wkb N 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 1 (17:15):
Enjoy. Do we have Rory O'Neill, Yes, we have Rory.
Now Rory.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's been
about two weeks since we've been Okay, you didn't even
miss me after two weeks?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What they say? We were going to talk about.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Wagovia and ozempic and then we got the pardon instead
right on the weekend. Let's start with that. I think
the big question. There's narrative and then there's the actual
wording of the pardon. I'm taking my cues from the
wording of the pardon, not the narratives and the reasoning
of the president. But why now, I think is probably
the big question everybody's wondering this morning.
Speaker 17 (17:56):
Well, he dropped it and ran to Africa, right, you know,
you dropped it after the Sunday talk shows and then
just before he got onto Air Force one to head
off to Africa, where it's impossible to ask questions, so
he got he'll get to spend a few more days
of this. But yeah, and it was ahead because don't forget,
the sentencing is coming up in a couple of weeks,
so they figured this was probably a good doughnut hole
(18:17):
to drop in the middle here.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
So you've been in news here in virtually your entire life.
You know how the cycles work. So Thanksgiving is like
a short kind of a holiday, and then there's one
last paying attention and then somewhere around a week before Christmas,
everybody checks out, and they really don't check back in
till write about the inauguration.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean there's very very little.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I mean, that would have been the optimum window to
do this with the least and then pork ringe on
Pierre's she's stuck right in the bag today.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I mean, if I was her, I just opened the
book and walk out of the room. Erry, come up
here and read this page.
Speaker 17 (18:57):
Well yeah, and now I'm sure she's just saying, all right,
sixty eight days whatever. Yeah, this can't end fast enough
for her, right yeah, And it puts her in allows
your position because now you can't believe anything she says.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Insert joke here.
Speaker 17 (19:10):
And you know, I think the timing was probably just
as strategic as it could be. You know, he was
on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, really away from the White House.
And now you know a lot of people are still
taking this week off as well, So yeah, it's sort
of a quiet week.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
We're getting into the holidays. I had a sweet caller
last half hour. And of course she's coming at it
with the purity of her mind and her heart, and
that's what they're hoping for. That everybody looks at this,
what father wouldn't parton their son on the way out
come on or I've gotten emails. Oh, I guarantee you
it was Thanksgiving and Jill made him do it. All
(19:46):
this stuff. Was this political or was this personal? Because
you know, we kind of narrowed it down to this
is a panic pardon over the announcement of cash betel
or it's a pardon me ultimately, because when you look
at the dates of this, this may have more to
do with the big guy and the deal in China
than it has to do with tax evasion and a
gun a gun.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, well, I think it was incremental.
Speaker 17 (20:07):
You know, when he dropped out of the race, that
made it more part more likely than when he moved.
When kam of the lost that made it even more likely.
And so I think it was sort of drip, drip drip.
And then you know, when you got the holiday weekend
and probably just and you're off to Africa, probably just
a good time to sneak it in as best you can,
again before the official sentencing hearing was going to take place.
(20:28):
So uh because that time December second, Now the sentencing
is the eleventh.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Or yeah, the sentence was interesting. He had at least
another week and a half. You know, there would have
been I don't know. Plus he could have partnered him
after the sentencing too, right, Yeah, absolutely, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Trying to find the window.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, I don't know. I smell it might have.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Had more to do with the cash Pattel and the
cash Ptel, right, and the appointment of Pam Bondi and
cash Ptel, and you're like, oh gosh, and you know,
now Komer is going to be hanging around.
Speaker 17 (20:58):
A bit longer. Oversight and all these different things coming together.
I think it was a drip drip drip accumulation of
it all. Really did you make of the Kamala video?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Ah? I didn't see it yet. You never saw it
over the holiday? I have which one one?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
The one where don't ever let anybody take it? Was
kind of like her pep talk to herself after losing, uh,
you know. And I'm not big on rumors.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I don't know. I'm not around people that drink a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I couldn't tell uh if she was, you know, having
problems with alcohol. This kind of really looked at and
I just it was just shocking to me. I mean,
not shocking they recorded it, shocking. Somebody posted it, I
mean after watching it. Whose judgment was it to post that,
And I'm just wondering what that does. I don't know
that she has a political shelf life in future anyway, but.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I don't know that that helped matters very much.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
That video a lot of bizarre things coming from this administration.
That Levy's shaking, shaking your head, going, you know what,
these people are still in charge, lives are still in
their hands for another what is it sixty days or whatever?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
It is?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
All right, let's talk about each day thousands people start
taking weight loss drugs withcovia ozempic, but at what cost?
And it's literally breaking the bank. And you'll explain what
we mean by that these drugs. And of course, no
sooner are they at their peak than we're getting the
news about some of the side effects. How the minute
you stop taking it, you're just going to gain the
(22:24):
weight back. Somebody are making a lot of money really fast,
and they're going to look back at this with great regret.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Always follow the money, right well.
Speaker 17 (22:33):
And these drugs have been on the market for diabetics
for a long time, but they're more and more prescribed
specifically for weight loss, and now some insurance companies are
sayingnow we're not covering you for that, you know, just
you know, have a salad and hit the treadmill.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
We're not paying.
Speaker 17 (22:49):
We're not paying a thousand dollars a month for these drugs.
USA Today profile the woman her co payment on her
Wagovi or ozembic is going from twenty five dollars a
month now seven hundred and thirteen dollars a month starting
in January. A lot of people are getting sticker shocked
from that. And as you said, when people stop taking
these suddenly, they often see the weight come back with
(23:10):
a engine. So these are drugs you're supposed to be
taking for most people, for the rest of your lives.
And some insurance companies you're saying a thousand bucks a
month because you.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Don't know how to eat exercis all right. So suddenly
it's the choice between seven hundred and fifty a month
or bick to a size sixteen. You know, that's that's
really what they're up against. And I mean seven undred
and fifty that's a lot of.
Speaker 17 (23:32):
Money, it is, and that's a big jump percentage wise,
and you have to check your own plan and see
what's covered.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Again.
Speaker 17 (23:39):
Oftentimes the drugs are authorized if it's for diabetes, sometimes
high blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But this GLP one group of drugs, they.
Speaker 17 (23:47):
See great opportunities perhaps helping people with alcoholism and drug
addiction as well. So these are drugs that we're still
trying to figure out exactly how beneficial they can be.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
We've gone from having a pill for everything to a
shot for everything. But is it affordable? Not like it
used to be. Roy good reporting where he's gonna be
backy the way we always give them the final story.
AI is being used to provide accurate protections and predictions.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Of how long a person will live.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Rory will reveal my death date when he comes back
at seven fifty one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I'll see you on your seventy second birthday.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Well, Joe Biden apparently had a couple of turkeys to
pardon this Thanksgiving Pardon the pun Mark Mayfield has our
today in politics.
Speaker 17 (24:29):
President Biden has said he would not use his authority
to pardon his son Hunter, but he's changed his mind.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Sir le Cussler reports.
Speaker 18 (24:36):
The President issued a statement Sunday saying no reasonable person
looking at the facts in Hunter's criminal case could conclude
that Hunter wasn't singled out because he's my son. Biden
said there was an effort to break Hunter, which internment
trying to break the president. Hunter was convicted on federal
gun charges. He's also due to be sentenced this month
(24:57):
in a separate criminal case after pleading Gil in September
to federal tax evasion. The pardon covers the guilty plea
and the gun conviction.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Titald Trump had some news of his own over the weekend.
The President elect is nominating Cash Patel to serve as
the director of the FBI.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Chris Caratio has details.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Patel was the former chief of staff to the Acting
Secretary of Defense during Trump's first administration. In his announcement,
Trump called Patel an American first fighter who has spent
his career exposing corruption, defending justice, and protecting the American people.
Patel has called for a purge of perceived enemies in
the FBI, Justice Department, and American intelligence agencies. He's also
(25:37):
promoted conspiracy theories that the twenty twenty election was stolen
and that federal employees were part of a deep state
trying to overthrow Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm Chris Kragio.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
President Elect Trump is either negotiating or threatening a coalition
of non Western countries with one hundred percent tariffs if
they abandoned the US dollar.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
More from Lisa Cardin.
Speaker 19 (25:57):
The Briggs Coalition includes Brazil, Russia, in China, and South Africa.
On Saturday, Trump said he wants the coalition to promise
that they will not create a new currency or back
any other currency besides the US dollar, and warned if
they do, he'll impose huge tariffs. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
And today it's just another cyber Monday, Scott car.
Speaker 20 (26:20):
With Black Friday and Small Business Saturday over. Retailers say
cyber Monday may be the last chance for shoppers to
get the deals they want on the items they want,
and particularly for younger shoppers, seems to have a growing
appeal over shopping during a.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Holiday, maybe like four years ago. I don't know, but yeah,
I feel like it's not only a thing anymore. I've
done that like once before. I've went once on like Thanksgiving.
I don't like it. I rather go, like do Cyber Monday.
I feel like Cyber Monday is more of like ahead.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 20 (26:46):
Adobe Analytics says this year's cyber Monday could be the
biggest online shopping day in US history, estimating retailers could
break in some thirteen point two billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's being
tracked by Norrad.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Lisa Carton has that story.
Speaker 19 (27:05):
Me Christmas, Santa's in a good move this year because
nor Rad is tracking him. Today, the North American Aerospace
Defense Command will launch its Norrad Track Santa website, which
features a holiday countdown, games, holiday music, and more in
Santa's North Pole Village. Santa Tracking will begin at four
am Eastern Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Me Christmas, you go, Santa. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Titans, the Cardinals both lost, Seahawks Commanders, Rams and Tampa
all won. And last night in a snow globe boy
that was feeling like December football Bill's thirty five to
ten big over San Francisco. Monday Football Tonight is a
mile high Brown's and the Broncos and birthdays today. Singer
Britney Spears is forty two years old, Charlie Pooth is
thirty two. Aaron Rodgers, who looked pretty good for the
(27:53):
Jets this weekend, especially at forty, and actress Lucy Lewis
fifty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so
glad you were born and thanks for making us a
part of your big day.
Speaker 15 (28:02):
It's your Morning show with Michael Delchock.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I just love John Decker.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know, while everyone was discussing the narrative portion of
the pardon last night, John Decker was focused on the
language of the actual pardon. The guy's a Supreme Court
bar attorney. He can't stop being an attorney.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah. I think the language of the pardon.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Itself, if you focus on that, tells you a lot
more than the narrative that everybody took the bait on John,
Good Morning. How shocking is this news and how related
to the cash Patel nomination might it be? As everyone's
trying to figure out why now? Why not wait a
couple of weeks or over the holidays, let's start with
the pardon of Hunter Biden.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, the timing no one can ever predict when an
actual partner is going to be issued by a president,
so the timing always surprises everybody, and it comes just
ahead of Joe Biden heading to Apple for the next
few days, so he won't be taking any questions. You
can certainly imagine on this particular issue, did not answer
a shouted question of him as he boarded Air Force
(29:10):
one last night. But it comes as no surprise that
Joe Biden issued this pardon for Hunter Biden. I mean,
let's face it, he's a father. No father wants to
see their son go to prison, and you know, if
he has the power to prevent that, he's going to
exercise that power.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's exactly what he did with.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
His presidential pardon. But as you point out, and as
I noticed, you know, and looking at the language.
Speaker 12 (29:31):
Of the part, it is pretty sweeping.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
It is I'm sure, Michael at growing up like you,
like me, we played Monopoly, you know that get out
a free card, get out a free jail card. That's
what this is for Hunter Biden.
Speaker 12 (29:46):
It covers any actions that took.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Place by Hunter Biden as it relates to potential offenses
against the US from January the first of twenty fourteen
through December first of twenty twenty four almost eleven full
years of the get out of jail free card for
Hunter Biden.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
The exact wording is for those offenses against the United
States which he has committed or may have committed or
taken pardon during that period of January first, twenty fourteen
to twenty twenty four So what it screams out is,
this isn't just about the gun charges, This isn't about
the tax evasion. This is about anything he's done, may
(30:25):
have done, or may have been a part of. And
then you go to the January first, twenty fourteen through
twenty twenty four what immediately came to my mind was
him and the big guys deal in China, and if
Cash Pattel should decide to really open that up wide
and start revealing some stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Do you think this was a.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Panic pardon over Patel or a pardon himself along the
way along with his son for what may be coming.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Well, we don't know if Cash Battel.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
Is going to be confirmed. You know, there's still an.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
FBI director, and that FBI director, Christopher Ray, still has
three years left in his term, so he would need
to resign or be fired by Donald Trump. And we
don't know what the agenda is by either the incoming
FBI director, whoever that is, nor do we know the
agenda of the incoming head of the Department of Justice,
Tam Bondy assuming she's confirmed.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
But I think.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
That they, being the Biden family, is concerned about the
Justice Department the FBI coming after them after they leave office.
And that's the reason why you see this blanket pardon
given for Hunter Biden, because it goes all the way
back when Hunter Biden.
Speaker 12 (31:34):
Was influence peddling. There's nothing criminal about.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
That, by the way, but it doesn't look right. Certainly
is unseemly, But it's using the influence that he had
as a private citizen because his father was vice President
of the United States, to get access to some pretty
lucrative financial deals over the course.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Of that time.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
I'm just married to an attorney. I have a friend
who is actually a bar Supreme Court bar attorney. So
what about for Joe though, if if Joe was trading favors,
isn't that aren't there some abusive power charges?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
By way?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
There might be some perjury along the way for both
of them.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Well, you know, I think that if Republicans want to
go down that road, they certainly can do so. As
you know, the votes are not there to convict a
former president. In the US Senate, it's a fifty three
forty seven majority that Republicans have you need sixty seven
to convict. Despite what happens in the House, we're a
simple majority. So like to me, you know, one hundred
(32:34):
days is valuable time. Do you want to use that
one hundred days, you know, to go after pass grievances
or do you want to you know, proceed with trying
to move forward with an agenda and aggressive agenda that
Donald Trump has on a variety of fronts, illegal immigration,
the economy, including trade tariffs.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
That's I think.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
The focus or should be the focus of an incoming
administration rather than looking at issues related to pass grievances
and investigations into the past. There's time for that. You
have four full years to do that, but certainly in
the first one hundred days, I think that's a lost
opportunity if.
Speaker 12 (33:07):
You do that.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
All right, John Decker as always stellar. Great to talk
to you this morning. I missed you for a week.
By the way, John's the only one that texted me.
My other two didn't. They liked the donna who was
filling in. They didn't like me. We're all in this together.
