Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. Thank you,
Mike McCann seven minutes after the hour. You know, I'd
like to think there are mornings here having a bad
day or bad time, or going through a tough season,
and maybe we do something that cheers you up. I
can tell you've all cheered me up today. Wow, having
a blast. I'm going to revisit Karen and her talk
(00:51):
back in a minute, but first we got two others
we want to get in, and then I want to
get to this story. If you want to talk to us,
go to the iHeartRadio app. If you're listening on that,
you'll see a Mike phone. Press it it count you
down three, two one, and then you can instead of
rotting on hold like the old days of talk radio.
You ask your question, you leave your message, and they
air just like this, just like magic. Here's Brian listening
(01:11):
to I think in ames Iowa. M that's it, okay,
Cami Wine and pizza Boy. I'm tired too. I'm at
urg right now, being at twelve and I'm at work
at fact. You waited, Yeah, it was the the fifteen
hours prior to that that he had, the eight days
(01:34):
prior to that. I don't care. Uh, Woody, I think
he is listening on KFYI in Phoenix as well.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Warning Michael, it's Woody and p or Arizona. Hey, there
is one pardon I will predict that President Trump will
make on January twentieth. If the New York jury gets
it wrong and convicts Daniel Penny, I predict President Trump
will pardon him and wrap that pardon up and shove
it up. Corrupt da braggs caboose.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I think that, you know what, there's just no telling
in this kamikaze President. I think I'll leave it at
Hunter was not going to be the most shocking and
wasn't going to be the biggest. He was just the first.
I think the biggest still leans towards being Joe himself
and whether or not that believe and be constitutional. Of course,
(02:27):
preemptive pardons becomes the next big constitutional question for the
Supreme Court. I never heard of such a thing. I
want to replay just in case you didn't hear it.
This is Karen listening to KFII in Phoenix, and she
had this comment about Chicago.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
As a former Chicago resident now living in Scottsdale. Thank you,
thank you for calling out Chicago and what these lunatics
have done to a once great city.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's a shame. What she's commenting on is yesterday, and
you can always go to the podcast and listen. It
was a tale of two cities. In New York City.
You had the mayor trying and pleading with the people
of New York City to understand what the Biden administration
has done to their city. Six point four billion dollars
(03:19):
has been the price tag of flooding over a quarter
of a million illegals into New York City. It's unsustainable,
it's unaffordable. But he did a brilliant job of not
just saying, you know, what's another couple of billion dollars
and then he laid out because that's the sin of commission.
Then he laid out the sins of a mission where
(03:39):
that six billion dollars would have gone. It's equal to
the number one priority of municipal government, which is law
enforcement public safety. It's twice as much as the firefighting budget.
But then he started laying out what it was going
to do for seniors, what it was going to do
for kids, and for schools. And at the end it
(04:01):
was almost sad. If the mayor of New York City,
a Democrat, pleading with the people in New York City,
you should be outraged at what they're doing to us,
what this administration has done to us. And yeah, I'm
gonna sit down with whoever Trump has in leadership at
ice and we're going to talk deportation. So that was
(04:21):
the tale from New York, a mayor that gets it,
begging the people to care and get it. Whereas in
Chicago you have the people who get it. They were
at the city council meeting with the new mayor no
better than Lori lightfit what the previous mayor and just
laying it out to them. And there's just the council
(04:44):
and the mayor standing in defiance. So in New York,
the mayor gets it begging the people to get it.
In Chicago, the people get it begging their government to
get it. And Karen's right. I mean, I grew up
in the seventies in Arlington Heights, which is a northwest
suburb of Chicago. I believed it to be the greatest
(05:06):
city on the on the planet earth, clean, beautiful, best people,
best of food. I lived the New Orleans two, best food, Chicago.
Last time I was in Chicago, we were staying in
a hotel and we were walking to the Field Museum
on Lake Shore Drive and I passed, you know, like
(05:31):
there's a whole rural cars on the street, like maybe
sixty seventy cars, every single one with the windows patched out,
some looking like they'd been rifled through and things were taken.
That isn't a Chicago I grew up. In crime stats,
It's right up there with Tulsa. I moved to tuls
(05:52):
Oklahoma in the eighties, and it was a crown jewel.
We didn't even talk about it. In fact, if you
did meet some of these we were from you said
you were from Tulsa. You never said Oklahoma. I don't
have to. You don't picture tumbleweeds. We got hills, we
got trees. We're green country. It's gorgeous, it's safe. We're
nothing but gorgeous neighborhoods and great people. Now it's crime
(06:17):
infested Casino Haven. It's disgusting. It is. It's a shame
on Chicago. You probably can't bear hearing anymore, can you.
You might ask the question today, does anything work properly
in Chicago? Well, here's a triple failure for you. They're
(06:41):
having a problem with chronic absenteeism. And I know what
you're thinking. Yeah, kids aren't going to school. No, teachers
aren't showing up for work. I know we're not supposed
to laugh at these, but it's just like, all of
the sudden, nobody's sweeping this stuff under the rug anymore.
The left worldview has failed, completely failed. Absenteeism by teachers
(07:14):
of more than ten days, students failing to learn, teachers
wanting more pay. They're failing and demanding a raise. In fact,
this is poor Karen. I know you're probably not gonna
be able to handle this. The Chicago Teachers Union is
making a fifty billion dollar demand, and you want to
(07:35):
see what their focus is it about. We want to
show up for work every day. We want to get
these test scores up. No, it's a fifty billion dollar
demand for all unused school facilities to be turned into
migrant housing. What does that have to do with educating children.
(07:58):
They want police free schools. They're in the shooting capital
of the world. Yeah, let's keep We don't want to
any cops in our school. Fully paid abortions for its members,
annual training on LGBTQ issues, nine percent wage increase for teachers.
(08:18):
When I give you the test scores alone, you're gonna
say what, I don't see why they are deserving a raise,
let alone. They have an absenteeism problem. Chicago eighth graders
reading twenty one percent proficient sixteen percent, proficiency in math
(08:41):
seven percent in science, twenty three percent in writing. There's
two ways to look at this, right, Well, no, wonder
the proficiency in writing is twenty three percent, reading, twenty
one percent, math, sixteen percent, science seven percent. Because they
(09:01):
have a absentee problem with teachers and when they are
there or not there, what are they focused on? Turning
schools into migrant housing, paid abortions for themselves annual training
on LGBTQ issues, but their job is to educate children,
(09:27):
prepare them for the workforce, or prepare them for higher education.
They are enormously failing and have the nerve to ask
for a pay increase as they're focused on LGBTQ issues,
abortion for themselves, police free schools, and using all on
US schools for migrant housing. Or would we even begin
(09:51):
I don't know which to do heor would we even
begin to discuss this? Listen, if they don't have the
sense to do it, and they may not, Chicago Teachers Union,
you might want to put yourselves on that preemptive Barton
list on your head.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It Wow, it's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
This is Patrick from Christiana, Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
As I worked re stocking the shelves at my place
at work in Murphreesboro, I'm listening to your morning radio show,
which is my morning radio show, and with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So close, they were right there. You're so ungrateful. All
the matters is that he's you know, we're getting through
this together, that we're doing it together, that he's stocking
the shelves so I could go for a fake Newton
right now? Oh god, but all right, technically Jeff wants
you to say, like you could have done everything else
(10:48):
you just did about stocking the shelf. Yeah, and just
then just go to and my morning show is your
morning show with Michael del Journo. I appreciate it, matter
how you say it. And by the way, I would
have thrown in where you work. Get a shameless plugin,
get a freebie pro twenty four minutes after the hour.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
ear and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I am Michael,
(11:09):
you are you? Jeffrey's controlling the board. Redd is here
and we can't have your morning show without your voice,
and oh we love your voice. Suffer not from w
DOV and dover Delaware Art.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
As an educator, it is hard to want to go
to work every day when you're dealing with all the
woke stuff that's going on in our society.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I'm in Delaware.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
One of the most embarrassing parts of my job is
knowing that we were one of the first to start
saying that kids can come to school and you have
to identify whatever they want to identify with it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Give me some days off. No, I'm not going to
give you days off, but I am going to have
courage for you. I don't even have for myself. And
the guys all said, tell them to move to Tennessee.
That's just the kind of teachers we love. No, stay
right where you're at. That's where the light is needed. Listen,
(12:15):
not a priest, not a grandfather, not a mother or
a father. A teacher changed my life and changed it forever,
not dramatically, literally forever. You need to be right there now.
(12:39):
There's two ways to focus on it. Is that frustrating? Yes,
By the way, if you just tuned in, we just
described what's going on in Chicago. You have a teachers
union making a sixty billion dollar demand. They want a
nine percent wage increase. They don't deserve anything. They deserve
(13:00):
to be fired. But that's not even what they're focused on.
Fifty billion dollar demand for unused school facilities to be
turned into migrant housing, to be police free in all
of their schools in the shooting capital of the world,
to have fully paid abortions for their members, annual training
on LGBTQ issues, all while they the students themselves have
(13:24):
a twenty three percent proficiency in writing, twenty one percent
proficiency and reading, sixteen percent proficiency in math, and seven
percent proficiency in science. They need arts. It's arts out
there that are the heroes. It's the arts out there
that are preparing your kids for citizenry, for the workforce.
There's always two kinds of teachers, right those that it's
(13:47):
their vocation, it's their gifting, it's their purpose, and year
by year, even though the kids walk into that room
muddeling you school again. I bring up one teacher was
mister k and fourth grade in Arlington Heights. First teacher
(14:09):
I ever got, first teacher I ever liked. First teacher
that made it interesting. Later in high school a teacher
and a coach that would change my life forever and eternally.
You teachers make all the difference in the world. Sometimes
you're there giving but should have been gotten at home.
(14:31):
Now there's other people doing their agenda in their worldview
and being among that. But that's everywhere art. I just
left a company or from the very top I was
getting nonsense like that and being told what I could
say and couldn't say. Praise God, I'll say it right
out loud now I were for Ihearten premiere, and I
(14:54):
could speak the truth with confidence, with love and protection.
But I want to encourage you art. Don't focus on that.
Even if it's just one child. It sounds like in
Delaware they need art more than anywhere else. You go,
be art today. You take as many with you as
(15:17):
you can, for those that want to learn, for those
that want to prepare, for those who are truly gifted
and purposed, go make a difference in their life today.
I think you're right where you need to be. And
for everybody listening, pray for our teachers. This is what
they go through every single day. There's a scripture that
haunts me in the Bible. Do not grow weary in
doing good? And you only get to that point where
(15:40):
you grow weary is if you think you know what
the scoreboard is. You'll never know the scoreboard. You do
as under the Lord, and you trust that no word
returns void, no good effort. You just keep seeding and watering.
(16:02):
But can you imagine for all of us that gripe.
Could there be a tougher place on earth right now
than a classroom in public education? I have high hopes
for school choice of high hopes for Donald Trump. I
have high hopes for dismantling the government's hand over education.
But in the meantime, you're in the obedience business, you're
(16:25):
in the calling vocation business. Leave the results to God.
Are I feel for you, but I beg you to
stay because someone's going to school today and they're very
lucky when they get there that you're at the front
of the classroom. God bless you.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Ard this esteem the wrestler a refugee from the People's
Republic of Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
del Jornal. To me, Michael, your morning show can be
heard live five to eight am Central, six to nine
Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
(17:09):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. There's
a million things to speculate here. Do we know any
more about why? First the why would someone want to
kill the CEO?
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Well, I think some of the most interesting evidence came
with the disclosure in the first report from ABC News
that the bullet casings had writing on them, specifically the
words deny, defend, and depose, which would suggest emphasis there
that this is somehow related to the healthcare decisions made
by United Health Group and the policy decisions that may
(17:43):
have been made. The widow has confirmed that there were
threats made against her husband, but she didn't have any
specifics whether it was an employee, something personal, or someone
whose policy claim had been denied. But those the writing
on the casings would suggest that this relates to United
United Health Group's healthcare policy activity.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And that's how that's where I ended up. Red had
a whole other interesting angle, but that's where I ended
up because what was he going to speak about at
his big you know, he was going to talk about
the level of profits, and so people are hurting. I mean,
your first thought is somebody lost their job, or somebody
was denied coverage, their kid was sick, and they're bragging
(18:27):
about how many hundreds of billions in profit they've made
boom that, and the bullets would suggest that to me,
saying and look, this was the investor conference, So this
was all the hedge fund managers and all the big
stockbrokers on Wall Street who were going to get a
pitch from Thompson and other top executives about you.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Know how great twenty twenty five was going to be
for the company. So that was this investor relations day
that had been set up at the Midtown Hilton there,
So it was Thompson had flown in for the event.
He lives in Minnesota, so this gunman clearly knew Thompson's
activities and the fact that he'd be walking by at
this place roughly at this time to be targeted like this.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So we got three bullets with three words an assassin
lying in wait now on the run the casings. You
have the bullets of Courser in there, and then some
pretty close up pictures of him in surveillance though he
was wearing a mask from the nose down with a
hoodie on. Of course, it was cold, so that wouldn't
(19:30):
even have looked odd. But that's about all we got
to go on, right.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Well, we also know that there was a cell phone
left behind, as well as a water bottle and a
wrapper from a power bar, maybe a candy bar or
something like that, so there may be DNA.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Or fingerprint evidence there.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Also a cell phone would be a treasure trove of data,
and if he was the good surveillance pictures. Again, the
face is covered, but the best quality video is from
that Starbucks. And if he paid with a debit guard
or a credit card, easy easy to trace. In that scenario,
it looks like this is me guessing and speculating. I'll
bet they know who it is. They're just trying to
(20:08):
find them.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, Rett, do you want to run your theory or no?
Sorry about that. No, it was before the actual casing
came out, but I thought maybe I had something to
do with the shorting of the stock. Sure, yeah, the
shorting of the stock. And then yeah, no, I think
(20:31):
we're on the right track, Rory, with our train of
thought on this, and hopefully there'll be some progress. Can
I just tell you the one thing that looks really
inconsistent to me, because we're already in conjecture and playing
crime podcast with US Law and Order right, Well, the
guy was so eerily smooth. I'm trying to remember the movie.
(20:52):
It's driving me crazy. It's why I can't have a
good train of thought. Who's the Italian actor? I love?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He was the assassin and he kept changing his appearance.
Stanley Tucci. There was a movie with Stanley Tucci. Uh,
and he was the assassin. That's how this was. I
mean even the gun even you could tell by the
way he shot, I mean he was trained, he took
a position. I mean, it was very very professional. And
then he's across the street. I mean, first of all,
(21:21):
you can't everything. We're in a surveillance society right now,
so you can't come into crime anyway. There's gonna be
videos from seven different angles. But I mean the notion
that you would leave your phone, you would leave some
DNA on a on an everything was so professional. And
then what we're going to finally catch him for all
the unprofessional things. I don't think. I don't think a
pro would have gone in the back. I think the
(21:42):
pro would have shot in the chest versus in the back. Yeah,
well okay, but everything else was very eerily professional. When
you agree, I mean.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Rehearsed, Yeah, rehearsed, practiced, but yeah, and I think there
was something that this man had been plotting or planning
for a long time. But it seemed the weapon again
we believe, had a silencer on it, and it appears
to have jammed a couple of times, and he coolly
was able to get it operational.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So, yeah, it was chilling to watch. I Rory's going
to be back next hour. We've got lots to talk about.
Airline CEOs went before Congress to defend the chunk seating
fees and generate billions of dollars in revenue. I'm chuckling
because and who knows what the citizen reaction to this
could be. They might want to be careful. Some people
(22:34):
seem to be taking the law into their own hands.
All right, Ory, we'll talk about that next hour. Also,
I have my Globe trotter story and Davids and I
he's going to join us to discuss what about Christmas
in nineteen seventy three can teach us to help understand
Christmas in twenty twenty four? Stick around for that all
straight ahead. And John Deckers can report on President elect
Trump considering his replacements for Defense Secretary. We'll do that
(22:56):
coming up in minutes from now. If you're just waking up,
it is forty three minutes after the things you need
to know this is I have a spinning ball right now,
So I'm afraid to move on because I don't Yeah,
it's gonna do that spot. How I'm gonna wait for this, Okay,
(23:17):
not long if you're just waking up. President elect Trump
is asking to have his Georgia criminal election interference case
thrown out now. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Trump's two federal cases have already been tossed, and he's
attempting to do the same with his hush money case
in New York. The president elect is accused of attempting
to overturn the twenty twenty election results in Georgia. In
a court filing, lawyer Steve Sadau said the case should
be thrown out before Trump is inaugurated in January.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I'm Brian Shook. You know it wasn't until I was
stacking this newscast this morning did a dawn on me.
Do you realize that President Donald Trump? I know he's
done some Sean Hannity and I can't think of a
time in history. Trump has not done a network interview
since election Day and that unheard of historically. And he's
(24:06):
finally going to do it, and it's going to be Sunday,
and it's going to be NBC's Meet the Press. Mark
Mayfield has more.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
The Networks has the interview with the show moderator Kristen
Welker will be taped to Friday than air Sunday morning.
Clips of the interview will be released prior to the show.
Welker interviewed Trump for NBC News in September of twenty
twenty three, which ended up being his only network sit
down during the twenty twenty four presidential campaign.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Meanwhile, the former presidents and battled pick
for Defense secretaries on Capitol Hill once again. Lisa Taylor
has that story.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Pete Hegseth is attending meetings with senators who would decide
whether or not to confirm him.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
Your job is to make sure that it's lethality, lethality, lethality,
everything else is gone. Everything else that distracts from that
shouldn't be happening. That's the message I'm hearing from senators
in that advising content process.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's been a wonderful process.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
Despite a report that he could be replaced by Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis, Hegsas says he's not withdrawing his name
from consideration. Egg Seth has embroiled in multiple misconduct allegations.
The Washington Post reports heg Seth will visit Trump at
is Mari Lago Estate in Florida. Thursday, Iley's a Taylor.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Seniors in America are paying more for healthcare than seniors
in other wealthy countries. Sara Lee Kessler has that story.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
A Commonwealth Fund survey shows about twenty five percent of
American seniors spent at least two thousand dollars out.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Of pocket on healthcare last year.
Speaker 12 (25:25):
Researchers say under five percent of seniors in France and
the Netherlands spend that much. The study also shows those
in Australia, Germany, and Sweden and several other countries spent
less on healthcare than seniors in America. I'm Sarah Lee
Kessen five.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh so sick for I could scream. Taylor Swift is
Spotify's most streamed artist of the year globally for the
second year in a row. The rest of the top
five includes The Weekend, Bad Bunny, Never Heard Of Drake,
Billie Eilish. Women dominated the top five streaming albums around
the world, with Swift's The Tortured Poet's Department The Anthology
(26:04):
topping the list.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Delton.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I didn't know we were on an erie Pennsylvania did you.
I'm surprised daily at the places. Okay, yeah, listening on
w j E T and Erie, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 13 (26:22):
Danny, this is Dan calling from snow buried, Erie, Pennsylvania,
getting through my morning waiting for more snow. Your morning
show is my morning stalls with your host Michael Joe.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Another's messing with me? All right? Could somebody just it's
whatever you say prior to that, Let's see what I'm
Danny buried in snow in Erie, Pennsylvania. And then just
go to and my morning show is your morning show
with Michael. Everybody's get it. I wonder if Decker would
get it right today. Decker would get John. Everybody is
(26:59):
to tea one up for you, which I don't hesitate
because you're brilliant and I don't have to talk to
you beforehand. But we did this whole story on the
political story Biden White House discussing preemptive pardons for those
in the Trump crosshairs, and we're like, well, how do
you do a preemptive pardon? How do you pardon somebody
hasn't been accused or tried or convicted or sentenced, and
(27:19):
these are preemptive pardons ahead of time? How would that
stand up in court, Well.
Speaker 14 (27:26):
It would be language similar to the language that Gerald
Ford had for his preemptive pardon of Richard Nixon, covering
all actions of an individual that may be criminal content
during the course of their time in office, if we're
talking about a politician, or just during a course of
(27:48):
a period of time, if we're talking about a private
citizen like Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
All right, So, but I always thought like in the
case of like Daniel Penny, for example, that one you
would have a party that's a state case, right, So
it has to be a federal case to be to
be pardoned, doesn't it.
Speaker 14 (28:05):
Yeah, we're talking about federal crimes or potential crimes that
you can't you know, if you're a president. The pardon
power doesn't apply to state crimes or state charges.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Who do we think they're thinking about on this?
Speaker 14 (28:23):
I think that I think that there are a number
of individuals that would fall under this category, including Liz Cheney,
including you know that that's someone who is a public
figure served in Congress, and also including Jim Biden, who
was involved in several business deals with Hunter Biden over
the course of the past decades. So those are two
(28:46):
individuals that could perhaps be given one of these.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So called preemptive party or maybe Anthony Fauci, right, that'd
be another one that could be big on the list.
Speaker 14 (28:55):
That'd be another one.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Absolutely, What about Joe himself? Could that be on the list?
Speaker 14 (29:01):
Hard to say, it's never been tested before. I find that,
you know, nothing surprises me these days. But I don't
think that that's at the top of the list.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
But you never know. Visiting with White House correspondent John Decker,
who has to be a Supreme Court bar attorney, and
the other thing we wanted to kick around with you,
is this this whole notion that's being kicked around that
Donald Trump kind of changed things up in the press room.
In other words, why do we still have all these
network people when you know, maybe it should be Joe Rogan,
(29:32):
maybe it should be Tucker Carlson or a podcaster or
this or that. How might that be received by the
people in your And I'm not saying you're a part
of a click, but you guys are a close knit
group in the White House press pool. I mean, I
can just imagine how CBSNBC, ABC, Fox, the Associated Press
is going to react to, you know, podcasters being in there,
(29:52):
but I think that's where the audience is and they
should be represented maybe well.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
Historically, the way that the seats are assigned in the
press briefing room at the White House is done by
the group that represents the White House Press Court. It's
called the White House Correspondence Association. I used to be
on that board, and that board determines the seating assignments
and changes up the seating assignments every few years. I
(30:19):
think about two years ago is when they looked at
the seating assignments most recently, if this incoming White House
wanted to say, you know what, although WHCA you've handled
this process for the past, you know, half a century,
we're going to change the process. We're going to decide
who is going to occupy that seats. That is solely
(30:42):
up to the White House. And if the White House
wants to go through that, you know they certainly can
do that. To me, it's an unnecessary fight. And you know,
even though someone may not have a seat in the
briefing room, if someone is president in the brief room,
that press secretary can call on that person. That's something
that Caroline Lever could certainly do when she assumes the
(31:04):
role of White House Best Secretary in the new year.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Mintel, Joano
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. Thank you,
Mike McCann seven minutes after the hour. You know, I'd
like to think there are mornings here having a bad
day or bad time, or going through a tough season,
and maybe we do something that cheers you up. I
can tell you've all cheered me up today. Wow, having
a blast. I'm going to revisit Karen and her talk
(00:51):
back in a minute, but first we got two others
we want to get in, and then I want to
get to this story. If you want to talk to us,
go to the iHeartRadio app. If you're listening on that,
you'll see a Mike phone. Press it it count you
down three, two one, and then you can instead of
rotting on hold like the old days of talk radio.
You ask your question, you leave your message, and they
air just like this, just like magic. Here's Brian listening
(01:11):
to I think in ames Iowa. M that's it, okay,
Cami Wine and pizza Boy. I'm tired too. I'm at
urg right now, being at twelve and I'm at work
at fact. You waited, Yeah, it was the the fifteen
hours prior to that that he had, the eight days
(01:34):
prior to that. I don't care. Uh, Woody, I think
he is listening on KFYI in Phoenix as well.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Warning Michael, it's Woody and p or Arizona. Hey, there
is one pardon I will predict that President Trump will
make on January twentieth. If the New York jury gets
it wrong and convicts Daniel Penny, I predict President Trump
will pardon him and wrap that pardon up and shove
it up. Corrupt da braggs caboose.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I think that, you know what, there's just no telling
in this kamikaze President. I think I'll leave it at
Hunter was not going to be the most shocking and
wasn't going to be the biggest. He was just the first.
I think the biggest still leans towards being Joe himself
and whether or not that believe and be constitutional. Of course,
(02:27):
preemptive pardons becomes the next big constitutional question for the
Supreme Court. I never heard of such a thing. I
want to replay just in case you didn't hear it.
This is Karen listening to KFII in Phoenix, and she
had this comment about Chicago.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
As a former Chicago resident now living in Scottsdale. Thank you,
thank you for calling out Chicago and what these lunatics
have done to a once great city.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's a shame. What she's commenting on is yesterday, and
you can always go to the podcast and listen. It
was a tale of two cities. In New York City.
You had the mayor trying and pleading with the people
of New York City to understand what the Biden administration
has done to their city. Six point four billion dollars
(03:19):
has been the price tag of flooding over a quarter
of a million illegals into New York City. It's unsustainable,
it's unaffordable. But he did a brilliant job of not
just saying, you know, what's another couple of billion dollars
and then he laid out because that's the sin of commission.
Then he laid out the sins of a mission where
(03:39):
that six billion dollars would have gone. It's equal to
the number one priority of municipal government, which is law
enforcement public safety. It's twice as much as the firefighting budget.
But then he started laying out what it was going
to do for seniors, what it was going to do
for kids, and for schools. And at the end it
(04:01):
was almost sad. If the mayor of New York City,
a Democrat, pleading with the people in New York City,
you should be outraged at what they're doing to us,
what this administration has done to us. And yeah, I'm
gonna sit down with whoever Trump has in leadership at
ice and we're going to talk deportation. So that was
(04:21):
the tale from New York, a mayor that gets it,
begging the people to care and get it. Whereas in
Chicago you have the people who get it. They were
at the city council meeting with the new mayor no
better than Lori lightfit what the previous mayor and just
laying it out to them. And there's just the council
(04:44):
and the mayor standing in defiance. So in New York,
the mayor gets it begging the people to get it.
In Chicago, the people get it begging their government to
get it. And Karen's right. I mean, I grew up
in the seventies in Arlington Heights, which is a northwest
suburb of Chicago. I believed it to be the greatest
(05:06):
city on the on the planet earth, clean, beautiful, best people,
best of food. I lived the New Orleans two, best food, Chicago.
Last time I was in Chicago, we were staying in
a hotel and we were walking to the Field Museum
on Lake Shore Drive and I passed, you know, like
(05:31):
there's a whole rural cars on the street, like maybe
sixty seventy cars, every single one with the windows patched out,
some looking like they'd been rifled through and things were taken.
That isn't a Chicago I grew up. In crime stats,
It's right up there with Tulsa. I moved to tuls
(05:52):
Oklahoma in the eighties, and it was a crown jewel.
We didn't even talk about it. In fact, if you
did meet some of these we were from you said
you were from Tulsa. You never said Oklahoma. I don't
have to. You don't picture tumbleweeds. We got hills, we
got trees. We're green country. It's gorgeous, it's safe. We're
nothing but gorgeous neighborhoods and great people. Now it's crime
(06:17):
infested Casino Haven. It's disgusting. It is. It's a shame
on Chicago. You probably can't bear hearing anymore, can you.
You might ask the question today, does anything work properly
in Chicago? Well, here's a triple failure for you. They're
(06:41):
having a problem with chronic absenteeism. And I know what
you're thinking. Yeah, kids aren't going to school. No, teachers
aren't showing up for work. I know we're not supposed
to laugh at these, but it's just like, all of
the sudden, nobody's sweeping this stuff under the rug anymore.
The left worldview has failed, completely failed. Absenteeism by teachers
(07:14):
of more than ten days, students failing to learn, teachers
wanting more pay. They're failing and demanding a raise. In fact,
this is poor Karen. I know you're probably not gonna
be able to handle this. The Chicago Teachers Union is
making a fifty billion dollar demand, and you want to
(07:35):
see what their focus is it about. We want to
show up for work every day. We want to get
these test scores up. No, it's a fifty billion dollar
demand for all unused school facilities to be turned into
migrant housing. What does that have to do with educating children.
(07:58):
They want police free schools. They're in the shooting capital
of the world. Yeah, let's keep We don't want to
any cops in our school. Fully paid abortions for its members,
annual training on LGBTQ issues, nine percent wage increase for teachers.
(08:18):
When I give you the test scores alone, you're gonna
say what, I don't see why they are deserving a raise,
let alone. They have an absenteeism problem. Chicago eighth graders
reading twenty one percent proficient sixteen percent, proficiency in math
(08:41):
seven percent in science, twenty three percent in writing. There's
two ways to look at this, right, Well, no, wonder
the proficiency in writing is twenty three percent, reading, twenty
one percent, math, sixteen percent, science seven percent. Because they
(09:01):
have a absentee problem with teachers and when they are
there or not there, what are they focused on? Turning
schools into migrant housing, paid abortions for themselves annual training
on LGBTQ issues, but their job is to educate children,
(09:27):
prepare them for the workforce, or prepare them for higher education.
They are enormously failing and have the nerve to ask
for a pay increase as they're focused on LGBTQ issues,
abortion for themselves, police free schools, and using all on
US schools for migrant housing. Or would we even begin
(09:51):
I don't know which to do heor would we even
begin to discuss this? Listen, if they don't have the
sense to do it, and they may not, Chicago Teachers Union,
you might want to put yourselves on that preemptive Barton
list on your head.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It Wow, it's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
This is Patrick from Christiana, Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
As I worked re stocking the shelves at my place
at work in Murphreesboro, I'm listening to your morning radio show,
which is my morning radio show, and with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So close, they were right there. You're so ungrateful. All
the matters is that he's you know, we're getting through
this together, that we're doing it together, that he's stocking
the shelves so I could go for a fake Newton
right now? Oh god, but all right, technically Jeff wants
you to say, like you could have done everything else
(10:48):
you just did about stocking the shelf. Yeah, and just
then just go to and my morning show is your
morning show with Michael del Journo. I appreciate it, matter
how you say it. And by the way, I would
have thrown in where you work. Get a shameless plugin,
get a freebie pro twenty four minutes after the hour.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
ear and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I am Michael,
(11:09):
you are you? Jeffrey's controlling the board. Redd is here
and we can't have your morning show without your voice,
and oh we love your voice. Suffer not from w
DOV and dover Delaware Art.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
As an educator, it is hard to want to go
to work every day when you're dealing with all the
woke stuff that's going on in our society.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I'm in Delaware.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
One of the most embarrassing parts of my job is
knowing that we were one of the first to start
saying that kids can come to school and you have
to identify whatever they want to identify with it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Give me some days off. No, I'm not going to
give you days off, but I am going to have
courage for you. I don't even have for myself. And
the guys all said, tell them to move to Tennessee.
That's just the kind of teachers we love. No, stay
right where you're at. That's where the light is needed. Listen,
(12:15):
not a priest, not a grandfather, not a mother or
a father. A teacher changed my life and changed it forever,
not dramatically, literally forever. You need to be right there now.
(12:39):
There's two ways to focus on it. Is that frustrating? Yes,
By the way, if you just tuned in, we just
described what's going on in Chicago. You have a teachers
union making a sixty billion dollar demand. They want a
nine percent wage increase. They don't deserve anything. They deserve
(13:00):
to be fired. But that's not even what they're focused on.
Fifty billion dollar demand for unused school facilities to be
turned into migrant housing, to be police free in all
of their schools in the shooting capital of the world,
to have fully paid abortions for their members, annual training
on LGBTQ issues, all while they the students themselves have
(13:24):
a twenty three percent proficiency in writing, twenty one percent
proficiency and reading, sixteen percent proficiency in math, and seven
percent proficiency in science. They need arts. It's arts out
there that are the heroes. It's the arts out there
that are preparing your kids for citizenry, for the workforce.
There's always two kinds of teachers, right those that it's
(13:47):
their vocation, it's their gifting, it's their purpose, and year
by year, even though the kids walk into that room
muddeling you school again. I bring up one teacher was
mister k and fourth grade in Arlington Heights. First teacher
(14:09):
I ever got, first teacher I ever liked. First teacher
that made it interesting. Later in high school a teacher
and a coach that would change my life forever and eternally.
You teachers make all the difference in the world. Sometimes
you're there giving but should have been gotten at home.
(14:31):
Now there's other people doing their agenda in their worldview
and being among that. But that's everywhere art. I just
left a company or from the very top I was
getting nonsense like that and being told what I could
say and couldn't say. Praise God, I'll say it right
out loud now I were for Ihearten premiere, and I
(14:54):
could speak the truth with confidence, with love and protection.
But I want to encourage you art. Don't focus on that.
Even if it's just one child. It sounds like in
Delaware they need art more than anywhere else. You go,
be art today. You take as many with you as
(15:17):
you can, for those that want to learn, for those
that want to prepare, for those who are truly gifted
and purposed, go make a difference in their life today.
I think you're right where you need to be. And
for everybody listening, pray for our teachers. This is what
they go through every single day. There's a scripture that
haunts me in the Bible. Do not grow weary in
doing good? And you only get to that point where
(15:40):
you grow weary is if you think you know what
the scoreboard is. You'll never know the scoreboard. You do
as under the Lord, and you trust that no word
returns void, no good effort. You just keep seeding and watering.
(16:02):
But can you imagine for all of us that gripe.
Could there be a tougher place on earth right now
than a classroom in public education? I have high hopes
for school choice of high hopes for Donald Trump. I
have high hopes for dismantling the government's hand over education.
But in the meantime, you're in the obedience business, you're
(16:25):
in the calling vocation business. Leave the results to God.
Are I feel for you, but I beg you to
stay because someone's going to school today and they're very
lucky when they get there that you're at the front
of the classroom. God bless you.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Ard this esteem the wrestler a refugee from the People's
Republic of Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael
del Jornal. To me, Michael, your morning show can be
heard live five to eight am Central, six to nine
Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
(17:09):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. There's
a million things to speculate here. Do we know any
more about why? First the why would someone want to
kill the CEO?
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Well, I think some of the most interesting evidence came
with the disclosure in the first report from ABC News
that the bullet casings had writing on them, specifically the
words deny, defend, and depose, which would suggest emphasis there
that this is somehow related to the healthcare decisions made
by United Health Group and the policy decisions that may
(17:43):
have been made. The widow has confirmed that there were
threats made against her husband, but she didn't have any
specifics whether it was an employee, something personal, or someone
whose policy claim had been denied. But those the writing
on the casings would suggest that this relates to United
United Health Group's healthcare policy activity.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And that's how that's where I ended up. Red had
a whole other interesting angle, but that's where I ended
up because what was he going to speak about at
his big you know, he was going to talk about
the level of profits, and so people are hurting. I mean,
your first thought is somebody lost their job, or somebody
was denied coverage, their kid was sick, and they're bragging
(18:27):
about how many hundreds of billions in profit they've made
boom that, and the bullets would suggest that to me,
saying and look, this was the investor conference, So this
was all the hedge fund managers and all the big
stockbrokers on Wall Street who were going to get a
pitch from Thompson and other top executives about you.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Know how great twenty twenty five was going to be
for the company. So that was this investor relations day
that had been set up at the Midtown Hilton there,
So it was Thompson had flown in for the event.
He lives in Minnesota, so this gunman clearly knew Thompson's
activities and the fact that he'd be walking by at
this place roughly at this time to be targeted like this.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So we got three bullets with three words an assassin
lying in wait now on the run the casings. You
have the bullets of Courser in there, and then some
pretty close up pictures of him in surveillance though he
was wearing a mask from the nose down with a
hoodie on. Of course, it was cold, so that wouldn't
(19:30):
even have looked odd. But that's about all we got
to go on, right.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Well, we also know that there was a cell phone
left behind, as well as a water bottle and a
wrapper from a power bar, maybe a candy bar or
something like that, so there may be DNA.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Or fingerprint evidence there.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Also a cell phone would be a treasure trove of data,
and if he was the good surveillance pictures. Again, the
face is covered, but the best quality video is from
that Starbucks. And if he paid with a debit guard
or a credit card, easy easy to trace. In that scenario,
it looks like this is me guessing and speculating. I'll
bet they know who it is. They're just trying to
(20:08):
find them.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, Rett, do you want to run your theory or no?
Sorry about that. No, it was before the actual casing
came out, but I thought maybe I had something to
do with the shorting of the stock. Sure, yeah, the
shorting of the stock. And then yeah, no, I think
(20:31):
we're on the right track, Rory, with our train of
thought on this, and hopefully there'll be some progress. Can
I just tell you the one thing that looks really
inconsistent to me, because we're already in conjecture and playing
crime podcast with US Law and Order right, Well, the
guy was so eerily smooth. I'm trying to remember the movie.
(20:52):
It's driving me crazy. It's why I can't have a
good train of thought. Who's the Italian actor? I love?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He was the assassin and he kept changing his appearance.
Stanley Tucci. There was a movie with Stanley Tucci. Uh,
and he was the assassin. That's how this was. I
mean even the gun even you could tell by the
way he shot, I mean he was trained, he took
a position. I mean, it was very very professional. And
then he's across the street. I mean, first of all,
(21:21):
you can't everything. We're in a surveillance society right now,
so you can't come into crime anyway. There's gonna be
videos from seven different angles. But I mean the notion
that you would leave your phone, you would leave some
DNA on a on an everything was so professional. And
then what we're going to finally catch him for all
the unprofessional things. I don't think. I don't think a
pro would have gone in the back. I think the
(21:42):
pro would have shot in the chest versus in the back. Yeah,
well okay, but everything else was very eerily professional. When
you agree, I mean.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Rehearsed, Yeah, rehearsed, practiced, but yeah, and I think there
was something that this man had been plotting or planning
for a long time. But it seemed the weapon again
we believe, had a silencer on it, and it appears
to have jammed a couple of times, and he coolly
was able to get it operational.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So, yeah, it was chilling to watch. I Rory's going
to be back next hour. We've got lots to talk about.
Airline CEOs went before Congress to defend the chunk seating
fees and generate billions of dollars in revenue. I'm chuckling
because and who knows what the citizen reaction to this
could be. They might want to be careful. Some people
(22:34):
seem to be taking the law into their own hands.
All right, Ory, we'll talk about that next hour. Also,
I have my Globe trotter story and Davids and I
he's going to join us to discuss what about Christmas
in nineteen seventy three can teach us to help understand
Christmas in twenty twenty four? Stick around for that all
straight ahead. And John Deckers can report on President elect
Trump considering his replacements for Defense Secretary. We'll do that
(22:56):
coming up in minutes from now. If you're just waking up,
it is forty three minutes after the things you need
to know this is I have a spinning ball right now,
So I'm afraid to move on because I don't Yeah,
it's gonna do that spot. How I'm gonna wait for this, Okay,
(23:17):
not long if you're just waking up. President elect Trump
is asking to have his Georgia criminal election interference case
thrown out now. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Trump's two federal cases have already been tossed, and he's
attempting to do the same with his hush money case
in New York. The president elect is accused of attempting
to overturn the twenty twenty election results in Georgia. In
a court filing, lawyer Steve Sadau said the case should
be thrown out before Trump is inaugurated in January.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I'm Brian Shook. You know it wasn't until I was
stacking this newscast this morning did a dawn on me.
Do you realize that President Donald Trump? I know he's
done some Sean Hannity and I can't think of a
time in history. Trump has not done a network interview
since election Day and that unheard of historically. And he's
(24:06):
finally going to do it, and it's going to be Sunday,
and it's going to be NBC's Meet the Press. Mark
Mayfield has more.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
The Networks has the interview with the show moderator Kristen
Welker will be taped to Friday than air Sunday morning.
Clips of the interview will be released prior to the show.
Welker interviewed Trump for NBC News in September of twenty
twenty three, which ended up being his only network sit
down during the twenty twenty four presidential campaign.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Meanwhile, the former presidents and battled pick
for Defense secretaries on Capitol Hill once again. Lisa Taylor
has that story.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Pete Hegseth is attending meetings with senators who would decide
whether or not to confirm him.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
Your job is to make sure that it's lethality, lethality, lethality,
everything else is gone. Everything else that distracts from that
shouldn't be happening. That's the message I'm hearing from senators
in that advising content process.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's been a wonderful process.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
Despite a report that he could be replaced by Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis, Hegsas says he's not withdrawing his name
from consideration. Egg Seth has embroiled in multiple misconduct allegations.
The Washington Post reports heg Seth will visit Trump at
is Mari Lago Estate in Florida. Thursday, Iley's a Taylor.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Seniors in America are paying more for healthcare than seniors
in other wealthy countries. Sara Lee Kessler has that story.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
A Commonwealth Fund survey shows about twenty five percent of
American seniors spent at least two thousand dollars out.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Of pocket on healthcare last year.
Speaker 12 (25:25):
Researchers say under five percent of seniors in France and
the Netherlands spend that much. The study also shows those
in Australia, Germany, and Sweden and several other countries spent
less on healthcare than seniors in America. I'm Sarah Lee
Kessen five.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh so sick for I could scream. Taylor Swift is
Spotify's most streamed artist of the year globally for the
second year in a row. The rest of the top
five includes The Weekend, Bad Bunny, Never Heard Of Drake,
Billie Eilish. Women dominated the top five streaming albums around
the world, with Swift's The Tortured Poet's Department The Anthology
(26:04):
topping the list.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Delton.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I didn't know we were on an erie Pennsylvania did you.
I'm surprised daily at the places. Okay, yeah, listening on
w j E T and Erie, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 13 (26:22):
Danny, this is Dan calling from snow buried, Erie, Pennsylvania,
getting through my morning waiting for more snow. Your morning
show is my morning stalls with your host Michael Joe.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Another's messing with me? All right? Could somebody just it's
whatever you say prior to that, Let's see what I'm
Danny buried in snow in Erie, Pennsylvania. And then just
go to and my morning show is your morning show
with Michael. Everybody's get it. I wonder if Decker would
get it right today. Decker would get John. Everybody is
(26:59):
to tea one up for you, which I don't hesitate
because you're brilliant and I don't have to talk to
you beforehand. But we did this whole story on the
political story Biden White House discussing preemptive pardons for those
in the Trump crosshairs, and we're like, well, how do
you do a preemptive pardon? How do you pardon somebody
hasn't been accused or tried or convicted or sentenced, and
(27:19):
these are preemptive pardons ahead of time? How would that
stand up in court, Well.
Speaker 14 (27:26):
It would be language similar to the language that Gerald
Ford had for his preemptive pardon of Richard Nixon, covering
all actions of an individual that may be criminal content
during the course of their time in office, if we're
talking about a politician, or just during a course of
(27:48):
a period of time, if we're talking about a private
citizen like Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
All right, So, but I always thought like in the
case of like Daniel Penny, for example, that one you
would have a party that's a state case, right, So
it has to be a federal case to be to
be pardoned, doesn't it.
Speaker 14 (28:05):
Yeah, we're talking about federal crimes or potential crimes that
you can't you know, if you're a president. The pardon
power doesn't apply to state crimes or state charges.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Who do we think they're thinking about on this?
Speaker 14 (28:23):
I think that I think that there are a number
of individuals that would fall under this category, including Liz Cheney,
including you know that that's someone who is a public
figure served in Congress, and also including Jim Biden, who
was involved in several business deals with Hunter Biden over
the course of the past decades. So those are two
(28:46):
individuals that could perhaps be given one of these.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So called preemptive party or maybe Anthony Fauci, right, that'd
be another one that could be big on the list.
Speaker 14 (28:55):
That'd be another one.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Absolutely, What about Joe himself? Could that be on the list?
Speaker 14 (29:01):
Hard to say, it's never been tested before. I find that,
you know, nothing surprises me these days. But I don't
think that that's at the top of the list.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
But you never know. Visiting with White House correspondent John Decker,
who has to be a Supreme Court bar attorney, and
the other thing we wanted to kick around with you,
is this this whole notion that's being kicked around that
Donald Trump kind of changed things up in the press room.
In other words, why do we still have all these
network people when you know, maybe it should be Joe Rogan,
(29:32):
maybe it should be Tucker Carlson or a podcaster or
this or that. How might that be received by the
people in your And I'm not saying you're a part
of a click, but you guys are a close knit
group in the White House press pool. I mean, I
can just imagine how CBSNBC, ABC, Fox, the Associated Press
is going to react to, you know, podcasters being in there,
(29:52):
but I think that's where the audience is and they
should be represented maybe well.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
Historically, the way that the seats are assigned in the
press briefing room at the White House is done by
the group that represents the White House Press Court. It's
called the White House Correspondence Association. I used to be
on that board, and that board determines the seating assignments
and changes up the seating assignments every few years. I
(30:19):
think about two years ago is when they looked at
the seating assignments most recently, if this incoming White House
wanted to say, you know what, although WHCA you've handled
this process for the past, you know, half a century,
we're going to change the process. We're going to decide
who is going to occupy that seats. That is solely
(30:42):
up to the White House. And if the White House
wants to go through that, you know they certainly can
do that. To me, it's an unnecessary fight. And you know,
even though someone may not have a seat in the
briefing room, if someone is president in the brief room,
that press secretary can call on that person. That's something
that Caroline Lever could certainly do when she assumes the
(31:04):
role of White House Best Secretary in the new year.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
