Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, or Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and
News Talk five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Enjoy the podcast two three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stold. This is your morning show
with Michael Gill charms all the drums, OU like, what
is that in my ear? And I look down and
you're just swaying back and forth as the beat. Baby,
that's the beat. Seven minutes after the hour, Thanks for

(00:50):
waking up with your morning show on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. I don't know where he's
calling from, although I suspect it's a Panera with free
Wi Fi. Let's get our talk back in. We're going
to go all the way back to the sixties and
Coofax and Drysdale I think.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, nineteen sixty six, Cofax and Drysdale held out for
one hundred thousand dollars each.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, and they did sign a few weeks later.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
One hundred thousand dollars was big money in nineteen sixty six.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Wow, what Soto did was beyond belief. I think he's
eating an everything bagel with cream cheese, schmer could you
just sense them it a cracker. It sounds like he
had a better breakfast than me. Yeah, Wan Soto is
now a New York met Fifteen years, seven hundred and
sixty five million dollars later. That was roughly fifty one

(01:43):
plus million dollars a year. College football is ready to
enter the postseason after the first ever twelve team CFP
bracket was revealed and President Biden praising the regime change
in Syria, but not so fast because we don't know
changed to what one radical is a dictator? Gone is
a new one on the rise. And boy, Donald Trump

(02:04):
just found the perfect tone throughout the Meet the Press
interview and covered a wide range. He was featured in
our Sounds of the Day in the second hour. All
the sounds from that interview, but just issue after issue,
question after question, just nailed it and nailed it in
the right tone. He more or less mastered the diffusing

(02:24):
of all the liberal fear mongering narratives. He didn't look
like a tyrant, he didn't sound like a tyrant. He
has no intentions of using as military against the people.
In fact, for those who voted for Kamala Harris, he
loves them and he intends to reward them with success.
That's his way of getting revenge. They also talked a

(02:48):
little bit about the inaugural dress and he just kind
of teased, it's going to be a great message of
hope and unity. How important our inaugural a dresses and
themes of unity. Republican consultant in Your Morning Shown tributor
Chris Walker is joining us. I think for Donald Trump,
he may have already begun to set the tone with
Doge and with this interview with Meet the Press, but

(03:09):
nothing sets a tone like an inaugural address, especially normally
we don't look at second term inaugural addresses. But like
everything else, Donald Trump gets two first this time, right, Chris,
it's right, Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
It's a it's a it's a setting the table moment.
You know, it's it's not just you know, it's not
just an address, but it's a it's a reintroduction to
a lot of people who you know, he may be
able to change the minds. He already changed the minds
in the election, and I think there's going to be
more opportunity to do it. You have seen you know,
the left not necessarily scream and into the into the void.

(03:43):
There's a there's a normalcy to this now. That wasn't
the case in twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen. So you know,
I think that's it's a great opportunity. But I agree
with you that that the points that he made with
with Chris Walker, irrespective of her tone, I think we're
right on the money.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Although I would I would pauch at a level.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Of not playing the come to the other side of.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
The aisle game.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
I mean, he has a mandate, he has a there's
a reason why he won, and it wasn't adopting Democrat
policies and Democrat talking points in terms of the overall
discussion in America, right, I mean, this is a situation
where you know, we have a there was a huge
failure in Joe Biden and the Democrats are going to
scream for him to come, you know, to the middle

(04:29):
and you know, adopt some of their policies. And we've
seen these policies be enacted at at warp speed and
the failure that it arises. So you know, I would
caution that, but we're seeing that with us with who
he's who he's picking.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
That that that's I guess you're right to say out loud,
i'd caution that. I think there's zero chance of that happening. Uh,
you know it was. That was what was brilliant about
the Welker Meet the Press interview. He didn't budge on
anything from the border to deportation, to enter to cutting
waste to peace through strength, but he did it with

(05:07):
a tone you brought up, you know, a mandate according
to a majority of the voters, winning both the popular
vote and the electoral College handily makes this a mandate
for his policies. Fifty five percent of likely US voters
believe the election is a mandate for Trump to enact
policies that he campaigned on. Thirty two percent disagree. Obviously,

(05:29):
thirty two percent is less than the amount that voted
for Kamala Harris, So it's them meeting Donald Trump in
the middle thirteen percent or not. Sure, there's no question
there is a mandate for him to enact these policies
have changed, and there's no question he intends to do it.
But finding the right tone in doing it and the
right people to surround himself with and a forged in

(05:53):
being singled out and attacked even an assassination attempt, makes
this so much different Donald Trump the second time around.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Well, and I'm gonna argue too. I mean, this is
this is, this is.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Most inaugural addresses are forgotten, you know, and I and
second in particular, like you mentioned in the in the preface,
I mean Bush's the second term innaugural was known for
just how how ob tooth it was in terms of
like the international you know, kind of bringing freedom to
the world type type message that he brought in two
thousand and five. But you know, ultimately this.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
Is this is a new situation where this is.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
A transformational presidency that we're about to you know, potentially
the take and necessary. I mean, we have sixty years
of true out of control government growth, out of control
regulatory capture, and the change that's going to be able
to be happening here is really remarkable, and I think
see think that moment is going to be critical. I
agree with you on the tone, but I also think

(06:49):
that there's an opportunity to kind of persuade hearts and
minds on the idea that, like what we've been doing
for sixty years has produced a lot of failure.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
You may not see it in the day to day.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
You know, advancement of humanity, but we could be doing
so much better if we got the regulatory and you
know kind of federal you know, oversight machine out of
the way and letting innovation flourish.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Chris Walker joining US Republican consultant. Youre a morning show contributor.
Donald Trump with a very very just flawless interview on
Meet the Press, preparing for his inaugural dress, a message
he says will be one of unity. How difficult is
unity in this divided country?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Goodness, one question.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Very difficult. You know. Look, I mean we're going.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
To have a Democrat party that you know is going
to try to do everything they can to stop what
we think is the right thing to do.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
And you know, it's okay to listen.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
To them and hear their point of view on it
as well, but ultimately they're going to be very against it.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
We saw Jamie Harrison trying.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
To kind of say we need to get rid of
the woke elements of the party, and he they had
a whole you know, started the Democrat Cagasus Seek where
they you know, recognized stolen like that. So it's like, okay,
were still playing the identity politics game over there. I mean,
they are completely bought into their agenda, They're completely bought
into their ideology, and I think it's going to take
a long time to bring people here. But when you

(08:10):
see members like Rocanna, who's out there saying, I want
to work with Elon must On Dose, there's a lot
of things we can do. You know, the wins are
moving in a very good direction and thank goodness for that.
So and the rest they're will be a challenge. But
I also think there's an open minded people.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
On that side as well. At the risk of answering
my own question, let me ask you, is there a
strategy opportunity. I go back to George W. Bush never
talked to Saddam Hussein. He always talked to the people
of a rock. Is there an opportunity for Donald Trump

(08:47):
to not play the game of Democrat radical party leaders
or even a legacy media that is dead, but talk
directly to Democrat voters about the things he's doing, the
things we've been doing that didn't work, the things he's doing,
and how they will work. Maybe that's the strategy for
achieving that unity message. Now the key is, of course,

(09:09):
you've got to say it, and then you've got to
do it. Joe Biden said it in his inaugural address
and went across the street and did forty nine executive
orders to reverse everything, so and then get the results.
I think Donald Trump, this is the one takeaway I
got from the Meet the Press interview with Welker. He
knows what got him elected, he knows what the American

(09:31):
people are wanting, and he knows laser focused what he
must do to get revenge, and that is create a
safe and prosperous nation. That's the ultimate goal.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yeah, I mean, I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Let's not forget for the first.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Four years of his first term he was still having.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
To remake the Republican Party in a lot of ways,
and I mean a lot of the Bush Republicans who
wouldn't come along Democrats. I mean, look at Bill Crystal
and those you know, the morners of the Bulwark and
other things. I mean, there's there's a lot of faults
that you know, are are are so dogmatic that they
decided to become Democrats.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Liz Cheney other is fine.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
So I mean, you know, you almost had to have
a take too. Whereas Okay, now he gets to talk
to Democrats because he had to kind of reshape the
Republican Party a lot of ways and reject some of
the you know, the where it tear on foreign policy,
misaventurism and other things. I mean, look, I was skeptical
at first, and it takes it takes time to kind
of swape swaye people around. So you know, this is

(10:32):
a this is a situation where now I think he
does get to talk to Democrats in a way because
the Republican Party is fully his party is fully behind him.
Instead of having to fight half of his own team,
now he can kind of have a unified team and
go forward and kind of evangelize to others. I think
it's an exciting moment for him.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I guess, with the exception of Reagan because of age.
But just think about in terms of legacy and presidencies.
If Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush Barack Obama
are two term presidents of our lifetime, if they'd have
had a four year recess in the middle the way
Donald Trump is, how different might America be in their

(11:11):
second term having had that four years off of perspective
learning and then coming back. In other words, I think
Donald Trump is going to be one of the most
unique presidents in American presidency's in American history because of
the four years off, because of everything he went through.
And I think we're already.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Seeing it absolutely.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
I mean, look at let mean again, look at christ
Walker talking about how Trump's going to use the Gjays, Like,
have you been paying attention to Joe Biden is betweening
for the last three years.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
I mean it changes someone.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
You know, people are literally taking shots at him. I
mean that this is not a this isn't a game.
And so yeah, I think he's focused. I think every
single cabinet pick, and you know, boring Matt's Gates has
been you know, a very solid pick that's like a
change agent and of really positive direction. And I think
he's bucking the political system of Washington, which is exactly

(12:06):
what needs to be done. So from top to bottom,
this is a focused person who kind of you know,
probably listened to some folks who didn't have his best
intentions the first term that are gone this time and
allowing for you know, true kind of reshaping in the
direction that I think is very positive for the country.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
It was a long interview. He kept his tone throughout.
It was a long interview. The answers are flawless throughout.
But the one takeaway I had was when he didn't
take the bait of bashing those who have been attacking
him or talking about what's going to happen to those
who attacked him, but by point blank saying, my ultimate

(12:46):
revenge is making America great again, making the people of
America safe, and making the people of America prosperous. If
he does that, he's going to go down as one
of the greatest presidents ever in this second term.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Absolutely, and just look at I don't know if you
watched the Notre Dame, uh, you know, kind of reopening
at the at the over the weekend. But it's not
just in America. Look at all of the foreign leaders
across the country, across the world who are just staring
at him in awe.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
That she walked in, I mean bien and a connection there.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Including Jill Biden, including Jill Bike there was those were
strange stairs. Those were I think she wants voted for him.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
She definitely voted for him.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Chris Walker joins us every Monday with the Republican Perspective
or sooner if conditions were and otherwise, We'll see you
next Monday. Thanks for joining us, Chris, Thank you.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Michael.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Having a good week.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's your morning show with Michael Del Johno.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I am Michael del Jorna. Jeffreys got the round mound
of sound controls. Read our producers here, you know. Red
brought up something off the air just to show in
response to what Chris was saying, President that need to
go to the left to achieve unity. He just needs
to welcome the center and left to reality. And a

(14:08):
good moment in that was when she said, are you
willing now to admit that you lost in twenty twenty?
The President said absolutely not. Why would I And you
know there was you know I always say in the
sea of narratives and lies, there are memes every year.
If I really wanted to make a contribution, I wouldn't
publish a book of my thoughts from the year. It

(14:29):
would be the top three hundred and sixty five memes
of the year, because that's the truth in the midst
of the lies of what was happening. I'll give you
an example. Here's a meme that says some things are
better in black and white. Going back to two thousand
and four, John Kerrey had fifty nine million votes. That's
a weak candidate at a time against a strong presidency

(14:53):
coming off of a victory in war after nine to eleven,
fifty nine million, explainable, below the average, but explainable. Two
thousand and eight, you go to the highs of Barack
Obama against a weak John McCain, and you get just
under seventy million for the Great Obama, Sayah, the Messenger

(15:18):
of all Hope, sixty nine and a half million. Then
he comes back for a second term in twenty twelve,
and of course Open Change turns out to be Nichols
and Dimes change, so it dipped a little, but he's
still Barack Obama sixty five point nine million. Then you
have Bill Clinton sixty five point nine million, you have
Kamala Harris sixty six point four million. And sitting in

(15:40):
the midst of those numbers, Carrie to Obamas of Clinton
Harris is Joe Biden, an old man who came in
fourth in Iowa, sixth in New Hampshire. They cut a
deal in South Carolina, hit him in a basement and
he appeared senile even as a candidate, And he gets
eighty one million, twelve million more than Barack Obama at

(16:06):
his all time high. Does anybody believe those numbers? By
the way, an AI game ball And I finally got
it from from Jeffrey. Why didn't you share this with
me over the weekend? I get it this morning. So
the big story is President elect Donald Trump is in France,
front and center next to the First Lady of France,

(16:31):
separated by one person. Is the current first Lady Joe Biden.
You think awkward Joe Biden next to him, But no,
I mean at admiring, looks interested, looks like a love
affairs brewing. But this particular AI is them getting in
a fistfight and Donald Trump giving her a left hook

(16:52):
right across the job. That looks so realistic. I'm loving AI.
I'm executive George Harvale. My morning show is your Morning
Show with Michael de Jorna. Hi, it's me Michael. Your

(17:13):
morning show can be heard on great stations across the
country like Talk Radio eleven ninety in Dallas, Sport Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, DC and
five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or take us
along on the drive to work, but as we always say,
better late than never. Enjoy the podcast, all right, if
you're just waking up thirty seven minutes after the hour,

(17:33):
he got twenty three minutes or so to get to
work on time in the Central time zone. Thanks for
waking up with your morning show. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's there,
Red's there, and joining us now on the liveline is
our White House correspondent John Decker Donald Trump. He talked
about everything from deportation to tariffs and everything in between
a very wide ranging interview on Sunday with Meet the
Press and Kristin Welker. I thought he hit a perfect

(17:56):
tone throughout. But let's see what the guy who's gonna
have to cover him for four years thought, John, good morning,
I agree with you.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
I agree with you one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
Just to lay out what his agenda is going to
be his first day, his first one hundred days, what
he'd liked to get done in his first term is
not his first term, his last term, actually, but in
any case, spoke about how his top issue is border security,
how he would like to end birthright citizenship, and saying
how citizens with family here illegally may be deported, and

(18:26):
then Diasso spoke about how he will most likely those
are his words, most likely, pardon the capital rioters.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
On day one, he said that he will.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
Not fire the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, and he
also it relates to his nominees, Michael He said that
he does believe that Pete Hegseat, his nominee for Defense.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Secretary, can be confirmed. Time will tell on that one.
I think what struck me out of everything, and there
were a lot of great moments, is that Ronald Trump
knows what got him elected. He talked about the border,
and he talked about groceries, and that's a definite priority.

(19:09):
And I think the president gets that you got to
address deficit and debt in order to address inflation and
cost of living, along with regulations, along with energy. That's
how things get delivered. He seems very laser focused on point.
But the big takeaway I had was he didn't take
the bait that it's about retribution. It's about getting all
those He said the people that what this presidency did

(19:32):
to him was despicable. I mean, he addressed all of that,
but he seems to get that the best way to
get revenge is to make America great and show the
American people the road to prosperity and security. If he
lives that, that'll be very wise.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
Oh, I agree with you one hundred percent. We'll see,
you know, if his actions match.

Speaker 6 (19:53):
The words that he spoke yesterday and that hour long
interview on Meet the Press.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Spoke about how success is.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
The best retribution.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
He's right about that.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
I think that's a great attitude to have in life
as well.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
For anybody, regardless of whether you're going to be the
next president of the United States.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
In any case.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
You know, he also spoke about foreign affairs, spoke about
how he has already spoken.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
To President Hiji, King of China, and talked.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
About trying to end the war that Russia started with Ukraine.
All of those things, though, are going to be part
of a very busy one hundred first days for Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
All right, John Decker joining US White House correspondent John.
First of all, everything about this is different, right, not
never before, but only once before. This guy gets two
first terms, he gets two first one under days, and
he really in essence gets two first inaugural addresses. That
makes it very unique. He seems forged and changed by
the four years off. You know, at some point, I

(20:53):
don't know if this is going to be a Donald
Trump legacy or a lesson for America. When you give
somebody four years of a president, see, then take him
away for four years, let him get you know, their perspective,
learn from what they did, learn the process. I mean,
he's surrounded himself completely with different people. His voice has
a different tone. He's laser focused. It's not about divisions

(21:15):
and cheap shots. It's all about getting busy and getting
things done. And I would say it this way, and
you can disagree, but it's almost as if, like I've
never seen before, Joe Biden's already gone kills in France
with Trump. He's already talking to foreign leaders and apparently
running the country and he hasn't even taken I mean,

(21:36):
everything about this is just so different feeling, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
I agree with you. Yeah, that's right, you know, and
you rarely.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
See this, you know, it seems as if Joe Biden,
the current president, has seeded the stage to Donald Trump.
He's already I mean, we knew he was, you know,
a lame du president, but it's even more apparent when
the president elect essentially representing the United States for the
reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Paris, not the current president.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
And by the way, Joe Biden was invited to actually
attend that event and decline. So yeah, he's essentially essentially
making the paving the way for Donald Trump to be
the thirty forty seventh president of the United States.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
I know you got to go, but we were joking earlier.
I mean that picture. You would think Joe Biden separated
by one person next to Donald Trump would be awkward,
or she'd be giving frosty stars or filthy looks. And
the pictures that were captured, she looks, she looks like
she's looking at him longingly. I mean, there's some people
that have I've had somebody actually say, the more I

(22:42):
look at that, I believe she voted for Donald Trump
and not Jill Biden and not Kamala Harris.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
It is.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's all very very strange, but it all adds up
to we got a real opportunity coming up in January
for the country to unite like never before and achieve
some things like never before. Now let's just pray it
all happens.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
We'll see, you know, it's hard to believe, think about it, Michael,
January twentieth, You know it'll be here before you know it,
a little over a month away. And then Donald Trump's
going to hit the ground running. Obviously, he needs to get.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
His nominees confirmed.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Some will have more a difficult time than others, including
Pete Hegsetts. But this is a really a great opportunity
for Donald Trump, as you put it, to try to
unite the country about some of the goals that he
has in his last term as president and his first
one hundred days as president.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
And we know the message is going to be unity
in the inaugural address, but that was Joe Biden's as well.
The trick is actually doing it great reporting is always
joh that's right. We'll talk again tomorrow, fright forty three
minutes after the hour. Time for your not one, not two,
not three, but top five stories of the day. If
you're just waking up, President Biden is praising the regime
change in Syria. Don't get ahead of yourself. It's just

(23:56):
another radical group of Islamis. But Lisa Carton reports on
the president's reaction.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Speaking from the White House Sunday, Biden called the collapse
of Assad's government a moment of historic opportunity for the
long suffering people of Syria.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
This regime brutalized, in tortured and killed three hundreds.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Of thousands of inn series a fall. There is is
a fundamental lack of justice.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
Biden also warned there's a moment of risk and uncertainty
over what comes next. The president outline continued US involvement
in Syria to help establish a transition away from the
Assaud regime toward an independent nation that serves all Syrians.
Biden's remarks came after a coalition of rebels captured the
Syrian capital of Damascus, prompting Assad to resign.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I'm Lisa Carton. President, like Trump, laid out the ground
rules for deportation. He doesn't want to separate children from
their parents. That's why he plans to deport them both.
Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
In an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, Trump said
he doesn't want to break up families, and so children
may have to leave alongside their undocumented parents once he
takes office.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well, what you going to do if they want to
stay with the father. We have to have rules and regulations.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
You could always find something out, like you know, this
doesn't work, that doesn't work. Trump also re affirmed his
commitment to ending birthright citizenship. He also appeared to say
his administration's deportation efforts would go well beyond undocumented immigrants
convicted of crimes and target most others as well. Despite
these comments, Trump insisted he wants to keep immigrants who
are so called dreamers, those brought to the US as

(25:25):
children and who are enrolled in the DACA program.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
By Mark Mayfield, Trump also said he has no plans
to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. D Tammy Trejhilo
has that story.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
Howell's term runs until May of twenty twenty six. Speaking
with NBC News in an interview that aired on Meet
the Press, Trump said Powell would probably leave if he
told him to, but he isn't planning to do that
right now. Trump first appointed Powell in twenty eighteen, but
soon thought about removing him over a dispute about interest rates.
President Biden reappointed Powell in twenty twenty two. Powell has

(25:56):
said he won't leave the job early and doesn't believe
Trump has the legal authority to fire him. I'm Tammy Triho.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltono. We were
cut off there on accident. But the nineteen forty two
musical Holiday Inn, that's where White Christmas originally aired and
won Best Original Song at the fifteenth Academy Award. Of
course it came back in White Christmas. The movie Fred

(26:25):
Astaire did not come back from Holiday Inn. They replaced
him with was Danny kay right? And did that movie?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Interesting? I did not know until Jeffrey brought up that
Holiday Inn got its name from the movie Holiday Inn.
Did you know the first Holiday Inn was Memphis, Tennessee
in nineteen fifty six?

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
And did you know that Mickey mannl former New York
Yankee who never made wan So Do Money owned a
Holiday Inn in Joplin, Missouri. I did not know. That
is wild West Wow wacky stuff. In sports, the Big
Ten Championship went to Oregon forty five to thirty seven,
but Penn State played them tough. SEC Championship went to Georgia,
but Texas only lost by three. The ACC Championship went

(27:11):
to Clemson, but oh SMU came fighting back to only
lose by three, and it obviously impressed some people. So
the four that get a bye in this new twelve
playoff system is Oregon, Arizona State, Georgia, and a little
bit shockingly, Boise State. The rest have to play in
the opening round Indiana Notre Dame. Great matchup SMU Penn State,

(27:33):
the two that played well but came up short in
conference championship games. They'll meet each other in Happy Valley. Clemson.
Texas is the most one sided of them. I think
Texas will handle that one overwhelmingly. Tennessee gets the toughest draw.
They draw the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Horseshoe, even
though it's not a horseshoe anymore. As our first ever

(27:53):
playoff of twelve will get started, I think it's December
twentieth with one game and then three games on the
two charges fell a little bit short. Only the Kansas
City Chiefs can joink one and it goes in nineteen seventeen.
Are we ever going to be rid of the Chiefs?
I'm so sick of them? And Birthday's Donnie Osman is
sixty seven, Madame Judy Dench is ninety and pays some man.

(28:17):
He's money. He won fan squam. That man is money.
He got alligator blood in his veins. Check check check.
John malcovic is seventy one years old, and Rory O'Neill
is far from seventy years old. Our national correspondent joins
us with the latest on the manhunt for the man
who has wanted a connection with the murder of the
CEO of United Healthcare. Good morning, Rory, what's the latest, Yeah, Michael.

Speaker 9 (28:41):
They have released some more photos which show this shooter
in the hour after the gunfire. It looks like even
though he arrived in New York November twenty fourth, days
before the killing, he was likely out of Manhattan within
an hour of the shooting that happened last Wednesday morning.
Where he's gone, Boy, that's just open to wild speculation,

(29:05):
but they aren't getting a better timeline of his time
in New York.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
All right, so let me see if I got this
straight shoots. The man crosses the street, gets a rental bike,
dumps his backpack, then takes a taxi cab, then gets
on a bus and gets out of town. That's pretty
much the timelight. Don't we have any idea where the bus.

Speaker 9 (29:29):
Was headed, Well, we don't know what buzzy chunk, so
it was the bus station there, then yeah, and then
it's they did find the backpack filled with monopoly money,
which is just odd, uh. They and they found the
backpack near a pond in Central Park, So they were
searching the pond over the weekend, hoping that maybe he
threw the gun in that pond. They think, now it's

(29:51):
some sort of a veterinary pistol that that was used
as the weapon here. Yet the gun is it doesn't
so it wasn't a gun with a silencer. They don't
think it was this veterinary pistol that's designed specifically not
to have a loud bang so that when the vet
has to put down an animal doesn't spook the rest
of them or warn them about what's coming.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
That's interesting, all right. So we have the veterinary pistol,
not a silencer. We have the three word messages on
the shell casings, we have the renting of a bike
through Central Park, dumping of the backpack, taking a cab
by the way, close up pictures of him in the cab.
I mean, right, you can't mistake identifying him. I mean

(30:30):
we got his face flirting at the hostel as well
as in the back of the cab, but no idea
where he went. This is a strange one.

Speaker 9 (30:39):
Right, And then they have not said if they have
a name in this case. May Or Eric Adams was
asked yesterday. He said, the net is closing in on
the guy, but again they have not announced that they
have a name. I suspect that they do, but I
think if they say it, then the guy is going
to really try to go underground. So you know, again
everything is trying to be moder that there's done a

(31:01):
better job.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
You boy, he said roughly from the beginning that you
thought they know who he is, they just can't find him. Yeah,
pretty much.

Speaker 9 (31:06):
I think that's the zone we're in right now, to
see if you know it does he's paying a cell
phone somewhere else? Does he use a debit card, credit
card somewhere now along the way that would really be
a giveaway, is the question.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I guess. Saray at Live made some news this weekend
in the Weekend Update. It's been a strange reaction from
the beginning, as if America, even on social media, has
justified this man being killed because of what our premiums
are and because of how these companies are taking great profits.
And of course Sarah and now I want with that
and his appearance and boyded a backfire.

Speaker 9 (31:39):
Yeah, and well, social media has been full of this
that you know, it's karma or he doesn't deserve sympathy,
or the family doesn't mean. There's been some ugly stuff
posted online pretty fast. Turned also to the jokes that
are being put online the lookalike contest for the suspect.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, this has been a bizarre response to this murder
as well. Yeah, Rory, great reporting today. As always, we'll
talk again tomorrow. It's kind of like, I mean, who
hasn't seen videos of demise that finds people, or fights
that break out, or violence in the midst of it happening.

(32:15):
Ten people kicking a guy in the head, and what
are the people standing around doing, taking pictures, taking videos.
It's just it's bizarre responses. Life is sacred, If God
is sacred, his creation in his image is sacred. And
someone's life being captured taken on films so clearly, and

(32:37):
the American response is to, I don't know, treat it
like it's a clip from a movie. Is just bizarre
that there's any kind of justification for such a heinous
crime against anyone. With this individual's family all seeing this,

(32:57):
and it's as though you want to shake America and say,
have you lost track of reality? Do you not know
the difference between a movie and a reality, a video
clip on social media and a real human being's life
being taken? And I am with Rory full circle. I

(33:19):
think they know exactly who this guy is. I just
think they're having a hard time finding him. And there's
some parts of it that looks so professional and some
parts that look so reckless. I don't even know how
to describe this hit in general and motive. I guess
we'll get to that when we get to him. We're
all in this together.
