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 and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast two.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Please strive for a fun show every morning, but today
we're exceeding ourselves.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
In fact, this show is going so well.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I'm going to go ahead and give Red and Jeffrey
salary back to iHeart.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't think we can accept it.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
For the strange thing, it's always our sound. I have
certain pressures here at home. Welcome to your morning show.
I am Michael del Jarno. The show belongs to you.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Jeffrey's got the controls, reds here.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
And you're in your right shiny places as well. I
used to always say, behind every headline is a story,
and behind every story there's so much to talk about.
Because at the end of the day, what we're really
talking about is the details and the overwriting issues. In
other words, everything we're about to talk about is not COVID,
is not January sixth, is not election integrity, is not

(01:17):
media bias or death of journalism.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's really trust.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
In my lifetime, that's the greatest thing I've witnessed, a
breach of trust between we the people, and those who
supposedly serve us but are really serving themselves. And so yes,
it's a story of narratives and agenda over reality. It's
lying that leads to breach and trust. But where does
that leave us? So even after COVID, you're like, well,

(01:43):
how can I ever trust the World Health Organization the same?
How can I ever trust the CDC the same? Heck,
how can you trust your primary physician the same? Now
that everything that was once a conspiracy theory is truth,
and everything that was truth is a proven lie, we
can say the same thing about January sixth, after the

(02:03):
Office of Inspector General comes out with this report and
it confirms everything.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
In real time, I was feeling this was a trap.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
That was set.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
That's why Nancy Pelosi knew weeks ahead of time what
was coming January sixth, because the FBI had all these
informants that have infiltrated these groups.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
But why did she choose to do nothing to protect
the Capitol?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
And it was her call because the sergeant in arms
reports to the speaker, and you could tell by her
actions that Trump's loose lips that day because he said
a lot of dumb things. He just didn't create an insurrection.
He played right into it, and it played right into
their narrative and ready to their agenda to destroy him.
But oh how it didn't and know how he won anyway,

(02:50):
by the grace of God. But at the end of
the day, it's really about trust, and trust in our
government has never been lower, and it's caused a great
deal of mistrust among ourselves as some have been duped

(03:10):
and some have been not. David'sna He's with the American
Policy Roundtable and host of the Public Square. We always
take these journeys of discovery together, David. Behind every one
of these headlines, it comes back to this breach of trust.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
I've got a question for you, though I think that
Jeffrey and redsha Away on this do I do you
are you tempted to led to listen to me more
carefully if I place my hand under my chin, I am.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Okay, Yeah, this is what I learned in the last election,
particularly in the debates.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Although didn't Trump get the fire.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
By the way, can I just chime in the Person
of the Year photo of Donald Trump, best picture of
him ever, best cover of time maybe ever.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, he didn't have his hand under his chin though,
but he was kind of that was just the I
think that's.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
The one thing I remember from the debates more than
anything else, was.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
The hand to hand on Okay, So let's talk about
how this manifests itself out in culture.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
The point that you're talking about trust.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
We've got a story that recently is it will be
around for quite some time on January sixth, and so
it's got to be reported and the role of Christopher
Ray and the Department of Justice and the FBI. So
you take a look at the Washington Post and it
tells us headline, FBI did not have undercover agents at

(04:28):
January sixth, Riots Watchdog says, And there they go. So
this is the headline, Inspector General Horowitz blah blah blah blah. Okay,
that's Washington Post. FBI did not have undercover agents. Now,
let's go to Fox Headline. Dojig reveals twenty six FBI
informosts were present on January sixth.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Okay, so the definition of is is using a Bill
Clinton reference that the defense is going to be.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh, we didn't lie to Congress, although in my Sounds
a Day I played a clip one member of Congress
asked Ray point blank, to you have undercover agents?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
And he said no.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Then they asked him if he had informants and he said,
I can't answer. Why isn't it a yes or no?
So either way they lied under oath. Either way you
got media bias and death of journalism norder. We don't
trust them anymore. That's why we're watching the Food Channel.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
More all of that. But I mean, this is blatant lie.
This is a bomb show. This is why Ray had
to leave.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
And then you go farther into the story and into
the reporting of this, and this is we're talking now
about history. This is going to be around a long time.
And the Washington Post and the New York Times and
others are still contending that five people died as a
result of the violence on Genuary.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Nobody died that day and there are no forensic connections
to the actions of that day that led to their death.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Right, Well, there is one person that died, an Air
Force veteran, the Air Force.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Veteran who was shot, who's unarmed, shot in the neck
and was and the officer was never prosecuted for abuse
in any way. So you tell me or was never
convicted of anything. All right, So you tell me you
have two different reality they different realities.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
That and that that's frightening.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
We've been talking about the matrix for what three years now?

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Well, if you and I have been talking about since
about two thousand and eight, I mean we're not We're
no longer in a world in which people are willing
to accept the universal reality and the common exchange of language.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
As we're about to enter, as we're about to enter
the age of AI that is going to invite you
to give up on reality and just live official.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
I'm glad you brought up AI because if they don't
get out of their own way, AI is never going
to get out of the gate. I mean, I don't
know if you spend any time on YouTube, but I'll
do different research projects and I'll jump onto YouTube to
see some documentary type footage on something. I'm looking at
the stuff that's coming up on AI. I mean it's pathetic.
I mean it's that kindergarten stuff.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
It's horrible.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
So I don't I don't know where these people think
they're going to come up with some I don't know.
I've got a rough time with that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
David's Natti, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, host of
The PO Square. We're kind of talking about trust, but
we're really talking about all the big stories and at
the end of the day, after COVID, where do you
stand trusting the World Health Organization? Where do you stand
trusting the CDC? Where do you stand trusting your primary physician?
After January sixth? Can you really trust a partisan Speaker

(07:17):
of the House? Can you trust the FBI itself? They'll
lie to members of Congress, let alone with the American people.
The media lost its trust a long time ago because
of the way it reports these things as fact and
facts as lie and gaslight You how.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Do we heal from all this?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Well, it's not going to be easy, and it's not
going to happen in four years, right, It's not going
to happen in four years, and it would be a
grave danger for people to consider that. Now, the temptation
is to do that, because, let's face it, we've all
been through this, this carnival fair called a presidential election,
and this last one was as insane as anything we've
ever seen in our lifetimes.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
All the rules were broken, all.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
The traditions were crumpled upon, all the mechanisms were changed
and shortened. And then you talk about anomalies, they were
hanging from every tree. We don't have to repeat them all.
It was just the weirdest season at all and it
just like was a giant train running us into one direction.
Well guess what, Now that train hit the station, and
everything that was on that train is going to go

(08:20):
in three different directions at the same time. And Donald
Trump and the presidency is only going to have one
lever of control on all of this, because now you've
got the administrative state and you've got Congress, and they're
going to be going into battle. Now in light of that,
you also have Soros and Podesta and all of their
minions sitting over on the side knowing that they moved

(08:41):
to their resistance strategy, which will be to knock off
five members of the House within twenty four months and
flip the whole situation on Trump. That's where they're going,
and at the same time to move into litigation as
soon as they can. Within two years, they'll be lawsuits everywhere.
So now we've gone from this hit parade of of
you know, who's coming to town. Now we've got things

(09:02):
going crazy at all three directions. Who are you going
to trust?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
But that's a dangerous game too, right because we saw,
you know, when Elizabeth Warren came out and tried to
play the envy game, which is basically the freedom is
based and what has sustained us over the hundreds of
years is taxation, rich people being a little less rich
so everyone else can have an opportunity. And we talk
about twisting the intent of our founding fathers for taxation,

(09:30):
which hasn't even been a reality. It was a temporary
occurrence for war, and then it became a permanent and
progressive rewarding of failure and penalizing of success. But then
she dips into justifying an assassination attempt an assassination on
a CEO of a healthcare company, and it just seems
to go too far. It's almost like deplorable. Right, you

(09:52):
go from attacking a political opponent to the supporters, now
you're attacking the American people.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Well, you just give up a perfect example of why
this is going to take time to work its way out.
And if there's any theme to our conversation, I hope
it will be that we can get people to be
thinking now on a twelve year plan.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, reasonably going to take time.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
I mean, look, you just described a human necessity which
has always been viewed as a necessary evil, but an
evil taxation, and now we're talking about converting it into
a moral agency. But the reality is the net result
of that change in people's rhetoric and in government behavior
is to create a permanent underclass in the United States

(10:32):
of America that can't get out of government support. We've
created a new brand of slavery in our world, which
is people who are addicted and can't break free from
the government taking care of their fundamental basic needs because
they can't find employment that'll pay as much after taxes
as the government pays them with our taxes.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I always i'm in awe of the brilliance of our
founding fathers, the hoops they went through to create a
form of government where people were truly free, protected in liberty,
and given real opportunity, but ultimately, and I know this

(11:17):
is kind of oversimplifying, but ultimately giving the people kingship,
the people control. It took very smart people to brilliantly
study all human history, to learn from failed forms of
government and others to create such a government.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I mean, for that to be missed by an Elizabeth Warren, it's.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Really literally to the expression a cry out loud shame
number one.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
That's heart breeding.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
But how hard and brilliant they worked to make us
be in control. And then it goes back before Woodrow Wilson,
but starting with Woodrow Wilson, then the New Deal, then
the Great Society, and then the whole progressive bookend movement,
and how it has tried to reverse that to where
the government's in control and the people are enslaved is

(12:08):
one of the great tug of wars of human history.
It's right up there with you the devil Lucifer taunting God,
can you get people to love you with free will?
I mean, it's that kind of a a I'm sorry, David,
it's completely moral.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah, and they knew it too, because they knew that
to place the ultimate moral authority for civil government in
the people, as opposed to a monarchy or a state,
would require a people who could learn how to treat
one another with fairness and justice. And that doesn't happen
outside of moral transformation. Those of us left to our

(12:45):
own devices, including myself and everybody else, will always eventually
do the wrong thing left to our own devices. And
we are not a perfectable race. But of course that's
a part of this whole thing of how we got
to where we are right now, because all of us
were taught in school. But we are a perfectible race.
That there's a force in the universe that makes us
better every day we wake up. That's called progressivism. That

(13:07):
the line is always going forward so that our children
will be smarter and better than us, and we're better
and smarter than the people who came before us. I
remember talking on a radio show years ago with another
big national type guy, and he said, Oh, come on,
don't talk to me about John Adams. He never even
know how to use a computer. Nothing he can say
could possibly be relevant. Oh my gosh, I actually believe it,

(13:30):
Oh my gosh. In our journey of discovery, don't miss
the journey itself, which is to acknowledge that you can't
understand anything just by following headlines. Headlines will just take
you on a narrative journey and it'll play right into
their agenda. It's behind the headline that is the story

(13:54):
and the details where you find real understanding. And that's
why we go beyond the headlines and the reality is
what we're dealing with is a breach of trust and
a broken trust and trying to heal that. And that
is not a one president for your journey by any
stretch more with David's not even when we come.

Speaker 6 (14:13):
Back, it's your morning show with Michael del Jno.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
You are joining a journey of discovery in progress. David's Anda,
he's the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable joining us,
and we're really talking about what's buried underneath whatever the
daily headline is. And it's consistently been a breach of trust,
whether it's COVID, whether it's the January sixth insurrection, whether
it's election irregularities and anomalies or stealing elections, or media

(14:39):
bias that's turned of media death. There's a lack of
trust that consequence kicks in. I mean narratives. They always
die and the cause of death is reality consequence. But
you know these things happen. I guess I could go
back to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, I could
go back to Watergate. There are a lot of things

(15:01):
that have breached our trust. Your founding fathers created a
government where you would be king and others would serve
you and always protect you. You were always in control
with the people. Since then, progressivism has tried to turn
the table on that and make the elite and those
that are governing over you. It's all about control at

(15:21):
the end of the day. COVID was the most blatant
example of control. But what do you think January sixth
was about?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
What do you think an.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Election irregularities are about? What do you think media bias
is about? What do you think polls are usually about?
Controlling you? That's what they're after. Now, this happens over
a long period of time, and it can't be corrected
by one president in one term, by any stretch. But
what are reasonable expectations for a return of Donald Trump
for a second term.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Well, I think that the first time we've got to
do is get a number out there on the table,
because given you've got four years, which means you have
four opportunities for Congress to meet in your wildest imagination
in regards to significant reform that involves laws that will
go forward, you got to pick four things. You can't
pick forty. You got to pick four and hope that

(16:11):
you get through and take the right first steps.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
So what are the four and what are the right
first steps to take a giant lead towards not just
making America great again, but America trusting its government again.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Let's break that down right after your local break.

Speaker 6 (16:29):
Breton Franklin, Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
In my morning show is your morning show with Michael
Del Giorno.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Hey, it's me Michael.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
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. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine, and we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy
the podcast a different man and have an even better
or different expectation. But when Zuckerberg gives a million, Bezos

(17:02):
gives a million to the Inauguration Fond, you start seeing
Fetterman making sense. It's like some kind of a healing
has taken place and we didn't see the great a
miracle happen. It's just like everybody is wised up. What's
a reasonable expectation for four years of Donald Trump? And
then what is unreasonable? Because he's a man, not a messiah.
And so we've identified you probably got to take four

(17:26):
really important moves and really either really important first steps
towards or accomplished. In other words, Doje is a great
example of a first step. But that's not going to
solve the deficit, debt and the moral answer to the
question of what is the proper size and role of
government to fix things not just in our time but

(17:47):
for all time.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
But it's a good first step.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
So, David, what would be a reasonable expectation of things
Donald Trump, even though he gets a second first one
hundred days, can achieve in a second term.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
To get Congress to act four times on four significant
measures in one term would be a very big deal.
Almost never happens. So what four things would be most important?
And we can all argue about the priority, sorry, because
which should be one, two, three?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
But look, the first American people seem pretty solidified behind
fix the economy.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
And to do that, we've got to secure the tax
structure that we have right now. We have to make
sure the taxes do not suddenly spike or the wall
streets and the American cuts and builders. We've got to
solidify the tax cuts so that people know what is
expected going forward, because certainty is everything. Uncertainty is a
killer for the economy, and we shouldn't change what works.

(18:40):
So let's stick with what we've got and let's let's
make those tax cuts permanent going forward. Secondly is energy,
and people say, well, he doesn't need Congress to do energy.
Yes he does, but he can also do a lot
from executive order, but he's going to have to have
congressional help as well. So resolving the questions on energy
are big deals and behind the scenes, don't kid yourself.
That's why big tech is coming to his side right

(19:02):
now because they need private nuclear. Their goal is to
create their own energy for their own AI development, and
to get that they're going to need a huge amount
of government get out of the way, and Trump is
a perfect marriage for their agenda. So they're moving in
now for a reason and purpose. I'd say Third Obviously immigration,
he's got to it. And now I'm saying that that
you wait and do that.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Number three.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I'm talking about how much can you get done immigration?
And then fourth is a toss up. Doze is a
big deal, Michael, as far as what can we do
in genuine budget reform, Doge is pretty hard not to
put in that top four. But you've also got the
reform of the Department of Justice. You've also got questions
on healthcare. On healthcare, you've got questions on housing. So this,
if we can get three, then the problem there's going

(19:45):
to be a big fight for the last fourth. But
one other point I want to get in here is
this is all stuff that he has to delegate down
through his administrative leaders that he's putting in his cabinet
level officials and others, and through his party in the
House and the sen But there's one thing Donald Trump
can do for four straight years that will change America significantly,

(20:05):
and that's he can tell the truth.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
He can be an.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
Exposer, he can tell people what he's learning and why,
because that doesn't just destroy that heals exactly.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
That's a big part of it. Right, Oh my gosh,
this is what they were doing.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Yes, yes, we could start with the Kennedy files, or
we could we could stick with dog, we could just
when when when Favec and Elon come in and say,
you're not going to believe this, mister president. The next
day he says, let me show you what I just
learned yesterday. Because we know we've been lied to, we
know we're in a terrible mess. The American people want
to hear how bad it is so we can get

(20:44):
back to ground zero and figure out what we've got
to do. Because, as we were talking last hour, the
idea that putting the authority for civil government at the
level of the people and the ultimate accountability to the people,
that didn't mean that we you know, we just got
a magic wan and they look at us. We're king,
we're big deals. Now you work for us. Like I
hear so many people say, no, what it means is

(21:05):
we're going to have to do the work right. We're
not going to trust somebody else to do the work.
We need to know what the score is and.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
How and how important is it.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Because we often talked about a Trump two point zero,
I don't know that a Trump two point oh was coming.
I think a Trump two point oh was created through
law fair tying him up in court, through nearly assassinating him.
But I think a humble leadership would go a long
way so that it's not perceived as well. We can
only be great if Donald Trump's president, and we can

(21:35):
only be great because our greatness doesn't come from Donald Trump.
It comes from living what our founding fathers provided for us.
And I think if he's wise, he'll take the first
four or five really big steps, get results, set this
new standard, and hand it off to the next to do.
In other words, you don't want to I don't want

(21:56):
to say it this way, but you almost don't want
to achieve too much because you want to leave something
for the handoff.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Right, Yeah, And.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Reality will make sure that the too much button never
gets hit, because it never has. And in this situation,
you know that there are billions of dollars of resistance
waiting to roll out against him, particularly in the upcoming
races for the House, no matter whether it's two years
or four years or six years down the road. So no,
I don't think we're going to get to too much.

(22:24):
But I think that what he can do is to
empower the network of people underneath him to be the
ones who are going to say, now we're going to
go forward.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Sometimes the best way to find out what something is
is discuss what it is not. Let's do the reverse
side of it. What would he not accomplish in the
first one hundred days or the second four years that
we would say is disappointing. If there isn't regulatory reform,
if the text cuts aren't extended, if the energy policy

(22:54):
isn't corrected, if the border isn't at least secured in
the deporte beginning of those with criminal records, and if
DOGE doesn't go through and start really getting rid of
all this duplication and waste, then I think he falls short.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
But don't count on it. I think they're going to
get all that done.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Well, let's talk for just a second about the value
of DOGE. The value of DOGE is going to put
a spotlight on Congress at at exactly the time it
needs to happen. By reporting DOGE by July fourth, we've
been improving these budgets year after year exactly.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
They've been the ones that have been hiding in the weeds.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
And by pressing this out, it really puts pressure on
the congressional elections, and it's a positive pressure for genuine reform.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
So that strategy is brilliant. It's so smart.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
I forgive me, I hadn't thought of it. Whoever thought
it up, I don't know if they thought it up
with this much in mind, But the potential of what
they can do there on truth telling is dramatic.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
That's probably the classic example of it's not the solution,
it is the right, perfect first giant leap and step.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Well, you're great at diagnosis. That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, the doctor coming in saying this is what we
really got here, because that's a true cancer that we
don't have a revenue problem. In fact, we've had record revenue.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
And John F. Kennedy's John F.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Kennedy got this in nineteen sixty two when he explained, listen,
cutting taxes is a moral issue. First of all, when
somebody works, it's their money, they earned it, not the
governments to tell them how much they get to keep,
and you trust how they'll spend it. They'll pay off
their debts and you know what else they'll do. They'll
spend and as they spend, businesses grow. As businesses grow,

(24:34):
they hire more taxpayers, burdened, less funds government more efficiently.
So you know, I mean he got it in sixty two.
I think Reagan got it in eighty four. I think
w kind of got it, but he didn't get the
spending part of it. I think Trump gets it, and
I think he'll finally address it in this very unique

(24:55):
second term. But DOSH is brilliant because it's not the
solution in and of itself. It's the right, necessary, first step,
and it ultimately leads to this question, what is the
size and proper size and role of government? And what
is the role and responsibility of the self governed? That's
the question never asked, never answered. That's the conversation never had.
But once you get through everything Doze reveals and you

(25:16):
get rid of that wasteful duplication spending and the nonsense
of Congress has been approving, then you get onto those
more important questions.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Those should take some advice from you. Their themes should
be your favorite two sentences from the Life and Service
of JFK. The ask not line has to come back
because that was the line in which JFK was closest
to the founders of this country. We didn't create a
country that would go to work for us. We created
a country that we could work for ourselves.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Because at the end of the day, if you don't,
then all you have is the four years of Donald Trump,
and then you go right back to what doesn't work.
But if it comes back to you, and it comes
back to what our founding fathers provided for us and
the laws of the economy and the laws of sovereignty,
you will have it to preserve for your time and
for all time.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
There's enough.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I know.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
That was your lot of a body. Give you credit?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Did that go over the microphone? Could you hear Jack
in the background say that, No, but I saw.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
His lips moving.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, the statue is right behind me. Great journey of discovery, David,
couldn't do it without you. Have a great weekend, all right,
forty six minutes after the hour if you're just waking up,
we gotta do this fast.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
But here's your top five stories.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
Of the day.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
A bombshell report.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Confirming we were all lied to.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Twenty six FBI informants are on the ground on January
sixth at the Capitol during the riots.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
They were even inside the Capitol. Tammy Trhilo reports.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
NBC Justice reporter Ryan Riley says the report might turn
out to be divisive.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
That number is certainly going to raise a lot of concerns,
I think on the right, and that's something that we've
seen some Republicans in Congress really zero in on.

Speaker 7 (26:59):
The Justice Department Inspector General report says, however, only three
of the confidential human sources were tasked by the bureau
to report signs of domestic terrorism, remaining twenty three win
on their own, and Riley says it wasn't up to
the FBI to monitor their whereabouts. The report goes on
to say that there were no FBI undercover agents on
the scene and that the FBI mishandles some intel it

(27:20):
received before the riot. I'm tammy triheo, while.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
We played the cultural narrative game that is destroying futures
and lives. The United Kingdom is extending its ban on
puberty blockers for children.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Brian Shook reports the government announced this week that medications
used to treat gender dysphoria are banned for adolescence. In
announcing the decision, Britain's Health secretary points to a panel
that suggests prescribing puberty blockers to young people carries an
unacceptable risk. The government first put an emergency ban in

(27:52):
place in May. I'm Brian Shuck.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
I know what are all these drones over New Jersey?
While the White House wants you to know it's not
a right. Speaking of Trost, Christian Marx reports on the
briefing that resulted with very little answers.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
National Security spokesman John Kirby said and a White House
briefing that they haven't been able to confirm the sightings.

Speaker 10 (28:14):
Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities,
we have not been able to and neither of state
or local law enforcement of authorities corroborate any of the
reported visual sightings, he said.

Speaker 9 (28:27):
The FBI is working with a Department of Homeland Security
to further investigate. Kirby says there is no evidence that
the drones pose a national security or public safety threat
or are coming from foreign adversaries. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Mikey Cheryl
is among the latest Garden State leaders calling for more
answers from the feds.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Kristin Marx NBC News Radio.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well, the press beating the Dallas Stars almost sent me
into a heart attack and now the reality that the
New York City mayor Eric Adams may be my favorite
mayor has got me wondering what's going on. He says
he's going to meet with Tom Holman. The orders are
and he told the liberal press why. Natalie macgliori has
that story.

Speaker 11 (29:04):
A group of demonstrators flocked to City Hall to protest
the meeting, where they discuss the migrant crisis in the
city and federal immigration policy. Protesters say it's important New
Yorkers know who Adams is meeting WET.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
Because he represents such an extreme threat to New York
families and immigrants in the city.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
We think that you should really.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Be protecting all New Yorkers, including immigrants, relardless of immigration status.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
Homan has threatened to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities
that don't cooperate with deportation plans. New York is a
sanctuary city, but Adams has said he would like local
law enforcement to work with federal immigration agents to identify into.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Port migrants committing crimes. I'm Natalie mcgliori.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Detuono.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Record number of people expected to travel this holiday season,
according to a White House Press conference.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Those drones over New Jersey, they are no great threat.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
And President Biden granting clemency to fifteen hundred Americans and
partning thirty nine, well, he's in the holiday giving spirit.
Roy O'Neill is here with that story. Good morning, Rory,
Good morning, Michael. Happy Friday, Happy Friday. All right, So
fifteen hundred I think we're looking at in terms of

(30:17):
clement nineteen YEPA.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
So just sad one make it around why fourteen ninety right?

Speaker 4 (30:23):
I know.

Speaker 12 (30:24):
So the clemencies were given to people who were released
from prison and serving the rest of their sentences on
home confinement.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
And they were released during the COVID pandemic.

Speaker 12 (30:34):
So for the most of these people, they've served a
large portion of their sentence behind bars. But then because
COVID was spreading rapidly through prisons, especially among the older ones,
they said, all right, you all can go home and
serve out your five, six, seven, eight, ten years at
home with an ankle monitor. And in many of those cases,
now for the nonviolent ones, that's where the sentence was commuted.

(30:54):
You're not getting a pass on the crime, but the sentence.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Is ended effective, all right, And by the way, we're
gonna do that when we're done. How this and by
the way, on the pardons were far probably from done.
But another thirty nine individuals. So what do we know
on the pardoning front.

Speaker 12 (31:11):
Yeah, as you said, thirty nine got pardons for a
range of you know, they're listing them in you know, Oh, look,
this was a guy who had a drug crime fifty
years ago. He served in the military honorably since then.
He's now seventy two years old, So they're giving that
guy a pardon. And they so they cherry picked some
of the pardons and try to spin things as positively

(31:31):
as possible.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
On the commutations.

Speaker 12 (31:33):
That's sort of been a shotgun approach, flood the zone
kind of thing. And we're all still trying to go
through some of these names because it's again fifteen hundred
to figure out what their crimes were. One of them
is this Pennsylvania judge who was part of the Kids
for Cash scandal.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
He would sentenced kids to juvie and.

Speaker 12 (31:50):
Then get a kickback from the private company that ran
the facility, and the judge collected about two million dollars
in that scam. Sadly, one of the kids who went
to Juvie though, committed suicide. So this judge was sentenced
to seventeen and a half years in prison back in
twenty eleven, but with COVID got sent home in twenty
twenty and had been serving out the rest of the
sentence there and was probably had what six or seven years, yeah,

(32:14):
three or four years left on it.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
We had another I think it was Rasmusen this time,
and it was somewhere in the sixties that do not
support the parting of his son Hunter. There'll be some
controversial pardons like that, but these kinds of mass clemency
and large groups of parting, this is not uncommon.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Right, Well, this is a record breaking number.

Speaker 12 (32:38):
The last record for clemency's it was three hundred something
and that was by a Barack obomb. So we went
from three hundred to fifteen hundred with promises of more
to come.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Enhild, Joano
