Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee,
two below, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast one.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're in
this together.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael gill Chorna. This
is Patrick and Christiania, Tennessee. And for my birthday on Sunday,
this Navy veteran wants Navy to beat Army. Go Navy
and Army. That's blocked.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
First of all, Happy birthday, Pat's so glad you were born.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Second of all, that's a tough ask.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
The Army's eleven and one on its way to twelve
and one on its way after a bowl of third
teen and one and a best record ever. You were
mentioning the Army uniforms right, and they got the club,
the Clover club on an all black helmet they're honoring
the one hundred and first, which is just north of
us here in Nashville. The scream at Eagles. It is

(01:14):
a great looking uniform. Don't get me wrong, but how
did you miss? How do this for pat? The Navy uniform?
Oh wow, now they're gonna be the Jolly Roger themed uniform.
But oh that look at that helmet. That is you
gotta love it. That's becoming the new tradition. I remember

(01:36):
being a kid, you'd watch Army Navy and they're all
in uniform. It's just a it's a spectacle in a
great game. But as of late, the new tradition has been,
you know, bring out these amazing uniforms, so good uniforms.
A really good Army team and a good Navy team
at eight and three, but Army eleven and one. That'll
be tomorrow at two Central, the Army Navy Classic. Except

(01:56):
for not the Commander in Chief.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
The d What a week it's been.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Hail to the Chapie's the one we all say Hail
to it again. The Person of the Year. Good morning,
mister President, Well.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Good morning to you. Petcha boy. I gotta tell you,
you know, the Person of the Year award is quite
an honor, I can tell you that. But we all
saw that coming. You know, they were thinking of putting
Kamala on the cover. I can't believe it. I said,
why the hell would you put her on the cover.
But they were thinking about putting her on the cover,
and she was too drunk to show off to her

(02:32):
photo shoot and it didn't work out too well. So
we're on the cover. We're very happy about it.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
She's on the cover of the Rolling I'm stoned, you
know that may be. And I know you've taking some
very good pictures. You're you're a very handsome man. But
this picture the Time magazine chose maybe my favorite picture
if you.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Ever well, it's a beautiful picture. But I would say,
you know, the Bete picture to yous would have been
either one of two pictures. Right, you may be familiar
with it. A lot of people are familiar with it.
We call it the Mona Lisa of mug shots. Right,
there's never been a better mug shot. I can tell
you that there's never been a better mug shot. You know,

(03:14):
you look at it, I look beautiful. A lot of
people said to me, sir, nobody has ever looked at
good in a mug shot before. But the picture that
I would have used, or that I would have liked
to use, would have been the fight picture. Right with
my fist in the air. We were having a great
time getting up off the ground. You know, they shot me.
I got shot in the ear. But but we did

(03:35):
very well. You know, we got off, we got we
said fight, fight, fight, and that should have been the
picture that we used. But they also took a fantastic
picture for Time magazine. And they have not been very
nice to me over the years, but they are, you
know they are. And I said to them, it looks
like there's a little brown on your nose. Now, what
are you guys doing? Have you been around Crooked Joe?

(03:57):
Orre you smooching? Right? What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Speaking of that? Zuckerberg Meta gives you a million dollars.
Bezos gives you a million dollars. Why are all these
people trying to get on the Trump train?

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, they want me to take it easier on them, right,
You know what Zuckerberg did in twenty twenty. We know
what Jeff Bezos says been up to. You know, he's
he's been an interesting guy and he's trying to make
the Washington Post, you know, more respected, because nobody respects
them anywhere. They are a bunch of fake news, you know,
the A lot of people call them the Washington compposts,

(04:30):
right because of what happens. This is a horrible publication
Mark Zuckerberg and what he did to me over on
Facebook and what he did to so many other people
is horrible. But if they want to come around and
they want to help us make America great again any more,
the merrier that much, I can say.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
All right, so what a year?

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I mean, from the law fair that tied you up
in court was designed to destroy you, it actually brought
out the best in you, and really the best in
your party. As you were under gag order, others had
to come speak for you. The party was united behind you.
You never had a campaign, you won the primary, you
never had a debate, you won the primary. You arrived

(05:13):
at the convention a survivor of an assassination attempt. And
now it all ends with a popular vote victory, a
somewhat landslide in the electoral College, and now Person of
the Year.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
That's an extraordinary year for one human being to have.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well, you call it excuse me, Well, hold on, you
call it a somewhat landslide. It was a big, beautiful landslide.
It was a landslide bigger than Stacy Abrams aft the
boat Jangles. You know what I'm talking about, right, You
know this was a landslide. She got the sighting God,
and you know it was a big Well you did that.
You know, let's let's look at it. You said somewhat landslide.

(05:49):
You invited that. This is a terrible thing to say.
I expect it a lot better when I look at it.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
When I look like that, I did not mean to
offend you. I meant I mean you swept.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Did it? Okay, You're gonna be all right, You're gonna
be okay. It was a beautiful landslid. I'm going to
tell you something. Nobody has ever seen a landslid like
we've seen, except Reagan, who we love, but different times.
You know, the media wasn't as bad. Now we have
a horrible media, and we did a beautiful landslide. We
won the popular vote, we won the electoral college, bigger

(06:21):
and better than quite frankly, possibly anybody ever has since
Ronald Reagan. When you look at it, we did so well,
and we're very happy about it. We've had a beautiful year.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
You bring up the Washington Post, I mean, look at
CNN is in the news today. They're getting beat by
the Food Channel. I mean, think of all your enemies
and where you're headed, how united the country is behind you,
how optimistic the country is, and behind you and their
reality I mean beaten by the food.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Well, you look at you look at fake news CNN, right,
you look at fake New CNN. And there's a lot
of people who watch what they used to watch, right,
Fake New CNN. And you mentioned my enemies. So let's
go on the list of the gas giants. Okay, whoopee Goldberg,
Stacy Abrams, Chris Christie, right, all of these people. JB. Pritzker,

(07:10):
he's a big guy. These are people right who are
watching CNN. But they couldn't stay away from the food
networks for the very long so they went back to watching,
and that's why they lost their ratings. CNN has lost
the gas giants, right, They've lost the Rosie o'donald's who
busy talking to squirrels and she's talking about other things.

(07:33):
Even CNN has lost the gas giants now, they're watching
the Food Network. Bobby Flay, he's a Bobby that I
don't really like. We like our Bobby, Bobby Kennedy, Right,
guy Fieri, beautiful person by the way, silly here, beautiful guy.
They're all watching the Food Network now.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, and you know QBC can't be far behind speaking
of great theories, because you just you've.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Got your thumb on that everything. I never thought about that.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
When you think about it, Food Channel would be their
second choice based on their size. What's your theory on
all the drones? What is going on over the New
Jersey skies?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Well, I have to tell you something. First of all,
they were flying drones over mar A Lago and I
took a few of them down. I don't know if
you know that, but I took a few of them down.
I walked out out to the golf course and I
started blasting very long drives with my beautiful driver and
my good friend Brightson to Shambo. He's a great guy.

(08:32):
I don't know if you know about it, but I
taught him out a golf fantastic person. And you know,
we were taking drones down with the golf balls. We
were shooting them down. But New Jersey's having a problem.
And I got on the phone with a few beautiful
people in New Jersey. There's a great people, smart and
they said to me, sir, what are we going to
do about all these drones? Right? And I said, it's

(08:54):
very easy, very easy thing to do. You have a
guy in New Jersey, he used to be a governor.
He's huge, he's a huge person. You could deploy Chris
Christie and he could catch the drones in his orbit.
It's incredible. It would be perfect. They would have nowhere

(09:16):
else to go. And if worst case scenario happens, you
could fill Chris Christy with helium. You could float him
into the sky and he could eat the drones, right,
he could eat them and he would love that. He
would be like it would be like a big flying
pac Man in the sky. He'd even probably say walk
a walk, a walk, as long as he thought he

(09:37):
was going to get to eat something. So you could
float him up there like pac Man. We called him,
by the way, we call him snack Man because that
guy has not seen a snack that he doesn't like. Right, Like, No,
there's no position. Not only is there no position a
pizza boy, there's no room for that guy.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
There's never any room for that guy.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
There's no room for him. There's no room for him anywhere.
When you look at there's no room for him. You
could put him in a forty thousand square foot room.
It would be at Max's capacity before he even got
his left leg in there. It's a horrible thing, you know,
you look at him. We could deploy Chris Christy. He
could eat the drones. He could catch the drones in

(10:19):
his orbit. As my good friend Obi Wan Kenobi said,
I got along well with him. A clothing ben. He said,
that's no moon, it's a space station.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
All right.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
What do you make of this bombshell report that is
out on January sixth?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
So the FBI obviously lied.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
They're trying to hide behind but we didn't have undercover agents, you,
but they.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
The opposite.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
The Inspector General reveals that they had undercover informants.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Again, we all.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Knew the games they were playing on January sixth, But
I think this explains why Ray stepped down. But what
do you make of all that's coming out? And what
more can we expect to learn from cash Battel one
seas in place?

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Well, we love cash, right, they say it's eight seven
seven cash now, right, JG. Wentworth. By the way, the
FBI is a horrible organization. And I wrote that song
for J. G. Wentworth. I told you that, right, eight
seven seven. But we have cash. He's coming in cold,

(11:21):
hard cash. We love cash. We're going to clean it
up because what they did on January sixth, to these
beautiful people is a horrible thing. And we knew they
were lying. They always lie. They spied on me, They
probably spined on you. Right, you're a very interesting guy.
They say, what kind of tests for you today? He's
a very interesting guy.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I like a little bit of basil and.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Maybe some nice spicy Italian sausage.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Well, they say, you have beautiful taste, and I think
you just showed. You showed everybody. That's a fantastic chap.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
But we don't.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
We have to clean up the FBI, and we're going
to do that, all right.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Let me ask the final question is the invitation to
she was there?

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, I get along very well with President g right,
and I was looking maybe he can what we were
looking to do. To be completely honest, he's a nice guy.
We call him Winnie the Pool because he looks like
Winnie the Poop. But we were looking for the best
way to bring in some authentic Chinese food to the inauguration,

(12:27):
and we're hoping he brings it with him all the
way from China, and that's the only thing we want
him to bring from China. The last time something came
over here from China was very mad. But now it's
going to be tremendous. We're letting him in and we're
showing him right. We're showing him, we're showing the rest
of the world right that we are not to be
messed with that Daddy's home and it's not to respect

(12:49):
America again. That's what I could do there.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
He's forty seven elect it's Friday with forty.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Five held the gv's one.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
We all say hill to he has a power because
he takes a shower to President.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Thank you as.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Always, Thank you, God, bless you. You're a fantastic expression.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Have a great weekend, mister President.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Twenty one minutes after the hour, quick peek at your
not one, not two, but top five stories of the day.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
When your morning show continues twenty one.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Minutes after the hour, this is your Morning Show with
Michael Dotno.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well of report years in the making, says there were
twenty six FBI informants on the ground, but.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
They weren't paid, and they weren't told to go.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
They just coincidentally were there, even inside the Capitol. A
bombshell concerning the January sixth FBI involvement, Tammy Trihuilo has more.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
NBC Justice reporter Ryan Riley says the report might turn
out to be divisive.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
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 the.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Justice Department inspector General. Report says, however, only three of
the confidential human sources were tesked 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 received

(14:15):
before the riot. I'm Tammy trheo.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
I think we know why Ray step down now.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Meanwhile, President Trump, this paves the way for his pardon
most of the January sixth Capital rioters when he takes off.
As Mark Mayfield has more on that story.

Speaker 8 (14:28):
Trumpe told Time magazine, which had just named him in
Person of the Year for twenty twenty four, that the
pardons will start in the first hour. He also said
he will immediately reverse President Biden's executive orders to increase
drilling on federal land.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
This gets crazy and crazy right the Defense Fund it's
growing for the alleged killer of the United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson. Natalie Migliori reports more than.

Speaker 9 (14:51):
One thousand donations that poured in for Luigi Mangioni, with
many taking to a crowdsor's funding page to condemn the
US healthcare system. As people online glorified the twenty six
year old IVY League Grid New Yorker say he's no hero.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
Because I don't believe anybody should be able to lose
their life over their job. I don't think you he
that's like you me and a vit Detlanci in New
York City is illegal, so you're not a hero.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Manzioni had a few things in his possession when authorities
napped him in Pennsylvania. One of them was a fake
ID from New Jersey, another was a ghost gun, and
there was also a notebook where he reportedly wrote the
attack was targeted, precise and doesn't risk innocence.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
I'm Natalie Migliori.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
This is Shannon Gregory, and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael de Rijono. Hey it's me Michael.
Your Morning Show has heard live from five to eight
am Central, six to nine am Eastern, three to six
am Pacific on great radio stations like News Radio eleven

(15:51):
ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty
k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one oh four seven
at Washington d C. We'd love to have you join
us live in the morning, even take us along on
the drive your work, but better late than never.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Enjoyed the podcast.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Dollars, it's half the jackpot prize. The guy lost the
other ticket.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Oh he doesn't have the other ticket, can't find it.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Oh, so now he's suing the lottery, saying, hey, look,
you have me on video buying the tickets.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
You know these are the numbers my kids picked.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
I played these numbers every single time like you should
there is enough other evidence out here to suggest that
I am the person who bought the other ticket, but
the lottery has said no ticket.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
No prize.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, but the first thing that struck me was even
at four hundred million, it's only it's.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Only half of what Wan SODA's making for the New
York Mets.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
So would have perspected okay, So yeah, that's that's a
big difference, two hundred to four hundred million, and I
imagine that would affect the cash payoff too, right, whether
all right?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
So he's only right.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
So the California Lottery, he said, Okay, he showed us
one ticket, and since there were two, who ticket won
the prize, here's half your jackpot, and if you want
to show us the other ticket, will be happy to
give you the other one.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
But so far he hasn't been able to find that
other ticket.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
So if he filed a lawsuit against the California Lottery
saying there should be enough evidence to prove I'm the
guy that bought it, and now it's in the lawyer's hands.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
It's in the lawyer's hands who will probably win a
lottery jackpot just in handling the case. You know, we
often talk about how history can be revised. It can
be revised in classrooms, it can be revised in documentaries.
Reality can be revised daily through bias. I don't know
how history revised or accurately is going to remember Joe Biden.

(17:42):
There's a lot to think about, COVID, changing of election laws,
winning a big election in twenty twenty by an amount
they haven't been able, they never achieved prior or since.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean, there's a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
So, and then the hiding him in a basement, and
then of course his cognitive impairment, then being forced out
of the race.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
But this may be the most accurate picture.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
So a new survey finds most voters have negative views
on the economy, seventy seven percent negative. And Rory, I
think it was pretty consistent, wasn't it. Between sixty five
and seventy percent thought we were heading in the wrong
direction leading up into the election, and it was driven
mainly by the economy and the border, their personal financial situation.
You know, this gets back to the famous Ronald Reagan quote, Look,

(18:28):
if your life is better off four years after Jimmy Carter,
than by all means, reelect him. If it's not, And
that's the gauge that we use with right and wrong direction,
but it was personal. Sixty two percent had a negative
view of their personal financial situation overall, a seventy seven
percent negative view of the economy what we talked about,
which was hard to overcome, no matter what commercials or

(18:49):
what narratives you try to sell. Every time they fill up,
every time they go to the grocery store, it's a reminder.
They also think that things were actually getting worse as
he leaves office. Six four percent and three quarters say
inflation has caused them financial hardship over the last six months.
And then we've seen the new polling heading into Donald

(19:09):
Trump's second term, a sixty five a CNN poll, sixty
five percent optimistic that Donald Trump can solve the economic
problems for this country. Really really goes out with a
wimp or not a bang. These are some really bad
numbers for an outgoing president.

Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yeah, yup, no question about it. But you know that's
reflected obviously in the election from last month. And you
know it's the economy stupid, is really what this comes
down to.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, and that seemed to be a lesson. You wouldn't
think that normally a party would have to learn again.
But I think it might be their biggest mistake. It's
their line, it's their line, right, But what do you think?

Speaker 3 (19:49):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Just because I'm very curious, you covered this for decades
and stuff this every president comes down to like, ohay,
easy on your age. But every president comes down to
like a single thought.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
You know Reagan, the great communicator led to a Reagan
generational revolution. Uh, you know, Kennedy Obama, you know, everybody
comes out of one thing. What do you think Joe
Biden's going to be remembered for. It might be cognitive impairment, right,
that debate performance. Yeah, it's gonna be up there.

Speaker 10 (20:19):
But it's a bike, right, Yeah, come up, we're pony
His inability to articulate any kind of message. Yeah, that's
it because you know, because you know you mentioned although yes,
every time you go to the grocery store it's awful.
But every time you look at your four oh one
k you're like, oh, that's not so bad, or or
the value of your you look up your house on Zillo,
you're like, oh, hey, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
But yeah, but when I go to the supermarket, like
chicken is how much in.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
My car, So then four oh one k you had
to use to cover inflation. And by the way, there's
two sides of this coin. That's definitely the perception of
Biden leaving, and don't forget there's the high expectation of
Donald try to fix that. And we did a long
journey of discovery. What are reasonable expectations, what are the

(21:06):
four or five things he can achieve? And in many cases,
like Doge, it's just a good first step that leads
to even smarter, second, third, and ultimate solution steps and
to hand off to the next generation of trump Ism.
So that's kind of and I think the incoming administration
has that perspective.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
They seem to anyway.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Well, and you know, it's always great if the country
is more optimistic, and if that's the way we're going
into this, all the betterment.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Coming up on the weekend Dive for those that follow
it on the iHeartRadio app or on their lower.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Stations, more about that Mets deal and just exactly how
do you pay for a seven sixty five million dollars salary?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
What are the beer prices going to be? So we'll
talk a little bit more about that.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
Obviously, the manhunt and the investigation out of Midtown and
the assassination of Brian Thompson, the United Health executive, plus
all the developments in Syria this week.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
And I thought this was a holiday time but a
lot of series, do you know?

Speaker 1 (22:00):
But I always use the expression life is best understood
looking back, but unfortunately has to be lived looking forward.
That's what I like about the Weekend Dive, even taking
a bite of one week looking back. And boy was
this week in extraordinary week, not the least of which
is Donald Trump ends up Person of the Year Time
Magazine for the second time. The Weekend Dive is a
great experience. Look forward on your iHeartRadio app hour on

(22:22):
your local station, and hopefully more stations are carrying it.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
We'll talk again next week, Roy, thank you, Michael. Talk
to you next year.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Oh you're off next week, I am ah, and then
I'm off after that. I'll talk to you next year.
And what a fast year has been here. Merry Christmas
to you, and I'll see you in the happy New year.
God bless you. All right, forty three minutes after the hour,
this is not necessarily two. Let's talk this first story.
So questions and conspiracies are swirling in the days following

(22:52):
the arrest of Luigi Mangeon, the main suspect in the
killing of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangio was arrested,
remains in custody and awaits trial. You have go fund
Me and thousands of Americans giving him defense funds. He's
on the left, somehow become a hero for some reason.
This doesn't translate as guns or evil for some reason.

(23:16):
In the case of Elizabeth Warren, which may be one
of the most despicable things I've ever heard a United
States senator say. One to mis the founding father's intent
and think taxation, progressive taxation is what makes America free
and great. But then she went on to say, you
can only push people so far. Justifying the killing of

(23:43):
a human being, a husband, father, a sacred creation in
God's image, justifying that based on envy hatred of the rich. Well, now,
new information seems to come to light daily. Mangioni's mother

(24:05):
says he had cut off those close to him in
the months leading up to the shooting. She reported a
missing in San Francisco back in November. In an anonymous
source at the San Francisco police identified Mangione as a
suspect four days before he was arrested. Thousands of donations
continue to pour in in support of the Ivy League

(24:27):
Graduates legal defense as he awaits a bail hearing. But
out of all of it, the biggest strangest thing he
didn't have insurance through United Healthcare. Somebody should get back
with Elizabeth Warren and ask her how a United Healthcare

(24:50):
push him in so far? And you can only push
somebody so far. That's that bombshell. Another bombshell, report years
in the making, says there were twenty six FBI in
and so on the ground in Washington, even inside the
Capitol during the riot. On January sixth, Tammy Trihuilo has more.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
NBC Justice reporter Ryan Riley says the report might turn
out to be divisive.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
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 6 (25:19):
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

(25:41):
received before the riot. I'm Tammy Trichello.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Morgan Wallan sentencing is in. He will get seven days
in a DUI education center that ought to producer great
song Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 11 (25:51):
Country music star appeared in a courtroom Thursday and pleaded
conditionally guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment. His
charges were reduced from felonese to misdemeanors during a hearing
earlier this week. Wallin will also be on supervised probation
for two years and we'll have to pay a three
hundred and fifty dollars fine and court fees. The singer

(26:13):
was arrested in April after throwing a chair off the
roof of Eric Church's six story bar. Chiefs I'm Brian
schuk Well.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
The California Highway Patrol says many everyday gestures are considered
aggressive when you're behind the wheel. Pre Tennis is here
with more on things you're probably doing that you shouldn't.

Speaker 12 (26:32):
A study by Google shows thirty nine percent of men
and twenty nine percent of women admit to some form
of road rage on the highway. Some of the most
popular are aggressive gestures like flashing your lights, honking your horn,
or delivering the bird. CHP says all three are considered
aggressive because they can escalate a situation into something serious,

(26:52):
and they are classified as road rage and for that
you can get a fine and up to ninety days
in jail. I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Let's wrap up this week and give the final say
to I'll say my favorite John Decker, White House correspondent
and Supreme Court our attorney, is joining us. You know
I always do the top five stories a day. There's
one big story today, a new report, a bombshell report,
and how the FBI infiltrated protesters. This may explain how

(27:24):
Nancy Pelosi and the Sergeant of Arms knew what was
coming weeks ahead of time.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
The questions are still white, didn't they do anything?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
But there is this issue of lying under oath because
the question was asked both ways undercover agent and informants.
And it turns out twenty six informants in all. Some
were in restricted areas, some were actually inside the Capitol.
What do you make of this story? And it's another
probably something that led up to a breach of trust
with the American people. But help us react proportionally to this.

Speaker 13 (27:52):
Well, you know, you can pick and choose what you
want out of this report to come to the conclusion
that you want to come to as it relates to
the site you report. It's that type of Inspector General's report.
What they found there was no evidence in the materials
that they reviewed or in the testimony that they received
showing that the FBI had undercover employees in the various

(28:13):
protest crowds are at the Capitol on January sixth. But
it's important to distinguish between FBI employees.

Speaker 14 (28:20):
And undercover sources or informants.

Speaker 13 (28:24):
Those people are not employed by the FBI. And so
what they found was that there were four confidential human
sources that did indeed enter the capital. One of those
confidential human sources testified at the Proud Boys trial, in
which several members of that far right group were found
guilty of seditious conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
All right, So I know we only have like a
couple of minutes. But and I don't want to get
off into talk radio narrative with this, but if they're
a confidential informant, these are probably individuals that had some
kind of problem the FBI and kind of deal, and
now they're used to infiltrate groups to give information, vital
information at BI. I mean, I'm connecting some pretty reasonable
dots when I say, well, this may be how they

(29:06):
knew what was coming ahead of time. The question still
is why didn't they prepare better?

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Right?

Speaker 14 (29:13):
That is a great question.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
You know, I was.

Speaker 13 (29:15):
Obviously in Washington, d C. On January sixth of twenty
twenty one. In the days leading up to January.

Speaker 14 (29:22):
Sixth, I didn't have any insider knowledge, Michael, in terms
of what exactly was going to happen.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
But I can tell you.

Speaker 13 (29:29):
Maybe it was my intuition. I knew something was going
to happen, and that's my intuition. And then you take
a look at the FBI.

Speaker 14 (29:36):
That had these confidential sources, it was more than intuition.

Speaker 13 (29:40):
They had people on the inside, and they did not
prepare well, to say the least for what happened on
January Good Fix of twenty twenty one.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
What is Donald Trump? I was live on the air
and I was very critical of the President. I thought
he was talking very responsibly or he was saying something,
you know when he said, you know, we'll go down there,
and I'm like, we that means it's been cleared with
secrets servers.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Is he really going down there?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Is really something like the way the position he put
his vice president in. I think Donald Trump said things
very stupid, But at the end of the day, the
sergeant of arms reports to the speaker. The sergeant of
arms revealed to the speaker these potential problems. The speaker
chose to do nothing, and that's what made it feel
like a trap that Donald Trump dumbley walked right into

(30:24):
and it was certainly weaponized after So, you're right, everyone
will look at this and process it the way they want.
For me, it connects all the dots I pretty much
had already connected, and it's very troubling. And at the
end of the day, what it really boils down to
is another breach of trust.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Everything that was.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Told was a lie and so on turns out to
be true. We've been here with COVID. We've been here
with the media, We've been here with elections, and I
think the biggest damage in this country's been loss of
trust and restoring it's going to be its biggest challenge.

Speaker 13 (30:55):
Well, well, I think you're right. You know, there is
a distrusting government in general. That has been the case,
you know, going back maybe for two decades. Yeah, and
it's something that the new administration will have to repair.
I mean, I think that's one of the responsibilities of
any new administration, but certainly for Donald Trump and his

(31:18):
team coming in repairing that relationship between the public and
the distrust they have for government.

Speaker 14 (31:24):
That's an important element of what he needs to do.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Great reporting all week, have a great rest of a weekend,
and I pray we talk again next week.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
