Speaker 2 (00:26):
Two three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this togable.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
This is your morning show with michael'dill charm.

Speaker 1 (00:42):

the class like Mary and Boise, Hey.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
This is Mary and Boise Idaho Hey with Kamala rolling
up her sleeves and throwing her hands up and then
putting her hands together and bowing. Do you think maybe
she's taking lessons for her next career as a yoga instructor.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Have a great day. I wish they'd hide her now
like they hit her early in the campaign. That was
just a creepy that audio creepy live on the air
I got. I'm professionally just creep me. I wasn't expecting
it to go that weird, especially this close to the holidays,
this time of year. By the way, we're counting down
our top ten Christmas stories and songs, and we're at
number seven on our list. It has been recognized over

(01:40):
the years that we've been doing this as everyone's favorite story.
So you want to stick around for that next half hour.
But this time of the year, obviously our attention turns
to the Christ Child, to our families and holidays, and
then to the end of the year, and that gets
us all in a mindset of year in review and
looking back, which is an important exercise because have you

(02:02):
ever been golfing and you can't find your ball and
then you look back and you find it immediately. Something
about looking back gives us. It's why I love Christmas
in America so much. Something about looking back is a
lot clearer. Unfortunately, we must live looking forward. So you'll
be hearing a lot of year in review type conversations
in my book, which I'm not plugging because I don't

(02:23):
think you can buy it, and if you do, you're
going to overpay for it on eBay anyway. But I
talked about three simultaneous wars. There's a cultural war, an
abandonment of God, his way, his truth and life for
a theory of moral relativism. There is an economic war
where we're giving up capitalism for socialism. And then there

(02:45):
are any given military wars at any given period of time.
There's even a kingdom versus kingdom war that's been ongoing.
And in the book, the thesis is the outcome of
the cultural war will be the defining role in the
outcome of the economic and military this abandonment of truth.
So I thought it would be interesting to do we
did a year in review for foreign policy and military

(03:07):
what about surveying the cultural war battlefield? In twenty twenty four,
and who better to do that with than our senior
contributor Dave Sannai from the American Policy Roundtable. As we
walk through the cultural landscape in twenty twenty four, David,
I thought the most interesting way to start might be
the things that we expected, and I know exactly what

(03:28):
they are. And then, of course, what life's really about
being prepared and responding, not unprepared and reacting to the unexpected.
What did we expect that didn't happen? In twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Such good questions, Michael, Such good content as well. The
challenge that we have when you try to look back.
I am finding, by the way a lot more often
now that when I play go off with you, if
I've got a lost ball, I need to look way back.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
That's about the only thing I do well is drive,
so you.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Still hit it a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I've only won once in fifteen years, and I fear
doing it again because you were so mean to me
afterwards the next round. Wow did he pound me? But no,
you do see things clearly looking back that you don't
see when you're living looking forward.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
You know, although here's the thing, it's fine for you
to win. I don't even keep score if I can
avoid it. It's just you can't go on the air
until the whole world and then not expect me to
come back out the next round and try to avenge myself.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why why wouldn't you be just happy that I had
a moment.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm thrilled for you.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I know you weren't and you took it out. I
remember the rapper, Oh that is the great happen years
before that, the metaphors, Now.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
That was real.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
He waits till I'm doing a crucial shout and then
he starts with his protein bar wrapper, slowly crinkling it. No,
but getting back to the story. So what didn't happen
in twenty twenty four that perhaps we were expecting in
the cultural wars?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
So let's talk about twenty twenty four in context. It's
hard in America when we put ourselves through a presidential election,
which but for the most part, is a binary choice
at the top of the political food chain among two individuals,
and in this case, no one in the country had
the opportunity to vote on one of them becoming a candidate.

(05:20):
So you can't get a more exclusive, i would even
say pejorative analysis of the American mindset than to throw
it into a funnel that small, but we do it
every four years, and then we try to decide what
does it tell us about our country? You're asking the
right question, because there's stuff that never even got into

(05:41):
the funnel that really defines us more than who our
president is. Like, one question that we have that was
left completely off the table of the entire conversation in
the whole election process was the question of capacity. Now
that's a fancy way of starting a bigger funnel. What
do I mean by capacity? I mean time. You know,

(06:04):
people in America are so busy that they have almost
no time to think, almost no time to think. You say, well,
wait a second, why is that? Well, a lot of
it's distraction, cultural distraction, dangerous cultural distraction.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
The phone in our hand.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It happens at every socioeconomic level as well. But no
matter where you are, if you go knock it on
somebody's door and the answer, chances are very good they've
got a phone in their hand. To quote Van Jones,
they've got a phone in their hand at any level,
whatever door you knock on.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
So that's one thing for sure.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
But there's another thing that never made it into this conversation,
and that's the fact that to survive, Americans have to
work more than one job per household. It's no longer
the exception to the rule. It's no longer the way
you crawl from one economic stratugy to the next.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And it's not to get not keep up with the
jones or getting dream card dreams. Survive.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Both provide and the single biggest reason that that exists
that was never discussed, this massive cultural indicator in this
entire election process is government.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Taxation. Government.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
The government takes too much from everyone every morning when
they wake up, and in essence, we are the slaves
of our state and federal governments.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
And if we were never intended to have a king,
let alone be slaves to a king that never should
have existed. But that's what we've created for ourselves, and
we've created it.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
There's two kinds of enslavement.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
There's the underclass enslavement, where people are not paying federal
taxes but are recruiting so many federal benefits that they
can't get a job to match what the government's giving them.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's bondage for those that are following the bouncing ball.
If the issue is capacity intent and an unfound reality. Uh,
and I think there was a sense of it that
led to a backlash and a slap that created Donald Trump.
There isn't still a true understanding that would return us

(08:10):
to our original intent, right and free people inspired by
the Declaration of Independence, guided by the Constitution, in submission
to God, self governing, and a limited government doing the
necessary things it must do for the collective that hasn't
even become close to being.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
There are two words that sell across every socioeconomic strata
in America, in every state. Those two words are self government.
People would rather do what they want to do as
opposed to being told what to do. It's innate, it
is in our nature, and it is in the nature
of the founding of our country. The problem is, every
time the government grows, it chips away at that fundamental

(08:50):
reality of self government because we have somebody else to pay.
People actually don't realize that the idea of tithing is
an Old Testament and New Testament proposal is something our
federal government.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Does very well.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Our federal government and our state governments take the first
dollar of everyone's paycheck. People who think that they're tithing
their first fruits to God. No, those are second fruits.
Our government takes what it's going to take first, and
we've gotten so used to it that we don't realize
that we're underwater.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Nothing will change your life more than studying the history
of taxation. It's a great book by William Federer on
the history of taxation. It's a short read, but I
encourage you to do it. It was a temporary one percent
tax that went away after war twice, then it's day.
Then it grew, and now it's getting almost as much
as you, and you've become a slave. Let's do the
reverse that. We expected abortion to come front and center,
which brings up the issue of life, brings up God,

(09:43):
sacredness of God, creation and his image, and are we
a culture of life or death? We expected that, we
got that. It didn't win an election for the Democrats.
Any surprises on the life.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Issue, Yeah, very much so.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I was talking to a lawyer yesterday that who's been
around this issue for a long time, and he said
he realized that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
He was reading right off of our script. I just
it came up in the subject.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
He said, I realized halfway into the selection that my
information was fifty years old, that I did not know
what the current reality of abortion is in America.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
You had a booklet you could hand him.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, we got to talk because what we discovered coming
off of the Dobbs decision is that the entire conversation,
both in academia and in the media and on the street,
was built on data that goes back to nineteen seventy three,
that's fifty years old, and that almost no one understands
what the abortion industry has done, very adeptly and with

(10:45):
extraordinary profitability, what they've done to our country in the
last fifteen years and fifty years, and the force that
they now represent. So we put together a book called
Abortion in America, based on nothing but facts that we
took from the abortion industry. There's no pro life sits
in the book whatsoever. It's a very brief read, but
it's information on where we are today on the ground now.

(11:06):
Once people get the facts, once the facts catch up
with people, their opinions change dramatically about this entire subject.
But in this year of election, the title wave that
was created by the media generation of fear and envy
coming off the Dobbs decision basically finally reached the shore

(11:27):
and ran out of steam. The facts were catching up
with the reality, and so abortion, while it was feared
is going to be the single greatest issue that was
out there, didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Twenty twenty four in the cultural war landscape with David Sinnati,
fear was a big loser because the Democrats played fear
of Donald Trump, the boogeyman, the tyrant, the dictator who
wouldn't leave, the rapist that failed. They played the fear
of abortion with women that failed. They chose to gaslight
and ignore the border, the cost of groceries and fuel.

(12:00):
They went all in on women and abortion, and even
the women didn't come through. And the ignoring of the
border with Hispanic votes of the black votes turned out
to be another big loser I think is the media.
But it didn't really lose anything. It was an insanely
held perception that met reality, and that is newspapers have

(12:21):
long gone. That'd be what yesterday's news today from somebody
with a different worldview that thinks they can shove it
down your throat in the name of monopoly or this
perception or you talk about capacity. Because we're in news
talk and because we watch Fox or CNN or MSNBC.
We think everybody. Most people aren't paying attention to this

(12:41):
stuff till weeks before the election, But there was the
perception of mainstream legacy media. I was calling it dead.
They realized they were dead, and digital and podcasting was king.
Donald Trump was there. The Democrats weren't the hiding Joe
that worked in twenty twenty, the early voting and mail
in voting that worked in twenty twenty. None of that

(13:03):
worked in twenty twenty four. But we head into the
twenty twenty five season with Donald Trump as king still
not Christ is king, which is necessary for self governing
and a nation under God indivisible. So how much progress
wasn't made in twenty twenty four? If we're not careful,
We'll continue with David Sanati when we come back.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Deltrono.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
By Michael David Snatti, our senior contributor from Your Morning
from the American Policy Roundtables. Here with us, we're looking
at the cultural landscape in twenty twenty four. I would
say that the old tools of distracting and controlling Americans
by controlling narratives came to an end, people weren't watching ABC, NBCCBSCNN, MSNBC,

(13:53):
or even Fox for that matter. In fact, very few were.
People had moved on to digital and moved on to podcasting,
which kind of brings me back to my pretty You
hate when I make predictions, but I said one or
both parties would be gone by the end of decade
and that the talk landscape would be greatly changed over
the next decade. That leads me to my first question.
America seems to have a king and the king is Trump?

(14:14):
Still not the right king and still a king shows
me there's progress to be made, but they're not trusting government.
There's not the power to create a narrative and silence
voices any longer because of Twitter now x and Elon
Musk and the movement from cable television and network television
to digital. These are all really big shifts that became
realities in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Very much so, Michael, and the media is still recovering,
are still reeling, I should say, in the midst of it.
I think that the cherry on top is the Stephanopulis
Disney situation. I mean, that's just when you listen to
that interview, You realize the belligerents with which he proceeded
because they've been getting away with it because they exactly

(14:56):
the stomping his feet, so to speak, impounding on the
table when he didn't have the facts right. And now
he's in the situation where his employer is dropping sixteen
million dollars into the Trump Library Fund and paying a
million dollars for legal fees because Stephanopolis wasn't dealing truthfully.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Now, so that's the cherry on top. So journalism's dad.
Trust in government is dad. Where do we go in
twenty twenty five?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, I think the landscape now is back to the wilderness.
I mean it will be the wild wild West for
a while. Will be people trying to find new sources
of credibility that they can trust and why should they
or should they not trust them?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
You know?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
The the A weird word, the amalgamation of players who
came at the end of the election from all over
the place with media profiles and platforms to speak out
on this.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Was now broken. Elon Musk rfk jun your telsa moment
in history. Sixty percent of America's behind Donald Trump and
his agenda heading into the second, it.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Leads to something.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Now, I want to be careful because I'm studying the
same number you are, and one thing that I can't
walk past. Even though it's very tempting to say the
whole world is in one box, it's not. People are
still getting their information from multiple sources, and that goes
back to the capacity question of how much time they have.
But they're still getting a lot of their news sources
forty six percent of their new sources from radio. That's

(16:19):
because they're running around so much that they've got to
connect to something.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Cultural shift gone too far, gotten too politically correct, it's
now correcting itself. Trust in government, trust in media at
an all time low, going to alternative sources, maybe to
a King Trump. We still got work to do in
twenty twenty five. As the bottom line, Yeah, I would.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Say you've got a pretty good platform to go forward
and continue this conversation.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
And whatever it is, we'll go through it together. Thank you,
David for this journey of discovery. This is Paul David
Patterson down in Toledo District Believes, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael Bell.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Join them.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Hi, it's me Michael, your Morning Show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety Dallas,
Fort Wirt, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every day.
Make us a part of your morning routine. Better late
than ever, enjoy the podcast. A couple of quick programming

(17:21):
notes on Christmas Eve morning and on Christmas Day morning,
a very special broadcast of Christmas in America. David Zanati
and his team at the American Policy Roundtable, with some
of the best musicians and some of the greatest singers,
put together a presentation. The goal and the narrative journey

(17:42):
is to find the Manger in any given year. This
year was nineteen seventy three. We're going to feature it
on Christmas Morning. Last year was nineteen twenty eight. We're
going to feature that on Christmas Eve morning. You will
not want to missip. Another thing I started doing many
many years ago, were my top ten Christmas stories and songs.
His songs can take us back in time instantly, right

(18:04):
to a very specific place, at a very specific time.
You can almost feel and smell and touch things of
all the stories to tell and all the songs I feature,
this one usually ends up being everyone's favorite. Remember number
ten in the list was Johnny Mathis We need a
Little Christmas Ode to Christmas Decorating. Number nine was The

(18:25):
Beach Boys. God only knows our old to Christmas movies
from the movie Love Actually and Kenny Loggins would celebrate
me Home was our ode to Christmas Travelers. Now we're
at number seven on our list. And when I originally
started telling the story, not a lot of people knew
what Newman High School was. Of course, that's all changed
over the years thanks to Peyton eli Arch and Cooper

(18:46):
the Mannings. Now everybody knows about Newman High School. But
in the seventies we called them Newman Nerds. At Keew Academy,
we got to play Newman High School in the jamboree
every year. Now that was a good thing, not because
it was the Newman Nerds and the rich uptown kids,
but because we got to play in Tulane Stadium, where

(19:08):
the Saints used to play, where a Super Bowl was
held astro turf. That made it special. About that same time,
my dad had become friends with the district attorney, a
name No. One used to know either his predecessor. He
even made a movie about everybody knew. Kevin Costner played
him in JFK. Jim Garrison the first to ever try

(19:31):
a case in the JFK assassination, but his successor. Nobody
knew who he was. Well, because Dad met the DA
interviewing him and they became friends as couples and would
go to dinner. Mom became much closer friends with the
DA's wife, and she was actually a very esteemed judge
in New Orleans, Missanita. One day, Mom made me go

(19:54):
on a visit to see Missanita with her. After arriving,
he realized her son is a new mird. But wait,
it gets even worse. Apparently he plays the piano. Now,
you know, every mother thinks their kid is way more
talented than they actually are. Have you ever been in
one of those awkward moments where someone's kid performs and

(20:16):
it's just terrible. So Missuneeda at one point is talking
to my mom and my mom goes, oh, Michael, you
got to hear her son play. Now I'm in a
New Mi NERD's house and they're wanting him to play
the piano for me. It just got really bad. Suddenly,

(20:38):
Missanita screams, he.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Let me get down here and play for missus.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Jonny and Michael. Yeah, that's the New Orleans accent, even
for a esteemed judge. And I don't know how to
describe it other than coming down the stairs with the
half eaten snickers? Is this kid? I mean I had
add but not like this, And I guess it was offsetting.

(21:05):
Was he wasn't saying no, oh mom, I don't want no.
None of that. Came down confidently, like it happens all
the time. Hammy, come down here and play from the
Jowny and Michael Boom comes down the stairs, puts the
half eaten snickers on the piano and then starts playing.

(21:29):
And wow, it wasn't like. It wasn't like a kid
playing the piano for her mom's friend and a teenage boy.
It was like I had one of those little tables
at the Copacabanon. I was in the front row. This
This was not just a talented musician. This wasn't just
an amazing voice beyond its ears. This was an entertainer.

(21:58):
I know you've heard a newman in high school now
thanks to the Peytons and you've heard of Dad's da friend,
you just don't know it. Missanita's husband, you see the
district attorney. Missanita's husband was Harry Connock Senior, and the

(22:18):
son a Harry Connock Senior. The newman nerd one of
our greatest living New Orleans treasures Harry Connick Jr. And
the reason I play this is I left New Orleans
when I was seventeen years old. I went back for
a couple of tents a year or two at a time,

(22:38):
but other than that, I've been gone. New Orleans has
amazing people, unique amazing people, from the Bayous to the River,
to Poydras, uptown to downtown what we call the CBD.

(23:02):
I've always missed New Orleans people living there, the roads,
the smells, not so much. The one thing they do
that is an absolute treasure. It's Christmas. It's so unique,
the way it looks, the way it feels, and the

(23:25):
way it sounds. My ode to a No Lens Christmas
Harry Connick Junior. Number seven on our list of top
ten Christmas Stories and songs. Please come Home for Christmas.
If you were listening live, this is where the song
would play after such an emotional story. But we don't
have licensing for the podcast, but feel free to look

(23:45):
it up and listen to it online. Well, there you
have it. Harry Connick Junior number seven on our Your
Morning Show Top ten Christmas Stories and Songs list a
Christmas radio spectacular. Our ode to New Orleans Christmas. What
a talent guy, and may I add a great actor
the boot. Our ode to a Nolins Christmas.

reactions on the talk back line. Let's start with Roger
and Sacramento.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
I slept in a bit today, got up about five
thirty Pacific time and listening to maybe fifteen minutes to you,
I just want to say, sure, sounded like the Italian
Paul Harvey to me on that last story number seven,
you know, and I might be putting a hole in
your thing. Miss a little missed a lot. It's like

(25:23):
to me, it's like here a little get a lot.
Merry Christmas, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
That's sweet. Merry Christmas to you. Renee is listening to
WLAC in Nashville.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
Michael, this is Renee. Of all the stories you tell,
we love the CBN story with Pat Robinson, and we
love the Harry connic Junior went so happy I got
to hear you tell it this morning.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
What's the statute? I mean, how many can we do? All? Right?
Big John's I think this is three today or two?
Big John?

Speaker 8 (25:52):
Absolutely great story about Harry Connock Junior.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I saw him when he opened the Mirage in ninety four.
He was twenty four year is old. Phenomenal. Of course,
of course he heard of it. The Mirage I would
later bump into. I went, I was at the NAB
in Boston and Harry Connick, uh and Lyle Lovett were performing,
and I went to that concert and uh oh, Harry

(26:18):
Connock was just stunning, spectacular.

Speaker 8 (26:21):
All right.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
RFK Junior made his way to the Capitol. John Decker,
our White House correspondent, is joining us. We want to
see how he did in his meetings that we finally
all want to know what's going on with the drones,
and then they have a top secret meeting and we
can't find out. You know what a day.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
Where do you want to start, Michael, Yeah, let's start.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Let's start with RFK Junior. This is one you thought
might be tougher than some people think. How did it
go yesterday?

Speaker 9 (26:47):
Well, I think it's premature to.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Talk about whether or not it's going to be a good,
easy confirmation for Robert F.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
In fact, it's premature to talk about that for any
of the nominee. Is that you may have some trouble
like Pete Haig Seth and Tulsey Gabbert and certainly Robert F.
Kennedy Junior falls into that category as well. Reason being
is because beginning of the year January, that's when the
confirmation hearings, those public hearings will take place. And also

(27:17):
by that time the FBI background reports have been will
have been completed for all.

Speaker 9 (27:22):
Of these nominees.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
I think that's when we can talk about whether or
not they're likely to get confirmed or not.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
All right, so this is more positioning, but this mostly
with the Republican senators.

Speaker 9 (27:32):
Right, Oh, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
You know. In fact, by the end of this week,
RFK Junior will have met with about two dozen Republican
senators and.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
They have, you know, some questions for him.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
It's not going to be a slam dunk by any
stretch of the imagination. He's spoken about being skeptical about
vaccines over the course of his professional life, so there
are those that want to ask him about that. There
are those that want to ask him about his position
on abortion. He's described himself all of his professional life

(28:04):
as being pro choice, and you know, for a Republican
conservative senator who describes himselves as ardently pro life. That
could be problematic for Robert F. Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 9 (28:15):
So you know, I think those conversations are.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
Necessary that are happening this week on the Senate side
of the Capitol.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
So, I mean, I don't want to oversimplify it, but
for Republicans being pro choice could be a rub for
the Democrats being anti vax and things he said about
science in the past. That's going to be the rub.
That's pretty much what we knew going in. And this
is all very premature. What do they really accomplish with

(28:44):
these early meetings.

Speaker 9 (28:46):
Well, it's showing respect, it's paying a courtesy call. It's
reaching out to senators, even those.

Speaker 8 (28:53):
That are likely to support you, like Rick Scott. He's
going to support every nominee that Donald Trump's put forward.
But you know, it's showing effect and paying that courtesy
call to a senator they appreciate that. They'll go to
bat for them, you know at the confirmation hearings that
they sit on the relevant committees. So that's what it's
really all about. You know, it's a nicety that always and.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Give him kind of a bullseye of what to prepare
for as well. Yeah, that's blown up. All right, we
only have about twenty five seconds. So if this is
a classified meeting with members of Congress yesterday, are we
ever going to find out? Is that all we're going
to ever know is well, we're aware of the drones.
They mean you no harm. That's it. We're not gonna
get any details.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
Hey, Michael, I don't know if you know this, but
if you played a clip.

Speaker 8 (29:36):
Of Joe Biden talking about drones this morning, he was
responding to my question that I asked him last night.
So Joe Biden, the President finally weighed finally first time
weighing in on the drone sightings that we're seeing up
in New Jersey. He said nothing the fairious. That was
I think the big takeaway from the answer that he

(29:57):
gave me.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del Journo.
