Speaker 5 (01:34):
Good morning everyone new Beds Jamie Ollmen here privileged and
honored to be filling in for the great Michael Dell Journal.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
On this.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Christmas day as it will be until happy January, which
and Epiphany.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And this is gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
This is.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Allison Krass with yo yo. Ma's just the Wexford Carol.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
And it's a great way to wake up, huh.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Because we're we're in the season now. We're in the
season now, people, friend sleep and when you look at
it that way with saying.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
The day after Christmas isn't half bad, is it, right,
Because it's just the beginning. It's just the beginning and God.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And I know that people are going to start throwing
their throwing.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Their Christmas trees in the media, and I get all that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I never really understood that part of it, you know.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
And I think part of it is because I I
take so much time to decorate my house and in
my front lawn with my vintage plastic blow molds and
everything else that I always dreamed of having and now do.
Maybe that's why I'm so into all through epiphany, because
(03:18):
you know, to take all of it down right now
would be a chore.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So it's just no.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But seriously, it's it's a beautiful season and it's a
beautiful time to take it all in.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And what's crazy about it is that people, some of.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
You might even be back to work already, and it's
kind of like, wait a minute, what just happened there?
Yesterday was Christmas and then now I'm back.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
To where I started. I'm back to work again, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And so it's a lot of people just I prefer
to take the time off after Christmas as opposed to before,
because after Christmas is Christmas and before it is not
so and pretty cool too. Happy Honkah to all of
our Jewish friends out there as well, because it's the
first time in a long time that both Hankkah and
(04:13):
Christmas started.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
On the same day, the twenty fifth.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
So anyway, it's a beautiful time to be alive and
to take in this fabulous country of ours and to
enjoy life. And I remember Monday, I was on with
you and I was telling you about the way in
which the make America Great Again vibe and I'm talking
(04:40):
about pride in country and pride and culture is sweeping
the world.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
And it is from South America to the Argentina, which
has now become this common sense conservative enclave. And again,
when I talk about common sense conservatism, I'm not talking
about Republicans. I honestly believe that Donald Trump won the
(05:13):
twenty twenty four election largely without some of these Republicans,
without the Romney types. You know, they're just dinosaurs at
this point.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And he won this election. And I predicted it.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I knew that he was going to have to actually
win this election without Republicans, without the Nicki Haley types,
and I appreciate her. I remember taking my daughter to
the Iowa Caucuses, and I'll be taking her now to
the inauguration.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But Nicki Haley, it was great.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I mean, I'm glad that my daughter had a chance
to see her as a very accomplished woman and a
person who was really running her heart out. But in
the end, a lot of people just simply just didn't
think Trump was good enough for them. And the reality
is he was good enough for a lot of people,
(06:08):
the plurality of people who otherwise really might not have
ever really voted Republican before and even thought about voting Republican,
which is pretty incredible. So this attitude where it's okay
to love your country and to be nationalistic. Nationalism is
(06:30):
not a bad thing, and so to be protective of
your borders and to be protective of who.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I mean, we're spending money in the budget.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I don't want to distract myself too much here, but
and throw the tennis ball in the corner and run
and grab it. But the reality is you realize that
we're spending We're spending millions of dollars to support Paraguay's borders.
That's one of the things that Ran paullpoint out in
this Festivius really shit he made right before Christmas regarding
(07:06):
all the monetary waste.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
In our budget right now. But we're okay with.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Spending money to help Paraguay defend its borders, but won't
do our own border defense. It doesn't it doesn't make
any sense. But people are starting to learn, and we
have this beautiful thing happening, for instance, around the world.
So we have first of all, with with Argentina. Hungary
(07:34):
is an enclave over in Europe right now, that is
that is bullied by a sense of nationalism and pride
and common sense conservatism, which is really a good thing.
And that's not Republicanism. You'd be surprised. And the Democrats
are gonna have to realize that at some point, and
(07:56):
I hope the Republican Party does too.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Is your Morning Show with Michael Deltna.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You know, it's just a beautiful time.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I love this time of year, and I love this
time of the season, and I'm privileged to be with
you this morning filling in for Michael. And to my
point about the changing world that we live in, which
is really amazing. It's like common sense is sweeping the
(08:33):
world has already swept the nation, the United States of America,
but to sweeping the world, and we're seeing it all
over the place. As I mentioned Argentina. We saw it
a while back with the Prime Minister of Italy and Maloney,
who she gives speeches where she's quoting Chesterton, looking what
(08:57):
I mean, that's amazing, a wonderful, amazing writer and philosopher
and conservative.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And you're seeing it in Hungary and you.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Even even like the Sea Pack conferences, which are you know,
usually I've been to them time and time again, a
little bit of drudgery here there. It's a conservative political
action conferences, and I would not recommend going.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
They're really kind of a.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
But anyway, they have those now in Hungary, they have
them in Argentina now, and they we're seeing obviously the
seat change in Canada, and I've already told you about
with the Prime minister candidate actually talking about people who
can't afford groceries. Sound familiar to you, And so Canada
is gonna is on the verge, I mean, justin Trudeau
(09:46):
is on the way out, and you have the Mexican
president once Trump was elected, saying well okay, well yeah, sure,
we'll take the mass deportations whatever. And and so you're
you're seeing this change all over. The only exception might
be Asia. They're still running a little bit behind, but
(10:07):
but they're but they're there. And France and and and
you look at what happened with Macrone, and you know
then bringing back Notre Dame. And I'm telling you, I
was that skeptical when the fire happened several years ago,
and I was thinking, oh, I know it's gonna happen
in France now as a Notre Dame is gonna just
(10:28):
become kind of one big ecumenical like religious center where
you're gonna have like five different religions represented in order.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
No, they brought it back as a Catholic church. Pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
And Macrone's just salivating over Trump at the time when
he invited him there. And so there're people are changing,
you of course, that's that's not to mention the people
who were hitting the streets in Paris over the Green
Revolution here where it was it was destroying their economies,
(11:02):
especially the agricultural community in France. And now we have Germany.
So Germany has a problem. And Germany's problem is its
heritage is it's past, and nationalism in Germany is not
really looked upon as being something that people want to
(11:26):
talk about because the last time there was nationalism in
Germany there was like the Third Reich. Right, So Germans
every time you turn around, are apologizing for either the
Holocaust or whatever it is. It's it's it's a real
it's a real stain on their heritage. And I'm not
saying that it shouldn't be, but but they're just really
(11:50):
a little full of anxiety, even as far back as
that was. And so you you know, waving a German
flag and that's not really looked upon, is really a
good thing given their past. And so what's happened is
they sacrificed everything, so nobody goes to church there anymore.
(12:16):
Their their their faith based is evaporated. There are no borders,
so they just allow anybody in there. And then what
happens is they wind up having these festivals, and it's
always around Christmas time or the New Year or New
Year's Eve whatever. They people can't even swim in swimming
pools in Germany without being groped and attacked by North
(12:39):
African immigrants migrants, and so it's untenable what's going on there?
And then of course we had that situation where a
terrorist otherwise known as a car if you talk to
the AP, but a terrorist, remember that they were like
a car plowed into a bunch of people. No, a
(13:00):
car didn't, a terrorist did. And so this guy Saudi
Marabe even crazy, you know. And Germany's had enough of this,
and so now they have this party and the leader
is Alice Whydell or Whitel.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I know, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
A lot of the fact that her name is Alice,
because nobody names people Alice anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's like Mary, Betty Alice.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I mean, you need let's go back to the names
of the nineteen twenties, fantastic because it's old school.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
So Alice Widell is upset she could become the new
German chancellor. So she's kind of like, uh, the German
version of Maloney in Italy, very strong woman and very
much not like what's her name who is kind of
(13:55):
the German pantsuit version of Hillary Clinton over there, still
crabbing about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Those days are over. And so she's.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Giving these speeches and and she is not happy about
what is happening over there, and she's she's tired of it,
and she was actually in tears talking about what happened.
(14:25):
It's off mine, this Christmas ends and us and not
and I lunch and she says, you know, that's translated,
and she says, a country that punishes people for fishing
without a license but not for crossing its borders illegally
(14:48):
is a country governed by idiots.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And lordie, isn't that true?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Of course, the only problem with that is, you know,
the problem is every who's forcefulness speech unfortunately sounds like Hitler,
But that's just erase your erase your viewpoint or your
audio version of Hitler, and embrace these individuals who are
truly tired of what's happening to their people and their country.
(15:18):
It's sweeping the world and it's not republican, it's not democrat,
it might not even be conservative, but it's common sense
and that's what's happening. And that's the good news to
report to you this morning, this December twenty sixth, this
is your Morning show with Michael Del Giorno. I'm Jmi Allman.
Happy to be with you.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
This is your morning show with Michael deltona.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Panamanians don't care that much about the Panama Canal.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
There is no way. It's kind of like you guys
hitting the streets over some threat to the Golden gate Bridge.
It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
And this is where you really see And I wish
sometimes I'd be probably a lot happier if I wasn't
so skeptical. But sometimes you just have to see it
for what it is. And if I didn't know any better,
this would be the deep state State Department. And believe me,
(16:32):
these guys run amuck overseas in undermining President Trump and
his policies.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And half the time.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
These people burning flags and beautifully orchestrated signage that has
President Trump on it are all being basically funded by
the State Department. Now I wish I didn't think that,
and maybe you do too, And I'd love to have
your opinion about it, by the or on anything I
(17:02):
am talking about this morning. If you go to the
iHeartRadio app, there's a talkback feature on there and you
can punch that microphone and talk away. I'd love to
hear your opinion about what you're seeing out and about
there on this December twenty sixth, But honestly, and because
(17:22):
President Trump's trolling on the Panama Canal he did on
Christmas Day with that world famous tweet that also covered
Justin Trudeau in Greenland and the Panama Canal.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Call ye, this is fun, but nobody is that.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Just crazy about the Panama Canal and Panamanians certainly or not.
I have an actually South America and Central America. Really
you talk about changes around the world. I was at
a wedding in Bogata, Columbia, last May, and Mike, it
is gracious Columbia where normally you hear about bo Gatar
(18:04):
or Colombia, all you think about are armed drug dealers,
right or people you know, terrorists or fark or whatever
happens to be. That place is absolutely gorgeous Colombia. If
it weren't neighboring Venezuela would be paradise because because it
actually is upwards to Panama, Central America, all El Salvador
(18:27):
is now a place, a preferred place for people to surf.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
If you can believe that.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm old enough to remember when El Salvador was a
place like you wouldn't go near the place. All you
thought about was, you know, tropical jungles and hostages and murder,
you know, and now people go there to surf.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's like, you know, destination city. But so people are.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Happy and so happy around the world are getting happier
as they take more control over their destiny. And I
will tell you, Panama, these people or there's no no
such thing.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
As an angry Panamanian.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I'm sorry to tell you, they don't care that much
about the Panama Canal and most of us don't even
really understand it. And when President Trump talks about it,
all we know what the Panama Canal is. We just
kind of like don't really know a whole lot about it.
And I think sometimes it's fun just to kind of say,
I don't know, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I don't know what that is. You know. It's kind
of like when you know, I talk to somebody.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Today and it's like, what is thunder and it's like,
I don't know what thunder is.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I think I could probably google it or do whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
But I just remember when I was a kid and
I asked what thunder was and my mom told me
it's angels bowling. I'm like, oh, well, that's that sounds
great actually, And for a long time as a child.
Of course, I was thinking, well, that's a great image
of angels bowling, and actually I would actually like to
see that. I would love to I like a picture
(20:01):
of angels bowling. And then, you know rain. I don't
know what causes rain, you know, but everybody tries to.
It's kind of like when you ask directions, like when
people don't know. When when somebody asks you, hey, do
you know where bubh blahlah is? How often do you
say I don't know, No, you don't. What you do
is you sit there and go, well, you know, I
(20:22):
think it's right over there, and then I think if
you go over that way and then take a left,
like you just make it up until of course the
person asking you for directions picks up the fact that
you have no idea where it is, and they just
give up and drive away or walk away whatever. But
(20:42):
you're normally you're just like, well, I don't know, I
don't know where that is. You know, you want to
be helpful, but sometimes you just don't know. It's like,
you know, kid asked me, you know, it's uh, what
is rain? It's like it's God crying, probably because of
something you did.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I don't know. I don't, but I'm just saying we
don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
So sometimes it's okay, Like say, I don't know anything
about the Panama Canal, and I know that Roosevelt was
part of it and we built it, and I probably
should and I want to be like unpatriotic not knowing
what it is. It's the whole thing, matter much a
matter you lack America, Like, no, I don't even don't.
I just don't know. And then Greenland, I don't know
(21:23):
where that is. I should know probably you know, I've
been in radio for forty five years, Almen, you don't
know where Greenland is? Like, I don't know where it is,
And I'll have to look on the globe at my
house when I get home.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I'll check it out. I know it's up there someplace.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
It's above over there and probably to the left of
Nova Scotia.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
So sometimes it's okay just not to know. So and
I really don't sometimes understand what you know. Trump is
amazing because sometimes he'll bring stuff up. It's like, wow, yeah, Greenland.
I didn't know that it was a national security treasure
(22:07):
for the United States of America. I had no idea,
and he starts to make you think not only about
your country, Like even when it's like Mount McKinley, Like
I didn't know Obama renamed Mount McKinley.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
How did he do that?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It's been named Mount McKinley since the post William McKinley assassination.
I didn't know Obama swooped in and I've called it
Denali now like I didn't know that. It just like
slipped right by me. That's one of Trump's treasure graces
is he kind of opens our eyes to things that
otherwise we either take for granted or sometimes don't know about.
(22:46):
Or sometimes he'll think about people that parties we supported
haven't thought about before, including like, for instance, union guys.
I've always wondered why Conservatives or Republicans are always so
reflexively anti union.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I'm trying to figure that. I was trying to figure out.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I understand the public employee union part of it, right
because at the public union public employee union, and I
and Wisconsin Governor Walker destroyed them in Wisconsin, which is
great because there's nobody at the table, like the taxpayer
isn't at the table. So I get that whole public
employee union thing. But the labor unions I never understood why.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And I get it some of them, you know, fat contracts,
U A W.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
They destroyed this but it but there are always relationships
that are two sided. And so President Trump comes along
and starts to talk about labor unions and working with
labor unions and that kind of thing and the working
the middle class, the working man, those kinds of things.
(23:50):
And it's it's a way Republicans haven't spoken before. We've
all been told them unions are terrible. It's like, no,
they're not. And so I'm glad to see opens our
eyes and you know what the teamster sawt man. Wait,
do you hear what the teamsters are saying about their
relationship with Kamala Harris. That's all coming up here. This
(24:10):
is your Morning show with Michael dell journo. I'm Jamie Allman.
Happy to be with you on this day after Christmas.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltna.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Let me tell you something. Political parties have a problem.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
And political parties, I don't care whether it's Democrat or Republican.
They either take people for granted, certain types of people
for granted, or they ignore certain types of people because
there's something to the whole uniparty problem, and that is
they're really focused a lot on self preservation at all costs,
(25:00):
and so sometimes they don't even realize that certain people
are reaching out to them or need them or what
have you. Which was really I think the charm and
of course the talent of a Donald Trump and his
advisors and how they started to reach out to people
(25:21):
who otherwise were ignored or take it for granted or
what have you. Some people who hadn't even voted in
ten years checked out of the system what have you.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
And just run down and not being spoken to.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
And really, honestly, what's crazy is whether you're a Democrat
or Republican, you really could survive a long time if
you just simply focused on the donor classes, focused on
the operatives, focused on people who basically would feather your
(26:00):
nest with campaign donations.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Whenever. You could survive a long time that way.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Without ever really actually having a town hall or talking
to anybody. Once you get elected and you surround yourself
by all the people who are getting the checks to
you and doing all that kind of things, sometimes you
never have to talk to anybody and so. But but
in order to get elected, though, especially in this environment,
(26:25):
you have to be able to speak to people. You
have to be able to talk to people, even people
who you otherwise think are going to vote for you.
Having the bag anyway. And that's the one thing that
I think President Trump really, among many had going for
him is he never was lazy. I mean you have
to you have to understand that, even back in the day.
(26:47):
You know, in twenty sixteen, he had to basically change
the electoral college map because you know, essentially you'd go
into an election before twenty sixteen and a Democrat automatically
add two hundred.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And forty five electoral votes.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
That's that's how it all worked out, just because of
the mapping everything else.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And President Trump's task was to have to change that.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
So instead of going to Philly, he go to Altuna
or Bethlamb, of course the world famous Bethlamb now but
he but he would go to places where otherwise you
wouldn't really necessarily think a Republican would go. And in
the latest election went to the Bronx and he and
(27:30):
he talked nicely about unions, and I don't mean nicely
about unions as in sucking up to them. He talked
about them as a real important part of our world,
and they are. And by the way, there are a
lot of people who are members of unions who are
(27:51):
common sense people. Maybe not Republican, but they're common sense
and a lot of them voted Democrat before all this.
What have you to the point where Democrats thought that
they owned the union vote? Well, of course, we're the
party of the working man. Until the working man was like,
and how was that again? Because I know, for one thing,
(28:12):
you're closing down a bunch of plants, manufacturing plants for
a variety of reasons, because you're shipping jobs overseas, or
even cars are going away. We noticed, we saw what
happened when the green revolution came around. The electric car
phenomenon came around where nobody was buying them, and suddenly
(28:37):
they were closing down all kinds of operations would have
you car dealerships and those because they weren't selling them.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
People were losing their jobs everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
So President Drove's recognition of the importance of unions as
part of the economic engine in this country was a
really big deal, and he managed to steal the union support.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And Sean O'Brien is a.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Teamster's president, and actually I think I remember seeing him
at some kind of hearing and Republicans like beating up
on him for some reason, I guess because they thought, well,
he's a union guy, so I'm gonna sit here and
look like I'm a hero and beat up on the
Teamsters guy. And Charn O'Brien is a pretty rough and
(29:27):
tumble guy.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
He's a Teamsters guy.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
And Teamsters people are working class Americans, and they're driving,
and they're doing all kinds of things, and they're an
important part of the economic engine here and so to
ignore them is bad, and to take them for granted
(29:51):
is really bad, and especially when the entirety of the
American canvas is completely blank going into the twenty twenty
four election. So Searant O'Brian's on with Tucker Carlson and
and you know, thank you Red for finding a clean verse.
(30:11):
That's the one thing I don't understand is why everybody,
when they're podcasting and to whatever, they have.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
To cuss all the time. I don't know understand that.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
But anyway, we found a clean part, and this is
Sean O'Brien, Tucker about about how ultimately what happened with
Kamala Harris and how she wound up in basically taking
these guys for granted. And he points out, he's like,
(30:40):
you know, we sat there and we did this and
and basically she just totally ignored us.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
And it was really.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
In many way ways miserable, and they told us, well,
you better support us or or we're not going to
uh be there for you. He's really very very upset
about Biden.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
In there, and you know, you could just clearly tell
