B team other radios to notice who provides the ad
team for the new year. Your Morning Show. The gang
(01:13):
is all, but the band is back together for you
On this Thursday, January second, twenty twenty five, The FBI
says it believes the suspect who drove through a crowded
Bourbon Street in New Orleans was not acting alone. The
security barriers that would have protected the crowds on Bourbon
Street had been removed before Wednesday's attack. Sugar Bowl was postponed.
It'll kick off today, three Central, four Eastern, Notre Dame,
(01:36):
and Georgia, the final piece to the top four puzzle
that ends up being in the end. Well about the
rankings prior to all of this, this playoff nonsense, by
the way, I'd like to start with something. If I
could pick a little bone, may I? I've got at
So David's not He's real big on you don't make predictions.
And I said, I'm going with Donald Trump three hundred
(01:59):
and twelve electric oral college boats. It ends up Donald
Trump three hundred and twelve electoral College boats. But David,
of course doesn't believe in get making such predictions. And
then we're at dinner the night before the game and
David turns to me and goes, I think, Ohio State's
going to punch him in the face. I think they're
(02:20):
gonna win, and then they'll score over forty points and
the final score was forty one twenty. So when it
comes to sports, you'll make a prediction. Yeah, but I'm not.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
I'm not even an Ohio State fan, and I made
the prediction.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I don't know why. I just had a feeling. How
do you grow up outside of Cleveland and not be
an Ohio State fan?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You be an Italian who came from Pittsburgh, oh Notre
Dame and it rooted for another Dame.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's just that simple. G T four Notre Dame. Wake
up the Gohs calling her name. I can't stop. Send Dobbari,
cheer on high, shit down the thunder from the sky. Well,
they got a quarterback tonight and Georgia doesn't maybe any
prediction on that game.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
All I know is your year or two into this
wonderful new project called Your Morning Show, and we're here
and we're working with all the people who are working today.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Finally we're done with all this cloud.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Of perpetual celebration and we're talking about football.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, why not get fired? In some places it.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
Did Hey, wait a minute, you just broke a commandment there,
young man. We have a personal foul personal fifteen yards
breaking up a former employee that breaks the command Can
we welcome our number fifty, which was my brother's football
number in high school.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Our number fifty affiliate is nine ten am the superstation
WFDF in Detroit, Michigan. Yes, we got here just in
time for the Lions march to a super Bowl and
the Pistons won last night.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Welcome grounded Alabama, which is not an easy thing to
walk through a Tennessee neighborhood talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Hey, how about the Wolverines. They finished strong, they beat
Ohio State, then they win their bowl game against Alabama.
It's not too shuit. Look at where Harball's at right now.
So full circle for me. I was born in Flint, Michigan,
Saint Joseph's Hospital just down the road and number fifty Detroit,
nine ten am superstation. Welcome aboard. You can always email
me Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com and you can
(04:19):
use that talkback button on your iHeartRadio apps. You can
ask a question, make a comment without waiting on hold.
Can't have your morning show without your voice and Welcome
to your morning show, Detroit, Michigan. All right, this is
another voice you're going to hear a lot. David Sinati
is our senior contributor here at your morning show, and
we thought today would be a good day to kind
of look back at twenty twenty four and look ahead
(04:40):
at twenty twenty five. I don't know if you've heard
the audio on our Sounds of the Day, but a
CBS reporter coming forward that the most underreported story of
twenty twenty four was the cognitive declinent of Joe Biden.
This is a guy they hit in the basement in
one in twenty twenty And if your first notion that
this guy was cognitively impaired was that debate, you aren't
paying very good attention and the media hasn't been honest
(05:02):
all along.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Yeah, that's truly the biggest story. But it goes back
to COVID. Michael, it goes back to COVID. We I'm sorry,
I've got to start with it as well. Uh, there's
another radio company in America that is just settling lawsuits
at this day for firing people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding? That's another commandment broken?
Same commandment, fifteen yards, same face mask. What is happening
to you? I'm losing to Toby. I'm out, I'm out
of targeting. Now we're going to do that one for targeting,
targeting without a doubt.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Here's a big radio company that fired people because they
wouldn't take the vaccine. Now they're having to settle lawsuits
because they broke those people's rights.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And it's buried. It's buried.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
It started in COVID because we were lied to during COVID,
and the American media across the board played along some
people so systematically that you have to believe they were
in on some cabal and so not. From that, we
moved to Biden, and we were lied to for four
years with Biden. The biggest story of last year is this.
(06:07):
People said, I'm done being lied to. You got me twice, well,
not going to get me a third time?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Can I say it this way? And I coined the
original phrase, Wait a minute.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
I think I just broke a commandment and bragged on
well Son, you gotta be that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I said, I picked the exactly look total college number
for crying out loud. Hey Jack, how are you? Another
year around the sun? My friend by Jack Kennedy statue anyway,
make a long story short. I coined the phrase death
of journalism. It was dead, never mind biased, it was dead,
blatant for all to see. That happened in twenty twenty.
(06:42):
That happened really in twenty sixteen with Hillary Clinton, and
it all also happened during COVID. What we saw in
twenty twenty four was the decomposition of the death of journalism,
where America just moved on to digital, to podcasting. They
I think they finally in twenty twenty four realized they
were dead with the reelection of Donald Trump. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
And and now it's going to be interesting to see
how it all shakes out.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
This is fascinating.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
We are in a brave new world, and I mean
that in a pioneering sense as to where people will go.
Some people have thought that it was a technological shift,
and that's all it was. But it's treated by trust,
it's needed by trust. And this is not so that
I can redeem myself on the Commandment list. This is
not a perpetual story here of we told you so
(07:28):
or I told you so.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Now.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
No, if anything, the American people once again are far
ahead of the curve, far ahead of the curve. They're
just tired of we together, we are tired of being
lied to?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Isn't that? But isn't that the lesson everybody? Isn't that
the lesson though of twenty twenty four? And that they
underestimated again the intelligence of the American people.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
And the tolerance of the American It's it's funny because
our good friend.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Doctor William Eying.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
But William Allen has been in the public policy world
for his entire life, and he is that people continually
underestimate the goodness and the kindness and the good intentions
of the American general electorate. People want to do the
right thing and get on with their lives, and they
don't want to see people suffer, and they don't want
to suffer. They want to do the best they can,
(08:17):
and they want to be able to trust people who
are in authority.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And you can fool them once, but don't try to
fool him twice. So they get the betrayal, But do
they get the solution? Have they connected that DoD yet?
Let me give you an example. I have a great
church and a great pastor. When I say I'm a
great pastor, not that I worship him. This guy is
(08:41):
so dead and you can't fake dead. Even his little thoughts.
You can tell of the kind of thoughts you come
away with from ours being in the presence of God.
He's just the best, all right. So we get there
for service Sunday and he's not preaching. Your flesh goes.
(09:03):
We could have slept in and then your spirit's like,
are you kidding me? Do you worship me? Or this pastor?
So I shut up a filling did a terrific job.
But he's our missions pastor What a text he had
in Revelations one twenty two. I mean I David of
course doesn't like to talk about this, but he has
(09:25):
as many degrees as I have wisecracks, and a lot
of them are in Bible. And so from a theological standpoint,
this is a tough text. You have to talk to
human beings on earth about the past, present and future
nature and state of God as you're in a present state,
all right. So that's hard to get your arms around,
(09:47):
just like the Trinity can be hard to get your
arms around. And then the Exege, which is, okay, what
do we do with this? It is finished? Yet he's
building a new heaven. Yet it's finished already and he's
making it. How can he be making it and it's
finished and it's to be for us all at the
same time. That's a tough text, you'll agree, sure. And
(10:09):
then what's the exeget? Now? What do we do with this?
Do we just sit and wait to die so that
we can be resurrected in Christ and enjoy this new
heaven where we'll cry no more, we'll die no more?
What do we do? And the answer is what we
will do for eternity? Be busy about his business. Now
in the text, he brings up do you know where
(10:32):
hospitals were started? Do you know where universities were started?
Do you know how schooling was started? Do you know
how insurance started? Insurance started? If the body of Christ
was busy about its father's business as it was in
previous generations, the government wouldn't be taking care of our
(10:52):
old and sick we would be The government wouldn't be
taking care of the mentally ill or the infants that
are abandoned. We would be See. I don't think America
has connected these dots yet. We know who's betrayed us.
We know it's not working, but we don't know when
we turned our back on a way of truth in
a life that once worked for all way better than
(11:14):
government can. And government is not worthy of worship. And
the God has been exposed as false.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Two great questions, because not only have we forgotten those lessons,
but we have somehow empowered an entire political universe to
believe that when government inserts itself seizing other people's money
for charitable purposes directed by politicians, that is the height
of morality. That's how Joe Biden sees the world. That's
(11:40):
how he sees it as a soul.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
He sees it as a soul, a redeemable and an
i redeem or irredeemable side soul of what the human
experience of faith is from the Judeo Christian tradition, it
is us walking in the image of the Creator, loving
our neighbor as we love ourselves because of Him, not
the government doing it for us. We see the failure.
I don't think we have the glimpse of the victory,
(12:04):
but it could be coming. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chourno.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
ear and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app by Michael
del Journal A quick little visit here with your Morning
Show senior contributor Dave Sanati and David, I mean, you know, obviously,
if I had to put it all in a nutshell,
they tried to tie up Donald Trump in court. They
even got him convicted on some felony charges. It didn't
stop him from winning the nomination. Uniting his party first,
(12:34):
Joe Biden says bye bye to the race, and America
says bye bye to Mama La Kamala and hello again,
Hello did Donald Trump? I mean, that's that along with
the high cost of living, the very little relief and
interest rate reductions, inflation, war broadening in the Middle East
as well as continuing in Ukraine, and the divisions at
(12:55):
home widening leading up to the election, and then a
weird spirit in the final month of everybody just uniting
behind Donald Trump. There wasn't the big sorrow and rebellion
that we thought there would be from the left. They
even seemingly half of them seem excited about Donald Trump.
It's as if they can't admit it, but they know
their policies had consequences, and they failed. Where does this
(13:19):
leave us heading into twenty twenty five? What are you
looking at? I mean, what security becomes top of mind?
After New Orleans, after Las Vegas, and we still have
a national championship and an inauguration a day on the
same day. But I mean, what do you see ahead
for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Well, it's often been said that the reason there are
so many arguments in the world is because of differing
expectations and what kind of expectations that of people bring
forward into this new year from the Trump administration? And
is are those expectations even close to reality? Because now
tomorrow Congress goes back to work. The planes are in
the air, they're coming back. They will all be there
(13:57):
with their families and all their celebrations and staking out
their ground and their territory, and then they will certify
the election, and then it will begin where Congress will
try to get the drop on the president and the
fight between the two entities of government will go on.
And John Roberts has already dropped his gauntlet, basically telling
everybody in advance, I'm not going to be pushed around
(14:19):
by this new administration. Thanks a lot, John Way to
not make yourself a politician on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
He goes first.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
So we're going to see a collision of realities and
it's going to make for fascinating observation and it's going
to make a lot of falling down. Bottom line, the
prediction for this year is a lot of falling down.
The only question is going to be are we're falling
down in the right direction?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah? Falling forward? Are you ruling out any shenanigans with
the certification?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
That's all that Biden can't let that. They can't let
that happen. They've already got their resistance moves already employed.
They're not going to get caught up in their own
nightmare fantasy on January.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
They'll go beyond that. With a minute and a half
to go. I do see twenty twenty five being a
very vulnerable year for terror. But the quicker the Trump
team can get in place and secure the border and
secure law enforcement and get intelligence flowing to all agencies,
the better. It may not be soon enough. Let's hope
it is a lot of collot would such those boundary
sarch no doubt? Yeah, I can see that coming. What
(15:22):
about in one minute? Reasonable expectations for what Donald Trump
can accomplish in a second one hundred days and in
a second term. That's good.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Get a budget, get secure the tax cuts. We'll keep
it that small. Get a budget, secure the tax cuts.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And then we see what happens from there, all right,
and then's the energy and energy drill, baby drill. All right, David,
appreciate it, great review, great preview, looking forward to whatever happens,
going through it together and having your insights. Thank you
so much, and thank you for Christmas in America for
two days while we were gone.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Hey, this is top Cop Kathy Hinters. My morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Joorno.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Now. Enjoy the podcast yesterday in New Orleans Proof Sometimes
even that only lasts a few hours. Then what now? First,
I wish it were that easy. You could just wish
it and it would be so, But it doesn't work
that way. For New Year's any more than it does
with Happy Birthday or have a nice day. But that
(16:45):
doesn't stop us. At New Year's. We shout it, we
wish it, hey, we even try to eat it. We
eat cabbage for more money, black eyed peas for good luck.
We so desperately want to blame everything that's wrong in
our lives or went wrong on the previous year, that
we actually convince ourselves this next year will be different,
(17:06):
This next year will be better, even happy. The problem is,
while the calendar will change, we probably will not. Twenty
twenty five, like all New Years, holds no magical powers
in and of itself. The ball that drops to end
one year and light up the next simply serves to
(17:27):
remind us the time is ticking, ticking on our hopes,
our dreams, and yes, ticking on our lives. As for
twenty twenty four, well, it was a year filled with
election uncertainty, inflation and high cost of living certainty, along
with very little interest rate relief as skyrocketing home prices,
the border crisis continued, the spread of war abroad intensified,
(17:51):
and the widening of divisions at home while they became
even greater in short twenty twenty four was another chilling
reminder that policies have consequences, and in the end, Old
Joe said bye bye to running American voters said bye
bye to Mama La Kamala, and we all said hello
(18:11):
again hello to Donald Trump. Two point zero twenty twenty
four also brought us a nerdy gymnast with thick glasses
to ensure gold for us all a women's rugby star,
Elana Mayer, and almost all of us set up big
Hello to wicked star Cynthia Arrivo. We said goodbye to
(18:32):
Quincy Jones, Chris Christofferson, James Earl Jones, the say Hey Kid,
Willie Mays, and to our one hundred year old former
president Jimmy Carter, just to name a few. Personally, Andrew
and I had a very challenging year taking care of
both of our mothers, including that long, slow goodbye as
they say, with her mom. But I also said hello
(18:53):
to about fifty new markets, fifty exactly, including Detroit today,
and in forty three years of radio, I have simply
never loved what I do, who I do it with,
and whom I do it for more in my life.
And I suspect twenty twenty four for you was filled
with both good and bad. After all, that's life right now.
(19:14):
I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions, but
here's a few reminders that I think may help all
of us make solid, real life changes rather than a
bunch of dreams and wishes. Reminder one, we are who
we are and where we are right now based on
the choices we have made and or our reactions, not
(19:38):
responses to circumstances that we're out of our control. We
are who we are and where we are by the
choices we have made, or our reactions to circumstances that
we're out of our control. Circumstances and choices. That's what
shapes our lives and our values. Beliefs, learned experiences, priorities.
(20:03):
They shape our choices and ultimately, together they shape our destiny.
Confused yet, wonder what comes first, the choices or the
character that makes them. Well, Like all great mysteries in life,
the answer is, of course both. Bottom line, if you
don't like your life, stop blaming the year. Let's just change.
(20:27):
Trust me that type of personal responsibility and willpower. It's
going to take some character, but I promise together it
will create more than just a happy New Year. It
might make a happy new you, whether it's eating, exercise, smoking, spending, laziness,
time management, write it down, do it do one otherwise,
(20:50):
I suspect twenty twenty five will go about like twenty
twenty four. Reminder too. New Year's is a lot about
the future, a mysterious unknown, as much as it is
about starting over with a clean slate. And here's what
I know most about the future. It's shaped by today,
and it's polished or tarnished by the unexpected. The future
(21:16):
is rarely about the expected. Ask any presidential candidate. It's
mostly about the unexpected. Moreover, our response or reaction to
the unexpected. And here's the truth. Prepared people respond. Unprepared
people react. Our goal at your morning show is to
(21:37):
keep you being prepared, ready to respond, not ignorant, not
unprepared and not reacting. Why what's the difference? Well, success
and failure. Hey, sometimes life and death. When attacked, the
prepared always respond with calm, measured and successful act. The
(22:00):
unprepared almost always react, and too quickly regretfully. It usually
ends not just in failure, but with a problem bigger
than the one that attacked them. To start with. So
in the end, we are all where we are and
who we are, shaped by the choices we have made
(22:21):
and our responses or reactions to circumstances that happened. Now,
if that's how we got here, how do we get
out of this mess? Well? For one better character, thus different, wiser,
better choices and character can come from all different places,
(22:42):
role modeling, the wisdom gained from having lived and learned,
but for me, mostly through faith and obedience. Now, wherever
you find it, here's the good news. While twenty twenty
five may not have any magical powers in its printed calendar,
it does hold three hundred and sixty five days with
(23:02):
twenty four hours in each to make better choices. And
who knows, better choices might equal a healthier you, a
more fulfilled you, a better you. Hey, it could even
equal a happier you, and thus finally a happy new year.
That's my wish, that's my prayer for you. I'm Michael
del Jorno and this is your new year, and this
(23:26):
is your morning show. This is your morning show with
Michael del Chno. Well, if you go across the pond
to the Daily Mail headline New Orleans Terrorist suspect made
videos just days before the tack. Reuter's headline driver flies
(23:46):
ICE's flag rams into New Orleans crowd, killing fifteen injuring
thirty five identified as Semsuding Jabbar forty two years old,
a citizen from Texas served in the army, radicalized and
it's fired by ISIS and wages while they're about to
go up for millions minimum wages that is. Mark Mayfield
(24:08):
explains a total twenty one.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Stays are raising their wage floors as the new year
gets started. The payhiks are expected to affect more than
nine million workers. Once the payhikes are enacted, Washington will
become the state with the highest minimum wage at sixteen
sixty six an hour. New York and California we'll share
in second place, offering workers sixteen fifty.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I'm Mark Mefield. President elect Donald Trump says he plans
to attend the thirty ninth president's funeral Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Trump made the comment Tuesday while speaking to reporters at
a New Year's Eve celebration at mar A Lago. Former
President Carter died Sunday at the age of one hundred.
Trump wouldn't say if he had spoken to the Carter
family since his death, but said he would attend the
state funeral for Carter next week in Washington. He also
predicted that Republican Mike Johnson would retain his position as
(24:56):
House Speaker and double down on his support for a
be one visas for high skilled immigrants.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I'm Brian Shuck. Services to performer President Carter will begin
on January the fourth in his hometown of Plains, Georgia,
with Carter lying in repose at the Carter Presidential Center.
Then the thirty ninth President will lie in state at
the rotund at the US Capitol on Tuesday the seventh.
A service at Washington National Cathedral will follow on January
the ninth. Official say the Sugar Bowl game between Georgia
(25:26):
and Notre Dame is back on kickoff today for Eastern
three Central and The explosion and fire of a Tesla
cyber truck at the Trump International Hotel in Vegas is
being investigated as a possible terror attack. Retired ATF agent
Scott Sweetee says early video evidence is showing that the
deadly fire was not an accident.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
You can see multiple large flashes. You also hear whistling
sounds in that video, and those whistling sounds are very
consistent with the sort of fireworks that you could buy
as a consumer and set off.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
One person inside the cyber truck was killed. At least
seven others near the vehicle suffered minor injuries. The Clark
County Sheriff says the truck exploded burst into flames Wednesday
morning about eight forty local time. It's unclear if the
dead person inside the cyber truck was a man or
a woman. The sheriff of the Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
confirms the cyber truck was rented from the same company
(26:21):
as the vehicle used in the New Orleans attack. The
World Health Organization is urging China to share its coronavirus
data related to the start of the pandemic. Rob Martier
has more.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
The organization in a statement this week, says without transparency,
sharing in cooperation among countries, the world cannot adequately prevent
and prepare for future epidemics and pandemics. Some scientists think
COVID transferred from animals to humans, but others suspect it
escaped from a laboratory in China. China in the past
has rejected the lab theory. The country has not responded
(26:51):
to the World Health Organization's request.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm Rob Martyr. As for President Biden is giving the
second highest civilian award the leaders of the January sixth
Congressional Political and a few more billion for Ukraine before
he leaves. Lisa Carton reports.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
On Monday, President Biden announced two and a half billion
dollars in security assistance for Ukraine. Biden said the US
will continue to work relentlessly to strengthen Ukraine's position in
its war with Russia for the remainder of his time
in office. February will mark three years since Russia invaded Ukraine.
On Sunday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky called the USA crucial
(27:29):
to stabilizing the front lines. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It's officially a new year and a new generation. Michael
Kasner reports.
Speaker 11 (27:41):
According to the demographers who helped define the generational age groups,
Generation Alpha came to an end at midnight, and those
born in the new year will technically be part of
Generation Beta, the experts say. Jen Beta will include those
born between twenty twenty five and twenty thirty nine. They say,
by twenty thirty five, jen Beta will make up sixteen
(28:03):
percent of the global population and that many of them
will live to see the twenty second century. I'm Michael
Cass in sports. By the time we visit tomorrow, we'll
have our final four. In football, Penn State a winner
over Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. They're in Texas
double overtime, but they beat Arizona State thirty nine to
thirty one.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
But oh did Arizona State went a lot of hearts?
Texas is in Ohio State advances with sweet revenge over
the Ducks. They're in the only position left who wins
the Sugar Bowl Notre Dame or Georgia New Orleans for
Eastern Pistons beat the Magic Wizards over the Bulls. MAVs
lost to the Rockets, and the Kings won one thirteen
one oh seven over the seventy six ers on the ice.
(28:44):
Kings three zip over the Devil's Kings. Now in second
place in the Pacific Division, just four points behind Vegas.
Birthdays Tay Diggs, fifty four MLB star. Fernando Detist Junior
you know actually played with his father, Fernando Detis senior. Really, yes,
when are you making that up. No, when I tried
out for the Tulsa Drillers, he was on that team. Wow.
Actor Cooba Gooding Junior is fifty seven and supermodel Christy
(29:06):
Turlington is fifty six. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday,
We're so glad you were born. All right. Obviously, our
two big stories, and they may be connected. We don't
know yet, but the cyber truck explosion in Vegas and
the terror attack in New Orleans. Roy O'Neil, our national
correspondent to your Morning show, covering both and has the
very latest. Good morning, Rory, Good morning, Michael. All right,
(29:27):
what do we know anything new?
Speaker 12 (29:29):
Well, we know that there are different avenues of investigation
because we are trying to figure out well, first, the
priority is to make sure the Sugar Bowl today is
safe and to do that. To do that, part of
it is to make sure that any accomplices that this
guy worked with there in New Orleans are captured as
soon as possible, and just identifying them is the challenge
at the moment. So they're going back to sort of
(29:51):
recreate this guy's life to figure out who he was
interacting with in the days and weeks leading up to
the attack, and of course the other investigat to figure
out whether or not what happened in New Orleans is
in any way connected to what happened in Las Vegas
at Trump International. Is it a coincidence or was it
part of some conspiracy?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, because remember like nine to eleven, I was on
the air when it all happened. I remember the first
plane hit. I remember going to the bathroom and as
I looked at it, I was like, no commuter plane
would have made a hole like that, It would have
just bounced off. That has to be a jet. And
then right about when I was thinking that, the second
jet hit, and everybody kind of forgets. Everything was like
(30:32):
timed ironically, like a half hour apart. First plane, second plane.
One tower goes down, second tower goes down, Pentagon, and
so you're trying to piece this all together in real time.
I don't know if anybody who questioned postponing that sugar
bowl not with what happened in New Orleans. Then the
truck in Vegas, knowing you didn't act alone in New Orleans,
(30:53):
I mean, it could have been a diversion. Get everybody concentrated,
the FBI and local law enforcement on Bourbon street and
you do something much bigger at the suit Dome. I mean,
it was clearly a wise move. Now the question is
how ready are they for today? And are there links
between these two because we just don't simply know what
body was in that vehicle in Vegas.
Speaker 12 (31:10):
Right right, Well, I think we've identified the man as
as a veteran from Colorado who rented the truck and
then drove it down to loaded it with fireworks and
camping fuel and then had the explosion happen and he
was killed and the only person killed there in Las Vegas,
I think what seven other people were injured very mildly,
(31:31):
didn't even shatter the windows at the hotel Mosk crediting
the design of the truck for that. So that investigation
again is its own thing. But the question is how
do they how do they and if they are actually
somehow connected.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Because yeah, because two veterans for attacks, right, two.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
Veterans using the same app same day, is it just
a coincidence? And then we've seen these vehicle attacks become
much more the norm with the way that isis has
been carrying out these strikes.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And you mentioned earlier boy was at a key point
you just don't see this usually at forty two, you know,
I mean, I think, you know, Jihadis are usually very young.
We don't know, you know. Obviously, din Jabbar was a
US citizen from Texas served in the Army, as did
whoever blued themselves up in Las Vegas. But at some point,
(32:22):
and I think we kind of surmised this earlier this morning.
Computers and phones, that's probably where we're going to get
most of our information, and hopefully it is limited to
these two. Yeah, and it's a lot of information.
Speaker 12 (32:33):
And think of all the video, the data that they're
going to be going through. We know they had an
airbnb in New Orleans where we believe the IEDs were made,
where their cameras at the airbnb that could show people
coming and going all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's a lot to go through. Yeah, And you know,
then we had the twenty four year old arrested. How
that guy lived, I mean, pushed right in front of
a train as that's arriving on purpose, and he survives,
got some head injuries obviously, but I mean he's a lie.
That's a miracle. Just a very violent start to the
new year. Great reporting as always, Rory we'll talk again tomorrow.
All right, that's gonna do it. New year has begun.
(33:07):
Here we go around the sun once again, and we
sure appreciate you being making your morning show a part
of your morning routine. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael Nheld Joe Now.

And I'd like to say, yeah, we tease him all
lot because we got him on the spot.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Welcome back, Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

I love our talented listeners. You can always be a
part of your own show, your morning show by using
the talk back button on your iHeartRadio app, just like
she did, or you can email me Mike at iHeartMedia

negative in any way, but I'm watching Fox with the
B team other radios to notice who provides the ad
team for the new year. Your Morning Show. The gang
(01:13):
is all, but the band is back together for you
On this Thursday, January second, twenty twenty five, The FBI
says it believes the suspect who drove through a crowded
Bourbon Street in New Orleans was not acting alone. The
security barriers that would have protected the crowds on Bourbon
Street had been removed before Wednesday's attack. Sugar Bowl was postponed.
It'll kick off today, three Central, four Eastern, Notre Dame,
(01:36):
and Georgia, the final piece to the top four puzzle
that ends up being in the end. Well about the
rankings prior to all of this, this playoff nonsense, by
the way, I'd like to start with something. If I
could pick a little bone, may I? I've got at
So David's not He's real big on you don't make predictions.
And I said, I'm going with Donald Trump three hundred
(01:59):
and twelve electric oral college boats. It ends up Donald
Trump three hundred and twelve electoral College boats. But David,
of course doesn't believe in get making such predictions. And
then we're at dinner the night before the game and
David turns to me and goes, I think, Ohio State's
going to punch him in the face. I think they're
(02:20):
gonna win, and then they'll score over forty points and
the final score was forty one twenty. So when it
comes to sports, you'll make a prediction. Yeah, but I'm not.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
I'm not even an Ohio State fan, and I made
the prediction.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I don't know why. I just had a feeling. How
do you grow up outside of Cleveland and not be
an Ohio State fan?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You be an Italian who came from Pittsburgh, oh Notre
Dame and it rooted for another Dame.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's just that simple. G T four Notre Dame. Wake
up the Gohs calling her name. I can't stop. Send Dobbari,
cheer on high, shit down the thunder from the sky. Well,
they got a quarterback tonight and Georgia doesn't maybe any
prediction on that game.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
All I know is your year or two into this
wonderful new project called Your Morning Show, and we're here
and we're working with all the people who are working today.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Finally we're done with all this cloud.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Of perpetual celebration and we're talking about football.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, why not get fired? In some places it.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
Did Hey, wait a minute, you just broke a commandment there,
young man. We have a personal foul personal fifteen yards
breaking up a former employee that breaks the command Can
we welcome our number fifty, which was my brother's football
number in high school.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Our number fifty affiliate is nine ten am the superstation
WFDF in Detroit, Michigan. Yes, we got here just in
time for the Lions march to a super Bowl and
the Pistons won last night.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Welcome grounded Alabama, which is not an easy thing to
walk through a Tennessee neighborhood talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Hey, how about the Wolverines. They finished strong, they beat
Ohio State, then they win their bowl game against Alabama.
It's not too shuit. Look at where Harball's at right now.
So full circle for me. I was born in Flint, Michigan,
Saint Joseph's Hospital just down the road and number fifty Detroit,
nine ten am superstation. Welcome aboard. You can always email
me Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com and you can
(04:19):
use that talkback button on your iHeartRadio apps. You can
ask a question, make a comment without waiting on hold.
Can't have your morning show without your voice and Welcome
to your morning show, Detroit, Michigan. All right, this is
another voice you're going to hear a lot. David Sinati
is our senior contributor here at your morning show, and
we thought today would be a good day to kind
of look back at twenty twenty four and look ahead
(04:40):
at twenty twenty five. I don't know if you've heard
the audio on our Sounds of the Day, but a
CBS reporter coming forward that the most underreported story of
twenty twenty four was the cognitive declinent of Joe Biden.
This is a guy they hit in the basement in
one in twenty twenty And if your first notion that
this guy was cognitively impaired was that debate, you aren't
paying very good attention and the media hasn't been honest
(05:02):
all along.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Yeah, that's truly the biggest story. But it goes back
to COVID. Michael, it goes back to COVID. We I'm sorry,
I've got to start with it as well. Uh, there's
another radio company in America that is just settling lawsuits
at this day for firing people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding? That's another commandment broken?
Same commandment, fifteen yards, same face mask. What is happening
to you? I'm losing to Toby. I'm out, I'm out
of targeting. Now we're going to do that one for targeting,
targeting without a doubt.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Here's a big radio company that fired people because they
wouldn't take the vaccine. Now they're having to settle lawsuits
because they broke those people's rights.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And it's buried. It's buried.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
It started in COVID because we were lied to during COVID,
and the American media across the board played along some
people so systematically that you have to believe they were
in on some cabal and so not. From that, we
moved to Biden, and we were lied to for four
years with Biden. The biggest story of last year is this.
(06:07):
People said, I'm done being lied to. You got me twice, well,
not going to get me a third time?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Can I say it this way? And I coined the
original phrase, Wait a minute.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
I think I just broke a commandment and bragged on
well Son, you gotta be that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I said, I picked the exactly look total college number
for crying out loud. Hey Jack, how are you? Another
year around the sun? My friend by Jack Kennedy statue anyway,
make a long story short. I coined the phrase death
of journalism. It was dead, never mind biased, it was dead,
blatant for all to see. That happened in twenty twenty.
(06:42):
That happened really in twenty sixteen with Hillary Clinton, and
it all also happened during COVID. What we saw in
twenty twenty four was the decomposition of the death of journalism,
where America just moved on to digital, to podcasting. They
I think they finally in twenty twenty four realized they
were dead with the reelection of Donald Trump. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
And and now it's going to be interesting to see
how it all shakes out.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
This is fascinating.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
We are in a brave new world, and I mean
that in a pioneering sense as to where people will go.
Some people have thought that it was a technological shift,
and that's all it was. But it's treated by trust,
it's needed by trust. And this is not so that
I can redeem myself on the Commandment list. This is
not a perpetual story here of we told you so
(07:28):
or I told you so.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Now.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
No, if anything, the American people once again are far
ahead of the curve, far ahead of the curve. They're
just tired of we together, we are tired of being
lied to?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Isn't that? But isn't that the lesson everybody? Isn't that
the lesson though of twenty twenty four? And that they
underestimated again the intelligence of the American people.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
And the tolerance of the American It's it's funny because
our good friend.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Doctor William Eying.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
But William Allen has been in the public policy world
for his entire life, and he is that people continually
underestimate the goodness and the kindness and the good intentions
of the American general electorate. People want to do the
right thing and get on with their lives, and they
don't want to see people suffer, and they don't want
to suffer. They want to do the best they can,
(08:17):
and they want to be able to trust people who
are in authority.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And you can fool them once, but don't try to
fool him twice. So they get the betrayal, But do
they get the solution? Have they connected that DoD yet?
Let me give you an example. I have a great
church and a great pastor. When I say I'm a
great pastor, not that I worship him. This guy is
(08:41):
so dead and you can't fake dead. Even his little thoughts.
You can tell of the kind of thoughts you come
away with from ours being in the presence of God.
He's just the best, all right. So we get there
for service Sunday and he's not preaching. Your flesh goes.
(09:03):
We could have slept in and then your spirit's like,
are you kidding me? Do you worship me? Or this pastor?
So I shut up a filling did a terrific job.
But he's our missions pastor What a text he had
in Revelations one twenty two. I mean I David of
course doesn't like to talk about this, but he has
(09:25):
as many degrees as I have wisecracks, and a lot
of them are in Bible. And so from a theological standpoint,
this is a tough text. You have to talk to
human beings on earth about the past, present and future
nature and state of God as you're in a present state,
all right. So that's hard to get your arms around,
(09:47):
just like the Trinity can be hard to get your
arms around. And then the Exege, which is, okay, what
do we do with this? It is finished? Yet he's
building a new heaven. Yet it's finished already and he's
making it. How can he be making it and it's
finished and it's to be for us all at the
same time. That's a tough text, you'll agree, sure. And
(10:09):
then what's the exeget? Now? What do we do with this?
Do we just sit and wait to die so that
we can be resurrected in Christ and enjoy this new
heaven where we'll cry no more, we'll die no more?
What do we do? And the answer is what we
will do for eternity? Be busy about his business. Now
in the text, he brings up do you know where
(10:32):
hospitals were started? Do you know where universities were started?
Do you know how schooling was started? Do you know
how insurance started? Insurance started? If the body of Christ
was busy about its father's business as it was in
previous generations, the government wouldn't be taking care of our
(10:52):
old and sick we would be The government wouldn't be
taking care of the mentally ill or the infants that
are abandoned. We would be See. I don't think America
has connected these dots yet. We know who's betrayed us.
We know it's not working, but we don't know when
we turned our back on a way of truth in
a life that once worked for all way better than
(11:14):
government can. And government is not worthy of worship. And
the God has been exposed as false.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Two great questions, because not only have we forgotten those lessons,
but we have somehow empowered an entire political universe to
believe that when government inserts itself seizing other people's money
for charitable purposes directed by politicians, that is the height
of morality. That's how Joe Biden sees the world. That's
(11:40):
how he sees it as a soul.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
He sees it as a soul, a redeemable and an
i redeem or irredeemable side soul of what the human
experience of faith is from the Judeo Christian tradition, it
is us walking in the image of the Creator, loving
our neighbor as we love ourselves because of Him, not
the government doing it for us. We see the failure.
I don't think we have the glimpse of the victory,
(12:04):
but it could be coming. In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chourno.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
ear and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app by Michael
del Journal A quick little visit here with your Morning
Show senior contributor Dave Sanati and David, I mean, you know, obviously,
if I had to put it all in a nutshell,
they tried to tie up Donald Trump in court. They
even got him convicted on some felony charges. It didn't
stop him from winning the nomination. Uniting his party first,
(12:34):
Joe Biden says bye bye to the race, and America
says bye bye to Mama La Kamala and hello again,
Hello did Donald Trump? I mean, that's that along with
the high cost of living, the very little relief and
interest rate reductions, inflation, war broadening in the Middle East
as well as continuing in Ukraine, and the divisions at
(12:55):
home widening leading up to the election, and then a
weird spirit in the final month of everybody just uniting
behind Donald Trump. There wasn't the big sorrow and rebellion
that we thought there would be from the left. They
even seemingly half of them seem excited about Donald Trump.
It's as if they can't admit it, but they know
their policies had consequences, and they failed. Where does this
(13:19):
leave us heading into twenty twenty five? What are you
looking at? I mean, what security becomes top of mind?
After New Orleans, after Las Vegas, and we still have
a national championship and an inauguration a day on the
same day. But I mean, what do you see ahead
for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Well, it's often been said that the reason there are
so many arguments in the world is because of differing
expectations and what kind of expectations that of people bring
forward into this new year from the Trump administration? And
is are those expectations even close to reality? Because now
tomorrow Congress goes back to work. The planes are in
the air, they're coming back. They will all be there
(13:57):
with their families and all their celebrations and staking out
their ground and their territory, and then they will certify
the election, and then it will begin where Congress will
try to get the drop on the president and the
fight between the two entities of government will go on.
And John Roberts has already dropped his gauntlet, basically telling
everybody in advance, I'm not going to be pushed around
(14:19):
by this new administration. Thanks a lot, John Way to
not make yourself a politician on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
He goes first.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
So we're going to see a collision of realities and
it's going to make for fascinating observation and it's going
to make a lot of falling down. Bottom line, the
prediction for this year is a lot of falling down.
The only question is going to be are we're falling
down in the right direction?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah? Falling forward? Are you ruling out any shenanigans with
the certification?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
That's all that Biden can't let that. They can't let
that happen. They've already got their resistance moves already employed.
They're not going to get caught up in their own
nightmare fantasy on January.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
They'll go beyond that. With a minute and a half
to go. I do see twenty twenty five being a
very vulnerable year for terror. But the quicker the Trump
team can get in place and secure the border and
secure law enforcement and get intelligence flowing to all agencies,
the better. It may not be soon enough. Let's hope
it is a lot of collot would such those boundary
sarch no doubt? Yeah, I can see that coming. What
(15:22):
about in one minute? Reasonable expectations for what Donald Trump
can accomplish in a second one hundred days and in
a second term. That's good.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Get a budget, get secure the tax cuts. We'll keep
it that small. Get a budget, secure the tax cuts.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And then we see what happens from there, all right,
and then's the energy and energy drill, baby drill. All right, David,
appreciate it, great review, great preview, looking forward to whatever happens,
going through it together and having your insights. Thank you
so much, and thank you for Christmas in America for
two days while we were gone.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Hey, this is top Cop Kathy Hinters. My morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Joorno.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Now. Enjoy the podcast yesterday in New Orleans Proof Sometimes
even that only lasts a few hours. Then what now? First,
I wish it were that easy. You could just wish
it and it would be so, But it doesn't work
that way. For New Year's any more than it does
with Happy Birthday or have a nice day. But that
(16:45):
doesn't stop us. At New Year's. We shout it, we
wish it, hey, we even try to eat it. We
eat cabbage for more money, black eyed peas for good luck.
We so desperately want to blame everything that's wrong in
our lives or went wrong on the previous year, that
we actually convince ourselves this next year will be different,
(17:06):
This next year will be better, even happy. The problem is,
while the calendar will change, we probably will not. Twenty
twenty five, like all New Years, holds no magical powers
in and of itself. The ball that drops to end
one year and light up the next simply serves to
(17:27):
remind us the time is ticking, ticking on our hopes,
our dreams, and yes, ticking on our lives. As for
twenty twenty four, well, it was a year filled with
election uncertainty, inflation and high cost of living certainty, along
with very little interest rate relief as skyrocketing home prices,
the border crisis continued, the spread of war abroad intensified,
(17:51):
and the widening of divisions at home while they became
even greater in short twenty twenty four was another chilling
reminder that policies have consequences, and in the end, Old
Joe said bye bye to running American voters said bye
bye to Mama La Kamala, and we all said hello
(18:11):
again hello to Donald Trump. Two point zero twenty twenty
four also brought us a nerdy gymnast with thick glasses
to ensure gold for us all a women's rugby star,
Elana Mayer, and almost all of us set up big
Hello to wicked star Cynthia Arrivo. We said goodbye to
(18:32):
Quincy Jones, Chris Christofferson, James Earl Jones, the say Hey Kid,
Willie Mays, and to our one hundred year old former
president Jimmy Carter, just to name a few. Personally, Andrew
and I had a very challenging year taking care of
both of our mothers, including that long, slow goodbye as
they say, with her mom. But I also said hello
(18:53):
to about fifty new markets, fifty exactly, including Detroit today,
and in forty three years of radio, I have simply
never loved what I do, who I do it with,
and whom I do it for more in my life.
And I suspect twenty twenty four for you was filled
with both good and bad. After all, that's life right now.
(19:14):
I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions, but
here's a few reminders that I think may help all
of us make solid, real life changes rather than a
bunch of dreams and wishes. Reminder one, we are who
we are and where we are right now based on
the choices we have made and or our reactions, not
(19:38):
responses to circumstances that we're out of our control. We
are who we are and where we are by the
choices we have made, or our reactions to circumstances that
we're out of our control. Circumstances and choices. That's what
shapes our lives and our values. Beliefs, learned experiences, priorities.
(20:03):
They shape our choices and ultimately, together they shape our destiny.
Confused yet, wonder what comes first, the choices or the
character that makes them. Well, Like all great mysteries in life,
the answer is, of course both. Bottom line, if you
don't like your life, stop blaming the year. Let's just change.
(20:27):
Trust me that type of personal responsibility and willpower. It's
going to take some character, but I promise together it
will create more than just a happy New Year. It
might make a happy new you, whether it's eating, exercise, smoking, spending, laziness,
time management, write it down, do it do one otherwise,
(20:50):
I suspect twenty twenty five will go about like twenty
twenty four. Reminder too. New Year's is a lot about
the future, a mysterious unknown, as much as it is
about starting over with a clean slate. And here's what
I know most about the future. It's shaped by today,
and it's polished or tarnished by the unexpected. The future
(21:16):
is rarely about the expected. Ask any presidential candidate. It's
mostly about the unexpected. Moreover, our response or reaction to
the unexpected. And here's the truth. Prepared people respond. Unprepared
people react. Our goal at your morning show is to
(21:37):
keep you being prepared, ready to respond, not ignorant, not
unprepared and not reacting. Why what's the difference? Well, success
and failure. Hey, sometimes life and death. When attacked, the
prepared always respond with calm, measured and successful act. The
(22:00):
unprepared almost always react, and too quickly regretfully. It usually
ends not just in failure, but with a problem bigger
than the one that attacked them. To start with. So
in the end, we are all where we are and
who we are, shaped by the choices we have made
(22:21):
and our responses or reactions to circumstances that happened. Now,
if that's how we got here, how do we get
out of this mess? Well? For one better character, thus different, wiser,
better choices and character can come from all different places,
(22:42):
role modeling, the wisdom gained from having lived and learned,
but for me, mostly through faith and obedience. Now, wherever
you find it, here's the good news. While twenty twenty
five may not have any magical powers in its printed calendar,
it does hold three hundred and sixty five days with
(23:02):
twenty four hours in each to make better choices. And
who knows, better choices might equal a healthier you, a
more fulfilled you, a better you. Hey, it could even
equal a happier you, and thus finally a happy new year.
That's my wish, that's my prayer for you. I'm Michael
del Jorno and this is your new year, and this
(23:26):
is your morning show. This is your morning show with
Michael del Chno. Well, if you go across the pond
to the Daily Mail headline New Orleans Terrorist suspect made
videos just days before the tack. Reuter's headline driver flies
(23:46):
ICE's flag rams into New Orleans crowd, killing fifteen injuring
thirty five identified as Semsuding Jabbar forty two years old,
a citizen from Texas served in the army, radicalized and
it's fired by ISIS and wages while they're about to
go up for millions minimum wages that is. Mark Mayfield
(24:08):
explains a total twenty one.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Stays are raising their wage floors as the new year
gets started. The payhiks are expected to affect more than
nine million workers. Once the payhikes are enacted, Washington will
become the state with the highest minimum wage at sixteen
sixty six an hour. New York and California we'll share
in second place, offering workers sixteen fifty.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I'm Mark Mefield. President elect Donald Trump says he plans
to attend the thirty ninth president's funeral Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Trump made the comment Tuesday while speaking to reporters at
a New Year's Eve celebration at mar A Lago. Former
President Carter died Sunday at the age of one hundred.
Trump wouldn't say if he had spoken to the Carter
family since his death, but said he would attend the
state funeral for Carter next week in Washington. He also
predicted that Republican Mike Johnson would retain his position as
(24:56):
House Speaker and double down on his support for a
be one visas for high skilled immigrants.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I'm Brian Shuck. Services to performer President Carter will begin
on January the fourth in his hometown of Plains, Georgia,
with Carter lying in repose at the Carter Presidential Center.
Then the thirty ninth President will lie in state at
the rotund at the US Capitol on Tuesday the seventh.
A service at Washington National Cathedral will follow on January
the ninth. Official say the Sugar Bowl game between Georgia
(25:26):
and Notre Dame is back on kickoff today for Eastern
three Central and The explosion and fire of a Tesla
cyber truck at the Trump International Hotel in Vegas is
being investigated as a possible terror attack. Retired ATF agent
Scott Sweetee says early video evidence is showing that the
deadly fire was not an accident.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
You can see multiple large flashes. You also hear whistling
sounds in that video, and those whistling sounds are very
consistent with the sort of fireworks that you could buy
as a consumer and set off.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
One person inside the cyber truck was killed. At least
seven others near the vehicle suffered minor injuries. The Clark
County Sheriff says the truck exploded burst into flames Wednesday
morning about eight forty local time. It's unclear if the
dead person inside the cyber truck was a man or
a woman. The sheriff of the Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
confirms the cyber truck was rented from the same company
(26:21):
as the vehicle used in the New Orleans attack. The
World Health Organization is urging China to share its coronavirus
data related to the start of the pandemic. Rob Martier
has more.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
The organization in a statement this week, says without transparency,
sharing in cooperation among countries, the world cannot adequately prevent
and prepare for future epidemics and pandemics. Some scientists think
COVID transferred from animals to humans, but others suspect it
escaped from a laboratory in China. China in the past
has rejected the lab theory. The country has not responded
(26:51):
to the World Health Organization's request.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm Rob Martyr. As for President Biden is giving the
second highest civilian award the leaders of the January sixth
Congressional Political and a few more billion for Ukraine before
he leaves. Lisa Carton reports.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
On Monday, President Biden announced two and a half billion
dollars in security assistance for Ukraine. Biden said the US
will continue to work relentlessly to strengthen Ukraine's position in
its war with Russia for the remainder of his time
in office. February will mark three years since Russia invaded Ukraine.
On Sunday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky called the USA crucial
(27:29):
to stabilizing the front lines. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
It's officially a new year and a new generation. Michael
Kasner reports.
Speaker 11 (27:41):
According to the demographers who helped define the generational age groups,
Generation Alpha came to an end at midnight, and those
born in the new year will technically be part of
Generation Beta, the experts say. Jen Beta will include those
born between twenty twenty five and twenty thirty nine. They say,
by twenty thirty five, jen Beta will make up sixteen
(28:03):
percent of the global population and that many of them
will live to see the twenty second century. I'm Michael
Cass in sports. By the time we visit tomorrow, we'll
have our final four. In football, Penn State a winner
over Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. They're in Texas
double overtime, but they beat Arizona State thirty nine to
thirty one.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
But oh did Arizona State went a lot of hearts?
Texas is in Ohio State advances with sweet revenge over
the Ducks. They're in the only position left who wins
the Sugar Bowl Notre Dame or Georgia New Orleans for
Eastern Pistons beat the Magic Wizards over the Bulls. MAVs
lost to the Rockets, and the Kings won one thirteen
one oh seven over the seventy six ers on the ice.
(28:44):
Kings three zip over the Devil's Kings. Now in second
place in the Pacific Division, just four points behind Vegas.
Birthdays Tay Diggs, fifty four MLB star. Fernando Detist Junior
you know actually played with his father, Fernando Detis senior. Really, yes,
when are you making that up. No, when I tried
out for the Tulsa Drillers, he was on that team. Wow.
Actor Cooba Gooding Junior is fifty seven and supermodel Christy
(29:06):
Turlington is fifty six. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday,
We're so glad you were born. All right. Obviously, our
two big stories, and they may be connected. We don't
know yet, but the cyber truck explosion in Vegas and
the terror attack in New Orleans. Roy O'Neil, our national
correspondent to your Morning show, covering both and has the
very latest. Good morning, Rory, Good morning, Michael. All right,
(29:27):
what do we know anything new?
Speaker 12 (29:29):
Well, we know that there are different avenues of investigation
because we are trying to figure out well, first, the
priority is to make sure the Sugar Bowl today is
safe and to do that. To do that, part of
it is to make sure that any accomplices that this
guy worked with there in New Orleans are captured as
soon as possible, and just identifying them is the challenge
at the moment. So they're going back to sort of
(29:51):
recreate this guy's life to figure out who he was
interacting with in the days and weeks leading up to
the attack, and of course the other investigat to figure
out whether or not what happened in New Orleans is
in any way connected to what happened in Las Vegas
at Trump International. Is it a coincidence or was it
part of some conspiracy?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, because remember like nine to eleven, I was on
the air when it all happened. I remember the first
plane hit. I remember going to the bathroom and as
I looked at it, I was like, no commuter plane
would have made a hole like that, It would have
just bounced off. That has to be a jet. And
then right about when I was thinking that, the second
jet hit, and everybody kind of forgets. Everything was like
(30:32):
timed ironically, like a half hour apart. First plane, second plane.
One tower goes down, second tower goes down, Pentagon, and
so you're trying to piece this all together in real time.
I don't know if anybody who questioned postponing that sugar
bowl not with what happened in New Orleans. Then the
truck in Vegas, knowing you didn't act alone in New Orleans,
(30:53):
I mean, it could have been a diversion. Get everybody concentrated,
the FBI and local law enforcement on Bourbon street and
you do something much bigger at the suit Dome. I mean,
it was clearly a wise move. Now the question is
how ready are they for today? And are there links
between these two because we just don't simply know what
body was in that vehicle in Vegas.
Speaker 12 (31:10):
Right right, Well, I think we've identified the man as
as a veteran from Colorado who rented the truck and
then drove it down to loaded it with fireworks and
camping fuel and then had the explosion happen and he
was killed and the only person killed there in Las Vegas,
I think what seven other people were injured very mildly,
(31:31):
didn't even shatter the windows at the hotel Mosk crediting
the design of the truck for that. So that investigation
again is its own thing. But the question is how
do they how do they and if they are actually
somehow connected.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Because yeah, because two veterans for attacks, right, two.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
Veterans using the same app same day, is it just
a coincidence? And then we've seen these vehicle attacks become
much more the norm with the way that isis has
been carrying out these strikes.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And you mentioned earlier boy was at a key point
you just don't see this usually at forty two, you know,
I mean, I think, you know, Jihadis are usually very young.
We don't know, you know. Obviously, din Jabbar was a
US citizen from Texas served in the Army, as did
whoever blued themselves up in Las Vegas. But at some point,
(32:22):
and I think we kind of surmised this earlier this morning.
Computers and phones, that's probably where we're going to get
most of our information, and hopefully it is limited to
these two. Yeah, and it's a lot of information.
Speaker 12 (32:33):
And think of all the video, the data that they're
going to be going through. We know they had an
airbnb in New Orleans where we believe the IEDs were made,
where their cameras at the airbnb that could show people
coming and going all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's a lot to go through. Yeah, And you know,
then we had the twenty four year old arrested. How
that guy lived, I mean, pushed right in front of
a train as that's arriving on purpose, and he survives,
got some head injuries obviously, but I mean he's a lie.
That's a miracle. Just a very violent start to the
new year. Great reporting as always, Rory we'll talk again tomorrow.
All right, that's gonna do it. New year has begun.
(33:07):
Here we go around the sun once again, and we
sure appreciate you being making your morning show a part
of your morning routine. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael Nheld Joe Now.
