and Dover, Delaware, or wgst AM seven twenty the voice

Speaker 1 (00:12):
And we're going to need some blankets.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. You said you could
never go home again. They couldn't be more wrong. It
took me sixty years, but I'm back home. In August
of nineteen sixty four, I entered this earth at Saint
Joseph's Hospital in Flint, Michigan. This week, we welcome nine
ten am superstation WFDF, Detroit, Michigan, to your morning show family.
(00:57):
Welcome Detroit. It's good to have you home again. This
is your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. I'm Michael. Can't have this show
without you. It's named after you so many ways you
can be a part of it now, the least of
which is if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
There's the talkback, but the Big John is using fun.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Know when I find a real joke that the FBI
won't release the manifest though from the Nashville shooter, but
they will let some journalists wearing yoga pants wander through
this terrorists apartment.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know, I may have said that word for word
exactly an hour ago, but I like it so much
better when he says that just sounds better and the
yoga pants st it reminds me.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know, this is the add nature that I have.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So here I am on the radio talking to all
of you, and what's going through my mind is the
yoga pants.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, this no name reporter in yoga pants is.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
In the terrorists home ours after terrorist attack. As he's
showing the FBI documents and search warrants, she's going through
his karan and I'm like, is anybody preserving this as
yoga pants place of it? But all I can think
of is the yoga pants, and I'm thinking of curly and.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
City slickers.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Remember he's sitting out Jack Palance is only good with
a cigarette. Jack Palnce really makes you want to smoke.
You did one arm push ups. There she was standing
in the sun, showing everything the way God made her.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
The yoga pants were they are vile? Can we get
beyond yoga pants? I mean, I mean put a little
more effort into it. I never get up and think
what can I wear skin tight? To leave nothing to
people's imagination of this horrific body that I'm saying. If
men would start wearing them, they would go away quickly.
(02:56):
You can always email Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com.
Jason and Love says, I listened today while trucking through
Middle Tennessee. Great show. And then I just naturally responded, well,
thank you. Let's keep on trucking together in twenty twenty five.
And then I couldn't help but think about how I
didn't get confirmed in the Catholic Church. What should we
(03:17):
tell that story? Well, yeah, I heard this is what's
fun about living long enough? You know you amass all
these experiences. So I had two older brothers to make.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Sure we're going to go ahead. How do you know
it's not gonna bomb?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So anyway, I had two older brothers, one of which
was more like a father to me. And I guess
another way, you know, you idolize, you worship. He was
doing everything first everything, you know. The way you can
cut to the chase is like when you have a
big Little League game. I wasn't looking to see if
my father was there, and he usually wasn't, but I
was looking at my brother was there because he was
(03:53):
like my dad. So and then there's a blind trust
that goes along with that, you know, like when he says, hey,
I know they're out of town.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Let's go in their house and have a look around.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Okay, I could go wrong, or look, you're eventually gonna
try marijuana. Better you do it with me. Come on,
let's go for a walk. You know, stuff like that.
You trust act right. So he had this shirt that
he always wore and it said mother and then the
(04:28):
word trucker and it had this good looking woman getting
out of a big, you know, eighteen wheel truck cab
and she was wearing short shorts with high heels. But
I didn't know it's the kid, I really didn't. So
I remember, you know, it was time to go to Catechism,
and I was out shooting baskets. So I come in
(04:50):
and I change and that T shirt's on the ground,
so I throw it on with my jeans and I head.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Off at the catechism.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'm in Chicago, and I have to walk all the
way to our lady of wayside and it was cold,
so I had.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
My coat on. I'm not thinking anything of it. You
should have thought better. I get to the church. I
get to my catechism class. What do I do.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I unzipped my jacket, I put it in the cubicle
and I sit down. The nun walks in. Now I
don't even know what she's talking about. What are you wearing?
And all I could think of was a T shirt,
my brother's T shirt. I got thrown out and I
was never confirmed. Wow, no kidd Now, I'm serious. I
(05:34):
do have John three sixteen in Galatians to twenty to
feel confirmed by the Holy Spirit that I'm saying. And
then there's nothing negative about the Catholic Church whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But I mean she was right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I think there was a little harsh, But I mean
I guess I could have gone back and finished. Then
we moved and I never did. And wow became But yeah,
all because of his T shirt. And so then this
trucker writes and I said, well, let's truck on together
in twenty twenty five, and all I could think of
was that T shirt. And now I'm still not confirmed.
Every tell you about the time we went to a
(06:05):
church here in Franklin, and it was a tradition. We'd
go there on Christmas Eve, then we'd come home, we'd
make cookies. Well, apparently I'm benown to us. The church
had a schism and it became a different church, and
the pastor was gone. And so we went to go
to church as we always did, you know, on Christmas
Eve at four o'clock and there was no service.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So we're like in a jam.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And I looked at it and said, Andrea, the only
place we can go is the Catholic Church. So I
get the kids on in the kitchen. I give a
crash catechism. Of course, they're going to say the Body
of Christ. You hold out your hand or you stick
out your tongue, and you say, m men, I'm giving
them all the Christ. So we get to the service,
and you know, they're kind of following my lead, when
to stand, when to kneel under hit And then it
(06:48):
comes time for communion, and I go first, Body of Christ.
Amen go back, because commune is a big deal for me.
I love to goslutely. I mean, I have Body of
Christ to me, and I'm back. I'm praying, I'm thinking,
I'm doing all listen, and I hear a commotion and
apparently at the front front of the church, and it
went after me and the priest wet body of Christ,
(07:09):
and she went, thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Do what she asked, have you had your first totally communion,
which then a crowd starts together, give us that we
shoulp out.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The side candles at home to make cookies. Was trucker.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Now, I would like to say to that truck if
he's listening right now, great name to man love.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What were you gonna?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We decided on after watching Anderson Cooper and I can
never remember the other guy's name the hosts because you
know you'r's eve on CNM. Yeah, but he called him sweet.
He kept calling Anderson sweetie, and I thought you should
call me something. Then you you arrived at sweet Toe,
sweet Toe, sugar.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
This is man love.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But I just wanted him to know you you don't
have to listen just when you're driving through town, we're
on iHeart, But first of all, we're a nationwide We're
on a station whatever city you're driving through. But you
can always listen on your iHeartRadio app anytime. But thanks
for that great note. Keep on trucking, all right. I
don't know how I went into that. I'm always giving
this simple lesson. We don't fail in life. This is
(08:13):
just this is just a teachable moment for all of
us to reflect on. Usually we don't fail in life
because we don't know what to do. Most of our
failures or we don't do what we know. Isn't it
that way with our diets? Isn't that way with exercise?
I mean, think of all the things, do we really
I guess there was a time maybe, But does anybody
(08:34):
really need to put on the side of a cigarette
pack a warning.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
May cause cancer and breathing bras? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The Marlborough Man never said anything about cancer.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He said be careful on your horse, but never anything about.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
So we fail because we don't do what we know. Well,
here's a classic example. Longtime Democrat strategist AH James Carvell
does this big op ed piece where he finally has
to admit I was wrong that Kamala Harris was gonna win. Yeah,
you were wrong, but look at why he was wrong.
Follow the story. Democratic strategist James Carvel conceded in an
(09:10):
obed piece that he was wrong about the election after
repeatedly predicting the Vice president Kamala Harris would win, and
that the results boiled down to the economy stupid. I
thought Kamala would win.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And while I'm sure we Democrats can argue that the
loss wasn't a landslide, or take a little solace and
the house performance, the most important thing for us now
is to face that we were wrong to take action
on prevailing and why we lost for one simple reason.
(09:48):
It was, it is, and it always will be the
economy stupid. The famous phrase he himself is that not
the greatest example. If we don't feel because we don't know,
fail because we don't do what we already know. Throughout
(10:08):
this campaign, everybody was getting their I I was thinking
of the poker analogy, and I could be a good
poker player. I choose not to poker because play poker,
because I choose not to gamble. But if I did,
I can tell you, and if there's anybody listening, it's
a good poker player. The more you focus on your hand,
the more you're set up to be beat. You're not
(10:29):
playing the cards, you're playing the other players. This guy
took his eyes and put it on his own hand
and started believing his own narratives. These people create the
narratives that the media play, and then the man who
coins the phrases the economy stupid, eventually ignores the economy
(10:54):
and buys the lies and the narrative and believe she's
gonna win. That's why I was sitting here. I gotta
tell you. People say, don't ever do this. I do
it all the time. And if, by the way, if
I tell you, and I did yesterday George is gonna
beat Notre Dame, you should have run out and bet
Notre Dame. I am absolutely wrong about sports every single time,
(11:17):
but I'm never wrong about politics. We're gonna talk to
John Dekker later next half hour. John thought I was crazy.
He had Kamala Harris winning. I said, Donald Trump's gonna
win three hundred and twelve electoral voices.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Really three hundred and twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, three hundred and twelve because I never put my
eyes on my own hand. I never took my eyes
off the ball. It reminds me of that. You know,
that same brother the game of that T shirt. He
does collectible coins, and I was like, how do you
do this. There's a million coins from over hundreds and
hundreds of years. There's so many counterfeits out there. How
(11:52):
could you possibly study all these fake coins to know
what's real and what's fake? And he looked at me,
he goes, I don't. I said, you don't, Well, then
how do you protect your investors? How do you protect yourself?
I know what the real coin looks like. I study
the real coin, then when I see the fake I
notice it. That's a powerful lesson here, and that's why
(12:18):
we kept Laser focused on the voters, not the narrative,
on the economy, not the narrative, on the border, not
the narrative. Carvel doesn't get it. He doesn't even remember
a phrase he coined and lost sight of what he
already knew. But the truth is, if they really want
(12:40):
to get to the why you once again underestimated the
intelligence of the American people, kind of like yoga pants
walking through the terrorists home people can smell around a
mile away. You may be thinking you've gotten good at
controlling and lying and narrow devising with the American people
(13:03):
and a government up for them buy They still got
their eye on the players.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Not the hand, and they're not buying it. That's why
you were wrong, stupid. It's your morning show with Michael
del Chino. Are you ready for a little blast of truth? Sure?
Can you handle the truth? Are you sure you can
handle the right? I can handle the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
There are a lot I'll leave it at that, maybe
all most of all, But there are a lot of
talk show hosts who love themselves. This show is named
your Morning Show because we love you now. Jerry Lewis
always had his kids, my kids. My kids kept his
passion and his focus. I have my truckers.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Suffer, not Keith the La Trucker under the good morning everybody. Keith,
iHeartRadio West Coast Trucker. Happy New Year's. I think everybody's
missing the point.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
The obvious point is the only reason that reporter.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Got to go in as she was wearing yoga pants. Oh,
there's no way for her to sneak out any evidence.
Oh it's about blast.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm telling you in four. No, there was one other
time I did nights. I think it would have been
nineteen eighty four eighty five on WTIX in New Orleans.
I did the late night Oldie Show, and I mean
I messed with people and I had I had listeners
that were like cast members.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They were absolutely did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, and then but here, I gotta tell you, in
forty three years, this is my favorite audience ever.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You guys, you're the star of this show. Keith. Have
you seen the video? In addition to your comment, I
was just dad and she wall it. Well, all right,
I will.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
A blast of cold air is about the head our
country comic and it's already here.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Not a meteorologist, but Mark Mayfield explains.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Forecasters say a low pressure system is moving south, bringing
Arctic air from Canada with it. That's going to result
in much colder temperatures in the central, eastern, and southern
portions of the country that could last through next week.
Some areas could see heavy snow or dangerous windshills, and
parts of the South could experience some freezing temperatures that
could threaten citrus crops. About five million people in several
(15:25):
states are under winter weather alerts a Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Officials are closer to identifying who exactly was the cyber
truck Vegas. I don't call it a terrorist assassin, a suicide.
Who was Well, We're getting closer, Brian Shook as more
Road to.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
The White House. Twenty twenty four. Officials say military identification
and firearms were found inside the cyber truck that exploded
outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The
driver inside is believed to have been Matthew Allen Livel's Burger,
although Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin mcmayhill said it's too early
(16:04):
to confirm that information.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
To subject inside.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Wasn't able to be removed for a very long period
of time because he was burnt beyond recognition.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
So he was burnt beyond recognition, but miraculously his military
identification was just fine.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, gimmick this up.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Hey, everybody's John Ford Coley of England, Dan and john
Ford Coley and my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You can listen to your morning show live on the
air or streaming live on your iHeart app Monday through
Friday from three to six Pacific, five to eighth Central,
and six to nine Eastern on great radio stations like
Top six fifty KSTE and Sacramento or one oh four nine.
The Patriot in Saint Louis had Impact Radio one oh
five nine and twelve fifty WHDZ in Tampa, Florida. Sure
(16:59):
hope you can join us live and make us a
part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Porters you know would be the ones to turn against him.
I think with Donald Trump and Mike Johnson and lockstep together,
I don't think they're going to have a problem getting
all Republicans to vote for Mike Johnson. And if they do,
he'll get the gavel. If they don't have much room
because the House is so close, if everybody votes for
(17:22):
Hakeem on the Democrat side, they're going to need every
Republican to vote for Mike Johnson, so some business Republicans
will have control of the House. Who gets control of
the gavel will be decided Today. The FBI has disrupted
an alleged plot to kill employees at a pro Israeli
organization on the first night of Hanukkah, and President Biden
reiterates that there are no links between Wednesday's attack.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
In New Orleans and Las Vegas as of now.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Good segue into Roy O'Neil, your national correspondent is taking
a look at both these cases to see if there's
a link. Good morning Rory, Yeah, good morning Michael. A
lot of things. Well, we did this yesterday, right, so
this is twenty four hours old. We knew that both
were Army veterans, both were stationed or came from the
same North Carolina Army base. We don't know that they
(18:09):
knew each other. We don't know that they have been
communicating together. But that's a lot of links. So where
do we stand twenty four hours later?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Well, this was also the New Orleans attack in particular,
was motivated by religion, right and fanaticism, and we're not
seeing any element of that in the Las Vegas case,
which was a suicide. Really and now was it really
an attack on the building, because this was in Vegas.
It was a trained Green Beret who, if you wanted to,
(18:41):
could have done a whole lot of damage. But I
just want to put together this amateurish bunch of fireworks,
some camping fuel and set the truck on fire. Was
he just trying to cover up the scene of a
suicide and wasn't really an attack on the building or Vegas?
And then you compare that to what happened in New Orleans.
Obviously that was very different, and that was an effort
to inflict terror.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Rory's on this show because he's one of the best
of what he does, and he doesn't fall for this
kind of stuff. But you must experience what I experienced.
Sometimes there's be unfair, it'd be biased to call it
a narrative. But there's what the mainstream media is saying,
and then there's what's going on on the Internet. And
sometimes it's like a matrix and you don't know why
which is right. In this case, you've got a disfigured body,
(19:26):
burnt beyond recognition, yet we have a name and somehow
his identification that wasn't harming the fire, So they're going
off on that on the internet. On the other one,
you have the clear Islamist motivation. And then we got
some reporter in yoga pants with the door still busted
down from the FBI going through his home back in
(19:48):
Texas and she's literally showing her his caran going through
I mean, what would be a trove of I think
evidence and important information.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Why does she have access to this?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Minuti Larty, you can understand why the a lot of
this is going the internet way. I mean, we couldn't
have more in competence and or fuel for this kind
of conspiracy stuff with both of these cases.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Well right, but it's also pretty remarkable what we were
talking about yesterday. At this time, we were concerned about
other people that may have been helping in the New
Orleans attack. We were concerned that there were people accomplices
who had gotten away and might be preparing to attack
the Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And then we realized that.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Ah, when they released the information, they say, we have
the video of this guy planting the IEDs in two
separate locations. So that's how we can rule out that
there were accomplices here. Add that to the Facebook videos
that he posted sort of describing what he was doing
and why and the motivation behind it helped to pretty
much put a bow on that case.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
They still don't know the point of radicalization.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
That's still something that's being investigated, however, And the Vegas case,
again seems to be a little bit more Why that location,
Why that's a bit of a mystery.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's interesting you bring that up, because everybody's piecing together.
But apparently from a step brother, we find out that,
like all of them, they grew up in a Muslim family.
He apparently had some marital issues, went through a divorce,
came back to Islam, unbeknownst to them, a more radical
brand of Islam. So we're kind of piecing some of
(21:25):
that together. I thought of all the I mean, you
can't get stranger then some no name reporter in yoga
pants walking through a crime scene hours after a terrorist attack.
But the second would be down in New Orleans, where
you have an Kirkpatrick bizarrely admitting that she was unaware
of sidewalk barriers. This is where I was with you
twenty four hours ago. I was like, we'll removed those barriers.
(21:48):
Now suddenly she's introducing the barriers as a way of
assuring everybody they're safe going to the sugar Bowl today,
as if they.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Just found them.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
The technology was just invented or just arrived and was
parachuted in. They had these barriers and someone took them down.
Now they're putting them up. Why were they ever taken down?
That would seemingly be an obvious question.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Absolutely, Yeah, a lot more questions about that security perimeter,
what standards they had in place or didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, so a lot of but you know, there were
still other.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Multiple access points there which are obviously all now under
review going into the super Bowl that's coming up. But
clearly that was a lapse of security at that site,
but really the whole area and may need to rethink
when you try to have this open street perfect rethink,
you know, you know, the permanent things that come right
(22:39):
on the ground, made a cement like we have in DC.
Any Friday night or Saturday night, they closed Bourbon Street
and it's wall to wall people.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
This should probably be made permanent. But you had the
temporary ones and somebody you could find out who took
them down and then put them back up. That person
should not continue the other job, because that's what we
saw was just this derelection of duty and lack of focus.
And I think, you know, I'm thinking of inauguration and
a national championship that are going to coincide in the
(23:08):
same day. We've got super Bowls, we got a lot
of big, challenging events, and here I'm watching this charade
of incompetence in New Orleans let alone, some might say,
extends to the FBI, to Homeland Security, all the way
to the President who's jokingly talking about Super Bowls on
I better stop this damn thing. Are They're gonna get mad,
(23:30):
you know, like it's like it's funny when people are
burying young people. After this tragedy, We've got some big
challenges ahead and if nothing else, Las Vegas and New
Orleans prove we're not really up to them, or we
better get up to them real fast.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, we certainly have been. We dropped our guard since
nine to eleven. Absolutely. Rory O'Neal, great reporting is gonna
be back in the third hour as well. Thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I mentioned earlier that we are going to interrupt this
broadcast for a just a real life moment. Maybe that's
the way two things kind of collided. One. I was
looking down at a publication it said, why Christian radio
keeps growing, People are hungry for hope and encouragement.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I don't know when it happened.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I don't know when the media got sucked in to
vicious partisan inside the beltwayh fighting, but they did, starting
with Talk TV at night on cable, and I think
it's somewhat spread and infected into talk radio, and at
some point talk radio became a part of the problem
instead of what it always used to be a part
(24:36):
of the solution. Hopefully we're addressing that in the difference
of this show. At least that's my hope. But you
can't play all this US versus them and hate. There
is no fulfillment in hate. There's no unity in hate.
People are craving hope, encouragement, and love. So that was
(25:04):
in the back of my mind. Didn't really want to
do a segment on it. And then an old friend,
my air conditioning guy. I don't even know how he
has this audio clip. I don't even know if I'm
legal to play it, but it's an old clip of
me and Gwen on another station, and I guess I
was going into a commercial, but I started by telling
this little story and Gwen one night we were having
a intimate conversation, as we do with Doug girls. That's
(25:27):
the only time they really open up and speak from
the heart. This is something I encourage all young parents
to do. That thirty minutes before going to bed is sacred.
Talk about the day, talk about God, talk about family,
talk about the future, talk about death, talk about whatever
they want to talk about, because if you establish.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
At a young age, it becomes just treasure time.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Well, the particular story was what kind of a person
they want to marry, And of course my daughter Anna
was saying, I want to marry somebody just like dad,
only I wanted to be really muscular with tattoos. And
of course she was describing Chad, who was our air
conditioning guy, who she had given a love note to
once and we're still friends and I treasure him. But
(26:08):
like all of you listening, we all go to bed
at night because it doesn't come with any kind of
a handbook, right. I don't think there's any parent that
thinks they got it down, and the one that does
is probably making the most mistakes. Could you read enough
books and how to parent and know how to parent?
I mean, we all wondered did we do it right?
It goes by so fast, and it's funny. He would
(26:31):
say that that's me on the air when my girls
are like five telling a story, and now they're twenty,
they're women, And to this day it's what I love
the most about my life. One'll come in at night
Andrew and iron bed television's on, want'll come in, pause,
then the other comes, Then the other comes, and a
(26:53):
couple of cats come, then the dog come. Our whole
family is in my bedroom almost every night. And there
is nothing, no matter how good these streaming services are,
ever on that TV that's more entertaining or more important
of what's going on in that room. And it's my
favorite visit of the day. And it didn't dawn on
me till he sent this. If you're sitting wondering, do
(27:17):
you why don't my kids ever talk to me? Well,
it may have had something to do with did you
make time to talk to them first? And I always
I didn't know what I was doing as a father.
I just knew how to love and love unconditionally and
always keep them a priority. Radio never became more important
to them. Earning money never became more important. They don't
(27:37):
need money, they don't need those toys they're begging for.
They need a father that loves them. And so that
much I did right, And having lived and looking back,
I want to remind you if you have young kids
right now, that time, right before they go to bed,
Oh sacred sees it, they will talk. And if you
(28:00):
do it young, and I can tell you twenty years later,
we did this throughout their life. And at twenty now
the subjects have changed. We're not talking about what kind
of man you marry. We're talking about what kind of
guy that he just broke up with.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So does she get muscles and tats?
Speaker 8 (28:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
But she found eight and then broke up with them.
And I, like in Arthur the movie, I cried, Oh
I loved this kid. Oh that was the one I've
been praying for. And you know what his last words were,
I don't want to lose you. This was a guy
so handsome, loved sports, athletic, gonna be a doctor, loved God, carried,
(28:38):
wouldn't let her carry anything, would let her pay for anging.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I was like, this is what I've been praying for them. Well,
he make them. He's too nice, he's boring me, He
make him back. No, gonna be somebody like Chad. I'm
telling you, it's gonna be Chad. After all, we're gonna
go full circum as a message of God.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
There's a muscular tattooed guy coming home, probably from.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
This trip they're on. This is your morning. Show with
Michael del Chono the fust. Good morning from the flight deck.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Beautiful blue skies are presently passing through twenty thousand square feet.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Temperatures on the ground there cold. We got a blast
over weather. Actually, like much of the country.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
We'll have you on the ground with the John Decker
here momentarily welcome aboard. ATYI says there is no link
between Wednesday's attack in New Orleans and the Las Vegas explosion.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
As of yet, Donald.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Trump, President elect, planning to hold a big, huge rally
in our nation's capital.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Republicans have controlled the House, but who gets the gavel?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
On that note, we turned to the only man who
wears yoga pants while playing tennis, White House correspondent and
Supreme Court bar attorney John Decker.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Good morning, Hey, good morning to you.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Hope you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Happy Friday. Friday.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Big vote today as it relates to the speakership, we
know that one House Republican is a no. That's Thomas
Massey of Kentucky. Nothing can change his mind on that front.
And because of the very narrow majority that Republicans will
have in the beginning part of the one hundred nineteen Congress,
if Mike Johnson wants to be the next speaker. He
(30:15):
can only afford to lose one additional vote. And that's
the reason why it's going to be really interesting when
that vote takes place at noon today.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It's one of those that you ever been in the
like at the at the Kroger or whatever your grocery
store is. You know, a couple of guys, a couple
of a wide vehicle and they parked a little too
clay and say, it looks like it's gonna be tight,
but I think I can squeeze in. That's how he's
got to park this today. There is no room for air.
I think what he has going for him though, is
that Donald Trump won. So if there's gonna be any
grand standing from the far right of the party, uh,
(30:46):
there's no space between Mike Johnson and Donald Trump throughout
the campaign and sense so that would tend to favor him.
But all right, so this is a tight parking place.
What do you see happening?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
I think that's the reason I'm going to be in
the House chamber today when that vote takes place. I
was in the House chamber for all fifteen rounds of voting.
When Republicans ultimately chose Kevin McCarthy, I can't tell you
whether it's going to be on the first round. I
can't tell you whether Mike Johnson's going to make it.
They're eight House Republicans to keep your eye on, and
I'm going to give you their names alphabetically because that's
(31:21):
how they do the vote. And so if you know
they're going to be a vote against Mike Johnson, you'll
know as the vote takes place whether he's made it,
whether he's secured enough votes to be the next House Speaker.
Andy Biggs of Arizona, Tim Burchett from Tennessee, Eric Berlinson
from Missouri, Andy Harris from Maryland, Ralph Norman from South Carolina,
(31:42):
Scott Perry from Pennsylvania, Chip Roy from Texas, and Victoria
Sparts from Indiana. Those are the Republicans to pay the
most attention to today when that vote takes place.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, joining us.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
All right, So, and if not, I can't imagine the
Republicans would want to open this can of worms again.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
It hasn't been a can of worms that has played
well for them well.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
If he can't secure it. Where would we go? What
other names are being kicked around. That's the part that
makes me think he's probably going to secure it. I
don't hear anybody really in the wind that they would.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Prefer Yeah, there's no plan B. Having said that, they.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Didn't have one the last time either.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
They didn't have one the last time. That's exactly right, Michael.
And that's the reason why some you know, someone can
come up, you know, on the side rail essentially and
become the next House speaker. We saw that happen with
Mike Johnson. No one could have foreseen that he would
be the House speaker after Kevin McCarthy was ousted. And
(32:47):
you know, Jim Jordan, he's a possibility, you know, if
if for whatever reason, Republicans decide to throw Mike Johnson
over the side of the rails. But you know, look,
I think that the focus is on trying to get
him through this process, you know, the certification process of
the presidential election January sixth, that's Monday. You can't do
(33:09):
that certification process in the House unless you have a
House speaker.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
We'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Have a great weekend, John and look forward to talking
to you next week.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Thanks Michael.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show

Speaker 1 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. You said you could
never go home again. They couldn't be more wrong. It
took me sixty years, but I'm back home. In August
of nineteen sixty four, I entered this earth at Saint
Joseph's Hospital in Flint, Michigan. This week, we welcome nine
ten am superstation WFDF, Detroit, Michigan, to your morning show family.
(00:57):
Welcome Detroit. It's good to have you home again. This
is your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. I'm Michael. Can't have this show
without you. It's named after you so many ways you
can be a part of it now, the least of
which is if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
There's the talkback, but the Big John is using fun.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Know when I find a real joke that the FBI
won't release the manifest though from the Nashville shooter, but
they will let some journalists wearing yoga pants wander through
this terrorists apartment.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know, I may have said that word for word
exactly an hour ago, but I like it so much
better when he says that just sounds better and the
yoga pants st it reminds me.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know, this is the add nature that I have.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So here I am on the radio talking to all
of you, and what's going through my mind is the
yoga pants.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, this no name reporter in yoga pants is.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
In the terrorists home ours after terrorist attack. As he's
showing the FBI documents and search warrants, she's going through
his karan and I'm like, is anybody preserving this as
yoga pants place of it? But all I can think
of is the yoga pants, and I'm thinking of curly and.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
City slickers.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Remember he's sitting out Jack Palance is only good with
a cigarette. Jack Palnce really makes you want to smoke.
You did one arm push ups. There she was standing
in the sun, showing everything the way God made her.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
The yoga pants were they are vile? Can we get
beyond yoga pants? I mean, I mean put a little
more effort into it. I never get up and think
what can I wear skin tight? To leave nothing to
people's imagination of this horrific body that I'm saying. If
men would start wearing them, they would go away quickly.
(02:56):
You can always email Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com.
Jason and Love says, I listened today while trucking through
Middle Tennessee. Great show. And then I just naturally responded, well,
thank you. Let's keep on trucking together in twenty twenty five.
And then I couldn't help but think about how I
didn't get confirmed in the Catholic Church. What should we
(03:17):
tell that story? Well, yeah, I heard this is what's
fun about living long enough? You know you amass all
these experiences. So I had two older brothers to make.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Sure we're going to go ahead. How do you know
it's not gonna bomb?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So anyway, I had two older brothers, one of which
was more like a father to me. And I guess
another way, you know, you idolize, you worship. He was
doing everything first everything, you know. The way you can
cut to the chase is like when you have a
big Little League game. I wasn't looking to see if
my father was there, and he usually wasn't, but I
was looking at my brother was there because he was
(03:53):
like my dad. So and then there's a blind trust
that goes along with that, you know, like when he says, hey,
I know they're out of town.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Let's go in their house and have a look around.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Okay, I could go wrong, or look, you're eventually gonna
try marijuana. Better you do it with me. Come on,
let's go for a walk. You know, stuff like that.
You trust act right. So he had this shirt that
he always wore and it said mother and then the
(04:28):
word trucker and it had this good looking woman getting
out of a big, you know, eighteen wheel truck cab
and she was wearing short shorts with high heels. But
I didn't know it's the kid, I really didn't. So
I remember, you know, it was time to go to Catechism,
and I was out shooting baskets. So I come in
(04:50):
and I change and that T shirt's on the ground,
so I throw it on with my jeans and I head.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Off at the catechism.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'm in Chicago, and I have to walk all the
way to our lady of wayside and it was cold,
so I had.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
My coat on. I'm not thinking anything of it. You
should have thought better. I get to the church. I
get to my catechism class. What do I do.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I unzipped my jacket, I put it in the cubicle
and I sit down. The nun walks in. Now I
don't even know what she's talking about. What are you wearing?
And all I could think of was a T shirt,
my brother's T shirt. I got thrown out and I
was never confirmed. Wow, no kidd Now, I'm serious. I
(05:34):
do have John three sixteen in Galatians to twenty to
feel confirmed by the Holy Spirit that I'm saying. And
then there's nothing negative about the Catholic Church whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But I mean she was right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I think there was a little harsh, But I mean
I guess I could have gone back and finished. Then
we moved and I never did. And wow became But yeah,
all because of his T shirt. And so then this
trucker writes and I said, well, let's truck on together
in twenty twenty five, and all I could think of
was that T shirt. And now I'm still not confirmed.
Every tell you about the time we went to a
(06:05):
church here in Franklin, and it was a tradition. We'd
go there on Christmas Eve, then we'd come home, we'd
make cookies. Well, apparently I'm benown to us. The church
had a schism and it became a different church, and
the pastor was gone. And so we went to go
to church as we always did, you know, on Christmas
Eve at four o'clock and there was no service.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So we're like in a jam.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And I looked at it and said, Andrea, the only
place we can go is the Catholic Church. So I
get the kids on in the kitchen. I give a
crash catechism. Of course, they're going to say the Body
of Christ. You hold out your hand or you stick
out your tongue, and you say, m men, I'm giving
them all the Christ. So we get to the service,
and you know, they're kind of following my lead, when
to stand, when to kneel under hit And then it
(06:48):
comes time for communion, and I go first, Body of Christ.
Amen go back, because commune is a big deal for me.
I love to goslutely. I mean, I have Body of
Christ to me, and I'm back. I'm praying, I'm thinking,
I'm doing all listen, and I hear a commotion and
apparently at the front front of the church, and it
went after me and the priest wet body of Christ,
(07:09):
and she went, thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Do what she asked, have you had your first totally communion,
which then a crowd starts together, give us that we
shoulp out.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The side candles at home to make cookies. Was trucker.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Now, I would like to say to that truck if
he's listening right now, great name to man love.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What were you gonna?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We decided on after watching Anderson Cooper and I can
never remember the other guy's name the hosts because you
know you'r's eve on CNM. Yeah, but he called him sweet.
He kept calling Anderson sweetie, and I thought you should
call me something. Then you you arrived at sweet Toe,
sweet Toe, sugar.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
This is man love.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But I just wanted him to know you you don't
have to listen just when you're driving through town, we're
on iHeart, But first of all, we're a nationwide We're
on a station whatever city you're driving through. But you
can always listen on your iHeartRadio app anytime. But thanks
for that great note. Keep on trucking, all right. I
don't know how I went into that. I'm always giving
this simple lesson. We don't fail in life. This is
(08:13):
just this is just a teachable moment for all of
us to reflect on. Usually we don't fail in life
because we don't know what to do. Most of our
failures or we don't do what we know. Isn't it
that way with our diets? Isn't that way with exercise?
I mean, think of all the things, do we really
I guess there was a time maybe, But does anybody
(08:34):
really need to put on the side of a cigarette
pack a warning.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
May cause cancer and breathing bras? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The Marlborough Man never said anything about cancer.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He said be careful on your horse, but never anything about.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
So we fail because we don't do what we know. Well,
here's a classic example. Longtime Democrat strategist AH James Carvell
does this big op ed piece where he finally has
to admit I was wrong that Kamala Harris was gonna win. Yeah,
you were wrong, but look at why he was wrong.
Follow the story. Democratic strategist James Carvel conceded in an
(09:10):
obed piece that he was wrong about the election after
repeatedly predicting the Vice president Kamala Harris would win, and
that the results boiled down to the economy stupid. I
thought Kamala would win.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And while I'm sure we Democrats can argue that the
loss wasn't a landslide, or take a little solace and
the house performance, the most important thing for us now
is to face that we were wrong to take action
on prevailing and why we lost for one simple reason.
(09:48):
It was, it is, and it always will be the
economy stupid. The famous phrase he himself is that not
the greatest example. If we don't feel because we don't know,
fail because we don't do what we already know. Throughout
(10:08):
this campaign, everybody was getting their I I was thinking
of the poker analogy, and I could be a good
poker player. I choose not to poker because play poker,
because I choose not to gamble. But if I did,
I can tell you, and if there's anybody listening, it's
a good poker player. The more you focus on your hand,
the more you're set up to be beat. You're not
(10:29):
playing the cards, you're playing the other players. This guy
took his eyes and put it on his own hand
and started believing his own narratives. These people create the
narratives that the media play, and then the man who
coins the phrases the economy stupid, eventually ignores the economy
(10:54):
and buys the lies and the narrative and believe she's
gonna win. That's why I was sitting here. I gotta
tell you. People say, don't ever do this. I do
it all the time. And if, by the way, if
I tell you, and I did yesterday George is gonna
beat Notre Dame, you should have run out and bet
Notre Dame. I am absolutely wrong about sports every single time,
(11:17):
but I'm never wrong about politics. We're gonna talk to
John Dekker later next half hour. John thought I was crazy.
He had Kamala Harris winning. I said, Donald Trump's gonna
win three hundred and twelve electoral voices.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Really three hundred and twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, three hundred and twelve because I never put my
eyes on my own hand. I never took my eyes
off the ball. It reminds me of that. You know,
that same brother the game of that T shirt. He
does collectible coins, and I was like, how do you
do this. There's a million coins from over hundreds and
hundreds of years. There's so many counterfeits out there. How
(11:52):
could you possibly study all these fake coins to know
what's real and what's fake? And he looked at me,
he goes, I don't. I said, you don't, Well, then
how do you protect your investors? How do you protect yourself?
I know what the real coin looks like. I study
the real coin, then when I see the fake I
notice it. That's a powerful lesson here, and that's why
(12:18):
we kept Laser focused on the voters, not the narrative,
on the economy, not the narrative, on the border, not
the narrative. Carvel doesn't get it. He doesn't even remember
a phrase he coined and lost sight of what he
already knew. But the truth is, if they really want
(12:40):
to get to the why you once again underestimated the
intelligence of the American people, kind of like yoga pants
walking through the terrorists home people can smell around a
mile away. You may be thinking you've gotten good at
controlling and lying and narrow devising with the American people
(13:03):
and a government up for them buy They still got
their eye on the players.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Not the hand, and they're not buying it. That's why
you were wrong, stupid. It's your morning show with Michael
del Chino. Are you ready for a little blast of truth? Sure?
Can you handle the truth? Are you sure you can
handle the right? I can handle the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
There are a lot I'll leave it at that, maybe
all most of all, But there are a lot of
talk show hosts who love themselves. This show is named
your Morning Show because we love you now. Jerry Lewis
always had his kids, my kids. My kids kept his
passion and his focus. I have my truckers.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Suffer, not Keith the La Trucker under the good morning everybody. Keith,
iHeartRadio West Coast Trucker. Happy New Year's. I think everybody's
missing the point.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
The obvious point is the only reason that reporter.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Got to go in as she was wearing yoga pants. Oh,
there's no way for her to sneak out any evidence.
Oh it's about blast.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm telling you in four. No, there was one other
time I did nights. I think it would have been
nineteen eighty four eighty five on WTIX in New Orleans.
I did the late night Oldie Show, and I mean
I messed with people and I had I had listeners
that were like cast members.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They were absolutely did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, and then but here, I gotta tell you, in
forty three years, this is my favorite audience ever.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You guys, you're the star of this show. Keith. Have
you seen the video? In addition to your comment, I
was just dad and she wall it. Well, all right,
I will.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
A blast of cold air is about the head our
country comic and it's already here.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Not a meteorologist, but Mark Mayfield explains.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Forecasters say a low pressure system is moving south, bringing
Arctic air from Canada with it. That's going to result
in much colder temperatures in the central, eastern, and southern
portions of the country that could last through next week.
Some areas could see heavy snow or dangerous windshills, and
parts of the South could experience some freezing temperatures that
could threaten citrus crops. About five million people in several
(15:25):
states are under winter weather alerts a Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Officials are closer to identifying who exactly was the cyber
truck Vegas. I don't call it a terrorist assassin, a suicide.
Who was Well, We're getting closer, Brian Shook as more
Road to.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
The White House. Twenty twenty four. Officials say military identification
and firearms were found inside the cyber truck that exploded
outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The
driver inside is believed to have been Matthew Allen Livel's Burger,
although Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin mcmayhill said it's too early
(16:04):
to confirm that information.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
To subject inside.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Wasn't able to be removed for a very long period
of time because he was burnt beyond recognition.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
So he was burnt beyond recognition, but miraculously his military
identification was just fine.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, gimmick this up.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Hey, everybody's John Ford Coley of England, Dan and john

Porters you know would be the ones to turn against him.
I think with Donald Trump and Mike Johnson and lockstep together,
I don't think they're going to have a problem getting
all Republicans to vote for Mike Johnson. And if they do,
he'll get the gavel. If they don't have much room
because the House is so close, if everybody votes for
(17:22):
Hakeem on the Democrat side, they're going to need every
Republican to vote for Mike Johnson, so some business Republicans
will have control of the House. Who gets control of
the gavel will be decided Today. The FBI has disrupted
an alleged plot to kill employees at a pro Israeli
organization on the first night of Hanukkah, and President Biden
reiterates that there are no links between Wednesday's attack.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
In New Orleans and Las Vegas as of now.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Good segue into Roy O'Neil, your national correspondent is taking
a look at both these cases to see if there's
a link. Good morning Rory, Yeah, good morning Michael. A
lot of things. Well, we did this yesterday, right, so
this is twenty four hours old. We knew that both
were Army veterans, both were stationed or came from the
same North Carolina Army base. We don't know that they
(18:09):
knew each other. We don't know that they have been
communicating together. But that's a lot of links. So where
do we stand twenty four hours later?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Well, this was also the New Orleans attack in particular,
was motivated by religion, right and fanaticism, and we're not
seeing any element of that in the Las Vegas case,
which was a suicide. Really and now was it really
an attack on the building, because this was in Vegas.
It was a trained Green Beret who, if you wanted to,
(18:41):
could have done a whole lot of damage. But I
just want to put together this amateurish bunch of fireworks,
some camping fuel and set the truck on fire. Was
he just trying to cover up the scene of a
suicide and wasn't really an attack on the building or Vegas?
And then you compare that to what happened in New Orleans.
Obviously that was very different, and that was an effort
to inflict terror.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Rory's on this show because he's one of the best
of what he does, and he doesn't fall for this
kind of stuff. But you must experience what I experienced.
Sometimes there's be unfair, it'd be biased to call it
a narrative. But there's what the mainstream media is saying,
and then there's what's going on on the Internet. And
sometimes it's like a matrix and you don't know why
which is right. In this case, you've got a disfigured body,
(19:26):
burnt beyond recognition, yet we have a name and somehow
his identification that wasn't harming the fire, So they're going
off on that on the internet. On the other one,
you have the clear Islamist motivation. And then we got
some reporter in yoga pants with the door still busted
down from the FBI going through his home back in
(19:48):
Texas and she's literally showing her his caran going through
I mean, what would be a trove of I think
evidence and important information.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Why does she have access to this?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Minuti Larty, you can understand why the a lot of
this is going the internet way. I mean, we couldn't
have more in competence and or fuel for this kind
of conspiracy stuff with both of these cases.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Well right, but it's also pretty remarkable what we were
talking about yesterday. At this time, we were concerned about
other people that may have been helping in the New
Orleans attack. We were concerned that there were people accomplices
who had gotten away and might be preparing to attack
the Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And then we realized that.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Ah, when they released the information, they say, we have
the video of this guy planting the IEDs in two
separate locations. So that's how we can rule out that
there were accomplices here. Add that to the Facebook videos
that he posted sort of describing what he was doing
and why and the motivation behind it helped to pretty
much put a bow on that case.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
They still don't know the point of radicalization.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
That's still something that's being investigated, however, And the Vegas case,
again seems to be a little bit more Why that location,
Why that's a bit of a mystery.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's interesting you bring that up, because everybody's piecing together.
But apparently from a step brother, we find out that,
like all of them, they grew up in a Muslim family.
He apparently had some marital issues, went through a divorce,
came back to Islam, unbeknownst to them, a more radical
brand of Islam. So we're kind of piecing some of
(21:25):
that together. I thought of all the I mean, you
can't get stranger then some no name reporter in yoga
pants walking through a crime scene hours after a terrorist attack.
But the second would be down in New Orleans, where
you have an Kirkpatrick bizarrely admitting that she was unaware
of sidewalk barriers. This is where I was with you
twenty four hours ago. I was like, we'll removed those barriers.
(21:48):
Now suddenly she's introducing the barriers as a way of
assuring everybody they're safe going to the sugar Bowl today,
as if they.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Just found them.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
The technology was just invented or just arrived and was
parachuted in. They had these barriers and someone took them down.
Now they're putting them up. Why were they ever taken down?
That would seemingly be an obvious question.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Absolutely, Yeah, a lot more questions about that security perimeter,
what standards they had in place or didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, so a lot of but you know, there were
still other.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Multiple access points there which are obviously all now under
review going into the super Bowl that's coming up. But
clearly that was a lapse of security at that site,
but really the whole area and may need to rethink
when you try to have this open street perfect rethink,
you know, you know, the permanent things that come right
(22:39):
on the ground, made a cement like we have in DC.
Any Friday night or Saturday night, they closed Bourbon Street
and it's wall to wall people.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
This should probably be made permanent. But you had the
temporary ones and somebody you could find out who took
them down and then put them back up. That person
should not continue the other job, because that's what we
saw was just this derelection of duty and lack of focus.
And I think, you know, I'm thinking of inauguration and
a national championship that are going to coincide in the
(23:08):
same day. We've got super Bowls, we got a lot
of big, challenging events, and here I'm watching this charade
of incompetence in New Orleans let alone, some might say,
extends to the FBI, to Homeland Security, all the way
to the President who's jokingly talking about Super Bowls on
I better stop this damn thing. Are They're gonna get mad,
(23:30):
you know, like it's like it's funny when people are
burying young people. After this tragedy, We've got some big
challenges ahead and if nothing else, Las Vegas and New
Orleans prove we're not really up to them, or we
better get up to them real fast.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, we certainly have been. We dropped our guard since
nine to eleven. Absolutely. Rory O'Neal, great reporting is gonna
be back in the third hour as well. Thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I mentioned earlier that we are going to interrupt this
broadcast for a just a real life moment. Maybe that's
the way two things kind of collided. One. I was
looking down at a publication it said, why Christian radio
keeps growing, People are hungry for hope and encouragement.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I don't know when it happened.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I don't know when the media got sucked in to
vicious partisan inside the beltwayh fighting, but they did, starting
with Talk TV at night on cable, and I think
it's somewhat spread and infected into talk radio, and at
some point talk radio became a part of the problem
instead of what it always used to be a part
(24:36):
of the solution. Hopefully we're addressing that in the difference
of this show. At least that's my hope. But you
can't play all this US versus them and hate. There
is no fulfillment in hate. There's no unity in hate.
People are craving hope, encouragement, and love. So that was
(25:04):
in the back of my mind. Didn't really want to
do a segment on it. And then an old friend,
my air conditioning guy. I don't even know how he
has this audio clip. I don't even know if I'm
legal to play it, but it's an old clip of
me and Gwen on another station, and I guess I
was going into a commercial, but I started by telling
this little story and Gwen one night we were having
a intimate conversation, as we do with Doug girls. That's
(25:27):
the only time they really open up and speak from
the heart. This is something I encourage all young parents
to do. That thirty minutes before going to bed is sacred.
Talk about the day, talk about God, talk about family,
talk about the future, talk about death, talk about whatever
they want to talk about, because if you establish.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
At a young age, it becomes just treasure time.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Well, the particular story was what kind of a person
they want to marry, And of course my daughter Anna
was saying, I want to marry somebody just like dad,
only I wanted to be really muscular with tattoos. And
of course she was describing Chad, who was our air
conditioning guy, who she had given a love note to
once and we're still friends and I treasure him. But
(26:08):
like all of you listening, we all go to bed
at night because it doesn't come with any kind of
a handbook, right. I don't think there's any parent that
thinks they got it down, and the one that does
is probably making the most mistakes. Could you read enough
books and how to parent and know how to parent?
I mean, we all wondered did we do it right?
It goes by so fast, and it's funny. He would
(26:31):
say that that's me on the air when my girls
are like five telling a story, and now they're twenty,
they're women, And to this day it's what I love
the most about my life. One'll come in at night
Andrew and iron bed television's on, want'll come in, pause,
then the other comes, Then the other comes, and a
(26:53):
couple of cats come, then the dog come. Our whole
family is in my bedroom almost every night. And there
is nothing, no matter how good these streaming services are,
ever on that TV that's more entertaining or more important
of what's going on in that room. And it's my
favorite visit of the day. And it didn't dawn on
me till he sent this. If you're sitting wondering, do
(27:17):
you why don't my kids ever talk to me? Well,
it may have had something to do with did you
make time to talk to them first? And I always
I didn't know what I was doing as a father.
I just knew how to love and love unconditionally and
always keep them a priority. Radio never became more important
to them. Earning money never became more important. They don't
(27:37):
need money, they don't need those toys they're begging for.
They need a father that loves them. And so that
much I did right, And having lived and looking back,
I want to remind you if you have young kids
right now, that time, right before they go to bed,
Oh sacred sees it, they will talk. And if you
(28:00):
do it young, and I can tell you twenty years later,
we did this throughout their life. And at twenty now
the subjects have changed. We're not talking about what kind
of man you marry. We're talking about what kind of
guy that he just broke up with.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So does she get muscles and tats?
Speaker 8 (28:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
But she found eight and then broke up with them.
And I, like in Arthur the movie, I cried, Oh
I loved this kid. Oh that was the one I've
been praying for. And you know what his last words were,
I don't want to lose you. This was a guy
so handsome, loved sports, athletic, gonna be a doctor, loved God, carried,
(28:38):
wouldn't let her carry anything, would let her pay for anging.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I was like, this is what I've been praying for them. Well,
he make them. He's too nice, he's boring me, He
make him back. No, gonna be somebody like Chad. I'm
telling you, it's gonna be Chad. After all, we're gonna
go full circum as a message of God.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
There's a muscular tattooed guy coming home, probably from.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
This trip they're on. This is your morning. Show with
Michael del Chono the fust. Good morning from the flight deck.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Beautiful blue skies are presently passing through twenty thousand square feet.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Temperatures on the ground there cold. We got a blast
over weather. Actually, like much of the country.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
We'll have you on the ground with the John Decker
here momentarily welcome aboard. ATYI says there is no link
between Wednesday's attack in New Orleans and the Las Vegas explosion.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
As of yet, Donald.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Trump, President elect, planning to hold a big, huge rally
in our nation's capital.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Republicans have controlled the House, but who gets the gavel?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
On that note, we turned to the only man who
wears yoga pants while playing tennis, White House correspondent and
Supreme Court bar attorney John Decker.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Good morning, Hey, good morning to you.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Hope you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Happy Friday. Friday.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Big vote today as it relates to the speakership, we
know that one House Republican is a no. That's Thomas
Massey of Kentucky. Nothing can change his mind on that front.
And because of the very narrow majority that Republicans will
have in the beginning part of the one hundred nineteen Congress,
if Mike Johnson wants to be the next speaker. He
(30:15):
can only afford to lose one additional vote. And that's
the reason why it's going to be really interesting when
that vote takes place at noon today.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It's one of those that you ever been in the
like at the at the Kroger or whatever your grocery
store is. You know, a couple of guys, a couple
of a wide vehicle and they parked a little too
clay and say, it looks like it's gonna be tight,
but I think I can squeeze in. That's how he's
got to park this today. There is no room for air.
I think what he has going for him though, is
that Donald Trump won. So if there's gonna be any
grand standing from the far right of the party, uh,
(30:46):
there's no space between Mike Johnson and Donald Trump throughout
the campaign and sense so that would tend to favor him.
But all right, so this is a tight parking place.
What do you see happening?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
I think that's the reason I'm going to be in
the House chamber today when that vote takes place. I
was in the House chamber for all fifteen rounds of voting.
When Republicans ultimately chose Kevin McCarthy, I can't tell you
whether it's going to be on the first round. I
can't tell you whether Mike Johnson's going to make it.
They're eight House Republicans to keep your eye on, and
I'm going to give you their names alphabetically because that's
(31:21):
how they do the vote. And so if you know
they're going to be a vote against Mike Johnson, you'll
know as the vote takes place whether he's made it,
whether he's secured enough votes to be the next House Speaker.
Andy Biggs of Arizona, Tim Burchett from Tennessee, Eric Berlinson
from Missouri, Andy Harris from Maryland, Ralph Norman from South Carolina,
(31:42):
Scott Perry from Pennsylvania, Chip Roy from Texas, and Victoria
Sparts from Indiana. Those are the Republicans to pay the
most attention to today when that vote takes place.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, joining us.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
All right, So, and if not, I can't imagine the
Republicans would want to open this can of worms again.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
It hasn't been a can of worms that has played
well for them well.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
If he can't secure it. Where would we go? What
other names are being kicked around. That's the part that
makes me think he's probably going to secure it. I
don't hear anybody really in the wind that they would.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Prefer Yeah, there's no plan B. Having said that, they.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Didn't have one the last time either.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
They didn't have one the last time. That's exactly right, Michael.
And that's the reason why some you know, someone can
come up, you know, on the side rail essentially and
become the next House speaker. We saw that happen with
Mike Johnson. No one could have foreseen that he would
be the House speaker after Kevin McCarthy was ousted. And
(32:47):
you know, Jim Jordan, he's a possibility, you know, if
if for whatever reason, Republicans decide to throw Mike Johnson
over the side of the rails. But you know, look,
I think that the focus is on trying to get
him through this process, you know, the certification process of
the presidential election January sixth, that's Monday. You can't do
(33:09):
that certification process in the House unless you have a
House speaker.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
We'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Have a great weekend, John and look forward to talking
to you next week.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Thanks Michael.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
