Speaker 1 (00:00):

your morning show live, even take us along with you
on the drive to work. We can be heard on
great radio stations like one oh four nine The Patriot

and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News Talk five
fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're always grateful you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Enjoy the podcast two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Giltry.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, if you fell asleep last night, you're a much
better man than I. I couldn't fall asleep well with
the flu if I wanted to. But until the Lions
had secured their bye Lions big winners at home thirty
one to nine over the Vikings for the Lions and
the Chiefs. It's a bye week for the rest of
the NFL. While card playoff games are all set. We'll
(01:02):
go over those for you a little bit later on Showgun.
Being named the year's best television drama. The Golden Globe Awards.
Congress set to meet today to certify the results of
the twenty twenty four election, and the thirty ninth president
remains lie in repose at the Carter Center in Georgia.
Good morning, it's eight minutes after the hour. I am
Michael del Jorno and this is your morning show. One
(01:24):
chance to live This Monday, January the sixth, the year
of our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
One chance to understand it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Roy O'Neil is joining us the morning in the funeral
for Jimmy Carter reposed today. He'll lie in state at
the Capitol Building later this week as America remembers a
really amazing guy, more so than President. I mean that
could be debated among partisans, but no one can debate
a man of faith and a good family man.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Indeed, and really the services the state services started on Saturday,
But as you said, he now lies and repose at
the Carter Center there in Atlanta. Tomorrow he will be
taken to the US Capitol Build into Lion State. Both
of those events are public and mourners are welcome to
go and pay their respects. The funeral service will be
(02:16):
held on Thursday at the National Cathedral. President Biden to
deliver one of the eulogies, but all five presidents, the living,
current and former presidents, will all be gathered at the
National Cathedral on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I think I mentioned this to John Dekker on Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Not you, but I mean think about to put into perspective,
the oldest living president now is the city President Joe Biden.
He'll deliver the eulogy. How can we best remember Jimmy Carter?
I don't know that I would. You know, I can
tell you as a person of faith, there are a
lot of things that distract you in the course of
a lifetime, things that get your eyes off of what
(02:55):
you believe and doing and actually living it and on
to other thing. This is a guy that was steadfast
and his faith was always in service to others.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's kind of how I'm going to remember him.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Even though he's not one of my favorite presidents, he's
a great example of faith.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
And never I don't think anyone questioned his motives. Yeah,
you know, in terms of he was a man of faith,
and you think that he was elected with coming out
of Watergate, coming out of Vietnam, that he was elected
to sort of bring a fresh perspective, and obviously things got.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Away from him when he got there.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Was it bad timing for him or was he a
part of what led to some of the economic failures?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I think for me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And being as kind as I can, and the timing,
the meddling in the Iranian election, the fall of the Shaw,
the rise of the Iyahtola, the hostage crisis that ended
his presidency and began the Reagan Revolution, and really also
began the Islamic Islami Republic of Iran, which is to
this day probably the most predictable threat to the world.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That would probably be his biggest mistake.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, and then you lead into the oil crisis, the
economic problems, the high inflation and record high interest rates,
and obviously that it teed up the Reagan Revolution at
the same time as the two of them being you know,
quite dynamically opposing figures, really and one much more soft
spoken than the other. Yeah, pretty remarkable, the way that
(04:27):
you'll you almost need the yin and the yang right exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, and you'll be following this as a news person
and it'll be fascinating because today the certification of the
twenty twenty four election results. So you have an outgoing president,
you have an incoming president for a second time, and
one lying in state at the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's kind of an interesting time for all to fall in.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It's going to be an incredible week in Washington, one
of the most for the security concerns are off the
charts because of all the things that are happening this week.
And President Biden, Yeah, and Biden in New Orleans today
and Kamala Harris sort of find the election results at
the capital today and then you go off to the funeral,
the Supreme Court and the TikTok case the Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It goes on and on.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's a lot of I think, I think you've got
a lot of stuff to talk about this week.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Good to have you here to explain it. All right,
Roy O'Neil will be back in the third hour.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
We'll talk about investigators in both New Orleans and Las
Vegas have been working all weekend long.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
There are some new details. What are these guys.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I know I'm going to show my age here, but
I've seen the commercials for them. They have these glasses
now that you put them on and looks like you're
just wearing side glasses, work around, but you're really filming
people talk about talk about well, apparently the New Orleans
attacker was in New Orleans before the attack, walking around
with those glasses and take pictures of Bondish.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So we'll give you the very latest done that in
our top five stories of Dan Roy. Will be back
with all the details in the third hour. Hey, we
want to welcome aboard. We just will make this our
fiftieth nine ten am, the news talk superstation in Detroit, Michigan. Now,
I know what people are gonna accuse me of. Please
don't play games with me while I'm on cold medicine. Okay,
(06:12):
that we're jumping on the Lions bandwagon, and you're absolutely
right we are. And we think Kevin Adell of Adele
Broadcasting for getting us in. He's first of all, he
gets to be number fifty, the big number fifty, huge,
and he gets us in just in time for this
championship run for the Detroit Lions. They took a giant
(06:33):
step last night, made a lot of mistakes. I mean,
if I were to tell you, hey, the Lions won
last night, you'd think offense, they had a couple of
key tournament. It was really the defense. This score does
not reflect what you would have watched last night. I
was a fistfight in Detroit last night. And for the Lions,
they get the division championship, they get the buybe. The
Vikings get a trip to so Far to take on
(06:55):
the Los Angeles Rams. I probably should do this while
I'm doing I don't want to major in sports on
SIME a big news day, but Saturday, CBS three thirty
Chargers Texans. I gotta be honest with you, guys, don't
I don't see a lot of opportunities for upsets unless
you're considering the Commanders an upset over Tampa in Tampa.
(07:16):
If you are, then I'd say the Commanders are the
shoe win best bet for an upset.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I mean Tampa and the Rams may be dogs at
home even though they won their divisions, with Minnesota going
to LA on Monday night, that'll be ESPN seventh Central.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Saturday, we have the Chargers and the Texans Steelers in
the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Sunday we have the Broncos and the Bills, Packers and
the Eagles and the Commanders in Tampa. So the playoffs
are said, don't forget before that, the semi Finals, the
Orange Bowl Thursday night, Penn State, Notre Dame, Friday night,
the Cotton Bowl, Ohio State, and Texas.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh, and don't forget in April on the.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Clock, Well, it was a big victory for the New
England Patriots over the Buffalo Bill's third string that give
the Tennessee Titans the number one overall pick in the
NFL Draft that they most assuredly will spend.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
On the wrong person a factory of stin is like.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
And as I texted our senior Core contributor David Zanati
earlier this weekend, at another hopeless season for the Cleveland
Bronze faded to black as we still don't have a quarterback,
A big bye in sports. Speaking of that famous Jamis
is thirty one today, we'll have birthdays a little bit
later on as well. I think, you know, to me,
(08:41):
there's a lot of news stories today and then there's
a lot of, you know, just kind of underlying stories
that I think are really profound.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
One is that it's really hard to sell inflation.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Really high, to sell cost of living out of reach,
home prices soaring. We saw that in America that led
to a Donald Trump election. Well that's happening in Canada now.
I got to tell you, have you been through Trudeau's
approval ratings. If you thought you can't get lower than
(09:19):
Joe Biden, Oh, yes you can in the prime minister
in Canada, justin Trudeau sixty eight percent disapproval rating. That's
why we're getting the news not just from the Globe
and the Mail, but other sources sighting he is going
(09:39):
to step down and it is expected to come before
the National Caucus meeting on Wednesday. When we did our
New Year's Address, if you really had to sum up
the entire year of twenty twenty four, it was high
cost of living, inflation, very little interest rate relief, a
(10:01):
border crisis, wars expanding not just in the Middle East,
but continuing to rage in the Ukraine, with other players
now involved North Korea having a presence on the ground
in Russia. And then ultimately, policies have consequences. I got
(10:25):
a bust at Jack Kennedy behind me, and he'd always say,
if you can get domestic policy wrong, it'll cost you
a lot of money. You get foreign policy wrong, it'll
cost you a lot of lives. Well, the left has
gotten control, implemented their policies.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And it cost us a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And change came quickly, first in Joe saying bye bye,
then America saying bye bye, Takamala, and then hello to
Donald Trump. That's exactly what's happening to our north in Canada.
Even if if government was to be God, it is
not a god, and it doesn't have the resources to
(11:08):
play God. And every time Americans or Canadians forget there's
a God who will supply our needs according to his
riches in glory and through each other. And we turned
to a centralized government to do it. There's simply not
the resources to pull it off. And in the end,
whether you're America or Canada, you can't spend your way
(11:31):
out of a spending problem. You can't debt your way
out of a debt problem. You can't centralize government control
your way to freedom. For America, we did in an
elective process. And Donald Trump is headed back to the
Oval Office Canada. The Prime Minister, probably by Wednesday at
the latest, will say goodbye as Prime Minister.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino. We can't
have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So if you're listening on that iHeartRadio app, you'll see
a microphone hit it, Make.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
A comment, ask a question.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No more rotting on hold and waiting for a talk
show host. You're immediately a part of the show, so
use that talkback. But you can also email me Michael
D at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We're just waking up. Twenty six after the.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hour, Senator Amy clovashaher says the US capital will be
secure Monday for the certification of the twenty twenty four
presidential election.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
More from Mark Mayfield, appearing on Cena Man's State of
the Union, the Minnesota Democrats said, in the years since
the January the sixth insurrection, officials have upgraded security measures
in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We have, as you note, a new police chief, increase morale,
many hundreds of more officers, and we have a plan
and its strategy in place.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the certification of
the electoral votes for president on Monday, marking the first
time since two thousand and one that a vice president
has presided over the certification of their.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Own election laws.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
A Mark Mayfield well that there were no shenanigans in
the election process, and Republicans and Democrats alike seem to
be optimistic about the new presidency.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
So yeah, I don't think there's a lot of security concerns.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Legislation expanding Social Security benefits for millions of retired Americans
was signed to law by President Biden on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Tammy Trihuilo has more.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Social Security fairness actory moves to federal policies has stopped
employees with public tensions from collecting all of their benefits
under the federal retirement program and lowered benefits for workers'
family members. Biden signed the bill weeks before the end
of his presidency after the Senate voted seventy six to
twenty to pass the law. The increase of benefits under
(13:38):
the new law would be backdated to December of twenty
twenty three, and prior eligible recipients who only received partial
benefits will get a full payment backdating to a year ago.
I'm Tammy Trio.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
A state of emergency is in effect for several Eastern
states as major winter storms are expected to bring some
of the coldest temperatures in the region in over a decade.
Scott Carr has more Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas and Virginia have
all declared states of emergency, while officials in southern states
like Florida and Mississippi our warning of danger is cold.
(14:10):
A blizzard warning is an effect across the region, and
blizzard conditions are possible today from Kansas to West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
The storm is expected to dump.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Heavy snow on Virginia, Baltimore, and Washington d C.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
The FBI says the man who drove into a crowd
on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day traveled to Egypt
and Canada in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Here's Lisa Cardon.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Investigators said while US Army veteran shamsu Din Jabbar likely
acted alone, they're still trying to determine if he met
with anyone while he was abroad and if the trips
were connected to the attack. Jabbar also reportedly traveled to
New Orleans twice before the attack and took video along
Bourbon Street in the hours before. Authorities also say he
placed multiple improvised explosives around the city and set a
(14:57):
fire inside the home he was renting nearby. The attack
killed fourteen people, and Jabbar died in a shootout with
police after he opened fire on them and the crowd.
I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
The CDC says emergency room visits related to the flu
are at a very high rate nationwide. Your morning show
host Michael Del Jorno has more on this story.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I've got the flu right now. I'm choking to death
as we speak. It's a congestion in my head. My
lungs feel like they're made of iron. I have shortness
of breath, I can't stop coughing, and I spent a
lot of time with my mother, who is in the
hospital right now with pneumonia. So I'm just waiting for
the flu to turn to ammonia and have a great
(15:37):
week on the year with you well. Flu trends this
year look to be similar to twenty nineteen to twenty twenty,
which also hit at peak levels right around New Year's
In sports, I mentioned the Lions one, therefore they get
the buy along with the Chiefs. Saturday with the Chargers,
Texan Steelers, Ravens, Sunday Broncos, Bills, Packers, Eagles, Commanders, and
the Bucks, and then Monday night, the Minnesota Vikings will
(15:59):
travel to so Far to take on the rams.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
There, I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael boldornou.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and Dallas Sport
Worth Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, d
C and five point fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Enjoy the podcast. This is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I know that fifty is a big year for wedding anniversary.
I'm halfway there at twenty five this year. Twenty five
is silver, right or no, I'd have to look that up, Bud,
and fifty is diamond. Yeah, so maybe silver and diamond.
But apparently it's a big deal with affiliates too. So
we want to welcome our fiftieth Your Morning show City
(16:57):
nine ten am, Detroit's news talk superstar in Detroit, Michigan.
Congratulations on getting us on the bandwagon just in time
for the Lion's march to a super Bowl. And this
is kind of a full circle thing for me. What
are the odds that our fiftieth city would be just
down the road from where I was born in Flint, Michigan.
It's so good to be home, and I want to
thank Kevin Adell and Adele Broadcasting for making us a
(17:21):
part of the Detroit radio landscape. We also add Dick
Buckus today. I don't I think of fifty one. I
think of Dick Buckets, the rock of Talk sixteen hundred
AM KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Albuquerque, New Mexico. This
is going to really blow you away. Albuquerque, New Mexico
and in Nevada Lake Tahoe are two places I've always
(17:46):
wanted to go on vacation and have never gotten around
to going.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, you need to hurry up so you're getting known
up there.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
At least I got a place I can broadcast from
when I get to albookli Key so Eddie Arragan is
the owner that thank you so much. It's good to
be a part of your radio family. He also does
afternoons that he does great radio station. We're all about
speaking the truth here. We don't you know. We don't
want to wake you up in the morning beating you up.
(18:13):
You know, I do a character called Talk Radio Guy,
and he was all about outrage.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Everything was an outrage.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And then he would take a bunch of callers, and
the callers, of course, weren't on. They weren't as outrage
as him on the topic, and they were talking about
things off topic, and of course I was all the
callers too. I had to stop doing that just because
one of the other hosts at a station I worked
for thought I was making fun of him.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
WHOA and was it? No?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I had been doing Talk Radio Guy for literally thirty years,
at least twenty six years. He thought a little more
about but he did like radio I'll tell you he's
ounted a lot like Radio Guy. But no, we just
get up every morning, first of all, glad to be
with you. And unlike a lot of other shows, especially
national shows, we don't think all that much of ourselves.
(19:04):
This isn't about us in an ivory tower smarter than
you telling you what to think. In fact, we'll never
tell you how to think. But I think you'll find
we give you a lot to think about. I wrote
a book twenty something, that's twenty twenty three years ago now,
and I chose as the subtitle the only thing left
shocking in life is the truth.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
The name of the book is standing up for what's right.
The standing up for.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
What's right part is it's not enough to know what's right.
You got to live it. Knowing what is right doesn't
change anything. It also had to do with explaining to
people how they're being lied to and misled through deception,
through distortion. And of course what I was talking about
(19:49):
was media bias. Well, I don't have to sell that
or teach that anymore. America gets it. In fact, we're
so beyond that. We're to the death of journalism. It
doesn't even exist. And I'm not sure we know how
to be news consumers anymore, let alone getting honest news.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And that's a big problem. I said. The most significant
thing that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Ever happened in twenty sixteen was not the surprise election
of Donald Trump. In fact, it wasn't a surprise to me.
I predicted it. The most surprising thing of twenty sixteen
was the death of journalism for all to see.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's taken a full eight years since then for journalism
to see its own death. We're beyond death of journalism.
We're in a decomposition of journalism. Now, we always played
these little clips for Detroit and Albuquerque.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I see dead people and everybody forgets. The best part
of that line was and.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
They don't know they're dead. You know when you're watching
abcnbccbs CNNMSNBC. Heck, even Fox, I think gets it there dying.
Most of these national networks don't have a weekly audience
any bigger than what my audience was doing afternoons in Tulsa,
Oklaholm in the nineties, and they certainly saw they didn't
(21:12):
have any influence in this previous election. But the reason
I subtitled it the only thing left shocking in life
is the truth is because think about it, it really is.
My son does this to me every night or every day.
(21:33):
If my son goes, hey, dad, do you know blank?
That means they're dead. Hey dad, do you know Ron Santo? Yeah,
he's dead, So I know somebody died the minute I
hear dead. Do you know that's just his way of
breaking news. And whenever he hands me the phone and
(21:53):
goes dead. Do you think this girl's good looking? It's
a guy, because he does it every time. You probably
if you tuned in this morning. Wanted to hear you
know who won all the big awards in the Golden Globe? Boy,
are you at the wrong show? I can't stomach Hollywood.
Hollywood has been selling its broken life as a solution
(22:16):
for all of our lives for decades. They have as
much as much credibility as ABC, NBC, and CBS when
it comes to journalism and the awards shows continue to
not only focus on themselves and obsess on themselves and
their greatness while none of us are watching their work.
They ignore the work we're watching, So it gets pretty
(22:40):
hard to watch. But there were several men dressed as
women in full glamorous red carpet evening down last night.
Now does that shock me?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
No? Does it shock you? It shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's the law of diminishing return, that is always in motion.
That which is shocking today becomes normal tomorrow, and then
you got to go further to be shocking the next day.
It doesn't seem long ago. I was on the air
and everybody was freaking out. Was it Ellen that first
(23:18):
kissed somebody on a sitcom? It was, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I believe?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
So imagine that we were shocked at I remember I
wasn't on the air then. I'm not that old, but
I remember when Archie Bunker flushed his toilet. That was scandalous,
the sound of a toilet flushing on a network show.
But we're so beyond Rob and Laura Petrie keeping one
(23:44):
foot on the ground at all times and living in
twin beds. We're in a full state. Nothing is shocking.
In fact, the only thing left shocking life is the truth.
Can I dismount from this apparatus now? Because I used
(24:06):
to say all the time, behind every headline is the story,
behind every story? Oh, that's what There's so much to
talk about. I don't think it's necessary. I think the
headline says at all Biden awards George Soros with the
highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And I
(24:32):
remember waking up with the flu, thinking, ah, man, hate
being sick. My first day home in Detroit by Dick
buckis the rock of talk sixteen hundred in Albuquerque, and
I got to be sick today. Where would I begin
to break down the life, the attacks, and the impact.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Of George Soros? Where would you begin?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
This is a guy that during the Holocaust pretended to
be the godchild of a Christian to save his own
life while he watched his friends, neighbors, and family members
get marched off. Who has since then had one simple goal,
(25:23):
destroyed America as a nation under God, from its indivisibility.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Justice.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Anybody who knows anything about George sorows and what he
has done and funded in terms of law enforcement, prosecution,
and our judicial system, packing the court.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
With leftist judges.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Speaking of that same son, he was like, do you
think Joe Biden even remembers these people he's giving these
awards to. Probably not, but everything, I mean, here's the
good news, here's the silver lining everything that George Soros
has been about. And I used to be on his hitlist.
In fact, David and I used to always say hi
to uncle George, if you're listening, No kidding, watch out
(26:23):
for his son. This apple not only did not fall
far from the tree, maybe the sorest fruit of all,
but this is a man whose single goal is to
destroy this country.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
He just got the Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well, social media erupted at anger, as you could imagine,
But we live in a death of journalism, decomposition of journalism.
We don't really have news consumers. Anymore we have narrative repeaters.
Now you get into the social dilemma where you know,
sooner or later you've defriended everybody that doesn't you know,
unfriended everybody that doesn't think like you, or watch what
(27:07):
you watch, or read what you read. So we're living
in a matrix. But you can only imagine how the
matrix erupted over this. The White House said it a statement.
The award, the nation's highest civilian honor, is given to
individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values,
or security of the United States, world peace, or other
(27:32):
significant societal, public, or private endeavors. And you attach that
definition to George Soros, and even I who wrote the
book standing up for What's right. The only thing left
shocking in the life is the truth. Couldn't imagine this
(27:53):
shocking truth? This morning, we have a talk back button.
Sometimes I give you a theme. How do you feel
about George Soros given the Medal of Freedom, the highest
civilian honor, by an outgoing President Biden? And let me
tell you what I'll start you off. I think the
ultimate chain is when we see extreme partisan people like
(28:17):
Joe Biden give these awards extremely in this way, they
diminish the award itself. After COVID, the CDC has no
street cred with me at all, just mistrust. World Health
Organization is no street cred with me, just mistrust. And
(28:39):
this is no small leap. This is a giant leap
towards the Medal of Freedom you dishonor everyone who earned
it and got in the past. Not even the Presidential
Medal of Freedom is nonpartisan anymore. And we got so
(29:01):
partisan with an outgoing hidden president from the beginning, giving
it to probably the biggest enemy of democracy. As he reiterates,
Donald Trump is that and then drops the GD word.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Oh, Joe Biden, A wonderful night.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yesterday, Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
What next? There's no coffee. This is your morning show
with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
All right, listen for me to get to my diamond
wedding anniversary. I think I'm gonna have to be like
ninety five years old. I haven't really given it a
lot of thought, but I do think thanks to Steve,
we have some clarification on that.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
See, let me make sure I got this.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
I'm sorry, there's nothing more than a tree and a
domestic terrorist. He no more deserves that metal than Liz
Chain deserves the metal. Chayat both of disgrace to America.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Well, you know, one of the things we've had is
a breaking down of trust in America, and a big
part of that has been Arabella and Hopewell and George
Soros and his mission. This guy wants to control the
media because he wants to control the narrative. Let me
tell you something, whether it's George Soros, Arabella, or even
you know, the far left or the far right, at
(30:33):
its times, they want to fighting. They want us fighting
with each other. And while we're hating and fighting each other,
they're in power. But I think these games are coming
to an end and America is seeing through it. I'm
ready to get back to x's and o's and blocking
and tackling and doing the right thing. So I think
(30:55):
the hour is running out. But before they turn out
the lights on the Biden administration, they're passing out these
medals of freedom to Hillary too, George Soros. Who knows
who might be next. Now let's get to the anniversary.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
This is Steve from Chandler, Arizona twenty five years is silver.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Fifty is gold for your anniversary. Ah, so I had
it right on the silver. Yeah, gold is fifty.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Seventy five is diamond, although you will find some references
at sixty.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I think because they realized, well, seventy five is a
little hard to get to.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Good luck, let's get her ring while he's still alive.
So diamond can be either sixty or seventy five. So
this is my silver anniversary. Look, I'm going to try
to hang out eighty five and get to gold.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Let alone worry about diamond. If you're just waking up.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
These are your top five stories of the day. House
Speaker Mike Johnson says Congress is going to hit the
ground running with him holding the gavel.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Johnson told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures that Republican lawmakers
are working on a large reconciliation package that would address
all of President elect Trump's priorities early in his term.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
I think at the end of the day, President Trump
is going to prefer, as he likes to say, one
big beautiful bill, and there's a lot of merit to
that because we can put it all together one big
up or down vote which can save the country.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
The package would include legislation on the border, tax policy,
and energy production, among other major issues. Johnson says they
hope to pass the bill and send it a Trump's
desk by April.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
By Mark Mayfield, what was the fox Crawler on Friday?
Something for the gavel? They were being so hyped and dramatic.
There was so much drama. Who was going to be
the speaker? And I said, this is all drama, not reality.
It's going to be Johnson.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
And it was. And they're ready to hit the ground running.
That's good news.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
A state of emergency is in effect for several eastern states.
Scott Carr has more Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Virginia have
all declared state of emergency, while officials in southern states
like Florida and Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Our warning of danger is cold.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
A blizzard warning is an effect across the region, and
blizzard conditions are possible today from Kansas to West Virginia.
The storm is expected to dump heavy snow on Virginia,
Baltimore and Washington, d C. I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Ou Fassa, the Lion King has taken the lead at
the box office. In a first full weekend of the
new year, Scott Carr has details. The prequel to Disney's
Lion King earned over seven million dollars just on Friday
and is now among the top fifteen earners of all
the domestic releases of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Com is broken, there will be one.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Lion At Sonic, The Hedgehog three slows down to second place,
but has surpassed one hundred and seventy million dollars in
North America. A fourth installment of the Sonic franchise is
already underway at Paramount as Wicked continues to draw crowds
now with a shot at reaching the four hundred and
fifty million dollar mark domestically.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm Scott Carr. We're all in this together. This is
your Morning Show with Michael del Joano.
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to
your morning show live, even take us along with you

and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News Talk five
fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're always grateful you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Enjoy the podcast two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Giltry.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, if you fell asleep last night, you're a much
better man than I. I couldn't fall asleep well with
the flu if I wanted to. But until the Lions
had secured their bye Lions big winners at home thirty
one to nine over the Vikings for the Lions and
the Chiefs. It's a bye week for the rest of
the NFL. While card playoff games are all set. We'll
(01:02):
go over those for you a little bit later on Showgun.
Being named the year's best television drama. The Golden Globe Awards.
Congress set to meet today to certify the results of
the twenty twenty four election, and the thirty ninth president
remains lie in repose at the Carter Center in Georgia.
Good morning, it's eight minutes after the hour. I am
Michael del Jorno and this is your morning show. One
(01:24):
chance to live This Monday, January the sixth, the year
of our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
One chance to understand it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Roy O'Neil is joining us the morning in the funeral
for Jimmy Carter reposed today. He'll lie in state at
the Capitol Building later this week as America remembers a
really amazing guy, more so than President. I mean that
could be debated among partisans, but no one can debate
a man of faith and a good family man.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Indeed, and really the services the state services started on Saturday,
But as you said, he now lies and repose at
the Carter Center there in Atlanta. Tomorrow he will be
taken to the US Capitol Build into Lion State. Both
of those events are public and mourners are welcome to
go and pay their respects. The funeral service will be
(02:16):
held on Thursday at the National Cathedral. President Biden to
deliver one of the eulogies, but all five presidents, the living,
current and former presidents, will all be gathered at the
National Cathedral on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I think I mentioned this to John Dekker on Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Not you, but I mean think about to put into perspective,
the oldest living president now is the city President Joe Biden.
He'll deliver the eulogy. How can we best remember Jimmy Carter?
I don't know that I would. You know, I can
tell you as a person of faith, there are a
lot of things that distract you in the course of
a lifetime, things that get your eyes off of what
(02:55):
you believe and doing and actually living it and on
to other thing. This is a guy that was steadfast
and his faith was always in service to others.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's kind of how I'm going to remember him.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Even though he's not one of my favorite presidents, he's
a great example of faith.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
And never I don't think anyone questioned his motives. Yeah,
you know, in terms of he was a man of faith,
and you think that he was elected with coming out
of Watergate, coming out of Vietnam, that he was elected
to sort of bring a fresh perspective, and obviously things got.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Away from him when he got there.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Was it bad timing for him or was he a
part of what led to some of the economic failures?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I think for me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And being as kind as I can, and the timing,
the meddling in the Iranian election, the fall of the Shaw,
the rise of the Iyahtola, the hostage crisis that ended
his presidency and began the Reagan Revolution, and really also
began the Islamic Islami Republic of Iran, which is to
this day probably the most predictable threat to the world.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That would probably be his biggest mistake.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, and then you lead into the oil crisis, the
economic problems, the high inflation and record high interest rates,
and obviously that it teed up the Reagan Revolution at
the same time as the two of them being you know,
quite dynamically opposing figures, really and one much more soft
spoken than the other. Yeah, pretty remarkable, the way that
(04:27):
you'll you almost need the yin and the yang right exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, and you'll be following this as a news person
and it'll be fascinating because today the certification of the
twenty twenty four election results. So you have an outgoing president,
you have an incoming president for a second time, and
one lying in state at the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's kind of an interesting time for all to fall in.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It's going to be an incredible week in Washington, one
of the most for the security concerns are off the
charts because of all the things that are happening this week.
And President Biden, Yeah, and Biden in New Orleans today
and Kamala Harris sort of find the election results at
the capital today and then you go off to the funeral,
the Supreme Court and the TikTok case the Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It goes on and on.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's a lot of I think, I think you've got
a lot of stuff to talk about this week.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Good to have you here to explain it. All right,
Roy O'Neil will be back in the third hour.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
We'll talk about investigators in both New Orleans and Las
Vegas have been working all weekend long.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
There are some new details. What are these guys.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I know I'm going to show my age here, but
I've seen the commercials for them. They have these glasses
now that you put them on and looks like you're
just wearing side glasses, work around, but you're really filming
people talk about talk about well, apparently the New Orleans
attacker was in New Orleans before the attack, walking around
with those glasses and take pictures of Bondish.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So we'll give you the very latest done that in
our top five stories of Dan Roy. Will be back
with all the details in the third hour. Hey, we
want to welcome aboard. We just will make this our
fiftieth nine ten am, the news talk superstation in Detroit, Michigan. Now,
I know what people are gonna accuse me of. Please
don't play games with me while I'm on cold medicine. Okay,
(06:12):
that we're jumping on the Lions bandwagon, and you're absolutely
right we are. And we think Kevin Adell of Adele
Broadcasting for getting us in. He's first of all, he
gets to be number fifty, the big number fifty, huge,
and he gets us in just in time for this
championship run for the Detroit Lions. They took a giant
(06:33):
step last night, made a lot of mistakes. I mean,
if I were to tell you, hey, the Lions won
last night, you'd think offense, they had a couple of
key tournament. It was really the defense. This score does
not reflect what you would have watched last night. I
was a fistfight in Detroit last night. And for the Lions,
they get the division championship, they get the buybe. The
Vikings get a trip to so Far to take on
(06:55):
the Los Angeles Rams. I probably should do this while
I'm doing I don't want to major in sports on
SIME a big news day, but Saturday, CBS three thirty
Chargers Texans. I gotta be honest with you, guys, don't
I don't see a lot of opportunities for upsets unless
you're considering the Commanders an upset over Tampa in Tampa.
(07:16):
If you are, then I'd say the Commanders are the
shoe win best bet for an upset.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I mean Tampa and the Rams may be dogs at
home even though they won their divisions, with Minnesota going
to LA on Monday night, that'll be ESPN seventh Central.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Saturday, we have the Chargers and the Texans Steelers in
the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Sunday we have the Broncos and the Bills, Packers and
the Eagles and the Commanders in Tampa. So the playoffs
are said, don't forget before that, the semi Finals, the
Orange Bowl Thursday night, Penn State, Notre Dame, Friday night,
the Cotton Bowl, Ohio State, and Texas.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh, and don't forget in April on the.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Clock, Well, it was a big victory for the New
England Patriots over the Buffalo Bill's third string that give
the Tennessee Titans the number one overall pick in the
NFL Draft that they most assuredly will spend.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
On the wrong person a factory of stin is like.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
And as I texted our senior Core contributor David Zanati
earlier this weekend, at another hopeless season for the Cleveland
Bronze faded to black as we still don't have a quarterback,
A big bye in sports. Speaking of that famous Jamis
is thirty one today, we'll have birthdays a little bit
later on as well. I think, you know, to me,
(08:41):
there's a lot of news stories today and then there's
a lot of, you know, just kind of underlying stories
that I think are really profound.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
One is that it's really hard to sell inflation.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Really high, to sell cost of living out of reach,
home prices soaring. We saw that in America that led
to a Donald Trump election. Well that's happening in Canada now.
I got to tell you, have you been through Trudeau's
approval ratings. If you thought you can't get lower than
(09:19):
Joe Biden, Oh, yes you can in the prime minister
in Canada, justin Trudeau sixty eight percent disapproval rating. That's
why we're getting the news not just from the Globe
and the Mail, but other sources sighting he is going
(09:39):
to step down and it is expected to come before
the National Caucus meeting on Wednesday. When we did our
New Year's Address, if you really had to sum up
the entire year of twenty twenty four, it was high
cost of living, inflation, very little interest rate relief, a
(10:01):
border crisis, wars expanding not just in the Middle East,
but continuing to rage in the Ukraine, with other players
now involved North Korea having a presence on the ground
in Russia. And then ultimately, policies have consequences. I got
(10:25):
a bust at Jack Kennedy behind me, and he'd always say,
if you can get domestic policy wrong, it'll cost you
a lot of money. You get foreign policy wrong, it'll
cost you a lot of lives. Well, the left has
gotten control, implemented their policies.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And it cost us a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And change came quickly, first in Joe saying bye bye,
then America saying bye bye, Takamala, and then hello to
Donald Trump. That's exactly what's happening to our north in Canada.
Even if if government was to be God, it is
not a god, and it doesn't have the resources to
(11:08):
play God. And every time Americans or Canadians forget there's
a God who will supply our needs according to his
riches in glory and through each other. And we turned
to a centralized government to do it. There's simply not
the resources to pull it off. And in the end,
whether you're America or Canada, you can't spend your way
(11:31):
out of a spending problem. You can't debt your way
out of a debt problem. You can't centralize government control
your way to freedom. For America, we did in an
elective process. And Donald Trump is headed back to the
Oval Office Canada. The Prime Minister, probably by Wednesday at
the latest, will say goodbye as Prime Minister.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chino. We can't
have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So if you're listening on that iHeartRadio app, you'll see
a microphone hit it, Make.

show host. You're immediately a part of the show, so
use that talkback. But you can also email me Michael
D at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We're just waking up. Twenty six after the.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hour, Senator Amy clovashaher says the US capital will be
secure Monday for the certification of the twenty twenty four
presidential election.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
More from Mark Mayfield, appearing on Cena Man's State of
the Union, the Minnesota Democrats said, in the years since
the January the sixth insurrection, officials have upgraded security measures
in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We have, as you note, a new police chief, increase morale,
many hundreds of more officers, and we have a plan
and its strategy in place.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the certification of
the electoral votes for president on Monday, marking the first
time since two thousand and one that a vice president
has presided over the certification of their.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Own election laws.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
A Mark Mayfield well that there were no shenanigans in
the election process, and Republicans and Democrats alike seem to
be optimistic about the new presidency.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
So yeah, I don't think there's a lot of security concerns.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Legislation expanding Social Security benefits for millions of retired Americans
was signed to law by President Biden on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Tammy Trihuilo has more.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Social Security fairness actory moves to federal policies has stopped
employees with public tensions from collecting all of their benefits
under the federal retirement program and lowered benefits for workers'
family members. Biden signed the bill weeks before the end
of his presidency after the Senate voted seventy six to
twenty to pass the law. The increase of benefits under
(13:38):
the new law would be backdated to December of twenty
twenty three, and prior eligible recipients who only received partial
benefits will get a full payment backdating to a year ago.
I'm Tammy Trio.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
A state of emergency is in effect for several Eastern
states as major winter storms are expected to bring some
of the coldest temperatures in the region in over a decade.
Scott Carr has more Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas and Virginia have
all declared states of emergency, while officials in southern states
like Florida and Mississippi our warning of danger is cold.
(14:10):
A blizzard warning is an effect across the region, and
blizzard conditions are possible today from Kansas to West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
The storm is expected to dump.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Heavy snow on Virginia, Baltimore, and Washington d C.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
The FBI says the man who drove into a crowd
on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day traveled to Egypt
and Canada in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Here's Lisa Cardon.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Investigators said while US Army veteran shamsu Din Jabbar likely
acted alone, they're still trying to determine if he met
with anyone while he was abroad and if the trips
were connected to the attack. Jabbar also reportedly traveled to
New Orleans twice before the attack and took video along
Bourbon Street in the hours before. Authorities also say he
placed multiple improvised explosives around the city and set a
(14:57):
fire inside the home he was renting nearby. The attack
killed fourteen people, and Jabbar died in a shootout with
police after he opened fire on them and the crowd.
I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
The CDC says emergency room visits related to the flu
are at a very high rate nationwide. Your morning show
host Michael Del Jorno has more on this story.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I've got the flu right now. I'm choking to death
as we speak. It's a congestion in my head. My
lungs feel like they're made of iron. I have shortness
of breath, I can't stop coughing, and I spent a
lot of time with my mother, who is in the
hospital right now with pneumonia. So I'm just waiting for
the flu to turn to ammonia and have a great
(15:37):
week on the year with you well. Flu trends this
year look to be similar to twenty nineteen to twenty twenty,
which also hit at peak levels right around New Year's
In sports, I mentioned the Lions one, therefore they get
the buy along with the Chiefs. Saturday with the Chargers,
Texan Steelers, Ravens, Sunday Broncos, Bills, Packers, Eagles, Commanders, and
the Bucks, and then Monday night, the Minnesota Vikings will
(15:59):
travel to so Far to take on the rams.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
There, I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael boldornou.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and Dallas Sport
Worth Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, d
C and five point fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Enjoy the podcast. This is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I know that fifty is a big year for wedding anniversary.
I'm halfway there at twenty five this year. Twenty five
is silver, right or no, I'd have to look that up, Bud,
and fifty is diamond. Yeah, so maybe silver and diamond.
But apparently it's a big deal with affiliates too. So
we want to welcome our fiftieth Your Morning show City
(16:57):
nine ten am, Detroit's news talk superstar in Detroit, Michigan.
Congratulations on getting us on the bandwagon just in time
for the Lion's march to a super Bowl. And this
is kind of a full circle thing for me. What
are the odds that our fiftieth city would be just
down the road from where I was born in Flint, Michigan.
It's so good to be home, and I want to
thank Kevin Adell and Adele Broadcasting for making us a
(17:21):
part of the Detroit radio landscape. We also add Dick
Buckus today. I don't I think of fifty one. I
think of Dick Buckets, the rock of Talk sixteen hundred
AM KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Albuquerque, New Mexico. This
is going to really blow you away. Albuquerque, New Mexico
and in Nevada Lake Tahoe are two places I've always
(17:46):
wanted to go on vacation and have never gotten around
to going.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, you need to hurry up so you're getting known
up there.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
At least I got a place I can broadcast from
when I get to albookli Key so Eddie Arragan is
the owner that thank you so much. It's good to
be a part of your radio family. He also does
afternoons that he does great radio station. We're all about
speaking the truth here. We don't you know. We don't
want to wake you up in the morning beating you up.
(18:13):
You know, I do a character called Talk Radio Guy,
and he was all about outrage.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Everything was an outrage.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And then he would take a bunch of callers, and
the callers, of course, weren't on. They weren't as outrage
as him on the topic, and they were talking about
things off topic, and of course I was all the
callers too. I had to stop doing that just because
one of the other hosts at a station I worked
for thought I was making fun of him.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
WHOA and was it? No?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I had been doing Talk Radio Guy for literally thirty years,
at least twenty six years. He thought a little more
about but he did like radio I'll tell you he's
ounted a lot like Radio Guy. But no, we just
get up every morning, first of all, glad to be
with you. And unlike a lot of other shows, especially
national shows, we don't think all that much of ourselves.
(19:04):
This isn't about us in an ivory tower smarter than
you telling you what to think. In fact, we'll never
tell you how to think. But I think you'll find
we give you a lot to think about. I wrote
a book twenty something, that's twenty twenty three years ago now,
and I chose as the subtitle the only thing left
shocking in life is the truth.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
The name of the book is standing up for what's right.
The standing up for.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
What's right part is it's not enough to know what's right.
You got to live it. Knowing what is right doesn't
change anything. It also had to do with explaining to
people how they're being lied to and misled through deception,
through distortion. And of course what I was talking about
(19:49):
was media bias. Well, I don't have to sell that
or teach that anymore. America gets it. In fact, we're
so beyond that. We're to the death of journalism. It
doesn't even exist. And I'm not sure we know how
to be news consumers anymore, let alone getting honest news.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And that's a big problem. I said. The most significant
thing that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Ever happened in twenty sixteen was not the surprise election
of Donald Trump. In fact, it wasn't a surprise to me.
I predicted it. The most surprising thing of twenty sixteen
was the death of journalism for all to see.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's taken a full eight years since then for journalism
to see its own death. We're beyond death of journalism.
We're in a decomposition of journalism. Now, we always played
these little clips for Detroit and Albuquerque.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I see dead people and everybody forgets. The best part
of that line was and.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
They don't know they're dead. You know when you're watching
abcnbccbs CNNMSNBC. Heck, even Fox, I think gets it there dying.
Most of these national networks don't have a weekly audience
any bigger than what my audience was doing afternoons in Tulsa,
Oklaholm in the nineties, and they certainly saw they didn't
(21:12):
have any influence in this previous election. But the reason
I subtitled it the only thing left shocking in life
is the truth is because think about it, it really is.
My son does this to me every night or every day.
(21:33):
If my son goes, hey, dad, do you know blank?
That means they're dead. Hey dad, do you know Ron Santo? Yeah,
he's dead, So I know somebody died the minute I
hear dead. Do you know that's just his way of
breaking news. And whenever he hands me the phone and
(21:53):
goes dead. Do you think this girl's good looking? It's
a guy, because he does it every time. You probably
if you tuned in this morning. Wanted to hear you
know who won all the big awards in the Golden Globe? Boy,
are you at the wrong show? I can't stomach Hollywood.
Hollywood has been selling its broken life as a solution
(22:16):
for all of our lives for decades. They have as
much as much credibility as ABC, NBC, and CBS when
it comes to journalism and the awards shows continue to
not only focus on themselves and obsess on themselves and
their greatness while none of us are watching their work.
They ignore the work we're watching, So it gets pretty
(22:40):
hard to watch. But there were several men dressed as
women in full glamorous red carpet evening down last night.
Now does that shock me?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
No? Does it shock you? It shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's the law of diminishing return, that is always in motion.
That which is shocking today becomes normal tomorrow, and then
you got to go further to be shocking the next day.
It doesn't seem long ago. I was on the air
and everybody was freaking out. Was it Ellen that first
(23:18):
kissed somebody on a sitcom? It was, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I believe?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
So imagine that we were shocked at I remember I
wasn't on the air then. I'm not that old, but
I remember when Archie Bunker flushed his toilet. That was scandalous,
the sound of a toilet flushing on a network show.
But we're so beyond Rob and Laura Petrie keeping one
(23:44):
foot on the ground at all times and living in
twin beds. We're in a full state. Nothing is shocking.
In fact, the only thing left shocking life is the truth.
Can I dismount from this apparatus now? Because I used
(24:06):
to say all the time, behind every headline is the story,
behind every story? Oh, that's what There's so much to
talk about. I don't think it's necessary. I think the
headline says at all Biden awards George Soros with the
highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And I
(24:32):
remember waking up with the flu, thinking, ah, man, hate
being sick. My first day home in Detroit by Dick
buckis the rock of talk sixteen hundred in Albuquerque, and
I got to be sick today. Where would I begin
to break down the life, the attacks, and the impact.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Of George Soros? Where would you begin?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
This is a guy that during the Holocaust pretended to
be the godchild of a Christian to save his own
life while he watched his friends, neighbors, and family members
get marched off. Who has since then had one simple goal,
(25:23):
destroyed America as a nation under God, from its indivisibility.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Justice.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Anybody who knows anything about George sorows and what he
has done and funded in terms of law enforcement, prosecution,
and our judicial system, packing the court.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
With leftist judges.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Speaking of that same son, he was like, do you
think Joe Biden even remembers these people he's giving these
awards to. Probably not, but everything, I mean, here's the
good news, here's the silver lining everything that George Soros
has been about. And I used to be on his hitlist.
In fact, David and I used to always say hi
to uncle George, if you're listening, No kidding, watch out
(26:23):
for his son. This apple not only did not fall
far from the tree, maybe the sorest fruit of all,
but this is a man whose single goal is to
destroy this country.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
He just got the Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well, social media erupted at anger, as you could imagine,
But we live in a death of journalism, decomposition of journalism.
We don't really have news consumers. Anymore we have narrative repeaters.
Now you get into the social dilemma where you know,
sooner or later you've defriended everybody that doesn't you know,
unfriended everybody that doesn't think like you, or watch what
(27:07):
you watch, or read what you read. So we're living
in a matrix. But you can only imagine how the
matrix erupted over this. The White House said it a statement.
The award, the nation's highest civilian honor, is given to
individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values,
or security of the United States, world peace, or other
(27:32):
significant societal, public, or private endeavors. And you attach that
definition to George Soros, and even I who wrote the
book standing up for What's right. The only thing left
shocking in the life is the truth. Couldn't imagine this
(27:53):
shocking truth? This morning, we have a talk back button.
Sometimes I give you a theme. How do you feel
about George Soros given the Medal of Freedom, the highest
civilian honor, by an outgoing President Biden? And let me
tell you what I'll start you off. I think the
ultimate chain is when we see extreme partisan people like
(28:17):
Joe Biden give these awards extremely in this way, they
diminish the award itself. After COVID, the CDC has no
street cred with me at all, just mistrust. World Health
Organization is no street cred with me, just mistrust. And
(28:39):
this is no small leap. This is a giant leap
towards the Medal of Freedom you dishonor everyone who earned
it and got in the past. Not even the Presidential
Medal of Freedom is nonpartisan anymore. And we got so
(29:01):
partisan with an outgoing hidden president from the beginning, giving
it to probably the biggest enemy of democracy. As he reiterates,
Donald Trump is that and then drops the GD word.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Oh, Joe Biden, A wonderful night.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yesterday, Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
What next? There's no coffee. This is your morning show
with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
All right, listen for me to get to my diamond
wedding anniversary. I think I'm gonna have to be like
ninety five years old. I haven't really given it a
lot of thought, but I do think thanks to Steve,
we have some clarification on that.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
See, let me make sure I got this.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
I'm sorry, there's nothing more than a tree and a
domestic terrorist. He no more deserves that metal than Liz
Chain deserves the metal. Chayat both of disgrace to America.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Well, you know, one of the things we've had is
a breaking down of trust in America, and a big
part of that has been Arabella and Hopewell and George
Soros and his mission. This guy wants to control the
media because he wants to control the narrative. Let me
tell you something, whether it's George Soros, Arabella, or even
you know, the far left or the far right, at
(30:33):
its times, they want to fighting. They want us fighting
with each other. And while we're hating and fighting each other,
they're in power. But I think these games are coming
to an end and America is seeing through it. I'm
ready to get back to x's and o's and blocking
and tackling and doing the right thing. So I think
(30:55):
the hour is running out. But before they turn out
the lights on the Biden administration, they're passing out these
medals of freedom to Hillary too, George Soros. Who knows
who might be next. Now let's get to the anniversary.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
This is Steve from Chandler, Arizona twenty five years is silver.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Fifty is gold for your anniversary. Ah, so I had
it right on the silver. Yeah, gold is fifty.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Seventy five is diamond, although you will find some references
at sixty.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I think because they realized, well, seventy five is a
little hard to get to.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Good luck, let's get her ring while he's still alive.
So diamond can be either sixty or seventy five. So
this is my silver anniversary. Look, I'm going to try
to hang out eighty five and get to gold.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Let alone worry about diamond. If you're just waking up.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
These are your top five stories of the day. House
Speaker Mike Johnson says Congress is going to hit the
ground running with him holding the gavel.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Johnson told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures that Republican lawmakers
are working on a large reconciliation package that would address
all of President elect Trump's priorities early in his term.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
I think at the end of the day, President Trump
is going to prefer, as he likes to say, one
big beautiful bill, and there's a lot of merit to
that because we can put it all together one big
up or down vote which can save the country.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
The package would include legislation on the border, tax policy,
and energy production, among other major issues. Johnson says they
hope to pass the bill and send it a Trump's
desk by April.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
By Mark Mayfield, what was the fox Crawler on Friday?
Something for the gavel? They were being so hyped and dramatic.
There was so much drama. Who was going to be
the speaker? And I said, this is all drama, not reality.
It's going to be Johnson.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
And it was. And they're ready to hit the ground running.
That's good news.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
