Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Pretty excited.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Tomorrow on your Morning Show, Speaker Newt Gingrich will be
joining us. He and his wife co host a ninety
minute documentary film they were also the executive producers, called
Journey to America. They're going to look at nine different
lives that immigrated legally to the United States and made
an impact. I often talk about the sins of mission
(01:00):
with the legal immigration, but what about the sins of
omission of legal immigration failures. This documentary, and of all
places PBS will be interesting to watch. The speaker will
join us tomorrow right here on your Morning Show. Art
If you're just waking up the death toll has risen
to twenty four. In the wildfires in Los Angeles, containment
(01:21):
is hard to find. We're looking at thirteen percent containment
in the Palisite Palisades fire, twenty seven percent containment in
the Eton fire, and now more Santa Anna hurricane strength
wins kicking up today and tomorrow, making new fires possible
as well as containment less likely. So we'll keep our
(01:43):
eye on the fires in Los Angeles heading into day six.
We also have the Senate that's going to be starting
the process of confirmation hearings ten this week. Joining us
now in the liveline is Chris Walker. He is a
Republican consultant and analyst and a your Morning show regular.
You know we were looking red and eye off the air, Chris.
At the confirmation votes for Joe Biden's cabinet, people would
(02:07):
be surprised to note very few were close. Blincoln seventy
eight to twenty two, Yelling eighty four to fifteen. In fact,
i'll cut to the chase. The only two that were
even close was Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Bikara
was fifty to forty nine and may Orcus ironically fifty
six to forty three.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The others were not close.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So my question to you is how much of this
not even getting to the atmosphere of this transition, but
in general, is this overplayed? I mean, the likelihood that
any of these may not get through pretty slim, right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
The Democrats play a different neopolitics and Republicans have generally done.
I mean, I think that's part of Donald Trump's you know,
frustration with the Senate sometimes that Republicans would would play
the nine gentlemanly cards for lack of a better term,
and the Democrats would play the knuckles, you know, back
back for all fighting. So that that that applied to
(03:05):
Joe Biden in his effort too.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
So, you know, I think there will be some fights here. Democrats,
there's a very.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Slim majority in the Senate. There's several kind of Republicans
that are still kind of you know, uh, wary of
of partisan fights for lack of a better word, and
so I think some of these will be more difficult.
We saw that with you know, Pete Hegsat's nomination in November,
where people were kind of trying to push back, so
Johnny and Ors and others trying to kind of suggest
(03:32):
maybe there was not not some support there. We saw
that with Matt Gates. Obviously he kind of had to
a drawn because there wasn't supporting the Senate. And you know,
I'm hearing that there's gonna be a you know, a definite, uh.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Difficult path for r K.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So you know, there's there's several pieces here where the
Democrats are aligned and Republicans sometimes don't do the same thing,
and that's.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Where some of these fights come from.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
But it's going to take Republicans to throw and they will,
but I mean, that's that's what they will. So you know,
unfortunately that you know that there is not that same
unanimity of political purpose that you see from Democrats and
the Republicans. And sometimes that's a good thing. But in
case like cabinet appointments, where you have a clear mandate
(04:17):
from the country to have Trump have his kicks in there,
I think you're going to see some some Republicans wavering
and uh, you know, trying to play a little bit
of this game, a little bit more than the Democrats
would in similar circumstances.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And you see you didn't mention Telsey Gabbard, but you
see RFKG set.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I think is kind of.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I think he Sets has turned it around and I
think he'll be fine. Uh you know, I just I
mean more along the line of like it took some
some real grassroots effort to get hag Sets into a
better position. He had to really fight, you know, I
I am hearing that r f K, the RFK nomination
is going to be a challenge.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
You know, we'll see.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I think, you know, the president does have the that
you know, should should have his you know, picks confirmed.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
But you know, sometimes the Senate gets gets.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Voices in their head outside of the political process that
kind of can gum some of these things up.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
We were talking with John Decker about how the left
should be careful. Fifty four percent of the American people
support the way Donald Trump is handling the presidential transition.
Uh there, you know, doesn't seem to be a lot
of grace for troublemaking right now. Should the Republicans need
that warning as well?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Absolutely? I mean again, I point to Jony Erst.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I mean he kind of came out waftling on hegstats
and there was a huge graphswell of support saying watch
out or you know, we may primary you you know,
there's a big power, you know ship happening in the
Republican Party still to this day, and so those types
of things are being watched and being noticed. So yes,
I think Republicans, you know, should would understand the need
(05:58):
to kind of.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Get in line.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Although I mean, you know, again, and look, I'm a
I'm a constitutionalist and conservative first before proprior Republican.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I mean, I've talked about that a lot.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
But you know, the Senate does have a role in this,
and that there are some people that don't meet the
measure of some sense that's okay, but in this instance,
you know, I think trust picking some really good people,
and it will have to be a very strong measure
to say that hey, this isn't this person is a
qualified GERNO department or an agency.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Republican consult Chris Walker joining us. I'm not going to
relitigate the litigate the whole you know, issue of matrix.
But thanks to the social dilemma, thanks to the death
of journalism, a matrix has formed in the country. People
on the far left and people on the far right
living in silos only talking to people that think like them,
(06:44):
reading what they read. We don't have news, we don't
have news consumers. We just have narratives and narrative repeaters.
I think some of that has been broken in the
twenty twenty four election cycle. Clearly the narrative didn't work.
Clearly the silencing of opposition views didn't work, mainly because
Elon Musk bought X and formed a coalition along with
(07:05):
RFK Junior and Telsea Gabbard and Donald Trump. But we
see them, we see the matrix still in place with
these fires in Los Angeles. The left narrative is this
is the result of global warming denial. The right narrative,
this is DEI focus and failed governance. That's why LA
is burning to the ground. How not whether which side
of the matrix is right in Los Angeles? How alive
(07:27):
and well is the matrix and has it perhaps even
been decoded and debunked and died beyond the twenty twenty
four election cycle.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Well, I mean that's a really good question, Michael.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
You know, honestly, I think that it's still breathing, but
it's on life support.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
To a degree, because there still is a huge bloss
of the country.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I mean, look at the joy reads and the MSNBC's
of Jinsati going out there and blaming Trump as if
he's still has in office today.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
You know, the skepticism and.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
The unwillingness of just taking narratives at face value is
what's the most important piece of it. There's still going
to be these narratives that get pushed out there. The
Democrats have invested one hundred years of time and resources
and thought into these destructive narratives. They're not going to
just give up because Elon bought Twitter, but poking holes
in them and having that ability to say this isn't,
(08:22):
this isn't the reality of it, I think is important.
What the real you know, kind of metric to look
at is, you know, California to become more purple instead
of just bright blue because of things like this. People
are seeing the failure of liberal governance in real time.
That Karen Bass, you know.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Refusing to even show a sympathetic.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Answer to a question on an airplane tarmac shows that,
you know, there's this this disconnect from liberal leadership to
the people.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
That they're supposedly serving. So for that real way that
was going.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
To be hidden before.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Or how about Governor Newsom suspending the state environmental rules
for rebuilding after the fires temporarily, and of course everybody's
gonna be saying this should be the normal process. This
is why we have a housing shortage, that's why housing
is unaffordable. Uh, there's gonna be a lot of connecting
of dots through this pain that could change the way
because at the end of the day, if in fact
you have incompetence and leadership position, the voters put them there,
(09:17):
so they're gonna the byproduct is gonna be they're gonna
relook at how they're electing people, which is something that's
kind of a hot topic for you in general.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
And it's not just the fire that we view this.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Although Karen Bass could be an example, Joe Biden could
be a great example.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
We have to start looking.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
At recruiting smart leaders in executive positions in industries versus
career politicians. That's where I see that where the tread
trend could go and quite frankly should go.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Executive positions are not you know, pinnacles of a political
you know, a career politician's career. You know, like, these
are people, these are big jobs where people need to
be running stuff. Karen Bass was a backbencher congresswoman who
was on Joe Biden's shortlist to be VP, and she's
proven herself to be having been completely incomfident in the job,
(10:10):
hiring people who were not really qualified for the jobs
they were in. You know, But the politics of this
are are really important, and so yeah, I think executives
should be thinking looking at this to try to step
up more. We saw that, you know, in that mayor's
race in Los Angeles, Karen bass Beat. I can't remember
the guy's name on top of my head, sorry, but
(10:30):
you know, his his developments, pawfits didn't burn up because
he took the requirements and the cautions to do it.
That's kind of the leadership that we need. It's not
just about politics. And I would say that's part of
the reason why Donald Trust was so successful. He was
an executive that came out of government to say I'm
going to run because I care about the country. It's
not a career pinnacle for me. It's like I see
(10:51):
a problem and I want to solve it. So being
open to that idea of having these outside executives, business
leaders coming in saying like I have skills that could
be performed here, I think are important pieces of that
puzzle of like how we choose our leaders. At least
in me, they can bring it. So it's a difference
for you know, legislators. I think there's a reason to
be said, Hey, if I'm in the legislation, I've been
there for a while, like, okay, fine, you probably know
(11:13):
what you're doing, So that doesn't mean you can run
you know, a twenty billion dollar a year kind of
stay budget.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
So those are the types of things people need to be.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Thinking about as they think about executives over the next
few years, because we're seeing it in real time here
in California.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
You can chalk this up to Jimmy Carter died and
and then I started looking at old videos, and I'm
watching this old interview with sixty minutes. And it wasn't
long before I started watching some of these old interviews.
I remembered that I'm gonna use the word creepy, and
it's not to be mean. It was just I remember
as a teenager, I would see it and there was
(11:47):
something discernibly awkward for me to see. But Jimmy Carter
would get a big smile and kind of like an
evil look in his eye when he would say certain things,
and I was reminded of that watching these videos, and
then it got to potential candidates. Now this is nineteen
eighty four, coming out of the first term of Ronald Reagan,
and guess who Jimmy Carter was schlepping that. Everybody forgets
(12:09):
Leiahcoca and wanted him bad.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So, I mean, this is not new that.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
America comes to these employees, where it goes through cycles
where it's kind of had it with career politicians that
know how to win political races but don't know how
to run the offices once they're elected. That seems to
kind of be birthing in addition to everything else that's
going on right now. And I think you got your
finger on it. We'll keep an eye on don't lose
(12:35):
that thought. Let's keep an eye on that in the
year two three ahead. Chris Walker has always appreciated Please.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Please don't make me like Jimmy Carter. Let's let's never
do that again.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
You don't have that, You don't have that weird eye
thing going with.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Your smile, and your smile is authentic.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
But no, it was a very very Lloyd Benson like
ey smile that Jimmy Carter had in common with Lloyd Benson.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Go back, see if you catch that.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
But yeah, I thought it was interesting that you know,
long before Donald Trump. And by the way, that would
be right about the time Oprah was so curious with
Donald Trump, would you run for president? Because we talk
a lot about trump Ism and where it goes after
Donald Trump, and it may not necessarily go to maga
(13:20):
Trump lieutenants. As much as this notion of proven industrial
economic leaders versus career politicians, I want to leave that
on the radar for us to keep an eye.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I appreciated Chris Walker.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
As always, we'll talk next Monday or sooner if conditions warrant.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
All right, I'm gonna make a brief statement and then
I'll take just a couple of your questions. After extensive
examination at the Vanderbilt Clinic, it was determined that I
am suffering from brainfluenza, which is known as the adult croup.
I had also developed a secondary case of bronchitis as
(14:04):
a result of the flu. I was giving an X
ray to rule out any pneumonia and received a breathing treatment,
and the prognosis is a slow recovery over the next
seven to fourteen days and I plan to continue to
work even though I'm sick.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yes, right in the front row.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Yeah, we have a question, Jeff Line, producer of your
morning show, just want to know is this contagious?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yes, very although we are not in the same room
as you know. Dumb question. How about the Wisconsin reporter
from Eauclaire in the front row?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Boy, I knew that.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Out of just waking up Top five stories today. Numeral
UNO Vice president elect jd Vance is pushing back against
any ridiculous claims that Trump administration will withhole disaster relief
from California following the deadly fires. Appearing on Fox News Sunday,
Vance said, poor governance. That's the big reason for the
the destruction that we're seeing in the Los Angeles area.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
I mean, some of these reservoirs have been dry for
fifteen twenty years. The fire hydrants are being reported as
going dry while the fire fighters are trying to put
out these fires. There is a serious lack of competent
governance in California, and I think it's part of the
reason why these fires have gotten so bad. We need
to do a better job at both the state and
federal level.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
The incoming Vice president promised the upcoming administration will prioritize
disaster response, and.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
I do think, frankly, the federal government has to do
a better job. President Trump is committed to doing a
better job when it comes to disaster relief. That's true
for the hurricane victims and flood victims in North Carolina.
That's true for the fire victims in California.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
La Mayor Karen Bass has her hands full with a
fire that is not contained, but she's moved on to
urging residents to report any illegal price gouging in the
wake of the deadly fires.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
A Sornia law prohibits successive and unjustified price increases for
essential goods and services during a state of emergency. It
also applies to the prices of construction services, hotel lodging,
and residential rental properties. Governor Kevin Newsome declareda state of
emergency for Los Angeles last Tuesday when the Palisades, Eaton
and Hearst fires started.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I'm General Martin Dill.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael dil Jorona.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Hi, I'm Michael I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We're heard on great stations like News Talk five point
fifty k f YI and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety
k EX in Portland and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle.
Make us a part of your morning routine. We'd love
to have you listen live. But in the meantime, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Welcome to Monday, January, the thirteenth year of Our Lord
twenty twenty five. Can't have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Don't forget.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You don't have to rot on hold anymore and wait
to be called upon. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
there's a talkback feature microphone press it count you down
three two one, ask your question, immediately, make your comment immediately,
and we can add you to the show, just like
Roger here on the talkback.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
Regard warning Michael regarding your comment about the matrix between
global warming and mismanagement in the LA fires. Even if
I can see that it's global warming, that would make
the management even more important. All that underbrush should have
been removed, Things like storing water should have been done
in a much better manner, so even in that it's
(17:28):
still mismanagement in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Why do I sense that that man has a pillow
and a blanket on his sofa?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Sounds like is that red? It sounds like red.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Then he disappears, We get a strange call by a guida.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, it's a great point.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Look, you know catastrophic man caused global warming. No, that's
an agenda and a narrative the climate change. We're definitely
in a warm, windy, dry cycle. All the more reason
to be prepared. Junior Listeningville. Hey, Michael, this is a
natural cure for a cough. You might want to try.
Speaker 11 (18:04):
Take half of a red onion, chop it up, Take
four gallic clothes, chop them up, put them in a jar,
and put in a half a cup of honey, and
let's sit for twenty four hours, and then use it
as a cough serf.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It will work for me.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
A nice little salad dressing as well. I prefer what
I start with is a really nice tea, maybe a
black tea, if you will that I do about. I
don't measure anything, so I just turned the honey upside down,
squeeze it for about fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, to taste.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Then I take a onion and I just squeeze, you know,
about four seconds, maybe probably two tablespoons. And then I
add some bill may purchased single batch four roses bourbon.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh, and again I just pour and count for a
few seconds. I call that a hot toddy. It does work.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
In fact, the vand reel doctor said, of course it
works to suppress the call. But I will try that.
So red onion, garlic and honey and let it sit
for a day. I guess for the day.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I choke.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I'm not a big I told you so guy, but
I couldn't help but think. As the headline broke yesterday
afternoon that Mike Vrabel is the new head coach of
the New England Patriots, did it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Seems to me? Read? Was it Monday of last week?
It was Monday of last week.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
That I lost consciousness and noster Dell Jorno appeared.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
In fact, it sounded like this, and.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
What hey, hey, get the cold compresses, wake him up?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Hello?
Speaker 12 (19:53):
For it shall be hell indiable year. The Titan get
the pick flip, the Patriots get the coach.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Hey, hey, Dan, are you proud of me?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
First of all, I why do I always regain consciousness
asking my dad if he's proud of me?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I had no idea that when I'm nostrue del journal,
I have an accent to you that very arapist, very
quadtrain esque. That was a week ago, and yesterday it
became so Mike Rabel is the next head football coach
of the New England Patriots.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Let me see.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
For those of you that are Tennessee Titan fans listening,
we uh said Derek I mean he laughed, free agent.
But Baltimore gets Dereck Henry. They're probably going to the
super Bowl.
Speaker 13 (20:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Eagles got aj Brown.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
He's reading books on the sidelines on his way to
the divisional playoff round. And our coach, Mike Vrabel is
off to New England where they actually have a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
And what about DeAndre Hopkins He's gone to Casey.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, we got a nice stadium and no one to
play in it. Right, Maybe we should try the other
Amy Adams, the actress, see if she could take over
the team. We have one final piece of the puzzle
tonight to place. It is the Minnesota Vikings. Remember the
Vikings played the Lions in Detroit, winner gets a bye
(21:19):
and is a number one seed in the NFC. Loser
falls all the way to was it a fifth seed
and now finds itself playing the Rams, not in Los
Angeles because of fire, but in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Glendiale will be exact.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I think the Rams could be the Baltimore Ravens of
the NFC, meaning I still think Baltimore to me looks
like the team headed to the Super Bowl, not the Chiefs,
not even the Bills in the NFC. Rooting for the Lions,
I'm worried about the Rams. And as good as the
(21:52):
Vikings are and as good of a season as they had,
they're going to have their hands full with the always
well coached and very talented La Rams. So that's a
final piece tonight ESPN at seven o'clock if you're just
waking up well.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Top stories all revolve around the fire.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Death toll has now risen again to twenty four. That
is sixteen in the Eton fire and in Altadena, and
about eight connected to the Palisades Fire in the city
of Los Angeles. The fire has now swept through forty
thousand acres in the greater Los Angeles area and has
destroyed more than twelve thousand, three hundred structures in terms
(22:32):
of containment going on at sixth day uncontained, the Palisades
Fire only with a thirteen percent containment, and here comes
hurricane Force Santa Ana wins in dry conditions, igniting more
fires today and tomorrow and maybe lowering some of these
containment numbers. So the Palisades Fire at thirteen percent containment,
(22:53):
the Eaton fires at twenty seven percent containment. Meanwhile, the
Los Angeles Police Department is warning about post fire record
if we can get to post fire post fire recovery scams.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Daniel Martindale has the details in a post share to
social media on Sunday. The lapedtails residents to look up
for false job solicitation scams, including job offers circulating on
social media that claim to be from the government or
reputable agencies. It is also worrying about people who are
posing as city, county, or federal employees and asking for
payment or other services. There is also concerned about phone
(23:26):
and text message scams in which colors ask for donations
for fire recovery or claim to be able to help
people impacted by the fires recover their losses. The LAPED
is inviting people to call its non emergency numbers to
verify badge numbers and credentials. I'm Daniel Martindale under the
headline of no you know what Sherlocke.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
California Governor Gavin Newsom says the wildfires around the LA
Area could end up being the costliest disaster in US history.
Speaker 14 (23:51):
Speaking on the NBC's Meet the Priors, Newsom said the fires,
which have already burned more than forty thousand acres, would
be the worst in terms of the cost, scale and scope.
This has more high winds are on the forecast that
could spread the blazers further. According to fire officials, more
than twelve thousand structures have been destroyed.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I mean you know things are bad when the Ukrainian
presidents and Lensky is offering help for the LA area.
Poor sanitation at a bores head factory in Virginia contributed
to the massive listeria outbreak of late last year, and
now a rise in respiratory illness is leading to more
hospital visits nationwide. The CDC data shows er visits for
(24:31):
influenza or respiratory virus are now very high in several
states with RSV and COVID nineteen cases increasing Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia. Hey,
I'm a part of those Tennessee numbers. Kentucky and New
Hampshire among the states reporting the biggest spikes. The symptoms
of RSV, flu and COVID nineteen are also very similar,
(24:53):
including fever, cough, shortness of breadth, congestion, and tiredness. Finally,
he can't not go to Italy. He had to cancel
his trip to see the Pope. But that's not going
to stop the President from giving the.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Pope a high honor.
Speaker 15 (25:07):
The White House made the announcement Saturday, noting that Biden
called the Pope a light of faith, hope, and love
that shines brightly across the world. The White House commended
Pope Francis for his commitment to serving the poor, as
well as advocating for peace and protecting the planet. The
President canceled his trip to the Vatican this weekend to
monitor the wildfires in southern California. I'm Lisa Carton Dene
(25:30):
Thieves two.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Pantera stole the top spot at the box office this weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's not about the money. It's about the challenge. It's
very much about the money.
Speaker 16 (25:38):
The High sequel starring Gerard Butler, grossed an estimated fifteen
point five million dollars in its debut weekend. It dethroned
Mufasa the Lion King, which fell the second with an
estimated thirteen point five million. Sonic The Hedgehog three stayed
in the race with an eleven million dollar gross to
take third. Elsewhere, Robbie william biopic Better Man had a
(26:01):
disappointing wide release, bringing in just one million dollars. Meanwhile,
The Brutalist, the new three and a half hour long
piece from a twenty four roast over one point three million,
despite only playing on under seventy screens.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'm Michael Casner, the first.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Half of the Salmon Dave duo R and B star
Sam Moore, has died.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
Moore rose to fame in the nineteen sixties as one
half of the duo Salmon Dave, who had a string
of hits on both the pop and R and B charts,
including the classics hold On, I'm Covin and sol Nan.
Sam and Dave were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in nineteen ninety two. Or also had
a lengthy solo career and performed with numerous stars, including
Don Henley and Bruce Springsteen. Sam Moore died Friday in
(26:51):
Coral Gables, Florida, post surgery complications. He was eighty nine
years old. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
In the NFL Playoffs, every single game the home team
won until last night, every single game the divisional winner one.
Until last night. Every single game was a bore and
stunk until last night, when the Commanders, after a fumble
by Baker Mayfield, joint their way to the divisional playoff round,
(27:19):
winning twenty three to twenty over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
So Lions will host the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Eagles will play the winner of the Rams and the Vikings,
who played tonight in Phoenix. Kansas City has Houston, Buffalo,
has Baltimore. Bucks lost to the Nuggets or to the Knicks. Rather,
MAVs fell to the Nuggets, Kings lost by five to
the Bulls, Calves lost to the Pacers, thunder by forty
one over the Wizards, Suns one over the Hornets won
twenty one to thirteen.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
On the ice.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
All of our City teams, with the exceptions the one
that was playing another Your Morning Show City one. So
the Red Wings beat the Kraken six to two, Stars
lost three to two to the Senators. Lightning winners five
to two over the Penguins and the Ducks one three
two in overtime over the Caines.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Senate will start confirmation hearings this week for some of
President elect Trump's cabinet picks.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Ukrainian President.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
You know things are bad in LA when the Ukrainian
President's offering to send firefighters to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, in
Los Angeles, the death toll has now risen to twenty four.
We have forty thousand acres in the Greater Los Angeles
area that the fire has swept through. The containment levels
are thirteen percent for the Palisades Fire and twenty seven
(28:35):
percent for the deadly Eaten fire. Roy O'Neil er, your
Morning show correspondent, nationally, is joining us and Rory. As
you know, the hurricane Force Santa Ana wins in dry
conditions are going to wreak havoc on these numbers and
make them even worse.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Today and tomorrow.
Speaker 13 (28:50):
Right, Yeah, they will, And a lot of progress was
made over the weekend. I don't know, I got sucked
in watching the video feeds for operas on the end,
especially on Saturday. Just incredible to see those tanker planes
and the helicopters sort of doing this choreographed dance over
parts of the Los Angeles County area. But all that
(29:11):
progress could get wiped away if these winds are bad
and force the helicopters and airplanes to remain grounded because
of dangerous conditions.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Well, and then you have the dry conditions and the
wind and the flying embers and a sixty four percent
chance of igniting new fires. It is a worst case
scenario playing out today, six days since the fire began.
All right, we also had to lay in the Blue
Origin launch for Jeff Bezos and his team.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Where does that stand.
Speaker 13 (29:41):
Yeah, we have not gotten a new launch date or
time just yet. You know, because it's a private company,
they don't have to tell us everything that's going on.
But we did learn that they had some technical problems
as they tried their launch this morning.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Not surprising.
Speaker 13 (29:55):
It's the first time they've ever launched this thing and
it's three hundred and twenty feet tall, so it's a
lot to manage at Cape Canaveral, And this is a
big milestone for Blue Origin. They've been successful flying those
little rockets out of Texas, sending Captain Kirk up to
space and all, but this is the much more serious
part of their endeavor, trying to get heavy lift operations
(30:18):
going from Florida so that they can send more materials
into space and ultimately.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
To the Moon and Mars.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
All Right, Rory has spent most of his life following
the space program. As have high, as have high, I
think we might. I would assume we're going to agree
on this.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
John F.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Kennedy came into office thinking there was a missile gap
in the soviets favor. I presume he was pleasantly surprised
to find out it was in our favor. But there
was a race, And Kennedy's explanation always was, just as
air changed wars forever, just as sea changed wars forever,
space would change war forever, and so good had to
(30:56):
get to space and rule space before Evil that it
would be a defining defense system. And then it kind
of got translated into this race beating the Soviets to
the Moon and we started behind, and we caught up
quickly and we got there first.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Are we trying to create a competition between.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Bezos and Musk in the same way just to kind of,
you know, spur progress and speed in which we achieve
or is this a real competition.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Well there's some of that.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
And you know SpaceX and Blue Origin, the Bezos company,
they compete for business from NASA. I think NASA is
trying to get two companies so they don't put all
their eggs in one basket. We keep learning the hard
way that, for instance, the space Shuttle program. When we
lost the Shuttle, we had no access to the space
station unless we went to Russia in order to get
(31:48):
a ride to the space station we largely paid for.
And in this case, they want to have healthy, other,
healthy space commercial space industry so that they don't rely
just on Elon Musk because that's not good. Competition is
designed to lower the cost of things, and we hope
that that's what having companies like Boeing and SpaceX and
(32:09):
Blue Origin and others all in the mix.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Meanwhile, Butch and Sunny still in space for O'Neill always
gets the final story.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Thanks for your reporting today.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
All right Tomorrow night at ninth Central, ten Eastern is
a ninety minute documentary.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I think it's interesting that it's going to air on PBS.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Imagine Newt and Callistic Gingrich, the former Speaker and his
wife executive producing a documentary on immigration, and it's not
airing on Fox or Fox Nation, it's airing on PBS.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
That's interesting to dust out.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
How do you pick nine of the more extraordinary stories
of immigration and its impact on America and in the
midst of this debate that is clearly.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
About a matrix.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Open borders, were a nation founded on immigrants or sovereignation,
secured border, legal migration and the right kind of migration
to improve the country, and assimilation after these are all
important topics. Perhaps these nine lives featured in this documentary
(33:25):
Journey to America with Newton, Calistic Ingridge, will help America
see that a little bit differently. We're going to visit
with the Speaker about just that tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael nil Journe
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Pretty excited.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Tomorrow on your Morning Show, Speaker Newt Gingrich will be
joining us. He and his wife co host a ninety
minute documentary film they were also the executive producers, called
Journey to America. They're going to look at nine different
lives that immigrated legally to the United States and made
an impact. I often talk about the sins of mission
(01:00):
with the legal immigration, but what about the sins of
omission of legal immigration failures. This documentary, and of all
places PBS will be interesting to watch. The speaker will
join us tomorrow right here on your Morning Show. Art
If you're just waking up the death toll has risen
to twenty four. In the wildfires in Los Angeles, containment
(01:21):
is hard to find. We're looking at thirteen percent containment
in the Palisite Palisades fire, twenty seven percent containment in
the Eton fire, and now more Santa Anna hurricane strength
wins kicking up today and tomorrow, making new fires possible
as well as containment less likely. So we'll keep our
(01:43):
eye on the fires in Los Angeles heading into day six.
We also have the Senate that's going to be starting
the process of confirmation hearings ten this week. Joining us
now in the liveline is Chris Walker. He is a
Republican consultant and analyst and a your Morning show regular.
You know we were looking red and eye off the air, Chris.
At the confirmation votes for Joe Biden's cabinet, people would
(02:07):
be surprised to note very few were close. Blincoln seventy
eight to twenty two, Yelling eighty four to fifteen. In fact,
i'll cut to the chase. The only two that were
even close was Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Bikara
was fifty to forty nine and may Orcus ironically fifty
six to forty three.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The others were not close.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So my question to you is how much of this
not even getting to the atmosphere of this transition, but
in general, is this overplayed? I mean, the likelihood that
any of these may not get through pretty slim, right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
The Democrats play a different neopolitics and Republicans have generally done.
I mean, I think that's part of Donald Trump's you know,
frustration with the Senate sometimes that Republicans would would play
the nine gentlemanly cards for lack of a better term,
and the Democrats would play the knuckles, you know, back
back for all fighting. So that that that applied to
(03:05):
Joe Biden in his effort too.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
So, you know, I think there will be some fights here. Democrats,
there's a very.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Slim majority in the Senate. There's several kind of Republicans
that are still kind of you know, uh, wary of
of partisan fights for lack of a better word, and
so I think some of these will be more difficult.
We saw that with you know, Pete Hegsat's nomination in November,
where people were kind of trying to push back, so
Johnny and Ors and others trying to kind of suggest
(03:32):
maybe there was not not some support there. We saw
that with Matt Gates. Obviously he kind of had to
a drawn because there wasn't supporting the Senate. And you know,
I'm hearing that there's gonna be a you know, a definite, uh.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Difficult path for r K.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So you know, there's there's several pieces here where the
Democrats are aligned and Republicans sometimes don't do the same thing,
and that's.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Where some of these fights come from.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
But it's going to take Republicans to throw and they will,
but I mean, that's that's what they will. So you know,
unfortunately that you know that there is not that same
unanimity of political purpose that you see from Democrats and
the Republicans. And sometimes that's a good thing. But in
case like cabinet appointments, where you have a clear mandate
(04:17):
from the country to have Trump have his kicks in there,
I think you're going to see some some Republicans wavering
and uh, you know, trying to play a little bit
of this game, a little bit more than the Democrats
would in similar circumstances.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And you see you didn't mention Telsey Gabbard, but you
see RFKG set.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I think is kind of.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I think he Sets has turned it around and I
think he'll be fine. Uh you know, I just I
mean more along the line of like it took some
some real grassroots effort to get hag Sets into a
better position. He had to really fight, you know, I
I am hearing that r f K, the RFK nomination
is going to be a challenge.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
You know, we'll see.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I think, you know, the president does have the that
you know, should should have his you know, picks confirmed.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
But you know, sometimes the Senate gets gets.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Voices in their head outside of the political process that
kind of can gum some of these things up.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
We were talking with John Decker about how the left
should be careful. Fifty four percent of the American people
support the way Donald Trump is handling the presidential transition.
Uh there, you know, doesn't seem to be a lot
of grace for troublemaking right now. Should the Republicans need
that warning as well?
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Absolutely? I mean again, I point to Jony Erst.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I mean he kind of came out waftling on hegstats
and there was a huge graphswell of support saying watch
out or you know, we may primary you you know,
there's a big power, you know ship happening in the
Republican Party still to this day, and so those types
of things are being watched and being noticed. So yes,
I think Republicans, you know, should would understand the need
(05:58):
to kind of.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Get in line.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Although I mean, you know, again, and look, I'm a
I'm a constitutionalist and conservative first before proprior Republican.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I mean, I've talked about that a lot.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
But you know, the Senate does have a role in this,
and that there are some people that don't meet the
measure of some sense that's okay, but in this instance,
you know, I think trust picking some really good people,
and it will have to be a very strong measure
to say that hey, this isn't this person is a
qualified GERNO department or an agency.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Republican consult Chris Walker joining us. I'm not going to
relitigate the litigate the whole you know, issue of matrix.
But thanks to the social dilemma, thanks to the death
of journalism, a matrix has formed in the country. People
on the far left and people on the far right
living in silos only talking to people that think like them,
(06:44):
reading what they read. We don't have news, we don't
have news consumers. We just have narratives and narrative repeaters.
I think some of that has been broken in the
twenty twenty four election cycle. Clearly the narrative didn't work.
Clearly the silencing of opposition views didn't work, mainly because
Elon Musk bought X and formed a coalition along with
(07:05):
RFK Junior and Telsea Gabbard and Donald Trump. But we
see them, we see the matrix still in place with
these fires in Los Angeles. The left narrative is this
is the result of global warming denial. The right narrative,
this is DEI focus and failed governance. That's why LA
is burning to the ground. How not whether which side
of the matrix is right in Los Angeles? How alive
(07:27):
and well is the matrix and has it perhaps even
been decoded and debunked and died beyond the twenty twenty
four election cycle.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Well, I mean that's a really good question, Michael.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
You know, honestly, I think that it's still breathing, but
it's on life support.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
To a degree, because there still is a huge bloss
of the country.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I mean, look at the joy reads and the MSNBC's
of Jinsati going out there and blaming Trump as if
he's still has in office today.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
You know, the skepticism and.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
The unwillingness of just taking narratives at face value is
what's the most important piece of it. There's still going
to be these narratives that get pushed out there. The
Democrats have invested one hundred years of time and resources
and thought into these destructive narratives. They're not going to
just give up because Elon bought Twitter, but poking holes
in them and having that ability to say this isn't,
(08:22):
this isn't the reality of it, I think is important.
What the real you know, kind of metric to look
at is, you know, California to become more purple instead
of just bright blue because of things like this. People
are seeing the failure of liberal governance in real time.
That Karen Bass, you know.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Refusing to even show a sympathetic.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Answer to a question on an airplane tarmac shows that,
you know, there's this this disconnect from liberal leadership to
the people.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
That they're supposedly serving. So for that real way that
was going.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
To be hidden before.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Or how about Governor Newsom suspending the state environmental rules
for rebuilding after the fires temporarily, and of course everybody's
gonna be saying this should be the normal process. This
is why we have a housing shortage, that's why housing
is unaffordable. Uh, there's gonna be a lot of connecting
of dots through this pain that could change the way
because at the end of the day, if in fact
you have incompetence and leadership position, the voters put them there,
(09:17):
so they're gonna the byproduct is gonna be they're gonna
relook at how they're electing people, which is something that's
kind of a hot topic for you in general.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
And it's not just the fire that we view this.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Although Karen Bass could be an example, Joe Biden could
be a great example.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
We have to start looking.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
At recruiting smart leaders in executive positions in industries versus
career politicians. That's where I see that where the tread
trend could go and quite frankly should go.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Executive positions are not you know, pinnacles of a political
you know, a career politician's career. You know, like, these
are people, these are big jobs where people need to
be running stuff. Karen Bass was a backbencher congresswoman who
was on Joe Biden's shortlist to be VP, and she's
proven herself to be having been completely incomfident in the job,
(10:10):
hiring people who were not really qualified for the jobs
they were in. You know, But the politics of this
are are really important, and so yeah, I think executives
should be thinking looking at this to try to step
up more. We saw that, you know, in that mayor's
race in Los Angeles, Karen bass Beat. I can't remember
the guy's name on top of my head, sorry, but
(10:30):
you know, his his developments, pawfits didn't burn up because
he took the requirements and the cautions to do it.
That's kind of the leadership that we need. It's not
just about politics. And I would say that's part of
the reason why Donald Trust was so successful. He was
an executive that came out of government to say I'm
going to run because I care about the country. It's
not a career pinnacle for me. It's like I see
(10:51):
a problem and I want to solve it. So being
open to that idea of having these outside executives, business
leaders coming in saying like I have skills that could
be performed here, I think are important pieces of that
puzzle of like how we choose our leaders. At least
in me, they can bring it. So it's a difference
for you know, legislators. I think there's a reason to
be said, Hey, if I'm in the legislation, I've been
there for a while, like, okay, fine, you probably know
(11:13):
what you're doing, So that doesn't mean you can run
you know, a twenty billion dollar a year kind of
stay budget.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
So those are the types of things people need to be.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Thinking about as they think about executives over the next
few years, because we're seeing it in real time here
in California.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
You can chalk this up to Jimmy Carter died and
and then I started looking at old videos, and I'm
watching this old interview with sixty minutes. And it wasn't
long before I started watching some of these old interviews.
I remembered that I'm gonna use the word creepy, and
it's not to be mean. It was just I remember
as a teenager, I would see it and there was
(11:47):
something discernibly awkward for me to see. But Jimmy Carter
would get a big smile and kind of like an
evil look in his eye when he would say certain things,
and I was reminded of that watching these videos, and
then it got to potential candidates. Now this is nineteen
eighty four, coming out of the first term of Ronald Reagan,
and guess who Jimmy Carter was schlepping that. Everybody forgets
(12:09):
Leiahcoca and wanted him bad.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So, I mean, this is not new that.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
America comes to these employees, where it goes through cycles
where it's kind of had it with career politicians that
know how to win political races but don't know how
to run the offices once they're elected. That seems to
kind of be birthing in addition to everything else that's
going on right now. And I think you got your
finger on it. We'll keep an eye on don't lose
(12:35):
that thought. Let's keep an eye on that in the
year two three ahead. Chris Walker has always appreciated Please.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Please don't make me like Jimmy Carter. Let's let's never
do that again.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
You don't have that, You don't have that weird eye
thing going with.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Your smile, and your smile is authentic.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
But no, it was a very very Lloyd Benson like
ey smile that Jimmy Carter had in common with Lloyd Benson.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Go back, see if you catch that.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
But yeah, I thought it was interesting that you know,
long before Donald Trump. And by the way, that would
be right about the time Oprah was so curious with
Donald Trump, would you run for president? Because we talk
a lot about trump Ism and where it goes after
Donald Trump, and it may not necessarily go to maga
(13:20):
Trump lieutenants. As much as this notion of proven industrial
economic leaders versus career politicians, I want to leave that
on the radar for us to keep an eye.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I appreciated Chris Walker.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
As always, we'll talk next Monday or sooner if conditions warrant.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
All right, I'm gonna make a brief statement and then
I'll take just a couple of your questions. After extensive
examination at the Vanderbilt Clinic, it was determined that I
am suffering from brainfluenza, which is known as the adult croup.
I had also developed a secondary case of bronchitis as
(14:04):
a result of the flu. I was giving an X
ray to rule out any pneumonia and received a breathing treatment,
and the prognosis is a slow recovery over the next
seven to fourteen days and I plan to continue to
work even though I'm sick.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yes, right in the front row.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Yeah, we have a question, Jeff Line, producer of your
morning show, just want to know is this contagious?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yes, very although we are not in the same room
as you know. Dumb question. How about the Wisconsin reporter
from Eauclaire in the front row?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Boy, I knew that.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Out of just waking up Top five stories today. Numeral
UNO Vice president elect jd Vance is pushing back against
any ridiculous claims that Trump administration will withhole disaster relief
from California following the deadly fires. Appearing on Fox News Sunday,
Vance said, poor governance. That's the big reason for the
the destruction that we're seeing in the Los Angeles area.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
I mean, some of these reservoirs have been dry for
fifteen twenty years. The fire hydrants are being reported as
going dry while the fire fighters are trying to put
out these fires. There is a serious lack of competent
governance in California, and I think it's part of the
reason why these fires have gotten so bad. We need
to do a better job at both the state and
federal level.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
The incoming Vice president promised the upcoming administration will prioritize
disaster response, and.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
I do think, frankly, the federal government has to do
a better job. President Trump is committed to doing a
better job when it comes to disaster relief. That's true
for the hurricane victims and flood victims in North Carolina.
That's true for the fire victims in California.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
La Mayor Karen Bass has her hands full with a
fire that is not contained, but she's moved on to
urging residents to report any illegal price gouging in the
wake of the deadly fires.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
A Sornia law prohibits successive and unjustified price increases for
essential goods and services during a state of emergency. It
also applies to the prices of construction services, hotel lodging,
and residential rental properties. Governor Kevin Newsome declareda state of
emergency for Los Angeles last Tuesday when the Palisades, Eaton
and Hearst fires started.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I'm General Martin Dill.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael dil Jorona.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Hi, I'm Michael I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We're heard on great stations like News Talk five point
fifty k f YI and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety
k EX in Portland and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle.
Make us a part of your morning routine. We'd love
to have you listen live. But in the meantime, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Welcome to Monday, January, the thirteenth year of Our Lord
twenty twenty five. Can't have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Don't forget.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You don't have to rot on hold anymore and wait
to be called upon. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
there's a talkback feature microphone press it count you down
three two one, ask your question, immediately, make your comment immediately,
and we can add you to the show, just like
Roger here on the talkback.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
Regard warning Michael regarding your comment about the matrix between
global warming and mismanagement in the LA fires. Even if
I can see that it's global warming, that would make
the management even more important. All that underbrush should have
been removed, Things like storing water should have been done
in a much better manner, so even in that it's
(17:28):
still mismanagement in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Why do I sense that that man has a pillow
and a blanket on his sofa?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Sounds like is that red? It sounds like red.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Then he disappears, We get a strange call by a guida.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, it's a great point.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Look, you know catastrophic man caused global warming. No, that's
an agenda and a narrative the climate change. We're definitely
in a warm, windy, dry cycle. All the more reason
to be prepared. Junior Listeningville. Hey, Michael, this is a
natural cure for a cough. You might want to try.
Speaker 11 (18:04):
Take half of a red onion, chop it up, Take
four gallic clothes, chop them up, put them in a jar,
and put in a half a cup of honey, and
let's sit for twenty four hours, and then use it
as a cough serf.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It will work for me.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
A nice little salad dressing as well. I prefer what
I start with is a really nice tea, maybe a
black tea, if you will that I do about. I
don't measure anything, so I just turned the honey upside down,
squeeze it for about fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, to taste.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Then I take a onion and I just squeeze, you know,
about four seconds, maybe probably two tablespoons. And then I
add some bill may purchased single batch four roses bourbon.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh, and again I just pour and count for a
few seconds. I call that a hot toddy. It does work.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
In fact, the vand reel doctor said, of course it
works to suppress the call. But I will try that.
So red onion, garlic and honey and let it sit
for a day. I guess for the day.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I choke.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I'm not a big I told you so guy, but
I couldn't help but think. As the headline broke yesterday
afternoon that Mike Vrabel is the new head coach of
the New England Patriots, did it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Seems to me? Read? Was it Monday of last week?
It was Monday of last week.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
That I lost consciousness and noster Dell Jorno appeared.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
In fact, it sounded like this, and.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
What hey, hey, get the cold compresses, wake him up?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Hello?
Speaker 12 (19:53):
For it shall be hell indiable year. The Titan get
the pick flip, the Patriots get the coach.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Hey, hey, Dan, are you proud of me?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
First of all, I why do I always regain consciousness
asking my dad if he's proud of me?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I had no idea that when I'm nostrue del journal,
I have an accent to you that very arapist, very
quadtrain esque. That was a week ago, and yesterday it
became so Mike Rabel is the next head football coach
of the New England Patriots.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Let me see.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
For those of you that are Tennessee Titan fans listening,
we uh said Derek I mean he laughed, free agent.
But Baltimore gets Dereck Henry. They're probably going to the
super Bowl.
Speaker 13 (20:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Eagles got aj Brown.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
He's reading books on the sidelines on his way to
the divisional playoff round. And our coach, Mike Vrabel is
off to New England where they actually have a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
And what about DeAndre Hopkins He's gone to Casey.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, we got a nice stadium and no one to
play in it. Right, Maybe we should try the other
Amy Adams, the actress, see if she could take over
the team. We have one final piece of the puzzle
tonight to place. It is the Minnesota Vikings. Remember the
Vikings played the Lions in Detroit, winner gets a bye
(21:19):
and is a number one seed in the NFC. Loser
falls all the way to was it a fifth seed
and now finds itself playing the Rams, not in Los
Angeles because of fire, but in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Glendiale will be exact.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I think the Rams could be the Baltimore Ravens of
the NFC, meaning I still think Baltimore to me looks
like the team headed to the Super Bowl, not the Chiefs,
not even the Bills in the NFC. Rooting for the Lions,
I'm worried about the Rams. And as good as the
(21:52):
Vikings are and as good of a season as they had,
they're going to have their hands full with the always
well coached and very talented La Rams. So that's a
final piece tonight ESPN at seven o'clock if you're just
waking up well.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Top stories all revolve around the fire.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Death toll has now risen again to twenty four. That
is sixteen in the Eton fire and in Altadena, and
about eight connected to the Palisades Fire in the city
of Los Angeles. The fire has now swept through forty
thousand acres in the greater Los Angeles area and has
destroyed more than twelve thousand, three hundred structures in terms
(22:32):
of containment going on at sixth day uncontained, the Palisades
Fire only with a thirteen percent containment, and here comes
hurricane Force Santa Ana wins in dry conditions, igniting more
fires today and tomorrow and maybe lowering some of these
containment numbers. So the Palisades Fire at thirteen percent containment,
(22:53):
the Eaton fires at twenty seven percent containment. Meanwhile, the
Los Angeles Police Department is warning about post fire record
if we can get to post fire post fire recovery scams.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Daniel Martindale has the details in a post share to
social media on Sunday. The lapedtails residents to look up
for false job solicitation scams, including job offers circulating on
social media that claim to be from the government or
reputable agencies. It is also worrying about people who are
posing as city, county, or federal employees and asking for
payment or other services. There is also concerned about phone
(23:26):
and text message scams in which colors ask for donations
for fire recovery or claim to be able to help
people impacted by the fires recover their losses. The LAPED
is inviting people to call its non emergency numbers to
verify badge numbers and credentials. I'm Daniel Martindale under the
headline of no you know what Sherlocke.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
California Governor Gavin Newsom says the wildfires around the LA
Area could end up being the costliest disaster in US history.
Speaker 14 (23:51):
Speaking on the NBC's Meet the Priors, Newsom said the fires,
which have already burned more than forty thousand acres, would
be the worst in terms of the cost, scale and scope.
This has more high winds are on the forecast that
could spread the blazers further. According to fire officials, more
than twelve thousand structures have been destroyed.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I mean you know things are bad when the Ukrainian
presidents and Lensky is offering help for the LA area.
Poor sanitation at a bores head factory in Virginia contributed
to the massive listeria outbreak of late last year, and
now a rise in respiratory illness is leading to more
hospital visits nationwide. The CDC data shows er visits for
(24:31):
influenza or respiratory virus are now very high in several
states with RSV and COVID nineteen cases increasing Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia. Hey,
I'm a part of those Tennessee numbers. Kentucky and New
Hampshire among the states reporting the biggest spikes. The symptoms
of RSV, flu and COVID nineteen are also very similar,
(24:53):
including fever, cough, shortness of breadth, congestion, and tiredness. Finally,
he can't not go to Italy. He had to cancel
his trip to see the Pope. But that's not going
to stop the President from giving the.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Pope a high honor.
Speaker 15 (25:07):
The White House made the announcement Saturday, noting that Biden
called the Pope a light of faith, hope, and love
that shines brightly across the world. The White House commended
Pope Francis for his commitment to serving the poor, as
well as advocating for peace and protecting the planet. The
President canceled his trip to the Vatican this weekend to
monitor the wildfires in southern California. I'm Lisa Carton Dene
(25:30):
Thieves two.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Pantera stole the top spot at the box office this weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's not about the money. It's about the challenge. It's
very much about the money.
Speaker 16 (25:38):
The High sequel starring Gerard Butler, grossed an estimated fifteen
point five million dollars in its debut weekend. It dethroned
Mufasa the Lion King, which fell the second with an
estimated thirteen point five million. Sonic The Hedgehog three stayed
in the race with an eleven million dollar gross to
take third. Elsewhere, Robbie william biopic Better Man had a
(26:01):
disappointing wide release, bringing in just one million dollars. Meanwhile,
The Brutalist, the new three and a half hour long
piece from a twenty four roast over one point three million,
despite only playing on under seventy screens.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'm Michael Casner, the first.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Half of the Salmon Dave duo R and B star
Sam Moore, has died.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
Moore rose to fame in the nineteen sixties as one
half of the duo Salmon Dave, who had a string
of hits on both the pop and R and B charts,
including the classics hold On, I'm Covin and sol Nan.
Sam and Dave were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in nineteen ninety two. Or also had
a lengthy solo career and performed with numerous stars, including
Don Henley and Bruce Springsteen. Sam Moore died Friday in
(26:51):
Coral Gables, Florida, post surgery complications. He was eighty nine
years old. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
In the NFL Playoffs, every single game the home team
won until last night, every single game the divisional winner one.
Until last night. Every single game was a bore and
stunk until last night, when the Commanders, after a fumble
by Baker Mayfield, joint their way to the divisional playoff round,
(27:19):
winning twenty three to twenty over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
So Lions will host the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Eagles will play the winner of the Rams and the Vikings,
who played tonight in Phoenix. Kansas City has Houston, Buffalo,
has Baltimore. Bucks lost to the Nuggets or to the Knicks. Rather,
MAVs fell to the Nuggets, Kings lost by five to
the Bulls, Calves lost to the Pacers, thunder by forty
one over the Wizards, Suns one over the Hornets won
twenty one to thirteen.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
On the ice.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
All of our City teams, with the exceptions the one
that was playing another Your Morning Show City one. So
the Red Wings beat the Kraken six to two, Stars
lost three to two to the Senators. Lightning winners five
to two over the Penguins and the Ducks one three
two in overtime over the Caines.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Senate will start confirmation hearings this week for some of
President elect Trump's cabinet picks.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Ukrainian President.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
You know things are bad in LA when the Ukrainian
President's offering to send firefighters to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, in
Los Angeles, the death toll has now risen to twenty four.
We have forty thousand acres in the Greater Los Angeles
area that the fire has swept through. The containment levels
are thirteen percent for the Palisades Fire and twenty seven
(28:35):
percent for the deadly Eaten fire. Roy O'Neil er, your
Morning show correspondent, nationally, is joining us and Rory. As
you know, the hurricane Force Santa Ana wins in dry
conditions are going to wreak havoc on these numbers and
make them even worse.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Today and tomorrow.
Speaker 13 (28:50):
Right, Yeah, they will, And a lot of progress was
made over the weekend. I don't know, I got sucked
in watching the video feeds for operas on the end,
especially on Saturday. Just incredible to see those tanker planes
and the helicopters sort of doing this choreographed dance over
parts of the Los Angeles County area. But all that
(29:11):
progress could get wiped away if these winds are bad
and force the helicopters and airplanes to remain grounded because
of dangerous conditions.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Well, and then you have the dry conditions and the
wind and the flying embers and a sixty four percent
chance of igniting new fires. It is a worst case
scenario playing out today, six days since the fire began.
All right, we also had to lay in the Blue
Origin launch for Jeff Bezos and his team.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Where does that stand.
Speaker 13 (29:41):
Yeah, we have not gotten a new launch date or
time just yet. You know, because it's a private company,
they don't have to tell us everything that's going on.
But we did learn that they had some technical problems
as they tried their launch this morning.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Not surprising.
Speaker 13 (29:55):
It's the first time they've ever launched this thing and
it's three hundred and twenty feet tall, so it's a
lot to manage at Cape Canaveral, And this is a
big milestone for Blue Origin. They've been successful flying those
little rockets out of Texas, sending Captain Kirk up to
space and all, but this is the much more serious
part of their endeavor, trying to get heavy lift operations
(30:18):
going from Florida so that they can send more materials
into space and ultimately.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
To the Moon and Mars.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
All Right, Rory has spent most of his life following
the space program. As have high, as have high, I
think we might. I would assume we're going to agree
on this.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
John F.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Kennedy came into office thinking there was a missile gap
in the soviets favor. I presume he was pleasantly surprised
to find out it was in our favor. But there
was a race, And Kennedy's explanation always was, just as
air changed wars forever, just as sea changed wars forever,
space would change war forever, and so good had to
(30:56):
get to space and rule space before Evil that it
would be a defining defense system. And then it kind
of got translated into this race beating the Soviets to
the Moon and we started behind, and we caught up
quickly and we got there first.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Are we trying to create a competition between.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Bezos and Musk in the same way just to kind of,
you know, spur progress and speed in which we achieve
or is this a real competition.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Well there's some of that.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
And you know SpaceX and Blue Origin, the Bezos company,
they compete for business from NASA. I think NASA is
trying to get two companies so they don't put all
their eggs in one basket. We keep learning the hard
way that, for instance, the space Shuttle program. When we
lost the Shuttle, we had no access to the space
station unless we went to Russia in order to get
(31:48):
a ride to the space station we largely paid for.
And in this case, they want to have healthy, other,
healthy space commercial space industry so that they don't rely
just on Elon Musk because that's not good. Competition is
designed to lower the cost of things, and we hope
that that's what having companies like Boeing and SpaceX and
(32:09):
Blue Origin and others all in the mix.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Meanwhile, Butch and Sunny still in space for O'Neill always
gets the final story.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Thanks for your reporting today.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
All right Tomorrow night at ninth Central, ten Eastern is
a ninety minute documentary.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I think it's interesting that it's going to air on PBS.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Imagine Newt and Callistic Gingrich, the former Speaker and his
wife executive producing a documentary on immigration, and it's not
airing on Fox or Fox Nation, it's airing on PBS.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
That's interesting to dust out.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
How do you pick nine of the more extraordinary stories
of immigration and its impact on America and in the
midst of this debate that is clearly.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
About a matrix.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Open borders, were a nation founded on immigrants or sovereignation,
secured border, legal migration and the right kind of migration
to improve the country, and assimilation after these are all
important topics. Perhaps these nine lives featured in this documentary
(33:25):
Journey to America with Newton, Calistic Ingridge, will help America
see that a little bit differently. We're going to visit
with the Speaker about just that tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
