Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael Del JOHNO, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News
Talk six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio
five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're
(00:20):
here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The Golden Age of America begins right now, one, two.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Three, starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Del john.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
From this day forward, our country.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
And with that, Donald Trump proceeded to have a very
bold and busy, triumphant day. Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday,
the twenty first of January. You have our Lord twenty
twenty five on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app this is your morning show. I'm Michael del Trona. Well,
if you're just waking up. Donald Trump took immediate action
(01:24):
returning to the presidency, including freezing all government hiring, ordering
federal workers back to the office full time, signing an
executive order aimed at tackling the TikTok band, withdrawing from
the World Health Organization, and signing an executive order partnering
roughly fifteen hundred people convicted on January sixth riots. That's
(01:44):
just to name a few of the executive orders yesterday. Meanwhile,
the Biden family snuck out of town with one last
secret pardon for his entire family. More on that than
just a bit. And the Buckeyes are your national champions.
That would be the first since twenty fourteen and ninth
in program history. And that's it for college football in
(02:04):
twenty twenty five. Now we got snow in New Orleans,
and we got Santa Ana wins.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Returning to California.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Roy o'neili is our national correspondent, joining us with the
latest done Mother Nature's wrath. We had talked about late
last week about how they need to make a lot
of progress in the next five days. Because the high
winds are returning. Well, how much progress did they make
because they're come to high winds.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Right, Those Santa Anna's were returning not as bad, but
still you know, if it can if it threatens aviation operations,
that's when they become a problem because those helicopters and
airplanes are so effective at fighting these fires. The Big
Palisades fire has burned about twenty four thousand acres. It's
now nearly sixty six oho percent contained. That was the
(02:47):
last report yesterday morning. The Eton fire, which I think
has actually been more destructive, that's about eighty seven percent
contained after burning fourteen thousand acres. So a lot of
good progress has been made over the past four or
five days. But everyone needs to be on high alert.
That is the quote from the mayor of La yesterday.
(03:07):
As there are red flag warnings still up until about
one o'clock this afternoon Eastern time.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It's going to drive people crazy. You'll hear me make
references to being born in Flint, Michigan, outside of Detroit,
which made adding nine ten the superstation of Detroit so
special to me. But we left when I was five,
and then I was in Chicago from five to thirteen
and then New Orleans from thirteen to twenty whatever, So
I kind of grew up in both places. I cannot imagine,
(03:34):
and I've seen some bad drivers. We've got some pretty
bad drivers here in Nashville. The worst, like a third
world country, is New Orleans, and I can't imagine them
driving in snow. They're going to all end up in
a canal snow in New Orleans and a lot of it.
That's another It's probably the strangest of the weather, right.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I think they're going to get two to four inches
of rain in the Florida Panhandle. So imagine Pensacola, Panama City, Tallahassee,
all covered ino. A lot of the worst weather starts
to arrive. Tonight Mobile is also expecting snow, so pretty
remarkable because these places don't have plows, they don't have
standing trucks, so they you know, they really are stock
(04:12):
and essentially telling everyone stay home, so that what does
that happen? So what happens when you tell everyone to
stay home in the South, They get in their four
wheel drive pickup truck and see what they can do.
So that's what we're expecting over the next forty eight hours.
Or so not by the way they declared a state
of emergency in Florida, and in the official declaration of
the emergency those first whereas here for too therefore, whereas
(04:37):
a low pressure system is approaching from the Gulf of America.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
That's Rory's tease for when he comes back next half hour.
Donald Trump seems to mean business about everything he's promised
and everything the American people elected him to do, including
perhaps Golf of America.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Roy'll be back with that story, all right.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Joe Biden partoned his family members in his final moments.
I say it was his final acts, and he was
already on the podium with Donald Trump taking the oath
of office when they finalized these pardons. A pretty dark, cowardly,
sneaky way to do it. But what did he do well?
He pardoned his brother, James Biden. I think that's what
(05:17):
this is all about. After all, it was James and
Hunter that coordinated the deals with Big Guy in the
Vice President's office. They went ahead him through in Valerie Biden's,
Sarah Jones Biden, John t Owens, Francis W.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Biden.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
But it's really about covering his brother. Fine justified his
preemptive pardons, contending his family has been subjected to unrelenting
attacks and threats. Look at what Donald Trump and his
family have been through, According to Joe Biden, the worst
(05:59):
kind of partisan politics, adding, unfortunately, I have no reason
to believe these attacks will end, Biden wrote in a
statement twenty minutes before the end of his presidency. I
believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic
that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail
over politics. But baseless and politically motivated investigations can I
(06:22):
mean the level of hypocrisy in this statement breathtaking. It
should literally be taking your breath away or making you
want to projectile vomit rekaboc on the live safety and
financial security of target individuals and their families. Each when
(06:45):
these individuals have nothing done, nothing wrong and will ultimately
be exonerated. You know this begs the question, you know,
with these kinds of preemptive blanket pardons, Now, obviously it
would take Joe Biden's brother or even his son to
do something illegal starting today. The faucis are hilarious because
(07:08):
they're dated back to twenty fourteen. Why all the way
to twenty fourteen. What does that scream and tell you
about Fauci's role and gain a function probably in China.
But even though they have pardons, doesn't mean you can't
(07:29):
still investigate him. Doesn't mean you can't still expose. They
may not be able to go to prison, but you
can expose how corrupt they were, so that history gets
it right and the future never falls for it. Again,
Red said something yesterday, and I think I brought it
up with Rory. Very insightful, careful what you ask for.
(07:56):
This could have been a very big mistake because Joe
Biden may have just made things worse for himself and
all the last minute pardons he did yesterday, like Fauci
and Millie and his family members, how could a backfire?
A pardon means they can't prosecute you, but they can
(08:18):
still investigate you. An individual would be compelled to now
answer questions, can't believe the fifth because there's no threat
of incrimination any longer. It is conceivable we may be
able to get to the bottom of the corruption more
(08:44):
crystal clear than we ever could have had he not
pardoned them. Now it's not about getting political retribution because
Biden's gone. It's about showing how abuse of power happens.
(09:06):
And I think this is what America is tired of.
Career politicians entering ordinary citizens and leaving office shortly before
or after the toe tag millionaires. They're supposed to go
and be servant leaders for our prosperity and security, not
(09:26):
their own. And if they're using their offices for stock ventures,
for international business deals, that needs to be exposed. And
in the process of exposing it, good luck bleeding the
(09:47):
fifth because with no threat of incrimination, you have to speak.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Or potentially sing like a canary.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Now, Donald Trump was very, very busy yesterday. Where would
we begin? From the resolute desk in the Oval Office,
he signed off on releasing more than fifteen hundred charged
with crimes stemming for the January sixth attack on the Capitol.
(10:18):
Trump didn't put it in the inaugural address, but he
made references at virtually every other room he went to
that He offered Nancy Pelosi, ten thousand troops, listen, the
sergeant of Arms is in charge of securing the Capitol.
The sergeant of the Arms reports to the Speaker of
the House. That was Nancy Pelosi. Weeks prior to the event,
(10:40):
there were threats on that day from outsider groups. The
Sergeant of Arms went to Nancy Pelosi. Donald Trump offered
her ten thousand guard troops. She turned it all down.
It was a trap. Then Donald Trump throws his rally
walks right into it. The President went ahead and signed
(11:05):
off on releasing more than fifteen hundred effective Immediately, Trump
pulled the security clearances of more than fifty national security
officers who said Hunter Biden's laptop had all the classic
era marks of Russian information operation. A total of fifty
one former national security officials released a public letter in
(11:25):
twenty twenty claiming that even though the laptop did not
have any evidence of Russian involvement, it looked like a
Russian information operation.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
He pulls all of their clearances.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
The first order of business was the recision of seventy
eight Biden era executive order actions and memoranda Gone America.
Seventy five percent of America thinks we're heading in the
wrong direction. Well you're not anymore. In one sweeping signature,
a regulatory freeze preventing bureaucrats from using any more regulations
(12:02):
until we have control of the government quote unquote, a
freeze on all federal hiring except in the military, and
a number of other excluded categories. A requirement that the
federal workers return to work if they're full time in
person no longer once a week. Directing agencies to address
America's cost of living crisis, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement
(12:25):
and informing the United Nations that the US is withdrawing
from the landmark climate Treaty. Also withdrawing from the World
Health Organization. Ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and
preventing government censorship of freedom of speech moving forward.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
A directive.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
This was signed actually the Capital I Center in front
of twenty thousand sharing fans, a director to the federal
government ending the weaponization of government against the political adversaries
of the previous administration. It was a very very emphant
bold and busy first day for the president, and a
(13:06):
busy Joe Biden scrambling to cover his family on his
way out the door.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Just some of what happened yesterday in one segment.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Impossible to put in one word, almost impossible to put
in one segment. All Right, when it comes to defending
yourself and your family, you're the first responder, and I
believe that that's our right to protect ourselves, our wives,
our husbands, our children. And I'm a gun owner, but
(13:41):
I really love the Burner Launcher. It gives me the
ability to a protect myself and my family without having
to make a split second decision that's fatal. It's legal
in all fifty states, no permits, no background check needed.
(14:01):
I own one, my daughters have one at college. The
Burner Launcher has powerful deterrence like tear gas or kinetic rounds.
With a sixty foot range, one shot can incapacitate an
attacker for up to forty minutes, and with burna you
get to save two lives. Trusted by over five hundred
government agencies, police departments, and private security firms with over

Speaker 3 (14:51):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Understatement of a political lifetime.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Donald Trump at the ground running yesterday, including a freeze
of all government hiring, ordering the federal workers back to
the office if they're full time, signing an executive order
aim to tackling the TikTok band withdrawing from the World
Health Organization, Signing an executive order partning. Roughly fifteen hundred
people convicted in the January sixth riots, and that's just
to name a few. Meanwhile, Biden had more of a
(15:19):
getaway than a farewell, slipping in pardons. Very filthy and
last minute for his family members and firefighters are increasing
containment in the two most destructive wildfires in the LA
area and the Ohio state. Buckeyes are your national champions
over Notre Dame. Good morning and welcome to the twenty
first of January. You have Onload twenty twenty five. Can't
(15:41):
have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Brian's First, Michael, This is Brian from Oaklaire, Wisconsin. I
have a twenty five foot aluminum American flag and flag
pole in my front yard and I woke up this
morning to go to real and some nulatic cut it
down with a salt in the middle of the night.
(16:05):
These people have lost their minds.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Just wanted to let you know. Yeah, good morning, Thank
you boy. I hate hearing that.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I will say this though, better Donald Trump be president
and the flag be temporarily down, then Kamala Harris by
president and the flag be fluttering outside.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
But that is awful, all right. Next up is Mark.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Hey, pizza boy, This is Mark in Indiana listening to
you on iHeartRadio. What Milania looked like yesterday was from
the old video games on computers. She looked like Carmen
san Diego.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I said, Jim Carrey in Mask or an Assassin or
the Hamburger Hurdler was the greatest line. Yeah, but I
did look up that character and it's a little Westernee
more than she was.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
But yeah, it's pretty uncanny. Good observation. Mark. I can't,
I can't. I think it's Jamel Jamel. Jamel put his
hand on the Bible.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Why didn't President Trump put his hand on the Bible?
Because the Supreme Court justice rushed the most important part
of the day. That's what we're there for ultimately is
the oath of office. And they moved so fast Roberts
did that the family couldn't get behind him, let alone
the Bible under his hand. Chris, get's the last say,
do we have time?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
You've got a bit carry Underwood? Oh, Carrie Underway.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Yeah, Carrie Underwood was triumphant after the glitch. Just came
in a cappella.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
Hi, I'm Andrea del Giorno and my husband and my
morning show is your morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelo's News and Talk one to one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six to fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California. Love to have
(18:13):
you listen live, but are grateful you're here now for
the podcast Enjoy. Trump hit the ground running, taking actions
with hundreds of executive orders. Firefighters increased containment in the
two biggest fires in southern California, which is great news,
and the Buckeyes are your national champions defeating Notre Dame
last night. That is their first national championship since twenty
(18:36):
fourteen and their ninth in program history. So many things
about yesterday, it's kind of hard to put into perspective.
I would say probably the two biggest talked.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
About things outside of Joe Biden's pardons on his way
out the door and get Away and formerly Marine one. Uh,
probably Milania's hat and baron was a huge hit. Oh,
he was a huge he not be beyond the obvious.
(19:09):
The signing of executive orders live in an arena as
promised to the voters that that was remarkable. Uh, Carrie
Underwood with all the glitches, and then just breaks out
into America, the beautiful a cappello. I'm going to go
(19:30):
with this. The stunning visual of prior to the oath
taking watching RFK and Tulsey Gabbard and Elon Musk and
Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guy, the
Apple guy. I mean, there is the titans of technology
(19:52):
that were once a big part of the Cabal of
the Left, all on Trump's side. Remember when I kept
saying over and over again, more than Kamala Harris and
Joe Biden lost more than Donald Trump won. Boy, there
(20:15):
it was and in one visual. Chris Walker is a
Republican consultant an analyst, and he's a regular here on
your morning show. He was in Washington for the inauguration.
Pretty extraordinary day, Chris. How would you put it into
a word or two or a sentence?
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Incredible and good morning, Michael.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
You know he was actually Trump was actually asked about
that yesterday in his his press cattle for like an
hour as he's signing.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
A check of words, you know, he's talking.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
About all the billionaires that are with him, and he said, well,
they used to be a Joe, but they realized he
didn't Steven kN know what he was talking about, and
they left it. So, you know, in a way, it
is kind of an interesting kind of double you know,
both a praise the President Trump and an indictment on
president as well.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
So if you if you listen to the light as
Joe Rogan, I mean, Zuckerberg throws the Biden administration right
out of the bus.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yeah, that's right, you know, miche went through yesterday. Obviously
we're just you know, just even in all the rooms
in Washington. It's even these kind of cynical you know,
lobbyist rooms and everything. I mean, everyone was very optimistic.
This is a very hopeful time. You know, I think,
irrespective a pardon in his personship, everyone can kind of
look at the past four years ago.
Speaker 11 (21:27):
This is a failed presidency.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
This is a failed attempt at at you know, government
overreach in every bacet of life. You know, the corruption
will only be uncovered more and more over time. I
cannot love how to Trump in the middle of executive
orders tells too you well to go look into the
drone thing in Jersey was just like, this doesn't happen
for four years. There was a hiding of the president
for four years, and now we have an open president
(21:49):
who's having press conferences in the middle of the Oval
office while he's signing exective orders. So well, get Joe
Biden want it's excitement, but that's.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
What it is.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
How did they get Joe Biden elected in the first place,
changing election meddling and government hiding him in a basement,
then exposing him and removing him, and then hiding Kamala
and plain sight. I mean, that's really one of the
remarkable things yesterday there's no whether you love him or
hate him, there's no question who the president is and
who's running the country.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
That's refreshing.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
It is well, you know again looking at and talking
about colonizing Mars and seeing Elon Musk like jump up
for joy about it. I mean that's you know, even
in the transition, talking about expanding America to Greenland and
you know, taking a back the pan On Canal and
you know, even looking at Canada. That's this, you know,
this re embrace of manifest destiny. It's it's something we
(22:38):
study in elementary school and then adulthood kind of makes it,
makes it cynical and things that we can that.
Speaker 11 (22:43):
We can't achieve those great things and where well, of
course we can.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
There's President Trump with a with a with a vision.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
To help us, help us get there, as wonderful as
it's positive.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Chris Walker, who I assume has not slept yet, or
did you get any Did you get any sleep?
Speaker 11 (22:58):
I got a good night sleep, bust I did.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Oh, so you're a good boy. He went to bed early.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
But we're talking about the extraordinary day yesterday. Well, let's
start with all of these pardons. I think he pardoned
all of his family. He's really pardoning his brother. The
other names are just thrown in to throw you off.
But this is the link to Hunter and to the
big guy when he was vice president and the filthy,
corrupt deals that they made. He's protecting his brother on
(23:24):
the way out, as he protected his son earlier. But
that doesn't stop anybody from investigating him or Fauci or
anybody else.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
In fact, it's almost troublesome for them because they can't
plead the fifth now, there's no way to incriminate them.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
They may seem like canaries.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Well absolutely, and I mean, goodness gracious, I mean all
of these liberals when they were criticizing President Trump talked
about the idea of taking a pardon, as you know,
an admission of guilt.
Speaker 11 (23:49):
Well, here you go.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
I mean this.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
It's literally Millie and and Fauci and all these these
these the Biden family, these are all tascit emissions of guilt.
I mean, obviously it's not admissible in a quarter of law,
but it's certainly admiss him in the court of public opinion.
Where why would you lobby for one or take one
if you weren't afraid of of the of the consequences.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Let's turn to the speech. It really was a hope
and change speech.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
At times, it did feel more like a State of
the Union than an inaugural address. I couldn't believe how
he was framing the corruption and failure of the previous
administration with them two feet.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Away from him.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
But he basically he ended with I want to play
one clip for you that I think is very important.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Many people thought it was impossible for me to stay
such a historic political comeback, but as you see today
here I am.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
The American people have spoken, all.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Right, So it's about the American people. They have spoken.
They're the reason he's there. The crowd obviously goes great,
well half the crowd like the State of the Union.
But then he comes back with this line that I
want to focus on.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I stand before you now as proof that you should
never believe that something is impossible to do in America.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
The impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I mean, I think that's the memorable quote. That's that's like, yeah,
what a great line. Because this isn't just his journey.
We all took it with him. We all risked our jobs,
we all risk losing family members that speak to us
or whatever else do this demonization process that the left
tried to play. We all came out the other end.
It's all of our victory. It seemed impossible, but guess
(25:38):
what impossible is what we do best. To me, that's
the whole speech in one line.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
I think that's right, and again it goes to that,
you know that that the view of optimism and hope
and growth and expansion. You know, it's it's what's made
this country great. And we've been asleep for fifty years
or so just in terms of of of the ingenuity
and creativity. And it takes folks like Elon Musk and
(26:05):
Donald Trump to help us bring it back. And it's
been it's been enlightening and fascinating. We're not a country
run by bureaucrats. I got on a few text threads
with some liberal friends of mine yesterday who were complaining about,
you know, the billionaires and the class.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
You know, like, well, this is you know, there's a sociable.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
Qualified here than Anthony Fauci, and you to see, you know,
folks kind of continuing to defend you know, government bureaucrats
who try to stifle freedom and innovation at the expense
of growth and optimism.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
It's it's it's.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
It's it is the fundamental change of of of ideology
that that's needing to be swept away, and we're seeing
that in real time, happening yesterday.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
You know, there's other Whenever you're doing a campaign, and
it's always I never it sounds so cheesy, but it's
always a question I ask a candidate. It's always the
most revealing answer, why are you running for this office?
And and for Donald Trump, he made it crystal clear
that he felt like his life was saved for this
(27:04):
purpose to make America great again. And then the other
thing is there's always promises made and then are they kept.
Time will tell. Well, Donald Trump managed to keep his promises.
In the first day, before the auditorium full of twenty
thousand people who supported him, he starts signing executive orders.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I mean that's very, very different.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Well, and again it goes it goes to the you know,
somebody else.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
I don't know if there's been an article written about
this or not not. This should be something smarter than me.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
But you know what it is, does the American psyche
when your president's hidden for four years and you realize
that that the person is unqualified for the job, and
you know that it's being run by a dark cadre
of people behind closed doors. And here here's the president's
open and honest and you know, just putting his whole
his whole self out there and seemed to decay of
the media in real time. You know, the whole silliness
(27:55):
of Elon Musk. You know, these these liberal media folks
trying to pretend, you know, that.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
He did something that he didn't do.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
You know, these are tired, worn out things, and people
are people are seeing through it in real time. Thank
goodness for Twitter and all these other places where you know,
we can get the real message out now, and that
leads to even more awakening to what's possible and what's
good rather than you know, this this continuous need to
kind of kind of push down and hide.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I want to give the president credit for this. First
and foremost, it really wasn't about him. He had some
vintage Donald Trump moments later in other visits to different rooms.
In fact, he had my wife and I just laughing
hysterically at one of the exchanges. But he didn't make
it about him, and he didn't make it about just
(28:43):
the Republican Party. He made it about America and Americans
in our direction, and I think that's a powerful start.
And it didn't go unnoticed. He's sitting with a fifty
six percent approval rating right this second. Don't I don't
think there's any way I'll ask you, is there any
way that Donald Trump could have gotten off to a
better start before the sun went down? Like in Riley's
(29:04):
bill passed before the sun went down? His Secretary of
State was voted in place ninety nine to nothing unanimously,
and heg Seth is.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Moving forward out of committee.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
I mean, and then all of the executive orders, and
just an extraordinary day. I'll give you the final say,
I from Milania's hat to Baron stealing the show to
that beautiful Vance family.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I mean, it was just a great, great day.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Oh the hat, I mean, goodness, what grace and beauty.
And you know, Joe Biden gets three vote covers and
Milne never got one.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Do you think you're like my wife with how beautiful look?
All right?
Speaker 6 (29:46):
If they're at the White House and they make Jill
sit in the front seat and Milania gets in the
back seat dressed like that, don't you expect her to
pull out like a piano court and strangler.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I mean, you looked like an assassin. I don't know
just I.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Mean it was the revenge tour, you could. You know,
it's a lot of revenge tour, for sure. There's some
great tweets about that yesterday. Look the handled this is.
This is a real moment for them.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
You know, it's a triumph overcoming so many obstacles. Let's
not forget all the lawfare and all of the things
that they threw at them.
Speaker 11 (30:16):
For eight years.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Now that there's a reset, this is a tremendous moments.
And it's really that hope and optimism that I think
was with the slogan of the Obama years that are
going to be the reality of the Trump years.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yeah, open change was really the theme of the speech.
And impossible, it's what America does best. Really sums it
up because if you if you only get that this
was Donald Trump's victory, you missed him. It was America's victory,
it will be America's victory, and for a lot of
us that stood behind them at great cost, it was
our victory as well.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
It was a president had.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Some really beautiful things to say Chris, lucky you to
be there, and we'll talk again next week or sooner
if conditions Warren.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
Oh, good, thanks, bar I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
This is your morning show with.
Speaker 12 (31:01):
Good Morning, your morning show.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
This is Mary and Idaho.
Speaker 12 (31:05):
Hey, do you think the saddest thing you saw yesterday
was former President Obama walking in to the Capitol by himself,
that his wife couldn't be bothered to be with him.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I just thought that was it was sad. Yeah, it
kind of was. Red thinks it was Saturday. Have to
sit behind Baron. You couldn't see a thing. No, when
he was walking. You know, they did that long dramatic
shot of them walking one at a time, and that
was bear walking alone, and all I can think of it. Wait, Ago, Michelle,
wait to make an idiotomy?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Is I gotta make this walk alone?
Speaker 6 (31:40):
What is up with his friendship with him and Bush?
I'm going stag. Well, Brock's pretty friendly to everybody. Who
anybody else said that, Well, you know, he's lonely, Like
Mary said, ago, he's just looking for a friend.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Just some of the the visuals.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
I still got to go with the visual of of
all the tech giants, the Titans of Technology, and they're
all behind the president now, people that were once running
for president as Democrats, Telsea Gabbert, rfk Elon Musk and
electric vehicles, Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg and Apple and Google,
and they're all. He didn't just win the presidency, he
(32:17):
went over all of his adversaries. I mean that was
key to the cabal against Donald Trump was to control
the narrative of the mainstream media and control any opposing
views by silencing them on social media. Again, we kept
saying something more than Donald Trump won, something more than
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris lost. All right, let's you know,
(32:37):
there's a laundry list of things. Joe Biden hit the
ground running with an executive order tackling the TikTok band,
freezing all government hirings, making full time employees come back
to work, withdrawing from the World Health Organization. And oh yeah,
Panama Canal came up, and so did the Gulf of America.
Roy O'Neal is following that story. What would a legal
(33:01):
I mean, what would be a It's one thing to
want to call it the Golf of America, that it's
another to legally make it happen.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
How does that? How will that work?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
Yeah, there is an office that actually makes those designations
here in the US. It has to go through a process.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
I know.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has put forward the bill to
help pay for the cost of changing all the maps
right now. But it's also only fitting. It would only
apply to Americans. So say Brazil is sending up a
supply of coffee, They're still going to say Golf of Mexico,
going to call it the Golf of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
So it's it's yeah, it's what you know.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
You and I I think it was you and I
that were talking about it, and I thought the most
accurate way to call it would be the Golf of
Americas or something like that. But yeah, this would just
be a distinction within our country, right.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
And by the way I grew up on it, anyone
else I grew up on it.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
We just called it the golf that we ever finished
the statements of In other countries and in New Orleans,
they won't even notice.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
What about Mount McKinley.
Speaker 7 (34:06):
Yeah, that one's interesting because the two Alaska senators, both Republicans,
don't want the name changed. It took a long fight
to get it changed over to Denali rather than Mount McKinley.
And of course the locals prefer Donali as the name,
or I should say the indigenous people there. So I
don't know why this get stuck in Donald Trump's crawl,
but he didn't like taking swift action to change it
(34:27):
back to honor what he says was a great president,
even though President McKinley never saw Mount McKinley.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Yeah, Greenland never came up. However, Ukraine didn't come up.
Ukraine didn't come up. He did bring up the Panama Canal.
In fact, the Panama officials did not appreciate what he
brought up. Is this kind of like one of the
like tariffs? How many times did he bring up tariffs?
What a beautiful word, tariffs maybe after God, after religion
(34:54):
that I love tariffs, maybe even have to love, you know,
he went through all that. But is this part of
the art, the deal kind of a thing setting a
message to them if you're going to continue to take
a canal we gave you, gifted to you and allow
China to rule it, think again?
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Or is that really serious about taking it back?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Do they rule it? Does China rule it? I mean
they're not being the fees are the same. A lot
of the stuff in the speech doesn't necessarily jibe with
the facts on the ground in Panama. And then what
do we do about it? Are we going to invade
and take it back? That's my question to you. Do
you think he's being figurative or literal?
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:29):
I mean, well, this is all sort of out of
left field. This was not something on the campaign trail.
I don't think there were a lot of Americans who
went to the polls saying give us back our canal.
I don't think that was a divisive issue or even
talked about going into this. So I think it's coming
out of left field, like the Greenland News, which I
guess he has talked about before. But it's sort of
(35:50):
wildly so yeah, I don't know what Congress is equipped
to do about it either. You know, he wants to
limit our foreign engagements. I don't think invading Panama is
something that is really on his radar.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Rory O'Neil covering our top two stories.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael L. Joano
Hi, I'm Michael Del JOHNO, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News
Talk six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio
five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're
(00:20):
here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The Golden Age of America begins right now, one, two.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Three, starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Del john.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
From this day forward, our country.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
And with that, Donald Trump proceeded to have a very
bold and busy, triumphant day. Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday,
the twenty first of January. You have our Lord twenty
twenty five on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app this is your morning show. I'm Michael del Trona. Well,
if you're just waking up. Donald Trump took immediate action
(01:24):
returning to the presidency, including freezing all government hiring, ordering
federal workers back to the office full time, signing an
executive order aimed at tackling the TikTok band, withdrawing from
the World Health Organization, and signing an executive order partnering
roughly fifteen hundred people convicted on January sixth riots. That's
(01:44):
just to name a few of the executive orders yesterday. Meanwhile,
the Biden family snuck out of town with one last
secret pardon for his entire family. More on that than
just a bit. And the Buckeyes are your national champions.
That would be the first since twenty fourteen and ninth
in program history. And that's it for college football in
(02:04):
twenty twenty five. Now we got snow in New Orleans,
and we got Santa Ana wins.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Returning to California.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Roy o'neili is our national correspondent, joining us with the
latest done Mother Nature's wrath. We had talked about late
last week about how they need to make a lot
of progress in the next five days. Because the high
winds are returning. Well, how much progress did they make
because they're come to high winds.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Right, Those Santa Anna's were returning not as bad, but
still you know, if it can if it threatens aviation operations,
that's when they become a problem because those helicopters and
airplanes are so effective at fighting these fires. The Big
Palisades fire has burned about twenty four thousand acres. It's
now nearly sixty six oho percent contained. That was the
(02:47):
last report yesterday morning. The Eton fire, which I think
has actually been more destructive, that's about eighty seven percent
contained after burning fourteen thousand acres. So a lot of
good progress has been made over the past four or
five days. But everyone needs to be on high alert.
That is the quote from the mayor of La yesterday.
(03:07):
As there are red flag warnings still up until about
one o'clock this afternoon Eastern time.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It's going to drive people crazy. You'll hear me make
references to being born in Flint, Michigan, outside of Detroit,
which made adding nine ten the superstation of Detroit so
special to me. But we left when I was five,
and then I was in Chicago from five to thirteen
and then New Orleans from thirteen to twenty whatever, So
I kind of grew up in both places. I cannot imagine,
(03:34):
and I've seen some bad drivers. We've got some pretty
bad drivers here in Nashville. The worst, like a third
world country, is New Orleans, and I can't imagine them
driving in snow. They're going to all end up in
a canal snow in New Orleans and a lot of it.
That's another It's probably the strangest of the weather, right.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I think they're going to get two to four inches
of rain in the Florida Panhandle. So imagine Pensacola, Panama City, Tallahassee,
all covered ino. A lot of the worst weather starts
to arrive. Tonight Mobile is also expecting snow, so pretty
remarkable because these places don't have plows, they don't have
standing trucks, so they you know, they really are stock
(04:12):
and essentially telling everyone stay home, so that what does
that happen? So what happens when you tell everyone to
stay home in the South, They get in their four
wheel drive pickup truck and see what they can do.
So that's what we're expecting over the next forty eight hours.
Or so not by the way they declared a state
of emergency in Florida, and in the official declaration of
the emergency those first whereas here for too therefore, whereas
(04:37):
a low pressure system is approaching from the Gulf of America.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
That's Rory's tease for when he comes back next half hour.
Donald Trump seems to mean business about everything he's promised
and everything the American people elected him to do, including
perhaps Golf of America.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Roy'll be back with that story, all right.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Joe Biden partoned his family members in his final moments.
I say it was his final acts, and he was
already on the podium with Donald Trump taking the oath
of office when they finalized these pardons. A pretty dark, cowardly,
sneaky way to do it. But what did he do well?
He pardoned his brother, James Biden. I think that's what
(05:17):
this is all about. After all, it was James and
Hunter that coordinated the deals with Big Guy in the
Vice President's office. They went ahead him through in Valerie Biden's,
Sarah Jones Biden, John t Owens, Francis W.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Biden.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
But it's really about covering his brother. Fine justified his
preemptive pardons, contending his family has been subjected to unrelenting
attacks and threats. Look at what Donald Trump and his
family have been through, According to Joe Biden, the worst
(05:59):
kind of partisan politics, adding, unfortunately, I have no reason
to believe these attacks will end, Biden wrote in a
statement twenty minutes before the end of his presidency. I
believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic
that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail
over politics. But baseless and politically motivated investigations can I
(06:22):
mean the level of hypocrisy in this statement breathtaking. It
should literally be taking your breath away or making you
want to projectile vomit rekaboc on the live safety and
financial security of target individuals and their families. Each when
(06:45):
these individuals have nothing done, nothing wrong and will ultimately
be exonerated. You know this begs the question, you know,
with these kinds of preemptive blanket pardons, Now, obviously it
would take Joe Biden's brother or even his son to
do something illegal starting today. The faucis are hilarious because
(07:08):
they're dated back to twenty fourteen. Why all the way
to twenty fourteen. What does that scream and tell you
about Fauci's role and gain a function probably in China.
But even though they have pardons, doesn't mean you can't
(07:29):
still investigate him. Doesn't mean you can't still expose. They
may not be able to go to prison, but you
can expose how corrupt they were, so that history gets
it right and the future never falls for it. Again,
Red said something yesterday, and I think I brought it
up with Rory. Very insightful, careful what you ask for.
(07:56):
This could have been a very big mistake because Joe
Biden may have just made things worse for himself and
all the last minute pardons he did yesterday, like Fauci
and Millie and his family members, how could a backfire?
A pardon means they can't prosecute you, but they can
(08:18):
still investigate you. An individual would be compelled to now
answer questions, can't believe the fifth because there's no threat
of incrimination any longer. It is conceivable we may be
able to get to the bottom of the corruption more
(08:44):
crystal clear than we ever could have had he not
pardoned them. Now it's not about getting political retribution because
Biden's gone. It's about showing how abuse of power happens.
(09:06):
And I think this is what America is tired of.
Career politicians entering ordinary citizens and leaving office shortly before
or after the toe tag millionaires. They're supposed to go
and be servant leaders for our prosperity and security, not
(09:26):
their own. And if they're using their offices for stock ventures,
for international business deals, that needs to be exposed. And
in the process of exposing it, good luck bleeding the
(09:47):
fifth because with no threat of incrimination, you have to speak.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Or potentially sing like a canary.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Now, Donald Trump was very, very busy yesterday. Where would
we begin? From the resolute desk in the Oval Office,
he signed off on releasing more than fifteen hundred charged
with crimes stemming for the January sixth attack on the Capitol.
(10:18):
Trump didn't put it in the inaugural address, but he
made references at virtually every other room he went to
that He offered Nancy Pelosi, ten thousand troops, listen, the
sergeant of Arms is in charge of securing the Capitol.
The sergeant of the Arms reports to the Speaker of
the House. That was Nancy Pelosi. Weeks prior to the event,
(10:40):
there were threats on that day from outsider groups. The
Sergeant of Arms went to Nancy Pelosi. Donald Trump offered
her ten thousand guard troops. She turned it all down.
It was a trap. Then Donald Trump throws his rally
walks right into it. The President went ahead and signed
(11:05):
off on releasing more than fifteen hundred effective Immediately, Trump
pulled the security clearances of more than fifty national security
officers who said Hunter Biden's laptop had all the classic
era marks of Russian information operation. A total of fifty
one former national security officials released a public letter in
(11:25):
twenty twenty claiming that even though the laptop did not
have any evidence of Russian involvement, it looked like a
Russian information operation.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
He pulls all of their clearances.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
The first order of business was the recision of seventy
eight Biden era executive order actions and memoranda Gone America.
Seventy five percent of America thinks we're heading in the
wrong direction. Well you're not anymore. In one sweeping signature,
a regulatory freeze preventing bureaucrats from using any more regulations
(12:02):
until we have control of the government quote unquote, a
freeze on all federal hiring except in the military, and
a number of other excluded categories. A requirement that the
federal workers return to work if they're full time in
person no longer once a week. Directing agencies to address
America's cost of living crisis, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement
(12:25):
and informing the United Nations that the US is withdrawing
from the landmark climate Treaty. Also withdrawing from the World
Health Organization. Ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and
preventing government censorship of freedom of speech moving forward.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
A directive.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
This was signed actually the Capital I Center in front
of twenty thousand sharing fans, a director to the federal
government ending the weaponization of government against the political adversaries
of the previous administration. It was a very very emphant
bold and busy first day for the president, and a
(13:06):
busy Joe Biden scrambling to cover his family on his
way out the door.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Just some of what happened yesterday in one segment.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Impossible to put in one word, almost impossible to put
in one segment. All Right, when it comes to defending
yourself and your family, you're the first responder, and I
believe that that's our right to protect ourselves, our wives,
our husbands, our children. And I'm a gun owner, but
(13:41):
I really love the Burner Launcher. It gives me the
ability to a protect myself and my family without having
to make a split second decision that's fatal. It's legal

Understatement of a political lifetime.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Donald Trump at the ground running yesterday, including a freeze
of all government hiring, ordering the federal workers back to
the office if they're full time, signing an executive order
aim to tackling the TikTok band withdrawing from the World
Health Organization, Signing an executive order partning. Roughly fifteen hundred
people convicted in the January sixth riots, and that's just
to name a few. Meanwhile, Biden had more of a
(15:19):
getaway than a farewell, slipping in pardons. Very filthy and
last minute for his family members and firefighters are increasing
containment in the two most destructive wildfires in the LA
area and the Ohio state. Buckeyes are your national champions
over Notre Dame. Good morning and welcome to the twenty
first of January. You have Onload twenty twenty five. Can't
(15:41):
have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Brian's First, Michael, This is Brian from Oaklaire, Wisconsin. I
have a twenty five foot aluminum American flag and flag
pole in my front yard and I woke up this
morning to go to real and some nulatic cut it
down with a salt in the middle of the night.
(16:05):
These people have lost their minds.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Just wanted to let you know. Yeah, good morning, Thank
you boy. I hate hearing that.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I will say this though, better Donald Trump be president
and the flag be temporarily down, then Kamala Harris by
president and the flag be fluttering outside.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
But that is awful, all right. Next up is Mark.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Hey, pizza boy, This is Mark in Indiana listening to
you on iHeartRadio. What Milania looked like yesterday was from
the old video games on computers. She looked like Carmen
san Diego.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I said, Jim Carrey in Mask or an Assassin or
the Hamburger Hurdler was the greatest line. Yeah, but I
did look up that character and it's a little Westernee
more than she was.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
But yeah, it's pretty uncanny. Good observation. Mark. I can't,
I can't. I think it's Jamel Jamel. Jamel put his
hand on the Bible.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Why didn't President Trump put his hand on the Bible?
Because the Supreme Court justice rushed the most important part
of the day. That's what we're there for ultimately is
the oath of office. And they moved so fast Roberts
did that the family couldn't get behind him, let alone
the Bible under his hand. Chris, get's the last say,
do we have time?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
You've got a bit carry Underwood? Oh, Carrie Underway.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Yeah, Carrie Underwood was triumphant after the glitch. Just came
in a cappella.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
Hi, I'm Andrea del Giorno and my husband and my
morning show is your morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelo's News and Talk one to one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six to fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California. Love to have
(18:13):
you listen live, but are grateful you're here now for
the podcast Enjoy. Trump hit the ground running, taking actions
with hundreds of executive orders. Firefighters increased containment in the
two biggest fires in southern California, which is great news,
and the Buckeyes are your national champions defeating Notre Dame
last night. That is their first national championship since twenty
(18:36):
fourteen and their ninth in program history. So many things
about yesterday, it's kind of hard to put into perspective.
I would say probably the two biggest talked.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
About things outside of Joe Biden's pardons on his way
out the door and get Away and formerly Marine one. Uh,
probably Milania's hat and baron was a huge hit. Oh,
he was a huge he not be beyond the obvious.
(19:09):
The signing of executive orders live in an arena as
promised to the voters that that was remarkable. Uh, Carrie
Underwood with all the glitches, and then just breaks out
into America, the beautiful a cappello. I'm going to go
(19:30):
with this. The stunning visual of prior to the oath
taking watching RFK and Tulsey Gabbard and Elon Musk and
Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guy, the
Apple guy. I mean, there is the titans of technology
(19:52):
that were once a big part of the Cabal of
the Left, all on Trump's side. Remember when I kept
saying over and over again, more than Kamala Harris and
Joe Biden lost more than Donald Trump won. Boy, there
(20:15):
it was and in one visual. Chris Walker is a
Republican consultant an analyst, and he's a regular here on
your morning show. He was in Washington for the inauguration.
Pretty extraordinary day, Chris. How would you put it into
a word or two or a sentence?
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Incredible and good morning, Michael.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
You know he was actually Trump was actually asked about
that yesterday in his his press cattle for like an
hour as he's signing.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
A check of words, you know, he's talking.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
About all the billionaires that are with him, and he said, well,
they used to be a Joe, but they realized he
didn't Steven kN know what he was talking about, and
they left it. So, you know, in a way, it
is kind of an interesting kind of double you know,
both a praise the President Trump and an indictment on
president as well.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
So if you if you listen to the light as
Joe Rogan, I mean, Zuckerberg throws the Biden administration right
out of the bus.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yeah, that's right, you know, miche went through yesterday. Obviously
we're just you know, just even in all the rooms
in Washington. It's even these kind of cynical you know,
lobbyist rooms and everything. I mean, everyone was very optimistic.
This is a very hopeful time. You know, I think,
irrespective a pardon in his personship, everyone can kind of
look at the past four years ago.
Speaker 11 (21:27):
This is a failed presidency.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
This is a failed attempt at at you know, government
overreach in every bacet of life. You know, the corruption
will only be uncovered more and more over time. I
cannot love how to Trump in the middle of executive
orders tells too you well to go look into the
drone thing in Jersey was just like, this doesn't happen
for four years. There was a hiding of the president
for four years, and now we have an open president
(21:49):
who's having press conferences in the middle of the Oval
office while he's signing exective orders. So well, get Joe
Biden want it's excitement, but that's.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
What it is.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
How did they get Joe Biden elected in the first place,
changing election meddling and government hiding him in a basement,
then exposing him and removing him, and then hiding Kamala
and plain sight. I mean, that's really one of the
remarkable things yesterday there's no whether you love him or
hate him, there's no question who the president is and
who's running the country.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
That's refreshing.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
It is well, you know again looking at and talking
about colonizing Mars and seeing Elon Musk like jump up
for joy about it. I mean that's you know, even
in the transition, talking about expanding America to Greenland and
you know, taking a back the pan On Canal and
you know, even looking at Canada. That's this, you know,
this re embrace of manifest destiny. It's it's something we
(22:38):
study in elementary school and then adulthood kind of makes it,
makes it cynical and things that we can that.
Speaker 11 (22:43):
We can't achieve those great things and where well, of
course we can.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
There's President Trump with a with a with a vision.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
To help us, help us get there, as wonderful as
it's positive.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Chris Walker, who I assume has not slept yet, or
did you get any Did you get any sleep?
Speaker 11 (22:58):
I got a good night sleep, bust I did.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Oh, so you're a good boy. He went to bed early.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
But we're talking about the extraordinary day yesterday. Well, let's
start with all of these pardons. I think he pardoned
all of his family. He's really pardoning his brother. The
other names are just thrown in to throw you off.
But this is the link to Hunter and to the
big guy when he was vice president and the filthy,
corrupt deals that they made. He's protecting his brother on
(23:24):
the way out, as he protected his son earlier. But
that doesn't stop anybody from investigating him or Fauci or
anybody else.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
In fact, it's almost troublesome for them because they can't
plead the fifth now, there's no way to incriminate them.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
They may seem like canaries.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Well absolutely, and I mean, goodness gracious, I mean all
of these liberals when they were criticizing President Trump talked
about the idea of taking a pardon, as you know,
an admission of guilt.
Speaker 11 (23:49):
Well, here you go.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
I mean this.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
It's literally Millie and and Fauci and all these these
these the Biden family, these are all tascit emissions of guilt.
I mean, obviously it's not admissible in a quarter of law,
but it's certainly admiss him in the court of public opinion.
Where why would you lobby for one or take one
if you weren't afraid of of the of the consequences.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Let's turn to the speech. It really was a hope
and change speech.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
At times, it did feel more like a State of
the Union than an inaugural address. I couldn't believe how
he was framing the corruption and failure of the previous
administration with them two feet.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Away from him.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
But he basically he ended with I want to play
one clip for you that I think is very important.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Many people thought it was impossible for me to stay
such a historic political comeback, but as you see today
here I am.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
The American people have spoken, all.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Right, So it's about the American people. They have spoken.
They're the reason he's there. The crowd obviously goes great,
well half the crowd like the State of the Union.
But then he comes back with this line that I
want to focus on.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I stand before you now as proof that you should
never believe that something is impossible to do in America.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
The impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I mean, I think that's the memorable quote. That's that's like, yeah,
what a great line. Because this isn't just his journey.
We all took it with him. We all risked our jobs,
we all risk losing family members that speak to us
or whatever else do this demonization process that the left
tried to play. We all came out the other end.
It's all of our victory. It seemed impossible, but guess
(25:38):
what impossible is what we do best. To me, that's
the whole speech in one line.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
I think that's right, and again it goes to that,
you know that that the view of optimism and hope
and growth and expansion. You know, it's it's what's made
this country great. And we've been asleep for fifty years
or so just in terms of of of the ingenuity
and creativity. And it takes folks like Elon Musk and
(26:05):
Donald Trump to help us bring it back. And it's
been it's been enlightening and fascinating. We're not a country
run by bureaucrats. I got on a few text threads
with some liberal friends of mine yesterday who were complaining about,
you know, the billionaires and the class.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
You know, like, well, this is you know, there's a sociable.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
Qualified here than Anthony Fauci, and you to see, you know,
folks kind of continuing to defend you know, government bureaucrats
who try to stifle freedom and innovation at the expense
of growth and optimism.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
It's it's it's.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
It's it is the fundamental change of of of ideology
that that's needing to be swept away, and we're seeing
that in real time, happening yesterday.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
You know, there's other Whenever you're doing a campaign, and
it's always I never it sounds so cheesy, but it's
always a question I ask a candidate. It's always the
most revealing answer, why are you running for this office?
And and for Donald Trump, he made it crystal clear
that he felt like his life was saved for this
(27:04):
purpose to make America great again. And then the other
thing is there's always promises made and then are they kept.
Time will tell. Well, Donald Trump managed to keep his promises.
In the first day, before the auditorium full of twenty
thousand people who supported him, he starts signing executive orders.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I mean that's very, very different.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Well, and again it goes it goes to the you know,
somebody else.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
I don't know if there's been an article written about
this or not not. This should be something smarter than me.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
But you know what it is, does the American psyche
when your president's hidden for four years and you realize
that that the person is unqualified for the job, and
you know that it's being run by a dark cadre
of people behind closed doors. And here here's the president's
open and honest and you know, just putting his whole
his whole self out there and seemed to decay of
the media in real time. You know, the whole silliness
(27:55):
of Elon Musk. You know, these these liberal media folks
trying to pretend, you know, that.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
He did something that he didn't do.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
You know, these are tired, worn out things, and people
are people are seeing through it in real time. Thank
goodness for Twitter and all these other places where you know,
we can get the real message out now, and that
leads to even more awakening to what's possible and what's
good rather than you know, this this continuous need to
kind of kind of push down and hide.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I want to give the president credit for this. First
and foremost, it really wasn't about him. He had some
vintage Donald Trump moments later in other visits to different rooms.
In fact, he had my wife and I just laughing
hysterically at one of the exchanges. But he didn't make
it about him, and he didn't make it about just
(28:43):
the Republican Party. He made it about America and Americans
in our direction, and I think that's a powerful start.
And it didn't go unnoticed. He's sitting with a fifty
six percent approval rating right this second. Don't I don't
think there's any way I'll ask you, is there any
way that Donald Trump could have gotten off to a
better start before the sun went down? Like in Riley's
(29:04):
bill passed before the sun went down? His Secretary of
State was voted in place ninety nine to nothing unanimously,
and heg Seth is.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Moving forward out of committee.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
I mean, and then all of the executive orders, and
just an extraordinary day. I'll give you the final say,
I from Milania's hat to Baron stealing the show to
that beautiful Vance family.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I mean, it was just a great, great day.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Oh the hat, I mean, goodness, what grace and beauty.
And you know, Joe Biden gets three vote covers and
Milne never got one.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Do you think you're like my wife with how beautiful look?
All right?
Speaker 6 (29:46):
If they're at the White House and they make Jill
sit in the front seat and Milania gets in the
back seat dressed like that, don't you expect her to
pull out like a piano court and strangler.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I mean, you looked like an assassin. I don't know
just I.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Mean it was the revenge tour, you could. You know,
it's a lot of revenge tour, for sure. There's some
great tweets about that yesterday. Look the handled this is.
This is a real moment for them.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
You know, it's a triumph overcoming so many obstacles. Let's
not forget all the lawfare and all of the things
that they threw at them.
Speaker 11 (30:16):
For eight years.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Now that there's a reset, this is a tremendous moments.
And it's really that hope and optimism that I think
was with the slogan of the Obama years that are
going to be the reality of the Trump years.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yeah, open change was really the theme of the speech.
And impossible, it's what America does best. Really sums it
up because if you if you only get that this
was Donald Trump's victory, you missed him. It was America's victory,
it will be America's victory, and for a lot of
us that stood behind them at great cost, it was
our victory as well.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
It was a president had.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Some really beautiful things to say Chris, lucky you to
be there, and we'll talk again next week or sooner
if conditions Warren.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
Oh, good, thanks, bar I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
This is your morning show with.
Speaker 12 (31:01):
Good Morning, your morning show.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
This is Mary and Idaho.
Speaker 12 (31:05):
Hey, do you think the saddest thing you saw yesterday
was former President Obama walking in to the Capitol by himself,
that his wife couldn't be bothered to be with him.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I just thought that was it was sad. Yeah, it
kind of was. Red thinks it was Saturday. Have to
sit behind Baron. You couldn't see a thing. No, when
he was walking. You know, they did that long dramatic
shot of them walking one at a time, and that
was bear walking alone, and all I can think of it. Wait, Ago, Michelle,
wait to make an idiotomy?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Is I gotta make this walk alone?
Speaker 6 (31:40):
What is up with his friendship with him and Bush?
I'm going stag. Well, Brock's pretty friendly to everybody. Who
anybody else said that, Well, you know, he's lonely, Like
Mary said, ago, he's just looking for a friend.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Just some of the the visuals.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
I still got to go with the visual of of
all the tech giants, the Titans of Technology, and they're
all behind the president now, people that were once running
for president as Democrats, Telsea Gabbert, rfk Elon Musk and
electric vehicles, Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg and Apple and Google,
and they're all. He didn't just win the presidency, he
(32:17):
went over all of his adversaries. I mean that was
key to the cabal against Donald Trump was to control
the narrative of the mainstream media and control any opposing
views by silencing them on social media. Again, we kept
saying something more than Donald Trump won, something more than
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris lost. All right, let's you know,
(32:37):
there's a laundry list of things. Joe Biden hit the
ground running with an executive order tackling the TikTok band,
freezing all government hirings, making full time employees come back
to work, withdrawing from the World Health Organization. And oh yeah,
Panama Canal came up, and so did the Gulf of America.
Roy O'Neal is following that story. What would a legal
(33:01):
I mean, what would be a It's one thing to
want to call it the Golf of America, that it's
another to legally make it happen.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
How does that? How will that work?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
Yeah, there is an office that actually makes those designations
here in the US. It has to go through a process.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
I know.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has put forward the bill to
help pay for the cost of changing all the maps
right now. But it's also only fitting. It would only
apply to Americans. So say Brazil is sending up a
supply of coffee, They're still going to say Golf of Mexico,
going to call it the Golf of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
So it's it's yeah, it's what you know.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
You and I I think it was you and I
that were talking about it, and I thought the most
accurate way to call it would be the Golf of
Americas or something like that. But yeah, this would just
be a distinction within our country, right.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
And by the way I grew up on it, anyone
else I grew up on it.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
We just called it the golf that we ever finished
the statements of In other countries and in New Orleans,
they won't even notice.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
What about Mount McKinley.
Speaker 7 (34:06):
Yeah, that one's interesting because the two Alaska senators, both Republicans,
don't want the name changed. It took a long fight
to get it changed over to Denali rather than Mount McKinley.
And of course the locals prefer Donali as the name,
or I should say the indigenous people there. So I
don't know why this get stuck in Donald Trump's crawl,
but he didn't like taking swift action to change it
(34:27):
back to honor what he says was a great president,
even though President McKinley never saw Mount McKinley.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Yeah, Greenland never came up. However, Ukraine didn't come up.
Ukraine didn't come up. He did bring up the Panama Canal.
In fact, the Panama officials did not appreciate what he
brought up. Is this kind of like one of the
like tariffs? How many times did he bring up tariffs?
What a beautiful word, tariffs maybe after God, after religion
(34:54):
that I love tariffs, maybe even have to love, you know,
he went through all that. But is this part of
the art, the deal kind of a thing setting a
message to them if you're going to continue to take
a canal we gave you, gifted to you and allow
China to rule it, think again?
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Or is that really serious about taking it back?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Do they rule it? Does China rule it? I mean
they're not being the fees are the same. A lot
of the stuff in the speech doesn't necessarily jibe with
the facts on the ground in Panama. And then what
do we do about it? Are we going to invade
and take it back? That's my question to you. Do
you think he's being figurative or literal?
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:29):
I mean, well, this is all sort of out of
left field. This was not something on the campaign trail.
I don't think there were a lot of Americans who
went to the polls saying give us back our canal.
I don't think that was a divisive issue or even
talked about going into this. So I think it's coming
out of left field, like the Greenland News, which I
guess he has talked about before. But it's sort of
(35:50):
wildly so yeah, I don't know what Congress is equipped
to do about it either. You know, he wants to
limit our foreign engagements. I don't think invading Panama is
something that is really on his radar.
