Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
(00:01):
live five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast on.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Odell Churna.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
In the South, they're being slammed by historic snowstarks. Containment
gained over the two big fires in the West, although
a couple of new ones to the south near San Diego.
Welcome to Wednesday, January the twenty second year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. Good morning. Roy
(00:54):
O'Neil is joining us, our national correspondent, Roy. I just
saw meme minutes ago and it's a shot of what
I believe is Houston Hobby Airport, just covered in snow
with planes stranded, and the caption perfectly Houston. We have
a problem, really from Houston. What all across Louisiana into
Alabama and Georgia. The South is experiencing a rare winter snowstorm.
(01:22):
We'll get to New Orleans in a minute, with record
temperatures to go along with it, right right, and it's
significant snowfall. You know, Florida is used to having these
little freakish flurries, but they got eight inches of snow
in Pensacola. They don't know what to do with that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
They don't have a snow shovel, they don't have an
ice scraper, free windshield, they don't have plows.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So this is a problem.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And thankfully in a lot of places the temperatures will
be back over freezing today and a lot of this
is going to melt. But look, parts of New Orleans
got ten inches of snow. It's supposed to be thirty
six degrees today. I'm guessing a lot of that snow
is still going to be around. Yeah, that's not going
to melt.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
My brother started videos and I thought, Okay, I lived
through what was a light dusting when I was a teenager.
The last time they had any significant amount. When I
say significant, I mean four inches, was nineteen sixty three.
The record is ten inches, which was Valentine's Day eighteen
ninety five. And so he sends me the first vide.
(02:19):
I got tough A light dusting there. Oh yeah, uh,
I think you know how cute. And it kept coming
and coming and coming and for hours and the next thing,
I know, that's more snow than we've gotten in Nashville
since I've lived here. In fact, we're going to send
him out in the snow next half hour with a
ruler to measure. But I think they have reached or
maybe surpassed that eighteen ninety five record. What caused all
(02:41):
this is this global warming.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Donald Trump Trump Joe Biden did never happened with Joe
Biden was president. This would have well, they on a snow,
but the Houston airports aren't expected to reopen later today.
They didn't shut them down entirely in advance, so that
was at move. Hopefully they'll be able to get those
travel networks back online, but that's it's going to be
(03:04):
a disruptive day again.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And you talked about we're down to like one minute,
but you talk about there's no infrastructure for this, there's
no planning for this, And then there was I had
one dear friend Blair Coleman, who is in River Ridge
in Jefferson, and you know they lost power to boot.
I mean, but I would think most people are off
the roads. I would hope, right. I mean that has
(03:26):
been the advice. We knew this was coming.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's a little bit heavier I think snow fall than
they had expected by a couple of inches. But you know,
everyone was aware that this storm was coming. It's also
tough if you're a first responder. I mean trying to
drive a fire truck or drive an ambulance and the
roads aren't plowed. A's seven to eight inches of snow
and that's a that's a dangerous, dangerous job.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
All Right, roy O'Neil, you'll be back again later in
the half hour. Next half hour, we're going to talk
a little bit about the large scale deportation beginning. Let's
look at some of the numbers on this. At least
nine people are believed to have died as a result
of the dangerous cold. Whenever we have something like this
and it's there's no room for this, I're up Buffalo.
(04:10):
That's called two day all right, Yeah, I get the joke,
but these are areas that are not used to this
and people that are not used to this, and sometimes
what happens is services are simply disrupted, so a guy
having a heart attack doesn't make it to the hospital.
So you never really know until a few days down
the road. But at least nine right now are believed
to have died as a result of the weather gripping
(04:31):
areas not used to this. Two of them in Austin,
Texas are being investigated as suspected cold related deaths. In Georgia,
officials report one death from hypothermia. Another death is also
to believe to have been hypothermia in Milwaukee, which is
clearly not the South, but and at least five people
died in a vehicle accident caused by icy conditions, and
(04:52):
those were all in the areas of Texas. As far
as record snowfall, Southeast Texas through Louisiana into parts of
Mississippi and Alabama seemed to get the most, an area
stretching from really Houston to Alabama recording widespread snowfall of
three to six inches, again well beyond anything they're used to.
(05:12):
New Orleans seems to have gotten the most. Eight inches
of snow reported at Louis Armstrong International airport two point
seven inches in nineteen sixty three had been the most
recent record. We talked about the record for New Orleans
recorded ten inches of snow on February fourteenth of eighteen
ninety five. Snow has closed or hindered operations at multiple
(05:34):
airports in the South, contributed to more than two three
hundred flight cancelations in the South alone, and more than
nine hundred cancelations so far for today. Meanwhile, while we
got snow and ice of record proportion in the South,
back to the west we go the Palisades Fires in
Los Angeles that started on January seventh and have now
(05:58):
encompassed twenty three thousand, four huns underd and forty eight
acres is at sixty five percent containment. The Eton Fire
in Los Angeles, which is fourteen twenty one acres, is
at eighty nine percent containment. These are tremendous containment gains,
and we talked about this window of opportunity of four
(06:18):
to five days to get these containment numbers up because
there's unfavorable wins. Once again, they got them to roughly
eighty nine percent and sixty five percent, respectively. More strong
winds expected today. Meanwhile, multiple wildfires broke out in San
Diego County yesterday, prompting evacuation orders, school closures, power shutoffs,
(06:41):
while officials in Los Angeles remained on high alert amid
the strong winds and relentless dry conditions. In San Diego,
the Lilac Fire, the largest of the blazes, grew to
eighty five acres and triggered evacuations in a small community
about forty five miles north of San Diego. The Pali Fire,
north of the community in Pala Mesa, burned seventeen acres
(07:05):
of land, initially triggered evacuation orders that have since been
lifted and has been fully contained. The Riverview Fire burned
only one acre of land before firefighters fully contained at
A fourth blaze, called the Friar's Fire, erupted around noon
yesterday near the homes and businesses in the neighborhood of
Mission Valley that's about five miles north of downtown San Diego.
(07:26):
It has since been contained, and The Clay Fire in
Riverside County, first reported at five o'clock yesterday PM near
the intersection of Vanburam Boulevard and Clay Street, began as
a two acre vegetation fire moving at a very slow
rate of spread into very heavy brush. The fire grew
nearly forty acres, according to an alert from cow Fire.
(07:49):
So as you can see in America yesterday on the
ground snow from Houston the most in now Leans and
then into Mississippi and Alabama and to the west. Some
containment gains in the LA area, some new fires to
fight in the San Diego area. Oooh, I've seen five
(08:09):
and I've seen snow. And we're somewhere in the middle,
you know, here in middle Tennessee, Nashville. We had our
sheriff snow. It has since melted and we've had cold temperatures.
But yeah, I'm joking with my brother because I thought, Okay,
they're going to get excited about a little dusting, and
then it just kept coming and coming and coming, and
(08:31):
by the time the video stopped, it was like Doctor
Shivago in New Orleans. So, you know. And at first
I thought, well, you got the nineteen sixty three record.
I can eyeball that that's more than four inches, but
I didn't think there was a chance of beating the
eighteen ninety five record. We will send my brother out
into the backyard with a ruler to measure next half hour.
(08:53):
Also when do large scale deportations begin and who will
be first on the list? Royaltil will be back with
that's we've kind of had a big conversation early this morning,
and if you missed it, that's why we have the podcast.
Jeffrey would want me to remind you. You'll find the
podcast in the iHeart Podcast section under your morning show
or Michael del Joorno. Once you find it, hit subscribe,
(09:13):
and when you do, every morning, each hour will be
there for you waiting roughly by ninth Central the latest
I think. Share it, share it with your friends and family.
And but what you like to point out is we
also do segments as well. So if you hear something
you like, share it on your social media, share it
with family and friends, more yours at the table of
(09:35):
your morning show. That's what we all need. So check
it out on the podcast. But we were talking about,
you know, the two things. One it seems as though
something more than just Donald Trump is one this time,
and it seems the reverse is true as well. More
than just Joe Biden has lost or Kamala Harris has
lost this time, Wokeness seems to be dying as well.
(10:00):
Narratives and really attacks on people's values and beliefs seem
to have ended. And for the left, you're seeing some tantrums,
You're seeing some reactions. There's really no audience for it.
We could give oxygen to it. I could play a
(10:21):
liberal LGBTQ bishop giving a lecture to Donald Trump and
the vice president. It was a classless, b inappropriate c
not accurate politically or biblically. And I thought the president
and the family, I mean, they did look around a
little bit, but they handled it better than I would have.
I'd have just left. If you're not here with prayers,
(10:46):
blessings and eternal truths, but here with a political lecture.
That's not church, that's MSNBC, I'd left. He's a better
man than me. But what we see is reactions and tantrums,
and I think you see that because they don't really
(11:07):
have a response and the bigger question early on, and
it's only two days and it's tough to get your
arms around. As we've said, Also, most second term presidents
don't get another first one hundred days. This one does.
Most first term or second term do one or two
(11:27):
things in the first hundred days. This one's not about
two hundred things in the first forty eight hours. It's
tough to get your arms around. We're moving fast. There's
some hypocrisies along the way. And this is where I
say more lost than just Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
So as they criticize the January sixth pardons, they have
(11:48):
to ignore all the pardons of Joe Biden on the
way out the door. Or how about the amnesia over
BLM and Antifa prior to the twenty twenty elections. That
was good trouble then being allowed into the Capitol, that's insurrection.
(12:09):
So David and I is going to join us? Is
there a movement towards the center? And will I will
just come right out and say it. The longer they
don't have a response because reactions tantrums, that's not gonna
do anything. It's going to fall as flat as that
bishop yesterday. But the longer they go without a response,
the more their party comes to the right and all
(12:31):
of America comes to the center. Plays right into the thesis.
This is more than a Donald Trump victory. This is
more than a reshaping and a correction of course for America,
for the next four years, what politically is happening that
(12:52):
could be generational. We'll sort that out with David Sonati
in the third hour, So stay with us. Top five
stories of the day are coming up for you. Next,
I'll keep an eye on the fires to the west
of the snow to the south, and wish you a
very good morning and a hearty Welcome to the kitchen table.
On this Wednesday, the twenty second of January.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Del Choano coming up. Some of your talkbacks, got one
from Telsea Youngstown. We're more than happy to add you.
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio Apple'll see a little microphone.
Press it. You can ask a question, make a comment instantly.
Join the show. No longer do you have to wait
on hold. Use that talkback button. We'll get to your
talkbacks in a moment. If you're just waking up, President
Trump provoked Bolton's Secret Service protection. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Bolton was Trump's National security advisor, but inspired in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You take a job, you want to do a job.
We're not going to have security on people for the
rest of their lives. Why should we.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
In twenty twenty one, President Biden granted him Secret Service
protection after a threat on his life from Iran. Meeting
with reporters Tuesday, Trump called Bolton a warmonger and a
stupid guy. Bolton said he learned of the news Monday night,
just hours after President Trump's inauguration.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'm Mark Mayfield. I mean, the stupid guys what everybody's
going to hear. But the truth is, you know, how
long can you give everybody secret service? President Trump will
sit down for his one of those guys, stupid, those
stupid guy. President Trump's going to sit down in the
first Oval Office interview. It'll be filmed today. It will
air tonight with Sean Hannity on Fox eighth Central nine Eastern.
(14:21):
Bill Burr Shane Gillis. They're going to host a comedy
event to help raise funds for Los Angeles wildfires.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
The show will take place on January twenty seventh, with
proceeds going to the Wildfire Relief Fund. Tickets around sale
now from Live Nation. The show is just one of
the many events popping up in LA to fundraise for
those affected by the fires, including the TCL Chinese Theater
with special showings and another concert scheduled for January thirtieth,
(14:47):
featuring stars including Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and
Billie Eilish.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I'm Brian Shook. Donald Trump's second inauguration Monday drew fewer
viewers than the first one in twenty seventeen, and fewer
than former President Joe Biden's as well. Tammy Treelo has
the count.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
According to Nielsen, nearly twenty four point six million people
watched Trump become the forty seventh president. That was down
from thirty three point seven million for Biden and thirty
point six million for Trump's first inauguration. Some seventeen point
four million viewers this year were age fifty five and older,
and Fox News coverage of the event by far drew
the most viewers. Second inaugurations typically do pull in lower
(15:26):
ratings than the first. I'm Tamma for Heo.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Israel's military chief of staff is resigning over his failures
to prevent the October seventh attack, Lisa Taylor reports.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Lieutenant General Hertzi Heleevi said he's stepping down in March.
He wrote in a letter to Israeli officials he's making
the move as a result of my responsibility for the
IDFs failure on October seventh, and at a time when
the military has recorded exceptional achievements in restoring Israel's deterrence
and strength. This is the most high profile stepping down
of an Israeli official linked to the October seventh attack.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Finally, said Taylor, So you wouldn't be nice to have
depression leave with the mist of a nose spray. Well,
the FDA has approved just that from Johnson and Johnson.
Sarah le Kessler reports.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
The spray, called Spravado, is the first ever standalone therapy
for treating major depressive disorder that fails to improve with
standard drug regiments. Spravado, which has been used since twenty
nineteen along with an oral medication, can now be used
by itself. Health experts say about a third of the
twenty one million US adults who suffer from treatment resistant
(16:30):
major depression aren't getting relief from symptoms, which can include
persistent sadness, insomnia, lack of energy, and suicidal ideations.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
That's your top five stories waking up this morning.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Hi, I'm actress Lisa Varga, and my morning show is
your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard lot each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee,
two Below, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than ever. We're
grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Well, the DEI employees were served there. Notice they've been
put on leave by a very busy President Donald Trump.
The Secret Service protection for Bolton has been taking away,
and two Americans who were being held in Afghanistan are
now free. We had great gains and the containment of
the two main main fires in the Los Angeles area. Unfortunately,
(17:38):
a couple of new ones started near San Diego. But
a lot of attention has been given to the record
snow and freezing temperatures where it's not normal the South.
The record in New Orleans I did this research yesterday
was ten inches of snow on Valentine's Day, February fourteenth,
eighteen ninety five. Now, the way it all began, once
(18:00):
my brother start sending videos. You know, I got light dusting,
and I'm like, well, isn't that cute? You got yourself
a light dust and go outside write your name in
the snow. But it just kept coming, and it just
kept coming, and before it was done, it was like
doctor Javago. So I thought, well, we should see if
we just broke what would that be. I got two
(18:22):
hundred and thirty year record or one and thirty year record.
So we've got my brother Pick on the line in
New Orleans. Good morning Pick. It was more than a dust,
It was more than a dusting. That was quite a
snowman you made. Why did you choose to make the
snowman a doadger? Well, why did you notice this or
not that?
Speaker 10 (18:41):
The snowman we use mister potato head parts and it
was very ingenious and I think it was the best
snowman in the city. They've been putting them on Fox
Date here, and I think hours was by far the
best snowman. But no, I'm telling you, first of all,
I don't mean to correct you. Michael says, I'm not
in a correct business. But that ten inches in eighteen
(19:03):
ninety five with a two day total, Okay, so that
was a two day total, and yesterday in my back
yard I had twelve.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
So you did know you measured already. So I was
going to send you that. We have a grill. We
got to do a childhood story. So here's a great
childhood that one. I've got one set up. I've got
one seta Oh right, let me do mine first? Can
I do mine first? Okay, go ahead, it's going to
be about getting the logs well. Vic used to. Vic
used to always threaten to leave when we were younger,
which was very traumatic for me because he was like
(19:32):
my father, and my mother would always remind him, if
you leave, you will leave this house the way you
came into this world naked. So Vic, now you're picturing
a kid, don't He was, you know, like a young man.
He was sixteen years old. So Vic dramatically takes all
his clothes off. He's dark naked. It's sub zero outside
(19:53):
in Arlington Heights, Illinois, northwest suburb of Chicago. There's at
least a foot and a half of snow out there,
and he pursued. He's out the back door of the kitchen,
stark naked, and then you know, I'm thinking he just
pop off for a second, come right back in. Mom
slams the door and locks it for a few minut
I believe it was either rescued you. But what was
your story going to be? Well? I was a bit
(20:14):
of a strong little child, is what I want? Just
a little yeah?
Speaker 10 (20:22):
No, my story was, remember I used to make you
go out and when it was a lot of snow
out there and we were doing the fire. You know,
Bobby did the fire. The little brother Bobby did the fire.
He was Bobby Bombfire. He was Bobby Bonfire. And I
remember you remember this.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Do you remember the song when Bobby Bombfire comes out
with a.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
With a alright, go ahead. He can make anything anything.
He was Bobby Bonfire. You know I put him in
the drying when he's a toime. But that's the problem.
You know, you haven't forgiven yourself for that. No, I haven't.
I really haven't. No. But yesterday was I mean, you know,
(21:03):
I think that the best thing about yesterday was is
you know I got up in the morning and I said,
like you said, I saw the light dusting and then
then as it started toteming, I walked outside of.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Walk the islan you know, because you know I live.
I live in the city. I'm not in the suburb.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
I'm in the city, and just to go outside and feel,
you know, the snow coming down silent, it was something
and it just kind of reminded me of what God,
what the Lord talked about in the in the psalms,
what David talked about about. Our sins were washing white snow.
You know, there's something about snow that that that that's clean.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, you know, it issulated. It insulated too, which is
another fun thing to think about, but it is. And
that was like when we were kids. It was so
peaceful when you would go outside, It's like beyond silent.
And you know, I've seen snow with your travels, but
you're not used to seeing it in your neighborhood, that's
for sure.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
No, No, and this was I mean this was a
major I mean there was a lot of I mean,
we're stuck in that. We can't go anywhere today. I mean,
we're stuck all day. You probably won't building you that house,
so priding now people from Arkansas brought down some trucks.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
It brought down some trucks. They that yeah, clear, no time,
we're in here, we're down there. You know, Copenhagen for
a week, but they'll be there to help.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
No, but there's that everybody. You should have seen the
stores the ninety four it was even, it was it
was the hurricane times ten.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You know.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Let me just say they really did predict this thing, right,
and we're talking about a week before. Of course I
do a podcast and I havn't be the Relative Summit
podcast on theretot who really started to uh predict this?
And then when you started say five, no, way, five
to six, no, it just wouldn't stop. It snowed for
twelve hours, it was, and it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And you saw the picture of the house. Huh. I
told you, I told you got your Ristmas card. A
little known fact, my brother Vic and New Orleans we
have surpassed. Now we can confirm twelve inches, which would
beat the eighteen ninety five record of ten inches in
New Orleans. So this is certainly a historic snowfall. I
can tell you that those are two two day total
(23:16):
to ten inches. Well either way, you beat it, you
beat it in one even take it to but you're
not expecting they're not expecting any horse. But here's a
little known truth now in the class of eighty two
of the Cold Classic. You have yours truly, who has
a premier national morning show. And then you have Bruce Gat.
Bruce Gat, yeh from my class, is the meteorologist, big
meteorologist in norms. So does Bruce forecast any more snow?
(23:39):
Or is it? And when will the melt take place? No?
Speaker 10 (23:41):
No, no, no, no, we have sunshine today. It may
it over freezing to the low attom of it. Some
may melt. It won't be till pride it really until
it really starts to melt.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But no, Bruce was right on top of it.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
You know, Bruce could be found every day at noon
at me is this pub and drink their Gosh.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
We don't we don't want to out that, all right.
So obviously you and I grew up with snow. We
would walk to school in the snow. We would play
in the snow. I tell people used to walk about
how long was it? How far walk was it South
Junior High? And that mile? Oh it was more than that. Yeah,
it was like it was over a half hour walk. Yeah.
(24:23):
And I used to play the little game of how
long could I walk without the snow? You know, giving away?
So I would actually walk on top of the snow.
That's how much. That's how cold it was in Chicago.
Remember you get to our lady of Wayside and you
weren't quite to south yet and by then you were
frozen snow. But you know, you know, for your grandkids,
this this had to be memorable.
Speaker 10 (24:42):
This is the first time a lot of them have
seen snow. Well, you know, the big tubs you are
bringing to the storage space. You know, of course we
have a storage space, Martha and I and every time
we go there we fight, but I regret. But the
top of the tub, we were going down the levee
in down by the lakefront and we're sledding.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
We were sledding. Uh. They were loving that. They were
just loving it. Edie, frozen nutrient. Did you come across
any No frozen nutria? No, But it really it's I
don't know what to say.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
I mean, you know when you talk about the Golden
Day and you got Monday, all that stuff that Trump
was beautiful. I stayed all the watchful thing and they
get a lickor work done, and then you had what
went on yesterday. May be the beginning of the Golden Age.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It is certainly the picture of you. I never thought
i'd see the outside of your house look like that.
And I told you then and I'll say it again
here on the air. You got your Christmas card? Yeah,
you got your Christmas card. Pure, that's for sure.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
I can let me go real quick, not real quick.
Before I go, I just won't let you know that
there's still people in need on the West Foak that
needs help. I'm supporting Project Hope there on the ground
in Los Angeles actly actively putting other hygiene kits. This
placed families are being uh putting in shelters. They need
your help a lot. Just go to Project clup dot
org and help out.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Okay, and radiact away Project Hope dot org. Appreciate it
back all right, we can confirm it's twelve inches. Therefore
you have a new record, surpassing eighteen ninety five. And
it was done it one day, not two.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. May Now,
my morning show has always been your morning show. Hey,
it's Mike McCann checking in from Ice Station, New Allans
where yesterday snow skis on Burton Street and ice skates
and sleds.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Well.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Hey, as the left is sent for years. Guys, if
Trump ever gets back into the White House, so hell freeze.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Over, Okay back, Yeah, but I left Hell. He's still
living there calling at hell. Oh that's a classic.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Even our voice, guys as smart that like are out here.
If you're just waking up fifty minutes after the hour,
record snowfall in the South over twelve inches in dolings
of all places, and even our voice cut by the
couple quick plugs. My brother is the king of all podcasting.
His podcast is called all over the Road. You can
google it everywhere podcasts are heard. And just one more time,
(27:21):
as he mentioned, project Hope dot org if you want
to help those in south in southern California. Meanwhile, President
Trump very busy in his first one hundred days, ordering
all federal employees and diversity, equity and inclusion roles to
be placed on leave. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
The news comes after Trump signed an executive director of
ending federal DEI programs, with offices being ordered to shut down.
White House Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt called the move
a win for Americans, calling DEI programs a scourage on society.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I'm Mark Mayfield, don't forget. President Trump will have his
first sit down for his oval office interview in his
second term. That's going to take place with Sean Hanny.
They're going to pretape it today. It will air the
conversation tonight, nine Eastern, eight Central, Bill Burr Shane gillis
among the hosts. As a comedy event to raise funds
(28:14):
in Los Angeles for the wildfire victims takes place. Brian
Shook us All Morning Long has the details.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
The show will take place on January twenty seventh, with
proceeds going to the Wildfire Relief Fund. Tickets around sale
now from Live Nation. The show is just one of
the many events popping up in LA to fundraise for
those affected by the fires, including the TCL Chinese Theater
with special showings and another concert scheduled for January thirtieth
(28:42):
featuring stars including Lady Gagat, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and
Billie Eilish.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm Brian Shook. Los Angeles Merrik Karen Bass is taking
steps to shore up burn areas ahead of a possible rainstorm.
Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 12 (28:57):
I signed an executive order to expedite de bree removal
slash regulations, preventing swift rebuilding, and establishing a framework to
secure additional regulatory relief and resources.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
With the order, Bass hopes to mitigate potentially serious health
and environmental impacts of fire related hazardous pollutants on the
stormwater system, beaches, and the ocean. The emergency Executive Order
Marshall's city public works crews to clear and remove vegetation,
shore up hillsides, reinforce roads, and clear debris from burn
areas ahead of any rainy weather that could arrive on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Finally, said Taylor, well, Netflix has kind of getting like
postage stamps. They just keep raising and raising and raising.
The subscription price is going up yet again. The streamer
announced yesterday that the standard plan without ADS is increasing
by two dollars and fifty cents to seventeen ninety nine
a month. Its ADS supported tier will go up one
dollar and yeah, one dollar to seven ninety nine a month. Well,
(29:55):
I think I'm the one without ADS, so I'm going
I'm gonna go up two two dollars and fifty sens
to seventeen ninety nine. Price. That comes as the company
reported nearly nineteen million new subscribers in the fourth quarter
ending December thirty first of last year. Well, if there's
one thing's for sure, Donald Trump says what he means
and means what he says. He's following through on everything
(30:16):
he said really in the first day. So that begs
the question, when do the large scale deportations begin and
who will be first on the list? Your Morning Show
national correspondent Roy O'Neil's here with that story.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Good morning, Rory, Good morning. I think we're expecting a
bit more activity yesterday. But the frontman on this immigration
plan that the Trump administration has says that ICE agents
had been working, i'd say, behind the scenes to start
to facilitate a lot of these deportations.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
The symbolism of where to start, how much of that
is attached to states the plan to be defiant or
cities and municipalities the plan to be defiant? And is
that playing into it? Or where do we know how
this list was formed?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, Well they're not saying first of all, but they're
suggesting that it's going to be places like Chicago, Denver, Boston,
New York, LA. It's going to be the big cities,
typically with Democrat mayors who might actually secretly like this
because it's expected that because they're really targeting people who
have committed crimes, violent crimes in particular, a lot of
(31:22):
the people being deported are probably already in a jail
or a prison, and they're the ones who might be
going out first. And I'm sure that would be to
the delight of some of these governors and.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Mayors to have their jails emptied out. California probably expect resistance,
but Chicago and New York are very interesting. That's city
number three and New York City number one. The New
York mayor very interested in this, very cooperative in this.
In Chicago, the people want it, and the mayor and
the council have kind of been against it. So they'll
(31:55):
play out differently. But as you mentioned, all indications are
the answered to the question who's first on the list
are going to be those that have committed crimes after
committing the crime of coming into the country illegally, right right, right.
And it's also going to you know, it's gonna be nationwide.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I don't think we're expecting this to be in the South,
the northeast or something like that. So and this really
can't ramp up to a full operation until Congress gets
involved and starts allocating some serious money for this.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Where he was also covering the weather. We just said,
my brother measured they're at fourteen inches in New Orleans,
so that would be well over the eighteen ninety five record.
But I mean we're talking about cities that don't have
there's no salt trucks, there's no plows, there's no preparation
for this, and then you have loss of power mixed
in with it. Travel was very disrupted. How serious was
(32:47):
this storm? I think nine deaths. They are going to
look into it. That takes a while to investigate because
sometimes they die during the storm. Sometimes they die of
hypothermia and exposure, and that is storm related. So we
don't know, but it certainly the ordinary.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, then you get the heart attacks from the snow shoveling,
right right, it's also inevitable part of this, and the
traffic crashes sadly, Look, there are some very dangerous conditions
on the roads out there, some of these I think
New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
They're going to have a high of thirty six today,
So if they got about a foot of snow, that's
not all.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Going away today.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Some of that snow in Pensacola probably won't be there
by three o'clock this afternoon. But some of these other
places where you were getting that wintry mix of slush
that then freezes on the road, that's the real dangerous stuff,
and that's why they're saying just stay home.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I saw dusting once when I was a teenager there.
It's very rare. Obviously, the previous record or the most
recent record, I think was nineteen sixty three and it
was like right at four inches. This was a remarkable
amount of snowfall for New Orleans. Really from Houston over
the meme of the day, hands down, was you know,
you can see Houston Hobby Airport covered with snow plains
all Park says Houston. We have a problem for much
(34:00):
of this area, though there'll be a lot of melting today.
For others not so much. Maybe more like tomorrow the
day after so remarkable winter weather, that's for sure. Roy
good reporting is always January. Well it is Danuary, yeah,
but you're not used to this in Florida. It would
have been just my my twenty five years ago. I
give you a great example. Twenty five years ago, I
(34:21):
got married and we chose, and it was a much
different place. Then we chose Disney World for our honeymoon,
mainly because we wanted to go to France, but I
couldn't afford France, so I knew that in Nepcot. France
is cheaper these days, these days it's cheaper. But we knew,
we knew we could hit at Nepcot Center. But when
we arrived, it was eight degrees and I know, like
(34:44):
New Orleans, you'll explain to them, it's such a humid cold.
It's different. It's it feels remarkably different. Then I got
real sick, and I have the Mickey Mouse doctor. Literally
a doctor with his name, an MD with the Mickey
Mouse ears comes to the door. All right, pal becktover cough.
But but you know when it's cold where you are,
(35:05):
it's really cold, and add a little start of that.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
True, Yeah, forty five feels like twenty five exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, it just feels so much different. And by the way,
that was not a doctor, just so you know, Oh great,
that's what's that. No wonder the hands were so big.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael hild Choo
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
(00:01):
live five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast on.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Odell Churna.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
In the South, they're being slammed by historic snowstarks. Containment
gained over the two big fires in the West, although
a couple of new ones to the south near San Diego.
Welcome to Wednesday, January the twenty second year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. Good morning. Roy
(00:54):
O'Neil is joining us, our national correspondent, Roy. I just
saw meme minutes ago and it's a shot of what
I believe is Houston Hobby Airport, just covered in snow
with planes stranded, and the caption perfectly Houston. We have
a problem, really from Houston. What all across Louisiana into
Alabama and Georgia. The South is experiencing a rare winter snowstorm.
(01:22):
We'll get to New Orleans in a minute, with record
temperatures to go along with it, right right, and it's
significant snowfall. You know, Florida is used to having these
little freakish flurries, but they got eight inches of snow
in Pensacola. They don't know what to do with that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
They don't have a snow shovel, they don't have an
ice scraper, free windshield, they don't have plows.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So this is a problem.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And thankfully in a lot of places the temperatures will
be back over freezing today and a lot of this
is going to melt. But look, parts of New Orleans
got ten inches of snow. It's supposed to be thirty
six degrees today. I'm guessing a lot of that snow
is still going to be around. Yeah, that's not going
to melt.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
My brother started videos and I thought, Okay, I lived
through what was a light dusting when I was a teenager.
The last time they had any significant amount. When I
say significant, I mean four inches, was nineteen sixty three.
The record is ten inches, which was Valentine's Day eighteen
ninety five. And so he sends me the first vide.
(02:19):
I got tough A light dusting there. Oh yeah, uh,
I think you know how cute. And it kept coming
and coming and coming and for hours and the next thing,
I know, that's more snow than we've gotten in Nashville
since I've lived here. In fact, we're going to send
him out in the snow next half hour with a
ruler to measure. But I think they have reached or
maybe surpassed that eighteen ninety five record. What caused all
(02:41):
this is this global warming.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Donald Trump Trump Joe Biden did never happened with Joe
Biden was president. This would have well, they on a snow,
but the Houston airports aren't expected to reopen later today.
They didn't shut them down entirely in advance, so that
was at move. Hopefully they'll be able to get those
travel networks back online, but that's it's going to be
(03:04):
a disruptive day again.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And you talked about we're down to like one minute,
but you talk about there's no infrastructure for this, there's
no planning for this, And then there was I had
one dear friend Blair Coleman, who is in River Ridge
in Jefferson, and you know they lost power to boot.
I mean, but I would think most people are off
the roads. I would hope, right. I mean that has
(03:26):
been the advice. We knew this was coming.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's a little bit heavier I think snow fall than
they had expected by a couple of inches. But you know,
everyone was aware that this storm was coming. It's also
tough if you're a first responder. I mean trying to
drive a fire truck or drive an ambulance and the
roads aren't plowed. A's seven to eight inches of snow
and that's a that's a dangerous, dangerous job.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
All Right, roy O'Neil, you'll be back again later in
the half hour. Next half hour, we're going to talk
a little bit about the large scale deportation beginning. Let's
look at some of the numbers on this. At least
nine people are believed to have died as a result
of the dangerous cold. Whenever we have something like this
and it's there's no room for this, I're up Buffalo.
(04:10):
That's called two day all right, Yeah, I get the joke,
but these are areas that are not used to this
and people that are not used to this, and sometimes
what happens is services are simply disrupted, so a guy
having a heart attack doesn't make it to the hospital.
So you never really know until a few days down
the road. But at least nine right now are believed
to have died as a result of the weather gripping
(04:31):
areas not used to this. Two of them in Austin,
Texas are being investigated as suspected cold related deaths. In Georgia,
officials report one death from hypothermia. Another death is also
to believe to have been hypothermia in Milwaukee, which is
clearly not the South, but and at least five people
died in a vehicle accident caused by icy conditions, and
(04:52):
those were all in the areas of Texas. As far
as record snowfall, Southeast Texas through Louisiana into parts of
Mississippi and Alabama seemed to get the most, an area
stretching from really Houston to Alabama recording widespread snowfall of
three to six inches, again well beyond anything they're used to.
(05:12):
New Orleans seems to have gotten the most. Eight inches
of snow reported at Louis Armstrong International airport two point
seven inches in nineteen sixty three had been the most
recent record. We talked about the record for New Orleans
recorded ten inches of snow on February fourteenth of eighteen
ninety five. Snow has closed or hindered operations at multiple
(05:34):
airports in the South, contributed to more than two three
hundred flight cancelations in the South alone, and more than
nine hundred cancelations so far for today. Meanwhile, while we
got snow and ice of record proportion in the South,
back to the west we go the Palisades Fires in
Los Angeles that started on January seventh and have now
(05:58):
encompassed twenty three thousand, four huns underd and forty eight
acres is at sixty five percent containment. The Eton Fire
in Los Angeles, which is fourteen twenty one acres, is
at eighty nine percent containment. These are tremendous containment gains,
and we talked about this window of opportunity of four
(06:18):
to five days to get these containment numbers up because
there's unfavorable wins. Once again, they got them to roughly
eighty nine percent and sixty five percent, respectively. More strong
winds expected today. Meanwhile, multiple wildfires broke out in San
Diego County yesterday, prompting evacuation orders, school closures, power shutoffs,
(06:41):
while officials in Los Angeles remained on high alert amid
the strong winds and relentless dry conditions. In San Diego,
the Lilac Fire, the largest of the blazes, grew to
eighty five acres and triggered evacuations in a small community
about forty five miles north of San Diego. The Pali Fire,
north of the community in Pala Mesa, burned seventeen acres
(07:05):
of land, initially triggered evacuation orders that have since been
lifted and has been fully contained. The Riverview Fire burned
only one acre of land before firefighters fully contained at
A fourth blaze, called the Friar's Fire, erupted around noon
yesterday near the homes and businesses in the neighborhood of
Mission Valley that's about five miles north of downtown San Diego.
(07:26):
It has since been contained, and The Clay Fire in
Riverside County, first reported at five o'clock yesterday PM near
the intersection of Vanburam Boulevard and Clay Street, began as
a two acre vegetation fire moving at a very slow
rate of spread into very heavy brush. The fire grew
nearly forty acres, according to an alert from cow Fire.
(07:49):
So as you can see in America yesterday on the
ground snow from Houston the most in now Leans and
then into Mississippi and Alabama and to the west. Some
containment gains in the LA area, some new fires to
fight in the San Diego area. Oooh, I've seen five
(08:09):
and I've seen snow. And we're somewhere in the middle,
you know, here in middle Tennessee, Nashville. We had our
sheriff snow. It has since melted and we've had cold temperatures.
But yeah, I'm joking with my brother because I thought, Okay,
they're going to get excited about a little dusting, and
then it just kept coming and coming and coming, and
(08:31):
by the time the video stopped, it was like Doctor
Shivago in New Orleans. So, you know. And at first
I thought, well, you got the nineteen sixty three record.
I can eyeball that that's more than four inches, but
I didn't think there was a chance of beating the
eighteen ninety five record. We will send my brother out
into the backyard with a ruler to measure next half hour.
(08:53):
Also when do large scale deportations begin and who will
be first on the list? Royaltil will be back with
that's we've kind of had a big conversation early this morning,
and if you missed it, that's why we have the podcast.
Jeffrey would want me to remind you. You'll find the
podcast in the iHeart Podcast section under your morning show
or Michael del Joorno. Once you find it, hit subscribe,
(09:13):
and when you do, every morning, each hour will be
there for you waiting roughly by ninth Central the latest
I think. Share it, share it with your friends and family.
And but what you like to point out is we
also do segments as well. So if you hear something
you like, share it on your social media, share it
with family and friends, more yours at the table of
(09:35):
your morning show. That's what we all need. So check
it out on the podcast. But we were talking about,
you know, the two things. One it seems as though
something more than just Donald Trump is one this time,
and it seems the reverse is true as well. More
than just Joe Biden has lost or Kamala Harris has
lost this time, Wokeness seems to be dying as well.
(10:00):
Narratives and really attacks on people's values and beliefs seem
to have ended. And for the left, you're seeing some tantrums,
You're seeing some reactions. There's really no audience for it.
We could give oxygen to it. I could play a
(10:21):
liberal LGBTQ bishop giving a lecture to Donald Trump and
the vice president. It was a classless, b inappropriate c
not accurate politically or biblically. And I thought the president
and the family, I mean, they did look around a
little bit, but they handled it better than I would have.
I'd have just left. If you're not here with prayers,
(10:46):
blessings and eternal truths, but here with a political lecture.
That's not church, that's MSNBC, I'd left. He's a better
man than me. But what we see is reactions and tantrums,
and I think you see that because they don't really
(11:07):
have a response and the bigger question early on, and
it's only two days and it's tough to get your
arms around. As we've said, Also, most second term presidents
don't get another first one hundred days. This one does.
Most first term or second term do one or two
(11:27):
things in the first hundred days. This one's not about
two hundred things in the first forty eight hours. It's
tough to get your arms around. We're moving fast. There's
some hypocrisies along the way. And this is where I
say more lost than just Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
So as they criticize the January sixth pardons, they have
(11:48):
to ignore all the pardons of Joe Biden on the
way out the door. Or how about the amnesia over
BLM and Antifa prior to the twenty twenty elections. That
was good trouble then being allowed into the Capitol, that's insurrection.
(12:09):
So David and I is going to join us? Is
there a movement towards the center? And will I will
just come right out and say it. The longer they
don't have a response because reactions tantrums, that's not gonna
do anything. It's going to fall as flat as that
bishop yesterday. But the longer they go without a response,
the more their party comes to the right and all
(12:31):
of America comes to the center. Plays right into the thesis.
This is more than a Donald Trump victory. This is
more than a reshaping and a correction of course for America,
for the next four years, what politically is happening that
(12:52):
could be generational. We'll sort that out with David Sonati
in the third hour, So stay with us. Top five
stories of the day are coming up for you. Next,
I'll keep an eye on the fires to the west
of the snow to the south, and wish you a
very good morning and a hearty Welcome to the kitchen table.
On this Wednesday, the twenty second of January.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Del Choano coming up. Some of your talkbacks, got one
from Telsea Youngstown. We're more than happy to add you.
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio Apple'll see a little microphone.
Press it. You can ask a question, make a comment instantly.
Join the show. No longer do you have to wait
on hold. Use that talkback button. We'll get to your
talkbacks in a moment. If you're just waking up, President
Trump provoked Bolton's Secret Service protection. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Bolton was Trump's National security advisor, but inspired in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You take a job, you want to do a job.
We're not going to have security on people for the
rest of their lives. Why should we.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
In twenty twenty one, President Biden granted him Secret Service
protection after a threat on his life from Iran. Meeting
with reporters Tuesday, Trump called Bolton a warmonger and a
stupid guy. Bolton said he learned of the news Monday night,
just hours after President Trump's inauguration.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'm Mark Mayfield. I mean, the stupid guys what everybody's
going to hear. But the truth is, you know, how
long can you give everybody secret service? President Trump will
sit down for his one of those guys, stupid, those
stupid guy. President Trump's going to sit down in the
first Oval Office interview. It'll be filmed today. It will
air tonight with Sean Hannity on Fox eighth Central nine Eastern.
(14:21):
Bill Burr Shane Gillis. They're going to host a comedy
event to help raise funds for Los Angeles wildfires.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
The show will take place on January twenty seventh, with
proceeds going to the Wildfire Relief Fund. Tickets around sale
now from Live Nation. The show is just one of
the many events popping up in LA to fundraise for
those affected by the fires, including the TCL Chinese Theater
with special showings and another concert scheduled for January thirtieth,
(14:47):
featuring stars including Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and
Billie Eilish.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I'm Brian Shook. Donald Trump's second inauguration Monday drew fewer
viewers than the first one in twenty seventeen, and fewer
than former President Joe Biden's as well. Tammy Treelo has
the count.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
According to Nielsen, nearly twenty four point six million people
watched Trump become the forty seventh president. That was down
from thirty three point seven million for Biden and thirty
point six million for Trump's first inauguration. Some seventeen point
four million viewers this year were age fifty five and older,
and Fox News coverage of the event by far drew
the most viewers. Second inaugurations typically do pull in lower
(15:26):
ratings than the first. I'm Tamma for Heo.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Israel's military chief of staff is resigning over his failures
to prevent the October seventh attack, Lisa Taylor reports.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Lieutenant General Hertzi Heleevi said he's stepping down in March.
He wrote in a letter to Israeli officials he's making
the move as a result of my responsibility for the
IDFs failure on October seventh, and at a time when
the military has recorded exceptional achievements in restoring Israel's deterrence
and strength. This is the most high profile stepping down
of an Israeli official linked to the October seventh attack.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Finally, said Taylor, So you wouldn't be nice to have
depression leave with the mist of a nose spray. Well,
the FDA has approved just that from Johnson and Johnson.
Sarah le Kessler reports.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
The spray, called Spravado, is the first ever standalone therapy
for treating major depressive disorder that fails to improve with
standard drug regiments. Spravado, which has been used since twenty
nineteen along with an oral medication, can now be used
by itself. Health experts say about a third of the
twenty one million US adults who suffer from treatment resistant
(16:30):
major depression aren't getting relief from symptoms, which can include
persistent sadness, insomnia, lack of energy, and suicidal ideations.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
That's your top five stories waking up this morning.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Hi, I'm actress Lisa Varga, and my morning show is
your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard lot each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee,
two Below, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than ever. We're
grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Well, the DEI employees were served there. Notice they've been
put on leave by a very busy President Donald Trump.
The Secret Service protection for Bolton has been taking away,
and two Americans who were being held in Afghanistan are
now free. We had great gains and the containment of
the two main main fires in the Los Angeles area. Unfortunately,
(17:38):
a couple of new ones started near San Diego. But
a lot of attention has been given to the record
snow and freezing temperatures where it's not normal the South.
The record in New Orleans I did this research yesterday
was ten inches of snow on Valentine's Day, February fourteenth,
eighteen ninety five. Now, the way it all began, once
(18:00):
my brother start sending videos. You know, I got light dusting,
and I'm like, well, isn't that cute? You got yourself
a light dust and go outside write your name in
the snow. But it just kept coming, and it just
kept coming, and before it was done, it was like
doctor Javago. So I thought, well, we should see if
we just broke what would that be. I got two
(18:22):
hundred and thirty year record or one and thirty year record.
So we've got my brother Pick on the line in
New Orleans. Good morning Pick. It was more than a dust,
It was more than a dusting. That was quite a
snowman you made. Why did you choose to make the
snowman a doadger? Well, why did you notice this or
not that?
Speaker 10 (18:41):
The snowman we use mister potato head parts and it
was very ingenious and I think it was the best
snowman in the city. They've been putting them on Fox
Date here, and I think hours was by far the
best snowman. But no, I'm telling you, first of all,
I don't mean to correct you. Michael says, I'm not
in a correct business. But that ten inches in eighteen
(19:03):
ninety five with a two day total, Okay, so that
was a two day total, and yesterday in my back
yard I had twelve.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
So you did know you measured already. So I was
going to send you that. We have a grill. We
got to do a childhood story. So here's a great
childhood that one. I've got one set up. I've got
one seta Oh right, let me do mine first? Can
I do mine first? Okay, go ahead, it's going to
be about getting the logs well. Vic used to. Vic
used to always threaten to leave when we were younger,
which was very traumatic for me because he was like
(19:32):
my father, and my mother would always remind him, if
you leave, you will leave this house the way you
came into this world naked. So Vic, now you're picturing
a kid, don't He was, you know, like a young man.
He was sixteen years old. So Vic dramatically takes all
his clothes off. He's dark naked. It's sub zero outside
(19:53):
in Arlington Heights, Illinois, northwest suburb of Chicago. There's at
least a foot and a half of snow out there,
and he pursued. He's out the back door of the kitchen,
stark naked, and then you know, I'm thinking he just
pop off for a second, come right back in. Mom
slams the door and locks it for a few minut
I believe it was either rescued you. But what was
your story going to be? Well? I was a bit
(20:14):
of a strong little child, is what I want? Just
a little yeah?
Speaker 10 (20:22):
No, my story was, remember I used to make you
go out and when it was a lot of snow
out there and we were doing the fire. You know,
Bobby did the fire. The little brother Bobby did the fire.
He was Bobby Bombfire. He was Bobby Bonfire. And I
remember you remember this.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Do you remember the song when Bobby Bombfire comes out
with a.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
With a alright, go ahead. He can make anything anything.
He was Bobby Bonfire. You know I put him in
the drying when he's a toime. But that's the problem.
You know, you haven't forgiven yourself for that. No, I haven't.
I really haven't. No. But yesterday was I mean, you know,
(21:03):
I think that the best thing about yesterday was is
you know I got up in the morning and I said,
like you said, I saw the light dusting and then
then as it started toteming, I walked outside of.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Walk the islan you know, because you know I live.
I live in the city. I'm not in the suburb.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
I'm in the city, and just to go outside and feel,
you know, the snow coming down silent, it was something
and it just kind of reminded me of what God,
what the Lord talked about in the in the psalms,
what David talked about about. Our sins were washing white snow.
You know, there's something about snow that that that that's clean.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, you know, it issulated. It insulated too, which is
another fun thing to think about, but it is. And
that was like when we were kids. It was so
peaceful when you would go outside, It's like beyond silent.
And you know, I've seen snow with your travels, but
you're not used to seeing it in your neighborhood, that's
for sure.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
No, No, and this was I mean this was a
major I mean there was a lot of I mean,
we're stuck in that. We can't go anywhere today. I mean,
we're stuck all day. You probably won't building you that house,
so priding now people from Arkansas brought down some trucks.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
It brought down some trucks. They that yeah, clear, no time,
we're in here, we're down there. You know, Copenhagen for
a week, but they'll be there to help.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
No, but there's that everybody. You should have seen the
stores the ninety four it was even, it was it
was the hurricane times ten.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You know.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Let me just say they really did predict this thing, right,
and we're talking about a week before. Of course I
do a podcast and I havn't be the Relative Summit
podcast on theretot who really started to uh predict this?
And then when you started say five, no, way, five
to six, no, it just wouldn't stop. It snowed for
twelve hours, it was, and it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And you saw the picture of the house. Huh. I
told you, I told you got your Ristmas card. A
little known fact, my brother Vic and New Orleans we
have surpassed. Now we can confirm twelve inches, which would
beat the eighteen ninety five record of ten inches in
New Orleans. So this is certainly a historic snowfall. I
can tell you that those are two two day total
(23:16):
to ten inches. Well either way, you beat it, you
beat it in one even take it to but you're
not expecting they're not expecting any horse. But here's a
little known truth now in the class of eighty two
of the Cold Classic. You have yours truly, who has
a premier national morning show. And then you have Bruce Gat.
Bruce Gat, yeh from my class, is the meteorologist, big
meteorologist in norms. So does Bruce forecast any more snow?
(23:39):
Or is it? And when will the melt take place? No?
Speaker 10 (23:41):
No, no, no, no, we have sunshine today. It may
it over freezing to the low attom of it. Some
may melt. It won't be till pride it really until
it really starts to melt.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But no, Bruce was right on top of it.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
You know, Bruce could be found every day at noon
at me is this pub and drink their Gosh.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
We don't we don't want to out that, all right.
So obviously you and I grew up with snow. We
would walk to school in the snow. We would play
in the snow. I tell people used to walk about
how long was it? How far walk was it South
Junior High? And that mile? Oh it was more than that. Yeah,
it was like it was over a half hour walk. Yeah.
(24:23):
And I used to play the little game of how
long could I walk without the snow? You know, giving away?
So I would actually walk on top of the snow.
That's how much. That's how cold it was in Chicago.
Remember you get to our lady of Wayside and you
weren't quite to south yet and by then you were
frozen snow. But you know, you know, for your grandkids,
this this had to be memorable.
Speaker 10 (24:42):
This is the first time a lot of them have
seen snow. Well, you know, the big tubs you are
bringing to the storage space. You know, of course we
have a storage space, Martha and I and every time
we go there we fight, but I regret. But the
top of the tub, we were going down the levee
in down by the lakefront and we're sledding.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
We were sledding. Uh. They were loving that. They were
just loving it. Edie, frozen nutrient. Did you come across
any No frozen nutria? No, But it really it's I
don't know what to say.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
I mean, you know when you talk about the Golden
Day and you got Monday, all that stuff that Trump
was beautiful. I stayed all the watchful thing and they
get a lickor work done, and then you had what
went on yesterday. May be the beginning of the Golden Age.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It is certainly the picture of you. I never thought
i'd see the outside of your house look like that.
And I told you then and I'll say it again
here on the air. You got your Christmas card? Yeah,
you got your Christmas card. Pure, that's for sure.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
I can let me go real quick, not real quick.
Before I go, I just won't let you know that
there's still people in need on the West Foak that
needs help. I'm supporting Project Hope there on the ground
in Los Angeles actly actively putting other hygiene kits. This
placed families are being uh putting in shelters. They need
your help a lot. Just go to Project clup dot
org and help out.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Okay, and radiact away Project Hope dot org. Appreciate it
back all right, we can confirm it's twelve inches. Therefore
you have a new record, surpassing eighteen ninety five. And
it was done it one day, not two.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. May Now,
my morning show has always been your morning show. Hey,
it's Mike McCann checking in from Ice Station, New Allans
where yesterday snow skis on Burton Street and ice skates
and sleds.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Well.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Hey, as the left is sent for years. Guys, if
Trump ever gets back into the White House, so hell freeze.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Over, Okay back, Yeah, but I left Hell. He's still
living there calling at hell. Oh that's a classic.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Even our voice, guys as smart that like are out here.
If you're just waking up fifty minutes after the hour,
record snowfall in the South over twelve inches in dolings
of all places, and even our voice cut by the
couple quick plugs. My brother is the king of all podcasting.
His podcast is called all over the Road. You can
google it everywhere podcasts are heard. And just one more time,
(27:21):
as he mentioned, project Hope dot org if you want
to help those in south in southern California. Meanwhile, President
Trump very busy in his first one hundred days, ordering
all federal employees and diversity, equity and inclusion roles to
be placed on leave. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
The news comes after Trump signed an executive director of
ending federal DEI programs, with offices being ordered to shut down.
White House Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt called the move
a win for Americans, calling DEI programs a scourage on society.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I'm Mark Mayfield, don't forget. President Trump will have his
first sit down for his oval office interview in his
second term. That's going to take place with Sean Hanny.
They're going to pretape it today. It will air the
conversation tonight, nine Eastern, eight Central, Bill Burr Shane gillis
among the hosts. As a comedy event to raise funds
(28:14):
in Los Angeles for the wildfire victims takes place. Brian
Shook us All Morning Long has the details.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
The show will take place on January twenty seventh, with
proceeds going to the Wildfire Relief Fund. Tickets around sale
now from Live Nation. The show is just one of
the many events popping up in LA to fundraise for
those affected by the fires, including the TCL Chinese Theater
with special showings and another concert scheduled for January thirtieth
(28:42):
featuring stars including Lady Gagat, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and
Billie Eilish.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm Brian Shook. Los Angeles Merrik Karen Bass is taking
steps to shore up burn areas ahead of a possible rainstorm.
Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 12 (28:57):
I signed an executive order to expedite de bree removal
slash regulations, preventing swift rebuilding, and establishing a framework to
secure additional regulatory relief and resources.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
With the order, Bass hopes to mitigate potentially serious health
and environmental impacts of fire related hazardous pollutants on the
stormwater system, beaches, and the ocean. The emergency Executive Order
Marshall's city public works crews to clear and remove vegetation,
shore up hillsides, reinforce roads, and clear debris from burn
areas ahead of any rainy weather that could arrive on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Finally, said Taylor, well, Netflix has kind of getting like
postage stamps. They just keep raising and raising and raising.
The subscription price is going up yet again. The streamer
announced yesterday that the standard plan without ADS is increasing
by two dollars and fifty cents to seventeen ninety nine
a month. Its ADS supported tier will go up one
dollar and yeah, one dollar to seven ninety nine a month. Well,
(29:55):
I think I'm the one without ADS, so I'm going
I'm gonna go up two two dollars and fifty sens
to seventeen ninety nine. Price. That comes as the company
reported nearly nineteen million new subscribers in the fourth quarter
ending December thirty first of last year. Well, if there's
one thing's for sure, Donald Trump says what he means
and means what he says. He's following through on everything
(30:16):
he said really in the first day. So that begs
the question, when do the large scale deportations begin and
who will be first on the list? Your Morning Show
national correspondent Roy O'Neil's here with that story.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Good morning, Rory, Good morning. I think we're expecting a
bit more activity yesterday. But the frontman on this immigration
plan that the Trump administration has says that ICE agents
had been working, i'd say, behind the scenes to start
to facilitate a lot of these deportations.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
The symbolism of where to start, how much of that
is attached to states the plan to be defiant or
cities and municipalities the plan to be defiant? And is
that playing into it? Or where do we know how
this list was formed?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, Well they're not saying first of all, but they're
suggesting that it's going to be places like Chicago, Denver, Boston,
New York, LA. It's going to be the big cities,
typically with Democrat mayors who might actually secretly like this
because it's expected that because they're really targeting people who
have committed crimes, violent crimes in particular, a lot of
(31:22):
the people being deported are probably already in a jail
or a prison, and they're the ones who might be
going out first. And I'm sure that would be to
the delight of some of these governors and.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Mayors to have their jails emptied out. California probably expect resistance,
but Chicago and New York are very interesting. That's city
number three and New York City number one. The New
York mayor very interested in this, very cooperative in this.
In Chicago, the people want it, and the mayor and
the council have kind of been against it. So they'll
(31:55):
play out differently. But as you mentioned, all indications are
the answered to the question who's first on the list
are going to be those that have committed crimes after
committing the crime of coming into the country illegally, right right, right.
And it's also going to you know, it's gonna be nationwide.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I don't think we're expecting this to be in the South,
the northeast or something like that. So and this really
can't ramp up to a full operation until Congress gets
involved and starts allocating some serious money for this.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Where he was also covering the weather. We just said,
my brother measured they're at fourteen inches in New Orleans,
so that would be well over the eighteen ninety five record.
But I mean we're talking about cities that don't have
there's no salt trucks, there's no plows, there's no preparation
for this, and then you have loss of power mixed
in with it. Travel was very disrupted. How serious was
(32:47):
this storm? I think nine deaths. They are going to
look into it. That takes a while to investigate because
sometimes they die during the storm. Sometimes they die of
hypothermia and exposure, and that is storm related. So we
don't know, but it certainly the ordinary.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, then you get the heart attacks from the snow shoveling,
right right, it's also inevitable part of this, and the
traffic crashes sadly, Look, there are some very dangerous conditions
on the roads out there, some of these I think
New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
They're going to have a high of thirty six today,
So if they got about a foot of snow, that's
not all.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Going away today.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Some of that snow in Pensacola probably won't be there
by three o'clock this afternoon. But some of these other
places where you were getting that wintry mix of slush
that then freezes on the road, that's the real dangerous stuff,
and that's why they're saying just stay home.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I saw dusting once when I was a teenager there.
It's very rare. Obviously, the previous record or the most
recent record, I think was nineteen sixty three and it
was like right at four inches. This was a remarkable
amount of snowfall for New Orleans. Really from Houston over
the meme of the day, hands down, was you know,
you can see Houston Hobby Airport covered with snow plains
all Park says Houston. We have a problem for much
(34:00):
of this area, though there'll be a lot of melting today.
For others not so much. Maybe more like tomorrow the
day after so remarkable winter weather, that's for sure. Roy
good reporting is always January. Well it is Danuary, yeah,
but you're not used to this in Florida. It would
have been just my my twenty five years ago. I
give you a great example. Twenty five years ago, I
(34:21):
got married and we chose, and it was a much
different place. Then we chose Disney World for our honeymoon,
mainly because we wanted to go to France, but I
couldn't afford France, so I knew that in Nepcot. France
is cheaper these days, these days it's cheaper. But we knew,
we knew we could hit at Nepcot Center. But when
we arrived, it was eight degrees and I know, like
(34:44):
New Orleans, you'll explain to them, it's such a humid cold.
It's different. It's it feels remarkably different. Then I got
real sick, and I have the Mickey Mouse doctor. Literally
a doctor with his name, an MD with the Mickey
Mouse ears comes to the door. All right, pal becktover cough.
But but you know when it's cold where you are,
(35:05):
it's really cold, and add a little start of that.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
True, Yeah, forty five feels like twenty five exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, it just feels so much different. And by the way,
that was not a doctor, just so you know, Oh great,
that's what's that. No wonder the hands were so big.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
