Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work, but better late
(00:21):
than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this to build. This is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell John. You know, listen talk this morning.
About twenty million, little over twenty million watched the inauguration,
and we're so obsessed with all these numbers, and of
course everything's so fragmented, the days of like all in
(00:51):
the Family getting in sixty five percent of the television audience.
It makes it very difficult to discuss things in America
today because everybody is spread out and so fragmented. But
I'm often reminded of Jesus, who did most of his
spend most of his time in most of his teaching
with twelve. We take these one at a time. We're
so grateful you're spending time with us this morning. And
(01:12):
welcome to my twenty fifth wedding anniversary twenty five years ago.
Today I had no pants. My the tuxedo pants did
not arrive. We had to hold off the service about
ten minutes. I did not have pants until ten minutes
before my wedding.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Joe, and I've lost my shirt ever since. Eight minutes
after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, January the twenty second.
You have our lord twenty twenty five r. Let's get
you up to speed on a conversation we began in
the five o'clock hour. Some themes that have been coming
up throughout this inaugural week one, it seems like it
feels like it's becoming a parent more than just Donald
(01:52):
Trump one this time. That's different from the first time. Two.
More than just Kamala Harris and Joe Biden lost this time.
That's apparent. There's preceded by the death of journalism, but
there seems to be a death to woke political correctness
and DEI along with it. And we're seeing tantrums here
(02:13):
and there. You can catch one on MSNBC. You can
catch one from a couple of politicians, AOC or whomever.
And as we saw yesterday, you can see a bit
of a tantrum from a bishop at a liberal church. Tantrums.
That's one thing. Reactions, that's one thing. What we don't
(02:33):
see yet is a response. The left doesn't seem to
have a response. Moreover, if this is bigger than just
Donald Trump, what does it really mean for our time
and for all time culturally, politically, for the landscape over
a twelve year or more period of time? Is American?
I think they began read help me where they were
(02:54):
exploring that was that daily signal or no, somebody on
the I think with somebody on the left, or maybe
with CNN, But they're exploring this is America coming to
the center? Is the IMC You know, we used to
always say, hands down, the Democrat Party went so far
left and it took America to the left with it. Well,
(03:17):
then America got so far left and so far crazy right.
I ended up floating into the center. Where is America
today and what will the impact be and is it
going to have the impact of pulling America back to
the center. These kinds of deep discussions anybody can describe, well,
not anybody. A lot of people don't connect the dots
of understanding of the moment, but then to take a
(03:39):
peek at what's coming, what's forming, and speaks to what
tomorrow might look like. For these kinds of conversations, we
always turned to our senior contributor, Dave David Soonati with
the American Policy Roundtable to Public Square, you sensing the
same things.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
There's a tremendous amount of relief out there, and there's
a very strong sense of affirmation that the people have
been in this position for quite some time. They've just
been denied the ability to function by the oligarchs of
the Biden administration and the administrative state. So yeah, it's
(04:15):
more like an unveiling. But all that being said, Michael,
I'm not suggesting you're going too far at all, but
it is already old news in this regard. We work
up to this election of a president in the last year,
everyone's sort of in a position of believing that this
is a referendum on our basic, our very souls. So
(04:37):
we can press all of our issues into one little
funnel and one little race. Maybe it trickles down into
the Senate, maybe it trickles down to the House, and
this time it did significantly. But then it's over. Now
we're back to business as normal. And what do we
walk into. We walk into Chuck Schumer, and Chuck Schumer
is only symbolic of the culture that exists in the
(04:58):
United States Senate, which is that those people that club
of one hundred are smarter than all the rest of us,
and they are there to exercise their wills over the
will of the people in any election because they're smarter
than all of us. So now Schumer is giving us
the first real image of what it looks like as
(05:18):
the Democrats resist and drag. There's no reason that Trump's
nominee shouldn't all be already sitting in their offices this morning,
except Chuck Schumer and his pals. And that's not going
to change. This is just the beginning of sorrows. They
know they must stop Donald Trump's legislative agenda, and they
must stop it in the United States Senate.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And that's the next two years of fight. Let's take
it one at a time, are you other than that,
which hasn't really played out yet, probably going to play
out or the attempt is going to be But to
your point, I would say, do you think there's any
one of these nominees it's not going to be confirmed,
because I think every single one of them will be sure.
(06:02):
They'll just drag it as long as they they don't
have an audience, what do they I mean, dragging it
is one thing, but they don't have an audience cheering
it on. There's not a portion of America. They don't
have the media to fan those flames. I mean, we
even played a clip earlier where you know, you've got
CNN basically saying, oh, it's kind of refreshing to see
a president, you know, on inauguration night he's in the
(06:23):
Oval Office signing executive orders and talking about each twenty
signing with the press, you know. But but there doesn't
seem to be any real I don't see. I don't
see anything that reveals what their response is going to be,
no other than the fact that they've got that they're
watching the same clock we're watching. Every day Chuck Schumer
slows them down.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Is one less day that Donald Trump and the people
that came to Washington with him have the opportunity to
bring about the changes that they want to and that's right.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Now all they can do, all they can do is drag.
So if and I would think we would all agree
on this. The Democrat Party clear went too far in narrative,
in policy for the American people. And as you mentioned earlier,
this has been brewing long before this referendum election. You know,
men born male walking into women's bathrooms, fighting against women's
(07:16):
swimming against women. That appeared to be too far. The
anti semitism went too far, the good trouble that we
saw with Antifa and BLM went too far with the
anti cop rhetoric. So all of that too far. America
was ready to respond and the walls just came tumbling down.
They couldn't silence any opposition because they didn't control all
(07:37):
the social media. Now all the social media seems to
behind Donald Trump. They can't control the narrative because America
moved on digitally, and legacy media is somewhat dead, certainly
of ratings, revenue, and influence. So my question to you
is if in fact, the Democrat Party went far left
for a while took a portion of America with it
(07:57):
to the left went too far. America sees it doesn't work,
rejects it. That means they got to come back towards
the center.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Right, Well, no, the Democrats are not coming back to
the center. No, No, this is their island. This is
their island. Now they'll pretend they'll change, they'll morph their
rhetoric a bit, but they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There's no backup for them, because backup for them is
a change of mind. And they don't think very well.
I'm not saying they're stupid. I'm saying they don't think
very well.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
As a platform, they put culture, moral relativism, universalism, humanism
above God, and way to tribalism. So how do they
repent from that? They obviously believe in government should be
the solution to everything and control everything and knows better
than everyone. How do they retreat from that? But how
(08:58):
do they win moving forward?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Their strategy has to be to drag and drag and
drag and hope then that they can uncover the next
series of scandals that will drag down the reputation of
the people that are in power, and that they can
then raise up another celebrity or that some historic unforeseen
issue arises like COVID or something else that upsets the
(09:20):
rest of the administrative balance that paralyzes drump What.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The bishop did yesterday inappropriate, not very accurate execute of scripture.
It was certainly the least, to say the least. It
wasn't even an accurate portrayal of the geopolitical rhetoric of
the season when you're talking specifically about those who break
into the country and then rape, then murder than human traffic,
(09:47):
then rob and steal and commit crimes and bring drugs.
But it fell flat. I mean, you know, so if
you play that, is it just a matter of it's
too soon to play that card, or is this going
to be a problem for them for months to come?
Because Donald Trump has done this masterfully. This is about
(10:08):
what the American people wanted and then him delivering what
the American people wanted and needed. Your only way to
get back is to now attack the American people, not
this president. That's a tricky listen. I'm telling you. If
we put on our hats and we pretended we were
demo Democrat operatives right now, I don't know what to
tell them to do.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh even though we could list the strategies, they're desperate
strategies they're difficult. They need some serious breaks, They need
some serious breaks of history. Now that all being said,
the biggest question is credibility, and the Minister brings that
point forward false moral authority. Michael, I spent quite a
(10:51):
bit of time last night studying old dictionaries. And you think, well,
my goodness, everybody's got an old dictionary on their shelf.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You'd be surprised. Oh, they've changed like textbooks in high school.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well, you go back to eighteen twenty eight Websters first,
and then you look at the second, and you go
up through all the different editions of the Collegiate Dictionary.
I went back from nineteen sixty three toteen the nineteen
nineties to see something about what that bishop was talking about.
I wanted to see the difference between the words sex
and gender in the American dictionary. And I will tell
(11:22):
you can go back from eighteen twenty eight, the whole
way up in the nineteen nineties, and sex and gender
are synonymous.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
They're synonymous.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You look after gender, and the itight to one is
sex and what you go to sex, and that's the
difference between male and female. The second thing of gender
was always from eighteen twenty eight forward. It has to
do with grammatical interpretation of nouns and verbs and adverbs.
It's a grammatical term. This is a very recent development,
and now we have people like WebMD telling you that
(11:52):
there's a difference between the two words. I mean, the
medical community has sold out completely into this fantasy that's
got the all about the historical, credible, academic credentials of
a comic book.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I want to come back, if you'll indulge our audience.
I want to talk about what our founding fathers viewed
as self evident truth versus what we've lived the past
ten to fifteen years, because I think somewhere in this
whole common sense theme that has developed is really self
(12:32):
evident truth. And if that's true, that is something that
could be be more than just a one term thing
for America to rediscover more with our senior contributor, David
Zanati when Your Morning Show continues next.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Jno.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I was watching yesterday some leftists trying to rebel against
the president's pardon of the J six members and of
course completely ignoring the Biden partons on the way out
the door. But more importantly those during BLM and Antifa
attacking police officers and cities. I mean, it reminds me
(13:12):
of when Lacy Peterson was killed. Scott Peterson got two
murder charges for Connor, an unborn child who had a name,
and a charge that went along with it. I mean,
these are the kinds of you know, inconsistencies and hypocrisies
that are out there, really begs. Our final segment, which
is Donald Trump's kind of framed all this. He certainly
(13:32):
did within the inaugural address, and he has sense and
I think the media has picked up on this, especially
on the right, that this stuff is common sense, that
it's not a political pendulum as much as an awakening
to common sense, which Begs are founding Father's view of
self evident truth. It became self evident truth that they're
(13:57):
not plural one person. They may be having some struggles
in their mind about their gender, and we know statistically
that's a very fluid thing. They even admit it's fluid,
and they build in the fluidity. But America's kind of
taken a more self evident or common sense look at that.
America doesn't know it, but they're on the brink of
(14:19):
discovering something that's pretty critical in this experiment, self evident truth.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, and Michael, there's two ways of defining self evident truth.
They both work, they both fit together. The first is
that it's obvious, as plain as the nose on your face,
which is what human sexuality.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Used to be for people.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Pretty obvious, and biologically scientifically, it's still totally obvious in
regards to xxxy in all the follows. The second one
is that a self evident truth is in and of
itself so obvious that it doesn't need more proving because
the proof of it is contained within itself. In other words,
(15:00):
we talk about male and female, Well, the further you look,
the more the evidence there. It's just obvious. It's self evident.
The farther you look, you need no other attestation. It's
right there. And of course, the declaration of independence is
the rationale which builds the worldview and the mindset of
how we come to the conclusions about how we look
(15:20):
at each other. It's a social compact that's built upon
a set of principles and a set of precepts, and
it was something that was agreed upon and sacrificed for
and gave birth to the mindset that controlled the Constitutional Convention.
Now we're going to be celebrating all of this stuff
coming into the twenty twenty six and coming into the
(15:41):
celebration for the Declaration of Independence two hundred fiftieth anniversary.
If Trump and Doge and all of the players put
this forward with integrity and historical accuracy and honesty, we're
going to have a chance to have a history lesson
that's going to compel people to understand that we're walking
in a better world view direction.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
When we had a president you couldn't even talk. Yeah,
and you bring up Doge Vivey Ramaswami. All indications are
will be leaving Doge to go run for governor in Ohio.
He may be the one who is best able to
have that teachable moment and explain it to the American people.
But America's figured out what didn't work. They haven't connected
the dots of our intent and what has always worked.
That's still an awakening. I don't think that has happened
(16:22):
yet and is critical.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Hi there, I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is
Your Morning Show with Michael Beljorno.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hi, It's Michael, your Morning Show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like WILM and
w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia. We're gonna need
some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Thanks for bringing us along with you. I've asked David
Zanati to come into overtime. We're kind of having a
discussion about the tantrums the reactions, but we don't really
see a clear response yet from the Democrats. They may
not have one. Then I'm overhearing David and RHDD have
this conversation off the year, which is the reverse of that,
how can the Republicans reach into the jaws of victory
(17:20):
and grab defeat? And Red brought up something You brought
up something brilliant, David early on months ago. If this
is viewed in terms of twelve years and not the
next four years, that'd be the first smart step for
the Republicans. Then I heard Red say something brilliant off
the year, which is Donald Trump is going to view
(17:42):
because he already had a presidency, then he goes away
for four years, he comes back completely different for a
second first term is what it feels like, and a
second first one hundred days, and then he can view
the midterm as his reelection because it really wasn't a
wave as much as it was a Trump Orange wave.
(18:03):
And he's got to be able to combine that and
kind of the party must, you know, not absorb it,
but be changed by it. These are all keys to
how they play it. And the history has been that
you scandal, as you brought up. But the other history
is never underestimate the ability for the Republicans to blow
it at the state level in the Senate, in the House,
(18:25):
and so on, and that could be the play. I mean,
most of what we're discussing is the difficulty in getting
the presidency in the next twelve years, but there's not
huge difficulty in getting control of Senate in two years.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, and I'm looking at those Senate numbers right now, Red,
and I've been talking over the break as well. This
if this election was held today, there'd be no change
in the Senate except that the Democrats may lose the
seat in Georgia, right, I mean, it could be a
Republican plus one right now, even though the exposure of
the seats is twenty two to thirteen as far as
(18:59):
the Republicans having more exposure than the Democrats. But right now,
when you look at the actual numbers, the districts, the results,
and the candidates, and right now there's no retirements that
have been announced. But I think right at the best point,
if Trump treats that election like it is his final
term and this his last election, then that can guarantee
(19:20):
that situation.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
If they don't crack.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
The Senate and the Republicans hold the House, now everything changes.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
And you said, why don't we just got done with
an election? It was a couple of days in inauguration.
What are we doing? What are we doing? You real
that's how close to twenty twenty You don't it's here already.
So and then you brought up earlier the transferral of leadership,
and that speaks to how Donald Trump handles things, probably
not the first hundred days, but immediately after the first
(19:46):
hundred days. To set the table we presume for JD vance.
Although DeSantis is in the wings, Marco Rubio's in the wings.
Quite frankly, you could make a case maybe even somebody
like Telsea Gabbard or RFK Junior is in the wings
to pair up with JD. Vans. Explain what you mean
by that, because there has to be a seamless transition,
(20:10):
otherwise it's going to go right back to being R
versus D. And that isn't what was victorious in this
previous election.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
For momentum to continue, you don't need the interference of
primary challengers.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
That's what George W.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Bush had going for him when the open seat was
going to be available after Obama. The Republican Party united
in that regard. Now again, I'm not a Republican. I
just happened to do elections for a living, and I
can tell you that right now the first hundred days
has got to be the first fifty.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We don't have one hundred days, only have fifty.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And that's why Schumer is doing the Only thing you
can do is to try to slow down the clock.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
So these are all now.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The one thing, Michael, I do want to make sure
that I say is I personally because public policy is
the mission field that we serve in the American policronde
on the public square. I don't plan to ever ever,
let anyone I talked to who wants to know forget
that for five years we had someone running for the
presidency and in the White House who couldn't put two
(21:13):
sentences together back to back.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We were so vulnerable. It is the merciful grace of God.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Now it is that we didn't get wiped out in
that five year period.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
But there are a lot of Jews who died a
terrible death. There's a lot of Ukrainians who died a
terrible death that could have been a lot worse here
at home if passed his prologue. I want to end
on this note. This goes back to something I observed.
I've never heard anybody else say it. I don't know
that I could even prove it, but I know that
I know that I know that I'm right, and it's
(21:44):
more of a gift of discernment. I will go to
my grave believing Donald Trump wanted Marco Rubio, not JD. Vance.
I think Donald Trump Junior wanted JD.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Vance.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
And it's interesting, that's why you saw Marco Rubio get
Secretary of State, and that leaves DeSantis on the sidelines.
So now when we move forward minus Trump, Jade Vance
is in the position to be the anointed one, but
Dessandis is still on the outside. Rubio's on the inside.
How does past prologue play out with those two? I
(22:18):
don't know that there's obviously there's not room in the
ticket for both. Well, it's such a great insightful question.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I think that I know just enough about Ron DeSantis'
personal commitment and character that he's more concerned about the
country than he is about himself. And if he can
finish strong in Florida and still be of service, he
will serve wherever he has that best opportunity. I think
that's what Marco Rubio did. So you've got three, and
(22:47):
there's at least three more great names. There's Glenn Youngkin,
There's Sarah Sanders Harkerby, There's there's at least three Christino Home.
There's at least three more good names. The Republican Party,
even though he understands something. The Republican Party is not
Donald Trum right. Donald Trump is a free agent. But
if these people can walk through that period of transition
and put those six people or seven people or eight people,
(23:08):
and there are more Byron Daniels, there's all kinds.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Of people that they can move into leadership.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
If they have that mindset, then then you're looking at
a wave of historic proportion for.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Our time, for all time, or at least we would
say in the next twelve to twenty years.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah. David Sanatti is the CEO of the American Policy
Round Toby. He also hosts The Public Square, which is
on the iHeartRadio app as well, or you can just
go to the Public Square dot com and he as
our senior contributor. Thanks for going overtime with us. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
All.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Right, here's what we've been looking at fires in the West.
Let's start with that containment levels have grown tremendously in
the two main fires. So we're now looking at in
the Palisades Fire, a sixty five percent containment of twenty
three thousand plus acres, in the Eton Fire, eighty nine
percent containment of fourteen thousand plus acres. So the good
(24:01):
news was the level of containment gained in southern California
in those two main fires. The bad news was some
new fires that we had to battle in the San
Diego area, and the biggest is the Lilac which is
eighty five acres at fifty percent containment, so we're keeping
an eye on that. Fires to the west. And then
really greatest memes so far of the year Houston Hobby
(24:26):
Airport covered in snow, planes scattered in different positions, and
then the tag Houston, we have a problem, the famous
Apollo thirteen quote, and that snow really extended from Houston.
New Orleans got the most we checked in with my
big brother, exceeding an eighteen ninety five Valentine's Day record
(24:47):
of over ten inches. These are areas really through Mississippi
and Alabama that are not used to snow, and they
don't have the infrastructure to deal with snow. And then,
of course the President seemingly is doing hundreds of things
in the first few moments, but he's really addressing resetting
the table and beginning the border and beginning the economy.
(25:08):
And that's what a lot of these waves of executive
orders are. And then now it's time to address a
congressional bill, first with the with the border and then
second with the economy, and sending some pretty clear messages
along the way. The DEI employees got their notice. Trump
ordered all DEI offices to go on leave. That was significant.
(25:30):
There was the big story of the of the leftist
bishop giving the president a lecture and then later interviewing
own up to the lecture, it really kind of felt
fell flat. And the only other really big story that
we're kind of following today is the Harvard University settling
the lawsuits filed by the Jewish students, and then the oh,
(25:56):
I'm going blank, the AI because that's about what five
hundred million dollars of committed dollars to kind of combine
with a government private partnership rather than just making AI
just this Pandora's box that's been opened or out of
(26:17):
control technology that's going to destroy us, but to harness
it and use it, even use it to solve cancer.
That's pretty much the news that's shaping this Tuesday. That
and the President will have his first It's I already
had a news conference on inauguration night as he's in
the Oval Office signing the executive orders with the reporters
(26:37):
and answering questions as he's doing it. But his first
sit down interview will be Sean Hannity. It's being recorded
today and it will air tonight nine Eastern, eighth Central.
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno, John Decker,
White House Correspondent's to the Final Santa Moment. First your
top stories. President Trump is ordering all federal employees in
(26:58):
DEI roles to be placed on leave. Mark Mayfield has
that story.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
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 (27:17):
I'm Mark Mayfield. President Trump's gonna sit down for his
first oval office interview of his second term. He'll do
that with Sean Hannity on Fox News nine Eastern, eighth Central.
It'll be pre taped interview. Two Republican senators are criticizing
Trump's pardon of over fifteen hundred convicted January sixth rioters.
I think you know exactly who they are, but Brian.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Shook reports Alaska's Lisa Murkowski told reporters she's disappointed in
Trump's move. Louisiana lawmaker Bill Cassidy said it's not right
people who assault police officers. If they do the crime,
they should do the time. Both senators voted to impeach
Trump during his twenty twenty one Senate impeachment trial.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I'm Brian Shuk. Trump's second inauguration drew fewer viewers than
in two twenty seventeen and former President Biden's twenty twenty
one inauguration. Tammy Trehilo has the numbers.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
According to Nielson, 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
(28:29):
ratings than the first. I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Lameric Karen Bass is taking steps to shore up burn
areas ahead of possible rain. Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
I signed an executive order to expedite debris removal slash regulations,
preventing swift rebuilding, and establishing a framework to secure additional
regulatory relief and resources.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
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,
Ainley said Taylor.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The FDA is approved to Johnson and Johnson nasal spray
Oh Not Your Sinuses to treat major depression.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
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
(29:40):
major depression aren't getting relief from symptoms, which can include
persistent sadness, insomnia, lack of energy, and suicidal ideations. I'm
Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
President Trump says that Mexico and Canada can expect a
twenty five percent tariff on imports starting February first that
raise prices for American consumers. White House correspondent John Decker's
here with that story. Good morning, John, Hey.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Good morning Michael.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
That threat coming from President Donald Trump as it relates
to products, goods coming from Mexico coming from Canada. It's
a threat that he, as you point out, would impose
by this February the first deadline. He's also spoken about
imposing an additional ten percent tariff on goods coming from China.
(30:27):
And so you asked that question, would impact consumers for
any company that is in it for profit, that's every company.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
In the world.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
The answer is yes, because they're not going to eat
those costs. They're going to pass those costs along to consumers.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
How much of this is art of the deal? Is
this the beginning of a negotiation or is this something
the president seems ready to enact.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Well, President Trump actually asked that very question yesterday.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
He demurred when he was asked if this is part
of a negotiating tactic to force Mexico and Canada to
renegotiate that multilateral trade deal involving the US, Mexico, and
Canada that was signed in Donald.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Trump's first term in the office.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
That being said, you got to figure that's part of
what Donald Trump is thinking, even though he did.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Not indicate that.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
And as you know, we saw this in the first term.
It's not a one way street. If tariffs are imposed
on those products coming into the US, you can certainly
imagine there would be retaliatory tariffs on products leaving the
US going to Mexico and Canada.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
So we've seen this with the President before and again
it's clear his goal is to lower cost of living
for Americans. This would not be one of those steps.
So makes me think it's more art of the deal,
and this isn't the done deal, but they have to
believe it's coming in order to come to the table
and negotiate. Honestly, I will say this, the President might
(31:58):
be right, Michael No. And the President made it crystal
clear about the auto workers that came up several times
in different conversations he had on inauguration Day, and you know,
just buried in the back of my mind or all
these plans. You know, China's brought this plant into Mexico
where they're going to produce these cheap electric cars, and
I'm wondering if this has more to do with that
than anybody's talking.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
About, Well, it could be, you know, and certainly there are.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
There's a big auto industry that does exist in both
Mexico and Canada, not only for cars and like trucks,
but also let's not forget for auto parts right coming
in from those places. And China trying to perhaps get
around its tariffs by moving its plan to Mexico and
then trying to import those vehicles into the US.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
You know, if it's there's an old CCR song, have
you ever seen the rain coming on a sunny day?
I lived in New Orleans and I've done that. I
have been in Sunshine and right across the street it
was raining. But the contrast of the previous presidency to
this presidency in such close proximity is almost breathtaking. As
(33:06):
a member, as a White House correspondent, as a member
of the White House crew that follows the president, this
is this is a breathtaking difference, isn't it. I mean
inauguration nighties, God, he's already yeah, what's been.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
The response in every in every aspect.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Michael, Absolutely, you should see the number of people I've
never seen before that we're at the White House. In
the press briefing room yesterday. Again, I've never seen these
people before, but they're attracted to that big, bright light
of Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
They want to be a part of that in some way.
Uh and uh yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
That's a big difference than what we saw during Joe
Biden's time in the White House.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
And glad we have you there to sort it all
out for us. John Decker, White House Correspondent, You have
a great day. We'll talk again tomorrow. We're all in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael Hill,
Joe and No
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Do
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work, but better late
(00:21):
than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this to build. This is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell John. You know, listen talk this morning.
About twenty million, little over twenty million watched the inauguration,
and we're so obsessed with all these numbers, and of
course everything's so fragmented, the days of like all in
(00:51):
the Family getting in sixty five percent of the television audience.
It makes it very difficult to discuss things in America
today because everybody is spread out and so fragmented. But
I'm often reminded of Jesus, who did most of his
spend most of his time in most of his teaching
with twelve. We take these one at a time. We're
so grateful you're spending time with us this morning. And
(01:12):
welcome to my twenty fifth wedding anniversary twenty five years ago.
Today I had no pants. My the tuxedo pants did
not arrive. We had to hold off the service about
ten minutes. I did not have pants until ten minutes
before my wedding.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Joe, and I've lost my shirt ever since. Eight minutes
after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, January the twenty second.
You have our lord twenty twenty five r. Let's get
you up to speed on a conversation we began in
the five o'clock hour. Some themes that have been coming
up throughout this inaugural week one, it seems like it
feels like it's becoming a parent more than just Donald
(01:52):
Trump one this time. That's different from the first time. Two.
More than just Kamala Harris and Joe Biden lost this time.
That's apparent. There's preceded by the death of journalism, but
there seems to be a death to woke political correctness
and DEI along with it. And we're seeing tantrums here
(02:13):
and there. You can catch one on MSNBC. You can
catch one from a couple of politicians, AOC or whomever.
And as we saw yesterday, you can see a bit
of a tantrum from a bishop at a liberal church. Tantrums.
That's one thing. Reactions, that's one thing. What we don't
(02:33):
see yet is a response. The left doesn't seem to
have a response. Moreover, if this is bigger than just
Donald Trump, what does it really mean for our time
and for all time culturally, politically, for the landscape over
a twelve year or more period of time? Is American?
I think they began read help me where they were
(02:54):
exploring that was that daily signal or no, somebody on
the I think with somebody on the left, or maybe
with CNN, But they're exploring this is America coming to
the center? Is the IMC You know, we used to
always say, hands down, the Democrat Party went so far
left and it took America to the left with it. Well,
(03:17):
then America got so far left and so far crazy right.
I ended up floating into the center. Where is America
today and what will the impact be and is it
going to have the impact of pulling America back to
the center. These kinds of deep discussions anybody can describe, well,
not anybody. A lot of people don't connect the dots
of understanding of the moment, but then to take a
(03:39):
peek at what's coming, what's forming, and speaks to what
tomorrow might look like. For these kinds of conversations, we
always turned to our senior contributor, Dave David Soonati with
the American Policy Roundtable to Public Square, you sensing the
same things.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
There's a tremendous amount of relief out there, and there's
a very strong sense of affirmation that the people have
been in this position for quite some time. They've just
been denied the ability to function by the oligarchs of
the Biden administration and the administrative state. So yeah, it's
(04:15):
more like an unveiling. But all that being said, Michael,
I'm not suggesting you're going too far at all, but
it is already old news in this regard. We work
up to this election of a president in the last year,
everyone's sort of in a position of believing that this
is a referendum on our basic, our very souls. So
(04:37):
we can press all of our issues into one little
funnel and one little race. Maybe it trickles down into
the Senate, maybe it trickles down to the House, and
this time it did significantly. But then it's over. Now
we're back to business as normal. And what do we
walk into. We walk into Chuck Schumer, and Chuck Schumer
is only symbolic of the culture that exists in the
(04:58):
United States Senate, which is that those people that club
of one hundred are smarter than all the rest of us,
and they are there to exercise their wills over the
will of the people in any election because they're smarter
than all of us. So now Schumer is giving us
the first real image of what it looks like as
(05:18):
the Democrats resist and drag. There's no reason that Trump's
nominee shouldn't all be already sitting in their offices this morning,
except Chuck Schumer and his pals. And that's not going
to change. This is just the beginning of sorrows. They
know they must stop Donald Trump's legislative agenda, and they
must stop it in the United States Senate.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And that's the next two years of fight. Let's take
it one at a time, are you other than that,
which hasn't really played out yet, probably going to play
out or the attempt is going to be But to
your point, I would say, do you think there's any
one of these nominees it's not going to be confirmed,
because I think every single one of them will be sure.
(06:02):
They'll just drag it as long as they they don't
have an audience, what do they I mean, dragging it
is one thing, but they don't have an audience cheering
it on. There's not a portion of America. They don't
have the media to fan those flames. I mean, we
even played a clip earlier where you know, you've got
CNN basically saying, oh, it's kind of refreshing to see
a president, you know, on inauguration night he's in the
(06:23):
Oval Office signing executive orders and talking about each twenty
signing with the press, you know. But but there doesn't
seem to be any real I don't see. I don't
see anything that reveals what their response is going to be,
no other than the fact that they've got that they're
watching the same clock we're watching. Every day Chuck Schumer
slows them down.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Is one less day that Donald Trump and the people
that came to Washington with him have the opportunity to
bring about the changes that they want to and that's right.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Now all they can do, all they can do is drag.
So if and I would think we would all agree
on this. The Democrat Party clear went too far in narrative,
in policy for the American people. And as you mentioned earlier,
this has been brewing long before this referendum election. You know,
men born male walking into women's bathrooms, fighting against women's
(07:16):
swimming against women. That appeared to be too far. The
anti semitism went too far, the good trouble that we
saw with Antifa and BLM went too far with the
anti cop rhetoric. So all of that too far. America
was ready to respond and the walls just came tumbling down.
They couldn't silence any opposition because they didn't control all
(07:37):
the social media. Now all the social media seems to
behind Donald Trump. They can't control the narrative because America
moved on digitally, and legacy media is somewhat dead, certainly
of ratings, revenue, and influence. So my question to you
is if in fact, the Democrat Party went far left
for a while took a portion of America with it
(07:57):
to the left went too far. America sees it doesn't work,
rejects it. That means they got to come back towards
the center.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Right, Well, no, the Democrats are not coming back to
the center. No, No, this is their island. This is
their island. Now they'll pretend they'll change, they'll morph their
rhetoric a bit, but they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There's no backup for them, because backup for them is
a change of mind. And they don't think very well.
I'm not saying they're stupid. I'm saying they don't think
very well.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
As a platform, they put culture, moral relativism, universalism, humanism
above God, and way to tribalism. So how do they
repent from that? They obviously believe in government should be
the solution to everything and control everything and knows better
than everyone. How do they retreat from that? But how
(08:58):
do they win moving forward?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Their strategy has to be to drag and drag and
drag and hope then that they can uncover the next
series of scandals that will drag down the reputation of
the people that are in power, and that they can
then raise up another celebrity or that some historic unforeseen
issue arises like COVID or something else that upsets the
(09:20):
rest of the administrative balance that paralyzes drump What.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The bishop did yesterday inappropriate, not very accurate execute of scripture.
It was certainly the least, to say the least. It
wasn't even an accurate portrayal of the geopolitical rhetoric of
the season when you're talking specifically about those who break
into the country and then rape, then murder than human traffic,
(09:47):
then rob and steal and commit crimes and bring drugs.
But it fell flat. I mean, you know, so if
you play that, is it just a matter of it's
too soon to play that card, or is this going
to be a problem for them for months to come?
Because Donald Trump has done this masterfully. This is about
(10:08):
what the American people wanted and then him delivering what
the American people wanted and needed. Your only way to
get back is to now attack the American people, not
this president. That's a tricky listen. I'm telling you. If
we put on our hats and we pretended we were
demo Democrat operatives right now, I don't know what to
tell them to do.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh even though we could list the strategies, they're desperate
strategies they're difficult. They need some serious breaks, They need
some serious breaks of history. Now that all being said,
the biggest question is credibility, and the Minister brings that
point forward false moral authority. Michael, I spent quite a
(10:51):
bit of time last night studying old dictionaries. And you think, well,
my goodness, everybody's got an old dictionary on their shelf.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You'd be surprised. Oh, they've changed like textbooks in high school.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well, you go back to eighteen twenty eight Websters first,
and then you look at the second, and you go
up through all the different editions of the Collegiate Dictionary.
I went back from nineteen sixty three toteen the nineteen
nineties to see something about what that bishop was talking about.
I wanted to see the difference between the words sex
and gender in the American dictionary. And I will tell
(11:22):
you can go back from eighteen twenty eight, the whole
way up in the nineteen nineties, and sex and gender
are synonymous.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
They're synonymous.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You look after gender, and the itight to one is
sex and what you go to sex, and that's the
difference between male and female. The second thing of gender
was always from eighteen twenty eight forward. It has to
do with grammatical interpretation of nouns and verbs and adverbs.
It's a grammatical term. This is a very recent development,
and now we have people like WebMD telling you that
(11:52):
there's a difference between the two words. I mean, the
medical community has sold out completely into this fantasy that's
got the all about the historical, credible, academic credentials of
a comic book.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I want to come back, if you'll indulge our audience.
I want to talk about what our founding fathers viewed
as self evident truth versus what we've lived the past
ten to fifteen years, because I think somewhere in this
whole common sense theme that has developed is really self
(12:32):
evident truth. And if that's true, that is something that
could be be more than just a one term thing
for America to rediscover more with our senior contributor, David
Zanati when Your Morning Show continues next.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Jno.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I was watching yesterday some leftists trying to rebel against
the president's pardon of the J six members and of
course completely ignoring the Biden partons on the way out
the door. But more importantly those during BLM and Antifa
attacking police officers and cities. I mean, it reminds me
(13:12):
of when Lacy Peterson was killed. Scott Peterson got two
murder charges for Connor, an unborn child who had a name,
and a charge that went along with it. I mean,
these are the kinds of you know, inconsistencies and hypocrisies
that are out there, really begs. Our final segment, which
is Donald Trump's kind of framed all this. He certainly
(13:32):
did within the inaugural address, and he has sense and
I think the media has picked up on this, especially
on the right, that this stuff is common sense, that
it's not a political pendulum as much as an awakening
to common sense, which Begs are founding Father's view of
self evident truth. It became self evident truth that they're
(13:57):
not plural one person. They may be having some struggles
in their mind about their gender, and we know statistically
that's a very fluid thing. They even admit it's fluid,
and they build in the fluidity. But America's kind of
taken a more self evident or common sense look at that.
America doesn't know it, but they're on the brink of
(14:19):
discovering something that's pretty critical in this experiment, self evident truth.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, and Michael, there's two ways of defining self evident truth.
They both work, they both fit together. The first is
that it's obvious, as plain as the nose on your face,
which is what human sexuality.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Used to be for people.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Pretty obvious, and biologically scientifically, it's still totally obvious in
regards to xxxy in all the follows. The second one
is that a self evident truth is in and of
itself so obvious that it doesn't need more proving because
the proof of it is contained within itself. In other words,
(15:00):
we talk about male and female, Well, the further you look,
the more the evidence there. It's just obvious. It's self evident.
The farther you look, you need no other attestation. It's
right there. And of course, the declaration of independence is
the rationale which builds the worldview and the mindset of
how we come to the conclusions about how we look
(15:20):
at each other. It's a social compact that's built upon
a set of principles and a set of precepts, and
it was something that was agreed upon and sacrificed for
and gave birth to the mindset that controlled the Constitutional Convention.
Now we're going to be celebrating all of this stuff
coming into the twenty twenty six and coming into the
(15:41):
celebration for the Declaration of Independence two hundred fiftieth anniversary.
If Trump and Doge and all of the players put
this forward with integrity and historical accuracy and honesty, we're
going to have a chance to have a history lesson
that's going to compel people to understand that we're walking
in a better world view direction.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
When we had a president you couldn't even talk. Yeah,
and you bring up Doge Vivey Ramaswami. All indications are
will be leaving Doge to go run for governor in Ohio.
He may be the one who is best able to
have that teachable moment and explain it to the American people.
But America's figured out what didn't work. They haven't connected
the dots of our intent and what has always worked.
That's still an awakening. I don't think that has happened
(16:22):
yet and is critical.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Hi there, I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is
Your Morning Show with Michael Beljorno.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hi, It's Michael, your Morning Show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like WILM and
w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia. We're gonna need
some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Thanks for bringing us along with you. I've asked David
Zanati to come into overtime. We're kind of having a
discussion about the tantrums the reactions, but we don't really
see a clear response yet from the Democrats. They may
not have one. Then I'm overhearing David and RHDD have
this conversation off the year, which is the reverse of that,
how can the Republicans reach into the jaws of victory
(17:20):
and grab defeat? And Red brought up something You brought
up something brilliant, David early on months ago. If this
is viewed in terms of twelve years and not the
next four years, that'd be the first smart step for
the Republicans. Then I heard Red say something brilliant off
the year, which is Donald Trump is going to view
(17:42):
because he already had a presidency, then he goes away
for four years, he comes back completely different for a
second first term is what it feels like, and a
second first one hundred days, and then he can view
the midterm as his reelection because it really wasn't a
wave as much as it was a Trump Orange wave.
(18:03):
And he's got to be able to combine that and
kind of the party must, you know, not absorb it,
but be changed by it. These are all keys to
how they play it. And the history has been that
you scandal, as you brought up. But the other history
is never underestimate the ability for the Republicans to blow
it at the state level in the Senate, in the House,
(18:25):
and so on, and that could be the play. I mean,
most of what we're discussing is the difficulty in getting
the presidency in the next twelve years, but there's not
huge difficulty in getting control of Senate in two years.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, and I'm looking at those Senate numbers right now, Red,
and I've been talking over the break as well. This
if this election was held today, there'd be no change
in the Senate except that the Democrats may lose the
seat in Georgia, right, I mean, it could be a
Republican plus one right now, even though the exposure of
the seats is twenty two to thirteen as far as
(18:59):
the Republicans having more exposure than the Democrats. But right now,
when you look at the actual numbers, the districts, the results,
and the candidates, and right now there's no retirements that
have been announced. But I think right at the best point,
if Trump treats that election like it is his final
term and this his last election, then that can guarantee
(19:20):
that situation.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
If they don't crack.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
The Senate and the Republicans hold the House, now everything changes.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
And you said, why don't we just got done with
an election? It was a couple of days in inauguration.
What are we doing? What are we doing? You real
that's how close to twenty twenty You don't it's here already.
So and then you brought up earlier the transferral of leadership,
and that speaks to how Donald Trump handles things, probably
not the first hundred days, but immediately after the first
(19:46):
hundred days. To set the table we presume for JD vance.
Although DeSantis is in the wings, Marco Rubio's in the wings.
Quite frankly, you could make a case maybe even somebody
like Telsea Gabbard or RFK Junior is in the wings
to pair up with JD. Vans. Explain what you mean
by that, because there has to be a seamless transition,
(20:10):
otherwise it's going to go right back to being R
versus D. And that isn't what was victorious in this
previous election.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
For momentum to continue, you don't need the interference of
primary challengers.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
That's what George W.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Bush had going for him when the open seat was
going to be available after Obama. The Republican Party united
in that regard. Now again, I'm not a Republican. I
just happened to do elections for a living, and I
can tell you that right now the first hundred days
has got to be the first fifty.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We don't have one hundred days, only have fifty.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And that's why Schumer is doing the Only thing you
can do is to try to slow down the clock.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
So these are all now.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The one thing, Michael, I do want to make sure
that I say is I personally because public policy is
the mission field that we serve in the American policronde
on the public square. I don't plan to ever ever,
let anyone I talked to who wants to know forget
that for five years we had someone running for the
presidency and in the White House who couldn't put two
(21:13):
sentences together back to back.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We were so vulnerable. It is the merciful grace of God.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Now it is that we didn't get wiped out in
that five year period.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
But there are a lot of Jews who died a
terrible death. There's a lot of Ukrainians who died a
terrible death that could have been a lot worse here
at home if passed his prologue. I want to end
on this note. This goes back to something I observed.
I've never heard anybody else say it. I don't know
that I could even prove it, but I know that
I know that I know that I'm right, and it's
(21:44):
more of a gift of discernment. I will go to
my grave believing Donald Trump wanted Marco Rubio, not JD. Vance.
I think Donald Trump Junior wanted JD.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Vance.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
And it's interesting, that's why you saw Marco Rubio get
Secretary of State, and that leaves DeSantis on the sidelines.
So now when we move forward minus Trump, Jade Vance
is in the position to be the anointed one, but
Dessandis is still on the outside. Rubio's on the inside.
How does past prologue play out with those two? I
(22:18):
don't know that there's obviously there's not room in the
ticket for both. Well, it's such a great insightful question.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I think that I know just enough about Ron DeSantis'
personal commitment and character that he's more concerned about the
country than he is about himself. And if he can
finish strong in Florida and still be of service, he
will serve wherever he has that best opportunity. I think
that's what Marco Rubio did. So you've got three, and
(22:47):
there's at least three more great names. There's Glenn Youngkin,
There's Sarah Sanders Harkerby, There's there's at least three Christino Home.
There's at least three more good names. The Republican Party,
even though he understands something. The Republican Party is not
Donald Trum right. Donald Trump is a free agent. But
if these people can walk through that period of transition
and put those six people or seven people or eight people,
(23:08):
and there are more Byron Daniels, there's all kinds.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Of people that they can move into leadership.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
If they have that mindset, then then you're looking at
a wave of historic proportion for.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Our time, for all time, or at least we would
say in the next twelve to twenty years.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah. David Sanatti is the CEO of the American Policy
Round Toby. He also hosts The Public Square, which is
on the iHeartRadio app as well, or you can just
go to the Public Square dot com and he as
our senior contributor. Thanks for going overtime with us. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
All.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Right, here's what we've been looking at fires in the West.
Let's start with that containment levels have grown tremendously in
the two main fires. So we're now looking at in
the Palisades Fire, a sixty five percent containment of twenty
three thousand plus acres, in the Eton Fire, eighty nine
percent containment of fourteen thousand plus acres. So the good
(24:01):
news was the level of containment gained in southern California
in those two main fires. The bad news was some
new fires that we had to battle in the San
Diego area, and the biggest is the Lilac which is
eighty five acres at fifty percent containment, so we're keeping
an eye on that. Fires to the west. And then
really greatest memes so far of the year Houston Hobby
(24:26):
Airport covered in snow, planes scattered in different positions, and
then the tag Houston, we have a problem, the famous
Apollo thirteen quote, and that snow really extended from Houston.
New Orleans got the most we checked in with my
big brother, exceeding an eighteen ninety five Valentine's Day record
(24:47):
of over ten inches. These are areas really through Mississippi
and Alabama that are not used to snow, and they
don't have the infrastructure to deal with snow. And then,
of course the President seemingly is doing hundreds of things
in the first few moments, but he's really addressing resetting
the table and beginning the border and beginning the economy.
(25:08):
And that's what a lot of these waves of executive
orders are. And then now it's time to address a
congressional bill, first with the with the border and then
second with the economy, and sending some pretty clear messages
along the way. The DEI employees got their notice. Trump
ordered all DEI offices to go on leave. That was significant.
(25:30):
There was the big story of the of the leftist
bishop giving the president a lecture and then later interviewing
own up to the lecture, it really kind of felt
fell flat. And the only other really big story that
we're kind of following today is the Harvard University settling
the lawsuits filed by the Jewish students, and then the oh,
(25:56):
I'm going blank, the AI because that's about what five
hundred million dollars of committed dollars to kind of combine
with a government private partnership rather than just making AI
just this Pandora's box that's been opened or out of
(26:17):
control technology that's going to destroy us, but to harness
it and use it, even use it to solve cancer.
That's pretty much the news that's shaping this Tuesday. That
and the President will have his first It's I already
had a news conference on inauguration night as he's in
the Oval Office signing the executive orders with the reporters
(26:37):
and answering questions as he's doing it. But his first
sit down interview will be Sean Hannity. It's being recorded
today and it will air tonight nine Eastern, eighth Central.
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno, John Decker,
White House Correspondent's to the Final Santa Moment. First your
top stories. President Trump is ordering all federal employees in
(26:58):
DEI roles to be placed on leave. Mark Mayfield has
that story.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
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 (27:17):
I'm Mark Mayfield. President Trump's gonna sit down for his
first oval office interview of his second term. He'll do
that with Sean Hannity on Fox News nine Eastern, eighth Central.
It'll be pre taped interview. Two Republican senators are criticizing
Trump's pardon of over fifteen hundred convicted January sixth rioters.
I think you know exactly who they are, but Brian.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Shook reports Alaska's Lisa Murkowski told reporters she's disappointed in
Trump's move. Louisiana lawmaker Bill Cassidy said it's not right
people who assault police officers. If they do the crime,
they should do the time. Both senators voted to impeach
Trump during his twenty twenty one Senate impeachment trial.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I'm Brian Shuk. Trump's second inauguration drew fewer viewers than
in two twenty seventeen and former President Biden's twenty twenty
one inauguration. Tammy Trehilo has the numbers.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
According to Nielson, 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
(28:29):
ratings than the first. I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Lameric Karen Bass is taking steps to shore up burn
areas ahead of possible rain. Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
I signed an executive order to expedite debris removal slash regulations,
preventing swift rebuilding, and establishing a framework to secure additional
regulatory relief and resources.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
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,
Ainley said Taylor.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The FDA is approved to Johnson and Johnson nasal spray
Oh Not Your Sinuses to treat major depression.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
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
(29:40):
major depression aren't getting relief from symptoms, which can include
persistent sadness, insomnia, lack of energy, and suicidal ideations. I'm
Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
President Trump says that Mexico and Canada can expect a
twenty five percent tariff on imports starting February first that
raise prices for American consumers. White House correspondent John Decker's
here with that story. Good morning, John, Hey.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Good morning Michael.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
That threat coming from President Donald Trump as it relates
to products, goods coming from Mexico coming from Canada. It's
a threat that he, as you point out, would impose
by this February the first deadline. He's also spoken about
imposing an additional ten percent tariff on goods coming from China.
(30:27):
And so you asked that question, would impact consumers for
any company that is in it for profit, that's every company.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
In the world.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
The answer is yes, because they're not going to eat
those costs. They're going to pass those costs along to consumers.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
How much of this is art of the deal? Is
this the beginning of a negotiation or is this something
the president seems ready to enact.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Well, President Trump actually asked that very question yesterday.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
He demurred when he was asked if this is part
of a negotiating tactic to force Mexico and Canada to
renegotiate that multilateral trade deal involving the US, Mexico, and
Canada that was signed in Donald.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Trump's first term in the office.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
That being said, you got to figure that's part of
what Donald Trump is thinking, even though he did.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Not indicate that.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
And as you know, we saw this in the first term.
It's not a one way street. If tariffs are imposed
on those products coming into the US, you can certainly
imagine there would be retaliatory tariffs on products leaving the
US going to Mexico and Canada.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
So we've seen this with the President before and again
it's clear his goal is to lower cost of living
for Americans. This would not be one of those steps.
So makes me think it's more art of the deal,
and this isn't the done deal, but they have to
believe it's coming in order to come to the table
and negotiate. Honestly, I will say this, the President might
(31:58):
be right, Michael No. And the President made it crystal
clear about the auto workers that came up several times
in different conversations he had on inauguration Day, and you know,
just buried in the back of my mind or all
these plans. You know, China's brought this plant into Mexico
where they're going to produce these cheap electric cars, and
I'm wondering if this has more to do with that
than anybody's talking.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
About, Well, it could be, you know, and certainly there are.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
There's a big auto industry that does exist in both
Mexico and Canada, not only for cars and like trucks,
but also let's not forget for auto parts right coming
in from those places. And China trying to perhaps get
around its tariffs by moving its plan to Mexico and
then trying to import those vehicles into the US.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
You know, if it's there's an old CCR song, have
you ever seen the rain coming on a sunny day?
I lived in New Orleans and I've done that. I
have been in Sunshine and right across the street it
was raining. But the contrast of the previous presidency to
this presidency in such close proximity is almost breathtaking. As
(33:06):
a member, as a White House correspondent, as a member
of the White House crew that follows the president, this
is this is a breathtaking difference, isn't it. I mean
inauguration nighties, God, he's already yeah, what's been.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
The response in every in every aspect.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Michael, Absolutely, you should see the number of people I've
never seen before that we're at the White House. In
the press briefing room yesterday. Again, I've never seen these
people before, but they're attracted to that big, bright light
of Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
They want to be a part of that in some way.
Uh and uh yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
That's a big difference than what we saw during Joe
Biden's time in the White House.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
And glad we have you there to sort it all
out for us. John Decker, White House Correspondent, You have
a great day. We'll talk again tomorrow. We're all in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael Hill,
Joe and No
