Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael dil Choano.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Actually, I want to go to Rory early if I can.
We're gonna talk about the truth. You hate every second
with me, don't you.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
No.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
But this reminds me of what we were talking about in
the second hour, and I guess I'll take the position
of defending Donald Trump if you know, as you were saying, basically,
FEMA just writes checks now so and they coordinate with
states and local authorities. So what do you do if
the states and local authorities aren't doing a good job

(00:34):
as serving the people or protecting them through preparation.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Another words, why are we.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Going to keep paying these big, big amount of dollars
to these different states that continue to mismanage. It'd be
easier to cut them off than pay for their mistakes
after the fact.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
But here's the bottom line. Something's coming today.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
He's not sight seeing in North Carolina, in southern California.
And he also we were talking about this with John Decker.
He did name an interim FEMA director and this this
particular individual is not a big fan of FEMA. So
I there's a plan that's about unfold today. I think
I think it's going to be what everybody's talking about

(01:14):
throughout the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I think that's a possibility.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Uh Because but to your earlier point, you know, Florida
is pretty good at responding to disasters, right, very good.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Right, so it's got a history.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
But they still get reimbursed the same way, you know,
and a lot of it is, you know, the county
has to hire contractors for to pre removal contracts and
the state is just more prepared because one side of
us is going to get hit by a hurricane every year, right,
Like it's whether it's the Tampa side or the Daytona
Beach side or the Pensacola side.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
We're all expecting something.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
And I could say for southern California they should expect fires,
right yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Absolutely, so, yeah, that's an interesting if.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
He wants no, but it take all the parties and
politics out of it. Has FEMA been successful successful at
you know, money flowing from Washington for things that are
bigger than anyone state can handle, but not necessarily with
the delivery and the execution, right, So there's ways to improve.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
What's their job? Well? Ah, now then there's the real rub.
But what is their job?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Is their job to get money to the local government
or is there money or is their job to give
you a baloney sandwich in the tent.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I get that, and obviously it's money from the federal government.
But if every state doesn't prepare the same execute as
well and flow to the county and the municipality level
the way it needs to, then FEMA needs to take
more of a charge of how they execute this before
the money is wasted or more has to be spent

(02:53):
because of their lack of play. It's a fascinating topic, though,
it really is, and.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
I don't And another big component of FEMA though is mitigation.
So they do a lot in the off season to
try to mitigate a lot of this.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's another big role they're supposed to be having. All Right,
so the president is obviously, you know. One of the
things that really astounds me is just how kind of
like a building that has been scientifically placed and imploded
to go straight down, how some of these issues that
we once fought over that we're so polarizing and so
partisan have just come in line. And I'm always fascinated

(03:26):
with the CNN guy because he goes through the research
and he was telling them dur the election that Trump
was going to win, and why they were going to lose,
and what votes they were going to elect, And now
he's shown going over the numbers.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Earlier this morning, we shared with the audience on.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
The illegal immigrants, and I am shocked to tell you
that anywhere from fifty five to sixty four percent support
deporting all illegal immigrants just coming to the country and
not going through the process, you know, deport them. When
you start talking about those that have committed crimes, it's
upwards of eighty percent. So he's got the backing of
the country. He's taking action swiftly Ice with over five

(04:01):
hundred arrests in the first few hours of his presidency
and many more to come. And now here comes the
troop deployment to the border has promised as well.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Right, fifteen hundred troops in this first wave.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
They're not going to be doing law enforcement specifically, but
they can help with other operations, also installing more border fences,
that sort of a thing. But the plan is ten
thousand additional troops and the creation of multiple ICE detention centers,
some housing one thousand people. Four sites could host ten
thousand immigrant detainees. As they ratchet up this program, but

(04:33):
you got to get Congress to show up to approve
the spending here, all.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Right, and then coming up on the weekend show.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
We're going to talk about that whole mean token business,
like is Donald Trump? Are the Trump suddenly worth fifty
sixty billion dollars because of those meme tokens?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Trying to break it down and explain what's happening there,
Rory have a great way.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Are you going to make a pick on the AFCNFC
championship games?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I'm Bills all the way. Well, if not now, when, yeah,
I would? I mean, I think everybody's kind.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Of dreading the obvious. Right Another Eagles Chiefs super Bowl.
I don't think anybody really wants that. Maybe the NFL does.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I think the.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Commanders are really good, and I think this quarterback is
not your average rookie quarterback. I like the Commanders to
win in Philadelphia. I don't know if I like the Bills,
but oh my gosh, just once, can't they win one
against Kansas City that really matters?

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I hope this is the weekend.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'm a little less less secure on the on the
Bills that you can see have a great weekend, and
I why am I blank on the on the weekend
show name.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
The Weekend you can die, na right half the name right, yeah, yeah,

a very good show. All right, Rory, have a great weekend.
