Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because where in this together?
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
John seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Monday, January,
the twenty seventh year of Our Lord twenty twenty five
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Joronaal. Jeffrey
Lyons has sound red there keeping an eye on the
content and of course can't have your morning show without
your voice. Let's start with a Mary retread, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
This is Nary from Boise, Idaho. I just think this
is the most exciting part of the football season where
we get to see the Egglasses play the chefs, and
I think we need to hear a big John book
in our this one. Have a great day, your morning show,
Family Book.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Give her the book it. Yes. Unfortunately, we have the
Eagles and the Chiefs in a rematch of the Super
Bowl two years ago. I remember the meme about four
months ago had said what everybody wants and had Lions
and bills. What we're probably going to get again Eagles
and Chiefs. And boy did we pretty decisive win for
(01:23):
the Eagles Chiefs. I mean we did the stats earlier.
In the first hour. Every stat was almost identical, everything
except the final score on the scoreboard. So fifty ninth
Super Bowl will be the Eagles and the Chiefs from
the super Dome in New Orleans. Next up is Kate
f Y in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Hey, just a quick comment on that worthless rhinal. Mitch McConnell.
He voted against Pete had said, and he's going to
be a problem with Gabbert Patel and Kennedy as well.
Why because he hates Trump more than he loves country.
He's just going to be petty and vindictive and he
(02:02):
can't go away fast enough.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, to quote the movie Bombshell once again, he's kind
of establishment with a capital E.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
And our final I actually think OURFK Junior is going
to be the hardest one to get confirmed.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Too many people think he's too radical, not too radical.
He would get to the bottom of COVID for one,
that's what they really fear, that's what took one point
two million American lives. That's the greatest hoax perpetrated by
a government on its people in history. And he would
get to the bottom of that. I got news for
(02:40):
the Donald Trump get to the bottom of that, with
or without our FK Junior. I still think Hegsath was
the toughest to get through, and it took a JD.
Van's tiebreaker to do it. I don't think OURFK is
going to be a problem. I don't think Telsea Gabbard
is going to be a problem. I don't think Cash
Bettel is going to be a problem. With the all
(03:00):
up this week, all right, we were teasing you all
morning long about the Overton window. What is the Overton window? Oh?
Trust me, you've had that installed. You've got them wide open.
You're enjoying the breeze. But it is worthy of a
conversation and a teachable moment. Chris Walker is joining US
republican consultant, an analyst, and a Your Morning Show regular contributor.
(03:21):
All right, let's get it all out in the open.
What is the Overton window, because I think they may
not know it by name, but they're certainly seeing it
in the news.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
The Overton window is the NFL refs community giving kat
Kansas City a free passantly in football games.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
That's another Overton window. Yeah, that would be the Overland
Park window. Yeah, sorry, good morning.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
No, you know, it's it's it's it is the change
over time of acceptance of political issues. And what we've
seen in just the first week of President Trump's second
term or second first term, is is a real shift
in like the political dynamics of the country in a
real way.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I mean, looking.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
At his inauguration last week and looking at kind of
the main issues that are happening, a real real alignment.
I mean, goodness, we've seen Bill Maher interviewing Matt Cats
and we're seeing you know, tech titans who were kind
of at the vanguard of of of censorship and and
(04:26):
and silencing opposition to being you know, at the President's inauguration,
and and and being at the forefront of elimiting DEI
and and and contributing to like a great American reawakening.
You know, all of this is kind of happening very quickly,
but it's it's changing rightward and equipment and just in
(04:47):
the most healthy and and and exciting way. And uh,
you know, it's fun to be a part of it.
But it can happen so quickly, but it also can
happen so slowly that it's sometimes hard to see.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, if you google overgin Whin, you'll see this sliding scale,
And I think I love the way the scale does it.
So it starts with unthinkable, then it goes to radical,
then it goes to acceptable, then it goes to sensible,
and then it goes to popular, and then it goes
to policy. But the window never stops opening and shutting,
(05:20):
and then from popular it goes to sensible to acceptable
to radical to unthinkable. So it just kind of goes
in cycles. But for those that are trying to figure out,
Chris what happened, I mean, it just seems like moments ago,
if you questioned a vaccine, there was something wrong with you.
If if you were to question or even suggest that
(05:40):
there's only two genders, there would be something wrong with you.
If you would suggest that the borders be secure and
that people who break the law, beyond breaking the law
of entering illegally, they should be deported. All those things
were unthinkable that you would choose Israel over Palestine. It's
like nobody knows how to put their arms around us.
(06:01):
We didn't just get a new president, We've got a
whole new world worldviews the board.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
I mean, you know, Javea and Melite was probably the
the Canary and the.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
Coal mine and that idea of like the global power.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I mean, Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum last week.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Was just such a wonderful moment of here.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
For the last twenty five years, the World Economic Forum
is this place where the global elite get together and.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
In chart policy.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
And Trump comes in and basically just you know, breaks
it breaks their entire world TOEW and it starts calling
out CEOs by name, to the what Bank of America
has to say, oh, no, we do accept conservatives. I mean,
it's just such a tremendous shift.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
But here comes, here comes the toughest Here comes the
toughest question for you. Yeah, could the Overton window have
been shifted without Donald Trump? Could the Republicans have shifted
it on its own? That's why I always say this
is not a republic victory, it's a Trump victory. In
other words, there was a time Donald Trump was unthinkable.
This guy can't win. Then he was radical and ultimately
(07:08):
became the boogeyman and the devil himself. Then suddenly he
gets the nomination. Suddenly he wins the election, first against Joe,
then against Kamala, and then he becomes acceptable. Then in
his transition, he becomes sensible. Where is he right now?
Is he sensible? Popular? I would say he's popular now
and policy is next. But where do you think we
(07:30):
are on this overton window?
Speaker 9 (07:33):
Let me let me ask your first question.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
First?
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Does Trump? Could the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Do without Trump?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
No? You know, simply no. I mean because look, I
mean look, I'm.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
A veteran of multiple you know, Republican campaigns administrations, and
nothing like this has ever happened before because everyone played
it safe, and everyone played it by traditional means, and
everyone didn't come in rethinking alliances and saying we're going
to build a wall and just you know, just completely
changing the discussion. It took Trump to do that. It
(08:04):
took the boldness and vision of Trump to do that.
And you know, someone like me was like, was skeptical
for a while, but now you're seeing the real results
of conservative policy happening in a week, and it's it's
breathtakingly wonderful to watch.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
And so, you know, no, I don't.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Think it could have happened because we've had decades to
try to tilt it back from the left and it
hadn't worked.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
And here within a week.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
We're seeing, you know, true governance where you know, there's
bills being considered of abolishing the income tax. This is
something I've wanted for twenty five years, and here we
are with the potential to do it because of Trump.
So I think the answer that question is simple, Now
where are we on the Overton window now? I'm I
would say, you know, I would liken it to a
(08:49):
little bit. You know, everyone kind of talks about the
pendentum swinging.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
I would say that we're.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Kind of instituting a pretty right word shift in the
pendulum right now. I think there will be a put
back from the left. They have their ideals not going away.
They have a lot of institutions that are that are broken.
They've broken many many institutions, and I think that's part
of the reason why we're seeing such a shift, but
I would say we're kind of in the beginning phases
(09:13):
of this shift now, and it's it's remarkable because it's
been so leftward and so.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
You know, just.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Status quo of that being leftward for so long that
even like the smallest shift is looked at as a
massive earthquake.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So you got the Dei Purge, you got the Dea Bus,
you got the deportations, the big Colombian cave. Eight thousand
former troops who were discharged for refusing the vacs reinstated
with back pay. I mean, there was a time where
we said, how let's be realistic about what Donald Trump
can get done in these first one hundred days to
(09:52):
a year, and it's probably the border in the economy,
and that's it. Now I'm beginning to think will he
be done after one hundred days? It is a remarkable
pendulum swing. Chris Walker is All Things Republican consultant analysts
joining us. All right, let's take a look at who
the Democrats think. And again this is coming from the
(10:13):
Washington Post. And we know that the Washington Post and
the Atlantic and the Associated Press, these are the people
that kind of feed the narratives to all the foot soldiers,
to the cabal members, and to the intelligency at the university.
So we take this much differently than if it just
had been some random source. So they're already trying to
(10:33):
sell their top twelve names. They've got a bunch of
stinkers in here on purpose. They're just the stewfish, or
you know, they're just there to make you think these
other two top two look good. But here's their list.
They got Tim Walls in there at number twelve as
a potential candidate for twenty twenty eight. I can't. I mean,
(10:54):
only Kamala Harris and Tim Walls could be the worst
of the worst. Annie Brish here, I think as a
running mate is a legitimate name. I think Gavin Newsom
is done Fetterman seriously, as we said, a guy in
a hoodie and sweatpants coming out of Marine one. I
don't think America's got the vision. Kamala has done, Mary
Pete's done, Gretchen Whitmer as a running mate, Josh Shapiro
(11:16):
top or bottom of the ticket, and the one they
have at seventh is the one they really plan to
sell you, which, by the way, my wife was the
Buffalo bills of the Miss Oklahoma pageant. She was a
runner up four years in a row. Clearly the pageant
wasn't going to allow somebody dating a conservative talk show
host to win. My win. She got Missus del Jornal
(11:37):
much better title. But my wife will tell you when
they're putting the top five together, always beware of the
one they put in the middle. That's the one the
judges planned to give the crown to. Wes Moore is
right in the middle at number seven. But in all
of this, Chris and I think I'm going to be
right about Wes Moore, or they're going to hold him
(11:59):
for more years, depending on how things look. He is
eventually their next Barack Obama. But these are all names,
these are all personalities. They don't have anything in terms
of worldview, policy view, or platform, do they They don't.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
And we have a long way to go, you know,
from all of that, obviously, I mean, we have a
midterm to really kind of solidify.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Or do we have two years of a President.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Trump, you know, the good in the winning that we're seeing,
or do we see the Democrats kind of come back
and they're going to bring back everything they can't do it.
Let's not forget they have an entire corrupt system behind
them trying that will vociferously push back.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
However, what what Facebook? What well?
Speaker 8 (12:44):
The bureaucracy, I mean, obviously they're trying to root that out.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But the court system, I mean, there's.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Hundreds of of of levers and those U kind of errors.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
I mean, you know there there's a lot of stuff
that can happen.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
But ultimately, I think we're going to see, you know,
how does Jadie Bance handle all this stuff? And and
and how does that how does the continuation of Trump isn't,
as you say, so well kind of manifest in someone else,
and how it's Republican party kind of kind of shift.
So it's way too early, kind of for me to
(13:14):
kind of want even think about that, but I think
you know, you're right, Wes Moore is certainly their their
number one draft pick, so to say, and a mediacs.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
To all this stuff that's going to Yeah, and.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
He's been pretty quiet right now to.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Make it look to take out the rest of there,
to make him look even better, and is the only
sensible choice. I'm gonna go full circle. We're down to
thirty seconds and I want you to answer this final question,
and that is, now that we all know what the
Overton window is, can that Overton window window close and
reopen and shift in the next four years that quickly?
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Absolutely, It's it's why we need to be aware of
it and be cognitive of it. And it has been
a left leaning left sprinting over the last four years window,
and you.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Know, thank goodness, we're in a position.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Where it's shifting right. Word again, thank you to Elon
and to Trump and others. And it's something that we
need to take very seriously carefully because it's it's the
future for our country at stake, and it's something that's
so important to how we how we continue to grow
and flourish.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm more of a street guy, but I liked our
classroom session on the Overton window. Chris Walker, all Things Republican.
Thanks for joining us. We will talk next Monday or
sooner if conditions warrant. You have a great week and
be blessed, my friend.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You brother, it's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
The White House they called the Columbian Fould. We don't
wand any of those criminals back here, Okay, I'm gonna
raise your tariffs. What tidman? Can I pick them up?
They caved in a hurry to the President trump threat
of tariffs. Mark Mayfield has the story.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
In a statement to the White House and that the
country had agreed to Trump's terms, including the unrestricted acceptance
of all illegal innglians from Columbia returned from the United States.
The statement also said the drafted actions on tariffs and
sanctions would be held in reserve and not signed unless
Columbia fails to honor this agreement. Trump is threatening retaliatory
measures after Columbia denied entry to a pair of US
(15:09):
military deportation plights of flights at all two C seventeen
aircraft which we're carrying about eighty Columbian migrants each from California.
In response, Trump announced on truth Social Sunday sweeping measures,
including tariffs on Columbian imports, visa sanctions on government officials,
and increased customs inspections and financial penalties on Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Vice President JD. Van says lower prices are coming, but
Americans might have to wait a bit.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
Dance told CBS has Space the Nation that the Trump
administration has already implemented measures aimed at reversing inflation.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Prices are going to come down, but it's going to
take a little bit of time.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Right that the president has been president for all of five.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
Days, Dan sin Sisti administration is working to increase the
number of American jobs and improve domestic energy production, both
of which he says will eventually cause the cost of
living to decrease.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I'm Tammy trheo Eagles fifty five to twenty three over
the Command Sequon Bark, one hundred and eighteen yards and three touchdowns.
There's your MVP of the NFC Championship and Chiefs outlast
the Bills thirty two to twenty nine. Yes, you get
your rematch Chiefs and Eagles Super Bowl fifty nine in
New Orleans in two weeks. Brett and Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
And my morning show is your Morning show with Michael
del Jorno.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Your morning show can be heard 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.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'm Michael del Jorno. It's like deja vu all over again.
As Jogi Barrow would say, here come the Eagles and
the Chiefs again. In Super Bowl fifty nine. White now says,
this is one of the greatest I use the analogy
of poker and the guy's got a crimey hands to
the just they peak and split second and they flip
(17:03):
them in into the middle. This this will be now
called the Colombian fold. So here's the Colombian president saying
he's gonna block the two US military flights carrying the
migrants back, and by the way, while you're at it,
establish better protocols in how you treat migrants. Donald Trump
(17:26):
then informs them of a new tariff and then some
if they don't cooperate. Suddenly I've been doing this. I
think people are taking it as a joke. I'd pick
them up myself, but it is blocked. Yeah, new sheriff
in town. By the time it's over, the Colombian president
(17:48):
is like, uh, you know, I could send my presidential
blane to pick them up. Wow, what a difference in
the you know, I do Ricardo month a month though
the plain, well, I make them glassy. Who'sta Petro? What
an amazing There is definitely a difference in this presidency
(18:11):
and America's watching and getting it. So, the White House
says the Columbian government has agreed to President Trump's terms
after he threatens tariffs, they cave. The Trump administration has
launched a social media thread showcasing the worst criminals arrested
by Ice since Trump's swearing in. And let me tell
you something, this is going to be a very effective
website because this is how the news is. Every day
(18:34):
We've been talking about this dea bust in Colorado. Now
it happens this fast because you knew they were there
all along. I mean, you can't help. But every time
one of these stories comes out, seeing both sides of it,
oh good job drug Enforcement administration raid and Colorado results
(18:56):
and sees drugs, weapons, apprehending international gang members. Why wasn't
this done when Biden was president. It's like what we
talked about with the bipartisan notions when it comes to COVID. Seriously,
both sides of the aisle aren't interested in what killed
one point two million Americans? Are you serious? This website
(19:22):
will make sure you connect the dots. Obviously, the DEA
knew where these people were in Colorado, knew what they
were selling, knew the weapons they had, knew they were
international gang members, and was doing nothing. And it shouldn't
(19:47):
take a change of presidency to have law and order
and enforcement. Big headline today Wall Street Journal, CIA now
favors lab league theory on the origins of COVID nineteen.
Remember a question of the day is why went both sides,
(20:09):
both partisan political parties want to know who killed one
point two million Americans over seven million people worldwide, or
why doctor Fauci needed and accepted a pardon as Joe
Biden was on his way to the helicopter. Well, the
(20:31):
CIA joins the FBI and now concluding that the deadly
COVID nineteen pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory league,
lending credibility to a view that has been the focus
of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years. I
Wentz worked for a company that made a lot of
(20:52):
threats about how I talked about COVID, and even then
I was playing this video. So I want to answer
that question of why Fauci might need a pardon and
the drip drip drip of now the CIA joining the FBI,
or the investigation to come, an investigation that might even
be led by RFKA Junior. If you wonder why some
(21:14):
people might oppose him, a former Democrat presidential candidate on
a Republican cabinet, I mean, I want to get both
from vot votes from both sides, right wrong, Not if
he's going to get to big pharma, not if he's
going to get to the big food supply, not if
he's going to get to the bottom of COVID. We
played this in real time when it was happening, so
(21:37):
while everybody was debating what are the origins of COVID?
Where the origin of code? What do we think of
the theory is? And yet here's this video right on
the Milken Institute website. This is the edited version that
was kind of like on Twitter, but you can watch
it in long form. If you do the the Snopes
on this, it'll tell you, well, the editing can be misleading.
(22:00):
It's not necessarily Fauci's saying he would do this, No,
it's the other scientist. They're having a discussion all these
scientists in a panel at the Milkin Institute, and Fauci
lays out how well, if we want to get to
mRNA technology, it's going to take years and years and
(22:20):
millions and millions of dollars and there's just no getting
around all the testing. And then another scientist has an idea,
what if there was an emergency? I think I'm kidding.
Here's the edited version, but this is pretty much them talking.
And I might add this is them talking.
Speaker 13 (22:39):
I mean obviously.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Weeks like three weeks before the Wuhan leak.
Speaker 14 (22:46):
Listen, we can't just turn off the spigot on the
system we have and then say, hey, everyone in the
world should get this new vaccine. We've been given to
anyone yet. But there must be some way that we
grow vaccine mostly an eggs the way we did in
nineteen forty seven, in.
Speaker 15 (23:03):
Order to make the transition from getting out of the
tried and true egg growing, which we know gives us
results that can be beneficial.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, but it takes time, it takes money, it takes testing,
you know, to remove liability. You wouldn't want that, right vouch.
Speaker 15 (23:24):
We've done well with that to something that has to
be much better. You have to prove that this works
and then you've got to go through all of the
clinical trials phase ones, phase two, phase three, and then
show that this particular product is going to be good
over a period of years. That alone, if it works perfectly,
(23:47):
is going to take a decade.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
There might be a need or even an urgent call
for an entity of excitement out there that's a completely
disruptive that's not.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
A disruptive entity excitement, you know, like grip the world
in fear you're all going to die unless we give
you this new, untested technology that can make a handful
of us rich and spare us the long decade and
trials and millions.
Speaker 16 (24:19):
Behold into bureaucratic strings and processes.
Speaker 15 (24:23):
So we really do have a problem of how the
world perceives influenza, and it's going to be very difficult
to change that unless you do it from within and say,
I don't care what your perception is.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
We're going to.
Speaker 15 (24:38):
Address the problem in a disruptive way and in an
iterative way, because you do need both.
Speaker 16 (24:43):
But it is not too crazy to think that an
outbreak of a novel Aviian virus could occur in China somewhere.
We could get the RNA sequence from that beam it
to a number of regional centers, if not local, if
not even in near home at some point and prints
those vaccines on a patch of self administer.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Now, is he talking about an example of how mRNA
would be a wonderful solution that we don't want to
wait a decade for. We don't want to go through trials,
we don't want to spend all the money to get approved.
Is he a profit or did he just expose a
(25:27):
plan they carried out three weeks later. Well, we're getting
a lot more investigations in time. But the CIA has
now joined the FBI and the Energy Department and identifying
a laboratory mishap in the Wuhan, China laboratories, you know,
(25:47):
the China virus that Donald Trump was made fun of
for saying for years, you may have had your job
threatened for years. Drip, drip, drip. Speaking of drip, and
it's not a very big drip. I mean it's only
four hundred and twenty million dollars, which is a drop
(26:07):
in the bucket compared to thirty six trillion of debt,
But it's a start. President Trump's executive order terminating all
federal Diversity Equity and inclusion programs has already sidelined. Three
hundred and ninety five government bureaucrats now dooze getting ready
(26:27):
to start. Headed up by Elon Musk wrote on next
Friday that approximately four hundred and twenty million dollars in
current or impending contracts, mainly focused on DEI initiatives, have
been canceled. That's a start, and as we mentioned numerous
times today, over eight thousand troops who were all discharged
(26:53):
from the military for refusing to take a vaccine have
been reinstated with back pay. All of these have in
common kept promises. Donald Trump through the Overton window with
executive orders, with threats of tariffs, and with sensible, reasonable
(27:16):
common sense as hit the ground running like no other
president in our lifetime or maybe any time.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chona.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The reuniting of some of these released Israeli hostages with
family members that never gets old watching. Meanwhile, at home,
President Trump's borders are is promising that immigration raids against
suspected illegal immigrants will expand.
Speaker 11 (27:47):
I'm Home Untold ABC's this week that ice raids will
soon go beyond illegal immigrants convicted of crimes have you country.
Speaker 13 (27:54):
Legally you're on the table because it's not okay to
you know, by lay Losses country. You got to remember
every time you're at this country, legally you violated a
crime on the title. Ignited States, called thirteen twenty five
minutes a.
Speaker 11 (28:05):
Crime home, and insisted the agency needs more funding from
Congress in order to fulfill its mission. He also confirmed
that immigration authorities will not hesitate to raid schools, churches,
and hospitals, locations that agents weren't allowed to enter under
the Biden administration. I'm Tammy trheo.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
President Trump is defending the late night purge of seventeen
inspector generals. Scott Carr has more from Washington.
Speaker 17 (28:27):
The federal inspectors general are independent government figures charged with
rooting out fraud, waste, and violations within their own agencies.
White House officials confirm over a dozen of them were
fired Friday night because they don't align with the new
Trump administration, calling the move a very common thing to do.
Trump defended their removal while speaking with reporters Saturday. Some
(28:49):
officials claim the firings violate federal law, which requires the
president to give both Houses of Congress cause for dismissal
and thirty days advanced notice.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I'm Scott are in Washington. Why now? Why not? Two
weeks ago, two months ago, two years ago? When did
law and order become a partisan issue? A drug enforcement
administration rate in Colorado resulted and seized drugs, weapons, apprehended
international gang members. Why now? Lisa Carton has details.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
The DEA says its local division operated a raid on
a drug trafficking ring that involved members of the Venezuelan
gang trend to Aragua. Ice agents and the Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco,
firearms and explosives were also on scene. The DEAs said
about fifty undocumented immigrants were taken into custody.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm Lisa Carton. Well, it may be Monday, but it
could be the best Monday ever. It's National Chocolate Cake Day.
Speaker 18 (29:45):
It may be hard to believe, but chocolate cake is
a relatively new creation. It came about by accident when
a chocolate maker and a doctor tried to make chocolate
by grinding cocoa beans. The first chocolate cake recipe was
actually printed in eighteen forty seven. The venient box cake
mixes we know today came about one hundred years later,
so seventy eight years of easy, chocolatey goodness on a
(30:07):
cake plate. And there's only one way to celebrate, Grab
a cake, grab a fork, and eight I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
All right, Roy O'Neill is joining us, Rory. Just as
we were getting ready to have this conversation, I'm watching
I don't have the sound up, but Fox is up
on a television in the studio. I can't get enough
seeing these released hossages reuniting with their family. Give us
the very latest time where we stand in the hostage situation.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Yeah, we saw four female Israeli soldiers released over the weekend.
In exchange, Israel released two hundred Palestinian prisoners. More than
half of them had been sentenced to life sentences. So
a significant disparity there, But not the first time and
probably not the last time we've seen that. And we
are expecting more hostage releases in the week ahead, perhaps
(30:52):
six more, three by midweek and then three again this weekend.
We might also see the return of a North care
align A native as part of the next hostage release.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I was just going to say, what about Americans coming
home and how many do we think are still alive?
The same could be said for the Israeli hostages, how
many do we think of? I mean, we're seeing them
the numbers, because if you've got four females and it
had cost you two hundred Palestinian prisoners, I mean I
(31:24):
can do the quick math and that's like fifty to one,
which has been a little bit under what you have
to give to get a female hostage back. But so
how many more can we expect? And then before we
probably exhausted, what hostages are alive? Do we have any
kind of read on that yet?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Well, we think there are still seven hostages American hostages
being held by Hamas, so this could be the release
of one. We don't know the health status or whether
or not they're dead or alive, on so many others,
and all this information tends to be a little bit
wobbily until it's actually time for a release to happen.
So these are some of the best guesses that we have.
(32:02):
We also have not yet seen them turn over any
remains of those who have been killed or died while
in custody. I think that's something else we're anxious to see,
because you know, once the body comes back, there may
be an autopsy, perhaps get an understanding as to how
that person died. That could really be something that causes
this whole temporary cease fire to fall apart.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Do we have any idea of what the Trump administration
is feeling about how slow US hostages are coming or
are they just kind of letting it play out because
they don't want to interfere as Russia negotiates a conclusion here.
I mean, at what point does Donald Trump step in
and say, I said, release my US hosages are all
Hell's going to break loose and we're just now getting
(32:43):
to one out of seven.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Well, I think it's just part of a process, right,
I mean, this is to get us to phase two
of this deal. In the three phase deal, we might
see a lot more of these hostages released as part
of the six week phase one, and I think it
might be you know, let's wait and see what happens
at the end of that first six week period. Of course,
Donald Trump's envoy has been part of these negotiations four weeks,
(33:06):
if not months now, and has been in the room
where these talks have been happening, so it's fully tuned
in as to as to these current situations.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
And then we also saw there's the sad fact that
you know, hell to pay.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Well, there's not much left of Gaza, so you know,
you could say they're already paying it.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Amas freeze four female Israeli soldiers in exchange for two
hundred Palestinian prisoners, and then also we get word that
the cease fire may be extended. That would suggest that
Israel and Hamas are both still liking the process in
the way it's going towards space two.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Right, that's the idea that even if this doesn't really happen,
you know, we don't get that broader piece deal, that
they're both at the table talking is seen as a
positive outcome.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Great reporting today, as always, Rory O'Neil will talk again tomorrow.
It's fifty eight minutes after the hour. Listen. Tomorrow, we're
going to have our first visit with James Carafano. I
think of the year, he's done so much travel. The
Lieutenant Colonel will join us and we'll talk more about
how things are going with these exchanges as well.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael ndheld Joano
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because where in this together?
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
John seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Monday, January,
the twenty seventh year of Our Lord twenty twenty five
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Joronaal. Jeffrey
Lyons has sound red there keeping an eye on the
content and of course can't have your morning show without
your voice. Let's start with a Mary retread, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
This is Nary from Boise, Idaho. I just think this
is the most exciting part of the football season where
we get to see the Egglasses play the chefs, and
I think we need to hear a big John book
in our this one. Have a great day, your morning show,
Family Book.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Give her the book it. Yes. Unfortunately, we have the
Eagles and the Chiefs in a rematch of the Super
Bowl two years ago. I remember the meme about four
months ago had said what everybody wants and had Lions
and bills. What we're probably going to get again Eagles
and Chiefs. And boy did we pretty decisive win for
(01:23):
the Eagles Chiefs. I mean we did the stats earlier.
In the first hour. Every stat was almost identical, everything
except the final score on the scoreboard. So fifty ninth
Super Bowl will be the Eagles and the Chiefs from
the super Dome in New Orleans. Next up is Kate
f Y in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Hey, just a quick comment on that worthless rhinal. Mitch McConnell.
He voted against Pete had said, and he's going to
be a problem with Gabbert Patel and Kennedy as well.
Why because he hates Trump more than he loves country.
He's just going to be petty and vindictive and he
(02:02):
can't go away fast enough.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, to quote the movie Bombshell once again, he's kind
of establishment with a capital E.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
And our final I actually think OURFK Junior is going
to be the hardest one to get confirmed.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Too many people think he's too radical, not too radical.
He would get to the bottom of COVID for one,
that's what they really fear, that's what took one point
two million American lives. That's the greatest hoax perpetrated by
a government on its people in history. And he would
get to the bottom of that. I got news for
(02:40):
the Donald Trump get to the bottom of that, with
or without our FK Junior. I still think Hegsath was
the toughest to get through, and it took a JD.
Van's tiebreaker to do it. I don't think OURFK is
going to be a problem. I don't think Telsea Gabbard
is going to be a problem. I don't think Cash
Bettel is going to be a problem. With the all
(03:00):
up this week, all right, we were teasing you all
morning long about the Overton window. What is the Overton window? Oh?
Trust me, you've had that installed. You've got them wide open.
You're enjoying the breeze. But it is worthy of a
conversation and a teachable moment. Chris Walker is joining US
republican consultant, an analyst, and a Your Morning Show regular contributor.
(03:21):
All right, let's get it all out in the open.
What is the Overton window, because I think they may
not know it by name, but they're certainly seeing it
in the news.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
The Overton window is the NFL refs community giving kat
Kansas City a free passantly in football games.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
That's another Overton window. Yeah, that would be the Overland
Park window. Yeah, sorry, good morning.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
No, you know, it's it's it's it is the change
over time of acceptance of political issues. And what we've
seen in just the first week of President Trump's second
term or second first term, is is a real shift
in like the political dynamics of the country in a
real way.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I mean, looking.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
At his inauguration last week and looking at kind of
the main issues that are happening, a real real alignment.
I mean, goodness, we've seen Bill Maher interviewing Matt Cats
and we're seeing you know, tech titans who were kind
of at the vanguard of of of censorship and and
(04:26):
and silencing opposition to being you know, at the President's inauguration,
and and and being at the forefront of elimiting DEI
and and and contributing to like a great American reawakening.
You know, all of this is kind of happening very quickly,
but it's it's changing rightward and equipment and just in
(04:47):
the most healthy and and and exciting way. And uh,
you know, it's fun to be a part of it.
But it can happen so quickly, but it also can
happen so slowly that it's sometimes hard to see.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, if you google overgin Whin, you'll see this sliding scale,
And I think I love the way the scale does it.
So it starts with unthinkable, then it goes to radical,
then it goes to acceptable, then it goes to sensible,
and then it goes to popular, and then it goes
to policy. But the window never stops opening and shutting,
(05:20):
and then from popular it goes to sensible to acceptable
to radical to unthinkable. So it just kind of goes
in cycles. But for those that are trying to figure out,
Chris what happened, I mean, it just seems like moments ago,
if you questioned a vaccine, there was something wrong with you.
If if you were to question or even suggest that
(05:40):
there's only two genders, there would be something wrong with you.
If you would suggest that the borders be secure and
that people who break the law, beyond breaking the law
of entering illegally, they should be deported. All those things
were unthinkable that you would choose Israel over Palestine. It's
like nobody knows how to put their arms around us.
(06:01):
We didn't just get a new president, We've got a
whole new world worldviews the board.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
I mean, you know, Javea and Melite was probably the
the Canary and the.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
Coal mine and that idea of like the global power.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I mean, Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum last week.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Was just such a wonderful moment of here.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
For the last twenty five years, the World Economic Forum
is this place where the global elite get together and.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
In chart policy.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
And Trump comes in and basically just you know, breaks
it breaks their entire world TOEW and it starts calling
out CEOs by name, to the what Bank of America
has to say, oh, no, we do accept conservatives. I mean,
it's just such a tremendous shift.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
But here comes, here comes the toughest Here comes the
toughest question for you. Yeah, could the Overton window have
been shifted without Donald Trump? Could the Republicans have shifted
it on its own? That's why I always say this
is not a republic victory, it's a Trump victory. In
other words, there was a time Donald Trump was unthinkable.
This guy can't win. Then he was radical and ultimately
(07:08):
became the boogeyman and the devil himself. Then suddenly he
gets the nomination. Suddenly he wins the election, first against Joe,
then against Kamala, and then he becomes acceptable. Then in
his transition, he becomes sensible. Where is he right now?
Is he sensible? Popular? I would say he's popular now
and policy is next. But where do you think we
(07:30):
are on this overton window?
Speaker 9 (07:33):
Let me let me ask your first question.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
First?
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Does Trump? Could the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Do without Trump?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
No? You know, simply no. I mean because look, I
mean look, I'm.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
A veteran of multiple you know, Republican campaigns administrations, and
nothing like this has ever happened before because everyone played
it safe, and everyone played it by traditional means, and
everyone didn't come in rethinking alliances and saying we're going
to build a wall and just you know, just completely
changing the discussion. It took Trump to do that. It
(08:04):
took the boldness and vision of Trump to do that.
And you know, someone like me was like, was skeptical
for a while, but now you're seeing the real results
of conservative policy happening in a week, and it's it's
breathtakingly wonderful to watch.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
And so, you know, no, I don't.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Think it could have happened because we've had decades to
try to tilt it back from the left and it
hadn't worked.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
And here within a week.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
We're seeing, you know, true governance where you know, there's
bills being considered of abolishing the income tax. This is
something I've wanted for twenty five years, and here we
are with the potential to do it because of Trump.
So I think the answer that question is simple, Now
where are we on the Overton window now? I'm I
would say, you know, I would liken it to a
(08:49):
little bit. You know, everyone kind of talks about the
pendentum swinging.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
I would say that we're.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Kind of instituting a pretty right word shift in the
pendulum right now. I think there will be a put
back from the left. They have their ideals not going away.
They have a lot of institutions that are that are broken.
They've broken many many institutions, and I think that's part
of the reason why we're seeing such a shift, but
I would say we're kind of in the beginning phases
(09:13):
of this shift now, and it's it's remarkable because it's
been so leftward and so.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
You know, just.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Status quo of that being leftward for so long that
even like the smallest shift is looked at as a
massive earthquake.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So you got the Dei Purge, you got the Dea Bus,
you got the deportations, the big Colombian cave. Eight thousand
former troops who were discharged for refusing the vacs reinstated
with back pay. I mean, there was a time where
we said, how let's be realistic about what Donald Trump
can get done in these first one hundred days to
(09:52):
a year, and it's probably the border in the economy,
and that's it. Now I'm beginning to think will he
be done after one hundred days? It is a remarkable
pendulum swing. Chris Walker is All Things Republican consultant analysts
joining us. All right, let's take a look at who
the Democrats think. And again this is coming from the
(10:13):
Washington Post. And we know that the Washington Post and
the Atlantic and the Associated Press, these are the people
that kind of feed the narratives to all the foot soldiers,
to the cabal members, and to the intelligency at the university.
So we take this much differently than if it just
had been some random source. So they're already trying to
(10:33):
sell their top twelve names. They've got a bunch of
stinkers in here on purpose. They're just the stewfish, or
you know, they're just there to make you think these
other two top two look good. But here's their list.
They got Tim Walls in there at number twelve as
a potential candidate for twenty twenty eight. I can't. I mean,
(10:54):
only Kamala Harris and Tim Walls could be the worst
of the worst. Annie Brish here, I think as a
running mate is a legitimate name. I think Gavin Newsom
is done Fetterman seriously, as we said, a guy in
a hoodie and sweatpants coming out of Marine one. I
don't think America's got the vision. Kamala has done, Mary
Pete's done, Gretchen Whitmer as a running mate, Josh Shapiro
(11:16):
top or bottom of the ticket, and the one they
have at seventh is the one they really plan to
sell you, which, by the way, my wife was the
Buffalo bills of the Miss Oklahoma pageant. She was a
runner up four years in a row. Clearly the pageant
wasn't going to allow somebody dating a conservative talk show
host to win. My win. She got Missus del Jornal
(11:37):
much better title. But my wife will tell you when
they're putting the top five together, always beware of the
one they put in the middle. That's the one the
judges planned to give the crown to. Wes Moore is
right in the middle at number seven. But in all
of this, Chris and I think I'm going to be
right about Wes Moore, or they're going to hold him
(11:59):
for more years, depending on how things look. He is
eventually their next Barack Obama. But these are all names,
these are all personalities. They don't have anything in terms
of worldview, policy view, or platform, do they They don't.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
And we have a long way to go, you know,
from all of that, obviously, I mean, we have a
midterm to really kind of solidify.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Or do we have two years of a President.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Trump, you know, the good in the winning that we're seeing,
or do we see the Democrats kind of come back
and they're going to bring back everything they can't do it.
Let's not forget they have an entire corrupt system behind
them trying that will vociferously push back.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
However, what what Facebook? What well?
Speaker 8 (12:44):
The bureaucracy, I mean, obviously they're trying to root that out.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But the court system, I mean, there's.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Hundreds of of of levers and those U kind of errors.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
I mean, you know there there's a lot of stuff
that can happen.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
But ultimately, I think we're going to see, you know,
how does Jadie Bance handle all this stuff? And and
and how does that how does the continuation of Trump isn't,
as you say, so well kind of manifest in someone else,
and how it's Republican party kind of kind of shift.
So it's way too early, kind of for me to
(13:14):
kind of want even think about that, but I think
you know, you're right, Wes Moore is certainly their their
number one draft pick, so to say, and a mediacs.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
To all this stuff that's going to Yeah, and.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
He's been pretty quiet right now to.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Make it look to take out the rest of there,
to make him look even better, and is the only
sensible choice. I'm gonna go full circle. We're down to
thirty seconds and I want you to answer this final question,
and that is, now that we all know what the
Overton window is, can that Overton window window close and
reopen and shift in the next four years that quickly?
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Absolutely, It's it's why we need to be aware of
it and be cognitive of it. And it has been
a left leaning left sprinting over the last four years window,
and you.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Know, thank goodness, we're in a position.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Where it's shifting right. Word again, thank you to Elon
and to Trump and others. And it's something that we
need to take very seriously carefully because it's it's the
future for our country at stake, and it's something that's
so important to how we how we continue to grow
and flourish.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm more of a street guy, but I liked our
classroom session on the Overton window. Chris Walker, all Things Republican.
Thanks for joining us. We will talk next Monday or
sooner if conditions warrant. You have a great week and
be blessed, my friend.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You brother, it's your morning show with Michael del Chino.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
The White House they called the Columbian Fould. We don't
wand any of those criminals back here, Okay, I'm gonna
raise your tariffs. What tidman? Can I pick them up?
They caved in a hurry to the President trump threat
of tariffs. Mark Mayfield has the story.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
In a statement to the White House and that the
country had agreed to Trump's terms, including the unrestricted acceptance
of all illegal innglians from Columbia returned from the United States.
The statement also said the drafted actions on tariffs and
sanctions would be held in reserve and not signed unless
Columbia fails to honor this agreement. Trump is threatening retaliatory
measures after Columbia denied entry to a pair of US
(15:09):
military deportation plights of flights at all two C seventeen
aircraft which we're carrying about eighty Columbian migrants each from California.
In response, Trump announced on truth Social Sunday sweeping measures,
including tariffs on Columbian imports, visa sanctions on government officials,
and increased customs inspections and financial penalties on Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Vice President JD. Van says lower prices are coming, but
Americans might have to wait a bit.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
Dance told CBS has Space the Nation that the Trump
administration has already implemented measures aimed at reversing inflation.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Prices are going to come down, but it's going to
take a little bit of time.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Right that the president has been president for all of five.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
Days, Dan sin Sisti administration is working to increase the
number of American jobs and improve domestic energy production, both
of which he says will eventually cause the cost of
living to decrease.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I'm Tammy trheo Eagles fifty five to twenty three over
the Command Sequon Bark, one hundred and eighteen yards and three touchdowns.
There's your MVP of the NFC Championship and Chiefs outlast
the Bills thirty two to twenty nine. Yes, you get
your rematch Chiefs and Eagles Super Bowl fifty nine in
New Orleans in two weeks. Brett and Franklin, Tennessee.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
And my morning show is your Morning show with Michael
del Jorno.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Your morning show can be heard 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.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'm Michael del Jorno. It's like deja vu all over again.
As Jogi Barrow would say, here come the Eagles and
the Chiefs again. In Super Bowl fifty nine. White now says,
this is one of the greatest I use the analogy
of poker and the guy's got a crimey hands to
the just they peak and split second and they flip
(17:03):
them in into the middle. This this will be now
called the Colombian fold. So here's the Colombian president saying
he's gonna block the two US military flights carrying the
migrants back, and by the way, while you're at it,
establish better protocols in how you treat migrants. Donald Trump
(17:26):
then informs them of a new tariff and then some
if they don't cooperate. Suddenly I've been doing this. I
think people are taking it as a joke. I'd pick
them up myself, but it is blocked. Yeah, new sheriff
in town. By the time it's over, the Colombian president
(17:48):
is like, uh, you know, I could send my presidential
blane to pick them up. Wow, what a difference in
the you know, I do Ricardo month a month though
the plain, well, I make them glassy. Who'sta Petro? What
an amazing There is definitely a difference in this presidency
(18:11):
and America's watching and getting it. So, the White House
says the Columbian government has agreed to President Trump's terms
after he threatens tariffs, they cave. The Trump administration has
launched a social media thread showcasing the worst criminals arrested
by Ice since Trump's swearing in. And let me tell
you something, this is going to be a very effective
website because this is how the news is. Every day
(18:34):
We've been talking about this dea bust in Colorado. Now
it happens this fast because you knew they were there
all along. I mean, you can't help. But every time
one of these stories comes out, seeing both sides of it,
oh good job drug Enforcement administration raid and Colorado results
(18:56):
and sees drugs, weapons, apprehending international gang members. Why wasn't
this done when Biden was president. It's like what we
talked about with the bipartisan notions when it comes to COVID. Seriously,
both sides of the aisle aren't interested in what killed
one point two million Americans? Are you serious? This website
(19:22):
will make sure you connect the dots. Obviously, the DEA
knew where these people were in Colorado, knew what they
were selling, knew the weapons they had, knew they were
international gang members, and was doing nothing. And it shouldn't
(19:47):
take a change of presidency to have law and order
and enforcement. Big headline today Wall Street Journal, CIA now
favors lab league theory on the origins of COVID nineteen.
Remember a question of the day is why went both sides,
(20:09):
both partisan political parties want to know who killed one
point two million Americans over seven million people worldwide, or
why doctor Fauci needed and accepted a pardon as Joe
Biden was on his way to the helicopter. Well, the
(20:31):
CIA joins the FBI and now concluding that the deadly
COVID nineteen pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory league,
lending credibility to a view that has been the focus
of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years. I
Wentz worked for a company that made a lot of
(20:52):
threats about how I talked about COVID, and even then
I was playing this video. So I want to answer
that question of why Fauci might need a pardon and
the drip drip drip of now the CIA joining the FBI,
or the investigation to come, an investigation that might even
be led by RFKA Junior. If you wonder why some
(21:14):
people might oppose him, a former Democrat presidential candidate on
a Republican cabinet, I mean, I want to get both
from vot votes from both sides, right wrong, Not if
he's going to get to big pharma, not if he's
going to get to the big food supply, not if
he's going to get to the bottom of COVID. We
played this in real time when it was happening, so
(21:37):
while everybody was debating what are the origins of COVID?
Where the origin of code? What do we think of
the theory is? And yet here's this video right on
the Milken Institute website. This is the edited version that
was kind of like on Twitter, but you can watch
it in long form. If you do the the Snopes
on this, it'll tell you, well, the editing can be misleading.
(22:00):
It's not necessarily Fauci's saying he would do this, No,
it's the other scientist. They're having a discussion all these
scientists in a panel at the Milkin Institute, and Fauci
lays out how well, if we want to get to
mRNA technology, it's going to take years and years and
(22:20):
millions and millions of dollars and there's just no getting
around all the testing. And then another scientist has an idea,
what if there was an emergency? I think I'm kidding.
Here's the edited version, but this is pretty much them talking.
And I might add this is them talking.
Speaker 13 (22:39):
I mean obviously.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Weeks like three weeks before the Wuhan leak.
Speaker 14 (22:46):
Listen, we can't just turn off the spigot on the
system we have and then say, hey, everyone in the
world should get this new vaccine. We've been given to
anyone yet. But there must be some way that we
grow vaccine mostly an eggs the way we did in
nineteen forty seven, in.
Speaker 15 (23:03):
Order to make the transition from getting out of the
tried and true egg growing, which we know gives us
results that can be beneficial.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, but it takes time, it takes money, it takes testing,
you know, to remove liability. You wouldn't want that, right vouch.
Speaker 15 (23:24):
We've done well with that to something that has to
be much better. You have to prove that this works
and then you've got to go through all of the
clinical trials phase ones, phase two, phase three, and then
show that this particular product is going to be good
over a period of years. That alone, if it works perfectly,
(23:47):
is going to take a decade.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
There might be a need or even an urgent call
for an entity of excitement out there that's a completely
disruptive that's not.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
A disruptive entity excitement, you know, like grip the world
in fear you're all going to die unless we give
you this new, untested technology that can make a handful
of us rich and spare us the long decade and
trials and millions.
Speaker 16 (24:19):
Behold into bureaucratic strings and processes.
Speaker 15 (24:23):
So we really do have a problem of how the
world perceives influenza, and it's going to be very difficult
to change that unless you do it from within and say,
I don't care what your perception is.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
We're going to.
Speaker 15 (24:38):
Address the problem in a disruptive way and in an
iterative way, because you do need both.
Speaker 16 (24:43):
But it is not too crazy to think that an
outbreak of a novel Aviian virus could occur in China somewhere.
We could get the RNA sequence from that beam it
to a number of regional centers, if not local, if
not even in near home at some point and prints
those vaccines on a patch of self administer.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Now, is he talking about an example of how mRNA
would be a wonderful solution that we don't want to
wait a decade for. We don't want to go through trials,
we don't want to spend all the money to get approved.
Is he a profit or did he just expose a
(25:27):
plan they carried out three weeks later. Well, we're getting
a lot more investigations in time. But the CIA has
now joined the FBI and the Energy Department and identifying
a laboratory mishap in the Wuhan, China laboratories, you know,
(25:47):
the China virus that Donald Trump was made fun of
for saying for years, you may have had your job
threatened for years. Drip, drip, drip. Speaking of drip, and
it's not a very big drip. I mean it's only
four hundred and twenty million dollars, which is a drop
(26:07):
in the bucket compared to thirty six trillion of debt,
But it's a start. President Trump's executive order terminating all
federal Diversity Equity and inclusion programs has already sidelined. Three
hundred and ninety five government bureaucrats now dooze getting ready
(26:27):
to start. Headed up by Elon Musk wrote on next
Friday that approximately four hundred and twenty million dollars in
current or impending contracts, mainly focused on DEI initiatives, have
been canceled. That's a start, and as we mentioned numerous
times today, over eight thousand troops who were all discharged
(26:53):
from the military for refusing to take a vaccine have
been reinstated with back pay. All of these have in
common kept promises. Donald Trump through the Overton window with
executive orders, with threats of tariffs, and with sensible, reasonable
(27:16):
common sense as hit the ground running like no other
president in our lifetime or maybe any time.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chona.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The reuniting of some of these released Israeli hostages with
family members that never gets old watching. Meanwhile, at home,
President Trump's borders are is promising that immigration raids against
suspected illegal immigrants will expand.
Speaker 11 (27:47):
I'm Home Untold ABC's this week that ice raids will
soon go beyond illegal immigrants convicted of crimes have you country.
Speaker 13 (27:54):
Legally you're on the table because it's not okay to
you know, by lay Losses country. You got to remember
every time you're at this country, legally you violated a
crime on the title. Ignited States, called thirteen twenty five
minutes a.
Speaker 11 (28:05):
Crime home, and insisted the agency needs more funding from
Congress in order to fulfill its mission. He also confirmed
that immigration authorities will not hesitate to raid schools, churches,
and hospitals, locations that agents weren't allowed to enter under
the Biden administration. I'm Tammy trheo.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
President Trump is defending the late night purge of seventeen
inspector generals. Scott Carr has more from Washington.
Speaker 17 (28:27):
The federal inspectors general are independent government figures charged with
rooting out fraud, waste, and violations within their own agencies.
White House officials confirm over a dozen of them were
fired Friday night because they don't align with the new
Trump administration, calling the move a very common thing to do.
Trump defended their removal while speaking with reporters Saturday. Some
(28:49):
officials claim the firings violate federal law, which requires the
president to give both Houses of Congress cause for dismissal
and thirty days advanced notice.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I'm Scott are in Washington. Why now? Why not? Two
weeks ago, two months ago, two years ago? When did
law and order become a partisan issue? A drug enforcement
administration rate in Colorado resulted and seized drugs, weapons, apprehended
international gang members. Why now? Lisa Carton has details.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
The DEA says its local division operated a raid on
a drug trafficking ring that involved members of the Venezuelan
gang trend to Aragua. Ice agents and the Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco,
firearms and explosives were also on scene. The DEAs said
about fifty undocumented immigrants were taken into custody.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm Lisa Carton. Well, it may be Monday, but it
could be the best Monday ever. It's National Chocolate Cake Day.
Speaker 18 (29:45):
It may be hard to believe, but chocolate cake is
a relatively new creation. It came about by accident when
a chocolate maker and a doctor tried to make chocolate
by grinding cocoa beans. The first chocolate cake recipe was
actually printed in eighteen forty seven. The venient box cake
mixes we know today came about one hundred years later,
so seventy eight years of easy, chocolatey goodness on a
(30:07):
cake plate. And there's only one way to celebrate, Grab
a cake, grab a fork, and eight I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
All right, Roy O'Neill is joining us, Rory. Just as
we were getting ready to have this conversation, I'm watching
I don't have the sound up, but Fox is up
on a television in the studio. I can't get enough
seeing these released hossages reuniting with their family. Give us
the very latest time where we stand in the hostage situation.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Yeah, we saw four female Israeli soldiers released over the weekend.
In exchange, Israel released two hundred Palestinian prisoners. More than
half of them had been sentenced to life sentences. So
a significant disparity there, But not the first time and
probably not the last time we've seen that. And we
are expecting more hostage releases in the week ahead, perhaps
(30:52):
six more, three by midweek and then three again this weekend.
We might also see the return of a North care
align A native as part of the next hostage release.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I was just going to say, what about Americans coming
home and how many do we think are still alive?
The same could be said for the Israeli hostages, how
many do we think of? I mean, we're seeing them
the numbers, because if you've got four females and it
had cost you two hundred Palestinian prisoners, I mean I
(31:24):
can do the quick math and that's like fifty to one,
which has been a little bit under what you have
to give to get a female hostage back. But so
how many more can we expect? And then before we
probably exhausted, what hostages are alive? Do we have any
kind of read on that yet?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Well, we think there are still seven hostages American hostages
being held by Hamas, so this could be the release
of one. We don't know the health status or whether
or not they're dead or alive, on so many others,
and all this information tends to be a little bit
wobbily until it's actually time for a release to happen.
So these are some of the best guesses that we have.
(32:02):
We also have not yet seen them turn over any
remains of those who have been killed or died while
in custody. I think that's something else we're anxious to see,
because you know, once the body comes back, there may
be an autopsy, perhaps get an understanding as to how
that person died. That could really be something that causes
this whole temporary cease fire to fall apart.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Do we have any idea of what the Trump administration
is feeling about how slow US hostages are coming or
are they just kind of letting it play out because
they don't want to interfere as Russia negotiates a conclusion here.
I mean, at what point does Donald Trump step in
and say, I said, release my US hosages are all
Hell's going to break loose and we're just now getting
(32:43):
to one out of seven.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Well, I think it's just part of a process, right,
I mean, this is to get us to phase two
of this deal. In the three phase deal, we might
see a lot more of these hostages released as part
of the six week phase one, and I think it
might be you know, let's wait and see what happens
at the end of that first six week period. Of course,
Donald Trump's envoy has been part of these negotiations four weeks,
(33:06):
if not months now, and has been in the room
where these talks have been happening, so it's fully tuned
in as to as to these current situations.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
And then we also saw there's the sad fact that
you know, hell to pay.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Well, there's not much left of Gaza, so you know,
you could say they're already paying it.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Amas freeze four female Israeli soldiers in exchange for two
hundred Palestinian prisoners, and then also we get word that
the cease fire may be extended. That would suggest that
Israel and Hamas are both still liking the process in
the way it's going towards space two.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Right, that's the idea that even if this doesn't really happen,
you know, we don't get that broader piece deal, that
they're both at the table talking is seen as a
positive outcome.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Great reporting today, as always, Rory O'Neil will talk again tomorrow.
It's fifty eight minutes after the hour. Listen. Tomorrow, we're
going to have our first visit with James Carafano. I
think of the year, he's done so much travel. The
Lieutenant Colonel will join us and we'll talk more about
how things are going with these exchanges as well.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
