Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live on great radio
stations across the country like wilm and w DOOV and
Wilmington and Dover, Delaware, or wgst AM seven twenty the
voice in Middle Georgia.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
And we're going to need some blankets.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
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 (00:21):
One two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill Chain. Welcome
to Tuesday, the twenty eighth of January. You have a
lord twenty twenty five. Can't have your morning show without
your voice. That's why we encourage you to use the
talkback button as Corey, Mary and Big John have. You'll
hear their comments and moments from now. No longer do
you have to wait on home. You'll see a little microphone.
President'll count you down three, two one. You got thirty
(00:54):
seconds to ask a question, make a comment. After all,
we can't have your morning show without your voice. Well,
if you just waking up. President Trump has signed a
number of executive orders that ban any diversity related programs
in the military. More on that with James Carafondo, our
lieutenant colonel from Berlin. A little bit later on House
speaker Mike Johnson is suggesting he's open to California wildfire
(01:16):
recovery aid being linked to the Golden State adopting sensible
voter ID laws. And on a sad note, the southern
California wildfire death toll has risen to twenty nine. Well,
you probably noticed tech and energy stocks plummeted on Monday.
Of course, all signs are that when the market opens
they're going to recover right back. But in the meantime
(01:38):
what caused it? And the FED is starting a two
day meeting to discuss interest rates. With that more, Roy O'Neil,
our national correspondent, joins us, good morning, Rory, Hey there, Michael,
good morning. Yeah, I was just a big John's going
to make a comment on it here in a minute.
But some of the overnight stock indicate maybe a recovery.
But what happened yesterday with the tech and energy stocks, Yeah,
(02:00):
we'll see if it all gets back. In Vidia lost
six hundred billion dollars in value yesterday, the largest single
drop off of a single company in history. So this
is serious stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
But in Vidia has been a hype machine for a
few years now, saying we need these big computer centers
with our expensive chips and all this new electric service
in order to compete with AI. Well, this Chinese company,
deep Seek, says we just built it in two months
for six million dollars with an m and without all
the extra energy, and that really is turning the business
(02:32):
model upside down. So that's why we saw a big
sell off in tech and a big sell off in
energy since a lot of Wall Street investors have been
pumping money into energy stocks expecting they'd be building new
power plans to supply electricity for these computer centers.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Meanwhile, what everybody really wants to see it again, this
isn't the heart of the housing crisis, but interest rates
are a painful part of the equation. Everybody's want to
see interest rates come down, and of course they're separate
from mortgage rates. But so what about this FED meeting
might give some silver line to people waking up this morning. Yeah,
(03:08):
not much.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
We're expecting things to hold as they are with still
concerns about inflation. But the FED says Hey, look, unemployment
still looks pretty good. Maybe you were in a sweet
spot right now. So they're expected to have this two
day meeting and announced tomorrow. The experts say that it's
going to be a hold, no change in the FED rate,
and that may be the case for a couple of
these meetings for the rest of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, I think everybody kind of wants to see everything
just magically correct itself, and some of it will take time.
The biggest thing that will push the economy in general
forward is more jobs, I mean manufacturing jobs returning to
the country. J D Bands made that case over the
weekend of the Talking Head Show. So what in general
are the experts saying about the economy in its future.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Well, unemployment has been remained near historic loths, and you
know that's one of the other factors here. But I
think a lot of this, as you mentioned in the
housing market, is people still feeling trapped in their homes.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
They want to upgrade, but they can't.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
They don't want to give up their three percent mortgage,
or they want to move for a new job, but
with the same they feel they can't afford a house
in a new city. So a lot of people feel
they're almost trapped in the homes that are actually still
adding significantly to their wealth.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And on that front, I have more bad news for you.
Expect more people to invade your state. And just ranked
number one for retirement, and that's taking a look at
quality of life, cost of living, and healthcare providing, and
they even acknowledged it ain't as cheap as it used
to be. No, not as cheap as it used to be,
but it's still not a bad place to retire, or
(04:41):
so expect the true get not. I used to do
a thing when I moved here, and that was about
a million people ago, because see, I moved here right after,
you know, because everybody who was ever in Atlanta, like
in the seventies, Atlanta was unrecognizable by nineteen ninety and
I got here in two thousand and six or seven,
I can't remember what it was. Nashville is unrecognizable from
(05:04):
what I got here. And so my big thing on
the air was everybody stop talking about how great it
is here when you're out and about just keep your
mouth shut, don't attract anybody. That's kind of how that's
been in Florida. But they're still coming and many more
will come your rank number one as the place to retire.
Ory's gonna be back later this hour. We're gonna talk
about Columbia's Big Blink, or what I call the fast Fold.
(05:29):
We'll talk more about that with Worry in about thirty minutes.
Thanks Rory. If you're just waking up twelve minutes after
the hour, we love hearing from you. I don't know
what the order is. I guess we'll start with Corey
the yard Boy, who always likes to remind me of
my mistakes. Hey, good morning, Michael, Corey the yard Boy.
And don't feel bad about the whole Craig t Nailson thing. Heck,
(05:50):
I thought he was dead. That's awful, Cory the yard
board putting you in chick. We were supposed to interview
Craig ten Nelson on his new movie, and this is
one of those I really wanted to do. I'm a
huge correct Nails event. I thought Coach was one Coach
and Frasier Yeah, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show probably
three of my favorite sitcoms ever. And I don't know
(06:13):
why I had it in my head that the interview
was Friday, and it was yesterday and then I never
take a nap, you know that, And for some reason
I took a nap yesterday the night all text and
phone calls. Yeah, straight to boys, miss so many things
I wanted to ask him, and we'll never know. But
at least he's a lie, all right. I always love Mary.
Mary never has a call that doesn't, you know, get
(06:33):
us all thinking, good morning, this is Mary and Idaho.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Hey, you brought up the super Bowl, which I like
to call super Bowl l X. I know we all
can't wait to learn even more about Mama Kelsey and
the tush push, because that's fun to say. Instead of
all the pregame stuff, why don't they do an undercard
game between the Lions and the Bills, which is the
game we all really wanted to see, and call it
(06:59):
the almost super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The toilet even if they know, because you know, they
don't even play the Pro Bowl anymore. The Pro Bowl
has just become ridiculous. Don't even have it. Just make
somebody an All Pro. It's a distinction. There's no real
ceremonies or game. I mean, they played flag football now
it's so stupid. Well, then they run those drills. I
like watching them. I like the drills. It's not like
the home run derby Major League Baseball All Star Game.
I mean if if the game's too violent, you can't
(07:23):
even play an All Star game. I mean, but I
mean yeah, I would even settle for flag football, bills
and Lions. I'd watched that over the Eagles and the
Chiefs again, and the constant cutaways to more Mama Kelsey
and Taylor Swift. Oh, I'm just so sick of it all.
Make it end.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Uh last that Big John taking a look at the
pre market all chip makers that got banged around yesterday
all up before the open.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's a great sign bang. Oh he did it. I
talked over his light bang. I didn't know he would
do for you. That's becoming like a signature. Oh yeah,
the signature bang from Big Jonathan Sports book. All right,
don't forget, you don't forget. There's a talkback button. If
you're listening on your iHeart radio app. You can be
a part of the show anytime by making your comments
(08:15):
or asking your questions and we share them with the
entire class. Also, if you have noticed, iHeart redid completely
our online app and now it's kind of like an
old fashioned radio it has presets. I love that, and
may I take a moment and beg you to make
your morning show one of your presets. He who gets
one of the seven presets wins.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
If you don't see me, you'll forget about me. I'm forgettable.
Nice picture of you there, That's what I am. I'm forgettable.
Hit a preset, and don't forget The podcast as well,
in the podcast section of your iHeartRadio app, and you
(08:58):
can find it by searching your morning show or Michael
del Jorner. When you find it, it's subscribed. That way,
you get reminders and every everything we do every morning
is waiting for you about nine Central ten Easter and
share it, share it with your friends. Don't beg. I
can beg because I watch all this stuff, but I
want to see it explode. No, I don't. After all,
(09:19):
my net worth is eleven point two million according to
the Internet. You know what you're built from? City Banking's
calling and I'm not studying it. Oh wait a minute,
Oh oh, I craiged t Nelson that all and everybody.
I'm not joking.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I don't think we should be taking the advice, or
I would say.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That was just complete comotion. Yes, well you got to
head it to Caitlin Collins. She just thought she could
pound away and pound away and our new borders are
but that ain't how things works works at all. She
keeps pouting, and he keeps answering, and America keeps loving.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
For right now is deporting public safety threats and national
security threats. How does changing the ICE policy that allows
agents to conduct arrest and enforcement at churches and schools
help with that?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You see what she did there? Or arresting criminals, gang members,
human traffickers, drug lords, murderers, rapists, and that's who we're deporting.
But she's gonna throw at the Tom Holman with a twist.
And then churches in schools, you know, the kind of
things that make what's her name cry? Yes, Selena, Selena Gomez.
(10:40):
No wonder she's so upset. She's probably watching these networks.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
There's no safe haven for public safety threats and national
security threats. People say, well, were you really going to
a high school? Well, people need to look at the
MS three team members and turned to AGUA members who
went to this country majority in between the ages of
fifteen seventeen. Many are attending our schools and they're in,
they're and they're selling drugs in the schools, and they're
(11:06):
in they're and they're doing strong arm robbies of all
the students. So we're not both into schools or hospitals
a matter of practice. But if it, if it's a
significant public safety threat or significant homeland security threat, there's
no safe haven.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
We'll go where you need to go to take them
off the street.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
But you obviously are someone you've been working on the
border for years, sir. I mean, you've got an award
from President Obama for people who don't know watching and
you also, you know, have worked through these administrations. This
was the policy that's been in place, I believe since
twenty eleven, and it wasn't changed before. I mean, do
you have any reason to believe that that elementary schools
or churches are harboring, you know, these violent immigrants who
(11:43):
were here.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
She keeps saying elementary school. He made it very clear
fifteen to eighteen year olds that would not be elementary
school unless.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
We've got a real problem with these kids legally, like
I said, and when the circumstances arise, we got national
security threat, significant public safety threat, goal, we got to
go where this is school at Churchill Hospital. The national's
curity is important. And look, name another law enforcementnacy. Does
FI have those requirements? No, does DEA have those requirements? Know,
(12:10):
so I shouldn't have those requirements either. We have a
national security responsibility. We're going to take this people off
the street if it's out of school. That's what we're
going to do.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Narrative meats reality. In fifty two percent of America thinks
so we're heading into a golden age. Let's go to
the view where they think they can, you know, get
John Fetterman on there to play the boogeyman card with
Donald Trump. Doesn't go the way Whoopy in the View
wanted it to listen.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
Did anything you've been saying or do you anticipate that
there's going to be changes that we should be prepped
for that we were not thinking about.
Speaker 11 (12:43):
Honestly, I haven't been surprised by anything now.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I mean, he's.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
Been doing essentially what he actually campaigned on that he
announced he is going to pardon the Jay six individuals.
He is gonna absolutely go after the border. So there's
a lot of things that he's already ran on. I
mean criticize a lot of it, and I don't agree
with everything either, but it's un deniable. He actually ran
on that and been really upfront. He's like, I am
(13:08):
your reputation and he's, you know, kind of making those moves.
So that's kind of where we're at. Early on, immediately
after the election, I was like, hey, you know, we
have a choice. You know, we can freak out and
follow every other thing around, you know, like a cat,
you know, with a laser, you know, after I won.
But I'm not that guy. I'm not going to be
the Democrat.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
You know.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
For me, there's things I'm going to agree with, I'm
going to disagree with, but I'm in the business of
finding wins for Pennsylvania and for the nation and engaging
the president.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I think I see that as doing my job. By
the way, may I d Well said, may I add,
he doesn't look underdressed on the set of The View.
Always a favorite of mine is Scott Jennings and plopped
him in CNN. He does a yeoman's job, maybe does
some of the most important work showing them for what
(14:00):
they really are.
Speaker 12 (14:01):
The reason Donald Trump had to resort to these tariffs
and sanctions and punishments today is because the president of
Columbia refused to accept a flight of migrants.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
He said he wouldn't take them.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
Donald Trump said, We're going to enter the f around
and find out portion of this conversation, and he hit
him with sanctions in tariffs, And now tonight the Speaker
of the House, Mike Johnson says Congress is going to
back him up on that. He's putting Columbia, He's putting
the rest of his hemisphere on notice that you are
not dealing with the same president that you were. You're
dealing with someone who is taking illegal immigration seriously. Now,
(14:32):
within an hour of making that threat, the president of
Columbia said, whoaa, whoa, I'll send my own plane to
pick these people up. So obviously he got their attention
and they'll have learned a valuable lesson that Donald Trump
is taking immigration illegal immigration seriously.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
This is real leadership.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
But it sends a message to everybody else in the hemisphere,
do not test us. This is not Biden Harris, this
is Trump advance.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
We mean business and a legal crossings one from four
thousand to five rather instantly, by the way, Their problem
isn't they can't play the boogeyman card and Donald Trump
is a threat to America. Their problem is fifty two
percent of America. I think we've headed into the Golden
age of America and they support the president. To see
and then we go again.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Look, the American people really like what they're seeing, at
least compared to where Donald Trump started eight years ago. Right,
all right, this is Donald Trump's net approval rating.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
This is Reuter's zipsos. It's among adults.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
It was taken the first few days of this administration.
Look here, back in January twenty seventeen, Donald Trump became
the first president history to start his presidency with a
net negative approval rating. Look at where we are now
in January twenty twenty five, considerably better at plus six points.
That's up nine points. To borrow a Donald Trump praise.
This is big league. This is a sign that the
(15:46):
American people, at least initially like what they're seeing. And
so you see right here, more Americans approve of Donald
Trump's job than disapprove.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And that is very much, very much. Yeah, he's plus six.
Joe Biden was get TeV nineteen.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's your morning show with Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Stop crying. No, you're busy. You have a television show,
you have a music we're up against the gun, and
you're playing games. Let me say that. I'm so sorry.
See I told you. She's still on the phone. She's upset.
She missed part of the I know she missed part
of the show, and she just can't stop crying. If
(16:27):
you're just waking up, so glad you joined us. It's
twenty nine minutes after the hour in this Tuesday, January
the twenty eighth. The big story's waking up. We got
a new Treasury Secretary, Scott Bissent has been confirmed. President
Trump has signed a number of executive orders that ban
any diversity related programs, and the speaker he's open to
California getting wildfire money in exchange for voter ID and
(16:51):
they call it big business in college football out of
that big debt.
Speaker 12 (17:00):

And Jerry and Poop.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Also, as far as that crit Knowlson Tobaco goes, I
want you to remember this line from Forrest Common. It happens,
welcome to a little bit older age.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I don't use the age card. Look it was. It
was just a terrible series of misfortunate occurrences. One I
don't know why I thought the interview was for and
it was actually Monday. I never take a nap. And
then yesterday I just felt a little sleeping. I woke
up to like fifteen text messages, twenty seven phone calls,
(18:11):
none of which were David Zanati, all of which were
the premiere producer. Hey you got a Craig teenels An interview?
Are you okay? I like that. When he got to
the end, are you okay? Right away, his next thought
was he must be dead. That's just very unlike you.
I mean that you would do that, and that's the
one guy I was dying to interview. You know, I've
been looking forward to that for like two weeks. But yeah,
it didn't happen. All right, thirty six minutes after the
(18:33):
hour in the East Coast, you got about twenty four
minutes to be to work on time. Thanks for bringing
us along with you for the drive. We really love
serving you and we value your time, so thanks for
waking up with your morning show. If I were to
look at college football, and there's some solutions potentially, but
most of it is tooth based out of the tube,
how do you ever get it back in? I think
(18:55):
legalized gaming is a big problem. The portal is a
big problem. Right now. Nil is a big problem. Take
the Ohio State Buckeyes, if you will. The Buckeyes just
won the national championship, but did you know that they're
operating expenses. We're two hundred and ninety two point three
million dollars in twenty twenty four. Oh College sports is
(19:19):
big business and with it, big debt. The Buckeyes maybe
the national champions but they're thirty seven point seven million
dollars in debt while in a lifetime how college football
has changed. Our senior contributor David Sonati for the American
Policy Roundtable and the Public Square, joins us, Well, that's
your big school in Ohio. Good morning.
Speaker 13 (19:39):
Thirty seven million debt. Yeah, and it's the whole athletic
department that's got them there.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
They're big.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
I mean, people don't realize Ohio State University has sixty
thousand students on campus in Columbus.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
That's pretty big. Yeah. Notre Dame has nine thousand. But
let's not go there. I think I don't know where
LSU is now. It was at thirty six thousand when
I I was there in the eighties. It's got to
be close to fifty thousand now, I would think. But
that's a lot of debt. That's a lot of operating budget.
I mean, first of all, college football's big business, of course,
(20:12):
and the NC Double A. I'm sorry this seems like
a tremendously judgmental thing to say, but it just seems
like the NC Double A it's pretty greedy. I mean,
it's all about the money. Do you remember what bud
Sea League went through. My son's music teacher, Ken who
loves Christmas in America. By the way, he gave me
(20:35):
a book on Bud Sealely and he thought, well, he
gives me a lot of gifts, and they're usually great.
And then when I was like, Bud ceiling okay, and
I started reading it and oh, my gosh, this may
be the most influential person in Major League Baseball history.
And he had to tackle a big problem. We almost
lost baseball forever, literally, and it had to do with
(20:56):
average to small market teams could not compete. The dollars
and cents weren't there. So here we go into every
year trying to find a national champion. David, how many
schools have three hundred million dollars to spend on sports?
Speaker 13 (21:09):
Now we're getting to it. Now, we're getting to it.
This is tough because this also applies to the NFL.
Speaker 14 (21:14):
The cruit budget is Everything's what we've come down to
now is the way that the NCAA has driven this,
and it's their member schools and all their athletic directors and.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The whole piece, the whole game.
Speaker 13 (21:26):
What we've come down to is there's about six programs
in the country that are actually good enough to compete
everything else is beer and pizza bottom line. Now, at
least we've always justified that by saying, look, these kids
are getting an education.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
They're going to school. There's mortal life in football. I'm
with that.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
You transfer that up to the NFL, and now that
becomes virtually obscene in regards to what's competitive and what's illusion.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I mean, you take a look the NFL.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
The NFL has got six teams that maybe can compete
for the Super Bowl. The rest of the thirty two
team mess is just to beer and pizza and sports.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Cambling in Cleveland. I don't think you get pizzas dirt
and we like it factory of sadness now, but we've
often talked about, you know, hunger games, the NFL becoming
(22:24):
like hunger games. Never we're at in college football too.
Speaker 13 (22:27):
Yeah, well that's where we're at now because it's all
about NIL and so what is no name, image and
likeness nil. The schools are still prohibited, okay read this
prohibited in air radio air quotes, prohibited from directly paying
the players. So this debt that Ohio Stadium does not
include NIL money. They are the old booster system. Now
(22:48):
is these you can still use? They change the name
of it, but in essence, you can still have people
contributing to a fund that directly pay players for name,
image and likeness, and players can go out and get
all their own endorsements wherever else they want. Now that's
one issue, and you know, when it comes to a
question of justice and balancing the scales. Okay, top the
(23:08):
top athletes, like the people who play for these major megaschools.
Those athletes, if they're playing, if they're an uniform, they're
on the field, they're making a minimum of ten to
fifty thousand dollars a year to play football, well plus
their scholars I'm looking at an overall budget, an operation
of expenses at three hundred million dollars, and suddenly the
Buckeyes are thirty seven million in debt, and I'm thinking
(23:30):
nil is the reason, right, salaries, that's what's new.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, it's not an out.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
And I also completely separate from this, Michael, Seriously, Yes,
this is nothing to do with nil.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So what are they when you add that into it?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
Well, I'll tell you what. If you take it out
of it, the whole system now collapses. At what point?
I mean, you can look at the portal, the portal
is an easy fix. You can enter the portal till
February first, then you solve your bowl issues. You still
have the issue that bowl games that are are associated
with the national champion nobody really cares about. But I
mean when you can When you can't send a football
(24:04):
team that has any of the starters left on it,
that's a big problem. See two Lane in their bowl game.
All right, so you can move the portal date. I
don't think the nil that would be like toothpaste out
of the tube. The high cost to compete for the
five or six who can is untouchable by everyone else.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
What are you gonna get into revenue sharing? I don't
know how do you do that at the college level?
At what point? Seeing as how do I do this
without bringing up our governor? Our governor thought he was
so wise because he wanted everybody to praise him because
he resisted casinos in the state of Tennessee. But he
approved sports betting. That's what the that's what they wanted.
(24:43):
Do you think they want to do buffets? Do you
think they want to do housekeeping and have rooms? You
just gave them a product that they don't have to
pay any money.
Speaker 13 (24:51):
For you put a casino on everybody's pocket.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I put it right in their living room couch. I mean,
at what point can college, NFL, NHL, NBA, and can
they all go back to these casinos and say we
want a little kick back for all the money you're
making off our games. Well, and here's the challenge.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
The casino industry is brilliant, and of course they've run
in cycles like this and eventually they'll run out of
gas and collapse because you can only take advantage of
people for so long before other people wake up and
say we're done with you. But right now they own
the legislative process. And what's unfortunate is was when Governor
Lee came into office, his people thought they were really smart,
(25:29):
and they weren't. They thought they understood what they were
getting into, and they didn't. And a number of us
went to them and said, here's a whole lot of
data from the gambling industry, not the anti gambling industry,
from the gambling industry that will tell you what they want,
how they tend to tend to get it, and what
the result will be.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
And they said, thank you very much.
Speaker 13 (25:46):
But the stakeholders, the stakeholders anytime you hear a word person,
use the word stakeholders, watch out.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So if Bud Selig save baseball, let's say, as Greg
could comes along, how does he save college football at
this point? Ah, well that's a little difficult situation. Yeah,
because it's.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
In a way, in a way, it would be easier
to save baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
It's a smaller corporation than the NZ Double A and
not to mention all the sports involved. In fact, one
of the big expenditures was what paying off a college
basketball coach you failed? At six million dollars a year.
I used to say, behind every headline as a story,
behind every story, there's so much to talk about. We
could maybe even save this for tomorrow if you want
to do it longer. But I had to get this out.
(26:27):
So I'm on USA today and the headline is Costco
confirms switch of food court sodas from Pepsi back to
Coca Cola. And you see a picture of a hot
dog and a Pepsi even though now it's a hot
dog and a Coca Cola. You open up the story.
I mean, there's a line about switching back to Coca Cola,
but the whole story is about DEI talk about a
(26:49):
bait and switch.
Speaker 13 (26:50):
Yeah, well, and it's interesting because that now really has
become a story and in fact, you put it in
a perspective, Wow, the dollar fifty high dog is like
the biggest come.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
On for the Costco.
Speaker 13 (27:04):
Is owned basically owned by the three people that built
it from inside, the insiders, and they own a bunch
of stock. And then the three biggest mutual fund blockbuster
organizations that control American industry in business. That's Vanguard, black Rock,
and uh State Street. That's who owns all the stock.
(27:26):
Do you know there's one hundred and twenty seven million
people that are members of Costco who paid those dues.
Run the numbers on that one a Costco due times
one hundred and twenty seven million. Once they give you
as an operating base, what has Black Rock put in?
What has State Street put in? What does Vanguard put in?
So now you've got all this and they made Costco
made nine billion dollars last nine billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, they can afford to give you a buck fifty
hot dogs and turn on and tell you now we're
not We're going to keep diversity, equity and inclusion. Yeah. Oh,
and by the way, and then I don't know that
they wanted Al Sharpton to come there.
Speaker 13 (27:59):
And look me say something, Michael, do you better believe
that they that they threw those doors open. Can you
imagine those three investment companies letting any conservative activists march
down main Street of one of their biggest profit centers
like a crown prince.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
No, are you kidding me? Those companies are the primary
source of So if somebody wants to let their money
do the talking and switch to Sam's, is it any better?
Speaker 13 (28:22):
Well, look, Sam Walton would turn over and is great
based upon what has been done to his company and
where his family is today.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It's a crime, shame, It's tough.
Speaker 13 (28:29):
You're going to go go to Target where you can
join the LGBTQ crowd.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I mean, what on earth do you think about this?
Speaker 13 (28:36):
Retailers used to say stay out of controversial politics because
everybody buys shoes, right, That was Michael Jordan's famous line
from the Nike everybody buy shoes.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
But if this was a year ago or three years ago, fine,
But there's been a you know, an overt and window shift. Now.
I don't know how this is going to play with consumers.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
But well, and and The bottom line behind it, though, is.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
That it's it's not like there's a like. Well, they
certainly hit the story behind Coca Cola and a hot
dog at a dollar fifty.
Speaker 13 (29:04):
Fifty because here comes Al Sharpton, the Crown Prince of Dei,
marching down saying we're in charge here now.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
David's gonna be back for a full segment tomorrow in
his normal slot of the third hour. But appreciate your
time today, David. This is your morning show with Michael
del Chrono. We know if we were doing the modern
media like it was a newspaper on a commuter train.
The headline for Fox Border Agents records shockingly low number
of illegal crossings four thousand at the height of Joe
(29:33):
Biden a day down to five hundred and eighty two.
There's a new sheriff and the numbers have just suddenly shrunk.
To the Associated Press, where Scott Piscent has confirmed his
Treasury Secretary, giving him a key role in extending the
Trump tax cuts. If we go to the NBC portion
of things, the twenty ninth person has died in relation
(29:56):
to the wildfires in the Los Angeles area. It was
a patient at a hospital from the Palisades fire, taking
the death toll to twenty nine. How Speaker Mike Johnson
has suggested he's open to California wildfire recovery aid being
linked to the Golden State adopting some sensible voter ID laws.
And tickets for the Super Bowl. Who wants to see
(30:18):
that again? The Eagles are the Chiefs as the Chiefs
go for a three p a little bit lower than
past years, but still a lot of money. Highest tickets
are going for eight thousand, cheapest tickets are going for
fifty seven hundred dollars. And then there's Rory and I
who are going to be watching the game for free
from our couch. All right, I called it the fast fold.
But Columbia certainly blinked. And not only do they go
(30:40):
from we're not going to cooperate to here comes our
plane with our gas to pick them up. That was
a quick turnaround for the Colombian government. Yeah, it certainly was.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
As Donald Trump I think, as we've heard, is using
the threat of tariffs much more effectively than actually imposing tariffs.
And we'll see if other countries want to follow suit.
Heard some rumblings from some EU members last night. You know,
if Donald Trump wants to impose tariffs on us, we'll
do the same. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
But let's see what happens when that's been the negative
narrative against Trump is these turfs are going to drive
up cost of living. He's supposed to be bringing the
cost of living down. That's assuming he ever will impose
the tariff. It's the art of the deal, and he
might be negotiating this could add to that, right, the
credibility of you want to play this game Columbia because
they ended up setting their planes with their gas to
(31:31):
pick these people up. So it kind of shows you
he uses it more as an art of the deal
than a.
Speaker 13 (31:36):
That's a carrot and a stick, right, right, but at
some point do you have to use the stick? He
could kind of what look like yep, but but this
could this could help avoid the stick by having done
it with Columbia and Columbia caving and now the plans
continue to move on.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
We definitely, I know there's the famous video of Seling
Gomez crying well sickly targeting felons first, right.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Not entirely, but yes, what's happening is, yes, we are
targeting the felons, and then we're picking up people collaterally
as well who may not have the same kind of
criminal record. So there was someone who was picked up
yesterday or maybe the dad before, but I think they
were arresting someone who had been convicted of a crime,
even paroled, but then he was staying with someone else
(32:23):
who was also not in the country legally and had
a traffic ticket like six years ago, but otherwise hadn't
been violent.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
But they said, nope, you qualified too.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
But really this is all about messaging, because I mean,
they're going out there with the full news cruise and
even doctor Phil had access to some of the sweeps
that were happening this week.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, and again, the president has a lot of support
of the American people. If you're dealing with somebody that's
committed a felony or a violent crime, after committing the
crime of breaking into the country early, he's got anywhere,
depending on what survey you look at, anywhere about eighty
percent of the American people behind him. What shocked me
was even those with no criminal record breaking into the country,
(33:01):
he's got high fifty percent or higher depending on what
survey of the American people behind him. For deportations. So
he's got a lot of support of the American people.
Even Fetterman's on the View yesterday saying, look, he's not
doing anything he didn't promise he'd do, and the American
people elected him. So this is the process. It's in
full swing, and what a difference. I just shared that
(33:21):
stat only five hundred and eighty two people crossed illegally
into the United States on January twenty sixth. Those numbers
were as high as four thousand in the height of
the rush at the border. So it's certainly if sealing
the border was goal number one, that seems to be
his priority, and it seems to be working. If getting
these dangerous elements out of our country was priority too,
(33:42):
that seemed to be his goal, and it seems to
be what he's very busy doing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I talked to a reporter at the border who said,
with some of those border crossings falling off in the
week leading up to the inauguration, or weeks leading up
to the inauguration as well, it's not that anything was
done specifically, but it's just the messaging that's going out
in there saying don't come.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Well, and you remember, and this was my first sign
that I thought, well, Joe Biden isn't playing the Dave game.
They may have used him as a trojan horse to
get the White House, but they might have had a
handoff to Kamala planned in his first news conference sixty
four days in he hands the border to Kamala Harris
(34:23):
like he's handing her the poison apple, and in that
she ended up having to apologize to everyone and then
begged people not to come. But they had no credibility,
and they kept coming. Apparently Donald Trump has credibility and
the numbers have cut off rather immediately. Great reporting as always,
Rory will talk again tomorrow. Have a Glutealin, We're all
in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Hill,
(34:47):
Joe and No
