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.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell John.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Okay, are welcome to Friday in July the eleventh, here
of our Lord, twenty twenty five on the Earn, streaming
live on your Heart radio app. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jarno, honor to serve you. Jeffrey serving
us all with sound read, keeping an eye on the content.
And then there's Rory Rory, Rory, Rory r.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
R What.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
None of your other affiliates love you like weed? I
just asked Jeffrey, is he talking bad about me behind
my back? And Jeffrey goes, oh no, never off the air, No,
I talk bad about you right to your face. You know,
before we even start, we got to acknowledge probably one
of the top ten ever marketing slogans. What happens in

(01:22):
Vegas stays in Vegas. Here. You are since city, and
you're telling inviting everybody to come to sin and whatever
happens here will stay here. Well, apparently that's not the case,
and a lot of people, gamblers in particular, angry at
a little provision in the big beautiful bill.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Right now, this is really only going to affect professional
gamblers if you go and drop a couple hundred bucks
once a year or maybe twice a year, not really
a big deal. But the new rule going into effect
next year says you can only deduct ninety percent of
your losses, not one hundred percent. That sounds like a
little thing, but let's put it this way.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
If you're a.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Pro, you earned three million dollars and then you'll lose
two point eight million dollars because these guys operate on endgals,
on thin, thin margins, so you'd think you'd made two
hundred dollars, but instead you're actually going to be taxed
on four hundred eighty thousand dollars because you can only
deduct ninety percent of that two point eight million dollar loss.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, by the way, very profound point there are well,
and I think it goes beyond just like what people
perceive as professionals. There are very wealthy people that go
and do this, right, and now they won't have that,
But everybody you if you have to pay taxes, and
if it's a skill game, you don't. But if it's
a non skill game, I believe you do. So let's

(02:40):
say you go win ten thousand dollars in a slot machine.
They're going to take the taxes before you get the money,
and then you go back chasing it by proving your losses.
So that'll affect that too.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Right, And the concern is it drives more of this
business offshore, you know, just at a time with more
and more states are.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Legalizing game ambling and.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
The and the states are dependent on that revenue, there
are concerns. Now there are already some lawmakers trying to
undo what was done here. So this may not last.
It's a wait and see. But the math sort of
relies on the revenue stream. This is expected to generate
about one billion dollars over the next decade.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Now, is this casino only casino and online? No, it
can be both. It can be both, Okay, So yeah,
that would that would leave nothing but offshore to avoid that, right,
all right, well, yeah, that's that clearing some of that stuff.
That or what we would call nine out of ten
commercials when you're watching television, Apparently all we do is

(03:45):
gamble and take pills in America.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Right, coming up in third hour, we're gonna be back.
Forget about the personal injury lawyers. They're a big part
of those ends too. Yeah, they're there too. Six Secret
Service agents suspended, not fired. We'll get the latest done
the Secret Service adjustments changes following the assassination attempt of
Donald Trump with Rory in the third hour. Also, it's Friday,
so we'll have Friday with forty seven. I want to

(04:07):
have a little journey of discovery in a teachable moment.
All right, So, to me, this is the biggest question
of the day. It may not be the top five
to seven stories you're going to hear all day, but
this is the moment in which we're living. Do we
have a couple of crazy Democrats or has this party
gone crazy?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Now? John Fetterman would tell you these are crazy candidates
and they're not even Democrats.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
I'm not a voter in in New York City, and
so I have no dog in that fight, and everything
that I've read on him, I don't really agree with
virtually any of it politically.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
So that's just where I'm at as a Democrat. I mean,
he's not even a Democrat, honestly, So that may not
be true. John, this may be what your party is becoming.
I have talked for years about the civil war within

(05:08):
the Democrat Party, and I've watched it grow now. They
have avoided major victories by this element within their party,
but the way they had to do it isn't really
avoiding the victory. So Bernie Sanders, a socialist Democrat, would

(05:30):
have been the nominee representing the Democrat Party for president
of the United States both in twenty sixteen and twenty
twenty if the DNC didn't intervene, rig it and steal
the election from its primary voters. They didn't really notice
it when they did it with Hillary using super delegates.

(05:51):
They didn't really notice it when they did it with Biden,
and twenty they didn't care because Biden went on to win.
But they finally connected the dots that they had done
it to them and a third time, and what we
revealed this week which I think is the revelation of
the week. This is another one of those stories that
most people didn't talk about, and I'm telling you it
was one of the biggest stories because it's one of
the biggest scandals in American political history. A fake presidency,

(06:18):
and it was Vice President Kamala Harris and a memo
to all the people that would have run for president
in that primary, we got to get behind the president.
Stop all this nonsense. Our effing democracy is at stake.
And then they all followed one by one, from Pritzkurg

(06:42):
to Sheer, to Gavin Newsom to just to who's who,
and they all stand down. So Biden goes as mary
Way and gathers all the delegates. Then they feature him
in a debate before the convention for maximum ratings, don't

(07:02):
give him any drugs and let them go out there
and be cognitively impaired so they could take it and
hand it to Kamala. That's when they realized, wait a minute,
you didn't let us vote in the entire primary, and
then you just hand our votes for Joe Biden to
Kamala without having a say, kind of like you did

(07:23):
when you took him away from Bernie and gave him
to Joe in twenty or took him away from Bernie
and gave him to Hillary in twenty sixteen. But look
how clever, Look how clever they were to use Biden
to get the White House. Then Biden wouldn't step aside
for Kamala because that's the Clinton apparatus candidate. So the
one who lost first, the biggest disaster is a candidate

(07:45):
that they couldn't get elected. They got a seat away
at vice president and they couldn't get Biden out of
the way for four years, but they orchestrated him getting
all the delegates and then giving it to her, and
they thought they were going to walk across the finish line.
But keep in mind the Civil War. That's three narrow
avoidances of a socialist nominee for president of the United States.

(08:09):
And I got news for you. In twenty twenty eight,
there's a forthcoming and it's AOC and Bernie's already handed
the torch to her, and she's already handed her torch
to Jasmine Crockett, which is why we know she's not
gonna run for Senate against Cornite. Now you're getting a

(08:29):
glimpse of the guy who has been president for about
well eight years with Clinton, eight years with Obama, four
years with Biden. John Podesta is still running the show.
And it's so predictable. I can look you're right in
the eye and tell you AOC is going to get
off to a big early lead in the race for

(08:51):
the presidency, and then all of a sudden, you're going
to see Ronney, Manuel and Wes Moore inserted in and
that's who they're going to be their nominee. But if
that happens, the party's split forever. If it doesn't happen
in a socialist gets the nomination and it's AOC, the
party's over. But here's John Fetterman in real time talking

(09:13):
about Mom Donnie in New York and he say, this
guy's not even a Democrat. Well, he might be because
in the Civil War of your party they're not quite
at fifty percent. But you don't have any leaders, you
don't have any voices, and they're doing all the talking.

(09:38):
So I don't know that that's a definitive answer to
make Mom Donnie may be very much a Democrat. The
real question might be, John Fetterman, why are you still
a Democrat? Which leads me to this. Guys all know
how much I love Victor Davis Hanson. Right, here's Victor

(10:04):
Davis Hansen saying yesterday what I've been saying for months.
This is a party of insurrection. Their first goal is
destroyed the Democrat Party and take it over. Then it's
destroyed the Republic. Insurrection is here. Civil war could be
on the table.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
Listen, we're getting to the point now the left is
entering the era of sedition insurrection. We had Karen bask
go to a park and confront ice agents who were
federal law enforcement people of baying and enforcing and trying
to restore the legitimacy of federal law, which surpasses municipal
and state law. Remember, and she said, you got to

(10:45):
get out of my city. This is insurrection. Why is
it happening. We've said in the past that part of
it is that the Democratic agenda nobody wanted. They were
eighty twenty seven to thirty issues, and as a result
of that, they lost the Congress, they lost the White House,
they lost, of course in most cases, the Supreme Court,
so they don't have any power. So they're frustrated. But

(11:07):
I think even more importantly In the first administration, Donald
Trump addressed symptoms of the progressive project. Let's to restore
to terms, let's try to deal with the border, let's
try to stop crime, let's cut taxes. But he didn't
have time or the knowledge or the constituencies, and he
was working with the hostile Congress to.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Address the root causes of those symptoms.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
This time he's saying this lunacy, it's caused by certain institutions, foundations, universities, universities,
the Democratic Party, public broadcasting, the media. And so what
he's doing is he's going after bluestocking law, left wing
law firms. He's going after the endowment and taxing university endowments.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
He's looking at grants on federal.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
Grant surcharges, galging the federal government on university grants.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
What I love about this is today there's two stories
that nobody's talking about. I apologize for that. Scared me. Well,
TikTok's quick with a trigger, unlike you, No, But I
like that. The two stories today are is the president
is defunding PBS. He's working with Republican lawmakers right now

(12:22):
to begin the movement to defund PBS as as Victor
mentioned he almost single handedly killed wokeness. Wokeness just died.
All wokeness needed to do was be be noticed and acknowledged.
Now all of us are thinking it was crazy and
getting crazy. Cancel culture met to all this stuff was
getting nuttier nuttier, and then just suddenly the dam broke.

(12:44):
And also in the news today is Harvard University removing
everything from their website on diversity, equity and inclusion. Like
no mistake about it. The left nos, Donald Trump has
dismantled what they have built. For fifty years. A good
portion of America was awake. They saw the indoctrination K
through twelve. They saw it in higher education. They saw

(13:06):
the media bias, they saw the controlling of the narrative.
They saw the controlling of technocracy. But Donald Trump has
dismantled it. Not symptoms. He's removed the cancers. Here's one
last little showdown with Mom Donnie. But what you're watching

(13:31):
play out is the very reason I said one or
both parties will be done by the end of the decade.
And my view was always the Democrat Party losing all
credibility and splintering into several pieces, and the Republican Party
morphing into an American Party, which is probably why Elon
Musk chose that name. And he's trying to occupy a

(13:55):
space that's already occupied because he was a big part
of occupying it. That Hey, there are some things I
can't answer on any given tape.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del CHRONA.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Good Friday morning to you. President Trump is in forming
Canada that he plans to impose a thirty five percent
tariff on the country in August. Meanwhile, the President and
the First Lady are headed off to Kerrville, Texas today.
They're going to meet with first responders, get briefed by
local authorities, and meet with some of the family members
affected by the tragedy. Judges are at it again, a
federal judge, this time temporarily blocking President Trump's order to

(14:30):
restrict birthright citizenship from going into effect throughout the country.
I'll go out on a lemon guess that gets appealed.
And the State Department is notifying employees of upcoming mass layoffs.
And that's your top five stories waking up this morning.
All right, let's can of your morning show without your voice.
Let's get some talkbacks in. I want to start with
w K B and I believe that's Young Town, Ohio.

Speaker 8 (14:53):
I remember watching the debate between Fetterman and doctor Oz
and I was like, man, that Fetterman's brain don't work anymore.
How's he ever gonna win? This turns out he makes
the most sense out of anybody in the Democrat Party.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well, he really does. Red said something. First of all,
he had a stroke and he probably wasn't well enough
yet to run for the Senate. Although his mind is back,
his fashion hasn't returned. He still walks around with Patson hoodie.
But yeah, I mean that's the the you know, the
width of the party from Fetterman to mom Donnie, and

(15:32):
is that still one party? That becomes the question? Read
me a great comment. He represents his people, whereas others
just represent their party. Mary, good morning, Michael.

Speaker 9 (15:41):
I always like it when you recommend books, and I've
got one to send back your way. It's a new
book out by Selena Zito called Butler, and it's about
the attempt on then candidate former President Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
But it's got some really interesting observations about the death
of journalism. You always talk about that it's so centrally

(16:02):
focused on the East Coast, and they don't know anybody
in small towns, so they don't like them.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Selena Zito, author of the book Butler. I will check
that out. Thank you, Mary, We love you. Have a
great weekend.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
This is Josh and Montgomery, Alabama. My morning show is
Your morning show is Michael Dell Jorna.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Hey, it's me Michael.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
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.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Now. Enjoy the podcast. Keep those talk packs coming. Also
the emails, although I keep getting does this mean I'm old?
I've noticed I'm getting a lot of these pen Life
life insurance emails from Wilford Brimley. Well, I think that's
what it is. No, yeah, colonial Pen Okay, that just

(17:02):
makes you feel old. That's the kind of like, you know,
two dollars just to cover the casket costs of the
AARP magazines of the Please somebody email me. We're a
talkback audience, so you ever noticed that. I mean, I
think we are like anywhere from fifteen to one talk
back to email. Sure, well, it takes time to email,

(17:23):
it's very talkback is so easy. Just right there on
the iHeart app, there's a microphone. You press it, boom,
no calling, no waiting on hold, nobody's screening you. You know,
I have like somebody, what do you want to talk to? Michael?
It's all about Michael's all about Michael. No, it's all
about you. Ask your question, make your comment, and be
a part of the show and take your place at
this morning's kitchen table. That was Big John saying bang,

(17:43):
and this is the uh, this is another bang. This
is the sounds of the day. Bang. She's gonna get smoked.
He's got too and stopped.

Speaker 10 (17:51):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding. Good, it's right.
How do you like? I loved your garbage? All right?
So you know the old expression is a picture's worth
a thousand words, and so somewhere in that spirit, and
then you know, kind of like following memes, you know,
the media does nothing but lie. Social media is just
a complete dysfunction. Were living in a matrix, you know,

(18:25):
and so in the midst of all the chaos, there'd
be memes that we're saying the truth. It's kind of
like in the movie Bruce Almighty. Every now and then
you see that the homeless guy holding up a sign.
He's the only one living truth. Everybody else is living craziness.
And I thought wouldn't be fun to do a segment.
We're just the sounds of the day, paint its own picture. Now.
One guy we kind of like is Harry En because

(18:48):
he's a on CNN where they're selling lies that he's
disproving in real time and they allow it. In this
particular case, Harry finally proves why he works for CNN.
He can't figure out why Americans are not greatly worried
about climate change. I'm trying to remember, do you remember.

(19:10):
I remember when Phil Valentine's movie came out. I was
on the red carpet with him. But the original uh,
inconvenient or convenient truth? Or is it inconvenient? Phil's was
inconvenient inconvenient, and then move was Al Gore's, but that
that was originally that was pre two thousand, wasn't it?
Or was it post two thousand after he left office,

(19:32):
so after he lost those it's probably about two thousand
and two, I guess. But here's the point. Every claim
that time has been their biggest enemy. No, it's not
going to stop them. And you're gonna hear that and
Sounds of the Day with Jasmine Crockett. They're gonna blame
rain floods in flash flood Alley on Donald Trump and

(19:56):
on climate change. But it just happens, right, whether it
has always happened, Tragedies have always happened. But the biggest
enemy of the whole global warming hoax is its foundation
and time, because they keep telling you we're all going
to die, and here we are, it's twenty five maybe
it's twenty three years later from al Gore, and of course,

(20:18):
you know Barack Obama sees rise, We're all going to drown.
You know, Icekeb's a mountain on in the back. They
thicker than ever. We're actually in a global cooling phase
right now, Believe it or not. But here's Harry looking
at how much we have been scared over the global warming, which,

(20:43):
by the way, lost a lot because they basically did
with COVID what they were trying to do forever with
global warming. And so when you saw the hoax of
COVID and the scare tactics and the controlling of COVID,
it helped you see the climate change controlling as well.
So they kind of died together. I guess this is

(21:03):
all a shock to Harry.

Speaker 11 (21:04):
Listen, are Americans afraid of climate change? And the answer is,
Americans aren't afraid of climate change. Climate activists have not
successfully made the case to the American people. I want
you to take a look here. Greatly worried about climate change?
We have data going all the way back since nineteen
hundred and eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Look at that. It was thirty five.

Speaker 11 (21:22):
Percent, two twenty twenty forty six percent, and twenty twenty
five forty percent, which is the exact same percentage as
back in two thousand.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Despite all of these.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
Horrible weather events, the percentage of Americans who are greatly
worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh darn consistent,
which kind of boggles the mind a little bit. Granted,
everything that we see on our television screens, our computer.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Screens, you mean narrative, you mean indoctrination. How dare we
not believe it? They've been playing a scared game of
control and it hasn't worked. By the way, I think
Harry's missing the most profound point of his own research.
In nineteen eighty nine, long before al Gore, and by

(22:08):
the way, only fifteen years after they were all telling us.
You know, that was one of my original book reports.
I had to I'll never forget, and I do this
for a living now, But at the time, our class
was you had to read an article out of Newsweek
or Time and do a summarine a report on it.
I don't know why, out of everything in school, I
dreaded that the most, and now I do it every

(22:29):
day and the week's fly by like minutes. But I
remember doing one on we were heading into an ice
age and we were all going to die. I think
it was Time or Newsweek. The highest it was thirty
five percent nineteen eighty nine. Then it grew to forty percent,
and then al Gore was going to take it to
one hundred percent hysteria, but it only got to forty

(22:49):
six percent by twenty twenty, and now it's right back
to forty percent. We're right back where we were in
two thousand. No one was ever interested in doing the
things that they've tried to do with the fear to
control you. And even when you would ask them, oh, yeah,
this is global warming is bad? Okay? Are you willing

(23:10):
to give up your car? Hell no? Are you willing
to pay by the mile and by the hell no?
When it ever came to taking any personal action, nobody
was ever interested. Now they're not even interested at all.
It could be another Trump victory. A lot of people
this week disappointed that it seems like what is obviously
happening is the Epstein list that they all bragged about

(23:31):
having and told us they would share with us. Now
they're not why the guy was rumored to be on
the list. Alan Dershowitz says his theory.

Speaker 12 (23:39):
So let me tell you, I know for a fact
documents are being suppressed, and they're being suppressed to protect individuals.
I know the names of the individuals. I know why
they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them. But I'm
bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I
can't disclose what I know. But I hand to God

(23:59):
I know I know the names of people whose files
are being suppressed in order to protect them.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
So the question becomes, why would they do such a thing.
Victor Hanson sat down with Glenn Beck and he had
his explanation.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
I think it's pretty clear now that Epstein had no
talent other than blackmail, and he was not a financier.
He was not a captain of finance at all. What
he did is he invited very powerful people to his
islanders New York Home, filmed them, and then he bribed them,
and he shook them down and said, I'm going to
be your quote unquote financial advisor, and in exchange for that,

(24:36):
I'm not going to release all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
And whether you know there were some pretty busy people exposed.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
Because I think it's not I think there are people
in the establishment.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I don't know if they are took in.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
His his sick things he was doing, but they they
have some association with him, and they have a finance.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
They gave him money to it. It's skilled by nociation.
So because some of them were having sex with underage
girls and there's video to back it up. Others we
are just taking free trips or going to an island.
But if you release a list, the assumption is going
to be that all of them were doing the sick things.

(25:23):
The bottom line is, we don't know why it's being suppressed.
The question is it going to be acceptable to keep
it suppressed or is the game to suppress it and
then let it come out by someone else's doing. The
question of the day is do we have a crazy
candidate zoron mom Dami or do we have a Democrat

(25:47):
party that's gone crazy? Well, the guy that we used
to think was crazy and now he's the only wise
one in the room. John Vetterman thinks he's not even
a Democrat.

Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm not a voter in New York City and so
I have no dog.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
In that fight.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
And everything that I've read on him, I don't really
agree with virtually any of it politically. So that's just
where I'm at as a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
I mean, he's not even a Democrat. Well, I don't
know that that's the answer. I think he's a part.
Your tent is so big and they now make up
I'm guessing thirty six to forty percent of the tent,
and that's enough to create a showdown. I thought the
showdown would be the next presidential election, and it probably
inevitably will be. But this is certainly an undercard matchup.

(26:36):
I was taken by Mark Penn, who is a Clinton polster,
who dared to answer the question we were discussing yesterday
right on the show, what to do about this? This
will create destruction and chaos for businesses and people in
New York, could lead to the destruction of the Democrat Alora.

(27:00):
That may not be a bad thing, could be a
trial run for the very territories of a future civil
war are inner cities. That's a little scary. And so
Mark Penn just comes up with this, Hey, look, this
is one of those moments for Republicans and Democrats to unite,

(27:20):
avoid this socialist experiment in our largest city. But for
John Fetterman is ma'am, Donnie not a Democrat? Is AOC
not a Democrat? What about Jasmine Crockett? They may be?
The question is are you still speaking of Jasmine Crockett.

(27:43):
Of course she had to make tragedy politics and don't
blame the rain, don't blame the flooding, blame the president.

Speaker 13 (27:57):
So anyway, I just wanted to jump on because my
heart is truly heavy for all of these families. The
sad part is I think that my heart is going
to carry a level of weight that will continue to
weigh me down as we have to continue to do
our best to survive in administration that literally is against us.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
In administration that is.

Speaker 13 (28:27):
Doing everything in my mind to hurt us and not
help us. And it feels like we're fending for ourselves.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
That is so disgusting to make tragedy children, husbands, wives, mothers,
fathers or dead, to make that ridiculous politics and maybe
do ony thing even worse than making it about global warming.

(28:58):
And if you have true compassion, if your heart was
really broken for these people, you don't go to that
next level. So one's in genuine and genuine and the
other is very genuine. These people have no heart. But
she's from Texas, Yeah I know, And she's from Texas

(29:20):
to boot that's your South today.

Speaker 7 (29:25):
Majored in online activisim with a minor and puberty block.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
They're going to a little bit you beat any of
you in the media clearly missed the art of the deal.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
It's going to work out.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Chorno.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
President Trump is informing Kennaday plans to impose a thirty
five percent tariff on August the first unless Meanwhile, a
federal judge is temporary temporarily blocking President Trump's order for
birthright citizenship to go into effect in this country, and
the President first Lady will be headed to Kerbville, Texas today.
They're gonna meet with first responders, get griefed with local officials,

(30:04):
and then love on and console some family members who
have been affected. John Decker is our White House correspondent.
I guess the question from the very beginning was how
long to wait so you didn't get in the way.
This seems like the right day to do it.

Speaker 14 (30:16):
Yeah, I think so, you know, I think that you know,
there's always this desire to have the president down after
a natural disaster immediately, but you know, in the immediate
aftermath of any natural disaster, you can imagine the community
is going through a lot, you know, in terms of recovery,
in terms of grieving, and it seems to me it's

(30:37):
the right time to have down there the president. You
may recall, Michael in his first week in office, back
on January the twenty fourth, visited western North Carolina Asheville area,
as well as Los Angeles. In the aftermath of the
flooding in the Ashville area.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
And the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, a president is a commander in chief, he's a CEO,
he's all those things. But he's also the the figurehead.
And so this is it's important for a president to
represent all of us and go there and tell all
those that are doing search and recovery how grateful we are,
hug all those families who have had losses because we
would hug them if we were there, and then also

(31:15):
fact find what could be done better. Not that you're
buying into the narrative that this is in any way
a failure of your presidency, but just as a president
in current time, is there something we can learn from
this in the future, And I think the president genuinely
wants to.

Speaker 14 (31:30):
I agree with you. I agree with the way that
you express that as well. You know, there will be
fact finding.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
At the state level.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Governor Rabbit of.

Speaker 14 (31:37):
Texas has said that you want to make certain that
these types.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Of things do not happen again.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
In the future, and it's important to do and after
action report and you.

Speaker 14 (31:47):
Know, see where things could have been done better. There
may be oversight here in Washington, DC. You know as
it relates to the actions of FEMA and the National
Weather Service, so that.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Is something that could be expected as well.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
But I think that the.

Speaker 14 (32:02):
Primary reason the President wants to go down there is
to comfort a grieving community.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
People have lost.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Everything in terms of property, maybe they've lost loved ones,
over one.

Speaker 14 (32:11):
Hundred fatalities so far, dozens upon dozens of others missing.
So it's a tough visit for any president after a
natural disaster like we saw last week.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
And John is as theatrical as he is, as controversial
as he is. This is what Donald Trump does best,
and that is really care and really comfort. It'll be
a welcome visit. Appreciate your reporting. We'll talk again, Sue,
have a great weekend. John Decker back after we missed
him for a week, Ken have your morning show without

(32:42):
your voice. I want to get these in real quick,
because then we got Friday with forty seven himself. Let's
start with Sue and Nashville.

Speaker 13 (32:48):
When I get those penn colonial all the life insurance
and the AARP, I think.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Boy, they must surely have the wrong person.

Speaker 8 (32:57):
I can't possibly be this old.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
I forgot it turn sixty.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh yeah, But anyhow, No.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Wrong person.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Love listening to you, Michael. Yeah, I had that experience
the other day. I was walking down Columbia and past
the cemetery. Two guys chased me with a shovel. They
thought I was ready. James James. I don't know where
James is, but WKBN oh Youngstown, Ohio James.

Speaker 10 (33:21):
Morning, Michael Jeffrey and Red Great Rush Limbaugh used to say,
the caller's job was to make the host look good,
but you're listening to us makes you look the best.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
This is truly amazing radio. Keep going well, stick around
because when we come back, I did you know of
all the weeks Friday with forty seven? I think what
what we agreed on. We've got to ask is Pam
Bondi's day's number? Or just feel out how the president
feels about this Epstein all being swept under the rug.

(33:53):
I want to know how it feels about the Nobel
Peace Prize because you know, now we have two African
nations nominating him along with be along with Pakistan. Is
this meaningful to him? And then this mayor's election in
New York City and he mentioned that if this guy,
this crazy socialist, wins, he's going to get involved. What
does he mean by involved? He asked. The questions, you

(34:16):
get the answers, Get your depends ready. It's Friday with
forty seven next.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
