Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to

be a part of your morning routine, but we're happierre
here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael o'
deel chrono.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Seven minutes after the hour. It is Halloween Friday, October
the thirty first. You have our Lord twenty twenty five
on the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This

In talk radio, you got thirty seconds to make a
(00:51):
common ask a question and get right to the front
of the line and take your place at this morning's
kitchen table. So use the talkback putton, or you can
email Michael d at iHeartMedia. Well, a lot of pressure mounting,
Trump urging Republicans to end the filibuster to reopen the government.
Delton United calling on Congress to immediately end the shutdown.
(01:11):
Holiday travelers upon us, and the Dems continue to fight
with the federal workers unions that continues to brew. These
are all the things that one might hope would get
Congress to do its job and fund the government and
reopen the government. As we enter day thirty one, Roy O'Neil,
(01:31):
our national correspondent, is joining us. Did I miss anything
in that summary? Rory?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Only that now the House and Senate are nowhere to
be found in Washington.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Well, nothing can happen on Monday, right.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
The Senate is skipped down after a couple of votes yesterday,
so they're done. The House, of course, hasn't been in
session for the month, with Speaker Johnson saying, look, we
did our job, we passed the continuing Resolution. It's up
to the Senate Democrats to come on board and get
the govern reopened. They say that once they get past
that reopen things, then they'll talk about trying to extend
(02:06):
those subsidies for the Obamacare insurance programs.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I don't think people are stupid. I think people are
sometimes ignorant and they're not the same thing. They may
focus on other things in life and they don't study
politics the way we do and so on. But I
remember the early posts on social media, how can you
blame this on anybody but the Republicans. They have control
of the House, the Senate, the White House. If the
government shut down, it's got to be their fault. And
(02:31):
of course no, there's the filibuster, and you need sixty
votes that you don't have sixty Republican senators. But that's
what the president's calling on them to a end. And
I'm wondering, reds are wondering. We're wondering. If you're wondering,
if that's exactly what the Democrats have wanted all along,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think they've really just been dragging it out, waiting
for the insurance bills to come out, which was this week,
and you know they're open enrollment now for the Obamacare
policy starts tomorrow. I think people are seeing the numbers
of what it's going to cost them for their health
insurance next year. I think that was the tactic, to
wait this long for this.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That's a good point, although see Barack Obama on that, right,
what's that? That's a great point, But see Barack Obama
on that. It never did insure everyone, It never did
lower premiums, it never did increase the quality of care.
We've just been subsidizing it to the insurance companies.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
That's, you know, because the first word of the ACA
is supposed to be affordable, right back where it has failed. Yeah,
no one is really addressing that though. But look, there's
been a lot more pressure on Republicans saying, well, what's
your plan? And you know, it was five years ago
when President Trump told us two weeks, I'll show you
my brilliant healthcare plan. So we're still you know, we
(03:45):
haven't seen alternatives either.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Roy O'Neil joining us, our national correspondent. Just tragedy everywhere
you look. So we are now reporting fifty and I
suspect that may grow dead across the Caribbean after hur
acute Melissa.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Melissa was a tough one, indeed, And as you said,
the sun is starting to come up again. Maybe it's
another day of search and rescue operations, but then it
becomes search and recovery probably early next week.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And there's still just a lot we don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
They've really had to struggle using machetes, trying to clear roads,
and just being able to try to get first responsors
to some of these more remote parts of the western
side of the island.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You know, I remember a time when you used to
hate me, and now you just greatly dislike me. But
I want you to know this came from red because
I think we're starting to bond. He wants to know
why you haven't done a study on America's radiest cities
because Los Angeles overtook Chicago.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, no, I share well.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I shared that with our California colleagues offered that yesterday
that yeah, there is a change. I think five of
the top ten are all in California.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So take that newsom All right, Rory's gonna be back
at the third hour with a real story. It's Halloween,
a holiday that now has significant impact on more than
just and costumes. He'll tell you what when we come back.
I mentioned we can't have your morning show without your voice.
We would never have your Morning It's more than just
a name. It's by design. There's enough people on the
(05:12):
air that think they are the smartest thing on earth,
and you're just so lucky to overhear their voice. I'm
not that person. I want this show to always belong
to you and us who serve you, so please email
use that talkback button. We'd love to have you on
the show like this one. We got one from Youngstown
Morning Michael.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I'm old enough to remember when I grew up with
three VHF stations in two or three UHF stations at
the news hour. That's all that was on TV anywhere, say,
and a choice of Concrete or Huntley Brinkley. I don't
you remember if there's anybody else, we didn't have a
thousand channels to pick from.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm trying to remember. Growing up in Chicago. We had
Channel two WBBM, a channel seven WLS, we had Channel
nine WGN and leaving somebody out. I don't even remember
who the other one was. ABC was WLCBA. I don't
remember who the NBC was. Oh, I think it was
a channel five, so two, five, seven, and nine. And
(06:14):
then we had Channel thirty two and channel forty four
on BHS. That was it. And most of my shows,
believe it or not, like you know, Brady Bune, Partridge Family, Gilgans,
they were all on UHF. And our TV was black
and white, which was a real problem. When the Browns
played the Bengals. You couldn't tell who was who. You know,
(06:36):
looking back, and what he's referencing is our conversation that
we're gonna do right now in the ratings. I do
remember in childhood my dad loving Bonanza. We were like
a Bonanza house and I just couldn't do it, so
I'd sit there and play with my football cards or
I do remember we were a Carson family, not a
(06:56):
Dick Cabot family. I remember we were a McDonald's family.
In fact, in Arlington Heights, by the racetrack Arlington Park
that's no longer there. That's where they're gonna build the
Bear Stadium. They shared a parking lot, so you had
McDonald's and then right next door was Burger King, and
I remember we would always sit in McDonald's and eat,
and I'd stare over and there'd be like one person
(07:17):
at Burger King. And I remember asking my dad one time,
who eats at Burger King? Sixty years later, I prefer
Burger King over McDonald's, and I don't really go to
either very much, so I remember being a McDonald's family,
not a Burger King family, a Carson family, not a
Dick Cavot family. And I can tell you this, we
(07:38):
were a Frank Reynolds family. We worked Alter croneitit family.
In fact, Frank Reynolds what a voice. Now all time
favorite anchor for me was Peter Jennings. But we were
like a Frank Reynolds family or Walter Cronkay. But just
to put this whole conversation in perspective, and this is
(07:58):
how it came up. When Walter Cronkite was on in
the late seventies and before he signed off in nineteen eighty,
he had fifty fifty three million viewers every evening for
the CBS Evening News fifty three million. Today CBS has
(08:25):
three million. So from my junior year in high school
to talking to you this morning, CBS alone has lost
fifty million viewers. I mean, you ought to line up
all of their news directors and all of their CEOs
(08:46):
from nineteen eighty to today and do a scene out
of alkyrie. Now you and I know journalism's dad. They
lost trust, they lost credibility. One of the great stories
is Jake Tapper coming to the conclusion that the gen
Z has been lost forever to the right. Why the
(09:07):
left went too far shoving leftist propaganda and agenda down
their throat, COVID being the final struck. He's right, but
that's what killed the networks too, So it's killing Hollywood,
especially the last two years. I mean, I would have
(09:29):
never told you Robert janiro was my favorite actor, but
if you brought up five to ten of my all
time favorite movies, he happens to be in them, if
not directed them. Gene Hackman will always probably be my favorite,
but I can't watch any of them. I can't watch
Goodfellows because I can't stomach him that they had just
(09:53):
shut their mouths Now. The other thing that's killed celebrity
is is that everyday Americans think they're a celebrity. I mean,
they're doing videos on their social media, they're doing a podcast.
I see people every day doing podcasts like they're professional
radio hosts, and they think they are. In fact, they've
(10:15):
got egos, and I don't. Are you trying to tell
me that influencers aren't famous? Well, when I do the
birthdays every day, do you know I'm trying to do
that without a no? Do you know that eighty percent
of the celebrity birthdays are influencers, they're podcasters, or just
you know. It's crazy. All right, So here's the big picture,
(10:36):
because now I'm down to three minutes. Who's winning at news?
The answer first and foremost, number one takeaway is Fox
three point two eight million, And I mean winning. That's
over ABC, that's over CBS, that's over NBC, that's over MSNBC,
that's over CNN. They're the king, not CNN, who began Fox.
(10:59):
When you go inside the Fox success, which we spent
most of our time talking about, don't miss the biggest
story that ABC is at three million or three point
twenty five million, CBS is at three million, NBC's at
three million. These networks at once set fifty million are
down at three million, and they can't even beat a
(11:22):
cable news network. But inside the cable news Fox success,
sixty three percent of all cable news is Fox's the
pretty dominant victories. Now, who's winning within Fox? The five
is far and away the runaway winner. After the five,
(11:42):
Jesse and then Gutfeldt, which I thought might have been second,
if not first, but available audience at late at night,
I guess, parsaid Sean Handy's in dead last, and Special
Report with Brett Bher comes in fourth, which suggests that
America doesn't really want news anymore. News isn't enough. It's
(12:08):
not even a desired appetizer. Do you ever go to
a restaurant and feel sorry for all the appetizers that
never get ordered? I do, Like, how would you like
to be one of the other appetizers at out back?
Nobody orders you? Everybody gets the blooming onion. Sad, but
I digress. No, they want their they want their news entertainment,
(12:35):
not news. They want their news outrage. I remember what
Brett Bear said in our Spotlight interview. I just want
to talk to Republican Democrats and see what they're working
on as opposed to what they're fighting about. Isn't the
same true with news? Isn't news one big fight you're witnessing?
I mean it's created the matrix and two alternate realities
(12:56):
and universes. Those that watch CNN and MSNBC and those
that watch Fox, same day, same events, completely different experience
because they're more interested in fighting than informing, outraging and
raging than informing. I mean, is it only lost on
(13:18):
everyone but me? That of the other of the only
people trying to really do news. Right, Brett Behar, you
get to be in fourth place. I mean time will
tell right. CBS wants to fix itself. I don't think.
I don't think like the CDC, it can never regain
the trust of the American people. But good luck trying.
(13:39):
But what if you do it, and you do it successfully,
You don't just make people believe you're doing it and then,
like Walter Cronkite, secretly you're a lefty, but it never
comes on the air. You really do it and nobody
wants it. See, it's easy for us to come to
the conclusion. You know what our problem is our pop
(14:00):
politicians would rather fight that serve us and get anything done.
What if we'd rather fight then get things done. There's
a lot of this going around. That's why I say
the biggest flaw in the Palestinian peace agreement. What if
(14:20):
the Palestinian people aren't peaceful. What if deep down they
like a thug. What if deep down they want every
Jew killed, they want Israel to not exist, they want
every Christian killed, and they want America not to exist.
That doesn't matter who's overseeing it. They're not being controlled
by thugs. They are thugs. Are we being controlled by thugs?
(14:41):
Or are we thugs? I mean, there's a lot more
than just ratings in here.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Game six tonight back in Toronto, the Blue Jays leading
three games to two. They gotta beat the chance. I know,
remember the old John Madden the champs till somebody beat you.
They haven't beat the champship, and the champs are gonna
throw their ace tonight. But there is something about this
Blue Jays team. They just don't have any nerves. It
doesn't make any sense on paper, It doesn't make sense
(15:17):
looking at them. Half of them don't even look like
professional athletes. And I don't know why. Everything in my
gut tells me the Blue Jays are gonna win in
six games, and I had the Dodgers winning in four.
I will say this, I agree with Adam. If the
Blue Jays lose tonight, they'll definitely lose Game seven. But
I actually think it could end tonight. Blue Jays Dodgers
World Series Game six tonight at seven on Fox on
(15:40):
Thursday Night Football, Lamar Jackson was back. That's two hundred
yards passing a lot of pushtushing and four touchdowns and
therefore the Ravens were back, winning twenty eight to six
over the Miami Dolphins on the hardwood, your champs. The
Oklahoma City Thunder still undefeated easy win one twenty seven
win await over the Whiz they're now six and Zho
Warriors won one twenty one ten over the Bucks on
(16:02):
the ice, lots of overtime red Wings with a shootout
win four to three over the Kings, Blues with a
shootout loss to the Canucks four to three. Sabers lost
in overtime four to three to the Bruins. Three games
four to three, all overtime, lightning one and overtime two
to one over the Stars, and only the Preds can
lose like men and regulation getting dominated by the Flyers
(16:26):
in Philadelphia four to one. Birthdays today, Deuce Bigelow, Rob Schneider,
big Fan sixty two years old, Rapper Ice Ice baby
Vanilla Ice is sixty fifty eight, and the coach Nick
Saban is seventy four years old. Today, if it's your birthday,
Happy birthday, We're so glad you were born. A visit
with John Decker and a little one on one time
with you in emails when your morning show continues.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Next, this is your morning show with Michael Deltrono.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
To emails and you can always email me. Michael d.
We spare you the spelling of del jorno, although it's
not that different than the pizza. Michael di atiheartmedia dot Com.
Chris writes, I finally found your show. I've missed you
in Nashville. I've missed you and David do. Glad you're
on the air and a better place. Keep up the
good work. God bless you. Can you believe that two
(17:19):
years and they're just finding us. We need some advertising.
Michael loved your show one hundred percent until this morning.
Brett Bear is a deep state operative, so sad to
see him on your show. Please be careful who you
host Fox Brett or how you use words to describe him.
(17:42):
I don't I don't see it. Here's another one that
just found us, Colton Wentz. Colton writes, Michael, I've been
listening to you since twenty eighteen when you were on nine.
I started in two thousand and seven. You missed eleven
(18:04):
years there too. I listened to you every day on
my morning drive from Knoxville to Nashville. When you left,
I was devastated. You and Uncle Phil were the reason
I we leased to have an afternoon guy named Phil
Valentine who was he was special and now live in Chattanooga.
And I'm so glad I found your show. You truly
are a huge influence in my life. Peace and Colton.
That means every That's better than a paycheck. By the way,
(18:27):
that shameless reminder, you know you can You can share
with friends about this show if you really like it
and you think they'd like it. We'd love to grow
at the table at your morning show. And there's nothing
more powerful than your word of mouth. Why in the world, Michael,
did they wait till the last minute to produce all
the negative comments that mom, Donnie's mother and father and
(18:50):
he have made hope They didn't wait till it was
too late to stop him from winning. Unbelievable, Meredith, Yeah,
it's it's pretty bizarre. I mean, you would think his
opponents would have revealed the radical views of his father
(19:11):
quotes of his mother long before this. But then again,
he's really running as a socialist communist is lomist for
everyone to see, and it doesn't seem to matter. I mean,
I guess the tougher question I could ask back at you.
Even though it's come out, now, do you think it matters?
He still leads by ten points at the polls are accurate.
(19:32):
All right, it is day thirty one of the government shutdown.
There's a lot of pressure coming. Trump is urging Republicans
and the filibuster. I suspect that's what the Democrats play
has been all along, Delton. United Airlines are pressure in
Congress to end this shutdown, and the Dems are now
fighting with workers unions. Something's got to give. But whatever
gives can't give until Monday. Our White House correspondent John
(19:53):
Decker is here with the very latest down the government
shutdown and the President, who's home to urge this on
Good Morning, John.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
The President actually leaving Washington this morning, is going to
spend the weekend in South Florida some much needed r
and R after that long, week long trip in Asia.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
So he won't be.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Getting involved, at least personally today with the government shutdown,
as you point out, Michael, now in day thirty one,
but this weekend, some deadlines will be upon us. That's
the deadline. When those Snap benefits go away, funding for
it goes away. That affects one out of eight Americans.
In addition to that, the Obamacare Exchange opens up for
(20:34):
individuals that purchase their insurance through the ACA website, and
that too will be something that will be problematic for
a number of individuals because premiums will go up an
average of thirty percent over what they paid last year
for their insurance premiums.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Why because thirty percent has been subsidized to the insurance companies, right, so,
test payers, we're paying that thirty percent since the pandemic.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
So that's something that was actually brought upon because of
an external factor. And what Republicans feel as it relates
to those subsidies is the pandemic is over and.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The subsidies are no longer necessary. John Decker is our
White House correspondent. John, I remember when this all began
and I was seeing people post on social media and
I don't and again, I'll said it earlier, I'll say
it again. I don't find these people stupid. I just
think they're ignorant in reposting what other people have said
and they don't know that it's inaccurate. But the notion was,
(21:32):
why on earth there, you know, are they trying to
blame the Democrats for this shutdown? The Republicans control the
White House, they control the Senate, they controlled how Yeah,
but you need sixty percent to cover the filibuster in
the Senate. So the House passes these bills for continuing
resolution over and over again, but the Senate can't prove
them because there's not sixty Republicans. Well, the President wants
that addressed, and he wants that addressed by ending the filibuster,
(21:55):
which can be done. But once it's done, it's done,
and some are suspicious that's what maybe the Democrats have
been fighting for.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Well, look, you know, if you get rid of the
filibuster role, which the Senate likes.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
They like to refer to themselves.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
As the most deliberative body in the world. That means
that if Democrats regain control of the US Senate, they
could use the filibuster and they could use actually what
would be necessary, which is a simple majority fifty plus one,
just like occurs in the House of Representatives. So that's
(22:29):
what's at stake. We'll see what Johnston, the leader for
the Senate, decides to do based upon that social media
post that was put out by the President around eleven
o'clock last night. But you know, look, that's another added
element to day thirty one of this government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Final minute. Let's spend it on this, and this kind
of leans a little towards who's to blame or who
does the public think is to blame. I've got research
later that's going to show neither party looks very good
heading into the midterm. There's a fifty seven percent of
a mayor that thinks both parties are too extreme. But
pressure on the snap running out, pressure from the airlines
(23:08):
as we head into travel season, pressure from the unions themselves,
and now pressure from the president. Who's the pressure on
more to end this? Democrats are Republicans.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
That's a great question. You know, I don't know the
answer to that. You know, I've heard that there are
some Senate Democrats that say, hey, let's wait and see
how Democrats do in this upcoming Tuesday election as it
relates to the governor's races in New.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Jersey and Virginia. If Democrats, they.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Say, win those races, let's declare victory. Let's come to
the negotiating table. Let's compromise. Let's send the shutdown so
a lot Michael could depend upon what the results are
this coming Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Appreciate it. Great reporting is always if you want to
know more inside the belt, weigh what's happening at the
White House. I have a podcast for you, The White
House Briefing Room, hosted by John Decker. It'll be up
by nine Eastern eighth Central later this morning. John, have
a great week, and I know it's been a busy week.
God bless you. Michael breaking hiight forty two minutes after
the ore, just waking up. King Charles not only stripped
(24:09):
Prince Andrew of his title, he evicted him too.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Bunckingham Palace made the announcement on Thursday. The Palace also
said that a formal notice had been served for Andrew
to leave his home at the Royal Lodge close to
Windsor Castle. The change has come as the Royal faces
growing pressure over his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I'm mart Neefield. A group of Senate Democrats want a
complete accounting of all the donors and donations to the
White House ballroom construction project.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
The groups being led by Senator Adam Schiff, who wrote
a letter to a White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles,
demanding the details, as well as information about any conditions
underlying those contributions. While the President has defended the project
as being privately funded, a Democrat lawmakers warned that the
identities of the individual and corporate donors has raised troubling
(24:57):
questions about the potential for in luence peddling in other
forms of corruption. The lawmaker's one answer is by November fifth,
I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
All right. So early voting continues in New York City
and the mayor's race. All the candidates seem to have
a lot of energy. Still, the constituents, the citizens, they're
getting tired.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
New Yorkers say they've just about had it with hearing
from candidates who have been campaigning this week and a
lasted je effort to pick up support from undecided voters.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I've got any touch messes.
Speaker 9 (25:28):
I got email, and I shall delete it.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Don't pick off.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Too much emails asking for donations, asking for my preferential candidate,
stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
But they just overwhelmed my text messages. You know, they
come knocking your door.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Two recently released polls show Mom Donnie continues to lead
the pack, with Cuomo lagging by ten percentage points and
Curtius Lee while maintaining support in the teens. I'm Natalie Migliori,
NBC News Radio.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Why do I get the feeling this next story is
going to cost me a lot of money?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Oone you t TV.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Morgan Wallen will return to stadiums across the country next summer.
The Country Superstar will Kickoff is Still the Problem Tour

flat Land Cavalry. Fans can register for tickets in pre
sale starting on November the fifth. South Park releasing a
new episode tonight on Halloween Night. And I don't think
anybody at the White House is going to be a
big fan Holloween Night, I am speaking to the entity
in this House.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
It takes on President Trump's demolition of part of the
White House to build a massive ballroom titled The Woman
in the Hat. The show is the second episode of
the new season twenty eight of the long running animated hit.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Solf Tar.
Speaker 11 (27:04):
It'll hit Comedy Central at ten pm Friday, instead of
the show's usual Wednesday night time slot.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I'm Michael Casner. So last night my wife makes me
sit down and watch the original Halloween. Couldn't believe I
had never seen it. No, everybody, Adam loved it, Red
loved it. I thought it was awful. I get the
(27:31):
feeling is all generated by the camera being the eyes
of Michael, you know, and that starts being everything through
the movie, and then that same piano aggressive, But it
was just so some things just don't translate. But according
to Rotten Tomatoes, it ranked all the movies in the
Halloween franchise. Now this scared me to death because I
(27:53):
didn't realize there was more than one, And if I'm
forced to watch another one, that could be a real
problem this week for me. Halloween's about the candy. It's
the only time I see heath bars around the house.
But anyway, The Halloween Original nineteen seventy eight John Carpenter
ninety seven percent Rotten Tomatoes critics, saying it's still set
(28:13):
the standard for modern horror films. Coming in second place
was the twenty eighteen reboot, which brings back original star
Jamie Lee Curtis. And then I think in that episode
is the one that she unmasks Michael for us all
to finally see and it's actually Mike Myers from Austin Powers. No,
it's not. It has a seventy nine percent rating. And
coming in third was the seventh film in the series,
(28:36):
Halloween h two O, which has only a fifty four
percent rating the ninety seven percent Rotten Tomatoes for a
movie I thought was a rotten last night, but what
all I know? Well, Lamar Jackson was back two hundred
yards passing four touchdowns. A lot of pushtushing are tush pushing?
(28:57):
Lamar Jackson was back and the Ravens for back twenty
eight t easy over the Dolphins on Thursday Night football
on the Ice, a lot of four to three to games,
a lot of overtime games, even a couple of shootouts.
Red Wings with a shootout four to three win over
the Kings. Blues lost four to three in a shootout
to the Knucks. Sabers lost in overtime four to three
to the Bruins and the Lightning one two to one
in overtime over the Stars Spreads. They were able to
(29:18):
get beat up in regulation, losing four to one to
the Flyers. Thunder Now six to zero with an easy
win in the Hardwood won twenty seven, went awight over
the Wizards, Warriors won twenty one ten by ten over
the Bucks, and tonight game six of the World Series,
it could end in Canada tonight, Toronto up three games
to two at home, but they'll have to beat the Dodgers.
As seven o'clock first pitch on Fox, Deuice Bigelow, star
(29:42):
Rob Schneider sixty two, rapper Vanilla Ice fifty eight. Today
actor Dermott mulrooney is sixty two, and the coach Nick
Saban is seventy four years old. Today for It's your Birthday,
Happy Birthday. We are so glad you were born.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltono.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
US and China apparently are finalizing an agreement on a
TikTok deal that'll keep the app available. At least fifty
people and rising have died in the Caribbean after being
battered by Hurricane Melissa and the government shutdown now enters
its thirty first day on this Friday, October the thirty first.
Probably the biggest story is from the Wall Street Journal
(30:28):
that President Trump is home and he's urging Republicans stand
the filibuster in order to reopen the government. This brings
up several different scenarios. There are about three or four
ways to do it. One way would be, as Harry
Reid showed us, the nuclear option, meaning it would just
apply to this, or you can get rid of the
(30:50):
filibuster altogether. And at that point, now listen, it's in
the eye of the beholder. Some would tell you, you know,
the House can make bills, the Senate approves them, and
a simple majority just means that that's how business should
be done. And who has that majority? As decided by
(31:12):
the people, as it should be. Now, the fear is
that the you know, Republicans would presumably at least for
a year until after the midterm election, just have this
unbelievable ability to do whatever they want because at that point,
unlike what ignorant people bought from the Democrats, they would
have control of the White House, the People's House of Representatives,
(31:36):
and the Senate. But if the midterms should go to Democrats,
they would then have unlimited power. Or maybe the House
would go one way, the Senate would go another, and
you'd end up with a true check and balance, or
even if the House and the Senate went one way
and the White House went another. I mean, there's several
(31:56):
ways for this to play out, but the suspicion, and again,
it could just I actually think it's all of the
above to some degree, which is something people are always
the last to see. I think the most obvious motive
(32:16):
is the left, the far left, which is now socialist
obsessed in Trump derangement. They came, they came to the
conclusion that they lost because they haven't fought Trump hard enough,
no matter how many times people shoot at him, no
matter howny times they drug them to court. They don't
think they fought hard enough. And that's certainly the problem
(32:43):
that they have the far left controlling the entire party.
And that's why you're seeing Governor Hokel making her governor's
race a question mark because she's supporting Mom Donnie. Because
the far left is running the roost. So maybe they're
holding out. They don't care about the American people and
the way the American people voted, they don't care that
(33:06):
ten of them supported this clean continuing resolution in March. No,
they're going to fight, fight, fight, obstruct, obstruct, obstruct, and
this is where checks and balances turns into dysfunction. I
think that's what has driven this. What could have been
another motive, well, ultimately to get the filibuster lifted in
(33:27):
such a way that if they can get control. But
that leads me to this, the American people don't have
a really good view. I think the headline was a
dim view of either party heading into the midterms. And
this becomes relevant because it's Halloween tonight. Then we get
(33:50):
right into Thanksgiving mode and Christmas mode, and then we
just fly through the holidays and next thing you know,
the ball drops and it's a new year, and it's
everything goes on the campaign for the midterm. It's here,
where are the American people right now? Because not much
is going to change between now and really the first
(34:12):
half of the midterm campaign, which will be driven by
the shutdown. According to Pew Research, a year ahead of
the midterms, Americans have dim views of both parties. Thirty
nine percent of Americans described the Republican Party as governing
ethically and honestly roughly the same share at forty two percent,
(34:35):
within the margin of vers say the same about Democrats.
But here's the bottom line. Majorities continue to view both
parties as too extreme in their positions, sixty one percent
for the GOP, fifty seven percent for the Democrats. Remember
our analogies of nineteen sixty eight and what got us
out of it us seeing the violence and growing weary
(34:59):
of it. Enough with the fighting and killing. But there
was also Richard Nixon after Robert Kennedy was killed, talking
to the center, the sensible center. That's a lane that's
developing for the midterms. We'll have more on that next hour.
Stay with us.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindheld, Joan no
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happierre
here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael o'
deel chrono.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Seven minutes after the hour. It is Halloween Friday, October
the thirty first. You have our Lord twenty twenty five
on the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show, This is your day, this is
your morning show. Can't have it without your voice. Don't
forget the talkback button. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio AP,
there's a microphone. Press it. You don't rot on hold anymore.
In talk radio, you got thirty seconds to make a
(00:51):
common ask a question and get right to the front
of the line and take your place at this morning's
kitchen table. So use the talkback putton, or you can
email Michael d at iHeartMedia. Well, a lot of pressure mounting,
Trump urging Republicans to end the filibuster to reopen the government.
Delton United calling on Congress to immediately end the shutdown.
(01:11):
Holiday travelers upon us, and the Dems continue to fight
with the federal workers unions that continues to brew. These
are all the things that one might hope would get
Congress to do its job and fund the government and
reopen the government. As we enter day thirty one, Roy O'Neil,
(01:31):
our national correspondent, is joining us. Did I miss anything
in that summary? Rory?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Only that now the House and Senate are nowhere to
be found in Washington.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Well, nothing can happen on Monday, right.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
The Senate is skipped down after a couple of votes yesterday,
so they're done. The House, of course, hasn't been in
session for the month, with Speaker Johnson saying, look, we
did our job, we passed the continuing Resolution. It's up
to the Senate Democrats to come on board and get
the govern reopened. They say that once they get past
that reopen things, then they'll talk about trying to extend
(02:06):
those subsidies for the Obamacare insurance programs.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I don't think people are stupid. I think people are
sometimes ignorant and they're not the same thing. They may
focus on other things in life and they don't study
politics the way we do and so on. But I
remember the early posts on social media, how can you
blame this on anybody but the Republicans. They have control
of the House, the Senate, the White House. If the
government shut down, it's got to be their fault. And
(02:31):
of course no, there's the filibuster, and you need sixty
votes that you don't have sixty Republican senators. But that's
what the president's calling on them to a end. And
I'm wondering, reds are wondering. We're wondering. If you're wondering,
if that's exactly what the Democrats have wanted all along,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think they've really just been dragging it out, waiting
for the insurance bills to come out, which was this week,
and you know they're open enrollment now for the Obamacare
policy starts tomorrow. I think people are seeing the numbers
of what it's going to cost them for their health
insurance next year. I think that was the tactic, to
wait this long for this.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That's a good point, although see Barack Obama on that, right,
what's that? That's a great point, But see Barack Obama
on that. It never did insure everyone, It never did
lower premiums, it never did increase the quality of care.
We've just been subsidizing it to the insurance companies.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
That's, you know, because the first word of the ACA
is supposed to be affordable, right back where it has failed. Yeah,
no one is really addressing that though. But look, there's
been a lot more pressure on Republicans saying, well, what's
your plan? And you know, it was five years ago
when President Trump told us two weeks, I'll show you
my brilliant healthcare plan. So we're still you know, we
(03:45):
haven't seen alternatives either.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Roy O'Neil joining us, our national correspondent. Just tragedy everywhere
you look. So we are now reporting fifty and I
suspect that may grow dead across the Caribbean after hur
acute Melissa.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Melissa was a tough one, indeed, And as you said,
the sun is starting to come up again. Maybe it's
another day of search and rescue operations, but then it
becomes search and recovery probably early next week.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And there's still just a lot we don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
They've really had to struggle using machetes, trying to clear roads,
and just being able to try to get first responsors
to some of these more remote parts of the western
side of the island.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You know, I remember a time when you used to
hate me, and now you just greatly dislike me. But
I want you to know this came from red because
I think we're starting to bond. He wants to know
why you haven't done a study on America's radiest cities
because Los Angeles overtook Chicago.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, no, I share well.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I shared that with our California colleagues offered that yesterday
that yeah, there is a change. I think five of
the top ten are all in California.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So take that newsom All right, Rory's gonna be back
at the third hour with a real story. It's Halloween,
a holiday that now has significant impact on more than
just and costumes. He'll tell you what when we come back.
I mentioned we can't have your morning show without your voice.
We would never have your Morning It's more than just
a name. It's by design. There's enough people on the
(05:12):
air that think they are the smartest thing on earth,
and you're just so lucky to overhear their voice. I'm
not that person. I want this show to always belong
to you and us who serve you, so please email
use that talkback button. We'd love to have you on
the show like this one. We got one from Youngstown
Morning Michael.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I'm old enough to remember when I grew up with
three VHF stations in two or three UHF stations at
the news hour. That's all that was on TV anywhere, say,
and a choice of Concrete or Huntley Brinkley. I don't
you remember if there's anybody else, we didn't have a
thousand channels to pick from.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm trying to remember. Growing up in Chicago. We had
Channel two WBBM, a channel seven WLS, we had Channel
nine WGN and leaving somebody out. I don't even remember
who the other one was. ABC was WLCBA. I don't
remember who the NBC was. Oh, I think it was
a channel five, so two, five, seven, and nine. And
(06:14):
then we had Channel thirty two and channel forty four
on BHS. That was it. And most of my shows,
believe it or not, like you know, Brady Bune, Partridge Family, Gilgans,
they were all on UHF. And our TV was black
and white, which was a real problem. When the Browns
played the Bengals. You couldn't tell who was who. You know,
(06:36):
looking back, and what he's referencing is our conversation that
we're gonna do right now in the ratings. I do
remember in childhood my dad loving Bonanza. We were like
a Bonanza house and I just couldn't do it, so
I'd sit there and play with my football cards or
I do remember we were a Carson family, not a
(06:56):
Dick Cabot family. I remember we were a McDonald's family.
In fact, in Arlington Heights, by the racetrack Arlington Park
that's no longer there. That's where they're gonna build the
Bear Stadium. They shared a parking lot, so you had
McDonald's and then right next door was Burger King, and
I remember we would always sit in McDonald's and eat,
and I'd stare over and there'd be like one person
(07:17):
at Burger King. And I remember asking my dad one time,
who eats at Burger King? Sixty years later, I prefer
Burger King over McDonald's, and I don't really go to
either very much, so I remember being a McDonald's family,
not a Burger King family, a Carson family, not a
Dick Cavot family. And I can tell you this, we
(07:38):
were a Frank Reynolds family. We worked Alter croneitit family.
In fact, Frank Reynolds what a voice. Now all time
favorite anchor for me was Peter Jennings. But we were
like a Frank Reynolds family or Walter Cronkay. But just
to put this whole conversation in perspective, and this is
(07:58):
how it came up. When Walter Cronkite was on in
the late seventies and before he signed off in nineteen eighty,
he had fifty fifty three million viewers every evening for
the CBS Evening News fifty three million. Today CBS has
(08:25):
three million. So from my junior year in high school
to talking to you this morning, CBS alone has lost
fifty million viewers. I mean, you ought to line up
all of their news directors and all of their CEOs
(08:46):
from nineteen eighty to today and do a scene out
of alkyrie. Now you and I know journalism's dad. They
lost trust, they lost credibility. One of the great stories
is Jake Tapper coming to the conclusion that the gen
Z has been lost forever to the right. Why the
(09:07):
left went too far shoving leftist propaganda and agenda down
their throat, COVID being the final struck. He's right, but
that's what killed the networks too, So it's killing Hollywood,
especially the last two years. I mean, I would have
(09:29):
never told you Robert janiro was my favorite actor, but
if you brought up five to ten of my all
time favorite movies, he happens to be in them, if
not directed them. Gene Hackman will always probably be my favorite,
but I can't watch any of them. I can't watch
Goodfellows because I can't stomach him that they had just
(09:53):
shut their mouths Now. The other thing that's killed celebrity
is is that everyday Americans think they're a celebrity. I mean,
they're doing videos on their social media, they're doing a podcast.
I see people every day doing podcasts like they're professional
radio hosts, and they think they are. In fact, they've
(10:15):
got egos, and I don't. Are you trying to tell
me that influencers aren't famous? Well, when I do the
birthdays every day, do you know I'm trying to do
that without a no? Do you know that eighty percent
of the celebrity birthdays are influencers, they're podcasters, or just
you know. It's crazy. All right, So here's the big picture,
(10:36):
because now I'm down to three minutes. Who's winning at news?
The answer first and foremost, number one takeaway is Fox
three point two eight million, And I mean winning. That's
over ABC, that's over CBS, that's over NBC, that's over MSNBC,
that's over CNN. They're the king, not CNN, who began Fox.
(10:59):
When you go inside the Fox success, which we spent
most of our time talking about, don't miss the biggest
story that ABC is at three million or three point
twenty five million, CBS is at three million, NBC's at
three million. These networks at once set fifty million are
down at three million, and they can't even beat a
(11:22):
cable news network. But inside the cable news Fox success,
sixty three percent of all cable news is Fox's the
pretty dominant victories. Now, who's winning within Fox? The five
is far and away the runaway winner. After the five,
(11:42):
Jesse and then Gutfeldt, which I thought might have been second,
if not first, but available audience at late at night,
I guess, parsaid Sean Handy's in dead last, and Special
Report with Brett Bher comes in fourth, which suggests that
America doesn't really want news anymore. News isn't enough. It's
(12:08):
not even a desired appetizer. Do you ever go to
a restaurant and feel sorry for all the appetizers that
never get ordered? I do, Like, how would you like
to be one of the other appetizers at out back?
Nobody orders you? Everybody gets the blooming onion. Sad, but
I digress. No, they want their they want their news entertainment,
(12:35):
not news. They want their news outrage. I remember what
Brett Bear said in our Spotlight interview. I just want
to talk to Republican Democrats and see what they're working
on as opposed to what they're fighting about. Isn't the
same true with news? Isn't news one big fight you're witnessing?
I mean it's created the matrix and two alternate realities
(12:56):
and universes. Those that watch CNN and MSNBC and those
that watch Fox, same day, same events, completely different experience
because they're more interested in fighting than informing, outraging and
raging than informing. I mean, is it only lost on
(13:18):
everyone but me? That of the other of the only
people trying to really do news. Right, Brett Behar, you
get to be in fourth place. I mean time will
tell right. CBS wants to fix itself. I don't think.
I don't think like the CDC, it can never regain
the trust of the American people. But good luck trying.
(13:39):
But what if you do it, and you do it successfully,
You don't just make people believe you're doing it and then,
like Walter Cronkite, secretly you're a lefty, but it never
comes on the air. You really do it and nobody
wants it. See, it's easy for us to come to
the conclusion. You know what our problem is our pop
(14:00):
politicians would rather fight that serve us and get anything done.
What if we'd rather fight then get things done. There's
a lot of this going around. That's why I say
the biggest flaw in the Palestinian peace agreement. What if
(14:20):
the Palestinian people aren't peaceful. What if deep down they
like a thug. What if deep down they want every
Jew killed, they want Israel to not exist, they want
every Christian killed, and they want America not to exist.
That doesn't matter who's overseeing it. They're not being controlled
by thugs. They are thugs. Are we being controlled by thugs?
(14:41):
Or are we thugs? I mean, there's a lot more
than just ratings in here.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltno.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Game six tonight back in Toronto, the Blue Jays leading
three games to two. They gotta beat the chance. I know,
remember the old John Madden the champs till somebody beat you.
They haven't beat the champship, and the champs are gonna
throw their ace tonight. But there is something about this
Blue Jays team. They just don't have any nerves. It
doesn't make any sense on paper, It doesn't make sense
(15:17):
looking at them. Half of them don't even look like
professional athletes. And I don't know why. Everything in my
gut tells me the Blue Jays are gonna win in
six games, and I had the Dodgers winning in four.
I will say this, I agree with Adam. If the
Blue Jays lose tonight, they'll definitely lose Game seven. But
I actually think it could end tonight. Blue Jays Dodgers
World Series Game six tonight at seven on Fox on
(15:40):
Thursday Night Football, Lamar Jackson was back. That's two hundred
yards passing a lot of pushtushing and four touchdowns and
therefore the Ravens were back, winning twenty eight to six
over the Miami Dolphins on the hardwood, your champs. The
Oklahoma City Thunder still undefeated easy win one twenty seven
win await over the Whiz they're now six and Zho
Warriors won one twenty one ten over the Bucks on
(16:02):
the ice, lots of overtime red Wings with a shootout
win four to three over the Kings, Blues with a
shootout loss to the Canucks four to three. Sabers lost
in overtime four to three to the Bruins. Three games
four to three, all overtime, lightning one and overtime two
to one over the Stars, and only the Preds can
lose like men and regulation getting dominated by the Flyers
(16:26):
in Philadelphia four to one. Birthdays today, Deuce Bigelow, Rob Schneider,
big Fan sixty two years old, Rapper Ice Ice baby
Vanilla Ice is sixty fifty eight, and the coach Nick
Saban is seventy four years old. Today, if it's your birthday,
Happy birthday, We're so glad you were born. A visit
with John Decker and a little one on one time
with you in emails when your morning show continues.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Next, this is your morning show with Michael Deltrono.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
To emails and you can always email me. Michael d.
We spare you the spelling of del jorno, although it's
not that different than the pizza. Michael di atiheartmedia dot Com.
Chris writes, I finally found your show. I've missed you
in Nashville. I've missed you and David do. Glad you're
on the air and a better place. Keep up the
good work. God bless you. Can you believe that two
(17:19):
years and they're just finding us. We need some advertising.
Michael loved your show one hundred percent until this morning.
Brett Bear is a deep state operative, so sad to
see him on your show. Please be careful who you
host Fox Brett or how you use words to describe him.
(17:42):
I don't I don't see it. Here's another one that
just found us, Colton Wentz. Colton writes, Michael, I've been
listening to you since twenty eighteen when you were on nine.
I started in two thousand and seven. You missed eleven
(18:04):
years there too. I listened to you every day on
my morning drive from Knoxville to Nashville. When you left,
I was devastated. You and Uncle Phil were the reason
I we leased to have an afternoon guy named Phil
Valentine who was he was special and now live in Chattanooga.
And I'm so glad I found your show. You truly
are a huge influence in my life. Peace and Colton.
That means every That's better than a paycheck. By the way,
(18:27):
that shameless reminder, you know you can You can share
with friends about this show if you really like it
and you think they'd like it. We'd love to grow
at the table at your morning show. And there's nothing
more powerful than your word of mouth. Why in the world, Michael,
did they wait till the last minute to produce all
the negative comments that mom, Donnie's mother and father and
(18:50):
he have made hope They didn't wait till it was
too late to stop him from winning. Unbelievable, Meredith, Yeah,
it's it's pretty bizarre. I mean, you would think his
opponents would have revealed the radical views of his father
(19:11):
quotes of his mother long before this. But then again,
he's really running as a socialist communist is lomist for
everyone to see, and it doesn't seem to matter. I mean,
I guess the tougher question I could ask back at you.
Even though it's come out, now, do you think it matters?
He still leads by ten points at the polls are accurate.
(19:32):
All right, it is day thirty one of the government shutdown.
There's a lot of pressure coming. Trump is urging Republicans
and the filibuster. I suspect that's what the Democrats play
has been all along, Delton. United Airlines are pressure in
Congress to end this shutdown, and the Dems are now
fighting with workers unions. Something's got to give. But whatever
gives can't give until Monday. Our White House correspondent John
(19:53):
Decker is here with the very latest down the government
shutdown and the President, who's home to urge this on
Good Morning, John.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
The President actually leaving Washington this morning, is going to
spend the weekend in South Florida some much needed r
and R after that long, week long trip in Asia.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
So he won't be.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Getting involved, at least personally today with the government shutdown,
as you point out, Michael, now in day thirty one,
but this weekend, some deadlines will be upon us. That's
the deadline. When those Snap benefits go away, funding for
it goes away. That affects one out of eight Americans.
In addition to that, the Obamacare Exchange opens up for
(20:34):
individuals that purchase their insurance through the ACA website, and
that too will be something that will be problematic for
a number of individuals because premiums will go up an
average of thirty percent over what they paid last year
for their insurance premiums.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Why because thirty percent has been subsidized to the insurance companies, right, so,
test payers, we're paying that thirty percent since the pandemic.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
So that's something that was actually brought upon because of
an external factor. And what Republicans feel as it relates
to those subsidies is the pandemic is over and.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The subsidies are no longer necessary. John Decker is our
White House correspondent. John, I remember when this all began
and I was seeing people post on social media and
I don't and again, I'll said it earlier, I'll say
it again. I don't find these people stupid. I just
think they're ignorant in reposting what other people have said
and they don't know that it's inaccurate. But the notion was,
(21:32):
why on earth there, you know, are they trying to
blame the Democrats for this shutdown? The Republicans control the
White House, they control the Senate, they controlled how Yeah,
but you need sixty percent to cover the filibuster in
the Senate. So the House passes these bills for continuing
resolution over and over again, but the Senate can't prove
them because there's not sixty Republicans. Well, the President wants
that addressed, and he wants that addressed by ending the filibuster,
(21:55):
which can be done. But once it's done, it's done,
and some are suspicious that's what maybe the Democrats have
been fighting for.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
Well, look, you know, if you get rid of the
filibuster role, which the Senate likes.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
They like to refer to themselves.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
As the most deliberative body in the world. That means
that if Democrats regain control of the US Senate, they
could use the filibuster and they could use actually what
would be necessary, which is a simple majority fifty plus one,
just like occurs in the House of Representatives. So that's
(22:29):
what's at stake. We'll see what Johnston, the leader for
the Senate, decides to do based upon that social media
post that was put out by the President around eleven
o'clock last night. But you know, look, that's another added
element to day thirty one of this government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Final minute. Let's spend it on this, and this kind
of leans a little towards who's to blame or who
does the public think is to blame. I've got research
later that's going to show neither party looks very good
heading into the midterm. There's a fifty seven percent of
a mayor that thinks both parties are too extreme. But
pressure on the snap running out, pressure from the airlines
(23:08):
as we head into travel season, pressure from the unions themselves,
and now pressure from the president. Who's the pressure on
more to end this? Democrats are Republicans.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
That's a great question. You know, I don't know the
answer to that. You know, I've heard that there are
some Senate Democrats that say, hey, let's wait and see
how Democrats do in this upcoming Tuesday election as it
relates to the governor's races in New.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Jersey and Virginia. If Democrats, they.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Say, win those races, let's declare victory. Let's come to
the negotiating table. Let's compromise. Let's send the shutdown so
a lot Michael could depend upon what the results are
this coming Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Appreciate it. Great reporting is always if you want to
know more inside the belt, weigh what's happening at the
White House. I have a podcast for you, The White
House Briefing Room, hosted by John Decker. It'll be up
by nine Eastern eighth Central later this morning. John, have
a great week, and I know it's been a busy week.
God bless you. Michael breaking hiight forty two minutes after
the ore, just waking up. King Charles not only stripped
(24:09):
Prince Andrew of his title, he evicted him too.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Bunckingham Palace made the announcement on Thursday. The Palace also
said that a formal notice had been served for Andrew
to leave his home at the Royal Lodge close to
Windsor Castle. The change has come as the Royal faces
growing pressure over his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I'm mart Neefield. A group of Senate Democrats want a
complete accounting of all the donors and donations to the
White House ballroom construction project.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
The groups being led by Senator Adam Schiff, who wrote
a letter to a White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles,
demanding the details, as well as information about any conditions
underlying those contributions. While the President has defended the project
as being privately funded, a Democrat lawmakers warned that the
identities of the individual and corporate donors has raised troubling
(24:57):
questions about the potential for in luence peddling in other
forms of corruption. The lawmaker's one answer is by November fifth,
I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
All right. So early voting continues in New York City
and the mayor's race. All the candidates seem to have
a lot of energy. Still, the constituents, the citizens, they're
getting tired.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
New Yorkers say they've just about had it with hearing
from candidates who have been campaigning this week and a
lasted je effort to pick up support from undecided voters.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I've got any touch messes.
Speaker 9 (25:28):
I got email, and I shall delete it.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Don't pick off.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Too much emails asking for donations, asking for my preferential candidate,
stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
But they just overwhelmed my text messages. You know, they
come knocking your door.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Two recently released polls show Mom Donnie continues to lead
the pack, with Cuomo lagging by ten percentage points and
Curtius Lee while maintaining support in the teens. I'm Natalie Migliori,

new episode tonight on Halloween Night. And I don't think
anybody at the White House is going to be a
big fan Holloween Night, I am speaking to the entity
in this House.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
It takes on President Trump's demolition of part of the
White House to build a massive ballroom titled The Woman
in the Hat. The show is the second episode of
the new season twenty eight of the long running animated hit.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Solf Tar.
Speaker 11 (27:04):
It'll hit Comedy Central at ten pm Friday, instead of
the show's usual Wednesday night time slot.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I'm Michael Casner. So last night my wife makes me
sit down and watch the original Halloween. Couldn't believe I
had never seen it. No, everybody, Adam loved it, Red
loved it. I thought it was awful. I get the
(27:31):
feeling is all generated by the camera being the eyes
of Michael, you know, and that starts being everything through
the movie, and then that same piano aggressive, But it
was just so some things just don't translate. But according
to Rotten Tomatoes, it ranked all the movies in the
Halloween franchise. Now this scared me to death because I
(27:53):
didn't realize there was more than one, And if I'm
forced to watch another one, that could be a real
problem this week for me. Halloween's about the candy. It's
the only time I see heath bars around the house.
But anyway, The Halloween Original nineteen seventy eight John Carpenter
ninety seven percent Rotten Tomatoes critics, saying it's still set
(28:13):
the standard for modern horror films. Coming in second place
was the twenty eighteen reboot, which brings back original star
Jamie Lee Curtis. And then I think in that episode
is the one that she unmasks Michael for us all
to finally see and it's actually Mike Myers from Austin Powers. No,
it's not. It has a seventy nine percent rating. And
coming in third was the seventh film in the series,
(28:36):
Halloween h two O, which has only a fifty four
percent rating the ninety seven percent Rotten Tomatoes for a
movie I thought was a rotten last night, but what
all I know? Well, Lamar Jackson was back two hundred
yards passing four touchdowns. A lot of pushtushing are tush pushing?
(28:57):
Lamar Jackson was back and the Ravens for back twenty
eight t easy over the Dolphins on Thursday Night football
on the Ice, a lot of four to three to games,
a lot of overtime games, even a couple of shootouts.
Red Wings with a shootout four to three win over
the Kings. Blues lost four to three in a shootout
to the Knucks. Sabers lost in overtime four to three
to the Bruins and the Lightning one two to one
in overtime over the Stars Spreads. They were able to
(29:18):
get beat up in regulation, losing four to one to
the Flyers. Thunder Now six to zero with an easy
win in the Hardwood won twenty seven, went awight over
the Wizards, Warriors won twenty one ten by ten over
the Bucks, and tonight game six of the World Series,
it could end in Canada tonight, Toronto up three games
to two at home, but they'll have to beat the Dodgers.

This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltono.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
US and China apparently are finalizing an agreement on a
TikTok deal that'll keep the app available. At least fifty
people and rising have died in the Caribbean after being
battered by Hurricane Melissa and the government shutdown now enters
its thirty first day on this Friday, October the thirty first.
Probably the biggest story is from the Wall Street Journal
(30:28):
that President Trump is home and he's urging Republicans stand
the filibuster in order to reopen the government. This brings
up several different scenarios. There are about three or four
ways to do it. One way would be, as Harry
Reid showed us, the nuclear option, meaning it would just
apply to this, or you can get rid of the
(30:50):
filibuster altogether. And at that point, now listen, it's in
the eye of the beholder. Some would tell you, you know,
the House can make bills, the Senate approves them, and
a simple majority just means that that's how business should
be done. And who has that majority? As decided by
(31:12):
the people, as it should be. Now, the fear is
that the you know, Republicans would presumably at least for
a year until after the midterm election, just have this
unbelievable ability to do whatever they want because at that point,
unlike what ignorant people bought from the Democrats, they would
have control of the White House, the People's House of Representatives,
(31:36):
and the Senate. But if the midterms should go to Democrats,
they would then have unlimited power. Or maybe the House
would go one way, the Senate would go another, and
you'd end up with a true check and balance, or
even if the House and the Senate went one way
and the White House went another. I mean, there's several
(31:56):
ways for this to play out, but the suspicion, and again,
it could just I actually think it's all of the
above to some degree, which is something people are always
the last to see. I think the most obvious motive
(32:16):
is the left, the far left, which is now socialist
obsessed in Trump derangement. They came, they came to the
conclusion that they lost because they haven't fought Trump hard enough,
no matter how many times people shoot at him, no
matter howny times they drug them to court. They don't
think they fought hard enough. And that's certainly the problem
(32:43):
that they have the far left controlling the entire party.
And that's why you're seeing Governor Hokel making her governor's
race a question mark because she's supporting Mom Donnie. Because
the far left is running the roost. So maybe they're
holding out. They don't care about the American people and
the way the American people voted, they don't care that
(33:06):
ten of them supported this clean continuing resolution in March. No,
they're going to fight, fight, fight, obstruct, obstruct, obstruct, and
this is where checks and balances turns into dysfunction. I
think that's what has driven this. What could have been
another motive, well, ultimately to get the filibuster lifted in
(33:27):
such a way that if they can get control. But
that leads me to this, the American people don't have
a really good view. I think the headline was a
dim view of either party heading into the midterms. And
this becomes relevant because it's Halloween tonight. Then we get
(33:50):
right into Thanksgiving mode and Christmas mode, and then we
just fly through the holidays and next thing you know,
the ball drops and it's a new year, and it's
everything goes on the campaign for the midterm. It's here,
where are the American people right now? Because not much
is going to change between now and really the first
(34:12):
half of the midterm campaign, which will be driven by
the shutdown. According to Pew Research, a year ahead of
the midterms, Americans have dim views of both parties. Thirty
nine percent of Americans described the Republican Party as governing
ethically and honestly roughly the same share at forty two percent,
(34:35):
within the margin of vers say the same about Democrats.
But here's the bottom line. Majorities continue to view both
parties as too extreme in their positions, sixty one percent
for the GOP, fifty seven percent for the Democrats. Remember
our analogies of nineteen sixty eight and what got us
out of it us seeing the violence and growing weary
(34:59):
of it. Enough with the fighting and killing. But there
was also Richard Nixon after Robert Kennedy was killed, talking
to the center, the sensible center. That's a lane that's
developing for the midterms. We'll have more on that next hour.
Stay with us.
