Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey gang, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB and Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning, but glad you're here now for
the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Enjoy 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.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Show with Michael Gilchory.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Welcome morning, and welcome to Thursday, November the thirteenth. You
have ou lo Old twenty twenty five on the air
and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is the
show that belongs to you. This is your morning show,
your talkbacks on the demise of the penny. Today we
honor and remember fondly the penny that went out of

(00:55):
production yesterday. Meanwhile, our longest in history long government shutdown
is over. President Trump signed the funding measure that passed
by the House late afternoon early evening. Hours after it passed,
he signed it into law. The government is now back open.
Speaker Mike Johnson says that a bill compelling the DOJ
to release all of its Jeffrey Epstein case files will

(01:17):
receive a vote in the House on the floor next week.
And the US MINT has officially struck its final penny
and another crummy Thursday night football game? Why did they
do this to poor al Michaels AFC showdown? Is the
two and seven Jets taking on the eight and two
Patriots on Thursday night? Made it?

Speaker 5 (01:36):
Nobody made him sign that contract and walk away from somebody.
Do you know, well, I shouldn't make it personal. Let's
just say by the end of the first quarter, al
Michaels will make more money than you. If you make
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, he makes

(01:57):
it in a quarter. WHOA, let's just stag, isn't it.
That's five years for me.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Well, it's gonna say everybody can do their own math.
But meanwhile, the Olympics are going to be held in
Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight, and there are some
big changes on the schedule, one that will put the
women first. Roy o'nelius here with the story no transgender
is in the Olympics, but not until twenty twenty eight.

(02:24):
Why twenty twenty eight, Well, twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
As you said, the LA Olympics schedule has just been announced,
and that's when they said that for the first time,
a women's event will lead the way. The women's one
hundred meter track final, not the men's final, will open
the first night of metals competition at the Games. And
it's also the Olympics where more than half of the contestants, participants,

(02:48):
athletes are women. Fifty point five percent of the athletes
performing at the LA Olympics in twenty eight will be women.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Now, I doubt you've done this research. If you have,
I'm really import but it has seemed like the last
several Olympics it's been the women that have really catapulted
us to the metal lead. I mean they have been dominant.
A lot of gold to our.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
Women, right absolutely, gymnastics, swimming, things like that. But that
also gets a lot of the TV attention as well,
you know, we get that sort of Yeah, the only
thing they show on TV is when the women win.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Essentially, well, the example that comes to my mind is
in the Winter Games. Scott Hamilton is one of my
closest friends, but I got to tell you, women's figure
skating number one on my list, way more than the men,
and I think it's the same way with gymnastics, and
I would think the ratings would back that up. Now,
this will also be the first Olympics where trans women
will not be allowed to compete against women, right.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
I saw that story come up with I think that
is that for Yeah, okay, I thought that was. What's
interesting is it doesn't go don't we have it? We
have an Olympic game coming up in February of twenty
twenty six.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
I think they're allowed to compete in that one. But
I the first Olympic they will trans women will not
be allowed to compete against other women is the twenty
twenty eight LA Games. And some of that, yes, yeah,
I may have had to do with pressure coming from
the president. Roy's going to be back in the third hour.
We will discuss the government shutdown is finally over. But

(04:15):
when will the pain? I think snap will be the
click the quickest to return air travel. The FAA announced
they're going to halt it at six percent. What does
that translate to? We had nine hundred cancelations yesterday and
two thousand delays. Oh, travel is going to be tough
for a few weeks before it returns normal. Snap probably
a lot quicker, but Royal'll break it down for you

(04:36):
coming up in third hour. Can't have your morning show
without your voice, and we love your voice. I want
to start with Roger Rogers, Ad kste in Sacramento, Good morning.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
Michael Jaffer and read hey, I need to stand up
as the first red soundalike. I was accused of sitting
on a couch with a blanket and a bottle of bourbon.
But in all seriousness, the two things I have come
up with since listening to the show for myself eternity
is a long time to hold a garage. And if
you can't find glimmers of happiness in this lifetime, you'll

(05:07):
never find it in the next. Guys that'll say from
productive day.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
You got it. Keith Green used to do tracks with
Last Day's Ministry and one of them was entitled will
You Be Bored in Heaven? And I can't remember if
it was a Finny or raven Hill or Wilkerson take
on a study, but will You Be Bored in Heaven
is a classic. Might want to google that Bill is
in Tampa Florida Billy.

Speaker 8 (05:29):
As far as the penny goes, I've always wondered how
gas companies can charge nine tenths of a cent at
the end of the gallon price. I mean, what is
with that? So will that go away now that the
penny is gone? Will we now just pay up to

(05:51):
the next penny?

Speaker 4 (05:53):
And hey, here's another thing.

Speaker 9 (05:54):
Have you ever noticed that when you try to round
up to like if you're a with twenty four seven
five and you round up to twenty five, it's always
twenty five in a penny, And like, one penny doesn't
matter to one person, but when you start adding it
up to everybody.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Well, I was thinking more of the marketing, which is,
nothing's twenty five dollars, it's twenty four ninety nine. Now
that's twenty four to ninety nine. They can't do that
anymore John's and Youngstown, PA.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Does this mean we.

Speaker 10 (06:19):
No longer will be able to call women penny that
are named penny.

Speaker 11 (06:24):
We're gonna have to call it nickel or nine or
judy Judy.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Okay, you might be overthinking it now. Jim is in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Speaker 12 (06:32):
Morning, Michael, and I don't know about this penny deal.
If I take fifty six million dollars, divide up by
three hundred and fifty million Americans, that's sixteen cents apiece.
If half the people in America are spenders, then that's
thirty two cents apiece. And I get nicked three cents
on every purchase, rounding up as bad mass.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
You guys, they're overthinking that we're supposed to be paying
tribute to the penny. They're not making the p Lincoln's
just gone. The penny is gone, mostly because it was
four cents to make, and it's only worth a penny.
Nothing can be bought for a penny. But it's gone.
Please morning, it's it's death. Don't think of all the
chaos to come. Let's go to Woody in Arizona.

Speaker 9 (07:15):
We find.

Speaker 13 (07:17):
It's Woody in Peoria, Arizona. You know, I'll still bend
down and pick up a penny. And I've been known
to be called frugal. So what will they call me
when they can't call me a penny pincher anymore?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
I'll call you a cheapskate. That's Joey's in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Speaker 10 (07:37):
Two from Tulsa, I'm guessing was the penny as out circulation.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
All businesses and taxes are going to have to be
rounded up to the nearest nickel. I can't remember who
called last hour. It was Brian, wasn't it? And Oh
Claire Wisconsin uh said if you line up all the change,
only Lincoln is facing in a different direction. Big John
has an explanation.

Speaker 14 (08:03):
Hey, Brian Glock says that Lincoln had a scar on
his face. That's why his head is facing the other way.

Speaker 9 (08:13):
Few people, people have lost your minds, people helping people.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
The big story today is let's put an end to
all this. Forty three days, the longest government shut down
in history is over. The House passed it late in
the afternoon depending on where you're listening to me, early evening,
depending on where you're listening to me, and then the
President signed it just literally about an hour later. Today

(08:37):
we're sending a clear message that will never we will
never give into extortion, the President said. The Democrats tried
to extort our country. The legislation will get our country
working again. The bill passed the Lower Chamber two twenty
two to two oh nine on Wednesday evening. I think
we ended up in the end six Democrats broke ranks.

(08:59):
We did have two or three Republicans that broke rags
and voted against it, but again there were more than
a enough votes in the House to pass it, so
our long government shutdown nightmare is over. We did mention
the end of the penny. The penny first went into
production in seventeen ninety three. Just to give you a sense,
the penny, based on inflation would be what was it

(09:21):
read three dollars and sixteen cents, something like that, So
penny doesn't buy you, don't have to do it. It
was something roughly like that. But the penny lost a
lot of worth over time due to inflation. As you
can imagine. When the penny was first minted in seventeen
ninety three, it could buy you a biscuit. It could
buy you a candle. Candle was light, that was a

(09:41):
big deal. In seventeen ninety three, could buy you a
piece of candy. The problem all these years later, after inflation,
it simply didn't have any worth and it cost four
times as much to mint as it was worth. That's
not good. We do have a poll on mom. Donnie
and I thought this was interesting from the standpoint of
the view of Mam Donnie in New York versus the

(10:04):
view of Mandanni from the nation. Because the left is
taking its cues and energy from Mom Donnie, and so
you're going to see a lot of socialists running across
the country, they won't be received as well. So Rasmussen
does a report, thirty two percent of likely US voters,
based on what they know and they'll know more in

(10:25):
terms of results, they expect Mam Donnie to make life
in New York City better thirty two percent. Unfortunately, thirty
eight percent think he'll make life worse. So you're a
little underwater. Nationally, thirty nine percent of voters nationwide say
it's likely that they would vote for a Democrat socialist
in next year's congressional elections, including circle this eighteen percent

(10:46):
who say it's very likely. Again, well, we used to
talk about the Squad or the justice socialist Democrats that
are trying to take over the party. We used to
estimate they were somewhere around twenty six percent of the party.
Now we've got this new growing islam missed group within
the party, and we don't know how much of that
comes from the socialist squad type sect as well. But

(11:08):
there's eighteen percent who are very likely to vote for
a socialist in the midterm elections, compared that to forty
nine percent who are not likely to vote and thirty
six percent who are not at all likely to do.
So there's your glimpse of how socialism plays when it
gets outside of the big city urban areas. Two to one.
No socialism may sell in Seattle, it may sell in

(11:31):
New York City, it will not sell in the midterm election.
The next view is just purely through the eyes of
the matrix. Thirty eight percent of voters have a favorable
view of Mom Donnie, nineteen percent very favorable, forty two
percent have a unfavorable view, thirty one percent very unfavorable.
So again it's two to one, thirty one percent to

(11:52):
nineteen percent very unfavorable. Sixty three percent of Democrats have
a somewhat favorable view, and as you can imagine, it's
the opposite with the Republicans. So that kind of all
goes through the matrix kind of filter. And then the FAA,
you know, we were going to ramp up to ten
percent flight cancelations at the forty busiest airports or hubs.

(12:15):
The FAA has announced they're going to halt that at
six percent, so it will not get any worse. And
now that the government's open, the question is how long
before things at the airport are normal. And I don't
know if we're going to have time to do this.
If we do, it'll be in the third hour. But
there was a secret meeting that may have ended at
all with the shutdown. We want to tell you about that.
It was some moderate Democrats, without anybody knowing, snuck into

(12:37):
Thune's office and began to without leadership, craft the deal
that under the government shutdown. They could be the heroes
in all of this, presuming you view the government reopening
as something good. All right, those are the main that's
your voice, and that's your top stories, all right. We're
living in a time where truth is under attack. We
don't hunger in thirst for the truth, number one, and

(12:57):
those that do, you're under attack. Eyes are easy to tell,
they're easy to spread, they're even easier to believe. Truth
trids a different story. And nowhere is the cost of
truth greater than for mothers in crisis. When a woman
is told abortion is her only option, Silence and lies
surround her when she walks into a Preborn Network clinic.

(13:20):
She's met with compassion, support, love and truth about her
and the life growing inside of her. That moment of
truth happens through a free ultrasound. The ultrasound is the
game changer. When a mother sees her baby hears its heartbeat,
it literally doubles the chances that she'll choose life. And
if your pro choice, you shouldn't care which choice is made.

(13:43):
Preborn Network clinics are on the front lines, meeting women
in their darkest hour, loving them and standing by them
for years after their decision. We don't tell them to
choose life and then figure out how they're going to
afford diapers. We walk with them and it all starts
with that ultrasound. Just twenty eight dollars provides that one
alterra sound, that one opportunity for the mother to make
the right choice of life. At the end of the year,

(14:05):
giving time, I pray you'll consider giving to preborn I
have for about a decade. Just called pound two fifty
and say baby, pound two fifty and say baby, or
give online at preborn dot com. Forward slash yms stands
for your Warning Show that's preborn dot com. Forward slash
yms or pound two fifty and say baby sponsored by Preborn.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
I think we're having so much fun this morning. We
will not accept a paycheck for Red or Jeffrey. I'm
not having so much fun that I won't accept a paycheck.
I can't do that, but I am going to forego
your paychecks today. I think we're having too much fun.
That's just chart. If you're just waking up. Twenty seven
minutes after the hour, our long national nightmare and government

(14:53):
shutdown is over.

Speaker 15 (14:55):
President Trump signed the funding measure, which was just passed
by the House Wednesday night.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
That you measure FI.

Speaker 15 (15:00):
We made it out of the Senate on Monday after
a handful of Democrats joined Republicans who pass the spending bill,
which extends funding until January thirtieth.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
I'm mark Maaefew. You're going to do it. Jack hang On,
the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, is planning to

to represent my home.

Speaker 16 (15:25):

influencer spoke at the twenty twenty four Democratic National Convention.
He's been a vocal critic of President Trump and his cousin,

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior. I'm Michael Cassner.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Starbucks annual Redcop Day holiday promotion returns today. Tammy Trio

Speaker 17 (15:57):

limit an edition red cup while supplies last. The festive
drink menu includes the Peppermint and Mocha and the Ice

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Pop star Adele will be making her acting debut in
a new film by fashion designer Tom Ford. Ford's third film, Moving,

Grammy winning singer wrapped up for two years of sold
out shows in Las Vegas last year by saying she's

(16:42):
going to take an indefinite break from music, obviously spending
that time acting.

Speaker 10 (16:51):
This is Phoebe from White House and your Morning show
is My Morning Show with Michael o'del giorno.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Hi, it's Michael.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Your Morning Show can be heard weekday mornings in great
cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis, in Nashville, Tennessee.
And we got you covered in California, San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine. We're thrilled you here now enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
I don't know, Mike. When it comes to gambling, you
are known as the mush.

Speaker 14 (17:20):
How does he said he's going to be a lopsided
game about four times already?

Speaker 4 (17:24):
He need a fourteen in the jets? Oh my god, book,
Oh god, I'm light headed. You guys are killing me today.
You really not what's going on? There's something in the
bio rhythms. How does Big John know my nickname was
Mikey Mush because whatever I would bet, I would turn
to Muisch.

Speaker 14 (17:42):
I think he has a better gut feeling than you.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
You know, I I don't know that sports, with all
this gaming, has any integrity left. And I hope none
of you gamble because it's it's a no win situation.
But uh yeah, I would be like you. I would
tend to think the Jets cover it should be so
one sided. But we'll see, that's why they play the game.
But it is a crummy game. I mean, Jet's Patriots. Yeah,

(18:08):
it's the AFC East, but just aren't what they used
to be. Uh, you know, voice the top packs aren't
the only way to make your voice heard on your morning.
So you can also email me Michael di Atiheartmedia dot com. Now,
now we got a new trend going where people are
sending me their picture. So Roy says Michael, good morning
from the mountains of Pennsylvania. Hopefully the early bird gets

(18:30):
the buck. And there's this four wheeler's out in the wood.
Don't shoot Bambi's dad, Roy, That don't make me cry.
People I don't like animals.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
I love.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Blake sent me his picture. I live in Phoenix, actually
an area called awatuki Awa, taki Awa, taki I think
love your show. And since you're wondering what your audience
looks like, here's a pick Blake. I mean, Blake looks
like he could pla a captain, like on a Titanic
movie or on a plane movie. Right, Blake, you are

(19:07):
like a You're a very handsome man. Here I'll show
you Blake's handsome. Blake is playing pickleball. Yeah, he's very
distinguished looking. You're in great shape. You're what I want
to be. Thank you for the picture, Blake. All right,
now it is getting creepy. Does Decker here yet? Michael?
It sounds like the next time I go out to
h Phoenix could have a whole group together.

Speaker 18 (19:29):
Well.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I have often said, you know, we're in a lot
of cities, California, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento.
They seem to like me most in Sacramento, I think
for pretty pretty obvious reasons. I you know, I love
Saint Louis, I love Buffalo, I love I love all
my markets, Memphis, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, I could go through

(19:53):
them all. But anyway, there's something about Youngstown in Phoenix.
I think if I went to those two markets, that
could be a household name. They love me, they dig
me in Phoenix. I can say that now because they
can't this is the hour or no, they can still
hear us this hour, right, and the next hour they
can't hear us them. Yeah, but yeah, you know, some
markets favored me more than others. Our White House correspondent
John Deckert and I is going to be honored at

(20:14):
the Swedish Embassy in Washington, d C. Because he's reached
a rare milestone thirty years covering the White House. Which
what's fascinating about that is, I mean, thirty years is
a long time. So you're talking Clinton to two terms
of Clinton, two terms of Bush, the two terms of

(20:36):
Barack Obama, then you got the Trump Biden Trump again.
I don't trying to think over thirty years. I don't
think it precedes Clinton. I would think it starts to Clinton.
But boy, I mean when you just think about that
amount of time and how things have changed, the Internet,

(20:59):
the death of journalism, the social dilemma, the twenty four
hour news cycle, so many things have changed the way
politics has covered. It'll be fascinating to talk to him
about that. Obviously, the biggest story of the day waking
up the government shutdown is over. Basically, the way this
went down is the House passed it two twenty two
to two oh nine. I think you have six Democrats

(21:20):
who broke they weren't needed, and there was room to
spare for the two Republicans that broke ranks. But it
passed the House two twenty two to two oh nine
late afternoon, just as we predicted it would, and the
President signed it shortly thereafter. It was forty three days.
It's the longest in history, and like all others throughout history,
in the end, air travel seemed to do it in

(21:44):
And speaking of air travel, yesterday we had nine hundred
canceled flights, two thousand delays, and that was when the
FA brought it to six percent. But now the FA
says we're going to freeze it at six percent. With
the government opening, we're going to get back to zero.
So the question is how long before air travel returns
to normal. And it's the end of the penny, which

(22:05):
has a lot of people using the talkback button to
discuss and say goodbye to the penny. And I'm so
sorry I brought that up. All right, here's the man
of the hour, John Decker. He'll be honored at the
Swedish Embassy. Begs the question why the Swedish Embassy and
not the American embassy? After thirty years of covering the
White House, and I was just talking behind your back,

(22:25):
from Bill Clinton to today, how much America has changed,
the media has changed, Presidents have changed, the views of
presidents have changed. I mean, you've seen it all right
firsthand in front of them.

Speaker 10 (22:40):
Yeah, I mean, just as far as the media is concerned.
You know, when I started covering the White House in
nineteen ninety five, there was no Facebook, there was no act,
there was no Politico.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
You know, it was really old school.

Speaker 10 (22:55):
And Bill Clinton, of course was the president and seventeen
press secretaries later that how many I've worked with. I
still enjoy it. I still am energized by it. And
you know, White House press secretaries and presidents tell me
I'm good at it, so I want to doing it.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
I tell you, I tell you you're good at it. That's
talk about the uniqueness of being used to be in
the old days and still is to some degree today.
But that was America's access to presidents. Was you in
that room asking the questions for us. That really doesn't
completely exist today, but that relationship, I mean, I think
that's what really sets the tone is the president kind

(23:33):
of like a pastor, his personality becomes the personality of
a church. A president's personality kind of becomes the administration's
personality in the spoken. But all of the unique press
secretaries you've worked with, give us least and most favorite.

Speaker 10 (23:49):
Well, I'll tell you my most favorite Republican press secretary
and my most favorite Democratic press secretary. My most favorite
Republican Tony Snow who he was former journalist, worked for
George W.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Bush.

Speaker 10 (24:05):
Really an incredibly nice person, but really good at his
job because he understood all the needs of journalists, having
been a journalist himself.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
That's a great choice. And we lost him far too young.
We did, we did. I'm just so sad that he
died from cancer. My favorite Democratic press secretary, my first
press secretary that I work with, a guy named Mike
McCurry who worked for Bill Clinton.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
And Mike had the most difficult job. You can obviously
imagine when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, and he's up
there at the podium having to answer some very difficult
question Monica Lewinsky.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yes, yeah, well then eng and impeachment too, right, absolutely, absolutely.
In terms of presidents, I'm guess you're being positive, so
I should stay positive. Not favorite or worse, but most
memorable moments with presidents over the thirty years.

Speaker 10 (25:00):
Well, I mean there's so many, you know, I think
that you know, and you can actually look for it
on YouTube. It was a viral moment. Do you know
I got bit by Barney President Bush's dog as Scottish terrier.
You can actually see me getting bit on YouTube. I
was a pretty memorable.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
By the way I met Barney, I had no desire.
I wouldn't have been disrespectful, but I no desire to
meet that particular first family. But we were taking the
White House tour and Secret Service was taking Barney out
to go number one or two, and I played with Barney,
hugged Barney. Barney no idea. My life was in danger.
He actually, where do you bite you? I bit me

(25:36):
on my finger.

Speaker 10 (25:37):
You know, I had to get a technis shot, you know,
ant about it, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
His favorite dog is Barney favorite President Barney.

Speaker 10 (25:47):
Well, look, there's so many with President Trump, you know,
I have so many opportunities to ask him questions, And
unlike many in the White House Press Corps, I've known
President Trump for a very long time. That my first
interview with President was back in nineteen ninety nine, so
I'd go back with him for quite some time. And
that's a relationship that you know, continues, the strong relationship

(26:08):
that continues to this day. And he was kind enough
to send a very nice letter, congratulatory letter to me, Michael,
and I very.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Much appreciate that.

Speaker 10 (26:16):
By the way, yeah it President Obama and President George W.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Bush also sent me very nice letters. All right, No,
no letter from Bush, I noticed, Tom. We'll have to
work out.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
There was a letter from Bush. No letter from Clinton
or Biden? Right, Oh, it was Clinton or Biden.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Okay, And I told you if you got one from AOC,
it'd be the trifecta. Well, you did say that. Thirty
years is a long time. I'm glad they're going to
honor you tonight at the Swedish Embassy. Thanks for sharing
this moment in some of the great moments of thirty
years and by the way, as to your favorite moment,
here is Barney attacking John Decker. Listen, on.

Speaker 9 (26:52):
This day, you have a great story to tell.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
What is your story?

Speaker 10 (26:55):
Well, on this day, April Ryan, April Ryan of an American
urban radio I got bit by Barney and unfortunately it
roke the skin and I have to be on antibodictual
for the next two days.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Now, he got bit by Barney. All right, ibout the
congratulations in thirty years and I like, I think you
would agree this last year and a half has probably
been the most special with us.

Speaker 10 (27:18):
It has been. It absolutely has been it. You know,
it never gets old. And you know, my journalistic heroes
are people like Mike Wallace whose last story at sixty
minutes he was eighty eight. Leslie Stahl turns eighty four
next month. So this is a milestone for me, but
I'm going to have many milestones before.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
And he's a textis He's a tennis player who probably
live to be one hundred. Do you want to learn
more about this? The White House Briefing Room with John
Decker podcast. It'll be out nine Eastern, eighth Central. Thanks
for joining us, John god bless, Thanks Michael, You got
it all right. If you're just waking up, our long
national nightmare is over. The government shutdown is no longer.

(27:57):
This was a no brainer.

Speaker 19 (27:59):
This was an extension. But they didn't want to do
it the easy way. They had to do it the
hard way. They looked very bad, the Democrats do.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
President Trump signed the legislation in the Oval Office an
hour about an hour and a half or so after
the House passed the bill late afternoon yesterday. He blamed
Democrats for the shutdown while he was surrounded by Republican
lawmakers and GOP officials. Trump said he hopes that voters
remember this in the upcoming twenty twenty six elections.

Speaker 19 (28:24):
So I just want to tell the American people, you
should not forget this when we come up to midterms
and other things. Don't forget what they've done to.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Our country, you might want to say. His midterm campaigning
began last night. If you really got into the shutdown,
it really was a teachable moment on the Obamacare failures.
May have been designed to fail in the end. Basically,
we had to pass it without reading it, and now
we needed to shut down the government without looking at it.

(28:55):
And the President of course took a long look at
it and had these words on Obamacare.

Speaker 19 (28:59):
Obamacare, there was a disaster from day one. It's done
nothing but go up. And if you remember President Barack
Hussein Obama when he came up with this crazy idea,
he said, everything's going to be great. Rates are going
to go down, payments are going to go down. Everything's
going to go down. And what the exact opposite.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Speaker Mike Johnson says, a bill compelling the Dog to
release all of its Jeffrey Epstein case files will receive
a vote on the House floor next week.

Speaker 15 (29:27):
With the discharge petition now reaching the two hundred and
eighteen signatures needed, Johnson is required to put the bill
on the floor soon, although he suggested he would not
use some of the extra.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Time that he was allowed.

Speaker 15 (29:38):
Democrat Congresswoman at Alita Grihalva became the two hundred and
eighteenth signature on the discharge petition shortly after she was
sworn in Wednesday afternoon. This follows reports at Epstein referenced
Trump and emails who his associate Gillam Maxwell, as well
as a journalist claiming in one that Trump knew.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
About the girls. I'm Mark Mayfield. The names of the
people killed in last week's UPS plane crash have now
been released.

Speaker 12 (29:59):
Carlos fifty two years old, lewisness Led.

Speaker 11 (30:05):
And Jefferson County Coroner Joanne Farmer reading off the names
of all fourteen people killed after the fiery crash of
UPS Flight two nine seven six. Only three of those
fourteen were actually on the cargo jets. The victims were
identified using DNA, medical and dental records. They range in
age from three to sixty five.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Each of these victims represents a life full of purpose,
interrupted far too soon.

Speaker 11 (30:30):
Mayor Craig Greenberg says authorities are confident there are no
other victims from the crash. The NTSB is still working
to find the cause. I'm Jack Crumbley.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
Working Parton released a new memoir.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
The seventy nine year old country superstar says in her
new book, Star of the Show, My Life on Stage,
it takes a look back at her seven decade performing
career and a cover story for People magazine, Pardon said
she realized when she was putting the book together just
how much she had sacrificed in her life. Partner lost
her husband earlier in the years that you never had children,
but was thankful that she got to see all of
her dreams come true. She says. She she's now gearing

(31:05):
up for what's next, including the Broadway stage production of Dolly,
a true original musical. It opens next year. And today
we've been paying tribute all day. You've been remembering the penny.
We say goodbye to it once and for all. The
mint shut down yesterday.

Speaker 20 (31:21):
The Treasurer says, Indy. The penny is going to save
the US fifty six million dollars, but at what cost?
We'll lose a penny for your thoughts. You won't be
able to give your two cents no good luck because
you won't find one on the ground. What will you
throw in a wishing well? And is it the end
of penny loafers? The government is not making more, but
you can still use the ones you have, most likely

(31:42):
in a jar in your kitchen. I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Well, our Sounds of the day is the government reopening.

Speaker 19 (31:52):
So with all of that, I just want to tell
you the country has never been in better shape. We
went through this short term disaster with the Democrats because they.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Thought it would be good.

Speaker 19 (32:02):
Politically, and it's an honor and out to sign this
incredible bill and get our country working again.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Thanks and with that, our forty three day long nightmare
is over. Why did this happen? Maybe? Speaker Johnson answered
that best, the long national nightmare is finally over.

Speaker 21 (32:25):
The Democrats shutdown was finally put down by the Republicans tonight.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
We all stood together.

Speaker 21 (32:30):
We did exactly what we told the American people we
would do from the very beginning. As Peter just pointed out,
we didn't give them anything, any of their radical, crazy demands.
I think the good won out tonight, and it was
long overdue.

Speaker 18 (32:45):
The thing that surprises me is how many of them
wanted this to continue. I mean, we've played over and
over again on this show. Chuck Schumer's entire career never
ever wanted a government shutdown, always supported continuing resolutions to
give in to the base that has now radicalized that
runs his party. AG's changed his tune, even Democrats saying that,

(33:07):
you know, speaking out loud and saying the quiet part
out loud, which is, yeah, we know people are going
to get hurt.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
But we need the leverage.

Speaker 18 (33:15):
A number of Democrats said that they knew Americans would
get hurt. They didn't care their power meant more.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
That's very telling to me, very telling.

Speaker 21 (33:24):
This shutdown never was about healthcare. It wasn't about Obamacare subsidies.
It wasn't about all the things they tried to make
it about, all the false narratives and talking points.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
It was about one thing.

Speaker 21 (33:35):
Sean Chuck Schumer and Akim Jeffries are from New York.
They needed to get political cover because the Marxists are
taking over the Democrat Party, especially in their state, and
they're worried about their next re elect That is one
percent what this is about from the very beginning.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Well, and then if you go talking about Obamacare in depth,
a failure, perhaps even designed to fail. Here's how Roy explains,
tell me what went wrong with Obamacare. Well, Will, it's
great to be with you.

Speaker 22 (34:07):
And the bottom line is it's the regulations. Obamacare created
a nationwide, one size fits all set of regulations for
that kind of insurance that you were mentioning that people
buy on their own, outside of their employer, outside of
the government. And the two things that Obamacare did that
broke the insurance market were one, it overcharged healthy people

(34:28):
that needed insurance, help fund the cost of insurance for
sick people, and overcharge young people help fund the cost
of insurance for sick people. So young people paid double
triple quadruple what they were paying before, and healthy people
paid double triple.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Quadruple before the subsidies kicked it. How does all this
impact the narrative moving forward? What were the economic lessons
of this shutdown? David Bonson, our economist, joins us.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Next, We're all in this together. This is Your Morning

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
