Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio five
seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning, and of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
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 show with Michael gil John Hek You,
Mike McCann. For all of you listening, you're joining a
fun Friday on your morning show already in progress on
(00:42):
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. The
FAA is going to keep flight restrictions frozen around a
two week trajectory to get things back to normal at
the airport. Another self described democratic socialist, Katie Wilson, takes
over a big city in America. This time it's Seattle,
and I've got some research information on Mom Donnie and
(01:04):
socialism in these inner city, big city areas versus the
rest of the country in terms of favorability. Also, the
BBC says it'll apologize to Donald Trump, but we're not
giving him a dime. Hell, that means you're headed to court.
And Thursday Night football was this another fix? The Patriots
improved to nine and two, beating the Jets twenty seven
to fourteen. They win by thirteen against a terrible team
(01:25):
and the spread was fourteen. I don't want to just
introduce Rory O'Neil, sing them on stage, sing them on stage.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I say, Rory, Rory, rmo Arma.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You came and you gave without taking old Rory exit
stage right? Oh stop it. Can't you ever just get
along and have fun? Well, not with that, Okay. The
pressure is on to release all the DOJ files and
the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The case is one of the
(02:00):
biggest issues that's dividing Republicans. Well, I think Israel probably
is the biggest right now that came out of nowhere. Right,
How big of a deal is this and what we
see these files? And why haven't we yet?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right, and this is coming to ahead again because now
the discharged petition had enough signatures in the House to
move forward, with the speakers saying they'll vote on it
in the week ahead, So this is gonna stay in
the headlines, and especially as the White House handles this
specific case so very differently. You know, we saw President
Trump at that event yesterday trade signing, not taking any questions,
(02:33):
Wednesday night reopening the government, not taking any questions.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I mean, come on, it's Donald Trump. When does he
not take a question? Right?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So they just behave so differently on this issue. And again,
so many of his base supporters, like Cash Mittel and
Dan Bongino made their bones on bringing cases like this into.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The literally in the case of Bongino, literally yeah yeah.
So remember when it was Republicans one of these files released,
Democrats wouldn't allow it. Old Joe or Ruver's really running
the White House is keeping us from knowing all the
Clinton's involvement and so on. And then you bring up
the Bongino, which you know, I mean, I love Dan,
(03:12):
don't get me wrong, but that you know, if Candice
Owens is making her hay right now with Charlie Kirk's assassination,
he made his hay with the Epstein files. That's how
he got to the top of the podcast list. So
then he ends up working with Cash Pattel, both making
promises they're going to get to the bottom of this,
and then all of a sudden, nothing to see here.
I mean, this is bizarre, and there are so many
(03:32):
things out there, like what what does every what is?
If you had to put him into like the top
three groups that are out there, what do they think
are in these files that they can't wait to hear? Well,
I would say, I'm just going to say, well, no,
I was just going to say, like there's a group
on the far right that believe that Epstein was an
(03:53):
Israeli informant, a spy, and you know that the corruption
of Zionist Israel and America's in these files. That's what
they're trying to hide. Then there's groups that say it's
it's about Trump's involvement, which there is none. But I mean,
what is the thirst for this? Find the story for
me because I can't.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Find Well, I think it's well, I think it's exactly that.
It's it's the different wings whipping up these fictions that
are and they could be created no matter what your
political persuasion may be. So as you said, oh no,
it's it's let's go get the Clintons and they're going
to be on the plane, and let's go get Donald
Trump because his name is in there several times.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So there's a little something.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
For everybody on this if you are closing your eyes
and not really willing to look at the facts, because
then you go into.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The hanging and the jail and was Bill Barr And yes,
there's just so much right. It's the ultimate political football
with no logo on it. Right, anybody can take possession
of it and make it whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And so many rabbit holes that you can sort of
go on a journey that you choose to go on
because there are so many different twists and.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Turns, no wonder, so many young women want to leave
the country. Do you see what I did there? Did
you see how flawless and swooth that was?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I thought you were gonna have my name. I thought
it was gonna be Rory O'Neil. The reasons so many
women want to leave the country. But okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Do me a favorite, Jeffrey, sing them off stage, and
I'll do the cheese for third hour. Rory. He has
no respect for me whatsoever. It's really shameful. Rory'll be
back in the third Hour turns out a record number
of younger women want to leave the US. Rory's got
the story. That's the first Rory, and then you'll get
(05:35):
the last Rory. And then in between, it's Friday with
forty seven. We have futures, Kevin Sirelli still to come.
Next week's Scott Jennings. So we're having a fun Friday.
I hope you're enjoying it. It's twelve minutes after the hour.
Can't have your morning show without your voice. Would never
have your morning show without your voice. Let's go to Defiance, Ohio.
We'll start with Jim. Good morning, mister del Jorno.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I'm just wondering, have you ever thought of or have
you ever did an interview with Bill Maher?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh? Boy, I think you too. That would be to
me a great interview. I was just gonna say, why
do you say I would love to interview Bill mam.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I would just think it would be fun to watch
Bill Maher sit there and smoke pot and try to
talk to you, and then you would be all over
him about smoking pot and.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He would be smacking his gun.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
The one thing about Bill he was.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You know, my first Bible studies in my home my
brother would come in with a joint lit really start
blowing smoke. I'm trying to lead people to Christ and
he was giving him shotguns. I've been around. I don't
blink at that. I would handle it. You know who
has handled him the best. I loved our fk our
FK Junior was with him and Bill's offering him a
drink in marijuana, and He's like, I don't think I
(06:45):
want to throw away twenty years of sobriety for you,
but thank you, thank you. Know.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
But Bill is at least able and willing to have
a conversation.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, no, I would love that. That's what I love
if ever given the opportunity, Jim, I'm all over it.
I promise. James is in Nashville, close to home.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
James, say, Michael, you know one of the best things
about being a Platinum listener, he is you get to hear.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
The Lee Ad Morgan interview twice in one week.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know, we do love our platt by way. If
you don't know what that reference is, I always like
it used to be in morning show radio, the five
o'clock hour was a throwaway hour, like if you were
a music station. He's played a lot of music. And
you know that's when really the host was like doing
a show prep, you know, or just they call it
ramping up, And I always said, no, that's the best hour.
(07:34):
Hit the ground running. That's the cream of the crop listeners.
If you're up at five o'clock in the morning, you're
some kind of mother. If you're up at five o'clock
in the morning, you're some kind of movie ship. Now
I've learned a whole new platinum respect. I'm telling you
got people out on the West Coast and Sacramento and
Phoenix in LA. They're up in the middle of the
night hitting the ground running. That'd be a great merch
(07:56):
item with the card listener t shirts. Oh yeah, but
we used to do it where the platinum card listener,
you know, when we used to do phone calls and stuff. Sure,
if you were a Platinum card listener, you went right
to the front of the line. You know, it had advantages,
like the Platinum card American Express. So but I actually
think the movers and the shakers and the really thoughtful
cream of the crop people are up early because they're
(08:17):
not drifting through life. They're directing and living life. So
that's what a Platinum card listener, is it is difficult
in this day and age. You know, usually mornings have patterns.
You know, afternoons things can change. You don't always go
home from work at the exact same time. Roughly maybe,
but mornings is very ritualistic. You brush your teeth at
the same time, you get out of the shower at
(08:39):
the same time, you're in the car by the same time,
you're halfway to work by the same time. And so
that's when we said, you know, some of these interviews
that happened earlier in the week in a third hour,
wouldn't it be fun to play for the overnight audience
on the West coast or people that missed it earlier
in the week. But with podcasting, that really messes it up,
because you know, yesterday we had a wonderful conversation about
(09:01):
making a difference in life because most of the things
we talk about are not changing, and we couldn't change
them in and of ourselves, but what could we impact today?
And I thought I almost would rather replay that than
like a Leanne Morgan, but it was early in the
morning live, but it's first on the podcast, so it's
(09:22):
all kind of reversed. I hope it doesn't offend people
to hear some of these twice. Some of these interviews
are people I really want them to know. And then
we came up with the idea to do a spotlight
interview the week on Friday. By the way, we will
end the year with our Spotlight Interview of the year.
Ray is in Greenville, South Carolina. I love my new
affiliate there in WRD and WYRD. Hey, Michael, grandchildren are
(09:45):
God's gift for not murdering your kids when they were teenagers,
he said, a little harsh, but it's true. I listen,
that's true. I was the fun dad, and I was
the quiet, you know, kind of heavenly father president got.
My wife is the one that I actually, as Larry
(10:06):
King would say, feared for the life at She brought
the wrath which I never saw coming. My wife was
the sweetest commas thing. You just don't know when you
marry somebody what kind of mom they're gonna be.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Always told my kids, listen, our generation wrote the book,
don't try to play games with us.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh teenage you know, thirteen to thirteen to sixteen and
a half. Oh that's a bull's eye. Seriously, they're lucky
if they survived. David in Tulsa, Oklahoma, listening to K
A k C.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
I'm sick of politics, So how about an old henny
youngman joke. Saw a guy fall off his barstool. I
helped him up, he fell a hand. I decided to
take him home. Bartender told me where he lived. I
helped him to the car and he just fell into
the back seat. Got him home.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He fell three times between the car and the door.
I helped him up. I rang the bell.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
His wife answered, I said, I brought your husband home.
She said, where's his wheelchair?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Take my wife. I'll never forget. I think it was
the Wisconsin Dells. I was very very young. I remember,
obviously everybody when it comes to thosconsin Dells remembers you're
on a bus and then of a sudden it turns
into a boat. The bus drives right into the water
and you think you're gonna sink, and it's a boat.
That's a big attraction. But I always found the enchanting
(11:23):
thing at night when you would just be walking around
and like there'd be this kind of like right out
of the movie doc Hollywood, a theater and a woman
sitting at a piano playing. The piano you walk in
and a silent movies playing and it was just really
a chatting. So we walked by this one big and
it was just like an outdoor tent without a bunch
of seating. And I walked by the door and this
I was an old soul. My son's an old soul.
(11:44):
So at least I know what it looks like. At
the time, it felt like there was something wrong with me.
But I was like a huge, huge Groucho Marx fan,
a huge Abbott and Costello fan, a huge Henny Youngman fan.
And this is before Rodney Dangerfield. So even as a
young child, I was a connoisseur of what was funny.
(12:04):
And I mean Henny Youngman was very you know, from vaudeville,
old school. Everything was a quick story or a one liner,
and they were just brilliant. And he would, you know,
he would sit there holding his violet. You would wonder
how many of these does he have in his head?
Because I always would hear a funny joke and I
could only remember one, and if I remembered a new one,
I lost the old one. I was never good at
telling jokes like Kenny Youngman. But I walked by this
(12:27):
tent and I could see from a distance this short,
little portly kind of guy holding I said, Dad, I
think that's Henny Youngman. Nah, Henny young Man. And then
we walked in. We walked and we sat right up front.
It was Henny Youngman. Oh what a kid, real very
funny guy. Should we get blame the final say? Or
do we need to go now? Get Blaine in real quick?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Hey, Michael, I was just wondering what's going on in Israel.
I haven't heard much about it anymore, which is probably
a good thing. But have they moved on to phase
two and getting peace keeping troops in or what?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, basically we're in phase two. Hamas of course is
not willing to disarm and willing to just quietly leave.
So there's been some skirmishes and some weeding out. That
is a part really technically a phase two, not the
part of phase two that you're kind of alluding to.
I would say, the violence is simmering down. So what
(13:26):
element of Hamas is there is being rooted out? Whether
it's completely rooted out yet, time will tell, and everything
you're alluding to will come in time. This is your
Morning Show with Michael de Chuno. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
About you, but I see very few Democrats wishing John
Fedterman a quick recovery from his recent illness. I see
a lot more Republicans wishing John Fedterman well. I hope
you all have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, a great point down. I was on the golf
course when the news broke that he had fallen and
been taken to the hospital for injuries to his face.
And it was interesting in the story. I scrolled down
and the comments were all vicious, vicious, never mind not
wishing him well, cheering it on. I mean, it was
very reminiscent of those that were celebrating Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
(14:18):
It is a disgusting time, but it is the time.
We are living it in our job to change it,
all right. John Fetterman, he is recovering after a fall
near his home in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
More with Mark Mayfield, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Democrats,
that he was transported to a Pittsburgh hospital out of
an abundance of caution. Betterman was found to have a
ventricular fibrillation flare up that caused him to feel lightheaded
and fall. He joked about the minor injuries to his
face that he suffered, saying, if you thought my face
looked bad before, wait until you see it now. Betterman
suffered a stroke while running for Senate in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
On Mark Mayfield and Donna, You'll want to keep listening
because coming up in Sounds of the day, he addresses
the viciousness of Republicans and Democrats and who's more vicious?
And I think you've already figured out the answer. Self
described Democrat socialist Katie Wilson the next socialist to win
the mayor's office in a big city, this time Seattle.
Speaker 11 (15:10):
On election night, Katie Wilson was behind incumbent Bruce Harrel,
but as more votes were talented, she took the lead.
Wilson has won the election by nearly two thousand votes.
Wilson is similar to New York City Mayor alex or
On Mamdani, who also identifies as a Democratic socialist. Harold
called Wilson on Thursday to conceive the race. I'm brad Ford.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I can't believe I'm doing a Cardi B. Story and
I don't even like it. Cardi B says that she's
had a baby with NFL star Stefan Diggs. Isn't that
like his third child this year?
Speaker 10 (15:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I'm not joking. I'm serious. I think he's had three.
I'll check it out. The Grammy winning rapper announced on
Instagram Thursday that she's had a baby boy with the
new England Patriot Wide Receiver. It's Cardi B's fourth child,
her first with Diggs. In her post, she calls it
a new season with new music, new album, and now
new baby. The Salvation Army needs your help. We need
(16:05):
volunteers for the holiday season. Bre Tennis with how you
can lend a hand.
Speaker 12 (16:08):
The need is for happy volunteers to ring the iconic
bell during the Red Kettle campaign. They're looking for families, friends,
co workers, and individuals to ring the bell and help
bring in donations. All fun support local services providing food,
shelter and substance abuse treatment. Last year, the campaign raised
nearly one hundred million dollars. Registration is open coast to
(16:29):
coast at register to Ring dot com.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm bre Tennis and that's your top five stories of
the day.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
This is Gabriel at Saint Louis and you're listening to
your Mournship with Michael Dell Jora.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
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 happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
This time we have a socialist democrat who lived in
her parents' basement, has achieved nothing in life, but they
kept counting votes till she won. A new socialist in
charge of a big city. This time it'll be Seattle,
as Katie Wilson won her race. The FAA is going
to keep the flight restrictions frozen at six percent now
(17:27):
that the government is reopening, and the projections are it'll
be about a week or so, maybe two to get
things normal at the airports. Six hundred cancelations slated for today.
The BBC says it'll apologize to Donald Trump, but we
will not pay compensation. I suspect Donald Trump will see
you in court. The Jolly good Fellow, probably a little sleepy,
(17:49):
got little Swiss balls of sleep in your eye, John Decker,
after being honored.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
It was Switzerland. Right, it was Sweden. It was Sweden.
Let's get let's get the country right.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, it's Sweden. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
We had a great time last night, a big celebration
honoring me at the Embassy of Sweden here in Washington,
d C. Honoring me for my thirty years of covering
the White House. And had such an awesome time. It
was a great evening. I think it was just so
nice to see everybody out there, about two hundred people altogether.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Michael, so a fun night. Well, you deserve it, all right.
So we're watching Secretary of War Pete hegg Set announcing
new military operations targeting narco terrorists. We have the Gerald R.
Ford now in the region, a warship, and you've got
the Venezuelan military mobilizing. What's going on with Venezuela?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
John Decker, Well, I can tell you earlier this week
I was at the White House, and who do I
see entering in the White House All of the President's
War Council, every member of his National security team, Marc Rubio,
the Secretary of State, Keith Hegsett, the Secretary of War.
They were going to the situation room.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
They were going to.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Discuss clearly going to discuss Venezuela and what next steps
will be taken as it relates to trying to remove
Miduro from power. They won't say it publicly, they won't
say that regime change is the goal here, but it
clearly is. And I think that's being led by Mark Rubio,
who does not want to see Miduro continue to lead Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, we were having a conversation off the year and
if this would continue to escalate, you know, there is
a little bit of a things seem to repeat in
fifty year cycles, a little bit too much of a
Cuba going on here with this level of socialism and
(19:38):
defiance in our hemisphere, the not backing down so far.
We don't have other bad players, and we're going to
the cruise jet putting missiles in Venezuela. But this has
been tense for a long time. It begins with the
pretext of listen, we're serious about the drugs and if
you won't stop them, we're going to blow them up
on their way to now maybe regimeed. So, I mean,
(20:00):
there's a lot of things brewing here.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
There are there are a lot of things brewing here,
and the president feels that this is an effort that
is worth taking. And I don't think he really is
listening to any that are in his magabase that say,
you know, no more forever wars. The President doesn't see
this as a forever war. He thinks that this can
be done in a very short period of time. And
(20:24):
the military build up that you just spoke about, you know,
the USS Gerald R. Ford, the aircraft carrier that's been
moved into the region, that sends a very clear message
to Maduro, you don't do that unless you're thinking of
potentially taking some action against his regime.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
All right, well, let me ask the obvious question, because
it's my job to Is there a chance to Arco
be at war with Venezuela by the holidays. There is
a chance, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I can't tell you what that chance is.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But you know, you don't.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Call your war Council over to the White House and
meet in the situation room. You don't move the largest
aircraft carrier in the US fleet into the region without
some sort of endgames. So I think that is a possibility.
But what you just described happening before the end of this.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Year, then I was gonna be flipping say, any chance
would get sick, go back. That wouldn't too soon. But
the bottom line is this would not be a very
long war, would it. It's a very good question. It's
a very good question.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I mean, look, it's clear that the US has bigger
firepower than Venezuela, but you don't want to get bogged
down in anything. And I don't think you can so
called win a war without having American boots on the ground.
You can't just lob some missiles and think that solves
the situation.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You have to have American boots on the ground.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
And I think that's what the President is contemplating and considering.
And that does not mean that he's decided on that yet.
It simply means that that is an option that has
been presented to him by his team, national security team.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Nobody has to get their panies ruffled here. I love
my president and I pray for my president every day,
and that doesn't mean he always does things that I
think are the smartest. But I will just be the
one to make this political statement. This is a president
who most of the year has been trying to end
wars could end the year starting one, and the ones
(22:22):
that he's been trying to end haven't really ended. I
don't know. There's got to be somebody in the room
telling him politically, this may not be the greatest timing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Well, you know, look, if the president can somehow without
actually taking military action, spe to it that Madruro gets
the message and quietly leaves Venezuela, that would be a
great success on the part of the president. And maybe
that's what he's aiming for. But Maduro seems like he's
(22:50):
dug in his heels. The military has been on alert
now for the past few days. We're talking about a
military comprised of about two hundred thousand, so it's not
a walk in the park. Obviously, it's something that the
US could do relatively quickly, but in order to do that,
you would need to have an American troop presence on
(23:11):
the ground on land in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I agree that there's I mean, it is possible that
the target is still the drugs on ships. I've talked
to you about my concern. You know, one bad shot,
you know, and it's a commercial vehicle with diapers, you know,
and that can But it could be that they're going
to be continue to target these NARCO ships. But the
mobilization of the Venezuelan military causes you to make plans
(23:37):
or you have these kinds of meeting, these kinds of
meetings when you're you're ready to go one last ultimatum,
all or nothing, And I tend to agree with you
it could be the latter. I just don't. I don't
want another Cuba brewing, that's for sure. I don't think
anybody was.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
And to your point that you made, Michael, I don't
think anybody in the MAGA base wants that either.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah. Great, great week of reporting and a great week
of being honored, and you deserve it after thirty years,
John Decker, have a great weekend. Thank you. Wait a minute,
we're taking you out with a court Johnny Goodfell can deny.
By the way, John Decker's White House Briefing Room is
(24:19):
a podcast. It'll be up by nine a m. Eastern
eight Central. Do not listen to it until my show
is over. John, have a great weekend. God bless him.
Thank you you Tube. Michael, Bye bye. Guess what time
it is. The consequences it.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Is the best way to get back on your faers,
to get up off your arse.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I've been living renfree in that guy's head for years
and that's just.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
A bull cool that chicken and add they're just blowing off. Steve,
always revealing, often entertaining time for your Sounds of the day.
I think I speak for me and Red when I say, uh,
we were very impressed with Justice Gorsic. He was on
Fox and having some pretty meaningful discussions. I would phrase
(25:04):
it this way, as you've heard David Zanati and I
talk on several occasions. Next year is all about the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
I'm of age to where I remember going to fireworks
and living through nineteen seventy six, the bi centennial year.
(25:25):
I doubt I'll be here for the try centennial year,
but I am here for the two hundred and fiftieth.
And America seems more lost than ever, more violently divided
than ever. And if there's any road to peace for America,
it's going to be to return turn away from social
media matrix, television matrix, partisan political matrix, and turn our
(25:50):
eyes back on our intent and our mission statement the
Declaration of Independence. And that's something that Gorsich talked about
with Fox.
Speaker 13 (25:59):
Listen, Yeah, the Declaration contains three radical ideas. That we're
all created equal, that we have inalienable rights that come
to us from God, not from government, and that we
the people have a right to rule ourselves, not be
subjects some dictator or crown or king.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Now first and foremost, How different is that from what's
winning elections in major cities. I was on the golf
course with Davidson, and I said, I really think the
key to this conversation is inalienable rights. Because when someone
was writing that two hundred and fifty years ago, what
(26:41):
they presumed were inalienable rights and what they presumed were
obvious to everyone is not the same. That's a mouthful
that you just heard a justice say we were first
(27:03):
and foremost given our rights from God, not man, designed
to keep us free and in charge. I mean, I'm
thinking David made a comment. When you go back and
study Lodge and all of the Originals you know, and
the treatises they you could make a case the federal
(27:26):
government was formed not just for the collective collective protection
of its people, but for the protection of your private
property rights. So no matter what state you lived in,
nobody goes crazy and take your property from you and
remain in the United States. I just watched a guy
(27:47):
win the mayor's race in the largest city saying he's
going to take property from people and just give it
to people at a lower value. Oh, we're lost. I
gotta tell you. I was very impressed with Gorsicch may
be my new favorite Justice. No, still amy, but listen, and.
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Those three ideas really shook old Europe, never never before
tried in history. We now almost take them for granted.
They're the air we breathe, the water we swim in.
But those ideas required courageous men, women and children to
make happen in seventeen seventy six, and they require the
same of us today.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So Justice Gorsich gets this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
It's all about this document, and you better get this
document accurately and in context, especially if you want to
get out of the mess we're in. How'd we get
into this mess? That speaks to what has not been
(28:48):
taught for several generations now, and perhaps we should take
this anniversary to teach it.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
You know, this is one thing my colleagues and I
really agree on, is the importance of bringing civic education
to our children. Over half of Americans can't pass the
citizenship exam. We expect people who come to this country
to pass. Most Americans cannot name the three branches of government.
And if you ask me what the greatest danger America
(29:15):
faces today, it's itself. And we have to learn how
to talk to one another. We need to know our
shared history, and I think if we do that, we'll
come to realize that all the things that separate us
pale in comparison to the things that unite us.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Those three great ideas and the Declaration. It's everything we've
been talking about. The other thing I would add to
that it was by design. I don't know. At forty
two years in radio, and for all forty two years
of those years of service, I have been watching Hollywood
(29:55):
rewrite history, classrooms rewrite history and ignore civics. The media
rewrite reality. They don't learn history the same they don't
even study civics. There is a level of ignorance that
(30:18):
Jefferson warned of that can cause us to lose our republic.
But it was by design. It was created. Please God
make the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And I'm telling you,
ever been in the left will fight to the death
that you don't look at that document, you don't read
its words, you don't discuss those words, because we've become
(30:42):
so anathetical to them. I often say, and it's oversimplified,
but the two things that we never discuss and we
should what is the proper size and role of government?
And what is the role and respond onsibility of the
self governed. It's not the government's job to take care
(31:07):
of you and provide for you. That was God's ultimate
job and yours. Now we've created, in essence a working
class who are the slaves, and then a non working
(31:29):
class that is enslaved to dependency on government. We could
not be further away from what we were intended to be.
And until we awaken to that, we're doomed. This is
how you end up with a singer and a California
State senator having this debate yesterday.
Speaker 14 (31:52):
I've read a lot of your bills, and like you said,
there are bills that need to be opened up. And
I'm telling you now, millions of women across America of
your heart vast and sexually assaulted and locked room. So I'm
lesbian black women, I'm not transphobic, I'm not homophobic, and
I do respect a lot of the things you've done,
but I do see a lot of these bills that
he's passed that are dangerous for women and young children.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And I understand that you're trying to be on a
level playing field. And I'm here to.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
Representing my community because I hear a lot of things
about my community and these bills. And I'm telling you,
as a woman first and foremost, that this is dangerous
and we need your help because you're in the office.
You're gonna go into poliicicy spot. I want to support you.
Have millions of people behind me watching this right now,
and we want to know are you going to protect women,
not trans women, women women women Listen, I was asault No.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
They are not. They are men. I was assaulted. He
broke his white's jaws. So crass, you need to reconstruct inside.
Speaker 14 (32:52):
I'm a lesbian, I'm not transphobic, and I'm black.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
So there's another black woman in here who wants to
tell me how they feel. Please join in.
Speaker 14 (32:59):
But all, well, you are not and I don't know
who you are what you are, but I'm a lesbian
and I'm telling you right now, men are harassing women.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
In the room. So you got a bunch of white
men going no, no, no, no, those aren't women. Those
are women. Getting back to my point of self evident truth,
Locke Jefferson, what do you think was self evident truth
to them when they were writing these words? Compared to today,
(33:26):
we can't even figure out what a man is, what
a woman is. I got to get this in before
the break, and I know it's going to make me late,
but this is John Fetterman talking about both Republicans and
Democrats and who's more vicious. Donna said, I'm taken by
how there's no Democrats wishing him well. You got to
read the comments online. They're not just wishing him well,
they're wishing him dead. But who's more vicious? Here's John Fetterman.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
You said, quote, I've drunk deeply of the venom of
both the left and the right as a connoisseur, and
confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from the
far left. That is pretty remarkable to hear you say
that as an elected Democrat.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
Why yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you know, it's been it's
just been my personal experience on this thing.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
And when I asked my digital team.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
I said, you know, you're we're on all the platforms,
you know, really, what's what's kind of the harshest, what's
kind of the most personal?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And the answer was immediately said, oh, blue Sky.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
It's Blue Sky.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah. And it was yesterday too, after his fall, wishing
him the worst. That's your sounds of the day for
this Friday, November fourteenth. Owning a home is amazing, that is,
until it's not. I mean, one minute you're sipping coffee,
everything's great. The next minute it's raining from the second floor.
We literally had that happen a pipe burst. Regular homeowner
(34:56):
insurance usually doesn't cover a lot of the day to
day wear and tear, pl bumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues.
You're often on your own for those, and that's where
home Serve comes in. It's like a subscription for your
home and for as little as four ninety nine a month,
they got your back. Repairs hit fast and hard, and
usually at the worst time. You could be searching for
(35:18):
a contractor in a panic, or you could be just
on the phone with Home Serves twenty four hour, seven
day a week hotline and they're already scheduling the repair.
Four point five million customers, four point eight out of
five post repair rating A plus rated by the Better
Business Bureau. We've been doing this for over twenty years
and we work with over twenty six hundred national network
(35:41):
local contractors. Help protect your home systems and your wallet.
I might add with home Serve, they'll have you covered.
Plans start as low as four ninety nine a month.
Go to HomeServe dot com to find a plan that's
right for you and your budget. That's HomeServe dot com.
Not available everywhere. Most plans range between four ninety nine
and eleven ninety nine. It's still a great value to
(36:02):
know you have protection, terms supply on covered repairs. That's
home serve dot Com. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael Ndheld Joano
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida News Radio five
seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning, and of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
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 show with Michael gil John Hek You,
Mike McCann. For all of you listening, you're joining a
fun Friday on your morning show already in progress on
(00:42):
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. The
FAA is going to keep flight restrictions frozen around a
two week trajectory to get things back to normal at
the airport. Another self described democratic socialist, Katie Wilson, takes
over a big city in America. This time it's Seattle,
and I've got some research information on Mom Donnie and
(01:04):
socialism in these inner city, big city areas versus the
rest of the country in terms of favorability. Also, the
BBC says it'll apologize to Donald Trump, but we're not
giving him a dime. Hell, that means you're headed to court.
And Thursday Night football was this another fix? The Patriots
improved to nine and two, beating the Jets twenty seven
to fourteen. They win by thirteen against a terrible team
(01:25):
and the spread was fourteen. I don't want to just
introduce Rory O'Neil, sing them on stage, sing them on stage.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I say, Rory, Rory, rmo Arma.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You came and you gave without taking old Rory exit
stage right? Oh stop it. Can't you ever just get
along and have fun? Well, not with that, Okay. The
pressure is on to release all the DOJ files and
the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The case is one of the
(02:00):
biggest issues that's dividing Republicans. Well, I think Israel probably
is the biggest right now that came out of nowhere. Right,
How big of a deal is this and what we
see these files? And why haven't we yet?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right, and this is coming to ahead again because now
the discharged petition had enough signatures in the House to
move forward, with the speakers saying they'll vote on it
in the week ahead, So this is gonna stay in
the headlines, and especially as the White House handles this
specific case so very differently. You know, we saw President
Trump at that event yesterday trade signing, not taking any questions,
(02:33):
Wednesday night reopening the government, not taking any questions.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I mean, come on, it's Donald Trump. When does he
not take a question? Right?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So they just behave so differently on this issue. And again,
so many of his base supporters, like Cash Mittel and
Dan Bongino made their bones on bringing cases like this into.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The literally in the case of Bongino, literally yeah yeah.
So remember when it was Republicans one of these files released,
Democrats wouldn't allow it. Old Joe or Ruver's really running
the White House is keeping us from knowing all the
Clinton's involvement and so on. And then you bring up
the Bongino, which you know, I mean, I love Dan,
(03:12):
don't get me wrong, but that you know, if Candice
Owens is making her hay right now with Charlie Kirk's assassination,
he made his hay with the Epstein files. That's how
he got to the top of the podcast list. So
then he ends up working with Cash Pattel, both making
promises they're going to get to the bottom of this,
and then all of a sudden, nothing to see here.
I mean, this is bizarre, and there are so many
(03:32):
things out there, like what what does every what is?
If you had to put him into like the top
three groups that are out there, what do they think
are in these files that they can't wait to hear? Well,
I would say, I'm just going to say, well, no,
I was just going to say, like there's a group
on the far right that believe that Epstein was an
(03:53):
Israeli informant, a spy, and you know that the corruption
of Zionist Israel and America's in these files. That's what
they're trying to hide. Then there's groups that say it's
it's about Trump's involvement, which there is none. But I mean,
what is the thirst for this? Find the story for
me because I can't.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Find Well, I think it's well, I think it's exactly that.
It's it's the different wings whipping up these fictions that
are and they could be created no matter what your
political persuasion may be. So as you said, oh no,
it's it's let's go get the Clintons and they're going
to be on the plane, and let's go get Donald
Trump because his name is in there several times.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So there's a little something.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
For everybody on this if you are closing your eyes
and not really willing to look at the facts, because
then you go into.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The hanging and the jail and was Bill Barr And yes,
there's just so much right. It's the ultimate political football
with no logo on it. Right, anybody can take possession
of it and make it whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And so many rabbit holes that you can sort of
go on a journey that you choose to go on
because there are so many different twists and.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Turns, no wonder, so many young women want to leave
the country. Do you see what I did there? Did
you see how flawless and swooth that was?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I thought you were gonna have my name. I thought
it was gonna be Rory O'Neil. The reasons so many
women want to leave the country. But okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Do me a favorite, Jeffrey, sing them off stage, and
I'll do the cheese for third hour. Rory. He has
no respect for me whatsoever. It's really shameful. Rory'll be
back in the third Hour turns out a record number
of younger women want to leave the US. Rory's got
the story. That's the first Rory, and then you'll get
(05:35):
the last Rory. And then in between, it's Friday with
forty seven. We have futures, Kevin Sirelli still to come.
Next week's Scott Jennings. So we're having a fun Friday.
I hope you're enjoying it. It's twelve minutes after the hour.
Can't have your morning show without your voice. Would never
have your morning show without your voice. Let's go to Defiance, Ohio.
We'll start with Jim. Good morning, mister del Jorno.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I'm just wondering, have you ever thought of or have
you ever did an interview with Bill Maher?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh? Boy, I think you too. That would be to
me a great interview. I was just gonna say, why
do you say I would love to interview Bill mam.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I would just think it would be fun to watch
Bill Maher sit there and smoke pot and try to
talk to you, and then you would be all over
him about smoking pot and.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He would be smacking his gun.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
The one thing about Bill he was.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You know, my first Bible studies in my home my
brother would come in with a joint lit really start
blowing smoke. I'm trying to lead people to Christ and
he was giving him shotguns. I've been around. I don't
blink at that. I would handle it. You know who
has handled him the best. I loved our fk our
FK Junior was with him and Bill's offering him a
drink in marijuana, and He's like, I don't think I
(06:45):
want to throw away twenty years of sobriety for you,
but thank you, thank you. Know.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
But Bill is at least able and willing to have
a conversation.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, no, I would love that. That's what I love
if ever given the opportunity, Jim, I'm all over it.
I promise. James is in Nashville, close to home.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
James, say, Michael, you know one of the best things
about being a Platinum listener, he is you get to hear.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
The Lee Ad Morgan interview twice in one week.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know, we do love our platt by way. If
you don't know what that reference is, I always like
it used to be in morning show radio, the five
o'clock hour was a throwaway hour, like if you were
a music station. He's played a lot of music. And
you know that's when really the host was like doing
a show prep, you know, or just they call it
ramping up, And I always said, no, that's the best hour.
(07:34):
Hit the ground running. That's the cream of the crop listeners.
If you're up at five o'clock in the morning, you're
some kind of mother. If you're up at five o'clock
in the morning, you're some kind of movie ship. Now
I've learned a whole new platinum respect. I'm telling you
got people out on the West Coast and Sacramento and
Phoenix in LA. They're up in the middle of the
night hitting the ground running. That'd be a great merch
(07:56):
item with the card listener t shirts. Oh yeah, but
we used to do it where the platinum card listener,
you know, when we used to do phone calls and stuff. Sure,
if you were a Platinum card listener, you went right
to the front of the line. You know, it had advantages,
like the Platinum card American Express. So but I actually
think the movers and the shakers and the really thoughtful
cream of the crop people are up early because they're
(08:17):
not drifting through life. They're directing and living life. So
that's what a Platinum card listener, is it is difficult
in this day and age. You know, usually mornings have patterns.
You know, afternoons things can change. You don't always go
home from work at the exact same time. Roughly maybe,
but mornings is very ritualistic. You brush your teeth at
the same time, you get out of the shower at
(08:39):
the same time, you're in the car by the same time,
you're halfway to work by the same time. And so
that's when we said, you know, some of these interviews
that happened earlier in the week in a third hour,
wouldn't it be fun to play for the overnight audience
on the West coast or people that missed it earlier
in the week. But with podcasting, that really messes it up,
because you know, yesterday we had a wonderful conversation about
(09:01):
making a difference in life because most of the things
we talk about are not changing, and we couldn't change
them in and of ourselves, but what could we impact today?
And I thought I almost would rather replay that than
like a Leanne Morgan, but it was early in the
morning live, but it's first on the podcast, so it's
(09:22):
all kind of reversed. I hope it doesn't offend people
to hear some of these twice. Some of these interviews
are people I really want them to know. And then
we came up with the idea to do a spotlight
interview the week on Friday. By the way, we will
end the year with our Spotlight Interview of the year.
Ray is in Greenville, South Carolina. I love my new
affiliate there in WRD and WYRD. Hey, Michael, grandchildren are
(09:45):
God's gift for not murdering your kids when they were teenagers,
he said, a little harsh, but it's true. I listen,
that's true. I was the fun dad, and I was
the quiet, you know, kind of heavenly father president got.
My wife is the one that I actually, as Larry
(10:06):
King would say, feared for the life at She brought
the wrath which I never saw coming. My wife was
the sweetest commas thing. You just don't know when you
marry somebody what kind of mom they're gonna be.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Always told my kids, listen, our generation wrote the book,
don't try to play games with us.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh teenage you know, thirteen to thirteen to sixteen and
a half. Oh that's a bull's eye. Seriously, they're lucky
if they survived. David in Tulsa, Oklahoma, listening to K
A k C.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
I'm sick of politics, So how about an old henny
youngman joke. Saw a guy fall off his barstool. I
helped him up, he fell a hand. I decided to
take him home. Bartender told me where he lived. I
helped him to the car and he just fell into
the back seat. Got him home.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He fell three times between the car and the door.
I helped him up. I rang the bell.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
His wife answered, I said, I brought your husband home.
She said, where's his wheelchair?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Take my wife. I'll never forget. I think it was
the Wisconsin Dells. I was very very young. I remember,
obviously everybody when it comes to thosconsin Dells remembers you're
on a bus and then of a sudden it turns
into a boat. The bus drives right into the water
and you think you're gonna sink, and it's a boat.
That's a big attraction. But I always found the enchanting
(11:23):
thing at night when you would just be walking around
and like there'd be this kind of like right out
of the movie doc Hollywood, a theater and a woman
sitting at a piano playing. The piano you walk in
and a silent movies playing and it was just really
a chatting. So we walked by this one big and
it was just like an outdoor tent without a bunch
of seating. And I walked by the door and this
I was an old soul. My son's an old soul.
(11:44):
So at least I know what it looks like. At
the time, it felt like there was something wrong with me.
But I was like a huge, huge Groucho Marx fan,
a huge Abbott and Costello fan, a huge Henny Youngman fan.
And this is before Rodney Dangerfield. So even as a
young child, I was a connoisseur of what was funny.
(12:04):
And I mean Henny Youngman was very you know, from vaudeville,
old school. Everything was a quick story or a one liner,
and they were just brilliant. And he would, you know,
he would sit there holding his violet. You would wonder
how many of these does he have in his head?
Because I always would hear a funny joke and I
could only remember one, and if I remembered a new one,
I lost the old one. I was never good at
telling jokes like Kenny Youngman. But I walked by this
(12:27):
tent and I could see from a distance this short,
little portly kind of guy holding I said, Dad, I
think that's Henny Youngman. Nah, Henny young Man. And then
we walked in. We walked and we sat right up front.
It was Henny Youngman. Oh what a kid, real very
funny guy. Should we get blame the final say? Or
do we need to go now? Get Blaine in real quick?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Hey, Michael, I was just wondering what's going on in Israel.
I haven't heard much about it anymore, which is probably
a good thing. But have they moved on to phase
two and getting peace keeping troops in or what?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, basically we're in phase two. Hamas of course is
not willing to disarm and willing to just quietly leave.
So there's been some skirmishes and some weeding out. That
is a part really technically a phase two, not the
part of phase two that you're kind of alluding to.
I would say, the violence is simmering down. So what
(13:26):
element of Hamas is there is being rooted out? Whether
it's completely rooted out yet, time will tell, and everything
you're alluding to will come in time. This is your
Morning Show with Michael de Chuno. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
About you, but I see very few Democrats wishing John
Fedterman a quick recovery from his recent illness. I see
a lot more Republicans wishing John Fedterman well. I hope
you all have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, a great point down. I was on the golf
course when the news broke that he had fallen and
been taken to the hospital for injuries to his face.
And it was interesting in the story. I scrolled down
and the comments were all vicious, vicious, never mind not
wishing him well, cheering it on. I mean, it was
very reminiscent of those that were celebrating Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
(14:18):
It is a disgusting time, but it is the time.
We are living it in our job to change it,
all right. John Fetterman, he is recovering after a fall
near his home in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
More with Mark Mayfield, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Democrats,
that he was transported to a Pittsburgh hospital out of
an abundance of caution. Betterman was found to have a
ventricular fibrillation flare up that caused him to feel lightheaded
and fall. He joked about the minor injuries to his
face that he suffered, saying, if you thought my face
looked bad before, wait until you see it now. Betterman
suffered a stroke while running for Senate in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
On Mark Mayfield and Donna, You'll want to keep listening
because coming up in Sounds of the day, he addresses
the viciousness of Republicans and Democrats and who's more vicious?
And I think you've already figured out the answer. Self
described Democrat socialist Katie Wilson the next socialist to win
the mayor's office in a big city, this time Seattle.
Speaker 11 (15:10):
On election night, Katie Wilson was behind incumbent Bruce Harrel,
but as more votes were talented, she took the lead.
Wilson has won the election by nearly two thousand votes.
Wilson is similar to New York City Mayor alex or
On Mamdani, who also identifies as a Democratic socialist. Harold
called Wilson on Thursday to conceive the race. I'm brad Ford.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I can't believe I'm doing a Cardi B. Story and
I don't even like it. Cardi B says that she's
had a baby with NFL star Stefan Diggs. Isn't that
like his third child this year?
Speaker 10 (15:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I'm not joking. I'm serious. I think he's had three.
I'll check it out. The Grammy winning rapper announced on
Instagram Thursday that she's had a baby boy with the
new England Patriot Wide Receiver. It's Cardi B's fourth child,
her first with Diggs. In her post, she calls it
a new season with new music, new album, and now
new baby. The Salvation Army needs your help. We need

This is Gabriel at Saint Louis and you're listening to
your Mournship with Michael Dell Jora.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
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 happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
This time we have a socialist democrat who lived in
her parents' basement, has achieved nothing in life, but they
kept counting votes till she won. A new socialist in
charge of a big city. This time it'll be Seattle,
as Katie Wilson won her race. The FAA is going
to keep the flight restrictions frozen at six percent now
(17:27):
that the government is reopening, and the projections are it'll
be about a week or so, maybe two to get
things normal at the airports. Six hundred cancelations slated for today.
The BBC says it'll apologize to Donald Trump, but we
will not pay compensation. I suspect Donald Trump will see
you in court. The Jolly good Fellow, probably a little sleepy,
(17:49):
got little Swiss balls of sleep in your eye, John Decker,
after being honored.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
It was Switzerland. Right, it was Sweden. It was Sweden.
Let's get let's get the country right.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, it's Sweden. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
We had a great time last night, a big celebration
honoring me at the Embassy of Sweden here in Washington,
d C. Honoring me for my thirty years of covering
the White House. And had such an awesome time. It
was a great evening. I think it was just so
nice to see everybody out there, about two hundred people altogether.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Michael, so a fun night. Well, you deserve it, all right.
So we're watching Secretary of War Pete hegg Set announcing
new military operations targeting narco terrorists. We have the Gerald R.
Ford now in the region, a warship, and you've got
the Venezuelan military mobilizing. What's going on with Venezuela?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
John Decker, Well, I can tell you earlier this week
I was at the White House, and who do I
see entering in the White House All of the President's
War Council, every member of his National security team, Marc Rubio,
the Secretary of State, Keith Hegsett, the Secretary of War.
They were going to the situation room.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
They were going to.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Discuss clearly going to discuss Venezuela and what next steps
will be taken as it relates to trying to remove
Miduro from power. They won't say it publicly, they won't
say that regime change is the goal here, but it
clearly is. And I think that's being led by Mark Rubio,
who does not want to see Miduro continue to lead Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, we were having a conversation off the year and
if this would continue to escalate, you know, there is
a little bit of a things seem to repeat in
fifty year cycles, a little bit too much of a
Cuba going on here with this level of socialism and
(19:38):
defiance in our hemisphere, the not backing down so far.
We don't have other bad players, and we're going to
the cruise jet putting missiles in Venezuela. But this has
been tense for a long time. It begins with the
pretext of listen, we're serious about the drugs and if
you won't stop them, we're going to blow them up
on their way to now maybe regimeed. So, I mean,
(20:00):
there's a lot of things brewing here.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
There are there are a lot of things brewing here,
and the president feels that this is an effort that
is worth taking. And I don't think he really is
listening to any that are in his magabase that say,
you know, no more forever wars. The President doesn't see
this as a forever war. He thinks that this can
be done in a very short period of time. And
(20:24):
the military build up that you just spoke about, you know,
the USS Gerald R. Ford, the aircraft carrier that's been
moved into the region, that sends a very clear message
to Maduro, you don't do that unless you're thinking of
potentially taking some action against his regime.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
All right, well, let me ask the obvious question, because
it's my job to Is there a chance to Arco
be at war with Venezuela by the holidays. There is
a chance, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I can't tell you what that chance is.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But you know, you don't.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Call your war Council over to the White House and
meet in the situation room. You don't move the largest
aircraft carrier in the US fleet into the region without
some sort of endgames. So I think that is a possibility.
But what you just described happening before the end of this.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Year, then I was gonna be flipping say, any chance
would get sick, go back. That wouldn't too soon. But
the bottom line is this would not be a very
long war, would it. It's a very good question. It's
a very good question.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I mean, look, it's clear that the US has bigger
firepower than Venezuela, but you don't want to get bogged
down in anything. And I don't think you can so
called win a war without having American boots on the ground.
You can't just lob some missiles and think that solves
the situation.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You have to have American boots on the ground.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
And I think that's what the President is contemplating and considering.
And that does not mean that he's decided on that yet.
It simply means that that is an option that has
been presented to him by his team, national security team.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Nobody has to get their panies ruffled here. I love
my president and I pray for my president every day,
and that doesn't mean he always does things that I
think are the smartest. But I will just be the
one to make this political statement. This is a president
who most of the year has been trying to end
wars could end the year starting one, and the ones
(22:22):
that he's been trying to end haven't really ended. I
don't know. There's got to be somebody in the room
telling him politically, this may not be the greatest timing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Well, you know, look, if the president can somehow without
actually taking military action, spe to it that Madruro gets
the message and quietly leaves Venezuela, that would be a
great success on the part of the president. And maybe
that's what he's aiming for. But Maduro seems like he's
(22:50):
dug in his heels. The military has been on alert
now for the past few days. We're talking about a
military comprised of about two hundred thousand, so it's not
a walk in the park. Obviously, it's something that the
US could do relatively quickly, but in order to do that,
you would need to have an American troop presence on
(23:11):
the ground on land in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I agree that there's I mean, it is possible that
the target is still the drugs on ships. I've talked
to you about my concern. You know, one bad shot,
you know, and it's a commercial vehicle with diapers, you know,
and that can But it could be that they're going
to be continue to target these NARCO ships. But the
mobilization of the Venezuelan military causes you to make plans
(23:37):
or you have these kinds of meeting, these kinds of
meetings when you're you're ready to go one last ultimatum,
all or nothing, And I tend to agree with you
it could be the latter. I just don't. I don't
want another Cuba brewing, that's for sure. I don't think
anybody was.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
And to your point that you made, Michael, I don't
think anybody in the MAGA base wants that either.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah. Great, great week of reporting and a great week
of being honored, and you deserve it after thirty years,
John Decker, have a great weekend. Thank you. Wait a minute,
we're taking you out with a court Johnny Goodfell can deny.
By the way, John Decker's White House Briefing Room is
(24:19):
a podcast. It'll be up by nine a m. Eastern
eight Central. Do not listen to it until my show
is over. John, have a great weekend. God bless him.
Thank you you Tube. Michael, Bye bye. Guess what time
it is. The consequences it.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Is the best way to get back on your faers,
to get up off your arse.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I've been living renfree in that guy's head for years
and that's just.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
A bull cool that chicken and add they're just blowing off. Steve,
always revealing, often entertaining time for your Sounds of the day.
I think I speak for me and Red when I say, uh,
we were very impressed with Justice Gorsic. He was on
Fox and having some pretty meaningful discussions. I would phrase
(25:04):
it this way, as you've heard David Zanati and I
talk on several occasions. Next year is all about the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
I'm of age to where I remember going to fireworks
and living through nineteen seventy six, the bi centennial year.
(25:25):
I doubt I'll be here for the try centennial year,
but I am here for the two hundred and fiftieth.
And America seems more lost than ever, more violently divided
than ever. And if there's any road to peace for America,
it's going to be to return turn away from social
media matrix, television matrix, partisan political matrix, and turn our
(25:50):
eyes back on our intent and our mission statement the
Declaration of Independence. And that's something that Gorsich talked about
with Fox.
Speaker 13 (25:59):
Listen, Yeah, the Declaration contains three radical ideas. That we're
all created equal, that we have inalienable rights that come
to us from God, not from government, and that we
the people have a right to rule ourselves, not be
subjects some dictator or crown or king.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Now first and foremost, How different is that from what's
winning elections in major cities. I was on the golf
course with Davidson, and I said, I really think the
key to this conversation is inalienable rights. Because when someone
was writing that two hundred and fifty years ago, what
(26:41):
they presumed were inalienable rights and what they presumed were
obvious to everyone is not the same. That's a mouthful
that you just heard a justice say we were first
(27:03):
and foremost given our rights from God, not man, designed
to keep us free and in charge. I mean, I'm
thinking David made a comment. When you go back and
study Lodge and all of the Originals you know, and
the treatises they you could make a case the federal
(27:26):
government was formed not just for the collective collective protection
of its people, but for the protection of your private
property rights. So no matter what state you lived in,
nobody goes crazy and take your property from you and
remain in the United States. I just watched a guy
(27:47):
win the mayor's race in the largest city saying he's
going to take property from people and just give it
to people at a lower value. Oh, we're lost. I
gotta tell you. I was very impressed with Gorsicch may
be my new favorite Justice. No, still amy, but listen, and.
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Those three ideas really shook old Europe, never never before
tried in history. We now almost take them for granted.
They're the air we breathe, the water we swim in.
But those ideas required courageous men, women and children to
make happen in seventeen seventy six, and they require the
same of us today.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So Justice Gorsich gets this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
It's all about this document, and you better get this
document accurately and in context, especially if you want to
get out of the mess we're in. How'd we get
into this mess? That speaks to what has not been
(28:48):
taught for several generations now, and perhaps we should take
this anniversary to teach it.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
You know, this is one thing my colleagues and I
really agree on, is the importance of bringing civic education
to our children. Over half of Americans can't pass the
citizenship exam. We expect people who come to this country
to pass. Most Americans cannot name the three branches of government.
And if you ask me what the greatest danger America
(29:15):
faces today, it's itself. And we have to learn how
to talk to one another. We need to know our
shared history, and I think if we do that, we'll
come to realize that all the things that separate us
pale in comparison to the things that unite us.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Those three great ideas and the Declaration. It's everything we've
been talking about. The other thing I would add to
that it was by design. I don't know. At forty
two years in radio, and for all forty two years
of those years of service, I have been watching Hollywood
(29:55):
rewrite history, classrooms rewrite history and ignore civics. The media
rewrite reality. They don't learn history the same they don't
even study civics. There is a level of ignorance that
(30:18):
Jefferson warned of that can cause us to lose our republic.
But it was by design. It was created. Please God
make the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And I'm telling you,
ever been in the left will fight to the death
that you don't look at that document, you don't read
its words, you don't discuss those words, because we've become
(30:42):
so anathetical to them. I often say, and it's oversimplified,
but the two things that we never discuss and we
should what is the proper size and role of government?
And what is the role and respond onsibility of the
self governed. It's not the government's job to take care
(31:07):
of you and provide for you. That was God's ultimate
job and yours. Now we've created, in essence a working
class who are the slaves, and then a non working
(31:29):
class that is enslaved to dependency on government. We could
not be further away from what we were intended to be.
And until we awaken to that, we're doomed. This is
how you end up with a singer and a California
State senator having this debate yesterday.
Speaker 14 (31:52):
I've read a lot of your bills, and like you said,
there are bills that need to be opened up. And
I'm telling you now, millions of women across America of
your heart vast and sexually assaulted and locked room. So I'm
lesbian black women, I'm not transphobic, I'm not homophobic, and
I do respect a lot of the things you've done,
but I do see a lot of these bills that
he's passed that are dangerous for women and young children.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And I understand that you're trying to be on a
level playing field. And I'm here to.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
Representing my community because I hear a lot of things
about my community and these bills. And I'm telling you,
as a woman first and foremost, that this is dangerous
and we need your help because you're in the office.
You're gonna go into poliicicy spot. I want to support you.
Have millions of people behind me watching this right now,
and we want to know are you going to protect women,
not trans women, women women women Listen, I was asault No.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
They are not. They are men. I was assaulted. He
broke his white's jaws. So crass, you need to reconstruct inside.
Speaker 14 (32:52):
I'm a lesbian, I'm not transphobic, and I'm black.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
So there's another black woman in here who wants to
tell me how they feel. Please join in.
Speaker 14 (32:59):
But all, well, you are not and I don't know
who you are what you are, but I'm a lesbian
and I'm telling you right now, men are harassing women.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
In the room. So you got a bunch of white
men going no, no, no, no, those aren't women. Those
are women. Getting back to my point of self evident truth,
Locke Jefferson, what do you think was self evident truth
to them when they were writing these words? Compared to today,
(33:26):
we can't even figure out what a man is, what
a woman is. I got to get this in before
the break, and I know it's going to make me late,
but this is John Fetterman talking about both Republicans and
Democrats and who's more vicious. Donna said, I'm taken by
how there's no Democrats wishing him well. You got to
read the comments online. They're not just wishing him well,
they're wishing him dead. But who's more vicious? Here's John Fetterman.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
You said, quote, I've drunk deeply of the venom of
both the left and the right as a connoisseur, and
confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from the
far left. That is pretty remarkable to hear you say
that as an elected Democrat.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
Why yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you know, it's been it's
just been my personal experience on this thing.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
And when I asked my digital team.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
I said, you know, you're we're on all the platforms,
you know, really, what's what's kind of the harshest, what's
kind of the most personal?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And the answer was immediately said, oh, blue Sky.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
It's Blue Sky.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah. And it was yesterday too, after his fall, wishing
him the worst. That's your sounds of the day for
this Friday, November fourteenth. Owning a home is amazing, that is,

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.
