seven twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And We're going
to need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This is your.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Thank you, Mike McCant. Seven minutes after the hour of
Welcome to Monday, November seventeenth, Vlord twenty twenty five on
the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
your Morning Show. The FAA has lifted its flight restriction
order at airports nationwide that went into effect at six
Eastern this morning. Could things be back to normal in
time for Thanksgiving? Travel House is set to vote tomorrow
(00:58):
on a measure to require the Department of Justice to
release all of the files pertaining to the late sex
offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the President says he wants the
Republicans to pass that, and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says
she's receiving threats on social media after being criticized by
the President. We're struggling to figure out who really even
(01:19):
thinks about Marjorie Taylor Green. And kind of a sleepy
game last night and didn't turn out well for the Lions.
They fall to six and four, losing sixteen to nine
to the Eagles in Philadelphia. And tonight, Monday Night Football
brings us to the desert the Cowboys in Las Vegas
to take on the Raiders. Rory o'neilis here. The hidden
(01:41):
provisions within the bill to reopen the government could upend
the hemp industry, effectively criminalizing most THHC infused products now
sold in the United States. Rory, this is a ripple
effect that could get all the way to wreck creational
use of marijuana, is what the left is saying. We're
(02:04):
struggling to find a way to care about this as well.
But I may have listeners that need these things. I
just want to be objective. So what's in the bill
and what do we think is going to happen. Well,
it's a law now.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And this is a thirty billion dollar industry that really
has grown since the past seven eight years since that
Farm bill was passed in twenty eighteen. And what was
signed last week into law essentially amends that twenty eighteen
Farm Bill to block this loophole that was in this legislation.
So the law now caps the THCHC amount that can
(02:36):
be in these products at what point four milligrams of
total THHC per container, which is nothing because a single
hemp gummy typically has two point five to up to
ten milligrams of THHC.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So essentially this would.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Ban that whole industry again now worth about thirty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And so the ban takes effect next year.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The supporters of this are hoping they can work their
magic with the legislature and try to get this change
back before that new deadline comes into it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I am I am completely in the dark on all
of this, so I won't even try to put on
a pretense of somebody that gets it. So uh yeah, no,
I mean, and I'm not doing that just to look pious.
I'm just trying to think, all right, so you're why
just gummies? I mean, what all can you buy at
these stores, because there's there's the the what are the
(03:31):
the inhalable ones, what are the vapes? What about the vapes? Yeah,
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, this is for anything that's infused, these infused products,
and that would likely extend to the vape industry as well.
So yeah, and then it's going to depend on the
milligrams allowed. And the concern is we've gotten all used
to these products being out there that then suddenly this
turns into an underground kind of operation, so that you're
buying the gummy that Joe makes from his basement and
(03:56):
you don't really know what's in it versus some of
these much more lated, professionally done produced edibles and gummies
that are almost ubiquitous at this point. Then it gets
into issues about whether or not items can cross state
lines and what state laws say and federal laws and
what specific products might come out of production. So let's
(04:19):
see how much this becomes a lobbying effort, because again,
three hundred thousand people, thirty billion dollars, they may have
enough pull on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You know, when you legalize gaming, you wonder what happens
to the old bookies? Do people still use them? When
you legalize these drugs. What happens to people that used
to sell it illegally? Are they still out there? Well?
Los Angeles kind of found and we were looking at
a story earlier this morning. We're in La there they're
wanting now to be subsidized because they're not making money.
Turns out people are already going to what would we
(04:50):
call them, they're not dealers anymore. They'd be third party,
non authorized what effort? All right? So point four. So
it would be so great, I would presume, and especially
as strong as some of this stuff has been, the
resistance levels, it would be so weakened it would be unusable.
Is the right conclusion? Right?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And essentially would put them out of business. And I'm
just checking while you're speaking. And yes, gummies, drinks, and
vapes all included in these new guidelines.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
For yeah, next year, next net, with a lot of
time to reverse it. Right, All right, Roy is here.
We're going to be back in the third hour. Several
policy changes occurred for President Trump over the weekend. Some
tariffs are being reversed. Ice is now moving into Charlotte
after years of supporting Marjorie Taylor Green. It looks like
(05:40):
that honeymoon is over wire, will be back with that story,
won't kind of kick around some of that with David
Sinati as well. All right, twelve minutes after the hour.
One of the big stories today that we were looking
at was who were the big winners and losers of
the shutdown? And so Rasmussen does the report. Sixty seven
percent of likely voters approved the decision to end the
(06:01):
government shut down. So think back when it was shutting
prior to it shutting down, and as it was shutting down,
think of all the different Democrats that were on talking
head television and speaking against this, or the networks themselves
treating it like it was something bad, some big cave
that is out of step with nearly seven to ten Americans.
(06:24):
Forty four percent strongly approved the government reopening. I wish
now they'd get that serious about how it operates when
it's open and piling up thirty seven trillion dollars a debt.
But there's no question America wanted the government open, So
anybody that stood for the closing of the government was
(06:46):
on the wrong end of this. Only eleven percent strongly disapproved.
So what is this socialist, hell bent far left opposition party.
When it comes to getting so out of hand that
you shut down the government, you represent about eleven percent
of the American people. Good luck with that in the midterms. Now,
(07:09):
which party fared better? That's a different question. And forty
nine percent of voters believe the Republicans benefited most politically
from ending the government shutdown. Just eighteen percent think the
Democrats did. That leaves thirty three percent under not sure
or I have no use for either of them. Voters
are divided over who is the most to blame for
(07:31):
the government shutdown, thirty nine percent blaming Republicans, thirty seven
percent blaming Democrats, twenty one percent percent blaming both parties equally.
Fifty eight percent of Democrat voters believe Republicans in Congress
are mostly to blame Big Shock right, Fifty seven percent
of Republican voters think Democrats. Among non affiliated voters, I
(07:52):
guess they get to be the tiebreaker, thirty three percent
blame to Republicans, thirty one percent blame Democrats. But if
ultimately the Republicans stood for reopening the government and seven
out of ten Americans wanted it reopen, I think you
know who won. Seventy nine percent of Republicans, fifty nine
percent of Democrats, sixty two percent of unaffiliated voters are
at least at least somewhat approve of the decision to
(08:16):
end the shutdown. This was interesting. This was a Pew
Research poll in our polls of plenty and it's talking
to high school girls. Now, listen, before I even start
rattling off these statistics, remember that old analogy, careful dropping
(08:37):
your kids off, and that's if you waited till five.
Some of you would say you had to use preschool
as well. But presuming you drop them off at five,
don't be shocked when you drop them off at five
and pick them up at eighteen if they've become something
completely different. That's how much education has become in doctrination
and socialization. So, really, as I'm going to through all
(09:00):
these numbers, I really do think the question in your
mind should be what have they done to our young girls?
What have they taught them? Or what's online? What is
online done to our young girls? US high schoolers are
(09:20):
less likely now than in the past to say that
they want to get married someday, and a smaller share
today say they're very likely to have children if they
do not get married. So in nineteen ninety three, eighty
(09:42):
percent of girls plan to get married, only five percent
plan to not get married. That's down to sixty seven percent.
As of twenty twenty three, sixty seven percent the nation's
twelfth graders say they'll likely choose to get married someday,
(10:03):
down from eighty percent. But look at the same thing.
Boys are more likely than girls to say they want
to get married someday seventy four to sixty one percent.
In nineteen ninety three, a larger share of girls eighty
(10:23):
three percent than boys seventy six percent said they want
to get married. There's some kind of shift going on.
I don't know if it's if it's the influence of online,
if it's the influence of indoctrination and education. But now
boys think more about marriage than girls. And for the
girls who less and less are thinking about marriage, they
all still plan to have kids, as if the marriage
(10:44):
has nothing to do with parenthood. And think about all
the little steps we've taken to this moment. Oh two
families are better than one, A suplit family is better
than a family living in turmoil. I don't know if
(11:14):
covenant marriage exists or just licensed marriage exists. I don't
know what the percentage of failed marriages are. I don't
know what these kids are seeing that are making them.
You know, I can tell you that when I get
to heaven, I will look at God and say two things,
covenant marriage and parenting. That was the only two things
(11:37):
I found that weren't overrated. That to me, is what
makes life worth living. And I was on the short
end of the stick as a child, and my children
were on the long end of the stick. And having
seen both, I can tell you you can never love
(11:59):
your children more than you love their mother or you
love their father. I think instinctively that's what all kids want.
I can think of nothing that would devastate my children
more than if I divorced their mother for whatever reason.
But the fact that somebody has separated marriage and children
(12:26):
and think this is a good trend pretty troubling to me.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, the big vote will be tomorrow in the House
to see if the Epstein file should be open, and
the President is encouraging Republicans to open them.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Trump took to truth Social on Sunday night, saying there
is nothing to hide that it is time to move
on from what he called a Democrat hoax perpetrated by
radical left lunatics in order to deflect from the great
success of the Republican Party. The House is expected to
vote early this week on a measure that would force
the Department of Justice to release all of the Epstein files.
Many Republicans are expected to vote yes. If the measure passes,
(13:05):
it will go to the Senate, where it faces an
uncertain future.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Bym Mark Neefield speaking of the President and he's taking
aim at Indiana state Republican lawmakers overstalled redistricting efforts and.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
A truth social post Sunday, Trump specifically called out Senators
Rob Bray and Greg Good, saying he was quote very disappointed.
The President added that the lawmakers should do their job
and do it now, or let's get them out of
office asap. This comes after Bray said Friday there were
not enough votes to move forward with the plan and
that the Indiana Senate will not reconvene in December. I'm
(13:37):
Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
As of six am Eastern time, the FAA lifted the
flight restriction emergency order. Rob Martyr reports.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Officials announced the order will be lifted at six am
Eastern Time Monday, meaning flights will resume operations as normal.
A reduction in flights at forty major airports nationwide began
a week ago, meant to address fatigue and staffing issues
among air traffic controllers as the record long government shutdown continued.
According to a news release, the decision was made following
(14:04):
an FAA review of safety trends and due to the
steady decline of staffing trigger events in air traffic control facilities.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm Rob Martyr, Motley Cruz, Tommy Lee, Metallica's Kirk Hammett
and You Two's Zadam Clayton among those saying goodbye to
some of their gear. It's all a part of Julian's Played,
Worn and Torn charity auction. It's taking place this week
at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum at the
Historic Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. A portion of the proceeds will
(14:35):
benefit Music Cares An. Additional pieces from the auction will
also be supporting causes like Teen Cancer America, Gibson Gibs,
and Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital. Well the most popular
Thanksgiving side dish in America has been revealed. I sure
hope it's my mom's sweet potatoes. Mark Mayfield fills us in.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
According to the survey State of the Signs by Campbell's
stuffing remains the most popular sign dish this Thanksgiving. Mashed
potatoes came in second place, followed by sweet potatoes, mac
and cheese, and green bean casserole. He serving as sixty
three percent of Americans prefers science over turkey, and nearly
have say they would be happy with no turkey at
all and just a plateful of scides.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm Mark mayfielder. It is all about the sides, isn't it.
This is Richard from Plovilla, Georgia, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Giornea. Hey, it's

join us live and make us a part of your
(15:55):
morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the podcast. Coming up,
a visit with David Zanadia. The feud between Marjorie Taylor
Green and Donald Trump is also the feud over Israel.
I don't know. We're turning to see some chinks in
the Republican armor. And they've got a very difficult and
off a few years away from MAGA back to a
Republican party or to keep mag alive over the Republican Party.
(16:18):
Some of these disagreements could they have a building and
lasting impact on the upcoming midterm elections? Will run that
by our senior contributor David Zanati coming up next hour,
and our White House correspondent John Decker. In just a
few moments. It's thirty six minutes after the hour in
the Eastern time zone. You got twenty five minutes to
be to work on time by eight o'clock. And thanks
for bringing us along with you. This is your morning show.
(16:39):
I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the sound. Red's keeping an eye
on the content. The FAA has lifted its flight restriction
order at airports nationwide that went into effect six am
Eastern this morning. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says she received
threats on social media after being criticized by the President,
and hundreds of Federal National Guard troops will soon be
(17:00):
leaving Portland and Chicago. Sunday Night football had the Lions
falling sixteen to nine to the Eagles. Monday Night Football
tonight has the Dallas Cowboys in the desert Las Vegas
to take on the Raiders, which, by the way, Las
Vegas is still officially sinn city. I can't believe how
(17:20):
far New Orleans has fallen number one most sinful city
Las Vegas. Number two is now Houston. What goes out
in Houston that's sinful? Los Angeles was third, Philadelphia was fourth,
Atlanta was fifth, Denver was sixth, Miami was seventh, Dallas
was eighth, Phoenix was ninth. Maybe that's why people don't
(17:41):
say they're from Phoenix. And number ten now is New Orleans.
Didn't we used to New Orleans always be number two?
Do I know the least sinful place to go? Warwick,
Rhode Island? You know Red's been there. Do you know
where Warwick Wherehode Island is. Of course I did. Yeah,
it's the least sinful place, said Salt Lake City. I
(18:04):
would have thought that too. Huntsville, Alabama was second. Fremont,
California was Thirdville, Alabama was least sinful. Why oh, why
what'd you do in Huntsville? Welcome too that next hour,
try to build some cum here. John Decker is our
White House correspondent. The big vote is tomorrow and the
(18:27):
President shifting over the weekend encouraging Republicans to vote. What's
the vote? Release all the files on Jeffrey Epstein. John
Decker is here. Good morning, John, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
You know, I think the President saw the writing on
the wall. That is that a significant number of the
President's own allies and the House Republican Conference had indicated
publicly they would vote to force the Department of Justice
to release the Epstein files. The President did not want
to be on the wrong side of this, and that's
the reason for the president's reversal, he announced on social
(19:01):
media at about nine to fifteen Eastern time last night,
just before Marine one landed.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Back at the White House.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
I was actually at the White House last evening when
the President landed there no comments as he walked into
the residence, but clearly, you know, it's just remarkable to
see the about face by President Trump just over the
course of the past twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So it would seem with common sense that if there
was anything in the Epstein files that could hurt the president,
they would have been released years ago when the Democrats
were in charge. In fact, there was a time where
Cash Patel was calling for it, Dan Bongina was making
a living on it, much the same way the candae
Owen is with Charlie Kirk today. Then all of a sudden,
(19:44):
Cash Patel and Bongino head up the FBI, Donald Trump wins,
and then suddenly the Republicans don't want it open. I
don't know. I mean, it's either a big nothing burger
and there's nothing in there, John, we don't already know.
And it's as if it's a political football only as
long as it exists. That once it's revealed and the
mystery is gone, it doesn't have any weapon power. But
(20:08):
is anybody expecting anything shocking in here? I do you know?
The answer to that question is I don't know.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
And that same question was posed to Thomas Massey the
Republican congressman from Kentucky who's been leading the charge to
have the DOJ release these files. He has indicated publicly
he doesn't know, but he says, look, this is what
should be done as it relates to the victims of
Jeffrey Epstein. They should have essentially free access to everything
(20:38):
contained in those files to make those individuals feel whole
again to a certain extent, to see what it is
that the world knew as far as the prosecution team
of Jeffrey Epstein, and now the world will see ultimately
if indeed it passes the House and passes the Senate
and President Trump signs that led into law.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
To John Decker, the White House correspondent, by the way,
he is not bipolar or he just has several credentials.
So every now and that, I want him to know
which one I'm talking to. To the White House correspondent,
I would say, could be the President's flipping just to
make Marjorie Taylor Green now stand for nothing because they
seem to be at odds. He could be doing because
(21:22):
he said a trap and there's more embarrassing thing for Democrats.
He could be doing it for, is what you said
the writing on the wall. But the lawyer John Decker,
most of what's in here are from depositions. In other words,
there was never a trial to where any of this
has been proven. And now because the defendant is dead,
(21:43):
these sealed depositions or whatever in these files will now
be revealed and they may not necessarily have been proven true.
Is that legally very sound to do? Well?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Look, you know, I think that you're also forgetting the
fact that there's also grand jury testimony that would also
be released. Is part of those Epstein's files. We don't
know what kind of testimony was given before a grand
jury that is secretive. The only way it can be
released is through this process that we're talking about right here.
You may recall a judge has refused to release that material.
(22:15):
So this is really the only way to get to
that material. And you know, I think anybody would be
guessing to say what they think is contained in those files.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Is there a smoking gun? Is there a smoking gun?
Speaker 7 (22:26):
As it relates to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers,
the former president of Harvard University, We simply don't know.
The President has raised a very good point if there
was something contained in these files that was damaging to him,
then you would assume Democrats would have certainly thought to
release that information prior to the twenty twenty four presidential election,
(22:49):
and they never did that, So that's a head scratcher
as well.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All Right, last question is do they have the House
and the Do they have the votes in the House
and the President's occurring Republicans to vote for it? The
answer is probably, of course. Do they have the votes
in the Senate? Though?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Well, I think that if indeed the House goes on
the record and there's a significant number of Republicans Thomas
Masthew was talking about dozens of Republicans supporting this type
of measure, I think it would pass the Senate. The
big question though, is just looking down the road gaming
this out, is there a veto proof majority if indeed
(23:26):
the President changes his mind once again and decides to
veto this measure. It doesn't look like that would be
the case. I don't think that you'd have a veto
proof majority in the House or.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The Senate, but you never know. Momentum is a strange thing.
Michael John Decker, if you want to hear more from
the White House, his podcast, The White House Briefing Room,
will be up by nine Eastern eighth Center and we'll
talk again tomorrow. God bless you, my friend. We'll talk
to Michael all right. If you're just waking up, these
are your top five stories of the day. We have
done the math on this Newmeroluno and it doesn't make
(24:00):
any sense to us. First of all, the Goldmans have
to wait thirty years. So much for speedy justice. The
Simpson estate has agreed to pay the Goldman family fifty
eight million dollars. Problem is, from all the records we've perused,
the Simpson estate is only worth three million. Something doesn't
(24:21):
add up. Tammy Tricheo has the details.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
According to court documents, the estate executors accepted the family's claim,
which was originally filed in twenty twenty one, for one
hundred and seventeen million. It's not clear how much the
estate will be able to raise from selling Simpson's assets.
Simpson died in April of twenty twenty four. He was
acquitted of the nineteen ninety four murders of his ex wife,
Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman, but was found liable in
(24:45):
civil court. I'm Tammy Trichello.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Republican Congressman Wan Marjorie Taylor Green is pushing back on
President Trump's recent criticism of her.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
The Republican from Georgia TELCNN State of the Union. Some
of the President's recent comments about her have been hurtful.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
He called me r and that is so extremely.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Wrong, saying the feud erupted after she signed a discharge
petition to force a vote to release files related to
the convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
I don't believe that rich, powerful people should be protected
if they have if they have done anything wrong.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
In a social media post, the President also called Green
a ranting lunatic and said she'd gone far left.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Well, my daughters and wife
have drugged me to wicked, and they'll drag me to
wicked again. But I'm gonna draw the line at this.
Guess what's coming to the big screen.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
A Lo Boom Boom movie is in the works. Sony
Pictures has acquired the screen rights to the plush toy
and is in early development of a feature film. A
deal was reportedly signed last week with the Chinese toy makers.
No producer or filmmaker is attached yet to the project,
and it's unclear if the film would be a live
action or animated. Potential character would include, of course, La Booboo,
(26:01):
the lead monster doll, as well as fellow monsters Zimomo,
companion Mecco, and boyfriend ty Coco.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I think everything that needs electricity needs to be turned off.
I'm just talking boo bool Coco. What is going on?
Fool shoe boo loom shoeedly de do. A record number
of Americans are traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Nearly eighty two million people will travel for Turkey Day.
Seventy three million are expected to drive, and six million
will fly, But Triple A says some flyers may opt
to drive instead because of flight disruptions tied to the shutdown.
Cruise vacations are increasingly popular over the long Thanksgiving weekend.
Top domestic destinations include Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. Paris, Amsterdam,
(26:47):
and Vienna are the top international spots.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm rory O'Neil all right. The Lions fell to six
and four last night, losing sixteen to nine to the Eagles.
If you fell asleep on Sunday, Night Football. Monday Night
Football Tonight has the Cowboys taking on the Raiders in
Las Vegas. On the ice, Preads played a couple in Sweeten.
Was it Sweden? I believe it was Sweden. They won
the first game but lost yesterday four nothing to the Penguins.
Lightning struck down by the Canooks six to two, and
(27:14):
the Red Wings won two to one in overtime over
the Rangers on the Hardwood Hawks with forty seven in
the fourth quarter. Son's lost one twenty four one twenty
two to Atlanta, King's lost one twenty three one ten
to the Spurs, and the Blazers lost in overtime one
thirty eight one thirty three to the MAVs in Dallas.
Birthdays Today from the Notebook from Wedding Crasher from the
Family Stone? Do I have to go through everything to
(27:36):
please you? Read? Yeah? What was the hijack? One was good?
Red Eye was another good one. The beautiful rat, mean girls,
We forgot mean girls. Rachel McAdams is forty seven years old.
Do I say from Taxi or Jersey? Mike Standy DeVito's
eighty one, The Great Director Martin Scorsese is eighty three,
and Sarah Night Live producer Lauren Michaels is eighty two.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday, We're so glad you
(27:58):
were born, and thanks for waking up with your morning show.
All right, your sounds of the day are next. History
shows that every market falls, every currency collapses. In Today,
the dollar is shrinking. We're trillions thirty seven trillion in debt,
record high markets defying gravity. But stocks can't go up forever. Meanwhile, groceries, housing, transportation,
(28:20):
those costs are all rising. And your dollar it's buying
less every day. So if and when the crash hits,
your stocks won't save you. Dollars won't either. One thing will. Gold.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's the moment you've all been waiting for. Fifty two
minutes after the hour. This is where you don't need
a host. You don't need somebody to tell you what
to think. We just hear for ourselves and decide for ourselves.
They're always revealing and they're often entertaining. They're your sounds
of the day. All right, everybody block alone. Look, you
just gotta try harder, not the sawce. I'm god for
the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with your averty
deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Politics. You don't know us, all right, so we often
explain what is bias. Well, you can conduct bias by
the stories you cover, the stories you ignore, the angles
you choose to discuss the angles you ignore, the people
you talk to, the people you don't, the questions you ask,
the questions you don't, the answers you use, the answers
(30:11):
you don't, And then sometimes let's get back to the
main one. Sometimes it's all in the question that this
is Katie Kirk with John Fetterman, No wonder he fell
right after this?
Speaker 12 (30:24):
You think that flag should have been flown at half staff?
Do you think his body should have been flown on
Air Force two? Do you think he should have posthumously
be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
Speaker 11 (30:37):
I think some people felt that that was.
Speaker 12 (30:41):
Perhaps over the top in terms of mourning someone like
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
What do you I wonder what she meant by I
wish he would have said, what do you mean by
someone like Charlie Kirk? Because depending on that answer, I
might have agreed with her. I presume she doesn't want
to talk at length about the government shutdown, or maybe
she does not knowing that nearly seven out of ten
of Americans were against the government shutdown. But let's just
(31:12):
pick on Fetterman time. And here's this long loaded question.
I mean, everything was in there except for when are
you going to stop beating your wife?
Speaker 11 (31:21):
Listen, how did you feel about that?
Speaker 13 (31:24):
I'd say that that was his choice and his prerogative,
and that's that's where that's uh, that was up.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
That was really entirely up to him.
Speaker 12 (31:32):
Did you have any issues now, in hindsight over some
of the things that Charlie Kirk said and some of
the rhetoric he used during his life.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I didn't agree with with much of it.
Speaker 13 (31:46):
I didn't closely followed his specific kinds of views, but
I did.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
I'm sure you learned about them after his death.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Though, Uh, why is this woman still doing but I know,
it's just it's so ridiculous. Why is she still doing videos?
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Though?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I mean, she left the Today Show, she failed as
a CBS news anchor, she disappears for a while, and
now she just does these very partisan attack videos online
only later being try still trying to be gotcha katy
kind of a thing. Now, listen, I will tell you
(32:21):
for the record, and I think it's late to be
having this conversation. There were a lot of things that
made me uncomfortable. That was certainly unprecedented for a vice
president of the United States to go pick up someone,
but we discussed it in real time, But that vice
(32:41):
president probably isn't vice president if Charlie Kirk doesn't talk
Donald Trump Junior into talking his father into choosing him
over Mark Rubio. But it is unprecedented for a vice
president to go pick up a civilian body after a
murder and certainly transport the body on Air Force Wars two.
Let alone have a major stadium memorial service where an
(33:06):
entire cabinet is present, let alone fireworks. I mean, I
have a lot of questions, but why that now? Why
Katie Kirk? Because they have no tolerance for fetterment. It's
a gotcha attempt to destroy fetterman, and they'll use whatever
(33:27):
they have to to do it, just like I suspect
they're going to be using Marjorie Taylor Green, next congress woman.
Speaker 14 (33:34):
You posted on x that President Trump is with his comments,
fueling a quote hotbed of threats against you. Obviously, any
threats to your safety are completely unacceptable, but we have
seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from the President
at other people. It's not new, and with respect, I
(33:55):
haven't heard you speak out about it until it was
directed at you, Danna.
Speaker 10 (34:03):
I think that's fair criticism, and I would like to
say humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic
UH politics. It's it's very bad for our country, and
it's been something I've thought about a lot, especially since
Charlie Kirk was assassinated, is that we I'm only responsible for.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Myself about two assassination attempts on the President of the
clocks telling me amount of time we're gonna have to
do a part two. Maybe Red said something earlier she's
the Jasmine Crockett of the Republican Party. No, I think
she's the Fetterman of the Republican Party. Now they're gonna
you are. Now the movement's going to be to get
her out of the party. The left's gonna clamor on
(34:47):
to her the way the right is clamor down to Fetterman.
I mean, it's just I could be wrong, but are
you sick of all this partisan politics as much as
I am.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Journo.
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like wilm and
w DOOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And We're going
to need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This is your.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Thank you, Mike McCant. Seven minutes after the hour of
Welcome to Monday, November seventeenth, Vlord twenty twenty five on
the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
your Morning Show. The FAA has lifted its flight restriction
order at airports nationwide that went into effect at six
Eastern this morning. Could things be back to normal in
time for Thanksgiving? Travel House is set to vote tomorrow
(00:58):
on a measure to require the Department of Justice to
release all of the files pertaining to the late sex
offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the President says he wants the
Republicans to pass that, and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says
she's receiving threats on social media after being criticized by
the President. We're struggling to figure out who really even
(01:19):
thinks about Marjorie Taylor Green. And kind of a sleepy
game last night and didn't turn out well for the Lions.
They fall to six and four, losing sixteen to nine
to the Eagles in Philadelphia. And tonight, Monday Night Football
brings us to the desert the Cowboys in Las Vegas
to take on the Raiders. Rory o'neilis here. The hidden
(01:41):
provisions within the bill to reopen the government could upend
the hemp industry, effectively criminalizing most THHC infused products now
sold in the United States. Rory, this is a ripple
effect that could get all the way to wreck creational
use of marijuana, is what the left is saying. We're
(02:04):
struggling to find a way to care about this as well.
But I may have listeners that need these things. I
just want to be objective. So what's in the bill
and what do we think is going to happen. Well,
it's a law now.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And this is a thirty billion dollar industry that really
has grown since the past seven eight years since that
Farm bill was passed in twenty eighteen. And what was
signed last week into law essentially amends that twenty eighteen
Farm Bill to block this loophole that was in this legislation.
So the law now caps the THCHC amount that can
(02:36):
be in these products at what point four milligrams of
total THHC per container, which is nothing because a single
hemp gummy typically has two point five to up to
ten milligrams of THHC.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So essentially this would.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Ban that whole industry again now worth about thirty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And so the ban takes effect next year.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The supporters of this are hoping they can work their
magic with the legislature and try to get this change
back before that new deadline comes into it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I am I am completely in the dark on all
of this, so I won't even try to put on
a pretense of somebody that gets it. So uh yeah, no,
I mean, and I'm not doing that just to look pious.
I'm just trying to think, all right, so you're why
just gummies? I mean, what all can you buy at
these stores, because there's there's the the what are the
(03:31):
the inhalable ones, what are the vapes? What about the vapes? Yeah,
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, this is for anything that's infused, these infused products,
and that would likely extend to the vape industry as well.
So yeah, and then it's going to depend on the
milligrams allowed. And the concern is we've gotten all used
to these products being out there that then suddenly this
turns into an underground kind of operation, so that you're
buying the gummy that Joe makes from his basement and
(03:56):
you don't really know what's in it versus some of
these much more lated, professionally done produced edibles and gummies
that are almost ubiquitous at this point. Then it gets
into issues about whether or not items can cross state
lines and what state laws say and federal laws and
what specific products might come out of production. So let's
(04:19):
see how much this becomes a lobbying effort, because again,
three hundred thousand people, thirty billion dollars, they may have
enough pull on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You know, when you legalize gaming, you wonder what happens
to the old bookies? Do people still use them? When
you legalize these drugs. What happens to people that used
to sell it illegally? Are they still out there? Well?
Los Angeles kind of found and we were looking at
a story earlier this morning. We're in La there they're
wanting now to be subsidized because they're not making money.
Turns out people are already going to what would we
(04:50):
call them, they're not dealers anymore. They'd be third party,
non authorized what effort? All right? So point four. So
it would be so great, I would presume, and especially
as strong as some of this stuff has been, the
resistance levels, it would be so weakened it would be unusable.
Is the right conclusion? Right?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And essentially would put them out of business. And I'm
just checking while you're speaking. And yes, gummies, drinks, and
vapes all included in these new guidelines.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
For yeah, next year, next net, with a lot of
time to reverse it. Right, All right, Roy is here.
We're going to be back in the third hour. Several
policy changes occurred for President Trump over the weekend. Some
tariffs are being reversed. Ice is now moving into Charlotte
after years of supporting Marjorie Taylor Green. It looks like
(05:40):
that honeymoon is over wire, will be back with that story,
won't kind of kick around some of that with David
Sinati as well. All right, twelve minutes after the hour.
One of the big stories today that we were looking
at was who were the big winners and losers of
the shutdown? And so Rasmussen does the report. Sixty seven
percent of likely voters approved the decision to end the
(06:01):
government shut down. So think back when it was shutting
prior to it shutting down, and as it was shutting down,
think of all the different Democrats that were on talking
head television and speaking against this, or the networks themselves
treating it like it was something bad, some big cave
that is out of step with nearly seven to ten Americans.
(06:24):
Forty four percent strongly approved the government reopening. I wish
now they'd get that serious about how it operates when
it's open and piling up thirty seven trillion dollars a debt.
But there's no question America wanted the government open, So
anybody that stood for the closing of the government was
(06:46):
on the wrong end of this. Only eleven percent strongly disapproved.
So what is this socialist, hell bent far left opposition party.
When it comes to getting so out of hand that
you shut down the government, you represent about eleven percent
of the American people. Good luck with that in the midterms. Now,
(07:09):
which party fared better? That's a different question. And forty
nine percent of voters believe the Republicans benefited most politically
from ending the government shutdown. Just eighteen percent think the
Democrats did. That leaves thirty three percent under not sure
or I have no use for either of them. Voters
are divided over who is the most to blame for
(07:31):
the government shutdown, thirty nine percent blaming Republicans, thirty seven
percent blaming Democrats, twenty one percent percent blaming both parties equally.
Fifty eight percent of Democrat voters believe Republicans in Congress
are mostly to blame Big Shock right, Fifty seven percent
of Republican voters think Democrats. Among non affiliated voters, I
(07:52):
guess they get to be the tiebreaker, thirty three percent
blame to Republicans, thirty one percent blame Democrats. But if
ultimately the Republicans stood for reopening the government and seven
out of ten Americans wanted it reopen, I think you
know who won. Seventy nine percent of Republicans, fifty nine
percent of Democrats, sixty two percent of unaffiliated voters are
at least at least somewhat approve of the decision to
(08:16):
end the shutdown. This was interesting. This was a Pew
Research poll in our polls of plenty and it's talking
to high school girls. Now, listen, before I even start
rattling off these statistics, remember that old analogy, careful dropping
(08:37):
your kids off, and that's if you waited till five.
Some of you would say you had to use preschool
as well. But presuming you drop them off at five,
don't be shocked when you drop them off at five
and pick them up at eighteen if they've become something
completely different. That's how much education has become in doctrination
and socialization. So, really, as I'm going to through all
(09:00):
these numbers, I really do think the question in your
mind should be what have they done to our young girls?
What have they taught them? Or what's online? What is
online done to our young girls? US high schoolers are
(09:20):
less likely now than in the past to say that
they want to get married someday, and a smaller share
today say they're very likely to have children if they
do not get married. So in nineteen ninety three, eighty
(09:42):
percent of girls plan to get married, only five percent
plan to not get married. That's down to sixty seven percent.
As of twenty twenty three, sixty seven percent the nation's
twelfth graders say they'll likely choose to get married someday,
(10:03):
down from eighty percent. But look at the same thing.
Boys are more likely than girls to say they want
to get married someday seventy four to sixty one percent.
In nineteen ninety three, a larger share of girls eighty
(10:23):
three percent than boys seventy six percent said they want
to get married. There's some kind of shift going on.
I don't know if it's if it's the influence of online,
if it's the influence of indoctrination and education. But now
boys think more about marriage than girls. And for the
girls who less and less are thinking about marriage, they
all still plan to have kids, as if the marriage
(10:44):
has nothing to do with parenthood. And think about all
the little steps we've taken to this moment. Oh two
families are better than one, A suplit family is better
than a family living in turmoil. I don't know if
(11:14):
covenant marriage exists or just licensed marriage exists. I don't
know what the percentage of failed marriages are. I don't
know what these kids are seeing that are making them.
You know, I can tell you that when I get
to heaven, I will look at God and say two things,
covenant marriage and parenting. That was the only two things
(11:37):
I found that weren't overrated. That to me, is what
makes life worth living. And I was on the short
end of the stick as a child, and my children
were on the long end of the stick. And having
seen both, I can tell you you can never love
(11:59):
your children more than you love their mother or you
love their father. I think instinctively that's what all kids want.
I can think of nothing that would devastate my children
more than if I divorced their mother for whatever reason.
But the fact that somebody has separated marriage and children
(12:26):
and think this is a good trend pretty troubling to me.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, the big vote will be tomorrow in the House
to see if the Epstein file should be open, and
the President is encouraging Republicans to open them.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Trump took to truth Social on Sunday night, saying there
is nothing to hide that it is time to move
on from what he called a Democrat hoax perpetrated by
radical left lunatics in order to deflect from the great
success of the Republican Party. The House is expected to
vote early this week on a measure that would force
the Department of Justice to release all of the Epstein files.
Many Republicans are expected to vote yes. If the measure passes,
(13:05):
it will go to the Senate, where it faces an
uncertain future.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Bym Mark Neefield speaking of the President and he's taking
aim at Indiana state Republican lawmakers overstalled redistricting efforts and.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
A truth social post Sunday, Trump specifically called out Senators
Rob Bray and Greg Good, saying he was quote very disappointed.
The President added that the lawmakers should do their job
and do it now, or let's get them out of
office asap. This comes after Bray said Friday there were
not enough votes to move forward with the plan and
that the Indiana Senate will not reconvene in December. I'm
(13:37):
Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
As of six am Eastern time, the FAA lifted the
flight restriction emergency order. Rob Martyr reports.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Officials announced the order will be lifted at six am
Eastern Time Monday, meaning flights will resume operations as normal.
A reduction in flights at forty major airports nationwide began
a week ago, meant to address fatigue and staffing issues
among air traffic controllers as the record long government shutdown continued.
According to a news release, the decision was made following
(14:04):
an FAA review of safety trends and due to the
steady decline of staffing trigger events in air traffic control facilities.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm Rob Martyr, Motley Cruz, Tommy Lee, Metallica's Kirk Hammett
and You Two's Zadam Clayton among those saying goodbye to
some of their gear. It's all a part of Julian's Played,
Worn and Torn charity auction. It's taking place this week
at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum at the
Historic Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. A portion of the proceeds will
(14:35):
benefit Music Cares An. Additional pieces from the auction will
also be supporting causes like Teen Cancer America, Gibson Gibs,
and Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital. Well the most popular
Thanksgiving side dish in America has been revealed. I sure
hope it's my mom's sweet potatoes. Mark Mayfield fills us in.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
According to the survey State of the Signs by Campbell's
stuffing remains the most popular sign dish this Thanksgiving. Mashed
potatoes came in second place, followed by sweet potatoes, mac
and cheese, and green bean casserole. He serving as sixty
three percent of Americans prefers science over turkey, and nearly
have say they would be happy with no turkey at
all and just a plateful of scides.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm Mark mayfielder. It is all about the sides, isn't it.
This is Richard from Plovilla, Georgia, and my morning show

morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the podcast. Coming up,
a visit with David Zanadia. The feud between Marjorie Taylor
Green and Donald Trump is also the feud over Israel.
I don't know. We're turning to see some chinks in
the Republican armor. And they've got a very difficult and
off a few years away from MAGA back to a
Republican party or to keep mag alive over the Republican Party.
(16:18):
Some of these disagreements could they have a building and
lasting impact on the upcoming midterm elections? Will run that
by our senior contributor David Zanati coming up next hour,
and our White House correspondent John Decker. In just a
few moments. It's thirty six minutes after the hour in
the Eastern time zone. You got twenty five minutes to
be to work on time by eight o'clock. And thanks
for bringing us along with you. This is your morning show.
(16:39):
I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the sound. Red's keeping an eye
on the content. The FAA has lifted its flight restriction
order at airports nationwide that went into effect six am
Eastern this morning. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says she received
threats on social media after being criticized by the President,
and hundreds of Federal National Guard troops will soon be
(17:00):
leaving Portland and Chicago. Sunday Night football had the Lions
falling sixteen to nine to the Eagles. Monday Night Football
tonight has the Dallas Cowboys in the desert Las Vegas
to take on the Raiders, which, by the way, Las
Vegas is still officially sinn city. I can't believe how
(17:20):
far New Orleans has fallen number one most sinful city
Las Vegas. Number two is now Houston. What goes out
in Houston that's sinful? Los Angeles was third, Philadelphia was fourth,
Atlanta was fifth, Denver was sixth, Miami was seventh, Dallas
was eighth, Phoenix was ninth. Maybe that's why people don't
(17:41):
say they're from Phoenix. And number ten now is New Orleans.
Didn't we used to New Orleans always be number two?
Do I know the least sinful place to go? Warwick,
Rhode Island? You know Red's been there. Do you know
where Warwick Wherehode Island is. Of course I did. Yeah,
it's the least sinful place, said Salt Lake City. I
(18:04):
would have thought that too. Huntsville, Alabama was second. Fremont,
California was Thirdville, Alabama was least sinful. Why oh, why
what'd you do in Huntsville? Welcome too that next hour,
try to build some cum here. John Decker is our
White House correspondent. The big vote is tomorrow and the
(18:27):
President shifting over the weekend encouraging Republicans to vote. What's
the vote? Release all the files on Jeffrey Epstein. John
Decker is here. Good morning, John, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
You know, I think the President saw the writing on
the wall. That is that a significant number of the
President's own allies and the House Republican Conference had indicated
publicly they would vote to force the Department of Justice
to release the Epstein files. The President did not want
to be on the wrong side of this, and that's
the reason for the president's reversal, he announced on social
(19:01):
media at about nine to fifteen Eastern time last night,
just before Marine one landed.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Back at the White House.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
I was actually at the White House last evening when
the President landed there no comments as he walked into
the residence, but clearly, you know, it's just remarkable to
see the about face by President Trump just over the
course of the past twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So it would seem with common sense that if there
was anything in the Epstein files that could hurt the president,
they would have been released years ago when the Democrats
were in charge. In fact, there was a time where
Cash Patel was calling for it, Dan Bongina was making
a living on it, much the same way the candae
Owen is with Charlie Kirk today. Then all of a sudden,
(19:44):
Cash Patel and Bongino head up the FBI, Donald Trump wins,
and then suddenly the Republicans don't want it open. I
don't know. I mean, it's either a big nothing burger
and there's nothing in there, John, we don't already know.
And it's as if it's a political football only as
long as it exists. That once it's revealed and the
mystery is gone, it doesn't have any weapon power. But
(20:08):
is anybody expecting anything shocking in here? I do you know?
The answer to that question is I don't know.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
And that same question was posed to Thomas Massey the
Republican congressman from Kentucky who's been leading the charge to
have the DOJ release these files. He has indicated publicly
he doesn't know, but he says, look, this is what
should be done as it relates to the victims of
Jeffrey Epstein. They should have essentially free access to everything
(20:38):
contained in those files to make those individuals feel whole
again to a certain extent, to see what it is
that the world knew as far as the prosecution team
of Jeffrey Epstein, and now the world will see ultimately
if indeed it passes the House and passes the Senate
and President Trump signs that led into law.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
To John Decker, the White House correspondent, by the way,
he is not bipolar or he just has several credentials.
So every now and that, I want him to know
which one I'm talking to. To the White House correspondent,
I would say, could be the President's flipping just to
make Marjorie Taylor Green now stand for nothing because they
seem to be at odds. He could be doing because
(21:22):
he said a trap and there's more embarrassing thing for Democrats.
He could be doing it for, is what you said
the writing on the wall. But the lawyer John Decker,
most of what's in here are from depositions. In other words,
there was never a trial to where any of this
has been proven. And now because the defendant is dead,
(21:43):
these sealed depositions or whatever in these files will now
be revealed and they may not necessarily have been proven true.
Is that legally very sound to do? Well?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Look, you know, I think that you're also forgetting the
fact that there's also grand jury testimony that would also
be released. Is part of those Epstein's files. We don't
know what kind of testimony was given before a grand
jury that is secretive. The only way it can be
released is through this process that we're talking about right here.
You may recall a judge has refused to release that material.
(22:15):
So this is really the only way to get to
that material. And you know, I think anybody would be
guessing to say what they think is contained in those files.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Is there a smoking gun? Is there a smoking gun?
Speaker 7 (22:26):
As it relates to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers,
the former president of Harvard University, We simply don't know.
The President has raised a very good point if there
was something contained in these files that was damaging to him,
then you would assume Democrats would have certainly thought to
release that information prior to the twenty twenty four presidential election,
(22:49):
and they never did that, So that's a head scratcher
as well.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All Right, last question is do they have the House
and the Do they have the votes in the House
and the President's occurring Republicans to vote for it? The
answer is probably, of course. Do they have the votes
in the Senate? Though?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Well, I think that if indeed the House goes on
the record and there's a significant number of Republicans Thomas
Masthew was talking about dozens of Republicans supporting this type
of measure, I think it would pass the Senate. The
big question though, is just looking down the road gaming
this out, is there a veto proof majority if indeed
(23:26):
the President changes his mind once again and decides to
veto this measure. It doesn't look like that would be
the case. I don't think that you'd have a veto
proof majority in the House or.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The Senate, but you never know. Momentum is a strange thing.
Michael John Decker, if you want to hear more from
the White House, his podcast, The White House Briefing Room,
will be up by nine Eastern eighth Center and we'll
talk again tomorrow. God bless you, my friend. We'll talk
to Michael all right. If you're just waking up, these
are your top five stories of the day. We have
done the math on this Newmeroluno and it doesn't make
(24:00):
any sense to us. First of all, the Goldmans have
to wait thirty years. So much for speedy justice. The
Simpson estate has agreed to pay the Goldman family fifty
eight million dollars. Problem is, from all the records we've perused,
the Simpson estate is only worth three million. Something doesn't
(24:21):
add up. Tammy Tricheo has the details.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
According to court documents, the estate executors accepted the family's claim,
which was originally filed in twenty twenty one, for one
hundred and seventeen million. It's not clear how much the
estate will be able to raise from selling Simpson's assets.
Simpson died in April of twenty twenty four. He was
acquitted of the nineteen ninety four murders of his ex wife,
Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman, but was found liable in
(24:45):
civil court. I'm Tammy Trichello.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Republican Congressman Wan Marjorie Taylor Green is pushing back on
President Trump's recent criticism of her.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
The Republican from Georgia TELCNN State of the Union. Some
of the President's recent comments about her have been hurtful.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
He called me r and that is so extremely.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Wrong, saying the feud erupted after she signed a discharge
petition to force a vote to release files related to
the convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
I don't believe that rich, powerful people should be protected
if they have if they have done anything wrong.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
In a social media post, the President also called Green
a ranting lunatic and said she'd gone far left.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Well, my daughters and wife
have drugged me to wicked, and they'll drag me to
wicked again. But I'm gonna draw the line at this.
Guess what's coming to the big screen.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
A Lo Boom Boom movie is in the works. Sony
Pictures has acquired the screen rights to the plush toy
and is in early development of a feature film. A
deal was reportedly signed last week with the Chinese toy makers.
No producer or filmmaker is attached yet to the project,
and it's unclear if the film would be a live
action or animated. Potential character would include, of course, La Booboo,
(26:01):
the lead monster doll, as well as fellow monsters Zimomo,
companion Mecco, and boyfriend ty Coco.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I think everything that needs electricity needs to be turned off.
I'm just talking boo bool Coco. What is going on?
Fool shoe boo loom shoeedly de do. A record number
of Americans are traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Nearly eighty two million people will travel for Turkey Day.
Seventy three million are expected to drive, and six million
will fly, But Triple A says some flyers may opt
to drive instead because of flight disruptions tied to the shutdown.
Cruise vacations are increasingly popular over the long Thanksgiving weekend.
Top domestic destinations include Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. Paris, Amsterdam,
(26:47):
and Vienna are the top international spots.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm rory O'Neil all right. The Lions fell to six
and four last night, losing sixteen to nine to the Eagles.
If you fell asleep on Sunday, Night Football. Monday Night
Football Tonight has the Cowboys taking on the Raiders in
Las Vegas. On the ice, Preads played a couple in Sweeten.
Was it Sweden? I believe it was Sweden. They won
the first game but lost yesterday four nothing to the Penguins.
Lightning struck down by the Canooks six to two, and
(27:14):
the Red Wings won two to one in overtime over
the Rangers on the Hardwood Hawks with forty seven in
the fourth quarter. Son's lost one twenty four one twenty
two to Atlanta, King's lost one twenty three one ten
to the Spurs, and the Blazers lost in overtime one
thirty eight one thirty three to the MAVs in Dallas.
Birthdays Today from the Notebook from Wedding Crasher from the
Family Stone? Do I have to go through everything to
(27:36):
please you? Read? Yeah? What was the hijack? One was good?
Red Eye was another good one. The beautiful rat, mean girls,
We forgot mean girls. Rachel McAdams is forty seven years old.
Do I say from Taxi or Jersey? Mike Standy DeVito's
eighty one, The Great Director Martin Scorsese is eighty three,
and Sarah Night Live producer Lauren Michaels is eighty two.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday, We're so glad you
(27:58):
were born, and thanks for waking up with your morning show.
All right, your sounds of the day are next. History
shows that every market falls, every currency collapses. In Today,
the dollar is shrinking. We're trillions thirty seven trillion in debt,
record high markets defying gravity. But stocks can't go up forever. Meanwhile, groceries, housing, transportation,
(28:20):
those costs are all rising. And your dollar it's buying
less every day. So if and when the crash hits,
your stocks won't save you. Dollars won't either. One thing will. Gold.
Gold has always survived. That's why central banks are buying
up gold by the ton. Billionaires are stocking up even everyday.
Americans are protecting their savings and retirement with physical gold.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's the moment you've all been waiting for. Fifty two
minutes after the hour. This is where you don't need
a host. You don't need somebody to tell you what
to think. We just hear for ourselves and decide for ourselves.
They're always revealing and they're often entertaining. They're your sounds
of the day. All right, everybody block alone. Look, you
just gotta try harder, not the sawce. I'm god for
the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with your averty
deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Politics. You don't know us, all right, so we often
explain what is bias. Well, you can conduct bias by
the stories you cover, the stories you ignore, the angles
you choose to discuss the angles you ignore, the people
you talk to, the people you don't, the questions you ask,
the questions you don't, the answers you use, the answers
(30:11):
you don't, And then sometimes let's get back to the
main one. Sometimes it's all in the question that this
is Katie Kirk with John Fetterman, No wonder he fell
right after this?
Speaker 12 (30:24):
You think that flag should have been flown at half staff?
Do you think his body should have been flown on
Air Force two? Do you think he should have posthumously
be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
Speaker 11 (30:37):
I think some people felt that that was.
Speaker 12 (30:41):
Perhaps over the top in terms of mourning someone like
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
What do you I wonder what she meant by I
wish he would have said, what do you mean by
someone like Charlie Kirk? Because depending on that answer, I
might have agreed with her. I presume she doesn't want
to talk at length about the government shutdown, or maybe
she does not knowing that nearly seven out of ten
of Americans were against the government shutdown. But let's just
(31:12):
pick on Fetterman time. And here's this long loaded question.
I mean, everything was in there except for when are
you going to stop beating your wife?
Speaker 11 (31:21):
Listen, how did you feel about that?
Speaker 13 (31:24):
I'd say that that was his choice and his prerogative,
and that's that's where that's uh, that was up.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
That was really entirely up to him.
Speaker 12 (31:32):
Did you have any issues now, in hindsight over some
of the things that Charlie Kirk said and some of
the rhetoric he used during his life.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I didn't agree with with much of it.
Speaker 13 (31:46):
I didn't closely followed his specific kinds of views, but
I did.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
I'm sure you learned about them after his death.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Though, Uh, why is this woman still doing but I know,
it's just it's so ridiculous. Why is she still doing videos?
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Though?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I mean, she left the Today Show, she failed as
a CBS news anchor, she disappears for a while, and
now she just does these very partisan attack videos online
only later being try still trying to be gotcha katy
kind of a thing. Now, listen, I will tell you
(32:21):
for the record, and I think it's late to be
having this conversation. There were a lot of things that
made me uncomfortable. That was certainly unprecedented for a vice
president of the United States to go pick up someone,
but we discussed it in real time, But that vice
(32:41):
president probably isn't vice president if Charlie Kirk doesn't talk
Donald Trump Junior into talking his father into choosing him
over Mark Rubio. But it is unprecedented for a vice
president to go pick up a civilian body after a
murder and certainly transport the body on Air Force Wars two.
Let alone have a major stadium memorial service where an
(33:06):
entire cabinet is present, let alone fireworks. I mean, I
have a lot of questions, but why that now? Why
Katie Kirk? Because they have no tolerance for fetterment. It's
a gotcha attempt to destroy fetterman, and they'll use whatever
(33:27):
they have to to do it, just like I suspect
they're going to be using Marjorie Taylor Green, next congress woman.
Speaker 14 (33:34):
You posted on x that President Trump is with his comments,
fueling a quote hotbed of threats against you. Obviously, any
threats to your safety are completely unacceptable, but we have
seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from the President
at other people. It's not new, and with respect, I
(33:55):
haven't heard you speak out about it until it was
directed at you, Danna.
Speaker 10 (34:03):
I think that's fair criticism, and I would like to
say humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic
UH politics. It's it's very bad for our country, and
it's been something I've thought about a lot, especially since
Charlie Kirk was assassinated, is that we I'm only responsible for.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Myself about two assassination attempts on the President of the
clocks telling me amount of time we're gonna have to
do a part two. Maybe Red said something earlier she's
the Jasmine Crockett of the Republican Party. No, I think
she's the Fetterman of the Republican Party. Now they're gonna
you are. Now the movement's going to be to get
her out of the party. The left's gonna clamor on
(34:47):
to her the way the right is clamor down to Fetterman.
I mean, it's just I could be wrong, but are
you sick of all this partisan politics as much as
I am.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Journo.

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.
