Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Enjoy Warding off Right, a new way of talk, a
new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell, Jordan, Mike
mccan't sure.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
My take on things are certainly insightful, eye popping on
my dad, unique fresh, complete analysis. But all that really
matters is what you think. Can't have your morning show
without your voice.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
To DEBI we go, you know trumps smart the most,
and I say, wait and see, because he's not done
dealing with Mandami. The other thing I was going to
say is, yeah, he's got an ego, but it is
not bigger than his concern for this country. And so
(01:15):
I think that the ego is just a minor thing.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We need to trust him, Angela. I would say that
he's definitely keeping his enemy closer, because while we're all
playing checkers, Trump's playing four D chess.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
And I've just learned to trust him.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I don't let him make me mad because it always
comes out great in the end.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Oh to die and come back as Lieutenant Colonel James
Carafano's frequent flyer Miles or Donald Trump, or even when
he does something wrong, it's perceived as chess.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I could do no wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Look my take on the crazy visit with Mom Donne
in the Oval office Number one. Donald Trump is a
great disruptor. That was certainly a great disruptive moment. He
does believe in keeping friends close, but enemies even closer.
It felt immediately like putin Kim Jong un, Mom Donnie.
And he knows that those kinds of enemies don't need
any help in defeating themselves. And yeah, I did mention.
(02:12):
He does have a big ego. He loves attention. This
was a big attention moment. He's always about the deal
and sometimes principles are fluid. I wouldn't let anybody call
me a fascist when I'm not or despot when I'm not.
But could this be as simple as my theory, which is,
once you drain all of the oxygen, all of the
(02:39):
controversy out of this whole situation, you also drain the
fuel of the runaway momentum of the socialist train. It
could be as simple as that. Our National correspondent Roy
o'neilis here. We're gonna talk about home values here in
one quick second. But Rory, that was not what we
were expecting Friday.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Uh no, not at all. On both sides.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
That all seemed to deny anything that had been said
over the past six or eight months. And here we are,
now let's all work together, kumbaya, and we're all rowing
in the same direction on this boat.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
So pretty remarkable turnaround.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
But you know me, it's it's smart politics for both
of them in order to try to say, all right, look,
we disagree on a lot, let's find where we have
some common ground and try to make progress there. I
think it's funny do you do this, Do you try
to give up the answer to when people are asked questions.
I was trying to put myself in, you know, and
how would they answer the question? And I don't my
(03:34):
response would have been, this isn't about our relationship. This
is about how we conserve the American people. In my case,
the New Yorkers, like that's what this focus is. It
shouldn't be on us two guys.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And I would like the way you handled it better
than the way they did. I don't think it's just
funny because it came up also with some of the
rhetoric of oh, I'm plank on her name, she's running
for governor in New York.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Stefanic cool. Oh yeah, at least Devonic, at.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Least Stefana called him a jihadist, and they joked about that. Look,
there are gie hottists. It's not a funny topic. There
are fascists. It's not a funny topic. There are despots.
It's not a funny topic. I mean, all of this
loose play, and you know, that's just things we say when.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We're running for office.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I look, I would have stood on principle on some
of these things. But I know there's a lot of
people on the far right angry at the President for
being nice to a socialist and assuming that suddenly socialism
will work for New York City. But there's got to
be a lot of people on the left angry that
Mam Donnie seem to get along with him so well
because he's not the monster. They're trying to make him well, right,
and why did he win?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Right?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I mean, it's clear that the president has now gotten
this accusation that he's not paying attention to the affordability crisis.
That's all Mam Donni has been talking about. Maybe people
don't like his solutions, but at least he's talking to
what they think is the biggest problem, basing them and
then by embracing Mamdani. Now Trump looks like he's addressing
the biggest concern out there.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, now that we did the funt topic, do we
have any time for the planned one?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Which one were we doing?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
The Brown Front?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No more than more than half the homes of lost
value in the past year. I guess that would all
depend on where they're at on a map.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, quick zil, Yeah, quick zilo. Note West and South
are seeing the biggest home declines. It's the first time though,
since twenty twelve, that they've seen more than half the
homes lose value. Now this is on paper, right, this
is only about four percent of homes actually lose value.
You know, they're selling it for less than what they
bought it for. But yeah, it's a troubling number to
see that fifty three percent now worth less than they
(05:32):
were a year ago.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Interest rates not coming down, home values less and we
haven't solved the supply side issues of this equation either.
Rory's gonna be back with Thanksgivil think I can say this,
I speak for a living Thanksgiving travel forecasts. We'll do
that in the third hour. Also, Chris Walker, you can
always count on Trump to keep you guessing. But a
love vest with a socialist mom, Donnie, we'll get the
(05:57):
Republican Party take on this and is Maga in trouble
and visit next half hour with David Sonati in a
culture of envy and equality, does Thanksgiving still even have
a place?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Let me share a personal story with you.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
My brother call whenever he does this out of the blue,
it's always a god thing. So he comes to me
out of the blue and he goes, man, I'm gonna
talk about gratitude. You've got to make sure before your
feet hit the ground in the morning, you state your gratitude.
And when he said it, my first thought was I
(06:37):
don't do that. Why don't I do that? That was instinctive. Now,
the Bible is very clear about thankfulness and for good reason,
And if you study the scriptures in context, you'll see why.
Because what's the opposite of being thankful? Ungrateful, thankless? That's
(07:05):
the short road to bitterness and resentment. We we'll talk
more about this with David Znati. But Thanksgiving is not
a holiday. If you're not thankful every moment, every day,
it's not gonna be a grain. It's going to be
just turkey and some football. Because it's not a holiday,
it's a holy posture. The Bible commands us to live
(07:31):
with thankful hearts. Thanksgiving. Thankfulness is essential to Christian life.
It aligns our heart with God. Now we tend to
not be thankful if one thing's going wrong. We're focused
on the one thing going wrong. But think about it
every morning when you get up. I have my wife. Wait, Michael,
(07:55):
I don't have my wife yet, but you have the
assurance you'll see her again through the resurrected Christ. Think
of everything you have and start your day with gratitude.
Thessalonians five eighteen give thanks in all circumstances. Why gratitude
is not situational. It's obedience, and he ties thankfulness to
(08:20):
his will. But at the root of that, forget all
of those thoughts. I wasn't trying to preach to you.
I saved that for Bishop Malicas er Jones or whatever
his date was. How can you celebrate Thanksgiving when you're
in a posture of victimhood and envy? That's really what's
(08:41):
at the root of the differences between Mom, Donnie and Trump.
I'll give you a great example. I thought this was spectacular.
You know me, I love memes because memes tend to
be like a just a beacon of just this little
like a homeless guy holding a sign in the midst
(09:03):
of all this chaos, and it's a truth. So somebody said,
what if we had a democratic socialist monopoly?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
How would that game be?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Well, as you're playing, every time you make a trip
around the board, you pass go. If you're the leader,
you must give one piece of property to the player
with the least property. Same goes for houses, hotels, et cetera.
Instead of collecting two hundred dollars, you pay income tax
of thirty five percent to be split between the other players.
(09:38):
You know what, happens. Soon no one's buying property, houses
or hotels. Eventually everyone quits trying. All you gotta do
is just keep going around the board and get your
free handout.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
And I get that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's that's socialism and how it kills work ethic, how
it kills innovation and job development and wealth development. Someone
achieves the American dream, it's not theirs alone. It usually
entails hundreds of employees with retirement plans. But what about
(10:16):
the spiritual side of it? If you're living in a
spirit of envy that anybody who has anything more than me,
no matter how much I have, which I couldn't tell
you because I'm not grateful for it, and I don't
over and over daily thank God for all that he
has provided. By the way, if you're thinking God as
(10:39):
your provider, you don't look for government to be your provider,
and you certainly don't have your eyes if you're grateful
on everything God has blessed you with, on what everybody
else has. But that's the culture we live in spiritually.
It's a culture of envy. Somebody has something more than me,
and it belongs to me, and if I can't have it,
they can't have it either. You better learn the difference
between envy and jealous because you will the hard way
(11:01):
with socialism. That is no small question. We're going to
ask next half hour and a culture of envy and equality?
Does Thanksgiving even have a place? Is it even possible
at a table on any given day? That's next half hour,
all right? Is really warplanes took out some Hezblah leaders
(11:24):
Efforts to continue to end the Russian Ukraine War. Now
we have the Secretary of State Marco Rubiu saying substantial
progress has been made over the weekend. While you're all
looking at Mom, Donnie and Trump, Marco's behind the scenes
maybe bringing an end to one of the wars. This
is just a chilling reminder that whether you focus on it,
(11:45):
the media reports on it, it's still happening, and it's
happening every day. As you're hitting your feet to the
ground and gratitude, you may want to thank God for
the country you live in rather than hate it is.
In Nigeria, more than three hundred students were producted by
a gunman at a private Catholic school. Wicked for Good
(12:06):
was number one at the box office, not nearly as
good as the first, but it made the two hundred
and twenty six million dollars worldwide and the Rams improved
to nine to two with a win over the Bucks
last night thirty four to seven. We have more of
your top five stories coming up in moments from now.
Do doctors have Black Friday sales? Well, the doctors at

This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono, Coast
to Coast.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Top of the Morning to you on this Monday, November
the twenty seventh. You have our Low twenty twenty five,
twenty six minutes after the hour, New York Mara elect
zoron mom Donnie is standing by his claims that President
Trump is a fascist, following their meeting in the White
House on Friday and with the President's blessing.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Apparently, Donnie made the comment during an interview with NBC's
Meet the Press.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
And that's the thing that I think is important in
our politics is that we don't shy away from where
we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that
brings us to that tape.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
The Oval Office meeting between the two was their first
since the Democratic Socialist was elected mayor. Both men brushed
off questions about the insults they hurled at each other
during Mom Donnie's campaign. I'm Tammy Trihillo.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Well, I guess they saw Mom Donnie find a kind Trump.
Why not give it a try? But Hesba la Hamas
they're no friends of America or israel I didn't stop
AMAS from calling for US intervention.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
After bombing and Lebanon.
Speaker 10 (14:23):
Israeli military officials said Saturday airstrikes in Gaza were in
response to what it called a blatant violation of the
ceasefire agreement. Authorities in Gaza say twenty four Palestinians were
killed and dozens more were wounded. Israel also announced strike
Saturday on several Hesbola launchers in central and southern Lebanon.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Most major retailers will be closed for Thanksgiving Day this year.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
The stores closed for the holiday include most, but not all,
Ace hardware stores. Aldi will close its stores for Thanksgiving,
along with Best Buy, but the tech retailers blackfrind. The
hours can be found online. Costco's warehouse stores will be
closed for the holiday, and its Black Friday hours are
available online. Dick Sporting Goods will be closed on Turkey Day,
(15:10):
but will open at six am or Black Friday shoppers.
Other stores opening bright and early on Friday include JC
Penny and Kohle's, which both will open at five am.
Happy Shopping, I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And with the return of holiday shopping season, so the
return of scammers.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Roory O'Neil reports.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Swindlers are getting more sophisticated conning. Even savvy online shoppers
beware lookalike digital storefronts, often using URLs that look similar
to the real thing. AI is being used to manufacture
celebrity endorsements to misdirect consumers to fraud lip websites. Online
shoppers are urged to use credit cards, not debit cards,
(15:52):
for the fraud protection they provide, paying the bill in
full at the end of the month.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I'm Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 12 (16:00):
I'm Joe Bigan, Tampa, and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:11):

The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
We invite you to listen live while you're getting ready
in the morning. It to take us along for the
drive to work. But as we always say, better late
than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
This is your morning show on the Aaron streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. I'm Michael Jeffrey's got those great sounds.
Red's keeping an eye on the content if you're just
waking up. Efforts to continue to end the Russian Ukraine
War now, with Secretary of State Marco Ruby Rubio saying
after meetings this weekend, substantial progress has been made. Israeli
warplanes targeted senior Hesbalah leaders over weekend air strikes in Lebanon.
(16:57):
More than three hundred students were abducted by a gun
at a private Catholic school in Nigeria and New York
City marilect Zoran Mamdani is standing by his claim the
president is a fascist, a despot, but he does so
with the blessings of the President and wicked for good,
wickedly successful one hundred and fifty million domestically two hundred
(17:18):
and twenty six million dollars worldwide over the weekend. My
daughter's and wife drug me i was told by my mother,
if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all.
So I'll simply say the songs were worse, the movie
was worse. I didn't cry. I thought it was lousy.
Rams improved in nine and two? Are the Los Angeles
Rams the best in the NFL? In other words, who
(17:41):
do you think would between the win with between the
Rams and the Patriots?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I mean, I think the Rams are the best in
the NFC that nobody ever talks about, never sees coming.
That's how they usually win Super Bowls. They might be
the best in the NFL. Boy, were they better than
the Bucks? Thirty four to seven last night on Sunday
Night football? And tonight we have Carolina and San at
Francisco on Monday Night? Aoin for Carolina, and I think
they h.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Atlanta won, so they can't. They can't be sole first
place in the West. I don't think I'd have to
look in the South. I'd have to look at that one.
I'm making things up now, Shame on me, all right, everybody,
All that aside, everybody's waking up this morning with one
thing on their mind. What the heck happened in the
(18:27):
Oval Office on Friday, and I've given you my take.
Don't forget Donald Trump is the great disruptor. Everybody was
expecting a war, a war of intimidation and words from
the Oval Office, and they got a love fest. Very disruptive.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Two.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Donald Trump always believes in keeping friends close and enemies
even closer. We see that with Kim Jong Un, we
see that with Putin. I guess that puts Mom Donnie
in that class. Yeah, he likes attention. Yeah, he's got
an ego. He's always in it for a deal. And
I guess principles can be fluid or could it be
(19:07):
as simple as you remove the controversy, you drain the
fuel from this socialism momentum and runaway train?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Or was it a big mistake? Is this the beginning
of the end of maga?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I mean, how do we arrive where Marjorie Taylor Green
is bad and a trader and Mom Donnie suddenly he's great.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
He's gonna do great things in New York. Listen, we
need people smarter than us.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
White House correspondent John Decker is here to unravel these
surprising developments that has everybody politically a buzz.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
That was my take. What's yours.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
Well, I think that what a lot of what you
say is right on point.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You know that idea of.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Keeping your enemies close to you is something that Trump
is always abided by. And as it relates to Marjorie
Taylor Green, you know what that demonstrates and margin try.
Taylor Green said this in her social media video that
loyalty is not a two way street with Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
He's proved that time and time again.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
You could not find anyone more loyal to Donald Trump
in MAGA than Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
She went to the mat for that guy.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
They disagreed on a few issues, but overall, you couldn't
find anyone more MAGA than Marjorie Taylor Green. So that
was a huge surprise when Marjorie Taylor Green made this
announcement on Friday night.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, I want to point something out too.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I can't remember what it is for senators, maybe five
years as well, but I want to say it was
eight for senators, but it's five for members of the
House of Representatives. I had one emailer and I know
he writes I never thought Marjorie Taylor Green was anything
but a grifter with her resigning, I've been proven right,
she resigns two days after she's fully vested in her
(20:50):
congressional pension.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And then read and.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I went back into the math, and it will literally
be two days after she's vested for her pension.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
But no, I would bring up Vice President Cident Pence.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right, there's somebody that was very faithful to the president
and he turned on him. But there's gonna be a
lot of people on the right going, wait a minute.
Marjorie Taylor Green, who was the MAGA house member, she's
a trader and mom Donnie, and socialism is suddenly good
for New York. I mean, if you put that, and
it's wonderful to have that as an excuse every time
you do something dumb, I can just say I'm playing chess.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
This is going to be a tough sell for the right.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
No, I think it is a tough sell.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I mean, think about what President Trump said about the
newly elected mayor of New York City as he was
running for mayor. He called him the communist mayor of
New York City. And the President really didn't walk that back.
And the President wants New York to do well. That's
where he and Mondamie actually are on the same page.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
It's just how do you get there?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
And clearly I think they're going to butt heads quite
a bit when it comes down to policy. Certainly, Mondamie
is not going to cooperate with President Trump and the
Trump administration as it relates immigration policy, as it relates
to cutting down on illegal immigration. And that's going to
be something which will I think, end this love fest
(22:09):
as you call it, Michael, between President Trump and the
person who will become Mayor of.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
New York City on January the first.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, and let me go back to I say, maybe
it's as simple as meaning, this is what I really
think the President was trying to achieve, and he may
have already achieved it, because Mom Donnie goes on all
the Sunday morning shows doubling down like a tough guy
that the president's a fascist, he's a despot. Well, he's
got the President's blessing to say that. And if you
(22:37):
think it's a war between the President and Mom Donnie,
you're gonna have a urt time making the case after
the way they behaved in the Oval office. So if
Mom Donnie fails, which, if you trust, socialism always fails,
he will. You can't blame it on Trump and you
take away the boogeyman image of the president after that meeting.
(22:58):
So I think it's as simple as you remove the controversy,
you drain the fuel from the momentum.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Well, what President Trump has proven time and time again
is he can let the bad words rub, you know,
off him. He doesn't really care about that. He made
that pretty clear in the Oval Office on Friday, is
what do you do?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
What are your actions? How do you act?
Speaker 9 (23:21):
And I think that's where the rubber hits the road
for President Trump. So you know, that's the reason why
one of his closest aids in his cabinet is Mark Rubio.
I think about the things that Mark Rubio said about
Donald Trump way back in twenty sixteen when they were
running for president. But it's how you act, And you know,
I think that man Damie. You know, we'll see how
(23:41):
he acts once he's torn in as New York City's
next mayor. I don't think it will please President Trump
with the actions that he takes as New York City's mayor,
But we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That is something that I think is an unknown.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
How will Mom Dami actually govern once he's sworn in.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Jadie Van said some choice words about the president. He's
the vice president right now. You can learn more, get
more insights from the White House with John Decker. He
has a podcast every morning, the White House Briefing Room
with John Decker. You can search it on your iHeart app.
When you find it, give it a preset that way,
it's always a button away. That'll be up by nine
Eastern eighth Center and we'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Michael, thank you, it's already up there. Have a good one,
Have a good.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
One, lessons, talk to you tomorrow. Davidson not He's the
CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He's the host of
the Public Square. He will be the co host of
Christmas in America, which will be performed live for broadcast
Sunday here in the Nashville area. He's also a very
close friend. You texted me immediately after the news conference.
(24:44):
I would tell you that my take this morning is
the same as my immediate take, but I knew what
your immedia take was. I don't know what to make
of this. What is your take now three days later
or two days later?
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Good morning, Mike, go, Good morning guys. Well it's Thanksgiving weekend.
Thank you for the opportunity to chat with you, and
for everybody who wonders, Michael, if we weren't on the radio,
I think we still be chatting most mornings of the week,
and I'm very thankful for our friendship and for your
(25:15):
work of service.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I want you to know that very much.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
I say that from a position of a volunteer on
the broadcast, not as a paid person working for iHeart
a premiere or for your morning show. I'm just very
grateful for what you're trying to do in the midst
of a darkening culture, which is to turn on more light,
because that.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Really is the fun one. I want to get to
that on Thanksgiving. But real quickly. Your take on what
you thought happened in the Oval Office.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
My take on the Oval Office, it beats the heck
out of me. I don't know, I have, I don't
never really gotten Donald Trump. I'm able to observe and
make analysis based upon the consequences of Trump's behaviors, action strategies, associates,
et cetera. As far as what goes on inside his
(26:02):
heart and mind, I simply I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, let's take him one at a time. Is this
another moment of great disruption?
Speaker 12 (26:09):
I'm sorry, Michael, this is going to be like I
plead the fifth I sincerely don't know the answer.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, everybody was expecting a fight and they didn't get
They didn't get a fight.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Well, did he learn something from the Zelenski blow up
that happened that those kinds of situations are good make
I don't know. Did he have a conversion moment where
the scripture talks about love your enemies and do good
to those who despitefully use you.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
That was that a moment of grace.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I'm not gonna know. I'm not going to go that far.
I think I do know what.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't know what about keep your friends close, but
keep your enemies even closer, because that was my first
instinct and discernment.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Oh, he thinks of him like a Putin and of
Kim Jong Unn.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
Well, the elite in America, and I'm sorry, the political
media elite in America, Republican and Democrats, but particularly Republicans,
have a very strange concept of loyalty Tea and.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Donald.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
I don't know. I do not understand why. I have
never thought a whole lot of Marjorie Tailor Green. She's
not my representative, so it's not my business. I'm just
an observer. But at that stage in the game, I
don't understand. On one day you throw one person not
out of the bus, and then back it up over
and and and then the next day you embrace a
(27:24):
guy who's calling you the most ferocious name.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I know you're you're not getting it is helping a
lot of people get it. I never liked Marjorie Taylor
Green at all, but I saw the way he treated her,
the way he treated Vice President Pence, and that's troubling.
I find it troubling that every time the president does
something that we should call into question, where to assume
(27:48):
it's just good chess when we're all dumb and thinking checkers.
I never let principals take a back seat to strategy.
Principles are more important than me. I would have fought
on the principles. I would have done it with a
loving heart. I wouldn't have done it with personal attacks.
Could it be he's trying to take all the controversy
(28:10):
and the fuel out of this socialist momentum.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
Yeah, oh, I'm sure in his mind he has a
strategy and about the only way to talk about this
is the what if game, which is very frustrating sometimes.
But what could have happened if we were trying to
get to a clear path of integrity on this or
some logic would have been for them to have met
totally in private and kept it proNT to everyone had
left in private, and then Mondommie had a chance to
(28:36):
say what he wants to stay back in New York
and Trump hass a chance to say what he wants
to say in Washington, and it would have been more
credible at this stage in the game. I questioned the
credibility of both the people in the process. I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Who should be more mad?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Maga American Conservative Republicans or the left?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
What a great question? Who should be more mad?
Speaker 6 (28:58):
That is a perfect question, it really is.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
That's the game they're playing, making us play.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
And a brilliantly structured one. On Thanksgiving, here's an idea.
Speaker 12 (29:07):
Let's see what should we argue about more on Thursday,
mon Damie and Trump.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Or don't put poo on my Thanksgiving brein, because what
we talk about about Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Here in a minute is way more important than this nonsense.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I hear you, I hear you. No, that's the right question.
Who should would be more?
Speaker 12 (29:22):
You know, all arguments, a good friend of mine used
to say, are the result of differing expectations. All arguments
are the results of differing expectations. That is the crisis
of MAGA right now. Does anyone even remotely remember how
the expectations got set?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
No? Tell us, Well, then I'll explain why I'm smiling.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
Yeah, they they got set off the top of the
board in endless political realities and nothing but extremeness at
the whole point in time.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
There it was.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
By the way, I'm frightened how much this smile looks
like my brother Bobby. Why am I smiling? Because while
this nonsense is all going on in the Oval office,
Marco Rubio is finalizing and making substantial progress in a
Russian Ukraine piece process. If MAGA is to stumble, if
(30:17):
MAGA is to crumble, guess who's waiting in the wings
to be the victor? Marco Rubio. Guess who I've supported
for twelve years Marco Rubio. Of course I'm smiling. I
think he's the big winner.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
No, I can attest to that too. I remember when
you were it was Rubio first. Rubio was your first choice.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Effect.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Do you remember my famous line about Ted Cruz.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
You loved it. It used to be one of your favorites.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
The idea of Ted Kruz Cruise is so much better
than the actual.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Than the actual.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yeah, yeah, Mine was how far can you get with
a billionaire in your pocket? And that was that whole reason, which,
by the way, is why Donald Trump became President of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I remember I said, look out for Rubio, he's the
next Jack Kennedy. And you said that he's going to
lose to Truman. I said, who's Truman? You said, and
you were right, that was Wrotten. Well, you were just
right early. I'll be right later. All right, David's going
to come back. We want to talk real quickly and
succinctly about this unless we're gonna end up in overtime.
But we actually got no overtime to go to, so
we'll get it. We'll get it done in a culture
(31:16):
of envy and equality. Soak that in because that is
our culture right now. We are not a nation under God,
indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We are the
divided States of America, and some kind of hybrid socialism
based on a spirit of envy and a goal of equality,
has nothing to do with the Constitution. Does Thanksgiving still
(31:37):
have a place? When your Morning show continues to ask.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Joino, there.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Is no way that we can do this in three minutes.
You may think we can do this in three minutes,
but I don't think we can do it in three minutes.
Closing moments with David's Andai, we may have to revisit
this tomorrow. In a culture of envy and equality, and
that's what we're living in. Does Thanksgivings still have a place?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (32:02):
The answer is simple. With one question, who's my source?
Boom powerful? Maybe you can do it in three minutes,
because if we don't have a thankful heart, who are
we really living for? And who are we really Depending
on who are we set our expectations upon, all arguments
are the result of differing expectations.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
If the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not I
shall not be in want.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
It's not a one day a year holiday.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
If that's what it is, I suspect it's going to
be about turkey and football. But if every morning before
your feet hit the ground. You go through everything with
your father that you're thankful for. That's a different trajectory,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Michael. I can tell you a quick story.
Speaker 12 (32:49):
I had a friend passed away with my first my
first pastor, and he had a lot of problems in
his life. His marriage wasn't the greatest in the world.
He had two kids with assistic fibrosis. He was a
pastor of a small cher Way way way, underemployed. Both
his children died before they were thirty, and he had
a life that he could be miserable with all the time.
But every time he felt led to self pity, he
(33:11):
would go out on call and call on people who
were sicker than his kids were, who were poorer than
he was, who had worse problems, solve him.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
And go and pray for them. A thankful heart leads
to faith. An ungrateful heart leads to lack of faith
and bitterness. You're not even doing yourself any favors again,
that we have we might have life and life abundantly.
You play by his rules and lived by his rules,
you will have an abundant life and an abundant eternity.
You don't you do so at your own peril. There's
no one between. You can't get away with not being
(33:42):
purposeful and thanksgiving. And to my brother's credit, I do
it every morning before my feet hit the ground, and
it's important to do.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
We get to talk tomorrow, right, Yeah, well you want
to do more on that? Or are you going to
rebut that?
Speaker 9 (33:57):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (33:57):
What are you going?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Not at all?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I'll be thankful then to give you give your answer
real quick. In a culture of envy inequality, does thanksgivings
still have a.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Place if we know who our sources? Yes?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Amen, now and forever. David's pick up on that. And
then I shared a song with David over the weekend
by AI in worship of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 12 (34:24):
And yes, you can read my text that's bound.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
To come and I might even play some Dana Carb
before you. All right, we'll do that tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld Joano
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Enjoy Warding off Right, a new way of talk, a
new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell, Jordan, Mike
mccan't sure.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
My take on things are certainly insightful, eye popping on
my dad, unique fresh, complete analysis. But all that really
matters is what you think. Can't have your morning show
without your voice.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
To DEBI we go, you know trumps smart the most,
and I say, wait and see, because he's not done
dealing with Mandami. The other thing I was going to
say is, yeah, he's got an ego, but it is
not bigger than his concern for this country. And so
(01:15):
I think that the ego is just a minor thing.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We need to trust him, Angela. I would say that
he's definitely keeping his enemy closer, because while we're all
playing checkers, Trump's playing four D chess.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
And I've just learned to trust him.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I don't let him make me mad because it always
comes out great in the end.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Oh to die and come back as Lieutenant Colonel James
Carafano's frequent flyer Miles or Donald Trump, or even when
he does something wrong, it's perceived as chess.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I could do no wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Look my take on the crazy visit with Mom Donne
in the Oval office Number one. Donald Trump is a
great disruptor. That was certainly a great disruptive moment. He
does believe in keeping friends close, but enemies even closer.
It felt immediately like putin Kim Jong un, Mom Donnie.
And he knows that those kinds of enemies don't need
any help in defeating themselves. And yeah, I did mention.
(02:12):
He does have a big ego. He loves attention. This
was a big attention moment. He's always about the deal
and sometimes principles are fluid. I wouldn't let anybody call
me a fascist when I'm not or despot when I'm not.
But could this be as simple as my theory, which is,
once you drain all of the oxygen, all of the
(02:39):
controversy out of this whole situation, you also drain the
fuel of the runaway momentum of the socialist train. It
could be as simple as that. Our National correspondent Roy
o'neilis here. We're gonna talk about home values here in
one quick second. But Rory, that was not what we
were expecting Friday.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Uh no, not at all. On both sides.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
That all seemed to deny anything that had been said
over the past six or eight months. And here we are,
now let's all work together, kumbaya, and we're all rowing
in the same direction on this boat.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
So pretty remarkable turnaround.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
But you know me, it's it's smart politics for both
of them in order to try to say, all right, look,
we disagree on a lot, let's find where we have
some common ground and try to make progress there. I
think it's funny do you do this, Do you try
to give up the answer to when people are asked questions.
I was trying to put myself in, you know, and
how would they answer the question? And I don't my
(03:34):
response would have been, this isn't about our relationship. This
is about how we conserve the American people. In my case,
the New Yorkers, like that's what this focus is. It
shouldn't be on us two guys.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And I would like the way you handled it better
than the way they did. I don't think it's just
funny because it came up also with some of the
rhetoric of oh, I'm plank on her name, she's running
for governor in New York.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Stefanic cool. Oh yeah, at least Devonic, at.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Least Stefana called him a jihadist, and they joked about that. Look,
there are gie hottists. It's not a funny topic. There
are fascists. It's not a funny topic. There are despots.
It's not a funny topic. I mean, all of this
loose play, and you know, that's just things we say when.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We're running for office.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I look, I would have stood on principle on some
of these things. But I know there's a lot of
people on the far right angry at the President for
being nice to a socialist and assuming that suddenly socialism
will work for New York City. But there's got to
be a lot of people on the left angry that
Mam Donnie seem to get along with him so well
because he's not the monster. They're trying to make him well, right,
and why did he win?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Right?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I mean, it's clear that the president has now gotten
this accusation that he's not paying attention to the affordability crisis.
That's all Mam Donni has been talking about. Maybe people
don't like his solutions, but at least he's talking to
what they think is the biggest problem, basing them and
then by embracing Mamdani. Now Trump looks like he's addressing
the biggest concern out there.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, now that we did the funt topic, do we
have any time for the planned one?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Which one were we doing?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
The Brown Front?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No more than more than half the homes of lost
value in the past year. I guess that would all
depend on where they're at on a map.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, quick zil, Yeah, quick zilo. Note West and South
are seeing the biggest home declines. It's the first time though,
since twenty twelve, that they've seen more than half the
homes lose value. Now this is on paper, right, this
is only about four percent of homes actually lose value.
You know, they're selling it for less than what they
bought it for. But yeah, it's a troubling number to
see that fifty three percent now worth less than they
(05:32):
were a year ago.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Interest rates not coming down, home values less and we
haven't solved the supply side issues of this equation either.
Rory's gonna be back with Thanksgivil think I can say this,
I speak for a living Thanksgiving travel forecasts. We'll do
that in the third hour. Also, Chris Walker, you can
always count on Trump to keep you guessing. But a
love vest with a socialist mom, Donnie, we'll get the
(05:57):
Republican Party take on this and is Maga in trouble
and visit next half hour with David Sonati in a
culture of envy and equality, does Thanksgiving still even have
a place?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Let me share a personal story with you.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
My brother call whenever he does this out of the blue,
it's always a god thing. So he comes to me
out of the blue and he goes, man, I'm gonna
talk about gratitude. You've got to make sure before your
feet hit the ground in the morning, you state your gratitude.
And when he said it, my first thought was I
(06:37):
don't do that. Why don't I do that? That was instinctive. Now,
the Bible is very clear about thankfulness and for good reason,
And if you study the scriptures in context, you'll see why.
Because what's the opposite of being thankful? Ungrateful, thankless? That's
(07:05):
the short road to bitterness and resentment. We we'll talk
more about this with David Znati. But Thanksgiving is not
a holiday. If you're not thankful every moment, every day,
it's not gonna be a grain. It's going to be
just turkey and some football. Because it's not a holiday,
it's a holy posture. The Bible commands us to live
(07:31):
with thankful hearts. Thanksgiving. Thankfulness is essential to Christian life.
It aligns our heart with God. Now we tend to
not be thankful if one thing's going wrong. We're focused
on the one thing going wrong. But think about it
every morning when you get up. I have my wife. Wait, Michael,
(07:55):
I don't have my wife yet, but you have the
assurance you'll see her again through the resurrected Christ. Think
of everything you have and start your day with gratitude.
Thessalonians five eighteen give thanks in all circumstances. Why gratitude
is not situational. It's obedience, and he ties thankfulness to
(08:20):
his will. But at the root of that, forget all
of those thoughts. I wasn't trying to preach to you.
I saved that for Bishop Malicas er Jones or whatever
his date was. How can you celebrate Thanksgiving when you're
in a posture of victimhood and envy? That's really what's
(08:41):
at the root of the differences between Mom, Donnie and Trump.
I'll give you a great example. I thought this was spectacular.
You know me, I love memes because memes tend to
be like a just a beacon of just this little
like a homeless guy holding a sign in the midst
(09:03):
of all this chaos, and it's a truth. So somebody said,
what if we had a democratic socialist monopoly?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
How would that game be?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Well, as you're playing, every time you make a trip
around the board, you pass go. If you're the leader,
you must give one piece of property to the player
with the least property. Same goes for houses, hotels, et cetera.
Instead of collecting two hundred dollars, you pay income tax
of thirty five percent to be split between the other players.
(09:38):
You know what, happens. Soon no one's buying property, houses
or hotels. Eventually everyone quits trying. All you gotta do
is just keep going around the board and get your
free handout.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
And I get that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's that's socialism and how it kills work ethic, how
it kills innovation and job development and wealth development. Someone
achieves the American dream, it's not theirs alone. It usually
entails hundreds of employees with retirement plans. But what about
(10:16):
the spiritual side of it? If you're living in a
spirit of envy that anybody who has anything more than me,
no matter how much I have, which I couldn't tell
you because I'm not grateful for it, and I don't
over and over daily thank God for all that he
has provided. By the way, if you're thinking God as
(10:39):
your provider, you don't look for government to be your provider,
and you certainly don't have your eyes if you're grateful
on everything God has blessed you with, on what everybody
else has. But that's the culture we live in spiritually.
It's a culture of envy. Somebody has something more than me,
and it belongs to me, and if I can't have it,
they can't have it either. You better learn the difference
between envy and jealous because you will the hard way
(11:01):
with socialism. That is no small question. We're going to
ask next half hour and a culture of envy and equality?
Does Thanksgiving even have a place? Is it even possible
at a table on any given day? That's next half hour,
all right? Is really warplanes took out some Hezblah leaders
(11:24):
Efforts to continue to end the Russian Ukraine War. Now
we have the Secretary of State Marco Rubiu saying substantial
progress has been made over the weekend. While you're all
looking at Mom, Donnie and Trump, Marco's behind the scenes
maybe bringing an end to one of the wars. This
is just a chilling reminder that whether you focus on it,
(11:45):
the media reports on it, it's still happening, and it's
happening every day. As you're hitting your feet to the
ground and gratitude, you may want to thank God for
the country you live in rather than hate it is.
In Nigeria, more than three hundred students were producted by
a gunman at a private Catholic school. Wicked for Good
(12:06):
was number one at the box office, not nearly as
good as the first, but it made the two hundred
and twenty six million dollars worldwide and the Rams improved
to nine to two with a win over the Bucks
last night thirty four to seven. We have more of
your top five stories coming up in moments from now.
Do doctors have Black Friday sales? Well, the doctors at

This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono, Coast
to Coast.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Top of the Morning to you on this Monday, November
the twenty seventh. You have our Low twenty twenty five,
twenty six minutes after the hour, New York Mara elect
zoron mom Donnie is standing by his claims that President
Trump is a fascist, following their meeting in the White
House on Friday and with the President's blessing.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Apparently, Donnie made the comment during an interview with NBC's
Meet the Press.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
And that's the thing that I think is important in
our politics is that we don't shy away from where
we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that
brings us to that tape.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
The Oval Office meeting between the two was their first
since the Democratic Socialist was elected mayor. Both men brushed
off questions about the insults they hurled at each other
during Mom Donnie's campaign. I'm Tammy Trihillo.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Well, I guess they saw Mom Donnie find a kind Trump.
Why not give it a try? But Hesba la Hamas
they're no friends of America or israel I didn't stop
AMAS from calling for US intervention.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
After bombing and Lebanon.
Speaker 10 (14:23):
Israeli military officials said Saturday airstrikes in Gaza were in
response to what it called a blatant violation of the
ceasefire agreement. Authorities in Gaza say twenty four Palestinians were
killed and dozens more were wounded. Israel also announced strike
Saturday on several Hesbola launchers in central and southern Lebanon.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Most major retailers will be closed for Thanksgiving Day this year.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
The stores closed for the holiday include most, but not all,
Ace hardware stores. Aldi will close its stores for Thanksgiving,
along with Best Buy, but the tech retailers blackfrind. The
hours can be found online. Costco's warehouse stores will be
closed for the holiday, and its Black Friday hours are
available online. Dick Sporting Goods will be closed on Turkey Day,
(15:10):
but will open at six am or Black Friday shoppers.
Other stores opening bright and early on Friday include JC
Penny and Kohle's, which both will open at five am.
Happy Shopping, I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And with the return of holiday shopping season, so the
return of scammers.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Roory O'Neil reports.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Swindlers are getting more sophisticated conning. Even savvy online shoppers
beware lookalike digital storefronts, often using URLs that look similar
to the real thing. AI is being used to manufacture
celebrity endorsements to misdirect consumers to fraud lip websites. Online

Red's keeping an eye on the content if you're just
waking up. Efforts to continue to end the Russian Ukraine
War now, with Secretary of State Marco Ruby Rubio saying
after meetings this weekend, substantial progress has been made. Israeli
warplanes targeted senior Hesbalah leaders over weekend air strikes in Lebanon.
(16:57):
More than three hundred students were abducted by a gun
at a private Catholic school in Nigeria and New York
City marilect Zoran Mamdani is standing by his claim the
president is a fascist, a despot, but he does so
with the blessings of the President and wicked for good,
wickedly successful one hundred and fifty million domestically two hundred
(17:18):
and twenty six million dollars worldwide over the weekend. My
daughter's and wife drug me i was told by my mother,
if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all.
So I'll simply say the songs were worse, the movie
was worse. I didn't cry. I thought it was lousy.
Rams improved in nine and two? Are the Los Angeles
Rams the best in the NFL? In other words, who
(17:41):
do you think would between the win with between the
Rams and the Patriots?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I mean, I think the Rams are the best in
the NFC that nobody ever talks about, never sees coming.
That's how they usually win Super Bowls. They might be
the best in the NFL. Boy, were they better than
the Bucks? Thirty four to seven last night on Sunday
Night football? And tonight we have Carolina and San at
Francisco on Monday Night? Aoin for Carolina, and I think
they h.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Atlanta won, so they can't. They can't be sole first
place in the West. I don't think I'd have to
look in the South. I'd have to look at that one.
I'm making things up now, Shame on me, all right, everybody,
All that aside, everybody's waking up this morning with one
thing on their mind. What the heck happened in the
(18:27):
Oval Office on Friday, and I've given you my take.
Don't forget Donald Trump is the great disruptor. Everybody was
expecting a war, a war of intimidation and words from
the Oval Office, and they got a love fest. Very disruptive.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Two.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Donald Trump always believes in keeping friends close and enemies
even closer. We see that with Kim Jong Un, we
see that with Putin. I guess that puts Mom Donnie
in that class. Yeah, he likes attention. Yeah, he's got
an ego. He's always in it for a deal. And
I guess principles can be fluid or could it be
(19:07):
as simple as you remove the controversy, you drain the
fuel from this socialism momentum and runaway train?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Or was it a big mistake? Is this the beginning
of the end of maga?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I mean, how do we arrive where Marjorie Taylor Green
is bad and a trader and Mom Donnie suddenly he's great.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
He's gonna do great things in New York. Listen, we
need people smarter than us.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
White House correspondent John Decker is here to unravel these
surprising developments that has everybody politically a buzz.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
That was my take. What's yours.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
Well, I think that what a lot of what you
say is right on point.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You know that idea of.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Keeping your enemies close to you is something that Trump
is always abided by. And as it relates to Marjorie
Taylor Green, you know what that demonstrates and margin try.
Taylor Green said this in her social media video that
loyalty is not a two way street with Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
He's proved that time and time again.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
You could not find anyone more loyal to Donald Trump
in MAGA than Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
She went to the mat for that guy.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
They disagreed on a few issues, but overall, you couldn't
find anyone more MAGA than Marjorie Taylor Green. So that
was a huge surprise when Marjorie Taylor Green made this
announcement on Friday night.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, I want to point something out too.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I can't remember what it is for senators, maybe five
years as well, but I want to say it was
eight for senators, but it's five for members of the
House of Representatives. I had one emailer and I know
he writes I never thought Marjorie Taylor Green was anything
but a grifter with her resigning, I've been proven right,
she resigns two days after she's fully vested in her
(20:50):
congressional pension.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And then read and.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I went back into the math, and it will literally
be two days after she's vested for her pension.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
But no, I would bring up Vice President Cident Pence.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right, there's somebody that was very faithful to the president
and he turned on him. But there's gonna be a
lot of people on the right going, wait a minute.
Marjorie Taylor Green, who was the MAGA house member, she's
a trader and mom Donnie, and socialism is suddenly good
for New York. I mean, if you put that, and
it's wonderful to have that as an excuse every time
you do something dumb, I can just say I'm playing chess.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
This is going to be a tough sell for the right.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
No, I think it is a tough sell.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I mean, think about what President Trump said about the
newly elected mayor of New York City as he was
running for mayor. He called him the communist mayor of
New York City. And the President really didn't walk that back.
And the President wants New York to do well. That's
where he and Mondamie actually are on the same page.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
It's just how do you get there?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
And clearly I think they're going to butt heads quite
a bit when it comes down to policy. Certainly, Mondamie
is not going to cooperate with President Trump and the
Trump administration as it relates immigration policy, as it relates
to cutting down on illegal immigration. And that's going to
be something which will I think, end this love fest
(22:09):
as you call it, Michael, between President Trump and the
person who will become Mayor of.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
New York City on January the first.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, and let me go back to I say, maybe
it's as simple as meaning, this is what I really
think the President was trying to achieve, and he may
have already achieved it, because Mom Donnie goes on all
the Sunday morning shows doubling down like a tough guy
that the president's a fascist, he's a despot. Well, he's
got the President's blessing to say that. And if you
(22:37):
think it's a war between the President and Mom Donnie,
you're gonna have a urt time making the case after
the way they behaved in the Oval office. So if
Mom Donnie fails, which, if you trust, socialism always fails,
he will. You can't blame it on Trump and you
take away the boogeyman image of the president after that meeting.
(22:58):
So I think it's as simple as you remove the controversy,
you drain the fuel from the momentum.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Well, what President Trump has proven time and time again
is he can let the bad words rub, you know,
off him. He doesn't really care about that. He made
that pretty clear in the Oval Office on Friday, is
what do you do?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
What are your actions? How do you act?
Speaker 9 (23:21):
And I think that's where the rubber hits the road
for President Trump. So you know, that's the reason why
one of his closest aids in his cabinet is Mark Rubio.
I think about the things that Mark Rubio said about
Donald Trump way back in twenty sixteen when they were
running for president. But it's how you act, And you know,
I think that man Damie. You know, we'll see how
(23:41):
he acts once he's torn in as New York City's
next mayor. I don't think it will please President Trump
with the actions that he takes as New York City's mayor,
But we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That is something that I think is an unknown.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
How will Mom Dami actually govern once he's sworn in.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Jadie Van said some choice words about the president. He's
the vice president right now. You can learn more, get
more insights from the White House with John Decker. He
has a podcast every morning, the White House Briefing Room
with John Decker. You can search it on your iHeart app.
When you find it, give it a preset that way,
it's always a button away. That'll be up by nine
Eastern eighth Center and we'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Michael, thank you, it's already up there. Have a good one,
Have a good.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
One, lessons, talk to you tomorrow. Davidson not He's the
CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He's the host of
the Public Square. He will be the co host of
Christmas in America, which will be performed live for broadcast
Sunday here in the Nashville area. He's also a very
close friend. You texted me immediately after the news conference.
(24:44):
I would tell you that my take this morning is
the same as my immediate take, but I knew what
your immedia take was. I don't know what to make
of this. What is your take now three days later
or two days later?
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Good morning, Mike, go, Good morning guys. Well it's Thanksgiving weekend.
Thank you for the opportunity to chat with you, and
for everybody who wonders, Michael, if we weren't on the radio,
I think we still be chatting most mornings of the week,
and I'm very thankful for our friendship and for your
(25:15):
work of service.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I want you to know that very much.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
I say that from a position of a volunteer on
the broadcast, not as a paid person working for iHeart
a premiere or for your morning show. I'm just very
grateful for what you're trying to do in the midst
of a darkening culture, which is to turn on more light,
because that.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Really is the fun one. I want to get to
that on Thanksgiving. But real quickly. Your take on what
you thought happened in the Oval Office.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
My take on the Oval Office, it beats the heck
out of me. I don't know, I have, I don't
never really gotten Donald Trump. I'm able to observe and
make analysis based upon the consequences of Trump's behaviors, action strategies, associates,
et cetera. As far as what goes on inside his
(26:02):
heart and mind, I simply I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, let's take him one at a time. Is this
another moment of great disruption?
Speaker 12 (26:09):
I'm sorry, Michael, this is going to be like I
plead the fifth I sincerely don't know the answer.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, everybody was expecting a fight and they didn't get
They didn't get a fight.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Well, did he learn something from the Zelenski blow up
that happened that those kinds of situations are good make
I don't know. Did he have a conversion moment where
the scripture talks about love your enemies and do good
to those who despitefully use you.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
That was that a moment of grace.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I'm not gonna know. I'm not going to go that far.
I think I do know what.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't know what about keep your friends close, but
keep your enemies even closer, because that was my first
instinct and discernment.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Oh, he thinks of him like a Putin and of
Kim Jong Unn.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
Well, the elite in America, and I'm sorry, the political
media elite in America, Republican and Democrats, but particularly Republicans,
have a very strange concept of loyalty Tea and.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Donald.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
I don't know. I do not understand why. I have
never thought a whole lot of Marjorie Tailor Green. She's
not my representative, so it's not my business. I'm just
an observer. But at that stage in the game, I
don't understand. On one day you throw one person not
out of the bus, and then back it up over
and and and then the next day you embrace a
(27:24):
guy who's calling you the most ferocious name.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I know you're you're not getting it is helping a
lot of people get it. I never liked Marjorie Taylor
Green at all, but I saw the way he treated her,
the way he treated Vice President Pence, and that's troubling.
I find it troubling that every time the president does
something that we should call into question, where to assume
(27:48):
it's just good chess when we're all dumb and thinking checkers.
I never let principals take a back seat to strategy.
Principles are more important than me. I would have fought
on the principles. I would have done it with a
loving heart. I wouldn't have done it with personal attacks.
Could it be he's trying to take all the controversy
(28:10):
and the fuel out of this socialist momentum.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
Yeah, oh, I'm sure in his mind he has a
strategy and about the only way to talk about this
is the what if game, which is very frustrating sometimes.
But what could have happened if we were trying to
get to a clear path of integrity on this or
some logic would have been for them to have met
totally in private and kept it proNT to everyone had
left in private, and then Mondommie had a chance to
(28:36):
say what he wants to stay back in New York
and Trump hass a chance to say what he wants
to say in Washington, and it would have been more
credible at this stage in the game. I questioned the
credibility of both the people in the process. I don't
get it.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Who should be more mad?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Maga American Conservative Republicans or the left?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
What a great question? Who should be more mad?
Speaker 6 (28:58):
That is a perfect question, it really is.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
That's the game they're playing, making us play.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
And a brilliantly structured one. On Thanksgiving, here's an idea.
Speaker 12 (29:07):
Let's see what should we argue about more on Thursday,
mon Damie and Trump.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Or don't put poo on my Thanksgiving brein, because what
we talk about about Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Here in a minute is way more important than this nonsense.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I hear you, I hear you. No, that's the right question.
Who should would be more?
Speaker 12 (29:22):
You know, all arguments, a good friend of mine used
to say, are the result of differing expectations. All arguments
are the results of differing expectations. That is the crisis
of MAGA right now. Does anyone even remotely remember how
the expectations got set?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
No? Tell us, Well, then I'll explain why I'm smiling.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
Yeah, they they got set off the top of the
board in endless political realities and nothing but extremeness at
the whole point in time.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
There it was.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
By the way, I'm frightened how much this smile looks
like my brother Bobby. Why am I smiling? Because while
this nonsense is all going on in the Oval office,
Marco Rubio is finalizing and making substantial progress in a
Russian Ukraine piece process. If MAGA is to stumble, if
(30:17):
MAGA is to crumble, guess who's waiting in the wings
to be the victor? Marco Rubio. Guess who I've supported
for twelve years Marco Rubio. Of course I'm smiling. I
think he's the big winner.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
No, I can attest to that too. I remember when
you were it was Rubio first. Rubio was your first choice.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Effect.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Do you remember my famous line about Ted Cruz.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
You loved it. It used to be one of your favorites.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
The idea of Ted Kruz Cruise is so much better
than the actual.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Than the actual.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yeah, yeah, Mine was how far can you get with
a billionaire in your pocket? And that was that whole reason, which,
by the way, is why Donald Trump became President of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I remember I said, look out for Rubio, he's the
next Jack Kennedy. And you said that he's going to
lose to Truman. I said, who's Truman? You said, and
you were right, that was Wrotten. Well, you were just
right early. I'll be right later. All right, David's going
to come back. We want to talk real quickly and
succinctly about this unless we're gonna end up in overtime.
But we actually got no overtime to go to, so
we'll get it. We'll get it done in a culture
(31:16):
of envy and equality. Soak that in because that is
our culture right now. We are not a nation under God,
indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We are the
divided States of America, and some kind of hybrid socialism
based on a spirit of envy and a goal of equality,
has nothing to do with the Constitution. Does Thanksgiving still
(31:37):
have a place? When your Morning show continues to ask.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Joino, there.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Is no way that we can do this in three minutes.
You may think we can do this in three minutes,
but I don't think we can do it in three minutes.
Closing moments with David's Andai, we may have to revisit
this tomorrow. In a culture of envy and equality, and
that's what we're living in. Does Thanksgivings still have a place?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (32:02):
The answer is simple. With one question, who's my source?
Boom powerful? Maybe you can do it in three minutes,
because if we don't have a thankful heart, who are
we really living for? And who are we really Depending
on who are we set our expectations upon, all arguments
are the result of differing expectations.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
If the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not I
shall not be in want.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
It's not a one day a year holiday.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
If that's what it is, I suspect it's going to
be about turkey and football. But if every morning before
your feet hit the ground. You go through everything with
your father that you're thankful for. That's a different trajectory,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Michael. I can tell you a quick story.
Speaker 12 (32:49):
I had a friend passed away with my first my
first pastor, and he had a lot of problems in
his life. His marriage wasn't the greatest in the world.
He had two kids with assistic fibrosis. He was a
pastor of a small cher Way way way, underemployed. Both
his children died before they were thirty, and he had
a life that he could be miserable with all the time.
But every time he felt led to self pity, he
(33:11):
would go out on call and call on people who
were sicker than his kids were, who were poorer than
he was, who had worse problems, solve him.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
And go and pray for them. A thankful heart leads
to faith. An ungrateful heart leads to lack of faith
and bitterness. You're not even doing yourself any favors again,
that we have we might have life and life abundantly.
You play by his rules and lived by his rules,
you will have an abundant life and an abundant eternity.
You don't you do so at your own peril. There's
no one between. You can't get away with not being
(33:42):
purposeful and thanksgiving. And to my brother's credit, I do
it every morning before my feet hit the ground, and
it's important to do.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
We get to talk tomorrow, right, Yeah, well you want
to do more on that? Or are you going to
rebut that?
Speaker 9 (33:57):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (33:57):
What are you going?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Not at all?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I'll be thankful then to give you give your answer
real quick. In a culture of envy inequality, does thanksgivings
still have a.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Place if we know who our sources? Yes?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Amen, now and forever. David's pick up on that. And
then I shared a song with David over the weekend
by AI in worship of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 12 (34:24):
And yes, you can read my text that's bound.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
To come and I might even play some Dana Carb
before you. All right, we'll do that tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
