Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on great radio stations across the country like 105-9-1250, WHNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio 570, WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio 1,000, KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to us live in the morning, and of course, we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy. One, two, three. Starting your morning off right. Play right. A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Right. Because we're in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Jim Jordan. Merry Christmas. How, how, how. Merry Christmas. Chris Crock in for Michael Del Charno. Spread a little while since I filled in. But it's always an absolute blast, thrill and pleasure feeling it's my very long time friend, Michael Beljournal. We've been super tight. He's been a very dear friend of mine for probably 25 years now. And did I ever tell you the story about that? I'll make it quick, but producer Jeff, never told you about that by Michael's story? No. Everybody has a Michael story. Is this how you guys been that? Yeah. Okay. I love telling this to people, no matter if it's the woman in charge of the great network that we're on right now, whether it is the man that manages him, you know, as another person in the network. They all have a Michael's story. We all do. And they're always, they're so good. Like, it's like, you got to hear it. And they're all like, yeah, you do have to hear it because you know Michael and he's just a one of kind. So anyway, I wanted to get a job in Milwaukee. I was in Madison, Wisconsin. The company guy that was in charge of Milwaukee liked me, but they didn't have anything. So he wanted to get me in in their Tulsa station. Michael was in Tulsa for years. And so they had me flying for opportunity that was open in Tulsa. And Michael would have been my boss. And he was too good to be true. He freaked me out. This guy is either super genuine and real and incredible or he's insane. I didn't know which one because it's just he's so real. And I did my fill-ins. They checked me out and he loved it and he was excited and he wanted to hire me. He would have been my boss and he was the morning host there. But the GM. was a nightmare because he promised me X amount of dollars. And then when I went back and he offered me the job, it went from X amount, five grand less, 10 grand, less, 15 grand less, 20 grand less. And I didn't even want to go to Tulsa because Madison, Wisconsin is close to the size of Tulsa. I'm like, why would I move across the country to a similar size market? Yeah. Why? For what? Well, if they're going to offer me 30 grand more than I'm making, I was like, okay, I'll lease consider it. So then he knocked it all the way down. You know, much to Michael's chagrin, he didn't know about this. It was the general manager that was over, you know, over him. And I said, you offered me this. You were saying this. And he goes, well, you're not Rick D's. And I'm like, what? First of all, I don't play music. Second of all, I never said anything about that. You're the one, you know, I mean, it was unreal. So I said, you know what? I'm going to pass on the job. Bye. And then Michael found out.

5:59

I called and told me, he goes, what, what? He goes, that's it, that's it, I'm leaving here. And I was like, there's no way he's leaving this job because of me and what happened. There's just no way. Sure enough, shortly thereafter, he got a job in Nashville. And then also along the way of my career, some folks wanted to hire him here or there, some really major places. And Michael's like, well, I can't get out of my contract, but Chris, you should call Chris. And so Michael's the reason why I was at the biggest station, one of the biggest stations in the country in Atlanta, because he connected. He said, you got to call Chris. I'm jogging with my young one. He's like two or three at the time. And I get a call from a big dude in Atlanta. And he's like, yeah, Michael does you know, I'm like, whoa. That's my lengthy, you know, 20 year plus probably 20 years of friendship with him. He's that he is that guy that is that good. It seems too good to be true, but it's true. He is that awesome. That's my story I'm sticking to it. Once he is in your corner, he is in your corner forever. Yes. That's actually really, really true. You know what? I am not nearly at the level he is in that regard and it inspires me to be that way. You know? Yeah. Absolutely. I always got to have somebody that you want to look up to and emulate. Oh, yeah. But be, but emulate. Yeah, no, he is a jolt. He's a jolt and a wonderful jolt. We talk every couple of months. And it's always a refreshing jolt. A dose of Michael is very important as a friend. So I wanted to hit this with all the sanctuary cities and all the being angry at ice and everything. This is so important. So this week, along with filling from Michael today, for example, I'm on San Antonio. And the sheriff there is a George Soros-backed sheriff. He is very much against illegal immigration enforcement. He loves illegals, if you will. And he's the guy. Do you remember when Ron DeSantis flew a plane load of illegals up to Martha's Vineyard? Do you remember that? I don't remember that, producer Jeff, and that's when the wealthy leftist on Martha's Vineyard called the military in, and the military came in with deuce, deuce and a half trucks and their M16s and ushered the illegals off the island because, you know, the rich white liberals cannot stand. The only place they want to see these poor brown people is either mowing the lawn or off their island, you know, ultimate hypocrites. And they'll have their little signs up in the front yard. Hate has no home here. Yes, it does. Actually, hate isn't, hate isn't everybody's heart. So when somebody has a sign out there, you know, they're a grand hypocrite. They probably have more hate in that home than you or I would. You have to have a sign saying something that means you got a problem. Anyway, so. He's the sheriff that did that. He's the sheriff that said he was going to criminally prosecute or bring, you know, he was investigating around the Sanis and was going to press charges against. Remember that? So that's who this guy is.

9:04

He does not do 287G. That's the program where you can have ICE come to your jail and put in a computer system and train you and your deputies so that every time a criminal is arrested or somebody's arrested, even if they haven't been convicted. When they're brought into the jail, they are put through that system in a few minutes or whatever, and they find out right away if they're illegal. So what that means is they don't leave that jail free. If they leave the jail because they didn't get convicted, if they leave the jail because they served their time, they don't get released. They are handed over inside of the jail where it's safe. There's no weapons on them. They don't have to chase around and have a dangerous encounter with them, you know, the ICE folks. They hand them over in the jail in custody to ICE. It's perfect. Okay? This sheriff was against that. Well, guess what just happened this week when I was filling in? And this is going to happen. This could happen anywhere that's a sanctuary place that won't do this. A man showed up at his estranged ex-lover, ex-wife, or something's house. He's illegal. And he had a rifle and a handgun. He barged into the house. He's not supposed to be there. I think she got to order or protection or some kind of thing. There's been a long history of domestic violence. And then she calls the cops and she flees with the kids. The sheriff's deputies come out of the sheriff that, you know, try to prosecute Ron DeSantis. Two sheriff's deputies show up. As soon as they get into the house, that illegal with a rifle and a handgun, a 40 caliber handgun, shoots those two cops. One bullet goes through the cop's hand. The same bullet goes through the hand. It hits the other officer in the hip. Two cops hit with a bullet. They return fire. It's a three second battle, and they shoot and kill that illegal. Then comes out the sheriff and says, again, the sheriff is pro-illegal. He does do 2A7G. He's a soros-backed sheriff in San Antonio and Bear County. It's called. He comes out and crows about his guys and how awesome they are and he's proud of them. They did everything by the book and they were brave and this and that. And then he says, this man, this criminal is. He shouldn't have been in this country. He has no business being in this country. He said as an extremely violent individual with a long rap sheet. And I'm going to share it with you in a second. But guess what? The man he said shouldn't have been in this country, the sheriff. The man who he said had a long rap sheet was dangerous. was in his jail twice in the past year. And guess what he didn't do while this guy was in the jail? He didn't do 287G. He didn't hand him over ice because he's a George Soros back sheriff. And so I said, I went nuts on this yesterday. I go nuts on every show on this week because it doesn't matter where you're at in this country. If your sheriff refuses to do 287G or your city or your state. Those two deputies, instead of getting a bullet through his hand and on the hip, they could be dead today. And it would be because of that sheriff who refused to hand over this guy who he says is a dangerous, lengthy rap sheet criminal who has no business being in this country. If he has no business in this country, why didn't you deport him by handing him over to ICE while he was in your jail? Can you imagine that those two deputies were dead today? Which very was close to happen, right? They were shot.

12:19

Can you imagine blood would be on the hands of that sheriff because he didn't work with ice. You see that? That's what I'm talking about. He literally could have been indirectly, almost directly responsible for the death of two of his deputies that he called a hero. Now here's the rap sheet of this guy who he refused to work with ICE on to get rid of out of his county, leading to him, his deputies getting shot and almost killed. Here we go. The rap sheet is long. And by the way, this is not exclusive to San Antonio. That's what I'm telling you is this could be any place, anywhere in this country with the extent of the illegal immigration problem. The rap sheet, here we go. I had my sheet and now it's gone. I'll say you this. Here it is. Got it right here. 38-year-old Jose Arlen Fernando Solano, a Costa Rican illegal with an extensive criminal history. The sheriff, the Soros sheriff, says Hernandez Salano has been deported at least once and when he came back in and re-entry is a felony. Okay, so he's already a felon. He had multiple prior arrests for domestic violence-related offenses. including assault causing bodily injury to a family member, beating family members and injury to a child. So beating family members and children. Investigators said there have been at least 22 calls for service tied to the same residence since early 2024, and the suspect had two active felony warrants. It had two active felony warrants connected to a domestic violence case from October. This guy was in that sheriff's jail twice in the past year. He could have been taken out of this country with 287G, but instead he was left to have an opportunity to murder the deputies that he shot. You see that? That's why Trump is right. That's why people like myself that are pro, are anti-illegal immigrant. want and demand this program to be in every, every, uh, uh, jail. And I'll tell you something else that's really important. And I would have you lobby your state, your city for this, your county for this, whatever town or state you're in. And that is this. The state of Texas just passed a law that starts in a week on the first. The law says if you are any county in Texas, there's a lot of counties in Texas, as you would imagine, any county in Texas that has 100,000 people or more. must do 287G. You have no choice. If you're a county with a population of 100,000 or more, you must. Meeting every metropolitan county in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Dallas, Fort Worth, even Tyler Longview, Texas, Waco. Those are communities with 100,000 or more. And they have to do 287G. If they don't, they're breaking the law in the state of Texas. Every state should do that.

15:12

And then the leftist sheriff can say, oh, you know, I can't stand either, but I have to, otherwise it's against the law. You know what I'm saying? That's what you should have done. And that's how you could prevent a cop killer from killing our cops. That's just one little case. But that is so important to me, the guy that preens about his deputies and say their heroes literally was almost responsible for their deaths. It's so angry to me. And you can tell them passionate about it. If you want to chime in on that. I'll hit that talk back microphone button, the microphone button, I should say on your talkback button, on your I heart app. So that's one thing I wanted to tell you too. Coming up next, we have a little bit more on the Christmas traveling stories. Oh, a special little thing about Christmas trees, the live ones, because it is after all Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas. For all of us at Your Morning Show. And my friend Michael Dojono, who is spending some wonderful time making memories with his family. Very important that you and I do that. This is your morning show with Michael Daljono, Chris Crock. This is your morning show with Michael Del Chon. Merry Christmas, or is my Polish grandma in Chicago, who, of course, late Polish grandma in Chicago, used to say, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Christi for Merry Christmas. Crazy cry. I still do that. I'm my uncle. Come crazy grandmummy. Yes, give me a juba. That's a Polish for kiss. Juba. A juba. Anyway, yes. Tak, as I would say in Polish. This is your morning show I can't say that in Polish. Chris Rockin for Michael Del Jarno, who clearly with that handsome, striking last name, Del Jerno, is clearly not a pole like I am. I love one of the, uh, uh, the voice guy when he says, pizza boy, he's your pizza boy. Pizza boy. He says something like, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, pizza boy. Oh, gosh. My favorite is when the listeners chime in and they say, stop whining pizza boy. Yeah. That's great. That is absolutely top shelf right there. Great A. Y'all, Merry Christmas. This from a columnist in the Wall Street Journal. It's very short, but it's the Christmas tree hunt, the great Christmas tree hunt. And she lives in Oregon. by the Portland area, wrote this comment in the journal yesterday. One of our most recent expeditions, she talks about the great Christmas tree hunting, going out and getting a Christmas tree and cutting it down. One of our most recent expeditions was in 2021, she writes, we applied on a government website for a $5 permit to cut down a Christmas tree in the Willamette National Forest, which stretches along the western slopes of Oregon's Cascade Ranch. I'm going to tell you something. I saw some of those pictures.

18:23

because this was in a local story there when I was talking about when I was doing a filling for Portland the other day. It's just gorgeous. I mean, it's unbelievable. You could imagine, right? I have never been in the Northwest as a tourist. I've never been in California as a tourist. I've been Phoenix, Vegas, New York City, you know, D.C., Florida, New Mexico. I love, you know, being in Texas, I love being able to go to Colorado. New Mexico is gorgeous over there. But anyway, so they hunted down and found a tree in the middle of the woods and cut it down there on the slopes of that beautiful mountain. When we were in Wisconsin, Madison, my wife and I, before we had our first boy child, the first boy child, we went and cut down a tree with some of our good friends. And it's just so much fun doing that. But it's a pain in the butt. And at one point, we're like, we're done with this, the fire hazard, the needles everywhere. It's so awesome doing it, by the way. I'll probably do it again. I want to. But, man, it's a lot of work, huh? Now we have two fake trees. And they look nice sitting in the house. Hi, my name is Fern Aaron. And my morning show is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.

I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in one of the world's most notorious prisons. Imagine that. You're Paul McCartney. It's 1980. You're an ex-Beedle. And you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters and for a ridiculous charge. Or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of. Who is the artist Lady Gaga as being accused of doing the unthinkable to after allegedly stealing her music in style to become famous? And what about that time, Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped a serial killer? The man who had given her that ride she barely escaped from was Ted Bundy. Listen to Discraseland on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Maybe I have adult ADHD. I need to look this up. Where's my phone? Juliana, your phone is hot to the touch. I think it's asking you for a break. You know what? Maybe I should just ask chat GPT. Or maybe we can ask an actual human. Yes, like a couple sex therapist. Whoa, that escalated quickly, but... Okay. Because I have questions. We have questions. And I bet everyone has questions. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that. How about this one? Is bribing your kids bad parenting or just negotiating? Oh, and I still do need to know why was my poop green that one time? Hypothetically, right? Okay, well, instead of letting the internet guess, we've got actual people answering these exact questions. And laughing with us has got to be better than spending three hours down a rabbit hole online. Listen to Bill and Juliana. The podcast. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show airs live, 5 to 8 a.m. Central, 6 to 9 Eastern, and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a part of your morning routine. But we're happy you're here now. Enjoy the podcast. This is your morning show, Chris Crockin, for Michael Deljournal. I wish you a merry Christmas. A very, very many creismus. Furious couple flying home for the holidays, denied boarding because of a little known airline rule about babies and dogs. Husband and wife have their baby, and they bring two dogs on a plane. Earlier we talked about the crazy cat lady from Portland, Oregon, freaking out and going all Karen. Now you have a man and his wife. What are you doing? you're traveling with it's a husband and wife and you have an infant and you bring two dogs with you are you nuts and they were mad because they were denied it because the airline policy is if you have an infant you cannot fly with a dog and an infant so um basically if his wife if they had one dog the wife or husband could be the dog and the other adult could handle the child you know what I'm saying but not two dogs

25:10

Or if you have, if they didn't bring the baby, each one of them could have a dog. So I mean, it's like, how could you possibly think you could go on an airline with two dogs and a baby and get away with it? How rude and then consider it too. You can have a dog running around there while you're taking care of your baby? No. This is not a dog sitting tube that we're up in the middle of the air, you know, doing. TSA, stark reminder about traveling with Christmas gifts warns popular item, not allowed. They're saying, I mean, this is common sense. What, how could you think? And I guess you would say I wasn't thinking. How could you think that you could have a wrapped gift to put it with your luggage and not get it opened up? The terrorists wanted to do damage on a plane to us could easily just wrap up their little explosive. Don't touch, please. It's a gift. No, thank you. Snow globes, you can't bring them on the plane. You have to put it in, check it in with checked in baggage. Also, here's something to really be alert about. Three men arrested for alleged gift card fraud estimated at $14 million. You've heard about this where people somehow get information on that card. You load it up and it gets stolen. Here's how it works. This is a scheme. This is based in Texas. Three men. They were literally buying, and they weren't buying. They were literally stealing gift cards. The scheme involved stealing unactivated gift cards from store kiosks, copying the electronic card numbers, resealing the packaging and returning the cards to the store displays. Once a customer purchased and loaded money onto the card, investigators say the suspects would quickly drain the balance. There you have it. You know how you can go online and type of the numbers and it tells you how much is on the card and what the numbers and everything? They just take that and buy stuff online. So Texas passed the new law where this was happening. They passed the new law. that cracks down on gift card tampering, making it a felony. So these three men were charged with fraudulent possession of gift cards, a first degree felony. They're being held in Dallas County Jail. They admitted to targeting 10 stores a day. seven days a week since May of 2025 with an alleged activity linked to cases across North Texas, Central Texas, and the Gulf Coast. So these guys were ripping up 10 stores a day going all over the state of Texas, and they got 14 million bucks doing that, ripping people off. So again, all you got to do when you buy a gift card for your loved one today, maybe on your way to a Christmas party or something or tomorrow, if some place is open for you.

27:56

Just look at the card and particularly the packaging to see if it's been opened or resealed. That's all you've got to do. If it hasn't, you should be good. But that's crazy. Absolutely crazy. I don't know if you caught this. Producer Jeff, have you seen this? This former Nickelodeon child star who is now homeless looking absolutely horrible on the streets. I saw that. Yeah, Riverside, California. I didn't know who this guy was as a teen actor, but he was 15. He was in three seasons or four seasons. His name is Tyler Chase, and he was... on that show and it's just horrifying and sad to see him his face is all mangled his expressions his mannerisms he looks horrible that's what living on the streets and doing a lot of drugs will do to his mom so so so you have these people that recognize one lady and she put it out on on social media and you know said this poor guy you know let's help him or something she started to go fund me Look, it's like Rob Reiner, the situation with him and his family. It's a very sad situation, horrifying. But he said about his son, he said, I wish, uh, I wish I would have not listened to all the, I shouldn't have listened to all these people with degrees, degrees on their walls for my son. Instead, I should have listened to my son. And that's just patently false. And same thing with this Nickelode, former Nickelodeon star. His mom says, don't listen to him. Don't give him money. She says all he does is dude does drugs. He lives on the street. I give him a cell phone. He loses it every day or two. I've given him countless cell phones. He refuses to get help. Don't give him money. People tend to have this, it's a self-centered, it's a selfish way of looking at things. Oh, I'm going to give him money. Look at how great I am. I feel great. You know, you break your arm, patting yourself on the bat because you gave some guy five, ten, twenty bucks when he took it and went and smoked it, you're literally hurting him. You're helping them stay on the streets and do drugs or refusing to take their meds. But most of the people that are on the streets are alcohol or drug addicts and they don't want to get better. They want to stay high. And a lot of us, people are projecting their own selves onto these people on the streets. I'm not saying disrespect them or don't love them or pray for them. I'm not saying that at all. Don't hear what I'm not saying. But people tend to project themselves on these folks. They see and they go, oh, that poor man. Oh, he's such a victim.

30:26

No, what you don't realize is a lot of these folks have a much lower, lower, lower standard of living because if they can keep getting high, they're happy living at that lower standard because they can keep getting high. And so when Rob Reiner talked about his son, and I'm not attacking him and his wife who are not deceased, it's very sad, but I'm telling the truth. When Rob Reiner said, I should have listened to my son, you weren't listening to your son if you were listening to him. You would be listening to methamphetamines and heroin. You'd be having a conversation with heroin and methamphetamine, which are currently running this man's body. That's how it is. My mom helped with one and ran another one with alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs with teens and with adults. And she said to me, she taught me a lot. She told me, Chris, you know, that movie Less Than Zero with Robert Downey Jr. was that in the late 80s or 90s. She goes, that is a very true thing. A lot of people have to hit rock bottom before they'll decide to change. They almost die from a drug overdose. They live on the streets for a song. One day they say, what am I doing to myself? You know what I mean? Or they're in jail for a long time. And they say, what am I doing? This is not me. I don't want to do this anymore. But if you are robbing them of the opportunity to hit rock bottom and make a change, you're keeping them high, you are hurting them. And so that's why the Nickelodeon star's mom who lives in Riverside says, don't give him a dime. She literally told him, take down the fundraiser for this guy. There's people all wanting to pat themselves in the back and feel so great. I'm helping him. No, you're not. That's a selfish way of looking at things, by the way. thinking that you're going to fix this guy, thinking that you have the magic ingredients, as if you made some new thing up that, oh, look at me, I came up with a novel idea, I'm going to give money to somebody who's doing drugs living on the streets. No. And again, I'm not dehumanizing them. I'm just saying this is the reality of it. So one of his former co-actors on that show on Nickelodeon, showed up, tracked him down and paid for a hotel room and gave him a hug and said, we're going to get you in rehab and stuff. I hope it works, but I'm very, very skeptical. Very, very skeptical. And, you know, he put him up at a hotel room and he had it all on social media and I'm not ripping him for it. By the way, people were ripping folks the ones that put. him on social media member with the original post that got viral how dare you exploit him and put him on social media you know record him in public people should not be able to do that another guy said on these comments with the daily mail that's totally false the people that were recording him and putting him on social media weren't ridiculing him they weren't picking him they weren't treating him like a freak show that or treating him gently and nicely so the spirit of it was not bad their hearts were the right place i have no problem with doing that And it's important, I think it's really important for us people to see that, to see what we could become if we should slip into addiction. I think it's a very valuable thing for us to see. And as long as he's not being ridiculed, there's no problem. Somebody was saying, you know, it should be illegal. That is somebody who doesn't understand what our country is and what it does and what our freedoms are. You can't ban somebody for recording. If I'm, if I'm, um,

33:36

On my front lawn, watering my front lawn. And some guys walking down a sidewalk 20 feet from 10 feet from me while I'm in my front yard recording me. I can't force him to stop recording me. He's in a public place. You know, arrest somebody for recording somebody? No, that's like that's Russia or North Korea. We're not that. So that's kind of situation. And if you want to chime in, of course, we have that talkback button on your iHeart app. Click the microphone icon and go to town. We love hearing your talkbacks. And by the way, once again, Merry, Merry Christmas. That's kind of the extent of what I want to share, excuse me, share about this guy. It's just, it's sad. And by the way, I know his former co-star means well by putting him up at the hotel that was the latest social media twist that came out yesterday afternoon. But I sadly think, based on what his mom said, the folks that are reaching out to him trying to help him and stuff, they mean well, but I don't think he's going to change. And I think he's going to use that hotel room to do drugs in, sleep in, and eventually get kicked out of that. I hope he doesn't, but this is a long time pattern. It's not going to fix it. And I'm not just, I'm skeptic. I really think that there's like a 99% chance. This is not going to do anything in six months. It'll be the same thing. And then people move on because the. And I don't mean this pejoratively, but the quote-unquote freak show of seeing this guy who looks so mangled and horrible, right, from when he was a star on TV. After people go through that, the cycle of it, they move on. And I'm sad to say that, and I hope this doesn't happen. I hope he does get sober. But I'm sad to say that unfortunately, I think people move on in 5, 10, 15 years. If he continues this, he's going to end up dead. And then you'll see a story in the news about it. Remember that happened five years ago? He was found dead. And that's the sad reality of addiction for some people, you know? So that's a very important thing. And I was with Rob Reiner and his son arrested for the murder of Rob and his wife, I saw a man who meant well, Rob Reiner, but he and his wife, but they appeased a beast. They appeased a beast. Let him keep moving in. By the way, one of the stories that came out, most of the stories that come out now by the writers, they're just trying to get clickbait. But this one I did read and share with, I want to share with you from the Daily Mail. Police were repeatedly called the Rob Irons Brentwood Mansion for years before the son, quote, murdered him and his wife. The disturbances, police have been responding to disturbances at the mansion for over a decade. 2013, 2014, 2017, twice in 2019, December 2014, as well with the murders. The call for service were incidents ranging from alleged family violence to welfare and mental health checks. Quite a few called for service to the Reiner House. The source close to LAPD says they were summoned to that home on many occasions, says the source. On May 5th, 2017. The code BFV invest, meaning battery of family violence investigation. Okay. 27 to 2019, a call 911 for mental health related check on a male subject. You can have all the money in the world.

And you can be a parent who is over the top loving and kind and means well with everything. But you, I'm going to say one more thing. You have to hear this. This is tied into what I'm talking about right now. I was filling in for an I-Hard station in Nebraska all last week when this all came out with Rob Reiner and his son and everything. And I was saying the whole less than zero thing. I had a man calling. And the man called in and said, Chris, my son is 45 years old. I don't know where he is. He is homeless. He's an addict. And all I can do is pray for him. He does not know where I live. I read the book Boundaries. It's a very, very, if you have boundaries or you have issues with any of this, read the book Boundaries. He read it and it taught him how to have boundaries. It says, because if I don't have boundaries, he will take me down with him. because he chooses to be an addict on the streets. And that's exactly, sadly what happened with Rob Reiner. They didn't enforce boundaries. And he took them down with them. So know this. There are people everywhere listening right now, all of this country that I want to tell you that you are not alone. I know it's hard, but you're doing the right thing. They have to want the help. You cannot make them. And they're so selfish and naive for all these people who think they can throw money at this guy and help them or put them in an apartment or something. It's not going to work. Same thing with homelessness with drug addicts, with most of them are drug addicts and alcoholics. Oh, we're going to give them free housing. They just aren't housed. You know, the left people would say, no, no, no, no, no, that's not the problem. All right, coming up next, we're going to talk to, I hate to whizzing your Cheerios on Christmas Eve morning, right? Bring the party down. Yeah, I'm a party poo. I whizzed in your Cheerios, didn't I, producer, Jeff. It's your morning show with Michael Deljourno. It's just me, producer, Jeff, and of course, Rory. Our Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent, Rory, Merry Christmas. Glad to join you here in the last few minutes of the show. Epstein Files, sir. Epstein Files. Yeah, they're going to trickle out slowly rather than rip off this band-day, but going to go through the paint of it, hair by hair. Rory, this is crazy. You had CNN going nuts about a letter supposedly from Epstein to disgraced a child molester, Larry Nasser, who was the doctor to young gymnastics ladies. That wasn't even real because all the stuff that's in the Epstein files, a lot of stuff is in evidence was just sent in and it could be false stuff, right? Well, right. And I think you know, you would think that maybe the Justice Department would have labeled it as such. But instead they released it so you assume it's legit or it's a piece of evidence and not discarded evidence. But they ran with it for several hours until the DOJ had to put out a clarifying statement saying that letter in particular was bogus. The date was wrong. The postmark's wrong. The writing's wrong. The spelling's wrong. The language is wrong. So a lot of things didn't jive. And yeah.

40:02

CNN ran with it. But by the way, that was nothing compared to what X was doing with it, too. Yes. And the fake death video or attempt to suicide video, that was all AI and fake. So the point of this is to me is this is what you get when you shove and demand everything to release. We want everything. Stop hiding. Well, here you go. There's everything, right? Well, right, I guess, you know, I see your point, but I guess the question is, you know, would you have said, well, we found this piece of evidence to be not trustworthy and this was a dismissed video and that sort of a thing. Instead, they're just putting it all out there. So that's going to cut both ways badly and then just erode trust in whatever is released. I think we have about 30 seconds. I think, though, that when you have a massive amount of things and you have to get it in by the other day and it's late, I mean, how can they go through it? It probably would take two or three months, I'm guessing. Amazing, though, how they're able to redact the names of the 10 men who may have been co-conspirators, but they don't have time to do that way. We'll see how this plays out. Rory O'Neill, National Correspondent. Merry Christmas to you, and thank you for joining us today on your morning show. Thanks, Chris. Merry Christmas. You too, man. Thank you so much. Remember, Rory, it's your morning show just as much as it's mine and all of our listeners right now. Merry Christmas. I will see you next week in for Michael again. Chris Crock from Dallas saying, Merry Christmas. God bless you and your family. We're all in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Jorno.
