A new way of understanding. Because we're in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Turner. Thank you, Mike McGahn. Sure. My take on things are certainly insightful. Eye-popping, I might add. Unique, fresh, complete analysis. But all that really matters is what you think. Can't have your morning show without your voice. To Debbie, we go. You know, Trump's smarter the most, and I say wait and see because he's not done dealing with Zohran Mamdani. 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 I think that the ego is just a minor thing. 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 4D chess. And I've just learned to trust him. I don't let him make me mad because it always comes out great in the end. Oh, to die and come back is Lieutenant Colonel James Carapano's frequent flyer miles. or Donald Trump, or even when he does something wrong, it's perceived as chess. I can do no wrong. Look, my take on the crazy visit with Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office. Number one, Donald Trump is the great disruptor. That was certainly a great disruptive moment. He does believe in keeping friends close, but enemies even closer. It felt immediately like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Zohran Mamdani. And he knows that those kinds of enemies don't need any help in defeating themselves. And yeah, I did mention 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 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, Rory O'Neill is here. We're going to talk about home values here in one quick second. But Rory, that was not what we were expecting Friday. No, not at all. On both sides, in fact, that all seem 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. So a pretty remarkable turnaround. But it's smart politics for both of them in order to try to say, all right, look, we disagreeing a lot. Let's find where we have some common ground and try to make progress there. I think. It's funny. I was, do you do this? Do you try to give 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 response would have been, this isn't about our relationship. This is about how we can serve the American people. And in my case, the New Yorkers. Like, that's what this focus is. It shouldn't be on us two guys. 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.

6:28

was some of the rhetoric of, oh, I'm blank on her name. She's running for governor in New York. Elise Stefanik. Oh, yeah, Elise Tavonic. At least Tavonic called him a jihadist, and they jihadist. Look, there are jihadists. 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 we're running for office, 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 Zohran Mamdani seemed 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? Right? I mean, it's clear the president has now gotten this accusation that he's not paying attention to the affordability crisis. That's all Zohran Mamdani 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 facing them. And then by embracing Zohran Mamdani, now Trump looks like he's addressing the biggest concern out there. Well, now that we did the fun topic, do we have any time for the planned one? Which one were we doing? The Brown Friday? No, more than... More than half the homes have lost value in the past year. I guess that would have, that would all depend on where they're at on a map. Yeah, quicksillow note, West and South are seeing the biggest home declines. It's the first time, though, since 2012, that they've seen more than half the homes lose value. Now, this is on paper, right? This is only about 4% 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 53% now worth less than they were a year ago. Interest rate's not coming down. Home values less, and we haven't solved the... supply side issues of this equation either. Roy's going to be back with Thanksgiving. 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. On a love vest with a socialist, Zohran Mamdani. We'll get the Republican Party take on this and is MAGA in trouble and visit next half hour with David Sinati. In a culture of envy and equality. Does Thanksgiving still even have a place? Let me share a personal story with you. My brother, 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 going to talk to you 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 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? Being ungrateful. Thankless.

9:40

That's the short road to bitterness and resentment. I mean, we'll talk more about this with David Zanati, but Thanksgiving is not a holiday. If you're not thankful every moment, every day, it's not going to 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 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, I don't have my wife. Yeah, 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 518, give thanks in all circumstances. Why? Gratitude is not situational. It's obedience. And he ties thankfulness to 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 Malacocides or Jay Jones, whatever his day was.

11:08

How can you celebrate Thanksgiving when you're in a posture of victimhood and envy? That's really what's at the root of the differences between Zohran Mamdani 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 of all this chaos and it's a truth so somebody said what if we had a democratic socialist monopoly how would that game be 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, etc. Instead of collecting $200, you pay income tax of 35% to be split between the other players. You know what happens soon. No one's buying property. Houses or hotels. Eventually everyone quits trying. All you got to do is just keep going around the board and get your free handout. And I get that. 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 the spiritual side of it?

12:56

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 thanking God as 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 jealousy because you will the hard way 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, Israeli warplanes took out some Hezbollah leaders. Efforts to continue to end the Russian-Ukraine war. Now we have the Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying substantial progress has been made over the weekend. Well, you're all looking at Zohran Mamdani 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, the media reports on it, it's still happening and it's happening every day. As you're hitting your feet to the ground. In gratitude, you may want to thank God for the country you live in rather than hate it. Because in Nigeria, more than 300 students were abducted by a gunman at a private Catholic school. Wicked for Good was number one at the box office, not nearly as good as the first, but it made the $226 million worldwide. And the Rams improved to 9 and 2 with a win over the bucks last night, 34 to 7. We have more of your top five stories coming up in moments from now. Do doctors have Black Friday sales?

A coast-to-coast top of the morning to you on this Monday, November the 27th, the year of our Lord 2025, 26 minutes after the hour. New York mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani is standing by his claims that President Trump is a fascist following their meeting in the White House on Friday.

16:20

And with the president's blessing, apparently. Zohran Mamdani made the comment during an interview with NBC's Meet the Press. Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe. 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 table. 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 Zohran Mamdani's campaign. I'm Tammy Trujillo. Well, I guess they saw Zohran Mamdani find a kind. Why not give it a try? But Hezbollah, Hamas, they're no friends of America or Israel. That didn't stop Hamas from calling for U.S. intervention after bombing in Lebanon. Israeli military officials said Saturday air strikes in Gaza were in response to what it called a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement. Authorities in Gaza say 24 Palestinians were killed and dozens more were wounded. Israel also announced strikes Saturday on several Hezbollah launchers in central and southern Lebanon.

Aldi will close its stores for Thanksgiving along with Best Buy, but the tech retailers' black Friday hours can be found online. Costco's warehouse stores will be closed for the holiday and its Black Friday hours are available online. Dick's sporting goods will be closed on Turkey Day, but will open at 6 a.m. for Black Friday shoppers. Other stores opening bright and early on Friday include J.C. Penny and Coles, which both... Both will open at 5 a.m. Happy shopping. I'm Lisa Carton. And with the return of holiday shopping season, so the return of scammers. Rory O'Neill reports. Swindlers are getting more sophisticated, conning even savvy online shoppers. Beware look-alike digital storefronts, often using URLs that look similar to the real thing. AI is being used to manufacture celebrity endorsements to misdirect consumers to fraudulent websites. Online shoppers are urged to use credit cards, not debit cards for the fraud protection they provide, paying the bill in full at the end of the month. I'm Rory O'Neill.

But as we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast. This is your morning show on the air and streaming live on your I-Heart radio 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 was Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying after meetings this weekend, substantial progress has been made. Israeli warplanes targeted senior Hezbollah leaders over weekend airstrikes in Lebanon. More than 300 students were abducted by a gunman at a private Catholic school in Nigeria. And New York City, Merrillect Zohran 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, 150 million domestically, $226 million 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 do you think win between the Rams and the Patriots right now? 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. It might be the best in the NFL. And boy, were they better than the bucks, 34-7 last night on Sunday night football. And tonight we have Carolina and San Francisco on Monday night. Hey, a win for Carolina. And I think they, no, Atlanta won. So they can't be sole first place in the west. I don't think. I'd have to look at 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 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. Two, Donald Trump always believes in keeping friends close and enemies even closer. We see that with Kim Jong-un. We see that with Vladimir Putin. I guess that puts Zohran Mamdani 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 as simple as you remove the controversy, you drain the fuel from the socialism momentum and runaway train. Or was it a big mistake? Is this the beginning of the end of MAGA? I mean, how do we arrive where Marjorie Taylor Greene is bad and a traitor? And Zohran Mamdani, suddenly he's great. He's going to do great things in New York. Listen, we need people smarter than us. White House correspondent John Decker is here to unravel these surprising developments that has everybody politically a buzz. That was my take. What's yours?

25:17

Well, I think that a lot of what you say is right on point. You know, that idea of keeping your enemies close to you is something that Trump has always abided by. And as it relates to Marjorie Taylor Greene, you know, what that demonstrates. And Marjorie Taylor Greene said this in her social media video. that loyalty is not a two-way three with Donald Trump. He's proved that time and time again. You could not find anyone more loyal to Donald Trump in MAGA than Marjorie Taylor Greene. She went to the mat for that guy. They disagreed on a few issues. But overall, you couldn't find anyone more MAGA than Marjorie Taylor Greene. So that was a huge surprise when Marjorie Taylor Greene made this announcement on Friday night. Yeah, I want to point something out too. 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, you know, he writes, I never thought Marjorie Taylor Greene was anything but a grifter. With her resigning, I've been proven right. She resigns two days after she's fully vested in her congressional pension. And then Reddney went back and did the math, and it will literally be two days after she's vested for her pension. But no, I would bring up Vice President to Mike Pence, right? There's somebody that was very faithful to the president, and he turned on him. There's going to be a lot of people on the right going, wait a minute, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was the MAGA house member, she's a traitor, and Zohran Mamdani 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. This is going to be a tough sell for the right, no? I think it is a tough sell. 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 Zohran Mamdani actually are on the same page. It's just how do you get there? And clearly, I think they're going to butt heads quite a bit when it comes down to policy. Certainly. Zohran Mamdani is not going to cooperate with President Trump and the Trump administration as it relates to 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, as you call it, Michael, between President Trump and the person who will become mayor of New York City on January the 1st. 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 Zohran Mamdani goes on all the Sunday morning shows.

28:06

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 think it's a war between the president and Zohran Mamdani, you're going to have a hard time making the case after the way they behaved in the Oval Office. So if Zohran Mamdani 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. So I think it's as simple as you remove the controversy, you drain the fuel from the momentum. Well, what President Trump has proven time and time again is he can let the bad words rub 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? What are your actions? How do you act? 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 aides in his cabinet is Marco Rubio. Think about the things that Marco Rubio said about Donald Trump way back in 2016 when they were running for president. But it's how you act. And, you know, I think that Zohran Mamdani, you know, will see how 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. That is something that I think is an unknown. How will Zohran Mamdani actually govern once he's sworn in? JD Vance had some pretty choice words about the president. He's the vice president right now.

It's already up there. Have a good one. Have a good one. You've got it. Blessings. Talk to you tomorrow. David Sinati is 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. I would tell you that my take this morning is the same as my immediate take. But I knew what your immediate take was. I don't know what to make of this. What is your take now three days later or two days later? Good morning, Michael. 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'd still be chatting most mornings of the week. And I'm very thankful for our friendship and for your work of service. I want you to know that very much. I say that from a position of a volunteer on the broadcast, not as a paid person working for eye heart or 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. Right.

31:08

Because that really is the fundamental. Well, I want to get to that on Thanksgiving. But real quickly, your take on what you thought happened in the Oval Office. My take on the Oval Office, it beats the heck out of me. Serra. I have no idea. I have, I don't, I've never really gotten Donald Trump. I'm able to observe and make analysis based upon the consequences of Trump's behaviors, actions, strategies, associates, et cetera. As far as what goes on inside his heart and mind, I simply, I don't know. Well, let's take them one at a time. Is this another moment of great disruption? I'm sorry, Michael. This is going to be like, I plead the fifth. I sincerely don't know the answer. Well, everybody was expecting a fight and they didn't get, they didn't get a fight. Well, did he learn something from the Volodymyr Zelensky blow up that happened? Those kind of situations are good. 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? Was that a moment of grace? I'm not going to go that far. I think I do know. I don't know. What about keep your friends? close, but keep your enemies even closer. Because that was my first instinct and discernment. Oh, he thinks of him like a Vladimir Putin and a Kim Jong-un. Well, the elite in America, and I'm sorry, the political media elite in America, Republican and Democrat, but particularly Republicans, have a very strange concept of loyalty. And I don't know. I do not understand why. I have never thought a whole lot of Marjorie Taylor Greene. 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 out of the bus and then back it up over. And then the next day you embrace a guy who's calling you the most ferocious name. I don't get it. I never. I know. You're not getting it is helping a lot of people get it. I never liked Marjorie Taylor Greene at all. But I saw the way he treated her, the way he treated Vice President Mike Pence, and that's troubling. I find it troubling that every time the president does something that we should call into question, we're to assume it's just good chess when we're all dumb and thinking checkers. I never let principles 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 and the fuel out of this socialist momentum?

33:50

Yeah, 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. He kept it. And everyone had left in private. And then Zohran Mamdani had a chance to say what he wants to stay back in New York. And Trump has a chance to say what he wants to say in. in Washington, and it would have been more credible. At this stage in the game, I question the credibility of both the people in the process. I don't get it. Who should be more mad? MAGA, American, conservative, Republicans, or the left? What a great question. Who should be more mad? That is a perfect question. That's a game they're making us play. And a brilliantly structured one on Thanksgiving. Here's an idea. Let's see. What should we argue about more on Thursday? Zohran Mamdani and Trump or... Don't poo-poo on my Thanksgiving parade because what we talk about Thanksgiving here in a minute is way more important than this nonsense. I hear you. I hear you. No, that's the right question. Who should be more mad at it? 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? No, tell us. And then I'll explain why I'm smiling. Yeah, they got set off the top of the board in endless political realities and nothing but extremeness at the whole point in time. There it was. By the way, I'm frightened at 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 peace process. If MAGA is to stumble, if MAGA is to crumble, guess who's waiting in the wings to be the victor? Marco Rubio. Guess who I've supported for 12 years? Marco Rubio. Of course, I'm smiling. I think he's the big winner. No, I can attest to that too. I remember when you were, it was the Marco Rubio first. Marco Rubio was your first choice. In fact, I- Do you remember my famous line about Ted Cruz? You loved it. It used to be one of your favorites. The idea of Ted Cruz is so much better than the actual dinner. The actual, 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. I remember I said, look out for Marco Rubio. He's the next Jack Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. And you said, he's going to lose to Truman. I said, who's Truman? You said Trump. And you were right. That was wrong. 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 going to end up in overtime, but we actually get no overtime to go to. No, we'll get it. We'll get it done. In a culture 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 in some kind of hybrid socialism based on a spirit of envy and a goal of equality. It has nothing to do with the Constitution.

Does Thanksgiving still have a place when your morning show continues next? It's your morning show with Michael Deljourno. There 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 Zanati, we may have to revisit this tomorrow. In a culture of envy and equality, and that's what we're living in, does Thanksgiving still have a place? Yeah, 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 have we set our expectations upon? All arguments are the result of differing expectations. If the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. It's not a one day a year holiday. 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? You know, Michael, I can tell you a quick story. I had a friend passed away, 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 cystic fibrosis. He was a pastor of a small church, way, way, way underemployed. Both his children died before they were 30. And he had a life that he could be miserable with all the time. But every time he felt led to self-pity, he would go out and call on people who were sicker than his kids were. who were poorer than he was, who had worse problems than him 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 might have life and life abundantly. You play by his rules and live 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 in between. You can't get away with not being purposeful in Thanksgiving. And to my brother's credit, I do it every morning before my feet hit the ground. And it's important to do. We get to talk tomorrow, right? Yeah. Why, you want to do more on that? Or are you going to rebut that? What are you doing? What are you going? Not at all. I'll be thankful then too. Give your answer real quick. In a culture of envy and equality, does Thanksgiving still have a place? If we know who are our sources, yes. Amen. Now and forever. David's Night, we'll pick up on that, and then I shared a song with David over the weekend. By AI in worship of Charlie Kirk. And yes, you can read my text. That's bound to come. And I might even play some Dana Carvey for you. All right, we'll do that tomorrow. We're all in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.
