Starting your morning off right? A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Because we're in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Journal. Thank you, Mike McCann, seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Monday, November the 17th year of Aloud, 2025 on the air, streaming live on your Iheart radio app. This is your morning show. The FAA has lifted its flight restriction order at airports nationwide. That went into effect at 6 Eastern this morning. Could things be back to normal at time for Thanksgiving travel? House is set to vote tomorrow on a measure to require the Department of Justice to release all of the files pertaining to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the president says he wants the Republicans to pass that. And Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's receiving threats on social media after being criticized by the president. We're struggling to figure out who really even thinks about Marjorie Taylor Greene. And kind of a sleepy game last night and didn't turn out well for the lions. They fall to six and four losing 16 to nine to the Eagles in Philadelphia. And tonight Monday Night Football brings us to the desert. The Cowboys in Las Vegas. to take on the Raiders. Rory O'Neill is here. The hidden provisions within the bill to reopen the government could upend the hemp industry, effectively criminalizing most THC infused products now sold in the United States. Rory, this is a ripple effect that could get all the way to recreational use of marijuana is what the left is saying. We're struggling to find a way to care about this as well, but I may have listeners that need these things. I just want to be objective. So what's in the bill and what do we think is going to happen? Well, it's a law now, and this is a 30. billion dollar industry that really has grown since the past seven, eight years since that farm bill was passed in 2018. And what was signed last week into law essentially amends that 2018 farm bill to block this loophole that was in this legislation. So the law now caps the THC amount that can be in these hemp products at what, 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container, which is nothing. Because a single hemp Gummy typically has 2.5 to up to 10 milligrams of THC. So essentially this would ban that whole industry. Again, now worth about $30 billion. And so the ban takes effect next year. The supporters of this are hoping they can work their magic with the legislature and try to get this change back before that new deadline comes into effect. I am completely in the dark on all of this, so I won't even try to put on a pretense of somebody that gets it. So, yeah, no, I mean, and I'm not doing that just to look pious. I'm just trying to think, all right, so why just gummies? I mean, wouldn't, what all can you buy at these stores? Because there's the, there's the, what are the, the inhalable ones? What are they, vapes? What about the vapes?

6:11

Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, this is for anything that's infused, these infused products. And that would likely extend to the vape industry as well. So, yeah, and then it's going to depend on the milligrams allowed. And the concern is... We've gotten all used to these products being out there that then suddenly this turns into an underground kind of operation so that you're buying the gummy that Joe makes from his basement. You don't really know what's in it versus some of these much more regulated, professionally done, produced edibles and gummies that are... almost ubiquitous at this point. Then it gets into issues about whether or not items can cross state lines and what state laws say and federal laws and what specific products might come out of production. So let's see how much this becomes a lobbying effort because again, 300,000 people, $30 billion, they might have enough pull on Capitol Hill. You know, when you legalize gaming, you wonder what happens to the old bookies? Do people still use them? When you legalize these drugs, what happens to people that used to sell it illegally? Are they still out there? Well, Los Angeles kind of found, and we were looking at a story earlier this morning where in L.A. they're wanting now to be subsidized because they're not making money. Turns out people are already going to, what would we call them? They're not dealers anymore. They'd be... Third party non-authorized. Whatever. All right. So point four, so it would be so great, I would presume, and especially as strong as some of this stuff has been, the resistance levels, it would be so weakened, it would be unusable. is the conclusion. Right. It essentially would put them out of business. And I'm just checking while you're speaking. And yes, gummies, drinks and vapes all included in these new guidelines. Again, next year. With a lot of time to reverse it, right? All right. Roy is here. We're going to be back in the third hour. Several policy changes occurred for President Trump over the weekend. Some tariffs are being reversed. ICE is now moving into Charlotte after years of supporting Marjorie Taylor Greene. It looks like that honeymoon is over. We'll be back with that story. We'll kind of kick around some of that with David Sinati as well. All right, 12 minutes after the hour, one of the big stories today that we were looking at was who were the big winners and losers of the shutdown? And so Rasmussen does the report. 67% of likely voters approved of the decision to end the government shutdown. So think back when it was shutting prior to it shutting down and as it was shutting down. Think of all the different Democrats that were on talking head television and speaking against this or the networks themselves treating it like it was something bad, some big cave. That is out of step with nearly seven and ten Americans. 44% strongly approved the government reopening. I wish now they'd get that serious about how it operates when it's open.

9:12

and piling up $37 trillion a debt. But there's no question. America wanted the government open. So anybody that stood for the closing of the government was on the wrong end of this. Only 11% strongly disapproved. So what is this socialist, hell-bent, far-left opposition party? When it comes to getting so out of hand that you shut down the government, you represent about 11% of the American people. Good luck with that in the midterms. Now, which party fared better? That's a different question. And 49% of voters believe the Republicans benefited most politically from ending the government shutdown. Just 18% think the Democrats did. That leaves 33% under not sure or I have no use for either of them. Voters are divided over who is the most to blame for the government shutdown. 39% blaming Republicans, 37% blaming Democrats, 21% blaming both parties equally. 58% of Democrat voters believe Republicans in Congress are mostly to blame. Big shock, right? 57% of Republican voters think Democrats. Among non-affiliated voters, I guess they get to be the tiebreaker, 33% blamed Republicans, 31% blamed Democrats. But if ultimately the Republicans stood for reopening the government and 7 out of 10 Americans wanted it reopen, I think you know who won. 79% of Republicans, 59% of Democrats, 62% of unaffiliated voters are at least somewhat approve of the decision to end the shutdown. This was interesting. This was a Pew Research poll in our polls of plenty. And it's talking to high school girls. Now, listen, before I even start rattling off these statistics, remember that old analogy, careful dropping your kids off, and that's if you waited until five, some of... You would say you had to use preschool as well. But presuming you drop them off at five, don't be shocked when you drop them off at five and pick them up at 18 if they've become something completely different. That's how much education has become indoctrination and socialization. So really, as I'm going through all these numbers, I really do think the question of your mind should be, what have they done to our young girls? What have they taught them? Or what's online? What is online done to our young girls? U.S. high schoolers are less likely now than in the past to say that they want to get married someday. And a smaller share today say they're very likely to have children if they do not get married. So in 1993,

12:18

80% of girls plan to get married. Only 5% plan to not get married. That's down to 67%. As of 2023, 67% of the nation's 12th graders say they'll likely choose to get married someday down from 80%. But look at the same thing. Boys are more likely than girls to say they want to get married someday, 74 to 61%. In 1993, a larger share of girls, 83% than boys, 76% said they want to get married. There's some kind of shift going on. I don't know if it's the influence of online, if it's the influence of indoctrination and education. But now boys think more about marriage than girls. And for the girls who less and less are thinking about marriage, they all still plan to have kids as if the marriage has nothing to do with parenthood. And think about all the little steps we've taken to this moment. Oh, two families are better than one. A split family is better than a family living in turmoil. I don't know if covenant marriage exists or just licensed marriage exists. I don't know what the percentage of failed marriages are. I don't know what these kids are seeing that are making them, you know, um. I can tell you that when I get to heaven, I will look at God and say two things. Covenant marriage and parenting. That was the only two things I found that weren't overrated. That to me is what makes life worth living. And I was on the short end of the stick as a child and my children were on the long end of the stick. And having seen both, I can tell you, you can never love your children more than you love their mother or you love their father. I think instinctively that's what all kids want. I can think of nothing that would devastate my children more than if I divorce their mother for whatever reason. But the fact that somebody has separated marriage and children. And think this is a good trend? Pretty troubling to me. This is your morning show with Michael Del Chon. Well, the big vote will be tomorrow in the House to see if the Epstein file should be open, and the president is encouraging Republicans to open them. Trump took to truth social on Sunday night, saying there is nothing to hide that it is time to move on from what he called a Democrat hoax perpetrated by radical left lunatics in order to deflect from the great success of the Republican Party. The House is expected to vote early this week on a measure that would force the Department of Justice.

15:36

to release all of the Epstein files. Many Republicans are expected to vote yes. If the measure passes, it will go to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future. I'm Mark Nefield. Speaking of the president, he's taking aim at Indiana State Republican lawmakers over stalled redistricting efforts. In a truth, Social Post Sunday, Trump specifically called out Senators Rod Bray and Greg Good saying he was, quote, very disappointed. The president added that the lawmakers should do their job and do it now, or let's get them out of office, ASAP. This comes after Bray said Friday there were not enough votes to move forward with the plan and that the Indiana Senate will not reconvene in December. I'm Lisa Carton. As of 6 a.m. Eastern time, the FAA lifted the flight restriction emergency order. Rob Martyr reports. Officials announced the order will be lifted at 6 a.m. Eastern time Monday, meaning flights will resume operations as normal. A reduction in flights at 40 major airports nationwide began a week ago meant to address fatigue and staffing issues among air traffic controllers as the record long government shutdown continued. According to a news release, the decision was made following an FAA review of safety. trends and due to the steady decline of staffing trigger events in air traffic control facilities. I'm Rob Martyr. Motley Cruz, Tommy Lee, Metallica's, Kirk Hammett, and U-2's Adam Jay Clayton. Among those saying goodbye to some of their gear, it's all a part of Julian's played, worn, and torn charity auction. It's taking place this week at the Musician's Hall of Fame and Museum at the Historic Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. A portion of the proceeds will benefit music hares. And additional pieces from the auction will also be supporting causes like Teen Cancer America, Gibson Gives, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Well, the most... popular Thanksgiving side dish in America has been revealed. I sure hope it's my mom's sweet potatoes. Mark Mayfield fills us in. According to the survey, State of the Sides by Campbell's, stuffing remains the most popular side dish this Thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes came in second place, followed by sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and green bean casserole. The survey says 63% of Americans prefer sides over turkey, and nearly half say they would be happy with no turkey at all and just a plate full of sides. I'm Mark Mefield. It is all about the sides, isn't it? This is Richard from Flovilla, Georgia, and my morning show is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.

21:38

Between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, there's also the feud over Israel. I don't know, we're starting to see some chinks in the Republican armor. And they've got a very difficult handoff a few years away from MAGA back to a Republican Party or to keep MAGA alive over the Republican Party. Some of these disagreements, could they have a building and lasting impact on the upcoming midterm elections? Run that by our senior contributor, David Zanati, coming up next hour and our White House correspondent, John Decker, in just a few moments. It's 36 minutes after the hour. In the Eastern time zone, you've got 25 minutes to be to work on time by 8 o'clock, and thanks for bringing us along with you. This is your morning show. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the sound. Red's keeping an eye on the content. The FAA has lifted its flight restriction order at airports nationwide. That went into effect 6 a.m. Eastern this morning. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she received threats on social media after being criticized by the president. And hundreds of federal national guard troops will soon be leaving Portland and Chicago. Sunday night football had the lions falling 16 to 9 to the Eagles. Monday night football tonight has the Dallas Cowboys in the desert, Las Vegas to take on the Raiders, which by the way, Las Vegas is still officially Sin City.

22:56

I can't believe how far New Orleans has fallen. Number one, most sinful city, Las Vegas. Number two is now Houston. What goes out in Houston that's sinful? Los Angeles was third, Philadelphia was fourth, Atlanta was fifth, Denver was sixth, Miami was seventh, Dallas was eighth, Phoenix was ninth. Maybe that's why people don't say they're from Phoenix. And number 10 now is New Orleans. Didn't we used to New Orleans always be number two? Do I know the least sinful place to go? Warwick Rhode Island. You know Red's been there. Do you know where Warwick, Rhode Island is? Of course I do. Many a ton. Yeah, it's the least sinful place. I would have said Salt Lake City. I would have thought that too. Huntsville, Alabama was second. Fremont, California was third. Huntsville, Alabama? Was least sinful. Why? Oh. Why? What'd you do in Huntsville? Yeah, what I'm doing on? Let's look into that next hour. Try to build some QM here. John Decker is our White House correspondent. The big vote is tomorrow. And the president shifting over the weekend, encouraging Republicans to vote. What's the vote? Release all the files on Jeffrey Epstein. John Decker is here. Good morning, John. Hey, good morning. You know, I think the president saw the writing on the wall. That is that a significant number of the president's own allies in the House Republican conference had indicated publicly they would vote. to force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. The president did not want to be on the wrong side of this, and that's the reason for the president's reversal that he announced on social media at about 915 Eastern time last night just before Marine One landed back at the White House. I was actually at the White House. last evening when the president landed there. No comments as he walked into the residence. But clearly, you know, it's just remarkable to see the about face by President Trump just over the course of the past 24 hours. So it would seem with common sense that if there was anything in the Epstein files that could hurt the president, they would have been released years ago when the Democrats were in charge. In fact, there was a time. where Kash Patel was calling for, Dan Bongino was making a living on it, much the same way that Candice Owen is with Charlie Kirk today. Then all of a sudden Kash Patel and Dan Bongino head up the FBI, Donald Trump wins, and then suddenly the Republicans don't want it open. I don't know. I mean, it's either a big nothing burger and there's nothing in there, John, we don't already know. And it's as if it's a political football only as long as it exists, that once it's revealed and the mystery is gone, it doesn't have any weapon power. But is anybody expecting anything shocking in here?

25:49

I don't, you know, the answer to that question is, I don't know. And that same question was posed to Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman from Kentucky, who's been leading the charge to have the DOJ release these files. He has indicated publicly he doesn't know. But he says, look, this is what should be done as it relates to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. They should have essentially. free access to everything contained in those files to make those individuals feel whole again to a certain extent, to see what it is that the world knew as far as the prosecution team of Jeffrey Epstein. And now the world will see ultimately if indeed it passes the House and passes the Senate and President Trump signs that legislation into law. To John Decker, the White House correspondent, by the way, he is not bipolar. He just has several credentials. So every now and that I want to know, I want him to know which one I'm talking to. To the White House correspondent, I would say, could be the president's flipping just to. make Marjorie Taylor Greene now stand for nothing because they seem to be at odds. He could be doing because he set a trap and there's more embarrassing thing for Democrats. He could be doing it for what you said, the writing on the wall. But the lawyer, John Decker, most of what's in here are from depositions. In other words, there was never a trial. to where any of this has been proven. And now, because the defendant is dead, these sealed depositions or whatsoever in these files will now be revealed. And they may not necessarily have been proven true. Is that legally very sound to do? Well, look, you know, I think that you're also forgetting the fact that there's also grand jury testimony that would also be released as part of those Epstein files. We don't know what kind of testimony was given before a grand jury. That is secretive. The only way it can be released is through this process that we're talking about right here. You may recall a judge has refused to release that material. So this is really the only way to get to that material. And, you know, I think anybody would be guessing to say what they think is. contained in those files. Is there a smoking gun? Is there a smoking gun as it relates to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University? We simply don't know. The president has raised a very good point. If there was something contained in these files that was damaging to him, then you would assume Democrats would have certainly thought to release that information prior to the 2024 presidential election. And they never did that. So that's a head scratcher as well. All right. Last question is, do they have the votes in the House and the President's occurring Republicans to vote for it? The answer is probably, of course. Do they have the votes in the Senate, though?

28:42

Well, I think that if indeed the House goes on the record and there's a significant number of Republicans, Thomas Massie was talking about dozens of Republicans supporting this type of measure. I think it would pass the Senate. The big question, though, is just looking down the road, gaming this out, is there a veto-proof majority if indeed the president changes his mind once again and decides to veto this measure? It doesn't look like that would be the case. I don't think that you'd have a veto-proof majority in the House or the Senate, but you never know. Momentum's a strange thing, Michael. John Decker, if you want to hear more from the White House, his podcast, the White House briefing room will be up by 9 Eastern 8th Central and we'll talk again tomorrow. God bless you, my friend. We'll talk to them. Thanks, Michael. All right, if you're just waking up, these are your top five stories of the day. We have done the math on this, numeral uno. It doesn't make any sense to us. First of all, the Goldman's have to wait 30 years so much for speedy justice. The Simpson estate has agreed to pay the Goldman family $58 million. Problem is, from all the records we perused, the Simpson estate is only worth $3 million. Something doesn't add up. Tammy Trujillo has the details. According to court documents, the estate executor has accepted the family's claim, which was originally filed in 2021 for 117 million. It's not clear how much the estate will be able to raise from selling Simpson's assets. Simpson died in April of 2024. He was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman, but was found liable in civil court. I'm Tammy Trujillo. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing back on President Trump's recent criticism of her. The Republican from Georgia tells CNN State of the Union some of the president's recent comments about her have been hurtful. He called me a traitor and that is so extremely wrong. Saying the feud erupted after she signed a discharge petition to force a vote to release files related to the convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. I don't believe that... that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have done anything wrong. In a social media post, the president also called Green a ranting lunatic and said she'd gone far left. I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Well, my daughters and wife have drugged me to Wicked and they'll drag me to Wicked again, but I'm going to draw the line at this. Guess what's coming to the big screen?

31:17

A Labubu movie is in the works. Sony Pictures has acquired the screen rides to the plush toy and is in early development of a feature film. A deal was reportedly signed last week with the Chinese toy makers. No producer or filmmaker is attached yet to the project and it's unclear if the film would be a live action or animated. Potential characters would include, of course, Labubu, the lead monster doll, as well as fellow monsters Zimomo, companion McCoco, and boyfriend Ty Coco. I'm Lisa Carton. I think everything that needs electricity needs to be turned off. I'm just talking. Boo-boo-boo-a-coco. What is going on? A boo-boo-boo-a-shoo loo. A shoe-boot-a-d-doo. A record number of Americans are traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday. Nearly 82 million people will travel for Turkey Day. 73 million are expected to drive and 6 million will fly. But AAA says some flyers may opt to drive instead because of flight disruptions tied to the shutdown. Cruise vacations are increasingly popular over the long Thanksgiving weekend. Top domestic destinations include Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, Paris, Amsterdam, and Vienna are the top international spots. I'm Rory O'Neill. All right, the Lions fell to 6 and 4 last night, losing 16 to 9 to the Eagles if you fell asleep on Sunday night football.

You don't need somebody to tell you what to think. We just hear for ourselves and decide for ourselves. They're always revealing and they're often entertaining. They're your sounds of the day. All right, everybody. Lock and low. Look, you've just got to try harder, not to suck. So I'm glad for the opportunity for a brief civics lesson. You're a fashion. Perhaps you'd like to be alone with your rapidly deteriorating mental condition. When it comes to politics, you don't know it's. All right, so we often explain what is bias. Well, you can conduct bias by the stories you cover, the stories you ignore. The angles you choose to discuss, the angles you ignore. The people you talk to, the people you don't, the questions you ask, the questions you don't. The answers you use, the answers you don't. And then sometimes let's get back to the main one. Sometimes it's all in the question. This is Katie Kirk with John Fetterman. No wonder he fell right after this. Do you think that flag should have been flown at half staff? Do you think his body should have been flown on Air Force 2? Do you think he should have posthumously be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom? I think some people felt that that was perhaps over the top in terms of mourning someone like Charlie Kirk. I wonder what she meant by, I wish she would have said, what do you mean by someone like Charlie Kirk? Because depending on that answer, I might have agreed with her. I presume she doesn't want to talk at length about the government shutdown, or maybe she does not knowing that nearly seven out of ten of Americans were against the government shutdown. But this is just pick on John Fetterman time. And here's this long, loaded question. I mean, everything was in there except for when are you going to stop beating your wife? Listen. How did you feel about that? I'd say that that was his choice and his prerogative. And that's where that's that was really entirely up to him. Did you have any issues now in hindsight over some of the things that Charlie Kirk said and some of the rhetoric he used during his life? I didn't agree with much of it. I didn't closely followed his specific kinds of views. But I did. I'm sure you learned about them after his death, though. Why is this woman still doing, but I know it's just, it's so ridiculous. Why is she still doing videos though? I mean, she left the Today Show. She failed as a CBS news anchor. She disappears for a while. And now she just does these very partisan attack videos.

online only still being try still trying to be gotcha katy kind of a thing now listen i will tell you for the record and i think it's late to be having this conversation there were a lot of things that made me uncomfortable that was certainly unprecedented for a vice president of the united states to go pick up someone but we discussed it in real time But that vice president probably isn't vice president if Charlie Kirk doesn't talk Donald Trump Jr. into talking his father into choosing him over Marco Rubio. But it is unprecedented for a vice president to go pick up a civilian body after a murder. And certainly transport the body on Air Force 2, let alone have a major stadium memorial service where an entire cabinet is present. let alone fireworks. I mean, I have a lot of questions. But why that now? Why Katie Couric? Because they have no tolerance for John Fetterman. It's a gotcha attempt to destroy John Fetterman. And they'll use whatever they have to to do it. Just like I suspect they're going to be using Marjorie Taylor Greene next. Congresswoman, you posted on X that President Trump is with his comments fueling a quote, hotbed of threats against you. Obviously, any threats to your safety are completely unacceptable. But we have seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from the president at other people. It's not new. And with respect, I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

Dana, I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It's very bad for our country. And it's been something I've thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, is that we, I'm only responsible for myself. How about two assassination attempts on the president? The clock's telling me I'm out of time. We're going to have to do a part two, maybe. Red said something earlier. She's the Jasmine Crockett of the Republican Party. No, I think she's the John Fetterman of the Republican Party. Now they're going to, you watch, now the movement's going to be to get her out of the party. The left's going to clamber onto her the way the right is clambered on to John Fetterman. I mean, it's just, ugh. I could be wrong, but are you sick of all this partisan politics as much as I am? We're all in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Chorno. Wasn't that delicious? So good. Your bill, ladies? I got it. No, I got it. Seriously, I insist. I insisted first.
