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 Dell Journal. we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private. Obviously a much different tone in victory than in candidacy. We quoted Thomas Jefferson earlier, the government you elect is the government you deserve. Well, New York has a 34-year-old with zero experience, socialist, Islamist, Muslim, what could possibly go wrong. David Zanadi is our... Senior contributor, he's also the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, hosts the Public Square. Again, very predictable, David. These are blue states, blue cities. We used this analogy earlier. If last night was about the mayor's race in Oklahoma City, two governor's races in Texas and Tennessee, and a proposition in Alabama, the outcome wouldn't be shocking. But this... Very predictable victory night could pose some serious problems in the year ahead for the Democrat Party as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani make this a national referendum. Your take. Well, it's a difficult way to figure this out, Michael. There's a lot of ways to look at this particular election. There's six million. adults in New York City, a voting age eligibility, only one million voted for Zohran Mamdani. So there you go. You've got one million out of the six million. So what kind of consensus is that based upon to operate? And about a million voted for the other two candidates. So what does that tell us? Two million people voted and the biggest population in New York is the one that doesn't care. That was a two to one victory. Well, they may feel differently in a little while. The biggest problem for Zohran Mamdani moving forward is... How does he succeed? I mean, if he doesn't follow through on everything that he pander towards, and yesterday he tried to back away a little bit from the free groceries, he's got to pay for it. To pay for it, he's got to raise, as he's been selling everybody, taxes on the rich. Can't do that without the governor's approval, and she faces a reelection. So either she's going to cost herself her governor's raise, or he's not going to be able to deliver.

But does that even matter? Is everybody just on board? Is this just the new cool kid kind of a thing? Yeah, this was a social media election. And it fundamentally means nothing in the sense that it tells us nothing other than that there's a million people in New York City that are willing to vote for a communist whose fundamental group affiliation blew up the Twin Towers. I don't know. I'm sure people have been talking much harsher than that in New York. But if you had said to us on September 12th, 2001, just wait, 24 years later, you're going to elect, or however many years, 24 years later, you're going to elect a one of, you're going to elect someone that was pleased with what happened today. And he'll be standing right next to the president at the 25th anniversary commemorative ceremony. So now, whether today he has the courage to say out loud, he probably certainly doesn't, but no one can judge his heart on that particular day. I don't even know where he was on that day. What was he? He's 34 years old, so was he 11 years old on that day? So maybe he should be held harmless. Maybe he didn't even know what was happening on that day. Well, he's made comments as an adult that would suggest. where he's at. He certainly was in that speech. What do you make of the different tone? I mean, this man was, it was a very Islamist. response after victory. And I think he even, at the end, when he concluded it being a proud Muslim, I mean, he's sending clear messages, you know, because there's two, there's the House of Islam, which is, you know, those that have surrendered to it, and then there's the House of War. He almost, very Islamist, took this victory as the waging of war. In other words, I just got elected mayor, and now I'm waging war with the president. And you're going to have to go through all of us. I have learned a lot listening to you over the years on radio and the different experts and guests and the books that we've discussed and the things that we've read together in learning more about Islam. And so what you have is, again, you've got 4 million people in New York of the 6 million people who could have voted who said we don't care. That's a greater danger to the city, to the state, and to the republic. than the person they elected. But they just don't care. Does this in any way set a major theme for the midterm election to be socialism versus capitalism? That could be... Well, I think you're also analyzing the question of momentum. Now, we've got these two waves of communication going on across the media this morning. One is, it's no big deal. It's all blue voting. The other is, wait a second. This is such a significant sweep at every level. the underperformance of all challenging on Republican sides or none whatsoever in New York City as the case may be. Excuse me. This is one of those things where that's one side of the momentum. The other side of the momentum is, wait a second. What were the issues? And the issues are issues that Donald Trump is doing very poorly on right now. And you've been putting that out all day. It's the economy. So therein we have the challenge of.

They'll ride the issue. The experts will ride the issue. And Donald Trump is extremely vulnerable on the economy. Look, anybody can make up the political commercials that while he's been pursuing a Nobel Peace Prize, while he's been worried about international global conflicts and he's been ascending his power and authority over tariffs, and now the Supreme Court's getting in on the question, people are basically... unable to get health care. They're unable to pay for gasoline. They're unable to get food. The government shut down. The economy hasn't changed. Gasoline prices are still high energy prices. They're skyrocketing. There's a hole in the boat. Nobody's saying that what the president has been working on wasn't important. You know, ending wars is a noble thing. But at some point, and I think that point is now. The president's probably going to be handed a tremendous defeat by the Supreme Court on tariffs. I just don't know how he gets this through. This has nothing to do with national emergency and everything to do with his feeling that we're getting a raw deal, but he does not have the powers within the presidency. So I think he starts off with a really bad blow. Then he goes into the holidays. I would wrap things up. in the Middle East and with Russia as best you can and the drug war as best you can, you have got to get to energy. Because A, energy is not in a good place and it's driving, it's keeping food costs high. He has not refilled the reserve that was drained. And AI is. Well, there's two ways to look at it. It's a clear and present danger, much bigger than TikTok that you swept under the rug. You've got to master the economy and then you have got to hit the road in campaign like it's your name on the ballot next year. Or people are going to be surprised. Either this radical socialist wave will continue within that party or the new sensible Democrat will emerge and can create a wave that could give them, I mean, He could wake up a year from now facing monthly impeachments. Yeah, and of course that, and while that's true, there's also a dynamic amount of humor in that. So, I mean, at least he would get the award for the most impeachments of any president in history. I think that there's a certain humor if they go that direction. But last night picked up, and you've already mentioned it significantly, there are. big issues in regards to what the Democrat Party plans for America in the telling of last late election. After all, it was a home game for them. It was their coloring book. And they colored it just the way it should have been anticipated, particularly in Florida, where the voters, or excuse me, in California, where the voters of that state decided that they would now, in fact, become the one-party state that Roy Tierra and his consultants planned. 30 years ago and mobilized their lifetime to develop, to drive Republicanism and the Republican Party out of existence to end representation in California for Republicans to make it a singular one-party state. They sealed the deal, and Barack Obama and Eric Holder were there. That's a long-term play.

California becomes, in essence, the harbinger of the new civil war. All in the name of checks and balances, all in the name of saving democracy. I don't have to tell you that was the same motive for shadow campaign. There's nothing democratic about it. Now, as we've talked about, it's very constitutional with new census to redistrict as population shift. This was for the purposes of gerrymandering. They're going to go from, never mind, 40% of California is Republican and votes Republican. They only have 17% representation that's about to shrink to 7%. Representation. At what point, and we have zero, I believe in Massachusetts, at what point do we go to the Supreme Court and say, I'm not paying taxes? This is taxation without representation. Well, the court will tell you move. And they should and they are. Yeah, yeah, they'll say move. That's a political question. Of course, now that brings up the interesting question on what you've been talking about with John Decker today because it'll be interesting to watch what John Roberts says. John Roberts, who gave Obamacare legitimacy. When it came time to, gee, is that a fee or a tax that's being charged? And he went the wrong way. So it'll be interesting to see this time whether John Roberts stays consistent with what he is basically talking about. Is that a tariff or is that a tax? Now, the country wins if the Supreme Court. defines the constitutional powers of Congress and the presidency accurately, even if it costs Donald Trump a trip to Congress to get his tariffs passed. The country wins if the court discerns it correctly. That's going to be based on arguments, and it's too early to call. I know this sounds like an old church. Sounds like an old church game, but seriously, in case somebody wasn't, would you say that again? Because you really... The president can easily continue down the tariff road with this Congress. It'll be a simple act. But the Supreme Court getting this right and then doing that, that can be a perfect path for the president. Well, I don't think it'll get him what he wants. I think that the idea that he'll get a terrorist through Congress is wildly optimistic because there's plenty of opposition in the House. So I don't think he'd even get it through the House. But the fact that he tried and was denied by the court and his own Republican Party wouldn't pick it up. See, he doesn't have a Republican Party.

Donald Trump is a free agent. He is an outside agent of change. And he's going to have wins and he's going to have losses based upon the establishment of the United States Congress, which is playing its own game. Now, we're covering a lot of territory today. And you ask yourself, well, how does it connect between New York and California and now we're back to Congress? It is all connected because it's about what kind of government are we going to have? Are we going to have a government based upon tribalism based on whoever the most organized tribe wins? Or we can have a government based upon constitutional law. Now, Donald Trump is trying to do the right thing. But if he's doing it in a way that the Constitution prohibits and the court rightly discerns that based on, and I don't have all the facts yet, so we have to wait and see, then that's not bad for the republic. And if we can't get those tariffs passed through Congress, all that tells us is that there are not enough people in the country participating in the process to win those seats. But we have to remember and see the bigger picture. Where is Barack Obama? Where is Eric Holder? Where is John Podesta? Yes, where is John Podesta? The players that play the game for the long play of the Democrat Party, they had a really good night last night. Yeah, they did. Because they're playing the long game. I have to take the break, but when we come back, this will stink to high heaven. If suddenly the Democrats capitulate or, you know, cave in. And we get the government reopened instantly. That would suggest to me anyway, the shutdown was designed to get those victories, especially with that attorney general's race and the governor's race in Virginia because they needed that shutdown to continue and overshadow the controversy of these candidates. But yeah, I think what you're seeing is, and especially like in New Jersey where we fought that race with Jack Ciattarelli was so much closer. This is a very tribal partisan country. Interesting as interesting as both parties are in shambles. More on that when we come back with David Sinati. History shows that every market falls. Every currency can collapse. Today the dollar is shrinking, trillions in national debt, record high markets define gravity, but stocks can't go up forever. Meanwhile, groceries, housing, transportation costs, they're all rising. And your dollar, it's buying less every day. So if and when the crash hits, your stocks won't save you. Dollars won't either. But one thing will, gold. Gold has always survived. That's why central banks are buying gold by the time. Billionaires are stocking up and everyday Americans are beginning to protect their savings in retirement with physical gold.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

But as we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast. On the air streaming live on your iHeart radio app, this is your morning show. I'm Michael Deljourno, and this is your day. Wednesday, November the 5th, you of our Lord, 20. 25. Well, Zohran Mamdani is the New York Post. It's front page. Says on your marks, as in Carl, get set, the big red apple. New York has elected a socialist, Islamist Zohran Mamdani gets 50.4% of the vote. Andrew Cuomo, 41.6%, Slee was 7%. Even if you gave all of Curtis Sliwa's votes to Andrew Cuomo, he still would have come up short. The rank share. ploy and tactic to get Zohran Mamdani through the primary to the general. It pays off in the end. He's the next mayor. Abigail Spanberger, 57 to 42%. We expected an easy victory in Virginia. Mikie Sherrill, 56% to Jack Ciattarelli's 43%. That was wider than many expected. And Prop 50 passed was 63% of the vote. In the name of checks and balances in democracy, they did the most undemocratic thing, a vote for gerrymandering. We also had a... UPS cargo jet crashed during takeoff. It was on fire as it was taking off. Seven dead, 11 in the hospital fighting for their life. It's day 36 of the government shutdown. And the Supreme Court begins to hear a huge case. Everything on tariffs are at stake for the president today. I got this email from Mary. You and David forgot to mention only a few days ago, Republican senators Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul all voted against Trump's global tariffs. So if the Supreme Court should uphold this and the tariffs are deemed unconstitutional, the president's only route is to go through Congress where the power would belong. And the question is, does he have the votes? And it doesn't look like it. Anything I'm missing in our recap? I think you got it. All right, David Zanati's here, our senior contributor. Let's turn to AI. I know that you and the team at the Public Square are going to be featuring this on your show this weekend. I love the way you worded it. Welcome to the Gilded Age of AI. It's here. And everybody will tell you and treat it like it's some kind of a tool. But what is it? And do we have the power grid to power it, or more importantly, the understanding and the ability to economically survive it? We talked last half hour. The president really needs to not so much respond to last night's election. These were blue states and blue cities. But he's got to turn his focus to energy. And he's got to turn his focus to AI and not TikTok because these are ticking time bombs. Things could go south very fast for this president, starting with the Supreme Court ruling.

Well, we've got to remember that the socialist now announced out loud in celebrating, the socialist left also owns much of the media. And so their campaign machine doesn't have to be ginned up, turned on, or funded. It already exists. And that's why alternative media, such as programs like this, are so important because where else can people hear more sides to the story? All right. So this is a very real problem that Donald Trump is facing. He tends to come to terms pretty quickly these days with problems once he gets a hold of them. It just depends on whether the yes men around him will be honest with him. Bottom line is year two of Donald Trump cannot be year one. Can't be. Well, and it better stop tomorrow or yesterday because it's already late in the game. Anyhow, I got to go to AI with you. No, but the big circle is energy, but AI is a big part of that energy story. And the economy, and AI is a big part of that as well. Let me introduce everybody to a new name. Will Douglas Heaven. Will Douglas Heaven? What an interesting name. Here's his bio. He says, I am the senior editor for AI. at MIT Technology Review, where I cover new research, emerging trends, and the people behind them. Previously, I was the founding editor at the BBC Techs Meets Geopolitics website, Future Now, and Chief Technology Editor at New Scientist magazine. I have a PhD in Computer Science from Imperial College London and know what it's like to work with robots. Number one, that's a resume unlike Zohran Mamdani, but go ahead. Okay. Now, this gentleman, Mr. Heaven, Will Douglas Heaven, writes a tremendous article in MIT review how AGI, AGI is the more proper technical name for artificial general intelligence, became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time. Here's the bottom line. This guy who with these credentials says, ask someone when they're talking to about AI to define it and listen carefully. What is AI? Because the truth of the matter is nobody really knows yet. What a powerful question. But that question just, just set the right focus. What is it? Yeah. So this is what we're talking about, wild speculation. governing the stock market, impacting huge government agencies, a competition, all of the speculation, all of this money. We're talking about Open AI, the corporation that has CHAT GPT being valued as a private company at $500 billion in talking about going public. Do people know that this company has gone through? a handful, three or four different permutations of reincorporating themselves from an original open source nonprofit to now just a few days ago, fully proclaiming themselves and filing as a four-profit corporation. But wait a minute, they said from the very beginning, no one entity can have that much control over something so powerful.

change their mind. Oh, kind of like Bill Gates on global warming, never mind? Yeah, yeah, never mind. When we get to a valuation of 500 billion, never mind. Never mind, okay. And what do you think they're going to be pulling in money-wise when they go public? Now look, if this was just the rich kids from Silicon Valley, who we made billionaires faster than anyone else in the history of the human race, getting rid of their excess revenue on a whim, then they stand to be the ones that lose all the money. But they can't lose more than they're making an interest every day. Well, but when this starts to suck in institutional lending and individual shareholders on this big thing that some of the world's greatest experts can't even define what it is. And if you can't define what it is, how on earth can you tell us where it's going? It's wild speculation at this stage. Well, and speculation varies from it will collapse the economy, literally. instantly creating a crisis, maybe you should be buying gold, to, oh, it's just a tool. And here's five effective ways to use this new tool. Look, I like the Jetsons. I really like flying cars. I really like magic ovens. I love all that stuff. How did the Jetsons exist without artificial general intelligence? There was no AI in the Jetsons. In other words, a car that drives itself used to be called a robot. Now people look at it and say, that's AI. Well, what else is AI? But some define it as the ability to think better than humans. That's one of the original objectives was to outperform humans. That's kind of some of the original mission statement language that was in there. But heaven knows where they are now. They're all over the board. Now, one thing that's certain is that the division of AI that is controlling most people's mindsets because it's got into their face on their screens are the large language models. where AI programming, software program, at this stage we're talking about a software program, okay? I don't care. We call it XYZ. Who cares what you call it? Can create a website in 30 seconds. It can take a gross picture of you at home and turn into a beautiful headshot. All great, wonderful uses. And what is it? It is a software program that goes out and scrapes all other digital content, then scours it. then sorts it based upon your questions, then produces it in its own fashion of reality. That's what that does. It's the ultimate photographic memory. Yes, however, however, it is solely dependent upon what is first entered. And to presume that as vast as the Internet is on digitized content, that it is the exhaustion of all human intelligence. There's a lot of dumb stuff on the internet. Did anybody figure that out? David Zanani is the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He's host to the Public Square on 200 stations. He's our senior contributor. We're talking about the gilded age of AI that they can't even define. Well, the first clear and present danger is AI is here. It's growing. Do we have the grid to power it? And the answer is no.

They might break the economy. Between the speculation in the market and the energy crisis that they are well in advance of creating, they could blow everything up on the way there. There was a moment during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and I can't remember. I've got to be careful because I don't want the movie 13 days to be the history because most of that movie was taken directly out of White House logs. It may have been Kenny O'Donnell. It may have been JFK. But the bottom line was that there is no wise man in the room. There is no wise man in the room on AI. And if there is, it's only the people that will benefit from AI, but we better get somebody wise in the room quickly and the president better because this is. This is certainly, I think, the most profound issue that no one will talk about when next year is in progress, but everything about our time and all time rides on some wise man rising up in the room from an energy perspective and from an economic perspective. Would you agree with that? Yeah, and that's why on Road 2 at the inauguration of Donald J. Trump, you had all the energy barons there because they knew they were going to need all kinds of regulatory relief to get the power that they were going to need and to get away with this great energy steel. And this is on a grid that already is ancient and needs replaced. So, yeah, the barons are playing in Washington, D.C. Beware. Yeah, and if they don't get what they want. They won't be standing behind JD Vance or Marco Rubio in the future or any Republicans in the midterm election either. So this is kind of some of the stuff that's really relevant behind the scene because what will be the narrative of next year is potentially even a socialism versus capitalism referendum or other things. But this is the big stuff that the big money behind the scenes is really making next year about. And it needs to get on the president's radar. So we'll do more of this tomorrow, I think, as well. Great. David, great analysis as always. Don't forget, the Public Square is heard on 200 stations, but on demand whenever you wanted at the public square.com. And this weekend, they'll go very in depth on the gilded age of AI. Thank you, David. It's your morning show with Michael Deljourno. On January 1st, I will be sworn in. as the mayor of New York City. Well, it was a sweep for the Democrats last night, but was it a Democrat night or a Democrat socialist night? Zohran Mamdani becomes the next mayor of New York City, 34 years old, no experience socialist, Muslim, Islamist. What could possibly go wrong? A fired up Zohran Mamdani thanked his family and his supporters, saying New York has delivered a mandate for change and a new kind of politics. We turn the page on a policy. that abandons the many and answers only to the few. Zohran Mamdani hammered home his promises of free buses, universal child care, and a freeze on rent. We will hire thousands more teachers. We will cut waste from a bloated bureaucracy. His message to President Trump. To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

Scott Tringle, NBC News Radio, New York. Abigail Spanberger with the easy victory in the governor's race in Virginia. We sent a message to the whole world that in 2025, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship. Expected to be close, turned out to not be very close at all. Mikie Sherrill, proud to be New Jersey's next governor. I've spoken with thousands of you over this last year. I know your struggles. I know your hopes. I know your dreams. So serving you is worth any tough fight I have to take on. Meanwhile, officials say at least seven people are dead and 11 injured after a UPS cargo jet crashed at takeoff from Louisville's Mohammed Ali International Airport. Rory O'Neill is joining us with the latest on election night analysis as well as this crash. Let's start with the crash, Rory. All three crew members dead. The NTSB is investigating the rest of the deaths and the injuries all coming on the ground. Give us the latest. Right. So we now are up to nine confirmed fatalities in that crash. That's according to the mayor's office there. The airport did reopen a couple of hours ago. So far, the processing air traffic has been light. But obviously that is a hub for UPS and there's a lot of pressure to get that open. Of course, now more imagery is showing up and we're seeing the fact that there is an engine on the side of the runway that is going to be a huge clue for those NTSB investigators. As it appears, there was some sort of catastrophic failure within the engine, wasn't contained on that left engine. That caused a fire on the plane as it was taking off. That MD 11, more than 30 years old, has three engines. Two under the wings, one in the tail in the back. And now from the video, we can see one of those engines was alongside the runway, certainly making it a challenge almost impossible for that crew to lift off with a plane full of fuel for a very long flight to Hawaii. Tragic. All right. If we were analyzing an election night after a mayor's race in Oklahoma City, two governor's races in Texas and Tennessee and a proposition in Alabama, we wouldn't be surprised by the outcome. That was pretty much all blue states and blue cities last night. But some of the margins of victories greater than we thought. And they may be victories for the Democrats in a night that create headaches for a year. But analysis of all the elections. Yeah, I think Democrats should listen as to why Zohran Mamdani was the winner of that race. You know, what forced these voters or made them think that turning to a Democratic socialist was the way to go? And is that the way the rest of the party is going? When they were touting John Fetterman in the last election was much more moderate or even Governor Josh Shapiro or Wes Moore. You know, obviously Gavin Newsom further to the left in California, but it is still that turning point.

Now for the party, the Democratic Party, as to what will its future be? I know Fox News wants to make Zohran Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party, but is that really what the Democrats in Missouri or Ohio or Michigan are thinking? No, because if next year becomes a midterm election referendum on capitalism for socialism, it's not going to play nationally the way it played last night. So you're going to see Democrat. I mean, that was instant. I mean, there was a definite tone change in Zohran Mamdani. The candidate smiling and meek, the victorious kind of tyrannically saying New York today, America tomorrow kind of a thing. Even Van Jay Jones on CNN was like, what the heck is this? But it's going to give us a lot of fun stuff to look at and talk about all four victories for the Democrats last night in those major races. Rory, great reporting as always.
