Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael DelGiorno and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening 5 to 8 a.m. Central
and 6 to 9 Eastern on great stations like 620
WJDX in Jackson, Mississippi or Akron's News Talk 640 WHLO
in Akron, Ohio and News Radio 570 WDAK in Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
(00:20):
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
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 DelGiorno. It is
your morning show.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Chris Kroc in for Michael DelGiorno. We are on the
air and streaming live on the iHeart app. From Sacramento
to Dallas and Tampa and D.C. with Cleve Akron or Akron.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That was Akron.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And Memphis in between, I declare it Akron. Well, we
got some talkbacks. Let's hit those first. Let's hear from KMYI, Blake.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You talk about housing and a 59-year-old now is the
starting age to buy a home. How many homes are
going to be bought when we're under communism in this country?
We're all going to be stacked up in ten-minute housing
like they have in China. Have a great day, Chris.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You are right, sir. You are very correct.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It's just shocking to see how many people are ignorant
and support socialism openly now. It's mind-numbing and it's very scary.
Let's go to KTLK.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Could it be that China's hiring.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
people to protest data centers?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Could it be that China is hiring people to protest
at data centers? I don't know, but we do know
that X said that about 200 bots, it appears from
possibly China, have been found in the X sphere. Let
me get my information correct to make sure I don't
have any of this off. China secretly fueling America's data
(02:14):
center rage from Axios. 200,000 accounts, excuse me, Chinese accounts. 200,000,
including 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate
a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy. It's
because they want us to be against data centers. Also, Russia, China,
(02:36):
and Iran also caught.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Infiltrating. This is from The Hill.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
OpenAI disrupted the Chinese-linked influence operation that used ChatGPT to
generate fabricated social media posts opposing American AI data centers.
The campaign was dubbed Data Center Bandwagon, created fake American
personas arguing that data centers would dramatically increase electricity bills
and harm local communities. OpenAI traced the activity to a
(03:06):
private Chinese technology company working for provincial government clients. Rather
than promoting the overtly... pro-beijing narratives the operators sought to
insert themselves into an already contentious american policy debate instead
of inventing new grievances they amplified existing ones by creating
fake local accounts designed to appear authentic you are i
don't want to be nasty to your mean but you
(03:28):
are being programmed by the chinese iranians and russians to
be against ai and data centers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
A raging, raging.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Leftist, hardcore leftist liberal down the street has a say
no to AI data centers. To me, what a sign
could also say is say yes to China and them
managing your data. That's what's on the line. In my
humble opinion, you can chime in on that too, please.
(03:59):
It's your morning show. Chime in by hitting that talkback
button on your iHeart app and go to town. We
have one more talkback from WKBN, don't we, Producer Joe?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Doesn't it make sense that if you're not taking oil
off the market to put in the strategic reserves, then
gas prices will go down?
Speaker 7 (04:17):
If you're using that.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Oil to fill the strategic reserves, then you're not taking
the oil off the market.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Talking about the huge deal.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
To refill the strategic petroleum reserve with that Venezuela deal
that's coming down the road. Could take 10 years, though.
I mean, I can't... I mean, obviously, if you're taking
a demand off the market, you're going to lower the prices. But.
The SPR is, I mean, you know, producer Red, you
(04:50):
were nodding your head yes on that too.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But, I mean, think of it.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
If you fill the SPR, it doesn't affect supply and demand,
does it? I mean, maybe it does somehow. But what
he said sounds to make sense to me. But when
you think of it, though, it's not going into the market.
You know, it's newly tapped oil that hopefully will pay off.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But this will take several years for it to go through.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I wanted to hit, most importantly, over the weekend, you've
got Abdul Rahman Mohammed El-Sayed. And by the way, producer
Jeff says, why do you and Michael, why do people
always pronounce Hispanic names with the Spanish, Hispanic accent and
the Muslim accent?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Every time that you do a foreign name.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Whether it be Spanish.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
They always go to the Arabic pronunciations. Por favor. Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Abdul Rahman Mohamed El-Sayed. It's pretty good. Is it pretty good?
You did good.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Producer Red says it's more national security, not your wallet.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's exactly what I thought, too. And I think, too. Okay, so,
Abdul Rahman Mohamed El-Sayed.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Fake apology over the weekend at the Michigan Democrat, what
do you call it, midterm conference. DNC, well not DNC,
but the Michigan Democrat Party, their annual convention in Lansing.
Abdul Syed saying that if you're offended, he's sorry if
(06:31):
you're offended, but he actually doesn't even apologize.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
My comments might have been misconstrued to be justifying something
I did not intend to justify, right? To anybody who
feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I'm really sorry.
That was not my intention. We condemned that terrorist attack.
We condemned it outright.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I am. If you are offended, if you are offended,
you have you may have misconstrued.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I didn't do anything wrong. You may have misconstrued.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Sorry if you're someone who misconstrued my comments to anyone
who feels like my comments may have been hurtful.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm really sorry. It's a Hillary Clinton non apology. What
did he say? If you recall, here's what he said.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
When it comes to Temple Israel, I was profoundly shaken.
Many of my friends growing up worshiped the Temple Israel.
Nothing justifies the heinous attack that we saw on Temple Israel.
And I stand in solidarity with my Jewish sisters and
brothers for an America where that.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Kind of thing never happens again.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
I also think it's just critical for us to understand
that hurt people do hurt people. And the circumstances happening
6,000 miles away can affect the lives that we live here.
And if we stand against violence, we've got to stand
against violence, all violence.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
What he's saying is he understands why a Lebanese American
terrorist drove a van crashing through the entrance of a
synagogue where 140 little Jewish children were learning. He understands
why he would crash in there with fireworks and gasoline
and a rifle and try to slaughter 100 Jewish children.
(08:07):
He understands because after all, this terrorist... His brother, a
Hezbollah terrorist in Lebanon, had just been killed by Israel, righteously,
killing the terrorists who are attacking them. And he understands
why this Lebanese-American man would all of a sudden try
to murder 140 Jewish people, children.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Because he's hurt. Why is he hurt?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Because his terrorist brother with Hezbollah was blown up by Israel.
Hurting people hurt people. That's what he says. So what
he's really saying is we need to really reevaluate killing
terrorists and attacking terrorists as they're trying to kill us.
He understands. So he didn't apologize. He is, in my opinion,
(08:58):
my estimation, an anti-Semite, a Jew-hater. And he can't dance
around it. It's a fake apology. I don't accept this apology,
and I don't think you should either. The anti-Semitism, the
Jew hatred is so rife in Michigan that the Jewish
Attorney General for the state of Michigan, Dana Nessel, did
(09:20):
not go to the Democratic Convention this weekend because she
fears for her safety.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
The threats that I received are almost exclusively anti-Semitic threats.
I'm not going to be attending the nominating convention for
the Michigan Democratic Party in August. And that is because
I don't feel safe going.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Radical Islam and far-left Marxist socialists and their Jew hatred,
it's working. They're intimidating the top cop in the state
of Michigan from going to the annual Democratic convention. Here's
some of the anti-Semitism also from the left.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
The Israeli government commits genocide.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Any state that privileges one religion over the other is
one that I can't tell you I support, whether it
be Israel.
Speaker 11 (10:13):
You're running around basically tying your entire identity to Jewish ISIS.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And you're saying, as Jews, this is all we care about.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Our state was rocked by news of a heinous attack
on Temple Israel. Hurt people hurt people. Violence is a cycle.
Ayman Ghazali lost family, including two children.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yes, the terrorist lost family. His brother, the terrorist in
Lebanon with Hezbollah. It's all equivocating. You can understand the
terror attack here because of what happened over there. He
also said something, if you recall, last week sometime some
audio came out with Al-Sayed saying how we need to
(10:54):
understand how the people feel over there. We need to,
you know, you can understand this. It's all about sympathizing
with terrorists and terrorist supporters. I want to play this
to Debbie Dingle, longtime congresswoman from Michigan, taking over for
her husband, her late husband years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Here she is on Hassan Piker.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Why do you think El-Sayed has declined to disavow him?
Speaker 12 (11:20):
I've had very blunt conversations.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
As you all know, I'm a blunt soul.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You're correct.
Speaker 12 (11:26):
And I don't understand Sunpiker.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm going to be that.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Honest with you.
Speaker 13 (11:29):
Many people don't even know who he is.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Well, I didn't.
Speaker 12 (11:31):
Until he created this crisis when he came into Michigan
months ago. And I stood between some of your colleagues
at the back of the room and said, I don't
get it. Why does he have so many followers? I
believe Israel's got a right to exist. I think that's
put kerosene on the fire. And what he has said
about women and rape is, OK, you know, that's an
(11:52):
issue that makes me go sky high. But Republicans are
trying to use that. And I want to talk about
health care.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Well, she said she was done talking about him.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
She doesn't want anybody asking about him.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And then she's talking about him again. Well, it's because
Abdulrahman Mohammed Al-Sayed brought him in and campaigned with him
and took pictures and pictures and spent the evening on
the primary night with Al-Sayed at a pool party. Excuse me,
with Piker, Hassan Piker, at a pool party that night.
(12:27):
Hassan Piker said America deserves 9-11. Hezbollah, the brave Mujahideen.
October 7th, Hamas terror attack. It was a direct consequence
of Israeli actions. Adding of the terror group engaged in rape,
it doesn't change the dynamic. Now, I want to play
this for you, too, because El-Sayed was asked about Hassan
(12:48):
Piker and bringing him to Michigan. Why did you do
it over and over again this weekend at the Democrat
convention in Lansing, Michigan?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
I am not interested in a conversation about a social
media person in California. And for folks who want to
make this race about social media person in California, let's
not forget what actually matters in.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Our politics, what our politics really are about.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
I don't ever want my comments to hurt anybody's feelings.
It's important to me that people understand.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
That I take seriously the pain of all communities in
this state.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
But I don't want to have a conversation about a
Twitch streamer in California.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
This is not a serious conversation. Why did you bring
him to Michigan? All right, we already went to Fox News.
Who are you?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Fox News.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
You can ask Jesse about that.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So the first thing was, why did you bring him
to Michigan then?
Speaker 14 (13:33):
All right, you don't want to have a conversation, but
there are Jewish voters who do want to have a conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And everyone I've talked to, they've been asking me to
ask you whether you will come down.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
I'm happy to have a conversation with my voters. But
if they want to have a conversation with the press,
I was here. We were having a conversation.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
I'm just telling you this is not a campaign that's
about a streamer in California.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
This is about affordability in Michigan.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Anybody who's ever said that they're existentially worried about Donald Trump,
anybody who's ever said that they believe in religious pluralism and.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
The right to pray as you choose to pray, all
that we hold dear is on the line. It's time
for us to unite around taking that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
So what he's saying is, I absolutely embraced and called
in and used Hassan Piker to get the nomination for
the Democrat Party for Senate. But now that I got
the Democrat nomination, now I disown him without saying I
disown him.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Because he actually, I shouldn't even say, he didn't disown him.
He won't disown him.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
He just pretends like he didn't make him a star
of his campaign. So he uses him before to get
the nomination. Now he pretends he doesn't know him at all.
This guy's totally falling apart. But, you know, when you
have to cover up all your anti-Semitism and rot, I
guess it makes you look like a fool.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And there he is.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Coming up next, top five stories of the day and
then sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
All that coming up next. Chris Crockin for Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs that it
pulled back. So are precious metals still a good buy? Well,
major banks think so. In fact, it's already been proven.
So gold is on the rise as we speak. and
they're forecasting even higher prices ahead.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Why?
Speaker 9 (15:16):
We're $ 40 trillion in debt. We have a declining dollar.
Inflation keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way,
gold has always remained a historical hedge for wealth protection.
That's why Morgan Stanley just ditched the 60-40 stock-to-bond portfolio.
They're now recommending 20% in precious metals. They've gotten educated,
and we should too. Text the letters YMS stands for

stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
U.S.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Military struck two Iranian rocket launchers Sunday, marking the first
attack on Middle Eastern country in more than a month.
We're going to hit that in a minute for the
talk back, but let me finish up some, some of
the top five stories today. Death toll from Wednesday's devastating
flash floods in Nepal, along with the border with China
there has risen to 800, 3000 still missing. 85 Americans
(16:49):
remain unaccounted for. 15 people may be missing or unaccounted
for after significant flash flooding occurred in the Grand Canyon,
ripped through the Bright Angel Canyon.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And Phantom Ranch area. Um, Just a horrible thing we're
watching there.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Rolling Stone's glamour selfie cover for Boston Marathon Bomber Zokar Sanayev, 2013. Now,
Hasan Piker they list as number three on its list
of the top 25 most influential content creators and social
media influencers of 2026. Lake Ontario, Premier Doug Ford says
no one is going to call it Lake America right
(17:26):
after Google changed the name. When you look online now
for America, it says Lake America.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And in fact, I.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Have a man who says he caught the first king
salmon on Lake America.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
We actually went out yesterday on Lake Ontario and came
back on Lake America. And I'd like to think I've
caught the first king salmon caught on Lake America.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Remarkable.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Remarkable.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Hi, I'm actress Lisa Varga, and my morning show is
your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Hey gang, it's me, Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC in Nashville. Tupelo's
News and Talk 101.1 and 1060 WKMQ. And how about
Talk 650 KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(18:23):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Enjoy.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
In just a moment, sounds of the day, but first
we have some talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
We have Joey first from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Morning, Chris. Did you say the average age of new
homeowners was 49 or 59? Regardless, who the heck would
want a mortgage well into their retirement ages?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
59, which is unthinkable. It was 31 in 1983, I
think it was. Interestingly, producer Jeff, who also has his
hand in the real estate industry, says that people are
saying the prices are too high and the interest rates
(19:11):
are too high.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Can't have both. Has to be just one.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That's where they're at right now, and I don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
John on WILM.
Speaker 16 (19:18):
I disagree with your assessment that somehow... uh, Trump pounding
Iran and finishing up two and a half months ago
would somehow change these people's deluded minds into voting for
Republicans during the midterms. You have to understand that you
can't say the right thing to the wrong person. If
(19:39):
he had concluded long ago, the oil prices would have
been high and they would have remembered those.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
John, I think you misinterpreted what I was saying.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I did not say that people who don't like what
Trump's doing in Iran or don't like Trump would change
their minds. What I said was that if Trump would
have not stopped attacking Iran and kept attacking two and
a half months ago, this whole thing would be over. Period.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But he stopped.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
He let Iran make billions and billions of dollars for
whatever there was a couple weeks and gave them time
to reconstitute, rearm, etc.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
He never should have let up. We would have been
done by now.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Not talking about people whose minds have been changed, talking
about how literally this whole thing would have been done
like a month ago. Instead, we're dealing with it right now.
We'll be dealing with it possibly all the way up
to and through the midterms. Should have been finished off.
I agree with everything he's done, but he never should
have stopped. That was a big, big error. Sounds of
the day. Let's start out.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Do you have a fancy sounder for that?
Speaker 12 (20:48):
What do you.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Want to do, brother?
Speaker 14 (20:50):
You did it.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
I'm waiting on the consequences.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
The best way to get back on your feet is
to get up off your ass.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I've been living rent-free in that guy's head for years,
and that's just a bummer.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You call that chickening out? They're just blowing off steam. Yeah, baby.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Let's go to Chicago, my hometown. It's always fun in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Oh, wait, Doc.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Chicago, Chicago. Just another lovely weekend in the Windy City
under Brandon Johnson. What else do we have? We have, oh,
(22:05):
Bill Maher.
Speaker 14 (22:08):
Filing new rule, if you're looking to find out why
our government is so dysfunctional and why the sensible middle
never seems to win elections, stop.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 14 (22:17):
And as they say in the world of clickbait, the
answer may surprise you. Because while we've all been obsessing
over the gerontocracy in Washington and how Congress looks a
lot like the 4 p.m.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Dinner hour in Boca Raton.
Speaker 14 (22:35):
We're missing something important.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The people who.
Speaker 14 (22:38):
Actually run the country aren't old. They're probably too young. Yes,
the public face of the government may be an 82-year-old
almost dead person. But the person who's really puppeteering this
lunatocracy of ours, that's this guy, a 26-year-old congressional staffer
(22:59):
with the Twitter handle Tactical Amphibian.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Or something like that.
Speaker 14 (23:05):
Congressional staffers, that's who writes the material. The politicians just
perform it. Did you see the Canadian senator who recently
did this?
Speaker 17 (23:16):
Citizens often develop expectations that exceed the powers actually granted them.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
To those offices.
Speaker 17 (23:22):
Here's a more natural flowing version of that section that
reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of
short points.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
He read out loud the part where the chatbot tells
him how not to sound like a chatbot.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
So funny, isn't it? Abdul Rahman Mohammed El-Sayed.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
The past or the primary.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
My worry is, do you not see.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
The opportunity to come together and the existential threat in
the future?
Speaker 15 (23:54):
It's also emotional for a lot of people and there's
fear tied up in it. And for some Jewish voters,
Democratic voters in Michigan, they're worried that you don't fully
represent them or don't fully see them. You're gonna talk
to on Sunday, the Jewish Democratic Caucus in Michigan for
their summer event. This is what the caucus chair, Deki Alexander,
(24:19):
said she wanted to hear from you. She said there's
a lot of profound and still is anti-Israel and anti-Jewish
rhetoric coming out of that campaign.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It has to be addressed more directly. It has to
be addressed.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Otherwise, people will continue to write more letters.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
What are you going to say to them?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
To be anti-Israel is not the same as to be anti-Jewish.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
And to oppose what Israel has done is not an
indictment on Jewish people. I think we have a responsibility
to stand up and remind folks that Judaism and the
Jewish people are a light unto the world. That my
commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment
to my own daughter's safety. I know what it's like
to be discriminated against for how I pray. But I
do reject the idea that somehow criticizing Israel and Israel's
(25:01):
actions and a genocide that was perpetrated by our tax
dollars is the same as the idea of rejecting anybody for.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Their faith or their identity. We have to be able
to separate the two.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Well, we know that you're not able to do that
by your actions, by your words, by excusing a terrorist
who tried to go in and slaughter 140 Jewish children
at a day school five months later. Now you're apologizing
for saying hurt people hurt people. equivocating terrorism, terrorists being
taken out by Israel with a terrorist in America trying
(25:34):
to kill 140 Jewish children. I don't think so. Dana Bash,
toe-to-toe with Tom Holman.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
On the Haitian illegals, while they're being deported, they're in
the process of being deported and moved slowly but surely
now that the ruling came down from the Supreme Court
saying Trump could deport them.
Speaker 18 (25:55):
I want to give you a chance to respond to
something that John Cornyn said. He said the reason that
you're struggling is because, quote, Paxton's a poor campaigner.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
He's wrong one. Forgive me on that one. Have to
go back to that one a little bit later. Speaking
of which, we'll go to that one. Ken Paxton, is
he lazy?
Speaker 18 (26:14):
I wanna give you a chance to respond to something
that John Cornyn said. He said the reason that you're
struggling is because, quote, Paxton's a poor campaigner. He's lazy
and he doesn't raise money and he's basically not offering
a very compelling case for his election. He's making this
harder than it needs to be, but so be it,
we are where we are. The Houston Chronicle also reported
that you went nearly two months after winning the nomination
(26:35):
before making your first campaign stop. Do you have any
worry that you waited too.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Long to hit the ground?
Speaker 19 (26:45):
No, we started hitting the ground the day after the
runoff was over.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
No one has my schedule.
Speaker 19 (26:49):
I mean, John Cornyn doesn't know my schedule. He doesn't
know how many hours I'm putting in every day, 18
hours a day, driving all over the state, raising money
all over the place, doing my best to connect to
as many voters as possible. They don't know my schedule.
It's completely fabricated. And we've been out working. I'm probably
averaging about 18 hours a day. I mean, I was
in four or five different cities just yesterday, and that's
(27:09):
a pretty common day for me.
Speaker 18 (27:12):
I saw a person close to you also countered a
statement that he made to the Houston Chronicle saying that
you've been launching a full court press for his donors
after he made the allegation that you've done, as he
put it, this is his quote, diddly squat to reach
out to the traditional Republicans who supported him. When you
reach out to the Cornyn donors, what are they telling you?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
What are you hearing?
Speaker 19 (27:35):
So we've definitely reached out to a lot of everybody's different.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We've reached out to many, many coroners.
Speaker 19 (27:40):
We started almost immediately after the runoff. So this idea
that I'm not speaking.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
To coroners is ridiculous.
Speaker 19 (27:46):
I want all Republicans to unite. I even said when
I was in the runoff, I said, if I'm if
if John Cornyn is elected, I will support him.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I will be.
Speaker 19 (27:55):
Out campaigning for him because we cannot have a radical
leftist socialist be a senator for texas so i've always
been behind that and and the reality is we are
attracting corn and donors and corn supporters because i think
they realize what if we lose this race we're going
to lose the u.s senate and we're going to lose
texas so we have to win this race and we
are going.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
To win john cornyn lost by 29 points because we
and i say we because i live in the state
of texas and i voted for kemp axton for u.s
senate he lost because we knew who he was all
along 16 years ago when i came to dallas fort
worth i was told by my first producer that john
cornyn's a joke i said why he says because when
we're all debating a flashpoint issue he's silent two weeks
(28:39):
later after we're done and we've moved on he comes
out licks his finger sticks it up in the wind
and then takes a quote strong position quote when we've
already moved on from two weeks earlier John Cornyn never
was a Trump supporter, pretended to be one, lied to
us up to the point where he lost the election.
John Cornyn said that Trump could not win again in
2024 and shouldn't run.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
John Cornyn is exposing who he's always been. But the
most really, really, really, I.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Don't want to say unforgivable, but I'll say it for
sake of ease, unforgivable thing John Cornyn has ever done
is always pretended, and then once he loses, he shows
who he really was.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
He was fake all along.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
This is why we flushed him down the drain, 29%
point loss, period. And he, Tallarico will not win. He
will lose by a wider margin than Beto Hussein O'Rourke,
the fake Mexican cultural appropriator.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Beto was a much better candidate than Tallarico.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Speaking of sounds of the day in Tallarico, let's go
to him lying about an illegal boy, five-year-old legal boy
whose dad is illegal and is being deported, and dad says, yes,
I want to bring my son with me to Mexico
in my deportation.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
ICE kidnapped Liam Taddeo and his father. This government has
thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles away
from home. We cannot forget about Liam or the other
kids that are detained at Dilley. Every kidnapped child is
our child.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
What James Tallarico is saying is that he wants to
separate Liam from his dad. His dad was cuffed and
stuffed for deportation. Dad says he wants to bring Liam
with him. Tallarica says, no, I want to separate dad
from his son. Let dad go to Mexico and let
his son stay here.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
What else do we have?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Oh, let's go to, oh, that's one of the different
sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Here we go. Another Bill Maher. Trump is so mad
at Canada.
Speaker 14 (30:55):
He renamed Lake Ontario, Lake America. Now I got to
buy a new globe again. It's like the fifth time
it's happened. And liberals are very pissed at this. They
say you can't just go around renaming things to suit
(31:17):
your political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
You got to love it. Absolutely have to love that. Oh,
can I squeeze in one more with Rahm Emanuel or no?
Speaker 5 (31:33):
One more.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
All right, one more.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Here we go.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Emanuel's.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
They say the energy is not with the people of
the past.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's moving forward with socialism. Your response?
Speaker 20 (31:44):
Look, here's the thing. I don't consider Democratic Socialist part
of the Democratic Party. About four weeks ago, they had
a convention in Chicago, separate party. They believe in defunding
the police, letting prisoners out of prisons, opening the borders,
eliminating the Pentagon. If you're so confident people want that,
I'll see you in November.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Put it on the ballot. Let's go.
Speaker 20 (32:05):
Run as a separate party. The Democratic Party is not
open to be taken over. Now, you have a progressive
wing and a pragmatic wing. Now, we agree that the
system is rigged against working class, middle class families.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Agree with that.
Speaker 20 (32:18):
How we fix that problem to make sure that the
American dream of owning a home, saving for your retirement,
saving for your kids' education, and that your health care
is not a nightmare, but a peace of mind.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
How we get that? Well, we're going to have a good,
solid debate about that.
Speaker 20 (32:32):
And I'm for that debate. I give the progressives some credit.
They have been out there with ideas. Some I agree,
some I disagree with. But the pragmatic wing, which is
one of the reasons I've been talking about education, banning
anybody from public office and all three branches of government
at the age of 75, you are done.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Banning social media.
Speaker 20 (32:52):
For kids under 16, what you have to do to
invest in our energy infrastructure to make sure we're a
21st century economy with a 21st century infrastructure. We owe
a good, solid intellectual debate.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Well, I wouldn't vote for Rahm Emanuel. He's a much
more common sense type of Democrat. But unfortunately, I don't
think he's going to be able to win the primary
in his party. Hey, up next, all over the U.S.,
there's growing outrage over the construction of new data centers.
But as national correspondent Rory O'Neill explains, that outrage is
being secretly fueled by.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
The Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
National correspondent Rory O'Neill will have the latest. Listen live
at WLAC.com or on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Comes to supplements only two things matter do they work
and can you trust it you can trust relief factor
worked for me and thousands of others rebecca felt so
much better with relief factor she thought she didn't need
it anymore so guess what she did she stopped taking
it and when the aches returned after stopped taking it
she realized just how much it had been helping now
(33:54):
she takes it every day and proudly calls herself a
walking advertisement for relief factor we see this time and
time again people put it off put it off Then
they eventually remember Glenn Beck or somebody talking about it.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
They try it.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It works.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Then, like we always do once it works, we stop
taking it and start hurting again and realize, boy, it
really does work. Everybody develops their relief factor story.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
You will, too. And I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-THE-NUMBER-4-RELIEF and begin your relief
factor story. Now, America turned 250, so we have patriotic
pricing of $ 17. 76, which is really a huge savings. $ 17. 76
for your three-week quick start supply of Relief Factor.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
ReliefFactor.com, 1-800-4-RELIEF. It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. Chris
Kroc in for Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Hey, to join that conversation, hit that talkback button on
the iHeartStream. The microphone icon, click it and go to town. Well,
we have our national correspondent, Rory O'Neill, joining us on
an unbelievable thing. Actually, if you're like me, you actually
understand and believe it is true. The data center outrage,
Chinese plot. Rory, how much influence are the Chinese Communist
(35:16):
Party and their underlings exerting on us with AI data centers?
Speaker 13 (35:24):
Yeah, it's tough to measure, but the safety team over
at X, formerly Twitter, they put out a statement last
week saying that they found this Chinese bot farm. About
200,000 X accounts spewing out stuff all the time. But
about 200 of those accounts were specifically putting out information.
(35:44):
Not necessarily wrong or misleading, or maybe misleading is the
way to describe it, but information that would try to
get more Americans to oppose AI data centers. So the
allegation being, here's China ginning up opposition to data centers
in the U.S. in order to help China win the
race in AI. At least that's what's being suggested by
(36:07):
the folks over at XSafety.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Now, I've also heard that if China wins the data race,
the data summit race, then they win the ability to
control the information.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Well, right now.
Speaker 13 (36:22):
Yeah, it's difficult to figure out these days, right? Because
China can often be cut out from some of these deals.
But at the same time, we're debating what's the electric usage?
How much water are you going to use? Do you
think China and the Chinese government really cares about the
people's opinion across China and what the government thinks? So
(36:43):
they're going to put these things where they want them.
And that's also one of the big differences. And I'd
also note that this Note this allegation of 200 accounts
trying to undermine American confidence in data centers comes from X,
a company that wants to build.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
More data centers.
Speaker 13 (37:01):
So I think you have to take a grain of
salt with both the allegations here.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
The Hill reporting through an editorial column, the OpenAI disrupted
a Chinese-linked influence operation using chat GPT to generate fabricated
social media posts opposing American AI data centers.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
So it's not just X, according to these reports. Well, right.
Speaker 13 (37:23):
I think the Hill article specifically links to the posting
by X Safety, which showed examples of some of this
propaganda out there.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Rory O'Neill, thank you very much. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 13 (37:36):
Talk to you then, Chris.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Thanks. Yes, sir. Thank you. There he goes. I will
see you tomorrow. Chris Crockett for Michael DelGiorno. We're all
in this together. This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Hi, I'm Michael DelGiorno and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening 5 to 8 a.m. Central
and 6 to 9 Eastern on great stations like 620
WJDX in Jackson, Mississippi or Akron's News Talk 640 WHLO
in Akron, Ohio and News Radio 570 WDAK in Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
(00:20):
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
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 DelGiorno. It is
your morning show.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Chris Kroc in for Michael DelGiorno. We are on the
air and streaming live on the iHeart app. From Sacramento
to Dallas and Tampa and D.C. with Cleve Akron or Akron.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That was Akron.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And Memphis in between, I declare it Akron. Well, we
got some talkbacks. Let's hit those first. Let's hear from KMYI, Blake.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You talk about housing and a 59-year-old now is the
starting age to buy a home. How many homes are
going to be bought when we're under communism in this country?
We're all going to be stacked up in ten-minute housing
like they have in China. Have a great day, Chris.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You are right, sir. You are very correct.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It's just shocking to see how many people are ignorant
and support socialism openly now. It's mind-numbing and it's very scary.
Let's go to KTLK.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Could it be that China's hiring.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
people to protest data centers?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Could it be that China is hiring people to protest
at data centers? I don't know, but we do know
that X said that about 200 bots, it appears from
possibly China, have been found in the X sphere. Let
me get my information correct to make sure I don't
have any of this off. China secretly fueling America's data
(02:14):
center rage from Axios. 200,000 accounts, excuse me, Chinese accounts. 200,000,
including 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate
a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy. It's
because they want us to be against data centers. Also, Russia, China,
(02:36):
and Iran also caught.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Infiltrating. This is from The Hill.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
OpenAI disrupted the Chinese-linked influence operation that used ChatGPT to
generate fabricated social media posts opposing American AI data centers.
The campaign was dubbed Data Center Bandwagon, created fake American
personas arguing that data centers would dramatically increase electricity bills
and harm local communities. OpenAI traced the activity to a
(03:06):
private Chinese technology company working for provincial government clients. Rather
than promoting the overtly... pro-beijing narratives the operators sought to
insert themselves into an already contentious american policy debate instead
of inventing new grievances they amplified existing ones by creating
fake local accounts designed to appear authentic you are i
don't want to be nasty to your mean but you
(03:28):
are being programmed by the chinese iranians and russians to
be against ai and data centers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
A raging, raging.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Leftist, hardcore leftist liberal down the street has a say
no to AI data centers. To me, what a sign
could also say is say yes to China and them
managing your data. That's what's on the line. In my
humble opinion, you can chime in on that too, please.
(03:59):
It's your morning show. Chime in by hitting that talkback
button on your iHeart app and go to town. We
have one more talkback from WKBN, don't we, Producer Joe?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Doesn't it make sense that if you're not taking oil
off the market to put in the strategic reserves, then
gas prices will go down?
Speaker 7 (04:17):
If you're using that.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Oil to fill the strategic reserves, then you're not taking
the oil off the market.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Talking about the huge deal.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
To refill the strategic petroleum reserve with that Venezuela deal
that's coming down the road. Could take 10 years, though.
I mean, I can't... I mean, obviously, if you're taking
a demand off the market, you're going to lower the prices. But.
The SPR is, I mean, you know, producer Red, you
(04:50):
were nodding your head yes on that too.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But, I mean, think of it.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
If you fill the SPR, it doesn't affect supply and demand,
does it? I mean, maybe it does somehow. But what
he said sounds to make sense to me. But when
you think of it, though, it's not going into the market.
You know, it's newly tapped oil that hopefully will pay off.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But this will take several years for it to go through.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I wanted to hit, most importantly, over the weekend, you've
got Abdul Rahman Mohammed El-Sayed. And by the way, producer
Jeff says, why do you and Michael, why do people
always pronounce Hispanic names with the Spanish, Hispanic accent and
the Muslim accent?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Every time that you do a foreign name.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Whether it be Spanish.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
They always go to the Arabic pronunciations. Por favor. Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Abdul Rahman Mohamed El-Sayed. It's pretty good. Is it pretty good?
You did good.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Producer Red says it's more national security, not your wallet.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's exactly what I thought, too. And I think, too. Okay, so,
Abdul Rahman Mohamed El-Sayed.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Fake apology over the weekend at the Michigan Democrat, what
do you call it, midterm conference. DNC, well not DNC,
but the Michigan Democrat Party, their annual convention in Lansing.
Abdul Syed saying that if you're offended, he's sorry if
(06:31):
you're offended, but he actually doesn't even apologize.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
My comments might have been misconstrued to be justifying something
I did not intend to justify, right? To anybody who
feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I'm really sorry.
That was not my intention. We condemned that terrorist attack.
We condemned it outright.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I am. If you are offended, if you are offended,
you have you may have misconstrued.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I didn't do anything wrong. You may have misconstrued.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Sorry if you're someone who misconstrued my comments to anyone
who feels like my comments may have been hurtful.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm really sorry. It's a Hillary Clinton non apology. What
did he say? If you recall, here's what he said.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
When it comes to Temple Israel, I was profoundly shaken.
Many of my friends growing up worshiped the Temple Israel.
Nothing justifies the heinous attack that we saw on Temple Israel.
And I stand in solidarity with my Jewish sisters and
brothers for an America where that.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Kind of thing never happens again.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
I also think it's just critical for us to understand
that hurt people do hurt people. And the circumstances happening
6,000 miles away can affect the lives that we live here.
And if we stand against violence, we've got to stand
against violence, all violence.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
What he's saying is he understands why a Lebanese American
terrorist drove a van crashing through the entrance of a
synagogue where 140 little Jewish children were learning. He understands
why he would crash in there with fireworks and gasoline
and a rifle and try to slaughter 100 Jewish children.
(08:07):
He understands because after all, this terrorist... His brother, a
Hezbollah terrorist in Lebanon, had just been killed by Israel, righteously,
killing the terrorists who are attacking them. And he understands
why this Lebanese-American man would all of a sudden try
to murder 140 Jewish people, children.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Because he's hurt. Why is he hurt?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Because his terrorist brother with Hezbollah was blown up by Israel.
Hurting people hurt people. That's what he says. So what
he's really saying is we need to really reevaluate killing
terrorists and attacking terrorists as they're trying to kill us.
He understands. So he didn't apologize. He is, in my opinion,
(08:58):
my estimation, an anti-Semite, a Jew-hater. And he can't dance
around it. It's a fake apology. I don't accept this apology,
and I don't think you should either. The anti-Semitism, the
Jew hatred is so rife in Michigan that the Jewish
Attorney General for the state of Michigan, Dana Nessel, did
(09:20):
not go to the Democratic Convention this weekend because she
fears for her safety.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
The threats that I received are almost exclusively anti-Semitic threats.
I'm not going to be attending the nominating convention for
the Michigan Democratic Party in August. And that is because
I don't feel safe going.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Radical Islam and far-left Marxist socialists and their Jew hatred,
it's working. They're intimidating the top cop in the state
of Michigan from going to the annual Democratic convention. Here's
some of the anti-Semitism also from the left.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
The Israeli government commits genocide.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Any state that privileges one religion over the other is
one that I can't tell you I support, whether it
be Israel.
Speaker 11 (10:13):
You're running around basically tying your entire identity to Jewish ISIS.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And you're saying, as Jews, this is all we care about.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Our state was rocked by news of a heinous attack
on Temple Israel. Hurt people hurt people. Violence is a cycle.
Ayman Ghazali lost family, including two children.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yes, the terrorist lost family. His brother, the terrorist in
Lebanon with Hezbollah. It's all equivocating. You can understand the
terror attack here because of what happened over there. He
also said something, if you recall, last week sometime some
audio came out with Al-Sayed saying how we need to
(10:54):
understand how the people feel over there. We need to,
you know, you can understand this. It's all about sympathizing
with terrorists and terrorist supporters. I want to play this
to Debbie Dingle, longtime congresswoman from Michigan, taking over for
her husband, her late husband years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Here she is on Hassan Piker.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Why do you think El-Sayed has declined to disavow him?
Speaker 12 (11:20):
I've had very blunt conversations.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
As you all know, I'm a blunt soul.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You're correct.
Speaker 12 (11:26):
And I don't understand Sunpiker.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm going to be that.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Honest with you.
Speaker 13 (11:29):
Many people don't even know who he is.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Well, I didn't.
Speaker 12 (11:31):
Until he created this crisis when he came into Michigan
months ago. And I stood between some of your colleagues
at the back of the room and said, I don't
get it. Why does he have so many followers? I
believe Israel's got a right to exist. I think that's
put kerosene on the fire. And what he has said
about women and rape is, OK, you know, that's an
(11:52):
issue that makes me go sky high. But Republicans are
trying to use that. And I want to talk about
health care.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Well, she said she was done talking about him.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
She doesn't want anybody asking about him.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And then she's talking about him again. Well, it's because
Abdulrahman Mohammed Al-Sayed brought him in and campaigned with him
and took pictures and pictures and spent the evening on
the primary night with Al-Sayed at a pool party. Excuse me,
with Piker, Hassan Piker, at a pool party that night.
(12:27):
Hassan Piker said America deserves 9-11. Hezbollah, the brave Mujahideen.
October 7th, Hamas terror attack. It was a direct consequence
of Israeli actions. Adding of the terror group engaged in rape,
it doesn't change the dynamic. Now, I want to play
this for you, too, because El-Sayed was asked about Hassan
(12:48):
Piker and bringing him to Michigan. Why did you do
it over and over again this weekend at the Democrat
convention in Lansing, Michigan?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
I am not interested in a conversation about a social
media person in California. And for folks who want to
make this race about social media person in California, let's
not forget what actually matters in.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Our politics, what our politics really are about.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
I don't ever want my comments to hurt anybody's feelings.
It's important to me that people understand.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
That I take seriously the pain of all communities in
this state.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
But I don't want to have a conversation about a
Twitch streamer in California.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
This is not a serious conversation. Why did you bring
him to Michigan? All right, we already went to Fox News.
Who are you?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Fox News.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
You can ask Jesse about that.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So the first thing was, why did you bring him
to Michigan then?
Speaker 14 (13:33):
All right, you don't want to have a conversation, but
there are Jewish voters who do want to have a conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And everyone I've talked to, they've been asking me to
ask you whether you will come down.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
I'm happy to have a conversation with my voters. But
if they want to have a conversation with the press,
I was here. We were having a conversation.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
I'm just telling you this is not a campaign that's
about a streamer in California.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
This is about affordability in Michigan.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Anybody who's ever said that they're existentially worried about Donald Trump,
anybody who's ever said that they believe in religious pluralism and.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
The right to pray as you choose to pray, all
that we hold dear is on the line. It's time
for us to unite around taking that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
So what he's saying is, I absolutely embraced and called
in and used Hassan Piker to get the nomination for
the Democrat Party for Senate. But now that I got
the Democrat nomination, now I disown him without saying I
disown him.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Because he actually, I shouldn't even say, he didn't disown him.
He won't disown him.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
He just pretends like he didn't make him a star
of his campaign. So he uses him before to get
the nomination. Now he pretends he doesn't know him at all.
This guy's totally falling apart. But, you know, when you
have to cover up all your anti-Semitism and rot, I
guess it makes you look like a fool.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And there he is.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Coming up next, top five stories of the day and
then sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
All that coming up next. Chris Crockin for Michael DelGiorno.

This is your morning show.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs that it
pulled back. So are precious metals still a good buy? Well,
major banks think so. In fact, it's already been proven.
So gold is on the rise as we speak. and
they're forecasting even higher prices ahead.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Why?
Speaker 9 (15:16):
We're $ 40 trillion in debt. We have a declining dollar.
Inflation keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way,
gold has always remained a historical hedge for wealth protection.
That's why Morgan Stanley just ditched the 60-40 stock-to-bond portfolio.
They're now recommending 20% in precious metals. They've gotten educated,
and we should too. Text the letters YMS stands for

stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
U.S.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Military struck two Iranian rocket launchers Sunday, marking the first
attack on Middle Eastern country in more than a month.
We're going to hit that in a minute for the
talk back, but let me finish up some, some of
the top five stories today. Death toll from Wednesday's devastating
flash floods in Nepal, along with the border with China
there has risen to 800, 3000 still missing. 85 Americans
(16:49):
remain unaccounted for. 15 people may be missing or unaccounted
for after significant flash flooding occurred in the Grand Canyon,
ripped through the Bright Angel Canyon.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And Phantom Ranch area. Um, Just a horrible thing we're
watching there.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Rolling Stone's glamour selfie cover for Boston Marathon Bomber Zokar Sanayev, 2013. Now,
Hasan Piker they list as number three on its list
of the top 25 most influential content creators and social
media influencers of 2026. Lake Ontario, Premier Doug Ford says
no one is going to call it Lake America right
(17:26):
after Google changed the name. When you look online now
for America, it says Lake America.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And in fact, I.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Have a man who says he caught the first king
salmon on Lake America.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
We actually went out yesterday on Lake Ontario and came
back on Lake America. And I'd like to think I've
caught the first king salmon caught on Lake America.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Remarkable.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Remarkable.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Hi, I'm actress Lisa Varga, and my morning show is
your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Hey gang, it's me, Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC in Nashville. Tupelo's
News and Talk 101.1 and 1060 WKMQ. And how about
Talk 650 KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(18:23):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Enjoy.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
In just a moment, sounds of the day, but first
we have some talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
We have Joey first from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Morning, Chris. Did you say the average age of new
homeowners was 49 or 59? Regardless, who the heck would
want a mortgage well into their retirement ages?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
59, which is unthinkable. It was 31 in 1983, I
think it was. Interestingly, producer Jeff, who also has his
hand in the real estate industry, says that people are
saying the prices are too high and the interest rates
(19:11):
are too high.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Can't have both. Has to be just one.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That's where they're at right now, and I don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
John on WILM.
Speaker 16 (19:18):
I disagree with your assessment that somehow... uh, Trump pounding
Iran and finishing up two and a half months ago
would somehow change these people's deluded minds into voting for
Republicans during the midterms. You have to understand that you
can't say the right thing to the wrong person. If
(19:39):
he had concluded long ago, the oil prices would have
been high and they would have remembered those.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
John, I think you misinterpreted what I was saying.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I did not say that people who don't like what
Trump's doing in Iran or don't like Trump would change
their minds. What I said was that if Trump would
have not stopped attacking Iran and kept attacking two and
a half months ago, this whole thing would be over. Period.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But he stopped.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
He let Iran make billions and billions of dollars for
whatever there was a couple weeks and gave them time
to reconstitute, rearm, etc.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
He never should have let up. We would have been
done by now.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Not talking about people whose minds have been changed, talking
about how literally this whole thing would have been done
like a month ago. Instead, we're dealing with it right now.
We'll be dealing with it possibly all the way up
to and through the midterms. Should have been finished off.
I agree with everything he's done, but he never should
have stopped. That was a big, big error. Sounds of
the day. Let's start out.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Do you have a fancy sounder for that?
Speaker 12 (20:48):
What do you.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Want to do, brother?
Speaker 14 (20:50):
You did it.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
I'm waiting on the consequences.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
The best way to get back on your feet is
to get up off your ass.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I've been living rent-free in that guy's head for years,
and that's just a bummer.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You call that chickening out? They're just blowing off steam. Yeah, baby.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Let's go to Chicago, my hometown. It's always fun in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Oh, wait, Doc.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Chicago, Chicago. Just another lovely weekend in the Windy City
under Brandon Johnson. What else do we have? We have, oh,
(22:05):
Bill Maher.
Speaker 14 (22:08):
Filing new rule, if you're looking to find out why
our government is so dysfunctional and why the sensible middle
never seems to win elections, stop.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 14 (22:17):
And as they say in the world of clickbait, the
answer may surprise you. Because while we've all been obsessing
over the gerontocracy in Washington and how Congress looks a
lot like the 4 p.m.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Dinner hour in Boca Raton.
Speaker 14 (22:35):
We're missing something important.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The people who.
Speaker 14 (22:38):
Actually run the country aren't old. They're probably too young. Yes,
the public face of the government may be an 82-year-old
almost dead person. But the person who's really puppeteering this
lunatocracy of ours, that's this guy, a 26-year-old congressional staffer
(22:59):
with the Twitter handle Tactical Amphibian.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Or something like that.
Speaker 14 (23:05):
Congressional staffers, that's who writes the material. The politicians just
perform it. Did you see the Canadian senator who recently
did this?
Speaker 17 (23:16):
Citizens often develop expectations that exceed the powers actually granted them.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
To those offices.
Speaker 17 (23:22):
Here's a more natural flowing version of that section that
reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of
short points.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
He read out loud the part where the chatbot tells
him how not to sound like a chatbot.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
So funny, isn't it? Abdul Rahman Mohammed El-Sayed.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
The past or the primary.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
My worry is, do you not see.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
The opportunity to come together and the existential threat in
the future?
Speaker 15 (23:54):
It's also emotional for a lot of people and there's
fear tied up in it. And for some Jewish voters,
Democratic voters in Michigan, they're worried that you don't fully
represent them or don't fully see them. You're gonna talk
to on Sunday, the Jewish Democratic Caucus in Michigan for
their summer event. This is what the caucus chair, Deki Alexander,
(24:19):
said she wanted to hear from you. She said there's
a lot of profound and still is anti-Israel and anti-Jewish
rhetoric coming out of that campaign.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It has to be addressed more directly. It has to
be addressed.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Otherwise, people will continue to write more letters.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
What are you going to say to them?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
To be anti-Israel is not the same as to be anti-Jewish.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
And to oppose what Israel has done is not an
indictment on Jewish people. I think we have a responsibility
to stand up and remind folks that Judaism and the
Jewish people are a light unto the world. That my
commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment
to my own daughter's safety. I know what it's like
to be discriminated against for how I pray. But I
do reject the idea that somehow criticizing Israel and Israel's
(25:01):
actions and a genocide that was perpetrated by our tax
dollars is the same as the idea of rejecting anybody for.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Their faith or their identity. We have to be able
to separate the two.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Well, we know that you're not able to do that
by your actions, by your words, by excusing a terrorist
who tried to go in and slaughter 140 Jewish children
at a day school five months later. Now you're apologizing
for saying hurt people hurt people. equivocating terrorism, terrorists being
taken out by Israel with a terrorist in America trying
(25:34):
to kill 140 Jewish children. I don't think so. Dana Bash,
toe-to-toe with Tom Holman.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
On the Haitian illegals, while they're being deported, they're in
the process of being deported and moved slowly but surely
now that the ruling came down from the Supreme Court
saying Trump could deport them.
Speaker 18 (25:55):
I want to give you a chance to respond to
something that John Cornyn said. He said the reason that
you're struggling is because, quote, Paxton's a poor campaigner.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
He's wrong one. Forgive me on that one. Have to
go back to that one a little bit later. Speaking
of which, we'll go to that one. Ken Paxton, is
he lazy?
Speaker 18 (26:14):
I wanna give you a chance to respond to something
that John Cornyn said. He said the reason that you're
struggling is because, quote, Paxton's a poor campaigner. He's lazy
and he doesn't raise money and he's basically not offering
a very compelling case for his election. He's making this
harder than it needs to be, but so be it,
we are where we are. The Houston Chronicle also reported
that you went nearly two months after winning the nomination
(26:35):
before making your first campaign stop. Do you have any
worry that you waited too.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Long to hit the ground?
Speaker 19 (26:45):
No, we started hitting the ground the day after the
runoff was over.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
No one has my schedule.
Speaker 19 (26:49):
I mean, John Cornyn doesn't know my schedule. He doesn't
know how many hours I'm putting in every day, 18
hours a day, driving all over the state, raising money
all over the place, doing my best to connect to
as many voters as possible. They don't know my schedule.
It's completely fabricated. And we've been out working. I'm probably
averaging about 18 hours a day. I mean, I was
in four or five different cities just yesterday, and that's
(27:09):
a pretty common day for me.
Speaker 18 (27:12):
I saw a person close to you also countered a
statement that he made to the Houston Chronicle saying that
you've been launching a full court press for his donors
after he made the allegation that you've done, as he
put it, this is his quote, diddly squat to reach
out to the traditional Republicans who supported him. When you
reach out to the Cornyn donors, what are they telling you?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
What are you hearing?
Speaker 19 (27:35):
So we've definitely reached out to a lot of everybody's different.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We've reached out to many, many coroners.
Speaker 19 (27:40):
We started almost immediately after the runoff. So this idea
that I'm not speaking.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
To coroners is ridiculous.
Speaker 19 (27:46):
I want all Republicans to unite. I even said when
I was in the runoff, I said, if I'm if
if John Cornyn is elected, I will support him.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I will be.
Speaker 19 (27:55):
Out campaigning for him because we cannot have a radical
leftist socialist be a senator for texas so i've always
been behind that and and the reality is we are
attracting corn and donors and corn supporters because i think
they realize what if we lose this race we're going
to lose the u.s senate and we're going to lose
texas so we have to win this race and we
are going.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
To win john cornyn lost by 29 points because we
and i say we because i live in the state
of texas and i voted for kemp axton for u.s
senate he lost because we knew who he was all
along 16 years ago when i came to dallas fort
worth i was told by my first producer that john
cornyn's a joke i said why he says because when
we're all debating a flashpoint issue he's silent two weeks
(28:39):
later after we're done and we've moved on he comes
out licks his finger sticks it up in the wind
and then takes a quote strong position quote when we've
already moved on from two weeks earlier John Cornyn never
was a Trump supporter, pretended to be one, lied to
us up to the point where he lost the election.
John Cornyn said that Trump could not win again in
2024 and shouldn't run.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
John Cornyn is exposing who he's always been. But the
most really, really, really, I.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Don't want to say unforgivable, but I'll say it for
sake of ease, unforgivable thing John Cornyn has ever done
is always pretended, and then once he loses, he shows
who he really was.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
He was fake all along.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
This is why we flushed him down the drain, 29%
point loss, period. And he, Tallarico will not win. He
will lose by a wider margin than Beto Hussein O'Rourke,
the fake Mexican cultural appropriator.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Beto was a much better candidate than Tallarico.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Speaking of sounds of the day in Tallarico, let's go
to him lying about an illegal boy, five-year-old legal boy
whose dad is illegal and is being deported, and dad says, yes,
I want to bring my son with me to Mexico
in my deportation.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
ICE kidnapped Liam Taddeo and his father. This government has
thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles away
from home. We cannot forget about Liam or the other
kids that are detained at Dilley. Every kidnapped child is
our child.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
What James Tallarico is saying is that he wants to
separate Liam from his dad. His dad was cuffed and
stuffed for deportation. Dad says he wants to bring Liam
with him. Tallarica says, no, I want to separate dad
from his son. Let dad go to Mexico and let
his son stay here.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
What else do we have?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Oh, let's go to, oh, that's one of the different
sounds of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Here we go. Another Bill Maher. Trump is so mad
at Canada.
Speaker 14 (30:55):
He renamed Lake Ontario, Lake America. Now I got to
buy a new globe again. It's like the fifth time
it's happened. And liberals are very pissed at this. They
say you can't just go around renaming things to suit
(31:17):
your political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
You got to love it. Absolutely have to love that. Oh,
can I squeeze in one more with Rahm Emanuel or no?
Speaker 5 (31:33):
One more.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
All right, one more.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Here we go.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Emanuel's.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
They say the energy is not with the people of
the past.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's moving forward with socialism. Your response?
Speaker 20 (31:44):
Look, here's the thing. I don't consider Democratic Socialist part
of the Democratic Party. About four weeks ago, they had
a convention in Chicago, separate party. They believe in defunding
the police, letting prisoners out of prisons, opening the borders,
eliminating the Pentagon. If you're so confident people want that,
I'll see you in November.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Put it on the ballot. Let's go.
Speaker 20 (32:05):
Run as a separate party. The Democratic Party is not
open to be taken over. Now, you have a progressive
wing and a pragmatic wing. Now, we agree that the
system is rigged against working class, middle class families.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Agree with that.
Speaker 20 (32:18):
How we fix that problem to make sure that the
American dream of owning a home, saving for your retirement,
saving for your kids' education, and that your health care
is not a nightmare, but a peace of mind.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
How we get that? Well, we're going to have a good,
solid debate about that.
Speaker 20 (32:32):
And I'm for that debate. I give the progressives some credit.
They have been out there with ideas. Some I agree,
some I disagree with. But the pragmatic wing, which is
one of the reasons I've been talking about education, banning
anybody from public office and all three branches of government
at the age of 75, you are done.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Banning social media.
Speaker 20 (32:52):
For kids under 16, what you have to do to
invest in our energy infrastructure to make sure we're a
21st century economy with a 21st century infrastructure. We owe
a good, solid intellectual debate.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Well, I wouldn't vote for Rahm Emanuel. He's a much
more common sense type of Democrat. But unfortunately, I don't
think he's going to be able to win the primary
in his party. Hey, up next, all over the U.S.,
there's growing outrage over the construction of new data centers.
But as national correspondent Rory O'Neill explains, that outrage is
being secretly fueled by.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
The Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
National correspondent Rory O'Neill will have the latest. Listen live
at WLAC.com or on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Comes to supplements only two things matter do they work
and can you trust it you can trust relief factor
worked for me and thousands of others rebecca felt so
much better with relief factor she thought she didn't need
it anymore so guess what she did she stopped taking
it and when the aches returned after stopped taking it
she realized just how much it had been helping now
(33:54):
she takes it every day and proudly calls herself a
walking advertisement for relief factor we see this time and
time again people put it off put it off Then
they eventually remember Glenn Beck or somebody talking about it.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
They try it.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It works.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Then, like we always do once it works, we stop
taking it and start hurting again and realize, boy, it
really does work. Everybody develops their relief factor story.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
You will, too. And I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-THE-NUMBER-4-RELIEF and begin your relief
factor story. Now, America turned 250, so we have patriotic
pricing of $ 17. 76, which is really a huge savings. $ 17. 76
for your three-week quick start supply of Relief Factor.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
ReliefFactor.com, 1-800-4-RELIEF. It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. Chris
Kroc in for Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Hey, to join that conversation, hit that talkback button on
the iHeartStream. The microphone icon, click it and go to town. Well,
we have our national correspondent, Rory O'Neill, joining us on
an unbelievable thing. Actually, if you're like me, you actually
understand and believe it is true. The data center outrage,
Chinese plot. Rory, how much influence are the Chinese Communist
(35:16):
Party and their underlings exerting on us with AI data centers?
Speaker 13 (35:24):
Yeah, it's tough to measure, but the safety team over
at X, formerly Twitter, they put out a statement last
week saying that they found this Chinese bot farm. About
200,000 X accounts spewing out stuff all the time. But
about 200 of those accounts were specifically putting out information.
(35:44):
Not necessarily wrong or misleading, or maybe misleading is the
way to describe it, but information that would try to
get more Americans to oppose AI data centers. So the
allegation being, here's China ginning up opposition to data centers
in the U.S. in order to help China win the
race in AI. At least that's what's being suggested by
(36:07):
the folks over at XSafety.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Now, I've also heard that if China wins the data race,
the data summit race, then they win the ability to
control the information.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Is that accurate?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Well, right now.
Speaker 13 (36:22):
Yeah, it's difficult to figure out these days, right? Because
China can often be cut out from some of these deals.
But at the same time, we're debating what's the electric usage?
How much water are you going to use? Do you
think China and the Chinese government really cares about the
people's opinion across China and what the government thinks? So
(36:43):
they're going to put these things where they want them.
And that's also one of the big differences. And I'd
also note that this Note this allegation of 200 accounts
trying to undermine American confidence in data centers comes from X,
a company that wants to build.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
More data centers.
Speaker 13 (37:01):
So I think you have to take a grain of
salt with both the allegations here.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
The Hill reporting through an editorial column, the OpenAI disrupted
a Chinese-linked influence operation using chat GPT to generate fabricated
social media posts opposing American AI data centers.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
So it's not just X, according to these reports. Well, right.
Speaker 13 (37:23):
I think the Hill article specifically links to the posting
by X Safety, which showed examples of some of this
propaganda out there.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Rory O'Neill, thank you very much. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 13 (37:36):
Talk to you then, Chris.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Thanks. Yes, sir. Thank you. There he goes. I will
see you tomorrow. Chris Crockett for Michael DelGiorno. We're all
in this together. This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
