Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning Show airs live 5 to
8 a.m. Central, 6 to 9 Eastern in great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happy
you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk.
A new way of understanding. Because.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. This is
your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Chris Kroc in for Michael DelGiorno. Well, from Sacramento, Dallas, Tampa,
and D.C. with Cleve Akron and Memphis in between. It's
your morning show. Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent, joining us.
The latest on three days of jury deliberations in the
(00:52):
Lindsay Clancy trial.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Rory, what is the latest? Where is this headed?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Yeah, we're just a couple of hours from starting the
fourth day of deliberations. Already 17 hours have been logged
in by this jury that started to discuss the facts
of the case back on Thursday of last week. We
all sort of thought that, okay, yeah, Thursday, a little
bit of Thursday, most of Friday that you take the
weekend and then the jury would sort of settle in
(01:18):
on something on Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
From the jury at all.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
We're not really sure if they're having any issues, but
they've got a lot to go through, of course. Clancy
has admitted to killing her three children. Her defense attorney
is blaming this on postpartum psychosis and trying to get
her acquitted and get her the psychiatric help she needs.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, you know, Rory, some people were saying, and I
think this is a good idea to say this, that
it was a mistake to not sequester the jury. For example,
they were saying that the jury may have come up
with their decision by Monday had they been sequestered over
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
What are the thoughts on that?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Yeah, I think it's Monday morning quarterbacking at this point.
Cuz look, we don't know what's going on inside their heads. Obviously,
this was a high profile case in that area, clearly
when these murders happened. So I think they were all
aware of it. And I think that I'm not sure
the facts of the case really matter, to be honest.
(02:21):
You know, that it's going to come down to a
person's opinion about whether or not this woman who was
having a series of psychological issues, whether or not she
should be found guilty of first degree murder, or if
this was an action that was done while suffering the
effects of this psychosis. And, you know, I'm not sure
anyone's testimony would sway you one way or the other
when it comes to having an opinion in the case.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
And there's also stuff about the knife wounds that she
allegedly used to cut herself in the suicide attempt. There's
abrasions on the neck, not cuts, is what some of
the folks at Fox have said. The jumping out of
a window is only from 12 to 13 feet. So
there's a lot of people questioning if she legitimately really
(03:05):
was trying to be suicidal.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I'll tie that in with.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The fact that she only heard voices for 18 minutes,
like just before, during, and afterward, and then only one
more time when she talked to a priest. So there's
a lot of skepticism on this. I mean, what do
we know about that area there, that realm?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, right.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I mean, and that's been essentially the heart of the
prosecution's case. Look, we are trying to apply logic to
something that is completely illogical, right?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
A mother killing her own three children, and we're.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Trying to backtrack. I can try to find some sort
of justice for those three children. But at the same time,
try to figure out what is best for everyone else
involved in this case. And that includes her, Clancy, and
her ex-husband as well, I guess would be in the
mix of this too. So it's imperfect, and I don't
(03:59):
think there is a perfect solution to this. I understand
people say, nope, string her up, put her in the chair. Granted,
that's not an option in Massachusetts. But you're going to get,
there's going to be some sort of confinement that seems
most likely after this, whether it's a mental institution or
a prison.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The burden of proof is on the defense.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
To prove uh uh certain things it's kind of flipped
i guess in the commonwealth of massachusetts the other thing
is too there you know the judge gave three options
first degree second degree and manslaughter but truthfully it seems
the only option is guilty or not guilty on first
degree murder not the other two they're they're not really
relevant to this case it seems Well, right, so that would.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Lead to premeditation and the prosecution's argument saying, look, she
knew what she was doing was wrong. She told her
husband to go on some nonsense errands to get him
out of the house. Yes. And this was all part
of a plan that she had in order to kill
the children. So that leads to the premeditation part of it.
And we should also note, so it's murder one, murder two, manslaughter,
(05:06):
or not guilty by reason of insanity, or just plain
old not guilty. And since she's admitted to these, it
seems that not guilty is also not really an option.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Rory O'Neill, national correspondent. Appreciate you very much, sir. Thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Thanks, Chris. There he goes. Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So, and we'll talk to Rory a little bit later
on the show with, this will be interesting, best and
worst places to retire.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Brand new list is out.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Rory will join us on that at 8.50 Eastern, coming
up a little bit here from now. Meantime, Tensions erupt
in the House in a House hearing as GOP advances
anti-socialism resolution while Democrats rage.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Silly season.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So they're mocking the fact that Republicans want to have
a vote on whether or not to condemn socialism. Now,
does is anybody is anybody out there in the press
or the average person that follows this? Does anybody is
anybody to try to pass off? And make us think
that socialism is not a very, very, very serious, large
(06:14):
debate happening right now in the Democrat Party?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
There's no question. So why then do the Democrats mock
a vote in the House on whether or not to
support socialism? That doesn't make sense to me. It's actually
a resolution to condemn socialism.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
The only reason why I see some of these Democrats
mocking this and squirming is because they know the truth.
And the truth is their party is in a war,
is in massive turmoil about socialists, Democrat socialists, or just Democrats.
And the battle for the party and its future are
absolutely on the line.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
This vote, while.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Maybe mocked from some Democrats or lots of Democrats, is very, very,
very valid. You hear every other pundit every other day,
if not every day, debating about this and talking about this.
So what more of a perfect way than to get
people on the record to say they condemn socialism? And
if they won't, if they mock it, that means they
don't want to take a position because they're afraid. They're
(07:19):
afraid or they're not a leader. Leaders say things that
may be unpopular. So the question is, does the Democrat
Party want to kick the socialists out?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Or does it find itself cozying up with them?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
What's crazy is, I mean, it's not necessarily crazy for
Kamala to come out and be really, really cozying up
to this.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I do hope she gets the nomination.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It'd be great to watch the disaster unfold again anew.
But I think that they're afraid. I think that's why
they're mocking this or refusing to do it. Representative Joe Neguse,
the geese, A Democrat from Colorado said that he attempted
to press the folks, the Republicans, on whether they would
see President Donald Trump trying to take a 20% stake
in Kroger grocery stores as socialism, to which the Republican
(08:07):
representative replied he would want to see the details. Actually,
I can answer that for you. With President Trump, I mean,
I voted for the guy three times.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I like the guy, but.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He is continuing to try to get stakes or getting
stakes in the name of our country in stakes for
the Venezuelan government with the oil deal or with other
different deals he's done. And we should not be taking
any stakes in any company because that does become more
like socialism.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Red, do you agree, Producer Red?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
I do. Not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I think he has good intentions, but I think it's
a terrible idea. That's exactly right. You don't do that.
You do not take stakes. I don't know why he's
done that. That's what he does. And so I think
the Democrats saying, you know, we're about taking 20% stake
in Kroger, I think that's a great point. This Republican
congressman that's put this resolution forward says, well, I want
(09:07):
to see the details.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
What do you mean you want to see the details?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Under no circumstances should our government take any stake in
any private company.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That is like socialism. So it's not defensible.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
But I think it's obvious that putting through this resolution
is a good thing. One Democrat, Mary Scanlon, Mary Gay
Scanlon from Pennsylvania, quote, let's scare people with yet another
boogeyman and not do anything about it, not really solve problems.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Just try to scare people. This is not a boogeyman.
This is the party, the Democrat Party. This is every day.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Longtime stalwart Democrat people like James Carville. And the list
goes on and on and on about socialism every day.
So it is very valid.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now, here we go. You want this is this is.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Socialism and socialists, the new younger generation who supports this garbage.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
This is it in one simple nutshell.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
This is a debate between Representative Democrat Rep. Maxwell Frost
and another guy. I don't know the guy's name, but
they're debating. And you have to hear this. This is
absolutely fantastic. Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I don't have a ton of money in a bank
account when I decided to run for office. So I
had to hustle and make ends meet, which is the
thing that you all are telling. So that's the American dream.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You lived it.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
That's not living the American dream.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So you don't.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
So you don't living the American dream. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
How is it not?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
That's not the American dream. Isn't driving Uber to barely
make ends meet. The American dream is upward mobility and being.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Able to have success.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
You went from driving Uber to being a politician.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Is that upward?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Is success.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
The Democrat representative there, Maxwell Frost, says that we don't
have upward mobility in the country because, well, I used
to drive Uber. Well, he is now a United States
congressman making what, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
First of all, he's a U.S. congressman. He says there's
no upward mobility, but then he says I used to
drive Uber. Dude, you went from driving Uber to being
a United States congressman.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
That is upward mobility. He's complaining about that. Therein lies
the yes, producer.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Let me get this. Let me get this correct. Yeah,
he drove an Uber and now he's a congressman.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And he's complaining about that saying there's no upward mobility.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
That was his prerequisite to the job.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well, I don't know if it's his prerequisite, but that's
what he did until he won Congress. Wait a minute,
what are you saying?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Did you slip in a funny that I missed? Did
you slip in a funny that I missed? Remember, I'm
a dumb Polack from Chicago. I miss things all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm being serious, too.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I really am.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
He could have been a bartender, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, that's the point. AOC was a barista, right? Barrista.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
By the way, did you know that she is clearing
the deck to run for president, apparently?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
She fired her whole team.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And got new team in from bernie she is absolutely
going to be running is what a lot of people
are saying and i think that would be great googly
eyes people are saying don't don't underestimate her but i
think that uh i mean the woman couldn't even answer
taiwan remember uh and uh and uh and remember she
said that venezuela it was on the wrong side of
(12:30):
the equator remember that she didn't she say it's uh
the venezuela is south of the equator and it's north
she doesn't know she's she speaks boldly boldly about venezuela
doesn't know where it is on a map and then
(12:51):
um i mean i i gotta tell you it's amazing
remember um The late Senator Graham, his wife, his sister Darlene, right?
Make sure I got her first name right. She literally
could not answer the question on Taiwan. And there's no excuse.
(13:13):
You're running for senator. But AOC was asked, remember that,
what was that at? That was like in Davos or something.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
One of those types of hoity-toity European conferences and could
not answer Taiwan. I mean, this is not hard at all.
The answer on that is very simple. We cannot have
our military. We cannot even have options on cars. Remember
when COVID happened and we had a shortage of chips
(13:41):
and you couldn't get like people could not get new cars.
They couldn't even get like the mirrors, you know, the
power mirrors. We can move your mirror on the side
because they didn't have enough chips. And so the answer
is Taiwan produces the massive lion's share of chips in
the world. Without them, we will lose our defense industry,
we will lose our computers, our laptops, our cell phones,
(14:01):
and we will.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Lose options on cars.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
It is not an option to not defend Taiwan to
the hilt. But instead, AOC went, uh, uh, uh, so
please run. It'll be fun to watch you, you know,
act a fool. Coming up next, we have the top
five stories of the day. This is Chris Crockin for
Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It's your morning show.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs. Then 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 2 (14:40):
Why?
Speaker 9 (14:41):
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

Speaker 7 (15:57):
Of the day.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
All right, we have two things going on at the
same time.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Apologize.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Can we get a redo on that? We do that
quite a bit around here.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Well, you know, this is a prerecorded show. The entire
show is prerecorded. So that's fine. Let's just edit that
out and ready. And three, two, one, go.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
People are going to believe that this is recorded.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You think people will believe it's actually recorded? You have
no idea.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
For years, for years, for years on Dallas-Fort Worth radio
I've been for, you know, 16 years.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
For years I've pulled that one. Pretend, well, this is pre-recorded.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You say it on the radio. It has to be true.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
U.S.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to make 2028 presidential bid report.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Pete, say it ain't so, brother, man. Say it ain't so.
No thank you on that. I'm fine with him being SecWar.
That's great. I think he's great.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Not that.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
James Clyburn, powerful black Democrat from South Carolina, calls for
expanding the Supreme Court, says 13 is a pretty good number,
to which I say, well, maybe, but I think 15
is better.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Red, what do you think? How many?
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I think 13th' s great. Trump should start nominating him right now.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yes! Full life. Calls she suspends Republican House candidate for
betting on her own race. How stupid can you be?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Lori Buck out, an Army veteran purchased $ 1, 000 of contracts
related to her own candidacy. Gosh, flush that down the toilet.
Get out of here. Hunter Biden admits he.
Hunter Biden admits he used cushy barismagate to fund crack
cocaine addiction.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I'm shocked.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Shocked.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I never went broke, Hunter said in the Dopey podcast.
They'll be for many reasons. Eric Swalwell, FBI surrounded him
at the airport. That video was just released. It's on
my Twitter feed.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Check it out. Bye-bye, Mr.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Swalwell.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
John Decker next on Iran and the war.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
This is Shannon Gregory, and my morning show is your
morning show with Michael DiGiorno.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings, 5 to 8 a.m., 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern,
in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We'd love to join you on The Drive to Work Live,
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
In just a moment, we will talk to John Decker,
White House correspondent about Iran. There's a lot of stuff
I have to ask about with that, and we got
some talkbacks, too.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You want to pop a few talkbacks off while we
wait for John?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I can try one of those.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, let's hear one of those here from Blaine on KASI.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
This is my opinion on this Fruit of the Poison
Tree episode. Non-sequestered the jury, that's a mistake and a half.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Jury members wearing pink in.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Support of the murderess, perhaps, and not sequestering the jury
to be home to listen to all this other nonsense
from the media. This is designed to be a hung
jury and a mistrial.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Mark my words.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
That's the Lindsay Clancy. We're already on, what, 17 hours
of jury deliberations? Yeah, I do a lot of social media.
And one of the most explosive recent ones I did
was about Lindsay Clancy saying that she needs to be convicted.
(19:35):
The knife marks that she allegedly tried to kill herself
with were abrasions on her neck, according to Fox News.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And one of their folks, what's his name? It'll come
to me in a second. The former New York.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
New york city detective and attorney was talking about those
abrasions she jumps out of a window 12 feet 13
feet and it's funny because there's some women that got
really mad at me I don't see many men disagreeing
with me, but there's some women that got really, really
mad at me. And they're like, it was 20 feet.
I'm like, it's 12 or 13 feet.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
20 feet?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Was she jumping off the roof?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
All right, we got John Decker, White House correspondent, joining
us on Iran.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
John, welcome back to the show, my friend.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Two thirds of Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of
Iran war. Four and five say it's increased food and
gas prices. How's it going overall right now from where
you sit in your coverage?
Speaker 10 (20:35):
Well, it comes up quite a bit. The president will
have an event today. He understands that this issue of
high gas prices could really hurt Republicans in the midterm
elections in November.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Today he has an event. It will take place in
the cabinet room.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
And it's an event with corporate executives who are in
charge of essentially setting gas prices at retailers all across
the country. So we'll see where that goes. I'll actually
be in the cabinet room when the president meets with
those individuals, provided, of course, that event is open to
the White House press pool.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
So it's not going well.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
The White House, I think, is acknowledging that, having events
like the one that I'm talking about today. And they're
hearing a lot also from Republicans who are very nervous
about their chances.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Of winning reelection in November. Understandably so.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
What do we know about this intact bunker that may
hide the regime's ongoing nuclear work in Natanz?
Speaker 10 (21:40):
Well, this has been going on for quite some time.
The conflict actually has entered the seventh month. And so
the president initially said that this conflict would last, I
believe he said, four to five weeks. It's far longer
than that. And we've seen gas prices rise increasingly so
(22:00):
over the course of the past seven months.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
In fact, oil closed.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Above $ 90 a barrel. That's the highest price in over
a month. And that has made the markets quite nervous
in terms of this conflict persisting and persisting all the
way through the midterm elections. I don't believe that this
conflict is nearing an end. And also, the problem remains
(22:25):
about the Strait of Hormuz. Before the war, you'd have
upwards of 130 ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, going through
the Strait of Hormuz every day. Now the number's around 30.
So significantly less And oil companies are very nervous about
sending their precious cargo through the Strait of Hormuz because
(22:46):
of the threat posed by Iran.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
General Jack Keane, retired, of course, says that Iran thinks
it can outlast Trump and his administration through the midterm elections.
I mean, it's a game of maybe chicken or whatever
you want to call it, or longevity. Can they outlast us,
I mean, in the long run here? Or can we
starve them to the point where they collapse eventually at
six months or something, you know?
Speaker 10 (23:10):
Well, as long as Iran holds this leverage of the
Strait of Hormuz, and they do, that's going to be problematic.
This was not an issue. The Strait of Hormuz, I
don't think really anybody spoke about it or thought about
it before this conflict began in late February. Now we
speak about it almost every day, and it is a problem.
(23:33):
And so Iran recognizes that they have this leverage. And
they're using this leverage related to trying to find a
diplomatic solution to ending this conflict. So I have no
crystal ball. I don't know how long it's going to last,
but it's lasted seven months and there's no end that
I see in sight for ending this conflict.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Really quickly, do you have 20 more seconds?
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Why can't we stop? their ability to shoot at ships
in the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, these seem to
be stationary or rocket launchers that may move here and there,
but why can't we just take them out?
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Well, I think one of the primary reasons has to
do with the fact that we're talking about, in some cases,
drone technology, which is not very sophisticated. It's not very
expensive either to acquire that drone technology. And for those reasons,
it just makes it very difficult to protect those cargo
(24:30):
ships that are essentially sitting ducks in the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I think that's the primary reason why we see this continuing.
White House correspondent John Decker, thank you very much. Hope
you get in there. I hope they open up to
the press today in the Oval Office. Appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Thank you so much. Yes, sir. All right, take care.
All right, there he goes. That's just it's just angering
to me.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
There is no victory in reopening the Strait of Hormuz
100 percent.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
That's how it was before.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
And I go back to what I've been saying for
months now. And I've never backed down on this is
President Trump never should have let up two and a half, three,
three months ago now. He never should have let up.
He should have kept going. He should have finished the job. And, um,
and we would not be here at this point instead by, uh,
(25:21):
trying to get a deal. And I have, have, you know,
angrily said when he's like, Oh, they want to deal
so bad. They want to deal so bad. First of all,
I'm sick of hearing that. Number two, they don't want
to deal so bad. Maybe the politicians like, uh, uh,
the president, uh, possess skin might want to deal, but
that doesn't mean anything because the RCG does not want
(25:43):
to deal. And if the regime survives, which it will
as of right now, if the regime survives, the one
thing that people need to really understand, I think, is
that if the regime survives, that is a victory for them.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I'll say it again.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
If the IRCG, if the regime survives at the time
this conflict ends, then they have won. I'm not saying that.
That's what they believe, and that's who they are and
how they roll. surviving is victory and they will say
we defeated the great satan we chased them out of
here we won they cannot run the straight they cannot
(26:20):
affect the straight um while they are and it's just
something that has to be finished and again it could
have been finished two and a half three months ago
but we made a quote-unquote deal you you cannot make
and you do not make deals with terrorists you do
not make deals with terrorists there is no deal terrorists
don't want to make deals they want to kill us
or subjugate us etc so Very angry. And, you know,
(26:46):
one of the things we talked about yesterday a little
bit was the president is very forward facing as far
as his legacy. He really, really, really cares about his legacy.
He looks forward like that and he's wise like that.
And that's great. But I feel like he is more
concerned about his legacy than he is about midterms.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And he ain't stupid. He's very smart. He knows what
he's doing. But I'm going to tell you right now.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
He is going to, the last two years of his
administration are going to be a nightmare if we don't
keep the House.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
And we're not going to keep the House. Does anybody here, Jeff, Red,
do you guys actually think we're going to keep the
House after the midterms? I do not think, I think
we're going to lose the House in the midterms. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Red, you think we're going to lose the midterms? I
think we're going to lose the House. I unequivocally do.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Magic 8-Ball says, does not look good.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yes, Magic 8-Ball. Are you Asian?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Do you run an Asian restaurant or Chinese restaurant? Magic
8-Ball says, we like reading of Fortune Cookie. Broken English. Hey, guys,
the producer of the show there, Red, speaks broken English.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
He's a migrant. He's a migrant from China. He's a
Biden migrant. We got him for cheap. Ladies and gentlemen,
Red gets mad. He says, people say I'm cheap and easy.
He says, but I'm not cheap.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No, he's not. Well, I should have been ready for that,
shouldn't I?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
And we, you know, it's been a long time since
we have had the wars, the snare wars, if you will.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Right. So mine's better. Mine, that was a double snare.
Mine's bigger than yours, okay? You hear that?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
A little more bass end on yours.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, it's got a little more. Yeah, I had it
worked on, okay? I had some work done on my snare.
That's all right. It's a personal thing. I won't mention
that anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Probably best.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Coming up next, New York police shoot, kill a knife-wielding
woman who stabbed two people, one fatally, in Times Square's
Times Square.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Where do you hear... By the way, did you know
Times Square is a gun-free zone? It's also a knife-free zone.
A weapon-free zone. They just needed more signs. Bigger signs.
She wouldn't have disobeyed the signs.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
But where do you hear what the cops initially deployed
to stop this woman?
Speaker 9 (29:23):
It is.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
angering to me actually.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
All that's next oh my gosh the bangles did i
get the band right did i get it wrong again.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Yeah this is this is actually the go-go's no i'm
just playing oh.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
My gosh i thought it was right again some help
down here.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Chris Crockett from Michael Del Giorno, your morning show. When
it 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.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So guess what she did?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
She stopped taking it.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
And when the aches returned after stopped taking it, she
realized just how much it had been helping. Now 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. They try it,
it works. Then like we always do once it works,
(30:23):
we stop taking it and start hurting again and realize, boy,
it really does work. Everybody develops their relief factor story.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
You will too. And I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-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.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
$ 17.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
76 for your It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. Hey, Chris.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
You know, what Iran is doing, of course, is exactly
what Germany and Japan did toward the end of World
War II. They should have given up long before they did,
and hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yes, sir. That's accurate. It was done, right?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
However, the thing is, the difference is, that neither of
those two entities were Islamist terrorists who will die for
the cause. Now, you could say that the Japanese, you know, kamikaze. But,
Producer Red, I will give you the floor on this.
(31:39):
Is that the same thing as Islamism? Because it's not.
Islamism is, I mean, if you do these things, you
go to paradise. And if you usher in Iran, they
want to usher in the 12th Imam, meaning the end
of the world, if you will. Any thoughts on that?
Because I know you're a little bit more of a
student of history.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
It's just not the same, though, is it, with radical Islam?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Well, it would have its comparisons, but it's not the same.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right, yeah. I mean, in radical Islam, you know, what
do they say? They blow up so young.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Okay, the knife-wielding woman in New York City, Times Square,
she did not obey the no weapons signs. And she
was shot in a, quote, gun-free Times Square zone following
the knife attack.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Here's the thing that got me.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Now, number one, she randomly attacked a man and a
woman within a 20-second span. Officers found her a block
away behind New York City police station, substation, New York
City PD, NYPD, waving two knives at them. They spoke
to the woman for four minutes, gave her numerous commands
to drop the knives, reports the New York Post, but
she refused.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm not dropping anything. I would rather kill both of you.
I will kill you, she said. Here's where the officers
made a fatal, fatal mistake in my opinion. Thankfully, nothing
fatal literally, but listen.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
You have a woman who has stabbed two people, one fatally,
and she's not dropping the knife. A knife is a
deadly weapon, unequivocally. You do not use a taser on
a deadly weapon. The use of force continuum with officers
(33:42):
is they go above what they're being.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Met with. They don't match you.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
This isn't a fair patty cake game where you go
back and forth playing ping pong.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
The woman had a deadly weapon, a knife. The way
to stop somebody with a knife that's coming for you
and is going to kill you is to shoot them.
You shoot to stop the threat.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
That they literally were trying to do tasers is a
disgrace and it's an indictment on humanity. Zora Mondami and
the anti-police policies of New York City. They discharged several
tasers at Cisneros. The woman, the lady, she proved to
be ineffective. She continued charging at the officers. They opened fire,
(34:23):
striking her. She had a known history of mental illness
with the department. She was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. So,
I mean, I am very, very disappointed. Our officers need
to use their weapons, and I think they're too afraid
to use them properly because of the city they're in.
I'm a born and raised Chicago and a guy born
(34:44):
in the city, raised in the burbs, and I'm a
multi-generational family of law enforcement, two in Chicago police, two
different generations. And people leave that department because they don't
want to go to jail for doing their job, and
that's a very, very serious truth. They have to be
able to do the proper use of force, which is
when somebody comes at you with a knife, you don't
(35:05):
play patty cake. You shoot center mass to stop the threat.
Anybody who says the term shoot to kill, they don't
know what they're talking about. There's no such thing in
law enforcement. Shoot to stop the threat. Center mass.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Let's do the top five stories of the day.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Five, four, three.
Speaker 10 (35:25):
Two, one.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
U.S.-affiliated firm to seize control of Venezuelan oil fields from
the Chinese and Russian companies. That is a very good
thing that came out today. U.S.-affiliated oil company will take
over several oil fields previously controlled by Chinese companies and
a Russian firm, officials say, according to Reuters. Trump orders
shock voter fraud crackdown across nine states as secret ice
(35:48):
blitz starts.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Manana, por favor. Grassy ass.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Donald Trump has ordered Homeland Security to launch a nationwide
voter fraud crackdown targeting key swing states as Republicans brace
for a midterm, brutal midterm fight. ISIS investigative arm will
launch coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative and pursue investigative
leads and conduct field interviews. A jury found Dwayne Keith D.
Davis guilty of orchestrating the 1996 killing of rap icon
(36:17):
Tupac Shakur, finally bringing a measure of resolution to the
case after decades. Supreme Court Monday gave President Trump a
win by allowing him to move forward indefinitely with the
construction of his new White House ballroom. The court, 5-4 divided,
granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
A to the men on that. And what do I
got next?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Coming up next, I do want to hit the massive controversy,
Abdul Rahman Mohammed Al-Sayed and his 9-11 posts.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
And people are outraged about them. All that next. We're
all in this together. This is your morning show with
Michael DelGiorno.
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning Show airs live 5 to
8 a.m. Central, 6 to 9 Eastern in great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happy
you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk.
A new way of understanding. Because.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. This is
your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Chris Kroc in for Michael DelGiorno. Well, from Sacramento, Dallas, Tampa,
and D.C. with Cleve Akron and Memphis in between. It's
your morning show. Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent, joining us.
The latest on three days of jury deliberations in the
(00:52):
Lindsay Clancy trial.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Rory, what is the latest? Where is this headed?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Yeah, we're just a couple of hours from starting the
fourth day of deliberations. Already 17 hours have been logged
in by this jury that started to discuss the facts
of the case back on Thursday of last week. We
all sort of thought that, okay, yeah, Thursday, a little
bit of Thursday, most of Friday that you take the
weekend and then the jury would sort of settle in
(01:18):
on something on Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
From the jury at all.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
We're not really sure if they're having any issues, but
they've got a lot to go through, of course. Clancy
has admitted to killing her three children. Her defense attorney
is blaming this on postpartum psychosis and trying to get
her acquitted and get her the psychiatric help she needs.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, you know, Rory, some people were saying, and I
think this is a good idea to say this, that
it was a mistake to not sequester the jury. For example,
they were saying that the jury may have come up
with their decision by Monday had they been sequestered over
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
What are the thoughts on that?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Yeah, I think it's Monday morning quarterbacking at this point.
Cuz look, we don't know what's going on inside their heads. Obviously,
this was a high profile case in that area, clearly
when these murders happened. So I think they were all
aware of it. And I think that I'm not sure
the facts of the case really matter, to be honest.
(02:21):
You know, that it's going to come down to a
person's opinion about whether or not this woman who was
having a series of psychological issues, whether or not she
should be found guilty of first degree murder, or if
this was an action that was done while suffering the
effects of this psychosis. And, you know, I'm not sure
anyone's testimony would sway you one way or the other
when it comes to having an opinion in the case.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
And there's also stuff about the knife wounds that she
allegedly used to cut herself in the suicide attempt. There's
abrasions on the neck, not cuts, is what some of
the folks at Fox have said. The jumping out of
a window is only from 12 to 13 feet. So
there's a lot of people questioning if she legitimately really
(03:05):
was trying to be suicidal.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I'll tie that in with.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The fact that she only heard voices for 18 minutes,
like just before, during, and afterward, and then only one
more time when she talked to a priest. So there's
a lot of skepticism on this. I mean, what do
we know about that area there, that realm?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, right.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I mean, and that's been essentially the heart of the
prosecution's case. Look, we are trying to apply logic to
something that is completely illogical, right?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
A mother killing her own three children, and we're.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Trying to backtrack. I can try to find some sort
of justice for those three children. But at the same time,
try to figure out what is best for everyone else
involved in this case. And that includes her, Clancy, and
her ex-husband as well, I guess would be in the
mix of this too. So it's imperfect, and I don't
(03:59):
think there is a perfect solution to this. I understand
people say, nope, string her up, put her in the chair. Granted,
that's not an option in Massachusetts. But you're going to get,
there's going to be some sort of confinement that seems
most likely after this, whether it's a mental institution or
a prison.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The burden of proof is on the defense.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
To prove uh uh certain things it's kind of flipped
i guess in the commonwealth of massachusetts the other thing
is too there you know the judge gave three options
first degree second degree and manslaughter but truthfully it seems
the only option is guilty or not guilty on first
degree murder not the other two they're they're not really
relevant to this case it seems Well, right, so that would.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Lead to premeditation and the prosecution's argument saying, look, she
knew what she was doing was wrong. She told her
husband to go on some nonsense errands to get him
out of the house. Yes. And this was all part
of a plan that she had in order to kill
the children. So that leads to the premeditation part of it.
And we should also note, so it's murder one, murder two, manslaughter,
(05:06):
or not guilty by reason of insanity, or just plain
old not guilty. And since she's admitted to these, it
seems that not guilty is also not really an option.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Rory O'Neill, national correspondent. Appreciate you very much, sir. Thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Thanks, Chris. There he goes. Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So, and we'll talk to Rory a little bit later
on the show with, this will be interesting, best and
worst places to retire.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Brand new list is out.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Rory will join us on that at 8.50 Eastern, coming
up a little bit here from now. Meantime, Tensions erupt
in the House in a House hearing as GOP advances
anti-socialism resolution while Democrats rage.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Silly season.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So they're mocking the fact that Republicans want to have
a vote on whether or not to condemn socialism. Now,
does is anybody is anybody out there in the press
or the average person that follows this? Does anybody is
anybody to try to pass off? And make us think
that socialism is not a very, very, very serious, large
(06:14):
debate happening right now in the Democrat Party?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
There's no question. So why then do the Democrats mock
a vote in the House on whether or not to
support socialism? That doesn't make sense to me. It's actually
a resolution to condemn socialism.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
The only reason why I see some of these Democrats
mocking this and squirming is because they know the truth.
And the truth is their party is in a war,
is in massive turmoil about socialists, Democrat socialists, or just Democrats.
And the battle for the party and its future are
absolutely on the line.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
This vote, while.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Maybe mocked from some Democrats or lots of Democrats, is very, very,
very valid. You hear every other pundit every other day,
if not every day, debating about this and talking about this.
So what more of a perfect way than to get
people on the record to say they condemn socialism? And
if they won't, if they mock it, that means they
don't want to take a position because they're afraid. They're
(07:19):
afraid or they're not a leader. Leaders say things that
may be unpopular. So the question is, does the Democrat
Party want to kick the socialists out?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Or does it find itself cozying up with them?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
What's crazy is, I mean, it's not necessarily crazy for
Kamala to come out and be really, really cozying up
to this.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And I do hope she gets the nomination.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It'd be great to watch the disaster unfold again anew.
But I think that they're afraid. I think that's why
they're mocking this or refusing to do it. Representative Joe Neguse,
the geese, A Democrat from Colorado said that he attempted
to press the folks, the Republicans, on whether they would
see President Donald Trump trying to take a 20% stake
in Kroger grocery stores as socialism, to which the Republican
(08:07):
representative replied he would want to see the details. Actually,
I can answer that for you. With President Trump, I mean,
I voted for the guy three times.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I like the guy, but.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He is continuing to try to get stakes or getting
stakes in the name of our country in stakes for
the Venezuelan government with the oil deal or with other
different deals he's done. And we should not be taking
any stakes in any company because that does become more
like socialism.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Red, do you agree, Producer Red?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
I do. Not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I think he has good intentions, but I think it's
a terrible idea. That's exactly right. You don't do that.
You do not take stakes. I don't know why he's
done that. That's what he does. And so I think
the Democrats saying, you know, we're about taking 20% stake
in Kroger, I think that's a great point. This Republican
congressman that's put this resolution forward says, well, I want
(09:07):
to see the details.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
What do you mean you want to see the details?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Under no circumstances should our government take any stake in
any private company.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That is like socialism. So it's not defensible.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
But I think it's obvious that putting through this resolution
is a good thing. One Democrat, Mary Scanlon, Mary Gay
Scanlon from Pennsylvania, quote, let's scare people with yet another
boogeyman and not do anything about it, not really solve problems.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Just try to scare people. This is not a boogeyman.
This is the party, the Democrat Party. This is every day.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Longtime stalwart Democrat people like James Carville. And the list
goes on and on and on about socialism every day.
So it is very valid.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now, here we go. You want this is this is.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Socialism and socialists, the new younger generation who supports this garbage.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
This is it in one simple nutshell.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
This is a debate between Representative Democrat Rep. Maxwell Frost
and another guy. I don't know the guy's name, but
they're debating. And you have to hear this. This is
absolutely fantastic. Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I don't have a ton of money in a bank
account when I decided to run for office. So I
had to hustle and make ends meet, which is the
thing that you all are telling. So that's the American dream.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You lived it.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
That's not living the American dream.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So you don't.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
So you don't living the American dream. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
How is it not?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
That's not the American dream. Isn't driving Uber to barely
make ends meet. The American dream is upward mobility and being.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Able to have success.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
You went from driving Uber to being a politician.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Is that upward?
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Is success.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
The Democrat representative there, Maxwell Frost, says that we don't
have upward mobility in the country because, well, I used
to drive Uber. Well, he is now a United States
congressman making what, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
First of all, he's a U.S. congressman. He says there's
no upward mobility, but then he says I used to
drive Uber. Dude, you went from driving Uber to being
a United States congressman.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
That is upward mobility. He's complaining about that. Therein lies
the yes, producer.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Let me get this. Let me get this correct. Yeah,
he drove an Uber and now he's a congressman.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And he's complaining about that saying there's no upward mobility.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
That was his prerequisite to the job.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well, I don't know if it's his prerequisite, but that's
what he did until he won Congress. Wait a minute,
what are you saying?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Did you slip in a funny that I missed? Did
you slip in a funny that I missed? Remember, I'm
a dumb Polack from Chicago. I miss things all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm being serious, too.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I really am.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
He could have been a bartender, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, that's the point. AOC was a barista, right? Barrista.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
By the way, did you know that she is clearing
the deck to run for president, apparently?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
She fired her whole team.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And got new team in from bernie she is absolutely
going to be running is what a lot of people
are saying and i think that would be great googly
eyes people are saying don't don't underestimate her but i
think that uh i mean the woman couldn't even answer
taiwan remember uh and uh and uh and remember she
said that venezuela it was on the wrong side of
(12:30):
the equator remember that she didn't she say it's uh
the venezuela is south of the equator and it's north
she doesn't know she's she speaks boldly boldly about venezuela
doesn't know where it is on a map and then
(12:51):
um i mean i i gotta tell you it's amazing
remember um The late Senator Graham, his wife, his sister Darlene, right?
Make sure I got her first name right. She literally
could not answer the question on Taiwan. And there's no excuse.
(13:13):
You're running for senator. But AOC was asked, remember that,
what was that at? That was like in Davos or something.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
One of those types of hoity-toity European conferences and could
not answer Taiwan. I mean, this is not hard at all.
The answer on that is very simple. We cannot have
our military. We cannot even have options on cars. Remember
when COVID happened and we had a shortage of chips
(13:41):
and you couldn't get like people could not get new cars.
They couldn't even get like the mirrors, you know, the
power mirrors. We can move your mirror on the side
because they didn't have enough chips. And so the answer
is Taiwan produces the massive lion's share of chips in
the world. Without them, we will lose our defense industry,
we will lose our computers, our laptops, our cell phones,
(14:01):
and we will.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Lose options on cars.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
It is not an option to not defend Taiwan to
the hilt. But instead, AOC went, uh, uh, uh, so
please run. It'll be fun to watch you, you know,
act a fool. Coming up next, we have the top
five stories of the day. This is Chris Crockin for
Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It's your morning show.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs. Then 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 2 (14:40):
Why?
Speaker 9 (14:41):
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

Speaker 7 (15:57):
Of the day.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
All right, we have two things going on at the
same time.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Apologize.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Can we get a redo on that? We do that
quite a bit around here.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Well, you know, this is a prerecorded show. The entire
show is prerecorded. So that's fine. Let's just edit that
out and ready. And three, two, one, go.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
People are going to believe that this is recorded.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You think people will believe it's actually recorded? You have
no idea.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
For years, for years, for years on Dallas-Fort Worth radio
I've been for, you know, 16 years.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
For years I've pulled that one. Pretend, well, this is pre-recorded.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You say it on the radio. It has to be true.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
U.S.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to make 2028 presidential bid report.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Pete, say it ain't so, brother, man. Say it ain't so.
No thank you on that. I'm fine with him being SecWar.
That's great. I think he's great.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Not that.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
James Clyburn, powerful black Democrat from South Carolina, calls for
expanding the Supreme Court, says 13 is a pretty good number,
to which I say, well, maybe, but I think 15
is better.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Red, what do you think? How many?
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I think 13th' s great. Trump should start nominating him right now.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yes! Full life. Calls she suspends Republican House candidate for
betting on her own race. How stupid can you be?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Lori Buck out, an Army veteran purchased $ 1, 000 of contracts
related to her own candidacy. Gosh, flush that down the toilet.
Get out of here. Hunter Biden admits he.
Hunter Biden admits he used cushy barismagate to fund crack
cocaine addiction.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I'm shocked.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Shocked.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I never went broke, Hunter said in the Dopey podcast.
They'll be for many reasons. Eric Swalwell, FBI surrounded him
at the airport. That video was just released. It's on
my Twitter feed.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Check it out. Bye-bye, Mr.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Swalwell.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
John Decker next on Iran and the war.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
This is Shannon Gregory, and my morning show is your
morning show with Michael DiGiorno.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings, 5 to 8 a.m., 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern,
in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We'd love to join you on The Drive to Work Live,
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
In just a moment, we will talk to John Decker,
White House correspondent about Iran. There's a lot of stuff
I have to ask about with that, and we got
some talkbacks, too.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You want to pop a few talkbacks off while we
wait for John?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I can try one of those.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, let's hear one of those here from Blaine on KASI.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
This is my opinion on this Fruit of the Poison
Tree episode. Non-sequestered the jury, that's a mistake and a half.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Jury members wearing pink in.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Support of the murderess, perhaps, and not sequestering the jury
to be home to listen to all this other nonsense
from the media. This is designed to be a hung
jury and a mistrial.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Mark my words.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
That's the Lindsay Clancy. We're already on, what, 17 hours
of jury deliberations? Yeah, I do a lot of social media.
And one of the most explosive recent ones I did
was about Lindsay Clancy saying that she needs to be convicted.
(19:35):
The knife marks that she allegedly tried to kill herself
with were abrasions on her neck, according to Fox News.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And one of their folks, what's his name? It'll come
to me in a second. The former New York.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
New york city detective and attorney was talking about those
abrasions she jumps out of a window 12 feet 13
feet and it's funny because there's some women that got
really mad at me I don't see many men disagreeing
with me, but there's some women that got really, really
mad at me. And they're like, it was 20 feet.
I'm like, it's 12 or 13 feet.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
20 feet?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Was she jumping off the roof?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
All right, we got John Decker, White House correspondent, joining
us on Iran.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
John, welcome back to the show, my friend.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Two thirds of Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of
Iran war. Four and five say it's increased food and
gas prices. How's it going overall right now from where
you sit in your coverage?
Speaker 10 (20:35):
Well, it comes up quite a bit. The president will
have an event today. He understands that this issue of
high gas prices could really hurt Republicans in the midterm
elections in November.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Today he has an event. It will take place in
the cabinet room.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
And it's an event with corporate executives who are in
charge of essentially setting gas prices at retailers all across
the country. So we'll see where that goes. I'll actually
be in the cabinet room when the president meets with
those individuals, provided, of course, that event is open to
the White House press pool.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
So it's not going well.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
The White House, I think, is acknowledging that, having events
like the one that I'm talking about today. And they're
hearing a lot also from Republicans who are very nervous
about their chances.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Of winning reelection in November. Understandably so.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
What do we know about this intact bunker that may
hide the regime's ongoing nuclear work in Natanz?
Speaker 10 (21:40):
Well, this has been going on for quite some time.
The conflict actually has entered the seventh month. And so
the president initially said that this conflict would last, I
believe he said, four to five weeks. It's far longer
than that. And we've seen gas prices rise increasingly so
(22:00):
over the course of the past seven months.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
In fact, oil closed.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Above $ 90 a barrel. That's the highest price in over
a month. And that has made the markets quite nervous
in terms of this conflict persisting and persisting all the
way through the midterm elections. I don't believe that this
conflict is nearing an end. And also, the problem remains
(22:25):
about the Strait of Hormuz. Before the war, you'd have
upwards of 130 ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, going through
the Strait of Hormuz every day. Now the number's around 30.
So significantly less And oil companies are very nervous about
sending their precious cargo through the Strait of Hormuz because
(22:46):
of the threat posed by Iran.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
General Jack Keane, retired, of course, says that Iran thinks
it can outlast Trump and his administration through the midterm elections.
I mean, it's a game of maybe chicken or whatever
you want to call it, or longevity. Can they outlast us,
I mean, in the long run here? Or can we
starve them to the point where they collapse eventually at
six months or something, you know?
Speaker 10 (23:10):
Well, as long as Iran holds this leverage of the
Strait of Hormuz, and they do, that's going to be problematic.
This was not an issue. The Strait of Hormuz, I
don't think really anybody spoke about it or thought about
it before this conflict began in late February. Now we
speak about it almost every day, and it is a problem.
(23:33):
And so Iran recognizes that they have this leverage. And
they're using this leverage related to trying to find a
diplomatic solution to ending this conflict. So I have no
crystal ball. I don't know how long it's going to last,
but it's lasted seven months and there's no end that
I see in sight for ending this conflict.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Really quickly, do you have 20 more seconds?
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Why can't we stop? their ability to shoot at ships
in the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, these seem to
be stationary or rocket launchers that may move here and there,
but why can't we just take them out?
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Well, I think one of the primary reasons has to
do with the fact that we're talking about, in some cases,
drone technology, which is not very sophisticated. It's not very
expensive either to acquire that drone technology. And for those reasons,
it just makes it very difficult to protect those cargo
(24:30):
ships that are essentially sitting ducks in the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I think that's the primary reason why we see this continuing.
White House correspondent John Decker, thank you very much. Hope
you get in there. I hope they open up to
the press today in the Oval Office. Appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Thank you so much. Yes, sir. All right, take care.
All right, there he goes. That's just it's just angering
to me.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
There is no victory in reopening the Strait of Hormuz
100 percent.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
That's how it was before.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
And I go back to what I've been saying for
months now. And I've never backed down on this is
President Trump never should have let up two and a half, three,
three months ago now. He never should have let up.
He should have kept going. He should have finished the job. And, um,
and we would not be here at this point instead by, uh,
(25:21):
trying to get a deal. And I have, have, you know,
angrily said when he's like, Oh, they want to deal
so bad. They want to deal so bad. First of all,
I'm sick of hearing that. Number two, they don't want
to deal so bad. Maybe the politicians like, uh, uh,
the president, uh, possess skin might want to deal, but
that doesn't mean anything because the RCG does not want
(25:43):
to deal. And if the regime survives, which it will
as of right now, if the regime survives, the one
thing that people need to really understand, I think, is
that if the regime survives, that is a victory for them.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I'll say it again.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
If the IRCG, if the regime survives at the time
this conflict ends, then they have won. I'm not saying that.
That's what they believe, and that's who they are and
how they roll. surviving is victory and they will say
we defeated the great satan we chased them out of
here we won they cannot run the straight they cannot
(26:20):
affect the straight um while they are and it's just
something that has to be finished and again it could
have been finished two and a half three months ago
but we made a quote-unquote deal you you cannot make
and you do not make deals with terrorists you do
not make deals with terrorists there is no deal terrorists
don't want to make deals they want to kill us
or subjugate us etc so Very angry. And, you know,
(26:46):
one of the things we talked about yesterday a little
bit was the president is very forward facing as far
as his legacy. He really, really, really cares about his legacy.
He looks forward like that and he's wise like that.
And that's great. But I feel like he is more
concerned about his legacy than he is about midterms.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And he ain't stupid. He's very smart. He knows what
he's doing. But I'm going to tell you right now.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
He is going to, the last two years of his
administration are going to be a nightmare if we don't
keep the House.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
And we're not going to keep the House. Does anybody here, Jeff, Red,
do you guys actually think we're going to keep the
House after the midterms? I do not think, I think
we're going to lose the House in the midterms. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Red, you think we're going to lose the midterms? I
think we're going to lose the House. I unequivocally do.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Magic 8-Ball says, does not look good.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yes, Magic 8-Ball. Are you Asian?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Do you run an Asian restaurant or Chinese restaurant? Magic
8-Ball says, we like reading of Fortune Cookie. Broken English. Hey, guys,
the producer of the show there, Red, speaks broken English.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
He's a migrant. He's a migrant from China. He's a
Biden migrant. We got him for cheap. Ladies and gentlemen,
Red gets mad. He says, people say I'm cheap and easy.
He says, but I'm not cheap.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No, he's not. Well, I should have been ready for that,
shouldn't I?
Speaker 4 (28:20):
And we, you know, it's been a long time since
we have had the wars, the snare wars, if you will.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Right. So mine's better. Mine, that was a double snare.
Mine's bigger than yours, okay? You hear that?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
A little more bass end on yours.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, it's got a little more. Yeah, I had it
worked on, okay? I had some work done on my snare.
That's all right. It's a personal thing. I won't mention
that anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Probably best.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Coming up next, New York police shoot, kill a knife-wielding
woman who stabbed two people, one fatally, in Times Square's
Times Square.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Where do you hear... By the way, did you know
Times Square is a gun-free zone? It's also a knife-free zone.
A weapon-free zone. They just needed more signs. Bigger signs.
She wouldn't have disobeyed the signs.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
But where do you hear what the cops initially deployed
to stop this woman?
Speaker 9 (29:23):
It is.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
angering to me actually.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
All that's next oh my gosh the bangles did i
get the band right did i get it wrong again.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Yeah this is this is actually the go-go's no i'm
just playing oh.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
My gosh i thought it was right again some help
down here.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Chris Crockett from Michael Del Giorno, your morning show. When
it 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.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So guess what she did?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
She stopped taking it.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
And when the aches returned after stopped taking it, she
realized just how much it had been helping. Now 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. They try it,
it works. Then like we always do once it works,
(30:23):
we stop taking it and start hurting again and realize, boy,
it really does work. Everybody develops their relief factor story.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
You will too. And I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-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.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
$ 17.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
76 for your It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. Hey, Chris.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
You know, what Iran is doing, of course, is exactly
what Germany and Japan did toward the end of World
War II. They should have given up long before they did,
and hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yes, sir. That's accurate. It was done, right?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
However, the thing is, the difference is, that neither of
those two entities were Islamist terrorists who will die for
the cause. Now, you could say that the Japanese, you know, kamikaze. But,
Producer Red, I will give you the floor on this.
(31:39):
Is that the same thing as Islamism? Because it's not.
Islamism is, I mean, if you do these things, you
go to paradise. And if you usher in Iran, they
want to usher in the 12th Imam, meaning the end
of the world, if you will. Any thoughts on that?
Because I know you're a little bit more of a
student of history.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
It's just not the same, though, is it, with radical Islam?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Well, it would have its comparisons, but it's not the same.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right, yeah. I mean, in radical Islam, you know, what
do they say? They blow up so young.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Okay, the knife-wielding woman in New York City, Times Square,
she did not obey the no weapons signs. And she
was shot in a, quote, gun-free Times Square zone following
the knife attack.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Here's the thing that got me.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Now, number one, she randomly attacked a man and a
woman within a 20-second span. Officers found her a block
away behind New York City police station, substation, New York
City PD, NYPD, waving two knives at them. They spoke
to the woman for four minutes, gave her numerous commands
to drop the knives, reports the New York Post, but
she refused.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm not dropping anything. I would rather kill both of you.
I will kill you, she said. Here's where the officers
made a fatal, fatal mistake in my opinion. Thankfully, nothing
fatal literally, but listen.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
You have a woman who has stabbed two people, one fatally,
and she's not dropping the knife. A knife is a
deadly weapon, unequivocally. You do not use a taser on
a deadly weapon. The use of force continuum with officers
(33:42):
is they go above what they're being.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Met with. They don't match you.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
This isn't a fair patty cake game where you go
back and forth playing ping pong.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
The woman had a deadly weapon, a knife. The way
to stop somebody with a knife that's coming for you
and is going to kill you is to shoot them.
You shoot to stop the threat.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
That they literally were trying to do tasers is a
disgrace and it's an indictment on humanity. Zora Mondami and
the anti-police policies of New York City. They discharged several
tasers at Cisneros. The woman, the lady, she proved to
be ineffective. She continued charging at the officers. They opened fire,
(34:23):
striking her. She had a known history of mental illness
with the department. She was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. So,
I mean, I am very, very disappointed. Our officers need
to use their weapons, and I think they're too afraid
to use them properly because of the city they're in.
I'm a born and raised Chicago and a guy born
(34:44):
in the city, raised in the burbs, and I'm a
multi-generational family of law enforcement, two in Chicago police, two
different generations. And people leave that department because they don't
want to go to jail for doing their job, and
that's a very, very serious truth. They have to be
able to do the proper use of force, which is
when somebody comes at you with a knife, you don't
(35:05):
play patty cake. You shoot center mass to stop the threat.
Anybody who says the term shoot to kill, they don't
know what they're talking about. There's no such thing in
law enforcement. Shoot to stop the threat. Center mass.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Let's do the top five stories of the day.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Five, four, three.
Speaker 10 (35:25):
Two, one.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
U.S.-affiliated firm to seize control of Venezuelan oil fields from
the Chinese and Russian companies. That is a very good
thing that came out today. U.S.-affiliated oil company will take
over several oil fields previously controlled by Chinese companies and
a Russian firm, officials say, according to Reuters. Trump orders
shock voter fraud crackdown across nine states as secret ice
(35:48):
blitz starts.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Manana, por favor. Grassy ass.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Donald Trump has ordered Homeland Security to launch a nationwide
voter fraud crackdown targeting key swing states as Republicans brace
for a midterm, brutal midterm fight. ISIS investigative arm will
launch coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative and pursue investigative
leads and conduct field interviews. A jury found Dwayne Keith D.
Davis guilty of orchestrating the 1996 killing of rap icon
(36:17):
Tupac Shakur, finally bringing a measure of resolution to the
case after decades. Supreme Court Monday gave President Trump a
win by allowing him to move forward indefinitely with the
construction of his new White House ballroom. The court, 5-4 divided,
granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration.
