Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like 105.9, 1250, WHNZ
in Tampa, Florida, Newsradio 570, WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and
Newsradio 1000, KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning. And of course,
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy. One, two, three.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Because...
We're in this together. This is your.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It sure is. And Mark Larson in for Mr. DelGiorno,
who's back on Monday. Monday is going to be the
Dolly Parton special, which is so well done and deserves
a replay. And that'll happen on Monday at Labor Day.
And then he's back here live on your morning show,
your station. wherever you happen to be across America. So
(00:57):
happy to be here for Michael Mark Larson, based in
San Diego, where we love California. And I grew up
in the Midwest. I grew up in Rockford, Illinois, but
moved in covered wagons, newly married 50 years ago. We
had kids, and they have kids, and I love California.
Hate how it's being run. That's a whole separate show.
(01:18):
Talking a lot about, obviously, the big stories here, as
we always do on your morning show, as Michael does
so well. the Lindsay Clancy case, that's kind of the undercurrent.
What's going to happen to it? Probably a mistrial. A
lot of comments on that on the talkback, and you
know how to use that, that red microphone button, named
after our own red. Nice honor. Do you get residuals often?
(01:42):
The red microphone. Well, that would be a big no.
Just checking. I don't see if there's a new stream
of revenue there somewhere, because, you know, These are the
days in which we live in the world of media.
Rory O'Neill is going to join us in a second.
But I want to go to this talk back. And
it cut out a little bit at the beginning. It's
from Becky. W-M-A-N, is that right?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Which is weird because I kept saying I want to
hear from a woman. And W-M-A-N. W-Man. What are the chances? Anyway,
so she was starting to talk about this issue. A
lot of the talk, and again, guys, you know, obviously
we're not women. But she's addressing this idea that if
the kids are out of line, do you suddenly go to,
(02:29):
I think I'll kill the kids? That's the heart of
this whole issue. So here's what Becky said, a little
bit in progress when we picked up the talk back. Yeah,
I think she said that her baby was crying a lot. Oh, yeah,
her baby was crying a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
She never slept for more than 20 minutes. One morning,
I thought if I put the pillow over her head,
she will stop crying. The difference between sane and insane
is the second thought was, oh, but then she'll die,
and I'll spend the rest of my life crying, and
I didn't hurt her, and now she's a beautiful 25-year-old.
I still don't believe that this woman is insane because those.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Children fought her. A 5-year-old fought her. Mm-hmm. And that's
the heart of that whole story. So we'll watch that
as it unfolds today. Covering everything else is the legendary
national correspondent. You know him, you love him, Rory O'Neill. Rory,
good to talk with you here. And, boy, J.D. Vance,
suddenly he's back in the news with that press conference.
(03:29):
Was that surprising? And most people saying, well, gee, he
lost a lot of weight. I guess that's the takeaway.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That was one of the questions that was asked of him.
Steve Ducey at Fox asked him about his weight loss.
And the VP said it was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
giving him the advice on how to lose weight, what
to eat. He said he eats a lot more sauerkraut
these days. And as the VP quipped, he's like, if
you want to lose weight, talk to Bobby Kennedy. If
you want to have a diet you enjoy, don't talk
(03:58):
to Bobby Kennedy. So it sounds like the vice president
is begrudgingly on this diet.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, it's fermented cabbage and all that kind of stuff,
and I guess some assorted roadkill.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I don't want to be stuck on Air Force Two
with a guy eating a lot of sauerkraut, though. I'm
just going to tell you right now, that may not
be the best flight experience. But yeah, the running joke
was that Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And a lot of them, a lot of the people
within the administration apparently are on that same diet. So
this could be not just one with exhaust, if you will.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, but some had feared that Marco Rubio would get
another job. But no, this one went to J.D. Vance.
He's doing, I don't think we'll see this all the time,
but he certainly did a good job of laying out
the administration's viewpoints on a broad range of issues, especially
as it relates to the economy and to Iran. He
was also asked about Data centers, Tucker Carlson, and gosh,
(04:53):
the list seems to go on and on. And it's
good practice for him, you know, if, as we believe,
he's going to be hitting the campaign trail himself probably
in just a matter of months.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It kind of seems like he's already on that trail,
which I know comes with the gig, right? And you
even have Ted Cruz out there. Ted makes no, he
doesn't try to hide the fact he'd love to be
president as well, because he did a little bit of
a jab or two toward Vance, right? So it's interesting
watching that dynamic.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, it's already starting. It's like horses at the gate,
raring to go, right? And they can't wait for the
midterms to get beyond them so that they can really
focus on full campaign mode for 2028. They may be
loving this. I'm not sure about the rest of us
out here who would love to maybe have a break
from politics just for a little while.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, and that was interesting. That was the first press
briefing since, what, July, right? and vance takes yeah and
still the quite well and and compared to the previous
administration weren't there uh there were many months that would
pass so it's not like there's a shortage of updates
from all things trump well.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah 40 days since a white house press room briefing
but you know you get actually to talk to the
president twice a day most times yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Uh about the uh The drama with Maria Bartiromo over
at Fox and the heavier, the two rumors, as you know, Rory,
are that she was maybe leaking some internal communications to
the president, which would be a no-no. But then there's
also the, I think, bigger rumor that maybe she's going
to be getting the press secretary gig. Is that a thing?
(06:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, I don't think we could afford her to be
the press secretary, and I don't think she'd take the
pay cut either. But the fact that she wasn't allowed
to say goodbyes is a bit of a red flag.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What's the current betting? Not that there's actual betting going on.
We'd never have that in the White House. There is.
What's the horse race for that job for the press?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
It's been all over the map. Some other press people
from within the office to people like Scott Jennings, the
commentator over at CNN. Yeah, it's been broad, to say
the least.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, we're going to talk more about the weekend travel
with you later on here, but obviously... gas prices, everything
else have to do with what's going on in Iran.
It's been a weird week where it's starting to feel
like deja vu, you know, where it's like, okay, we're
going to have a stern warning and then we're going
to talk some more and then we're going to hit
them hard. And then it goes back and forth. You know,
(07:25):
I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I feel like, okay,
we just get this over.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I mean, this show is a repeat from, from May.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So that's all right. Hey, Mark.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We'll talk to you in a few hours.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Thank you. There's Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent. Yeah, obviously
this weekend, you're feeling at the gas pump in some
states more than others. But that's obviously part of what's
going on with Iran as well. But at any rate,
we'll get into the top five stories coming up here
as well on your morning show. Love to hear from you.
(07:58):
The red talkback mic and the iHeartRadio app is where
you go. Also, later on, speaking of travel, I'll get
to this Washington Post piece. Not that I like quoting
the Post. because normally we know where they are editorial-wise.
But once in a while, there's some surprises. They've done
a one-star review roundup of pretty much the most torturous
(08:21):
airports in America. So you may be traveling through some
of them. We will elaborate on that in a bit
as well. It's Mark Larson in for Michael DelGiorno on
your morning show. Love to hear from you, because after all,
it's your show. So hit that red talkback, Mike. And
you have up to 30 seconds to be eloquent or not.
Either way, we love you.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
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. So guess what she did? She
stopped taking it. And when the aches returned after stop
taking it, she realized just how much it had been helping.
(09:04):
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.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They try it. It works.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
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 (09:28):
You will too. And I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
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 4 (09:44):
$ 17.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
76 for your three-week quick start supply of Relief Factor. Relieffactor.com, 1-800-4-RELIEF.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chono.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And Mark Larson in. for Michael today. Michael's back next week.
Happy edge of the Labor Day weekend to you. Talking
about a lot of things, including in the top five
stories of the day, the Lindsay Clancy case. I know,
been going on forever, but today may be a mistrial
day because they're back at it again. And then what happens? Well,
(10:21):
she'll be in protective custody in the mental facility, and
they will try it again. Unless somehow this one holdout
juror has a moment overnight, and they are all unanimous.
But it's not looking like that. Here's a talkback. You
(10:43):
know how this works on your morning show here. Michael
DelGiorno is away. Mark Larson here. You just hit the
red talkback, Mike. But here's another. Actually, this theory from
our listener in Youngstown, Ohio, listening on WKBN. This actually
is very poignant as to because there are people say,
let's just be done. She had it was the meds.
(11:05):
It's just let her go. Well, then there's this talkback.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Part of Lindsay's story is not new, though. Look up
Constance Fisher. She killed her three kids, was committed to
a mental institution, released after five years, had three more
children that she also killed. Have the proven beyond a
doubt that Lindsay will not repeat her actions. That's what
the jurors need to think of. Will she do this again?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I don't know. I don't have all the information, but
they do. And I hope they make the right choice. Yeah.
And we're not the jurors, obviously. We're also not the
prosecuting attorney or the defense. But that's an interesting point.
That's right up there, Red, with what your theory was earlier. Well,
illustrating in the movie, you cited Richard Gere and Ed
(11:50):
Norton about how these attorneys handle it. But this whole recidivism,
I mean, that's a ghastly bit of recidivism. But I'd
forgotten about the story that you referenced. But that's kind
of like sexually violent predators who you can never really reprogram.
It's a different set of wiring, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
How are you ever supposed, how's a doctor ever supposed
to clear her if the voices can come back again
at any given moment? I mean, that just, especially if
she ever has, could have, I don't even know if
she can anymore because she was paralyzed, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Know what the deal is. And let's say that at
some point she's out back to whatever. Obviously not going
to be with the husband. I mean, that would be weird. But,
you know, there's always, if you think that forward, it
also sounds like a bad movie. Who would, if she
(12:48):
wanted to get married again, who would take that assignment?
I mean, you talk about walking over a trap door. Oh,
I bet you there's tons of people. Oh, there probably are.
That would take that.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
There's probably a dating app site for stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Oh, man. Oh, I didn't want to think about that.
But there probably, it's like, again, Luigi Mangione, the guy who...
killed in cold blood, the insurance exec, and he suddenly
was the heartthrob. He's never heard of felony mingle? Is
that the ad? You ought to trademark that before somebody
(13:26):
gets it. Keep it off the street. So that's a
big story today.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
J.D.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Vance, we talked about that with Rory. One of the
things that came out, one of the big takeaways this week,
other than, hey, he lost a lot of weight, and
he says it's on the RFK diet. Apparently not Ozempic,
so that was different. But he was, what did he
say the other day about Abdul El-Sayed, the Senate candidate
(13:51):
in Michigan, who has been bad-mouthing J.D. Vance's wife? And
how did he say it? Vance said, keep my wife's
name out of your mouth. And if that wasn't enough,
his mom has chimed in. Is her name Beverly? Beverly.
(14:15):
And so she decided to make sure people heard from mom,
who is quite the character. This is mom, not the mamaw, right?
This is the... This is the mom. This is the mom.
And she's quite an interesting person on all fronts. But
how did she say that, Brad? It was a matter of,
(14:36):
she wouldn't just do some theorizing there. She'd just basically
kick his, you know.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
She'd probably punch him if he came down.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Which would make great television. I wouldn't put it past her.
The whole thing reminded me of the Will Smith, Chris
Rock thing. The only thing missing was J.D. Van Slapp
and Mondami. Well, that would be, again... Now we're talking entertainment. See,
even Trump would like that. That's right.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So, and, you know, like we were mentioning earlier with
Rory O'Neill that, like it or not, yeah, midterms are
coming up, but the 28 sweepstakes are out there because
even Ted Cruz is now taking a jab or two
at J.D. Vance because, you know, the presumption is J.D.
would be the guy. even though Trump will keep saying
(15:27):
he wants to run for a third term just to
patrol people who he can mess with, with whom he
can mess, for the grammar police. Iran's still a big deal,
especially when you're pumping gas and realizing how much more
expensive it is for you than it was before, what,
six and a half months ago. So we're watching that
(15:49):
story in your top five today. And, of course, Labor
Day travel, because let's face it, show of hands, Did
you start vacation like day before yesterday? Americans take vacation
mentally a couple of days before actually going on a
holiday weekend or what have you. In fact, the great
(16:11):
John Coleman, who was one of the founders of the
Weather Channel, he used to say, God rest him, that
he thinks that Americans think really, really hard about work
on Wednesdays. Now, this is not even when there's a
holiday or vacation in the mix. because Monday and Tuesday,
you're talking at the office or wherever, hey, what'd you
do last weekend? Yeah, we did this. And then Wednesday,
(16:33):
it's like, oh, that's right, I have a job. And Wednesday,
you follow this theory. You probably get more assignments at
work or within your work environment on Wednesdays from everybody else.
So it kind of makes that theory. Thursday and Friday,
you're talking about, hey, what are you gonna do this weekend?
This is what the U.S. Senate does. There have been
studies done. The U.S. Senate has, only actually works when
(16:57):
they're not out for weeks and breaks like they are now.
2.5 days a week. You got the travel coming and going.
So I think we're onto something with that. If you
are traveling this weekend, we have the definitive, I think
this is pretty good, the list of the most torturous
(17:20):
airports in America. There's a couple of international ones too,
but I think we ran this up the staff flagpole
here and we're all in agreement here. And it's from
the Washington Post, which I know is surprising because it's
entertaining and factual. So we'll explore that with you. Coming up,
(17:41):
I'd love to hear from you on our top stories
of the day. This is Paul David Patterson down in
Toledo District, Belize. And my morning show is your morning
show with Michael Beljourno. Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
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 (18:14):
Morning, Cliff from Missouri. Scuttlebutt. It's an old Navy term.
It was a water barrel on the ship's deck where
everybody would gather around to drink their water, and it
was called the scuttlebutt. So they would sit around and.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Gossip and talk about the things of the ship, and
therefore it was called scuttlebutt.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Aha. Your morning show, obviously. Michael DelGiorno off today, Mark
Larson sitting in, and thanks for that clip. And if
you're saying, why are we talking scuttlebutt? Well, because earlier
on the show we said Maria Bartiromo, one of the
big stories, is out just suddenly at Fox News. And
there are rumors maybe she's going to work for the
White House, but Rory O'Neill said it would be a
(18:54):
pay cut for her to be press secretary. But the
scuttlebutt is that she could have been giving internal Fox
information to the president of the United States, whose name
is Donald J.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You may know the name. He's hardly ever in the news.
But at any rate, that's how we got into scuttlebutt.
So it's kind of a... I just felt good to
bring up an archaic word. And Cliff in Missouri and
Missouri knew the whole thing. Gave us the background. This
is why this audience is so great. Because we can
(19:28):
come in here like every other talk show in America.
And this is why I love how Michael has framed
this and why it's so successful across the nation. We
can come in and tell you what we think or
set our hair on fire and, you know, scream and
holler on one side or another. This is kind of like, again,
your morning show and we mean it. which I love.
It is like we're talking around the table or whatever.
(19:49):
Politicians always talk about that. You know, when you get
down to the kitchen table, most of them don't even
know where their kitchen table is. But they love the theory, right?
The kitchen table, okay. But this is really what it is.
So just go to that red talkback. Mike, and you
have 30 seconds to leave us your thoughts. A couple
(20:10):
more on the Lindsay Clancy case, which, again, today, it's
still happening. We're talking about, you know, could she ever
be rehabilitated? Chances are it's going to be a mistrial.
Then they'll do it all over again. Then they'll have
to find another jury. And with this being such a
red-hot story, then.
(20:32):
How do you find an impartial jury unless you go
to some other planet at some point? And I still
don't understand why this jury was not sequestered. That's a
whole separate part of it. We have a couple of comments,
and let's go to Blaine in Idaho.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
It seems to me, and you can look this up somewhere,
recidivism is only after you've been incarcerated, or is it constant?
It would be serial if they were never incarcerated. But
serial killers do not rehabilitate. Just like everybody says, everybody's seen,
mass murderers do not rehabilitate either. And if they kill themselves,
that's when they stop. Ted Bundy didn't stop until he
(21:08):
was stopped.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Now, see, that's why the audience knows the depth of
all this. You're right. Recidivism, that's a fancy word for,
you know, you do time, you're released. And it's always
been like 75% or so. The recidivist rate where you're
likely to be back in jail. or either the same
(21:33):
thing or something else within a year on your release.
So that's recidivism. But he has a good point on
the serial killer stuff. We had another, our concerned listener, Becky,
earlier in the show, and she's talking about how a
real-life case where a mother did it again. She killed
(21:55):
her kids, and then she's back to normal life until
it wasn't normal again, and there were more deaths. So
So that's a big question with Lindsey Clancy. And maybe
that's why there's been the one holdout juror that can't
join the rest unanimously. Is that the issue or you
flip it? Maybe it's the other side of it. And
(22:18):
in the middle of that, how do defense attorneys defend
what seems to be indefensible sometimes? That's a whole separate show.
We also have Russ Higgins. KFYI in Phoenix.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
What happens if the voices tell her to wipe out
an orphanage or children's school?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh, well, such goes the judges. Well, let's get a
whole different theme show of the judges. But we'll see.
We're predicting here. I know, Red, you think it's going
to be a mistrial and they're going to show up
today and just be done. So either way, she's not
going to walk free and they're going to file again
(23:00):
and it'll be covered on television wall to wall again
we shall see um we have roger in sacramento listening
on kste uh he like me i'm in san diego
mark larson and for michael on your morning show but
uh with travel weekend everybody talking about gas prices so
uh Roger has some theories about that, as we all enjoy. Morning, Mr. Larson,
(23:25):
Jeffrey and Red.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
You talked a little bit about gas prices, and people
never add for inflation. Example, July 2008 with inflation would
be $ 6. 24.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
June 2011, $ 5.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
87.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And even June of 2022, $ 5.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
65.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
The sad part is, since 2011, inflation's been 48%.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, there's that. And of course, he's in California. I
am as well. So we think it's a deal. But
like yesterday, I got unleaded for $ 5.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
48.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
It's like, that's a great price. Well, California has about
a buck and a half per gallon to give us
all the wonderful restrictions we have there. I could tell
you're Regular unleaded? Regular unleaded? Five, whatever? Well, you can
(24:22):
get it for $ 5. 28 some places, and sometimes a little more. Actually,
the Native American reservations where they have casinos, that and Costco,
you're going to get a better deal. But it's still
about a buck and a half more than anywhere else
in America. Do they have taxes on the reservations there?
They have no taxes, right? No, that's why there's a
(24:44):
benefit there.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
But the temptation is so great. The politicians are probably
taking down your license plates going there.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, probably. That's absolutely right. And of course, Gavin Newsom
flat out has refused. He's not subtle about it. Just,
you know, he's not going to back off, give a
little tax holiday. Even J.B. Pritzker in Illinois for a
time during, I think it was COVID season two or three,
you know, worst miniseries in history, COVID. Somewhere in the
(25:12):
middle of that, even J.B. Pritzker who's just a heavier
version of Gavin Newsom, I think he relieved maybe 50-some
cents per gallon for a while. And he had stickers
put on all the gas pumps back there saying, look
what I did. I mean, there's politicians, especially in Illinois,
and you know this, and I was born back there,
(25:32):
back to Richard J. Daley. It's all about putting your
name on anything. It'd be like trash can at O'Hare,
Richard J. Daley, mayor. And they finally... changed that. Like
when you go in to Illinois from other states, it
would say, welcome to the land of Lincoln. And it
would say, you know, Bob Squat, governor. He was a
(25:54):
great governor, by the way, Bob Squat. But they finally said...
They put a sticker of J.D. Pritzker on the pump? Well,
it wasn't a picture, but it was a thing that
gave him credit for, you know, we're giving you relief
for like 50-some cents in this crisis. you're welcome, J.B. Pritzker,
something like that. But it stood out.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Because if it was his picture, it would have covered
the price, I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I see what you're saying there. Rimshot Friday, it's a
new feature. Michael's going to love that when he gets back.
If you are traveling, and much of this I'll save
for after the break, but you say, okay, we're going
to go fly somewhere this weekend. And, of course, flying
is more expensive. because the fuel is more expensive. It
(26:45):
comes back to Iran, all of that. But the Washington
Post has done what I think is the most enjoyable,
maybe the only enjoyable thing I've seen in the Washington
Post in a long time. It's headlined, One Star Reviews
of Airports. Feels like psychological torture. Travelers venting about confusing layouts,
(27:08):
surly staff, paltry dining choices, and rodents. Well, of course,
the rodents have a right to travel. Andrea Sachs writes
this story, and the comments are spot on. I think
we agree. When's the last time we said we agreed
with anything wholeheartedly in the Washington Post? Like ever? Has
that ever happened?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I've only not been to two of those airports on
that list, and I agree with every single thing they said.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, we're going to have the list here in case
you're going. We'll prepare you. Some airports, we can't get
away fast enough. Though essentially transportation hubs, airports have more
responsibilities than simply flying passengers in and out like cargo. Well,
I'm not sure if the airports and sometimes the airlines
know that. You know, after we're coming up on the
(27:59):
25th anniversary of 9-11 next week, that's when everything started
to change. You know, people would, that's when airlines started
cutting out certain food, even back in steerage. In that section,
be like, sit down. We're in a war on terror.
Sit down. Don't use anything sharp. And here's your peanuts.
And we can't give you peanuts either because somebody's going
(28:21):
to have an allergy issue. So, yeah, so transportation hubs,
airports have more responsibilities than simply flying passengers in and
out like cargo, she writes. They need to provide us
with food and drinks, diversions such as shopping and play
areas for kids, and basic necessities, including clean bathrooms, well,
and functioning device charging stations. The layout must be easy
(28:44):
to navigate and not require an electrolyte infusion to walk
from the security checkpoint to the gate. For airports that
fail in this regard, we can't boycott them as we
would a substandard hotel or restaurant facility. We need them,
especially if they're most convenient or cheapest option to our
final destination. We can, however, vent, and a lot of
(29:05):
people did. And I bet your least favorite airport is
on the list. So as a public service, after the break,
we will share. And you can break into small groups
and discuss. You can hit that red microphone button named
after Owen Redd on the iHeartRadio app. Mark Larson in
for Michael DiGiorno on your morning show. Back in a minute.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
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 (29:41):
Why?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
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 3 (30:29):
It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Good morning, Mark. Thank you so much for filling in
for Michael. You are such a pro.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I'd like to see a study of all these people
who make heroes out of these villains.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Like Lindsay and Luigi.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Going back, even the people on the side of the
freeway when during the OJ's Bronco chase, 10,000 people who
went to the funeral of Bonnie and Clyde.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
That is such a pathology. I would really like to
see it explained. That's good thinking there, Mary. And by
the way, thanks for the pro comment, because both Red
and Jeff were shocked. I'm shocked. We'll dumb you down.
We promise. Well, thank you. We are guaranteed human. At
(31:14):
any rate, yeah, that's a weird, I don't get that.
It's like, yeah, the Luigi Mangione thing and all that.
It happened with the, remember the Boston Bombers, the Marathon Bombers?
Same kind of thing. on the front page of the
front cover of Rolling Stone. And suddenly it's like, I just,
there's always somebody there. I'd love to turn that person around. And,
you know, they're misunderstood. So maybe, maybe that person won't
(31:37):
kill me if I have a relationship.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Here's a question for you, Mark, though. Do you remember
any women? This is a women and women thing here,
but usually it's a male killer and women flocking to
the man. Can you ever think of a woman killer
and the men flocking to a woman?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I can't. Well, except maybe the Manson family. Some of
those characters under Charles Manson were... were attractive young sixties women.
And I think some of them, Leslie Van Houten, some
of those, I think they had a following, but other
than that, you're right. I don't, I can't, you know,
somebody who just right up there and a major heartthrob.
(32:21):
So maybe it's a gender based deal. Uh, we have
one other comment. I want to go to this from
Kevin in Sacramento, KSTE, um, a little harsh, but on
the whole Lindsay Clancy case, um, Here's his thought. My
thoughts on this woman that strangled her three kids, they
ought to just put her down. If she did have a.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Temporary mental lapse, then it's a kindness saving her from
grieving over her children the rest.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Of her life.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
If it was murder, it's justice.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Either way, society wins.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
That's pretty pointed. You know, as harsh as that is,
I bet a lot of people think that because you
kind of look at this, it's like, okay, but that's
not going to happen. She's not going to have a
death penalty thing because you've got the other defense. Little intense,
but I'm sure that's not the only person thinking that way.
But we'll see. Maybe mistrial today and then they do
(33:16):
it all over again. On the lighter side, if you're
trying to travel anywhere, this piece from the Washington Post
is hilarious. And I don't think we have any problem
with any of these choices. One star airport experiences. This
is based on.
Looking at a bunch of platforms, people just complaining on
social media about their airport experience. Here's one, JFK in
(33:42):
New York. New York, it's the chicken, parm, and pittle
is the subhead. There were no decent restaurants. This is
somebody from Irvine, California, traveling just a few weeks ago.
jfk no decent restaurants open as a matter of fact
most of them closed or under renovation one restaurant the
palm well that's pretty fancy had a 46 chicken parmesan
(34:05):
the restrooms were dirty and had urine on the seats
and toilet paper on the floor well there's customer service
um it says thanks so much customer service wish you
existed i want to go home and i can't even
fly out of this airport um Anna and Buffalo traveling
through JFK. Why in the middle of the night do
they play super loud, obnoxious music? The lights are bright everywhere.
(34:28):
All the seats are extremely uncomfortable. Terminal five, like a
torture machine, but enjoy your fun. You have a lot
of choices when you travel. How about Denver international on
another planet? I think we, how many guys, every experience
I've had in Denver, as opposed to the old airport,
old Stapleton that used to be there, but, but, They
(34:49):
build it out where it's like Tornado Alley, for one thing.
And if you ever.
Here's a rule of thumb. If you're connecting through Denver
and O'Hare and Chicago, don't. Find some other way to
route around that, especially during inclement weather. Let's see. One
of the comments out of Sarah in St. Louis about
Denver International. Should I say the Galaxy Airport, two hours
(35:12):
from downtown... Because they may have, well, built it on Mars.
I'm convinced this place was designed by people who hate convenience.
Jeff in San Francisco traveling through there said this is
the reason AI will take over the human race. I
was stuck there one time with all the trains you
have to take. They're always shutting down. My experience was
United through Denver is the worst. Now, that's just my experience.
(35:36):
You may love United. Mark Larson for Michael DelGiorno. Washington
Dulles stuck in 1962. That's another one on this list
of one-star airports. John in Pennsylvania commented on social media,
Dulles opened November 17, 1962. Proud to still be 1963 state-of-the-art.
(35:58):
Excuse me while I juggle my luggage while walking next
to the always broken moving walkway. Oh, that's true. Alyssa
in Vienna, Virginia. So right down the road. What an unbelievable,
unmitigated dump. It's unreal to think this is in our
nation's capital area. And you got a whole between there
and Reagan National, which is much better and more convenient.
(36:18):
But members of Congress who. by the way, work for us.
And this is a surprise to them. They travel in
and out of these airports all the time. Why they
haven't fixed it beats me. How about, uh, Los Angeles
LAX feels like psychological torture. Now I'm in San Diego.
So I know San Diego has got some new terminals.
I like that LAX, not so much. Um, someone from
(36:41):
California said, I previously gave it two stars out of
the kindness of my heart, but now one star, uh,
which I think is still too generous. Um, Cleveland Airport,
floors too gross for roller bags. Well, that never fails
to have the filthiest bathrooms. Well, they're number one. And
apparently number two. One star for Auntie Anne's. I don't
(37:07):
think anybody disagrees. We'll touch on a few more of these,
but they're gems. Anyone disagree? Red, Jeff, so far so good, right?
So far so good, yeah. Pretty much perfect.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
I have connected through Denver God knows how many times.
It's always an adventure. Which you should talk about later.
It's number one on my list.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Miami International designed by a messy baby. It's Mark Larson
in for Michael on Your Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
with Michael DelGiorno.
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like 105.9, 1250, WHNZ
in Tampa, Florida, Newsradio 570, WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and
Newsradio 1000, KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning. And of course,
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy. One, two, three.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Because...
We're in this together. This is your.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It sure is. And Mark Larson in for Mr. DelGiorno,
who's back on Monday. Monday is going to be the
Dolly Parton special, which is so well done and deserves
a replay. And that'll happen on Monday at Labor Day.
And then he's back here live on your morning show,
your station. wherever you happen to be across America. So
(00:57):
happy to be here for Michael Mark Larson, based in
San Diego, where we love California. And I grew up
in the Midwest. I grew up in Rockford, Illinois, but
moved in covered wagons, newly married 50 years ago. We
had kids, and they have kids, and I love California.
Hate how it's being run. That's a whole separate show.
(01:18):
Talking a lot about, obviously, the big stories here, as
we always do on your morning show, as Michael does
so well. the Lindsay Clancy case, that's kind of the undercurrent.
What's going to happen to it? Probably a mistrial. A
lot of comments on that on the talkback, and you
know how to use that, that red microphone button, named
after our own red. Nice honor. Do you get residuals often?
(01:42):
The red microphone. Well, that would be a big no.
Just checking. I don't see if there's a new stream
of revenue there somewhere, because, you know, These are the
days in which we live in the world of media.
Rory O'Neill is going to join us in a second.
But I want to go to this talk back. And
it cut out a little bit at the beginning. It's
from Becky. W-M-A-N, is that right?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Which is weird because I kept saying I want to
hear from a woman. And W-M-A-N. W-Man. What are the chances? Anyway,
so she was starting to talk about this issue. A
lot of the talk, and again, guys, you know, obviously
we're not women. But she's addressing this idea that if
the kids are out of line, do you suddenly go to,
(02:29):
I think I'll kill the kids? That's the heart of
this whole issue. So here's what Becky said, a little
bit in progress when we picked up the talk back. Yeah,
I think she said that her baby was crying a lot. Oh, yeah,
her baby was crying a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
She never slept for more than 20 minutes. One morning,
I thought if I put the pillow over her head,
she will stop crying. The difference between sane and insane
is the second thought was, oh, but then she'll die,
and I'll spend the rest of my life crying, and
I didn't hurt her, and now she's a beautiful 25-year-old.
I still don't believe that this woman is insane because those.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Children fought her. A 5-year-old fought her. Mm-hmm. And that's
the heart of that whole story. So we'll watch that
as it unfolds today. Covering everything else is the legendary
national correspondent. You know him, you love him, Rory O'Neill. Rory,
good to talk with you here. And, boy, J.D. Vance,
suddenly he's back in the news with that press conference.
(03:29):
Was that surprising? And most people saying, well, gee, he
lost a lot of weight. I guess that's the takeaway.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
That was one of the questions that was asked of him.
Steve Ducey at Fox asked him about his weight loss.
And the VP said it was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
giving him the advice on how to lose weight, what
to eat. He said he eats a lot more sauerkraut
these days. And as the VP quipped, he's like, if
you want to lose weight, talk to Bobby Kennedy. If
you want to have a diet you enjoy, don't talk
(03:58):
to Bobby Kennedy. So it sounds like the vice president
is begrudgingly on this diet.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, it's fermented cabbage and all that kind of stuff,
and I guess some assorted roadkill.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I don't want to be stuck on Air Force Two
with a guy eating a lot of sauerkraut, though. I'm
just going to tell you right now, that may not
be the best flight experience. But yeah, the running joke
was that Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And a lot of them, a lot of the people
within the administration apparently are on that same diet. So
this could be not just one with exhaust, if you will.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, but some had feared that Marco Rubio would get
another job. But no, this one went to J.D. Vance.
He's doing, I don't think we'll see this all the time,
but he certainly did a good job of laying out
the administration's viewpoints on a broad range of issues, especially
as it relates to the economy and to Iran. He
was also asked about Data centers, Tucker Carlson, and gosh,
(04:53):
the list seems to go on and on. And it's
good practice for him, you know, if, as we believe,
he's going to be hitting the campaign trail himself probably
in just a matter of months.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It kind of seems like he's already on that trail,
which I know comes with the gig, right? And you
even have Ted Cruz out there. Ted makes no, he
doesn't try to hide the fact he'd love to be
president as well, because he did a little bit of
a jab or two toward Vance, right? So it's interesting
watching that dynamic.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, it's already starting. It's like horses at the gate,
raring to go, right? And they can't wait for the
midterms to get beyond them so that they can really
focus on full campaign mode for 2028. They may be
loving this. I'm not sure about the rest of us
out here who would love to maybe have a break
from politics just for a little while.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, and that was interesting. That was the first press
briefing since, what, July, right? and vance takes yeah and
still the quite well and and compared to the previous
administration weren't there uh there were many months that would
pass so it's not like there's a shortage of updates
from all things trump well.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah 40 days since a white house press room briefing
but you know you get actually to talk to the
president twice a day most times yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Uh about the uh The drama with Maria Bartiromo over
at Fox and the heavier, the two rumors, as you know, Rory,
are that she was maybe leaking some internal communications to
the president, which would be a no-no. But then there's
also the, I think, bigger rumor that maybe she's going
to be getting the press secretary gig. Is that a thing?
(06:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, I don't think we could afford her to be
the press secretary, and I don't think she'd take the
pay cut either. But the fact that she wasn't allowed
to say goodbyes is a bit of a red flag.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What's the current betting? Not that there's actual betting going on.
We'd never have that in the White House. There is.
What's the horse race for that job for the press?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
It's been all over the map. Some other press people
from within the office to people like Scott Jennings, the
commentator over at CNN. Yeah, it's been broad, to say
the least.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, we're going to talk more about the weekend travel
with you later on here, but obviously... gas prices, everything
else have to do with what's going on in Iran.
It's been a weird week where it's starting to feel
like deja vu, you know, where it's like, okay, we're
going to have a stern warning and then we're going
to talk some more and then we're going to hit
them hard. And then it goes back and forth. You know,
(07:25):
I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I feel like, okay,
we just get this over.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I mean, this show is a repeat from, from May.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So that's all right. Hey, Mark.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We'll talk to you in a few hours.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Thank you. There's Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent. Yeah, obviously
this weekend, you're feeling at the gas pump in some
states more than others. But that's obviously part of what's
going on with Iran as well. But at any rate,
we'll get into the top five stories coming up here
as well on your morning show. Love to hear from you.
(07:58):
The red talkback mic and the iHeartRadio app is where
you go. Also, later on, speaking of travel, I'll get
to this Washington Post piece. Not that I like quoting
the Post. because normally we know where they are editorial-wise.
But once in a while, there's some surprises. They've done
a one-star review roundup of pretty much the most torturous
(08:21):
airports in America. So you may be traveling through some
of them. We will elaborate on that in a bit
as well. It's Mark Larson in for Michael DelGiorno on
your morning show. Love to hear from you, because after all,
it's your show. So hit that red talkback, Mike. And
you have up to 30 seconds to be eloquent or not.
Either way, we love you.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
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. So guess what she did? She
stopped taking it. And when the aches returned after stop
taking it, she realized just how much it had been helping.
(09:04):
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.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They try it. It works.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
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 (09:28):
You will too. And I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
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 4 (09:44):
$ 17.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
76 for your three-week quick start supply of Relief Factor. Relieffactor.com, 1-800-4-RELIEF.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chono.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And Mark Larson in. for Michael today. Michael's back next week.
Happy edge of the Labor Day weekend to you. Talking
about a lot of things, including in the top five
stories of the day, the Lindsay Clancy case. I know,
been going on forever, but today may be a mistrial
day because they're back at it again. And then what happens? Well,
(10:21):
she'll be in protective custody in the mental facility, and
they will try it again. Unless somehow this one holdout
juror has a moment overnight, and they are all unanimous.
But it's not looking like that. Here's a talkback. You
(10:43):
know how this works on your morning show here. Michael
DelGiorno is away. Mark Larson here. You just hit the
red talkback, Mike. But here's another. Actually, this theory from
our listener in Youngstown, Ohio, listening on WKBN. This actually
is very poignant as to because there are people say,
let's just be done. She had it was the meds.
(11:05):
It's just let her go. Well, then there's this talkback.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Part of Lindsay's story is not new, though. Look up
Constance Fisher. She killed her three kids, was committed to
a mental institution, released after five years, had three more
children that she also killed. Have the proven beyond a
doubt that Lindsay will not repeat her actions. That's what
the jurors need to think of. Will she do this again?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I don't know. I don't have all the information, but
they do. And I hope they make the right choice. Yeah.
And we're not the jurors, obviously. We're also not the
prosecuting attorney or the defense. But that's an interesting point.
That's right up there, Red, with what your theory was earlier. Well,
illustrating in the movie, you cited Richard Gere and Ed
(11:50):
Norton about how these attorneys handle it. But this whole recidivism,
I mean, that's a ghastly bit of recidivism. But I'd
forgotten about the story that you referenced. But that's kind
of like sexually violent predators who you can never really reprogram.
It's a different set of wiring, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
How are you ever supposed, how's a doctor ever supposed
to clear her if the voices can come back again
at any given moment? I mean, that just, especially if
she ever has, could have, I don't even know if
she can anymore because she was paralyzed, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Know what the deal is. And let's say that at
some point she's out back to whatever. Obviously not going
to be with the husband. I mean, that would be weird. But,
you know, there's always, if you think that forward, it
also sounds like a bad movie. Who would, if she
(12:48):
wanted to get married again, who would take that assignment?
I mean, you talk about walking over a trap door. Oh,
I bet you there's tons of people. Oh, there probably are.
That would take that.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
There's probably a dating app site for stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Oh, man. Oh, I didn't want to think about that.
But there probably, it's like, again, Luigi Mangione, the guy who...
killed in cold blood, the insurance exec, and he suddenly
was the heartthrob. He's never heard of felony mingle? Is
that the ad? You ought to trademark that before somebody
(13:26):
gets it. Keep it off the street. So that's a
big story today.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
J.D.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Vance, we talked about that with Rory. One of the
things that came out, one of the big takeaways this week,
other than, hey, he lost a lot of weight, and
he says it's on the RFK diet. Apparently not Ozempic,
so that was different. But he was, what did he
say the other day about Abdul El-Sayed, the Senate candidate
(13:51):
in Michigan, who has been bad-mouthing J.D. Vance's wife? And
how did he say it? Vance said, keep my wife's
name out of your mouth. And if that wasn't enough,
his mom has chimed in. Is her name Beverly? Beverly.
(14:15):
And so she decided to make sure people heard from mom,
who is quite the character. This is mom, not the mamaw, right?
This is the... This is the mom. This is the mom.
And she's quite an interesting person on all fronts. But
how did she say that, Brad? It was a matter of,
(14:36):
she wouldn't just do some theorizing there. She'd just basically
kick his, you know.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
She'd probably punch him if he came down.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Which would make great television. I wouldn't put it past her.
The whole thing reminded me of the Will Smith, Chris
Rock thing. The only thing missing was J.D. Van Slapp
and Mondami. Well, that would be, again... Now we're talking entertainment. See,
even Trump would like that. That's right.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So, and, you know, like we were mentioning earlier with
Rory O'Neill that, like it or not, yeah, midterms are
coming up, but the 28 sweepstakes are out there because
even Ted Cruz is now taking a jab or two
at J.D. Vance because, you know, the presumption is J.D.
would be the guy. even though Trump will keep saying
(15:27):
he wants to run for a third term just to
patrol people who he can mess with, with whom he
can mess, for the grammar police. Iran's still a big deal,
especially when you're pumping gas and realizing how much more
expensive it is for you than it was before, what,
six and a half months ago. So we're watching that
(15:49):
story in your top five today. And, of course, Labor
Day travel, because let's face it, show of hands, Did
you start vacation like day before yesterday? Americans take vacation
mentally a couple of days before actually going on a
holiday weekend or what have you. In fact, the great
(16:11):
John Coleman, who was one of the founders of the
Weather Channel, he used to say, God rest him, that
he thinks that Americans think really, really hard about work
on Wednesdays. Now, this is not even when there's a
holiday or vacation in the mix. because Monday and Tuesday,
you're talking at the office or wherever, hey, what'd you
do last weekend? Yeah, we did this. And then Wednesday,
(16:33):
it's like, oh, that's right, I have a job. And Wednesday,
you follow this theory. You probably get more assignments at
work or within your work environment on Wednesdays from everybody else.
So it kind of makes that theory. Thursday and Friday,
you're talking about, hey, what are you gonna do this weekend?
This is what the U.S. Senate does. There have been
studies done. The U.S. Senate has, only actually works when
(16:57):
they're not out for weeks and breaks like they are now.
2.5 days a week. You got the travel coming and going.
So I think we're onto something with that. If you
are traveling this weekend, we have the definitive, I think
this is pretty good, the list of the most torturous
(17:20):
airports in America. There's a couple of international ones too,
but I think we ran this up the staff flagpole
here and we're all in agreement here. And it's from
the Washington Post, which I know is surprising because it's
entertaining and factual. So we'll explore that with you. Coming up,
(17:41):
I'd love to hear from you on our top stories
of the day. This is Paul David Patterson down in
Toledo District, Belize. And my morning show is your morning
show with Michael Beljourno. Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
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 (18:14):
Morning, Cliff from Missouri. Scuttlebutt. It's an old Navy term.
It was a water barrel on the ship's deck where
everybody would gather around to drink their water, and it
was called the scuttlebutt. So they would sit around and.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Gossip and talk about the things of the ship, and
therefore it was called scuttlebutt.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Aha. Your morning show, obviously. Michael DelGiorno off today, Mark
Larson sitting in, and thanks for that clip. And if
you're saying, why are we talking scuttlebutt? Well, because earlier
on the show we said Maria Bartiromo, one of the
big stories, is out just suddenly at Fox News. And
there are rumors maybe she's going to work for the
White House, but Rory O'Neill said it would be a
(18:54):
pay cut for her to be press secretary. But the
scuttlebutt is that she could have been giving internal Fox
information to the president of the United States, whose name
is Donald J.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You may know the name. He's hardly ever in the news.
But at any rate, that's how we got into scuttlebutt.
So it's kind of a... I just felt good to
bring up an archaic word. And Cliff in Missouri and
Missouri knew the whole thing. Gave us the background. This
is why this audience is so great. Because we can
(19:28):
come in here like every other talk show in America.
And this is why I love how Michael has framed
this and why it's so successful across the nation. We
can come in and tell you what we think or
set our hair on fire and, you know, scream and
holler on one side or another. This is kind of like, again,
your morning show and we mean it. which I love.
It is like we're talking around the table or whatever.
(19:49):
Politicians always talk about that. You know, when you get
down to the kitchen table, most of them don't even
know where their kitchen table is. But they love the theory, right?
The kitchen table, okay. But this is really what it is.
So just go to that red talkback. Mike, and you
have 30 seconds to leave us your thoughts. A couple
(20:10):
more on the Lindsay Clancy case, which, again, today, it's
still happening. We're talking about, you know, could she ever
be rehabilitated? Chances are it's going to be a mistrial.
Then they'll do it all over again. Then they'll have
to find another jury. And with this being such a
red-hot story, then.
(20:32):
How do you find an impartial jury unless you go
to some other planet at some point? And I still
don't understand why this jury was not sequestered. That's a
whole separate part of it. We have a couple of comments,
and let's go to Blaine in Idaho.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
It seems to me, and you can look this up somewhere,
recidivism is only after you've been incarcerated, or is it constant?
It would be serial if they were never incarcerated. But
serial killers do not rehabilitate. Just like everybody says, everybody's seen,
mass murderers do not rehabilitate either. And if they kill themselves,
that's when they stop. Ted Bundy didn't stop until he
(21:08):
was stopped.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Now, see, that's why the audience knows the depth of
all this. You're right. Recidivism, that's a fancy word for,
you know, you do time, you're released. And it's always
been like 75% or so. The recidivist rate where you're
likely to be back in jail. or either the same
(21:33):
thing or something else within a year on your release.
So that's recidivism. But he has a good point on
the serial killer stuff. We had another, our concerned listener, Becky,
earlier in the show, and she's talking about how a
real-life case where a mother did it again. She killed
(21:55):
her kids, and then she's back to normal life until
it wasn't normal again, and there were more deaths. So
So that's a big question with Lindsey Clancy. And maybe
that's why there's been the one holdout juror that can't
join the rest unanimously. Is that the issue or you
flip it? Maybe it's the other side of it. And
(22:18):
in the middle of that, how do defense attorneys defend
what seems to be indefensible sometimes? That's a whole separate show.
We also have Russ Higgins. KFYI in Phoenix.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
What happens if the voices tell her to wipe out
an orphanage or children's school?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh, well, such goes the judges. Well, let's get a
whole different theme show of the judges. But we'll see.
We're predicting here. I know, Red, you think it's going
to be a mistrial and they're going to show up
today and just be done. So either way, she's not
going to walk free and they're going to file again
(23:00):
and it'll be covered on television wall to wall again
we shall see um we have roger in sacramento listening
on kste uh he like me i'm in san diego
mark larson and for michael on your morning show but
uh with travel weekend everybody talking about gas prices so
uh Roger has some theories about that, as we all enjoy. Morning, Mr. Larson,
(23:25):
Jeffrey and Red.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
You talked a little bit about gas prices, and people
never add for inflation. Example, July 2008 with inflation would
be $ 6. 24.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
June 2011, $ 5.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
87.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And even June of 2022, $ 5.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
65.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
The sad part is, since 2011, inflation's been 48%.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, there's that. And of course, he's in California. I
am as well. So we think it's a deal. But
like yesterday, I got unleaded for $ 5.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
48.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
It's like, that's a great price. Well, California has about
a buck and a half per gallon to give us
all the wonderful restrictions we have there. I could tell
you're Regular unleaded? Regular unleaded? Five, whatever? Well, you can
(24:22):
get it for $ 5. 28 some places, and sometimes a little more. Actually,
the Native American reservations where they have casinos, that and Costco,
you're going to get a better deal. But it's still
about a buck and a half more than anywhere else
in America. Do they have taxes on the reservations there?
They have no taxes, right? No, that's why there's a
(24:44):
benefit there.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
But the temptation is so great. The politicians are probably
taking down your license plates going there.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, probably. That's absolutely right. And of course, Gavin Newsom
flat out has refused. He's not subtle about it. Just,
you know, he's not going to back off, give a
little tax holiday. Even J.B. Pritzker in Illinois for a
time during, I think it was COVID season two or three,
you know, worst miniseries in history, COVID. Somewhere in the
(25:12):
middle of that, even J.B. Pritzker who's just a heavier
version of Gavin Newsom, I think he relieved maybe 50-some
cents per gallon for a while. And he had stickers
put on all the gas pumps back there saying, look
what I did. I mean, there's politicians, especially in Illinois,
and you know this, and I was born back there,
(25:32):
back to Richard J. Daley. It's all about putting your
name on anything. It'd be like trash can at O'Hare,
Richard J. Daley, mayor. And they finally... changed that. Like
when you go in to Illinois from other states, it
would say, welcome to the land of Lincoln. And it
would say, you know, Bob Squat, governor. He was a
(25:54):
great governor, by the way, Bob Squat. But they finally said...
They put a sticker of J.D. Pritzker on the pump? Well,
it wasn't a picture, but it was a thing that
gave him credit for, you know, we're giving you relief
for like 50-some cents in this crisis. you're welcome, J.B. Pritzker,
something like that. But it stood out.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Because if it was his picture, it would have covered
the price, I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I see what you're saying there. Rimshot Friday, it's a
new feature. Michael's going to love that when he gets back.
If you are traveling, and much of this I'll save
for after the break, but you say, okay, we're going
to go fly somewhere this weekend. And, of course, flying
is more expensive. because the fuel is more expensive. It
(26:45):
comes back to Iran, all of that. But the Washington
Post has done what I think is the most enjoyable,
maybe the only enjoyable thing I've seen in the Washington
Post in a long time. It's headlined, One Star Reviews
of Airports. Feels like psychological torture. Travelers venting about confusing layouts,
(27:08):
surly staff, paltry dining choices, and rodents. Well, of course,
the rodents have a right to travel. Andrea Sachs writes
this story, and the comments are spot on. I think
we agree. When's the last time we said we agreed
with anything wholeheartedly in the Washington Post? Like ever? Has
that ever happened?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I've only not been to two of those airports on
that list, and I agree with every single thing they said.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, we're going to have the list here in case
you're going. We'll prepare you. Some airports, we can't get
away fast enough. Though essentially transportation hubs, airports have more
responsibilities than simply flying passengers in and out like cargo. Well,
I'm not sure if the airports and sometimes the airlines
know that. You know, after we're coming up on the
(27:59):
25th anniversary of 9-11 next week, that's when everything started
to change. You know, people would, that's when airlines started
cutting out certain food, even back in steerage. In that section,
be like, sit down. We're in a war on terror.
Sit down. Don't use anything sharp. And here's your peanuts.
And we can't give you peanuts either because somebody's going
(28:21):
to have an allergy issue. So, yeah, so transportation hubs,
airports have more responsibilities than simply flying passengers in and
out like cargo, she writes. They need to provide us
with food and drinks, diversions such as shopping and play
areas for kids, and basic necessities, including clean bathrooms, well,
and functioning device charging stations. The layout must be easy
(28:44):
to navigate and not require an electrolyte infusion to walk
from the security checkpoint to the gate. For airports that
fail in this regard, we can't boycott them as we
would a substandard hotel or restaurant facility. We need them,
especially if they're most convenient or cheapest option to our
final destination. We can, however, vent, and a lot of
(29:05):
people did. And I bet your least favorite airport is
on the list. So as a public service, after the break,
we will share. And you can break into small groups
and discuss. You can hit that red microphone button named
after Owen Redd on the iHeartRadio app. Mark Larson in
for Michael DiGiorno on your morning show. Back in a minute.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
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 (29:41):
Why?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
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 3 (30:29):
It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Good morning, Mark. Thank you so much for filling in
for Michael. You are such a pro.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I'd like to see a study of all these people
who make heroes out of these villains.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Like Lindsay and Luigi.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Going back, even the people on the side of the
freeway when during the OJ's Bronco chase, 10,000 people who
went to the funeral of Bonnie and Clyde.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
That is such a pathology. I would really like to
see it explained. That's good thinking there, Mary. And by
the way, thanks for the pro comment, because both Red
and Jeff were shocked. I'm shocked. We'll dumb you down.
We promise. Well, thank you. We are guaranteed human. At
(31:14):
any rate, yeah, that's a weird, I don't get that.
It's like, yeah, the Luigi Mangione thing and all that.
It happened with the, remember the Boston Bombers, the Marathon Bombers?
Same kind of thing. on the front page of the
front cover of Rolling Stone. And suddenly it's like, I just,
there's always somebody there. I'd love to turn that person around. And,
you know, they're misunderstood. So maybe, maybe that person won't
(31:37):
kill me if I have a relationship.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Here's a question for you, Mark, though. Do you remember
any women? This is a women and women thing here,
but usually it's a male killer and women flocking to
the man. Can you ever think of a woman killer
and the men flocking to a woman?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I can't. Well, except maybe the Manson family. Some of
those characters under Charles Manson were... were attractive young sixties women.
And I think some of them, Leslie Van Houten, some
of those, I think they had a following, but other
than that, you're right. I don't, I can't, you know,
somebody who just right up there and a major heartthrob.
(32:21):
So maybe it's a gender based deal. Uh, we have
one other comment. I want to go to this from
Kevin in Sacramento, KSTE, um, a little harsh, but on
the whole Lindsay Clancy case, um, Here's his thought. My
thoughts on this woman that strangled her three kids, they
ought to just put her down. If she did have a.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Temporary mental lapse, then it's a kindness saving her from
grieving over her children the rest.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Of her life.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
If it was murder, it's justice.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Either way, society wins.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
That's pretty pointed. You know, as harsh as that is,
I bet a lot of people think that because you
kind of look at this, it's like, okay, but that's
not going to happen. She's not going to have a
death penalty thing because you've got the other defense. Little intense,
but I'm sure that's not the only person thinking that way.
But we'll see. Maybe mistrial today and then they do
(33:16):
it all over again. On the lighter side, if you're
trying to travel anywhere, this piece from the Washington Post
is hilarious. And I don't think we have any problem
with any of these choices. One star airport experiences. This
is based on.
Looking at a bunch of platforms, people just complaining on
social media about their airport experience. Here's one, JFK in
(33:42):
New York. New York, it's the chicken, parm, and pittle
is the subhead. There were no decent restaurants. This is
somebody from Irvine, California, traveling just a few weeks ago.
jfk no decent restaurants open as a matter of fact
most of them closed or under renovation one restaurant the
palm well that's pretty fancy had a 46 chicken parmesan
(34:05):
the restrooms were dirty and had urine on the seats
and toilet paper on the floor well there's customer service
um it says thanks so much customer service wish you
existed i want to go home and i can't even
fly out of this airport um Anna and Buffalo traveling
through JFK. Why in the middle of the night do
they play super loud, obnoxious music? The lights are bright everywhere.
(34:28):
All the seats are extremely uncomfortable. Terminal five, like a
torture machine, but enjoy your fun. You have a lot
of choices when you travel. How about Denver international on
another planet? I think we, how many guys, every experience
I've had in Denver, as opposed to the old airport,
old Stapleton that used to be there, but, but, They
(34:49):
build it out where it's like Tornado Alley, for one thing.
And if you ever.
Here's a rule of thumb. If you're connecting through Denver
and O'Hare and Chicago, don't. Find some other way to
route around that, especially during inclement weather. Let's see. One
of the comments out of Sarah in St. Louis about
Denver International. Should I say the Galaxy Airport, two hours
(35:12):
from downtown... Because they may have, well, built it on Mars.
I'm convinced this place was designed by people who hate convenience.
Jeff in San Francisco traveling through there said this is
the reason AI will take over the human race. I
was stuck there one time with all the trains you
have to take. They're always shutting down. My experience was
United through Denver is the worst. Now, that's just my experience.
(35:36):
You may love United. Mark Larson for Michael DelGiorno. Washington
Dulles stuck in 1962. That's another one on this list
of one-star airports. John in Pennsylvania commented on social media,
Dulles opened November 17, 1962. Proud to still be 1963 state-of-the-art.
(35:58):
Excuse me while I juggle my luggage while walking next
to the always broken moving walkway. Oh, that's true. Alyssa
in Vienna, Virginia. So right down the road. What an unbelievable,
unmitigated dump. It's unreal to think this is in our
nation's capital area. And you got a whole between there
and Reagan National, which is much better and more convenient.
(36:18):
But members of Congress who. by the way, work for us.
And this is a surprise to them. They travel in
and out of these airports all the time. Why they
haven't fixed it beats me. How about, uh, Los Angeles
LAX feels like psychological torture. Now I'm in San Diego.
So I know San Diego has got some new terminals.
I like that LAX, not so much. Um, someone from
(36:41):
California said, I previously gave it two stars out of
the kindness of my heart, but now one star, uh,
which I think is still too generous. Um, Cleveland Airport,
floors too gross for roller bags. Well, that never fails
to have the filthiest bathrooms. Well, they're number one. And
apparently number two. One star for Auntie Anne's. I don't
(37:07):
think anybody disagrees. We'll touch on a few more of these,
but they're gems. Anyone disagree? Red, Jeff, so far so good, right?
So far so good, yeah. Pretty much perfect.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
I have connected through Denver God knows how many times.
It's always an adventure. Which you should talk about later.
It's number one on my list.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Miami International designed by a messy baby. It's Mark Larson
in for Michael on Your Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
with Michael DelGiorno.
