Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael, reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live, each weekday morning, 5 to 8 Central,
6 to 9 Eastern, in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee, Tupelo, Mississippi,
and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and take the drive to work with you.
But better late than never, we're grateful you're here now.
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk.
A new way of understanding. Because... We're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. How I
spent my summer vacation.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Sick.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You're sick? Timing's everything, isn't it? I thought you just
had just a nagging cough. I didn't know you were sick.
That would be lung cancer if I sounded like that.
Seven minutes after the hour. Good morning and welcome to Tuesday,
September the 8th, year of our Lord, 2026. It's primary
day in New Hampshire. Billions of dollars of American goods
(01:00):
are now subject to Canadian tariffs. We're looking at milk, steel,
aluminum products, 50%. Cheese, paper, household appliances. Glad I bought
that refrigerator a few months ago, 25%. Technology, tools, industrial equipment, 15%.
(01:22):
Covers products ranging from wine, hockey equipment, and cement. including energy, fish,
and critical minerals. It's a 50% tariff going into effect overnight.
The NTSB is moving forward with its investigation after recovering
the flight data and auto recorders from the deadly crash
(01:44):
of an Amazon cargo plane at Miami's International Airport. White
House is going to have a steel beam from the
World Trade Center on display today. Former New York City
Mayor Rudy Giuliani says the current mayor Zoran Mamdani should
probably skip this week's 9-11 remembrance ceremonies. And gas prices
remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down. So
(02:07):
welcome to this week, a shortened week from Labor Day.
We will have the kickoff of NFL football and gaming,
as it's more affectionately known these days. And we march
towards a 9-11 celebration. 25th anniversary at Ground Zero, our
nation's capital, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
(02:32):
You know, it begs the question, and I know we're
going to talk to Colonel Stephen Bucci later in the
third hour. If you can't be available in the third hour,
that's why we have the podcast. Didn't take long to
get to a shameless plug, did it? That's what we do.
But we're going to visit with Colonel Bucci about 9-11,
25 years later, and what we've learned. And are we
(02:56):
any safer today than 25 years ago? And I think,
you know, the answer is probably yes and no. Watch
the documentary on 9-11 and the thesis of it was
basically we're at a reflection point that we're about to
(03:22):
enter a time where memory slips into history. Now, keep
in mind, if you're anything around.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
8, 7, I.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Don't know. I was very aware of things at 6, 7.
But even if you do 5, if you're 5 years
old at 9, 11, that means you're 30 today. So
you're looking at anywhere from anybody 30 to 35 years
or younger. They don't have a personal recollection of 9, 11. Now,
(03:58):
you've heard people say that. That's nothing radically new waking
up this morning. But think about that. And time is
such a profound earthly element that doesn't exist in eternity.
(04:20):
But if you were 35 years old, in 1993, you
probably don't have a recollection of seeing a president assassinated.
Or when I was growing up watching black and white
(04:40):
videos of Adolf Hitler, that was about 30 years ago.
Adolf Hitler did not seem like he was anywhere in
proximity to my life, not real life. Part of that
was black and white, right? You'd see him screaming in
black and white. That seemed like a long time ago. Oh,
black and white. That's when my parents were little. Oh, 9-11.
(05:01):
That's when my parents were young. What is the impact
of the difference of personally remembering and then history? Well,
one is subject to how it felt to experience it.
(05:23):
Really experience it. If you were on any of the
Hawaiian islands during Pearl Harbor, you had a much different
experience than we did in a classroom or a movie theater.
You're also subject to how one teaches it to you.
(05:44):
And I don't have to tell you, education is not
a pure science anymore. nor documentaries, television, or motion pictures.
It's not just the story changes second to third to
fourth hand. It's purposely narrativized or sanitized. There's probably nothing
(06:13):
we can reflect on all this week as we approach
the 25th anniversary of 9-11 that this subject of What's
been remembered? What's been forgotten? What's been polished? What's been erased?
What's the difference between actually having lived it and learned
(06:37):
about it? That moment that 9-11 slips into history and
away from personal experience is a big moment. And we
don't live in the same times we used to. You
didn't just have 9-11, you had the birth of social
media and the internet and the wild, wild west of outrage.
(07:09):
Eat just the influence of the conspiracy theorists that run
wild on the internet. I mean, you saw what happened
to Charlie Kirk's death minutes after he was shot. let
alone 9-11 25 years later. There's a percentage of America
that thinks it was an inside job. Questions like how
(07:33):
did 9-11 change us become harder and harder to answer
and really dissect. And you will find It reminds me
(07:53):
of when we were going through COVID and I made
a statement one time and it was just so true
and it stuck. I really felt like at the end
of the day, COVID revealed more than it did. For
people that ran around for generations, paranoid about the Antichrist
(08:16):
and the end of times, wow, what I saw during COVID,
if that was a dry run for the Antichrist, We're ready.
I mean, bring them on. There's very few things 9-11
hasn't changed. And at some point, you have to at
least ask the question. I'm not suggesting it's an answer,
(08:37):
but it's a question. Bin Laden do far more, even
after his death, let alone after 9-11, because of our reaction.
not response. And in that sense, when I look at
(08:59):
the 9-11 commission findings, they weren't serious findings. And they
make me wonder if we're any more serious today. Do
we have a lot of security in place?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Do we have the enemy in focus?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And that's a criticism at every level. Because there are
those that don't know how, and it's difficult, I'll grant you,
to differentiate between jihadist Islam and a Muslim. Any better
today than 25 years ago? I can tell you the conditions,
(09:49):
this will be a very tough question for Colonel Bucci,
the conditions in Afghanistan.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
A rock?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Mean, when I watched Barack Obama negotiating the end of
the war with the Taliban, that was a surreal moment.
It doesn't get any weirder than that. And it would
be hard to look at the exit of Afghanistan after
(10:24):
20 years of war and claim any sense of victory.
So really, where are we 25 years later? And are
we even serious enough of people to have that conversation?
And I don't suggest that I have all the answers
or that collectively together we do. But are we even
asking the right questions? Are we even the right jury
(10:45):
of peers? Is this going to be a remembrance or
an honoring? Is this going to be a remembrance or
(11:09):
just another issue of divide? And a nation that loves
to pick sides have firm and movable opinions without the
discomfort of thought. It's a frightening proposition. And lucky for us,
we got all week to explore it and some really
smart people to explore it with. Labor Day is behind us.
(11:33):
A 25th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American
soil that could happen again. If we forget. If we
lose our sense. and senses of the lessons. Lose too
(11:59):
much of it, and you've lost already, whether they attack
again or not. Kick that around and more. Rory's going
to have the latest as diplomacy ramps up with Ukraine
and Russia. Of all the sounds of the day, it
happens to be the worst quality, but of the most
significant substance. Some of the comments made by the negotiating team.
(12:27):
And if you think we have an endless war with Iran,
how about the one that's going on six years? We'll
get the latest with Rory on that. Stephen Bucci is
going to be joining us, the Colonel, on 9-11, 25
years later. Of course, sounds of the day and more.
Miss a little, you'll miss a lot. Miss a lot,
of course, we will miss you. But lucky for you,
there'll be the podcast. Just search your morning show into
(12:48):
your iHeart app. It'll pop up. Give it a program.
I give everybody else a plug for a program. Program us.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That way our podcast is waiting for you every morning.
Sicker than a dog, but good to be back with you.
I am Michael Dalgiorno. Well, gold and silver recently soared
to record highs. Then it pulled back a little bit.
So question number one, are precious metals still a good buy? Well,
major banks think so. In fact, they're forecasting even higher
prices ahead.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
And why?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Well, $ 40- plus trillion of national debt, a declining dollar, inflation
that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way,
gold remains historically a hedge for wealth protection. That's why
Morgan Stanley ditched the 60-40 stock-to-bond portfolio ratio. They're now
recommending up to 20% in precious metals. They've gotten educated.
(13:37):
Maybe we should, too. With over $ 3 billion in transactions,
thousands of five-star reviews, and almost 30 years in the biz,
Lear Capital is my trusted precious metal source, and you

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Hey, Mike.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Welcome back. It's John from Southwest Ohio. We missed you.
How do you want your eggs? Hey, Michael. Just want
to say glad to have you back and hear you
basting in your own juices. My morning show is your
morning show. Well, good morning, crew.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
I just want to tell Mikey, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Glad to hear you. Good to see you at the
head of the table again. Like you, Bob. Well, thank you, Bob.
We're broadcasting live from the infirmary this morning where I
spent half of my vacation. I was in Ohio for
everybody there. Got to go to Youngstown, play a tippy canoe,
hang out with DZ. We went to Ohio in order
(15:01):
to play golf in more earthly temperatures than the surface
of the sun like we've been experiencing in Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And it was 100 degrees and felt like 106 while
we were playing in Ohio. And then thanks to air travel,
I came home and got really sick. So I should
just stay at work. I think I function better and
stay healthier just working every day. I think all of
us function better when you stay at work. Speaking of work,
(15:30):
a steel beam from the World Trade Center is set
to go on display at the White House today as
the nation prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the
9-11 terror attacks. Mark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
The Tunnel to Towers Steel Across America tour is bringing
the 16,000-pound beam to the ellipse. President Trump is expected
to deliver remarks.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A New York City firefighter has died
of World Trade Center-related illnesses just days before this 25th anniversary.
Tammy Trujillo has the details.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Retired FDNY Lieutenant Gerald Riley of Ladder 22 died last Thursday.
The Uniformed Firefighters Association says Riley was a devoted husband, father,
and grandfather and showed unwavering dedication during rescue and recovery
operations at Ground Zero. He died at the age of 75.
The Never Forget Project says that 343 firefighters were killed
(16:21):
on 9-11. Over 100 have died of World Trade Center-related
injuries or illness, and thousands more are now sick. I'm
Tammy Trujillo.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Canada's new tariffs on billions of dollars of American goods
are now in effect.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
The tariffs range from 15 to 50 percent, covering more
than $ 27 billion in U.S.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Imports.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
They target products including steel, dairy, appliances, farm equipment, electronics,
and paper products. Canadian officials say it's in response to
the 50% duties imposed by President Trump on Canadian goods.
This has tensions between President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister
Mark Carney continue to rise, and with trade talks stalled.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
In Washington, I'm Scott Carr. This is Rebecca in Spring Hill, Tennessee,
and my morning show is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. Hey,
it's me, Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Your morning show is heard live from 5 to 8 a.m. Central,
6 to 9 a.m. Eastern, 3 to 6 a.m. Pacific
on great radio stations like News Radio 1190 KEX in Portland,
News Talk 550 KFYI in Phoenix, Arizona, and Freedom 1047
in Washington, D.C. We'd love to have you join us
live in the morning, even take us along on the
drive to work. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Birdie Bird gets the worm, Sleepy Squirrel misses the nuts,
so rise and shine. Throw that leg off the bed.
If I can play hurt and sick, you can rise
and listen well. If you're just waking up, gas prices
remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down. It's
primary day for New Hampshire today, and billions, B as
in Ross Perot. Was that a reprise? I don't know.
(18:04):
It just kind of started again. Is that one of
my faucets leaking? That's a 12-inch remix. Billions of dollars
in American goods are now subject to Canadian tariffs. Good
morning and welcome to Tuesday, September the 8th, 2026. Out
of the air, streaming live on your iHeart app. This
is your morning show, and I'm honored to serve you.
I'm Michael DelGiorno, sick and all. Can't have your morning
show without your voice. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
(18:27):
you'll notice a little microphone. Press it. It'll professionally count
you down, three, two, one. Give you 30 seconds to
make a comment, ask a question. And instantly, you say it,
you send it, and we all hear it. You take
your place at this morning's kitchen table. No more rotting
on hold and no more ignoring listeners. Talk radio is
a conversation again. Let's start with, I can't do all
(18:49):
this when I'm sick. Priscilla, Priscilla in Memphis.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Priscilla from Memphis here.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Welcome back to the kitchen table. We missed you.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
And happy belated birthday. And I'm sorry that you're sick.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You see, that's the love that only a woman can provide.
Did you hear the compassion in her voice? She was
like warm soup, wasn't she? Compare, compare Priscilla to Red.
Suck it up, big mouth. Fill some time. Read the prep.
To Michael in Ohio. Hi, Michael. This is Michael from Lebanon, Ohio.
(19:27):
Welcome back. Hope you feel better soon. All these things
that are going on, the questions that we wonder, question
I wonder, Michael, do you think Michigan deserved one last play? Well,
we can't blame this one on gambling, number one, right?
Because the spread was already shattered. Can you blame this
(19:51):
on too much reviewing and camera reviewing? Did a ball
hit the back of a foot out of bounds with
one one hundredth of one second? And yet you get
the next play and you convert it. So I, you know.
Did I think Michigan lost? Probably. Did they come away surviving? Yes.
(20:17):
Are they going to get a beating? Look, at some point,
I know we've got a lot of people listening in
Detroit and the Ann Arbor area. This was one of
the highest recruited quarterbacks in all of college football. He
had a higher score than Arch Manning. And I think
it's a bust. So I think OU is going to
(20:37):
slap them silly next week anyway. So it probably doesn't matter.
But Red and I were talking off the air. I
think everybody that has a vote in the top 10
was obviously enjoying a three-day weekend. Because we all watched
Oregon almost lose at home to Boise State. And they're
(20:57):
still number two in the country. And who didn't? And
I know I'm a homer because I went there. But
if I didn't go to LSU, look, this is an
all-star team. This is a stacked Lane Kiffin team. They're
paid professionals. These are like the best of the SEC.
And they just, I mean, steamrolled Clemson 51-10. And you
(21:20):
got them at 11? I don't know if I'd get
that one. I mean, at least OU beat up on
somebody that they should beat up on. And I understand
why they're 10th, but I don't know. I'm looking at
that top 10, and it doesn't look like anybody watched
the games but me this weekend. But isn't it nice
to have football back? And we have the NFL that's
going to get us underway. For the NFL, we're going
(21:43):
to start like we always do, I guess, with a
kickoff game. It used to be Thursday night. Now it's
Wednesday night. The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks
will kick off the 2026 NFL regular season. That'll be
Wednesday night at 720. And then I think they're playing
(22:03):
in Europe somewhere, aren't they? The 49ers and the Rams? Oh,
look at Red scrambling. Yeah, do your job, healthy boy.
Why don't you add something? What? They're playing in Germany.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Germany.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
All right, that's Europe. Last I looked. Close enough. It
still is, I guess. 49ers and Rams. And I think
it's the Rams that are saying, well, we're going to
try to get there as late as possible so that
there's no jet lag effect. Imagine you don't play all
preseason and your first game is in Germany. Only the NFL.
(22:36):
And follow the bouncing ball all year. We're going to
have to tell you exactly where games are because they're
somewhere different. That one on Netflix Wednesday night. We kick
off with the Patriots and Seahawks on NBC. Lisa is
also in Memphis, right? A lot of Memphis. And is
this another welcome back? Because I feel welcomed. Absolutely. Michael D.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Lisa in Tennessee. Yes, we all missed you. I'm hearing
all the regulars calling in this morning. And yeah, the
guys that covered for you did a great job as well.
I did get a chance to listen to some of
your podcasts, shows that I missed. And I missed your birthday.
I didn't realize it was your birthday. So I'm sorry
you're sick, but I hope you at least had a
great birthday.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And welcome back.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
My morning show is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Did I have a great birthday?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
My brother flew in. Great ones, though. I mean, you know,
they can't all be. Well, I mean, you know, when
when you could collect Social Security now officially, I look around.
I just I can't believe that Joan and Bob's youngest
son is 62. But I don't you know, I don't
feel 62. I don't look 62. I don't think about
(23:50):
being 62.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
And.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
If our only eternal life is Christ's life, mine has
already begun. So who's counting anymore? But it was a
good birthday. Then I went to Ohio, got to spend
some time with DZ, as I mentioned, so much for
the best laid plans. The whole point was to get
away from the surface of the sun that we've been
living in. Golf since June has been like a survival
(24:16):
of the fittest. And it doesn't matter how many gloves
I bring, they're not enough. You sweat through, can't hold
the club. You're dehydrated. You're feeling dizzy. I just wanted
to go play golf somewhere where I wasn't, you know, surviving,
but playing. How did that turn out for you? Well,
(24:36):
the coolest day was 93 felt like 102. Okay. Then
we had one that was 96. I don't want to exaggerate.
DC will be here tomorrow, but I think 96 felt
like 106.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
It was obnoxious. Wow. And Norm, DZ, and me, we
were weathering it. But I did get to play Tippy Canoe,
which was a very beautiful private country club.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Where I am king. Youngstown, Ohio. And then, yes, you
get on a plane. I think I know the... You
ever do that when you're flying and you get home?
You're like, I think I know the one that got
me sick. I think I saw her coughing.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
My way. sniffling, wiping her nose as she walks down
the aisle. That's what we need. When somebody sneezes or
starts coughing on a plane, that's when the little oxygen
thing needs to come down so we can all protect ourselves.
That's when I reach up and grab the little air
vent blower and make sure that it's blowing in my
face to blow all that stuff away. I was leaving
Cleveland and a horrific thunderstorm kicked up. So we weren't
(25:32):
allowed to board the plane. We later loaded the plane
and then got stuck on the plane from another thunderstorm.
That's another story. So I'm sitting there. They make the announcement.
Of course, I can see it out the window. It
looks like they're getting ready to film Wizard of Oz 3,
assuming Wicked was 2. Anyway, I digress. And as I'm
sitting there, I'm hearing that loud in my ear. Who
(25:58):
was that? Now, I'm at an airport, and I'm thinking
to myself, how fat is this person behind me that
they're breathing like a farm animal? And I'm on the
phone with my wife, and I slowly turn around, and
I'm looking into the eyes of the largest dog I've
ever seen in my life. No kidding? You know what?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You two never do appreciate my stories, but you will.
I did not take, this was right behind me, and
you can tell, I turned around and took the picture.
You got Marmaduke back there? And this is not an
angle that created this. I'm telling you, this is the
biggest dog I've ever witnessed in my life. Red. Can't
(26:44):
you check a dog? I mean, was that their emotional
support animal? Why didn't they just bring a giraffe? But
you can bring a dog in? If Michael Jackson would
have seen this dog, he'd have been fine without farm animals.
All right, so you ready? How long will this take
to get to you, I think? Probably just seconds. And
(27:05):
this is not an angle. I should put this on
Facebook for people. This dog sitting is bigger than its
owner sitting in the chair. That's what was breathing in
my ear. Did you get it yet? Holy smoke. Isn't
that the biggest dog you've ever seen in your life?
That's the dog from the Shaggy D.A., isn't it? I've
never seen it. And by the way, there's a hat
(27:26):
on the piece of luggage next to it. I presume
that's his hat. What is he? He's about, I don't
want to exaggerate. He's close to four feet sitting, isn't he? Yeah,
that's got to be, that's got to be 120 plus, right?
Speaker 7 (27:41):
120.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I have a friend who has a St. Bernard who's
bigger than that. Oh, I don't know. I've had, I
had two St. Bernard's growing up and I've had new fees.
I've never seen one that big. That's bigger than my
friend Pete's. What are those white ones that live in
the snow? I had the biggest dog. I don't even
know what it was. And then, of course, just like
(28:04):
everything else. Oh, it's a giraffe-a-doodle or something. I was
fixing to say, what type of doodle is that? Did
it have its own ticket? Seriously, how would you like
to have been on their row? Oh, this is my
emotional support dog. Actually, come to think of it, I
never saw him or heard him breathe on the plane.
Maybe he was the pilot. I don't know. I don't know.
(28:26):
That dog might be bigger than the lady. He was massive.
I don't know standing up what he would have been,
but he would have been closer to seven feet than six.
I mean, sitting, he's four feet. That's a big doodle.
And I did not. That's not an angle. And that's
what he sounded like in my ear. Maybe that's maybe
(28:48):
he got me sick. Maybe I have kettle cough. You
got some puppy flu. I got kettle cough. Flying is dirty,
nasty business, though, isn't it? And we pay for that.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
All right, enough of my griping. I'm back. I'm ready
to do my job. What is this week about? Is
America going to understand 9-11 any better 25 years later?
I suspect not, but we will prepare for that. Gas
prices remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down.
It's primary day in New Hampshire. Get ready to spend
billions of more dollars on American goods, all subject to
(29:22):
the Canadian tariffs. And New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani
says the current mayor, Mom Donnie, should skip 9-11 remembrance ceremonies. Oh,
he'll be smirking and smiling in present, I assure you.
That and more. We're going to get Rory O'Neill's take
coming up in just a little bit. on the latest
on the investigation of the crash of that Amazon cargo
(29:44):
plane over the weekend that killed five in Miami. And
I know the NTSB is moving forward with its investigation.
They recovered the flight data and audio recorders from the
deadly crash. Hopefully they'll piece together some answers. And later
in the third hour, Stephen Bucci on 9-11, 25 years later.
So stick around. If you miss a little, you'll miss
a lot. And thank you for all the welcome backs.
(30:07):
When police were searching the car of the man who
assassinated a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in their home,
they found a notebook. Inside were handwritten lists of 11 websites.
Not weapon sites, data brokers. People search sites that sell
your home And I mean, sell it for a couple
(30:31):
of quick bucks. Just type your name into one right
now and boom, there you'll be. Your address, your phone number,
your family's names. A photo in some cases of your
front door. Anyone can look you up in seconds and
you'll never know who did. That's why I use Incogni.
It forces data brokers and people search sites to delete you.
(30:51):
And it keeps after them because deleted data loves to
creep back. Incogni scrubbed my information from over 500 sites
so far. All while I did exactly nothing. Which is
why I say, you lock your doors every night. Tonight,
lock your address. Go to incogni.com slash Michael. Get 60%

Speaker 1 (31:32):
It's your morning show with michael del giorno.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I just realized spike is from youngstown i could have
saw spike Had him sign his drumsticks? I already have that. Oh,
did he sign them? But I could have played his drums.
He said, I wish I knew you were so close.
You were only 20 minutes from me. I would have
tried to make a plan. Yeah, we didn't have much.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Time.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I mean, every second was kind of accounted for. And
that was a private club. Although I will say at
the club, which I kept getting the name wrong over
and over again, pronouncing it different ways. But I broke
the hot dog machine. or whatever, the cover. I thought
it opened from the bottom, and there was actually like
(32:16):
a window for it. So it goes tumbling, and this
woman comes over. Oh, it happens all the time. I said,
did I break it? Oh, no, it'll go right back on.
And the guy I was playing with from the bar said, yeah,
Michael's in town from Nashville. He's a radio host. And
she goes, I listen every morning. And I thought, oh,
that's impossible. How does this person know who I am?
(32:38):
I'm in Youngstown, Ohio. You know, you forget when you're national.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I said, you do not. You don't have to say that.
Because I know Chris was filling in this morning. He's
not you. But and I was like, holy cow, I
am the king of Youngstown. Then she later waited on
me for lunch, took a picture with me. Her husband
didn't believe she was. I mean, you know, what's that Stallone?
Let me tell you something. You feel like a member.
Our first day was it was it. Did we ever
(33:02):
figure out if it was Sacramento or Phoenix? I think
it was Phoenix first. When the guy called up and said,
where the hell's Bill O'Reilly? Oh, yeah, that guy. I
think that was Sacramento, wasn't it? What's up with the
morning show? I'm listening to some guy from Akron. I
don't know why you thought it was Akron. Where the
hell is Bill O'Reilly? Yeah, where's Bill? Somebody's messing up
(33:22):
on the board operation. Listen, most people do not welcome
us to their town, but we are the kings of Youngstown.
I had a wonderful time in your city, Spike. You
have a town full of very, very special, wonderful people.
It was great to meet you. And a picture you
like still long. What is that, King of Tulsa? Is
that King of Tulsa? Yeah. I only watched the first season.
(33:44):
He just took over the guy's marijuana business. Gas prices
remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down. It's
primary day in New Hampshire and billions of dollars of
our American goods are about to be subject to Canadian tariffs.
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday, September the 8th, year
of our Lord 2026. One of the things we're gearing
(34:04):
up for is the 25th anniversary of 9-11 coming up
on Friday. A steel beam from the World Trade Center
is set to be on display at the White House.
Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
The Tunnel to Towers Steel Across America tour is bringing
the 16,000-pound beam to the ellipse. President Trump is expected
to deliver remarks. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Well, New York City Mayor Mamdani says he will attend
Friday's 9-11 remembrance ceremony despite growing criticism. Sarah Lee Kessler reports.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
A petition circulated by some 9-11 victims' families urging Mamdani
to reconsider has drawn 100,000 signatures.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
It offends me that he's coming.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani saying Zoran Mamdani should skip the
9-11 ceremony, accusing him of being too tolerant of radical Islam.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
I'm proud to be the mayor of this city.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I love this city. I love this country.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Mayor Mamdani reacting at the West Indian Day Parade. Here's
Governor Kathy Hochul. Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Kirk Schumer.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
I think it would be more insulting to the vast
majority if.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He did not come.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
As far as 9-11 is concerned, he represents the city
of New York.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
He should certainly come.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Well, if I wasn't sick, I'd audition myself. Wheel of
Fortune is looking for a new announcer. Wheel of Fortune!
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Sony Pictures Television has fired longtime announcer Jim Thornton after
TMZ published photos, it says, show him viewing a chat
room containing images of children on a laptop during a
flight in May. The circumstances surrounding the photos have not
been independently verified. Thornton's replacement will serve as interim announcer
when the show returns September the 14th.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Today we raise our hand, palm forward,
fingers spread apart. It's a very important day in the
sci-fi world.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Today is Star Trek Day, honoring when the first show
aired back in 1966. It was a breakthrough, as it
was a sci-fi show designed for adults. Kirk, Spock, and
McCoy led the team. It made the actors household names,
even though William Shatner couldn't pull off the Vulcan salute
without glue. And for the record, no one ever said,
beam me up, Scotty.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
Today, dress up.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Consider it a Halloween pregame. Watch a show and learn
a little Klingon.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Jup.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Look it up. I'm Brie Tennis. Nobody ever said, beat
me up, Scotty? I don't remember. I'm shocked. We're all
in this together. This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Hey, it's Michael, reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live, each weekday morning, 5 to 8 Central,
6 to 9 Eastern, in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee, Tupelo, Mississippi,
and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and take the drive to work with you.
But better late than never, we're grateful you're here now.
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk.
A new way of understanding. Because... We're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. How I
spent my summer vacation.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Sick.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You're sick? Timing's everything, isn't it? I thought you just
had just a nagging cough. I didn't know you were sick.
That would be lung cancer if I sounded like that.
Seven minutes after the hour. Good morning and welcome to Tuesday,
September the 8th, year of our Lord, 2026. It's primary
day in New Hampshire. Billions of dollars of American goods
(01:00):
are now subject to Canadian tariffs. We're looking at milk, steel,
aluminum products, 50%. Cheese, paper, household appliances. Glad I bought
that refrigerator a few months ago, 25%. Technology, tools, industrial equipment, 15%.
(01:22):
Covers products ranging from wine, hockey equipment, and cement. including energy, fish,
and critical minerals. It's a 50% tariff going into effect overnight.
The NTSB is moving forward with its investigation after recovering
the flight data and auto recorders from the deadly crash
(01:44):
of an Amazon cargo plane at Miami's International Airport. White
House is going to have a steel beam from the
World Trade Center on display today. Former New York City
Mayor Rudy Giuliani says the current mayor Zoran Mamdani should
probably skip this week's 9-11 remembrance ceremonies. And gas prices
remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down. So
(02:07):
welcome to this week, a shortened week from Labor Day.
We will have the kickoff of NFL football and gaming,
as it's more affectionately known these days. And we march
towards a 9-11 celebration. 25th anniversary at Ground Zero, our
nation's capital, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
(02:32):
You know, it begs the question, and I know we're
going to talk to Colonel Stephen Bucci later in the
third hour. If you can't be available in the third hour,
that's why we have the podcast. Didn't take long to
get to a shameless plug, did it? That's what we do.
But we're going to visit with Colonel Bucci about 9-11,
25 years later, and what we've learned. And are we
(02:56):
any safer today than 25 years ago? And I think,
you know, the answer is probably yes and no. Watch
the documentary on 9-11 and the thesis of it was
basically we're at a reflection point that we're about to
(03:22):
enter a time where memory slips into history. Now, keep
in mind, if you're anything around.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
8, 7, I.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Don't know. I was very aware of things at 6, 7.
But even if you do 5, if you're 5 years
old at 9, 11, that means you're 30 today. So
you're looking at anywhere from anybody 30 to 35 years
or younger. They don't have a personal recollection of 9, 11. Now,
(03:58):
you've heard people say that. That's nothing radically new waking
up this morning. But think about that. And time is
such a profound earthly element that doesn't exist in eternity.
(04:20):
But if you were 35 years old, in 1993, you
probably don't have a recollection of seeing a president assassinated.
Or when I was growing up watching black and white
(04:40):
videos of Adolf Hitler, that was about 30 years ago.
Adolf Hitler did not seem like he was anywhere in
proximity to my life, not real life. Part of that
was black and white, right? You'd see him screaming in
black and white. That seemed like a long time ago. Oh,
black and white. That's when my parents were little. Oh, 9-11.
(05:01):
That's when my parents were young. What is the impact
of the difference of personally remembering and then history? Well,
one is subject to how it felt to experience it.
(05:23):
Really experience it. If you were on any of the
Hawaiian islands during Pearl Harbor, you had a much different
experience than we did in a classroom or a movie theater.
You're also subject to how one teaches it to you.
(05:44):
And I don't have to tell you, education is not
a pure science anymore. nor documentaries, television, or motion pictures.
It's not just the story changes second to third to
fourth hand. It's purposely narrativized or sanitized. There's probably nothing
(06:13):
we can reflect on all this week as we approach
the 25th anniversary of 9-11 that this subject of What's
been remembered? What's been forgotten? What's been polished? What's been erased?
What's the difference between actually having lived it and learned
(06:37):
about it? That moment that 9-11 slips into history and
away from personal experience is a big moment. And we
don't live in the same times we used to. You
didn't just have 9-11, you had the birth of social
media and the internet and the wild, wild west of outrage.
(07:09):
Eat just the influence of the conspiracy theorists that run
wild on the internet. I mean, you saw what happened
to Charlie Kirk's death minutes after he was shot. let
alone 9-11 25 years later. There's a percentage of America
that thinks it was an inside job. Questions like how
(07:33):
did 9-11 change us become harder and harder to answer
and really dissect. And you will find It reminds me
(07:53):
of when we were going through COVID and I made
a statement one time and it was just so true
and it stuck. I really felt like at the end
of the day, COVID revealed more than it did. For
people that ran around for generations, paranoid about the Antichrist
(08:16):
and the end of times, wow, what I saw during COVID,
if that was a dry run for the Antichrist, We're ready.
I mean, bring them on. There's very few things 9-11
hasn't changed. And at some point, you have to at
least ask the question. I'm not suggesting it's an answer,
(08:37):
but it's a question. Bin Laden do far more, even
after his death, let alone after 9-11, because of our reaction.
not response. And in that sense, when I look at
(08:59):
the 9-11 commission findings, they weren't serious findings. And they
make me wonder if we're any more serious today. Do
we have a lot of security in place?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Do we have the enemy in focus?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And that's a criticism at every level. Because there are
those that don't know how, and it's difficult, I'll grant you,
to differentiate between jihadist Islam and a Muslim. Any better
today than 25 years ago? I can tell you the conditions,
(09:49):
this will be a very tough question for Colonel Bucci,
the conditions in Afghanistan.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
A rock?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Mean, when I watched Barack Obama negotiating the end of
the war with the Taliban, that was a surreal moment.
It doesn't get any weirder than that. And it would
be hard to look at the exit of Afghanistan after
(10:24):
20 years of war and claim any sense of victory.
So really, where are we 25 years later? And are
we even serious enough of people to have that conversation?
And I don't suggest that I have all the answers
or that collectively together we do. But are we even
asking the right questions? Are we even the right jury
(10:45):
of peers? Is this going to be a remembrance or
an honoring? Is this going to be a remembrance or
(11:09):
just another issue of divide? And a nation that loves
to pick sides have firm and movable opinions without the
discomfort of thought. It's a frightening proposition. And lucky for us,
we got all week to explore it and some really
smart people to explore it with. Labor Day is behind us.
(11:33):
A 25th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American
soil that could happen again. If we forget. If we
lose our sense. and senses of the lessons. Lose too
(11:59):
much of it, and you've lost already, whether they attack
again or not. Kick that around and more. Rory's going
to have the latest as diplomacy ramps up with Ukraine
and Russia. Of all the sounds of the day, it
happens to be the worst quality, but of the most
significant substance. Some of the comments made by the negotiating team.
(12:27):
And if you think we have an endless war with Iran,
how about the one that's going on six years? We'll
get the latest with Rory on that. Stephen Bucci is
going to be joining us, the Colonel, on 9-11, 25
years later. Of course, sounds of the day and more.
Miss a little, you'll miss a lot. Miss a lot,
of course, we will miss you. But lucky for you,
there'll be the podcast. Just search your morning show into
(12:48):
your iHeart app. It'll pop up. Give it a program.
I give everybody else a plug for a program. Program us.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That way our podcast is waiting for you every morning.
Sicker than a dog, but good to be back with you.
I am Michael Dalgiorno. Well, gold and silver recently soared
to record highs. Then it pulled back a little bit.
So question number one, are precious metals still a good buy? Well,
major banks think so. In fact, they're forecasting even higher
prices ahead.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
And why?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Well, $ 40- plus trillion of national debt, a declining dollar, inflation
that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way,
gold remains historically a hedge for wealth protection. That's why
Morgan Stanley ditched the 60-40 stock-to-bond portfolio ratio. They're now
recommending up to 20% in precious metals. They've gotten educated.
(13:37):
Maybe we should, too. With over $ 3 billion in transactions,
thousands of five-star reviews, and almost 30 years in the biz,
Lear Capital is my trusted precious metal source, and you

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Hey, Mike.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Welcome back. It's John from Southwest Ohio. We missed you.
How do you want your eggs? Hey, Michael. Just want
to say glad to have you back and hear you
basting in your own juices. My morning show is your
morning show. Well, good morning, crew.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
I just want to tell Mikey, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Glad to hear you. Good to see you at the
head of the table again. Like you, Bob. Well, thank you, Bob.
We're broadcasting live from the infirmary this morning where I
spent half of my vacation. I was in Ohio for
everybody there. Got to go to Youngstown, play a tippy canoe,
hang out with DZ. We went to Ohio in order
(15:01):
to play golf in more earthly temperatures than the surface
of the sun like we've been experiencing in Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And it was 100 degrees and felt like 106 while
we were playing in Ohio. And then thanks to air travel,
I came home and got really sick. So I should
just stay at work. I think I function better and
stay healthier just working every day. I think all of
us function better when you stay at work. Speaking of work,
(15:30):
a steel beam from the World Trade Center is set
to go on display at the White House today as
the nation prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the
9-11 terror attacks. Mark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
The Tunnel to Towers Steel Across America tour is bringing
the 16,000-pound beam to the ellipse. President Trump is expected
to deliver remarks.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A New York City firefighter has died
of World Trade Center-related illnesses just days before this 25th anniversary.
Tammy Trujillo has the details.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Retired FDNY Lieutenant Gerald Riley of Ladder 22 died last Thursday.
The Uniformed Firefighters Association says Riley was a devoted husband, father,
and grandfather and showed unwavering dedication during rescue and recovery
operations at Ground Zero. He died at the age of 75.
The Never Forget Project says that 343 firefighters were killed
(16:21):
on 9-11. Over 100 have died of World Trade Center-related
injuries or illness, and thousands more are now sick. I'm
Tammy Trujillo.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Canada's new tariffs on billions of dollars of American goods
are now in effect.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
The tariffs range from 15 to 50 percent, covering more
than $ 27 billion in U.S.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Imports.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
They target products including steel, dairy, appliances, farm equipment, electronics,
and paper products. Canadian officials say it's in response to
the 50% duties imposed by President Trump on Canadian goods.
This has tensions between President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister
Mark Carney continue to rise, and with trade talks stalled.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
In Washington, I'm Scott Carr. This is Rebecca in Spring Hill, Tennessee,
and my morning show is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno. Hey,
it's me, Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Your morning show is heard live from 5 to 8 a.m. Central,
6 to 9 a.m. Eastern, 3 to 6 a.m. Pacific
on great radio stations like News Radio 1190 KEX in Portland,
News Talk 550 KFYI in Phoenix, Arizona, and Freedom 1047
in Washington, D.C. We'd love to have you join us
live in the morning, even take us along on the
drive to work. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Birdie Bird gets the worm, Sleepy Squirrel misses the nuts,
so rise and shine. Throw that leg off the bed.
If I can play hurt and sick, you can rise
and listen well. If you're just waking up, gas prices
remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down. It's
primary day for New Hampshire today, and billions, B as
in Ross Perot. Was that a reprise? I don't know.
(18:04):
It just kind of started again. Is that one of
my faucets leaking? That's a 12-inch remix. Billions of dollars
in American goods are now subject to Canadian tariffs. Good
morning and welcome to Tuesday, September the 8th, 2026. Out
of the air, streaming live on your iHeart app. This
is your morning show, and I'm honored to serve you.
I'm Michael DelGiorno, sick and all. Can't have your morning
show without your voice. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
(18:27):
you'll notice a little microphone. Press it. It'll professionally count
you down, three, two, one. Give you 30 seconds to
make a comment, ask a question. And instantly, you say it,
you send it, and we all hear it. You take
your place at this morning's kitchen table. No more rotting
on hold and no more ignoring listeners. Talk radio is
a conversation again. Let's start with, I can't do all
(18:49):
this when I'm sick. Priscilla, Priscilla in Memphis.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Priscilla from Memphis here.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Welcome back to the kitchen table. We missed you.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
And happy belated birthday. And I'm sorry that you're sick.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You see, that's the love that only a woman can provide.
Did you hear the compassion in her voice? She was
like warm soup, wasn't she? Compare, compare Priscilla to Red.
Suck it up, big mouth. Fill some time. Read the prep.
To Michael in Ohio. Hi, Michael. This is Michael from Lebanon, Ohio.
(19:27):
Welcome back. Hope you feel better soon. All these things
that are going on, the questions that we wonder, question
I wonder, Michael, do you think Michigan deserved one last play? Well,
we can't blame this one on gambling, number one, right?
Because the spread was already shattered. Can you blame this
(19:51):
on too much reviewing and camera reviewing? Did a ball
hit the back of a foot out of bounds with
one one hundredth of one second? And yet you get
the next play and you convert it. So I, you know.
Did I think Michigan lost? Probably. Did they come away surviving? Yes.
(20:17):
Are they going to get a beating? Look, at some point,
I know we've got a lot of people listening in
Detroit and the Ann Arbor area. This was one of
the highest recruited quarterbacks in all of college football. He
had a higher score than Arch Manning. And I think
it's a bust. So I think OU is going to
(20:37):
slap them silly next week anyway. So it probably doesn't matter.
But Red and I were talking off the air. I
think everybody that has a vote in the top 10
was obviously enjoying a three-day weekend. Because we all watched
Oregon almost lose at home to Boise State. And they're
(20:57):
still number two in the country. And who didn't? And
I know I'm a homer because I went there. But
if I didn't go to LSU, look, this is an
all-star team. This is a stacked Lane Kiffin team. They're
paid professionals. These are like the best of the SEC.
And they just, I mean, steamrolled Clemson 51-10. And you
(21:20):
got them at 11? I don't know if I'd get
that one. I mean, at least OU beat up on
somebody that they should beat up on. And I understand
why they're 10th, but I don't know. I'm looking at
that top 10, and it doesn't look like anybody watched
the games but me this weekend. But isn't it nice
to have football back? And we have the NFL that's
going to get us underway. For the NFL, we're going
(21:43):
to start like we always do, I guess, with a
kickoff game. It used to be Thursday night. Now it's
Wednesday night. The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks
will kick off the 2026 NFL regular season. That'll be
Wednesday night at 720. And then I think they're playing
(22:03):
in Europe somewhere, aren't they? The 49ers and the Rams? Oh,
look at Red scrambling. Yeah, do your job, healthy boy.
Why don't you add something? What? They're playing in Germany.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Germany.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
All right, that's Europe. Last I looked. Close enough. It
still is, I guess. 49ers and Rams. And I think
it's the Rams that are saying, well, we're going to
try to get there as late as possible so that
there's no jet lag effect. Imagine you don't play all
preseason and your first game is in Germany. Only the NFL.
(22:36):
And follow the bouncing ball all year. We're going to
have to tell you exactly where games are because they're
somewhere different. That one on Netflix Wednesday night. We kick
off with the Patriots and Seahawks on NBC. Lisa is
also in Memphis, right? A lot of Memphis. And is
this another welcome back? Because I feel welcomed. Absolutely. Michael D.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Lisa in Tennessee. Yes, we all missed you. I'm hearing
all the regulars calling in this morning. And yeah, the
guys that covered for you did a great job as well.
I did get a chance to listen to some of
your podcasts, shows that I missed. And I missed your birthday.
I didn't realize it was your birthday. So I'm sorry
you're sick, but I hope you at least had a
great birthday.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And welcome back.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
My morning show is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Did I have a great birthday?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
My brother flew in. Great ones, though. I mean, you know,
they can't all be. Well, I mean, you know, when
when you could collect Social Security now officially, I look around.
I just I can't believe that Joan and Bob's youngest
son is 62. But I don't you know, I don't
feel 62. I don't look 62. I don't think about
(23:50):
being 62.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
And.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
If our only eternal life is Christ's life, mine has
already begun. So who's counting anymore? But it was a
good birthday. Then I went to Ohio, got to spend
some time with DZ, as I mentioned, so much for
the best laid plans. The whole point was to get
away from the surface of the sun that we've been
living in. Golf since June has been like a survival
(24:16):
of the fittest. And it doesn't matter how many gloves
I bring, they're not enough. You sweat through, can't hold
the club. You're dehydrated. You're feeling dizzy. I just wanted
to go play golf somewhere where I wasn't, you know, surviving,
but playing. How did that turn out for you? Well,
(24:36):
the coolest day was 93 felt like 102. Okay. Then
we had one that was 96. I don't want to exaggerate.
DC will be here tomorrow, but I think 96 felt
like 106.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
It was obnoxious. Wow. And Norm, DZ, and me, we
were weathering it. But I did get to play Tippy Canoe,
which was a very beautiful private country club.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Where I am king. Youngstown, Ohio. And then, yes, you
get on a plane. I think I know the... You
ever do that when you're flying and you get home?
You're like, I think I know the one that got
me sick. I think I saw her coughing.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
My way. sniffling, wiping her nose as she walks down
the aisle. That's what we need. When somebody sneezes or
starts coughing on a plane, that's when the little oxygen
thing needs to come down so we can all protect ourselves.
That's when I reach up and grab the little air
vent blower and make sure that it's blowing in my
face to blow all that stuff away. I was leaving
Cleveland and a horrific thunderstorm kicked up. So we weren't
(25:32):
allowed to board the plane. We later loaded the plane
and then got stuck on the plane from another thunderstorm.
That's another story. So I'm sitting there. They make the announcement.
Of course, I can see it out the window. It
looks like they're getting ready to film Wizard of Oz 3,
assuming Wicked was 2. Anyway, I digress. And as I'm
sitting there, I'm hearing that loud in my ear. Who
(25:58):
was that? Now, I'm at an airport, and I'm thinking
to myself, how fat is this person behind me that
they're breathing like a farm animal? And I'm on the
phone with my wife, and I slowly turn around, and
I'm looking into the eyes of the largest dog I've
ever seen in my life. No kidding? You know what?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You two never do appreciate my stories, but you will.
I did not take, this was right behind me, and
you can tell, I turned around and took the picture.
You got Marmaduke back there? And this is not an
angle that created this. I'm telling you, this is the
biggest dog I've ever witnessed in my life. Red. Can't
(26:44):
you check a dog? I mean, was that their emotional
support animal? Why didn't they just bring a giraffe? But
you can bring a dog in? If Michael Jackson would
have seen this dog, he'd have been fine without farm animals.
All right, so you ready? How long will this take
to get to you, I think? Probably just seconds. And
(27:05):
this is not an angle. I should put this on
Facebook for people. This dog sitting is bigger than its
owner sitting in the chair. That's what was breathing in
my ear. Did you get it yet? Holy smoke. Isn't
that the biggest dog you've ever seen in your life?
That's the dog from the Shaggy D.A., isn't it? I've
never seen it. And by the way, there's a hat
(27:26):
on the piece of luggage next to it. I presume
that's his hat. What is he? He's about, I don't
want to exaggerate. He's close to four feet sitting, isn't he? Yeah,
that's got to be, that's got to be 120 plus, right?
Speaker 7 (27:41):
120.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I have a friend who has a St. Bernard who's
bigger than that. Oh, I don't know. I've had, I
had two St. Bernard's growing up and I've had new fees.
I've never seen one that big. That's bigger than my
friend Pete's. What are those white ones that live in
the snow? I had the biggest dog. I don't even
know what it was. And then, of course, just like
(28:04):
everything else. Oh, it's a giraffe-a-doodle or something. I was
fixing to say, what type of doodle is that? Did
it have its own ticket? Seriously, how would you like
to have been on their row? Oh, this is my
emotional support dog. Actually, come to think of it, I
never saw him or heard him breathe on the plane.
Maybe he was the pilot. I don't know. I don't know.
(28:26):
That dog might be bigger than the lady. He was massive.
I don't know standing up what he would have been,
but he would have been closer to seven feet than six.
I mean, sitting, he's four feet. That's a big doodle.
And I did not. That's not an angle. And that's
what he sounded like in my ear. Maybe that's maybe
(28:48):
he got me sick. Maybe I have kettle cough. You
got some puppy flu. I got kettle cough. Flying is dirty,
nasty business, though, isn't it? And we pay for that.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
All right, enough of my griping. I'm back. I'm ready
to do my job. What is this week about? Is
America going to understand 9-11 any better 25 years later?
I suspect not, but we will prepare for that. Gas
prices remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down.
It's primary day in New Hampshire. Get ready to spend
billions of more dollars on American goods, all subject to
(29:22):
the Canadian tariffs. And New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani
says the current mayor, Mom Donnie, should skip 9-11 remembrance ceremonies. Oh,
he'll be smirking and smiling in present, I assure you.
That and more. We're going to get Rory O'Neill's take
coming up in just a little bit. on the latest
on the investigation of the crash of that Amazon cargo
(29:44):
plane over the weekend that killed five in Miami. And
I know the NTSB is moving forward with its investigation.
They recovered the flight data and audio recorders from the
deadly crash. Hopefully they'll piece together some answers. And later
in the third hour, Stephen Bucci on 9-11, 25 years later.
So stick around. If you miss a little, you'll miss
a lot. And thank you for all the welcome backs.
(30:07):
When police were searching the car of the man who
assassinated a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in their home,
they found a notebook. Inside were handwritten lists of 11 websites.
Not weapon sites, data brokers. People search sites that sell
your home And I mean, sell it for a couple
(30:31):
of quick bucks. Just type your name into one right
now and boom, there you'll be. Your address, your phone number,
your family's names. A photo in some cases of your
front door. Anyone can look you up in seconds and
you'll never know who did. That's why I use Incogni.
It forces data brokers and people search sites to delete you.
(30:51):
And it keeps after them because deleted data loves to
creep back. Incogni scrubbed my information from over 500 sites
so far. All while I did exactly nothing. Which is
why I say, you lock your doors every night. Tonight,
lock your address. Go to incogni.com slash Michael. Get 60%

Speaker 1 (31:32):
It's your morning show with michael del giorno.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I just realized spike is from youngstown i could have
saw spike Had him sign his drumsticks? I already have that. Oh,
did he sign them? But I could have played his drums.
He said, I wish I knew you were so close.
You were only 20 minutes from me. I would have
tried to make a plan. Yeah, we didn't have much.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Time.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I mean, every second was kind of accounted for. And
that was a private club. Although I will say at
the club, which I kept getting the name wrong over
and over again, pronouncing it different ways. But I broke
the hot dog machine. or whatever, the cover. I thought
it opened from the bottom, and there was actually like
(32:16):
a window for it. So it goes tumbling, and this
woman comes over. Oh, it happens all the time. I said,
did I break it? Oh, no, it'll go right back on.
And the guy I was playing with from the bar said, yeah,
Michael's in town from Nashville. He's a radio host. And
she goes, I listen every morning. And I thought, oh,
that's impossible. How does this person know who I am?
(32:38):
I'm in Youngstown, Ohio. You know, you forget when you're national.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I said, you do not. You don't have to say that.
Because I know Chris was filling in this morning. He's
not you. But and I was like, holy cow, I
am the king of Youngstown. Then she later waited on
me for lunch, took a picture with me. Her husband
didn't believe she was. I mean, you know, what's that Stallone?
Let me tell you something. You feel like a member.
Our first day was it was it. Did we ever
(33:02):
figure out if it was Sacramento or Phoenix? I think
it was Phoenix first. When the guy called up and said,
where the hell's Bill O'Reilly? Oh, yeah, that guy. I
think that was Sacramento, wasn't it? What's up with the
morning show? I'm listening to some guy from Akron. I
don't know why you thought it was Akron. Where the
hell is Bill O'Reilly? Yeah, where's Bill? Somebody's messing up
(33:22):
on the board operation. Listen, most people do not welcome
us to their town, but we are the kings of Youngstown.
I had a wonderful time in your city, Spike. You
have a town full of very, very special, wonderful people.
It was great to meet you. And a picture you
like still long. What is that, King of Tulsa? Is
that King of Tulsa? Yeah. I only watched the first season.
(33:44):
He just took over the guy's marijuana business. Gas prices
remain high as the long holiday weekend winds down. It's
primary day in New Hampshire and billions of dollars of
our American goods are about to be subject to Canadian tariffs.
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday, September the 8th, year
of our Lord 2026. One of the things we're gearing
(34:04):
up for is the 25th anniversary of 9-11 coming up
on Friday. A steel beam from the World Trade Center
is set to be on display at the White House.
Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
The Tunnel to Towers Steel Across America tour is bringing
the 16,000-pound beam to the ellipse. President Trump is expected
to deliver remarks. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Well, New York City Mayor Mamdani says he will attend
Friday's 9-11 remembrance ceremony despite growing criticism. Sarah Lee Kessler reports.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
A petition circulated by some 9-11 victims' families urging Mamdani
to reconsider has drawn 100,000 signatures.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
It offends me that he's coming.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani saying Zoran Mamdani should skip the
9-11 ceremony, accusing him of being too tolerant of radical Islam.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
I'm proud to be the mayor of this city.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I love this city. I love this country.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Mayor Mamdani reacting at the West Indian Day Parade. Here's
Governor Kathy Hochul. Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Kirk Schumer.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
I think it would be more insulting to the vast
majority if.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He did not come.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
As far as 9-11 is concerned, he represents the city
of New York.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
He should certainly come.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Well, if I wasn't sick, I'd audition myself. Wheel of
Fortune is looking for a new announcer. Wheel of Fortune!
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Sony Pictures Television has fired longtime announcer Jim Thornton after
TMZ published photos, it says, show him viewing a chat
room containing images of children on a laptop during a
flight in May. The circumstances surrounding the photos have not
been independently verified. Thornton's replacement will serve as interim announcer
when the show returns September the 14th.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Today we raise our hand, palm forward,
fingers spread apart. It's a very important day in the
sci-fi world.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Today is Star Trek Day, honoring when the first show
aired back in 1966. It was a breakthrough, as it
was a sci-fi show designed for adults. Kirk, Spock, and
McCoy led the team. It made the actors household names,
even though William Shatner couldn't pull off the Vulcan salute
without glue. And for the record, no one ever said,
beam me up, Scotty.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
Today, dress up.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Consider it a Halloween pregame. Watch a show and learn
a little Klingon.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Jup.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Look it up. I'm Brie Tennis. Nobody ever said, beat
me up, Scotty? I don't remember. I'm shocked. We're all
in this together. This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
