Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
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 3 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
A new way of talk.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
A new way of understanding. Because... We're in this together.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
Well, no big surprises in New Hampshire. John Sununu wins
the Republican Senate primary. Primary season continues in New England
with Rhode Island voters headed to the polls today. Israeli
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is denying a report that he
was warned ahead of time about the deadly October 7th
Hamas attack in Israel.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Talk about bad timing.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
The RNC midterm convention starts in Dallas tonight, as does
the NFL season. I wonder what you'll be watching. It's
a rematch of Super Bowl 60. Patriots and Seahawks will
kick off the NFL season tonight on NBC. And in
doing so, so begins all of the gambling commercials. I
noticed yesterday there was nothing I could have on television

(01:11):
while I was home from school sick that didn't have
a gambling commercial. That must mean America's ready to bet
billions of dollars. Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent, is here.
Good morning, Rory.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Hey there, Michael. Good morning. And yeah, go bet on
my Patriots.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
No, I'm teasing.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
But yeah, $ 29. 5 billion.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
That's what the American Gaming Association estimates will be bet
on NFL games this season. Now, that's through regulated commercial sports.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
$ 29. 5 billion, up.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
From $ 29. 4 billion last year. So why such a small increase? Well,
let's blame those prediction markets, websites, off a lot of
the business, even though they're not technically sports gambling related.
The AGA says about 80% of the sports bets make

(02:02):
up Kalshi's business.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
And something else to note, on some of those.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
Prediction markets, in particular, you don't have to be 21
in order to bet.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
You only have to be 18 years old.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
And they say there's about $ 5. 1 billion being bet on
some of these games by.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
People who are between 18 and 20 years old. $ 5 billion. Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Nothing to be scared of there.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
All right.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
So, you know, the Kaushis and them, we think, well,
they're betting on politics. They're betting on everything in life.
But 80% at the end of the day is sports
as well. and a way to get around being 21.
I think I can connect dots.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
In total, they think that there's more being bet on
prediction markets than being bet now through regular sports books.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
And what do we know about the old way of betting?
Bookies or sports books in casinos? What percentage do they
make up still?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well, it's about maybe even....

Speaker 6 (03:05):
There are some estimates it gets a little cloudy because
of the way the prediction markets work, but some have
said between $ 36 and $ 56 billion will be spent on
prediction market betting this season compared to, as I said,
$ 29. 5 billion in the regulated commercial sports books. You know, look,
the sports books are different. They generate 1.8 billion jobs

(03:27):
in the country, pay $ 18 billion a year in sports
betting taxes. And these prediction markets are often operating in places,
states that don't want it, places like Utah that don't
want sports betting.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
And now they can't get around it.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
So how long before the government catches up or the
deals they've made in an industry catches up and says,
wait a minute, All these predictive markets are doing is
they're getting into states where gaming is illegal and getting
around age limitations.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Right. That's where the courts are getting involved. A lot
of pending litigation is out there.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
I think even we heard from the NFL saying they
were not jumping into any sponsorship deals with prediction markets.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
They didn't really say why.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
But it was sort of wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Let's
wait to see what the courts have to say.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
You ever look around, Rory, and go, All of a sudden,
we're all fat. We're all gambling. We're all smoking pot.
What has happened to us? Rory's going to be back
in the third hour.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
You meant that as a bad thing. No, I'm joking. No,
it's terrible.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
It is. Well, let's do something happy in the third hour.
How happy are you and your neighbors compared to the
rest of the country? Rory's got the results of that
polling coming up in the third hour. Listen, I live
in a state that turned to Sports gaming. And look,
at the end of the day, when it comes to debt,

(04:56):
you can blame both parties. When it comes to divisions
in our country, you can blame both parties. There's certain
things that you can blame on certain parties. When it
comes to sports betting, this one sits on the Republicans.
This is deals the Republicans all created. And our Republican
governor wanted to brag that he turned down casino gaming.

(05:20):
There's nobody in the casino business that wants to continue
to clean your room or provide you brunch or pay
for dealers. They've got sports happening everywhere, something at all times.

(05:41):
And it's destroying families. I mean, if you're a nation
$ 40 trillion in debt, do you really want to gamble
with your future?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Because we are. And that kicks off.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Tonight, too.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Can't have your morning show without your voice, nor would we.
Let's start with talkbacks. And I got several emails I
want to get to. We're going to start with Michael,
who's listening in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Good morning. I'm Michael.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
This is Michael from Lebanon, Ohio. You know, there's commercials.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
And always the halftime to switch over and watch a
little bit of the convention.

Speaker 8 (06:17):
Your morning show is my morning show with Michael Dill.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, you could flick over. I have to start with this.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
We didn't always, I mean, constitutionally, an executive, the president,
has to deliver a State of the Union to Congress
in writing. That has now become one of the great
pomp and circumstance commercial-type television worldwide events. Conventions throughout my life,

(06:51):
I have witnessed them become television events. Never has there
been a midterm convention. If it were to be successful,
you could almost bet your life that there would be
an RNC midterm convention and a DNC midterm convention every
midterm election. Do we really need more nonstop campaigning, more

(07:12):
nonstop rah-rah? When does anybody just govern and solve these problems?
When will they take representing and solving as serious as
getting elected? I mean, there is a part of me
that wants to say out loud, I'm kind of rooting
against this. I don't want this to succeed. There'll be

(07:32):
more of it. Are you saying you'd rather the Democrats
win in the midterm? No, and I don't even think
this is going to move the needles. Trump's going to
turn it into a rally. All the other speakers I've
heard from. If I watch football, they might get a concussion.

(07:54):
If I watch this convention, I might get a concussion.
But yeah, there's always the option to flick back and forth. Memphis, Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 7 (08:02):
Try a little mint tea and honey.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
It's great for your throat. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
See how sweet that is? That's all it takes. Just
someone to call in, pay attention to me, focus on
how I'm playing hurt for you, and show some compassion.
I've tried everything. So I did tea, honey, with a
little shot of something from the cabinet last night. They

(08:30):
gave me like a prescription NyQuil. That stuff was lights out.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
That worked.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
I got an inhaler. I got what I got. This
is how I sound. I'm going to be like Larry King. Larry,
how's he doing now? JR is listening in Phoenix on KFYI.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Good morning, gentlemen. This is JR from Phoenix, bouncing across
the USA in the semi. Listen to you every morning.
And I would just like to proclaim that I would
happily watch paint dry over an NFL game So too
bad I don't share your views of it. It could
probably be fun, but I just don't.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Have a great day. Hope you get better.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
I'll be as honest with no honk. You can give
us a toot. Listen, we have a little rule here
around your morning show. I never grew up. I still
like at the end. No, my brother and I are
very honest about it. We should be boycotting the NFL.
We should be boycotting NHL hockey.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
NBA.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
We're really pretty good at not watching. NFL, we're addicted.
We can't help it. We apologize. Doesn't matter what they do.
They can't run me off. I'm too addicted.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
I don't bet it, but I love it. This game
in particular doesn't interest me. To be honest with you,
as God is my witness, I'll probably watch neither the
RNC midterm convention in Dallas or I've made red the
designated viewer tonight of the RNC convention. He'll fill me
in in the morning, but I probably won't watch this
game either. I didn't care about it when it was
the Superbowl, let alone the kickoff to the regular season. Um,

(10:08):
email Roger writes from Sacramento. Good morning, Michael. So if
we're online, um, I don't know if you're having any interference, Adam.
If you are, you can always switch to the backup.
But I don't... I can't tell if you are.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh, okay. Then I'll ignore that.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
He said, if you're online and you're not paying for something,
you're the product. If that's true, I don't pay for
your morning show or the iHeart app. Does that mean
I'm the product?

Speaker 4 (10:37):
No.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
The show is the product. And in this model, advertisers
pay for it. You get to simply enjoy it.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
And.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Hear about great products that can make a meaningful difference
in your life. We're still using the old model. But
when you're online and you're using something, if it's free,
you need to realize that you are the product and
you are the one being manipulated. That's the difference between the.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Internet and radio. But it was a cute line.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Roy writes, according to Grok AI, roughly 30% of the
current U.S. population wasn't alive on 9-11. Most people that experienced,
I mean, a lot of people that experienced 9-11 are
no longer with us. That's what time does. Time is
a funny thing. We talked about this yesterday. When I

(11:26):
was like five, six years old, Adolf Hitler was roughly
the same amount of time ago as 9-11 is now.
That just doesn't even seem possible, right? When I was young,
Adolf Hitler seemed like forever ago. Now, the difference between
Adolf Hitler and these jihadists that still have the calling

(11:48):
to take over the world that threat still exists. I
grew up in the Cold War seeing black and white
videos of Hitler. What caused 9-11 and the horror of
it and the loss of life of it, that threat

(12:11):
still exists. That's why it's not enough to remember. We
must honor. And how do we honor? Well, yeah, by
making our life count. but also by ensuring it never
happens again because it was them and it could have
been us and it might be us next time.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Was the point of the conversation. But yes, that's a
frightening number.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
30% of the American population did not experience 9-11 and
their views of 9-11 could be coming from a podcast
or a website or a conspiracy theory or a partisan narrative.
Time's probably not on our side on keeping the story
right on 9-11. Blake writes, Christianity versus Islam. Michael, it's

(13:00):
really simple. God gave Jesus. Jesus gave his life. Muhammad took.
Rick writes, few will watch, and then the Matrix will
send each side clips out of context and say, yay.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
For our side.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Well, that's this whole us versus them, right, that this
has become. Nobody watches anything in real time and in
context anymore.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Few do. The many get clips, and.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
The left will get the clips that they want, sometimes
out of context, to feed their narrative. The right will
do the same with theirs. We're one of the few
places that always emphasize this. Listen, in real time and
in context. My problem is I don't really care much
about this NFL matchup tonight, Patriots and Seahawks, and I

(13:57):
don't really care much about starting a new tradition of
midterm conventions. But John Decker will be in Dallas tonight,
and he'll be with us next half hour to give
his take on that. Our senior contributor, David Zanotti, will
join us on that. The primary results in New Hampshire
and 9-11 25 years later. That's all within the next
hour as your morning show continues next.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Torno.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
28 minutes after the hour, results are in from the
New Hampshire primaries.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Mark Mayfield has the results.

Speaker 9 (14:32):
John Sununu has won the Republican Senate primary in New Hampshire,
defeating former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown. Congressman Chris Pappas is
the winner of the Democratic Senate primary.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
He defeated progressive Karishma Manzoor.

Speaker 9 (14:45):
Sununu and Pappas will face.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Off in the midterms. I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
The RNC midterm convention is about to get underway in
Dallas for two nights.

Speaker 10 (14:52):
President Trump will speak both nights with Vice President Vance
speaking Thursday as well. Other speakers include Senators Ted Cruz
and Rick Scott, along with many others seeking higher offices.
There is no party business to conduct, as in a
traditional convention. RNC website says the convention is a way
of reflecting the contrast between Republican and Democrat candidates leading

(15:14):
into the November midterms.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
I'm Scott Kimbler. Well, you didn't think they were going
to forget to, did you? Apple preparing to roll out
new devices today.

Speaker 11 (15:22):
The event is called Surprise and Shine. It's expected to
feature the long-awaited debut of a foldable iPhone. It will
also be a big moment for Apple's brand-new CEO, John Ternes,
with this being his first launch ever after taking over
for Tim Cook. I'm Tammy Trujillo.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
The NFL regular season kicks off tonight with a Super
Bowl 60 rematch.

Speaker 9 (15:40):
The Seahawks win their championship banner against the runner-up Patriots
from Seattle. The Hawks trounced the Pats 29-13 in a
lopsided victory to hoist the Lombardi Trophy last season. Week
one continues on Thursday when the Rams and the 49ers
duel from Australia.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
That's your top five stories of the day. Michael Buble, 51.
Hugh Grant, 66. Adam Sandler, 60. If it's your birthday,
happy birthday. So glad you were born, and thanks for
waking up with your morning show.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Torno.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Hi, this is Mike from Lebanon, Ohio, and my morning
show is your morning show with Micah DiGiorno.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
35 minutes after the hour for the Eastern Time Zone.
You got about 25 minutes to be to work on time.
Thanks for bringing us along. This is your morning show
on the air and streaming live on your iHeart app.
Coming up next hour, a visit with Jimmy Brown, one
of the original members of UB40. You remember the reggae
version of Red Red Wine and other hits. They're on
their unstoppable 40th anniversary tour. We'll catch up with Jimmy

(16:47):
next hour. Also, our senior contributor, David Zanotti, on the
results in New Hampshire last night, as well as 9-11,
25 years later. John Sununu winning the Republican primary in
New Hampshire. The primary season continues in New England with
Rhode Island voters headed to the polls today. Meanwhile, the
Supreme Court is rejecting Missouri Republicans' emergency request to use

(17:10):
new congressional maps for the midterm elections. Another bad timing
story for Republicans today. The other might be the RNC
midterm convention starting two nights in Dallas, Texas. It coincides
with the kickoff of the NFL season with a rematch
of last year's Super Bowl. We do know some of

(17:31):
the people that are going to be speaking. The list
is not complete, but it includes, of course, the president,
the vice president, several different cabinet members. who will be
making speeches tonight. We're also expecting Donald Trump Jr. to speak,
as well as Caroline Leavitt, the former White House press secretary,

(17:55):
will be speaking, and the Speaker of the House, Johnson,
will also be speaking. So here comes a rah-rah, never-before
midterm convention for the Republicans, if successful. I'll bet you
could expect a Democrat midterm convention in four years. And
do we really want more conventions? Is White House correspondent

(18:18):
John Decker here?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Not here yet.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
All right.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
You'll let me know when he's here. There is a
few no-shows, too, for tonight. Susan Collins is one of them,
as well as Dan Sullivan. There might be more, but
that's two that we know will not be attending tonight's
midterm convention. And, you know, things just keep coming to
a head in New York City. with the 9-11 anniversary

(18:44):
coming up on Friday. Now you have the fire department
chief calling for Mayor Mamdani not to attend. You have
many family members who have signed a petition for him
not to attend. The controversy centers around appointment of a
terrorist defense attorney, as well as a lot of Islamist-type views.

(19:08):
And Al-Sayed And his comments in a podcast five years
ago have also come to the surface. So we do
have this kind of subtext today of bad timing. 9-11
for the Democrats prior to a midterm election. And the

(19:28):
Republicans in a convention on the night NFL kicks off.
John Decker is our White House correspondent already in Dallas
for the Republican midterm convention. I remember a time, John,
when all the president had to do was a written
State of the Union.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
This couldn't become a new tradition.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Could it? Well, we'll see.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
This is President Donald Trump, and he's breaking tradition. There's
never been a midterm convention by either party before. But
the president really says that he needs this to energize
Republican voters because his name, of course, will not be
at the top.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Of the ballot.

Speaker 7 (20:02):
His name will not be on the ballot at all.
And as a result, typically we see depressed turnout for
the party that's in power during the midterms. This is
an effort to increase that turnout and increase that energy
for Republicans.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
Ahead of the midterms. We got a leak of the
speakers list. And, you know, again, obviously, Donald Trump is
the big draw. Other speakers would be RFK Jr., Vice
President Vance, some cabinet members. I guess Caroline Leavitt and
Donald Trump Jr. being non-cabinet members, Speaker of the House

(20:38):
Mike Johnson, John Barrasso and Tim Scott from the Senate side.
But again, this is This is Donald Trump to carry,
and this is a partisan reach for the base. And,
of course, the timing of on the opening night of
the NFL regular season. Did they not know that when
they scheduled this?

Speaker 7 (20:57):
Well, look, you know, if you're going to have a
midterm convention, you have to have it, you know, as scheduled.
as reasonably close to the midterm itself, November the 3rd
as possible. At the same time, the NFL season is
indeed kicking off, uh, and you're going to compete competing
with that. And it's tough to compete with the NFL.
So we'll see what kind of, uh, viewership that we

(21:19):
have for tonight's day one, and then, of course, for
tomorrow's day two. The president will speak.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Both tonight and tomorrow night.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
The people that you mentioned are also going to be
speaking over the course of the next 48 hours. One
person who will not be speaking, however, not here at
this convention, is the Senate Majority Leader, John Thune. And
of course, the president has expressed his frustration with the
Senate Majority Leader, For what the president says is his
inability to.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Pass the Save America Act.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
The numbers are not there. So it's not John Doon's fault.
If the numbers are not there, as I've said before,
you can't get.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Blood from Iraq.

Speaker 7 (21:59):
And that's the situation as it relates to trying to
get passage of the Save America.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Act in the U.S.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
Senate.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
All right.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
So bottom line, here comes the convention to rally the base.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I'll say it so they don't hate you.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
One way to rally the base would be not have
oil at $ 100 a barrel, have the Strait of Hormuz
opened up, not be in the middle of a trade
war with Canada that went into effect the day prior.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
I mean, I.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Could go down the list of things that might be
bad timing for Republicans tonight.

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Well, that's a pretty good start to your list.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
That's for sure.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
You know, these are headwinds. These are major headwinds for Republicans.
Is gas going to miraculously.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Come down in price? between now and.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
November, anything's possible, right?

Speaker 4 (22:47):
But it seems chances of that are very slim.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
And, you know, I think that voters are frustrated. They're
frustrated in regards to what they have to do. In
some cases, every few days, fill up the gas tank,
and it's getting costly. You know, there are budgets that
people have that are really being tested.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
So there's that.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
And then you also mentioned the trade war between Canada.
Both of these situations, were situations created because of policies
that the president has pursued. In the one case, it's,
of course, a trade war that the president has pursued
against Canada, our second largest trading partner.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
And in the other case, it's.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
A war that the U.S. started against Iran back in
late February. Are these unforced errors?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
We'll have to wait and see what the results of
the November election are. But there certainly are headwinds that
Republicans face heading into November.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Yeah, you wonder if he's rallying the MAGA base or
the Republican Party base. That might be two different goals
and both difficult with the NFL. What's coming up today
on the White House briefing room?

Speaker 7 (23:54):
Well, we're going to be talking about quite a few
things on.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
The briefing room. A, we're going to be talking.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
About what we can expect over the course.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Of the next two days.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
I'm in Dallas at this Republican midterm convention. We'll be
talking about the latest news thing that has occurred as
it relates to that trade war between the U.S. and Canada,
and also talking about what we can expect in terms
of presidential announcements over the course of the next few

(24:23):
weeks leading up to the midterms to energize the Republican base.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
All of that on the White House briefing room today.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, just search White House Briefing Room or John, J-O-N, Decker,
into your iHeart app.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
It'll pop right up. Give it a program position. That
way it's waiting for you every morning.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
And we will review night one and preview night two
speakers tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
John, thanks for joining us.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
You got it.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
Thanks so much.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Have a great day. Bye-bye.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
You got it.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
John Decker in Dallas for the RNC Midterm Convention tonight.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
All right, everybody.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Lock and load.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
I'm not joking.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
Talk a little bit closer at the mic.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
That was just complete, not only misinformation, but it was racist.
Did they fail you?

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Always revealing, often entertaining time for your sounds of the day.
This takes us to a police news conference where three
were killed over the weekend, and we have a new
name for shooters now.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
You mentioned a proactive approach.

Speaker 12 (25:19):
Can you be specific about what's being done in these
areas as far as maybe increasing patrols or working with
business owners?

Speaker 13 (25:26):
Working with business owners, increasing patrols, bike patrols, working with
our community.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Response group and our gun violence reduction unit as well.

Speaker 13 (25:34):
Looking at ways to where we can identify individuals that
are known.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
We call them trigger pullers in our.

Speaker 13 (25:40):
Community, identifying them, making sure that we put cases on
those individuals, working with King County Prosecutor's Office to bring
these individuals to justice.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
That's what we call them. They're trigger pullers. Police officers
are trigger pullers. Hunters are trigger pullers.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
They're not murderers. They're not criminals. They're not shooters. They're
Trigger puller. Well, that makes all the difference in the world.
Double secret probation, sir? This is the father of David Beamer,
who was one of the 9-11 Flight 93 heroes. We've

(26:21):
had this long conversation about the inconvenient timing of an
Islamist socialist mayor of our largest city in the primary
site of the 9-11 attacks 25 years later. And the
difference between remembering and honoring. And whether or not the

(26:43):
lessons learned have been dimmed by time.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's a surprise.

Speaker 14 (26:47):
Our enemies haven't gone away. Unfortunately, some enemies are now
coming from within. And their next attack, they have been planning.
against our way of life, our government, all of our institutions,
the same things that the terrorists were attacking on 9-11.
These enemies from within are citizens. They identify themselves as

(27:12):
democratic socialists. Their platform is one that aims to destroy
all the values and the foundations of this country that
we've enjoyed for hundreds of years, that thousands and millions
of Americans.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Have sacrificed to Keep it going.

Speaker 14 (27:31):
These democratic socialists are really more closely aligned with domestic
terrorists than our way of life.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
A couple of things, and again, unspeakable loss this man
has experienced for 25 years, so far be it from me.
The democrat socialist goal is to first and foremost take
over the democrat party. then get rid of the Electoral College,

(28:01):
then dismantle the Republic. The Democrats allowed this in because
they were playing the us versus they game and whatever
it takes, illegal votes, socialist votes, whatever it takes to
get the Ds. We'll control who the D is when
they get to Washington. But then like a parasite grows
and attacks the host, how it really ends is if

(28:24):
the parasite wins, the host dies and the parasite dies
with it. or eventually the host fights and kills the parasite.
I think the Democrats are allowing this to have its run,
willing to sacrifice whatever it costs them to come back
and win the White House in 2028 with a sensible

(28:46):
realignment to the center. What I think he might be
missing is the Islamist elements within the social Democrat movement.
And they'll fight along with them, but they will eventually
fight them to get control. A socialist and Islamist have

(29:08):
two completely separate goals. About as separate as agnostic or
atheists and Islamists want that theocracy could have. But there's
no question those elements have united. Nor would I rule

(29:29):
out another attack. Look, terrorists will keep going back to
the same place. 9-11 wasn't even the first time the
towers were attacked. They were first blown up in 93
by terrorist elements. They just finished the job on 9-11.
I pray for my country. I pray for the security

(29:50):
of our people because it's 9-11 again, because it's in
New York City, and because it's a 25th anniversary. Now,
I want to get to Frank Siller, who is the
CEO of Tunnels to Towers. He had a meaningful discussion
yesterday about the difference between remembering and honoring.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Because freedom isn't free. And all those families know that.

Speaker 15 (30:16):
All those families have paid.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
A big price for your freedom, for my freedom. And
we have to earn the life that they gave us.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
St.

Speaker 14 (30:28):
Francis of Assisi said, brothers and sisters, while we have time,
let us do good.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
And I will say what we are doing is good.
It is our responsibility. It is our honor.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
And it is our promise.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
While the Republicans aren't the only ones having a midterm convention,
so did the communists. Jesse Waters runs down some of
the speakers.

Speaker 12 (30:54):
We have to give up the fantasy of being fitter
than the fascists. Fitness is a measure of relative disposability
under capitalism. In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.
Revolution is not a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies.

Speaker 15 (31:15):
Their motto is the opposite of Nike. Just don't do it.
Don't work out. Don't work. Stay home, stay online, and
wait for the call.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
What's growing in this room... is very dangerous.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Own it. Own the fact that we are a dangerous crew.

Speaker 15 (31:36):
What makes them so dangerous, besides the wanting to overthrow
the country kind of thing, is that they're boycotting the country.
They're not striving to improve themselves or the country they
live in. Millions of Americans with nothing to live for
and no hope for a better future actually is quite dangerous.
The Green Party got in the mix. Jill Stein's VP nominee, Dr.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Butch, the butcher, unleashed a battle cry for the ages.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Y'all ain't dreamed big enough yet.

Speaker 10 (32:05):
And also some of these clickety clack revolutionaries have never
been in a gunfight.

Speaker 15 (32:11):
But some of us that grew up in the hood
know what guns are like.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
You are ready for a war in the streets.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
No, you ain't.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Y'all ain't nowhere near ready for a war in the streets.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I have told you the story of the shadow campaign
to save the democracy lost in that story is what
the far left had planned. If they were unable to
defeat Donald Trump with Joe Biden, and that was insurrection.
So much so when they were shocked that Biden won,
they were having a hard time calling it off. What

(32:46):
will the communist socialist Islamists do? If they don't win
in the elective process, I think you just got the hint.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
And that's your sounds of the day for Wednesday, September
the 9th, year of our Lord, 2026.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Torno.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
Adam filling in for Jeffrey today. Red keeping an eye
on all the top stories. John Sununu wins the Republican
Senate primary in New Hampshire.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
No big shock there.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
The continued primaries in New England head to Rhode Island
as voters go to the polls today. The RNC midterm convention.
Do you plan to watch it or are you watching
the NFL season kickoff?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
With the Seahawks and the Patriots.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
And Jimmy Brown of the UB40 band celebrating their 40th
year with their Unstoppable Tour. He joins us along with
senior contributor David Zanotti as your morning show continues next.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael DelGiorno.
