Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard weekday mornings in great
cities like Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee.
And we got you covered in California, San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine, but we're thrilled you're here now. Enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
One, two, three.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
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.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Well, today marks one year since the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
The assassination took place in Utah. Rhode Island voters rejected
incumbent Governor Dan McKee in their primaries last night. President
Trump told supporters at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas
that he may not be on the ballot in November.
But vote like he is. Good morning and welcome to Thursday,
(00:55):
September the 10th, Year of Our Lord 2026. On the air,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
Honored to serve you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I'm Michael.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I remember I was, and this is long before there
were barricades that kept you away. In 1989, you could
walk all over our nation's capital. I remember I was
walking with a friend of mine, Tom Crimseer, who happened
to be my boss at the time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And we were walking around the Capitol building.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
At that point, you could just walk right around and
look into windows and And he turned to me and
he said something that I thought was very interesting. He goes,
you know, when you really think about it, Michael, there
are three capitals in America. There's New York City, the
money capital. There's here, Washington, D.C., the power capital. And
then there's Los Angeles, the sensual capital. And he was
(01:41):
making the distinction that with power, you have both instant sensuality,
which we see with politicians. That's why there's so many
scandals that happened. These people aren't used to being around
well-dressed young women who worship them. And they often fall
to that temptation. Because when you have power, you have
everyone's money and you have instant sensuality. It was an
(02:03):
interesting conversation and distinction. But there's no question what New
York symbolizes. And there's no question why the terrorists targeted it,
both literally and symbolically. And I was thinking about that yesterday.
And it brought me back to an old dividend cafe
with our economist, David Bonson. I think you did it
back in 2025, just kind of discussing the economic significance
(02:27):
of the targets of 9-11, both literally and symbolically. I
thought that'd be a pretty good review before the 25th anniversary.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Good morning, David. Well, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
And yeah, it is an important topic. It's obviously somber.
It's something a lot of us here in New York
City are thinking about today and will be tomorrow. But
I recall writing that dividend cafe and stand by that
message to this day. I don't think it's got enough coverage.
I appreciate you bringing it up. We think of the
loss of human lives. We think of the attack on
(02:58):
the country. We think of all of those things that
are really the heart of the matter. But there was
this subtext, which was... We want to link out their
capital markets, their pre-enterprise systems rooted to a certain financial
market participation that no one else in the world has,
no one else in the world can have. And if
(03:19):
you could ever undermine American capital markets, you can undermine America.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I was watching a History Channel documentary, which, by the way,
I would have to say was done very well. And
it really walks you through everything that led up to 9-11.
And it really goes back really all the way to 79,
let alone 89. But an assassination of a rabbi in
New York in 89 was very significant and a radicalized
(03:47):
Al Farouk Mosque in New York City. And where a
lot of the who's who of Al Qaeda were roaming
our streets and plotting assassinations and disruptions. In fact, we
all know historically that The World Trade Center was attacked
in 93 first and then finished in 2001. But when
you follow that trail, that obsession seemed to be over
(04:13):
one of two things, Israel and or U.S. physically, that's
what the Gulf War represented, physical American boots in an
Islamic country. That seemed to be the rub. Where did
the financial rub come from? Because the source of all
the money for that Al Farouk mosque that has now
since multiplied to many other states, that's a whole other
(04:35):
scary notion, that was being funded by bin Laden even
back then through the Sheikh and others. So when did
the significance turn to the money capital of the world?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Well, I think it was always there, but what you're
highlighting was their source of anger at America geopolitically, and
they realized as a tactic that undermining the financial markets
would take down such a core element of American society.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And I would point out.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
that the decadence that they perceive of American Western living
was something that bin Laden was attacking in the late
70s or early 80s.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
There is a.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Long stream in both Sunni and Shiite Muslim traditions and
attacking American prosperity. Now, I think that the sophistication that
they added to their back of saying, hey, if we
bring down these buildings and we undermine their economic confidence,
(05:41):
there is a part of it that they were steadily wronging.
But it was something that they've done in Israel where
they say, hey, let's try to get people afraid to
go out. And it was my fear up in 9-11
that we wouldn't have another 9-11 attack, but we'd start
having bombs inside trash cans and parks and things that
(06:02):
weren't mass casualty events, smaller casualty events that nevertheless bring
terror on American people. This was why I think the
Bush administration's response to 9-11 was and appropriate is that
we rooted out a lot of these cells that did
want to do some of that local terrorism. And yet
(06:22):
we have had plenty of incidents. It was more an
ISIS thing about a decade later. But homegrown radicalism here
in the U.S.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is still a major issue. And I think it's something
we need to focus on more.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, people forget this. You brought up Sunni and Shia.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And again, when you think of Shia, you think of Iran,
you think of Hamas, some of these radical terrorist organizations.
Bin Laden himself was Sunni and studied under the School
of Islamic Theology.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Of the Sunni.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And in fact, there were some radicalizations towards using terror
tactics against more than just fighting with the Mujahideen that
he prided himself on, that radicalized him. Gave us a
glimpse of what Sunni and Shias uniting can look like,
which was kind of frightening. Do you think, David, I
want to talk to the theologian, David Bonson, as much
(07:15):
as the economist. We used to do things like critical thinking.
We used to do things like comparative religions. You would
think after 9-11, there would have been a more reasonable
study of Of what we're dealing with here. And I think,
you know, like everything, we take opinions without the discomfort
of thought. It's important everybody understands these elements and what
(07:37):
they believe and what can be tolerated and what must
never be tolerated.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Why don't we do that?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, you know, you mentioned that documentary, which I also
was very fond of, and it prominently featured my very
dear friend, Andy McCarthy, who was the lead prosecutor after
the 93 Trade Center, and he's the one who brought
the charges against the blind sheep.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
He did write a.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Very comprehensive book pointing out some of the noteworthy comparative
religious observations, and he was an ambassador for it. And
anybody else who did that when it came to Islam,
was treated as if they were doing something, you know, Islamophobic.
And I think a very objective religious analysis of what
(08:24):
the belief systems are is entirely fair, appropriate, and I
would argue necessary. And you are arguing correctly. It's lacking. Look,
there's a political correctness. It's become a sort of secularized
American religion. But that's not acceptable for Christians. That's not
exactly it for those of us who want to understand
what's what. I think it is something that is lacking
(08:48):
and has been for some time. And we happen to
be talking about it in the context of an Islamic fanaticism,
but I don't see the harm in people understanding all sorts.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Of what compared to religions each.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
And I think from a standpoint of Christian apologetics, it's
entirely necessary. How can you teach people your faith if
you don't understand what it is they believe?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So, It needs to be a bigger problem.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I'm a product of the, I am the last year
of the baby boomers. And I think I'm like the
last remnant years of the Jesus movement. So I didn't
get this comparative religious study, although the material came from
CFNI in Dallas and others, Last Days Ministries materials. But
it was just something we sought out in discipleship, comparative religion,
(09:34):
so we would understand who's knocking on our door. And
I mean, I did the same for Jehovah Witnesses. I
did the same for other denominations and faiths. I remember
the Don 9-11 scrambling to catch up. But the notion
that it's now the 25th anniversary and some have never
even tried to catch up, it does seem like a
(09:56):
blind spot. And getting back to that documentary, I don't
know what haunted you most about that documentary. I think
it was the two investigators because they knew, I mean,
we had all of them. I mean, when you look
at how many chances Bill Clinton had a chance to
take out bin Laden before any of this happened. The
guy that radicalized bin Laden was with the blind sheik
(10:16):
in the same jail that got released. The blind sheik
came to New York City and he went to the
Middle East. I mean, they had a million chances to
stop this. They had a person undercover in that they
chose to get out and then they lost touch with
human intelligence of what was coming next. But when the
documentary ends with them screaming, they can't live with themselves.
(10:38):
because of what they knew and what they could have
stopped and didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That was powerful.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And there was nothing more insulting than the 9-11 Commission
that said it was a failure of imagination. For crying
out loud, I saw the movie Executive Decision years before 9-11.
But we knew what their use of planes were gonna be.
It doesn't just seem like, David, we've learned much in
25 years, have we? And I just can't come back
to my central message, which is remembering is not enough.
We must honor and honor the makes our lives count
(11:08):
for them, and ensure it never happens to anyone else
because it might be us next. I don't think we've
gotten there yet, have we?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
No, we haven't.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Now, there's certain things that we are in a better
position than we were in the 90s. The whole point
of the documentary, the whole point of what Andy McCarthy
was beating and beating and beating into us is that
we were treating that matter like it was a law
enforcement issue. instead of a question of national security and
international intelligence.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So when the chief was killed and when.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
They had the 93 attack and when they uncovered this
plot to blow up the Lincoln Tunnel and there was
a strand connecting all of these things together and some
of these same people from the same cell bigger than
just some, you know, radical, isolated women. There was a
failure there that was, first of all, you know, ethical
(12:01):
or logistical, but it was also ideological. They believed we
were dealing with a matter of law enforcement and not
something related to national security. That did change in the
Bush administration. And President Trump successfully took down Soleimani. And
by the way, Barack Obama did more drone attacks than
either of the past two Republican presidents did. So he
(12:24):
may not have liked to talk about it, but even
he didn't think that he doesn't talk about it. Parties
knew that there was foreign intelligence and national security matters
on the line who never did close, get low, even
though he said he was doing this. I think that
that part is better. But your point about honoring and remembering,
this is a spiritual issue. I understand 25 years have
(12:47):
gone by, and I understand that I'm now surrounded here
in the city with young adults who were not yet
born when it happened.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That's fair enough.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But there is no excuse for the fact that we
have forgotten those records. And one of the reasons, as
we learn more and more, is that 9-11 is a
linearly unifying event for the American soul, and we no
longer want to be unified.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
So why talk about it? Why dwell on it?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Why think about those times where we were united in tragedy,
when what we want to be is divided and non-fragile?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We hate each other. And I think that 9-11 now
represents this.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Inconvenient point at which Americans became nonpartisan.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
That's a powerful point. And I often have people say
to me, well, I think it's going to take another
to unite us. Although I fear the next time, not
even that will unite us. You brought up something really chilling.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You're right. You're right, by the way.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I hear that all the time. It isn't true. If
it's not another one, it would not go down the
way the last one did.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I remember a rabbi speaking at a 9-11 remembrance ceremony
that I was a part of.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I know I'm leaving, I promise.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And he talked about where was God on 9-11, and
he had many examples of where God's mercy was. You
brought up the tunnels and the bridges plot that was
thwarted by Ramzi Youssef, and then he fled and was
allowed to get away again. But had that taken place,
we'd have been looking at five times the amount of deaths.
It would have been like the television event that 9-11 was,
(14:25):
but it would have actually racked up more deaths. So
there's a lot of things that God did do through
great law enforcement to protect us, but there's a lot
of things we fundamentally missed and still miss today. Appreciate
you kind of reminding us some of these lessons and
how far we have to go to truly understand and
honor and protect our future. What's coming up on the
Dividend Cafe tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Not 9-11 reflections.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
I'm not going to let the 25-year anniversary go by
without reflecting on three levels, what 9-11 taught us as investors,
what 9-11 taught us as Americans, and what 9-11 taught
me as a human being.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
David Bonson, economist, theologian, one of the brightest minds I've
ever met. Don't miss The Dividend Cafe. Go to thedividendcafe.com.
Comes out every Friday morning, and on 9-11, there's going
to be some very insightful reflections.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you for your time, David. Thank you, brother. You
got it.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs and then
it pulled back. So are precious metals still a good buy? Well,
the big banks think so. In fact, they're forecasting even
higher prices ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And why?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
We still have trillions and trillions of dollars of national debt,
a declining dollar, inflation that's shrinking our savings. See, even
with corrections along the way, gold remains a historical hedge
for wealth protection. That's probably why Morgan Stanley ditched the
60-40 stock-to-bond portfolio. They're now recommending up to 20% in
precious metals. They've gotten educated. We need to catch up.
(15:50):

Speaker 1 (16:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Torno.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, here's some of the headlines if you're just waking up.
Trump pledges $ 5, 000 payout to U.S. adults if Republicans win
the midterm. Is that pandering? Is that bribery? Where would
the money come from? Does everyone get it? Would it
be means tested like those checks were going to be
means tested? Those checks never actually arrived. That's a big buzz.
(16:56):
Bernie Sanders endorsed Challenger defeats the Providence mayor in a
Democrat primary. But for the Rhode Island governor, Dan McKee,
he loses the Democrat primary. And will not have the
opportunity to seek re-election. And probably one of the two
best moments last night of the midterm convention. Brian Donald,
Byron Donald was just terrific as he always is. A
(17:19):
real rising star in the next governor of the state
of Florida. And John Fetterman introducing a Republican senator. Playing
the bipartisan card. It is halftime of the Republican midterm convention.
convention in Dallas and we're going to go to the
locker room and talk to 47 himself Thursday with 47
when your morning show continues.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Hey this is the actor Daniel Roebuck from Bethlehem Pennsylvania
and my morning show is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 1 (17:58):

Enjoy.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Good morning and welcome to Thursday, September the 10th, the
year of our Lord, 2026, on the air, streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm Michael,
honored to serve you. Red's keeping an eye on the content.
Jeffrey keeping the sound flowing. I have to make a
confession to you. We're gonna have that interview with Jacqueline Smith,
one of Charlie's only angels that served all five years.
(18:42):
The beautiful Jacqueline Smith is out at 80 years old
with a memoir called I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie.
We were gonna air that interview today. We're gonna air
it on Monday instead. I'm gonna give you just the
honest radio truth. I think With the Republican convention going
on in Dallas, the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination,
with 9-11 coming tomorrow and all the storylines associated with that,
(19:06):
it would do an injustice to her and her memoir
to do an interview with her right now when you've
got all these other things on your mind. So we're
going to do that exactly this time on Monday.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She's still beautiful. She's worth waiting for. By the way,
it is halftime.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Of the Republican midterm convention to the winning locker room.
We go for this interview with Thursday with 47.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Mr.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
President, good morning.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Well, you know, we called an audible.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
You know, you look at it.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
We called an audible.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
We're like the great Peyton Manning. You know, Peyton, he
said Omaha.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
We got the audible and I.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Got along very well with Omaha. I called Peyton Before
you ask, because you love to ask stupid questions No,
I did not call Peyton Manning Bobby No But you know,
you understand what's happening No, we had a great convention
last night Beautiful speech, we're doing $ 5, 000 per person You know,
there's going to be big beautiful checks We're doing a lot,
I have to say that We're going to do a
(20:08):
lot And we may withhold your check if you continue
to be a nasty person, but you're not.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You're a nice guy.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm waiting on my doge check.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Sometimes you're a nasty person who has stupid questions.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You know that?
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Sometimes you're a nasty guy who has bad questions.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Don't worry about the doge. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
Chris Christie ate your check.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
We can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Don't make me laugh. I have very little lung left.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
All right, so there was no clarification as to whether
or not you would go through Congress for this or
where this money would come from or if it would
be means tested. But there is that breaking news, the
promise of $ 5, 000 if everybody gives the Republicans control of
the House and Senate. I would imagine the left will
attack that as pandering. I thought Byron Donald was spectacular.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
What a star.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well, he does a tremendous job. You look at him
and nobody's going to mess with him. You know, you
talk about football players. He looks like he could play
offensive tackle.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
He's a big guy. Big guy.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
He might be my new secret.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
He might be my new secret service, you know, head
of staff because he's a big guy. But no, Byron
is great.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
You know, he said fantastic things about Florida. He said
fantastic things about Texas.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
He even gave a little love to who I consider
to be the greatest state in the country, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
We love Tennessee. Great people.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
We love it. Tremendous people.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
But one of the RNC was great. You know, you
look at it, the Democrats, the.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Democrats, we call them Democrats.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
They're going to be very unhappy with the checks, you know,
because they say we're the only people who could bribe
our voters. We're the only people who could offer free stuff.
And so we beat them to it this time. If
we win, you're going to get rich. Think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And if we don't win.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
You're not getting anything.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
So you better get out and vote.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And you better because it's.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Like, you know, Santa. If you're nice, you get beautiful gifts.
If you're naughty, you get coal. And we love coal.
West Virginia, clean, beautiful coal. But you don't want coal
in your stocking. You're looking for something a little better
than that.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Friday with 47, now on Thursday, halftime of the Republican
convention in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't know, there were a lot of highlights in
your speech. I loved your.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Section on Talrico. It felt very much like how we
visit on Fridays normally.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
Well, you know, there's some very interesting things about, we
call him.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Talifrico, right?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
He's a freak show. He's a freaky person.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
And he eats meat and he said something else about meat,
which we're not going to repeat because it's kind of nasty. But,
you know, we've heard other people who do that, like
Graham Platner.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Remember Graham Platner? Oh, of course.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
He had a history of doing things you're not supposed
to do in a porta potty. And it sounded a
little similar to what? was up to, but he says
he doesn't want to eat the meat, now he eats
the meat. He says he eats more meat than anybody now,
but you look at him, vegan. He thinks there's six genders.
(23:10):
He thinks God is non-binary, that's not gonna win in Texas.
He wants to end oil and natural gas, except little
does he know that Chris Christie is the largest natural
gas producer in the history of our country. Closely followed
by Jiggly Belly Pritzker and Stacey Abrams. They produce a
lot of natural gas. And who could forget Katie Porter.
(23:33):
Remember Katie Porter? And Eric Swalwell. He produces a lot
of natural gas, too.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That was a shot heard around the world.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
We are going to defeat Talafrico. Ken Paxton is going
to win. And we're going to send that little freak show,
Alfred E. Newman, we're going to send him back to
wherever the hell.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
It was he came.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
It wasn't a good place that he came from, I
can tell.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
You that. He had a disastrous interview on Fox. I
know what his strategy was. I'm going to go on Fox.
I'm going to get my equal time. He got some really,
I wouldn't call them tough questions, just honest, obvious questions.
He chose to flip flop. He now believes there's only
two genders, not six. I wonder how that'll impact his
(24:19):
base in the LGBTQ voter block to get out for him.
So obviously that's a big race. And obviously the key
point in your address last night was you may not
be on the ballot, but vote like you are. And
I think you made that pretty clear.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Well, you have to vote.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Like I'm on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
You know, you talk about Talafrico is looking for the
votes from the LGBTQ community. We're looking for the votes
from the TRUMP.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Community, right?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
And nobody does it better than we do it, right?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
MAGA.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
You look at Trump, you look at the YMCA, it's
a beautiful song. And you have to vote like I'm
on the ballot because if you don't vote, we're going
to lose.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
And we don't want to lose. We don't want the Democrats.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
We call them Democrats. We don't want because they're very
stupid people. We don't want the Democrats to take control
of our country and run wild with it.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
We don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We want to win.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
We want Magna to win.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
We want Bobby to win.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
We want Donna. You know, you look at Donna. We
haven't even talked about Donna.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
And she will play very well.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
She's fabulous.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
You know, that make America fabulous again. We love Donna.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Any chance Donna will appear tonight? Excuse me. Excuse me.
We don't need to do.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
You have a call.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You're sick.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
You should take a little bit of time and wait.
You might have the China virus. We may hit G.
I think I have a little more tariffs just as
revenge for you. Right. But you look at Donna. Donna
may show up tonight. She might be the surprise headliner tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
We'll see what happens. She's a tremendous person.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Come to think of it, I've never seen Pam Bondi
or Don in the same room together, but I digress.
Closing moments with Friday, well, Thursday with 47. It's halftime
of the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
What can we look forward to tonight, Mr.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
President?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Well, we may be able to look forward to Donna.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
We're looking at many.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
Other things that we're looking very closely at it, by
the way. But we may bring out Maduro. We might
bring out, we call him the fat cat. We may
bring him out. We may bring out Fetterman again. You
look at Fetterman, he looks like Sasquatch. You can finally
see him. But we're going to do a beautiful job
getting people out to vote. We're going to tell them
they have to get out to vote. Why do they
(26:32):
have to get out to vote? We have a secure border.
We have low crime. We have Jobs, jobs, jobs coming
back into our country like nobody's ever seen before.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Nobody thought it was possible.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
You know, we did great ratings last night, despite the NFL.
You look at the NFL. Well, see, I was going
to bring that up.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
He threw a.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Lot of interceptions, right?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, he did. What a stupid guy.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
He's the next Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, he's not the next Tom Brady. He's a horrible person.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I was going to bring that up, but I thought
you'd accuse that of being a dumb thing to say,
that why did we choose to go up against him.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
No, that's not a stupid thing.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
No, we have the ratings.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We chose to go up against him because we have
the ratings.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
And we're doing very well. So we're going to do
more tonight. We're going to talk about why you need
to vote Republican. We got to get people out to vote.
We got to win, win, win. Nobody's ever seen before
for our country and for Donna. Think about it. We're
laying the groundwork for Donna to run in 2028. She's
going to do a great job.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But for our country.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And we have to make sure that people get out
and vote.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
They're gonna get out and vote in bigger numbers than
anybody's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Did you notice Fetterman's hoodie said property of no one?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I did.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know if anybody else did. Doesn't seem to
have a party anymore.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
John Fetterman is a tremendous guy. He's a fantastic person,
and he did a great job. We're happy to.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Have him if he wants to be a Republican. Mr.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
President, thank you so much for your time on this
special edition, Thursday with 47, halftime of the midterm convention.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Appreciate your time.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
Thank you, Peter Boy, and feel better, right?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Feel better. I need to. Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
The president, ladies and gentlemen, 45 minutes after the hour. Well,
when it comes to supplements, there are two things that
matter most. Does it work? And can you trust it?
Glenn Beck's told you for decades, it works. You can
trust it. I've been telling you for over a year.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
It works.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You can trust it. Relief factor. But I love telling
everybody else's stories. At 80 years old, Richard and Paula
were tired of aches and discomfort, keeping them awake at night.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Isn't that what pain does?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
If it lets you sleep, it's the last thing you're
thinking about before you fall asleep. And it's the first
thing waiting for you in the morning. They decided to
give Relief Factor a try. Now they're sleeping through the
night again. Paula says she's so impressed she wants everyone
to know about it. I just helped in that effort.
But the story we can't wait to tell the most
is yours. Relief Factor is going to get to that
(28:57):
root cause of your aches and pains.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's not age. It's inflammation.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Because America's turning 250, we have an introductory three-week quick
start price of $ 17. 76. That is remarkably low.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
$ 17.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
76 and enough time for you to begin to feel
a difference and begin your relief factor story. Declare your
independence from pain. Go to relieffactor.com today, relieffactor.com, or call
1-800-4-RELIEF for your three-week quick start of Relief Factor.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
That's 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF, online at relieffactor.com.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I appreciate Sean being easy on me. I don't have
much lungs to laugh. That is not really the president.
That's Sean Farage, who joins us every Friday with Friday
with 47. You can learn more about him at Farash, F-A-R-A-S-H, farashmedia.com.
He even records special messages for special occasions for your
loved ones.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I highly recommend them.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Republicans gathered yesterday for date night one of the Republican
midterm convention in Dallas, built to spotlight President Trump in
the final stretch of the election cycle. And he assured everyone,
even though his name's not on the ballot, vote like
it is.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
So I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
To pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I'm on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Just one more time.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
For all of you that think the president had to
end the war with Iran before the midterms, he said
he expects them to end.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
After the midterms.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
The world will be over very shortly after the election.
They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we lose
so they can deal with dumb, weak Democrats and they
can have their nuclear bomb.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
As for Canada.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Because you know, Lake Ontario, we're going to call that
now Lake America.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Although maybe it's going to work out.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Canada very much wants to make a deal.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
But it's going to be called Lake America. That's not
all he's renaming.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
The hormones straight We should call it the Trump strength.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I should get something out of it. The Trump strength.
And what everybody's talking about, the promise of Trump dividends.
But we're making a fortune.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Get $ 5, 000.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
It will be called the Trump dividend.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
We'll call it the Trump dividend.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Well, today marks one year since conservative activist Charlie Kirk
was shot and assassinated at a Utah Valley University event.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Mark Mayfield remembers.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
The 31-year-old left behind a wife, Erica Kirk, now CEO
of his Turning Point USA organization, and their two young children.
Reflecting on this week's anniversary in an essay for the
New York Times, Erica Kirk noted that the grief is
there always, but said she's learning that mourning and living
life at the same time are part of the rhythm
of grief. President Trump mourned Charlie Kirk's passing at the time,
(32:00):
calling the incident a dark moment for America and saying
his voice had now become bigger and grander than ever before.
Tyler Robinson, the man charged with Kirk's murder, has pleaded
not guilty.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
A pair of incumbents did not do well in Rhode
Island's primary last night.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Scott Carr has more.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Reports say incumbent Governor Dan McKee and the mayor of
the state's largest city, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley, both lost
their respective Democratic primaries. McKee lost to former CVS executive
Helena Folks, whom he beat in a five-way primary four
years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
While Mayor Smiley lost.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
To Democratic Socialist State Representative David Morales.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Hawaii Governor Josh Green has gotten a firsthand look at
the devastation left behind by Hurricane Lowell.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Tammy Trujillo reports.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Thousands are still without power on Kauai, and Green says
most isolated areas of the island could wait up to
a month for their electricity to be restored. The state's
ready to provide hotel rooms or vacation rental spaces for
residents who have to wait for power. According to the governor,
repairing damage from the storm will cost over $ 400 million.
To offset those costs, he's contacted the White House and
(33:06):
FEMA to expedite a disaster declaration, which usually covers about 75%
of the costs. I'm Tammy Trujillo.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Jackson Smith Najigba with 122 yards and a touchdown. Seahawks
come from behind to win 13-10 over the Patriots last night.
The NFL regular season is underway. Continues tonight. 49ers and Rams,
735 on Netflix. For those of you who like a
little college with your football... 7 o'clock ESPN Florida A &
M in Miami to take on the hurricanes. Well, you
(33:33):
know him as national correspondent Rory O'Neill. We affectionately call
him Good News Rory, and he's got some on housing
listings and what that means for buyers.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Good morning, Rory. Yeah, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Redfin says that now houses on the marketplace are up
to a six-year high, and that is good news for
buyers out there who may have some bargaining power when
trying to land that dream home. Places like San Francisco
is seeing big buying numbers. San Jose, though, seeing big
home numbers listed being put on the marketplace. Nashville, also
(34:06):
one of those communities where they're seeing a lot of
houses hitting the marketplace. Seattle, Boston, and Warren, Michigan as well. Still,
the home prices are high. The median price, meaning half
sell above this number, half below, just a hair under
$ 400, 000 for a new home.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
Yikes.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Add to that interest rates that are over 6.5%. You're
talking $ 80, 000 for that down payment, which is keeping a
lot of people from the marketplace.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
So what created this crisis? baby boomers with these homes
that were worth more than ever. If they move, they
can sell and get a lot, but they're going to
pay more at a higher interest rate. So we need
to either build more or get the interest rates to
come down. What do we think is loosening up the inventory?
People just tired of waiting?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Well, that may be a big part of it. And
then it's different, of course, city by city. As I said,
San Jose and Nashville and Seattle and Boston, what do
they have in common?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
But we're seeing really these numbers spike for various reasons.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
A lot of it has to do with some of
the tech issues.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Sector having troubles in the san jose area so a
lot of people perhaps leaving uh leaving their jobs there
it's difficult to pinpoint one specific reason but it is
encouraging still overall there's about four to five million fewer
homes out there than we need so we need builders
to get out there especially building those entry-level homes you
(35:33):
know the builder makes a lot more profit making a
mcmansion rather than some 1100 square foot three bedroom job
and that's where the real struggle is, finding those entry-level
homes out there.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Well, it's time for me to get the newest edition
of Apple Phone due to battery and slowness. When I
was talking to my Apple representative, he said, well, first
things first, I'm not selling you a new phone today.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You're going to come back next month. And I said, why? Well,
Apple will roll out all their new stuff, and you'll
want to wait for that.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
And then I said, well, what if they don't roll
something out? He just looked at me, and the face
was so funny, because of course they're going to roll
something out. What impressed you most was the watch, right?
Just because we need more people surveying us.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Well, yeah, because it has microphones and can summarize conversations
you just already had. And you're like, wait a minute.
Now is everyone in the office recording conversations? Look, you
and I talk into microphones. We know we're talking into microphones.
But now it's getting picked up on all these watches.
That's a bit strange. Add that to Google and Meta
have their glasses too.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
There's nothing sacred.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Well, and again, if you're in a classroom, It's recording.
And then it breaks it down into notes for you. Oh,
that's a great application.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
You're in a meeting.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
It breaks it down into notes for you. But it's
also listening to everybody all the time. And who else
knows who's listening? Again, privacy simply does not exist anymore.
And that's just a reality. So in radio, we view
every microphone like it's live, whether we think it is
or isn't. Pretty soon, you're going to have to view
every room as live, whether you realize it or not.
(37:04):
And then they got the flip phone fold out. to
a bigger size. You can check all that out at
your local Apple store. Rory's not budging. He's staying, what
are you?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Still Samsung. I have my Samsung flip.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
We've been doing foldable phones for a long time.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Rory will have more great reporting tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
One chance to live this Thursday, September the 10th, 2026.
It'll never happen again. Make it count.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Make a difference in someone's life. Cherish your own.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
A very special 9-11 program tomorrow on.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Your morning show. We're all in this together. This is
your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard weekday mornings in great
cities like Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee.
And we got you covered in California, San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine, but we're thrilled you're here now. Enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
One, two, three.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
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.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Well, today marks one year since the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
The assassination took place in Utah. Rhode Island voters rejected
incumbent Governor Dan McKee in their primaries last night. President
Trump told supporters at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas
that he may not be on the ballot in November.
But vote like he is. Good morning and welcome to Thursday,
(00:55):
September the 10th, Year of Our Lord 2026. On the air,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
Honored to serve you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I'm Michael.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I remember I was, and this is long before there
were barricades that kept you away. In 1989, you could
walk all over our nation's capital. I remember I was
walking with a friend of mine, Tom Crimseer, who happened
to be my boss at the time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And we were walking around the Capitol building.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
At that point, you could just walk right around and
look into windows and And he turned to me and
he said something that I thought was very interesting. He goes,
you know, when you really think about it, Michael, there
are three capitals in America. There's New York City, the
money capital. There's here, Washington, D.C., the power capital. And
then there's Los Angeles, the sensual capital. And he was
(01:41):
making the distinction that with power, you have both instant sensuality,
which we see with politicians. That's why there's so many
scandals that happened. These people aren't used to being around
well-dressed young women who worship them. And they often fall
to that temptation. Because when you have power, you have
everyone's money and you have instant sensuality. It was an
(02:03):
interesting conversation and distinction. But there's no question what New
York symbolizes. And there's no question why the terrorists targeted it,
both literally and symbolically. And I was thinking about that yesterday.
And it brought me back to an old dividend cafe
with our economist, David Bonson. I think you did it
back in 2025, just kind of discussing the economic significance
(02:27):
of the targets of 9-11, both literally and symbolically. I
thought that'd be a pretty good review before the 25th anniversary.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Good morning, David. Well, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
And yeah, it is an important topic. It's obviously somber.
It's something a lot of us here in New York
City are thinking about today and will be tomorrow. But
I recall writing that dividend cafe and stand by that
message to this day. I don't think it's got enough coverage.
I appreciate you bringing it up. We think of the
loss of human lives. We think of the attack on
(02:58):
the country. We think of all of those things that
are really the heart of the matter. But there was
this subtext, which was... We want to link out their
capital markets, their pre-enterprise systems rooted to a certain financial
market participation that no one else in the world has,
no one else in the world can have. And if
(03:19):
you could ever undermine American capital markets, you can undermine America.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I was watching a History Channel documentary, which, by the way,
I would have to say was done very well. And
it really walks you through everything that led up to 9-11.
And it really goes back really all the way to 79,
let alone 89. But an assassination of a rabbi in
New York in 89 was very significant and a radicalized
(03:47):
Al Farouk Mosque in New York City. And where a
lot of the who's who of Al Qaeda were roaming
our streets and plotting assassinations and disruptions. In fact, we
all know historically that The World Trade Center was attacked
in 93 first and then finished in 2001. But when
you follow that trail, that obsession seemed to be over
(04:13):
one of two things, Israel and or U.S. physically, that's
what the Gulf War represented, physical American boots in an
Islamic country. That seemed to be the rub. Where did
the financial rub come from? Because the source of all
the money for that Al Farouk mosque that has now
since multiplied to many other states, that's a whole other
(04:35):
scary notion, that was being funded by bin Laden even
back then through the Sheikh and others. So when did
the significance turn to the money capital of the world?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Well, I think it was always there, but what you're
highlighting was their source of anger at America geopolitically, and
they realized as a tactic that undermining the financial markets
would take down such a core element of American society.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And I would point out.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
that the decadence that they perceive of American Western living
was something that bin Laden was attacking in the late
70s or early 80s.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
There is a.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Long stream in both Sunni and Shiite Muslim traditions and
attacking American prosperity. Now, I think that the sophistication that
they added to their back of saying, hey, if we
bring down these buildings and we undermine their economic confidence,
(05:41):
there is a part of it that they were steadily wronging.
But it was something that they've done in Israel where
they say, hey, let's try to get people afraid to
go out. And it was my fear up in 9-11
that we wouldn't have another 9-11 attack, but we'd start
having bombs inside trash cans and parks and things that
(06:02):
weren't mass casualty events, smaller casualty events that nevertheless bring
terror on American people. This was why I think the
Bush administration's response to 9-11 was and appropriate is that
we rooted out a lot of these cells that did
want to do some of that local terrorism. And yet
(06:22):
we have had plenty of incidents. It was more an
ISIS thing about a decade later. But homegrown radicalism here
in the U.S.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Is still a major issue. And I think it's something
we need to focus on more.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, people forget this. You brought up Sunni and Shia.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And again, when you think of Shia, you think of Iran,
you think of Hamas, some of these radical terrorist organizations.
Bin Laden himself was Sunni and studied under the School
of Islamic Theology.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Of the Sunni.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And in fact, there were some radicalizations towards using terror
tactics against more than just fighting with the Mujahideen that
he prided himself on, that radicalized him. Gave us a
glimpse of what Sunni and Shias uniting can look like,
which was kind of frightening. Do you think, David, I
want to talk to the theologian, David Bonson, as much
(07:15):
as the economist. We used to do things like critical thinking.
We used to do things like comparative religions. You would
think after 9-11, there would have been a more reasonable
study of Of what we're dealing with here. And I think,
you know, like everything, we take opinions without the discomfort
of thought. It's important everybody understands these elements and what
(07:37):
they believe and what can be tolerated and what must
never be tolerated.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Why don't we do that?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, you know, you mentioned that documentary, which I also
was very fond of, and it prominently featured my very
dear friend, Andy McCarthy, who was the lead prosecutor after
the 93 Trade Center, and he's the one who brought
the charges against the blind sheep.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
He did write a.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Very comprehensive book pointing out some of the noteworthy comparative
religious observations, and he was an ambassador for it. And
anybody else who did that when it came to Islam,
was treated as if they were doing something, you know, Islamophobic.
And I think a very objective religious analysis of what
(08:24):
the belief systems are is entirely fair, appropriate, and I
would argue necessary. And you are arguing correctly. It's lacking. Look,
there's a political correctness. It's become a sort of secularized
American religion. But that's not acceptable for Christians. That's not
exactly it for those of us who want to understand
what's what. I think it is something that is lacking
(08:48):
and has been for some time. And we happen to
be talking about it in the context of an Islamic fanaticism,
but I don't see the harm in people understanding all sorts.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Of what compared to religions each.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
And I think from a standpoint of Christian apologetics, it's
entirely necessary. How can you teach people your faith if
you don't understand what it is they believe?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So, It needs to be a bigger problem.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I'm a product of the, I am the last year
of the baby boomers. And I think I'm like the
last remnant years of the Jesus movement. So I didn't
get this comparative religious study, although the material came from
CFNI in Dallas and others, Last Days Ministries materials. But
it was just something we sought out in discipleship, comparative religion,
(09:34):
so we would understand who's knocking on our door. And
I mean, I did the same for Jehovah Witnesses. I
did the same for other denominations and faiths. I remember
the Don 9-11 scrambling to catch up. But the notion
that it's now the 25th anniversary and some have never
even tried to catch up, it does seem like a
(09:56):
blind spot. And getting back to that documentary, I don't
know what haunted you most about that documentary. I think
it was the two investigators because they knew, I mean,
we had all of them. I mean, when you look
at how many chances Bill Clinton had a chance to
take out bin Laden before any of this happened. The
guy that radicalized bin Laden was with the blind sheik
(10:16):
in the same jail that got released. The blind sheik
came to New York City and he went to the
Middle East. I mean, they had a million chances to
stop this. They had a person undercover in that they
chose to get out and then they lost touch with
human intelligence of what was coming next. But when the
documentary ends with them screaming, they can't live with themselves.
(10:38):
because of what they knew and what they could have
stopped and didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That was powerful.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And there was nothing more insulting than the 9-11 Commission
that said it was a failure of imagination. For crying
out loud, I saw the movie Executive Decision years before 9-11.
But we knew what their use of planes were gonna be.
It doesn't just seem like, David, we've learned much in
25 years, have we? And I just can't come back
to my central message, which is remembering is not enough.
We must honor and honor the makes our lives count
(11:08):
for them, and ensure it never happens to anyone else
because it might be us next. I don't think we've
gotten there yet, have we?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
No, we haven't.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Now, there's certain things that we are in a better
position than we were in the 90s. The whole point
of the documentary, the whole point of what Andy McCarthy
was beating and beating and beating into us is that
we were treating that matter like it was a law
enforcement issue. instead of a question of national security and
international intelligence.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So when the chief was killed and when.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
They had the 93 attack and when they uncovered this
plot to blow up the Lincoln Tunnel and there was
a strand connecting all of these things together and some
of these same people from the same cell bigger than
just some, you know, radical, isolated women. There was a
failure there that was, first of all, you know, ethical
(12:01):
or logistical, but it was also ideological. They believed we
were dealing with a matter of law enforcement and not
something related to national security. That did change in the
Bush administration. And President Trump successfully took down Soleimani. And
by the way, Barack Obama did more drone attacks than
either of the past two Republican presidents did. So he
(12:24):
may not have liked to talk about it, but even
he didn't think that he doesn't talk about it. Parties
knew that there was foreign intelligence and national security matters
on the line who never did close, get low, even
though he said he was doing this. I think that
that part is better. But your point about honoring and remembering,
this is a spiritual issue. I understand 25 years have
(12:47):
gone by, and I understand that I'm now surrounded here
in the city with young adults who were not yet
born when it happened.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That's fair enough.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But there is no excuse for the fact that we
have forgotten those records. And one of the reasons, as
we learn more and more, is that 9-11 is a
linearly unifying event for the American soul, and we no
longer want to be unified.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
So why talk about it? Why dwell on it?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Why think about those times where we were united in tragedy,
when what we want to be is divided and non-fragile?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We hate each other. And I think that 9-11 now
represents this.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Inconvenient point at which Americans became nonpartisan.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
That's a powerful point. And I often have people say
to me, well, I think it's going to take another
to unite us. Although I fear the next time, not
even that will unite us. You brought up something really chilling.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You're right. You're right, by the way.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I hear that all the time. It isn't true. If
it's not another one, it would not go down the
way the last one did.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I remember a rabbi speaking at a 9-11 remembrance ceremony
that I was a part of.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I know I'm leaving, I promise.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
And he talked about where was God on 9-11, and
he had many examples of where God's mercy was. You
brought up the tunnels and the bridges plot that was
thwarted by Ramzi Youssef, and then he fled and was
allowed to get away again. But had that taken place,
we'd have been looking at five times the amount of deaths.
It would have been like the television event that 9-11 was,
(14:25):
but it would have actually racked up more deaths. So
there's a lot of things that God did do through
great law enforcement to protect us, but there's a lot
of things we fundamentally missed and still miss today. Appreciate
you kind of reminding us some of these lessons and
how far we have to go to truly understand and
honor and protect our future. What's coming up on the
Dividend Cafe tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Not 9-11 reflections.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
I'm not going to let the 25-year anniversary go by
without reflecting on three levels, what 9-11 taught us as investors,
what 9-11 taught us as Americans, and what 9-11 taught
me as a human being.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
David Bonson, economist, theologian, one of the brightest minds I've
ever met. Don't miss The Dividend Cafe. Go to thedividendcafe.com.
Comes out every Friday morning, and on 9-11, there's going
to be some very insightful reflections.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you for your time, David. Thank you, brother. You
got it.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs and then
it pulled back. So are precious metals still a good buy? Well,
the big banks think so. In fact, they're forecasting even
higher prices ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And why?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
We still have trillions and trillions of dollars of national debt,
a declining dollar, inflation that's shrinking our savings. See, even
with corrections along the way, gold remains a historical hedge
for wealth protection. That's probably why Morgan Stanley ditched the
60-40 stock-to-bond portfolio. They're now recommending up to 20% in
precious metals. They've gotten educated. We need to catch up.
(15:50):

Speaker 1 (16:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Torno.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, here's some of the headlines if you're just waking up.
Trump pledges $ 5, 000 payout to U.S. adults if Republicans win
the midterm. Is that pandering? Is that bribery? Where would
the money come from? Does everyone get it? Would it
be means tested like those checks were going to be
means tested? Those checks never actually arrived. That's a big buzz.
(16:56):
Bernie Sanders endorsed Challenger defeats the Providence mayor in a
Democrat primary. But for the Rhode Island governor, Dan McKee,
he loses the Democrat primary. And will not have the
opportunity to seek re-election. And probably one of the two
best moments last night of the midterm convention. Brian Donald,
Byron Donald was just terrific as he always is. A
(17:19):
real rising star in the next governor of the state
of Florida. And John Fetterman introducing a Republican senator. Playing
the bipartisan card. It is halftime of the Republican midterm convention.
convention in Dallas and we're going to go to the
locker room and talk to 47 himself Thursday with 47
when your morning show continues.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Hey this is the actor Daniel Roebuck from Bethlehem Pennsylvania
and my morning show is your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Hey, it's Michael.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Enjoy.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Good morning and welcome to Thursday, September the 10th, the
year of our Lord, 2026, on the air, streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm Michael,
honored to serve you. Red's keeping an eye on the content.
Jeffrey keeping the sound flowing. I have to make a
confession to you. We're gonna have that interview with Jacqueline Smith,
one of Charlie's only angels that served all five years.
(18:42):
The beautiful Jacqueline Smith is out at 80 years old
with a memoir called I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie.
We were gonna air that interview today. We're gonna air
it on Monday instead. I'm gonna give you just the
honest radio truth. I think With the Republican convention going
on in Dallas, the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination,
with 9-11 coming tomorrow and all the storylines associated with that,
(19:06):
it would do an injustice to her and her memoir
to do an interview with her right now when you've
got all these other things on your mind. So we're
going to do that exactly this time on Monday.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She's still beautiful. She's worth waiting for. By the way,
it is halftime.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Of the Republican midterm convention to the winning locker room.
We go for this interview with Thursday with 47.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Mr.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
President, good morning.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Well, you know, we called an audible.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
You know, you look at it.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
We called an audible.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
We're like the great Peyton Manning. You know, Peyton, he
said Omaha.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
We got the audible and I.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Got along very well with Omaha. I called Peyton Before
you ask, because you love to ask stupid questions No,
I did not call Peyton Manning Bobby No But you know,
you understand what's happening No, we had a great convention
last night Beautiful speech, we're doing $ 5, 000 per person You know,
there's going to be big beautiful checks We're doing a lot,
I have to say that We're going to do a
(20:08):
lot And we may withhold your check if you continue
to be a nasty person, but you're not.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You're a nice guy.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm waiting on my doge check.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Sometimes you're a nasty person who has stupid questions.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You know that?
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Sometimes you're a nasty guy who has bad questions.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Don't worry about the doge. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
Chris Christie ate your check.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
We can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Don't make me laugh. I have very little lung left.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
All right, so there was no clarification as to whether
or not you would go through Congress for this or
where this money would come from or if it would
be means tested. But there is that breaking news, the
promise of $ 5, 000 if everybody gives the Republicans control of
the House and Senate. I would imagine the left will
attack that as pandering. I thought Byron Donald was spectacular.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
What a star.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well, he does a tremendous job. You look at him
and nobody's going to mess with him. You know, you
talk about football players. He looks like he could play
offensive tackle.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
He's a big guy. Big guy.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
He might be my new secret.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
He might be my new secret service, you know, head
of staff because he's a big guy. But no, Byron
is great.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
You know, he said fantastic things about Florida. He said
fantastic things about Texas.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
He even gave a little love to who I consider
to be the greatest state in the country, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
We love Tennessee. Great people.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
We love it. Tremendous people.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
But one of the RNC was great. You know, you
look at it, the Democrats, the.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Democrats, we call them Democrats.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
They're going to be very unhappy with the checks, you know,
because they say we're the only people who could bribe
our voters. We're the only people who could offer free stuff.
And so we beat them to it this time. If
we win, you're going to get rich. Think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And if we don't win.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
You're not getting anything.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
So you better get out and vote.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And you better because it's.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Like, you know, Santa. If you're nice, you get beautiful gifts.
If you're naughty, you get coal. And we love coal.
West Virginia, clean, beautiful coal. But you don't want coal
in your stocking. You're looking for something a little better
than that.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Friday with 47, now on Thursday, halftime of the Republican
convention in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't know, there were a lot of highlights in
your speech. I loved your.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Section on Talrico. It felt very much like how we
visit on Fridays normally.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
Well, you know, there's some very interesting things about, we
call him.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Talifrico, right?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
He's a freak show. He's a freaky person.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
And he eats meat and he said something else about meat,
which we're not going to repeat because it's kind of nasty. But,
you know, we've heard other people who do that, like
Graham Platner.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Remember Graham Platner? Oh, of course.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
He had a history of doing things you're not supposed
to do in a porta potty. And it sounded a
little similar to what? was up to, but he says
he doesn't want to eat the meat, now he eats
the meat. He says he eats more meat than anybody now,
but you look at him, vegan. He thinks there's six genders.
(23:10):
He thinks God is non-binary, that's not gonna win in Texas.
He wants to end oil and natural gas, except little
does he know that Chris Christie is the largest natural
gas producer in the history of our country. Closely followed
by Jiggly Belly Pritzker and Stacey Abrams. They produce a
lot of natural gas. And who could forget Katie Porter.
(23:33):
Remember Katie Porter? And Eric Swalwell. He produces a lot
of natural gas, too.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That was a shot heard around the world.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
We are going to defeat Talafrico. Ken Paxton is going
to win. And we're going to send that little freak show,
Alfred E. Newman, we're going to send him back to
wherever the hell.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
It was he came.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
It wasn't a good place that he came from, I
can tell.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
You that. He had a disastrous interview on Fox. I
know what his strategy was. I'm going to go on Fox.
I'm going to get my equal time. He got some really,
I wouldn't call them tough questions, just honest, obvious questions.
He chose to flip flop. He now believes there's only
two genders, not six. I wonder how that'll impact his
(24:19):
base in the LGBTQ voter block to get out for him.
So obviously that's a big race. And obviously the key
point in your address last night was you may not
be on the ballot, but vote like you are. And
I think you made that pretty clear.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Well, you have to vote.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Like I'm on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
You know, you talk about Talafrico is looking for the
votes from the LGBTQ community. We're looking for the votes
from the TRUMP.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Community, right?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
And nobody does it better than we do it, right?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
MAGA.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
You look at Trump, you look at the YMCA, it's
a beautiful song. And you have to vote like I'm
on the ballot because if you don't vote, we're going
to lose.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
And we don't want to lose. We don't want the Democrats.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
We call them Democrats. We don't want because they're very
stupid people. We don't want the Democrats to take control
of our country and run wild with it.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
We don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We want to win.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
We want Magna to win.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
We want Bobby to win.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
We want Donna. You know, you look at Donna. We
haven't even talked about Donna.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
And she will play very well.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
She's fabulous.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
You know, that make America fabulous again. We love Donna.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Any chance Donna will appear tonight? Excuse me. Excuse me.
We don't need to do.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
You have a call.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You're sick.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
You should take a little bit of time and wait.
You might have the China virus. We may hit G.
I think I have a little more tariffs just as
revenge for you. Right. But you look at Donna. Donna
may show up tonight. She might be the surprise headliner tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
We'll see what happens. She's a tremendous person.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Come to think of it, I've never seen Pam Bondi
or Don in the same room together, but I digress.
Closing moments with Friday, well, Thursday with 47. It's halftime
of the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
What can we look forward to tonight, Mr.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
President?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Well, we may be able to look forward to Donna.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
We're looking at many.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
Other things that we're looking very closely at it, by
the way. But we may bring out Maduro. We might
bring out, we call him the fat cat. We may
bring him out. We may bring out Fetterman again. You
look at Fetterman, he looks like Sasquatch. You can finally
see him. But we're going to do a beautiful job
getting people out to vote. We're going to tell them
they have to get out to vote. Why do they
(26:32):
have to get out to vote? We have a secure border.
We have low crime. We have Jobs, jobs, jobs coming
back into our country like nobody's ever seen before.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Nobody thought it was possible.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
You know, we did great ratings last night, despite the NFL.
You look at the NFL. Well, see, I was going
to bring that up.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
He threw a.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Lot of interceptions, right?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, he did. What a stupid guy.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
He's the next Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, he's not the next Tom Brady. He's a horrible person.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I was going to bring that up, but I thought
you'd accuse that of being a dumb thing to say,
that why did we choose to go up against him.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
No, that's not a stupid thing.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
No, we have the ratings.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We chose to go up against him because we have
the ratings.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
And we're doing very well. So we're going to do
more tonight. We're going to talk about why you need
to vote Republican. We got to get people out to vote.
We got to win, win, win. Nobody's ever seen before
for our country and for Donna. Think about it. We're
laying the groundwork for Donna to run in 2028. She's
going to do a great job.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But for our country.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And we have to make sure that people get out
and vote.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
They're gonna get out and vote in bigger numbers than
anybody's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Did you notice Fetterman's hoodie said property of no one?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I did.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know if anybody else did. Doesn't seem to
have a party anymore.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
John Fetterman is a tremendous guy. He's a fantastic person,
and he did a great job. We're happy to.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Have him if he wants to be a Republican. Mr.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
President, thank you so much for your time on this
special edition, Thursday with 47, halftime of the midterm convention.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Appreciate your time.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
Thank you, Peter Boy, and feel better, right?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Feel better. I need to. Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
The president, ladies and gentlemen, 45 minutes after the hour. Well,
when it comes to supplements, there are two things that
matter most. Does it work? And can you trust it?
Glenn Beck's told you for decades, it works. You can
trust it. I've been telling you for over a year.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
It works.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You can trust it. Relief factor. But I love telling
everybody else's stories. At 80 years old, Richard and Paula
were tired of aches and discomfort, keeping them awake at night.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Isn't that what pain does?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
If it lets you sleep, it's the last thing you're
thinking about before you fall asleep. And it's the first
thing waiting for you in the morning. They decided to
give Relief Factor a try. Now they're sleeping through the
night again. Paula says she's so impressed she wants everyone
to know about it. I just helped in that effort.
But the story we can't wait to tell the most
is yours. Relief Factor is going to get to that
(28:57):
root cause of your aches and pains.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's not age. It's inflammation.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Because America's turning 250, we have an introductory three-week quick
start price of $ 17. 76. That is remarkably low.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
$ 17.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
76 and enough time for you to begin to feel
a difference and begin your relief factor story. Declare your
independence from pain. Go to relieffactor.com today, relieffactor.com, or call
1-800-4-RELIEF for your three-week quick start of Relief Factor.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
That's 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF, online at relieffactor.com.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I appreciate Sean being easy on me. I don't have
much lungs to laugh. That is not really the president.
That's Sean Farage, who joins us every Friday with Friday
with 47. You can learn more about him at Farash, F-A-R-A-S-H, farashmedia.com.
He even records special messages for special occasions for your
loved ones.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I highly recommend them.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Republicans gathered yesterday for date night one of the Republican
midterm convention in Dallas, built to spotlight President Trump in
the final stretch of the election cycle. And he assured everyone,
even though his name's not on the ballot, vote like
it is.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
So I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
To pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I'm on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Just one more time.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
For all of you that think the president had to
end the war with Iran before the midterms, he said
he expects them to end.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
After the midterms.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
The world will be over very shortly after the election.
They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we lose
so they can deal with dumb, weak Democrats and they
can have their nuclear bomb.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
As for Canada.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Because you know, Lake Ontario, we're going to call that
now Lake America.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Although maybe it's going to work out.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Canada very much wants to make a deal.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
But it's going to be called Lake America. That's not
all he's renaming.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
The hormones straight We should call it the Trump strength.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I should get something out of it. The Trump strength.
And what everybody's talking about, the promise of Trump dividends.
But we're making a fortune.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Get $ 5, 000.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
It will be called the Trump dividend.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
We'll call it the Trump dividend.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Well, today marks one year since conservative activist Charlie Kirk
was shot and assassinated at a Utah Valley University event.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Mark Mayfield remembers.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
The 31-year-old left behind a wife, Erica Kirk, now CEO
of his Turning Point USA organization, and their two young children.
Reflecting on this week's anniversary in an essay for the
New York Times, Erica Kirk noted that the grief is
there always, but said she's learning that mourning and living
life at the same time are part of the rhythm
of grief. President Trump mourned Charlie Kirk's passing at the time,
(32:00):
calling the incident a dark moment for America and saying
his voice had now become bigger and grander than ever before.
Tyler Robinson, the man charged with Kirk's murder, has pleaded
not guilty.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
A pair of incumbents did not do well in Rhode
Island's primary last night.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Scott Carr has more.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Reports say incumbent Governor Dan McKee and the mayor of
the state's largest city, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley, both lost
their respective Democratic primaries. McKee lost to former CVS executive
Helena Folks, whom he beat in a five-way primary four
years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
While Mayor Smiley lost.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
To Democratic Socialist State Representative David Morales.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Hawaii Governor Josh Green has gotten a firsthand look at
the devastation left behind by Hurricane Lowell.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Tammy Trujillo reports.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Thousands are still without power on Kauai, and Green says
most isolated areas of the island could wait up to
a month for their electricity to be restored. The state's
ready to provide hotel rooms or vacation rental spaces for
residents who have to wait for power. According to the governor,
repairing damage from the storm will cost over $ 400 million.
To offset those costs, he's contacted the White House and
(33:06):
FEMA to expedite a disaster declaration, which usually covers about 75%
of the costs. I'm Tammy Trujillo.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Jackson Smith Najigba with 122 yards and a touchdown. Seahawks
come from behind to win 13-10 over the Patriots last night.
The NFL regular season is underway. Continues tonight. 49ers and Rams,
735 on Netflix. For those of you who like a
little college with your football... 7 o'clock ESPN Florida A &
M in Miami to take on the hurricanes. Well, you
(33:33):
know him as national correspondent Rory O'Neill. We affectionately call
him Good News Rory, and he's got some on housing
listings and what that means for buyers.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Good morning, Rory. Yeah, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Redfin says that now houses on the marketplace are up
to a six-year high, and that is good news for
buyers out there who may have some bargaining power when
trying to land that dream home. Places like San Francisco
is seeing big buying numbers. San Jose, though, seeing big
home numbers listed being put on the marketplace. Nashville, also
(34:06):
one of those communities where they're seeing a lot of
houses hitting the marketplace. Seattle, Boston, and Warren, Michigan as well. Still,
the home prices are high. The median price, meaning half
sell above this number, half below, just a hair under
$ 400, 000 for a new home.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
Yikes.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Add to that interest rates that are over 6.5%. You're
talking $ 80, 000 for that down payment, which is keeping a
lot of people from the marketplace.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
So what created this crisis? baby boomers with these homes
that were worth more than ever. If they move, they
can sell and get a lot, but they're going to
pay more at a higher interest rate. So we need
to either build more or get the interest rates to
come down. What do we think is loosening up the inventory?
People just tired of waiting?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Well, that may be a big part of it. And
then it's different, of course, city by city. As I said,
San Jose and Nashville and Seattle and Boston, what do
they have in common?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
But we're seeing really these numbers spike for various reasons.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
A lot of it has to do with some of
the tech issues.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Sector having troubles in the san jose area so a
lot of people perhaps leaving uh leaving their jobs there
it's difficult to pinpoint one specific reason but it is
encouraging still overall there's about four to five million fewer
homes out there than we need so we need builders
to get out there especially building those entry-level homes you
(35:33):
know the builder makes a lot more profit making a
mcmansion rather than some 1100 square foot three bedroom job
and that's where the real struggle is, finding those entry-level
homes out there.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Well, it's time for me to get the newest edition
of Apple Phone due to battery and slowness. When I
was talking to my Apple representative, he said, well, first
things first, I'm not selling you a new phone today.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You're going to come back next month. And I said, why? Well,
Apple will roll out all their new stuff, and you'll
want to wait for that.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
And then I said, well, what if they don't roll
something out? He just looked at me, and the face
was so funny, because of course they're going to roll
something out. What impressed you most was the watch, right?
Just because we need more people surveying us.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Well, yeah, because it has microphones and can summarize conversations
you just already had. And you're like, wait a minute.
Now is everyone in the office recording conversations? Look, you
and I talk into microphones. We know we're talking into microphones.
But now it's getting picked up on all these watches.
That's a bit strange. Add that to Google and Meta
have their glasses too.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
There's nothing sacred.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Well, and again, if you're in a classroom, It's recording.
And then it breaks it down into notes for you. Oh,
that's a great application.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
You're in a meeting.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
It breaks it down into notes for you. But it's
also listening to everybody all the time. And who else
knows who's listening? Again, privacy simply does not exist anymore.
And that's just a reality. So in radio, we view
every microphone like it's live, whether we think it is
or isn't. Pretty soon, you're going to have to view
every room as live, whether you realize it or not.
(37:04):
And then they got the flip phone fold out. to
a bigger size. You can check all that out at
your local Apple store. Rory's not budging. He's staying, what
are you?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Still Samsung. I have my Samsung flip.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
We've been doing foldable phones for a long time.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Rory will have more great reporting tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
One chance to live this Thursday, September the 10th, 2026.
It'll never happen again. Make it count.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Make a difference in someone's life. Cherish your own.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
A very special 9-11 program tomorrow on.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Your morning show. We're all in this together. This is
your morning show with Michael DelGiorno.
