Nothing compares to the senseless loss of life, but we will ask YMS political contributor Chris Walker to analyze the youth voting block accomplishments of Charlie Kirk and the impact of his assassination on future elections.
A new report has stunning news on what some Americans are paying in retail credit card interest (over 35% in some cases). National Correspondent RORY O’NEILL will look at which cards are charging the most interest, and how we are becoming a society based on “buy now – pay later.”

Speaker 3 (00:33):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan and
good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:38):

back button, all right, if you're just waking up. Public
memorial for Charlie Kirkus set for Sunday inside State Farm
Stadium in Glendale. They had a memorial vigil at the
Kennedy Center, Telsea Gabbard, RFK Jr. Speaker Johnson just some
of those who spoke are FK. Junior. Some of his
(01:21):
speech we have for you next half hour in our
Sounds of the Day. And Governor Kathy Hokeel of New
York has finally succumbed to the pressure and endorsed zorn
Mom Donnie for New York City mayor. A socialist for sure,
with promised programs that could bankrupt the state, maybe even
(01:45):
an Islamist. I wonder which of those three would make
her want to endorse him over a former governor Chris
Walker is a Republican consultant and analyst. And wow, that's
an interesting political development, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
In New York and America?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
After the Democrats everywhere good morning, I.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Mean, goodness, gracious, we've got embraced the socialism quickly on
the left. It's uh, it's quite it's quite a thing
that they have a path to the victory and they
keep choosing the losing side and stead it's it's good
for Republicans, good for conservatives, it's less so for New
York and America at large.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I mean, we're.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Out for them.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
It's a crazy situation.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Unless there's some silent majority in New York City that
hasn't spoken or taken a poll. Uh, he seems fine
marching towards victory. Wonder what this does for a governor's
race in that state or a presidential race in that
state beyond that or the midterms.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Well, yeah, I mean it's poly market. I think has
nearly an eighty percent chance of win. I mean that's
not a guarantee. I mean, Tennessee had an eighty nine
percent chance of winning on.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Saturday in the offs.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So you know, there's a there's always a chance to
come through. But you know, I think at.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
The end of the day, this is where the Democrat
Party is right now.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
They are not interested in viable solutions or you know,
taking on major threats to our country from an idological
standpoint or from a foreign policy standpoint, and so they
are kind of embracing this socialistic idea. This is I mean, frankly,
this is a culmination of thirty to forty years of
(03:24):
you know boomers, and you know, at every level of
the education system of our country, what do we expect
if these kids don't have any idea what freedom and
democracy and you know, individual liberty is all about. There,
they're embracing socialism because they have been taught in their schools.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's got me feeling sorry for Fetterman. I mean, he
was on Inside Politics over the weekend and you know
try you know, he addressed some of the outrageous rhetoric,
but basically what he was addressing was what's with this party?
They can't figure out why they keep losing, and they
want to double down on the very things that have
been causing them to lose. He seems quite stunned. The
(04:03):
reality is he got better from his stroke and they
went left of him.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I mean, I sometimes just speaking the truth sounds so harsh.
I don't mean it to, but I mean that's really
what it is. I think he's wondering the party he's
a part of right now.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I mean, it would not surprise me if he becomes
an independent before and look, I mean, Pennsylvania is a
because of President Trump is more of a purple state
than it has been in most of our lifetime. I mean,
I never thought Pennsylvania was winnable for us, and President
Trump comes along.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
And changes the political calcus of the state.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Now, ironically, George has become more purple than than Pennsylvania,
and that's that's an issue. But if you're a senator
from Pennsylvania, your responsibility, if you want to get re election,
is to listen to that overall crowd. It seems like
Philadelphia is less and less blue, and that's going to
be in Pittsburgh for that matter, and that's going to
be an interesting calpcoes for a center revironment. To think
about it, he runs through life.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
If I gave you the timeframe of I don't know. Uh,
I don't want to do last century. So from two
thousand to today, who's the most sensible Democrat.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Two thousand and two today?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, because if you go into the last century, it's
JFK and that that ruins the whole conversation.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
But I'd go with Zell Miller. But uh, you know,
that's a that's a different lifetime ago.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Georgia, Georgia Democrat who was basically a freedom, you know,
an opportunity were Democrat said were rare, rare, rare to find.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You know, did you ever more did you ever think
it would be Fetterman? Because it is right now, he's sensible.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Here's my issue with Fetterment. I I don't believe everything
he's saying. I think he's making some political calculus. I mean,
this is a man who ran ry to the left
in his first selection, and.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, like I think.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It's one of the things you know, one Mile bosses
in sending you to say, you know, when you get
an intelligent intelligence briefing every day, that changes you, right,
you have a you have an understanding of a much
bigger picture than you thought you'd do.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
When you're a candidate.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And you know John Fetterman, who.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Has seen the October seventh attacks and has seen kind
of what happens when you see radical Ziehtism run him up,
is rightfully, you know, on the right side of that
issue at the you know, at the other side of
his party. But I think Fetterman on the whole has
h you know, leftist tendencies more so than than I
think he's letting on from a public standpoint. But he's
(06:41):
right on these issues. And I'm listening to him and
I'm hearing him, and I'm saying, Okay, this is this
is what I'm you know, a more sober minded Democrat
than I've heard in a lot a long time. But
there's just a part.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Of me that doesn't fully believe he believes what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Republican consultant, analyst and your Marine Show contributor Chris Walker
joining us, well, nothing compares to the senseless life loss
of a life, a husband and a father. But you know,
at some point you have to analyze this from a
political perspective. And Charlie Kirk, I don't think I'm falsely
(07:15):
crediting in Turning Point, USA has had done a very
effective job. I know all three of my kids were reached.
But you know there are many people and now in
the sounds of the day will show what's his name, Harriet,
and will break down you just how much he delivered
youth vote for Donald Trump. So it begs the question,
(07:40):
what's the impact on the future of elections. I know
there's a big question Marcus to who will take over
Turning Point or who will take over that role, And
very few people that can fill that resume. But how
big of a concern should this be for Republicans and
what might be the outcome of this?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Well, I think one we've seen the results of just
over the last five to six days or only spend
out of the kind of processing of this, and what
we're hearing.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
From turning point is is that there's new chapters being coming,
you know, popping up and being you know, interested in
being created across the amphis spectrum. So I mean, I
think in a way, you know, out of out of
tragedy can come you know, can come good. You know,
I hate that it feels even weird saying that it's
not it's not what I'm trying to say, But you know,
(08:37):
I'm in eloquent when it comes to this because it's
just such a shock and it's just such a human
tragedy that I just it's hard for me to put
good words into some of my responses.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
But you know, there's a lot of people that are
that are first time have for the first time I.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Heard us of Charlie Kirkis and googled a little bit
and figured it out that I'm and this guy kind
of just listen to people who disagreed with him and
debated them and you know, certainly wasn't worth making a
bullet over. And you know, people are rightfully saying, hey,
this is this is somebody that I want to learn
more about. And so I think from that perspective, maybe
some good can't come out of it, and it continue
(09:11):
to kind of focus on, you know, having conversations and
not just you know, shouting each other down and you know,
taking the side of someone who wants to shut somebody
up by shooting them. That's that's not the position that
anyone wants to you know, kind of put their head out,
unless you're just insane leftist that is celebrating this. I
(09:31):
just I think that is more of an indication of
the rot of their of their you know, soul than
it is of a you know kind of American discourse.
So you know, there's a lot of moneys come out
of it and remind people of faith.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We serve a sovereign God who promises to work all
things together for the good for those who are called
according to his purpose. But the most difficult heavy lifting
is and you can have more chapters, and that's wonderful.
When Charlie was once asked who should be your successor,
which is a strange question to ask a thirty one
year old, And he turned the reports to you, in
(10:05):
other words, meaning anyone else, next man up, you step up.
But there's been conversations it can't be vice president, the
vice president of the United States. He's obviously not only
the vice president, he's likely to be the next president.
It could be Vivek Ramaswami if he didn't win the
gougernatorial race in Ohio, though I think he has a
really good chance of winning. Probably Candice Owen, after all,
(10:30):
it all started with her and Charlie. But they're going
to have to find you can have chapters, but they're
going to have to have somebody that can debate the
way he did, share the share faith in the way
he did civically and spiritually, and doctor Lee accurate.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
There.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It's pretty big shoes to fill long term, big, very
big shoes to fill.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And you know, it may be a group of people.
You know, look, we I'm a big believer in you know,
you know me, like in community and individualism, and so it's.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Not maybe one person, but thirty people that take on
a mantle. And so if somebody built something and up
to multiple.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
People to do so.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And we'll see how turning point kind of.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Exists in the in the aftermath, and you know, I
have no doubt that it will. There are leaders there
that will continue to see it flourish and thrive. But uh,
I think it's a it's a big loss, uh for
for just humanity. But uh, you know through through that
comes you know, other people that will take the mantle
and roam with it even more. And I think that
we've seen that kind of manifest itself through people who
(11:41):
are rightfully angry but also even more determined to carry
on his legacy, which is exactly what should happen.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So well, it reminds me of it reminds me of
our country in a lot of ways, right, our fathers totally. Well,
that's you know something great.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, like George Washington is doing two terms because ultimately
saying the country is bigger than me. I mean, that's
that's the that's the key to this. I mean, you've got.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
To you know, let go of sell in the in the.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Cause of liberty and and uh and righteousness and so
you know that's what's the viralty to, you know, lose
yourself can take up across and follow me, right. I mean,
that's that's a religious tone for you on this, but
I mean this is true, and that's what we kind
of need to be doing as an as America. It's
it's letting go of yourself and and creating an environment.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Where you know righteousness comes through.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
And so that's that's a that's a big part of
this that I think Charlie was a good manifestation of
in a in a.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
In the short time that he was able to be.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
With US Republican consult and Chris Walker. As always every Monday,
we appreciate your analysis and perspectives and we'll talk to
you next Monday or sooner if conditions warrant.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
God bless you have a great week. This is your
morning show with Michael del Chrono. I'm gonna do the
top five stories real quick. The public memorial has been
set for Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It'll be Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
We already had a memorial vigil at the Kennedy Center.
You'll hear from RFK Junior, who spoke coming up next
half hour in our Sounds of the Day. The Man
accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, not cooperating, set to be
arraigned in court tomorrow. He was a furry and his
(13:25):
live in roommate was his lover, a transgender. Do with
that information what you want. Try not to google search
furry too much. It'll drive you crazy. Katy Hochol has
gone forward and endorsed Zoran Mamdani, a socialist potentially in
Islamis to be the mayor of her biggest city. And
(13:46):
the Atlanta Falcons whooped up on the Vikings, who clearly
have a quarterback problem. The Emmys were held last night.
The studio adolescents the pit in severance all the big winners.
Not much for the ABC, NBCCBS networks. Ken have your
morning show without your voice. Let's get a few voices
in here. And I've got some emails too, and I
wanted to get this on before the break. Let's start with.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Rachel no on Cana Fellen.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
She flipped the script when she didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Get Press secretary, and now she doesn't.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Support anything almost of Donald Trump's.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Agenda, So no to her.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
JD.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Van has to be fabulous, but he is the vice
president and the vake.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yes, love that and lots of guest people.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Joe in Pennsylvania, Good morning, Michael. My question to you
is the dev's claim that we are so evil and
hateful and violent. Yet where's all the riots, where's all
the fires, where's our hate speeches?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Nowhere to be found? Well, I mean, that's the one
thing we don't say out loud, right. We're hoping that
the majority is not the extremes on the Internet, but
a silent majority in the sense and they're watching, and
they're noticing, and hopefully they'll vote accordingly. Michael in Ohio,
The world is crazy.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Sin has been in the world since Adam and Eve,
and there's only one way for us to get through
it is the point our finger to the man upstairs,
the Lord Jesus Christ, have a good war.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I'm a little distracted to use the man upstairs because
that always makes you think of my father. He was
the man upstairs. But powerfully true. I was quoting a
song earlier, how can we see that far by Amy Grant,
of which Gary Chapman has sent me the words to it,
which I'm glad he did because I was trying to
make this point. So when you get to the chorus,
(15:41):
it goes. But like your Dady said, the same sun
that melts the wax can harden clay. And the same
rain that drowns the rat grows up hay. And the
mighty wind that knocks us down, if we lean into it,
it'll drive our fears away. You know, the same internet
(16:02):
that we want to now blame for the killer is
the same internet that made Charlie Kirk himself so visible,
be on the thousands on campus. I mean he went
into the lions dead. I'm not ignorant of that, but
he will live on on the Internet. Care for what
(16:27):
you point your fingers to, or maybe, like Michael is saying,
point up. That's how we got through it the last time.
Thanks for your talkbacks. We'll get to your emails and
sounds the day when your morning show continues. Next.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
This is David Peterson in Columbia, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with the Michael del Jarna.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno in Your Morning Show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson Mississippi or Akrons News
Talk six Fort WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio
five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. Love to be a
part of your morning routine. But we're glad you're here
(17:19):
now enjoyed the podcast Good Morning. I want to share
a couple of emails. You can always email me, some
of you prefer to write Michael d At iHeartMedia dot com.
Michael d At iHeartMedia dot com, Michael. No matter what,
the Memphis Mayor, Paul Young says, I am among many
(17:39):
in Memphis who look forward to any outside for us
coming to help straighten out this city. Memphis has so
much potential and is gifted with great natural resources and beauty.
It takes Trump to make that happen finally, sobeit it
(18:02):
is interesting the conversations we have, or the debates we have,
or the political rhetoric that we have, compared to who
in any of these cities would accept the status quo.
I mean, unless you're a thief, unless you're a rapist,
unless you're a murderer, who'd be against it? I mean,
(18:27):
if I lived in Memphis, I'd be happy the National
Guard might be coming. If it could do in Memphis,
would have did in Washington, DC. I don't know what
the legal challenges will be, but he makes the great point.
(18:49):
Who on earth living there wouldn't be for it. Kathy writes, Michael,
disorder in society as the result of disorder in the family.
There's a lot of that. By the way. By the way,
the email of the day, and I hate this, but
it comes from Chris, who writes, Michael, good morning. Here's
a photo of the original free It tells John dressed
(19:13):
like a duck. I remember that concert live. I remember
watching that. He came out as a duck and I
was like, what's going on without Johnny, Like, is Donald
duck or just a duck? Well he was like don
he was dressed like Donald. Okay there, Yeah, but all right,
So we also have a couple of talkbacks. I want
to start with James. James is in Youngstown. Psychology is
(19:33):
not the answer.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
I'm a retired psychologist that quit the American Psychological Association.
Over there endorsement of Mamblo Man Boy Love Association that
allows perverse to pray on adolescent boys, as if that's
great for them.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
How disgusting. Yeah, let me be clear, I wasn't suggesting psychology.
I think scripture, I thank God, I think the Holy Spirit.
I think Christ is a solution. But what I was
talking about was, up until a few years ago, this
whole transgender issue was treated as a mental illness and
a disorder. Now it's gender dysphoria. Now it's affirmed. We've
(20:12):
had three shootings in a row that might make us
want to question that. And then there's Tom in wr
At listening to WRC in Memphis. You keep using the
word furry is and he was a furry What exactly
is that? No, we're not see the first hour in
the podcast. You'll find the link to the podcast at
your morning show online dot com. We are not going
(20:33):
down that furry hole. Rabbit hole.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty bark.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
They're going a little bit.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
See how every time we bring up furry it gets
us in trouble. Well, it's been nice doing the show
with you. Uh Fetterman, When did I don't know? I
always bring up these pendulums. The pendulum between JFK and
Ted Kennedy, and that was the same womb. That's the
striking of a pendulum as you can get. But how
(21:11):
far has the Democrat Party gone to the left and
radically taken a portion of America with it. Well, John
Fetterman is probably the most sensible Democrat in America today
and he was on Inside Politics this weekend trying to
speak sense to his party that is drifting far left
(21:33):
of common sense. Listen, when you hear.
Speaker 12 (21:35):
Some Democrats saying Trump is acting like an autocrat.
Speaker 13 (21:39):
Yeah, no, that's the thing. If you actually compare them
to an actual autocrat, that is not just that. Now
last night, for example, people were complaining, they're protesting about oh,
that's the Hitler Hitler thing. You just don't ever ever
compare anyone to Hitler and those kinds of extreme things. Now,
look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, the man
(22:01):
was shot. Now we have to turn the temperature down.
It's like, we can't compare people to these kinds of
figures in history. And this is not an autocrat. This
is a product of a democratic election.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
So you don't think that Trump is at all shattering
any of the norms of democracy in any.
Speaker 13 (22:19):
I'm saying he's definitely different, but that's what America voted for. Again,
I don't agree with many of these things, but that
does not make him an autocratic But.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
One of the things I hear from Democrats a lot
saying the reason why voters may not like Democrats because
they don't fight hard enough.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Democrats would be fighting harder.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
What do you say to folks, what exactly what exactly
is fighting?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What is fighting?
Speaker 13 (22:40):
You know, delay more votes or just vote every no
on everything, or saying well, if they're doing X, well,
then that means it's wrong that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's like, what exactly is fighting? I'll give you an example.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
It could be shutting the government down, like some Democrats say,
if this happens, it will be Trump's faults.
Speaker 13 (22:56):
That's not fighting. That's mutilating our nation. If you vote
to shut our government down, you are going to harm
millions of Americans.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Actually, finally, something I disagree on. Shutting down the government
is the closest you will get to prioritized budgeting. Unfortunately,
But isn't that amazing? John Fetterman continues to be the
most sensible I can tell you what fighting is not
assassinating people. I wish he'd ha said that.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
One of the more silver linings of this entire tragedy
was America getting to know Utah Governor Spencer Cox. We
find out the President actually asked him to calm the
nation on the night of the assassination. We played the
entire speech of that night earlier. What a big call
(23:49):
to get from a president, what a big duty to receive,
and how flawlessly he handled it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
The media is liking them too. He was on this
week on CNN State of the Union. Listen.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
Outlets are reporting that the suspect lived with a transgender partner.
Is that accurate and our investigators looking at this part
of his life as a possible motivation?
Speaker 15 (24:16):
Yes, definitely, And yes I can confirm that I know
that has been reported and that the FBI has confirmed
that as well, that the roommate was a romantic partner,
a male transitioning to female. I can say that he
has been very cooperative. This partner has been incredibly cooperative,
(24:37):
had no idea that this was happening, and is working
with investigators right now.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So keep in mind, because all this gets very confusing.
The twenty two year old assassin is not cooperating. His
family members they cooperated. His transgender lover and roommate is cooperating.
It is the shooter that had a furry fixation. By
(25:05):
the way, to answer that caller and I just joke
around it, what is the difference between beast reality and furry? Well,
the Internet was one conclusion. I mean, Jeffrey was trying
to give us a definition we could say for you.
I have a child from my neighbor used to play
with my kids when they were little, and he became
I guess is that what we're calling it now, furry
(25:27):
fixated or I think the generation just calls them furries,
and they will often dress like a dog or an animal, uh,
and that's what they're attracted to. But I guess mostly
animated animals. Obviously a part of gender identity. And I'll
(25:55):
leave it up to a psychiatrist to get it right
again on whether it's mental illness or not. But that's
what a furry is. So the shooter was furry fixated,
the lover and roommate was transgendered, meaning biological male transitioning
or dressing like a girl. And then that of course
brings up what do we blame. Is this a transgender
(26:18):
or a mental illness issue? Left will tell you it's
still a gun issue. Is it a hate for the
president or even the death of journalism? The gin's up
or even elected officials that jinted up by calling him
hitler and fascist and dictator because he did edge fascist
(26:39):
on some of the ammunition as he did mentioned transgenderism.
And there's Governor Cox who believes the internet is there
real cancer.
Speaker 15 (26:48):
We've had periods like this in our past history. I've
mentioned before in the late sixties and early seventies. Certainly
we saw these types of high profile political assassinations, another
dark time in our history. People keep waiting for somebody
to lead us out of this, and I think that's
a mistake. I don't think any one person, certainly not
(27:09):
a governor. I don't think a president. I don't think
anyone can change the trajectory of this. It truly is
about every single one of us. And I can't emphasize
enough the damage that social media and the Internet is
doing to all of us. Those dopamine hits, These companies
trillion dollar market caps, the most powerful companies in the
(27:32):
history of the world have figured out how to hack
our brains, get us addicted to outrage, which is the
same type of dopamine, the same chemical that you get
from taking fentanyl. Get us addicted to outrage, and get
us to hate each other. I'm seeing it in real
time since the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. I'm seeing
it in every corner of our society. The conflict entrepreneurs
(27:54):
are taking advantage of us, and we are losing our
agency and we have to take that back.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Boy, I love this governor and I love them a lot.
There I said it right out a loud, didn't I
It would take a whole show to unpack all that.
These algorithms are designed to get you to spend more
occasions and longer and longer each occasion, and they're doing
(28:22):
their job. You can see the demise of cable television,
the demise of network television. I got news for you.
Even radio is taken ahead. And all the algorithm's gonna
(28:42):
do is find out what it takes to keep you
coming back and watching or listening longer. And if it's
political division, and if it's outrage, that's what it's going
to feed. And that along with perfection culture that to
depression and suicide, to lack of sleep that leads to depression,
(29:04):
to not engaging with real human beings, which leads to loneliness.
To whatever you want to find, good or bad. It's
all available now my algorithm, it's constantly showing me cars
and boats. Why said knows that's what I mentioned to buy,
(29:28):
all right, So I mean, you know, we said this earlier.
The same Internet that made Charlie Kirk and appearances on
Fox and going into the lions don and debating kids
in person. But I would think the Fox and the
Internet and the funding is what made him. So that's
(29:49):
why I got into that. Amy grant lyric Red actually
brought up the best question of the day. Is this
really a social media problem or an Internet problem? And
the answer is I keep saying Internet Internet for a
reason because once you're radicalized, use the rest of the
Internet to find the ways and the means to carry
it out. But the social dilemmas that dysfunction in and
(30:10):
of itself, as is the abandonment of absolute truth, as
is the abandonment of God and the role of the
believer and self governed in a republic. There's layers and
layers and layers of dysfunction. Now I want to conclude
with what Governor Cox was trying to explain the last
(30:32):
time we were here. It could have gone either way too,
and it's worthy of bringing up because Lyndon Johnson put
it on Robert Kennedy to address the assassination of Martin
Luther King and calm this country down, and he went
off the campaign trail and did it live on network television.
(30:56):
Hard to have such an event today, by the way,
because nobody's watching network television. There was a Jesus Revolution
going on where hippies were the first to turn to Christ,
(31:18):
and it created a cultural awakening and a spiritual revival.
Many credit that with why the assassination stopped and America
was able to come. Others point to Nixon, who talked
to the majority center and ignored the far left and
the far right. I don't think you can expect that
(31:39):
necessarily from Donald Trump, and I'm not seeing any signs
of that. But can you imagine it's nineteen sixty eight
all over again, only now we have the Internet, now
we have social media. Can you imagine it's eighteen fifty
(32:01):
ten years before the Civil war, and you got social
media and the Internet, and then we got to be
careful not to point to any one of these things,
because most of them are just symptoms of a nation
that's lost its way, it's truth, and its intent. There
(32:24):
was a vigil and RFK Junior was one of the
prominent speakers at the memorial vigil at the Kennedy Center
this weekend. I thought you'd want to hear his words
in closing.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I had a conversation once with Charlie.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
We were talking about the danger that we both faced
from challenging entrenched interests. He asked me if I was
scared to die, and I said to him, there's a
lot worse things than dying, and one of those, my
(33:02):
chief among us, is losing our constitutional rights and having
our children raised in slavery.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Very powerful remarks from a person who lost their uncle
and lost their father to assassination, and an affirmation that
Charlie Kirk was very much aware of how endangered his
life was. Doctors call it weight cycling, and half of
Americans do it. It's when you lose weight, only gain
it back, and then lose some more and gain even
(33:33):
more back if you do it enough. You'll be at
risk of diabetes, liver damage, heart attack, and stroke. Puts
tremendous strain on your organs at least the serious health issues.
The bottom line is most people need help stopping the
yo yoing and the weight cycling. And here's a great way. Lean.
(33:54):
I take it. My children steal it from me and
take it because it it stops the oyoing. And it's
non prescription, created by doctor. It's an oral supplement, not
a GOLP injectable, and the science is impressive. It's studied
ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways. Helps you
(34:15):
maintain healthy blood sugar levels, helps you control appetite and cravings.
And it helps burn fat by converting it to energy.
And that's where the feeling great comes in. And burning
fat that helps keep the weight off. So if you
want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace that
stays off, add Lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's your morning show with Michael Delchno.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I don't know if I said anything today that makes sense,
but at least it's over. Falcons twenty two to six
roughed up the vikings two Monday night football games tonight,
the we're all the studio adolescens, the pit in severance,
not a whole lot for network television. And the President
is gonna maybe send the National Guard into Memphis, looking
like he might. And I know a lot of people
(35:13):
from WRC and Memphis have been chiming in on emails
saying bring it on and need to make my city safe.
And Governor Hokal has endorsed Mom Donnie. That's an interesting choice.
And Roy O'Neills keeping an eye on the latest and
the investigation of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Good morning, Rory,
one minute, I apologize, sure no.
Speaker 16 (35:29):
We did hear from Cash Bettel, the FBI director on
Fox and Friends this morning saying that there is some
DNA evidence that links the man arrested to the crime scene,
also that there were some messages they've been able to
retrieve that perhaps suggested that there was some exchange with
someone else where. He said he had an opportunity to
take out Charlie Kirk. That's the quote there and he
(35:50):
was going to do it. So until now the governor
had said no one else was involved. Maybe there was
some heads up there. So let's see how more this
information comes forward with the really of documentation tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Appreciate it, Rory, and we'll have work tomorrow with the
memorial service vigil at the Kennedy Center behind us, we
press on to the public memorial for Charlie Kirk that
has been set for Sunday inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The President will be there. I don't know if it's
a good idea of both the President and the Vice President,
but both are expected, as is the posthumous awarding of
(36:22):
the Medal of Freedom. That'll do it. Go make a
difference in someone's life, Cherish your own. We'll try again
tomorrow morning on your morning show.
Speaker 3 (36:29):

back button, all right, if you're just waking up. Public
memorial for Charlie Kirkus set for Sunday inside State Farm
Stadium in Glendale. They had a memorial vigil at the
Kennedy Center, Telsea Gabbard, RFK Jr. Speaker Johnson just some
of those who spoke are FK. Junior. Some of his
(01:21):
speech we have for you next half hour in our
Sounds of the Day. And Governor Kathy Hokeel of New
York has finally succumbed to the pressure and endorsed zorn
Mom Donnie for New York City mayor. A socialist for sure,
with promised programs that could bankrupt the state, maybe even
(01:45):
an Islamist. I wonder which of those three would make
her want to endorse him over a former governor Chris
Walker is a Republican consultant and analyst. And wow, that's
an interesting political development, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
In New York and America?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
After the Democrats everywhere good morning, I.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Mean, goodness, gracious, we've got embraced the socialism quickly on
the left. It's uh, it's quite it's quite a thing
that they have a path to the victory and they
keep choosing the losing side and stead it's it's good
for Republicans, good for conservatives, it's less so for New
York and America at large.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I mean, we're.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Out for them.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
It's a crazy situation.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Unless there's some silent majority in New York City that
hasn't spoken or taken a poll. Uh, he seems fine
marching towards victory. Wonder what this does for a governor's
race in that state or a presidential race in that
state beyond that or the midterms.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Well, yeah, I mean it's poly market. I think has
nearly an eighty percent chance of win. I mean that's
not a guarantee. I mean, Tennessee had an eighty nine
percent chance of winning on.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Saturday in the offs.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So you know, there's a there's always a chance to
come through. But you know, I think at.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
The end of the day, this is where the Democrat
Party is right now.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
They are not interested in viable solutions or you know,
taking on major threats to our country from an idological
standpoint or from a foreign policy standpoint, and so they
are kind of embracing this socialistic idea. This is I mean, frankly,
this is a culmination of thirty to forty years of
(03:24):
you know boomers, and you know, at every level of
the education system of our country, what do we expect
if these kids don't have any idea what freedom and
democracy and you know, individual liberty is all about. There,
they're embracing socialism because they have been taught in their schools.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's got me feeling sorry for Fetterman. I mean, he
was on Inside Politics over the weekend and you know
try you know, he addressed some of the outrageous rhetoric,
but basically what he was addressing was what's with this party?
They can't figure out why they keep losing, and they
want to double down on the very things that have
been causing them to lose. He seems quite stunned. The
(04:03):
reality is he got better from his stroke and they
went left of him.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I mean, I sometimes just speaking the truth sounds so harsh.
I don't mean it to, but I mean that's really
what it is. I think he's wondering the party he's
a part of right now.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I mean, it would not surprise me if he becomes
an independent before and look, I mean, Pennsylvania is a
because of President Trump is more of a purple state
than it has been in most of our lifetime. I mean,
I never thought Pennsylvania was winnable for us, and President
Trump comes along.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
And changes the political calcus of the state.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Now, ironically, George has become more purple than than Pennsylvania,
and that's that's an issue. But if you're a senator
from Pennsylvania, your responsibility, if you want to get re election,
is to listen to that overall crowd. It seems like
Philadelphia is less and less blue, and that's going to
be in Pittsburgh for that matter, and that's going to
be an interesting calpcoes for a center revironment. To think
about it, he runs through life.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
If I gave you the timeframe of I don't know. Uh,
I don't want to do last century. So from two
thousand to today, who's the most sensible Democrat.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Two thousand and two today?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, because if you go into the last century, it's
JFK and that that ruins the whole conversation.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
But I'd go with Zell Miller. But uh, you know,
that's a that's a different lifetime ago.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Georgia, Georgia Democrat who was basically a freedom, you know,
an opportunity were Democrat said were rare, rare, rare to find.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You know, did you ever more did you ever think
it would be Fetterman? Because it is right now, he's sensible.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Here's my issue with Fetterment. I I don't believe everything
he's saying. I think he's making some political calculus. I mean,
this is a man who ran ry to the left
in his first selection, and.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, like I think.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It's one of the things you know, one Mile bosses
in sending you to say, you know, when you get
an intelligent intelligence briefing every day, that changes you, right,
you have a you have an understanding of a much
bigger picture than you thought you'd do.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
When you're a candidate.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And you know John Fetterman, who.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Has seen the October seventh attacks and has seen kind
of what happens when you see radical Ziehtism run him up,
is rightfully, you know, on the right side of that
issue at the you know, at the other side of
his party. But I think Fetterman on the whole has
h you know, leftist tendencies more so than than I
think he's letting on from a public standpoint. But he's
(06:41):
right on these issues. And I'm listening to him and
I'm hearing him, and I'm saying, Okay, this is this
is what I'm you know, a more sober minded Democrat
than I've heard in a lot a long time. But
there's just a part.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Of me that doesn't fully believe he believes what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Republican consultant, analyst and your Marine Show contributor Chris Walker
joining us, well, nothing compares to the senseless life loss
of a life, a husband and a father. But you know,
at some point you have to analyze this from a
political perspective. And Charlie Kirk, I don't think I'm falsely
(07:15):
crediting in Turning Point, USA has had done a very
effective job. I know all three of my kids were reached.
But you know there are many people and now in
the sounds of the day will show what's his name, Harriet,
and will break down you just how much he delivered
youth vote for Donald Trump. So it begs the question,
(07:40):
what's the impact on the future of elections. I know
there's a big question Marcus to who will take over
Turning Point or who will take over that role, And
very few people that can fill that resume. But how
big of a concern should this be for Republicans and
what might be the outcome of this?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Well, I think one we've seen the results of just
over the last five to six days or only spend
out of the kind of processing of this, and what
we're hearing.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
From turning point is is that there's new chapters being coming,
you know, popping up and being you know, interested in
being created across the amphis spectrum. So I mean, I
think in a way, you know, out of out of
tragedy can come you know, can come good. You know,
I hate that it feels even weird saying that it's
not it's not what I'm trying to say, But you know,
(08:37):
I'm in eloquent when it comes to this because it's
just such a shock and it's just such a human
tragedy that I just it's hard for me to put
good words into some of my responses.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
But you know, there's a lot of people that are
that are first time have for the first time I.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Heard us of Charlie Kirkis and googled a little bit
and figured it out that I'm and this guy kind
of just listen to people who disagreed with him and
debated them and you know, certainly wasn't worth making a
bullet over. And you know, people are rightfully saying, hey,
this is this is somebody that I want to learn
more about. And so I think from that perspective, maybe
some good can't come out of it, and it continue
(09:11):
to kind of focus on, you know, having conversations and
not just you know, shouting each other down and you know,
taking the side of someone who wants to shut somebody
up by shooting them. That's that's not the position that
anyone wants to you know, kind of put their head out,
unless you're just insane leftist that is celebrating this. I
(09:31):
just I think that is more of an indication of
the rot of their of their you know, soul than
it is of a you know kind of American discourse.
So you know, there's a lot of moneys come out
of it and remind people of faith.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We serve a sovereign God who promises to work all
things together for the good for those who are called
according to his purpose. But the most difficult heavy lifting
is and you can have more chapters, and that's wonderful.
When Charlie was once asked who should be your successor,
which is a strange question to ask a thirty one
year old, And he turned the reports to you, in
(10:05):
other words, meaning anyone else, next man up, you step up.
But there's been conversations it can't be vice president, the
vice president of the United States. He's obviously not only
the vice president, he's likely to be the next president.
It could be Vivek Ramaswami if he didn't win the
gougernatorial race in Ohio, though I think he has a
really good chance of winning. Probably Candice Owen, after all,
(10:30):
it all started with her and Charlie. But they're going
to have to find you can have chapters, but they're
going to have to have somebody that can debate the
way he did, share the share faith in the way
he did civically and spiritually, and doctor Lee accurate.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
There.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It's pretty big shoes to fill long term, big, very
big shoes to fill.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And you know, it may be a group of people.
You know, look, we I'm a big believer in you know,
you know me, like in community and individualism, and so it's.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Not maybe one person, but thirty people that take on
a mantle. And so if somebody built something and up
to multiple.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
People to do so.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And we'll see how turning point kind of.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Exists in the in the aftermath, and you know, I
have no doubt that it will. There are leaders there
that will continue to see it flourish and thrive. But uh,
I think it's a it's a big loss, uh for
for just humanity. But uh, you know through through that
comes you know, other people that will take the mantle
and roam with it even more. And I think that
we've seen that kind of manifest itself through people who
(11:41):
are rightfully angry but also even more determined to carry
on his legacy, which is exactly what should happen.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So well, it reminds me of it reminds me of
our country in a lot of ways, right, our fathers totally. Well,
that's you know something great.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, like George Washington is doing two terms because ultimately
saying the country is bigger than me. I mean, that's
that's the that's the key to this. I mean, you've got.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
To you know, let go of sell in the in the.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Cause of liberty and and uh and righteousness and so
you know that's what's the viralty to, you know, lose
yourself can take up across and follow me, right. I mean,
that's that's a religious tone for you on this, but
I mean this is true, and that's what we kind
of need to be doing as an as America. It's
it's letting go of yourself and and creating an environment.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Where you know righteousness comes through.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
And so that's that's a that's a big part of
this that I think Charlie was a good manifestation of
in a in a.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
In the short time that he was able to be.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
With US Republican consult and Chris Walker. As always every Monday,
we appreciate your analysis and perspectives and we'll talk to
you next Monday or sooner if conditions warrant.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
God bless you have a great week. This is your
morning show with Michael del Chrono. I'm gonna do the
top five stories real quick. The public memorial has been
set for Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It'll be Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
We already had a memorial vigil at the Kennedy Center.
You'll hear from RFK Junior, who spoke coming up next
half hour in our Sounds of the Day. The Man
accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, not cooperating, set to be
arraigned in court tomorrow. He was a furry and his
(13:25):
live in roommate was his lover, a transgender. Do with
that information what you want. Try not to google search
furry too much. It'll drive you crazy. Katy Hochol has
gone forward and endorsed Zoran Mamdani, a socialist potentially in
Islamis to be the mayor of her biggest city. And
(13:46):
the Atlanta Falcons whooped up on the Vikings, who clearly
have a quarterback problem. The Emmys were held last night.
The studio adolescents the pit in severance all the big winners.
Not much for the ABC, NBCCBS networks. Ken have your
morning show without your voice. Let's get a few voices
in here. And I've got some emails too, and I
wanted to get this on before the break. Let's start with.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Rachel no on Cana Fellen.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
She flipped the script when she didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Get Press secretary, and now she doesn't.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Support anything almost of Donald Trump's.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Agenda, So no to her.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
JD.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Van has to be fabulous, but he is the vice
president and the vake.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yes, love that and lots of guest people.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Joe in Pennsylvania, Good morning, Michael. My question to you
is the dev's claim that we are so evil and
hateful and violent. Yet where's all the riots, where's all
the fires, where's our hate speeches?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Nowhere to be found? Well, I mean, that's the one
thing we don't say out loud, right. We're hoping that
the majority is not the extremes on the Internet, but
a silent majority in the sense and they're watching, and
they're noticing, and hopefully they'll vote accordingly. Michael in Ohio,
The world is crazy.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Sin has been in the world since Adam and Eve,
and there's only one way for us to get through
it is the point our finger to the man upstairs,
the Lord Jesus Christ, have a good war.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I'm a little distracted to use the man upstairs because
that always makes you think of my father. He was
the man upstairs. But powerfully true. I was quoting a
song earlier, how can we see that far by Amy Grant,
of which Gary Chapman has sent me the words to it,
which I'm glad he did because I was trying to
make this point. So when you get to the chorus,
(15:41):
it goes. But like your Dady said, the same sun
that melts the wax can harden clay. And the same
rain that drowns the rat grows up hay. And the
mighty wind that knocks us down, if we lean into it,
it'll drive our fears away. You know, the same internet
(16:02):
that we want to now blame for the killer is
the same internet that made Charlie Kirk himself so visible,
be on the thousands on campus. I mean he went
into the lions dead. I'm not ignorant of that, but
he will live on on the Internet. Care for what
(16:27):
you point your fingers to, or maybe, like Michael is saying,
point up. That's how we got through it the last time.
Thanks for your talkbacks. We'll get to your emails and
sounds the day when your morning show continues. Next.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
This is David Peterson in Columbia, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with the Michael del Jarna.

(17:19):
now enjoyed the podcast Good Morning. I want to share
a couple of emails. You can always email me, some
of you prefer to write Michael d At iHeartMedia dot com.
Michael d At iHeartMedia dot com, Michael. No matter what,
the Memphis Mayor, Paul Young says, I am among many
(17:39):
in Memphis who look forward to any outside for us
coming to help straighten out this city. Memphis has so
much potential and is gifted with great natural resources and beauty.
It takes Trump to make that happen finally, sobeit it
(18:02):
is interesting the conversations we have, or the debates we have,
or the political rhetoric that we have, compared to who
in any of these cities would accept the status quo.
I mean, unless you're a thief, unless you're a rapist,
unless you're a murderer, who'd be against it? I mean,
(18:27):
if I lived in Memphis, I'd be happy the National
Guard might be coming. If it could do in Memphis,
would have did in Washington, DC. I don't know what
the legal challenges will be, but he makes the great point.
(18:49):
Who on earth living there wouldn't be for it. Kathy writes, Michael,
disorder in society as the result of disorder in the family.
There's a lot of that. By the way. By the way,
the email of the day, and I hate this, but
it comes from Chris, who writes, Michael, good morning. Here's
a photo of the original free It tells John dressed
(19:13):
like a duck. I remember that concert live. I remember
watching that. He came out as a duck and I
was like, what's going on without Johnny, Like, is Donald
duck or just a duck? Well he was like don
he was dressed like Donald. Okay there, Yeah, but all right,
So we also have a couple of talkbacks. I want
to start with James. James is in Youngstown. Psychology is
(19:33):
not the answer.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
I'm a retired psychologist that quit the American Psychological Association.
Over there endorsement of Mamblo Man Boy Love Association that
allows perverse to pray on adolescent boys, as if that's
great for them.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
How disgusting. Yeah, let me be clear, I wasn't suggesting psychology.
I think scripture, I thank God, I think the Holy Spirit.
I think Christ is a solution. But what I was
talking about was, up until a few years ago, this
whole transgender issue was treated as a mental illness and
a disorder. Now it's gender dysphoria. Now it's affirmed. We've
(20:12):
had three shootings in a row that might make us
want to question that. And then there's Tom in wr
At listening to WRC in Memphis. You keep using the
word furry is and he was a furry What exactly
is that? No, we're not see the first hour in
the podcast. You'll find the link to the podcast at
your morning show online dot com. We are not going
(20:33):
down that furry hole. Rabbit hole.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and
puberty bark.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
They're going a little bit.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
It's going to work out.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
See how every time we bring up furry it gets
us in trouble. Well, it's been nice doing the show
with you. Uh Fetterman, When did I don't know? I
always bring up these pendulums. The pendulum between JFK and
Ted Kennedy, and that was the same womb. That's the
striking of a pendulum as you can get. But how
(21:11):
far has the Democrat Party gone to the left and
radically taken a portion of America with it. Well, John
Fetterman is probably the most sensible Democrat in America today
and he was on Inside Politics this weekend trying to
speak sense to his party that is drifting far left
(21:33):
of common sense. Listen, when you hear.
Speaker 12 (21:35):
Some Democrats saying Trump is acting like an autocrat.
Speaker 13 (21:39):
Yeah, no, that's the thing. If you actually compare them
to an actual autocrat, that is not just that. Now
last night, for example, people were complaining, they're protesting about oh,
that's the Hitler Hitler thing. You just don't ever ever
compare anyone to Hitler and those kinds of extreme things. Now,
look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, the man
(22:01):
was shot. Now we have to turn the temperature down.
It's like, we can't compare people to these kinds of
figures in history. And this is not an autocrat. This
is a product of a democratic election.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
So you don't think that Trump is at all shattering
any of the norms of democracy in any.
Speaker 13 (22:19):
I'm saying he's definitely different, but that's what America voted for. Again,
I don't agree with many of these things, but that
does not make him an autocratic But.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
One of the things I hear from Democrats a lot
saying the reason why voters may not like Democrats because
they don't fight hard enough.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Democrats would be fighting harder.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
What do you say to folks, what exactly what exactly
is fighting?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What is fighting?
Speaker 13 (22:40):
You know, delay more votes or just vote every no
on everything, or saying well, if they're doing X, well,
then that means it's wrong that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's like, what exactly is fighting? I'll give you an example.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
It could be shutting the government down, like some Democrats say,
if this happens, it will be Trump's faults.
Speaker 13 (22:56):
That's not fighting. That's mutilating our nation. If you vote
to shut our government down, you are going to harm
millions of Americans.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Actually, finally, something I disagree on. Shutting down the government
is the closest you will get to prioritized budgeting. Unfortunately,
But isn't that amazing? John Fetterman continues to be the
most sensible I can tell you what fighting is not
assassinating people. I wish he'd ha said that.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
One of the more silver linings of this entire tragedy
was America getting to know Utah Governor Spencer Cox. We
find out the President actually asked him to calm the
nation on the night of the assassination. We played the
entire speech of that night earlier. What a big call
(23:49):
to get from a president, what a big duty to receive,
and how flawlessly he handled it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
The media is liking them too. He was on this
week on CNN State of the Union. Listen.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
Outlets are reporting that the suspect lived with a transgender partner.
Is that accurate and our investigators looking at this part
of his life as a possible motivation?
Speaker 15 (24:16):
Yes, definitely, And yes I can confirm that I know
that has been reported and that the FBI has confirmed
that as well, that the roommate was a romantic partner,
a male transitioning to female. I can say that he
has been very cooperative. This partner has been incredibly cooperative,
(24:37):
had no idea that this was happening, and is working
with investigators right now.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So keep in mind, because all this gets very confusing.
The twenty two year old assassin is not cooperating. His
family members they cooperated. His transgender lover and roommate is cooperating.
It is the shooter that had a furry fixation. By
(25:05):
the way, to answer that caller and I just joke
around it, what is the difference between beast reality and furry? Well,
the Internet was one conclusion. I mean, Jeffrey was trying
to give us a definition we could say for you.
I have a child from my neighbor used to play
with my kids when they were little, and he became
I guess is that what we're calling it now, furry
(25:27):
fixated or I think the generation just calls them furries,
and they will often dress like a dog or an animal, uh,
and that's what they're attracted to. But I guess mostly
animated animals. Obviously a part of gender identity. And I'll
(25:55):
leave it up to a psychiatrist to get it right
again on whether it's mental illness or not. But that's
what a furry is. So the shooter was furry fixated,
the lover and roommate was transgendered, meaning biological male transitioning
or dressing like a girl. And then that of course
brings up what do we blame. Is this a transgender
(26:18):
or a mental illness issue? Left will tell you it's
still a gun issue. Is it a hate for the
president or even the death of journalism? The gin's up
or even elected officials that jinted up by calling him
hitler and fascist and dictator because he did edge fascist
(26:39):
on some of the ammunition as he did mentioned transgenderism.
And there's Governor Cox who believes the internet is there
real cancer.
Speaker 15 (26:48):
We've had periods like this in our past history. I've
mentioned before in the late sixties and early seventies. Certainly
we saw these types of high profile political assassinations, another
dark time in our history. People keep waiting for somebody
to lead us out of this, and I think that's
a mistake. I don't think any one person, certainly not
(27:09):
a governor. I don't think a president. I don't think
anyone can change the trajectory of this. It truly is
about every single one of us. And I can't emphasize
enough the damage that social media and the Internet is
doing to all of us. Those dopamine hits, These companies
trillion dollar market caps, the most powerful companies in the
(27:32):
history of the world have figured out how to hack
our brains, get us addicted to outrage, which is the
same type of dopamine, the same chemical that you get
from taking fentanyl. Get us addicted to outrage, and get
us to hate each other. I'm seeing it in real
time since the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. I'm seeing
it in every corner of our society. The conflict entrepreneurs
(27:54):
are taking advantage of us, and we are losing our
agency and we have to take that back.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Boy, I love this governor and I love them a lot.
There I said it right out a loud, didn't I
It would take a whole show to unpack all that.
These algorithms are designed to get you to spend more
occasions and longer and longer each occasion, and they're doing
(28:22):
their job. You can see the demise of cable television,
the demise of network television. I got news for you.
Even radio is taken ahead. And all the algorithm's gonna
(28:42):
do is find out what it takes to keep you
coming back and watching or listening longer. And if it's
political division, and if it's outrage, that's what it's going
to feed. And that along with perfection culture that to
depression and suicide, to lack of sleep that leads to depression,
(29:04):
to not engaging with real human beings, which leads to loneliness.
To whatever you want to find, good or bad. It's
all available now my algorithm, it's constantly showing me cars
and boats. Why said knows that's what I mentioned to buy,
(29:28):
all right, So I mean, you know, we said this earlier.
The same Internet that made Charlie Kirk and appearances on
Fox and going into the lions don and debating kids
in person. But I would think the Fox and the
Internet and the funding is what made him. So that's
(29:49):
why I got into that. Amy grant lyric Red actually
brought up the best question of the day. Is this
really a social media problem or an Internet problem? And
the answer is I keep saying Internet Internet for a
reason because once you're radicalized, use the rest of the
Internet to find the ways and the means to carry
it out. But the social dilemmas that dysfunction in and
(30:10):
of itself, as is the abandonment of absolute truth, as
is the abandonment of God and the role of the
believer and self governed in a republic. There's layers and
layers and layers of dysfunction. Now I want to conclude
with what Governor Cox was trying to explain the last
(30:32):
time we were here. It could have gone either way too,
and it's worthy of bringing up because Lyndon Johnson put
it on Robert Kennedy to address the assassination of Martin
Luther King and calm this country down, and he went
off the campaign trail and did it live on network television.
(30:56):
Hard to have such an event today, by the way,
because nobody's watching network television. There was a Jesus Revolution
going on where hippies were the first to turn to Christ,
(31:18):
and it created a cultural awakening and a spiritual revival.
Many credit that with why the assassination stopped and America
was able to come. Others point to Nixon, who talked
to the majority center and ignored the far left and
the far right. I don't think you can expect that
(31:39):
necessarily from Donald Trump, and I'm not seeing any signs
of that. But can you imagine it's nineteen sixty eight
all over again, only now we have the Internet, now
we have social media. Can you imagine it's eighteen fifty
(32:01):
ten years before the Civil war, and you got social
media and the Internet, and then we got to be
careful not to point to any one of these things,
because most of them are just symptoms of a nation
that's lost its way, it's truth, and its intent. There
(32:24):
was a vigil and RFK Junior was one of the
prominent speakers at the memorial vigil at the Kennedy Center
this weekend. I thought you'd want to hear his words
in closing.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I had a conversation once with Charlie.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
We were talking about the danger that we both faced
from challenging entrenched interests. He asked me if I was
scared to die, and I said to him, there's a
lot worse things than dying, and one of those, my
(33:02):
chief among us, is losing our constitutional rights and having
our children raised in slavery.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Very powerful remarks from a person who lost their uncle
and lost their father to assassination, and an affirmation that
Charlie Kirk was very much aware of how endangered his
life was. Doctors call it weight cycling, and half of
Americans do it. It's when you lose weight, only gain
it back, and then lose some more and gain even
(33:33):
more back if you do it enough. You'll be at
risk of diabetes, liver damage, heart attack, and stroke. Puts
tremendous strain on your organs at least the serious health issues.
The bottom line is most people need help stopping the
yo yoing and the weight cycling. And here's a great way. Lean.
(33:54):
I take it. My children steal it from me and
take it because it it stops the oyoing. And it's
non prescription, created by doctor. It's an oral supplement, not
a GOLP injectable, and the science is impressive. It's studied
ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways. Helps you
(34:15):
maintain healthy blood sugar levels, helps you control appetite and cravings.
And it helps burn fat by converting it to energy.
And that's where the feeling great comes in. And burning
fat that helps keep the weight off. So if you
want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace that
stays off, add Lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.

It's your morning show with Michael Delchno.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I don't know if I said anything today that makes sense,
but at least it's over. Falcons twenty two to six
roughed up the vikings two Monday night football games tonight,
the we're all the studio adolescens, the pit in severance,
not a whole lot for network television. And the President
is gonna maybe send the National Guard into Memphis, looking
like he might. And I know a lot of people
(35:13):
from WRC and Memphis have been chiming in on emails
saying bring it on and need to make my city safe.
And Governor Hokal has endorsed Mom Donnie. That's an interesting choice.
And Roy O'Neills keeping an eye on the latest and
the investigation of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Good morning, Rory,
one minute, I apologize, sure no.
Speaker 16 (35:29):
We did hear from Cash Bettel, the FBI director on
Fox and Friends this morning saying that there is some
DNA evidence that links the man arrested to the crime scene,
also that there were some messages they've been able to
retrieve that perhaps suggested that there was some exchange with
someone else where. He said he had an opportunity to
take out Charlie Kirk. That's the quote there and he
(35:50):
was going to do it. So until now the governor
had said no one else was involved. Maybe there was
some heads up there. So let's see how more this
information comes forward with the really of documentation tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Appreciate it, Rory, and we'll have work tomorrow with the
memorial service vigil at the Kennedy Center behind us, we
press on to the public memorial for Charlie Kirk that
has been set for Sunday inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The President will be there. I don't know if it's
a good idea of both the President and the Vice President,
but both are expected, as is the posthumous awarding of
(36:22):
the Medal of Freedom. That'll do it. Go make a
difference in someone's life, Cherish your own. We'll try again
tomorrow morning on your morning show.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
