If you're just waking up, huge crowds, morning in the streets, the Iran Supreme Leader. The son died? No, no, no. This is still dad who died four months ago. They're just now getting around to burying him. President Trump will host officials from the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ at the Oval Office today. Then it's off to Turkey for NATO leadership meetings. And the U.S. will continue its World Cup run tonight against Belgium. Roy O'Neill is here. There are a lot of things that happened this weekend in the news. I think Taylor Swift may have got married. I thought I heard something about that. To recap. everything from this 4th of July weekend. Say hello to my little friend Rory, which by the way, Rory, have you ever been to the fireworks display at the harbor in Boston? I hear that's the best. I have. Did you see the footage of the drone show? I thought that was rather spectacular this time around. I'm not really a fan normally with the drones, but they had some pretty good stuff. Well, I saw still, I was at a baseball game nearly dying of a heat exhaustion, but they did, I saw, was the drones that made the flag? Well, I didn't see them. Yeah, they did the Minuteman soldier. Then arming and shooting. They did Paul Revere on his horse riding. They had the old North church. Yeah, some pretty good ones on the Boston drone show. So Google around for that. Well, according to read, that's the only one to see. So my Bell's amusement park stories in Tulsa don't apparently hold a candle to it. Well, that DC fireworks show was something. If you're able to stay up late enough for it, they were able to start just before the stroke of midnight. That weather delay was pain, but still a pretty incredible show, 860,000 plus fireworks. And as you mentioned, right now that funeral is still happening all week long for the old Ayatollah. And we haven't seen, we're looking at the photos because you're trying to see, well, is one of his sons there in the picture? Because that would be the new Supreme Leader, and he's not there, Mushdaba. We haven't seen his image. Now, is he hiding out for fear of his safety? Is he hiding out because he's still recuperating from injuries he received in the same kind of attacks that killed his dad? I guess we'll find out in, I don't know, four months when we bury him. No, I'm kidding. You know, it's interesting. I don't want to get into a big, long, drawn out. But, you know, Islam is a religion. It is also a form of government, a form of taxation.

It is a system of life. It's a lot of things. But the Supreme Ayatollah is the spiritual leader. And Muslim law is you're to be buried within hours of death. And yet, four months later, they're claiming in a war they won. The conditions kept them from doing this. That's a pretty tough narrative to sell as well. But this is, for those that are just waking up, they're not finally admitting the sun is dead. They're now just getting around to burying dad. Ali Khamenei. So. Yeah, all week long. So he won't be buried till when now? Friday or Thursday? It might, well, I think it'll be Thursday our time. That was the big news. So fireworks are big news. Heat that took 25 lives, the big news. The big wedding. Yeah, the big wedding took place. Who wants to be in New York City on the Friday of 4th of July weekend in black tie when it's 102? No thing. Well, at least they were inside. Here's a toast. Here's a toaster. I'm staying home. I know there was a lot of PR grief at the amount of money spent. I don't know what it came to. I know they gave $26 million to charities alone. Dolly got $2 million. for her book charity. But I can't even imagine. I mean, I, I insisted on an open bar and I don't even drink. And, you know, I'll never forget, Andrew and I were having an argument before the wedding. And I'm like, born again, doesn't drink. Born again, doesn't drink. Of course, everybody backslid at my wedding. And so I got up and I got slapped with a $9,000 bar tab after my wedding. And I thought that was bad. I can't even imagine. You know they were all comping it, though. Every one of those, oh, they all want, wouldn't you supply the liquor to be known as, oh, we're the vodka from Taylor Swift's wedding and all that stuff. I'm sure they were sleeping over each other. Well, they had nice little, you know, it was like going to the Oscars. They had a little gift bag, too, that they got. Right. And George Clooney, he owns a tequila company. I'm sure he was saying, you need a truckload, not a problem. Yeah. So, do we have a total of what this wedding cost them between their charitable donations and they actual cost the wedding? I haven't seen any numbers. You know, we haven't gotten many details. There are NDAs still surrounding this, so they can't say much about what they saw. Yeah, we still haven't gotten a whole lot of details. Or figured out why Adams Sandler was involved. And actually married them. Yeah, married them. Well, I guess they had the ceremony before. So there was an intimate thing before. Then they did the thing with Adam Sandler and then they read their vows to each other. later in front of everyone. Well, this better lasts forever because it's going to take that long to pay it off. Rory's going to be back in the third. Wait to the baby. Oh, I hadn't even thought of that. They're going to have a kid. Oh, U.S. takes on Belgian World Cup. This is to get to the quarterfinals tonight against Belgium. Rory has the story when he comes back in the third hour. All right, can't have your morning show without your voice. I'm going to go to the order in which they came. I don't believe it's Roy Rogers. It must be Roy and Roger. Let's start with Roy. Michael, the show Friday was great, excellent interviews, but I don't know how you could call it a best of. There was no Big John, no Donna, no Mary, no Jimmy suits, no Joey. You're missing all the best part of the show. What's the last thing I said to you before I left Friday? You said, pick the best you can find. No, I did not. I said, you should be mixing in these callers in the bestubs too. And you said, well, I try, but.

You're going to throw me under the bus like that? No, but I'm just saying there's a confirmation from Roy that we should do that in the next best of. Red picked everything. Well, no, but I didn't even say it for that reason. I said it for the reason. We had some beautiful America birthday greetings from you, the listeners. I mean, very eloquent, very beautiful. And I thought, and it was too late, we had to already send it to Los Angeles. But I thought, wouldn't it have been neat to have those in the best up? Because every day Roy's right, you are. Have those for next time. You are the best of your morning show. Roger in Sacramento, California. Sacramento, California. Isn't it a great start in your 251? I was able to celebrate with several hundred people over the fourth. And some people were concerned about how few people were into the 250 or not. And I said, I don't care. I know I am. As far as Zohran Mamdani, pulling out color of who built the country or not. I'm a white guy that work with a lot of brown and black guys over the years. And we built a lot of stuff even since the people who started us. Yeah, I think, you know, it's all anecdotal, right? Roger, that was your take. That was my take. Everybody I knows take. I don't think anybody was wanting to hear what the far left. I don't think anybody noticed while they were doing it. They might be catching it this morning. what Clinton and Obama did or what Axios did or what Zohran Mamdani did in New York. But all these anti-American messages, it was really poor-timed. I think most people were focused on celebrating America, freedom and family and traditions. Youngstown, Ohio. Looking at a beautiful sunrise. Only one person can create that. And thankfully, he's on our side. Amen. Amen. This is the day. I have a friend who read Matt who sends a positive message of the day and it was I'm going to paraphrase it although I might accidentally hit it exactly but it was something in the fact of focus today on your yesterday prayers that are now reality we need to do that more in life we just move on to the next prayer But yeah, God is all around us in his creation. He's all around us. Every sunrise, every sunset, every rain, every thunder. And he's certainly front and center in a republic. Tom gets the final sec.

Yeah, Michael, I noticed that Fox News had Wes Moore on there, trying to sound like a moderate. But at the same time, he spoke about the big tent, and he would not condemn the communist socialist, Islamist, of the far left. He's putting his name out there. Yeah. You know, we joke and call it Nostradel Giorno. It really isn't. I always use the Joel Rosenberg analogy. Joel used to write. fiction novels and they would all come true by the time they'd print the novel and then he got this reputation of being somewhat of a prophet and novelist because he'd write about something then it would happen in the news and he finally just wrote a nonfiction explanation which is called epicenter and it basically lays out if you look at life through a biblical lens through a historic lens accurate history and a geopolitical lens you can pretty much see what's coming I know what the Democrat Party did in 2016. I know what it did in 2020. I know what it did in 2024. And I have a pretty good idea what they're going to do in 2028. And so you know a bait and switch is coming. You know there's going to be a socialist frontrunner. It's not going to be Bernie this time because he passed the torch to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So therefore it's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And she'll get off to a lead and they'll have to do something to silence the voters. So people always say, well, you can't have Josh Shapiro because he's Jewish. Well, they're not going to give the people in the Democrat Party assay. They're going to rig it. Now, I actually think they're going to choose Rahm Emanuel over Josh Shapiro, unless Josh Shapiro makes a great run in the primary, a sensible run in the primary. But yeah, Moore's out there. He's their next Barack Obama. And if they go with someone who is going to center the party and be the sensible person in a socialist extremist run, you might want to put them with somebody that in a general election could still attract the left. And that would be Wes Moore. And that's why I arrived at the fixed ticket of Rahm Emanuel and Wes Moore. But yeah, don't be surprised when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez runs. And don't be surprised when she gets off to an early lead. And don't be surprised when the DNC rigs it again like they did before. And it's not because I'm Nostradale Journal. And it's not because I'm a big profit. It's because I keep my eye with three lenses on what they've done. And they will do it again. They're going to run the trap sweep. And they're going to run it until you stop it. Now, they do have the problem of their parties in an all-out war now. It's not a cold war between the socialists and the progressives. It's an all-out war. And you saw that even on the fourth with Zohran Mamdani. And you saw even with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the cheap shots and the democracy threat narrative. And you certainly see it in Axios. But that party, it really faces extinction. And I always use the... the analogy of the parasite. The parasite attacks the host. If it loses, the host gets better. If it wins, the host dies, but the parasite dies with it. And that's what will happen. If the Democrats, if the Socialists win, the Democrat Party will die, and the Socialists will die with it. And if the Democrats in the next three months and the two years following defeat socialism, it'll go back to its progressive norm.

It's really not prophecy. It's really not that hard to decipher. In a sense, it's really kind of pathetic. Keep those talkbacks coming. Of course, you can always email Michael DiediartMedia.com as well. This is your morning show with Michael Del Chon. Here's what everybody needs to know. President Trump is going to host officials from the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ at the Oval Office. This to launch his new investment accounts for children, and then it's off to Turkey for a NATO summit. The summit kicks off Tuesday in Ankara, where European leaders are bracing for a future in which the U.S. plays a smaller role in security and defense. Member states last year committed to spending 5% of their GDP on defense by 2035. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is also expected to be in focus. President Trump is scheduled to meet Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the summit. I'm Mark Mefield. Huge crowds are mourning Iran's supreme leader for a second day. No, not the son. This is dad who died four months ago. Lisa Cardin reports. Tens of thousands flooded the streets of Tehran on Sunday, wailing and chanting with some calling for revenge. Even larger crowds are expected Monday when Ayatollah Khomeini's casket will be taken on a procession through the streets of the capital city. Iran is holding a six-day state funeral ahead of his burial on July 9th. The ceremonies are being held nearly four months after he was killed in a U.S. Israeli airstrikes. Meantime, peace talks between the U.S. and Iran are set to... resume after the funeral. I'm Lisa Carton. A star for the U.S. men's national team will play tonight after all against Belgium. Apparently, that came after a call from the Oval Office. Reportedly, President Trump picked up the phone and called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to lobby on behalf of Florin Balligan. President Trump is called Infantino a great leader in sports and a friend. That friendship must run deep because Balligan will play following a red card during the second half of the United States victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which led to his one-match suspension. Trump praised Sunday's decision in a social media post. The U.S. is now looking to move on to the World Cup quarterfinal round for the first time since 2002. I'm Rob Martier. Well, Natalie Parton is giving a big thank you to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. For their donation to her imagination library, Swift and Kelsey donated $2 million to Pardon's organization that provides free books for children. Pardon posted a thank you video on Instagram on Friday, just hours before the couple tied the knot in New York City. In it? The country icon told Swift and Kelsey that she has blown away and overjoyed with gratitude. Swift and Kelsey donated $26 million to various charities ahead of their wedding. Well, we experienced the longest day of the year in June and the most sunshine in any day. Now we're losing it and there's nothing we can do about it.

Brie Tennis has more. NASA says it's all about the Earth's tilt. As our planet orbits the sun, our daylight hours reduce. By the time we hit the winter solstice on December 21st, we'll have less than 10 hours of sunshine. That's more than a four-hour loss of daylight from summer to do stuff outside. Unless you're Superman who has the power to change the Earth's tilt, there's nothing we can do about it. So get outside and enjoy what we have before it goes away. I'm Bree Tennis. Apologize for that cough, Bree! Hey, everybody's John Ford Coley of England, Dan, and John Ford Coley, and my morning show is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.

We're going to go all the way to Turkey at 35 minutes after the hour. The president today will host officials from the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ in the Oval Office, this to help celebrate and promote the launch of his new investment account for children. And then it's on to Turkey where he'll join John Decker and others for the NATO Summit. Good morning, John. Hey, good morning. Yes, I arrived in Ankara. That's the capital of Turkey A, as it's called here. And the president will arrive tomorrow. The president is a person who's put a lot of pressure on America's NATO allies to do more. He feels they're not stepping up, not pulling their fair share, not pulling their weight. And so that's going to be one of the focus points of this summit here in Ankara over the course of the next few days. Now, does the president still feel that way? I mean, I know with the Iran conflict, it's been more Arab and Muslim nations, especially with oil supply that have come to the rescue and alienating Iran. But is this concerning Russia, Ukraine, or in general, because a lot of them have been doing better at paying their fair share?

A lot of them have indeed stepped up. Initially, the goal was 3.5% last year at the last NATO summit, which I attended with the president in the Netherlands. That number was pushed up to 5% that every country must spend of their GDP on military, on defense. And so countries are indeed meeting that first 3.5% threshold. Some countries doing a little better than others. Some countries... Not doing it. I'll give you an example. Spain, the president's called out Spain on a number of occasions. And I would not be surprised if he does so publicly at the summit here, which the president will arrive tomorrow. John Durkey, I mean John Derke in Turkey covering the president. When did they start calling it Turkey, by the way? And what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to say Turkey or Turkey? You know, I think what you ought to do is take your cues from the president of the United States. See how he pronounces it. Because one of his best allies in the NATO alliance, the person who he gets along well with as far as a counterpart, is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. And let's hear what the president says and how he says it. You know, for me, I'm going with the pronunciation that they use here in Turkey A. And that's what I'm going to do while. I'm here and, you know, maybe when I'm back in the States, I'll use the pronunciation that most people are familiar with. Yeah, Turkey. So we know what the president's concern is with NATO. What is NATO's concerns for the world right now? What will be their agenda narrative? Their agenda is making certain that the president is all on board, continuing to support Ukraine. In fact, there's going to be an agreement from every one of the 32 members of the NATO Defense Alliance to continue supporting Ukraine militarily, committing to a significant amount of funds being spent. to help Ukraine out in its war against Ukraine now in its fourth year. Hard to believe that started in February of 22, that full-scale invasion by Russia into Ukraine's sovereign territory. John will have more from Turkey during his White House briefing room podcast. You can catch that 8th, Central, 9 Eastern. And by the way, if you just search it into your iHeart app, it'll pop right up. Give it a program position that way it's waiting for you every morning. Thanks for reporting. And we'll talk to you from Turkey tomorrow. I look forward to it. Thanks so much, Michael. I appreciate it. It is a beautiful place. And I'll give you more information about it when we speak tomorrow for sure. You got it. I know you're very busy. And Turkey, or as we would say, Turkey. We went through that with... biopic or biopic um i think it's technically biopic but everybody says biopic and then you're left with well what do you do what everybody says or you know and i'm i would be more like john you know if i'm in turkey and they prefer turkey i would probably say turkey but when you're back home everybody still says turkey i will say this significant um i you know a lot of people bring up obamacare which you know

was designed to fail, and it did fail. If you could get beyond partisan lenses, it was never a success. Now it's officially a failure, and the Republicans have since allowed everything to expire, and enrollment is way down. Now, is it down because of fraud? That's what they'll try to sell you. Or is it down because it just never made sense? It didn't do what it was supposed to do, which was make. everyone be insured because most people who aren't insured chose not to be. That's number one. Number two, it did not bring down premiums. It raised them and it did not increase access to health care. So it failed on every measure on the scoreboard. I thought the most significant damaging thing that Barack Obama did was damage our relations with Turkey. And for those that look through three different lenses, that's a key lens in the Gog and Magog picture. So, yeah, I've got my eye on this NATO summit, not just for what Trump continues to press them on, what they continue to press the world on, but also where it's being hosted, Turkey. Can't have your morning show without your voice, some late comers that I didn't get a chance to get in. This is Blaine listening in Ames, Iowa. Hey, speaking of drone shows, too bad they didn't have one over on top of Tehran. But we can't do that sort of thing. Young Washington is a pretty good movie. I had a person of, I'm not sure where she came from during a parade, I was handing out flags, and she looked at me like I was a Martian. She didn't know what the flag was for or she didn't know why we were in the row of vehicles with flags all over them. She looked at me as if I was from Mars. Well, my daughters have that look on their face. They're in London right now. And they're wondering why on all the government buildings there's gay flags. And they've yet to see a British flag on top of any of these buildings. Now, I know they're coming off of Gay Pride Month in June. Maybe they haven't changed the flags yet, but they're just astonished. Yeah, it's America's 250th birthday. You would think the flag would be something normal to be carrying around. I guess there are two Americas after all. All right, Youngstown, Ohio. Michael, don't forget about the doctor's scarf lady that stood by and agreed with everything that went on. And then she went away and nobody's heard from her since. Yes, that's a reference to a story we did in our platinum hour, our first hour, and it's a Rasmussen poll. America tragically didn't have anyone to trust from their president to their president's counsel, to their head of virology, to their COVID response coordinator, to the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, to their local doctor, let alone the CDC or the World Health Organization in between. And you had to do a lot of digging. I will tell you this. I remember it like it was yesterday thinking, okay, I have disproved and none of this makes sense. And yet every commercial saying it, the president's saying it. These virologists are saying it. I must be missing something. I must be crazy. I'm going to destroy my radio career. Add to that, I didn't feel very welcomed by the company I worked for if I continued to question.

So I was thinking, I must be nuts. I must be missing something. I'm going to get fired and I'm going to have no credibility of the rest of my career. Well, as it turns out, everyone was wrong and I was right. I say aye. David Zanati walked with me. A great doctor walked with us. But I told the personal story. I remember thinking, okay. They're making a lot of assumptions. And if they're doing this on data, where's the data? So I went to the University of Washington to find the data and I couldn't find any data. And I remember thinking they couldn't possibly have data. They couldn't even have data from Italy yet. So what were the assumptions? And then I searched for the assumptions and I couldn't find those either. So where are they coming up with all this information and all these actions? And people will say, well, you know, this is what the doctors were saying. We had to trust him. This is what the media was saying. We had to trust him. This is what the president was saying. We had to trust it. No, we didn't. Now, I wasn't off into the wild, wild matrix of conspiracy theories. I was just looking for real answers. Because virology 101 is you get it, you get better, you're immune, or you get it, and you die. Or you get it and you nearly die and then you get better in your immune. But this whole notion of quarantining the healthy, not the sick, turning off the government and making everybody stay home, the economy just gets shut down. Or how about the slogan itself? Stay home. Stay safe. This is the new normal. Well, it didn't take long before I figured out, well, this is like global warming on steroids. And they finally found something America was afraid of and would obey and that they could control. That's all unwound since. But remember how when it first started? Stay home. Stay safe. This is the new normal. Dr. Anthony Fauci was just presented as the God of all wisdom. And then she brings up, oh, don't forget the lady with the scarf. Well, that's Dr. Deborah Birx. And if you're wondering what happened to Dr. Deborah Burke, she just disappeared, right? Well, following her role as the response coordinator for the White House under Mike Pence, the vice president who was put in charge of COVID response, don't forget this president that everyone loves and worships or fears and hates. He's the one that sold you the vaccine. He's the one that shut down the economy. People forget that. Oh, well, he was duped. He was trusting the doctors. Yeah, like the Americans that were duped. But you didn't have to be duped. And somebody should have got this in real time. She went on to be the chief scientific and medical advisor for active pure technology, an air cleaning company. She also wrote a book, the untold story of the Trump administration, COVID-19, and preventing the next pandemic. So she cashed it corporately and wrote a book. Anthony Fauci, who knows what lies ahead for him? If he gets what he deserves, well, you'll know the role he played. And gain of function research at the very lab where it leaked.

I could play you a Milken Institute symposium where Anthony Fauci's there with all these scientists from around the world. And they're like, well, this MRNA technology is really incredible. But, you know, we've got 10 years of trials. Yeah, those pesky trials because you wouldn't want to kill somebody. And it'd be billions and billions of dollars. If there was just a way we could get it out immediately. And one of the scientists chimes in. But what if we had a world emergency? Then we could rush it. You know, let's say one of these viruses leaked from, and he even says, from one of the laboratories in China. And then we have a worldwide pandemic and crisis. Then we could get around the 10 years. Then we could get around the billions in trials. You won't believe your eyes. And it's still out there to Google and search and watch. We were watching it then, though. That's when America needed to be paying attention. But Rasmussen did a study. 45% of American adults consider it likely that the COVID-19 pandemic was part of a secret plan by global elites to reduce world population. Well, at the heart of global warming is Agenda 21. Now, the goal was a one-world government. And the problem with a one-world government is, what do you do with economic and military superpowers? They won't comply. And the biggest problem is America. They actually believe in God and family and then country and self-governance. But at the root of it is population control. And you mix that in with all the lies, with all the conspiracy theories, and does the truth ever get arrived at? And in the Matrix, you can't even get through this Rasmussen study. 48% of Americans believe the vaccines were necessary and effective. Suspitions about the origins of the virus tend to parallel skepticism towards COVID-19 vaccines. For example, those who consider it very likely that the pandemic was part of a secret plan to reduce worldwide population, 66% believe COVID-19 vaccines were promoted to help big pharma. And of course, it's partisan. 59% of Republicans think it was big pharma conspiracy, 65% of Democrats think they were necessary. I still see people walking around wearing masks. And nine out of ten times it's an Asian. I'm wondering what's going on with that. So I don't know what you heard, what you believed, what you didn't believe, but somewhere in the midst of all of this is the truth. The truth about gain of function, the truth about Anthony Fauci, the truth about the agendas, both for big pharma and for research and economic windfalls that came from rushing it to the vaccine itself. It's funny, you watch the movie.

Oh man, how am I blank on the name now? Outbreak? No, the other one. Matt Damon. How can I forget it? It's all I watch. Contagion. Contagion. You watch the movie Contagion. It's like watching, and it came out before 9-11, before COVID. Facility or whatever his little thing was, was the Ivermectin. I mean, it had everything. Just like when you watch executive decision. That's 9-11. I mean, I could never get around. The 9-11 commission's conclusion was failure of imagination. Are you kidding me? When Hollywood made the movie years before 9-11? When the intelligence all pointed towards it. But again, the ultimate shame to that caller, I would say, yeah, I did not forget Dr. Birx. And I know where she went. But, I mean, Berks kind of falls under Mike Pence and Donald Trump. They were just the government people in charge. They all made the mistake of trusting Anthony Fauci. Who was the Dr. Evil in the mix? But it's amazing how it's still going through the Matrix. I don't know how much wiser America is six years later. But the tragedy was they couldn't get it in real time. I can tell you, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I don't trust doctors anymore because they all followed it. I knew more than the doctors. I don't think I'll ever trust the CDC or the World Health Organization again. They might as well change their name and start over. And I'm in awe of how you forget the role that Donald Trump played in all this. All be it duped. He should have surrounded himself with people that weren't duped. including our governor, who I helped get elected. That may have even cost me a friendship. Our founders believe that freedom wasn't just a word. It was a way of life. Freedom to move forward. Freedom to pursue matters that matter most. Freedom to fully live.

It's your morning show with Michael Deljourno. Here's Dallas, listening to WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee.

I just heard the top five stories, and holy cow, four months later, they're finally getting around to bury this poor guy. Man, I can only imagine how they have preserved his body all this time. I mean, there's no way that that funeral's not smelling like either rotten or from out of the hide. No, you might think, wow, Dallas is being completely inappropriate. No, he's being very logical. From a common sense point of view. There's several questions, right? This is Donald Trump's great failure, the Iran war. It's just talking point narrative that Iran is no longer a nuclear threat or their air force is destroyed. This was a huge mistake, a huge failure. And yet they're saying they couldn't bury the Supreme Ayatollah because of war conditions. And the body is ritually wrapped and washed and must be buried as soon as possible. And he's a spiritual leader. And here it is four months later. Dallas is asking the right questions. We're all in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.
