But as we always say, better late than never, thanks for joining us for the podcast. Good morning, Americans. It's Friday. One, two, three. Starting your morning off right? A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Because we're in this together. This is your morning show. with Michael Del Turner. So it only took us two hours to start this Friday morning off without a hitch. The USS Abraham Lincoln is being relieved in the Middle East, but it's got a long journey home to San Diego. President Trump traveling to South Carolina to campaign for Republican Senator Darlene Graham. Bernie Sanders going out on a limb endorsing Angie Nixon. Down in Florida in that Senate race and The Odyssey has become the highest grossing our rated movie.

of all time. Eight minutes after the hour on this Friday, August the 21st, suffer not, my president. Hail to the chief. I look forward all week to saying hail to the chief. He's the one we all say hail to. Mr. President, good morning. Well, I have to say good morning to you, and you're a very nice person sometimes. Sometimes you're not a nice person. You know, when you cut me off, you do a lot. But you're a great guy. Your ratings are great. Excuse me, your ratings are great. And it's Friday, so your ratings are even better than normal. But we hope you're having a great time. You know, they say it's not delivery. It's still doing, all right? You're a tremendous person. Oh, I appreciate your time. All right, so pretty big mark we hit this week. $40 trillion of national debt. I did do a little math. 7.8 trillion in your first term and 3.8 trillion so far in your second term. I mean, 11.5 trillion of that 40 is you. Do you feel a sense of responsibility? Well, now, first of all, what a stupid question. You should be working for CNN. You should be working for CNN.

But we've taken over the Strait of Wormuz. We've taken it over. It's ours. It's a new U.S. territory. It's called the Strait of America. And Iran is not very happy about it. Iran is not very happy about it. But I wouldn't be happy about it either. But we're going to crush them economically, and we want South Korea. We want them to play ball. And right now they don't want to play ball. So we're going to stop the war games that we're going to meet with. Jim Jong-un, who's a very nice guy. He's a nice guy to me. He used to not be nice to me. Then I called him short and fat, and he started being nice to me. And we met at the demilitarized zone, who was a tremendous thing. I remember that. He's a nice guy to me, little rocket man. And, you know, he's... testing the rockets again. We don't want them to do that. We want them to get rid of the nuclear weapon, but we'll see what we can do. But South Korea needs to play ball, or they're going to have problems, and nobody wants to have problems. You don't want to have problems. That's why you walk back to that debt question. They don't want to have problems either. I mean, I didn't walk it back with $11.6 trillion of the 40. But what I was going to say is, if you don't call it the straight of America, you could call it the straight of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center. Well, we could do that too because my name's going back on that big beautiful building. You know, they rules that it could happen. And even if they don't want it to happen, we would have to do it. You know, there's a great way to do it. We could hire Antifa. We could hire Antifa. They could do a little graffiti since they're not illegal anymore, right? They love doing that. They do. They do. They just talk to. And we could hire them to paint my name on the building. It would be a beautiful idea. But now it's going to be great. The straight of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center, the straight of America, the straight of Trump, the straight of MAGA. The straight of pizza boy, if you want a little piece of the action. I think about it. I think a little piece. I was just trying to get yelled at. I was just making a funny. All right. Friday with 47. What do you make of Angie Nixon? Her Senate victory in Florida, this is quite a candidate. Well, I think she's a stupid person. I think she's a crazy person. You look at her. She's a crazy person. She beat another stupid person in the primary. Alexander Vindman, remember him? You liked him. He testified, no, we don't like him at all. First of all, he's an ugly person. He has an ugly twin brother. Very hard to look at. Very hard to look at. You look at him. You look at him. You can develop what's called at your for you disease. What I look at you? That's it. Because you don't want to look directly at him. Think about it. It's a horrible thing. You know who has that, by the way? Angel Rees, remember Angel Reese? He's the worst basketball player in the history of humanity. And she had at your foyer. That's why she can't hit the basket, right? She shoots the ball or another zip card. Sophie Cunningham is tremendous, by the way. I taught her out of play. Caitlin Clark is tremendous. I taught her out of play. Donna is tremendous. She's going to be the WNBA MVP. But, no, you look at Angie Nixon, you look at Vindman, he smoked him. He got smoked by a lunatic because he's a lunatic, but nobody likes him. There are people who like Angie. I don't know why, because she's absolutely stupid and crazy. Everybody thinks, everybody thinks. Excuse me. She wants to abolish the police. She wants to abolish the police. She wants to get rid of the border.

You want socialism. We're not going to let it happen. The commies and the socialist, we're not going to let it happen. But you have to be a really bad candidate like Alexander Vindman to lose to Angie Nixon. And he did. And now you have a crazy person running in Florida. Well, I was just going to say you're running for the United States Senate on a platform to get rid of the United States Senate. That's how insane all of this is. You're talking about Donna. Why couldn't Donna like pitch in Little League in the Little League World Series and help us, you know, win it all? Well, I have to say pizza boy, first of all, Donna has a cannon. She has a cannon for an arm. She throws hard. She throws very hard. But you look at the velocity, it's way up. Even in heels? She can plant that foot. You know what she got? It's called instead of Tommy John surgery, Donnie John surgery, Donald John Trump. She got Donnie John and she throws very hard. You call Tommy John Bobby, right? Excuse me. No, we would never do. Why would we do that? That's a stupid thing to say. You're open to today. You're open to today. You're very stupid. Happy days. And now he's playing more music. Now he's playing more music. I don't know why I wanted to aggravate you today. Isn't that terrible? I have to ask you a question. Excuse me, let me ask you a question. Who sings that song? Happy days you're here. Who sings that? That, Glenn Miller Band? And then I don't remember who the singers were. Well, I have a suggestion. I have a suggestion. Let's keep it that way, okay? You don't need to keep singing that. Okay? That's a good life. That's a tremendous thing to do. That's like your own show business? No, get your feet off the stage. Excuse me. Look at Donna. You brought up Donna. I did. I love that. The next president, the express secretary and the NACWNBA. The next WNBA MVP. She's doing a great job. The next president. She's doing a great job. She might even be the next pitcher in the Little League, but she throws too hard for the Little League. She does a great job. And she's doing also a great job with the straight and foremost. You know, we're moving so much oil, more oil than flows from Chris Christie after Taco Bell. You understand what I'm talking about, okay? Our White House correspondent John Decker wants to know if you're going to be heading to Alaska to help Dan Sullivan finish that. Senate run and I think what you're really wanting is another nice long flight on the new plane. How is the new plane? I'm jealous. Does it have a new plane smell? Well, the new plane, the new plane is tremendous. You know, we're going to stick you on the old plane as a decoy because you're asking very stupid questions today. You're going to be with Kaitlan Collins and CNN, Dylan Mulvaney. But Alaska's great. I get along very well with Alaska.

I got along very well with the Eskimos. They say to me, sir, we need an igloo, sir. I built the biggest and most beautiful igloo out of solid gold with my own two hands. I had the greatest igloo in the history of the world. I get along well with the polar bears, including the one that drinks Coca-Cola. We have a great relationship, and he drinks Diet Coke. Now, I thought he had to drink Diet Coke. The Polo Bear was getting too fat. I said, you need to drink Diet Coke. And so I get along very well with Alaska. I got a long world with the king crab. You know, you look at the king crab, the fisherman. Deadly is cast. They do a tremendous job, too. But nobody catches more crabs than I do. I caught a lot. You know, you look at what we're doing in the Bering Sea. You look at Alaska. You look at Dan Sullivan. There's only one. There's two Dan Sullivan's. One's the real guy. One's a faker. And we've got to get the faker the hell out of here. We're going to feed the faker to a polar bear if he's not. Careful. You know, you have to watch that. Do you think that drinking too much Diet Coke is what led to the Golden Tipi? Well, I think what's drinking too much diet, there's no six things, too much Diet Coke. I drink a lot of Diet Coke, you know that? And so it's, I have a Diet Coke button. I press it. It comes down on demand. You don't think that was a dumb question? No, I don't think that was a stupid question. I don't think it's a beautiful question because I drink a lot of Diet Coke. I think I drink a lot of Diet Coke. And we are very healthy because of it. That much I can tell you. And that does it for our time with Donna. I mean 47. Thank you so much, Mr. President. And thanks for letting me play along. I just want to see if you would yell at me. Well, God bless you. And you better come with better questions next time. And we're going to be coming with a bomb. And you don't want to deal with that. Don. has a cannon for an arm. I never stopped learning. Friday with 47, ladies and gentlemen, 19 minutes after the hour. When it comes to supplements, there's only two things that matter most. Does it work and can you trust it?

This is your morning show with Michael Del Chorno. Well, President Trump's going to play a big role this weekend in Sunday's Freedom 250 Indycar event on the streets of our nation's capital. Tammy Trujillo has more. Organizers held an event at the Cannon House office building on Thursday to unveil the 75-pound trophy that will be awarded to the winner. The president will reportedly do an honor lap around the course before the race and will wave the green flag for the start. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is also scheduled to wave the checkered flag. I'm Tammy Trujillo. The White House has announced new sanctions against Cuba. It's part of President Trump's pressure campaign against Havana. The latest round of sanctions by the Trump administration are aimed at leaders of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, which Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims exploits educational exchange in order, he says, to radicalize subversives. Marco Rubio says in a statement, the Trump administration will not stand by while a hostile foreign power seeks to exploit our freedoms. I'm Scott Carr. Apple Music rolling out a new label after this year to battle against AI-generated songs. More from Matt Matanson. The music platform announced Thursday it will start putting a made-with-AI label to those released tracks. The service said that record labels and distributors will be required to tag songs in which a material portion of the content was created with AI. The announcement follows Spotify's newly announced AI persona label, as well as titles decision to label AI songs and ban them from earning royalties. It's unclear when the new labels will begin to appear on Apple Music. I'm at Mattinson. As Waymo waits for approval on its expansion across 18 counties in the state of California, there are things you should refrain from doing once you're in these vehicles. Bree Tennis has more. According to Waymo, most people who order a car just sit back for the duration. But there's always a group of people who live on the edge. The company says people have been noted to drink alcohol, flee crime scenes, sleep, smoke various substances, even get busy during rides. Before the company expands service, know that even though there isn't a driver on board, there are internal cameras and sensors, and the car's cabin is... monitored. I'm Bree Dennis. And sports, Roy McElroy. That's my guy. One of five sharing the lead heading into round two of the BMW championship in St. Louis. NFL preseason action last night, 49ers, 4117 over the Chargers. Radis. All in the second half, 2220 over the Texans. Baseball, Cardinals beat the Reds 10 to 9. Guardians over the Giants 5 to 2. Rays lost 5.1 to the Blue Jays. Aes fell 6-2 in Kansas City and the Angels pounded the Astros 18 to 3.

Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on great radio stations across the country like 105-9-1250, WHNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio 570, WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio 1,000, KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to us live in the morning, and of course, we're so grateful you came for the podcast.

Enjoy. Good morning and welcome to Friday, August the 21st year of our Lord, 26 on the air, streaming live on your iHeart radio app. This is the show that belongs to you. Your morning show, honored to serve you. I'm Michael. I got to tell you, I'm a little distracted. Can you do me a favor? I know we've documented how much Woody, Red, and Roger sound alike. Okay. Am I the only one? And I know. I have been with Steve's on. Is that me or does Gabe sound just like Steve's on? Give me Gabe first. And this is when he was in St. Louis. He now lives in Florida. But here's Gabe. This is Gabriel in St. Louis. And you're listening to your morning show with Michael Del Jorna. All right. Now give me Steve Zahn, the actor. Hey there, this is Steve Zon. You know what? My morning show is your morning show. Isn't that scary? How close. Very close. See, I have a great ear for voices. It freaks my wife out. But, like, I can tell her, like, there's actors that are not as obvious doing voiceover work. They do over half of all the voiceover work. Makes good sense. They know how to deliver. lines. And I can hear it clearly. And she goes, how do you know that's? And, you know, of course it's them. That's what we do. Yeah. So, but I, I just, every, I just, we played Gabe. And I was like, man, that sounds like Steve. It does. Gabe, you could have made a lot more money with that voice. AI either scares the snout out of you or you're just beginning to understand it and you're filled with excitement. There's really not a lot of them between. For me, never been scared. I kind of know where it's all leading and the loss of critical thinking and thought that could come along with it. I mean, just like everything, it opens up a Pandora's box. But by and large, I'm not one of those that is fearful as much as see it as a tool. This is the first thing that's ever scared me. So it was one of these like Facebook prompts and it says, hey, I just did this. It blew me away. Type in, ask AI. Describe me like you're about to warn someone who's about to meet me. And I thought, and my first thought was, how does AI know who I am without me giving my name? AI didn't just give you. The most amazing description I've ever heard of me. I mean, it's frightening. So I type in, describe me like you're about to warn someone who's going to meet me. And the AI responds, okay, fair warning. You're about to meet someone who is curious, intense, direct. and not particularly interested in staying on the surface. That is the most frightening, frighteningly accurate description of me I've ever heard. I might have stopped it curious because that I know. I'll never forget. I was driving home one day. This would give me an idea of how curious I am. I'm driving home and Gordon Lightfoot comes on and it's the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

By the time I get home after singing the entire song, I get on Google. I start on a rabbit hole. I want to learn everything about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Everything about where it left, where it was headed, where it went down, how close it was to safety, who all perished, what it looked like. It's just who I am. And I stay curious. I guess I'm... I don't think I'm intense. Do you? I think if anything, I was with my high school buddy yesterday who said, you know, the thing you and Keith and Keith taught me was not to take life so seriously that you can be a smart aleck. I don't find me intense, do you? I find you. You can be intense at times. Yeah. Yeah. When we're in the heat of the battle, absolutely. And then direct, I view it as, you know, me and Nick were famous for not having filters. So I guess that would fall under direct. And no, I'm not interested in surface things. If I spend time with you, I don't want to have small talk. Life's too important. It's too interesting. We're supposed to be here to build each other up. I want to get to the heart of things. I don't want to have small talk. I don't want you to be sitting there having a conversation with me and your life's in some kind of crisis that I may be equipped to help. I know I'm equipped to care, and I know I'm equipped to love and support. I mean, it was a really, and so then it doesn't even stop there. It goes on, scary enough. I mean, you ask questions the way some people cross-examine a witness. If something doesn't make sense, you just keep digging. I mean, think about that with COVID. Stay home, stay safe. This is the new normal.

That's what the White House said. That's what every commercial was saying, every medical expert. I was like, what? Since when is that, since when is a virus, a new normal? What? If you get it, you'll die? Where's that coming from? And I start down the curious rabbit hole. And I end up at the University of Washington that they're all quoting. And I know they don't have data yet because we didn't even have all the information from Europe yet, let alone America where it was just beginning. And I'm like, well, I know in research, if you don't have data, you're putting an assumptions. So what are the assumptions? And I could get nowhere. And I'm thinking, how does AI know this about me? You're comfortable challenging an answer, changing your mind when facts warranted. And then asking the next question before most people have finished answering the first one. If you held David Zanati, strapped his hands in a chair and put a gun to his head, that would be the trait about me, he would first say. I'm asking. The next question before most people have finished answering the first. I mean, this is scary. By the way, none of this is bragging. It's just me. How does AI know this? Have you Googled you lately? But how does it? So what do you mean? Google me. Like, I know it's skimming. Yeah. There's all kinds of information about you out there. It says you have a strong. Wait a minute. Here's Steve the wrestler. Hang on. No small talk when spending time together. I can confirm that. Oh, we've had small talk. I was curious about wrestling. You also have a strong independence streak. You don't automatically accept the conventional explanation, whether the subject is politics, religion, muddy, medicine, or business. Or even how something actually works. You want to know why. Oh, my gosh, my son takes after me. And as a child, it drove me crazy. My son never was what, what, what. It was always why, why, why. You know there's no end to why. So you got to put your shoes on. Why? Well, because we can't leave for the baseball game until the shoes are on. Why? I mean, everything was a why. You can be blunt, very blunt. If you think someone is dancing around an issue, you'll let them know. See, Marsha Blackburn. You're also more sentimental than initially let on. Family matters a lot to you. Matters most. You can spend plenty of time talking about politics, money, sports, or business, but underneath all of it, as someone who thinks seriously about responsibility, providing for people, loyalty, faith, and what happens to the people you care about. Here's what I would warn people that meet you the most. Don't mistake your questioning for indecision. You often ask multiple angles because you want a pressure test an idea. Once you've decided what you believe, you're not especially easy to move. Also, you don't give a five-minute answer when a 30-second straight answer will do. Well, sometimes I have to do that's all the time. But isn't that scary? That's, I mean, that's pretty accurate. I should have one of you. Well, all of you at home, obviously, if you have chat.

GPT could do this. I'm just curious, is everybody that accurate? Or if you're somewhat of a public figure and it has more to skim? What was your exact question, Michael? You asked? Oh, um, exact question is, describe me like you're about to warn someone who's going to meet me. Mine says who is Jeff Lyon? No, it does. It will. Are you joke? I never know with you because you'll crack. I almost used your expression. Did you hear that? I almost said, because you'd like to crack wise. I'm cracking wise. We had a very serious discussion this morning in the platinum hour. Platinum, by the way, is the first hour. And we call it platinum because, hey, if you're on the West Coast, it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Those are serious people that are up that early to deal with people on the East Coast. Or even if you're in the central time zone and it's 5 a.m., that's people that get up early. These are the ones that are up making breakfast and lunch and a part of their children and their education and their daily routine or business movers and shakers or warriors that are up praying. I mean, I just love these early risers. And so we call them platinum card like a reference to American Express. Anyway, we talked a lot about 9-11. There's a very, there's only one story that really matters today. A woman, and this is new to have a woman radicalized online. 34-year-old woman tried to carry out a terrorist attack on the capital in Albany, New York, and in cahoots with terrorist organizations. So we started asking questions about the 25th anniversary. Look, here's what we know about shihadist Islamists. They are predictable to anniversaries. They are emboldened when they have a major victory. And they're emboldened by weakness and appeasement. That makes them act. Well, you have an Islamist, the mayor of the very city you attacked on an anniversary 25 years ago. You don't think something's likely to happen? Well, something almost just happened in New York. We had that conversation. I bring that up because we had so many. I'm thinking of the entrepreneur author we had on, I think it was Monday, talking about the 25th hour. That was a great interview. We had a couple of great segments with David Sinati. We had primary analysis with Chris Walker. Probably one of the more fascinating conversations this week was $40 trillion of debt through the eyes of an economist. David Guy Benson, a shameless plug for the podcast. It's going to be up. The whole week's up. Get bored this weekend. And if you missed a few days, catch up, especially on this morning's platinum hour. All right, everybody's talking about weight loss injections. You know, there's a good reason why they do. They work dramatically. I mean, they lower blood sugar. They reduce the appetite. Create a calorie deficit and it leads to weight loss. Now, it can lead to muscle loss. There's a lot of side effects you may not be interested in painful weekly injections you might be interested. Then what do you do? Well, that's why the doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created lean. And the results are equally remarkable.

The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower blood sugar, burn fat by converting it to energy, curb your appetite and craving so you're not as hungry, eat less calorie deficit weight loss without muscle loss when added to a healthy diet and exercise program. And you don't have to worry about what happens when you stop or painful weekly injections. But it's not just for somebody trying to lose a couple pounds before a wedding. This is for frustrated dieters trying to lose 10 or more pounds. Or as I like to say, and this is me, you've lost 30 and the next 10 won't budge.

It's your morning show with Michael Deljourno. USS Abraham Lincoln is being relieved of its duties in the Middle East, but it's a long journey home to San Diego. The president making the short journey to South Carolina to campaign for Darlene Graham. Severe storms are starting to rumble over 32 million people. Really from southern Connecticut all the way down to Virginia, which includes New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore in the line of those storms. And Roy McElroy is one of five heading into the lead of the second round of the BMW Championship in St. Louis. Good morning and welcome to Friday, August the 21st, 2026. This is your morning show. I'm Michael Del Turner. Well, the FBI has seized Eric Swalwell's devices, his iPhone, laptop, and others as sexual misconduct investigation. Now begins to escalate. Our national correspondent, Roy O'Neill, is here with the very latest on the investigation, what we think they're looking for and what comes next. Good morning, Roy. And good morning. And it's interesting to note that this is a federal action, seizing his phone and laptop while at the airport there in San Francisco. Typically a case of sexual assault. which is the allegation, would be handled by a state or a local prosecutor, but the feds are getting involved, which is raising some eyebrows about just what are they looking for. It's possible that perhaps Eric Swalwell is being investigated for allegedly using his official government position to deprive a person of their constitutional rights. Essentially, the idea being that if you were with a woman in a motel and... said, and she wants to leave and he said, no, well, then that perhaps could be translated into a federal crime. The other accusation, of course, relates to whether or not this is just the Justice Department going after President Trump's most vocal opponent when he was still in the House. But he's also got quite the checkered history when it comes to past relationships and whether or not this involves China and their spying operation. So it's a very murky picture this morning. Yeah, I mean, let me. just kind of unpack for everybody and more in an outline form so yes there was the affair

with what turns out to be a Chinese spy. So there's that to be dusted out. Yes, we have rape allegations, sexual abuse, multiple allegations. I think this speaks to a more pattern problem than he was a Democrat and a critic of the president. And then there's one third one that I wanted to dust out with you, and that is use. I mean, gosh, has this come up with Anthony Fauci over and over again, using government servers and so on. Is it possible these devices were, you know, accessing government sites or using government sites that also may fall south of the law as well? I think it's probably all the above, right? Well, right, and that's why there's so much speculation happening from our side of things. Now, Eric Swalwell has not been charged. His lawyers, of course, deny any wrongdoing here. But the fact that they went and stopped him at the airport to get his laptop and his phone, which, you know, that relationship with the Chinese spy, that one. goes back a while. So you'd have to assume there's nothing on the laptop or the phone related to that incident. They've been probably replaced many times since then. But these other women and some of the allegations that they have made, it's possible that there is some evidence that could be there on his phone that they want to look at in the pictures. Hard to chalk it up to just politics because, as you know, his political career is over and there's no sign of it ever resurrecting. Great reporting all week. What's coming up on the weekend dive? Oh gosh, we're going to talk now, this is real barn burner stuff. Get yourself, buckle up, seatbelts on. We're going to talk about the bond market. You know, it's boring as heck. But wow, did it get important this week when our federal debt hit that $40 trillion mark? I want to bring you back to a time, you know, we've been doing this forever. August is usually, I'm talking zero news cycle. I mean, you could have people take a month off and no one would notice. And the numbers, the ratings would reflect that. I mean, there just wasn't anything going on. That kind of stopped almost a decade ago. Roy, it could be a good sign that's coming back, right? Because I can tell you this month. And you know what? I used to always say, this is when you can tell the good talk shows from a bad talk showst if you can feel it. But I do think this is a time to have some serious conversations like we had today with AI and earlier with this terrorist attempt in New York and a 25th anniversary coming up for New York. But yeah, it is painfully. slow right now to the point where you could almost recommend people go find a good song you won't be missing but so yeah and i can't imagine trying to pull a weekend dive off but uh you can google search rory o'neill and the weekend dive it's on hundreds of iHeart stations but of course you can listen to it right on your i heart app and give it a program position he works very hard on it uh i won't be listening this weekend of course but i'm kidding have a great weekend we'll talk again on monday um listen um

I'm getting ready to go say goodbye to somebody who has been one of the most important people in my life. And I can tell you that there's nothing more precious than time. And when I say this every day, I mean it. We're going to only live Friday, August 21st, 2026 once. And for some of us, there may not be another day or another day with somebody. I'm telling you, it matters. You matter. Make it count. Love someone more than yourself. Make a difference in someone's life and cherish your own. Have the kind of weekend others merely dream of.
