President Biden labored on Labor Day alongside his vice president
(01:20):
Kamala Harris, campaigning with Union voters. Warm temperatures across the
country continuing, and then there's the big controversy over Donald
Trump going to Arlington and did Kamala Harris and President
Biden get invited just as former President Donald Trump got
invited by the gold Star Parents. The White House is
(01:42):
denying it. The gold Star Parents are saying, yes he did.
Was the President trying to use death as a campaign
attraction or was he simply invited? Was he trying to
take pictures or were they trying to take pictures? Is
all that this a big giant nothing burger, or if
(02:03):
it is, something, has it backfired? Republican consultant analyst Chris
Walker is joining us now with his analysis, and I
think let me warn Jeffrey back at the studio. We
may actually disagree on this one. I've got it, get it, Chris,
Good morning, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, you kind of you have a different take on this,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Well, I mean maybe maybe not. I mean my sense is,
you know, this might this might be miss uh, you know,
not not heard as it should. But I just I'm
not sure Trump needed to go to the to Arlington
to kind of you know, you're you're not the president,
You're you're a candidate for president. You have to know
(02:48):
that everything you're doing is look through that prism. It
just takes a little bit of extra time to say,
you know, I appreciate the invitation, Why don't I invite
you all to Morro Logo or why don't I have
you to be an honored guest of one of my
campaign events. You just don't go to Arlington to do that,
irrespective of whether or not you're invited, irrespective of all
(03:08):
of this stuff. If you're not the president, if you're
not elected official, you know, you're not there for official reasons,
You're there for political reasons.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's just not smart.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And now probably I would say this, I would say this,
there's probably people screaming at the radio right now. He
wasn't there for political reasons. He was there out of
respect because he was invited by their parents who are
mourning and hurting and out of respect for their service
and their sacrifice it And I get that. I also
get your side. You know, you're running for president. You
know this is one of the great failures of your
opponent's administration, and you know it's going to be perceived
(03:43):
through the lens of campaign. What's more important, campaign or
the hurting families?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So the hurding families are obviously more important.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They always are and always will be.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But that's that's part of the problem, right. You know,
everyone was talking last week about the gold Star videos
and what a great move that was to and again
I just I don't like it in part because this
is it's not Republican or it's not Democrat. It's not
you know, Trump versus Biden or Harris or anything else.
This is like, these are families who you know, they
(04:14):
actually obviously have earned the right to have their opinion,
and they have it, and they've chosen Trump, and I'm
glad they did. But you know, in a way it
needs to be but.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It would, But is it when in foreign policy, by
the way, shouldn't be political. Uh, it should be republic
But when they're when their stances, when their policies are
so consistently different, and one produces piece through strength, one
(04:45):
emboldens aggressors, botches, exits, leaves before conditions on the ground,
and and their decisions certainly consistently and persistently create an
extra I mean, I like to look at this from
the view of a parent. If my son came to
me and said, Dad, I'm enlisting, my first thought is
(05:07):
good for him, good for me. I raised a son
who loves his country. He's willing to serve his country.
He's even willing to sacrifice his life for his country
if it comes to that. But I darned sure immediately
pivot and think about who his commander in chief is.
And so I think that's relevant, and because of that,
I stand by the gold Star. But here's the toughest
(05:30):
part about seeing your side of it, which is to
suggest that if Donald Trump should not have accepted, then
if when we get to the bottom of this, and
I think we will eventually, If Donald if Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris were invited and chose not to go.
That would make their decision not to go not disrespectful,
not a you know, ambivalent, but rather wise. And I
(05:54):
find that a struggle too. But you can't because you
can't have it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I can't go there. I don't take but they did it,
just did if you said down true, I mean I wouldn't.
I don't go to that conclusion because I just don't.
I don't find wisdom or you know, frankly, intelligence in
Biden inheris this thing. Let's not forget Afghanistan withdrawal. The
reason for this event is a direct impact of their
(06:20):
absolute failure in foreign policy. So like, I'm not giving
them a path on that. I just don't think you'd
do something in Arlington. You know, Trump could have easily
had a hundred different ways to honor these people without
going to Arlington to do it. And you know, don't
bring a camera crew with you when you do it. Like,
there's just some simple things. I just don't I think
this is a self inflicted wound on Trump's part. I
know we could do damage control and try to talk
(06:41):
about all this stuff, but again, this is just a
product of not being smart about some decisions he needs
to be making. You're in a fifty to fifty race,
and you don't need to give the Democrats a reason.
Let's talk about it for two weeks now, let's talk
about anything.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm not I'm not saying like.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well, if you don't, if you don't make this mistake
of they won't find something to complain about. They will.
But in the instance, I just I just don't think
it was wise to do what he did. To go
do what he did. You know, there's one hundred ways
to honor these families, not dragging them into a presidential
race as one of them attack Biden, attack Harris. Talk
about why that event happened in the first place. You know,
(07:17):
give them a podium and a platform to do it.
You just don't do it at Arlington to do that.
That's my view of it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think it was a self inflicted wound. I just
don't agree who got wounded? All right?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah? Fair? I mean, and it may you turn out
that way, but I just, in goodness, I hope it does.
I mean more talking about Afghanistan helps helps president from
President Trump, great, But you know, I.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Just look, I see your side and I may not agree,
but I see your side of it. Had he just
done it, it'd be one thing. But once you're invited
by grieving parents to come, I don't know, that's kind
of the endgame of it, especially when they didn't even
greet the bodies agreed and as far as depressed to
walk weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You want to do whatever you can. It is an
human nature to want to help agreeing.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Family like that.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It does that you you have to take You have
to play three D Chester a little bit and realize
just some things are better in another environment. And that's
that's where I think this could have been better handled.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then we agree, Do we agree it's for a
second week? Do we agree it's a big nothing burger?
In other words, the left is going to say Trump's
the devil in this. The Right's going to say Kamala
and Bide are the devil in this. And there's no
ground gained probably for that undecided voter and that swing
state of a swing precinct of a swing district.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
So I don't think it's a nothing burger in the
sense that the Democrats continues to attack gold star families,
which is incredibly politically stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Then wait a minute, call it off, get it on.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We don't have to get it out of a bit more.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
We'll get on that one.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Here we go one week till the debate. How big
is this debate going to be in the final decision, Well,
the last.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
One knocks at President of Canada out of the race.
So I mean, I think this is yeah, I mean,
you know, I just think Republicans are falling into another
trap in the sense of lowering expectations and making it
seem like, you know, it's like we did a state
of union. It's like we've done time time again. Kamala
(09:21):
Harris isn't a good ovader, She's not smart, she's not
capable of standing on staate of Trump. It's going to
be a wipeout. And then when it doesn't happen, then
all of a sudden the expectation games or not are
met and Kamal is fine because she comes she will
come across generally fine. That's where I think Republicans need
to just kind of, you know, step back and say, look,
(09:42):
Kamal Harris is the Democratic nominee for president. She's a capable,
smart woman who is going to put.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Her case out there.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The problem is the case that she's going to make
is going to be a bad one for the country.
You know, it resists the urge to call her dumb
and incapable of doing the job, because you're making they
will make it to the point where just her answering
questions cogently is a win. And you need to figure
out how we've just failed the expectations games for years
(10:09):
now in the sense that of course no one can
be there, and it's like, no, I mean, she.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Gave me there.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
She'll do a fine job. You did a fine job
against parents, So you know, you have to treat her
as a formidable candidate, not an unformidable candidate. And hopefully
the Reprobalyans will kind of get into that favor. I've
seen them already kind of fall into that trap again.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
We're visiting with Chris Walker, who is a Republican analyst
and consultant the debate one week away. I remember we
had a group of college kids at the radio station
one time, and of course that's such an unfortunate thing
right there, right because radio just screams that you know,
as somebody who was in manage of twenty six years,
(10:48):
I didn't really care about your college degree. Because they
didn't have a lot of respect for whatever your professor's
taught you versus real life. So you know, you're looking
at these people and you're going, you know, for the
to be a doctor, to be a so urgent. Yeah,
you better go to medical school and you better get
good grades and graduate from somewhere prestigious. But for radio, No,
I'm looking for people that are curious. I'm looking for
(11:08):
people that see life through interesting lenses and are able
to communicate and be quick on their feet. So it
begs the question our degrees more important? Or would you
take the BS artist the guy who's quick on his
feet and can talk in a debate. This is really
a negotiator and a reality TV provocateur versus a trained
(11:31):
skilled courtroom attorney. And I haven't gone back and looked
at any of her cases or seen actual footage of
her cases. My guess is Kamala Harris's strength was opening
and closing statements, and I'll bet her weakness was redirects
and cross examination or when bad things happen, how you
(11:52):
react that kind of a thing. And you can almost
see it all playing out in this debate. And if
Donald Trump can push the right buttons, and I don't
think this is misogynistic to say it is the negative
that knocked her out of the race in twenty twenty
as a candidate for president. There is a contentious and
a self righteous prosecutor in her that she defaults to,
(12:18):
and it comes across as nasty Kamala. I don't say
that because she's a woman. I just say you can
see that with men to some degree can come out
in Ted Cruz, for example, and it has nothing to
do with who's male and who's female. If that comes
or a word salad or a big, you know, unforced error,
it could be very negative for her, and I would
(12:40):
probably guess that's exactly what Donald Drum's going to try
to do.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, I definitely. I mean just look at her yesterday, right,
I mean, she had a completely different accent in Detroit
versus saying the same message. I mean there's an inauthenticity
to what she's doing that I think can come across
in the debate, in part because she just you know,
is definitely I recognize what I said earlier, But I
(13:08):
do think there's a part of her where she is
still trying to prove herself in this role because she
probably doesn't even feel like in some regards she's there,
she's qualified for it yet, and I think that that
should be born out of the debate too. You know,
let's not forget though, in these instances, this isn't Trump
versus Biden. I'm reminded of the Rick Lazio Hillary Clinton
debate and Senate in two thousand, where Lazio you know,
(13:32):
was a little more you know aggressive. Now Trump is
aggressive with Hillary in sixteen and it didn't really pay
a negative to him. But like I just it's it's
but killer is also the most unlikable candidate in you know,
American history, So let's not forget that too. I just
I think Trump has a has a tight rope to
walk here and not being too aggressively bullying to her.
(13:55):
People don't like that ultimately. I mean, everyone's got a
daughter or everyone you know has a mother, and they
just don't want to see, you know, a bullying aspect
to it.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now, you know, kame alos the.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Candidate for president, she's got it's a tough job. You're
going to be against tough opponents if she wins, and
so you.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Know, you have to go through the ringer on that view.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But Chris needs to do it correctly.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, Chris, he's got a bullier, he's got.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
A bully, but he doesn't need to be a bully.
It just it has a huge opportunity, it has a
huge sensible backfire. And so there needs to be a
you know, there needs to be a tightrope walk there
where he makes his case. He makes his arguments, but
it doesn't come across, you know, too aggressively because there's
there's just a chivalry still that I mean doesn't apply
(14:42):
to politics necessarily, but when we're not talking about you
and me are here who look at us every day,
it's it's just the regular people who don't follow the
stain and day out that are going to go. We
don't we don't want as somebody say, watching the debate,
what's this problem.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Well, what do we always say? You know, hate the sin,
don't hate the sinn. So he needs to hate the
policy maybe, but not make it look like he's bullying
and hating the opponent. That's gonna be. It's one week
away from today, so we'll have one more preview from
you on Monday next week or sooner. If conditions warned.
Our first big disagreement and I won What a great
way to start the new new cap kidding Chris Walker,
(15:20):
God bless you. Thanks for joining us. We'll talk again soon.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Tuono Aaron Real.
Before we get to our story, I remember, like yesterday,
dropping my kids off at preschool, in kindergarten, and all
those little firsts that were so sad. Way do they
get a driver's license and drive?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And way do they go to college? Way to their
boyfriend flies in from South Carolina?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But anyway, Eron just dropped off for one of her
children for the first time at kindergarten. Did you cry?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You you seem like I had tears my eyes.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
It was a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I'm so happy and he was so excited, and he
waved goodbye and bye mommy and walked right in. He
didn't even need me to walk them to the door.
So that it's like, it's all that. It's just a lot,
lot it is.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And let me tell you what that and let me
tell you what everybody used to tell me all the time.
Don't blink because you will blink and you'll be moving
him into college. So enjoy every minute and seize every moment,
all right, Kamala Harris. She's counting on labor units to
get her elected. Well, that was what this weekend was
all about. But we'll organize labor support her, even though
(16:28):
she's very vague on her plans. You know, I was
watching that. That was the only labor I did this
Labor Day. I watched that entire campaign stop. First of all,
Joe was rested and screaming at the top of his
lungs for thirty straight minutes. Then Kamala came up and
somehow doesn't have the same speech writers she had at
the convention, and it was just all, you know, flowery words,
(16:51):
but no real substantive plan or substinative policies or promises.
I guess because it's campaign stop, everybody's cheering and holding
up signs. But is there problems underneath the surface of
the water for her.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
It's interesting because she is like labor through and through. Actually,
this is a good way to start off. And by
the way, she was in Detroit and Pittsburgh, as you mentioned,
she really needs those labor votes. Essentially, they're gonna win
the vote. Like this comes down to a couple counties
in a couple of states, and the labor votes are
essential to winning these key battleground states at Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and about a fifth of the electorate there are union voters,
(17:30):
so this is imperative. But I'm going to tell a
quick story. So apparently she went after when she was
running for president first go around in twenty nineteen, Harris
supported California state legislation when she was the Democratic nominee
that would basically limit the ability of gig companies to
classify workers as contractors aka uber. Get this, her brother
(17:51):
in law was the public fate for this legal battle,
and she went after him. Anyway, this is her sister Maya.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
As my yeah, exactly, and so like that.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That had to be a weird Thanksgiving, but it kind
of shows you her resolve when it comes to going
after big labor and standing for big labor and going
after the corporate If.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It was anything like when Joe called her to tell
you he was dropping out of the race, My guess is,
Auntie can have more bacon and why are you assing
my father? Well, yes, that's what happened. You know, we
talk about, you know, the importance of labor, and nobody's
going to debate you on that. Labor votes. But that's
assuming everything is as it always was, right, But if
(18:35):
you're struggling with people of colors, vote, hispanic vote, young
people's votes, things that they can normally count on, you know,
they might have other problems as well, but you might
want to sure up what used to be your strength
for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Indeed, and listen, that's why she had biding with her.
Biden showed up on the picket line two summers ago.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That was huge that he.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Thought he was in a buffet line, but yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Regardless, he was there, and that kind of shows you
like how much he stands really, which is why they
brought him out this weekend, like you said, to scream
at everybody. So it's interesting to see how this is
going to all shape up, because here's the thing, you know,
for all Democrats, Harris offers, like this way better shot
of beating Donald Trump. But there's also you know, is
(19:22):
it reliable that all of these labor unions are going
to vote the way their union delegate tells them to? Now,
of course not, you just get the endorsement, but if
they feel more culturally or you know whatever, it might
be aligned with Trump, or if jd Vance, who has
this very popular position and appellation appeal for workers.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Are they going to vote with him? It depends.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
But again, having that endorsement it is crucial. It is huge,
and it's particularly huge in the states that are going
to decide the election this year.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
All I can tell you is for your daughter, enjoy
the next six years, because there's about a four year
period where you will not recognize her. As for the
journey of parenting, it always begins with that drop off
at kindergarten and it only gets more and more adventurous
(20:10):
as we go go home and cry. Good day. Reporting
though appreciated Aaron.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Oh, I thank you, Michael, have a great dame.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
All right, Yeah, that seems like yesterday. Now my kids
are in college. Oh, I know, urse, I feel the
taste of death creeping down my throat. Oh listen, get older.
We'll begin again once you get those grand babies in there.
That's what I'm kind of I'm caught in between, aren't I. Yeah,
you're just in this little dark period right now. What
(20:36):
else is going on? I know your top five stories
of the day. While President Biden made his first joint
appearance on the campaign trail with Kamala Harrison's exiting the
race in twenty four you have a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Of minume control.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
He looked a lot of like fire Marshall Bell going.
It kind of made I'm sorry, and he kind of
made Kamala look at a little smaller. I don't think
you're going to see him very much more on the
campaign trail, but he was there on Labor Day. Mark
Mayfield has the stores.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Speaking at a union rally in Pittsburgh on Labor Day,
Biden focused on pro labor policies and touted himself as
the most pro union president in history, while showing support
for Harris. Are you ready to fight?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Are you ready to win? Are you ready to let
Kama Harris our next president?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
He also talked about his infrastructure bill and what he
calls the positive impact it has had on the US economy.
Speaking after Biden, Harris said at US Steel, which agreed
to be bought by Japan's Niphone Steel, should remain domestically
owned and operated on Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
So Hamas purposely kills six hostages and it's bb Net
and Yaho's fault. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
When asked by a reporter if enough was being done,
this was Biden's response no Speaking to reporters at the
White House Monday, Biden said he remains hopeful that a
deal will get done. The President said he spoke to
the parents of an Israeli American hostage that was found
dead over the weekend. He also said he's not giving
(22:11):
up on reaching a deal for the release of others
still being held captive by Hamas. I'm Brian Schuck.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The NYPD is now saying six people were shot at
Brooklyn's West Indian Day parade. Sarah Lee Kessler has the latest.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Police say a gunman jumped onto a parade barrier on
Eastern Parkway at about three pm and fired into the crowd.
This woman was an eyewitness.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Guys, they came from back there. They jump over there
and I hear pop.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And what I did was I dump on the ground
because everybody's not running.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
One of the victims is reportedly in critical condition. One
was shot in the head, another in the shoulder, and
yet another in the wrist. The parade was halted for
a time, but it's resumed again. Sarah Lee Kessler NBC
News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Tonight's Mega Million's drawing will be worth all whopping six
hundred and eighty one million dollars. That's a cash option
of just over three hundred and thirty six million dollars.
We haven't had a winner since June. This is a
major breakthrough. Researchers say there are markers and routine blood
tests that can predict the risk of heart disease. Thirty
(23:22):
years out, Tammy Trahilo has this amazing breakthrough story.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
A certain type of fat and an indicator of inflammation
can predict the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart disease.
The study found women with the highest levels were one
and a half times more likely to have a stroke
and three times more likely to develop heart disease over
the next three decades. That study was published in the
New England Journal of Medicine. I'm Tammy, trheo.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Dead Pool and Wolverine continues to rule at the box office,
another fifteen point two million dollars over the holiday week
in Reagan, the presidential biopic the only movie opening this
weekend to crack the top five. Well, in between death
and taxes, there's a lot of and there's more to
a good shower than just waking you up to start
your day. Pre Tennis with ways to boost creativity.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
If you work forty hours a week from age twenty
to age sixty five, you'll be away from home over
ninety thousand hours. Careerrigin dot Com says to keep creativity flowing,
you need to step away from the office and into
a shower. They say more people are creative in the
shower than in the boardroom. And it comes down to
the warmth of the water that makes us feel cozy
(24:29):
and increases dopamine and that's where creativity lives.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm pre tennis sadly, and I know it's too much information.
My greatest creativity takes place in the bathroom, but it's
not the shower. Here's a story our Tampa listeners are
gonna love. Florida is the most fun state to live in,
mart Mayfield, explained.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
A new study from Wallethum ranked all fifty states across
more than two dozen key indicators, including accessibility to national parks, nightlife,
and other activities. Researchers determined that the Sunshine State took
the national lead because of its number of restaurants, amusement parks,
and music festivals per Campita, California took the number two spot,
while West Virginia came in last I'm markney View, oh.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Netta Cottage football got underway, and for those of you
that were stiffed by the mouse, Disney and ESPN, I
should tell you OHU fifty one three over Temple, Georgia
thirty four to three over Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas
huge lopsided wins. Notre Dame with a big win. The
big losers Florida State, oh and two start they lost
(25:32):
last night twenty eight to thirteen to Boston College. They'll
go from tenth rank to unbranked. And LSU they got
themselves a quarterback at USC. LSU falls to the Trojans
twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael Gilgona.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
When you walk through the storm, it's not the same
Labor Day without Jerry Lewis and the teleth right. But
I do love post Labor Day because that's when life
really gets fun. Temperatures cool down, but you start turning
footbool Halloween, Thanksgiving. Before you know it, we're singing the
first no well in my favorite season, the Christmas season.
(26:16):
But I trust you had a great Labor Day weekend.
Welcome back to the Grind at nine before the top
of the hour and about nine minutes to be to work.
Welcome back to your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal
joined by Rory O'Neil. Developments in Israel over the weekend
have put bb Netanya, who under a tremendous pressure to
craft a ceasefire with AMAS. Let me get this straight.
AMAS kills hostages. Well, they've killed probably ninety percent of
(26:36):
the hostage, but six more and it's Babe's fault. Rory
helps us understand the story.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Well, the pressure from the Israeli people is that they
want him to broke or a deal and get all
the hostages freed. And I think that we've seen the
protest described as people just venting frustration.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Not necessarily all their ire is that Yah.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Saying hey, look, you know, broker the deal, do whatever
it takes, release whoever.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Is necessary, but get the hostages home.
Speaker 10 (27:06):
It's been three hundred and thirty two days and they
want these hostages return.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Of course, negotiating with terrorists usually ends up being tricky
business and you end up with more hostages in the future.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Right, absolutely, And they've also done this dance before, right,
I mean, releasing Hamas members is something that's done frequently.
They've already released hundreds in an earlier swap that happened
months ago. But there are accusations that Netanyah, who was
intentionally dragging his feet so that he can stay in office,
his defense minister, is being praised by more Israelis for
(27:46):
his approach to try to resolve the situation.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
So, you know, there's a lot of back and forth.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
And we're hearing from the Biden administration they're getting frustrated
with Netanyahu. But you know, Netanyahu had a speech last
night essentially apologizing to the families of the hostages, but
at the same time saying, look, the goal remains the same,
the elimination of Hamas once and for all.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, and I guess at some point somebody should address
the elephant in the room, which is Iran, right either
through I mean, start making this more painful for Iran,
and either through sanctions or consequences or what have you.
And that doesn't seem to be the trajectory at all,
not yet.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You know, we have we are still waiting for Iran
to respond.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
After Israel took out the Hamas leader, who was in
Tehran a month ago. We haven't seen that Iranian response
to that yet, even though they said something would be happening.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So that's still on hold.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
You've still got two US aircraft carrier groups in the
region trying to keep a lid on things. But you know,
right now the turmoil seems to be internal in Israel
with the scale of these protests.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, if I was a teenager, you were probably a
little younger, maybe too young, But I can tell you
in nineteen seventy nine was in shambles, just as it
is somewhat to some degree, you know, perceived as today.
But it was really that hostage crisis that was the
final say in that whole campaign and election. Sure, you
had the Ronald Reagan compare your life to four years ago.
(29:14):
If it's better, by all means, re elect Jimmy Carter.
If it's not, give me a tribe. But there was
that every night during the news, the flipping of the calendar,
a new date, they played the clip of the Beatles
and so on. And yet here we are forty whatever
years later without with an American hostage, you know, killed
over the weekend, and there just doesn't seem to be
(29:35):
any interest whatsoever. I just you know, never mind the
changing of politics. And I understand we're polarized to the
far left and right, and some of that's to blame
for the media and morph so with social media, but
it just doesn't seem to be the interest at home.
And then what is often too political when it comes
to foreign policy in America starting in Israel. That's kind
(29:58):
of new and difficult to get your arms around because
usually Israel state's focused, laser focused.
Speaker 10 (30:04):
Well, I think the lack of focus here, I think
is we're just all throwing up our hands saying I
don't know what the answer is, right, I mean, I
think there's that kind of frustration that didn't necessarily exist
with the Iran hostage crisis in the nineteen seventies, that
lack of a clear path forward, a two state solution,
you know, something to finally resolve this thing.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Try to I don't. Yeah, I think that's still elusive
at this point.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, And the problem is they're not really interested in
a two state solution because they don't really recognize Israel's
right to exist at least Iran doesn't, Hamas doesn't, so
on and so forth. So Yeah, second first, same is
the first there, all right, Rory, great coverage and great work.
Again I said this earlier, but while everybody else was
enjoying a wonderful weekend, Rory worked very hard putting together
(30:49):
the weekend dive, which was spectacular. By the way, I'm
trying to get that on our Nashville station for those
who live here in Nashville, but you could always find
it on your iHeartRadio app. And then a great job yesterday,
Thank you very much, skip out.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Early and go rest there we'll do.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Unfortunately, he's got twenty seven more stations from all right
fifty seven after the hour. I don't know where time goes.
It flies, whether you're having fun or not. It's good
to be back to work. Short week because of the
Labor Day weekend. Things to look forward to. We're one
week away from the presidential debate. NFL football has it
saying kicks off Thursday night with the Ravens and the Chiefs,
(31:27):
and really other than that, I would think all attention
is going to turn to the Middle East, so we'll
certainly have more on that, and then the guys predicting
that a civil war isn't necessarily off the table for
the United States. I want to kick around some of
that with David Snati tomorrow. We're all in this together.
(31:49):

President Biden labored on Labor Day alongside his vice president
(01:20):
Kamala Harris, campaigning with Union voters. Warm temperatures across the
country continuing, and then there's the big controversy over Donald
Trump going to Arlington and did Kamala Harris and President
Biden get invited just as former President Donald Trump got
invited by the gold Star Parents. The White House is
(01:42):
denying it. The gold Star Parents are saying, yes he did.
Was the President trying to use death as a campaign
attraction or was he simply invited? Was he trying to
take pictures or were they trying to take pictures? Is
all that this a big giant nothing burger, or if
(02:03):
it is, something, has it backfired? Republican consultant analyst Chris
Walker is joining us now with his analysis, and I
think let me warn Jeffrey back at the studio. We
may actually disagree on this one. I've got it, get it, Chris,
Good morning, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, you kind of you have a different take on this,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Well, I mean maybe maybe not. I mean my sense is,
you know, this might this might be miss uh, you know,
not not heard as it should. But I just I'm
not sure Trump needed to go to the to Arlington
to kind of you know, you're you're not the president,
You're you're a candidate for president. You have to know
(02:48):
that everything you're doing is look through that prism. It
just takes a little bit of extra time to say,
you know, I appreciate the invitation, Why don't I invite
you all to Morro Logo or why don't I have
you to be an honored guest of one of my
campaign events. You just don't go to Arlington to do that,
irrespective of whether or not you're invited, irrespective of all
(03:08):
of this stuff. If you're not the president, if you're
not elected official, you know, you're not there for official reasons,
You're there for political reasons.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's just not smart.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And now probably I would say this, I would say this,
there's probably people screaming at the radio right now. He
wasn't there for political reasons. He was there out of
respect because he was invited by their parents who are
mourning and hurting and out of respect for their service
and their sacrifice it And I get that. I also
get your side. You know, you're running for president. You
know this is one of the great failures of your
opponent's administration, and you know it's going to be perceived
(03:43):
through the lens of campaign. What's more important, campaign or
the hurting families?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So the hurding families are obviously more important.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They always are and always will be.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But that's that's part of the problem, right. You know,
everyone was talking last week about the gold Star videos
and what a great move that was to and again
I just I don't like it in part because this
is it's not Republican or it's not Democrat. It's not
you know, Trump versus Biden or Harris or anything else.
This is like, these are families who you know, they
(04:14):
actually obviously have earned the right to have their opinion,
and they have it, and they've chosen Trump, and I'm
glad they did. But you know, in a way it
needs to be but.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It would, But is it when in foreign policy, by
the way, shouldn't be political. Uh, it should be republic
But when they're when their stances, when their policies are
so consistently different, and one produces piece through strength, one
(04:45):
emboldens aggressors, botches, exits, leaves before conditions on the ground,
and and their decisions certainly consistently and persistently create an
extra I mean, I like to look at this from
the view of a parent. If my son came to
me and said, Dad, I'm enlisting, my first thought is
(05:07):
good for him, good for me. I raised a son
who loves his country. He's willing to serve his country.
He's even willing to sacrifice his life for his country
if it comes to that. But I darned sure immediately
pivot and think about who his commander in chief is.
And so I think that's relevant, and because of that,
I stand by the gold Star. But here's the toughest
(05:30):
part about seeing your side of it, which is to
suggest that if Donald Trump should not have accepted, then
if when we get to the bottom of this, and
I think we will eventually, If Donald if Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris were invited and chose not to go.
That would make their decision not to go not disrespectful,
not a you know, ambivalent, but rather wise. And I
(05:54):
find that a struggle too. But you can't because you
can't have it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I can't go there. I don't take but they did it,
just did if you said down true, I mean I wouldn't.
I don't go to that conclusion because I just don't.
I don't find wisdom or you know, frankly, intelligence in
Biden inheris this thing. Let's not forget Afghanistan withdrawal. The
reason for this event is a direct impact of their
(06:20):
absolute failure in foreign policy. So like, I'm not giving
them a path on that. I just don't think you'd
do something in Arlington. You know, Trump could have easily
had a hundred different ways to honor these people without
going to Arlington to do it. And you know, don't
bring a camera crew with you when you do it. Like,
there's just some simple things. I just don't I think
this is a self inflicted wound on Trump's part. I
know we could do damage control and try to talk
(06:41):
about all this stuff, but again, this is just a
product of not being smart about some decisions he needs
to be making. You're in a fifty to fifty race,
and you don't need to give the Democrats a reason.
Let's talk about it for two weeks now, let's talk
about anything.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm not I'm not saying like.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well, if you don't, if you don't make this mistake
of they won't find something to complain about. They will.
But in the instance, I just I just don't think
it was wise to do what he did. To go
do what he did. You know, there's one hundred ways
to honor these families, not dragging them into a presidential
race as one of them attack Biden, attack Harris. Talk
about why that event happened in the first place. You know,
(07:17):
give them a podium and a platform to do it.
You just don't do it at Arlington to do that.
That's my view of it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think it was a self inflicted wound. I just
don't agree who got wounded? All right?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah? Fair? I mean, and it may you turn out
that way, but I just, in goodness, I hope it does.
I mean more talking about Afghanistan helps helps president from
President Trump, great, But you know, I.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Just look, I see your side and I may not agree,
but I see your side of it. Had he just
done it, it'd be one thing. But once you're invited
by grieving parents to come, I don't know, that's kind
of the endgame of it, especially when they didn't even
greet the bodies agreed and as far as depressed to
walk weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You want to do whatever you can. It is an
human nature to want to help agreeing.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Family like that.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It does that you you have to take You have
to play three D Chester a little bit and realize
just some things are better in another environment. And that's
that's where I think this could have been better handled.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then we agree, Do we agree it's for a
second week? Do we agree it's a big nothing burger?
In other words, the left is going to say Trump's
the devil in this. The Right's going to say Kamala
and Bide are the devil in this. And there's no
ground gained probably for that undecided voter and that swing
state of a swing precinct of a swing district.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
So I don't think it's a nothing burger in the
sense that the Democrats continues to attack gold star families,
which is incredibly politically stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Then wait a minute, call it off, get it on.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We don't have to get it out of a bit more.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
We'll get on that one.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Here we go one week till the debate. How big
is this debate going to be in the final decision, Well,
the last.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
One knocks at President of Canada out of the race.
So I mean, I think this is yeah, I mean,
you know, I just think Republicans are falling into another
trap in the sense of lowering expectations and making it
seem like, you know, it's like we did a state
of union. It's like we've done time time again. Kamala
(09:21):
Harris isn't a good ovader, She's not smart, she's not
capable of standing on staate of Trump. It's going to
be a wipeout. And then when it doesn't happen, then
all of a sudden the expectation games or not are
met and Kamal is fine because she comes she will
come across generally fine. That's where I think Republicans need
to just kind of, you know, step back and say, look,
(09:42):
Kamal Harris is the Democratic nominee for president. She's a capable,
smart woman who is going to put.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Her case out there.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
The problem is the case that she's going to make
is going to be a bad one for the country.
You know, it resists the urge to call her dumb
and incapable of doing the job, because you're making they
will make it to the point where just her answering
questions cogently is a win. And you need to figure
out how we've just failed the expectations games for years
(10:09):
now in the sense that of course no one can
be there, and it's like, no, I mean, she.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Gave me there.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
She'll do a fine job. You did a fine job
against parents, So you know, you have to treat her
as a formidable candidate, not an unformidable candidate. And hopefully
the Reprobalyans will kind of get into that favor. I've
seen them already kind of fall into that trap again.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
We're visiting with Chris Walker, who is a Republican analyst
and consultant the debate one week away. I remember we
had a group of college kids at the radio station
one time, and of course that's such an unfortunate thing
right there, right because radio just screams that you know,
as somebody who was in manage of twenty six years,
(10:48):
I didn't really care about your college degree. Because they
didn't have a lot of respect for whatever your professor's
taught you versus real life. So you know, you're looking
at these people and you're going, you know, for the
to be a doctor, to be a so urgent. Yeah,
you better go to medical school and you better get
good grades and graduate from somewhere prestigious. But for radio, No,
I'm looking for people that are curious. I'm looking for
(11:08):
people that see life through interesting lenses and are able
to communicate and be quick on their feet. So it
begs the question our degrees more important? Or would you
take the BS artist the guy who's quick on his
feet and can talk in a debate. This is really
a negotiator and a reality TV provocateur versus a trained
(11:31):
skilled courtroom attorney. And I haven't gone back and looked
at any of her cases or seen actual footage of
her cases. My guess is Kamala Harris's strength was opening
and closing statements, and I'll bet her weakness was redirects
and cross examination or when bad things happen, how you
(11:52):
react that kind of a thing. And you can almost
see it all playing out in this debate. And if
Donald Trump can push the right buttons, and I don't
think this is misogynistic to say it is the negative
that knocked her out of the race in twenty twenty
as a candidate for president. There is a contentious and
a self righteous prosecutor in her that she defaults to,
(12:18):
and it comes across as nasty Kamala. I don't say
that because she's a woman. I just say you can
see that with men to some degree can come out
in Ted Cruz, for example, and it has nothing to
do with who's male and who's female. If that comes
or a word salad or a big, you know, unforced error,
it could be very negative for her, and I would
(12:40):
probably guess that's exactly what Donald Drum's going to try
to do.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, I definitely. I mean just look at her yesterday, right,
I mean, she had a completely different accent in Detroit
versus saying the same message. I mean there's an inauthenticity
to what she's doing that I think can come across
in the debate, in part because she just you know,
is definitely I recognize what I said earlier, But I
(13:08):
do think there's a part of her where she is
still trying to prove herself in this role because she
probably doesn't even feel like in some regards she's there,
she's qualified for it yet, and I think that that
should be born out of the debate too. You know,
let's not forget though, in these instances, this isn't Trump
versus Biden. I'm reminded of the Rick Lazio Hillary Clinton
debate and Senate in two thousand, where Lazio you know,
(13:32):
was a little more you know aggressive. Now Trump is
aggressive with Hillary in sixteen and it didn't really pay
a negative to him. But like I just it's it's
but killer is also the most unlikable candidate in you know,
American history, So let's not forget that too. I just
I think Trump has a has a tight rope to
walk here and not being too aggressively bullying to her.
(13:55):
People don't like that ultimately. I mean, everyone's got a
daughter or everyone you know has a mother, and they
just don't want to see, you know, a bullying aspect
to it.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now, you know, kame alos the.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Candidate for president, she's got it's a tough job. You're
going to be against tough opponents if she wins, and
so you.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Know, you have to go through the ringer on that view.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But Chris needs to do it correctly.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, Chris, he's got a bullier, he's got.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
A bully, but he doesn't need to be a bully.
It just it has a huge opportunity, it has a
huge sensible backfire. And so there needs to be a
you know, there needs to be a tightrope walk there
where he makes his case. He makes his arguments, but
it doesn't come across, you know, too aggressively because there's
there's just a chivalry still that I mean doesn't apply
(14:42):
to politics necessarily, but when we're not talking about you
and me are here who look at us every day,
it's it's just the regular people who don't follow the
stain and day out that are going to go. We
don't we don't want as somebody say, watching the debate,
what's this problem.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Well, what do we always say? You know, hate the sin,
don't hate the sinn. So he needs to hate the
policy maybe, but not make it look like he's bullying
and hating the opponent. That's gonna be. It's one week
away from today, so we'll have one more preview from
you on Monday next week or sooner. If conditions warned.
Our first big disagreement and I won What a great
way to start the new new cap kidding Chris Walker,
(15:20):
God bless you. Thanks for joining us. We'll talk again soon.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Tuono Aaron Real.
Before we get to our story, I remember, like yesterday,
dropping my kids off at preschool, in kindergarten, and all
those little firsts that were so sad. Way do they
get a driver's license and drive?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And way do they go to college? Way to their
boyfriend flies in from South Carolina?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But anyway, Eron just dropped off for one of her
children for the first time at kindergarten. Did you cry?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You you seem like I had tears my eyes.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
It was a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I'm so happy and he was so excited, and he
waved goodbye and bye mommy and walked right in. He
didn't even need me to walk them to the door.
So that it's like, it's all that. It's just a lot,
lot it is.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And let me tell you what that and let me
tell you what everybody used to tell me all the time.
Don't blink because you will blink and you'll be moving
him into college. So enjoy every minute and seize every moment,
all right, Kamala Harris. She's counting on labor units to
get her elected. Well, that was what this weekend was
all about. But we'll organize labor support her, even though
(16:28):
she's very vague on her plans. You know, I was
watching that. That was the only labor I did this
Labor Day. I watched that entire campaign stop. First of all,
Joe was rested and screaming at the top of his
lungs for thirty straight minutes. Then Kamala came up and
somehow doesn't have the same speech writers she had at
the convention, and it was just all, you know, flowery words,
(16:51):
but no real substantive plan or substinative policies or promises.
I guess because it's campaign stop, everybody's cheering and holding
up signs. But is there problems underneath the surface of
the water for her.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
It's interesting because she is like labor through and through. Actually,
this is a good way to start off. And by
the way, she was in Detroit and Pittsburgh, as you mentioned,
she really needs those labor votes. Essentially, they're gonna win
the vote. Like this comes down to a couple counties
in a couple of states, and the labor votes are
essential to winning these key battleground states at Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and about a fifth of the electorate there are union voters,
(17:30):
so this is imperative. But I'm going to tell a
quick story. So apparently she went after when she was
running for president first go around in twenty nineteen, Harris
supported California state legislation when she was the Democratic nominee
that would basically limit the ability of gig companies to
classify workers as contractors aka uber. Get this, her brother
(17:51):
in law was the public fate for this legal battle,
and she went after him. Anyway, this is her sister Maya.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
As my yeah, exactly, and so like that.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That had to be a weird Thanksgiving, but it kind
of shows you her resolve when it comes to going
after big labor and standing for big labor and going
after the corporate If.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It was anything like when Joe called her to tell
you he was dropping out of the race, My guess is,
Auntie can have more bacon and why are you assing
my father? Well, yes, that's what happened. You know, we
talk about, you know, the importance of labor, and nobody's
going to debate you on that. Labor votes. But that's
assuming everything is as it always was, right, But if
(18:35):
you're struggling with people of colors, vote, hispanic vote, young
people's votes, things that they can normally count on, you know,
they might have other problems as well, but you might
want to sure up what used to be your strength
for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Indeed, and listen, that's why she had biding with her.
Biden showed up on the picket line two summers ago.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That was huge that he.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Thought he was in a buffet line, but yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Regardless, he was there, and that kind of shows you
like how much he stands really, which is why they
brought him out this weekend, like you said, to scream
at everybody. So it's interesting to see how this is
going to all shape up, because here's the thing, you know,
for all Democrats, Harris offers, like this way better shot
of beating Donald Trump. But there's also you know, is
(19:22):
it reliable that all of these labor unions are going
to vote the way their union delegate tells them to? Now,
of course not, you just get the endorsement, but if
they feel more culturally or you know whatever, it might
be aligned with Trump, or if jd Vance, who has
this very popular position and appellation appeal for workers.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Are they going to vote with him? It depends.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
But again, having that endorsement it is crucial. It is huge,
and it's particularly huge in the states that are going
to decide the election this year.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
All I can tell you is for your daughter, enjoy
the next six years, because there's about a four year
period where you will not recognize her. As for the
journey of parenting, it always begins with that drop off
at kindergarten and it only gets more and more adventurous
(20:10):
as we go go home and cry. Good day. Reporting
though appreciated Aaron.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Oh, I thank you, Michael, have a great dame.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
All right, Yeah, that seems like yesterday. Now my kids
are in college. Oh, I know, urse, I feel the
taste of death creeping down my throat. Oh listen, get older.
We'll begin again once you get those grand babies in there.
That's what I'm kind of I'm caught in between, aren't I. Yeah,
you're just in this little dark period right now. What
(20:36):
else is going on? I know your top five stories
of the day. While President Biden made his first joint
appearance on the campaign trail with Kamala Harrison's exiting the
race in twenty four you have a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Of minume control.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
He looked a lot of like fire Marshall Bell going.
It kind of made I'm sorry, and he kind of
made Kamala look at a little smaller. I don't think
you're going to see him very much more on the
campaign trail, but he was there on Labor Day. Mark
Mayfield has the stores.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Speaking at a union rally in Pittsburgh on Labor Day,
Biden focused on pro labor policies and touted himself as
the most pro union president in history, while showing support
for Harris. Are you ready to fight?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Are you ready to win? Are you ready to let
Kama Harris our next president?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
He also talked about his infrastructure bill and what he
calls the positive impact it has had on the US economy.
Speaking after Biden, Harris said at US Steel, which agreed
to be bought by Japan's Niphone Steel, should remain domestically
owned and operated on Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
So Hamas purposely kills six hostages and it's bb Net
and Yaho's fault. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
When asked by a reporter if enough was being done,
this was Biden's response no Speaking to reporters at the
White House Monday, Biden said he remains hopeful that a
deal will get done. The President said he spoke to
the parents of an Israeli American hostage that was found
dead over the weekend. He also said he's not giving
(22:11):
up on reaching a deal for the release of others
still being held captive by Hamas. I'm Brian Schuck.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The NYPD is now saying six people were shot at
Brooklyn's West Indian Day parade. Sarah Lee Kessler has the latest.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Police say a gunman jumped onto a parade barrier on
Eastern Parkway at about three pm and fired into the crowd.
This woman was an eyewitness.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Guys, they came from back there. They jump over there
and I hear pop.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And what I did was I dump on the ground
because everybody's not running.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
One of the victims is reportedly in critical condition. One
was shot in the head, another in the shoulder, and
yet another in the wrist. The parade was halted for
a time, but it's resumed again. Sarah Lee Kessler NBC
News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Tonight's Mega Million's drawing will be worth all whopping six
hundred and eighty one million dollars. That's a cash option
of just over three hundred and thirty six million dollars.
We haven't had a winner since June. This is a
major breakthrough. Researchers say there are markers and routine blood
tests that can predict the risk of heart disease. Thirty
(23:22):
years out, Tammy Trahilo has this amazing breakthrough story.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
A certain type of fat and an indicator of inflammation
can predict the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart disease.
The study found women with the highest levels were one
and a half times more likely to have a stroke
and three times more likely to develop heart disease over
the next three decades. That study was published in the
New England Journal of Medicine. I'm Tammy, trheo.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Dead Pool and Wolverine continues to rule at the box office,
another fifteen point two million dollars over the holiday week
in Reagan, the presidential biopic the only movie opening this
weekend to crack the top five. Well, in between death
and taxes, there's a lot of and there's more to
a good shower than just waking you up to start
your day. Pre Tennis with ways to boost creativity.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
If you work forty hours a week from age twenty
to age sixty five, you'll be away from home over
ninety thousand hours. Careerrigin dot Com says to keep creativity flowing,
you need to step away from the office and into
a shower. They say more people are creative in the
shower than in the boardroom. And it comes down to
the warmth of the water that makes us feel cozy
(24:29):
and increases dopamine and that's where creativity lives.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm pre tennis sadly, and I know it's too much information.
My greatest creativity takes place in the bathroom, but it's
not the shower. Here's a story our Tampa listeners are
gonna love. Florida is the most fun state to live in,
mart Mayfield, explained.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
A new study from Wallethum ranked all fifty states across
more than two dozen key indicators, including accessibility to national parks, nightlife,
and other activities. Researchers determined that the Sunshine State took
the national lead because of its number of restaurants, amusement parks,
and music festivals per Campita, California took the number two spot,
while West Virginia came in last I'm markney View, oh.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Netta Cottage football got underway, and for those of you
that were stiffed by the mouse, Disney and ESPN, I
should tell you OHU fifty one three over Temple, Georgia
thirty four to three over Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas
huge lopsided wins. Notre Dame with a big win. The
big losers Florida State, oh and two start they lost
(25:32):
last night twenty eight to thirteen to Boston College. They'll
go from tenth rank to unbranked. And LSU they got
themselves a quarterback at USC. LSU falls to the Trojans
twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael Gilgona.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
When you walk through the storm, it's not the same
Labor Day without Jerry Lewis and the teleth right. But
I do love post Labor Day because that's when life
really gets fun. Temperatures cool down, but you start turning
footbool Halloween, Thanksgiving. Before you know it, we're singing the
first no well in my favorite season, the Christmas season.
(26:16):
But I trust you had a great Labor Day weekend.
Welcome back to the Grind at nine before the top
of the hour and about nine minutes to be to work.
Welcome back to your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal
joined by Rory O'Neil. Developments in Israel over the weekend
have put bb Netanya, who under a tremendous pressure to
craft a ceasefire with AMAS. Let me get this straight.
AMAS kills hostages. Well, they've killed probably ninety percent of
(26:36):
the hostage, but six more and it's Babe's fault. Rory
helps us understand the story.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Well, the pressure from the Israeli people is that they
want him to broke or a deal and get all
the hostages freed. And I think that we've seen the
protest described as people just venting frustration.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Not necessarily all their ire is that Yah.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Saying hey, look, you know, broker the deal, do whatever
it takes, release whoever.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Is necessary, but get the hostages home.
Speaker 10 (27:06):
It's been three hundred and thirty two days and they
want these hostages return.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Of course, negotiating with terrorists usually ends up being tricky
business and you end up with more hostages in the future.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Right, absolutely, And they've also done this dance before, right,
I mean, releasing Hamas members is something that's done frequently.
They've already released hundreds in an earlier swap that happened
months ago. But there are accusations that Netanyah, who was
intentionally dragging his feet so that he can stay in office,
his defense minister, is being praised by more Israelis for
(27:46):
his approach to try to resolve the situation.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
So, you know, there's a lot of back and forth.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
And we're hearing from the Biden administration they're getting frustrated
with Netanyahu. But you know, Netanyahu had a speech last
night essentially apologizing to the families of the hostages, but
at the same time saying, look, the goal remains the same,
the elimination of Hamas once and for all.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, and I guess at some point somebody should address
the elephant in the room, which is Iran, right either
through I mean, start making this more painful for Iran,
and either through sanctions or consequences or what have you.
And that doesn't seem to be the trajectory at all,
not yet.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You know, we have we are still waiting for Iran
to respond.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
After Israel took out the Hamas leader, who was in
Tehran a month ago. We haven't seen that Iranian response
to that yet, even though they said something would be happening.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So that's still on hold.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
You've still got two US aircraft carrier groups in the
region trying to keep a lid on things. But you know,
right now the turmoil seems to be internal in Israel
with the scale of these protests.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, if I was a teenager, you were probably a
little younger, maybe too young, But I can tell you
in nineteen seventy nine was in shambles, just as it
is somewhat to some degree, you know, perceived as today.
But it was really that hostage crisis that was the
final say in that whole campaign and election. Sure, you
had the Ronald Reagan compare your life to four years ago.
(29:14):
If it's better, by all means, re elect Jimmy Carter.
If it's not, give me a tribe. But there was
that every night during the news, the flipping of the calendar,
a new date, they played the clip of the Beatles
and so on. And yet here we are forty whatever
years later without with an American hostage, you know, killed
over the weekend, and there just doesn't seem to be
(29:35):
any interest whatsoever. I just you know, never mind the
changing of politics. And I understand we're polarized to the
far left and right, and some of that's to blame
for the media and morph so with social media, but
it just doesn't seem to be the interest at home.
And then what is often too political when it comes
to foreign policy in America starting in Israel. That's kind
(29:58):
of new and difficult to get your arms around because
usually Israel state's focused, laser focused.
Speaker 10 (30:04):
Well, I think the lack of focus here, I think
is we're just all throwing up our hands saying I
don't know what the answer is, right, I mean, I
think there's that kind of frustration that didn't necessarily exist
with the Iran hostage crisis in the nineteen seventies, that
lack of a clear path forward, a two state solution,
you know, something to finally resolve this thing.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Try to I don't. Yeah, I think that's still elusive
at this point.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, And the problem is they're not really interested in
a two state solution because they don't really recognize Israel's
right to exist at least Iran doesn't, Hamas doesn't, so
on and so forth. So Yeah, second first, same is
the first there, all right, Rory, great coverage and great work.
Again I said this earlier, but while everybody else was
enjoying a wonderful weekend, Rory worked very hard putting together
(30:49):
the weekend dive, which was spectacular. By the way, I'm
trying to get that on our Nashville station for those
who live here in Nashville, but you could always find
it on your iHeartRadio app. And then a great job yesterday,
Thank you very much, skip out.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Early and go rest there we'll do.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Unfortunately, he's got twenty seven more stations from all right
fifty seven after the hour. I don't know where time goes.
It flies, whether you're having fun or not. It's good
to be back to work. Short week because of the
Labor Day weekend. Things to look forward to. We're one
week away from the presidential debate. NFL football has it
saying kicks off Thursday night with the Ravens and the Chiefs,
(31:27):
and really other than that, I would think all attention
is going to turn to the Middle East, so we'll
certainly have more on that, and then the guys predicting
that a civil war isn't necessarily off the table for
the United States. I want to kick around some of
that with David Snati tomorrow. We're all in this together.
