Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining

(00:24):
us for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Two three, starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding well.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael dell Chean enjoying a nice, tall hot cup
of coffee. Time for you to get out of bed
and get yourself one six minutes after the hour. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show on the air
and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I Am Michael

(00:54):
del Jorno. Welcome to Thursday, the fifth of September, NFL
kickoff Thursday Night Foot Paul on NBC Tonight, The Yeah
Baby Chief's going for a three peat? Yeah Baby? What
if they'll bring up Travis Kelcey in the leaked document
potentially the fake relationship, and the September twenty eighth, the breakup.
Will it fit the narrative or will they talk about

(01:15):
these two great quarterbacks. Liz Cheney's come out and endorsed
Kamala Harris. We have an interesting piece of audio video
of Liz Cheney discussing Kamala Harris. So, if you're asking
yourself this morning, what makes more sense every value you
have and the rules for those values in your beliefs

(01:38):
or your hatred for one man? And I'll let you
figure out how this for two hundred Alex, I think
you are right. It's an audio daily double today, it's
an audio daily double. And then we have the Waltz
family picture all wearing Trump shirts. This is I think
his grandfathers, brothers. So that's true. Yeah, they've never met

(02:03):
Tim Okay, nor do they stand for anything he stands for.
But so it's propaganda. It doesn't stop the media in
you know, when they do things about Trump family members
that are against Donald Trump. And that's what's got Donald
Trump Junior crying foul. The real foul is the debate
now in the town hall meeting with Lashawan, Hannity last night,
nice hair the President teeth. The President expressed his disgust

(02:28):
with ABC and the conflicts of interest. It may be unfair,
but it's his only shot, so he's going forward. Now
we're getting reports that ABC News allegedly gave some assurances
to Harris's campaign yesterday that the moderators could turn on
microphones during the upcoming presidential debate. So they agree to rules.

(02:53):
The rules are set, and the Democrats are trying to
change the rules. We don't name those thinking rules unfamiliar
there obviously. Our top story is two students and two
teachers are dead following a school shooting in Georgia. Look, nobody,
this is every parent's worst nightmare, can fathom getting that

(03:17):
phone call. What makes this story unique is this student
first and foremost surrendered. Usually they get killed or they
kill themselves. That does nothing for those that are suffering,
does nothing for those who have been lost, but it

(03:37):
will probably do more to help understanding and maybe taking
actions in the future that could prevent So that's the
uniqueness of this case. The other is this kid was
on the FBI radar a year ago and questioned there
wasn't enough to arrest him on those are the two

(04:00):
unique things. What's not unique is we live in a
violent culture. And you know, sometimes in life, the most
difficult things to understand are the ones that are all
of the above. Have we been desensitized? Yeah? Are we
living in a social dilemma? Yeah? Is it a violent culture?

(04:26):
Are they seeing and have they been conditioned and desensitized
to violence and video games until? Yeah? Is there evil? Yeah?
Sometimes it's all of the above. And every time these happen,

(04:46):
we roll out the same news conferences, we do the
same news coverage, and we play the same political games
with them because no one will acknowledge the all the above.
You have conditioned children who are joining this earth already
in progress that there is a god or there isn't
a god, and if there is, they're all the same.

(05:07):
And if there isn't, no big deal. There's no sacredness
to life. See our abortion fights. There's loneliness, there's depression.
There's people living in the same house, but they're not
a family, and the parents aren't training them up seeing
these warning signs. And only the FBI could do so much.

(05:28):
But they had this guy a year ago. What do
you tell two teachers and two students who are gone.
It's very similar to and I don't mean to gin
this up anymore than it needs to be. Drunk driving
is always unnecessary and always seemingly leads to an innocent

(05:51):
person's death. But what it's something like an illegal immigrant
who shouldn't be here anyway. There's just a plus one,
isn't there to the equation. Law enforcement is confirming that
four are dead, at least nine are in the hospital

(06:11):
after an active shooting event. And at Georgia High School,
here's one student that's just multiple.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Gunshots, rapid fires and uh like two times, maybe like
two rounds, Like it was just constant.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It unfolded justice classes got underway at Appalachi High School
in winder Georgia, that's about fifty miles northeast of Atlanta.
This student was inside when the gunfire erupted.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Our gunshots and then my teacher chowd us to get
in the corner and then they were clearing this.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I heard like screaming, This fourteen year old student tells
the Atlanta News Now he was how he was feeling
when he heard the gunshots. I was like a little scared.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
I was trying to make sure all my friends are
okay because I heard like they got shot.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said the law
enforcement response to the shooting was immediately within minutes.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Law enforcement was on sane as well as two school
resource officers assigned here to the school who immediately encountered
the subject within just minutes of this report going.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Out, and they led shooter surrendered to the police, one confronted.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Once they encountered the subject. The subject immediately surrendered to
these officers and he was taken into custody.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
President Biden spoke out immediately after the deadly shooting, saying
a fourteen year old student. In response, the President released
a statement shortly after, saying that he and his family
are mourning the deaths caused by the senseless gun violence.
He called on Republicans in Congress he made it a
partisan political issue. Immediately do that. Walking into a funeral

(07:50):
home when greeting family members morning called on Republicans in
Congress to work with Democrats to pass common sense gun
safety legislation. Would that be Can you really get Republicans
and Democrats in the room and have a common sense
conversation about anything? The President would say banning assault weapons,

(08:14):
high capacity magazines, requiring safe storage of firearms. What would
that be they're in a fingerprint safety or you arrest
the parents and you knock on every door to make
sure of that, enacting universal background checks like that would
apply to a thirteen year old. The frustration is on

(08:38):
all of the above problem with a partisan, narrow political view,
and what you'll hear is commentators say, Okay, so somebody
gets stabbed to death, we should ban knives. And you know,
it sounds like a stupid argument. But if all you

(08:59):
see is the weapon, you don't acknowledge it evil exists.
You don't acknowledge that we've got a social dilemma. You
don't acknowledge that we've been sensitized. You don't acknowledge there's
a cost to becoming a culture of death. You don't
acknowledge that when you lose God, you lose man, you

(09:20):
lose order, you lose self governance, you lose republic, and
who's on the front lines paying the price? Children? We
should be able to go to school and return home.
Another tragedy, this time in Georgia, outside Atlanta. Never a

(09:45):
good way to start the day. The Liz Cheney will
pop up in our Sound of the Day, although it
deserves really a conversation in and of itself. How do
you hate somebody so much that you vote into your

(10:06):
life and the life of those you love and the
country you love, everything that is anathetical to your way
of life? And I'm supposed to respect that. I mean,
you ever heard the expression blind hatred? That's what it
would take for Liz Cheney to suddenly feel as though,

(10:30):
oh my big news is I mean, because I don't
know what to assume other than she never was a Republican.
Everything she's ever stood for in the past or said
in the past is a lie. Or if this is true,
this is the definition of blind hatred. Why well, because
Liz Cheney has a past. Here's what Liz Cheney had

(10:51):
to say about Kamala Harris in twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
As somebody who is a Centrist and in one fell
swoop here he has put somebody on the ticket whose
voting record in the Senate is to the left of
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. So I think that, you know,
the American people are going to look at the subject.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
I would presume that she would endorse Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren over Donald Trump too right you're with today? Yeah,
probably sense of this.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
They're going to look at what she stood for in
the past. They're going to look at what she said
during the primary election, and it's very clear she is
a radical liberal. She's somebody that has said we ought
to spend thirty two trillion dollars on medicare for all.
If you look at her record as well in California,
she did in fact, essentially ban gun sales with executive action,

(11:38):
and she threatened during the primaries to do the same
thing if she's elected.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
If she was so, she was unacceptable to be a
vice presidential running meete four years ago. Now Liz Cheney
is supporting her for president. Was Lizeth fraud all along?
Or is this blind hate? And who who would even

(12:05):
take this seriously? This Cheney? You're not even a serious
character on the theater in the stage.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
These are some of the things that we're kicking around today.
The most unfortunate story of the day. But I don't
mean to have a chuckle in my voice. This is
my worst nightmare when I go into a hospital and
something like this would happen and Alabama man has died.
He went in to have an organ removed and they
removed the wrong organ. Oh, how do you make that mistake?

(12:39):
And you nag me about being late for a break.
That's a mistake. This is your Morning Show with Michael
Del Trono. These are your tomb stories of the day.
President Biden and is speaking out after a deadly school
shooting in Georgia on Wednesday morning. A fourteen year old
student entered his high school with an AR fifteen weapon,

(13:04):
killing two teachers and two students and sending nine others
to the hospital. The President released a statement shortly after,
saying that he and his family are mourning the deaths
caused by the senseless gun violence. He called on Republicans
in Congress to work with Democrats to pass common sense
gun safety legislation. Biden said the actions like banning assault

(13:24):
style weapons and high capacity magazines, requiring safe storage of firearms,
and enacting universal background checks will prevent more shootings in
the future. Well for Donald Trump, he had a town
hall meeting in PA Brian Shook as Our Road to
the White House.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Former President
Trump was back in Pennsylvania for a town hall event
with Fox News. The event, which was monitored by Sean Hannity,
saw Trump immediately get asked about the Georgia High School
shooting Wednesday.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Well, let's say, sick and angry world for a lot
of reasons, and we're going to make it better.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
We're going to heal our world.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
It marked a busy day of campaign events across both
parties as the election draws closer. Trump's running may jd
Vance appeared at a Turning Point action event in Arizona. Meanwhile,
Vice President Harris outlined her proposed tax deductions for small
business startups at a rally in New Hampshire. In Washington,
I'm Brian Shook Hunter.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Biden's federal tax evasion trial starts today in Los Angeles.
Mark Mayfield has the details.

Speaker 9 (14:35):
The president's son is accused of failing to pay more
than a million dollars in federal taxes between twenty sixteen
and twenty nineteen. Biden will be in the courtroom for
the first day of jury's election. Back in June, Biden
was found guilty on felony gun charges in Delaware after
he lied about his use of illicit drugs when purchasing
a firearm. It marked the first time that a sitting
US president's child was convicted.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Of a crime.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Researchers at the University of Virginia say they've come up
with a test to diagnose the genetic markers of autism
and brain images with eighty nine to ninety five percent accuracy.
This is big, This is a breakthrough, Tammy Trihilo reports.

Speaker 10 (15:11):
Pediatric neurologist doctor Abigail Lay at Nicholas Children's Hospital in
Florida says this means doctors may soon be able to
classify and treat autism without having to rely on behavioral clues.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
There is a.

Speaker 11 (15:23):
High percentage of individuals with autism that have some genetic differences. However,
there are many, many, many different genetic differences that can
lead to the behaviors that are consistent with autism.

Speaker 10 (15:35):
This information could also result in earlier interventions. Autism is
typically a clinical behavioral diagnosis based on social communication and
engagement deficits. I'm Tammy, Tricho.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Beetle juice. Beetle juice, beetle juice. Don't say that now,
still Just Jack Kennedy back there? Okay, did you know us.
They're calling it beetlejuice. Beetle juice. Yes, I did. Does
that mean we might get a beetlejuice beetlejuice, beetle juice
instead of a beetle j three.

Speaker 12 (16:01):
You're not really supposed to do that three times in
a row, but yes, I guess that leaves the door open.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Beetlejuice is set to give a boost to the box office.
The sequel of the nineteen eighty eight Tim Burton film
is expected to make about one hundred to one hundred
and ten million dollars in its first weekend in theaters.
If it hits that mark, it'll surpass projections and could
end up being the best September debut ever. Beetlejuice, Go Fit.
You got my tickets. NFL kicks off tonight Thursday Night

(16:27):
football on NBC The Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs Baseball.
Let's see Guardians lost four to one to the Royals,
Cardinals one three to two to the Brewers, d Bes Rangers,
Tampa Seattle. One NAT's lost. Hi, I'm Michael, and your
morning show is heard on great radio stations across the
country like one oh five nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida,

(16:48):
News Radio five seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and news
Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City love to have
you listen to us live in the morning, and of
course we're so grateful came for the podcast Enjoy, But
Jeffries felt the need to like cheer me up. Listen.
I don't like school shootings. It's heavy. One. I love kids. Two,

(17:11):
they should be safe. Ye Three. I have kids that
still walk into classrooms. Fear creates anger that. I'm frustrated
with partisan politics. They don't even I mean, I know
that the President said, my heart goes out to all
the family members, and then he launches right into a

(17:35):
very partisan statement. That's just too much for me. So
Jeffrey's playing these things to try to cheer me up.
And one is this Joy Joy Joy song, and it
didn't work. Then the up and at them, then that,
this and that. Don't even play it, don't it's bad enough.
It's stuck in my ear right. What is that from,
by the way.

Speaker 12 (17:56):
The Joy Joy Yeah, that is just a YouTube video
that I pulled down. It's a it's one of the
kids worship songs what they do with the church.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
So it's very catchy and hard to get out of here, right,
give him three seconds. It might it might be the
very thing that gets them out of bed this morning.
There you go, that's too much energy. I once went
to a conference and they had this old man with

(18:31):
a beard, and he was the only thing on stage,
and you're like, okay, where's where's the worship team, where's
the choir, where's the band? It's just him And so
we're all there with students from all over the country gathered,
and he just looks at everybody and goes, all right,
let's prepare to worship the Lord. Bit about that energy,

(18:55):
and all of a sudden he started playing the tarney one.
Good morning, Jesus, good morning. It's nice to be here.
We could have used a little He's like Vern Gosden
over there. It was one of the more bizarre things.
But so all your efforts to cheer me up didn't work.
But this this email, uh just came and it's belated.

(19:21):
He goes by parrot Mania. He said, thanks for the joy, sir, Michael.
Now I just got through time about beetlejuice. And then
it was Michael Keaton's birthday. We just get talking about
your song Joy and what is the first words in
his email? Thanks for the joy, Sir Michael, the weird
twist this morning. Yeah, maybe God's trying to cheer me
up from the shooting. It's so we are so so

(19:43):
happy that you were born. Your fun filled, informative show
continues to be such a joy, absolutely loving your musical
comedy and impersonations. You are the greatest. Well, thank you.
Please excuse the fact that Hey emails like that. Better
late than never, trust me. It is kind of odd though,
that people don't use their real name because you know

(20:04):
my name and then I don't know yours. It's the
only thing and the other thing with this show is
it'd be nice to know where you're listening. I mean,
we're in Sacramento, Memphis, Tulsa, Seattle, Tampa, Oklahoma City, Portland,
Saint Louis, Cleveland, Akron, Acreage, Phoenix, Washington, DC, Dallas. I
don't know where you're at, So I mean to be
nice to beating an all tip. But the parrot especially,
I had a very strange experience with the parrot once.

(20:28):
This is back when we were in New City or
Cox I can't remember. We were at a manager's meeting
and they had this big kind of like tree type
thing in the lobby and there was this giant McCall
parrot living in it. And I would be the first
one down and we would all meet by that, and
then we would go to our conference rooms and I'd
get there first thing in the morning alone, and this

(20:50):
bird would make eye contact with me. And I cannot
tell you. People think I'm exaggerating, I'm not. He'd looked
at me and his head would just immediately point out
when he recognized me. And I had never seen this
bird before in my life, so he'd stare me down,
and then all of a sudden he'd like like foghorn,
was it log? Fog horn? Leghorn? Foghorn leghorn. He starts
marching down the branches towards me, and he would get

(21:13):
right in my face and lean in, and then it
with great vulgarity, would tell me to blank off. Oh wow,
and then he would march right back up, and then
it always seemed like like a Seinfeld episode. A couple
of minutes later, John Durkey would arrive, and Riccorrey would arrive.
You know, people would start arriving and I would tell
them this, and the birds is sitting up there looking
so peaceful and macawsh right, and they're like, you know,

(21:36):
thinking I made this up. And this happened like three
mornings in a row. We were at the Broadmoor, I think.
So that was before cell phones. You could not get
it out. Oh if I had, if that would be
one of the great things to have on my phone
right now. So finally was the last day and Brad West,
who was the program director of our FM, he showed

(21:58):
up first, and then I walked up and I looked
up and I said, is he anything to you? Uh No,
And they're all looking at me like I'm crazy. All
the sudden he makes eye contact with me, he does
the march down the branch leads. I thought Brad was
gonna fall dead, and then he goes right back off
to the top and then the rest of the guys

(22:19):
arrive and they don't believe me or Brad. So, yeah, parrot,
tell me your real name. I have a lot of
bad associations with parrot. All right, meaningful conversation of the morning.
You know I'm watching I'm about to sneeze, should I
guess music for that.

Speaker 13 (22:38):
Do we have sneeze music? Yeah, I got a little
something like this. It's like right at the tip, just
to buy time. I don't know, save it for if
it comes okay. But you know, you're following the story
in Israel, and it's so baffling. So Hamas following the
three examples of Mohammad in the Koran, whether it's a

(23:00):
Surah or a hadith outside of the Koran, following one
of those three examples, Jihad, don't point to Mohammed, don't
point to the surahs or the hydiths. Hamas enters Israel
just starts raping and killing people thousands, then take hundreds hostage,

(23:27):
then refuse to return the hostages. Then when you get
close to getting to the hostages that they're supposed to
be returning, they kill them anyway.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
And somehow this is all bb Net Yaho's fault. I'm
trying to scratch my head and figure that logic out.
So they're screaming, and some of these are the hostage
families in Israel, but a lot of it is just
the ignorant masses around the world who are living in
a social dilemma, getting one side of a story and

(24:00):
repeating narratives a Moscow six ssages. Now in Yahoo, you're
killing these hostages. Get them released, maybe Dan, Yeah, who
doesn't have the hostages? And I'm not ignorant, I know
what they're implying. Well, if you release the very people

(24:21):
that carried out this attack. In other words, we got
we got everybody that you know, eight of those involved
at nine to eleven. But it's up to George Bush
to release them. Otherwise it's his fault that others are dying.
It's just crazy to me. You said up and Adam right,
maybe there's a reason for that that that seems upside

(24:41):
down to me. And then you have Kamala Harris, the
candidate of Freedom in the party that wouldn't allow RFK
to run in the primary that they would later get
all the votes for Joe and then in Aku just
hand him to Kamala. The same RFK who was forced

(25:03):
out of his party, had to run as an independent
and then harassed daily in courtrooms with law fairs still
being harassed with where he will or will not be
on a ballot. The same Kamala Harris who wants to
end X. The same Kamala Harris that put Tulci Gabbard

(25:25):
on a terror watch list, a veteran, a former presidential
candidate from her party, and that's that's the Party of
Freedom and Hamas does the killing and grabbing of hostages
and then killing of Hosage and it's Bebie's fault. So
coming up in our Sound of the Day, we have RFK,

(25:47):
we have Tulsa Gabbard and the best, of course might
be the Liz Cheney endorsement and what she said about
the person she's endorsing. Now, I know what you're thinking, Yes,
but Kamal has changed so much since then. I'm glad
you asked that, because also in the Sound of the Day,
Peter Doocy point blank asking the White House spokesperson. Okay,

(26:13):
so if she hasn't changed your values, why has she
changed her position so much?

Speaker 8 (26:21):
This is your favorite president forty five, soon to be
forty seven, and my morning show is your morning show
with a guy I like to call Beacher Boy.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's not delivery, it's still join up. Here's what you
need to know. It's your top five stories.

Speaker 10 (26:38):
Of the day.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Law enforcement is conferring. Four people are dead. At least
nine others have been hospitalized after an active shooting event
at a Georgia high school.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
That's just multiple lon shots, rapid fires and uh like
two times, maybe like two rounds. It was like it
was just constant.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
It unfolded just as classes got under way at the
winder Georgia High School, about fifty miles northeast of Atlanta.
This student was inside when the gunfire erupted.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Our gunshots and then my tisa tow us to get
in the corner, and then they were clearing this.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I heard like screaming, this fourteen year old student tells
the Atlanta News. Now he was how he was feeling
exactly when he heard the first shots. I was like
a little scared.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
I was trying to make sure all my friends were
okay because I heard that they got shot.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said law
enforcements response to the shooting was immediate.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Within minutes, law enforcement was on scene, as well as
two school resource officers assigned here to the school, who
immediately encountered the subject within just minutes of this report
going out.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, he got about ten shots off and all, and
this is rare. Surrendered immediately when confronted.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Once they encountered the subject. The subject immediately surrendered to
these officers and he was taken into custody.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Republican Liz Cheney is a official endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
Brian Shook reports.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
The former Wyoming representative gave her endorsement during an appearance
at Duke University, saying she's endorsing Harris because of the
danger Donald Trump poses. Cheney previously served in Republican Caucus
leadership before she was ousted for her criticisms of Trump.
She joins a growing list of current and former Conservatives

(28:25):
who have endorsed Harris, including Olivia Troy, Adam Kinsinger, Stephanie Grisham,
Jim McCain, and Moore. I'm Brian Schuk, a who's who
of conservatives. Right unfair is better than none at all.
Mark Mayfield has our Today in Politics.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
During a tonehol event with Fox News, Trump called ABC
News dishonest, while also saying Vice President Harris would be
getting her questions in advance.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I agreed to.

Speaker 8 (28:48):
Do it because they wouldn't do any other network. The
other thing is her best friend is the head of
the network. Her husband's best friend is married to the
head of the network, and they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Get to questions.

Speaker 9 (29:02):
On Wednesday, both campaigns agreed to the ground rules sent
forth my ABC, which we'll be hosting the event. Trump
had previously threatened a back out of the debate after
Harris's team objected to the rules about mutant microphones.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'm Mark Neefield and this justin. Queen guitarist Brian May
says he suffered a minor stroke last week. He announced
what he described as a health hiccop me. I'd be
milking at I saw the Lord. He said, it wasn't
your time. I got it be off for a couple

(29:35):
of weeks. Went to the hospital last week after he
couldn't use his arm. The Rock and Roll Hall of
Famer reassured his fans he's completely recovered and he's once
again able to play his guitar. NFL Football gets underway tonight.
They go in for a three p It's the Chiefs
and the Ravens on NBC and as a direct TV subscriber,
all I can say is thank goodness it is not

(29:55):
ESPN or ABC. In baseball last night, we had two loser.
There's the Nets and the Cleveland Guardians Cardinals d Backs, Rangers, Rays,
and Mariners all winners. Speaking of winners, Aaron rails here.
Consumers nationwide struggling with the high cost of inflation, but
some hurting more than others.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Right erin indeed, yes, and regionality matters in this one.
And by the way, I think you're gonna get twenty
bucks back if you're a direct TV subscriber.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh you hear that? Dollars? That'll make all the difference
in the world. I hate Disney. In fact, if I
ever see Mickey, I'm gonna kill them ahead.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
But now AnyWho states struggling, So listen, everyone is struggling
Americans everywhere.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
For your pal, you'll have to wine when I get
my hands around his neck. That was a really good Mickey.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
By the way, that was really good.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
I'll strangle myself. That'll make it all better. That'll be fine,
that'll be fine.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
So listen again, consumers. There's struggling dealing with higher prices.
This is nothing new, It is not breaking news. But
what we do know from the Household Pole survey is
that it isn't affecting every consumer everywhere. Americans in the
South and the Southeast are actually having the hardest time
paying for everyday expenses compared to those living elsewhere. This
is all according to census data. Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana,

(31:20):
Florida really struggling. Surprisingly, there was an outlier of New
York that is also forty percent of New Yorker say
they can't afford the basic stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Why why more so in certain regions Aaron, So.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
There's a lot of reasons. Obviously, you know, these are
states that are struggling and that are poor generally, but
the Sun Belt has had a tremendous influx of people
to it. So you would think like, oh, cool, so
why isn't Georgia doing better? Or I'm just using Georgia
or Florida. You would think, well, it has a lot
of big money into it, which is great, but at
the same time, it ends up jacking up the price

(31:53):
of things that were otherwise affordable prior to you know
what they can call, you knowencation, and not that these
not that this is gentrification in its traditional sense, but
the idea that you do have bigger dollars jacking up
prices in places that are not familiar with them at
the moment, along with the fact that these are poor
states to begin with, all.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Right, So I was thinking, immediately, there are some hidden
things that people don't I don't have anybody else, But
we get a city bill and it's for your water,
your garbage and everything. Used to be like eighty dollars
a month. Now it's suddenly three hundred and fifty dollars
a month. I gotta get on the phone of you. Yes,
I got to figure out what's going on with that.
Insurance is insane. Our car insurance is over fourteen thousand

(32:35):
dollars a year for us. Wow. And then I was thinking,
you know, gasoline in some places more than others. I'm
just wondering that. I'm thinking like that. And then the obvious,
which is some of those states you mentioned there's a
lot of poverty, so obviously it would affect them more.
But it's kind of a little bit of everything, right.

Speaker 7 (32:56):
A little bit of everything. And then like if you
look at like a California, which gives a lot of
handout and is extraordinarily tax heavy, thirty seven percent of
folks there say they're struggling relative to like, you know,
the fifty percent in Mississippi or the forty percent in
New York or the thirty three percent in Illinois. I
think like the pandemic shook everything up so much, everyone

(33:18):
is feeling pain. If you look at Minnesota, which is
actually the state that has the least amount of people
reporting economic pain, twenty seven percent, Michael tent to seven
percent is high up a lot of people. Yeah, and
that's the best case scenario.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
You would think that'd be a recipe for a change
in presidency, as it has been in the past. But
you can't blame this on Kamala Harris because it was
Joe Biden, not her. It's amazing. We're all in this together.
